Although the name contains the word "yamen", in fact, the Duwei Yamen does not handle official business for the outside world. As the highest authority of the Blood Guard in Taiping County, its existence represents the supreme imperial power.
Under the guidance of Wei Zhengxiong, Wang Chen stepped into this county government office full of mystery and majesty.
"Wei Baihu!" "Master Wei!"...
Wei Zhengxiong's popularity and prestige in Duwei Yamen were obviously very good. After entering, everyone he met greeted him or saluted him, and some of them were very respectful.
The Duwei Yamen is large in scale and has an extraordinary architectural layout, but it is filled with a chilling atmosphere.
"Wei Baihu."
As soon as the two of them arrived in the lobby, they were greeted by a middle-aged man with a white face and a beardless face.
The other party was also wearing the same Baihu Feiyu uniform, with an elegant appearance and a feminine temperament. It was just a scar at the corner of his left eye that added a bit of ruthlessness to him. At first glance, he was no ordinary character.
Seeing the other party, Wei Zhengxiong narrowed his eyes and asked carelessly: "Chen Baihu, do you have any advice?"
Wang Chen understood as soon as he heard this, this must be the backstage concierge from yesterday!
Could it be that he came here to ask questions?
Chen Baihu smiled and said, "I don't take advice seriously. It's just that my brother-in-law offended Wei Baihu yesterday. I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you will let him go."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands.
"Old Chen!"
Wei Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "I'm not telling you, your brother-in-law is really not a good person!"
"It doesn't matter if he offends me. My lord won't care about him. But if he offends a bigger lord without a look, you will be implicated too!"
Chen Baihu's smile suddenly froze on his face.
He was angry at Wei Zhengxiong just now, naturally he wanted to get back some ground for his brother-in-law.
Otherwise, where is the face?
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhengxiong actually climbed up the pole to get into the room, lifted the tiles and was slapped in the face!
The lobby of the Yamen was the busiest with people coming and going. When everyone saw Wei Zhengxiong confronting Chen Baihu, many people stopped to watch the excitement.
I saw Wei Zhengxiong put on a sincere expression: "Old Chen, listen to me, the position of guard is really not suitable for your brother-in-law. Sooner or later, he will cause you trouble."
"I heard that there is a lack of a sweeper in the dormitory. I feel that it is very suitable for your brother-in-law. It will definitely not matter if it offends the manhole!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of uncontrollable laughter all around.
Wei Zhengxiong's words are really damaging.
A private room is a latrine, and cleaning a latrine is cleaning the toilet. He actually suggested that Chen Baihu's brother-in-law clean the latrine, and he said it in a reasonable and well-founded way, which was like slapping the latter in the face.
Even though Chen Baihu was very deep in the city, he couldn't help but be so angry that he said, "No need, I have my own arrangements!"
In fact, Chen Baihu also knew that his brother-in-law was someone who couldn't hold up a wall, and he didn't do a good job even though he was given a good job. Although he didn't make anyone angry, he was still very unpopular in the yamen.
Yesterday, he was slapped in the face by Wei Zhengxiong. He thought he would take the opportunity to change his brother-in-law's position and give Wei Zhengxiong some eye drops.
As a result, Wei Zhengxiong was so reckless that he couldn't even bring out his plans!
Chen Baihu turned around and left.
I hate myself to death.
But just after taking a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Wang Chen with a sinister look in his eyes.
Wang Chen looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"If you see this person in the future, stay away."
Wei Zhengxiong said in a low voice: "He has a smiling face, so don't get into any trouble with him!"
Wang Chen nodded to show that he remembered.
Wei Zhengxiong was very familiar with people in Duwei Yamen, and the process of applying for Wang Chen's employment was uneventful. Although it took a bit long, he did not encounter any obstacles.
Later, Wang Chen learned that in order to ensure that he became a member of the Blood Guards, Wei Zhengxiong used his recommended quota.
Recommendation is different from recommendation. The latter is just a recommendation. At most, it guarantees priority for admission under the same conditions.
Recommendation is a guarantee based on one's own reputation, guaranteeing that one can become a blood-clothed guard, which is a benefit for middle- and high-level officials.
According to the regulations within the Xueyiwei system, thousands of households have three recommended places, and hundreds of households only have one.
The general flag below has five recommendation places, and there are also three small flags, and their value is incomparable!
Under normal circumstances, this kind of recommended quota is only given to descendants of one's own relatives, direct descendants, and direct descendants.
Wei Zhengxiong had two sons, but he gave the only recommended spot to Wang Chen without hesitation.
Although there are other reasons, this favor is real and heavy!
While going through the formalities and receiving new guard uniform tokens and other items, Wei Zhengxiong also introduced the situation of the Duwei Yamen in detail to Wang Chen.
The Duwei Yamen is in charge of a county. Any crimes involving rebellion, rebellion, corruption, bribery and other crimes, as well as all kinds of weird and strange things, will be dispatched by the Duwei Yamen to arrest or solve them.
The highest official of the Duwei Yamen is the Duwei Commander, also known as the "Wei Commander", who is a high-ranking official of the second rank!
Not to mention Wang Chen, a new recruit, even Wei Zhengxiong rarely sees him.
Below the commander of the capital guard are the Tongzhi, Qianshi, and then Qianhu, Baihu, the general banner and the small banner.
Wei Zhengxiong, as a member of the sixth rank, can nominally command three hundred people, but in fact, under normal circumstances, there are only a hundred blood-clothed guards who directly obey his orders.
But this is already a very high authority, because there is no weak person in the blood-clothed guards, they must be at least second-level warriors!
A third-level martial artist like Wang Chen is eligible to compete for Xiaoqi's position.
Speaking of this, Wang Chen couldn't help but think of Zhang Weiran who recommended him to come to Jiangyuan City.
It's really puzzling that this powerful fourth-level general is just a small flag.
Then Wei Zhengxiong told him that Zhang Weiran once worked as a hundred households, but because he offended his boss, he was demoted to the general banner, and then he was promoted to the minor banner. The reasons were very complicated.
Wei Zhengxiong didn't want to say more, so Wang Chen naturally didn't ask.
The Master of Hundred Households was still very enthusiastic. After leaving the Duwei Yamen, he hired a Yaman to rent a house nearby for Wang Chen to live in.
The house is not big and the rent is not cheap, but the advantage is that the location is very good and it will be very convenient to go to work in the future.
Wei Zhengxiong also asked people to buy some daily necessities for him.
He even wanted to buy two servants and maids for Wang Chen.
Wang Chen quickly declined.
That night, Wei Zhengxiong once again hosted a banquet for Wang Chen at his home to celebrate his official admission into the Blood-Shirt Guards. From now on, he would eat royal food and embark on the glorious road!
The blood-clothed guard Baihu was in a very good mood, so he forced Wang Chen to drink a full five jars of strong wine together.
As a result, Wang Chen was still drunk when he returned to his home.
