"This is Lin Haoming, the head of the criminal chamber whom I have trusted for a long time!" When Cui Changting walked up to Lin Haoming, Fang Ruhai introduced him with a smile on his face as before.
At this time, both Lin Haoming and Cui Changting looked at each other carefully. In terms of appearance, Lin Haoming asked himself, this Cui Changting did have a good body. Although it cannot be said to be extremely handsome, it can be regarded as tall and handsome, with a majestic appearance. , is indeed a pretty good and heroic man. No wonder Jia Kai pulled a red line for Qiniang back then.
"It turns out to be Chief Lin. The name of Chief Lin has already been well known to this city lord." Cui Changting still smiled after hearing the introduction.
Lin Haoming also smiled and said: "Lin has heard of the name of City Lord Cui for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would become an official in the same city!"
"Haha... this can be considered fate. No matter what happened in the past, now that we have this fate, for the good of Dithief City, we still work together in the same boat. Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Cui Changting asked pointedly. road.
Lin Haoming did not expect that Cui Changting would hint like this when he met Cui Changting. He still smiled slightly and said: "For the good things of Di Thief City, Lin will naturally work hard to do it."
"Okay, with the words of Chief Lin, I am relieved!" Cui Changting felt confident after hearing Lin Haoming's response. After smiling, he walked towards Dan Dongliang, the owner of the workshop behind him.
Lin Haoming took a deep breath and listened to Cui Changting and Dan Dongliang talking behind him. He understood mentally that the matter between him and Cui Changting had become impossible to reconcile since the previous answer.
Of course, Lin Haoming was a little surprised that Cui Changting would show his kindness as soon as he came up, but he felt calm after thinking about it. After all, with Cui Changting's identity, he should probably know what happened between him and Gong Xinlan. In this way, naturally he would not dare to offend too much. He, but he made it clear that it was impossible to so-called help each other in the same boat, and he should also understand what will happen in the future.
After Dan Dongliang, the city lord had seen everyone who came to greet him, and the carriage procession also began to enter the city in a mighty manner, and finally arrived at the city lord's mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion had already made preparations. After people arrived, they began to be busy moving all kinds of things into the back office.
Wu Yue had disappeared a long time ago, but Cui Changting acted like a city lord, listening to everyone's introduction to some things about the city.
In the evening, in the side hall of the city lord's mansion, most of the seventh-rank and above people in Dithief City welcomed the city lord and held a big banquet. In addition, some magistrates from subordinate counties also came to welcome the city lord, and among the generals from all directions, the former General Sima Gang also came from the army to greet Cui Changting on behalf of the garrison.
The banquet started. Cui Changting and Wu Yue were sitting in the middle. On the left and right sides were Fang Ruhai and Sima Gang. Below were the left and right colleagues Xiang Xuehai and Song Ting, followed by the left and right supervisors Ju Yehao and Deng Peng. After them, No one sat alone anymore, but a round table was set up. Headed by Liu Fang, the officials from the yamen of the local government offices and the officials from the subordinate counties were arranged in order. The tables were divided and almost filled the entire side hall.
The six-room house had the most subordinate departments, and there were too many chiefs and deputy chiefs for one round table plus the chief and deputy commanders of each department. Some people had to form another table with the extra people from the official room and the work room.
On the other hand, the execution room only has three divisions under its jurisdiction, and one table can seat sixteen people. Excluding the personnel guarding the execution room, there are several empty seats.
Although the execution room has always been under the jurisdiction of only three departments and is the smallest among all rooms, it is indeed a bit empty relatively speaking. At this time, with Lin Haoming as the chief, it is really difficult for people from other rooms to get in.
Soon after the banquet started, officials of all sizes toasted to Cui Changting. Cui Changting seemed to be in a good mood, and Wu Yue was also in the position of stars and the moon, and he was also smiling at the moment.
Sitting in such a place, Lin Haoming watched all this calmly, taking into account the performance of every official. Many people who belonged to the Xiao family mentioned by Xiao Yumeng and Wei Yeming were now the most active. Obviously They must use their performance to express their position to the new city lord as soon as possible.
Just from the performance of these people and the number of people who came forward, it was already clear that Xiao Yu’s dream of realizing Xiao Yu’s dream, a three-party cooperation and confrontation between the Xiao faction, local forces and Lin Haoming, was already impossible at this moment. If I guessed correctly, Next, a large number of officials will turn to Cui Changting, and then Cui Changting will start to deal with Yang Yingcheng and Yu Yanqing. Of course, Lin Haoming cannot guarantee that the two people will not turn to each other, but at least not yet.
No one at Lin Haoming's table took the initiative to stand up and ran to Cui Changting to show off. Of course, if Lin Haoming hadn't been sitting there, I don't know if anyone would have stood up.
After watching quietly for a while, Zhang Kaishi cautiously came over and asked, "Director Lin, Director Yang and Director Yu have all gone to pay respects to the Lord of the City. Do you want to politely go over and offer a toast too!"
"No need!" Lin Haoming refused directly. For Cui Changting, he could only become an enemy. Lin Haoming had no intention of easing up with him, so even if it was some courtesy, Lin Haoming had no intention of giving face.
Of course, Lin Haoming has been sedentary for a long time, and Yang Yingcheng and Yu Yanqing have both toasted, which makes many people turn their attention to Lin Haoming from time to time, but Lin Haoming is one of the principals of the Six Houses after all, and it is obvious that It represents another big force, but no one dares to say anything.
Faced with Lin Haoming's rejection, Zhang Kaishi couldn't say much and could only keep his mouth shut. Since Lin Haoming didn't go out, the others could only sit. For a while, the table in the torture room seemed a little quiet.
Although Lin Haoming did not go out to toast, Cui Changting, who had just arrived, according to etiquette, had to come out with his wife to return the toast at this time.
Several fifth-grade officials paid their respects one by one, followed by the tables in the sixth room.
At the first few tables, even if Yang Yingcheng and Yu Yanqing were not from the same family, the scene was not depressing. But Bao Wanchang's place in the military room was even more lively. I don't know if this person was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, but he actually took it in front of everyone. He picked up a jar of wine and drank it, causing everyone to cheer.
Lin Haoming could only laugh it off, but next was his side. Cui Changting could not avoid it, and the same was true for Lin Haoming. Moreover, Lin Haoming did not want to avoid it, but seemed to be afraid of him.
As the two people walked to the table, Lin Haoming finally stood up politely, but at this moment, before Cui Changting could speak, Wu Yue didn't know whether he drank too much wine or was being complimented too much. , the whole person was a little dazed, and he actually asked Lin Haoming first: "Mr. Lin, I heard that sister Jia Kai is now your concubine. I wonder how Qiniang is doing now?"
