Wu Shigong walked on the way back to his new house, and he always felt a little as if his father-in-law Xue Lian couldn't wait to push himself to this position. His feeling is that there is nothing wrong with this, so urgently pushing his son-in-law to the position of acting commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division, Xue Lian does have many reasons, which can be summarized in the following three points:

First of all, Xue Lian couldn't drag it out anymore. It has been a full month since the explosion at Wang Gong's factory. As one of the most severely affected areas of the disaster, Nancheng's command was injured and could not be controlled. The deputy commander in charge of the worst disaster area in Nancheng was killed in the explosion. In fact, both positions have been vacant for a month. The Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division is now leaderless, and it really needs to arrange a helmsman immediately. Therefore, Xue Lian's arrangement was: first let his son-in-law Wu Shigong occupy the position of deputy commander. And let that commander keep his position, but recuperate at home with peace of mind, and also occupy this position. Then let his son-in-law Wu Shigong act as the conductor first. After his son-in-law Wu Shigong is familiar with the situation of the Terracotta Division, let the recuperating commander get out. At that time, his son-in-law Wu Shigong will be able to logically ascend to the position of command. This idea is very good, but Xue Lian can't delay it indefinitely, he has to give an explanation to the military department. A month ago, it can be said that Xue Lian's son-in-law was not able to take office for the time being because he was going to participate in the wedding. But now that they are married, they can't ask their son-in-law to come back to office after their honeymoon.

Secondly, Xue Lian really needs the help of the Terracotta Division. Xue Lian now has no money and no one, and the disaster relief work cannot be carried out at all. If his son-in-law sits in the position of acting commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division, even if he no longer has any ability, he will not be able to fully control the situation of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division; Even if the business of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division is busy, the manpower is tight. At his own request, he was always able to squeeze out some manpower from the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division to alleviate his urgent needs and carry out some disaster relief work.

In fact, the first two reasons are not the most important. Xue Lian has this self-confidence and the ability to drag his son-in-law's appointment for another seven or eight days. At that time, the manpower to assist his son-in-law can be arranged, and he can also greet the backers of the leaders of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division, basically straighten out the relationship between the Soldiers and Horses Division, and then send the son-in-law to take office in a stable manner. But now a more important problem has arisen.

That is, the need of politics. Xue Lian needs his son-in-law Wu Shigong to take office immediately. In fact, aside from objective reasons, Xue Lian also knew that his disaster relief work was a mess. In the previous month, several imperial histories had written several books to impeach Xue Lian for Xue Lian's poor disaster relief, but they all pressed Wei Zhongxian. But yesterday, Wei Zhongxian called Xue Lian and personally inquired about the progress of the disaster relief and explained the reason to Xue Lian. It turned out that Wei Zhongxian learned from Dongchang that in the past few days, the civil officials were actively running around, wanting to launch a big storm, and to take advantage of the lack of disaster relief to carry out a fierce attack on Xue Lian, the commander-in-chief of the disaster relief, and Wei Zhongxian, the commander-in-chief of the disaster relief, and his general backstage, striving to knock them to the ground and step on 10,000 feet. Xue Lian was not afraid of this storm, because it was not the first time that he had been attacked by civil officials, and he was not worried that Wei Zhongxian and his position would be shaken by this, because as long as they gained the trust of the emperor, then their position would be as stable as Mount Tai. However, they also have to give the emperor a reason to get by! Xue Lian adopted a bitter plan with no merit and hard work. Look at it, Xue Lian soaks in the disaster scene every day, leaving early and returning late, isn't that hard? Look at it, Xue Lian was drunk on the night of her daughter's marriage, but she called a meeting of officials the next morning, isn't that hard? You see, Xue Lian let his son-in-law take office on the fourth day of his son-in-law's marriage, and he went into battle with his son-in-law and rushed to the front line of disaster relief with his son-in-law, isn't it hard? This is definitely a reason to get by for the emperor.

Based on the above reasons, Xue Lian hurriedly let Wu Shigong take office.

Of course, Wu Shigong felt that his father-in-law Xue Lian's behavior was abnormal, so he was a little worried about his father-in-law. However, he did not expect that a big chessboard had been set up in the court, and the two sides of the civil official group, the eunuchs, and the Xungui group would fight to the death on this chessboard. He didn't even expect that he had unknowingly become a pawn on this chessboard. Even his little worry about his father-in-law was quickly drowned in the great joy of his official position.

Wu Shigong walked up the steps of the gate of the small courtyard where he lived, walked to the top of the gate, and looked in the direction of the sun. After crossing over, more than half a month has passed, even after the most important process in his life, marriage, Wu Shigong's identity is basically a soy sauce party. Spend every day peacefully, don't think about tomorrow's things, and don't think about the day after tomorrow. From today, he has a goal in life, and he will start a new life course. This is also the real reality of his crossing, the first day of the second life. He opened his arms and let out a loud cry in the direction of the sun, just like the cry he let out after going out to fight with thugs who were several years older than him for the first time in his previous life, and beating each other to the ground. But he didn't know that his future life journey would be so wonderful for the reader; For himself, it's sweet and sour, and there are all kinds of tastes. He didn't know that if he embarked on his own journey in life, he would never be able to look back. If he knew all this, he would immediately teleport to his room and quickly throw the official seals and robes into the toilet bowl that the two maids were fighting for. Then shrink in your own room and be a happy soy sauce who enjoys a stable life, hugs his wife every day, and flirts with the maid.

Wu Shigong was full of confidence, turned around and stepped down the steps to take the first step, and walked towards his new house full of energy. This is a small step for him personally, but for the author, it is a big step. Because what makes the author extremely proud is that the author has managed to get so many smart readers to read more than 50,000 words (just kidding, liven up the atmosphere. But a small spoiler, strictly speaking, the excitement of Wu Shigong's life can only be truly unfolded when the second volume leaves the capital, and the first volume can only be said to be a super-large preface).

Wu Shigong entered the room and saw official seals, official robes and official boots on the table in the room. Wu Shigong picked up the official seal, looked at it over and over again with relish, and looked at the official seal that was not half a palm, Wu Shigong thought: What is this? That's what I like most in my life!

The official seal and official robe were sent by Xue Qiang and a person named Xue Yong. Hearing Zhu Yun on the side say that the two of them were still waiting outside the courtyard, Wu Shigong couldn't care about vomiting with Xue Qiang, walked out of the courtyard again, found the two of them, and shamelessly asked the two of them the questions in their hearts. And first of all, I finally figured out one thing, acting is the meaning of agency.

After listening to Xue Qiang and Xue Yong's introductions, he learned that the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division was injured, so although he is now a deputy commander, he temporarily acts as the commander. This official seal was also temporarily owned by himself during his own agency. Regardless of whether you are temporary or not, it is also a number one! The so-called is: as long as there is a good father-in-law, who will suffer from that study? Wu Shigong sighed in his heart: I really have a haode marriage!

However, for the rest, Xue Qiang and the two of them can't say anything, Xue Qiang is Xue Lian's own soldier, and they are not unfamiliar with the Soldiers and Horses Command Division, but they are not familiar with it. It is only known that the Soldiers and Horses Command Division mainly does some work such as catching thieves, extinguishing fires, maintaining law and order, and guarding the city gates. Guarding the city gate does not talk about it (in fact, here, Wu Shigong made the mistake of empiricism again, in the Ming Dynasty, guarding the city gate was the most important and the most oily job). His role is the same as that of the current Nancheng Public Security Bureau and Fire Chief (temporary, of course). Unexpectedly, with this crossing, my ** boss will be whitewashed from black.

Since they couldn't ask anything more, Wu Shigong asked them to go back first. Suddenly, he remembered something, returned to the house, took out a hundred taels of silver from his box, handed it to the two of them, and asked Xue Qiang to lead the way and send the silver to Sun Chengxiu. In the past few days, I have been so busy that I almost forgot about it, don't starve my good friends to death.

Wu Shigong returned to the house and picked up the official seal again, never getting tired of it. Xue Yufei, who was sitting next to him, felt very funny when he looked at him holding the official seal. Wu Shigong saw his wife sitting beside him and smiled playfully, and asked Xue Yufei with a smile: "Does Fei'er know what the Soldiers and Horses Command Division does?" ”

After listening to Wu Shigong's question, Xue Yufei put away his smile and replied seriously: "I don't know about the concubine, but the concubine has a relative who is the deputy commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division." If the husband wants to ask, the concubine can find him. ”

This made Wu Shigong interested, but then I learned that the relative was the second uncle of Xue Yufei's cousin-in-law, and this relationship was too far away. Besides, I'm going to take office tomorrow, where to find my cousin-in-law's second uncle in this short time? There is no big brother in this era. However, it's better to keep this thread, maybe you will use it in the future. After thanking Xue Yufei, Wu Shigong still decided to ask Master Zhang. But Master Zhang had already gone out with Xue Lian again. So, Wu Shigong called Shumo and asked him to keep an eye on it, and if Master Zhang came back, he would tell him. Shumo has been idle for the past two days, and he is afraid that his young master will abandon him, so he stays in his room like a resentful woman and is uneasy, and after listening to the young master's instructions, he quickly accepted this task happily.

But until after dinner, Shumo reported that Master Zhang did not come back. Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow when I take office. That night, Wu Shigong was very excited, and he and Xue Yufei had a crazy third night. The next day, Xue Yufei couldn't get out of bed. The right color, the right color, these two words are really inseparable.

Early in the morning, Wu Shigong, who was full of interest, wore an official robe and went out with the official seal in his arms. Before leaving, Xue Yufei gently stuffed his purse into Wu Shigong's arms. Zhu Yun said to Wu Shigong on the side: "What my uncle ordered, the address of the shop, the slave and maid have copied it, and put it in the purse." Xiuzhu on the side was angry in his heart, wasn't I serving last night? Zhuyun, you came so early, and the ugly appearance of competing for favor really made my aunt and grandmother despise it.

Xue Qiang and Xue Yong had already been waiting at the door with their horses, and Wu Shigong suddenly found that Shumo was also shrunk aside and waiting. Wu Shigong asked Shumo strangely: "Why are you here?" ”

Shumo replied cautiously: "The little one is the young master's personal servant." The young master has to be served as an official. While talking, Shumo looked at Wu Shigong's face, for fear that he would be unhappy.

There weren't many more of him, Wu Shigong got on his horse and waved his hand, letting Shumo follow. Xue Qiang gave up a position and rode on a horse with Shumo. As soon as the horse started, Wu Shigong did not grasp the center of gravity well, and he almost fell off the horse. Wu Shigong didn't know how to ride a horse at all, and the reason why he didn't have a situation on the wedding day was because Xue Qiang was walking slowly with the horse. Fortunately, Wu Shigong's skills are not bad, and he slowly mastered the trick of riding a horse, and the horse was able to trot.

The Xue Mansion was not far from the Yamen of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division, and within a quarter of an hour, they arrived. But in such a short period of time, Wu Shigong was already sweating profusely because of the stimulation of this horse. At the door, all the officials of more than 100 households had arrived, and when they saw Wu Shigong's arrival, they all stepped forward to greet them.

After Wu Shigong returned the salute, everyone welcomed him into the door, walked through the school grounds, and they welcomed Wu Shigong to the lobby. Wu Shigong sat down behind the big case in the middle of the lobby, put the official seal on the big case, picked up the roster on the side, and began to point out in style. Originally, Wu Shigong didn't know that there was such a rule, but this was what Xue Yong told him yesterday. Wu Shigong decently put the three deputy commanders, one official and fifteen hundred households one by one, and everyone arrived.

Wu Shigong was very satisfied, put down the roster and prepared to make an enthusiastic speech next, but at this moment, a hundred households at the bottom suddenly said: "Commander Wu, the order is also finished." It's not too early now, the brothers are going to work. ”

There are thorns! But before Wu Shigong could figure out the situation, Ruan Xiong said in a hurry: "Business is important, then let's disperse." ”

Hearing this, without waiting for Wu Shigong to react, all the officials dispersed in a hurry, Zhou Shikun hesitated, glanced at Wu Shigong, and left the lobby. Now in the lobby, except for Wu Shigong and the four of them, the official surnamed Xu is left. Wu Shigong looked at the three people he brought, Xue Qiang was sneering, looking lively; Xue Yong is an old god who doesn't know what he's thinking; Shumo has the best attitude, and his face is swollen red with anger, but he is also the most useless, and he is useless.

Wu Shigong suppressed his anger again, and turned to look at the Xu Yanmu, who was in his forties, thin, with a goatee, and a little cringe in the face of his gaze. Wu Shigong was so angry that he laughed instead, and said to Xu Yanmu: "Could it be that this is the legendary dismount? "There was silence in the lobby.

Everyone didn't expect that after that, Wu Shigong, who came to make soy sauce, would bring such a huge change to the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division.
