Lin Jian has never been accustomed to the life of smelling chickens in this era, and he always has to cover his head and sleep until dawn every day before getting up to wash and practice knives, and then deal with daily chores.

On the 19th, after the rooster crowed, a faint blue light appeared outside the window paper, and Lin Jian heard the knock on the door in his sleep, and Liu Yue'er called him softly outside. Lin Lian answered in a daze, and heard a "squeak", Liu Yue'er pushed the door in, the light in the room was very dark, and he saw Liu Yue'er groping there to find the fire sickle and light the lamp.

"What time is it?" Lin Jian got up and asked Liu Yue'er.

"The rooster is crowing all over the place, it's almost time...... Liu Yue'er walked over with a candlestick burning with bean flames, and put it on the corner stool next to Lin Bin's bed, a little afraid to look at Lin Bin's sturdy upper body exposed to the cold air, and said, "It's time for Gongzi to get up, today is your first day as a new official." "I thought to myself, Childe looks weak, his face is thin, but his body is very strong.

Lin Jian then remembered that he had to go to the Yamen of the Inspectorate Department before going to Jiangdao Prison to perform his duties today.

In this era, there is no routine of 9 to 5 in the morning, not to mention that most of the countrymen will get up when they smell the chicken, and the shopkeepers and men in the shops and workshops must also prepare to open the door before dawn to welcome customers, and the officials also need to report to the yamen at the end of the day, and change to the timekeeping method of later generations, that is, to go to the yamen official office before seven o'clock in the morning to report for duty.

Although he realized this, the drowsiness that was just stuck in his mind could not be eliminated, and Lin Jian reached out to get his clothes and pants and almost touched the candlestick on the corner stool.

"Childe will go to the Yamen of the Inspectorate to wear official clothes later, and he can't go back to change his clothes in the afternoon......" Liu Yue'er wanted to serve Lin Tie to get dressed, seeing that he was shirtless, a little unable to let go, turned around and held the official clothes neatly stacked on the triangular side table in his hand, first watched Lin Tie sit on the edge of the bed and put on the inner jacket, and then handed him the cyan official uniform, seeing that he was clumsy in clothes, and couldn't help but go up to tidy up the collar for him......

Lin Jian washed, practiced a knife in the courtyard, and waited until the sky was a little brighter to see the scenery in the corner of the courtyard, then had breakfast, and rode with Zhao Hu to the Inspectorate.

At the yamen, it happened that Gu Wuchen also took a carriage to escort Yang Shi, Ma Chao and others to the yamen.

"That's right, you go with me first, and when Master Jia comes over, I'll take you to see Lord Jia and all of you......" Gu Wuchen got out of the car and eagerly beckoned Lin Jian to go with him.

In fact, Lin Lian's appointment as the head of Jiangdao Prison was just a small civil servant from the ninth grade, and he had just entered the stream. Logically speaking, in addition to the inspector Jia Pengyu and the ministers, Lin Jian had to first visit the officials in the yamen who were slightly higher than him, such as Zhaomo and experience; In addition to the official affairs, if you want to meet with other officials of the five grades, you must also report it first and wait patiently for the summons.

The so-called pulling the tiger skin to fill the banner, although he usually gets along with his colleagues to be humble and peaceful, and abide by the rules, at this time, Gu Wuchen wants to directly pull him to see Jia Pengyu, Lin Jian naturally will no longer stick to that set of old rules, said hello, and walked with Gu Wuchen to his yard.

According to the old rules, when Lin Jian first entered the office, he could not directly go to Jiangdao Prison to perform his duties, and after taking up his post according to the Inspectorate Department, he needed to have a process of probation and ministry assessment, and the cycle could be long or short, as short as three or five months, or as long as one or two years, and he might not be able to officially take office.

Gu Wuchen wanted to write a letter as soon as possible to ask the imperial court to allow Jiangdong to reopen the prison city, and there was not much time for Jia Pengyu and the others to delay, according to his wishes, he naturally hoped that Lin Jian could directly take over Jiangdao Prison, and "Prison Book" just provided him with an excellent excuse.

couldn't wait for Zhengyetang to engrave the "Prison Book", Gu Wuchen asked people to copy another copy and send it to the desk of Jia Pengyu, the envoy; Jia Pengyu didn't want to go against Gu Wuchen in the first place, as long as Gu Wuchen came up with a reason, he naturally abandoned the old rules and didn't stop Lin Jian from going directly to take over Jiangdao Prison, even if there was any basket to come out in the future, Gu Wuchen would have a lot to bear. Besides, the people in Jiangdao Prison are all poor ghosts, how big a basket can they make?

First followed Gu Wuchen to meet Jia Pengyu, and Lin Jian was taken by Yang Shi to meet the officials on duty in the yamen today.

Zheng Wupin's status is slightly lower than that of the procurator and deputy envoy, and there are officials promoted by the criminal department system, and some are from the metropolitan procuratorate system, all of whom are officials sent by Beijing, and only officials from Guozixue and Jinshi can be appointed. In many prefectures and towns, for the convenience of the governor to rule the local area or command military operations, it is usually necessary to use the prefect official post to add the rank of cha to the rank of cha fu or the rank of cavalry lieutenant to show the centralization of power, and it is easier to assign the post of cha fu to the local area to preside over the overall situation than the promotion of other officials.

Lin Tie rescued the aunt and sister-in-law of the luxury family and sent it to the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, all the officials in the Yamen have seen him, what is his relationship with Gu Wuchen and what he caused in Jiangning during this time, according to the Inspector Envoy Division, there are few people in the Yamen who are not clear, naturally they will not look down on him because Lin Tie is just a prison officer from the Jiupin Division, Lin Tie came to visit, and they were all very polite.

Xiao Xuanchou, the official who governs the Jiangdao Prison and the Chengzhong Prison according to the Inspectorate and the Jiangdong Prefecture and County Prison, and the prison affairs are regarded as the top boss of Lin Bin, he has been in the officialdom for nearly 20 years, and has no background, but the Jinshi fame in the 12th year of the Shangyuan Dynasty also made him smoothly rise to the high position of the Zhengwupin according to the inspection of the affairs, he has no other self-motivation, and only thinks about which rich place to go to the camp to mix with the prefect to hold some silver for the elderly.

Twenty years of officialdom has made Xiao Xuanchou a full official, he knows that the Chu Party is gaining power in the court, so he spends a lot of effort to curry favor with Gu Wuchen, and usually has no frame at all to call Lin Xuan, Ma Chao, Yang Pu and others brothers, first watched Yang Shi come into the room, and greeted him affectionately: "Why is Yang Xian's nephew free to come to my room today?" He watched Lin Tie enter the door again, and hurriedly stood up from behind the bookcase, "Lin ...... Ah, in the future, you and I will be colleagues, and I should call you Lord Lin. ”

"The adults are joking with Lin Xuanchou," Lin Lian saw that Xiao Xuanchou was smiling on his face, but he still had to abide by the rules that should be kept, and gave Xiao Xuanluo a salute, "Lin Lian came over and heard the adult's command. ”

"What is not ordered, isn't it just a discussion among colleagues to get things done?" Xiao Xuanchou came over and grabbed Lin Xuan's shoulders and said, "If you want to give orders, let's go and listen to Lord Gu's orders together......

What are Gu Wuchen's expectations for Lin Jian to take over the Jiangdao Prison, he usually talks about it in detail in the house, and it is just a routine matter to go to the yamen to give instructions.

Before noon, Lin Jian visited around in the yamen of the inspection department and officially got acquainted with his colleagues in the yamen. At noon, he spent twenty taels of his son on four tables in the Hui Pavilion to feast on the Yamen, and invited his colleagues and colleagues to the Yamen to help the secretary and his subordinates who were acting in charge of official business. In the afternoon, Lin Lianhui listened to Gu Wuchen's instructions from the Yamen, and Xiao Xuanchou personally ordered a team of military guards to be sent to Jinchuan Island outside the mouth of the Jinchuan River to take up his post.

Lin Jian has been to the mouth of the Jinchuan River several times, but he only looks at Jinchuan Island from a distance, and has not been on the island.

In early spring, the river is clear and shallow, and the Jinchuan Island that is exposed to the water is only three miles away. The north side of the island is a relatively steep shore, there is no ferry at the mouth of the Jinchuan River, Lin Jian and Xiao Xuanchou go out of Donghua Gate to the Jiuwengqiao Wharf and abandon their horses to take a boat, and drive more than ten miles of waterway along the Jinchuan River to the north, before going out of the estuary and entering the sky and swinging on Jinchuan Island.

Ge Zuxin, the former prison officer of Jiangdao Prison, several jailers and military guards saw the official ships at the Jiuwengqiao ferry approaching, and rushed to the simple dock on the north bank to wait for them.

It was also Xiao Xuanchou who was afraid that he would not be able to return to the city before dark, so he sent Lin Jian to the island, so he was in a hurry to return.

It is said that Ge Zuxin, the former prison officer, should stay on the island for a few more days, and leave the island after the handover with Lin Jian is clear. It's just that after Ge Zuxin resigned, he went back to his hometown directly to support the elderly, and there was no need to curry favor with anyone, maybe there were some people with ulterior motives to provoke, he and Lin Jian only made a simple handover, Xiao Xuanchou got on the boat and left the island, and he also took the old servant to pick up the bags that had been packed a long time ago to get on the boat.

Ge Zuxin, who was born as a human being, spent a lot of money nine years ago to make up for the shortage of the prison officer of the Jiangdao Prison, thinking that this was comparable to the fat shortage of the prison in the city according to the Inspectorate Division, where did he think that the Jiangning Criminal Department, the Jiangning Mansion and the Jiangdong Prison City Proposal jointly requested by the Inspectorate Department would be categorically vetoed by the center? In the past few years, the people who have been sent to Jiangdao Prison are all poor ghosts who have no money to launder their crimes, these poor ghosts covet the island and can eat two meals, open the prison door so that they can't escape, and how many coppers can be looted? However, the Jiangdao prison is facing the sky, and the responsibility of guarding against bandits and thieves is particularly serious, and there have been some problems in the past few years, but in the end, according to the Inspector's Department, he is sympathetic to the difficulties here and has not pursued the responsibility.

Ge Zuxin was full of regret and resentment, and he couldn't wait to leave this ghost place one day earlier, after Lin Tie went to the island, he didn't want to stay for a moment, crying and begging Xiao Xuanchou to allow him to leave the island today, Xiao Xuanchou sympathized with him for his hard work over the years, although he was a little more heartfelt, seeing that Lin Tie had no opinions, he took him to leave the island by boat.

Lin Jian and Zhao Hu stood in front of the humble dock, watching Xiao Xuanchou's official boat sail into the mouth of the Jinchuan River, before turning around, looking at the group of prison officials and team leaders standing behind them, and arched their hands and said: "In the future, Lin Jian will be in the same boat with you - I am new to the prison, and I am not very familiar with the affairs of the prison, so let's first perform our duties according to the old rules, if something goes wrong, I can't escape, and you can't carry it out...... It's getting late today, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning. Anyway, regardless of the fact that the sun was hanging in mid-air and there was still a long time before it got dark, he walked straight to the high gate directly west of the prison.

Although Jiangdao Prison is only more than ten miles away from Jiangning City, it is suspended outside the city, and if it is not necessary, the jailers and jailers rarely leave the island, and only when the yamen send prisoners over can they have the opportunity to deal with the outside world, and these people do not know what the origin of this new young boss is.

These jailers and squad leaders couldn't figure out the temper of the new boss, and they didn't make much noise, and when they heard the new boss say that everything was business as usual, they followed him back to the prison.
