Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 30 I Am Not Xu Zhiqiong
At Xu time, that is, at seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Zhiqiong and other eleven newcomers, dressed in neat robes of killing students, came to the Lantern Yamen.

The Lantern Yamen is next to the main hall of the Imperial City Department. The Imperial City Department and the Imperial Palace are separated by a street, which belongs to the most prosperous area in the capital.

Right now the gate of Sizheng Hall in the Imperial City is closed, the camp of Wuwei Camp is also closed, and the Zhulou of Tsing Yi Pavilion is also closed. The gate of the Lantern Yamen is open and brightly lit.

A lantern-bearer in white walked up to the couple and shouted, "Stand up, click!"

All the officials in charge of the lantern yamen, no matter how big or small, even including Wu Xu, have a unified title, called Lantern Lang.

Lantern bearers are divided into four classes, the first class is called Red Lantern Lang, the second class is called Green Lantern Lang, the third class is called Green Lantern Lang, and the fourth class is White Lantern Lang.

The man in white in front of him is the lowest rank among Lantern Lang.

The rank is low, and it is also an official, and Bai Denglang is a ninth-rank official.

Although Xu Zhiqiong is a newcomer, he is also the white lamp man in charge of the lamp yamen, so now he has the official status of the ninth rank.

Bai Denglang took out the roster and began to roll the rolls. The first was Xu Zhiqiong, and the second was Chu He.

The third person is Wu Chunyang. This person has an unusual background. His father is the prefect of Luzhou and a fourth-rank official. Among the newcomers in charge of the lamp yamen, Wu Chunyang has the most prominent background.

Although his background was prominent, Wu Chunyang's father was not a Beijing official.

Wu Chunyang also just came to the capital. Although he is a Ninth-Rank Killer, he is not a student of Wu Che Academy. The martial artist his father hired for him in Luzhou trained him to be a middle-ranker Ninth-Rank.

Through the selection of scholars, Wu Chunyang and this group of newcomers entered the Yamen in charge of lamps.

Since he is not a student of the Academy, why can he participate in the selection of the Royal Academy?

Xu Zhiqiong didn't know, and didn't want to ask, he only knew that foreign officials were much richer than Beijing officials, especially high officials like the magistrate.

The temperament of this party member is very obvious in Wu Chunyang.

According to the order of the order, everyone stood in a row and followed Bai Denglang into the Lantern Yamen.

The Lantern Yamen is very large, with a front yard, a main yard, a back yard, and east and west yards... There are twelve yards in total.

Chu He excitedly said to Xu Zhiqiong, "This is the first time I have entered the Yamen."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Who is not the first time!"

Common people, if they hadn't been involved in a lawsuit, no one would have entered the Yamen.

Seeing that everything around him was fresh, Chu He wanted to say a few more words to Xu Zhiqiong, but Wu Chunyang pushed him from behind.

"Go faster, what are you dawdling for?"

Chu He frowned and looked back at Wu Chunyang.

Wu Chunyang's eyes showed a fierce look; "What do you see?"

Wu Chunyang grew up in Luzhou. Although he was not the eldest son of the magistrate, since his father became the magistrate of Luzhou, no one in Luzhou dared to look directly at him except his parents and elder brother.

Chu He clenched his fists, Xu Zhiqiong held Chu He back and blinked at him.

On the first day of work, you can't make trouble.

Walking to the warehouse in the west courtyard, Bai Denglang raised his hand and said, "Wang Denglang and Shi Denglang are waiting for you inside. Go in and get your clothes, sabers, lanterns, and quilts."

After speaking, Bai Denglang left.

It's less than [-] meters away from the warehouse, and they have been brought into the yard, why not take them to the door?
Lazy feet?Don't want to take the extra steps?

Xu Zhiqiong peeked at Bai Denglang, and that Bai Denglang looked back at him slightly.

There was a weird smile on his face.

Bai Denglang walked away, but this smile touched some memories of Xu Zhiqiong.

Old employees bully new employees.

Old seniors bully new students.

I have seen many such things in previous lives.

To deal with such people, Xu Zhiqiong has two principles, one is not to overestimate their IQ, and the other is not to underestimate their viciousness.

While thinking about it, he heard Wu Chunyang urging behind him: "Why are you deaf? Let you go faster!"

Chu He was furious, and was about to turn around, but Xu Zhiqiong staggered and fell to the ground. Chu He was bumped by Xu Zhiqiong, his feet were unstable, and he was also tripped to the ground, and accidentally stepped on Wu Chun Yang kicked.

"Are you blind?" Wu Chunyang looked at the mud print on the shoe, gritted his teeth and said, "If it wasn't in the yamen, I would have let you lick it clean."

Chu He was about to get up, but was held tightly by Xu Zhiqiong.

Wu Chunyang bypassed Chu He, pushed the door open and entered the warehouse, but suddenly felt his foot tripped and fell to the ground.

This fell hard, broke his face, and hurt his hands.

There was a burst of laughter from the warehouse, and Bai Denglang Wang Shijie looked at the boy lying on the ground and asked, "Are you Xu Zhiqiong?"

Wu Chunyang fell into a daze and didn't speak for a long time.

Wang Shijie stepped forward and patted Wu Chunyang's face, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you have a great talent? How about anger to help the tiger? I don't think this talent is very good!
Not to mention talent, do you understand the rules?Knock first when entering a house, do you understand? "

While speaking, Wang Shijie kept patting Wu Chunyang's face, and Wu Chunyang opened Wang Shijie's hand.

Wang Shijie spat on Wu Chunyang's face: "Aren't you crazy!" After speaking, he patted his chest.

Just as Wu Chunyang was about to speak, he was suffocated by the heel again, lying on the ground and coughing non-stop.

Wang Shijie pointed to Wu Chunyang, and said to the crowd: "You have entered the Lantern Yamen today, and you have to learn the rules of the Yamen in the future. Although you are all white lantern men, I am not of the same generation as you. When I am on duty, what the hell are you doing?" Can't pee standing up!
From now on, you have to remember one thing, what I say is the same as what you Lao Tzu said, and you will do what I tell you honestly!I don't care what your origins are, if it's a tiger lying on my stomach, or a dragon coiling up for me, I've learned the rules, whoever dares to bark their teeth in front of me, Xu Zhiqiong will be punished! "

Wu Chunyang said with trembling voice: "I'm not..."

"You fucking dare to talk!" Wang Shijie kicked Wu Chunyang again.

There is also a white lamp man in the warehouse, named Shi Chuan, who is the younger brother of General Shi Xun of Wuwei.

Shi Chuan walked up to the crowd and said with a smile: "Everyone, Brother Wang just said the rules of the yamen, it's for your own good, you are used to being arrogant in the academy, you are not allowed to be unrestrained in the yamen,
We are your elders in the yamen, our words may be harsh, but we won’t harm you, Xu Zhiqiong, get up, remember the lesson from this time, and learn the rules well in the future. "

Wu Chunyang stood up slowly, gasped for a while and said, "I'm not Xu Zhiqiong."

Shi Chuan blinked for a long time and asked, "Are you..."

"My name is Wu Chunyang."

Shi Chuan was taken aback, and Wang Shijie was also a little nervous.

"Who is Wu Chunyang?"

Shi Chuan looked down at the roster, and whispered to Wang Shijie, "The son of the prefect of Luzhou."

"What the hell..." Wang Shijie looked up at the crowd and said, "Which one is Xu Zhiqiong?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled innocently and said, "It's me."

"You, what are you, what's going on, you..."

Wang Shijie wanted to ask why Xu Zhiqiong didn't come in first, but it seemed inappropriate to ask.

Xu Zhiqiong thought to himself: Why did he target me?
Yu Shan asked him to do this?

It should not be.

Although Yu Shan does things viciously, he has a very strong purpose. He asked Liu De'an to beat me up at the beginning, in order to gather Yuandan and make things difficult for me in the final exam, in order to completely abolish my reputation.

Now hire a lantern bearer just to beat me up?The investment and return are obviously not proportional, which is obviously not Yu Shan's style of doing things.

And Yu Shan is very cautious in doing things. This Bai Denglang named Wang Shijie doesn't know me at all, so he dares to hit someone rashly. Yu Shan will not be so reckless in his actions.

If it's not Yu Shan, what's the reason?
I have a grudge against this Wang Shijie?
Or is this Wang Shijie looking at me as a bully?

Xu Zhiqiong finally guessed right, Wang Shijie just thought he was easy to bully.

Wang Shijie has been working in the Lantern Yamen for more than ten years, and he has always been a white lamp man. He only has a cultivation base of the upper nine ranks, and there is basically no possibility of promotion.

As the oldest Bai Denglang, Wang Shijie's greatest pleasure every year is bullying newcomers.

Because he is at the bottom, he can't bully anyone except the rookies.

Wang Shijie was very experienced in torturing newcomers. If he wanted to intimidate newcomers, he had to take someone under his knife first.

But who is it suitable to fight?

Not everyone can afford it.

You shouldn't mess with a son like this magistrate's family.

A poor kid like Xu Zhiqiong who has no father or mother is the best candidate.

So he agreed with Bai Denglang outside the door to let Xu Zhiqiong go first.

Bullying newcomers is not only enjoyable, but also has many benefits, and the lantern man outside the door is also willing to cooperate with him.

It's just that I didn't expect it, this time I didn't teach Xu Zhiqiong a lesson, but beat the prefect Wu's son instead.

Wang Shijie was a bit embarrassed, turned his face away and didn't say a word, Shi Chuan hurried forward to help Wu Chunyang pat the dust, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang has no bad intentions, it's all for your own good, don't care, don't care... "

Wu Chunyang pushed Shi Chuan away, pointed at Wang Shijie and said, "Remember it!"

After speaking, he slammed the door and walked out of the Lantern Yamen.

Wang Shijie snorted coldly and said, "What are you crazy about? Do you think your father is a Beijing official?"

Even though his father is a fourth-rank magistrate, as long as he is not a Beijing official, there is really nothing to do with him as a little lantern man.

Xu Zhiqiong didn't know the reason, he was not in the mood to think about this issue for the time being, his attention was all on Wang Shijie.

This person is very special, he has a unique temperament, which deeply attracted Xu Zhiqiong.

After looking at it with the pupil of sin, the temperament is even more charming.

Wang Shijie waved his hand: "Come here and get your things!"

According to Lantern Lang's standard equipment, Xu Zhiqiong should be able to receive a Biao Chi Blade (saber), a white lantern, an official hat, two official robes and two pairs of boots.

But Xu Zhiqiong didn't receive a saber, neither did Chu He, nor did any of the rookies who came from ordinary backgrounds.

But Yang Wu has.

The official robe didn't fit well either. Xu Zhiqiong was eight feet tall ([-] meters), and when he wore the robe, it barely covered his knees, and the sleeves just reached his elbows.

It's fine if the robe is too small, and so are the shoes.

The most hateful thing was that Chu He's robe was about the same size as Xu Zhiqiong's, and the robe turned into a short skirt on him.

But Yang Wu's clothes fit well.

Although Yang Wu's father is an eighth-rank official, his status as a Beijing official is still useful...

Even so, Xu Zhiqiong was not angry, he still peeked at Wang Shijie from time to time.

The horn was at least four inches long.

Made a fortune this time.
