All morning, all the departments and subordinates of the Criminal Department were busy, but Yang Fan, the chief official of the "Small Criminal Department", was bedridden.
When Luo Ling tiptoed into his office on Chen Langzhong's orders and walked around behind the screen, he saw Yang Fan lying on the quilt on his body and was already asleep.
Luo Ling couldn't help laughing, stood on the edge of the couch and snickered, then stepped forward and gently patted Yang Fan's shoulder, and called: "Langzhong Yang Langzhong" "Hmm" Yang Fan opened his eyes, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then immediately brightened, and suddenly fixed on Luo Ling's face.
Yang Fan's eyes were very bright, and they were even sharper in the dim light of the inner room, Luo Ling had a feeling of being stabbed, he subconsciously took a step back, and then bowed down and said, "Chen Langzhong, please Yang Langzhong over, and we will have lunch in a while." ” Yang Fan turned over and sat up, put on his official boots, got up and straightened his clothes, and walked out with Luo Ling.
Yang Fan didn't pretend, he was really asleep, he was lying there alone and thinking about something, and he came up unconsciously.
On the one hand, it was because of last night's love with Xiaoman, when it was nearly three watches, and on the other hand, it was also affected by the season, the so-called spring sleepiness and autumn deficiency, which was the early autumn season, and it was natural to feel sleepy when there was nothing to do.
Although he didn't sleep for a long time, he was full of energy, and when he arrived at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, he felt that the air was fresh, Yang Fan couldn't help but straighten his waist, stretched his body, and only listened to the rattling of the bones all over his body, like soybeans stir-fried in an iron pot.
Luo Ling secretly said: "This person has such a strong physique, and he is worthy of being a military general." ” Thinking of Princess Taiping, Luo Ling couldn't help but have a warm feeling in his heart: "No wonder I can get the favor of Her Royal Highness the Princess, it turns out hehe" Because it was almost noon and it was time for lunch, the staff of the various departments had consciously stopped coming at this time, and Chen Langzhong's spacious office room was much more deserted.
Yang Fan entered the suite, only to see that there were only two clerks in the outer room who were transcribing something, and there was no one else.
Yang Fan followed Luo Ling into the inner room again, and saw that there were tall cases piled up on the case, like a crooked and slanted city wall, more than two feet high.
Chen Langzhong crouched on the desk and wrote hard, looking over from the top of the case, he could only see his slightly swaying head.
Hearing that Yang Fan had arrived, Chen Dong raised his head and smiled, put the pen aside, walked out from behind the case, rubbed his shoulders, and said with a courteous smile: "Yang Langzhong, please take a seat, please sit down, today the new official takes office, how do you feel in this criminal department?"
Yang Fan said with a smile: "You and I colleagues, we will work together for a long time in the future, why do you do so politely."
Yang Fan's cousin Yuanfang, Brother Chen just called me the cousin, so it also seemed more cordial. ” Yang Fan's expression was obtained by Di Renjie for him, but later the two "parted ways", and the coronation ceremony was not held for him.
Most of the people who are close to Yang Fan are in the military, and these people rarely learn the set of things of literati, and those close to him only call him Erlang according to the ranking of his family, so since the crown, he has used this word for the first time.
Chen Dong's rank is three levels lower than Yang Fan's, and his position is half a block shorter than Yang Fan's, so he was not qualified to call him a cousin, but he unintentionally ignored this point.
Chen Dong happily agreed to Yang Fan's request, and exchanged words with Yang Fan.
Chen Dong invited him to sit down, pointed to the mountain of official letters on the desk, shook his head in distress and said: "Alas, this criminal department is really busy, Yuan Fang, you see that my brother hasn't even raised his head this morning, and there are still so many lines that can't be handled."
Yuan Fang is here now, and I have a lot of peace of mind. ” Yang Fan smiled and said: "I'm ashamed, the younger brother just came to report to the Criminal Department, and all my colleagues have not yet become acquainted with each other, and they are even more rusty in affairs, it is difficult to share the worries of Brother Shuzhi, and Brother Shuzhi still has to work more for those who are capable."
Chen Dong smiled and waved his hand, diverting the topic and said: "When Yuan Fang has nothing to do, you might as well go around, and after a few days of hard work, the colleagues in this torture court will become familiar." ” The two of them talked and laughed at Yan Yan, and they were harmonious, Chen Dong didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with Yang Fan, the chief officer, not handing over any affairs after he arrived, and Yang Fan didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with this.
The two of them chatted about some very unnutritious topics again, and it was time to supplement nutrition, Chen Dong got up and said, "The hour is almost up, let's go to dinner." ” Yang Fan walked out side by side with him, and Chen Dong pointed all the way, explaining to Yang Fan which functional departments were in the courtyards along the way.
In fact, there is a sign hanging at the door of the courtyard, even if he doesn't say it, Yang Fan can understand it, but he will explain the name and surname of the chief official here and his personal evaluation of the chief officer, but this is not written on the sign.
The officials and officials of the various yamen also came out at this time and gradually joined them all the way.
Chen Dong was full of spring breeze, sometimes saying hello to this one, sometimes joking with that one, most of these officials were affectionate when they saw Chen Dong, but everyone seemed to ignore Yang Fan's existence.
Even the Zhu Shi Lang and the Wai Lang who met with Yang Fan at the Servant of the Criminal Department this morning seemed to treat him as a complete stranger.
When Yang Fan saw this scene, he consciously regarded himself as air, without saying a word, always with a harmless smile on his face, and his expression was shy, just like when he was stared at by those big girls and little daughters-in-law when he was in Xiuwenfang.
Seeing Yang Fan's reaction like this, when some people looked at him again, there was a taste of disdain in their eyes, Yang Fan seemed to be completely unaware, but smiled more happily.
The place where the criminal department manages lunch is called the public kitchen, which is what later generations called the "unit canteen".
Speaking of which, this "unit canteen" was first started by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin once discovered by chance that because the time of the early court was too early, some officials did not have time to eat, and some people bought some food halfway and stood under the palace gate to chew, which really lost the dignity of officials, so he prepared breakfast for the officials under the corridor of the Jinluan Palace.
Naturally, this method was very popular with officials.
In the past, when officials ate lunch, they would rely on their families to prepare it and send it to the government office, or they would bring a food box in the morning.
Officials from poorer families will save this meal at noon, and those from wealthy families will choose to go out to eat restaurants.
It is conceivable that in this way, everyone's meal time is different, and the length of the meal time is also different, and the office time in the afternoon cannot be unified.
Now the emperor invented the publicly-funded breakfast, and the subordinates followed suit, so they made a free lunch, which was promoted to other official offices in Beijing and local yamen at all levels, and has since become customized.
Yang Fan was originally in the army, and he originally ate public meals, and he didn't know that serving lunch in the yamen was a rule that had only started in this dynasty, so he was not surprised that the yamen was in charge of food.
He followed Chen Dong into the kitchen hall, and saw that it was neatly and neatly placed, with many small cases, and there was a couch behind each case.
According to the ancient rites, the meal system is still practiced.
As soon as they entered the public kitchen, everyone walked to their positions, and Yang Fan followed Chen Dong to the top and cleanest seats and sat down, and the servants in the kitchen brought their meals first.
Each person has a food plate, which contains various dishes, a wooden rice bucket, and a white tin wine jug.
The meal is very rich, according to the grade, the standard of four to five products is seven plates of dishes, two liters of fine rice or two liters of pasta, three points of mutton, two petals of melons and fruits to be eaten after the meal, and Yang Fan was surprised that there was actually a liter and a half of fine wine.
When Yang Fan was in the forbidden army, he ate absolutely not as richly, and it was impossible to drink alcohol.
The people who dine here are arranged in the order of official rank, each person has a couch in front of him, Yang Fan did not see Lord Shilang, it seems that this chief official is privileged, and someone will send the food to his official room, or it is not necessary to be invited to the restaurant.
Yang Fan glanced away, and saw that there were fewer dishes on the table of those outsiders, Ling Shi, Shu Lingshi and others than on their side, and there was no wine on the table.
This humility is also reflected at the dinner table.

Several Lang Zhong from the Fourth Division of the Criminal Department came, Yang Fan had already met with them at Cui Shilang in the morning, and at this time they were noisy and sat down, but Chen Dong and Yan Xiaojun sat opposite each other, Sun Yuxuan in Duguan Lang and Bibu Lang Zhong Pi Erding sat opposite each other, Yang Fan's seat was vacant alone, but there was a hall pillar opposite.
There was a university question at the dinner table.
After experiencing the intrigue scene of the Wu family banquet, Yang Fan was deeply touched by this.
At the same time, he also believes that an occasion like a public chef with a daily meal is not a temporary gathering, people will be more relaxed, and many of their usual habits will be less careful to cover up, so he can see more things on such occasions.
While eating, Yang Fan observed the two subordinates of the company, the four directors, looked at it seriously for a while, then withdrew his gaze and bet on the four Langzhong, including the right Langzhong of the company.
Soon, he tasted something unusual.
Chen Dong and Yan Xiaojun in Simon Lang seem to be more compatible, and the two of them talk and laugh the most times at the dinner table, and they chat for the longest time.
And Sun Yuxuan in Duguan Lang and Bibu Lang Zhongpi Erding are closer, these two people talk and laugh freely, and they communicate with each other the most.
Coincidentally, Chen Dong and Yan Xiaojun sat opposite each other, and Sun Yuxuan and Pi Erding also sat opposite each other, obviously this kind of sitting position has a very close relationship with their usual close relationship.
Working with the same government, being an official under one roof, as long as the temperament and temper are more agreeable, they will naturally be closer at the dinner table, and they may not be like-minded friends between the two, and Yang Fan will certainly not conclude from this which of them is the same faction.
However, although the intimate and affectionate people at the dinner table may not be friends, the people who are cold to each other and don't even bother to talk must not be friends, so Yang Fan can basically determine that the relationship between the Criminal Department and the Division of the Ministry of Justice is closer, and the relationship between the Ministry of Justice and the Department of Justice is more harmonious.
It is impossible for Yang Fan to analyze the greasy here all at once, and now he wants to compete with Chen Dong for power, Yan Xiaojun, who has the closest relationship with Chen Dong, is naturally excluded by him, if nothing else, the first official at the same level he wants to fight for should be one of Pi Erding and Sun Yuxuan.
Soon, Yang Fan's attention fell on Sun Yuxuan.
Sun Yuxuan is a drunkard in Duguan Lang, and a drunkard is a drunkard, but Sun Yuxuan is not the kind of drunkard who is bloated and delirious, and gets drunk with a red rosacea nose.
After Wu Zetian took power, the Shandong nobles and the Guanlong nobles successively became enemies of her, and most of the scholars came from these two forces.
However, this selection process is too long, and only a dozen or twenty Jinshi can be selected every year, and it is inevitable that the family will occupy most of the places, and how many children of the Han family can she really promote.
In desperation, she can only "stick to one pattern", as long as she is willing to be loyal to her use and has some scheming methods, she is illiterate, and she is also promoted and reused, so there are illiterate judges such as Lai Junchen and Hou Sizhi.
But even if these illiterate people are illiterate, they are still up to standard in appearance, like that Junchen, not to mention the standard, he is simply a beautiful man, rich as jade, handsome and extraordinary, although it is only gold and jade, it is very pleasing to the eye.
This Sun Yuxuan is an extremely handsome man, although he is around forty, his body is still strong, his facial features are neat, and his beard under his chin is also very neatly trimmed.
It's just that this person has a very good cup in his hand, and he has a feeling in the world, and he doesn't need to work hard at all, and he drank all the fine wine of one and a half liters, and then he could only look at the wine jug on other people's desks.
When he glanced at Yang Fan's motionless jug of wine for the fourth time, Yang Fan smiled, suddenly lifted the jug, and stood up.
Yang Fan took office as a new official, don't look at the other Lang Zhong talking and laughing freely, except for the enthusiasm for Yang Fan at the beginning, and then deliberately put him aside, in fact, he has been paying attention to his actions, Yang Fan is together, and several eyes are focused on him at the same time.
Yang Fan walked up to Sun Yuxuan, put down the wine jug, and said with a smile: "When I was in the army, General Yehuli often told me that a person who is good at wine must have a cheerful temperament and a broad heart.
Give this pot of wine to Brother Sun. ” Sun Yuxuan was stunned, and hurriedly excused himself: "It's not proper, everyone has a rule for drinking, how can Sun take advantage of Yang Langzhong's wine." ” Yang Fan said with a smile: "Although Yang was born in the military, he was born without alcohol, and as soon as the wine touched his lips, he would get drunk, and when he woke up the next day, he had a splitting headache, so he didn't dare to touch this wine."
Since Brother Sun is a good wine, this wine should be owned by Brother Sun, otherwise wouldn't it be cheaper for those cooks?
” Sun Yuxuan has a lot of wine, a pot of wine has just aroused his wine worms, if there is no wine to accompany the meal, even those dishes are tasteless, hearing Yang Fan say this, he will no longer shirk, just laughed, took the wine pot and said: "Since this is the case, then thank you Yang Langzhong."
Yang Fan said with a smile: "Brother Sun is polite, this wine must be equipped for every meal, and Yang will inform the chef when he turns around, Yang Mou's wine of one and a half liters will be given to Brother Sun every day." ” Sun Yuxuan smiled when he heard this, thanked him again and again, and without waiting for Yang Fan to return to his seat, he grabbed the wine jug and poured it hard.
Chen Dong watched from the side, slowly took a mouthful of stewed mutton and stuffed it into his mouth, took a sip of wine again, and a trace of disdain escaped from his lips: "This person is not blindly ignorant.
It's just that in this yamen, even if it is a small official from Jiupin, he is a slippery loach-like human spirit, and he wants to buy a Langzhong with a pot of wine, such a naïve boy. ” Of course, Yang Fan didn't think that this would be able to buy Sun Yuxuan.
This pot of wine itself has no meaning, but a pot of wine every day Sun Yuxuan ate his wine, at least be polite to him.
Every move at the dinner table, not only is he paying attention, but the petty officials below will pay more attention, just some polite exchanges, it is enough to convey such a message to the officials below: He Yang Langzhong is not isolated by everyone.
The outsiders who are close at hand can listen to their words in their ears, can see their manners in their eyes, and can understand all the details, but the principals who are far away can only see their movements and expressions, and they can't hear what they are saying The dissemination of information in officialdom has the effect of exaggerating in diffusion, let alone a performance of seeing flowers in the fog.
If he wants to break the ice, he must at least make the cold wind a little less.
Before counterattacking, he had to weaken the momentum deliberately created by the opponent a little bit.
After lunch, returning to the courtyard of the Division, Luo Ling moved a few stools and put them under the laurel tree, Yang Fan and Chen Dong sat on the bench and set up the Longmen array for a while, and the two members of the same team, Zuo Yuanqing and Cao Qigen, also arrived at the compound, sat down and chatted together, and after a while, two of the four principals also came to have fun.
Everyone got together and had a good time, but they maintained absolute respect for the two Lang Zhong in their words and deeds, and anyone who looked at it was a harmonious and intimate group, and it was impossible to see that Yang Fan, the chief officer, was the one who was overturned and excluded.
In particular, Feng Xihui, the director of the Criminal Division, was flattering and sycophant, and told Yang Fan's glorious deeds of winning the inner court and winning the Tubo victory over Tubo one by one, and the words of praise were numb to the point that even Yang Fan had goosebumps, but his face did not change and he was calm.
A person who can shoot him to the point of crying ghosts and gods like this, is really a talent.
However, as soon as the bell rang for office hours in the afternoon, all the officials seemed to have a signal, got up one after another, and rushed back to their offices, and the compound immediately became empty.
Yang Fan stood quietly for a while, smiled inexplicably, then put up his hands and shook back to his empty and somewhat scary signing room.
Luo Ling, who had been hiding behind the door of Chen Langzhong's detention room and watching the movement outside, smiled slyly, and then came out to clean up the stool.
Yang Fan slept in the morning, and he didn't feel sleepy in the afternoon, but he sat alone in an empty room and had nothing to do, he expected that no one would come in the whole afternoon, so he sat cross-legged behind the bookcase, closed his eyes, and practiced vomiting.
Half an hour later, Yang Fan's breathing was interrupted, and he entered the realm of fetal breath, looking inward, guarding the dantian, and I don't know how long it took, Yang Fan woke up from the state of fetal breath, suddenly opened his eyes, and couldn't help but scream in fright for a person in front of him, and sat on the ground with a butt To be continued:
