At dusk on the second day, Liu Daqiang and his two men drove a carriage and caught up with Zhu Ping'an and his party. The journey was windy and rainy, but the road was relatively peaceful. The Japanese pirates had just finished one wave of ravages, and the next wave was gathering momentum. This period of time was considered a Japanese invasion.
On the morning of the sixth day, Zhu Ping'an and his party arrived at Yingtian Mansion safely without any wind or waves.
Zhu Pingan is no stranger to Yingtian. The Enke Science Examination and the Provincial Examination were all held in Yingtian back then. However, after all, he was not a native of Yingtian. After arriving in Yingtian, Zhu Pingan did not know where the Zhejiang Trial and Punishment Chasi Yamen was.
.
Zhu Ping'an and his party asked three people on the street before they found out where the Zhejiang Prosecution Department's office was.
Cross Moxie Road, go north along Chuihua Lane, and arrive at Dongshi Street. A yamen with a strong official authority stands on the street facing south. In front of the yamen is a huge stone tablet with the inscription: Zhejiang Prosecution Bureau
.
After finding the Zhejiang Procuratorate, Zhu Pingan and his party found an inn nearby and settled in temporarily.
After Zhu Ping'an took a bath in the inn, Hua'er served him and changed into his official uniform.
"Girl, people really rely on their clothes. Even nerds, who are so unphotogenic, fall in love with some people who look like shit."
The enchantress Ruo Nan is like a soy saucer next to her. She holds Zhu Pingan's black gauze hat in her hand. From time to time, she reaches out and presses the wings of the hat twice, making it swing up and down. It circles around Zhu Pingan, blinking with a pair of fox eyes and giggling.
He said.
Hua'er immediately glared at the seductress Ruonan, "What's not photogenic? My uncle is handsome, so someone who touches a dog like that doesn't sound like a good word."
Zhu Ping'an stretched out his hand and rubbed Hua'er's head, and smiled slightly, "I don't rely on my appearance to make a living."
Zhu Ping'an changed his official uniform, settled Hua'er and others, and took Liu Mu and Liu Dadao downstairs to the Zhejiang Prosecution and Prosecution Office to take up their posts.
When the innkeeper saw Zhu Pingan coming downstairs in a brand-new official uniform, his attitude was indescribable. He not only exempted Zhu Pingan and his party from room and meal expenses, but also upgraded their housing and meal standards for free. Zhu Pingan repeatedly said
I declined the store's kindness and said everything would be business as usual.
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic store owner, Zhu Ping'an took Liu Mu and Liu Dadao to the Zhejiang Procuratorate once again.
The yamen of the Jiang Ti Xingjian Procuratorate opens to the south. The yamen is very wide, more than twice as big as the Jingnan yamen. Two thick towering trees stand on both sides of the yamen. The tree canopy covers half of the gatehouse of the government office. The gatehouse is tall and has eaves.
Flying high, vivid roof beasts sit on the roof ridges, and pieces of black tiles are inlaid on the top of the gate tower like dragon scales, extending to the official wall.
The gate of the official office consists of three red-lacquered doors with copper nails. The door knockers are a pair of lion and beast rings. In front of each door, there is a pair of drum stones squatting. The two sides of the drum stones are embossed with the good beast Qilin.
In ancient times when the feudal hierarchy was strict, only drum-holding stones could be erected in front of government offices or mansions with prestigious titles.
On both sides of the gate are tall green brick walls, which extend to both sides in a figure-eight shape, giving a majestic and majestic appearance.
"Young master, I didn't look carefully just now, but now I see that the Yamen of the Prosecution Office is much bigger than ours in Jingnan. I feel a little embarrassed when I stand in front of the door. If the master hadn't been beside me, I wouldn't have dared to stand at the door.
With."
Liu Dadao stood in front of the official gate, looking at the spacious and majestic yamen, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Nonsense, Jingnan County Yamen is a seventh-grade yamen, and this is a third-grade yamen, can it be the same?" Liu Mu couldn't help but said.
"Haha, Dadao, you are now an official, so what's the point?" Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly.
With that said, Zhu Pingan climbed up the stairs and took the lead to step forward.
Liu Dadao and the other two followed Zhu Ping'an forward. Liu Dadao didn't notice the height of the threshold and stumbled. He was caught by Liu Mu's quick eyes and hands next to him. After he stood firm, Liu Dadao couldn't help but smacked his tongue and said, "Mother."
Ah, the threshold is really high, more than a foot, right? Even with such a high threshold, I'm not afraid of stumbling when I enter."
"It's really hopeless." Liu Mu couldn't help but said speechlessly when he saw this.
"Ahem, the threshold is too high." Liu Dadao coughed and defended himself with a blushing face.
Zhu Pingan and his entourage walked up the stairs. A doorman in the concierge heard the noise and came out to check the situation. After seeing Zhu Pingan in official uniform, he stepped forward with a wink and asked about the situation. He learned that Zhu Pingan was from Zhejiang Province who came to take office.
After he was appointed to be his immediate superior, he became even more enthusiastic and respectful.
When the other disciples learned the news, they all came out of the concierge immediately to greet Zhu Ping'an.
The government office is going to have a Master Qianshi. They have known about this news a few months ago. They also know that the Master Qianshi who is coming is very young and is still a top scholar. Therefore, the disciples knew that Zhu Ping'an would not come as soon as they saw him.
That's wrong. He is so young and wearing the uniform of a fifth-rank official. He must be the new Lord Qianshi.
"My lord, please rest for a while in the concierge. I'll go inside and report." The doorman who came out first invited Zhu Ping'an and his entourage into the concierge. "It's just that the tea here is a bit vulgar, so please bear with me."
.”
"It's okay." Zhu Ping'an replied with a smile, "Excuse me, please go and report."
"My lord, I'm so sorry for you." Menzi was a little flattered, feeling that this young lord was so kind and kind.
When one of the disciples went inside to report, Zhu Pingan chatted with other disciples without any airs.
In the process of chatting with his disciples, he intentionally learned about the situation of the Zhejiang Prosecution Office, and the disciples also knew everything about Zhu Pingan. After some small talk, Zhu Pingan had a certain understanding of the government office.
At present, there are one chief official in Zhejiang's Zhejiang Provincial Government, one deputy envoy, two deputy envoys, and three ministers. Of course, after he took office, there were four ministers.
"Zhengguan". In addition to the official, the yamen also has four "chief officials" including experience, governor, Zhaomo and inspector. The so-called chief officer refers to the leader of the officials, namely experience, governor, Zhaomo and inspector.
There are five members in charge of the prison, headed by the experience department, zhaomo office and prison department. The experience department is in charge of collecting documents and investigating the names of criminals. There is one person each, the governor and the governor. They have six rooms for setting up households, etiquette, soldiers and punishments; and the director of zhaomo office
There is one person to supervise and edit case files, and one person to supervise and supervise the school. The Director of Prisons is in charge of the inspection and prison affairs, and there is one person to supervise and supervise the prisons.
The concierge had a very detailed record of the number of clerks in the government office. After their narration, Zhu Ping'an learned that there were fourteen clerks, twenty-eight clerks, and two clerks in the six rooms of the main hall of the government office.
There is one official in charge of the Treasury and four persons in charge of commissions. There is one official in charge of the administrative department, four officials in the Zhaomo department, and one official in charge of the prison, for a total of fifty-five persons.
That is to say, there are more than 60 officials in the Zhejiang Provincial Government Office. Of course, these do not include men, zaoli, jinzi and other servants.
