I'm the villain in the book

Inner Guards: The former Dinui Guards, which were incorporated into the Hanging Mirror Division hundreds of years ago, are responsible for protecting the security of the palace and the royal family.

Commoner Guard: Formerly known as the Sifang Guild, he was recruited later to handle the affairs of Jianghu sects and gangs.

Hua Lingwei: The original core function of the Xuanjing Division was, but the supervisory role was later divided by the Supreme Court, and now it is mainly in charge of raiding homes and killing officials.

Three places.

Zong Secret Office: Manage religions across the country and eliminate evil sects.In general, Daning follows the freedom of belief, but the government is inclined to Taoism, so the Xuanjing Division has been not very good at dealing with Buddhism.

Willow Leaf Office: It was only established a hundred years ago, and it specializes in dealing with monsters and monsters. There are many monsters killed, so it has the best image in the hearts of the people.

Sticky Rod Office: The number of officers is the largest, and they are specially responsible for inquiring about various types of information.

Wei Changtian used to be under the core Hua Lingwei, but since he was going to kill monsters, he must transfer his "relationship" to Liu Ye.

"It's simple, but..."

In the hall, Wei Xianzhi nodded slightly after hearing Wei Changtian's request, but at the same time he was a little worried.

Among these six departments, the most dangerous one is Liu Ye.

"Changtian, if you want to practice, you don't have to do that demon slaying thing."

"Yesterday, you handled the Zhang Family Monster Breeding Case very well. I think it's better to stay in Hua Lingwei. This will also help you take over the Xuanjing Division in the future."

"Father, I know what to do."

Wei Changtian said in his heart that when I took over the Xuanjing Division, he still didn't know the Year of the Monkey and the Horse and the Moon. He insisted: "You can rest assured, I will not joke about my life."

"Forget it, then I'll send someone to take you to the record book later."

When Wei Xianzhi saw that his son had said this, he didn't insist any longer.

"After a night of trial last night, Zhang Hongwen has recruited everything that should be recruited. Now that the person has been escorted from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, it is estimated that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will be executed in public."

"I have arranged how to find out this matter, you don't have to worry, but the emperor has already become suspicious."

"What did the emperor say?" Wei Changtian asked curiously.

"Ugh……"

Wei Xianzhi sighed: "The emperor first said that Xuanjing Division had made great contributions this time, and then added another sentence..."

"what?"

"If your Wei family breaks the law in the future, what will I do?"

"..."

Wei Changtian was dumbfounded for a while: "Then what?"

"Then the emperor laughed twice and said it was a joke, let me not take it to heart."

Wei Xianzhi shook his head, and then suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much.

What's the use of my son listening to these things?

A wry smile appeared on his face, but when he saw Wei Changtian frowning, an inexplicable thought came to his mind.

Not sure, is it really useful?

……

After half an hour, accompanied by a sergeant named Zhou Cheng from Liu Ye, Wei Changtian returned his Hua Lingwei black token to the Internal Affairs Office, and exchanged it for a silver willow-shaped waist token and a lancet. .

The officers at Willow Leaf are divided into three levels, Gold Leaf, Silver Leaf, and Bronze Leaf.

Because Wei Changtian retained the official position of the general banner, he was Yinye at first, just like Xu Qingwan.

However, Silver Leaf was just the beginning for him, but it was the end for Xu Qingwan.

According to the Daning Law, the highest rank for women is the seventh rank, and the flag of the Hanging Mirror Division is already the seventh rank.

Thinking of Xu Qingwan, Wei Changtian suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Zhou Cheng next to him.

"Brother Zhou, what should I do if I accidentally lose this lancet?"

"It's simple."

Zhou Cheng is also a silver leaf, and he is very enthusiastic: "If it is lost during work, just report it and get a new one."

"But if you accidentally lose it in private, then you have to pay some money."

"How much silver?"

"Two or two."

"..."

"Brother Wei, what's wrong with you?"

"nothing……"

Talking all the way, the two quickly walked to the base camp at Liu Ye.

There is a single courtyard in the Hanging Mirror Division, plus three or four small buildings.

It's just that there are not many people inside and outside at this time, and it seems sparse.

"Most people are out for work at the moment."

Zhou Cheng explained: "The scope of our responsibility is the capital and the five surrounding Guo counties. If there are monsters, we need to attend work on weekdays. Unless we encounter big monsters, it is usually a team of two or three."

"It's not up to us to take care of places that are farther away, and the sub-rudders of the suspension mirrors of the state capitals will handle it themselves."

"By the way, you don't necessarily have to stay here when you are in high value, but you must always pay attention to the waist card. Our brand is made of Zimuyu. If you burn the mother jade, the Ziyu will also get hot."

"As long as the waist card becomes hot, it means that there is a task assigned, and you need to rush back to the yamen within a quarter of an hour..."

Zhou Cheng explained some precautions to Wei Changtian carefully, and then took him to see the head of Liu Ye Chu, Kong Changgui.

Although the name is very vulgar, this Master Kong is a real peak fourth-grade master.

It's just that the hairstyle is a bit special, it's actually a bald head.

In the separate hall, Kong Changgui first stated that he would treat all his subordinates equally, and then warmly invited Wei Changgui to visit the Jiaofang Division together after he was on duty.

Wei Changtian actually wanted to go, but thinking that he still had things to do tonight, he finally had to reluctantly refuse, and promised to do it next time.

After leaving Kong Changgui's place, he walked around the courtyard and read the "Daning Monster Catalog" for a long time in the Anzong Pavilion.

Until the bell that represented the lower value rang, the waist card never became hot.

Through the window, I looked at my colleagues who were hurrying to and fro in the courtyard, and then looked at the cup of tea in front of me and the picture book in my hand...

Is this the workplace routine of the second generation of officials?

Chapter 37 Don't Embarrass Your Boss!

Since it's time for get off work, let's go.

Wei Changtian did not have the consciousness to work overtime, and even if he worked overtime, he had nothing to do.

His original plan was to follow others to do one or two missions, and then slowly use Liu Yechu's hand to kill those monsters who should have died under Xiao Fengjian.

But now it seems that I don't know when I have to wait for my first attendance.

Forget it, let it be.

Returning to the Wei House in a carriage, Li Yang arrived on time after dinner.

And as soon as it came, the card game began.

After finally persuading him into the study, Wei Changtian looked at Lu Jingyao who was about to return to the room, and suddenly said:

"You too."

"what?"

Lu Jingyao turned around and looked around, as if she was looking for the third person who didn't exist at all.

Wasn't this woman very smart before, why has she become more and more naive recently.

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and said again: "Don't look for it, it's you."

"Whoa whoa."

Lu Jingyao's face flushed, and then she took two quick steps and followed into the study.

Wei Changtian turned around to close the door, and when Li Yang saw Lu Jingyao coming in, he asked hello.

"Little sister-in-law."

He took Wei Changtian as his eldest brother, and Lu Jingyao was younger than him and his identity was a concubine, so there was no problem with this little sister-in-law shouting.

However, Lu Jingyao's face suddenly turned even redder.

"Li, Young Master Li."

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

Li Yang: This Lu Jingyao is beautiful, but she is actually a stammer. She should be reluctant to be a concubine for her eldest brother.

Lu Jingyao: She was actually called a sister-in-law!Oops, what should I do?

"Brother Li, what are you doing with the pestle? Sit down."

Wei Changtian, who had just come over, looked at the two of them, a little puzzled.

"it is good."

Li Yang agreed to sit down with Wei Changtian, while Lu Jingyao next to him hesitated, neither standing nor sitting.

"No, what are you doing here?"

Wei Changtian reminded angrily, "Pour tea!"

"Oh, oh oh."

Lu Jingyao hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them as if she had just woken up from a dream, but maybe because she was too panicked, she accidentally spilled a few drops of tea with a shake of her hand.

Li Yang shook his head secretly, while Wei Changtian glanced at Lu Jingyao, who was standing beside him, and could only command helplessly again:

"You can sit now."

"..."

Fortunately, Lu Jingyao hadn't been so nervous that she forgot the skill of "sit", and finally bit her lip and successfully sat next to Wei Changtian.

"So what, Brother Li, I came to you today to discuss something with you."

Wei Changtian didn't have the mood to deal with those vain-headed people at this time, so he said straight to the point: "I'm going to open a bookstore."

"Open a bookstore?"

Li Yang was very surprised.

He was not surprised that Wei Changtian suddenly wanted to buy and sell, but he did not understand why he chose to open a bookstore.

This is probably the most difficult job to do.

Under the Ministry of Rites, there is a printing office, which basically monopolizes [-]% of the books and periodicals on the market.

As for the private bookstores...they can't print officially protected books, they managed to find one or two good books, but they are often stolen and printed as soon as they come out.

Pirated books are much cheaper because they do not need to be divided for the author, and there is no awareness of copyright protection these days, and the result is that bad money drives out good money.

"Brother Wei, how can the bookstore below make any money today?"

Li Yang thought that Wei Changtian didn't understand the link, and hurriedly used a counterexample to persuade him: "Didn't the poet Su Wu also set up a bookstore a few years ago?

"If you really want to do some business, I think it's better to open a home guard agency..."

Don't look at Li Yang doing anything else, but when it comes to doing business, he is quite right.

That's why I came to him today.

After listening to Li Yang patiently, Wei Changtian took a sip of tea, and then slowly said, "Brother Li, I understand what you said, but I have my own plans. I will talk to you later."

"As for whether the bookstore can make money, it depends on who does it."

"Some people may be able to do it...for example, Brother Li, you."

"Me?" Li Yang was taken aback.

"Yes."
