Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

"Where to live is a matter of our family, and has nothing to do with the clan. Is it too much for you to say that there is a disorder of the young and the young in the name of the patriarch? What's the situation in Rongfu? After so many years, everyone In my eyes, I didn't see anyone saying anything. You have to make a big fuss today, and make things difficult for me in front of all the clansmen, so that I can't get down, what is your intention?"

"Where do you live?" Yan Liang asked.

"Rongxitang, how is it?" After Jia Zheng answered, he stared back at Yan Liang unconvinced.

"Where does your elder brother live?" Yan Liang asked again.

Jia Zheng was still confident: "My elder brother lives in the courtyard in the east of the mansion."

Yan Liang: "What's your name?"

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, "What name?"

Yan Liang smiled, but stopped talking.

Jia Zheng saw that the people present looked at him strangely, and realized that the two questions Yan Liang asked him were mocking him.The main courtyard of the Ning Mansion where he lives is square and has a magnificent name, while his eldest brother lives in a remote and unknown broken garden.This proved to be unreasonable, and indeed it seemed to sound like a disorder of the young and old.

Jia Zheng put on a straight face, feeling that he was more resentful than anyone else, and said angrily: "You know where our brothers live is not all up to me, it's all the old lady at home making up her mind, we sons are just being filial and obedient That's all. If I don't listen, I'm afraid you will be accused of unfilial piety, right?"

"The old man is old, and he is a bit confused. It makes sense. But when it comes to right and wrong, as a junior, you should be clear in your heart and want what you don't want. You are not afraid of losing your blessings? If you explained it clearly to your mother back then, wouldn't Rongxitang Where you should live, will she force you to live with a knife!"

"I—" Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "But this has been going on for so many years, and no one has said anything. You still care about what it does. Ask the people present, who cares about these things. "

"Your Rongguo's mansion is high and powerful, and all the clansmen look at you as an example, who dares to provoke you? I'm afraid everyone has been 'crooked' for a long time, and everyone is 'straight'. So much so that the reputation of our Jia family in the capital is getting worse every year."

Jia Zheng's eyes were blazing with unbearable anger, and he secretly gritted his teeth, clearly showing the tense and throbbing muscles of his cheeks.

Seeing that Jia Zheng was still unconvinced, Yan Liang shot a cold chill in his eyes, "If you don't believe me, just look for it. There is no noble family like you in the whole capital. Don't talk about Shilu's House." Even ordinary people with small doors and small households who don’t know how to read big characters know how to distinguish between primary and secondary.”

Jia Zheng was completely ashamed by the words, and he couldn't accept the eyes of everyone looking at him. He had a dark face and hurried away with the sweat on his forehead.

Yan Liang still sat at the top seat, watching Jia Zheng leave with cold eyes, naturally he had no intention of keeping him.

All the elders of Jia's family present were embarrassed. In the past, the Rongning and Ningfu's houses were all out of one nostril, and they, small and powerless households, could only follow suit.Fortunately, the two governments have fallen out, and neither of them is afraid of offending the other.

"You are all respected elders of the Jia family, express your opinion on this matter, whether it is right or wrong, please judge based on fairness." Yan Liang said.

The elders headed by Jia Dairu all understood the result when they looked at each other.If, as the elders said, judgment should be based on, then the matter of the two-room residence in the Rong Mansion is right in front of them. It is ready-made, and there is indeed some priority, and they can't argue even if they want to.Besides, the patriarch was the largest among the people present, and Jia She, the eldest son of the Rong Mansion, was also on the side of the patriarch. It was difficult for everyone to disagree, so they naturally agreed with Yan Liang's idea and judged the fault of the Rong Mansion.

"It needs to be written to prove it." Yan Liang sent someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and ordered Jia Dairu to write down the situation on the paper, and then let the elders take turns to sign and draw.

Everyone was a little flustered when they saw this situation. Before, they thought it was just the brothers of Rongning and Ningfu who were angry with each other and made trouble with each other.I never expected Master Jing to be so serious and require everyone to sign and draw deposits. What is the idea of ​​this?

Everyone was very shocked, but they had already expressed their views before, so they should write their names honestly.

Yan Liang took back the signed paper, ordered someone to keep it carefully, and then announced to everyone: "Senior and young are disorderly, disrespecting elder brothers is not fraternal. After several warnings, I do not know how to repent. The etiquette will tarnish the family tradition. Now that there is actual evidence, everyone agrees, and it can make him leave the family."

The crowd was in an uproar and began to discuss. Jia Dairu was a bit more courageous, and took the lead in euphemistically expressing to Yan Liang that this decision was a bit hasty.

Yan Liang went on to say: "But for the sake of the same family, we should give him one last chance. Before the year-end sacrifice, if Jia Cunzhou still can't reflect on his mistakes, we will gather together and report to the ancestral temple. Hang up all the scores and cut off their names."

All the words about cutting the name have been said!

This time everyone is sure that Yan Liang is not joking, he is really determined to 'play' people.

Yan Liang looked at Jia Dairu: "Is it too much for me to do this?"

Everyone was terrified, and for a long while, no one dared to vent their anger.

"This... this..." Jia Dairu was pushed out by everyone's eyes. He had seen Yan Liang's power, and he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.He absolutely didn't dare to offend Yan Liang, but he didn't want to offend Jia Zheng either.

"Any objection can be raised." Yan Liang reminded Jia Dairu.

Jia Dairu gritted his teeth and shook his head, and hurriedly said: "The patriarch's decision is well-founded, and I will be convinced."

Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement with Jia Dairu's words, expressing that they had no objection.

After Yan Liang dismissed the crowd, seeing Jia She sitting alone in the same place with a worried expression on his face, he naturally guessed what he was worried about.It was just because he was afraid that when he went back to Rongfu, he would be sued by Jia Zheng, and he would be scolded by Jia Mu again.

"Without a small tolerance, how did something great happen." Yan Liang patted Jia She on the shoulder, and didn't say much.If he couldn't resist even this trivial matter, then it would be a waste of effort if he wanted to help him in the future.

When Jia She saw that Yan Liangzhen was gone, he was afraid of panic in the ancestral hall by himself, so he hurriedly got up and chased after him.

The two walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall one after the other, and saw Zhou Rui waiting at the gate.

Zhou Rui's face was flushed, and he was still panting heavily.He came here in a hurry and wanted to meet Master Jing at the gate of the ancestral hall, because he was very afraid that Master Jing would reject him with excuses after returning to Ning Mansion.

Zhou Rui breathed a sigh of relief, then calmly smiled, conveyed Jia Mu's intentions to Yan Liang, and asked him to go to Rongfu.

Yan Liang knew in his heart that if he refused at this moment, Jia's mother would keep sending people to harass him based on Jia Mu's temperament, so it's better to just meet him.

But after arriving at Rongfu, it was strange that Zhou Rui led him to Rongxitang instead of Jiamu's residence.Jia Amnesty wanted to follow, but Zhou Rui prevaricated and left in the name of the old lady.

The door curtain was lifted, and Yan Liang was just about to step into the Rongxi Hall when he heard a man's loud laughter coming from the room.

"Hahahaha, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, Jia Yanliang, I finally see you again."

Not far behind the curtain, stood a tall man, less than 40 years old, with a strong build, phoenix eyes, straight nose, and shrewd eyes.

After Yan Liang glanced at this person, he immediately lowered his eyes.

Jia Zheng was next to him, seeing Yan Liang's expression, and mistakenly thought that he was afraid of his brother-in-law.There was a hint of complacency in his displeased tone, and he explained to Yan Liang: "The old lady suddenly had a stomachache, and it happened that my brother-in-law came, so she asked us men to have fun together."

Yan Liang smiled warmly, "It's really lively. It's no wonder Brother She was about to come and was stopped."

Jia Zheng's face turned pale instantly.

Wang Ziteng laughed again, "You are such a joking person! When we met before, I didn't realize it. Brother Jing, don't hide your secrets from now on."

Although the words were said with a smile, there was a sarcasm in his words.

Yan Liang smiled politely, but still did not look at Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng's intelligence level is indeed much higher than that of Jia Zheng, but in terms of his character, even Jia Zhen can be regarded as a "good person" compared with him.This person was too hostile and had too much karma, Yan Liang couldn't even raise his eyes to look at him, because when he saw it, all kinds of evil reasons appeared in his mind, which made him overwhelmed and could hardly calm down his emotions.

Wang Ziteng sees that Yan Liang is indeed as Jia Zheng said, he is a reckless person, seemingly gentle but very alienated.He laughed louder, and warmly greeted Yan Liang to sit down, and sent a maid to bring a pair of jade bottles, insisting on giving them to Yan Liang.

Yan Liang glanced at the bottle, it was middle-grade.

"Looks good, it's very good for flower arrangement, so I borrowed flowers to present Buddha, just for the two girls to play with." After Yan Liang said, he randomly ordered a woman in the house, and ordered her to bring two jade vases to the house. Go to Yingchun and Tanchun.

Wang Ziteng's eyes darkened for a moment, then he immediately returned to normal, and said with a smooth smile: "Look, you are indeed the patriarch, and you are so kind to children, it's really amazing."

Yan Liang still smiled, he didn't answer, he wanted to see how long Wang Ziteng would endure before talking about serious business.

Jia Zheng was also anxious, staring at Wang Ziteng.

Immediately, Wang Ziteng changed the subject and pointed at Yan Liang, "I haven't seen you many times, but I know that you are honest and kind. I have heard a little bit about your two families. I am right or wrong. Outsiders should not comment, I just want to ask, is there any misunderstanding between you and Cun Zhou?"

Jia Zheng glared at Yan Liang.

Yan Liang shook his head, and replied concisely: "No."

Wang Ziteng suddenly stopped laughing, and said in a solemn tone, "Then why did you make such embarrassing remarks in the ancestral hall?"

"Embarrassing?" Yan Liang curled his lips and had to glance at Wang Ziteng, "May I ask, can you live in the main hall of the mansion at home?"

"Of course it is."

"Why don't you give it to your brother first, and then lobby me." Yan Liang said without opening his face.

"You—" Wang Ziteng's face changed drastically, he slapped the table angrily and stood up, pointing at Yan Liang fiercely.

Wang Ziteng originally wanted to use his dignity to be a peacemaker, thinking that the other party would give him face anyway, but obviously Yan Liang didn't appreciate it and didn't accept this.Now he has been refuted, and he can't get rid of this face no matter what.

It would be even more unreasonable for him to say more as an outsider.Since Jia Yanliang didn't give face, then he, Wang Ziteng, made a note of it, and when he has a chance in the future, he must make Jia Yan good-looking!

"Okay, brother-in-law, I'll take my leave first. I know how to behave properly, and I won't meddle in other people's family affairs casually." Before leaving, Wang Ziteng also satirized Yan Liang.

Yan Liang nodded approvingly when he heard this, smiled with the corner of his mouth raised, and got up to see Wang Ziteng off.

Wang Ziteng was so angry that Yan Liang bled internally.Originally, those words were meant for Yan Liang, but when he nodded indifferently with a face of agreement, Wang Ziteng suddenly felt his face hurt.How could he have forgotten that Jia Yanhao was the patriarch of the Jia clan anyway, and he was in charge of the clan's affairs, which could also be regarded as "own affairs".And his surname is Wang, and he is a real foreigner. In detail, it is obvious that he is meddling in other people's family affairs.

Prince Tengsu prided himself on being clever and quick-witted, but today in front of Yan Liang, for some reason, he flustered and slipped his words, and suddenly acted like a clown.Clever is misunderstood by cleverness, scolding is simply himself!

Jia Zheng felt guilty and sent Prince Teng Gong to Eryimen all the time.

Wang Ziteng frowned and scolded Jia Zheng: "Your brother is a stinky rock. He admits death and is not easy to mess with. But I wrote down what happened today. If he dares to offend you in the future, he will offend me." , make him look good."

Jia Zheng finally took a reassurance, saluted several times to thank Wang Ziteng, and then returned to Rongxi Hall.

Yan Liang was asked to wait here, so he sent someone to get a book and read it casually.

When Jia Zheng came in, Yan Liang lazily rested his chin in one hand and held the book in the other, feeling very annoyed and angry.Jia Zheng stared at him, wanting to wait for him to speak first, but Yan Liang seemed to be immersed in the book, as if no one else was there.

Finally, Jia Zheng waited in embarrassment for a long time before coughing, "I really don't understand, why do you have to fight me to the death, embarrassing me to the end? What's the benefit to you?"

"As I said earlier, I will fulfill the responsibility of the patriarch and keep the clan's traditions secret. I don't mean to target anyone. From now on, I will deal with anyone who violates the clan rules in the clan." Yan Liang dropped the book in his hand, sighed ugly, Just got up to say goodbye.

Jia Zheng asked: "No, I still have to judge with you. You said that I lived in Rongxi Hall because I was a young and disorderly person. Okay, let me count it first. This is wrong. But the big Jia family made more mistakes than me. There are too many people here. Brother, he drinks and lusts, wanders around and does not do his job, which must violate the family rule of "loitering and not keeping a regular job". Why don't you find fault with him, and even collude with him to make things difficult for me! "

Yan Liang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and looked at Jia Zheng, "It seems that you have re-read the family rules. I have already preached to your elder brother, but he listened to the persuasion and kept his face, but you did not listen, which led to today's results. "

Jia Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say that Jia She is a dog who can't get rid of eating shit, but when he thought carefully about Jia She's behavior during this period, he suddenly realized that it seemed that he hadn't heard anyone complaining about him being an asshole for a long time.Could it be that he really changed?

Jia Zheng wanted to ask Yan Liang what the last sentence "today's result" meant, but when he turned to look for Yan Liang, he was no longer there.

Jia Zheng felt uneasy, so he sent someone to inquire, only to find out that after he left, the ancestral hall actually voted on him.What shocked Jia Zheng even more was that all the elders agreed that there was something wrong with him.

Jia Zheng was furious, his sun socket jumped suddenly, his eyebrows and beard trembled with anger.

Just when Jia Mu sent someone to ask about the situation here, Jia Zheng went to Jia Mu to describe what had happened, full of anger and aggrieved.

Jia's mother was shocked, she didn't believe that Yan Liang really dared to remove Jia Zheng, so she summoned Jia Amnesty to question.

Jia Amnesty faltered for a long time, nodded his head in agreement, and then must have been scolded by Jia Mu.

"You wolf-hearted bastard, I raised you for nothing. You actually joined forces with outsiders to deal with our mother and son. What kind of heart do you think you have!" Mother Jia cried fiercely, her chest hanging down.

Jia She hung his head listlessly and said nothing.

Jia Zheng was very afraid that Jia's mother would be hurt by her anger, so he quickly called his wife to comfort her and persuade her not to get angry.

Mother Jia took a breather, and after she calmed down a little, she let Jia Amnesty go away.

Jia Amnesty backed away with a blushing face, but his heart was already half cold.He knew that no matter whether he was right or wrong, as long as he was compared with the second brother, he would disappear in the eyes of his mother.In the past, because of this, he was not reconciled and kept giving up on himself, but now thinking about it, he is really stupid.

Jia Amnesty sneered helplessly, straightened his clothes, walked out from the west corner gate, and headed towards Ning Mansion.

Gradually, Mother Jia has calmed down and regained her senses.

After all, the ancestral hall is dominated by the men of the Jia family. Since the elders and the patriarch agreed this time, how can an elderly woman control her?What's more, the family rules and ancestral precepts are used to talk about things, there is evidence, and the confession cannot be retracted.Mother Jia really felt that this matter was not a big deal. Maybe the eldest son and the second son lived in different places, but it was not to the point of 'disorderly seniority' or 'big disobedience'.

But Jia's mother is very clear about the consequences of the expulsion. The second child not only has nothing to do with the members of the Jia family, he is not even qualified to offer sacrifices to his father in the future.Seeing his second son like this under Jiuquan, the Duke of the country will definitely not rest in peace, and after a hundred years, I am afraid that he will complain to the old man again.

Jia Mu was so angry that she cried again, and scolded Yan Liang for being nothing, a wolf-hearted dog!

When Jia Zheng saw this, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying that it was his unfilial piety.

Seeing this, Jia's mother cried even more fiercely, beating her breast and scolding herself for being incapable of protecting Jia Zheng.

Mrs. Wang looks at this posture.She was angry and anxious, and she was sure that she would not be able to keep Rongxitang this time.Today, she never expected that she would bring her brother in as a lobbyist, but she still ended up like this.Mrs. Wang felt that the master of the East Mansion was very scary, and this step by step was just right, unhurried, and finally fulfilled his wish.

At this time, Mrs. Wang knew very well that whether they expressed their opinion or not, they would be pushed to the step of moving.It's better to take advantage of the old lady's sympathy for them, and the second room can take a proper step back, so that the old lady can miss their second room.As long as the old lady feels that she is ashamed of their second wife, then their second wife will not suffer in the future.

"Mother, blame us for worrying you. We are indeed unfilial." Mrs. Wang turned to look at Jia Zheng, "Master, what do you think?"

Jia Zheng closed his eyes and nodded at the same time, "I beg your mother to allow us to move out of Rongxi Hall and change places with eldest brother."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mother Jia burst into tears again, but she knew in her heart that this was the only choice now.If he continued, Jia Jing really moved his name and removed his second son from the family tree, but it was a joke for the whole family.

"Mother, it's just a place to sleep. We don't need to be serious." Mrs. Wang forced a smile while weeping.

This made Jia's mother feel even more distressed when she saw it, and suddenly said: "Today, this enmity is settled. Let's wait for the future. I will keep my eyes on him, and I will never let him go."

After Mrs. Wang said this, she felt better and went to help Jia Zheng.One of the husband and wife lowered their heads and sighed, and the other covered his face with a handkerchief, all of them looked helpless.

In the evening, while Yan Liang and Jia She were having dinner, news came from the Rong Mansion that Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng had promised to move out of Rongxi Hall tomorrow.

Jia Amnesty was very happy, put down his chopsticks, didn't even eat the meal, and wanted to drink to celebrate.Thinking of his own taboos, he asked someone to serve a small cup of wine.

"I'm so happy today, I have to have a drink. Don't worry, I won't overdose this month."

Yan Liang picked up his wine glass and touched Jia She.

After dinner, Yan Liang saw that Jia She was almost happy, so he asked him if he thought about it.

Jia Amnesty: "What are you thinking about?"

"Learn well." Yan Liang touched the white jade teacup in his hand and smiled.

"Aren't I just learning from you?" Jia She laughed.

"You have to learn well this time, there is no way out." Seeing that Jia Amnesty was still confused, Yan Liang told him, "Your mother must be very angry that you stand by my side, I'm afraid she will still hate you. In the future The days are bound to make things difficult for you, and you will have to support yourself in the Rongguo Mansion, as long as you are upright, you don't have to be afraid."

"Afraid, naturally afraid! Respect brother, the old lady always says the same in the mansion, how can I not be afraid, and my second brother, his brother-in-law is the business governor. You are not allowed to let go of me in the future!" Jia She grabbed Holding Yan Liang's arm, he suddenly regretted that he was so impulsive and offended others.

"I can help as much as I can, but the premise is that you have to do well on your own." Yan Liang put a large-character family rule that he had written down in front of him, "These will be followed from now on."

Jia She read it one by one.

After Jia She finished reading, he blinked guiltyly and looked at Yan Liang.Probably because he felt that there were too many rules in the family rules, and he was afraid that he would violate them accidentally.

"Your second brother handed over the Rongxi Hall to you because of the deterrence of the clan rules. He had to do so. In fact, he had resentment in his heart. In the future, if you and I violate the clan rules, they will definitely seize it." If you don't let go, you will punish us severely, so you must stand upright!" Yan Liang persuaded earnestly.

Jia She suddenly nodded.

"Of course, if you regret it and still want to be looked down upon by your second brother, just pretend that I didn't say anything before, and you can do whatever you want." Yan Liang immediately chased him away.

As long as Jia Shefan wanted to fight for his breath, he would not choose the path of being despised by his mother and brothers.

Jia Amnesty shivered and finally woke up. He hurriedly pulled Yan Liang to reassure him, "Of course I don't want to. Brother Jing, you may not know. In fact, I used to want to proudly stand in front of them even in my dreams. I only hated myself for being incompetent and unable to get out." That's the way. Brother Youjing, you help me now, if I continue to be so useless, I'm still human, I will definitely abide by the family rules."

"Very good." Yan Liang took out the contract signed by Jia Amnesty from his sleeve and tore it up with his own hands.

Jia She was stunned, "What are you?"

Yan Liang: "No need." Because you have nowhere to go, you can only learn it well.

Tears welled up in Jia She's eyes, thinking that Yan Liang was fully trusting him, he was very excited.

Yan Liang took out another folded piece of paper from his sleeve and gave it to Jia Amnesty, "This is the list of children with bad character that I have cleaned up the school during this period of time. For the time being, these people will be punished and go home and not allowed to go to school. This case You leave it to Lian'er to do it."

"Lian'er?" Jia She was surprised, wondering why it was him.

"You are isolated and helpless in the Rong Mansion. You need help. First, win over your son." Yan Liang smiled.

"But how can this be regarded as wooing? Soliciting shouldn't be about giving some money, giving a woman or something." After Jia She said, he felt that Yan Liang's eyes were wrong, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"This is an offending job." Yan Liang explained.

Jia Amnesty still didn't understand, but seeing that Yan Liang didn't intend to continue explaining, he had to figure it out on his own.Anyway, what the result is, we will see the outcome after we do it.

After returning to Rong Mansion, Jia Amnesty found that there were two second-bedroom servants who were afraid of him, bowed from a distance, and then turned around quickly.

Jia Amnesty thought it was quite interesting, and suddenly felt that he was more powerful than before.

As soon as Jia Amnesty returned to his room and sat down, Jia Lian came to the door.

Jia Lian had a troubled expression on his face, wishing that Jia She was not his biological father, "Father, I heard that our ancestors were angry, how could you treat your second uncle and aunt—"

"Shut up!" Jia Amnesty suddenly remembered that he had just read the family rules, and said to Jia Lian, "Be filial and respect your parents, this is your duty as a son, don't meddle in your parents' affairs!"

Jia Lian looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise, felt the other party's anger, and slowly closed his mouth.

"This is a list. Go to school tomorrow and send all these people home." Jia Amnesty handed the paper to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian took it over and looked at it. There were ten people above, including Jin Rong and several other children.

"What does it mean?"

"Just do it, don't ask so many questions." Jia She said impatiently.

Jia Lian: "Father, you did such a thing just after you offended your second uncle. Isn't this going to offend the whole clan?"

Jia Amnesty was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Yan Liang meant.He wants Jia Lian to do some 'bad things' too, and sit in the same boat as himself.This kind of wooing is absolutely amazing!

"I tell you to do it and you do it! We have reasons and evidence, what are you afraid of. Could it be that the thieves are going to roam the streets and the good people are hiding?"

Although the father's metaphor is inappropriate, Jia Lian can understand his meaning.Anyway, it was Lao Tzu's order, so I had to obey, and Jia Lian had to obey obediently, and did it the next day.

……

After Yan Liang entered the palace to thank him, he naturally began to be on duty in the Ministry of Officials the next day.

Although the background of the dynasty in his previous life was very different from this life, the settings of the six ministries of the court are similar. In addition, he has been reading books in Machang some time ago to supplement the knowledge of this dynasty. I can get a rough idea.

The official part includes the Department of Officials, the Department of Examinations, the Department of Jixun, and the Department of Sifeng, which are mainly responsible for official examinations, appointments and dismissals, etc.; there are also archives, main rooms, secretary offices, and supervision offices, etc., which are mainly responsible for relevant clerical affairs .

After Yan Liang arrived at the Ministry of Officials, under the leadership of Shi Yun, another Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials, he first paid homage to Wen Jiyan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Feijiao and Gao Cen, the servants of the Ministry of Officials, and then went to the house to go through the formalities.

As soon as the two entered the door, the officials who were busy sorting out the files in the house stopped one after another and greeted the two adults.

"Let's all be busy." Shi Yun said, and these people became busy again.

Shi Yun took Yan Liang around and explained to him: "Now it's the end of the year, and the three-year performance appraisal is going on, so it's much busier than usual. You came in time, we are short of manpower here."

Yan Liang smiled and nodded, expressing that he would do his best.

"What Master Shangshu means is that you first go to the Examination Department to practice, which happens to be the busiest place. After you pass the difficult place, the other places will be easy. You should be able to get started soon." Shi Yun While talking, he took Yan Liang to the examination department.

On the way, Shi Yun chatted with Yan Liang, and Yan Liang accidentally asked him where his hometown was.

Shi Yun smiled, "In Jinling. In detail, the two of us are actually somewhat related. Your aunt in Rongfu should be called aunt, but we are offshoots of the Shi family, so I am embarrassed to talk about this relative. of."

When Yan Liang saw Shi Yun say these words, he was a little sad, thinking that his family must have had some trouble with Shi Fu.So he just said that there is fate, and Yan Liang changed the topic and turned to business.Shi Yun also understood Yan Liang's kindness, so he regained his joy and continued to introduce without speaking in advance.

When the two were about to go to the Kaogong Division, they met Wu Min, the servant of the Ministry of Industry.

"What are you doing here?" Shi Yun asked.

"I'm afraid I'll lose my job in the performance appraisal of your bureaucracy." Wu Min said with a grin.

"Don't dare. Mr. Wu is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry from the second rank. The promotion, appointment and dismissal must uphold the sacred will. How dare I make mistakes." Shi Yun bowed to Wu Min with a pretentious gesture.

Wu Min was so angry that he raised his foot and was about to kick Shi Yun, but Shi Yun cleverly avoided him.

Yan Liang had heard from the words that the two had a good relationship, so he only observed Wu Min secretly while having fun.

Wu Min had noticed Yan Liang a long time ago, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said: "I advise you, don't associate with him, don't be fooled by this guy's sanctimonious appearance, he has bad intentions, and only picks newcomers to bully him."

"Stop talking nonsense. Brother Yan Liang is not a newcomer anymore. Could it be that you are a three-year-old child with a memory and forgot that he was an official before?"

"Yes, yes, I worked as a doctor in the household department." Wu Min glanced at Yan Liang for a second, and smiled a bit ambiguously, "If you want me to say this person, sometimes it depends on luck. You see, before you, you have been working for so many years It's hard to get to the position of a doctor in the household department. Although they are all doctors, the integrity of this official department is higher than that of the household department. People who have been in the officialdom for three years may not be able to get promoted. You It's just lucky, after two years of cultivation, I was promoted directly."

"Shut your crow's mouth, I don't think you should be called Wu Min, but a crow." Shi Yun turned to humbly apologize to Yan Liang, and asked him to ignore Wu Min, and lead him to the meritorious department.

Wu Min still stood there with a smirk, until he watched the two go away, then turned cold and left.

Only then did Yan Liang stop, turning his head and looking at Wu Min from a distance.

"He's just like that. He speaks straightforwardly, laughs and jokes all day long and has no seriousness. Don't look at him as a casual person, he is very vigorous and decisive in his actions. He has the best performance in the Ministry of Industry, and he is also very popular, and he never gets along with lower-level officials like us." Shi Yun praised with admiration.

Yan Liang still remembered that the first time he met Wu Min was in Guangyuan Building. He was one of the officials accompanying Qi Shengao. Jia Zheng also mentioned him, and it seemed that the relationship between the two of them seemed to be very good.It seems that this Umin has indeed dabbled in a wide range of friendships. Just looking at his appearance just now, he does not look too big, and it is indeed amiable.

But Yan Liang knew that this person was bad to the bottom of his heart. He didn't have many evil causes, just one, but it was enough to make people speechless, more than three hundred lives!He seems to be playing tricks, framing an official for a conspiracy and evil karma.But he planted karma, and the retribution will be in the next life, that is to say, if he can't keep it in this life, he can still be bad until he dies.

For these wicked people who have done evil in this world and will get retribution in the next life, Yan Liang can artificially intervene to make them get retribution in this life earlier.But it is very thankless work, and there is no compensation benefit to speak of.Moreover, in the process of handling the whole matter, one must also pay attention to the means, which must be reasonable and legal, otherwise one will create karma in terms of karma and fall into danger.Therefore, Yan Liang usually tries to avoid making a move when encountering such a situation.

What's more, this servant of Wu Min has a high position and authority, and he is also treacherous, which is beyond Yan Liang's current status, so it's better not to provoke him.

"It's here!" Shi Yun patted Yan Liang's shoulder with a smile, leading him into the examination department.

Shi Yun first handed over the exams for the officials of the Taipu Temple to Yan Liang, "You have just been transferred from there, and you are more familiar with the situation, so you can take full responsibility for the exams for the officials of the Taipu Temple."

Yan Liang agreed, so he referred to the content of the exams in previous years, combined with what he had learned in the stables and animal husbandry office in the past two months, and in just one day, he classified the corresponding exam topics for the officials of the various offices of the Taipu Temple, and then Let it be checked by Shi Yun.

Shi Yun flipped through it, praised Yan Liang for his quick work, and immediately took him to Yang Feikuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to ask.Yang Feiqian glanced through it, gave a thumbs up, and agreed to Yan Liang's test questions.

The next day, all the officials of the Taipu Temple rushed to the dispatch courtyard of the Ministry of Officials early in the morning, preparing to take the exam.

Zhang Dianshi then arrived with people from the Stable and Animal Husbandry Department. A dozen people first went around to greet their colleagues, and then they got together worriedly to discuss the subject of the exam.

A sloppy master surnamed Zheng suddenly asked, "Do you think Jia Yanliang will—"

One sentence immediately turned cold.

Everyone looked at Zhang Dian.

Once again, Zhang Dianshi felt everyone's eyes full of blame, frowned and held back, not wanting to destroy the relationship with his colleagues that he had managed to restore these days.

"No, he has only been in the Ministry of Officials for a few days, so he must be familiar with the situation, and such important things as writing questions and taking exams will definitely not be entrusted to him."

Zhang Dianshi even rejoiced that the exams at Taipu Temple were brought forward this year. If it was the same as before, it would have to wait until the end of the twelfth lunar month, then Yan Liang's side would not be sure.
