Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

After Bai Chen entered the door, he found that it was a living room, and five serious officials in court uniforms were sitting on chairs.

The two sitting on the main seat, Bai Chen, knew that they were the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and they had met at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.

The three officials sitting on the two sides knew that their grades were slightly lower just by looking at their clothes. Among them, Luo Lanye was sitting in the first position on the left, and the other two officials did not know which two departments they were.

After the five candidates entered the arena, they stood in a row and saluted respectfully.

When Bai Chen looked away, he happened to meet Luo Lanye's gaze.

Lord Luo nodded slightly to him, showing encouragement on his face.

Bai Chen was grateful in his heart, but it was not easy to show it in front of everyone, so he just smiled and nodded to express that he would do his best.

"Excuse me, gentlemen," Minister of the Ministry of Officials pointed to the seats on both sides, "please take a seat."

Candidates are a little confused, aren't they here for an interview?Why let them sit with these adults?Isn't this a violation of etiquette?

Seeing that they were all hesitant to sit down, Luo Lanye said, "Sit down, even if it's an interview, you don't have to be so formal. Let's have a chat today."

The boss had already spoken, and the five of them had no choice but to sit down. After sitting down, they didn't dare to move, and their expressions and movements were a little stiff.

How to chat?

A sense of sight of being forcibly pulled by the boss to hold a tea party.

This time it was really a big reform. Not only did the written test have an elimination rate, but even the interview format was changed. I don’t know what kind of medicine these big guys are selling in the gourd.

"The five of you are all the best in this written test. At least you have reached the level of qualified knowledge reserves and meaningful articles." Sun Taiping, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is in his fifties. Although his hair is gray, his eyes are clear and sharp. He said without hesitation, "Compared to previous years, it is already a surprise that five of you can be selected this year."

"However..." He changed the subject, "Although you are better than those twenty and are still sitting here with us, if you perform poorly and fail to meet the requirements of our departments, you can only compete with those twenty. Twenty people together, randomly assigned to other places."

It is typical to give a stick to a sweet date, and inoculate them in advance. Don't think that it is foolproof when you come here.

The people who can come here are much more tenacious than those dudes outside, and they all expressed that they must obey the arrangement.

"Today's interview will be hosted by me." Sun Taiping said, "During lunch, we discussed with several examiners, and we simply put five people together for an interview. The examiners from each department will tell the interview questions. If you want to join Candidates in this department can answer the examiner's questions, and the examiner will comprehensively consider whether the candidate is suitable for his department based on the candidate's on-the-spot reaction and answers. Do you have any opinions on this?"

Although everyone was a little inexplicable about this novel interview method, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing to question, and they all expressed no opinion.

Bai Chen thinks this kind of modern "group face" is quite interesting. When five people stay together, they can hear other people's answering ideas, and there may be competition for the same department. There is pressure and motivation.

"Don't gossip." Sun Taiping cleared his throat, "First of all, Mr. Zuo from the Ministry of Industry is asking a question, please listen carefully."

Mr. Zuo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was a little thin and dark, serious and unsmiling. His eyes swept around the candidates and fixed on the young master who was sitting opposite Bai Chen.

Bai Chen secretly thought that maybe that young master is good at arithmetic and surveying, and he didn't know the few questions that appeared in the previous test paper, all of them were chosen randomly.

From this point of view, in fact, each examiner has a rough candidate in mind, and only needs to conduct further inspections on this candidate, and they will be directly hired if they pass the inspection.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen looked at Luo Lanye, is this boss willing to hire him?

Although he readily accepts which department he is assigned to, he still likes his old job the most after all. It is his greatest wish to let the case come to light and punish evil and promote good for the society.

Luo Lanye's expression was calm, without squinting his eyes, as if he was thinking about waiting for a while.

Bai Chen also knew that Luo Lanye was an upright and rational person, and would not open the back door to him just because of his good performance before. If he did not perform well in the interview, he would not be able to enter Dali Temple either.

Master Zuo of the Ministry of Industry began to read the questions, and Bai Chen also took back his messy thoughts.

Mr. Zuo's topic is that a piece of unowned land in the suburbs of Beijing will be taken back by the state. What kind of public facilities are suitable for the state to build on this land?Candidates can consider a variety of factors for analysis.

"Now we can answer the questions." Sun Taiping stroked his beard, "Please express your opinions enthusiastically."

This kind of question that seems simple but actually involves multiple aspects of knowledge is not in Bai Chen's field at all. He sat obediently and waited for others' answers.

But for a while, no one spoke, including the young master Zuo who was sitting across from him.

Jiang Haochen, who was sitting next to Bai Chen, seemed to move, hesitated for a while, but didn't stand up.

Finally, under Master Zuo's gaze, the young master on the opposite side finally got up.

"Candidate Zhuang Ci, I would like to answer this question."

Mr. Zuo said: "Speak."

Zhuang Ci looks ordinary, but when he speaks, he shows extraordinary knowledge.

He analyzed the weather, environment, water and soil and other aspects, and gave his own answer - the area is not big, and large-scale projects cannot be repaired. It is better to dig wells or divert fresh water to repair ponds, which can improve the water use of surrounding farmland Difficult problems for the benefit of the people.

Master Zuo showed a smile on his serious face, and he asked Zhuang Ci a few more professional questions, and Zhuang Ci answered them to his satisfaction.Immediately he asked Zhuang Ci if he would like to work in the Ministry of Industry, and Zhuang Ci quickly agreed to thank him.

The Ministry of Industry has recruited people, and Mr. Zuo still has something to do, so he left first.

Now there are still four big bosses left in the hall, except for Zhuang Ci who has already finalized the work, the remaining four people can't help but feel uneasy.

The next one is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials asking questions.The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion evaluation of officials, and it belongs to the real power department. Bai Chen thought for a while, but still didn't answer the question. If he wants to go to Dali Temple now, he has to be firm enough, otherwise Luo Lanye will definitely have a bad impression of him.

A big hit is a big hit. Except for Bai Chen, three people chose to answer the question. As a result, Jiang Xueba naturally took it down.

"The next one is the eldest grandson of Qin Tianjian who will come up with the question." Sun Taiping said.

It turned out that this old man who looked like a fairy was an official of the Qin Tianjian. Legend has it that there are some capable people and strangers here, who can predict wind and rain, and predict good and bad.

Bai Chen didn't understand this kind of metaphysics even more, and he didn't even half understand the questions asked.

Unexpectedly, a boy in black who just failed the ranking stood up to answer the question, and was taken away by the eldest grandson.

……

Now Bai Chen and another candidate are left unaccounted for.

Unexpectedly, when it was the turn of the officials of the Imperial Academy to ask questions, he said that the person he wanted the most had already been intercepted, and the remaining two were not what he wanted.

Sun Taiping, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Let's make a deal."

...The officials of the Imperial Academy are so upright!

That's right, most of the Hanlin Academy is the most talented people in scientific research. It is considered a gathering place for high-level intellectuals. How can they look down on them with mediocre knowledge?

Presumably the only purpose of his coming here was Jiang Haochen, but this top student fell into the arms of the officials.

Bai Chen thought it didn't matter, and sat on the Diaoyutai without changing his expression. The other young master was obviously embarrassed and a little annoyed.

"Since Master Jian of the Imperial Academy abstained, then Master Luo of Dali Temple will ask the question." Sun Taiping said.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the aggrieved young master again, "Mr. Ma, what's your opinion?"

"No, no." Mr. Ma blushed and turned pale after being named, and dared not say anything.

Luo Lanye's expression was as usual, and he said: "Dali Temple is complicated and the cases are piled up like a mountain. If you can't bear hardships and stand hard work, it's better to give up as soon as possible. The people I admitted today, even if they are relatives of the emperor, have to start with chores after entering. .”

Mr. Ma paused, and by the look on his face, he had already retreated.

Sun Taiping cooperated very tacitly, and asked, "Lord Luo, can you tell me what's going on?"

Luo Lanye bowed to Sun Taiping: "Since Mr. Sun is interested, I will talk about it. The so-called chores are divided into two types, internal work and external work. The internal work organizes files and records, and the external work goes to the scene of the crime to supervise the work. Autopsy, going to prison to check prisoners, etc. The people I recruit will do both internal and external work.”

As soon as he said this, except for Bai Chen, the expressions of the other four people changed.

Especially Jiang Haochen's face was particularly ugly. He thought of the bloody crime scene and the haunted morgue, and he was in a bad mood.It seemed that his bloodsickness was about to strike in the air.

"Ahem." Sun Taiping felt a little uncomfortable when he heard these words, and coughed hurriedly, "Everyone has heard what Lord Luo said, and Lord Luo will come up with the question next."

Luo Lanye nodded, "Then I'll start writing questions."

Bai Chen raised his head and looked at him seriously.

"One morning, a boy in white was arguing with an old charcoal seller on the street, saying that he was hit by an oncoming old man while walking on the road, and then the money bag was stolen by the old man. He also showed his white money bag to everyone. He said that he took it back from the old man selling carbon, but the old man said that he did not steal the money bag, but that he stole the money." Luo Lanye asked , "Excuse me, do you think this is the young master extorting money or the old man selling carbon stealing money?"

"I think it's an old firewood seller who stole money." Before Bai Chen could speak, Mr. Ma said, "It's unreasonable for a rich man to extort money from a carbon seller."

"What about the evidence?" Luo Lanye said, "In addition to judging the case, it depends on the evidence as well."

Mr. Ma thought for a while, "I can only ask the people around if they saw what happened at that time."

Luo Lanye raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, and asked Bai Chen, "Mr. Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Chen said: "I don't think it is possible to tell who is lying based on Mr. Luo's description alone, but some details can be explored, such as the white purse and white clothes."

Luo Lanye: "Mr. Bai continued."

"The fingers of the old man cutting firewood and burning charcoal are definitely black. If he stole the money bag and bumped into that young master, there must be black marks on that young master's clothes and money bag. If not, it is the young master who bumped into it." Porcelain extorting money." Bai Chen said, "Sometimes those who are well-dressed may not necessarily be sons, they may be street hooligans, you cannot judge a person's identity just by their clothes."

Luo Lanye nodded slightly, "This is a file I have read before. Although it is a small case, a murder of his wife was found behind the back of this man who stole money."

Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but Mr. Ma knew that he had already lost in this competition.

"Would Mr. Bai be willing to work in Dali Temple?" Luo Lanye said, "You are not only careful in thinking, but also firm in heart. We need such a person."

Bai Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Lord Luo, I am very willing."

……

Walking out of the interview room, Bai Chen felt that the whole world became clearer.

He was about to tell Jiang Haochen that he was going to find Kang Wang, but he saw Jiang Haochen approaching him excitedly and hugging him.

"Great! We were all accepted."

Bai Chen's body froze for a moment, and he was afraid of pushing him away suddenly and causing him to fall.

...So he patted Jiang Xueba on the back, and then slowly pushed him away.

"We will be colleagues from now on, and we can have lunch together." Jiang Haochen smiled happily, without any obscene thoughts.

...So he met a heartless familiar?

Bai Chen rubbed his nose and told him a fact, "But one of us is Dali Temple and the other is the official department, and we are separated by... quite far."

Jiang Haochen: ...
