Dali Temple is located between Shichahai and the Imperial City, facing the downtown area to the south and surrounded by water to the northwest. Therefore, people in the temple always use the corner gate on the east side for convenience.

However, Chen Zhao has taken office now and is the dignified second-in-command, so he cannot enter or exit through the corner door.

So early in the morning, a dozen officials and government servants stood at the east street entrance, leaning on their necks and staring. Whenever they saw the carriages and horses of wealthy people, they would greet them with saliva on their faces.

In this way, in line with the principle of killing without mercy, no one knows how many misunderstandings have arisen because of this. The faces of the first few subordinates were stunned when they smiled, but they still did not dare to relax at all.

After all, the shadow of a famous tree is also a new scholar. Chen Zhao is not one of those weak scholars, but a famous quiet tiger. Even the gang of Jinyiwei fans who are rampant in the market have been kneaded into dough by him. If he really neglects him

, I’m afraid I don’t know how I died.

Dali Temple is a judicial institution, not a group of military soldiers like Jin Yiwei, so Chen Zhao did not show any prestige.

But instead of riding a horse like before, he came to Dali Temple in a carriage.

First, Master Cheng Rixing went over and negotiated the reception, and soon two officials came to pay their respects.

"The Prime Minister of the Zuo Temple, Yu Huaide, / Haigang, the principal king of the Zuo Temple, led the entire Zuo Temple to welcome you to the Yamen.

Chen Zhao opened the car curtain and saw two officials and a group of subordinate staff bowing to greet him.

He immediately smiled and jumped off the carriage easily. Huaide and Wang Haigang helped him up first, and then he held his hands to the others and said with a smile: "My lords, please rise quickly. I have always been informal about etiquette. As long as it is out of public interest, there are no taboos -

After I have been an official for a long time, you will know my temper."

Even though he said it was gentle and gentle, no one really dared to be "inappropriate" and obeyed his orders honestly. Then, like stars holding the moon, Chen Zhao was welcomed into Dali Temple.

When they arrived at Zuo Shaoqing's exclusive courtyard, everyone greeted him one by one.

The number of officials under Zuo Shaoqing's name may not be greater than that of Jin Yiwei Tongzhi, but those with official rank are far beyond them.

The leader is naturally Yu Huaide, the Prime Minister of Zuosi Temple.

Further down are the principal Wang Haigang of Zuosi Temple of the sixth rank, the deputy of Zuosi Temple of the sixth rank, two chief judges of the seventh rank, and four secretaries of the ninth rank.

After the long list of official titles and names were introduced, and everyone reported their original errands, it had already taken half an hour.

Chen Zhao spoke some friendly Mandarin again, and was about to ask where the experience department that specializes in document sealing was located, so that he could go and formally verify his official status in person.

Then a young official in green robe stepped in and said respectfully: "Sir Lan Yongli, who has a humble job and has met you, has already prepared your seal. When will it be convenient for you to check it?"

Tsk tsk, this situation is changing, thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi.

I remember that when Chen Zhao took office in Lin Ruhai's territory, a mere experienced officer of the Salt Patrol Yamen would dare to shame him. But now, everyone in Dali Temple is fearful and fearful of leaving a bad impression in front of him.

The reason is of course not because Chen Zhao is a new scholar, but because of the reputation of the "Quiet Street Tiger" of fellow intellectuals Jinyiwei!

Of course, no matter what, the Dali Temple Yamen is also a powerful department of the imperial court. Chen Zhao will not think that just because he has dealt with the Jin Yiwei, he has just arrived and is following his words.

After passing through the scene and verifying his identity, he stood up and confessed to everyone: "My lords, if you have any official business, you may as well go and be busy first. I will allow you to pay homage to Lord Tingwei, and then I will come and ask for your advice."

Tingwei is the honorific title given to the Minister of Dali Temple, just like the Minister of the Ministry of War is revered as Da Sima.

Amid the voices of "dare not" and surrounded by people walking in the aisles, Chen Zhao led Huaide out of the left temple and went straight to the main hall in the middle.

"Hahaha……"

The time was just right. As soon as Chen Zhao walked to the steps, he heard a hearty laughter coming from inside. Before the laughter stopped, two red-robed officials came out to greet him.

The first person was tall, with a round face, bright eyes, and a short beard. He was Zhou Tingdong, the young minister of Dali Temple.

As for the elegant middle-aged man behind him who slowed down a little, he must be Cao Shizeng, the Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Zhou Tingdong hurriedly walked down the steps and held his hands first and said: "I have seen Chen Shaoqing in the imperial city before, but I didn't expect that you and I would be officials together today. It's really fate!"

Chen Zhao hurriedly returned the gift and said with a smile: "Lord Tingwei is joking. You have been in charge of the world's prison litigation for five years, reviewing cases and redressing unjust imprisonment. You are known as 'Zhou Qingtian'. Chen is a junior scholar, so you can

It's a great honor to work with you."

After saying that, he raised his hand to Cao Shizeng and said, "Is this Cao Shaoqing? I have heard for a long time that 'no one is more proficient in laws and regulations in the world than Cao Shizeng'. Chen, a new scholar, was suddenly promoted to a high-level position. I am afraid that I will have to ask Cao Shaoqing for more advice in the future."

"

When Chen Zhao was doing salt administration in Yangzhou, he dealt with the Ministry of Household Affairs. When he went to the capital to rectify the Jinyiwei, he was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, so he never had to deal with the judicial organs.

The words "He has been in charge of the world's prison litigation for more than five years" and "There is no one more skilled than Cao Shizeng". These are all the news I got from Cheng Riching a few days ago while sharpening his guns in battle.

Although he had a look of admiration on his face, he actually didn't care much in his heart.

"Don't dare."

Master Cao Zeng smiled as warmly as jade and said politely: "Cao is just a rotten scholar who picks up chapters and sentences. How can he live up to the prestigious reputation of "fighting for salt merchants and settling down in the market"."

hehe……

I'll just pretend that I can't hear your sourness and treat you as being humble.

Of course, Chen Zhao also knew that Master Cao was once a technocrat and was not very familiar with the world of people and courtesy, so there was no need to worry.

As for how he climbed to such a high position as You Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it is easy to understand.

They all go to build relationships, so they have to do something after all!

Then Cao Shizeng was revealed.

After greeting each other, Zhou Tingdong asked Chen Zhao to speak inside.

…

Chen Zhao began to work as a special newcomer to Dali Temple.

After just a few days of study and understanding, Chen Zhao basically understood the specific functions of Dali Temple and all the matters involved.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Speaking of which, Dali Temple is specially responsible for the review of prison cases.

Under normal circumstances, the Ministry of Punishment is responsible for hearing cases, and Dali Temple is responsible for review.

However, this was Cao Shizeng's job. As Zuo Shaoqing, Chen Zhao was responsible for reviewing long-standing corruption cases.

How should I put it? In Chen Zhao's opinion, the official documents of Dali Temple are too simple and rough. All the matters involved in the case are basically only briefly recorded on a few thin pieces of paper. As for the specific reasons and motives, etc.

None, it’s as simple as the briefings of later generations.

This is just bad!

Dali Temple has the final authority to review the case. With such a simple case file, how do you know whether it was a miscarriage of justice or a miscarriage of justice? The integrity of the local government is really hard to reassure people.

Chen Zhao has lived in the world for a long time and has heard and seen too many cases of officials protecting each other and collusion between the government and local forces. Cases like this involving human lives cannot be taken too seriously, right?

So he summoned Zuo Shaoqing's officials and began to seriously discuss how to deal with related cases.

As a famous quiet tiger, Chen Zhao behaved in a gentle and gentle manner during this period. He quickly wiped away the fear of the officials below and easily conquered them.

It was different with the help of his younger brother. He quickly sorted out the work of Dali Temple and easily established a foothold in Dali Temple.

…

But it was said that it was a day off from bathing, and the spring rain was continuous, and Chen Zhao received Xue Pan's message.

Since that day when he attended Jia Lian's banquet, Xue Pan bowed to Chen Zhao and kowtowed again. He just hugged Chen Zhao's thighs and cried, calling him his younger brother.

After all, he is Xue Baochai's brother. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, Chen Zhao will naturally not do anything to him.

If this guy is really motivated, Chen Zhao won't be stingy.

But the name Xue Pan, the "Stupid Overlord" has spread throughout the capital. Who knows how popular he has been for a few hours?

But today is the holiday anyway, so luckily I got to drink and have fun with Daibawang.

Anyway, the dudes headed by Xue Pan really know how to eat and play.

The place where Xue Pan entertained guests was called Yuelaixuan.

It must have been developed by the Yuelai Inn chain.

We drove all the way to Yuelaixuan. As soon as we stood at the door, we heard the clanging of the pipa in the courtyard, mixed with the patter of autumn rain. It didn't seem chaotic at all, but added a bit of lingering feeling.

Even in the capital, he is considered highly skilled.

And it seems a bit familiar.

It should be Yun'er from Jinxiangyuan.

After the song ended, he laughed loudly and entered the courtyard: "You guys are really in a good mood. Listening to this song in this rainy day, you are really happy and contented, quite free and easy."

Amidst the laughter, Xue Pan, Jia Lian, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and an unknown young master stood up together.

The young man had a handsome face and was dressed in white, and he seemed to have the demeanor of a good young man from a troubled world.

It's just that his demeanor is not as free and easy as Feng Ziying's.

Xue Pan smiled and said: "Brother Zishang is a distinguished guest. We all came here early to wait for you, a big shot of the fourth rank."

While talking, Xue Pan, Jia Lian, Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun, as well as the young master, and Yun'er who put away the pipa, all saluted Chen Zhao.

Everyone laughed happily and entered the pavilion to sit down at the table.

During this period, Feng Ziying pointed at the strange young master and said: "Brother Chen, this is Wei Ruolan, the prince of Wing Chun Hou. I have heard of your name for a long time. I am destined to come here today and pester me to come and pay my respects."

Wei Ruolan looked at Wen Wen, but he was a bold man no less than Feng Ziying. He took the initiative to pick up a glass of wine and said, "I would like to offer a glass of wine to Brother Chen."

After speaking, drink it all in one gulp.

Others burst out laughing.
