In fact, Cheng Shilian and Xin Pingping, who were the local gangsters in Luodu, showed much more efficiency in this matter than Jiang Tian expected. Just when the sky had just darkened, Cheng Shilian had already sent someone to deliver the news; he had already rented out the entire top floor of a well-known restaurant near Yuepei.
Therefore, when Jiang Tian and his entourage arrived at Mingyi Square, they saw Cheng Shilian and Xin Gongping, who were in charge of the matter, already standing downstairs to wait and greet them. The moment he saw them, Jiang Tian also handed over a piece of paper; it said that in the name of the secret censorship department, Cheng Shilian, who was still selected by the Ministry of Personnel, was transferred to his subordinates to assist in the organization.
"Thank you for your help!" Cheng Shilian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this. This also meant that most of his biggest problems and crises at the moment were resolved; what was left was the follow-up operation of his own family. The matter was completely settled. When Xin Pingping saw this, he was even more sincerely happy than him and said: "Congratulations, Brother Shi Lian."
"Come on, don't just be happy. In fact, you also have a share." However, Jiang Tian took out another piece of zhazi, put it directly into Xin Pingping's hand and said: "This... this..." Xin Pingping said He couldn't help but be a little stunned, but then he turned into a bitter smile and sighed: "I...why do you think that you are so valued by a noble official!"
"Since you have seen it with your own eyes, don't you want to do something about the beast disaster that has arisen in the world?" Jiang Tian said indifferently: "Of course, this is comparable to the step-by-step work in a distant county in another state. It is much more exciting and thrilling to be a parent official with high qualifications and stable performance. It is normal if you have concerns."
"The noble officer was joking. If I don't know about it, that's fine. But now that I know there is such danger in the world, how can I ignore it? I can only obey the order happily and do my best." Xin Gongping felt even more helpless after hearing this. Dao: Although he knew that this would be a challenge, he still inevitably agreed.
In other words, in the first half of his life, when he was relatively stable, he learned only superficial principles of managing the world and benefiting the people, but he always had an eager mind that refused to be lonely. Now the sudden appearance of this noble man finally allowed him to see a glimmer of change and a turning point. Cheng Shilian was extremely happy and said, "Since good things come in pairs, let you and I have so much fun today that we will forget to leave!"
Of course, using one of the six subordinate positions under the Supervisor's name to win over these two people was not a whim of Jiang Tian. Xin Pingping, who has just entered the official career, still retains his distinctive character of being eager for justice and enthusiastic about being a knight; although Cheng Shilian is somewhat utilitarian in his appointment, he is also measured in the distinction between right and wrong, and he also has a sophisticated approach to people;
Therefore, these two people, both internal and external, are the most suitable candidates at the moment as co-organizers/assistants in handling general affairs. It’s better than recommending someone else, who needs to re-recognize and understand, re-cultivate and win over new people. Although he needs to rely on the power of the system, Jiang Tian does not intend to spend too much energy on further development and progress in the officialdom.
Under this situation, Jiang Tian wanted to go about his daily life without any worries, or to not have to be distracted by trivial matters, or even be held back by others. It is necessary to share daily affairs and powers and gradually hand them over to reliable and capable subordinates; this is also the opportunity for them to make personal progress; it depends on whether the other party can understand and grasp it in time.
Later, as the nominal convener of the banquet, Jiang Tian also checked the menu items personally presented by the owner of the store, asked his two new subordinates who were locals for their suggestions, and selected several drinks with different colors; We arrived at the fourth-story attic where the curtains, partitions, and screens had been removed. Then the musical instruments belonging to the restaurant also started playing.
Amidst the clear sound of these musical instruments, the subordinates of Yigan, led by Lin Jiulang who arrived first, almost spontaneously divided their labors and took on the role of greeting and summoning. Immediately after, Zhu Jiezhi from Jinwu Guard led Chen Wentai and others who were holding gift boxes; and then came Liu Jingchang from Zuowu Guard. Judging from the color of his clothes and accessories, it seemed that he had been promoted...
As locals, Cheng Shilian and Xin Pingping took the responsibility of accompanying the guests and creating topics and lively atmosphere. On the contrary, Linghu Xiaomu, who was particularly handsome in men's clothing, knelt down beside Jiang Tian with a low eyebrow. He was almost silent during the banquet, but it made people feel very natural.
In fact, the atmosphere of this banquet gradually became lively and enthusiastic. Murong Wu, who finally completed his official duties at the Yushitai, also came uninvited after hearing the news. Representative Xiantai, who was very familiar with the ceremony, joined in the fun and laughter. This drink lasted until the night was dark when the Jade Rabbit was hanging high, and everyone was able to leave happily.
During this period, Zhu Jieshi, Liu Jingchang and others, who had the highest status at the banquet, helped Xunran to say goodbye one after another. The remaining subordinates, new and old, were able to become more and more dissolute; food and wine were served again, and a new round of banquet activities began. But this time, even Linghu Xiaomu, who was acting as a shadow behind Jiang Tian, was not immune.
Li Huan, who was very discerning, apologized in advance and drove away a few sergeants who were said to be severely hungover. Zhang Wusheng also got drunk and mistakenly took the horses, cars, and rides downstairs that could be used for transportation. Zidu made arrangements to leave; in the end, Linghu Xiaomu, whose face was dizzy and lonely, seemed to have no choice but to ride back with Jiang Tian besides walking.
Glutinous rice
"Supervisor Jiang, you are doing this carefully, right?" Linghu Xiaomu, who was lying on the railing and squeezed into a sharp curve, could not help but squint with blurred eyes: "I thought this man said so plausibly during the day. , I didn’t expect to take advantage of the situation so quickly and follow the stick to beat the snake.
"The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise see wisdom, and those who doubt will naturally be troubled." Jiang Tian, who was beside him, smiled calmly at her with an open heart: "It's okay if you find it inconvenient, I will lead the horse to accompany you. On the last trip, I thought I was cured of my hangover."
"Just taking a walk, nothing else?" Linghu Xiaomu put his hands on his forehead with slightly confused eyes, and said with a hint of suspicion:
"Of course, what else do you want? I'm not the kind of casual person." Jiang Tian smiled slightly: After all, the last welfare you gave me is still fresh in my memory?
"..." Linghu Xiaomu was speechless and angry when he heard this, thinking that I am just a random person; but when he thought of that chance encounter on the street, when he was so fascinated that he was forced to agree to travel with each other's arms, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy. .
However, Linghu Xiaomu certainly wanted to keep a proper distance to show his reserve and firmness. However, it seems that because of the Sanluo wine brewed by the restaurant, the stamina continued one after another. Before she had gone far, she soon became top-heavy and swayed, but she had to fall down again. Jiang Tian had quick eyes and quick hands. In the supporting arms.
Then, she found that she was unable to push away the man's helping hand; then she relied on him helplessly and with a complicated heart, and continued to stumble for a long distance under the cool moonlight of the night dew. However, the alcohol didn't seem to make him any better. As a result, Linghu Xiaomu was helped unceremoniously onto the horse again.
Just when she couldn't help but hold the horse's mane in her arms, trying to stabilize her body, she heard the faint sound of wind; and then she was held up by someone from behind in a riding position. Just like teaching a child learning to ride a horse for the first time, he hugged her hand in hand and body to body, and then began to slowly accelerate and ride, choking back the strange sound she was about to make.
Because during the bumps and swaying, she had to hug the horse's back with all her strength to ensure that she did not fall; and then she could only watch helplessly as someone hugged her waist tightly and put his hands on her straight and firm thighs. Go up... When Linghu Xiaomu regained consciousness and was lifted off the stopped horse, he was already covered in sweat.
However, she didn't even know what happened on the horse during this period of lost consciousness, or if nothing happened at all. Then he was lifted up by his legs again, and under the swaying lights, he walked across the hall in a daze, and was sent to a clean-smelling guest room, where he was covered with a thin silk quilt.
The sound of footsteps closing the door faded away, and another half sound passed. Her breathing gradually became rapid, and she suddenly opened her eyes and stood up to touch her clothes; although they were a little messy, they were still basically intact. He couldn't help but spat slightly; he felt as if he was being disliked. Then he hugged his knees and leaned against the wall, lightly shrugging his shoulders.
At the same time, Jiang Tian had already changed his clothes, shuttled between the city shrouded in night, and started a new round of night tour. Because at tonight's banquet, Cheng Shilian, who rarely let go of his worries, accidentally mentioned a family benefactor after getting drunk, which caught his attention.
It's not just that this hidden marquis has no official status or responsibilities, nor does he have a feudal lordship. He is just an empty prince (marquis) that has been passed down for three generations; but he can become a member of various sects with constant invitations. A distinguished guest, the most popular high-roller at the party. There are even rumors that there have been many behind-the-scenes manipulations involving the transfer and dismissal of officials in the capital;
And this hidden minister was also the introducer and recommender of many members of the Qingzheng Division after its establishment. He also strongly recommended him to the Qingzheng Division after accepting the courtesy of the official position of the Cheng family. What's more, because Cheng Shilian said that when he was still in Chang'an Guards House, he used another alias... and was called "Linglang".
That's right, it was the name that the owner of the ghost market, Xiao Ding, the lord of the Xiao clan, drew at the last moment before he died of poison. This suddenly made Jiang Tian have an idea. In comparison, the mere impulse caused by hormones is really insignificant; it will only hinder him from completing the task guidance and gaining the opportunity to become stronger.
