Chapter 105: The Six Gates invite me to join?
The black horse turned into a residual shadow, and before it arrived, its terrifying momentum turned into a sharp sword, cutting through the crowd on the street.
The horse stood up, stepped on the ground with its front hooves forcefully, its muscles flowed like water waves, and long streams of air visible to the naked eye spurted out of its nostrils.
A knight dressed in a heavy brocade robe with a silver cloud eagle pattern on it shouted loudly, and his penetrating voice drowned out the noise of hundreds of people.
Cloud Eagle Tiqi!
The visitor's attire was too striking.
A white brocade battle robe with silver thread patterns.
Cloud Eagle service!
As famous as the Feiyufu of the Dashun Jinyiwei!
The person who came was the chief constable from the Sanfasi Yamen!
It may sound unfamiliar to call it the Sanfasi Yamen, but it may sound more familiar if you use another name.
"Six doors!"
The gate is the most striking feature of a building, and its shape is strictly restricted by laws and etiquette.
No matter how big the county or prefecture is, the main gate can only have three bays, each with two black lacquered doors, for a total of six doors.
The Six Gates refers to the collective name of the three judicial offices, namely the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Censorate!
The so-called three-court trial is a joint trial meeting composed of the heads of these three departments: the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Supreme Court, and the Chief Censor.
Therefore, the three judicial offices that are responsible for various major cases, arresting criminals, and bringing them for interrogation naturally have their own exclusive armed force, which is the Yunying Tiqi.
Every Cloud Eagle Rider has the strength to gallop on a horse!
Seeing such a powerful person, the village elders who followed Liang Qu were all shocked.
Not to mention the small towns, even in the county, there is no such big man.
Liang Qu stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully: "I wonder what the Lord of the Imperial Guards wants to see me about?"
"Are you Liang Qu?" The young Ti rider on the black horse looked at him.
"Yes, I am Liang Qu from Yixing City. There is no one with the same name as me in the village. The village elders can testify to this."
Chen Zhaoan and others nodded repeatedly.
Only then did Liang Qu feel the blood vessels under the horse's skin beating violently. The horse's heart was beating as violently as if it had run hundreds of miles without rest.
If he is not yet a galloping horse, he can only be a Cloud Eagle candidate and can wear a white battle robe, but there will definitely be no Cloud Eagle pattern on his clothes.
The Tiqi in front of him was definitely a horse-riding warrior, truly extraordinary.
Perhaps the horses they ride are mixed with monster blood.
Liang Qu was observing the Tiqi, and the Tiqi was also observing Liang Qu, feeling slightly surprised.
What a powerful aura!
According to the information, Liang Qu is only sixteen this year. At first glance, he seems to have the strength of three or four levels, but upon closer inspection, it seems that he is only at two levels?
Born extraordinary?
I didn't expect that such a small rural town could be home to so many hidden talents.
Zhang Zhiyun bowed slightly, dismounted, took off the badge from his waist and showed it to everyone.
"Zhang Zhiyun, the bronze captain of the Third Law Department, has come to inquire about the Ghost Mother Cult!"
It turned out that he came to ask questions. Everyone suddenly realized and felt relieved.
"He knows everything but tells it."
Master Yang had said early on that someone from the Three Judicial Departments might come to question him, so he was well aware of this.
"Your Excellency, why don't you go in and talk?" Chen Zhaoan pointed to the meeting hall, "I'll ask the servants to make tea."
"Alright."
Zhang Zhiyun nodded, entered the meeting hall, found a table, took out a hardcover booklet and unfolded it.
Someone had already brought him a ground inkstone. He took out a small wolf-hair brush, dipped it in ink and said.
"Name, place of origin, gender, age."
"Liang Qu, from Yixing City, Chaojiang County, Huaiyin Prefecture, male, sixteen years old."
"When was the first time you encountered a mountain ghost? What were you doing at that time?" Zhang Zhiyun asked the question in an orderly manner.
He then asked the village elders present and randomly found a few people from outside to verify it, and signed his name at the end of the booklet.
He then handed the pen to Liang Qu and asked him to sign.
Liang Qu read it once, confirmed that the information was correct, and signed his name.
"Okay, the inquiry is over. Let's talk about what's going on between us." Zhang Zhiyun washed the wolf-hair brush and put it aside to wait for it to dry.
"What happened between us?" Liang Qu was confused. "I have met Master Zhang Zhiyun before?"
"Of course not. This is the first time we meet."
"Then Sir Zhang might as well make your words clearer."
Zhang Zhiyun's eyes were sharp: "Are you interested in joining the Three Laws Department and becoming a Cloud Eagle Rider like me?"
"Cloud Eagle Cavalry." Liang Qu fell into deep thought.
The Cloud Eagle Cavalry, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Demon Hunting Division, and joining the army are some of the best places for a warrior to go.
Not to mention the eldest senior brother, he worked his way up to the fourth rank in the Western Army, which makes him a middle-ranking officer.
In fact, the other senior brothers also have more or less official duties. The fifth senior sister and the sixth senior brother are usually not in Pingyang Town.
But he doesn't have any big demands. If he wants resources, he can just pick them up in the water.
"That's right. I see that you are still a second-level warrior, but your blood and qi are strong and extraordinary. You can also be accepted as a disciple by Lord Yang. It's just a matter of time before you can become a horse-running martial artist. Within a year, you will definitely be able to move from a Cloud Eagle reserve to a Cloud Eagle Cavalry!"
Zhang Zhiyun promoted the product tirelessly.
Of course, he was not simply excited about the opportunity. There were some influencing factors, but they were not the main ones. It was more because there would be rewards after the recommendation!
If the person you recommend passes the assessment, he or she will be rewarded with at least an intermediate martial art!
If he is promoted to a regular employee or even gains merit, his iron medal will be changed to bronze medal, and bronze medal will be changed to silver medal, and he will receive subsequent rewards as he advances through the ranks.
In Zhang Zhiyun's opinion, Liang Qu is definitely a good candidate. He is born extraordinary and will pass the assessment easily.
How can you get an intermediate level of martial arts just by talking?
Several other companions thought that coming to Yixing City for questioning was a hassle, but they didn't expect that he would get an opportunity.
“Sir Yang is indeed famous as a tiger hunter, and it would not be wrong to let him teach us, but he is only one person after all, and there are limits to what he can teach.
Our Cloud Eagle Cavalry is a huge force, with a vast amount of information, martial arts, secrets, and precious medicines. As long as you have merit, you can get anything."
The village elders standing by were filled with envy when they heard this.
Yunying Tiqi, you are an official!
He is no more than an ordinary official, but a powerful weapon of the country. He is not afraid of small officials in the county at all and can arrest anyone he wants.
If my own children and grandchildren could have such great prospects, I would have to hold a three-day banquet and go to the ancestral grave to see if there is any smoke coming out.
Liang Qu thought for a while and did not refuse immediately. He just said that he would discuss it with Master Yang.
"Okay." Zhang Zhiyun sighed slightly. He had already sensed that Liang Qu was not very willing and it was probably just an excuse.
That shouldn't be the case. The Sanfasi is such a good place, and Liang Qu is of clean character, so why would he be unwilling to go?
Not only Zhang Zhiyun, but all the village elders couldn't figure it out.
After learning literary and martial arts, shouldn't you become an official?
By the time Yixing City spreads the word, there will be people who will become high-ranking officials. Those petty officials will not dare to act recklessly and will be even more cautious when collecting taxes and kicking the bucket.
It’s not that Liang Qu didn’t want to be an official, but he felt that giving up a precious piece of land for a library was a bit of a waste of time.
The Jianghuai swamps are so vast that, relative to his personal size, they can be said to be an inexhaustible source of blessed land.
It would be nice if there was a position like water officer.
Dashun attached great importance to the control of water areas. The most important battle to defeat Daqian was the Battle of Huaihu Lake, which decided the outcome in one fell swoop and destroyed the stubborn forces in the south.
In addition, there is the famous River and Lake Office, whose chief governor is a real first-rank official.
Once a river monster comes ashore and monsters spread everywhere, the riverside office will be responsible for clearing them out as long as they are near the river basin.
Being a water official would allow you to have the best of both worlds: you can reap the benefits and stay by the water, but unfortunately there aren't many opportunities.
