Lord of the House

Lin Fu has never been accustomed to the life of the chicken in this era. Every day, he has to cover his head and sleep until the sun rises before getting up to wash, practice knives, and then deal with daily chores.

On the 19th, after the chickens crowing all over the head, a twilight blue light appeared outside the window paper. In his sleep, Lin Tie heard the beeping of the door, and Liu Yueer called him softly from outside. Lin Bie replied in a daze, and heard a "squeaky" sound, Liu Yueer pushed the door and came in. The light in the room was very dark, and she saw Liu Yueer groping for the fire and lighting the lamp.

"What time is it?" Lin Bie got up and asked Liu Yue'er.

"The chicken is croaking all over the place, it's almost 90 hours..." Liu Yue'er came over with a candlestick burning with a big flame of beans and placed it on the corner stool beside Lin Fu's bed, some dared not see Lin Fu exposed to the cold The sturdy upper body in the air said, "Young master should get up, today is your first day as a new official." I thought to myself, my son looks frail, his face is thin, but his body is very strong.

It was only then that Lin Fu remembered that he had to go to the clerk's office to respond before he went to Jiangdao prison to perform his duties today.

In this era, there is no habit of working and resting from nine to five in the morning, not to mention that most of the country people will get up when they smell the chicken. The shopkeepers and clerks in the shops and workshops must be ready to open the door before dawn to welcome guests, and officials also need To report to the yamen at Mao Shi, the timekeeping method of later generations is to go to the yamen official sign to register before 7:00 in the morning.

Although he realized this, the drowsiness stuck in his mind was difficult to get rid of. Lin Bie reached for his clothes and almost knocked off the candlestick on the corner stool.

"Young master will go to the police inspector later, Siyamen is going to wear official uniforms, so I can't go back to change clothes in the afternoon..." Liu Yueer wanted to wait for Lin Fu to get dressed. Seeing him shirtless, she couldn't let go. He held the public uniform neatly stacked on the triangular side table in his hand. He first watched Lin Fu sit beside the bed and put on the inner jacket before handing him the cyan public uniform. , I couldn't help but go up to tidy up the collar for him...

Lin Fu washed up and practiced a knife in the yard. When the sky was a little brighter and he could see the scene in the corner of the yard, he had breakfast and rode with Zhao Hu to the inspectorate.

At the Yamen, it happened that Gu Wuchen also escorted Yang Shi, Ma Chao and others to the Yamen in a carriage.

"Just in time, you come with me first. When Master Jia comes over, I will take you to see Master Jia and everyone else..." Gu Wuchen got out of the car and eagerly greeted Lin Fu to follow him.

In fact, Lin Fu served as the prisoner of Jiangdao Prison. Logically speaking, in addition to inspecting officials Jia Pengyu and other errands, Lin Fu must first visit officials in the yamen, such as Zhaomo and other officials who are slightly higher in rank than him. The clerk should also report to the police first and wait patiently for the summons.

The so-called holding a tiger's skin to fill the banner, although usually get along with colleagues should be humble and peaceful, abide by the rules, this time Gu Wuchen wants to take him directly to see Jia Pengyu, Lin Fu will naturally no longer stick to the old rules, saying hello, Follow Gu Wuchen to his yard.

According to the old rules, when Lin Fu first entered the official position, he could not directly go to Jiangdao prison to perform his duties. After the inauguration of the inspector and envoy, there must be a process of apprenticeship and ministry assessment. The cycle can be as long or as short as three to five months. , and may not be able to formally take office for a year or two.

Gu Wuchen wanted to write a letter as soon as possible to ask the court to allow Jiangdong to reopen the prison city. There was not much time for Jia Pengyu and others to delay. According to his intention, he naturally hoped that Lin Fu could directly take over Jiangdao prison. Provide a great excuse.

Can't wait for Zhengye Tang to engrave the "Prison Book", and Gu Wuchen asked someone to copy it and send it to Jia Pengyu's desk; Jia Pengyu didn't want to fight against Gu Wuchen, as long as Gu Wuchen came up with a reason, he would naturally leave it behind. The old rules didn't prevent Lin Bie from taking over Jiangdao prison directly. Even if there was going to be a basket in the future, Gu Wuchen had to recite it a lot. Besides, the people in Jiangdao Prison are all poor ghosts, how big of a basket can they make?

First followed Gu Wuchen to meet Jia Pengyu, and Lin Fu was led by Yang Shi to meet the various officials who were on duty in the yamen today.

The status of the official five-rank press inspector is slightly lower than that of the inspector and the assistant inspector. There are officials who have been promoted from the Ministry of Punishment system, and those who have been born in the Metropolitan Court system are all officials from Beijing. delegate. In many prefectures and towns, for the convenience of the chiefs to govern local areas or command military operations, they usually use the prefect position plus the rank of clerk or the rank of cavalry commander plus the rank of clerk to centralize power. Compared with the promotion of other officials, the rank of clerk is more important. It is easy to send to the local to preside over the overall situation.

Lin Fu rescued the sister-in-law of the She family and sent him to the yamen, the yamen. All the officials in the yamen have seen him. What is his relationship with Gu Wuchen and what happened to him in Jiangning during this time? How many people didn't know, naturally they wouldn't look down on Lin Fu just because he was just a newcomer from the ninth-rank prison officer. Lin Fu came to see him, and he was very polite.

Xiao Xuanchou, the superintendent who oversees Jiangdao prison and the city's police officer, as well as Jiangdong's prisons and prison affairs, is Lin Fu's immediate boss. He has been in the officialdom for nearly 20 years. In the 12th year of the Yuan Dynasty, he was also promoted to the high position of the five-rank official inspector. He had no other aspirations, and only wanted to go to a wealthy place to join a prefect so that he could save some money for the elderly.

Twenty years of official career made Xiao Xuanchou a full-fledged official. He knew that the Chu Party was gaining power in the DPRK, so he put a lot of thought into trying to please Gu Wuchen, and usually had no pretense with Lin Fu, Ma Chao, Yang Pu and others. Calling him a brother, he first watched Yang Shi come into the room and greeted affectionately: "How come Xian Nephew Yang is free to come to my room today?" Then he watched Lin Fu come in, and hurriedly stood up from behind the desk, "Lin... ah, in the future. You and I are colleagues, I should call you Lord Lin."

"Your Excellency is joking with Lin Fu." Lin Fu saw Xiao Xuanchou's face was full of smiles, but he still had to abide by the rules, and bowed to Xiao Xuanlue.

"What is the order not to be ordered? Isn't it just negotiating between colleagues to get things done?" Xiao Xuanchou came over and took Lin Bie's shoulder and said, "If you want to say an order, let's listen to what Master Gu has ordered..."

Gu Wuchen's expectations for Lin Fu to take over Jiangdao prison, he usually talked about it in detail in the house, and it was just a routine thing to ask in the yamen.

Before noon, Lin Fu went to meet in the Yamen, the official inspector, and formally met his colleagues in the Yasi. At noon, twenty-two sons set up four tables in the Huihui Pavilion to feast on the colleagues of the ya office, as well as the secretary and staff members who were hired by the yamen privately to help with the official affairs. In the afternoon, Lin Fu returned to the inspector's office and listened to Gu Wuchen's instructions, so Xiao Xuanchou, the fifth-grade inspector, personally ordered a team of soldiers to be sent to Jinchuan Island outside the mouth of the Jinchuan River to take office.

Lin Fu had been to the mouth of Jinchuan River several times, but he only looked at Jinchuan Island from a distance, but he had never been on the island.

In early spring, the river is clear and shallow, and Jinchuan Island is only three miles in diameter. On the north side of the island is a relatively steep bank. There is no ferry at the mouth of Jinchuan River. Lin Fu and Xiao Xuanchou left their horses and took a boat after leaving Donghuamen to Jiuweng Bridge Pier. They traveled northward along the Jinchuan River for more than ten miles. Entering the sky and swinging on Jinchuan Island.

Ge Zuxin, the former prison officer of Jiangdao Prison, along with several prison officers and the squad leader, watched the official ship coming from the Jiuweng Bridge Ferry, and rushed to the simple pier on the north bank to wait for them.

It was also Xiao Xuanchou who was afraid that he would not be able to return to the city before dark, so he sent Lin Fu to the island, and was anxious to return.

It is said that the former prison officer Ge Zuxin should stay on the island for a few more days, and then leave the island after the handover with Lin Fu is clear. It's just that Ge Zuxin will go back to his hometown to retire directly after he resigns. There is no need to curry favor with anyone. Maybe there are some people who have ulterior motives to provoke him. He and Lin Fu only made a simple handover. The long-packed luggage is going to be boarded.

Ge Zuxin, who was born in Juren, spent a lot of money to fill the vacancy of the prison officer in Jiangdao prison nine years ago. He thought that this place was comparable to the fat shortage of the prison officer in the city. How could he have thought of the Jiangning Criminal Department, Jiangning House and Jiangdong Province. The proposal of the prison city requested by the Secretary was categorically rejected by the center? In the past few years, the people who have been sent to Jiangdao Prison to be imprisoned are poor ghosts who have no money to launder their crimes. These poor ghosts covet the island and still have two meals. Open the prison door so that they can't escape, and how many more can there be? Bronze search? However, Jiangdao prison is facing the sky, and the responsibility of guarding against bandits and theft is particularly serious. There have been some problems in recent years, but finally the police officer is sympathetic to the difficulties here~www.wuxiax.com~ There is no accountability. .

Ge Zuxin was full of remorse and resentment, and wished he had left this ghost place one day earlier. After Lin Fu went to the island, he didn't want to stay for a moment. He cried and begged Xiao Xuanchou to allow him to leave the island today. He was a little more anxious, and seeing that Lin Fu had no opinion, he took him to leave the island by boat.

Lin Fu and Zhao Hu stood in front of the simple pier, watching Xiao Xuanchou's official boat sailing into the mouth of Jinchuan River, then turned around and looked at the group of prison guards and class leaders standing behind them, cupped their hands and said, "In the future, Lin Bound is about to help you all in the same boat - I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with the task of running the prison. Everyone should perform their duties according to the old rules. If something goes wrong, I can't escape, and you can't do it either... It's getting late today, I'll talk about it tomorrow morning." After all, he walked straight to the high gate directly west of the prison, regardless of the fact that the sun was hanging in the sky for a long time before it was dark.

Although Jiangdao Prison is only more than ten miles away from Jiangning City, it hangs outside the city. If it is not necessary, the guards and prison guards rarely leave the island. Only when the prisoners are sent over by the yamen can they have the opportunity to deal with the outside world. It is not clear what the background of this new young boss is.

These prison guards and class leaders were not sure about the temper of the new boss, and they didn't say much. After hearing the new boss say that everything was business as usual, they followed him back to the prison.
