There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 258 Cooking Oil on Fire
Another point is that under normal circumstances, if you want to study "Guozi Studies", the student's father must be in the third rank to be eligible!

Looking at the imperial court, how many third-grade officials are there?

How many of the children of third-rank official families are of the right age to go to school?

In short, the talented people of the Su family have greatly embarrassed the Su family.

This is an unprecedented blessing for the Su family since the general decline of aristocratic families!
Therefore, the head of the Su family and the clan elders decided to welcome him out of the house in person to show their importance.

……

Soon, the talented man from the Su family arrived, and he returned to the mansion surrounded by the enthusiastic head of the Su family and elders.

Today, the Su family held a grand banquet and invited guests. It was noon, and the head of the Su family smiled and ordered the banquet to begin.

Just now.

A servant suddenly ran to the flower hall where the banquet was held.

The boy ran and shouted:
"Master of the family, master of the family, the young Sikou of the Prison Department is about to visit..."

"..."

When the boy shouted, the whole flower hall suddenly fell into silence.

Department of Prisons?
The reputation of the Prison Department is not very good.

When people hear these three words, they think of "capture", "torture", "forced confession" and "beheading"!
Today is a happy day for the Su family, but the Prison Department unexpectedly came to visit...

The people of the Su family felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and a chill hit their foreheads, especially the head of the Su family, who looked majestic and had sharp eyes, and he almost fell over.

The guests who came to Su's house raised their brows when they heard this, and their faces were not very good-looking. If they had known this, they would not have come.

Because the Prison Department doesn't care whether you are a guest or not. We must first arrest you and put you in jail together.

The Prison Department's prison is easy to get in, but you have to shed your skin to get out, even if you are innocent...

"Patriarch, Patriarch!"

In the whole flower hall, only the boy was moving and shouting.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the sound and found that the boy seemed to be holding a... greeting card?
"Master, this is a greeting card from Young Sikou of the Criminal and Prison Department. Young Sikou sent someone to inform him that he will be arriving soon!" The boy handed over the greeting card with both hands.

The head of the Su family suddenly came to his senses, took it blankly, and then looked at the greeting card blankly.

After a while, the head of the Su family had finished reading the invitation and said with trembling hands:

"Young Sikou of the Department of Punishment and Prison...comes to congratulate me! And Young Sikou deigns to come in person!"

"..."

The flower hall was quiet for a while.

Everyone looked at each other.

Some can't believe it.

So the Prison Department is not here to arrest people?

But Daoxi?

What do you say?

Everyone with puzzled expressions unanimously focused their attention on the talented man from the Su family.

Yup!

The Su family's talented students passed five levels and killed six generals, and took the "Leap Level Examination". They passed from "Four Studies" to "Tai Xue", and from "Tai Xue" to "Guo Zi Xue"...

This impressive record is truly astonishing. Isn’t this a happy event?

However, while everyone felt relieved, they also had a little doubt——

Although this is a happy event, what does it have to do with the Department of Prisons?

And let Shao Sikou pay a visit in person?
That's Shao Sikou!
He is a big shot that everyone in the Su family and the guests need to look up to...

In the end, he paid a visit in person for a talented person from the Su family!
Everyone was confused for a while, and a guest suddenly slapped his forehead, seeming to remember something. He trotted up to the bewildered Su family talent and bowed respectfully:

"Su Caizi, congratulations, congratulations!"

"..."

Everyone present was confused again.

But the guest did not give them time to react, and bowed to the head of the Su family:
"Head of the Su family, congratulations, congratulations, from now on the Su family will be united with the Prison Department, so that others can be envious!"

"When the Su family rises in the future, don't forget to wait for me!"

"..."

The head of the Su family hurriedly helped the man up, his majestic old face full of doubts, and asked: "Zhang Lingshi, why is this? Why are my Su family and the Prison Department united? I hope Qi will make it clear!"

Zhang Lingshi said: "I am dissatisfied with the head of the Su family. Just yesterday, I heard a junior official who was working in the Prison Department mention that Shao Si Kou personally arranged the east courtyard in order to welcome the 'five arrests' of the Prison Department." s arrival!"

"..."

While everyone was digesting these words, Zhang Lingshi looked at the Su family talent again, smiled and bowed:
"Congratulations to the Su family's talented man. He has won the respect of the Young Secretary Kou and entered the Prison Department to serve as the 'Five Chiefs'. From now on, the 'Five Chiefs' will have great power. Don't forget to wait for me!"

"Zhang Lingshi, I'm..." The Su family's talented man's face turned red, and he was excited and worried at the same time.For a moment I didn't know what to say.

At this time, all the guests reacted.

They rushed forward together, bowed together and said:

"Congratulations to the head of the Su family! Congratulations to the talented Su family for being promoted to the 'Five Chiefs' of the Prison Department... From now on, the 'Five Chiefs' must not forget that I am waiting for you!"

"..."

Facing the bows of all the guests, the talented man of the Su family was speechless.

But on a green and red face, there was always a smile that couldn't help but bloom.

The Department of Punishments and Prisons is a privileged yamen.

Moreover, Shao Sikou personally came to invite him... This kind of honor can knock people unconscious.

At this time, the head of the Su family realized,
He laughed heartily, looked at the talented man from the Su family and said:

"Yes, that's right. A talented person from my Su family passed the exam from the 'Four Subjects' to the 'Guozixue' in one fell swoop. He is the No. 1 student after Her Majesty the Queen's decree. You are the first to do it!"

"Such a great talent, I don't want to alert the Chief of Prison Department, Young Sikou, and grant you the position of 'Five Catchers', and I even bothered Young Sikou to come and invite you personally..."

"..."

The head of the Su family's face glowed red.

Although he is old, he is full of energy.

That majestic old face was full of pride and pride.

It was as if the Su family had restored its previous glory.

In fact, there are three reasons why they think this way:

First, the talented man from the Su family is really great, even Her Majesty the Queen has praised him.Therefore, Shao Sikou's "move" makes sense.

This is the principle of what goes up and works down.

Secondly, the head of the Su family and everyone in the Su family are extremely proud of the fact that the talented students of the Su family have been admitted to the "Guozixue". This pride reminds them of the glory of the aristocratic family in the past.

In the past, the aristocratic families were very powerful, but in front of them, the young Sikou of the Prison Department was just a nobody...

Thirdly, although the Criminal and Prison Department is a yamen that handles cases, it also recruits catchers who don't know how to investigate cases. For example, Jiang Hanwen, the current fourth catcher, is good at copywriting.

When Shaosikou recruited Jiang Hanwen, he could be said to be a "courteous and virtuous corporal".

There is precedent for this.

……

The head of the Su family, whose face was glowing with excitement, couldn't help but teach the Su family's talented people in public:

"Although you have the reputation of being a talented man, you are not as good as outsiders as a prison officer. You should be careful in your words and deeds, learn more and do more, and you should not be arrogant because of your talent. Do you understand?"

The excitement on the Su family's young face was still there, and he bowed after hearing the words:
"Patriarch, please rest assured!"

"Ah."

The head of the Su family nodded slowly, his back straight.

At this time, another boy ran into the flower hall, shouting as he ran:

"Master of the family, master of the family... The East Palace sent someone to send an invitation. The head of the East Palace, Shi, has been ordered by the prince to pay a visit. He will be here soon..."

"..."
