Seeing that Cheng Wuting, the chief clerk, was actually showing respect to him, Di Renjie felt very strange, but he didn't know what was going on. He hurriedly bowed to Cheng Wuting and returned the greeting, but he didn't say anything arrogant enough to call Cheng Wuting "Brother Wuting".

First, it was the first time they met. No matter how polite they were, the relationship between them was far from reaching the level of greeting and answering according to each other's courtesy names.

Second, according to the normal rules of officialdom, Cheng Wuting, the chief clerk of the Grand Marshal's Office and the General of the Left Guard, and Di Renjie, the assistant general of the Grand Marshal's Office, were in a formal relationship between a superior and a subordinate.

According to the etiquette of superiors and subordinates, whether in public or private, only the Chief Clerk Cheng Wuting could address Di Renjie by his courtesy name, while Di Renjie could never address him by the courtesy name of the Chief Clerk Cheng.

Besides, the Chief Clerk of the Grand Military Governor's Office and the General of the Left Guard, Cheng Wuting, was a high-ranking official of the third rank, wearing purple clothes and a golden fish symbol hanging from his waist. His status and position were naturally honorable and distinguished.

And Di Renjie was just a mere sixth-rank officer of the Law Officer of the Grand Military Governor's Office of Bingzhou. The official rank and status of the two were very different.

The Chief Clerk Cheng was able to address him as "Brother Huaiying" when they first met, which was already a condescending gesture, which was quite rare.

How could Di Renjie dare to address a superior who was much higher in rank and status than himself, and even a few years older than him, as "Brother Wu Ting"? !

Therefore, while Di Renjie bowed to return the greeting, he also said modestly: "Mingsir, this move is really embarrassing for me!"

"I can't bear it!"

"Mingsir, you are in a high position and honored. How dare I, Di, call myself 'Brother Huaiying'? You can call me by my courtesy name, 'Huaiying'..."

...

Ming Dachangshi Cheng Gong and his brother Di Ren, who met for the first time, greeted and answered, showed respect to the wise, apologized, confessed, and were humble and refused...

They themselves didn't feel anything about this lengthy performance of "pretending to be so-so".

However, these well-formed and well-received etiquette actions made the two eunuchs hiding behind the screen in the side room anxious and worried!

Among them, the head of the Royal Internal Security Secret Service, the Inner Envoy Supervisor He Wei was the worst!

If it weren't for the fact that the two eunuchs were afraid that their rudeness, impropriety, usurpation and interference would annoy Cheng Dachangshi or cause catastrophic consequences, I think the Inner Envoy Supervisor He Wei would definitely not care. Just like that, he jumped out from behind the screen, pulled Di Renjie's collar, and asked him all the questions he wanted to ask him.

Although according to him and Pan Liang, they were very good and superbAs for Di Renjie's martial arts skills and super six senses, when Di Renjie and Sima Zuo Gaoping came to the door of the side room of the flower hall, the inner audience supervisor He Wei and the head of the compilation department Pan Liang clearly saw Di Renjie's facial expressions, posture, and steps.

From the direct sensory level, these two inner guards have already made a preliminary conclusion that Di Renjie is okay.

But...

But, that is just an impression from a distance.

If we carefully measure it by the evaluation criteria of the imperial examination, "writing, speech, body, and judgment", it is indeed not just a little bit worse, it really doesn't count!

If these poor and shabby people are really jealous, they are really enough to make people feel jealous!

You, Cheng Wuting, as the chief officer of Bingzhou Grand Commandery, as a powerful general of the Left Guard with a large number of troops, don't you know the principle of "no time is too late, and speed is of the essence"? !

If you can set off earlier, it is very likely that you will be able to seize the initiative and take the lead in the subsequent investigation of the case, and play an unimaginable key role...

Why do you still have so many salty thoughts, standing at the door of the side room of the flower hall, taking the lead, and grinding your teeth? !

It's really nonsense!

Although the hearts of the two powerful eunuchs of the Royal Guard, He Wei, the head of the Secret Service Department of the Internal Guard, and Pan Liang, the head of the Compilation Department and the Internal Guard, are as clear as a mirror.

This time, they went to Yunzhou in northern Shanxi, the scene of the murder, Jinchuan Posthouse, and participated in the investigation of the murder. They were not the only ones involved. The elite imperial guards were the kind of people who could leave at any time, get on their horses, come and go like the wind, and disappear without a trace. They did not need to consider any logistics issues such as eating, drinking, defecating, etc.

Let's not talk about anything else for now. Just the guard army, the more than 2,400 elite armored knights, the food, the march and the camp, all the aspects that need to be considered are not things that can be handled in a short time.

At the very least, it will take two to three hours.

Even so, it was the most elite armored cavalry under the command of Cheng Wuting, the chief of the Grand Commander's Office and the general of the left guard, and the mobilization and departure of the Grand Commander's Office.

That is to say, even if He Wei and Pan Liang, the two powerful eunuchs of the Royal Guard, were anxious and anxious in their hearts, they would have to wait here until the third quarter of the evening hour if they really wanted to set off.

It really makes people...

Huh? !

When someone was secretly criticizing Cheng Wuting, Sima Zuo Gaoping, and Di Renjie, the so-called poor and poor people and the big turbans seemed to include Cheng Da Changshi in their criticism?

This is a huge fallacy!

He, Cheng Wuting, is a typical official nobleman, and a typical soldier!

……

At the door of the side room of the flower hall, the "pretentious" courtesy and greetings between Cheng Dachangshi, Sima Zuo Gaoping, and Di Renjie continued as usual.

Cheng Wuting, who was eager to follow the advice, really called Di Renjie by his courtesy name, "Huaiying" in the following greetings, and never used the title "Brother Huaiying" again.

“…”

“Is Huaiying safe and sound?!”

“Thank you for your concern!”

“I am in good health and have no hidden worries.”

“Good! That’s good. Haha, I have often heard of Huaiying’s name since I took office as the Chief of Bingzhou Grand Military Governor’s Office. He is really well-known!”

“I originally thought that I would find a good opportunity to go to Huaiying’s house in person, visit him, have a chat, drink and talk about the past and present, and the local customs. Wouldn’t it be great?!”

“However, at the beginning of taking office, there were so many things to do and so many things to do. It took several months to waste time. After sorting out the beginning and the end, settling down, and taking some free time, I saw that it was already now. ”

“Today, I heard Huaiying’s name again from Zuo Changning. His concise words were enough to explain Huaiying’s loyalty to the country and his maturity. I was very pleased and naturally yearned for Huaiying’s demeanor and style!”

“I originally wanted to personally invite Huaiying to come and have a chat, but since we were strangers, I was afraid that I would run into a wall with Huaiying. Therefore, I asked Zuo Changning to send his personal attendant to invite Huaiying to come here and have a chat.”
