Meng Shilang stared dumbfounded at Bai Zhixian's great jumping god, and shouted to the left and right in a panic: "Come on, come on! This person... Is this person suffering from epilepsy? Yixianzhengyin is so disrespectful, Crazy and crazy, what kind of decent."
Fearing that he would lose his black yarn, Bai Zhixian screamed and knelt down on the ground, shouting: "Master Shi Lang, calm down, it's not disrespectful, it's really... ouch..."
Bai Zhixian tore off his hat in a panic, a scorpion stood on top of his head, holding two pincers majesticly, and the tail hook was raised in the air majesticly. Although Bai Zhixian's forehead was covered with hair, he could still see clearly. Seeing a big swelling all over the place, it's hard to understand how he has endured until now.
Meng Shilang turned pale with shock, and said: "You...how did you keep the scorpion in the crown?"
The magistrate was trembling with pain, and tearfully said: "I didn't raise scorpions, and I don't know, ah! I know, it's him! It must be him! They must have done it..."
Bai Zhixian told Meng Shilang about his experience just now with tears and snot in his nose. Meng Shilang was furious and said, "It's unreasonable. Who dares to tease the officials who came to the Yamen like this? Let's check it out quickly." , Baizhi County, you go and identify it yourself!"
Not long after, Ye Xiaotian stood in front of Meng Shilang.
When Meng Shilang asked Ye Xiaotian's name, he suddenly thought of a person. He looked Ye Xiaotian up and down, twisted his beard and said: "A few days ago, there was a disaster relief charity sale and rescued a large number of victims. That person was also called Ye Xiaotian..."
This is the effect of Ye Xiaotian bragging about the packaging for him through Yue Siye of the Imperial College and a group of literati. The dignified second-in-command of the government actually knows his name well.
Ye Xiaotian immediately leaned over and said, "It's the next official."
When Meng Shilang heard it, his face turned pale. At that time, Qiao Naihe, the son of Qiao Yushi, Qiao Zhenhua, came to collect donations. He only donated a belt to meet the mission. He didn't want this group of people to start a charity sale. At that time, Meng Shilang was very nervous, afraid that he would The belt couldn't be sold, and the villagers ridiculed it, so they specially ordered their family members to rush to the auction with a sum of money.
Not wanting to wait for his family to do something, someone rushed to buy his belt at a high price, so Meng Shilang gained a good reputation. After Meng Shilang learned what happened, he had a good impression of the NPC who hosted the bazaar, but Ye Xiaotian Before Le Siye and others preached, Meng Shilang only knew that there was Zhang Hongyan, but he didn't know that there was Ye Xiaotian. Only then did he know that the perpetrator was right in front of him.
Meng Shilang calmed down, and asked: "Ye Xiaotian, I ask you, why did you play tricks on the magistrate of Jiangpu and put a poisonous scorpion in his crown?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "My lord servant, this Bai Hong is a well-known cruel and corrupt official. There is a proverb in the market, saying: "White mosquitoes cross the border, not a single blade of grass grows. This refers to this person. I just want to..."
Meng Shilang clapped the case and said: "Absurd! Confused! Improper! You say he is a corrupt official, but he is a corrupt official? There are certain rules for investigating officials. You assert that others are corrupt officials without evidence, and you think you are a speech official. Can you hear about it?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "My lord, you are high above, and some things may not be clear. The lower officials know whether a person is a good official or a bad official, the lower the person, the clearer he is."
Meng Shilang squinted at him and said, "Bastard, are you saying that I am a foolish official?"
At this moment, Guo Shun, a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, rushed over after hearing the news and came in through the side door. When he saw Meng Shilang reprimanding Ye Xiaotian, he hurriedly stood aside.
Meng Shilang pointed to Ye Xiaotian and said: "It's a ridiculous mess, when did you get transferred to this office, and what position do you currently occupy?"
Ye Xiaotian cupped his hands and said: "The lower official was just transferred to the Ministry of Officials today, and he will be promoted."
Meng Shilang was startled, then turned to Guo Shun and asked, "Does our official department have such an official position?"
Guo Shun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Mr. Shi Lang, our official department didn't have this promotion officer, but it's actually like this..."
Guo Shun leaned in front of Guo Shilang and whispered a few words into his ear. Meng Shilang was about to be transferred to the capital, and he was very sensitive to things related to standing in line and standing. He frowned when he heard about it. , replied in a low voice: "Since he is innocent, let him go back to Huxian County. Why arrange to come to Jinling? You are the same. , you must arrange him in our official department, do you think that if you do this, the princes in the capital will be able to notice what you have done?"
Guo Shun said in embarrassment: "Your Excellency misunderstood, I just feel... think..."
Guo Shun couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for a while, so he hesitated. But in my heart I secretly hated: "This Ye Xiaotian is really a troublemaker. For some reason, he offended Gu Sanye of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, and just arrived at the Ministry of Officials, and offended Guo Shilang. I just thought about something here. Trapping this kid inside, before we can implement it, he got into trouble first, I knew he was such a restless person, why should I rack my brains, am I afraid that he will not seek death by himself?"
Meng Shilang waved his hand to Guo Shun impatiently, and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't let this reckless and ignorant person be in our official department."
Meng Shilang turned to Ye Xiaotian and said: "It is against the court system to add a post for you to promote. You are such an ignorant person, and my Ministry of Officials can't tolerate you. You like to be a corrupt official so much, go to the Ministry of Punishment!"
Ye Xiaotian originally wanted to transfer back to Hu County, but it would be better if Meng Shilang got annoyed and sent him back directly, but he was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Yes! That... my lord, the next official was originally It’s the history of Hu County, and it’s a poor village, so I don’t know the rules of the big place, why don’t you transfer the lower officials back to Hu County, and the Ministry of Punishment, the lower officials don’t care.”
Meng Shilang thought that since Zhang Jiangling wanted to deal with this person, he couldn't get to the bottom of it. Moreover, the disaster relief charity sale he organized was quite to his liking, so he made the big deal smaller and got him out of the officialdom. That's fine with the Ministry, but Meng Shilang was amused when he took the initiative to ask to be transferred back to that poor place where nothing shit happens.
Meng Shilang said in his heart: "It turns out that he came from a small place. He has never seen the world, so he didn't intend to make trouble with this official." Thinking of this, Meng Shilang calmed down his anger, and said with a smile: "Shut up! The court Is it that you can be whatever you want to be an official position? The Ministry of Officials is the yamen that manages officials, and this official is in charge of officials. Wherever this official tells you to go, you have to go there!"
Meng Shilang turned to Guo Shun and said, "Guo Langzhong!"
Guo Shun hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My lord?"
Meng Shilang said: "Give him a new report immediately, and transfer him to the Ministry of Punishment!"
Guo Shun nodded bitterly and said: "Yes, my officer... obey!"
Meng Shilang flung his sleeves and wanted to leave, but just turned around, suddenly stopped, cast a cold glance at Ye Xiaotian, and said word by word: "The magistrate of Jiangpu County, I will investigate him!"
※※※
"It's only one day, and he was driven to the Ministry of Punishment?"
Uncle Li Guo looked at Gu Sanye in disbelief and asked.
Gu Sanye smiled wryly and said: "Yes! I really didn't expect that Guo Langzhong had already arranged a case and planned to let Ye Xiaotian investigate it in two days. At that time, he must be involved in it, and he will be dismissed from office and jailed." The fate of being in prison, I'm afraid that Miss Xia won't come to beg you, who knows..."
Uncle Li Guo patted his forehead in distress, and said: "This is really...the Ministry of Punishment, do you know anyone?"
Gu Sanye lifted his spirits and said, "Yes, but I don't think we need to ask for help from the Criminal Department."
Uncle Li Guo wondered, "Why?"
Gu Sanye smiled and said: "Uncle Guo, Rui Chuan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is Rui Qingxing's father, and Rui Qingxing is Guan Xiaokun's friend. Guan Xiaokun was punished by Ye Xiaotian, and even lost his status as an imperial supervisor. How could he not hate Ye Xiaotian to the bone? As long as Let's disclose this matter to him, he will definitely go to Rui Qingxing for help, when the time comes... "
Uncle Li Guo suddenly realized, and laughed loudly: "This Ye Xiaotian really has enemies all over the world, good! It's good to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If that's the case, you don't need to take care of the third master for this matter. I, Rui Qingxing and Guan Xiaokun I know them all, and I’ll just let them know about it!”
Uncle Li Guo clapped his palms lightly with the folding fan, and stood up with a smile.

When he saw Ye Xiaotian, Yang Fugui, the head of the criminal department, was stunned for a while.
He still remembered this person, although this Ye Xiaotian was an extremely small official, but he had been involved with Mr. Zhang Taiyue, the chief assistant of the court, so they were treated as a hot potato by their punishment department, and they kept leaving them in the posthouse. , he was about to forget about this person, why...he came again
Ye Xiaotian handed over the complaint with a smile, and said: "Master Yang, this is the official document, and the subordinate official has now been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment."
Yang Fugui gave a soft ah, and said: "Your matter has been settled?" He asked, and took the complaint, and looked at the resume above, and there was a line of handwriting, which said that he had been promoted in the Ministry of Officials. Strange, isn't he the canon history of Hu County? When did he become an official in the Ministry of Officials
Yang Fugui took a closer look at the time, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and almost dropped the ring with a "click", Yang Fugui said in surprise: "You... You used to work in the Ministry of Officials? You were transferred to our Ministry of Punishment in just one day? "
Ye Xiaotian rubbed his nose and said, "My lord, is this kind of situation very rare?"
Yang Fugui said: "I've never heard of it!"
Ye Xiaotian said: "This... In fact, Meng Shilang from the Ministry of Officials admires the lower officials very much, but he thinks that the lower officials can show their strengths in the Ministry of Punishment, so he transferred the lower official to the Ministry of Punishment."
Yang Fugui looked at him with strange eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Just wait here!"
Director Yang picked up Ye Xiaotian's confession and went to see Yuanwailang Qianshun. In order to install such an official who is as big as a sesame mung bean, it is an unheard of miracle that the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment have worked so hard.
