Detective in the Red Chamber

On the contrary, after Sun Shaozu asked about the details, he became a little unhappy. He suspected that Jia Zheng wanted to marry his concubine's daughter to Sun Shaozong, so he complained for a long time at home, "The concubine's cheap hoof is not worthy of my brother."

Unexpectedly, on the day of Po Wu, Jia Lian sent Shu Xiu and invitations with great fanfare, and wanted to hire Sun Shaozong to be the riding and archery instructor of Rongguo Mansion, responsible for supervising Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Lan and other young masters.

Chapter 34

On the day of the relationship, Jia Zheng asked Sun Shaozong to come over, and the chatter was actually an 'interview' in disguise—Jia Zheng was quite at ease with Sun Shaozong's martial arts, this interview was just to test Sun Shaozong's character, so that he would not spoil his nephew .

And seeing Jia Lian come to "Post Employment" with great fanfare, one can tell that Jia Zheng is very satisfied with the results of the interview someday.

But Sun Shaozong is about to go to Shuntian Mansion to take up his post now, but how can he have time to teach a group of dudes how to practice martial arts?

"You can rest assured!"

Jia Lian hurriedly patted his chest and assured, "Our family doesn't point to this outstanding person. You can spend some time teaching them some routines to strengthen their bodies. Naturally, there are others who are responsible for watching the practice, so you don't need to worry about it."

To be honest, if possible, Sun Shaozong really didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters.

But even without mentioning Rongguo Mansion's kindness to the Sun family, Sun Shaozong is in need of Jia Yucun's help right now, so how can he refuse the Jia family's invitation?

Therefore, he could only agree first, thinking that using radio gymnastics as a base, and then using health-preserving Tai Chi to fool him, should be enough to deal with the group of dudes.

But these are the aftermath.

The most important thing for him right now is to take office in Shuntian Mansion!

--split line--

The sixth day of the first month.

It is the first day for officials at all levels to go to work after the New Year's Eve.

In previous years, the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion was very lively, regardless of the official position, they would greet each other with "good fortune" and say some auspicious words - but this year the atmosphere in the Yamen was very strange. The officials and lords had dark faces, and the small officials and government servants below were even more arrogant.

The culprit that caused all this is naturally none other than Sun Shaozong, the new criminal judge!

Ordinarily speaking, a general judge of the sixth rank is actually nothing in this yamen of the highest and third rank, and it is not worthy of everyone being so close to the enemy.

But the bad thing lies in Sun Shaozong's background and the word 'concurrently'!

From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the present, with the exception of the founding generals of all dynasties and dynasties, civil servants have always served as military commanders. Have you ever heard of military commanders serving as civil servants and military ministers and ministers in various places?

In particular, the fact that he was promoted from a fifth-rank military position to a sixth-rank civilian position and was promoted from a fifth-rank riding capital lieutenant was selectively ignored by the civil officials!

How can the literati who are used to being noble and humble, bear it?

Not to mention the entire Shuntian Mansion, even the civil servants at the other yamen's gates are eager to quickly fish this 'catfish' out of the pond, and beat it to death by the way!

That's why Liu Chongshan in Zhizhong ignored the rules and regulations, and forcibly overwhelmed Sun Shaozong with the unsolved naked corpse case. Who knew that this move not only failed to confuse Sun Shaozong, but completely achieved Sun Shaozong's reputation of "judging cases like a god".

Seeing that Sun Shaozong had already gained a firm foothold before taking office. In the past few days before and after the New Year's Eve, the chief officials of the Shuntian Mansion had suffered so many ridicules and complaints in front of their relatives and old friends. !

But he said that seeing the officials arrived in a hurry, the experience department under the Shuntian Mansion suddenly rushed into a small official and reported loudly, "Master, the newly appointed Sun Tong has arrived, and he is currently waiting for the inspection and transfer documents. "

The experience department has a seventh-rank experience officer, who is in charge of the cashier of the documents in Shuntian Mansion. Generally, new officials have to go here to review the transfer documents, and only after confirming that they are correct can they officially take up the post.

"arrive?"

The experience officer Chen Zhichuang hurriedly threw the brush on the pen stand, and only half of the table was dripping with ink, but he still said calmly, "Let's go, let's go with the officer to meet the thief's army for a while." !"

The word "thief supporting the army" was originally a contemptuous name for generals in the army in the Song Dynasty. It was banned at the beginning of the founding of the country, but now this Chen experience is spit out in front of people without hesitation. It is obviously full of hostility towards Sun Shaozong.

But Sun Shaozong was sitting in the front hall, looking at the layout of the experience department boredly, when he saw a green-robed official with mouse whiskers and cross-eyed eyes in the back hall, who looked at himself critically for a long time, and then hung up. He asked in a pretentious voice, "Are you the new captain?"

Sun Shaozong came to Shuntian Mansion to take up the position of general judge of the sixth grade, but this guy said he was a new captain, and his contempt was beyond words.

Therefore, when Sun Shaozong heard the words, he immediately suppressed his smile, stood up and glanced condescendingly at Chen Jing, and asked knowingly, "I don't know who you are, and what position do you hold? If you go to the peak face to face, Sun Shaozong will pay a respectful visit."

Just looking at the green robe, Sun Shaozong guessed that the person in front of him was Chen Zhichuang who had experienced the seventh rank, so what he said was actually telling the old man that the sixth rank is a general judge, and Shangfeng is in person, why don't you come over quickly Paying homage? !

With this honor, Chen Zhichuang was naturally not a fool to be able to achieve seventh-rank experience in Shuntian Mansion, so he immediately heard the unfinished meaning in Sun Shaozong's words, and his momentum was frustrated.

But how would he admit defeat?

Immediately sneered and said, "Lieutenant Sun has not officially arrived at the post yet, so I'm afraid it won't matter if he goes up to the peak or not - the business is urgent right now, so please ask Captain Sun to submit the transfer document so that I can compare it clearly first. So as not to make any mistakes."

The word "present" can only be used by superiors to subordinates. After all, I still look down on Sun Shaozong's background as a general, and insist on acting like a master in front of him.

Sun Shaozong was naturally more upset when he heard this, but if he really wanted to quarrel with Chen Jingli because of the word "cheng", he would only fall into his trap—maybe he hadn't left the experience department yet, and he was a big hat for making trouble out of nothing It is about to be buckled on the head.

But if he obediently handed over the paperwork, he would become a laughing stock in the officialdom!

It has to be said that Chen's experience is indeed a bit ghostly, and he dug a dilemma for Sun Shaozong with a few words - especially now that Jia Yucun has not had time to take office, and he can't even find a helper to take care of him!

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong is not a stunned young man who has never been in the officialdom, and he has long been familiar with how to deal with similar situations.

So he just took out the document without saying a word, and silently placed it on the coffee table on the left.

Now it was Chen's turn to suffer.

Go and get it, his pretentiousness just now was all in vain, and he might even be ridiculed by his colleagues.

Don't take it, Sun Shaozong is a serious boss of the same office, if this stalemate continues, he will be accused of being ignorant of dignity and making things difficult for the chief!

Chen experienced hesitation for a while, and finally decided to choose the lesser of two evils, and waved his hand at the little official behind him, who immediately understood, stepped forward to carefully pick up the document, and handed it over respectfully. Chen went through the hands.

Although there is a layer in the middle, Chen Zhichuang knows well that he is still at a disadvantage this time around, so he dare not underestimate the seemingly rough-and-tumble Sun Shaozong, so he just checked the documents honestly and covered them. Close the anti-print letter.

It wasn't until Sun Shaozong was sent out of the Experience Department that Chen Zhichuang couldn't help but stroking his whiskers, and sighed, "I thought he was just a noble dude who got his ambitions at a young age, but I didn't expect to be so smart and mature. It seems that Shuntian Mansion will be very lively in the future." Look!"

Chapter 35

After receiving the documents, Sun Shaozong naturally went to report to the leader in charge - Zhizhong Liu Chongshan.

Different from Chen Jingji's overt and dark arrows, Liu Chongshan's side is very well-behaved. He just threw a lot of old cases and dossiers that could not be verified in the future to him, and sent him to the exclusive criminal court. Small courtyard.

This is normal, after all, Ya just suffered a loss a few years ago, and due to the situation, she had to bite the bullet and promote Sun Shaozong's reputation—now that his words of praise for Sun Shaozong are still in my ears, it's not easy to turn your face and deny him immediately, right?

Besides, although Liu Chongshan is Sun Shaozong's leader, Sun Shaozong's general judge, as his deputy, has the effect of checking and balancing governance. If he goes too far, Sun Shaozong can even directly impeach Liu Chongshan to the court.

So at least on the surface, he didn't dare to threaten too much.

Having said that, it seems necessary to explain the general division of labor in Shuntian Prefecture

When Sun Shaozong watched ancient costume dramas before, it seemed that everything was done by the prefect. Only Shuntian Mansion was the third-rank prefect, and the rest were cooked by the fourth-rank prefect. But if this was the case in reality, the prefect might have died of exhaustion. I'm back!

In fact, the governor of the third rank is equivalent to the secretary of the municipal party committee in Shuntian Mansion. Although he is in charge of the overall situation in name and can intervene in everything, he rarely handles specific details.

The Fu Cheng of the fourth rank is equivalent to the mayor, who also grasps the big and let go of the small, but manages the details slightly more than the Fu Yin.

Wupinzhizhong can be compared to the secretary of the political and legal committee and the president of the court, who have the right to pronounce judgments in court and investigate cases.

And these three people are honored as the "officials" in the government office, that is, officials who can be promoted to ask questions. The remaining officials, big or small, are not qualified to be promoted alone, no matter how powerful they are.

There are three people in Liupin Tongju, who are in charge of money, grain, taxation, salt and iron household registration, and criminal name cases.

Sun Shaozong's criminal name is a general sentence, and his power is equivalent to that of the police chief. He has no right to go to court for trial. He can only independently or assist his superiors in investigating cases, investigation results and various deduction.

Although it can't compare with the prestige of the "Temp Official", there is also a privilege that the "Tang Guan" does not have, that is, the right to investigate and cooperate with the case.

In other words, no matter whether it is Fu Yin, Fu Cheng, or a major case tried in Zhizhong, it must be reviewed and passed by him before it can be sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for closure.

If Sun Shaozong disagrees with the trial result, he can ask for a new trial with another person. Generally, he should be replaced by Fu Yin or Fu Cheng from Zhizhong.

If the Ministry of Criminal Justice finally ruled that the trial results were unfair, Zhizhong would be in big trouble.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Chongshan has three scruples about Sun Shaozong.

Below that, there are experiences, training, governors, training, inspections, etc., from seventh-rank to low-level officials, who are either in charge of specific details, or assist the three general judges in charge of routine work.

All in all, although Sun Shaozong is not considered a high position in Shuntian Mansion, the word weight is undoubtedly.

Less gossip.

Sun Shaozong went to the northwest side of the Zhizhong compound, in the small courtyard dedicated to criminal punishment, and a group of lower-level officials had long been waiting to meet the new boss.

Because the tallest of these people is nothing more than a fame, and no one dares to be presumptuous in front of Sun Shaozong-of course, it is hard to say whether they will trip him behind the scenes.

Among them was an old acquaintance, it was Zhao Wuwei, the leader of the horse-faced team back then.

This Zhao Wuwei is in charge of more than a dozen police officers, and he has more than 300 temporary workers who are not assigned by the white guards. According to his rights, he is at least the captain of the criminal police, but he is the lowest-level existence in Shuntian Mansion. Among the small officials who entered the stream, none of them were able to line up at the front, and they just stood awkwardly in the corner at the end.

After the dozen or so officials came forward to greet each other by name, the leader, the eighth-rank governor, Lin Delu, presented the official seal of the former judge—because the predecessor died of an emergency, so there was no handover. ceremony.

Sun Shaozong carefully put away the official seal, and said a few more official words. Seeing the sparse responses below, he knew that these birds had their own thoughts, and it was estimated that few of them would get close to him, so he simply announced the dissolution thing.

All the officials scattered like birds and beasts, Zhao Wuwei also mixed among them and left the courtyard.

He just circled outside, seeing no one was paying attention, Zhao Wuwei turned back quietly, hesitated in the yard for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and arrived in front of the main room.

"Master Qi, villain..."

He had just started speaking respectfully outside the door, when he heard Sun Shaozong's voice coming from inside, "Is it Captain Zhao? I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in and talk."

Zhao Wuwei was taken aback when he heard the words, there are three main rooms where the Xing Mingtong Judgment is located, namely the living room, the study room, and the bedroom, and Sun Shaozong's voice came from the study room on the east side, so it stands to reason that he could not see the outside situation at all.

Could it be that Master Tongju can predict the future?

Otherwise, how would he know that he was going to turn back!

Thinking like this, Zhao Wuwei didn't dare to hesitate, he walked into the study with his shoulders slanted, bowed his body, raised his face and asked cautiously, "Master, how did you know that the villain is coming?"

While sorting out the official documents on the case, Sun Shaozong smiled without raising his head, "I asked someone to inquire about it. You are a close friend of the former general judge, and the former general judge had some conflicts with Liu Zhizhong. Now I am afraid that he will not accept you easily. Take refuge—otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for you to find me a few days ago."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Zhao Wuwei's horse face, and said with a smile, "Besides you just stood in the corner, writhing around like a monkey, if I can't see that you have something hidden in your heart, wouldn't it be Blind?"

Sure enough, it is worthy of the "Shen Juan Sun Tong Judgment"!

Zhao Wuwei was amazed in his heart, and saw that the official documents on the desk had been sorted out in a short period of time, and there was no confusion of novices at all, but it seemed that the old officials who were used to such things had increased their confidence in him. a bit.

So he hurriedly knelt down, and grabbed his head and said: "Master is really astute! The villain is helpless now, and he has offended Liu Zhizhong, so he can only take shelter under the master's door. If the master is willing to take care of him, the villain must be in a daze!" No excuses!"

After saying these words, he was kneeling on the ground anxiously waiting for the result, but unexpectedly a thigh-thick arm suddenly reached out and pulled him from the ground into the air!

Zhao Wuwei was startled, he was about to struggle, but he was facing Sun Shaozong's eagle-like eyes, half of his body was so weak, how could he still struggle to move?

Sun Shaozong stared at his horse face, and said with a warm smile, "I don't care whether your words are sincere or false, since you want to be my lackey, you'd better not be half-hearted!"

"Then Liu Zhizhong can at most make you dismissed from office, but if he dares to betray me—you said that with my ability, you broke in through the wall in the middle of the night and wiped out your whole family. Will anyone be able to find out afterwards?"

His smile is like a spring breeze blowing on his face, but the words he speaks are like swords, cold and dazzling!

Zhao Wuwei usually sees the stern words of civil servants, but this is the first time he sees such a domineering boss who wants to kill people everywhere!

Fortunately, he usually dealt with those thieves, and he still had a bit of courage, so he hurriedly said in a trembling voice, "Old...Master, I have learned a lesson, a villain must never dare to have second thoughts!"

"Ha ha……"

Sun Shaozong laughed, gently put him back on the ground, and patted him on the shoulder again, "It's just a joke, don't be so serious—tell me, what do you want to report when you come to me."

If you really want to believe that this is a joke, Zhao Wuwei is a big fool!

But he didn't dare to delve into it, and explained the purpose of coming in a hurry, "Master, I heard that the people in the yamen are going to be at the reception banquet, so I will embarrass you all the time!"

Chapter 36

Night, Dingxiang Tower.

In the spacious hall, there are generally a dozen tables spread out across the board, but there are only a few assistants directly under Xing Ming Tong and the arresters under Zhao Wuwei, who occupy four sparsely in the corner.

At the round table in the middle, only Sun Shaozong was sitting alone at the head seat, his majestic figure swaying in the candlelight, looking rather bleak.

Like this, it's no wonder that the atmosphere of the banquet can be warmed up!

"Boss!"

A short and stocky arrester put his head into Zhao Wuwei's ear, and said nervously, "Looking at the scene today, Sun Tongpan may not be able to stand in the yamen, our brother..."

"What nonsense, shut your stinking mouth!"

Zhao Wuwei lashed out and scolded, but in fact, fifteen buckets were in his heart. At first, he thought that the most important thing was that the officials didn't show face, but who knew that even the subordinates in each house were nowhere to be seen.

Even if the former Tongpan and Liu Zhizhong were in a heated quarrel back then, the officials below had never seen such a uniform line-up.

perhaps……

Did you really cast the wrong path? !

Zhao Wuwei felt a little regretful, but when he thought of Sun Shaozong's remarks during the day, how could he dare to be half-hearted?

Besides, it's already here, won't it make a lot of noise inside and out if you leave halfway?

Why don't other people think so?
