Yao Dong was transferred to the arrest department, and although no one was appointed to the general position, rumors leaked out that Director Lin had long planned to use someone he planned to bring over to take over. This caused a lot of confusion within the execution room about the general position.
The speculation gradually subsided.
As Lin Haoming stayed in the execution room for a long time, some things gradually became clear, and at this time, Cui Changting finally arrived.
When the city lord arrives, the city magistrate, supervisors, magistrates on the left and right, and the officials of the six houses all come out to greet him.
When the news came that he was about to arrive, Fang Ruhai, who was the general judge, had already summoned officials at all levels in Dithi City to discuss the reception. It was finally decided that Yan Shang, the chief minister of the Li house, would lead the officials of the Li house and go thirty miles out of the city to greet him.
The remaining officials met at the east gate.
Although Lin Haoming didn't like Cui Changting, the rules were such that he could only go to the east gate with others to wait for the Lord of the City.
Perhaps because the new city lord is also one of his own, Fang Ruhai seemed quite proud, talking to the people around him from time to time, while Xiang Xuehai stood silently, as if he was the only one in the noisy east gate at this time.
Normally, without any distractions.
Because Lin Haoming had just arrived, and what he had done before, Xiao Ming's old team didn't know how to deal with it, so he was alone and seemed a little lonely.
After standing for a while, Song Ting, the right comrade, said a few words to Shan Dongliang, the head of the workshop. When he walked past Lin Haoming, he suddenly stopped and said: "Mr. Lin, Xinrou is working in the torture room, no.
I know if I am still competent, and if there are any deficiencies, please give me some pointers, Mr. Lin."
"I'm sorry for you, Sir. Mai is a rare talent who works steadily and meticulously. After being sent to the execution chamber, he can become familiar with the operation as soon as possible. Mai has also done a lot of things." Lin Haoming replied politely.
"That's good, that's good!" Song Ting listened, nodded with a smile, and then left.
Lin Haoming watched Song Ting leave and thought about what he just said. Obviously this should be a test by the Tongzhi master, and it also seemed to indicate that there should be opportunities for cooperation between the two parties.
Of course, this hint is nothing. After all, Cui Changting just arrived today. How everything will really turn out depends on what happens after he takes office.
At this time, the sound of a large convoy of carriages could be heard outside the city. Looking from the door, without using any magical powers, one could see a convoy hundreds of feet long heading towards the city gate in a hurry.
Leading the way was Yan Shang, the official in charge of the official house in Dithief City. There was a rather luxurious car not far behind, and Cui Changting was probably in the car.
When Cui Changting married Qiniang, he was just an official in Dishuang City. From the seventh rank, after so many years, he did not expect that he has become the city lord of the fifth rank. Moreover, the rank of the city lord of Dishuang City is higher than that of Yun Ze before.
The city lord of Dishang City is half a rank higher. Although Cui Changting is not very good as a person, he is really capable as an official.
A fifth-grade official can bless one wife and two concubines. If Qiniang had not been abandoned back then, would she have received the blessing of the heavenly seal now? Of course, because now she and Gong Xinlan have a marriage contract bound by the law of heaven, so
She does not need her own blessings, but because she does not have a wife, Shu Siyue and Qiniang have received the blessings of her heavenly seal. Is this also God's will?
Thinking of this, the door of the carriage opened, but the person who left first was not Cui Changting, but a woman. Then, Cui Changting got out of the car this time, and actually got out of the car with a cloak in his hand.
Afterwards, he did not go to the waiting officials, but first put the cloak on the woman.
That woman, if she guessed correctly, her name was Wu Yue, she was the side branch woman of the Wu family, the head wife of Cui Changting who had wanted to kidnap Qiniang. Later, Jia Kai wrote a letter directly to Cui Changting.
After that, Cui Changting divorced her directly. With the support of the Wu family, the elder of the Cui family did not have the courage to stand up for his niece who had done something stupid. Cui Changting naturally immediately made Wu Yue his official wife.
"Master Cui is really caring for his wife. He is so talented and beautiful, so enviable!" Fang Ruhai took the lead in greeting her with a smile.
"Master Fang is joking." Cui Changting responded with a smile.
"There are so many people, I'm going back to the car!" Wu Yue, however, seemed to ignore Fang Ruhai at all. He gave Cui Changting his cloak again and got in the car again.
Cui Changting held the cloak and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Fortunately, at this time, an attendant ran over and took the cloak away smartly.
Lin Haoming looked at this scene and sneered in his heart. It seemed that this young lady from the Wu family was definitely not a good wife and mother. No wonder she forced his former head wife to resort to such cunning tactics as kidnapping Qiniang.
Fang Ruhai and Cui Changting knew each other, and he was a general judge. In the entire Dithief City, he was the fifth-rank official besides Cui Changting, so he naturally started the introduction.
Naturally, the first people to be introduced were Xiang Xuehai and Song Ting, both of whom were colleagues on the left and right. Although one was an old friend of Xiao Ming and the other was a representative of the local faction, at this moment, on the surface, they still welcomed the new appointee very politely.
The city lord arrived, and with Yan Shang accompanying him behind, it seemed quite harmonious.
Next came Ju Yehao, the left supervisor, and Deng Peng, the right supervisor. Although they were both Xiao Ming's old friends, at this time, they seemed more enthusiastic than Xiang Xuehai. Such performance made Lin Haoming frown slightly.
He frowned, obviously these two people may not be considered Xiao Ming's old team.
Of course, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that these two people probably also saw that Fang Ruhai will not be in Dithi City for a long time. Once he leaves, the possibility of the two people succeeding to the throne is naturally not impossible, and their relationship with the city lord seems to have changed.
It's quite important.
For their enthusiasm, Cui Changting was naturally smiling, and he obviously enjoyed the feeling of being complimented.
After them, there are Yang Yingcheng, the head of the household, and Yu Yanqing, the head of the household.
These two people can be said to be the direct descendants of Xiao Ming. According to Lin Haoming's understanding, among the two wives and concubines are women from the Xiao family. Although they are not Xiao Ming's direct children, they are also relatively close descendants. They want to get rid of Xiao Ming's
The influence is obviously much harder than that of the two inspectors. Now he greets Cui Changting politely and doesn't say much.
Cui Changting was obviously not unprepared. He generally understood the identity of the main officials in the city, but he didn't care much about it.
Next is Bao Wanchang, this person was originally promoted by Fang Ruhai. Although he didn't know Cui Changting before, he seemed quite dismissive when chatting with Cui Changting now.
After Cui Changting chatted with Bao Wanchang for a while, he patted him on the shoulder and ended with encouragement.
After him, it was finally Lin Haoming's turn, and Lin Haoming had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Watching him walking towards him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
