Chapter 12: Get down from my position! Gaoliu City, Outer City South District, and Linjiangfang. On the plaque at the gate, there are three characters clearly written with iron hooks and silver strokes: Jiantiansi. Often various forces call this place: Linjiangsi. According to the organization of the Astronomical Observatory, the person in charge is called the Flag Bearer, who is granted the command flag and must report to the provincial capital and be registered. He had twelve people under his command, called small flags, who received salaries but were not included in the register. There is also a chief clerk who is responsible for documents and copying registers. This person is selected by the Wainansi, which is in charge of the entire southern region. As for others, such as clerks, warehouse keepers, cooks, and miscellaneous servants, they are arranged by each district branch, and the Wai Nan Si does not interfere. "The new flag bearer of Linjiangfang has been decided." At this time, a middle-aged man whispered, "As expected, it is the 'Fifth Master' who assisted the Night Watchman in solving the case."
He was dressed simply and looked quite scholarly. He was the chief clerk selected by the Wai Nan Division three years ago. However, in the past three years, the position of flag-bearer of Linjiangfang has been vacant and was replaced by Liang Hu of Qingshanfang. At this moment, Liang Hu was sitting in the main seat above, smiling slightly, but not speaking. His eyes swept across the twelve small flags below. "There has always been only Liang, the flag bearer in Linjiangfang." At this moment, a middle-aged man said proudly. "We only know Liang as the flag bearer, but we don't know the so-called Fifth Master." Another young man spoke loudly. "For the past three years, Liang has been in charge of the Qingshan and Linjiang districts. Everything has gone smoothly and his achievements are outstanding." Another young man said proudly, "Commander Zhou of the Zhengnan City Gate, the Fangzheng of Linjiangfang, the Day Patrolman and the Night Patrolman, which one of them is not convinced?" "Which of the local forces and foreign merchant caravans from all over the country are not making money through harmony under the guidance of the Liang Banner Envoy?" "Wain't it that the Wainan Division, exchanging one person for no reason, would throw the originally stable and prosperous Linjiangfang into chaos?" "Master Yang, you came from the Outer South Division. You should know the actual situation in Linjiangfang and report it to your superiors." As the young man opened his mouth, the chief clerk beside him had a calm expression, as if he had expected it. At this moment, Liang Hu shouted, "Don't be rude! Linjiangfang is safe and stable, is it my Liang Hu's credit? It is because of the concerted efforts of all parties in Linjiangfang! Among them, the credit also belongs to Yang Zhubu and the small flags..." After saying this, he looked at Yang Zhubu and said apologetically, "It was these brothers who were rude before. Please don't blame me, Yang Zhubu." Yang Zhubu looked calm and said, "Liang Zhangqi Envoy is too kind." Liang Hu nodded, but sighed and said, "It's just that you know the situation in Linjiangfang. Liang is worried that the new flag bearer is too young and inexperienced, and may not be able to do the job." Yang Zhubu exhaled and asked, "So what does Liang Zhangqishi mean?" Liang Hu cupped his hands and said, "I'm considering keeping you for another year or so to teach this Fifth Master, so that he won't be careless and make mistakes in Linjiangfang. You know, these are troubled times..." Yang Zhubu looked indifferent and said slowly, "If the new flag bearer is willing, then it's fine."
Liang Hu laughed and said, "It's okay. I will talk to him. However, there are some things in Linjiangfang, so when Yang Zhubu reports, there is no need to be too detailed." Yang Zhubu looked up and finally understood. The new flag-bearer had not arrived yet, so this scene was performed for himself first. Liang Hu intends to subdue the new flag bearer, who is known as the Fifth Master, and continue to take charge of the duties of the second district. But he still had some concerns, so he was unwilling to report the truth to the Wainan Division. "About this matter..." Before Yang Zhubu finished speaking, he noticed that the smile on Liang Hu's face suddenly froze. Seeing this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look outside. He was not a warrior and was not aware of the movement outside. But he was quite familiar with Liang Hu. Judging from Liang Hu's reaction at this moment, it must be someone from outside the door, and someone he doesn't want to see. Everyone's eyes were focused on the door. Then I saw a man walking slowly towards me under the scorching sun. The black robe with golden threads is as bright as the sun. He has a tall and straight figure and a high-spirited demeanor. There was a long sword hanging on his left waist, with a jet-black scabbard. A small crossbow with a quiver was hung on the right waist. He looked indifferent and walked slowly over the threshold and into the lobby. "Who are you? How dare you trespass into Linjiang Division?" There was a middle-aged man among the small flags, who suddenly shouted with a cold tone. "..." The man's eyes remained the same as before, and he raised his left hand. He held a small flag in his hand with the words "Linjiang" written on it. Everyone in the field looked normal. Especially the middle-aged man who had scolded earlier, there was even a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. In fact, when Lin Yan came over, everyone knew his identity as soon as they saw him wearing the unique robe of the flag bearer of the Tiantian Division. Just this one scolding symbolized Linjiang Division's attitude towards the new flag-bearer. This is too crude a show of strength... Thinking of this, Chief Clerk Yang bowed slightly and said, "Chief Clerk of Linjiang Division Yang Wang, I greet the flag bearer." This sound also represents his attitude.
As a result, Liang Hu and the twelve small flags under his command all looked very unhappy. Especially among the twelve small flags, several people glared at him. "Is this Master Wu?" Liang Hu laughed, sat at the top, and said with his hands clasped, "I am Liang Hu, the flag bearer of Qingshanfang, and I have been concurrently serving as Linjiangfang for three years. I am finally waiting for a new flag bearer to share some of the responsibilities with me. I am really happy." He waved his right hand and shouted, "Why don't you quickly give Master Wu a seat?" Immediately, a small flagman came with a chair and respectfully invited the Fifth Master to sit down. "..." Lin Yan had a calm expression as he looked at the chair beside him, then raised his head to look at the main seat. He sighed, put away the Linjiang flag and put it at his waist. Then he slowly reached out and, under everyone's gaze, grasped the hilt of the knife. Suddenly there was a flash of light! The knife is out of its sheath! The chair broke in two! The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became stagnant. Lin Yan's knife slowly shifted and pointed upwards, and he said calmly: "Get down from my position!" "Fifth Master, Liang came here to help you..." Liang Hu spoke angrily, but suddenly he felt a chill in his heart. His eyes changed slightly and his voice became lower and lower. Because he clearly sensed the murderous intent. I also remembered the other party's recent title. In a trance, he felt a chill enveloping his entire body. In a trance, there seemed to be a voice telling myself. Or just roll down. Or, the person continues to sit here with his head rolling down. "..." In a silent atmosphere. Everyone felt a chill at once. Even the twelve small flags loyal to Liang Hu felt a chill at this moment. They wanted to speak out in support, but their bodies became stiff. This new flag bearer is much more ferocious than the rumors say! They all looked towards Liang, the flag bearer, unconsciously, only to find that Liang Hu, who was facing the blade, had an extremely strange expression on his face. The next moment, he slowly stood up. The hearts of the twelve little flags sank.
Liang Hu slowly turned sideways and retreated to the side, his face livid. Lin Yan's sword was not sheathed yet. He just held the sword in his hand and walked to the upper seat. He sat down slowly and looked down at everyone. When his eyes swept over, no one dared to greet him. They all lowered their heads and eyebrows, not daring to look directly at him. A mob... Lin Yan thought so in his heart, his eyes as usual, finally falling on Liang Hu at the lower left. "Liang, the flag bearer, is here as a guest at Linjiang Division. What advice do you have for me?"
