Chapter 22 Don't go to paint the boat, Zhao Wujiu
"Enter."
Hearing this cold tone, Zhao Cuo opened the door without changing his expression and glanced towards the room.
The first thing that appeared in his eyes was a man sitting in front of a desk full of files. He looked to be in his twenties, with a cold face that was somewhat handsome.
Young Master Zhao admitted that the chief was good-looking. Of course, there was still a slight gap compared to him, but his cool iceberg temperament was beyond his comparison.
"Chief Yan Yang, Zhao Cuo, a low-ranking executioner, is the third-class executioner who just took office today. He has been assigned by Chief Lin to work for you."
Zhao Cuo walked forward slowly and bowed politely.
Executor Yan Yang, one of the four chiefs of the Execution Department, looked at him calmly, with no obvious emotional changes on his face, and tapped his fingers on the table thoughtfully.
In the blink of an eye, his slightly narrow eyes began to fluctuate, and he nodded and said in a cold voice.
"My young master grew up in the Execution Department. He should know all the rules and so on. I won't go into details. I have three first-class executioners who lead a group of people. From today on, you will work with Cheng Yi.
.”
‘Cheng Yi?’
Zhao Cuo was reciting the name silently, and a simple and honest strong man quickly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt something right.
"yes!"
He didn't hesitate long before he answered loudly.
"Go down."
After Chief Yan Yang said the last words, he lowered his head and continued to look at the file in his hand.
After Zhao Cuo asked where the office room was, he turned around and left. He walked slowly along the corridor towards the building at the back. He had already thought about skipping work and returning home to practice if he had nothing to do later.
He knew many people in the Execution Department, and he also played with Cheng Yi, so he seemed to be the master when he came here.
"We have received anonymous reports many times that the Yinbihuafang on Yueba Lake secretly sells illicit salt. How about this investigation? That place is..."
Zhao Cuo walked outside an official room and stopped. After hearing the faint conversation inside, he politely did not knock on the door to interrupt.
"Didn't Brother Hua Fang listen to music these past few days? We didn't find anything wrong, and it wouldn't be right to let go of the girl in his arms and ruin someone's business, right?"
A frivolous voice sounded.
"What are you talking about, Zhang Yintang!"
A heavy male voice suddenly scolded.
"I've been waiting for the royal salary for a long time! If I don't handle the case, will I become a mediocre official? Have you forgotten the teachings of the old man when the Duke of Guo temporarily leaves office?"
"Don't dare!"
"Boss Cheng Yi, in my opinion, it's better to just take the mother-sang who was drinking in the Bihuafang. If she is frightened by the fire stick, she will definitely be able to do anything."
Someone used a serious tone to make a fool of himself.
"Zhiyi, please don't mess around! Don't you know the identity of the owner of Yinbi Huafang? Arresting people without evidence will cause big problems!"
"that……"
A weak voice sounded.
"Have you forgotten, my lords? The reporting system of our Great Yu Dynasty says that you can remain anonymous, but in fact, you must actually report the crime."
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet, and then a unanimous voice of approval rang out.
Zhao Cuo was also a little ashamed. Suddenly he lowered his head and looked at a piece of jade hanging on his waist, and his spiritual light suddenly shone.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
This jade pendant has the effect of hiding the aura. If it shines with light, it means that the spiritual consciousness of a practitioner has passed through the protection. Was the eavesdropping discovered?
"Who is outside the house?"
A dull voice came out.
"cough!"
Zhao Cuo raised his hand and knocked on the door with some embarrassment.
"The lower official Zhao Cuo has come to take office."
He pretended to be serious and said, and the hall suddenly fell into dead silence again, followed by the sound of people falling on their backs!
"Little father-in-law!"
With a cry of surprise, the door in front of Zhao Cuo was suddenly opened, and a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, nearly two meters tall, appeared in his eyes.
"I've met Cheng Yi first class."
Zhao Cuo smiled and cupped his hands.
"Don't dare!"
Cheng Yi, who was wearing a dark blue Feiyu suit, quickly returned the gift.
"Mr. Zhao, what did you just say?"
A head squeezed out from behind Cheng Yi, and the fair-faced young man looked at him with curious eyes, not too reserved.
"I came to serve in the Execution Department on the order of the Queen Mother."
Zhao Cuo took out his identity card and waved it in front of them. Although the young master didn't have a good reputation in Xiang Jing, he was still very popular in the execution department. After all, he had grown up here since he was a child. There was another time in his memory.
He almost broke into the torture chamber but was pulled out by Cheng Yi, covering his eyes.
His biological father protected him very well.
His subordinates were not allowed to see any blood.
"The empress personally ordered..."
There was a murmur in the room, and the way everyone looked at him changed. The execution department has been in charge of the Zhao family since ancient times, but now that Zheng Guogong has just been demoted, the supreme leader in the palace throws the young prince in?
Is this exactly what it means to train his successor? For a moment, everyone present looked happy and even breathed a sigh of relief.
Changing the boss would make anyone uneasy. Duke Zheng had always treated them well, and it would be great if the younger father-in-law took over from now on.
"From now on, my lords and I will be colleagues. You don't have to be polite. It's okay to call me."
Zhao Cuo also saw what they were thinking, but he couldn't laugh it off and swallowed tears in his stomach.
He couldn't guess what the witch Queen Mother was thinking.
I might wipe him out one day.
"Young master, you can do it! You can handle it! I, Zhang Yintang, would like to worship you as my eldest brother!"
The young man with a fair face smiled and handed him over.
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Zhao Cuo laughed dryly with a bit of social fear.
"A certain Wu Zhiyi also wants to discuss the method of torture with fire sticks with Mr. Zhao."
A square man with a serious face spoke.
Zhao Cuo: "..."
"alright!"
Leader Cheng Yi waved his hand. He looked simple but able to do good things. He said in a rich voice:
"From now on, the young master will be one of us. We can just get along normally. We are all doing things for the court. Don't get into trouble. We should keep in touch after work."
Zhao Cuo gave up the idea of skipping work. It was better not to be annoyed on the first day and just do the work well.
The day in the execution department's Yamen was neither idle nor busy. He just did some paperwork when he first took office. Cheng Yi didn't take him with him when he went out to the police at noon.
When he arrived at Youshi Sanya, Zhao Cuo was basically familiar with the dozens of people here. The ones who talked to him the most were the frivolous Zhang Yintang, the third class, and the stick-loving Wu Zhiyi, the third class. There were four other second-class people in their class.
The executioners were all out on errands and he saw no one.
"Mr. Zhao, would you like to go to Huafang to listen to some music? The newly tuned Qinghuan in Yinbi Huafang sings in the style of a famous artist!"
Zhang Yintang winked at him.
'Am I that kind of person?'
Zhao Cuo resisted subconsciously, and suddenly he frowned again, closed his eyes and looked inside the Ajna Ming Palace.
I saw the dragon-veined worm, which had been closing its eyes to meditate, open its red eyes, holding up its golden dragon head and grinning fiercely, as if to express protest.
The young prince suddenly realized that court officials would visit the brothels after work. This would completely corrupt the destiny of the country!
