Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 21: Inspection


   Prefect Yamen

   At this time, the door was open, and two lamps were hanging from the corners of the eaves. The entrances were all brick roads. The two government offices were hanging sabers and standing around like nails.

   Thirty-three people passed the gate in the order in which they were posted. Some of the new talents had eyebrows and smiles, some were solemn and reserved, and some pretended to be contemplative. Pei Ziyun swept his eyes and looked up: "Ma Ji is the third on the list. ."

  "The second place is Chen Nan, the second place of Wenyan."

   This young man is very handsome, his eyes are full of ink, and Pei Ziyun thought to himself: "I don't have access to the law, or I can see the reality, but even if I don't have access to the law, I'm a rich man from the face."

   As for the first place, it was Gu Xianggao, a child of about 30 years old. He was not familiar with it. After reading it, he looked over and saw Zhang Yanyu ranked third in the second list.

   "Huh, I am a Taoist, and I am repelled by the dragon's energy. I can rank third in the second list. It is already a very good reputation article."

   "The dragon is energetic, and you may be able to test a person without entering the Dao Sect. It is difficult to test a person after entering the Dao Sect." Under Pei Ziyun's eyes, Gu Xiang led the crowd to the front hall.

   Two people on the first list are on the left and right, followed by the second and third lists in three rows.

  A bookkeeper said loudly: "Gu Xianggao, the chief case officer of this section, leads the new talents, and pays homage to Master Futai!"

   At the moment, Gu Xianggao bowed down, and the rookies behind him also paid homage to the prefect, thanks to the grace of the prefect, and at the same time deciding the names of teachers and students are all rules.

   "Meet Master Xuezheng!"

   Everyone worships again.

  "See you all the housekeepers!"

   In the ceremony of three prayers, the scholar stood up, the prefect smiled, and talked to everyone about his studies, and everyone listened to the teachings under the eaves.

   The prefect’s speech is very brief, followed by Xuezheng’s speech, which is also very brief. After speaking, there is no room teacher to speak. The music starts and everyone enters the banquet. This banquet is in accordance with the ancient rituals. Be humble, play three songs, answer the guest of honor, all have a set of etiquette.

   After the banquet, the prefect did not speak, and everyone had seen Xuezheng one by one.

   For the top three, Xuezheng encourages me a lot, and just comment one or two sentences for the rest.

   Pei Ziyun stepped forward and found that the prefect, Xuezheng, and Fang Shi were very concerned. Xuezheng asked casually. Pei Ziyun answered on the spot. There were no errors or omissions. He saw that Xuezheng was relatively satisfied, and said: "You are only fifteenth this year. Years old?"

   "Yes!"

   Xuezheng said: "I can't see it, reading your article, I thought it was an old talent..."

   did not say the words behind, but only looked at Pei Ziyun carefully. Pei Ziyun's heart was stunned, but she had to smile and hand over: "The student is from a poor family, and what he learns is to learn from the talents of the country. If you can't learn, please forgive me Two."

   Xuezheng heard the words, warmly said: "Well, you can get to the tenth exam this time, it is not easy. The officer has read your papers, and the article is okay, but since you have won a talent, you have to cultivate yourself. It’s always right to raise your qi."

   "Thanks to the adults for the teaching, the students will continue to work hard." Pei Ziyun can only thank you and smile secretly. In fact, Xuezheng means that there is shabbyness in his writing, so he has to nourish his energy and cultivate his grace.

   It seems that the old talents have good literary talents, but the grievances of underachieving talents are actually very taboo in the examination room. The more obvious they are, the more they will not take it. It is luck that I can get it.

   There is no word below. After the banquet, we said goodbye. Some people still stayed in the house, and some went back to the county. Pei Ziyun went all the way back home.

   Jiangning County

   Pei Ziyun took a short break at the county inn, and then went to meet with the county magistrate and the county’s metaphors with Tang Zhen. Of course, it doesn’t need to say much. The county magistrate finally said: "The county’s students, it’s up to you, the culture of this province It’s not very prosperous, so there is an order from the top that talents can give five acres and tax-free ten acres. All of these must be completed soon."

   Pei Ziyun thanked him, Tang Zhen smiled and leaned back. He didn't say much, only one "yes" because his family was not a big landlord, but it had a hundred acres, so he didn't care how many acres in this area.

   The two went out of the county government office, there was a slight rain, the cool breeze swelled, and the wine woke up a little, Tang Zhen smiled: "Brother Pei, are you planning to stay in the county for a few more days?"

   Pei Ziyun was taken aback, and said, "No, Brother Tang will go by himself. I will go back to my hometown immediately after I finish one more thing in the county."

   Tang Zhen didn't force it, he called the bullock cart, and the bullock cart yelled and left.

   At this time, Pei Ziyun also called an ox cart, but said: "Go to the inspection department!"

   The bullock cart driver was startled, and when he saw that Pei Ziyun was wearing a talented green shirt, he answered and went, this spring rain is like silk, there are few pedestrians in the alley, only the sound of hoof stepping in the mud.

   After a long time, the bullock cart stopped for a while, and the driver said: "Here!"

   In the drizzle, Pei Ziyun got out of the car, glanced around, and saw that this was the style of a small yamen. After giving the money, he lifted his feet up the stairs.

   The inspection department does not have a doorman with a knife, but there is a concierge who enters with a post. The entry is a couplet on a pole. See a pair of wooden couplets on the pole: "To deceive others is like deceiving the sky, but not self-defeating; How can the country bear it."

  , there is a government officer leading the way to the big room in front.

  When entering the door, the case file is placed on the table. At the moment, the inspector is looking at the official uniform from Grade Nine, and a long knife is hanging behind the inspector.

   entered the room at this moment, and the yavier said, "Please sit down, wait a moment."

   There were two hospitality chairs in front of the desk, and a tea table was placed in the middle. Pei Ziyun sat on it. It was only for a while that the office servant came, and after having tea, he really left.

   Pei Ziyun saw the inspector's face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a bit of murderousness. When sitting upright, he was holding a dossier note, writing widely, like using a knife.

   Seeing the approval, raised his head, Pei Ziyun said: "Students pay homage to the adults."

   inspector glanced at Pei Ziyun in front of him, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Xiucai Pei, I don’t know Xiucai Pei, you came here suddenly, what's the matter?"

   The inspection department existed hundreds of years ago, mainly for the prefectures and counties. At the beginning, the grade was not influential. In this dynasty, the Taizu established an inspection department in the occupied areas before he became king. It is the town inspection department, which shows that it attaches great importance to the inspection department. After the Taizu became the emperor, a large number of inspection departments have been established throughout the country. They have been institutionalized and standardized. They are generally located on the Guanjin main road and are under the jurisdiction of the local state and county. Archers, check the exchanges, fight against smuggling, arrest thieves, and make regular inspections from the nine products.

Despite the low rank of the inspection department, it occupies an important position in the counties: "The archers of the prefectures and counties arrested them, and they robbed the people's peace."

   This time Pei Ziyun came to the village for the purpose of "catching thieves." He stepped forward and talked about the business: "My lord, before the students left the prefecture for the exam, there was a black wind thief who came to the village. During the extortion, the law and order is not stable. This time the student has been selected as a talent, and it is a little uneasy to go back to the village, and he asked an adult to protect him."

   After listening to the inspection, it turned out that there was a period of contemplation on this matter.

   Da Xu Chuli, the world is disturbed, and there are several thieves in the county. The Inspection Department is responsible for this, but it is not a short time for the Inspection Department to encircle and suppress the towns. The important towns and towns are the first to send archers to inspect, but Wo Niu Village is remote, no one goes, and black wind bandits are raging.

   Since this village Pei Zi has a talented person in the cloud, he sells his personal affection, and sends someone to inspect for a period of time. After thinking about this, he said: "The talented person is here for this matter. You can agree. It's just the beginning of the world. In the stable inland, this remote place is inadequate to allow these thieves to wreak havoc. The official is very disturbed."

   Having said this, he paused for a while before continuing: "Since Pei Xiucai's village is in danger, I will send someone to inspect it, but there are not many people."

  "Of course, these are all people who have been disarmed and retired. Although there are not many people, I don't think this black wind thief dare to harass. After a while, this official will fight the thief one by one and return a peace in the county and village."

   Pei Ziyun is overjoyed, he is just a talented person. This inspector is willing to accept his love and is willing to send a few people. It has already given face, or because he is young, he may want to be promoted.

   It was said that this inspection must also be an officer’s change of profession, and he acted decisively. After he said that, he called a government officer over and ordered a group of archer captains to come, and after a while, someone would come at his request.

   Pei Ziyun looked intently, and saw the captain, a burly figure, a knife on his waist, his face cold, a long scar, his face was cut, and he was hideous.

   inspected the team leader and ordered: "Cao San, this is Xiucai Pei, you will take a group of people and protect them to Wo Niu Village. When you arrive, you will organize the village courage and set up inspections."

   "No!" This Cao San must have been discharged from the army, and he responded loudly~IndoMTL.com~ Cao San and Pei Ziyun went out, and Cao San said: "Xiucai Pei, we are going to Wo Niu Village. Wu Ye has to be busy with luggage and weapons, you go back to the inn first, and we will leave together tomorrow morning!"

   "This is natural!" Pei Ziyun said, seeing this person turning and leaving, seeing his figure, could not help but meditate secretly, revealing a sneer.

  The world is peaceful at the beginning, and soldiers are like wolves and tigers. If the world has been in peace for 30 years, how can it be so unreliable?

   But what I want now is like a wolf like a tiger.

  "Zhang Jieyu, you are a disciple of the Sacred Prison Gate. This time the Yinlong Temple incident, after thinking about the causes and consequences, you will understand that it is your set. Presumably these dozen talents have become your Sacred Prison Gate. Outer disciple."

  "Outer disciples, usually minions, entrenched in counties and townships, give blood to Daomen!"

   "A talented person will practice Taoism and enter the inner door."

   "This is not my business, but you designed me, and this Silver Dragon Temple is too dangerous for the festival of women, so you have to get rid of it."

  "This is something for the future, now we must first remove the black wind thief who bears the brunt."

   "The original owner in the previous life heard the wind faintly, saying that the black wind thief is also your minion, it is too dangerous and has to be removed."

  "The most important thing is that it is said that Heifeng Pirates also has a casual cultivator. It is your Keqing. My mission is to find it on you."

  "Zhang Jieyu, you calculate with me, I will repay with you!"

   thinking about this, a small white plum appeared in front of her, and she quickly zoomed in to become a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the task appeared.

  "Task 1: Rescue Ye Suer (Completed)"

  "Task 2: Examination of talents (to be completed)"

  "Task 3: Obtain the sustenance of the ascetics (unfinished)"
