Yao Dong was transferred to the arrest department, and although no one took office in the communication position, there was a news that the chief officer Lin had long planned to take office with someone he was planning to bring over, which gradually calmed down the speculation of the communication position in the punishment room.

As Lin Haoming spent a long time in the torture room, some things gradually became clear, and at this moment, Cui Changting finally took office.

The city lord came to office, the city magistrate, the supervisor, the left and right magistrate and the sixth house chief, all came out to greet him.

When the news was about to arrive, Fang Ruhai, who was the judge, had already summoned officials at all levels in the Dizi City to discuss the greeting. Finally, he decided that Yan Shang, the head of the Lifang Office, would lead the Lifang officials to go out to the city to welcome him thirty miles away, and the rest of the officials would greet him at the east gate.

Although Lin Haoming didn't like Cui Changting, he had such rules, so he could only come to the east gate with others to wait for the city lord.

Perhaps because the new city lord was also his own, Fang Ruhai seemed quite proud and talked to people around him from time to time, while Xiang Xuehai stood without saying a word, as if he was the only one in the noisy east gate at this time, with no distraction.

Because Lin Haoming was a new arrival and his previous actions, Xiao Ming's old subordinates didn't know how to deal with it, so he seemed a little lonely alone.

After standing for a while, Song Ting, the Right Tongzhi, said a few words to the director of the workplace, Shan Dongliang, when he walked past Lin Haoming, he suddenly stopped and said, "Master Lin, Xinrou is working in the torture room. I don't know if it is competent. If there are any shortcomings, please give me more suggestions."

"I'm so kind to you, Mai is a very sensible talent for doing things. After he was transferred to the torture room, he could 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 nodded with a smile before leaving.

Lin Haoming looked at Song Ting leaving, thinking about what he said just now. Obviously, this should be a test by this Tongzhi, and it also seemed to show that both sides should have the opportunity to cooperate.

Of course, this hint is nothing. After all, Cui Changting has just arrived today. What is really the case depends on the situation after he takes office.

At this time, there were already sounds of a large group of carriages outside the city. Looking from the door, you could see a convoy of hundreds of feet long coming slowly towards the city gate without using any magical powers.

At the front, the person who led the way was Yan Shang, the official in the Dizi City. Not far behind, there was a very luxurious car, and Cui Changting was probably inside.

When Cui Changting married Qi Niang, he was just a lord of Diluan City. After so many years, he didn't expect to have become a fifth-rank city lord. Moreover, the lord of Diluan City is half a level higher than the lord of Diluan City in Yunze. Although Cui Changting is not very good, he is really capable of being an official.

The fifth-rank official can bless one wife and two concubines. If Qi Niang had not been abandoned back then, I wonder if she would have received the blessing of the Heavenly Seal? Of course, because now she and Gong Xinlan have a marriage letter bound by the way of heaven, she does not need her own blessing. Because she does not have a wife, Shu Siyue and Qi Niang have both been blessed by their own Heavenly Seal. Is this also the will of heaven?

Thinking of this, the carriage door opened, but the first one came first was not Cui Changting, but a woman. Then, Cui Changting got out of the car this time, and was holding a cloak in his hand. After getting off the car, he did not walk towards the official waiting, but first put the cloak on the woman.

If that woman is not mistaken, her name is Wu Li, who is the woman from the Wu family. The wife of Cui Changting who wanted to kidnap Qi Niang. After Jia Kai directly wrote a letter to Cui Changting, Cui Changting divorced her directly. With the support of the Wu family, the old Cui family did not have the courage to do stupid things for her niece, and Cui Changting naturally immediately helped Wu Li to become his wife.

"Mr. Cui is so caring about his wife. It is so enviable to be a talented man and a beautiful woman!" Fang Ruhai took the lead in greeting him with a smile.

"Master Fang was joking." Cui Changting responded with a smile.

"So many people, I'll go back to the car!" Wu Li seemed to ignore Fang Ruhai at all, gave the cloak again to Cui Changting, and got back into the car.

Cui Changting was holding the cloak and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Fortunately, a servant ran over and took the cloak away very quickly.

Lin Haoming looked at this scene and sneered in his heart. It seemed that this young lady of the Wu family was definitely not a good wife and mother. No wonder she forced his ex-wife to even use the worst strategy of kidnapping Qi Niang.

Fang Ruhai and Cui Changting knew each other, and he was a magistrate himself. In the entire Ditto City, except Cui Changting, he was a fifth-rank official, so he naturally started to introduce it.

The first ones introduced were naturally Xiang Xuehai and Song Ting, the left and right Tongzhi. Although one was an old man from Xiao Ming and the other was a representative of the local faction, at this moment, he still welcomed the new city lord very politely on the surface. With Yan Shang being with him, he looked quite harmonious.

Next were the left supervisor Ju Yehao and the right supervisor Deng Peng. Although both of them were Xiao Ming's old friends, they seemed even more enthusiastic than Xiang Xuehai at this time. Such performance made Lin Haoming frown slightly. Obviously, these two people may not be considered Xiao Ming's old subordinates.

Of course, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that most of the two people also saw that Fang Ruhai would not be in the local thief city for a long time. Once he left, the possibility of the two people succeeding to the throne was naturally not lacking, so the relationship with the city lord seemed to become quite important.

Cui Changting naturally smiled at them with such enthusiasm, obviously enjoying the feeling of being flattered.

After them, Yang Yingcheng, the head of the official house, and Yu Yanqing, the head of the household house.

These two can be said to be Xiao Ming's direct descendants. According to Lin Haoming's understanding, there is also a woman from the Xiao family among the wives and concubines. Although they are not Xiao Ming's direct children, they are also relatively close juniors. It is obviously much more difficult to get rid of Xiao Ming's influence than the two supervisors. Now they are also greeting Cui Changting politely and don't say much.

Cui Changting obviously did not have any preparations. He roughly understood the identity of the main officials in the city, but he didn't care much about it.

Next is Bao Wanchang, who was promoted by Fang Ruhai. Although he didn't know Cui Changting before, he seemed quite scolding when he greeted Cui Changting now.

After a while of greeting with Bao Wanchang, Cui Changting patted his shoulder and ended with signs of encouragement.
Chapter completed!
