There is never a shortage of audiences in the world, all that is lacking is excitement.

The officials sitting in the pergola witnessed the scene in front of them and talked about it with interest. Some people say that the scribe is to blame, others say that the official is insulting, but more people are talking about some gossip.

Lin Haoran learned from the mouths of others that this thin official was called Lei Changjiang, the head of the seven products of the household department. But he offended the newly appointed household secretary Jia Yingchun, and now he is sent to Guangdong to serve as a Tongzhi.

It is already a common practice for Beijing officials to be released and promoted to a higher grade. But this time it is actually a bright rise and a dark fall, after all, a seven-grade household head is far more important than a fellow in a remote province, which can't be counted no matter how you look at it.

Now that Lei Changjiang is in the household department, he is afraid that his career will be completely ruined. If a petty official in such a place is on the blacklist of the household department, how can he still have a chance to be promoted, and maybe he will become a funeral object for the next Jingcha.

Lei Changjiang watched the officers and soldiers of Shuntian Mansion arrive, and then he withdrew his hand, and the scribe's face was already swollen like a pig's head.

Since ancient times, "the prime minister's door in front of the seven officials", this scribe can collect tea money here, so he naturally has some confidence. And his confidence comes from Wu Peng, he is Wu Peng's former subordinate.

With the help of the two errand servants, the pig-faced scribe pointed at Lei Changjiang and said sharply: "Arrest him, he beat me, and everyone around me can testify!" ”

These officers and soldiers of Shuntianfu also have a headache, this kind of case involving officials is the most difficult to handle, but seeing that the perpetrator is only a seventh-grade official, he is also secretly relieved.

Lei Changjiang's face sank, and he immediately glared at the scribe and said, "He insulted my mother first!" ”

But it wasn't that he was unreasonable, but that this scribe scolded his mother in Hunan just now, and he just understood Hunan language, so he was furious and beat this person.

The scribe seemed to have no fear, pointed to the people around him, and asked with an arrogant face: "You said that I insulted your mother, there are so many people here, who heard it?" ”

Lei Changjiang immediately looked at those officials, and one or two officials avoided his gaze, but more of them looked blank. Obviously, the vast majority of people here do not understand the Hunan language.

The scribe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and immediately said viciously: "Don't try to slander me! In front of everyone's eyes, you murdered and injured me, I am not finished with you today, let's see you in the court! ”

Lei Changjiang's heart also sank, but he was not afraid to go to court with him, but the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him. Once he wants to compensate this person for the cost of soup and medicine, then he may not be able to raise enough money to go to the post.

It was at this moment that a young man came over and said lightly, "I heard it!" I can help you testify! ”

The young man who came out was Lin Haoran, and he happened to understand Hunan dialect, and he once lived with a Hunan girl for half a year.

"You? …… Don't talk nonsense, beware of the misfortune that comes out of your mouth! The scribe saw that the other party was just a sixth-rank official, and immediately glared at the young official with a threatening gaze.

He felt that today was extremely evil, and usually those fourth-grade officials were polite to him, but today a seventh-grade sesame official made a move with him, and then a small sixth-grade official dared to run out against him.

Syllable!

But no one expected that Lin Haoran suddenly raised his hand and slapped the scribe, and immediately scolded angrily: "You are just a scribe, and you can't do it again?" It's okay to insult the officials of the imperial court, and dare to threaten the officials, do you want to find death? ”

Ay!

The officials next to him looked at it and shook their heads helplessly. This scribe is really arrogant, and he doesn't look at who the other party is, can he threaten the Hanlin waiter? What's more, everyone is about to become the son-in-law of the Ministry of Rites, and even the Ministry of Officials has to respect him for three points.

The scribe was awakened by the slap and even more frightened by his words. This charge of insulting the imperial court officials is unaffordable, although his power is not small, but he is not an official.

In addition, he also reacted, it is true that this young man is a small six-rank official, but the other party seems to be a Hanlin official, who is the most promising Wen Kuijun of the Ming Dynasty.

"If you want to sue him, I can testify for you." Lin Haoran looked up at Lei Changjiang and said in Hunan dialect.

The scribe was so frightened at this time that his soul was lost, and with Lin Haoran testifying, where did he have room for quibble, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The little one is wrong, you have a lot of adults, just spare the villain!" ”

But I don't know if I was scared, or I knocked on my head, and tears immediately flowed.

"Forget it, I taught him a lesson, and I'm already angry!" Lei Changjiang shook his head, and then arched his hand towards Lin Haoran and said, "Thank you Lin Xiu for helping." ”

Obviously, he also guessed Lin Haoran's identity, and the young man who could wear a six-grade official uniform in the entire Ming Dynasty was only Lin Haoran, the sixth-yuan Daming Wenkui.

"Master Lei, you're welcome!" Lin Haoran responded modestly.

He chose to make a move today, but he actually hid a selfish intention. This person was transferred to Guangdong to serve as Tongzhi, if he fell to Gaozhou Mansion as Ren Tongzhi, then his people might get some care and want to form this good fate.

"I'm not a master anymore!" Lei Guangming shook his head bitterly.

Similar to the Hanlin Temple, there is also competition here in the household department. Although he can't come back if he is not released from the outside, but someone like him who offends Shangguan is almost destined to have no chance with Hubu Shangshu, and his career is even more bleak.

"In fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing to go out, as long as you do your best, you can also benefit the people!" Lin Haoran looked at him honestly and said with a very confident expression.

Lei Changjiang smiled bitterly, but he immediately reacted and asked cautiously: "Lin Xiu, what ......are you doing when you come to the ministry?"

"Fortunately, with the emperor's grace, I am specially promoted to the Hanlin attendant!" Lin Haoran did not hide it, and arched in the direction of Xiyuan.

Lei Changjiang's mouth opened slightly, and he looked at the young man in front of him in great surprise.

He has worked hard for half his life to be the head of the seventh grade of the household department, and this young man is already the attendant of the sixth grade, even if he is released now, he is directly at the prefect level.

However, he had to admire that such a young and promising official would also eat in a straw hut.

The turmoil on this side subsided, the scribe was carried to the hospital, and the officers and soldiers of Shuntianfu also left.

The officials sent people out to call people in, and the status of the Hanlin officials was indeed transcendent. While those officials with four or five senses were still staring at each other, Lin Haoran and Gao Gong were the first to be called inside.

Following the same process last time, I went directly to the Wenxuan Qing Officials Division, and followed the staff to make another set of politeness.

Lin Haoran thought that there was no official robe to receive, but he unexpectedly received a new set of six-grade official robes, but he was not sure if this was a benefit for Hanlin officials or a customary practice.

Although he had been promoted to the rank of Hanlin Shilang, the Holy Decree did not mention that he should return to the Hanlin Temple to report, so he was also given the Wuyi Hall and continued to serve as Si Zhilang there.

It was only when he returned to the Wuyi Hall that Yan Ge Lao called him over.
