Take a Door with You

Laughing and laughing.

That's bad.

"Mr. Duan, I'm Lei Meng, I'm taking the liberty to visit, and I'm still looking at Haihan."

Cao Xin was serving tea and sizing up the visitor.

A total of two people came.

The leader called himself 'Lei Meng', and there were 'Lei' and 'Meng' in his name, but he actually looked like a handsome scholar, with a fair face and handsome, sword-browed and star-eyed eyes.

Wearing an embroidered dress, he is quite dignified.

The other seemed to be reckless, and he cupped his hands at Duan Chong and said, "Brother Duan, don't come here without any harm."

Cao Xin didn't know this person, but it seemed that this person and Duan Chong were old acquaintances.

"Brother Chen is not in the Caishui Gang to enjoy the blessings, so what advice can I give you?"

Duan Chong frowned and couldn't help sighing.

As soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, he couldn't help himself.

He went down the mountain last year, intending to find a place to live in seclusion, in order to further improve the 'Storm Sword', this life is worthwhile.

As a result, they encountered the enemy halfway, and the couple were severely injured. They had no choice but to enter Xijing City to seek medical treatment and recuperate. They only made plans after their injuries recovered.

After a few months, I feel that "the big hermit is hidden in the city" is not bad.

But who would have imagined that the cheap disciple who was originally accepted for money is actually a piece of rough jade with excellent character and aptitude, and he is willing to inherit the mantle.

Think about it a few times.

Really satisfied.

Therefore, Duan Chong made an exception and went to the Caishui Gang at the end of last year. He had a good chat with the leader of the Caishui Gang and several deputy leaders, and was able to remove Cao Ren's name from the list.

At that time, it was already expected that the tree's desire to be calm and the wind might not stop.

as expected.

Only two months later, trouble was already at the door.

This 'Brother Chen', named 'Chen Biao', is one of the three vice-leaders of the Caishui Gang, known as 'Night Fighting Bafang'. Extremely unique. Its movements are light and flexible, natural and elegant, flashing and moving, combining urgency and urgency, turning and twisting, unpredictable.

He can be regarded as the number one figure in the Jianghu of Xijing.

Come to the door today, I'm afraid nothing good will happen.

...

"This is a good thing!"

Cao Xin took the initiative to take the job of serving tea and water, and listened quietly. After a short time, he got to know the identities of 'Lei Meng' and 'Chen Biao', and guessed about their intentions. a joy.

These two people—

The latter one is the deputy leader of the Caishui gang, whose fame, power, and force can rank first in the entire Xijing Jianghu.

But in comparison, the previous one has a bigger background.

"Lei is in charge of the Embroidery Division. This time, he was ordered to enter Xijing City to build the Xijing Department. It is time to recruit talents. I wonder if Mr. Duan would like to join my Embroidery Division?"

Lei Meng's eyes are sincere.

Embroidery Division!

Tut tut!

Cao Xin has learned a lot about this yamen recently——

Without him!

Professional counterpart!

The "Embroidery Division" was first built in the former dynasty, and it was a yamen specializing in dealing with Jianghu affairs.

It was abolished after the founding of the Liang Dynasty, and the functional affairs were merged into the 'Jinyiwei'. But the more important duties of the "Jinyiwei" are to be ordered to "restrain adultery", "cure prisons", "catch robbers", and supervise officials, relatives, extravagance, over-control, and illegal things.

Responsibilities are too broad, biased towards officialdom.

Therefore, it is inevitable to neglect and not pay enough attention to all things in the world. However, in recent years, the world has been turbulent, and there have been frequent disturbances in the world.

Therefore, in the first year of Qianyou, the emperor's uncle "Lu Yu" proposed to re-establish the "Embroidery Department", and then took the "Tiju Embroidery Department" by himself, and began to recruit talents and monitor the world.

If it is said that the warriors of "Xia Yi Wu Violate the Ban" are mice, then the "Embroidered Clothes Messenger" of the "Embroidered Clothes Department" is a cat.

Cao Xin repeatedly committed major crimes in Xijing City, and he was the key target of the "Embroidered Clothes Division".

Isn't it a 'professional counterpart'!

"Hey!"

Cao confidently chuckled, not afraid at all.

In the past two years, the "Embroidered Clothes Division" focused its energy on the North and East Beijing. From these two places, it gradually penetrated into the north and east of Daliang.

Wait until this year, that is, the fourth year of Qianyou.

The Embroidery Department finally freed up and dispatched people to the three capitals of central, southern and western China. It was necessary to fully spread out and monitor the entire Daliang Jianghu.

And Lei Meng and others are the first batch of "Embroidery Envoys" of the Xijing Department of the Embroidery Department.

The Xijing Department was founded.

Business development is secondary, and the focus is on recruiting talents.

For example Lei Meng.

The Caishui gang he went to first recruited the deputy gang leader Chen Biao. I also learned from Chen Biao about the mysterious and high-level attack of "in the field".

That's why it happened today.

The 'Xijing Department', which is still in the stage of recruiting troops, has nothing to fear.

Even with Cao Xin's modus operandi, even if the "Xijing Department" is completed, there is nothing he can do about it.

Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, and catch the adulterer and the double.

Can't stop it.

Can't catch it.

What's there to be afraid of?

Cao Xin turned around in his mind, he was not worried about the Embroidery Department's setting foot in Xijing City, but he already knew the purpose and reason of Lei Meng's visit.

If you get to the bottom of it, the root actually lies in him.

"If I hadn't asked my elder brother to change martial arts gyms frequently, I wouldn't have been able to go to Huanglong martial arts hall and meet Uncle Duan. If I hadn't had 'insight' and persuaded elder brother to use money to open the way, I wouldn't have been able to learn from a teacher, let alone be valued by Uncle Duan. .”

"Later, I was the one who urged Uncle Duan to help elder brother get away from Cai Shui Gang."

This is just great.

Cao Ren did escape.

Duan Chong was entangled.

Although Cao Xin thought it was a good thing that the Embroidery Department came to solicit, but Duan Chong didn't think so!

...

"Mr. Duan, please stop by. Lei will visit again in a few days."

After three rounds of tea, Lei Meng and Chen Biao left.

"The jailer came to solicit in person, but Duan Chong deliberately evaded it with words, so he didn't know how to flatter him!"

On the way, Chen Biao speaks ill of people openly.

"Brother Chen is serious."

"People in Jianghu are used to being undisciplined, and have always looked down on the court's laws and regulations. They regard us as the court's eagle dogs. Mr. Duan's scruples and reluctance to join the Xijing Office are understandable." Lei Meng laughed.

"If he agrees, he will immediately be the official recorder of the Embroidery Department, which is one level higher than the head arrester of a county, and is equivalent to the six-room pawn, and the next step is the official status-from the nine-rank embroidery department. "

"Ah!"

"The recklessness of the rivers and lakes is ultimately shallow-sighted, timid, and not on the stage!"

Chen Biao said carelessly.

He had been marketing outspoken characters before, so what he said in front of Lei Meng would not be too vague.

But this is the surface.

In fact, how could Chen Biao be so outspoken when he was able to sit on the deputy head of the Cai Shui Gang?

If you are not careful, you will die early!

What he said at this time seemed to belittle Duan Chong and give Duan Chong eye drops, but he was actually showing his loyalty to Lei Meng and expressing that he was very satisfied with the current treatment.

Just like Lei Meng's 'offer' to Duan Chong just now, Chen Biao joined the Embroidery Department and entered the Xijing Department, starting from the 'Great Seal Recorder'.

This is not an official, but a petty official.

But further up, from the ninth rank "Iron Talisman Envoy", he was first awarded as "Embroidered Clothes Secretary" and then "Embroidered Clothes Prison", which is more than a patrol inspection.

For example, Lei Meng, who entered the job two years ago as an 'Embroidered Clothes Recorder', was originally granted the title of 'Small Seal Recorder' and then 'Dayin Recorder'. Lei Meng is good at martial arts, and the key point is that he has a good background , has a background, so the opening is 'Dayin Records'.

In just two years, he has been promoted to 'Embroidered Clothes Prison', from a ninth-rank official.

Once you go a step further, you will be the 'Bronze Talisman Messenger', a ninth-rank official, comparable to the county magistrate of a small county, with a glorious ancestor.

It is rare for Daliang to be an official. If he is a subordinate official, the limit of his life is to go through the nine-rank inspection. For example, Guo Sheng's second uncle, who has been running the yamen all his life, has made a lot of credit on paper, and he didn't know how much money he spent in private.

But at this point, Uncle Guo's official career stopped.

Because of his background, there was no possibility of further progress.

If a warrior wants to be an official, he will risk his life on the battlefield and escape from death. This is a way. But relying on bravery, if you want to become a small officer, you can be a ninth-rank or eighth-rank military general. If you want to go up, you have to be familiar with military books, both civil and military, which is difficult for ordinary warriors.

The other is Uncle Guo's way.

Starting from catching fast and catching heads, he has worked hard all his life, and with credit and money, he is expected to get the post of patrol inspector, and he has the status of a ninth-rank official.

Equally tough.

But today is different.

In addition to the above two roads, the "Embroidered Clothes Division" is the newly opened third official road——

Lux handyman.

Youxing scribe.

Embroidered clothes record things: small seal, big seal.

Iron Talisman Messenger: Si Wu, Prison Manager.

Bronze Talisman Messenger: Calibration and grinding.

...

Step by step, there are traces to follow.

If you can achieve the ultimate in the Embroidery Department——

The deputy of the left and right divisions is Cong Wupin, comparable to a provincial official.

Embroidered clothes are promoted to the third rank, this is the big boss of the court.

In the past, it was extremely difficult for warriors to achieve this position, and the difficulty was that there was no way.

Now I finally have a real goal.

This is the main reason why Chen Biao is willing to join the Embroidery Department.

At the same time, it is also the pursuit of a person with a background like Lei Meng.
