Chapter 88 Zhao Duan: Anyone who steps out of this door will die!
Seeing Zhao Duan sitting upright, Zhou Cang had no choice but to walk beside him and stand sideways.
After a while, the sound of messy footsteps approached, and there were a few people walking inside and outside the hall.
The leader was the female officer who had just gone to call someone. She cupped her fists and cupped her hands and said solemnly:
"Report to Zhao Jisi, Zhou Baihu, Lihuatang Jisi are all in place."
It is worth mentioning that the imperial office has a strict hierarchy, with the governor in charge of the Jiu Ming Tang Guan Ji Division.
Under the Ji Division, there are about ten "Ji Shi Officers", who are treated like Yu Military Military Officers, so they are customarily called Jin Yi Xiaowei.
Well, the same level as the deposed Zhang Jiaerlang.
Further down, for each investigation, there are several accompanying officials, also wearing brocade clothes, belonging to the subordinate staff.
Including the daily white servants and the clerks responsible for paperwork, the number of people in the entire imperial office ranges from a thousand to three thousand.
Zhao Duan raised his eyelids and scanned the people in the hall.
Behind Qian Kerou, followed closely was a young man with a strong build, thick eyebrows, big eyes, bronze skin, and an expressionless face.
There was a hint of defiance and impatience between his brows, and his calloused hand hung beside the scabbard. He must be a martial artist practicing hard on the sword.
The appearance and temperament are very similar to Li Yuanfang in "Detective Di Renjie".
Zhou Cang whispered:
"This person's surname is Hou, and he is a famous person. He used to work as an errand at the No. 1 Peony Hall. He was very capable, but he refused to obey the rules and had many armed conflicts with his colleagues, so he was squeezed out."
Hou Renmeng... If his surname was Pu, it would be perfect... Zhao Duan thought in his heart and labeled him a "monkey".
Behind the young man, leisurely and leisurely, is an old official of about fifty or sixty years old.
He is not tall and has slightly bald hair. He is holding a large ceramic teapot in his hand and a volume of Di newspaper under his arm.
After entering the door, he smiled at Zhao Duan and then found a chair to sit down in a familiar manner.
"..."
Zhao Duan looked at Zhou Cang, as if asking: Are you sure you haven't retired yet at this age?
Zhou Cang looked embarrassed and whispered: "This is an old man in the yamen. His surname is Zheng. He will retire in one year. He is very senior and is one of the few. He took the initiative to apply to come to Lihuatang. of."
Haha, just say it, you're just a bastard here to support the elderly... Zhao Duan's face was expressionless.
Behind the old guard was finally a young man in Jinyi, about a few years older than Qian Kerou, with prominent dark circles under his eyes and a lazy expression.
When walking, the steps are loose, which is in sharp contrast to the "Hou Ren Meng".
Zhou Cang explained:
"This person's name is Shen Juan. His family has some background and wealth. He has no worries about food and clothing. He is idle and his performance is at the bottom."
I understand, second-generation bastards who are struggling in the workplace... Zhao Duan sighed, thinking that they were all talented people after all.
When I cast my gaze again, there was only a young man arriving belatedly outside the hall.
Unlike others, he was not wearing a uniform, but a satin shirt. He had a good appearance and had fine skin and tender flesh.
But the lowered eyelids and pursed lips gave him the impression of a superior nobleman.
In his hand, he actually held a birdcage containing a precious shrike.
"Li Lang?" Zhao Duan guessed his identity.
Zhou Cang nodded and said:
"Lihuatang is not full yet, and now there are only these five prosecutors."
Well, Zhao Duan sighed and had an initial impression of the five people:
Princess's son and heiress Li Lang.
The cute new girl Qian Kerou.
Old man Zheng is retired.
The fierce and unruly Hou Ren is fierce.
Shen Juan who was just messing around.
This team cannot be said to be full of talents. It can only be said that at the beginning of Tianbeng, old thief Yuan Li... you are cruel... Zhao Duan silently holds a grudge.
…
The five people sat down one after another. Zhou Cang coughed and announced: "The relevant announcement was issued by the Governor yesterday. No more nonsense. The person next to me is the person designated by His Majesty's imperial pen to temporarily act as the inspector of Lihuatang. The new official in the position of Si is also the Baima supervisor who has made great achievements in recent times, Zhao Shijun. "
According to rumors, that dandy raised by the empress?
I was impeached by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but managed to escape unscathed and defeated the Zhang brothers.
The man who recently replaced Mr. Yuan was suspected of biting Pei Kai during the "party struggle" with a despicable, arrogant, extravagant and lewd pretty face?
Everyone has different expressions, but they all know the name "Zhao Duan" like a thunderbolt.
I was surprised when I heard the announcement yesterday.
After seeing her true appearance today, I can only say that the empress has really good aesthetics.
But such a notorious lackey and scumbag parachuted into his immediate boss?
Even the newbie Qian Kerou is a little dissatisfied.
Presumably, similar to Li Lang, he came to take up a casual job and gild his resume, right? The female officer thought silently.
The other four people had similar thoughts and had no respect for their new boss.
Seeing the silence, Zhou Cang was about to say something, but he waved his hand to Zhao Duan:
"Okay, Zhou Baihu will go and get busy. I will tell them about the follow-up matters." "Well... well, if you have anything, please come to the Governor's Hall to find me." Zhou Cang reported directly to Ma Yan, no. Belongs to the Jiutang sequence.
…
Watching Zhou Cang leave, he was the only one left in the Lihua Hall.
The Jinyi captains who had just managed to sit upright suddenly relaxed.
As a member of the royal family, Li Lang stood up first, lifted up the birdcage, and greeted with a mocking smile on his lips and drooped eyelids:
"Let's go, go back and continue playing cards. Oh, what a big deal, we have to go through this time."
Wang Chenjuan yawned and his butt felt heavy. He glanced at the female official and said with a smile: "Sister Rou, please do it for me. I'm really sleepy. I'll lie down for a while."
The cute new Qian Kerou said "Ah" for the rest of his life. He sat upright, waved his hands in a panic, and glanced at Zhao Duan, with an obvious meaning:
Master Ji Si is still here, isn't it appropriate for you to do this? !
Next to him, Thorny Hou Renmeng crossed his arms with a look of disdain.
He had always looked down on people like Zhao Duan who tended to follow people's influence, so he wanted to leave the table.
Only Lao Zheng was calm and calm, blowing hot tea in the vat and squinting his eyes, as if to see how his new boss would respond.
However, Zhao Duan was seen with a calm expression, sitting in the main seat, as if he was not surprised by his subordinate's actions.
He didn't get angry, but said in a calm voice:
"Sit down."
Hou Ren, who was about to leave the table, suddenly paused. He seemed to want to see the quality of his new boss, but did not leave the table again.
Her unruly eyes did not hide away, as if she was not afraid of the power of the empress.
There are always some people in the world who are not afraid of these things, and he happens to be one of them.
As a result, the only person left walking out was the domineering young master Li Lang, who was wearing silk and satin clothes.
Li Lang seemed not to have heard anything and continued walking out.
"I said, sit down."
Zhao Duan folded his hands on his lower abdomen, his voice was still calm, but his tone was a little heavier.
Li Lang finally stopped, turned around nonchalantly, with drooped eyebrows, and said with a hint of mockery: "Zhao Duan, you're all here to mess around with gold, there's no need to make a show of it and tremble here. Awesome, right?
I heard that you had an affair with my sister? Hehe, you look good, no wonder you are a man's favorite... But you have to figure out your identity.
I heard that you are running rampant in Beijing relying on your favor, and you are also hanging out in Beijing circles, hanging out with those Qin servants. I don’t play in that circle, but I also know what kind of things you guys are..."
The "sister" he refers to naturally refers to the current empress, Xu Zhenguan.
It was also emphasizing that his mother was Princess Yunyang.
Several people in the hall had strange expressions. Unexpectedly, Li Lang would not give Xin Ji Si any face, and would not even pretend to do so.
However, who allows people to be relatives of the emperor?
Even though the married princess had the consort's surname, she would not be able to enter the Xu dynasty's family tree in the future.
But...at the end of the day, we are still a family.
After all, the children of the royal family and the foreign ministers are two different classes. Others are afraid of Zhao Duan, but Li Lang is not afraid at all:
"So, don't think that it will really matter if you become a popular person around His Majesty and get a good job. .
If you understand the current affairs and be a transparent person in Lihuatang, everything will continue as usual, and I won't bother to go against you. If you are sensible, I may even take you to play together and get to know the real rich and powerful children. Do you hear me clearly? "
After saying that, the young man in splendid attire turned around and continued to walk out the door with a swagger.
While teasing the caged bird, he pointed out something: "Play cards and play cards, come out with me. Hehe, birds are more obedient than people, and they don't bark when they know they shouldn't."
Brush——The four people in the hall instantly looked at Zhao Duan.
The sun was shining brightly and the scorching sun was high, but for some reason, the atmosphere was quietly tense.
In the almost frozen atmosphere, Zhao Duan squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth little by little, as if he was seeing a predatory beast.
The next moment, in the Lihua Hall, a thin line of golden light suddenly flashed away.
Before everyone could recover, they heard a "pop" explosion!
In the hall, two huge, full-length, floor-to-ceiling vases were torn apart by powerful air machines. They shattered instantly, and water droplets flew from the porcelain pieces.
At the door, the expensive birdcage that Li Lang was dragging was cut off at the waist by some extremely sharp weapon. The cut was as smooth as a mirror.
All that was left of the caged bird was a puddle of hairy flesh and blood.
His right foot was hanging on the threshold.
There was still one step left, and he could step out, but he was forced to stop in the air, unable to make any progress!
Everyone stood up in shock and saw a golden flying knife as big as a palm hovering between Domineering Master's eyebrows.
The flying knife buzzed and trembled, as if it was spiritual and eager for blood. The blade had pierced the center of the eyebrow a little, and a drop of bright red blood slowly slid down.
quiet.
In silence.
Zhao Duan, who was sitting in the main seat without even moving his posture from beginning to end, said coldly: "Whoever steps out of this door will die."
