Great Blue Night Watchman

Lin Su smiled faintly: Master Li, as the head of the shop, is obviously well versed in the law. I have a question for you. How does the Da Cang Official Regulations determine the congratulations on concubines?

Li Yueran's expression changed slightly.

Everyone's expressions also changed.

The official regulations of Da Cang clearly stipulate that those who get married will be congratulated by relatives and friends. Officials cannot congratulate those who take concubines by mistake.

What does it mean to congratulate someone by mistake?

This means: You are not allowed to congratulate during working hours!

I don't care if you go play with others all night after work, but during working hours, you are not allowed to congratulate other officials on taking concubines! The promulgation of this law was also a last resort. In this era, officials were allowed to take concubines, and some officials even took a lot of concubines, one a year, one a month.

If everyone goes to have fun when taking concubines, and there are hundreds of officials in the same yamen, you take one and I take another (in these bastard days, women are very cheap, you can buy one with a few taels of silver, and officials don’t exist) I can’t afford it), then there is really a wedding banquet every day, and it’s such a crappy job?

Although the regulations for officials are there, after all, the officialdom is not monolithic. Just like the prohibition on alcohol in modern society, doesn't it happen that special things are often done? Therefore, when officials congratulate others on taking concubines, no one will take it seriously. If they are happy, they will laugh it off.

This is exactly what happened today. It was illegal for Nanshan Mansion officials to attend King Lu's concubine banquet, but no one took it seriously.

Li Yueran's expression froze: Although the official regulations come first, Prince Lu Yang is the prince after all. If he takes a concubine, it would be inconsistent with etiquette if he doesn't leave. The etiquette says...

Lin Su raised his hand to interrupt him: Master Li knows etiquette well?

Li Yueran said: I dare not... I only know a little about etiquette and law...

Okay! Since you understand etiquette, from today on, you can go to the ceremony room and take up the post of fifth-grade deacon! Lin Su held his hands together, and the official seal of the prefect in his palm shone brightly. At the same time, the official seal in Li Yueran's arms moved by itself. Jumping up, from the fifth-grade official seal, the original word Puchang changed to Li, and the rank changed from Zuo Si to a gray Zhi!

The whole court was shaken...

The dignified Zuosi was directly wiped out and relegated to the lowest level of officials as a deacon - when he went down to the lower level, he was no longer called an official, but a clerk!

This is Lin Su's revenge!

When he came to Nanshan Mansion, the chief executive was absent from the executive department to welcome the chief officials. The officials had already thought that Lin Su was unhappy and might use some means to attack the chief executive. However, they never expected that this method would be so serious. Definitely, the deputy chief of Nanshan Mansion's shop, just fuck him to the end!

Li Yueran's whole body was shocked: Master Fu Zun, you...

Lin Su raised his palms again: Master Li, do I have the power to adjust your work?

Li Yueran had black lines running across his face and was speechless.

Lin Su had no right to change the official grade (the decision-making power of official grade rested with Zhongshu Province), but he could not change the official grade.

As the head of a government, Lin Su naturally has the right to adjust the work positions of his subordinates. Therefore, he directly adjusted the head of the shop, Zuosi, to Zhi. What is Zhi? Execution too! I retain your official position, but you are no longer a decision-making official, only an execution official.

There are few officials who are so decisive.

Everyone has seen Nanshan today!

Lin Su's eyes moved to He Xingong: Master He, please urge me again!

So the second government order was issued.

This order was issued, and there was another commotion among the Nanshan Mansion officials who attended the banquet of King Lu Yang, but Du Tiangao smiled: Haha, that little guy is anxious. With only one sentence, he put the official seal in his arms and ignored it again.

King Lu Yang made a toast, officially opening the banquet.

While the banquet was in full swing, the disappointing government order came for the third time. The wording was already very harsh, but all the officials raised their glasses and congratulated King Lu...

In Nanshan Mansion, the sun was setting, and a dozen people stood alone in the huge mansion, all feeling the smell of an approaching storm.

Li Yueran is the only exception.

He stood at the outermost edge, no longer looking at Lin Su, he was looking at the horizon.

Today you wipe my official position. This is in the palace. I dare not say anything. However, how many days can you sit in this palace? When Mr. Du comes back, you will know that Nanshan Mansion is not your decision at all!

The setting sun gradually sinks into the mountain tops.

The lanterns of Nanshan Mansion are starting to come on.

In the mansion, more than ten people were still standing upright, and Lin Su was still waiting upright.

In the backyard of the magistrate, several girls also looked at each other.

The food and wine have been prepared, but the adults have not left the table.

Yuan Ji could only temporarily act as the head of the prefect's backyard, and gave instructions to the girls and servants: Just wait.

She was also uneasy inside...

Although she is not a member of the officialdom, now, she has also felt the harshness of the officialdom. She also knows that in the first battle today, she must fight well, otherwise, he will be unable to move forward in Nanshan Mansion.

It's completely dark!

Finally, the torches lit up at the gate of the city, and a long queue came slowly. It was the officials of Nanshan Prefecture returning to the government office after having had enough wine and food.

A group of government officials led the way, and a group of government officials followed behind. There were more than forty officials in the middle, walking towards the government office in unison, without any intention of being in a hurry.

When they arrived at the entrance of the government office, their steps became more urgent. Du Tiangao took the lead and entered the government hall at the same time.

Above the mansion, Lin Su raised his eyes and stared at the person in the front, Du Tiangao, a powerful figure in Nanshan Mansion. He had been a chief minister and had been promoted to a fourth-grade official position. What was special about him was that he had taken over him. The predecessor of Cao Zhifu, how could a fourth-grade official be able to completely ignore the fourth-grade prefect?

First, he is a local and has been in business for decades in the officialdom.

Secondly, he is also the father-in-law of Cao Fang, the magistrate of Zhongzhou!

This father-in-law is very cheap, how cheap is it? It was done overnight. Four years ago, when Cao Fang was inspecting Nanshan, Du Tiangao invited him to his home and asked his daughter to toast Cao Fang with only a few clothes on. Word spread that Master Zhizhou was Master Du's father-in-law. Du Tiangao did not deny the rumor, so in the officialdom, he began to play both sides...

These are all the information collected by Anxiang.

Lin Su looked at the fat middle-aged man trotting over in front of him without any reaction...

A smile appeared on Du Tiangao's face, and he ran down the hall at a trot: Your Excellency has arrived, and my subordinate is late. I am guilty...

Lin Su raised his hand and interrupted on the spot: You also know that you are guilty? Where is the crime?

Du Tiangao and all the officials behind him were all stunned. What Du Tiangao just said was nothing more than official clichés. You still have to ask clearly?

Lin Su said word by word: Du Tiangao, I want to ask you, where is your crime?

As soon as his voice reached a high pitch, it suddenly became powerful, and the courtroom buzzed.

Du Tiangao's expression changed: Mr. Lin, today's facts are special. King Lu Yang is happy to take a concubine today. As a local official, he has to give the prince a face, so...

Lin Su stood up slowly: It is King Lu Yang's business to take concubines. It is a violation of official regulations for officials to congratulate them when they are on duty! I have issued the official order three times in a row, but you have refused to implement it. This is a violation of the official regulations. The provisions of Article 213, Paragraph 3 of the Regulations on Da Cang Officials! Congratulations to Xin Palace!

Here! He Xingong stepped forward.

Mark it down! Lin Su said: These 46 people in the audience have violated the Official Regulations of Da Cang. In accordance with the regulations of the Official Regulations, our government has sealed them with official seals, and all of them have been sent to the ceremony room as 'executives'!

As soon as the voice fell, his official seal of the prefect suddenly flew up. Above the court hall, there was a golden light. All the official seals of the 46 people in the audience changed at the same time. It doesn't matter whether you are the chief minister, the left minister or the right minister, and it doesn't matter whether you are the prefect official. , he is still the magistrate of a county. On the official seal, there is the word Li, and all the subsequent positions are Zhi!

He Xingong's whole body was shaken wildly.

He knew Lin Su well, and he knew something big would happen today, but he still didn't expect it would be so big.

In just one sentence, the 46 real-power officials who stomped the entire Nanshan Prefecture were dismissed en masse, leaving no one behind!

Including the invisible No. 1 Du Tiangao who currently has the most power in Nanshan Prefecture and is even more powerful than the prefect!

As a result, the entire Nanshan Mansion almost became an empty mansion!

The 46 people below were completely awake, looking at the gray word Zhi on their official seals as if they were in a dream.

The seven county magistrates were completely dumbfounded. They were the chief officials of a county, officially appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. How much money did they give away to get the position of chief officials of the county? How many people did you ask for? Just because of a drink?

Li Jiang, the criminal secretary, held the official seal with his hands shaking desperately: Sir, I know I was wrong!

As soon as he said these words, everyone in the place woke up at the same time and stepped forward: Sir, I know I was wrong!

A bunch of people even knelt down.

The group of people who survived looked at each other in shock.

When things get to this point, it's a big showdown!

But this is what officialdom is like. A new official has to establish his prestige when he takes office, and to establish his prestige, he also has to control the heat. To sum up, in one sentence: it's almost done. In their minds, Lin Su would just give up and open his door to the prefecture with the awe of the officials.

However, Lin Su was destined to be unexpected: Just admit your mistake! Go to the ceremony room!

The words cold completely cut off everyone's hope.

Everyone turned their attention to Du Tiangao.

Mr. Du, you have to make the decision for your subordinate...

Du Tiangao held the official seal, his beard and eyebrows twitched, and he slowly raised his head: Master Lin, do you really want to be so determined?

What? You don't accept it? Lin Su said coldly: Sorry, you have to hold it in if you don't accept it! Nanshan Mansion, I am the master!

Du Tiangao rolled his eyes: Lin Su, you want to establish your authority when you first arrive in Nanshan? Who do you think you are?

As soon as he finished speaking, the official seal in Lin Su's hand suddenly glowed with golden light, and with a bang, it fell from the sky, pressing Du Tiangao firmly to the ground...

Those who insult the superior officer will be punished with thirty sticks! Lin Su shouted: Where is the arrest? Execution!

Li Xinwei, the catcher below, took a step forward and said, Sir, please calm down. It's understandable that all of you have missed your welcome today. Mr. Lin has taken office as a new official and wants to establish his authority. All of you know this, but you still can't. Please be patient.

He Xingong's expression changed drastically!

The prefect gave the order, but he refused to obey!

The head arrest represents the force system. If the force system does not obey the official authority, the problem will be serious. If it's in the court, it's called rebellion; if it's in the army, it's called mutiny; if it's in the court, it's probably called a political coup!

When the conflict reaches this point, it is truly irreconcilable.

And when the prefect reaches this point, he basically cannot go any further, because it means the complete loss of his authority.

Lin Su stared at Li Xinwei: I ordered you to execute the sentence, but I didn't ask you to defend him.

Li Xinwei said: Master Lin came to Nanshan for the first time and knows nothing about the situation. I think it is better to listen to the opinions of the adults!

You're not going to execute me? Lin Su's voice suddenly dropped.

Your Majesty...

Lin Su suddenly stepped in front of him, stretched out his hand, and took a staff from the person behind him...

If you don't carry out the execution, I will!

His hand suddenly raised...
