Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 67

A few more days passed, and with the departure of governor Li Yan and county governor Tai Min, Xinye County returned to its former peace.

However, Xu Zun's exclamation came from Xinye County Yamen.

"No way?" Seeing Xu Zun holding a gold-rimmed edict, he asked in surprise, "This is the imperial decree? Is it a bit of a joke?"

In Xu Zun's impression, when the imperial decree arrives, he usually has to approach him from a distance, bow his head on the ground, and shout long live long live or something.

But now that the imperial decree arrived, there was no ostentation at all, and no one even read it out. It was just handed over to Xu Zun by the county magistrate Luo Wanwan for him to read it by himself.

"Hey, Xu County Wei is joking, oh, that's not right..." Luo Wanwan hurriedly changed his words, "I'm going to ask you to be punished now, my lord! The emperor's grace is so great, I'm in awe, you can't lie, hehe... ..."

After the iron coffin case, Luo Xiancheng's attitude towards Xu Zun changed greatly, and he no longer dared to despise this former confused county magistrate.

Oh……

Relevant information popped up in Xu Zun's mind. It turned out that the imperial edicts of the Daxuan Dynasty were also divided into three, six, and nine grades. For people of Xu Zun's level, the royal family just issued an imperial edict as a courtesy, and it was not as exaggerated as in TV dramas.

It was only then that Xu Zun realized that he was in a fictional dynasty, and many rules were different from the real historical dynasty.

Open the edict, but see the simple and clear text above:
"Xinye County Lieutenant Xu Zun has made great achievements in solving the iron coffin case. He is hereby promoted to Tangzhou to be punished. He will take up his post from the seventh rank official salary. I admire you."

Tangzhou mentioning punishment?

Xu Zun soon learned that this Tangzhou prisoner was the prisoner of the provincial unit.

The nature of his work is basically the same as that of Chen Taiji, the censor of the Ministry of Punishment. It is to verify major criminal cases in various places, but it is one level lower than Chen Taiji, and the scope of work is limited to the jurisdiction of Tangzhou.

In fact, in the past few days, Xu Zun had already had a vague premonition that after the iron coffin case, he would undergo major changes.

Did not expect to come so fast.

It stands to reason that it is extremely rare for Xu Zun to directly jump from rank nine county captain to rank seven, so he should be happy.

But Xu Zun was a little unhappy.

Because Cai Kun, the head of the inner guard cabinet, strongly recommended himself. If it really worked, then he should have entered the unit under the inner guard, right?

The criminal officer who can be mentioned belongs to the Ministry of punishment and is appointed by the state government.

As we all know, Empress Dowager Lin has a rift with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, how could I enter the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

Could it be... because he is the son of Dali Temple Minister Xu Changlin?
Or is it because Mr. Shen is the minister of punishment?
Or, Cai Kun wants to arrange for himself to enter the criminal department and be their eyeliner?

"Xu Tixing," At this time, Luo Xiancheng handed Xu Zun another official document with the official seal of the state government, and said, "This is an urgent document sent by the governor's office together with the imperial decree. Master Li Yan wrote it in his own handwriting, you should read it quickly!"

Oh?
Xu Zun took the official document, but saw that the official document was written in an obscure and awkward manner. If he hadn't relied on the original Xu Xianwei's writing skills, it would be difficult for him to understand.

In the official document, Li Yan, the governor of Tangzhou, first expressed his appreciation to Xu Zun, and then congratulated Xu Zun on his promotion to the criminal officer, and said some words of encouragement.

Finally, the document finally got to the point, which was to ask him, Xu Tixing, who had just taken office, to rush to Shangyuan City immediately to deal with an urgent case.

Shangyuan City is the seat of the county government of Shangyuan County, which is a city-level city.

It stands to reason that now that Xu Zun has been promoted to a provincial official, he should first report to Wude City, the state capital.

It can be seen that this so-called urgent case must be very urgent!
"Xu Tixing," Luo Wanwan said, cupping his hands at Xu Zun, "The governor's intention is to tell you to set off immediately, and...the carriage is already prepared for you!"

No way?
in such a hurry?
Xu Zun hurriedly asked: "Luo Xiancheng, do you know what happened in Shangyuan City?"

"I don't know, but," Luo Wanwan said, "according to what the messenger said, Lord Inspector is also in Shangyuan City now!

"They also said that your official certificate and salary certificate are also with the governor, and they will be processed for you when you go!"

"Oh……"

Xu Zun nodded and said in his heart, it seems that something really happened!

Unexpectedly, I had just rested for a few days before ushering in a new journey.I don't know, what kind of case will be encountered there?
So Xu Zun got up and said goodbye to Luo Wanwan.

"Jiying," Luo Wanwan said shamelessly, "Luo has offended me before, and I should not have slandered you and Mr. Shen in front of the iron coffin in the secret room.

"However, I hope you can understand that under the circumstances at that time, I was not only for myself, but also for the entire Xinye County Government!"

After finishing speaking, Luo Wanwan bowed to the end and apologized to Xu Zun.

Xu Zun hurriedly supported him: "Lord Luo is serious, anyone would do that!"

"In the future," Luo Wanwan said again, "I hope Mr. Ti Xing will ignore the previous suspicions and take care of him!"

"Hehe," Xu Zun said with a smile, "you must not forget your original intention!"

Although Tangzhou's probation officer is only a seventh-rank official and is at the same level as the county magistrate, because he has the power to supervise and correct mistakes, his power is naturally much greater than that of the county magistrate.

Luo Xiancheng certainly didn't want to offend the future leader.

"Master Xu, Master Xu, hahaha..." Unexpectedly, just as Xu Zun was about to leave, Zhao Yu's resounding voice came from behind him, "It's really great, I can work with Master Xu again in the future!"

Xu Zun turned his head and saw that Zhao Yu was wearing a heavy cotton coat with a package slung across his shoulder, as if he was about to go on a long journey.

"You..." Xu Zun was surprised, he already guessed something in his heart.

"Why, Master Luo didn't tell you?" Zhao Yu smiled innocently, "I will be your bodyguard from now on!"

"This..." Xu Zun's heart sank, deeply worried.

"Oh, look at my brain," Luo Wanwan said hastily, "Your Majesty issued an order at the same time, because Zhao Butou has made great contributions in assisting the iron coffin case, so Zhao Butou is specially appointed as a criminal arrest guard to assist Xu Ti's criminal office. .”

I go……

Xu Zun was taken aback, unexpectedly, it was actually conferred by the emperor himself!
This is troublesome...

Up to now, even though this Zhao Yu is brave and resourceful, his origin is unknown, making him unpredictable, and he dare not get too close to him.

Especially after discovering Ku Niang, Xu Zun was even more afraid that Zhao Yu would get a glimpse of the secret.

In case, who sent this Zhao Yu, I'm afraid it will be bad for him.

However, he was appointed by the emperor himself, so he couldn't get rid of him.

Ugh!
How could this be?
Could it be... must Ku Niang stay at home?
No...

Xu Zun resolutely denied that the secret of Ku Niang hadn't been found out yet, so he absolutely couldn't let her out of his sight.

"Master Xu," Zhao Yu said cheerfully, "When are we going to leave? Don't worry, with me here, no matter what case arises there, we will definitely solve it! Right?"

"Hehehe," Xu Zun pretended to laugh, and said with his arms around Zhao Yu's shoulders, "Of course, with Zhao Catcher as company, I have more confidence, hehehe..."

Saying that, the two walked out facing the winter sun.

Xu Zun smiled, but he was planning something quickly in his mind...
