Yang Baize stood under the steps and looked up at the plaque that read "Inuyama Castle Xuanwei Division". The row at the lower edge also marked the translation in Japanese.

This was the rule set by Emperor Longwu when he first conquered the Japanese area.

However, with the deepening of the education of the Japanese people, Mingyu has become the common language here, and there is no longer a need to translate in native characters. This is enough to show that this plaque probably has a long history.

To the left and right of the yamen stand two huge stone pillars half as tall as a man, with two lions lying on them. The ones under their feet are not the common stone hydrangeas in the empire, but two Koma dogs from the Japanese culture.

The guardian lion stared at the unfamiliar young man with his dark red eyes, and there was a faint buzzing sound in his chest.

Click.

Two symmetrical black gauze hat wings popped up on both sides of the crown of Yang Baize's head. He lifted up the front of his green shirt and shook it gently. A heron leaped onto his chest and sang loudly.

The two grinning lions guarding the Yamen suddenly stopped, and the vigilant light in their eyes immediately dimmed.

"Even two dead creatures bully the weak and fear the strong."

Yang Baize shook his head and smiled bitterly, cursing in his heart. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Jun, who was deliberately standing one step behind him.

"Fortunately, I found a harder one in advance."

After crossing the calf-height threshold in front of the door, Yang Baize and Li Jun walked through the long rain channel and entered the Yimen in accordance with the rules of 'live in the east and die in the west, go in and out in the east' set by the Imperial Ministry of Etiquette.

After the Yimen is the most important place in the entire Xuanwei Si Yamen, the court hall.

A public case is placed in the center, with four bright red characters "quiet" and "avoid" projected to the left and right, suspended in mid-air. The killing sticks that were usually inserted on the left and right were removed and replaced with two rows of chairs.

Although it was already Yinshi, the chairs were already full of people.

Only the first position on the left is still vacant.

"When I received the notice from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I thought that the time above had been written wrong. I didn't expect that Yang Tongzhi, you actually arrived."

What greeted him was a hearty laugh.

The speaker has a broad nose and thick lips, a beard and thick eyebrows. He is wearing a red military attaché robe. The patch on his chest is a golden-haired giant beast, and he is staring at the heron on Yang Baize's body.

"This is the garrison commander of the Inuyama City Xuanwei Division, Huang Yue."

Yang Baize bowed and saluted, "I've seen Commander Huang."

"Brother Yang, there is no need to be polite. From now on, we will be colleagues who get along day and night. There is a long way to go. Brother, you can't be so polite all the time."

Huang Yue only had Yang Baize in his eyes at the moment, and ignored Li Jun who was following him at all, and diligently led him to sit down at the empty seat.

Li Jun, who was left standing there, said nothing. He held a black umbrella and stood behind Yang Baize, watching what happened.

Today he is just a supporting role, and there is no need for such meaningless limelight.

"Except for Mr. Xuanweisheng who has returned to the empire in accordance with the imperial edict, all other colleagues in our yamen have arrived."

Huang Yue sat at the front of the right row and said with a smile: "Shall I introduce you to each brother one by one?"

"No need to trouble Commander Huang."

Yang Baize declined the other party's kindness and raised his eyes to look at the Confucian scholar sitting next to him.

"If I guess correctly, you should be the minister in charge of government affairs in the Xuanwei Division, Lord Luo Heluo, right?"

"I met Mr. Yang in Xialuohe."

This man named Luo He was handsome, elegant, and upright. He was exactly the same as the description of the appearance of an upright official in the history and culture of the empire.

If placed in the empire itself, it would be enough to become the standard template for ‘officials’ in major black medical clinics.

"I didn't expect Master Yang to be promoted to a sixth-grade fellow at such a young age. He is really promising at such a young age. It makes us, who are only 30 years old, still doing nothing, really ashamed."

Although he looked good, as soon as Luo He opened his mouth, a flattering look appeared on his brows.

"When the New Deal is implemented in the future, please take good care of Yang Tongzhi."

"Lord Luo, you are too polite. You are the seventh Confucian, and I am just the eighth Confucian who has just started. According to the old rule of Confucianism, 'the master is the teacher', I still have to call you senior brother."

Although Yang Baize was serving as an official for the first time, during the period of studying with Pei Xingjian, he was already familiar with the flattery in the officialdom.

Immediately, they just smiled and complimented each other with Luo He, and then turned their attention to the remaining four people.

"The four Japanese people from Inuyama Castle are all fine, right?"

Inuyama Castle is divided into five major areas, southeast, northwest, and middle. Except for the Central District Qin Du Shi who fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei, the remaining four are all here.

"My subordinates have met Yang Tongzhi." All the officials from the four districts stood up at the same time and bowed their hands to Yang Baize.

The slightly blunt words fell into Li Jun's ears, and he couldn't help but raise his brows.

These people are Japanese people.

But then he remembered something that Gui Wangda once introduced to him about the Xuanwei Si Yamen.

In the early days of the establishment of the Japanese area, there were three pillars: Xuanwei Si Yamen, Garrison Army Town and Jinyiwei.

There are reasons for mutual collaboration, as well as considerations for checks and balances.

The garrison town is responsible for maintaining order, the Xuanwei Si Yamen is responsible for maintaining public security, and the Jinyiwei is undoubtedly responsible for combating Honghu and other rebel organizations operating in the Japanese areas.

However, after the ‘Dachao Debate’, the New Donglin Party implemented a policy of ‘education’. In order to appease the people, he ordered all the garrison to be withdrawn to the no-man's land outside the ten cities, and they were not allowed to easily enter the city to disturb the people's lives.

Therefore, the pressure on the Xuanwei Si Yamen increased sharply, and they had to expand the number of garrison guards in each city and at the same time recruit well-known local Japanese people to serve as capital officials, acting as a lubricant between the Xuanwei Si and the people.

These Japanese people who can become the capital are either heads of families with big surnames in the city, or have descendants working in important enterprises of the sequence, or they themselves have entered the sequence.

On weekdays, they are mainly responsible for the Central District Municipal Affairs Bureau, and they can be regarded as the important backbone of Xuanwei Si Yamen.

"The future stability of Inuyama Castle requires everyone's concerted efforts."

The four people nodded and bowed, and agreed in unison: "Please rest assured, Yang Tongzhi."

"No wonder brother, you don't need me to introduce you. It turns out you have done your homework a long time ago. Since we have met each other, why not strengthen our relationship?"

Huang Yue spoke boldly, stood up, raised his hand, and clapped it in the air.

The Yanren servants who had been waiting nearby immediately filed in, carrying a variety of drinks and dishes on trays in their hands.

Upon seeing this, the other five people stood up and prepared to sit down.

Only Yang Baize sat in his original position, unmoving.

"Brother, are you tired?"

Huang Yue's face froze, and then he made a look of sudden realization. He patted his forehead and said, "I didn't think carefully. It's a thousand miles from Chongqing to the Japanese area. It's been a long and tiring journey all the way. I must be very tired now." Bar."

"How about this, let's raise a drink together, and let's take it as a blessing to you, brother Yang, and then you go and rest, brother?"
