Chapter 90 Behind him stood the Empress (please order first!)
"If I don't come in again, are you going to beat him to death?"
The female official with the reputation of female prime minister said coldly.
Hey, Da Bingtuozi, in your mind am I the kind of villain who must retaliate for every slight and don’t know the importance? You don’t understand me... Zhao Duan was sad.
At this time, as Li Lang shouted the three words "Mo Zhaorong", the Jinyi people present suddenly woke up and understood the identity of the visitor.
They all lowered their heads and saluted, not daring to breathe.
Mochou lives in the palace and often visits the mansions of important people when he is out. Most people only hear his name but have never seen him.
But he didn't expect that the "first female official" beside the empress would appear here.
He also witnessed his new superior beating the saint’s younger brother...
I'm going to suffer... Qian Kerou's face changed, and she felt a little sweat for Zhao Duan, thinking that the new Police Department wouldn't just step down after taking office, right?
There are not a few people who have similar ideas.
In this world, there is an information gap called the "Emperor's Golden Hoe".
That is to say, the lower-level officials spent their entire lives unable to understand the complex interpersonal relationships among the upper-level officials.
It is just a stereotype that the emperor's younger brother, even if he has the consort's surname, should not be someone who can be bullied.
Just like a concubine, no matter how favored she is, she does not dare to offend her master's relatives. This is a strict hierarchy under the etiquette and law system.
But there are also some people, such as Old Man Zheng, who are experienced and keenly aware of something wrong.
Mo Zhaorong was busy with official duties, how could it happen by such a coincidence?
Even if you happen to come to see the Governor, you should be at the "Governor's Hall".
How could he come to Ewha Hall?
The conversation with Mr. Xin Jisi was also quite strange, and Jisi didn’t look surprised.
After a brief two-sentence conversation, the two seemed to have an equal relationship.
As for the "relatives of the emperor" who were kneeling on the ground and being tortured, they were ignored.
"Mo Zhaorong! I am Li Lang!"
At this time, the neglected young master wailed again:
"The man named Zhao has no law and used lynching to break my legs!"
Tsk tsk, yes, you finally know how to label me. Why wasn’t I so smart just now? My IQ was above the line? The reflex arc is quite long... I wonder if there are any mothers with long legs...
Zhao Duan was amazed, but smiled and said nothing, too lazy to explain.
Mochou's face was expressionless, and he glanced at Li Lang, who was crying with runny nose and tears, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
She hated all dandies equally.
This is true for Zhao Duan, and it is also true for the princess's children.
If she had to make a comparison, she even "appreciated" Zhao Duan more. At least he was a smart and capable villain.
Unlike this one on the ground, pure waste.
"Zhao Jisi, aren't you going to say something?" she asked.
"He despises and insults the superior, and I punish my subordinates. Is there any problem?" Zhao Duan asked with a smile.
Li Lang was furious: "You see, he is so arrogant, Mo Zhaorong, tell the saint quickly, I want him to die! Conquer the house! Distribute! And these officials, don't listen to me, just watch this dog If you don't stop the thieves, I want them all sent to jail!"
The young master's words were incoherent and his face was ferocious. He still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
The colors of the people inside and outside the hall changed one after another.
There was a fire at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond and was as silent as a cicada for a while.
The stab-headed Hou Ren narrowed his eyes and held the handle of the knife. The second-generation Li Ping next to him glanced at him:
What are you doing?
Qian Kerou was confused. The new female official had the least background among them. Although she was tired of Li Lang's behavior in the past, she tolerated it.
Unexpectedly, the other party wanted to send everyone to prison just because of this. A surge of anger surged up, and he said loudly: "It was clearly you who said before that you wanted to give the new chief authority, so you dragged everyone behind him. Playing cards... Hey, Old Man Zheng, why are you dragging me along?"
Zhao Duan glanced at her and smiled.
Right, this is the courage a martial artist should have.
Therefore, this seemingly well-behaved newbie is actually a prick at heart, and his edge is only obscured by a group of old pricks.
He turned to Mochou, and saw that the neutrally beautiful female official's face was as cold as frost, and she looked at Li Lang with undisguised contempt.
He's just a playboy, he has no brains and is hopeless.
Mo Zhaorong looked away and said calmly:
"Since it is Zhao Jisi's 'family matter', he should be punished. There is no problem."
Ga?
Li Lang's scolding stopped abruptly, as if he had heard wrongly.
The rest of Jinyi were also stunned. This was completely different from the script they had imagined.
Next, an even more confusing scene appeared. Mo Zhaorong's eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and his voice was majestic:
"Zhao Jisi is the chief officer of Lihua Hall appointed by His Majesty. You are under his command and under his jurisdiction. You should obey and do your best to relieve Your Majesty."
After saying this meaningless sentence, she looked at Zhao Duan and said:
"Zhao Jisi, then I won't disturb you in your work. When you finish your work, come out and talk."
Zhao Duan smiled and said:
"Okay. But I have another unkind request."
"……explain."
Zhao Duan kicked the stunned Li Lang on the ground and said:
"According to the law, this person despised his superiors and scolded the court, so he should be severely punished. However, I have just arrived and cannot recognize the whole person. Oh, how about bothering a few colleagues in the imperial army to take this person to the prison and lock him up?"
Mo Zhaorong took a deep breath and said to his left and right:
"Go ahead."
Several accompanying guards responded, stepped forward and dragged Li Lang, who was like a dead dog, towards the imperial prison.
It was only at this moment that the young master came back to his senses and his eyes widened in disbelief.
He kept shouting and cursing, but no one cared.
Everyone present also realized that the sudden appearance of this "female prime minister" was not to rescue Li Lang, but... came specifically for Zhao Duan.
The words just mentioned repeatedly mentioned His Majesty, and the implication was:
She is a human trumpet today, conveying the Queen's wishes.
The empress personally sent female officials to support her superiors.
Thinking of this, the officials at Lihuatang fell silent.
Realizing that my leisurely days may be coming to an end.
…
…
Li Lang's shout disappeared, and Mochou also left.
Zhao Duan waved his hand and dismissed the low-level officers who were watching. He walked back to the "conference table" carrying the blood-stained iron-capped wooden stick.
Putting the stick back into the dusty weapon rack, he sat down, folded his hands, and said with a smile:
"Is there anyone else who wants to leave?" The remaining four prosecutors sat at attention, looking intently.
Zhao Duan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Very well. I don't like long speeches. Just say a few words. Don't interrupt."
"First, I came to the imperial office to do only three things: meritorious service, meritorious service, damn meritorious service.
Therefore, tomorrow morning, I will see all the files and documents that should appear on my desk. Lao Zheng, you are a veteran and the person in charge of documents. You are responsible for this matter. "
"Second, I don't treat my own people badly, but the prerequisite is that I am one of my own people. If anyone is disobedient, don't blame me for being unkind.
I can pretend that what happened today never happened, but from now on every day, unless there are special circumstances, I want you all to be there. "
"Thirdly, I am very busy and will not sit in the hall all day, and Lihuatang has been slacking off for too long, so I need a person in charge.
Qian Kerou? From now on, you will represent me when I am away, do you understand? Well, from now on you will be my ‘confidential secretary’. "
When he said the word "secretary", Zhao Duan's tone had a certain bad taste.
In my last life, I worked as a secretary for others, so today I should enjoy it.
The female official was confused and hesitantly raised her hand and pointed at herself: "Me? I can't do it. I'm a newcomer."
"What's wrong with the newcomer? I am also a newcomer." Zhao Duan's face darkened, "Or do you want to disobey orders?"
Qian Kerou suddenly fell silent.
"Okay, you can convey these words to the subordinates below. I will come back tomorrow morning. I hope to see a brand new hall."
Zhao Duan raised his buttocks and walked out.
I said it was a simple sentence, but it was really just two or three sentences.
When he left, only four people were left in the hall, looking at each other.
"Old man Zheng, you are good at judging people. What kind of person is our lord?"
Shen Juan yawned, rubbed the dark circles under his eyes, and said with a playful smile:
"Is he just a thorn in the side, or is he really here to do things? Oh my, if a madman like Mudan Hall's Chief Inspector comes here, he will really be unbearable. How tiring it will be to fool him."
Next to him, Hou Ren, holding his shoulders, thick eyebrows and big eyes, grinned fiercely and said: "I think it's a bit interesting. I'm a weakling and boring. I'm so idle in Lihuatang that I'll find something to do."
Old Man Zheng held the big teapot, blew on it, and said quietly:
"Young people are just impatient. You should take your time and be careful when looking at people. But I think he is quite different from the rumors. He is domineering, but he has brains. He may not be here for gold plating."
Qian Kerou joined the discussion with a sad face:
"No, please give me an idea."
The three of them looked at each other, smiled, and said in unison:
"Confidential Secretary, that's amazing."
Qian Kerou:......
…
…
"Duke! People have been delivered."
In the governor's hall, Zhou Cangfangfu returned and reported.
Ma Yan, who was wearing a black Feiyu suit and was tall and thin, with a stern face and messy gray eyebrows, said "yes", sat behind the desk in the "office" and asked, "How is it?"
"It's not good. Those thornheads are very uncooperative."
Zhou Cang was worried and told everyone about the card game.
Ma Yan was not surprised and snorted coldly:
"If we cooperate, it will no longer be Ewha Hall."
Zhou Cang said doubtfully: "Governor, with Zhao Jisi's character, he went there rashly. He is just afraid of causing trouble because of his humble position. Don't you really want to go there?"
He doesn't understand.
It stands to reason that since he is an official appointed by the empress, Ma Yan should personally come forward due to emotions and reasons.
But he just excused himself from being busy and sent him to deliver it, which was somewhat inappropriate.
The great eunuch said quietly:
"Why do you think His Majesty stuffed him into the Lihua Hall? If you want to reward him, there are plenty of other good places to go, or do you think that His Majesty and Guild Yuan don't know that Zhao Duan would cause trouble in the past?"
Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment: "The Governor said..."
Ma Yan's stern and stern face smiled, and said meaningfully: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs. Our Majesty thought that I was too soft-handed, so he handed over a knife and gouged it out. Rotten meat.”
Zhou Cang was thoughtful.
Ma Yan drank tea quietly and sighed: "I am not hiding from him, but delaying him. When Zhao Duan and Li Lang's group start to conflict and make trouble, I will go and mediate."
Anyone who can sit in the position of governor of the imperial government will not be a pure reckless man.
Only those who are close to him will know that the great eunuch, known as the "King of Hell", is actually a man with a delicate mind and a rough mind.
However, if he had known that the empress had secretly sent Mochou to deliver him, he would probably have dealt with it in a different way.
According to Ma Yan's assumption, Zhao Duan was a smart man and would most likely not offend Li Lang. He would either pick a weakling to establish his authority or stay put for now.
But the conflict will break out sooner or later, and when the time comes, it's time for him to come forward, and if it does, he will personally stand up for it.
It really failed His Majesty's good intentions.
However, he was too lazy to talk to Zhou Cang about this. He only said: "Go and keep an eye on what's going on at Lihuatang. If there's any trouble, report back."
Zhou Cang took the order and left, while Ma Yan was at the desk processing official documents.
After a while, Zhou Cang returned in a hurry, his face anxious:
"Sir, something happened!"
So fast... Ma Yan frowned and said:
"Is there a fight at Lihuatang? How is it at this stage? Has the person named Zhao suffered?"
He was very aware of Li Lang's domineering arrogance and was afraid that Zhao Duan would be timid and would be disgraced by Li Lang.
If the official's face is disgraced on the first day he takes office, it will be difficult to establish his prestige.
However, when Zhou Cang heard this, his expression became strange. He smiled bitterly and said:
"No... Sir, please take a look, Li Lang has been sent to prison!"
Ma Yan's expression suddenly froze: "You said...what?!"
Thanks to Yi Qi Jue Cheng for his 300-point reward, and Li Shipu for his 200-point reward for their support!
