Chapter 4 Establishing a Person

"Uncle Lin!"

After seeing Ge Dan, he hurriedly greeted Ge Lin. This was the old man who followed his father. He must have enough respect for him. This is definitely not for his twin daughters. Ge Dan is not that kind of person.

Ge Lin nodded with a smile, and then said to Ge Dan: "I have heard about the case. If you can't find out anything, don't go to the court first. A murder case like this is a major case and cannot be tried in the second hall, but it must be in the lobby. The young master has just arrived in Danyang for only three days. If the case is omitted, the change will make you, the county magistrate, show your timidity. It's better to take it slowly and drag it down."

After hearing Ge Lin's words, Ge Dan was stunned at first, and then the expression on his face became serious: "I would like to ask Uncle Lin for advice!"

Seeing Ge Dan's attitude, Ge Lin narrowed his eyes even more sharply. He stroked his goatee and said, "When the young master was in the Six Divisions to observe politics, the master tried his best to choose a good starting point for the young master's career. In the end, he chose Danyang for you. Does the young master know why?"

Ge Dan shook his head. How could he know about this? He was no longer the same person. How could Ge Dan know the twists and turns of the officialdom in his previous life? Besides, this is still the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

"The young master was a second-level Jinshi and was not selected as a Shujishi. It was originally the most suitable thing to stay in the six ministries in the capital. He had the master's connections and worked for a few years to be the head of the six ministries. At that time, he would be at least a Tongzhi. After the Tongzhi, he would be transferred to the prefect, which was a matter of course. This was the best way to advance, safe and leisurely."

"At the same time, it is best to not leave the prosperous place of the capital, but the master cannot do this."

"In the capital now, eunuchs and relatives are rampant. Whether it is Wang Zhi or the family of thousands of relatives, they are not fuel-efficient. In recent years, the capital will become more and more chaotic. If you work in the capital, you will be unstable. The master is not safe enough to protect himself, let alone pave the way for the young master. In this way, working in the local area is the best thing. In this case, the young master has the arrangement to leave Beijing to become an official."

"Why were you arranged to Danyang? On the one hand, it was to keep the young master away from the capital, and on the other hand, the Jiangnan area was prosperous and prosperous, so that you would not suffer too much. I didn't go to Yingtian Mansion because it was too eye-catching, and there were six southern ministries and too many yamen. The master was out of reach, so I couldn't let the Qinhuai River corrupt your fighting spirit. Danyang belongs to Zhenjiang Mansion, and Zhenjiang Mansion belongs to Nanzhili. It was not far or near, just right."

"Danyang County is not a rich county, but not a poor county. It is not easy to achieve results, but it is not easy to get into trouble. As long as you can get a first-class position, there will be no problem with the promotion at that time."

After hearing Ge Lin's words, Ge Dan sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being the officialdom he yearned for in his previous life. It was indeed a place with deep water. That's how you choose an official!

He followed the capital to observe politics, and then he sought a leisurely position in the capital to get a grade. When the grade level was up, he was sent out and then to be a rank official outside to seek to be transferred to the capital and go straight to the center. It seems that this is the routine of the imperial officials to train second-generation officials. Ge Dan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had encountered the era of Wang Zhi, otherwise he would have been wandering in the capital now.

"Uncle Lin, since that's the case, why not work in one of the six ministries in Nanjing, or find a deputy in other prefectures?" Ge Dan couldn't help but ask.

"The six ministries in Nanjing are mostly officials who are demoted or retired. Most of them want to leave there. In addition, Nanjing is complex and eye-catching, and it is not suitable for you to enter and exit the officialdom as a starting point. As for a deputy in another prefecture, it is necessary to get a seniority after having a grade. The best thing for the young master now is to sit in the magistrate, and if he does a good job, he will be transferred to Shangxian or Guoxian. It is naturally the best way to transfer to the state."

"But these are things that will happen in the future. No one knows what will happen in the future. It's just that the young master Danyang will be able to pass through the peace of Ping'an."

Ge Dan nodded again, feeling some confidence in his heart, and more excited. Xiaobai, who had just entered the officialdom, had seen some things in the officialdom.

"Then is there any explanation for Uncle Lin's case this time?" Ge Dan thought about it and said to Ge Lin again.

"You just arrived in Danyang, you should be safe and secure. First, find out the situation in Danyang, win over the inside and outside of the yamen, and make good friends with local gentry. This is the first priority." Speaking of this, Ge Lin said helplessly: "I didn't expect that such a case will be a little more troublesome now. Once the case is omitted, the young master will be looked down upon!"

Ge Dan understood this. If there was no case this time, then he could get up and develop slowly. In a word, develop lewdly, don’t be sloppy.

But now that this case has occurred, no matter whether it is the yamen, the gentry and students outside, or even the colleagues of Shangguan, they will all wait for Ge Dan to see the skills of Ge Dan, the new county magistrate, and weigh Ge Dan's weight. It means this is called a survey. No matter what you do, once someone touches it, you will lose any advantage.

This is the case of Ge Dan now. A murder case is enough to determine the ability of an official, so Ge ​​Lin is worried.

"What if I solved this case by myself?"

Ge Dan couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind. It was not Ge Dan's random thoughts, but he felt that he was the male protagonist who had cheated. This was impossible. Ge Dan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ge Lin and asked, "Uncle Lin, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, if I can solve this case as soon as possible? For example, today I can find the real murderer and follow the law to the real murderer's rope?"

Although Ge Dan has no experience in criminal investigation, Ge Dan can easily draw a conclusion based on Guangwang's judgment, that is, adultery and murder.

In this case, the murderer must be around the deceased. All he had to do was to confirm the identity of the deceased. Whether it was fingerprints or lie detection, Ge Dan believed that he could find the murderer quickly.

Ge Lin turned his head and squinted his eyes at Ge Dan, and the expression on his face slowly became serious: "Young Master is sure?"

"Yes!" Ge Dan nodded.

"If this is the case, then the young master can start from this aspect." Ge Lin thought for a while and said, "It is of course a good thing to create an official who is good at solving cases, his eyes are like lightning, and he is quite good at the way of punishment. In this way, no one dares to underestimate the young master. Not only is he not worried about being surveyed, but he can also establish his authority. Of course, it is a good thing, but is the young master really sure?"

"Really!"
