In Qingyang County, all Chen Xiao’s enemies knew that Chen Xiao did not pass the imperial examination.

So, everyone was ready to clean up the Chen family.

Especially Luo Qianqian and Wei Dianshi, they wanted to swallow the Chen family and Chen Xiao alive.

Now, without any worries, they no longer tolerate and began to attack the Chen family from all aspects.

And at this moment, the Chen family.

When Chen Wenshan heard the news that Chen Xiao had not won the imperial examination, he just sighed and said:

"Oh, I should have guessed it long ago, how could our Xiaoer be the judge? If he really is the judge, I, Chen Wenshan, eat my father upside down!"

Chen, who was standing beside him, frowned: "What's wrong with not winning? Failure to win does not mean that my son is not excellent!"

"That's that's..." Chen Wenshan nodded, but sighed again:

"I haven't passed the imperial examination and have no chance to become an official, hey... I'm afraid my Chen family is over..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came in and said, "No, Master, we have two shops, which were sealed off by the yamen."

Chen Wenshan's face changed: "How could this happen?"

"Master, they said there is something wrong with our shop and it may be suspected of smuggling salt, and it needs to be investigated..." the servant replied.

Chen Wenshan was confused: "My cloth shop is suspected of smuggling salt? Is he crazy in the yamen?"

This is obviously to deal with his Chen family. Chen Wenshan is not a fool, so he understands it very well.

But what can he do? The more he has been an official, the more he understands how simple it is to deal with him by the yamen.

"Forget it, I can't fight... I hope they can show mercy and don't let our family be too miserable..."

...

Imperial capital!

Chen Xiao is now a juren, or a priest, and the ups and downs have slowed him down for a long time.

That's not all. He was chatting with Long Jiuling in the restaurant. Suddenly, the Ministry of Personnel came to another minor official. When he met Chen Xiaohou in the room, he took out a document and wanted to appoint him as the official of the Imperial Capital Prefecture to manage the Criminal Hall.

This made Chen Xiao confused again. Even if he was the first-class Jie Yuan, he would not be able to become an official from the sixth rank, right?

This prosecutor is basically ranked fifth in the Imperial Capital.

In front of him, there were the prefect of the third-rank imperial capital, the prefect of the fourth-rank imperial capital, the prefect of the fifth-rank imperial capital, the prefect of the sixth-rank imperial capital, and then the advisor of the sixth-rank imperial capital.

This is not a small official anymore. Chen Xiao really couldn't believe it. He read the documents and then he was sure.

Then he took a deep breath and accepted happily.

"Master Jie Yuan, the Ministry of Personnel notifies you that you will go to the Ministry of Personnel to collect the documents and official uniforms tomorrow and take office immediately." The minor official spoke.

Chen Xiao gave the minor official a few taels of silver and said, "Thank you!"

After the little official left, Chen Xiao smiled and said to Long Jiuling: "Fortunately, I have not been humiliated!"

Long Jiuling was also very happy: "I knew that you would definitely pass the exam."

In the evening, Chen Xiao personally cooked and had a delicious meal with Fatty Long Jiuling, and then continued to do business.

At this time, a waiter said that the guest on the second floor was here again.

Chen Xiao arrived at the second floor private room, looked at the emperor, and said, "Today I'm free to drink!"

"Is there a good thing?" the emperor smiled.

Chen Xiao said: "You guess?"

"Have you passed the imperial examination?" said the emperor.

Chen Xiao was stunned: "Do you know too?"

"Haha, I guess you may have become an official." The emperor said.

Chen Xiao was surprised: "Brother Niu Pi, I'm going to work as a delegate officer in the Imperial Capital."

"Well, do it well. By the way, the imperial capital prefect is not a good thing." said the emperor.

Chen Xiao nodded: "It's almost the same. Anyway, the magistrate of the Imperial Capital is not a good thing."

"You are the Promoter now. Do you want to investigate them? If they are guilty, you will be a great achievement!" The emperor began to guide him.

Chen Xiao said: "Then you still need to tell me about this? I tell you that I am an official to clean up these bastards. The water in this officialdom is too deep and too muddy.

My father, a county magistrate, was dismissed from his post because he offended someone and did not investigate whether he was guilty. So, the magistrate and prefecture of the Imperial Capital have problems. If it is not done well, it will be even more involved."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiao sighed: "Hi, why do I tell you this? You know a hammer."

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "The water in the officialdom is deep and muddy, and I can hardly see clearly..."

Chen Xiao drank a glass of wine: "Of course you can't see clearly, I can see clearly. Since I have also entered the pool of water, I have to stir it up, either getting more and more muddy or becoming clearer!"

The emperor smiled: "Have ambition."

Chen Xiao smiled and continued to drink with the emperor.

Today, the emperor was careful and left the restaurant after just a few drinks.

No words all night.

The next day, Chen Xiao went to the Ministry of Personnel.

The office of the Ministry of Personnel is very large and magnificent. After entering, countless officials are busy.

He revealed his identity and was taken to register by a minor official. After receiving the official seal, uniform and documents, he returned to the restaurant.

Looking at the documents and official seals in his hand, Chen Xiao was filled with emotion.

Then he changed into the official uniform in the room and asked Long Jiuling to see if he fits.

The official uniforms were the same as those in the Ming Dynasty. The sixth-rank official was in the blue official uniform. There was a round patch in front of the belly, and the sixth-rank official egret embroidered on the patch.

After wearing it, Chen Xiao looks younger and more energetic and majestic.

Putting down my clothes and putting on my official hat.

This official hat is also like the black hat of the Ming Dynasty. It is low in front and high in the back. There are an oblong hat wing on the left and right, with a net scarf inside the hat, and a hair tied around.

Not to mention, once you wear the official uniform and the black hat, you will immediately have aura.

Long Jiuling looked at Chen Xiao and was a little dazed for a moment, because Chen Xiao was quite handsome at this moment.

The fat man was also surprised and said, "Oh, it feels so much!"

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I have to go to the government office to report it."

"I am an official now, so I can't lose my style. I'll hire you a carriage." The fat man said and went.

Soon, Chen Xiao took a carriage to the Imperial Capital Government Office.

Outside the huge imperial capital government office, Chen Xiao got off the carriage and strode into the imperial capital government office. The officials on both sides bowed and bent down: "Sir!"

Chen Xiao tried not to let him have any proud expressions, but just said no.

When I entered the government office, a minor official immediately came: "I have met the adults, but I don't know the adults..."

"I am the newly appointed promoter!" Chen Xiao spoke.

"Oh, Master Promoter, your yamen's yamen's crime hall is on the west side of the yamen." The little official replied.

The procurator has a separate small yamen, which is the charge of the crime hall. Chen Xiao will have to work in the charge of the crime hall in the future.

So the little official took him there.

When he arrived at the forensic hall, Chen Xiao looked at the yamen, which was pretty good, and nodded with satisfaction.

The little official said: "Master Promotionist, you are here first, I'll go and call your subordinate officials to meet you!"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Okay, you should be pretending to be... Oh no, you should meet me!"

So the minor official left and first arrived at the Si Prison Office, and said to the newly appointed Si Prison Office: "Sir, the new Promoter is here, you go and see me!"
Chapter completed!
