"Ye Xiaotian? After so long, did the imperial court finally think of him? Letting him serve in Jinling is a step up to the sky. It's a blessing for him. But... isn't he assigned to the official department? Sent to our criminal department?"
Qian Shun, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, asked in a strange way. He didn't like Ye Xiaotian very much. When Ye Xiaotian was selling for disaster relief, he didn't spend his money, so he was very upset. He didn't blame himself for not being thoughtful, he ran to the auction site himself, instead he put the account on Ye Xiaotian's head.
Yang Fugui said: "This... the lower officials also think it's strange, but he was appointed by the Ministry of Officials to our Ministry of Punishment, which is true at all, and we have to accept it, you see?"
Qian Yuanwailang rolled his eyes and said: "No hurry, you can go to the official department to find out what it is for. He only stayed in the official department for one day before he was sent to our place. I will go to the doctor to discuss it. Discuss."
Yang Fugui agreed, turned around and went to the official department. The yamen of the six departments are all next to each other, but not far away.
"What? Ye Xiaotian? Hey! This is really lingering, we shouldn't have made up our minds and asked Hu County to arrest him first, well, it's in our hands now."
Hearing that Ye Xiaotian was assigned to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Yan Qi, the doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was also very upset, because he also went to the charity sale that day with money in his pocket, but the money was not spent.
Qian Yuanwailang smiled wryly, "If it wasn't for that Huxian county magistrate who thought he was smart, it wouldn't be like this. No matter what, the man has already been sent, so we have to accept it."
Langzhong Yan thought for a while, then said with a twisted beard, "No hurry, wait until Master Yang comes back after inquiring about the news."
Yang Fugui didn't have much time to go, so he came back in a hurry. Ye Xiaotian's incident in the official department has been discussed as a big joke by the official department, and he doesn't need to find someone who is particularly well-informed to find out.
This kind of yamen usually has a very serious and rigid atmosphere, everyone follows the rules and regulations, there is no one like Ye Xiaotian who treats the officialdom as a house, and makes such funny things happen, which has become a topic of conversation after dinner.
Yan Langzhong and Qian Yuanwailang couldn't help but look at each other after listening to Mr. Yang's explanation.
Director Yang said: "My lords, how can I arrange this person? He is still waiting in my signing room."
Qian Yuanwailang suddenly said: "After a long time of trouble, it was rejected by the official department and thrown out? The official department promoted it? Hey! How did they come up with it? Fortunately, it is a low-level miscellaneous job. They just put together an official Then he was appointed, or else it would be troublesome. Doctor Yan, what do you think?"
Yan Qi waved his hand, coughed lightly and said: "In my opinion, this matter should be left to Master Shang Shu."
Qian Yuanwailang frowned and said, "The transfer of such a small official should not disturb Lord Shangshu, right?"
Yan Lang said: "This person is a bit special, be careful and make no big mistakes!"
After a while, Yan Langzhong rushed to Rui Chuan Rui Shangshu's signing room. When Rui Shangshu heard this, he was unhappy and thought to himself: "Isn't your surname Meng too dishonest? Your officials don't want such a bastard." , just throw it at our Ministry of Criminal Justice, do you think our Ministry of Criminal Justice collects trash?"
Rui Shangshu frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Is there any free time in this Yamen?"
Yan Langzhong smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, there are no idle jobs in places like the Sixth Department. There are countless pairs of eyes watching each job. Whenever there is a vacancy, there will be a group of people handing over notes and saying hello immediately. Come down?"
Rui Shangshu thought for a moment, then said: "Yes, tell him to guard the gate."
Yan Langzhong was surprised and said: "My lord, although he is a low-level official, he is an official anyway. It is inappropriate to ask him to guard the gate, right? Besides, although the court doesn't care much about him, he has received special care from Zhang Jiangling after all. People who are easy to attract attention, are we doing this... "
Rui Shangshu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about the imperial court. He is just a person who is not easy to deal with at will in order to show your position at special moments and special circumstances. Now that the overall situation has been decided, his identity is It's not so sensitive anymore. Besides, I didn't really ask him to guard the gate, but there is really no suitable assignment for him, um...or else, let him be a gatekeeper."
Yan Lang said in the middle: "Simen Zhanggu? Yes, the next official knows."
This Sect Master is not the gatekeeper, but the one who is in charge of the world's access control, and manages the passage of various checkpoints and key passes. If you want to go to other places, you have to pass through these places, especially for business people, then you have to be issued by the Ministry of Punishment. The "passing place".
The department in the Ministry of Criminal Justice that specializes in issuing such traffic certificates is called Simen. So strictly speaking, this is still a fat job. Simenzhang is a miscellaneous official in Simensi, and there are also Simen Master, Simen Yuanwailang and Simen Langzhong.
Rui Shangshu said impatiently: "Who told him to go to the door? What I said is to hold the door. Since there is no vacancy, I just create an official position for him. Anyway, it is a low-level miscellaneous job." Petty official, just assign him a job and ask him to be paid."
Another created official position? Thinking about Ye Xiaotian's strange experience, Yan Lang couldn't help but said, "Yes, I understand."
…
"Fix the door?"
Ye Xiaotian squeezed his chin, and said confusedly: "Is there such an official position? I have heard of Simen Zhanggu."
Yang Fugui said: "You heard me right, it is to hold the door firmly. Cough, originally, there is no such official position, but there are no vacancies in the various departments of this Yamen, and it is not easy to place you for a while, so Master Shangshu will arrange for you... Cough Cough, that appointed such a position."
Ye Xiaotian said: "But I'm still an official, so there's no reason for me to be a porter?"
Yang Fugui said: "Who said you were asked to be the porter? You are in charge of the porter. You are not only in charge of the porter, but also all the officials who guard the gate. Strictly speaking, you have more than a hundred people under your command. What a majestic man! Go ahead, go to the porter first, and I will think of you when there is a vacancy."
Yang Fugui waved his hand, turned around and walked away. As soon as he turned around, he could not help but smile.
Hua Yunfei leaned forward and said, "Brother, I think they're trying to trick you on purpose."
Mao asked Zhi: "I just remembered, isn't this Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment Rui Qingxing's father? Could it be that old tortoise deliberately bullying elder brother for his son?"
Ye Xiaotian was puzzled and said: "A dignified one is upright, there is no reason to compete with a small shrimp like me, right?"
Hua Yunfei sneered and said: "Brother, they are just a little bit older than officials, but they have a pair of eyes and two nostrils. What is the difference between eating, drinking, and lassing, and us? Don't take them all as gentlemen. Whether a gentleman is as big as an official But it doesn't matter at all."
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "That makes sense. Hmm... If he wants to punish me, we have to be careful. I'm not planning to mess around in Jinling, but if I want them to catch me, I have to show them myself, and We can’t ask them to find us a handle, that’s something we can’t control, do you understand?”
Hua Yunfei said: "Understood! A man can bend and stretch, and Han Xin has been humiliated by his crotch."
Mao Wenzhi was surprised and said, "What do you mean? He still wants us to drill into his crotch?"
Ye Xiaotian and Hua Yunfei turned around together, pretending that they didn't know him, it would be embarrassing to walk with him like this.
Mao Wenzhi still refused to let go: "Why! I don't agree! My mother said that the man has gold under his knees..."

Li Xuancheng, Guan Xiaokun, and Rui Qingxing were drinking in the drunken building, and today's host was Uncle Li Xuancheng. Although Guan Xiaokun was suppressed last time for the theft of relief money, he was expelled from the Imperial College, lost his reputation, and was detained at home by his father for a long time, so he was very depressed.
Li Xuancheng and Rui Qingxing comforted him with kind words, and Li Xuancheng said: "The matter is over, so you don't have to think too much about it. As for the little father-in-law, you don't have to worry about it. What can I say? After a while, if Li Mou invites him, you brothers in the first life will not really break up your friendship because of such a small matter."
Guan Xiaokun poured down a glass of wine, slammed the glass on the table, gritted his teeth and said: "I never thought that Guan Xiaokun would fall into his hands, hey! Huluopingyang was bullied by dogs! Don't let me catch the opportunity, Otherwise..."
Li Xuancheng smiled slightly and said: "Forget it, you have a lot of adults, why should you be as knowledgeable as a person like him. I heard that Ye Xiaotian has already served in the Ministry of Punishment, and he will be regarded as an official in Jinling in the future. You will also enter the officialdom sooner or later. Why bother?" Forge an enmity with him."
Guan Xiaokun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "What? Isn't he a candidate? His matter is settled? He's working in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs now?"
Li Xuancheng said nonchalantly: "Yes, this person had bad luck, Zhang Taiyue was unlucky, but he got credit for it. Not only did the court not investigate his fault, they even transferred him to the Ministry of Punishment."
Guan Xiaokun immediately looked at Rui Qingxing fiercely, and said: "Qingxing, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is your father's territory, but I am your brother. I suffered a big loss at the hands of this kid. This time, you have to help me no matter what!"
Li Xuancheng frowned and said: "Xiao Kun, your actions were indeed inappropriate that day. This matter has already passed, so don't pursue it."
Guan Xiaokun said angrily: "No! Uncle Guo, it's not that I, Guan Xiaokun, don't give you face. What kind of thing is this Ye Xiaotian? He can also ride on my head and do his best? Qing Xing, will you help me with this favor? !"
Rui Qingxing hesitated for a moment, and said, "What do you want?"
Guan Xiaokun gritted his teeth and said, "He almost sent me to prison, and I want him to go to prison!"
Rui Qingxing thought for a while, and said: "There are two uncles in the Ministry of Punishment, who have a close relationship with my father. If I ask them for help, they should be able to help you deal with him, but we have to wait for the opportunity!"
Guan Xiaokun was overjoyed, and said: "Success! I'll wait, I must watch him enter the prison with my own eyes, hahaha..."
