Chapter 175: The official residence shouts medicine
"Police Department? This is... the new official department? It is in charge of public security and robbery?"
"It's almost the same, I'd better work harder."
After Wu Ming, who was telling the servant, pulled out his dagger and explained it to his father Liu Taozhi: "The dagger can stab people, but it cannot be used to cut bones."
"The bone-cutting knife is used to pick the meat, that's not a good idea."
"And the sharp knife that picks meat can be used to cut shredded meat, but it is not easy to use."
After Wu Ming said that, he took back the dagger, Liu Taozhi nodded, and understood. He knew that Wu Ming was about to enter the capital, so he couldn't help but care: "The powerful people everywhere in Chang'an are not as good as Xiyang. You have to be more careful when doing things."
"Know."
Wu Ming and his biological father Liu Taozhi have lived together for many years, and the relationship between father and son has gradually returned to normal. Although Wu Ming still did not change his surname to the master who adopted him to thank him, his son's surname is Liu.
The gray-haired Liu Taozhi is already in his twilight years. His peers are basically no longer alive. Liu Taozhi, who lives with his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, is a miraculous dead tree that is in spring.
Although his physical condition is not as good as before, Liu Taozhi still looks good. If there is no accident, he can hold on for at least a few years.
He was born as a Ma Nu of Emperor Gao Huan of the Shenwu Emperor of Qi. He served the ancestors and grandchildren of the Gao family for decades and witnessed the rise and fall of the Gao family. As the imperial executioner of the Gao family, his hands were stained with the blood of countless princes and nobles.
Liu Taozhi felt that he had committed too many evil deeds and did not dare to hope that he would have a good ending. Finally, a concubine gave birth to a son for him, so she asked the concubine to take her son to hide elsewhere.
As a result, there was no news about the mother and son after hiding. Only Liu Taozhi, who had lost her grandson, actually met her son in Xiyang, Huangzhou more than ten years later.
From then on, his life trajectory changed. The butcher of the past became a kind-hearted old man, with grandchildren around his knees, and only thanked God for blessings to allow him to enjoy his life.
Liu Taozhi believed in Buddhism and became more and more pious. He hoped that his son and his family would be safe and safe. He made a wish in front of the Buddha every day, making a wish to bear any disasters and keep his children and grandchildren safe.
Wu Ming is the confidant of Bin Wang Yuwen Wen and his status is guaranteed, but Liu Taozhi is vaguely uneasy because he found that his son was in a somewhat similar situation to his back then.
They are all a murderous knife.
Liu Taozhi knew very well what such a situation felt, and he didn't want his son to follow in his footsteps.
The little guy from the Yuwen family actually turned from a county duke, a county duke, a county duke, and a king to a ruling prime minister step by step. Then, the next thing is to be the emperor who is facing north and south, and to rule the world.
At that time, wouldn’t your son be like that of his back then?
The emperor will kill whoever he wants to kill, committing countless murderous crimes. He is hated by the powerful and nobles. If he is not careful, he will be thrown out by his master to calm the anger and smash it to pieces.
Liu Taozhi doesn't want her son to go his old path, but hopes that his son will retreat bravely, find an opportunity to retire, take his family to hide his identity, and live a life of peace and stability, but his son will not listen to him.
The son is very opinionated, and the daughter-in-law is even more opinionated. Not only does it mean to manage the family, but also runs a knitting workshop. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the family is becoming more and more prosperous.
The daughter-in-law Sima is the concubine daughter of Sima Yingnan. When the young Emperor Yuwen Chan was deposed, Liu Taozhi did not expect that the granddaughter of Sima Ziru's old acquaintance was so capable.
He found that he was indeed old and could not see through what kind of tricks the little guy in the Yuwen family was. He used the method of "making wealth together" to win people's hearts. Liu Taozhi sometimes wondered what kind of opinion would Yuwen Bodhisattva have about his grandson if he knew something under the spring.
Yuwen Bodhisattva, namely Yuwen Dao, whose courtesy name was Bodhisattva, was of the same generation as Liu Taozhi. He was the grandfather of Yuwen Wen. He was the second brother of King Yuwen Hu, the king of Jin Dynasty.
Yuwen Wen's appointment of Wu Ming also made Liu Taozhi feel a little surprised: the other party no longer seems to treat Wu Ming as a sharp knife, but instead wants to be appointed normally.
Now, Yuwen Wen set up a police department in Chang'an, which is under the jurisdiction of four police stations in the southeast, west and north. Liu Taozhi heard that his son was about to serve as the director of the Dongcheng Police Station. In addition to his main position, he is also in charge of Sogdian and miscellaneous affairs.
Wu Ming summarized his part-time job in one sentence: "This is almost the same as yelling medicine."
Wu Ming explained to his father that Liu Taozhi probably knew what Hu Yao was doing, but he couldn't figure out what it had to do with the position of police chief.
Wu Ming planned to explain to his father in detail, but found that the more he explained, the more he could not explain it, so he summarized it briefly: "That is to manage Sogdians and other foreigners, that is, manage foreigners."
"oh...."
Liu Taozhi nodded, but her brows were furrowed.
Hu Yao is an official position established by the Zhou State. There are Da Hu Yao and Hu Yao, and it is not a Han official position. The name seems to originate from the Yuan Wei Dynasty's name of the leader (military officer) "Hu Luozhen", also known as "Hu Le", which is a military official who manages the Sogdians and Zoroastrians.
The Sogdians believed in Zoroastrianism (also known as Zoroastrianism in the Central Plains) and were good at doing business. Sogdian merchants have always been closely connected with the powerful and wealthy people. If they manage the Sogdians, they will inevitably have conflicts with the powerful and wealthy people.
This was the case when Qi was still there. Many powerful people rejected the merchants of the Central Plains, but had close contacts with Sogdian and Hu merchants. These Sogdian and Hu merchants had a backer and acted arrogantly and domineeringly, and few officials dared to take charge.
Liu Taozhi learned through reading the newspaper that the Dongcheng District of New Chang'an is said to be a place where powerful people gather, and the extremely prosperous Dongcheng of Chang'an is also a market where Sogdian Hu merchants gather.
Now, Liu Taozhi is worried that his son will offend many people unknowingly as the director of the Dongcheng Police Station.
Wu Ming disagreed with this concern: "It's a big mistake to be an official, and it's not a mistake to offend people. The king set up a police department to set up a new rule. However, the police station only carries about arresting people, sentences, etc., so there's no need to worry about it."
"Isn't it just arrested but not sentenced? Aren't it together?" Liu Taozhi was a little surprised when she heard this.
"That's right, the police department is responsible for law enforcement, and the Qiu government is responsible for justice. If those powerful lackeys are arrested, as long as they have not committed a serious crime and want to be suspense, they have to find Qiu government officials to clear the way first, right?"
"Besides, the police department is also located in Dongcheng. If those powerful people really want to be noisy, they have to pass Mr. Yang's pass first."
Wu Ming always called Yang Ji "Mr. Yang". Liu Taozhi nodded after hearing this: "It's like this..."
The news revealed by Wu Ming made him feel more and more that he was old and that the world was changing. It was a new era for young people.
My son Guanju shouted the medicine... No, the police chief, it seems to be a good way out...
While the father and son were talking, the enthusiastic Sima Lingji walked in, saluted her uncle (father-in-law), and started talking to Wu Ming. She was waiting for several maids outside the door, each holding various information.
Sima Lingji, the workshop owner who is in the "career rising stage", is very busy every day, but he will take time to accompany Wu Ming no matter what. Now Wu Ming is going to work in Chang'an. Sima Lingji is worried and comes to give me some instructions.
Wu Ming went to Chang'an, but Sima Lingji was busy with her career but could not leave Xiyang for the time being. As her official wife, she arranged two beautiful maids for Wu Ming to avoid being lonely in Chang'an.
But Wu Ming refused. Sima Lingji was busy, not only doing housework and raising a son, but also organizing increasingly large industries. Wu Ming felt that it was not good to be a hand-off manager, so he would not be willing to take a concubine.
Sima Lingji had already ordered someone to prepare for Wu Ming. Seeing that his husband was about to set off, Sima Lingji was a little worried and was always worried that he was not ready.
The young couple got along, and Liu Taozhi quickly left, and there was only a couple left in the room. Wu Ming hugged Sima Lingji and said affectionately: "Don't worry, this time I entered Beijing, I followed the convoy of the royal palace. It's very safe along the way, don't worry."
Sima Lingji nodded and suddenly felt a little sad: "Then, when you arrive in Chang'an, please ask your husband to take time to bring incense to your father..."
"Yeah, OK."
Wu Ming hugged his wife and gently patted the other person on the back as comfort.
Sima Lingji's father, Sima Lingji, saved his life since the demise of the Yuchi family. He then settled in Tongzhou and was idle at home. Because he was old and had poor conditions, his health was getting worse. Later, he was bedridden and died in the middle of last year.
Sima Xiaonan was the son of the nobles of Qi State and the princess of Shang Qi State. Later, he fled to Zhou State and had a bad relationship with his original wife Gao. Later, he responded to the uprising of Yuchi Jiong and left Gao and his legitimate son to flee. The couple had almost finished their relationship.
Therefore, when Sima Xiaonan was dying, he was only accompanied by his young concubine. Sima Lingji, who was far away in Xiyang, had never been able to recognize his father. He wanted to wait for the right time, but he learned that his father was seriously ill.
It was too late at that time because when Sima Lingji learned the news, Sima Xiaonan had already died of illness.
Her biological mother has passed away and has a bad relationship with her legitimate mother and brother. She has not had time to recognize her father. She has not even met her last time, only endless sadness.
Wu Ming comforted his wife, and his voice softly: "It's okay, I'm here to Chang'an for my husband, and I'll avoid sweeping the tombs. When you arrive in Chang'an, I'll go to the grave to burn incense together."
"Um."
As he was talking, Wu Ming suddenly remembered something: "Have you been to the princess where you are?"
Sima Lingji replied after hearing this, "No, the princess just arrived in Xiyang yesterday, so where can I disturb you?"
