Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 24 Takeover
The handover process looks simple, but in fact it is very complicated.

In addition to Long Jinwei's flower list, there is also the account book in Long Jinwei's yamen. In addition to these, the most important thing is that Long Jinwei also has some spies in the capital.

These secret agents are not many in number, but they control some businesses, and these businesses can pay a lot of money to Long Jinwei's yamen every year.

The other one is these spies, who can be regarded as one of the eyes and ears of the Supreme Emperor.

Although it is not as good as several other agencies responsible for espionage, it can be regarded as one of the real powers.

What's more terrible is that Long Jinwei still has certain law enforcement powers. They are two systems with the Wucheng Bingma Division, but sometimes they can manage some things within the Wucheng Bingma Division's duties.

Therefore, the big and small gangs in the capital and those doing gray business also sent some money to the leader of Long Jinwei.

It's not that people are afraid of him. After all, they can do gray business in the capital, and everyone has a backer behind them.

The main reason is that people are afraid of trouble, so they just send some money casually, so that the provincial Long Jinwei will intervene.

Jia Rui looked at the account book in his hand, as well as the list of spies and transactions, and felt jealous.

No wonder Huang Bingren is so nostalgic for this position.

Even if the entire Long Jinwei's yamen does not rely on the appropriation from the imperial court, the money for these sales alone is a large sum, which is enough for Long Jinwei's operation.

As the head of Captain Long, Jia Rui could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year as long as he operated a little bit.

Huang Bingren saw that Jia Rui's face was red and knew what he was thinking, so he looked around and saw that the accountants and government servants were hiding far away, so he dared to approach Jia Rui and whisper in his ear. .

"Commander Jia, apart from the expenses of Lieutenant Long and the rewards for the people below, [-]% of the remaining money will be sent to Eunuch Dai's house."

After hearing this, Jia Rui frowned, and his face became ugly.

You must know that he has never seen so much money. As long as all this money is his own, with this income, he can quickly practice a martial arts to the extreme.

At that time, in this world with Xianxia, ​​I will have some guarantees in terms of safety.

Huang Bingren saw Jia Rui's disappointment, so he smiled and continued to explain.

"Master Jia, don't worry, it's all small money. The real big money is the tribute from various forces in the capital."

Jia Rui's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he looked Huang Bingren up and down, then gently patted his shoulder and said: "Old Huang, since you are so loyal and have told me the truth, don't worry. , I will give you a few nice words in front of the Supreme Emperor when I get the chance, and I will ask you to be transferred back."

If an ordinary person had just obtained the position of Commander Long Jin, they would not dare to make a wish as brightly as Jia Rui.

But Jia Rui is different from others, he knows that the Supreme Emperor has [-]% trust in him.

Now that I am the commander of Long Jinwei, it is just a transition, and it will not be a problem for a first-rank officer in the future.

Huang Bingren is so knowledgeable, if he is transferred back to this position in the future, it will be regarded as repaying his favor.

The reason why Huang Bingren was so devoted to Jia Rui was because of Jia Rui's status in front of the Supreme Emperor. Hearing what he said, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Then I will ask Mr. Jia. In a few days, I will send this year's carbon gift to Mr. Jia's house, so that Mr. Jia will also be warm."

Jia Rui also knew about these gift-giving methods, so he made a few comments without comment.

But not taking a stand is the best way to take a stand.

Huang Bingren already understood what Jia Rui meant.

He had already made up his mind to give Jia Rui a generous gift before leaving the capital, so that he would remember him and speak kindly to him in front of the Emperor if he had the opportunity in the future.

The two of them were chatting happily when a government servant hurried in.

"I want to report to Jia Dutong that the brothers of Captain Long are here. I would like to ask Mr. Jia to speak to them to encourage morale."

Jia Rui nodded, and then said to Huang Bingren who was standing aside: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't recognized all the brothers yet. This time, I just take this opportunity to get to know all the brothers well."

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he turned around and left the main hall. Huang Bingren hurriedly followed behind, and the two came to the square.

There are about 400 people standing here, far exceeding the number of Captain Long.

However, these hundreds of people were obviously divided into two parts, one part was neatly dressed, with a scimitar at the waist, and Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand.

Although the other part was also wearing the clothes of the Dragon Guard, they did not have any weapons on them.

Huang Bingren stood next to Jia Rui, pointed at the group of people without weapons, and said softly: "Master Jia, these are all candidates for Longjing Lieutenant."

Jia Rui nodded. Some of these people either didn't give enough money or didn't have enough status, so they couldn't really enter the Dragon Guard, they could only become alternates.

Moreover, there is no time limit for this candidate. If they don't send money in the future, then they will continue to be a candidate, and they will never get a real job in this life.

There are also a small number of other people who, after the real dignitaries, have money at home, buy this candidate for the Dragon Guard, just for the sake of looking good, and they don't come here at all.

When the dragon guards saw Jia Rui coming out, they all knelt down on one knee and raised their hands.

"You guys have seen Dutong."

At this time, Jia Rui only felt a hot current rushing directly to his forehead.

No wonder people want to be an official. At this time, seeing hundreds of former colleagues kneeling respectfully in front of me, that feeling, that kind of air of self-importance, no matter whether it is modern or the original Jia Rui never felt.

Huang Bingren saw all the brothers knelt for a long time, but Jia Rui didn't reply, and hurriedly pulled Jia Rui's sleeve beside him.

"Master Jia, Mr. Jia, please say something to the brothers."

Jia Rui got the reminder, so he woke up from his excitement. He coughed twice, and then pretended to say: "We are all brothers, why bother to be so polite, get up."

All the Forbidden Captains below heard Jia Rui's words and hurriedly stood up.

Jia Rui, who had calmed down, looked at these dragon guards now and felt that something was wrong.

These people are well dressed, their armor is bright, and they all stand upright, looking quite majestic.

But if you take a closer look, you can find that each of these people is delicate and tender.

Jia Rui sighed, thinking about it is the same reason, didn't he just spend money to join the Dragon Guard?The people below are probably from the same background as me.

Moreover, the Supreme Emperor did not direct Long Jinwei to go into battle to kill the enemy. At most, he treated them as a guard of honor.

But now these people are his own soldiers anyway, if they don't train them, they will be numb if something happens in the future.

"Brothers, what we eat is the food of the Supreme Emperor. Naturally, we have to work for the Supreme Emperor. But look at your appearance now. How do you look like you can go into battle to kill the enemy?"

After saying this, Jia Rui walked up to an official Dragon Forbidden Captain and patted him on the shoulder.

Don't look at Jia Rui's just a light pat, but Jia Rui has already used the second layer of Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu to the extreme.

How could the pretty boy opposite him stand up? Jia Rui fell to the ground after being beaten like this.

The other Long Jinwei burst out laughing when they saw this scene.

They didn't expect their companion to be so incompetent, and the Commander was so frightened that he fell to the ground with just a slight pat.

Jia Rui didn't smile, and looked at the other rather thick-looking Long Jinwei beside him.

This guy smiled with his molars exposed.

Jia Rui patted him on the side shoulder lightly, this guy was recognized by Jia Rui and took a few steps, and then he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

This time, the entire Forbidden Captain Long stopped laughing, and his face became serious.

They didn't expect that this new commander of the Dragon Guard would be so powerful.

The strong man who was photographed on the ground by Jia Rui just now is also famous among the Dragon Guards. He is a real general.

He is one of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, the grandson of Ma Kui, the ruler of the country, and the legitimate second son of Ma Shang, the hereditary third-rank Weiyuan general Ma Tao.

Among the Dragon Guards, he had really practiced for several days, and he was considered the best among the Dragon Guards. However, he did not expect that he was thrown to the ground with just a gentle slap from Jia Rui.
