When Xiao Jiading heard the words of Chief Wen, he was stunned. Tang Lin, Sima of the Government Office, had just used his landscape paintings to suppress County Magistrate Deng. It was just a lie he made up. He didn't know Tang Sima of the Government Office at all. How could he recommend himself as the county magistrate's personal secretary?

Although Xiao Jiading's mind was spinning very quickly, he couldn't figure out the mystery for a while.

However, he now understood why County Magistrate Deng was so polite. If you want to tell the lies that Xiao Jiading had just made up about dating Sima Tang, Deng County Magistrate Deng would rather believe it. Now, Tang Sima's sponsor of Xiao Jiading as the magistrate Kang made him believe it. No wonder the embarrassing look on his face.

The county magistrate's personal secretary is naturally a fat and has a bright future. From the previous county magistrate Kang's siblings, he can know that his path can be entered from this path to the official career, and he does not need to take the strict imperial examination. So Xiao Jiading was naturally very happy, but he just smiled on his face and did not have to share surprises. He seemed to have known it for a long time and bowed: "Thank you, Chief Wen, for telling me."

Xiao Jiading's expression made the smile on Master Wen's face brighter, and it could even be understood as a kind of flattery, saying: "Tomorrow, come to my garrison, you will come to my signing room directly. I will take you to meet the county magistrate and tell you what you will do in the future. OK?"

He spoke very politely, not like an official talking to a small clerk.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly bowed and agreed.

Wen Zhuan took out Xiao Jiading's Lu Yin and a waist sign from his sleeve bag, handed it to Xiao Jiading, and said, "By the way, when the County Magistrate Deng sent someone to send you the Lu Yin registration book, I just learned about this, so I changed the waist sign to the one who held the clothes. Because I was busy, I only sent it to you now."

Xiao Jiading quickly took over the waist card and Lu Yin.

The chief clerk Wen said again: "You are now the county magistrate's clothing. It is possible that the county magistrate will ask you to work overtime and have a place to rest. So, I have arranged a residence for you next to the flower house outside the county magistrate's inner corps. You can just move in. I have someone to clean up your office space for you. Let's talk about it in detail."

"Yes! Thank you, Chief Wen."

The chief clerk Wen said to County Magistrate Deng again: "Wait a while, you will take Xiao Zhiyi around and get to know everyone."

County Magistrate Deng quickly agreed.

The chief clerk Wen smiled and bowed, saying goodbye and leaving.

After he left, County Wei Deng and Xu Sifa, Dong Fazuo quickly came over to congratulate him, and Xiao Jiading returned the gifts one by one.

County Magistrate Deng had recovered his composure, smiled all over his face, bowed to the Xiao family, said something congratulated, and then solemnly said to Xu Sifa beside him: "By the way, the maid of Xiao Zhiyi's cousin and the Zhao family's case must be handled according to Xiao Zhiyi's opinion. The maid is from the Xiao family, just like the cows and horses of the Xiao family. The calf and horses he gave birth to are of course from his Xiao family. The child born to the Zhao family should belong to the Xiao family. Why don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Xu Sifa was a little stunned. The case was rejected after seeing it. At that time, he said that the child was the flesh and blood of the Zhao family and of course he should have returned to the Zhao family. Why has it become his own fault now? But he dared not distinguish it from the leader in charge, so he could only make a fuss and claim that it was.

County Magistrate Deng looked at Xiao Jiading and smiled with some help and said, "Xiao Zhiyi, do you think this is appropriate?"

"It's great. I thank the county magistrate for enforcing the law impartially for my cousin."

"It's easy to say."

Xiao Jiading suddenly remembered the case that Yu Gui mentioned during dinner in the morning, and said lightly: "By the way, yesterday I saw an old man named Yu Gui at the yamen. He knelt down and cried at the yamen. I asked what happened. He said that one of his cows accidentally fell to death. The yamen convicted him of manslaughtering the cattle. There was no punishment, but his cow was confiscated into an official. There was no provision for criminal law in this kind of matter, and I was also thinking about it in my heart. So when I met Tang Sima last night, I asked him about the case. He smiled and said that although there was no provision for this situation, the law had long been clear that only criminal tools could not be accepted for officials. In case of cattle killing, the cattle was only the target of crime and the victim. How did it become a tool of crime? Since it was not a tool of crime, it should not be confiscated into the official, but should be returned to the original owner. Tang Sima was still very unhappy and asked where the case was and how could it be handled like this..."

When he heard Xiao Jiading's words, County Wei Deng and Shifa Xu became nervous, their faces flushed and their eyes were staring at him.

Xiao Jiading smiled slightly and said, "I said I was just thinking about it this way, and I don't know if there is such a case in the yamen. His face eased a little."

County Wei Deng and Sifa Xu both breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other. County Wei Deng smiled and said, "Thank you Xiao Zhiyi for your good words. I immediately asked them to return the confiscated beef to the original owner. Haha."

Xu Sifa whispered: "But the beef has been divided..."

County Magistrate Deng turned around and glared at him fiercely, turned to Xiao Jiading and said, "This matter will definitely be handled well, don't worry."

"Then I want to thank the county magistrate for Yu Gui. Oh, it's very pitiful. I am just soft-hearted and can't listen to others crying. Hehe."

"Xiao Zhiyi is kind-hearted, so you must have such compassion when you try a case. Brother Xiao is promoted to Zhiyi and will deal with people from all walks of life in the future. I will take you to meet people from all walks of life in the county government first. Let's get to know each other and get to know each other, so you can do things in the future."

"Thank you, the county magistrate."

"Our brother, you're welcome."

County Magistrate Deng took Xiao Jiading to visit the county magistrate Lian Chaohui first. The old man was very enthusiastic and patted Xiao Jiading on the shoulder and said he would do his best and have a bright future. Then County Magistrate Deng took him to meet another county magistrate Wen Youde.

Shaocheng County belongs to Shang County, with two county magistrates, which manage the six corpses of the county government, which is equivalent to the leaders in charge. Among them, Wen Youde is in charge of the three corpses of officials, households and rites, and the county magistrate Deng Quansheng is in charge of the three corpses of punishment, military and engineering. Of course, important things for the six corpses require the county magistrate to nod.

Wen Youde spoke slowly and literaryly. He looked like an old scholar and was also very enthusiastic about Xiao Jiading.

County Magistrate Deng introduced him to his robe Xing Xuzhong. Xiao Jiading heard from Du Erniu's grandfather that this person was proficient in criminal law and was a capable general of County Magistrate Deng. After all, he was a colleague. Xiao Jiading greeted him warmly, but Xing Xuzhong just bowed respectfully and did not actively respond to Xiao Jiading's enthusiasm, and seemed a little indifferent. Many capable people have this kind of virtue, and Xiao Jiading didn't care about it.

County Wei Deng took him to the five officials, households, rites, soldiers and stewards outside the punishment room, and met with the officials and deputy officials in each room, and the clerks. Then he went to the county warehouse, met with the warehouse governor, city order and Zaoli. Then he went to the third-class Zaoli and the prison of the county yamen, met the headmaster, constable, Zaoli, the prison, and the prison, and asked about things. Bai Zhi. Finally, he went to the school of the yamen and met the doctors, assistants and students in charge. One or two hundred people from all over the yamen met. These people looked at Xiao Jiading, and most of them were awe and envy, and of course they were jealous and indifferent.

After walking around, it was almost time to disperse the yamen. County Magistrate Deng sent him back to the punishment room. Zhu Haiyin took the initiative to take Xiao Zhiyi to his residence in the yamen. County Magistrate Deng agreed, and then bowed and left.

As soon as Xiao Jiading came back, the criminal clerks from the room rushed over and bowed to Xiao Jiading to celebrate. The smiles on their faces were very strange and frightened. They all regretted that they had not seen Xiao Jiading clearly before, so they showed such an expression. They didn't know whether the county magistrate Zhiyi, who even the county magistrate was interested in currying favor with him in the future.

The clerks of the Tang Dynasty were different from the current civil servants. Civil servants had a job, while the clerks of the Tang Dynasty had a deadline, usually for five years. After the expiration, the county magistrate decided to continue to retain them before they could work for five years. Otherwise, they would be left with the bed. Will the county magistrate continue to retain them when the deadline expires? Because the county magistrate basically does not deal with the clerk directly, so the county magistrate only relies on the people below to report on the performance of the clerk. At this time, if the county magistrate holds clothes around the county magistrate, it often plays a decisive role. Therefore, while congratulating Xiao Jiading, these clerks were thinking about how to give gifts to Xiao Jiading to restore their bad impression in Xiao Jiading's mind.

The sound of cloud boards in the sanya was heard. The clerks nodded and looked at Xiao Jiading. He waited for him to go out first before he could go out. Xiao Jiading saw Zhu Haiyin shook his eyes to him. Knowing that he was about to say, he said to the clerks: "You go first, I have something to do."

The clerks then flattered and said to Xiao Jiading with a smile that the case handed over to him would not be handled, and they would just be handed over to the internal staff. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiading went to the torture room of the yamen and handed him two cases, but they were not completed, and the others were promoted. It was really a blessing that the mountains could not stop it.

After the clerks left, only Zhu Haiyin and Xiao Jiading were left in the room.

Zhu Haiyin then stepped forward and bowed, "Congratulations to brother! Congratulations to brother! Let's go to Cuiyulou and celebrate with you!"

The incident happened too suddenly before, and Xiao Jiading had not figured out what was going on. Now, when Zhu Haiyin mentioned Cuiyulou, his eyes immediately lit up. Could it be that Yaniang helped this matter? There is such a possibility, because Tang Sima was the guest of Yaniang and had written many calligraphy and paintings for her. It means that the two had a good relationship, but they were just supporting a clerk. This kind of thing is too pediatric for Sima. Yaniang should be able to speak in such a thing.

Did she help? If this is the case, I have to really get to know this Tang Sima through him. If this kind of relationship is not gone, that would be a fool.
