He Juntao immediately went to the guest room to find Qi Wenhai and others.
We agreed last night that we would take them to the Ministry of Justice to get a job today.
The last time Xiaoling, a disciple of Zhehuaxian, caused trouble in the capital, Long Chen felt that the arrest department of the Criminal Department was very poor, and he always wanted to build an arrest team of the Criminal Department.
It just so happened that Qi Wenhai and the other six were doing this, and Long Chen planned to recommend them to the Ministry of Punishment.
Long Chen stood at the door, Xiaohu was practicing martial arts, and Hua'er was watching from the side.
After finishing a set of boxing skills, Xiaohu started practicing marksmanship again.
The spear is the king of weapons, and the most commonly used weapon on the battlefield is the long spear. Long Chen asked Xiaohu to practice Tyrant Dragon Spear.
Soon, Qi Wenhai and the other six followed He Juntao to the door.
"King Wu."
The six of them put on their best clothes, but they still looked very shabby.
Over the years, they had been chasing Li Yunbao, and they had almost no income, and naturally their clothes were not getting better.
"Juntao, go buy them two good outfits."
He Juntao bowed and said, "I obey."
Qi Wenhai looked down at his clothes and shoes and said sheepishly: "I forgot to change into a good set of clothes."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Let's go, go to the Criminal Department today."
I heard that the six of us were very happy to go to the Ministry of Punishment.
They were originally police officers, so it was just right for them to go to the Criminal Department.
The horses are ready, Long Chen is walking in front, Qi Wenhai and Guan Yue are behind, and the others are looking at the bustling capital on horseback, sighing that the capital is good.
"Such a good horse probably costs 100 taels of silver."
The man behind him touched the horse. It was his first time riding such a good horse.
"This seems to be a prairie war horse, the best."
The man next to me said.
After walking through the street and arriving outside the criminal department, the yamen officer recognized Long Chen and hurriedly went in to report.
As soon as Long Chen got off his horse and walked directly inside, he saw Wu Wenjing, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, running out, followed by Ma Tao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
The original Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice became an official, Wu Wenjing took over the position of Shangshu, and Ma Tao, the original doctor, was promoted to the position of Minister.
When he heard that Long Chen was coming, Wu Wenjing was so frightened that he walked over to greet him.
"Meet King Wu!"
Wu Wenjing and his minister Ma Tao saluted respectfully.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Wu Shangshu is so polite."
Wu Wenjing quickly invited Long Chen to sit down in the living room.
Wu Wenjing led the way, and Long Chen, Qi Wenhai and others went to the living room and sat down.
Long Chen took the main seat, Wu Wenjing sat down on the side, and opposite Qi Wenhai and the other six people.
"King Wu came to the Ministry of Justice today. What's the matter?"
Wu Wenjing was once captured by Long Chen and almost died. Now that he saw Long Chen, he felt terrified.
Long Chen smiled and said: "I came to the Punishment Department today because I really have something to ask for."
Wu Wenjing was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, King Wu please give me orders!"
Long Chen looked at Qi Wenhai and the other six and said, "These six are officials from Helin County, Qianjiang County. This is the arresting officer Qi Wenhai, and that one is the deputy arresting officer Guan Yue."
The six of them stood up together and bowed to Wu Wenjing: "Greetings to Mr. Shangshu."
Wu Wenjing immediately stood up and returned the salute: "That's so polite."
As a minister, Wu Wenjing did not pay attention to these small spies at all.
This kind of return gift was for Long Chen's sake, and Qi Wenhai and others knew it very well.
"I met a few of them on the way to Jinling. In order to hunt down a murderer, they gave up their official positions and spent six years to catch the culprit."
"I thought that the Ministry of Punishment also needed such generals, so I brought them here to see Wu Shangshu, hoping to find a job under you."
Long Chen told the whole story.
Wu Wenjing suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out to be you. I heard that the thief is Li Yunbao, who has killed many people."
"I didn't expect you to know King Wu. The Ministry of Punishment is in need of generals like you."
As soon as Long Chen said it, Wu Wenjing remembered it.
Qianjiang County reported the matter of Qi Wenhai and others to the Ministry of Punishments. Wu Wenjing wanted to re-employ them at that time, but Qianjiang County said that Qi Wenhai and others did not intend to be head arresters.
Wu Wenjing felt strange at that time why such a good head catcher was not used properly.
Now I finally know that Qi Wenhai defected to Long Chen.
With Long Chen as his back, the small government office in Helin County naturally looked down upon him.
"King Wu, there happens to be a vacancy here in Xiaguan. The arrest department is in need of a doctor, and Qi Wenhai is just the right one."
"Your Majesty wants Qi Wenhai to serve as the arresting officer. What do you think?"
Long Chen looked at Qi Wenhai and waited for Qi Wenhai to make his own decision.
Qi Wenhai was overjoyed when he heard that the arrest officer of the Criminal Department was a fifth-rank official, and he had risen to the top in one fell swoop.
The county's catchers and head catchers are actually officials, not officials, have no rank, and are not officials appointed by the imperial court.
However, the fifth-rank arrest officer is a high-ranking official. Qi Wenhai went from a temporary worker to a capital official in one step, which was a step to the sky.
Qi Wenhai immediately bowed: "I am willing!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Wu Shangshu. The arresting officer is a fifth-level position, so I will inform the staff."
Officials of the fifth rank need to be appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Qi Wenhai had never been an official before. He was appointed as a doctor from a small county. This was not in compliance with the promotion rules. Long Chen had to greet the officials.
Wu Wenjing paid his respects and said, "Thank you very much for your understanding, King Wu. The qualifications of the lower official are still relatively low. If the lower official is the one to make the decision regarding the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of Baili may not agree."
"King Wu, go and say it, and it will naturally fall into place."
Baili Bing, the Minister of Personnel, is a member of the Empress's family, and has a very good relationship with Long Chen. If Long Chen talks about this matter, it will definitely happen.
Qi Wenhai was as happy as in a dream.
"Then you stay in the Ministry of Justice and work with Wu Shangshu. You must work hard and don't betray Wu Shangshu's trust."
Qi Wenhai and the other six people stood up and worshiped: "I will definitely live up to your lordship."
Wu Wenjing smiled and said: "No, no, no, it's not my good intention, it's King Wu's."
After chatting for a while, Long Chen stood up and left the Criminal Department. Qi Wenhai and the other six people stayed and took office on the same day to familiarize themselves with things first.
With Long Chen's relationship, the six of them would naturally have a good time in the Criminal Department.
Long Chen came out of the Criminal Department and went directly to the Official Department.
The six departments are together and can be reached within a few steps.
After entering the official department, someone hurriedly reported Baili Bing.
Soon, Baili Bing came out to greet him.
"How come King Wu has time to come to my place today?"
Baili Bing walked out with a smile.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Shang Shu Baili is in charge of the promotion and dismissal of officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He is usually very busy, and I never dare to disturb him."
Baili Bing asked Long Chen to sit down and said with a smile: "King Wu is just joking. My yamen is in charge of heaven and earth. How can I be in charge of King Wu?"
Long Chen is a prince, half a rank higher than the four princesses, so Baili Bing will definitely have nothing to do with him.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Who said you can't control it? I have something to ask for today."
Baili Bing smiled and said: "It's strange, King Wu has never expressed love for anyone before, but today he actually did it."
"I wonder which female general it is? Or whose daughter is pretty?"
Baili Bing was joking, Long Chen said with a smile: "Shang Shu Baili has gone too far. I am a serious man, what have you said?"
"It's like this. During my last trip to Jinling, I met a group of head catchers from Helin County. You may also know that they are Qi Wenhai."
"I saw that they were dedicated to their duties and were good people, so I recommended them to the Ministry of Punishment."
"Wu Shangshu said that the position of Langzhong of the arrest department is vacant, but the appointment requires your consent. I came here to ask for a favor."
After listening to Long Chen's words, Baili Bing nodded and said: "Oh, Qi Wenhai, I have read the books and newspapers in Qianjiang County, the one who has been chasing the murderer for six years."
"The doctor is a member of the fifth rank. This matter needs to be reported to the Holy Master to be informed."
"Qi Wenhai is a capable person, and he was recommended by King Wu. His Majesty should be sure."
"I will draft a report here. Once the Holy One agrees, I will immediately send the appointment documents to the Ministry of Punishment."
There is no problem with the person, and with Long Chen's recommendation, Baili Bing is happy to be a smooth favor.
