No taboos

Chapter 156 Team (asking for monthly ticket)

Di Youzhi was even more concerned than Xu Yuan and Fu Jingyu about the arrangements made by the Southern Office for the Champa Office.

He has surrendered to Xu Yuan. If Inspector Xu cannot get an important position in the Zhancheng Office next, Di Youzhi and his brothers will have a hard time.

Although Xu Yuan and Fu Jingyu are both confidants of the commander, Di Youzhi will not feel at ease until the official document is announced.

"Keep calm." Xu Yuan said and walked into the yamen.

Inside the main hall of the government office, Xu Yuan saw an old acquaintance at a glance and couldn't help but bow and smile: "Old senior."

Old Yan also laughed: "Xiao Xu."

He came out and pulled Xu Yuan in: "You haven't met him yet, this is Inspector Xu Yuan, whom the commander has always praised!

This time, the Champa case was also turned around thanks to him!"

There were eight people in total who came with Mr. Yan.

In the center was a man in his early forties, slightly plump, with bright eyes, in the prime of his life.

The others sat on his left and right, all of them were young, with only one old man among them.

As soon as Mr. Yan finished speaking, everyone praised Xu Yuan.

Old Yan pointed at the middle-aged man in the middle and said, "Xu Yuan, this is Lord He Youxing, and the next one is Lord Chief Lawyer of the Champa Office."

Xu Yuan quickly clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Lord Chief Lawyer."

He Youxing supported him and said, "Inspector Xu has made great contributions to the Champa Administration. There is no need to be so humble."

Elder Yan then introduced the others: "This is Lady Xie Qingman. She assists Lady He and serves as the Deputy Chief Lawyer of the Champa Office."

The others were inspectors and deputy inspectors.

Elder Yan specifically introduced the old man: "This is my junior fellow apprentice, Qu Jinpeng. The commander originally wanted me to guide you for two years, but I was really unable to do so, so I recommended my junior fellow apprentice."

Xu Yuan understood and hurriedly greeted him with the courtesy of a junior: "Senior."

Qu Jinpeng was very easy to get along with. He smiled and said, "We are all family. There is no need to be so polite."

The various duties of the Champa Office were thus determined.

Qu Jinpeng was the inspector, and Xu Yuan was his deputy, also the deputy inspector.

We were supposed to give a welcome to the newly appointed officials in the evening, but since such a big incident had just happened in the Champa Office, it was not appropriate to hold a large banquet.

In the end, it was at the instruction of Mr. Yan that Xu Yuan simply invited a few adults to dinner.

This again shows the embarrassment of the Champa Office, which can no longer find someone of sufficient status to fulfill the role of host.

As expected, Zhu Sili was dismissed from his post and investigated.

He probably won't be punished, but he will definitely leave the Department of Elimination of Filth.

Ma Tianshou's Jiaozhi South Office would not tolerate people who knew about the tragedy but failed to report it and watched it happen.

Lin Zijin and Lu Qiuyang were both dead, and the Champa Office originally had no deputy chief lawyer.

Now, apart from Xu Yuan, the only person who can come forward from the Champa Office is Zhu Sili's deputy inspector.

Not even as good as Xu Yuan.

Some things are hard to say in front of so many people. After the evening, Mr. Yan brought a message from Ma Tianshou to Xu Yuan: Remember this achievement first. It is not a good thing to be promoted too quickly.

Old Master Yan was still worried about Xu Yuan's thoughts, so he deliberately said, "The commander is thinking of another way to reward you: he has applied for a craftsman's item that is just right for alchemy practice. It's something very important, so we have to wait for approval from the higher-ups."

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me."

Elder Yan smiled and gave another instruction, "Lord He has lofty ambitions and intends to reorganize the Champa Office. Tomorrow morning, you should be the first to recruit those who have recently found you useful to join your team."

Xu Yuan nodded.

It was clear during the meal that He Zhanglu had secured this position with the support of the commander. However, the relationship between He Zhanglu and Ma Tianshou was more like one of alliance than of subordination.

When Deputy Chief Lawyer Xie Qingman spoke to Xu Yuan, she was always soft but firm at the same time, and was only polite on the surface to Mr. Yan.

Xu Yuan observed the other three inspectors himself, and with the help of Fu Jingyu and Yu Yunhang in analysis, he had guessed that two of them were He Youxing's men and one was Xie Qingman's.

Elder Yan continued to reveal key information: "Originally, the Champa Office only had two inspectors, but before He Zhanglu came, he specifically asked the commander for two more inspector positions."

Xu Yuan frowned and thought, these two places...is He Youxing just trying to bring two confidants?
In this way, the Champa Office now has four inspectors...Xu Yuan had some guesses in his mind.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Xu Yuan clasped his fists.

Old Yan laughed, knowing that Xu Yuan understood what he meant. He admired this boy even more in his heart. He was smart and understood things at a glance.

So I couldn't help but think of my past... and my heart was filled with regret.

Mr. Yan has been working in the Department of Extermination of Filth for his entire life.

He has outstanding qualifications, but not reaching the top level.

He has a good background, but it is not enough to ensure his smooth advancement.

Being young and frivolous, I missed two or three opportunities, and then my chances were gone. I could only be a deputy in this life, and finally ended up spending my life in an idle job.

Everything he reminded Xu Yuan of now was the result of his own suffering in the past.

There are many people like Mr. Yan in the Department of Eliminating Filth.

In other words, there are many of them in every government office throughout the Ming Dynasty.

They have a wealth of experience and are well-versed in all the affairs of the government. If they are willing to offer advice, they will definitely be excellent advisors.

But even if they were allowed to live their lives again, they would most likely repeat the same mistakes and end up in a mediocre situation.

This is due to my personality.

Mr. Yan asked Xu Yuan to go and "catch someone" early tomorrow because an office like the Extermination of Filth Department does not need so much intrigue, or in other words, intrigue is only secondary, and everyone's ranking will ultimately be determined by the final "performance".

Having strong and elite troops under your command is the guarantee of your own achievements.

As for who exactly to bring under his command, Xu Yuan has also made plans.

……

The next day, it is forbidden to: stargaze, check the treasury, daydream, and shout in the street.

For the Department of Eliminating Filth and the Department of Mountains and Rivers, these days are better than when night travel is prohibited.

Even when traveling at night is prohibited, there are always a few bold people who insist on drinking and meeting beautiful women.

Instead, "looking at the moon" and "gazing at the stars" are prohibited, and city dwellers dare not go out at night.

After getting up, Xu Yuan went to find Lang Xiaoba first.

Faced with Inspector Xu's invitation, Lang Xiaoba agreed without hesitation.

Lang Xiaoba is the "know-it-all" of the Champa Office.

Then Xu Yuan instructed Lang Xiaoba: "Go wait at the yamen gate. When Di Youzhi and Zhou Leizi arrive, call them over."

"Sir, why don't you wait at the door yourself, showing your respect and eagerness to seek talents?"

Lang Xiaoba was a little bit proud.

The inspector came to see him first, which showed that he was the most valued! Lang Xiaoba unconsciously became the military advisor.

Xu Yuan glared at him and said, "Just go if I tell you to!"

Do Di Youzhi and Zhou Leizi need to be courteous to others? Do they have any other choice?
