Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 5883

[Chapter 5790: Zi Zhen is an official?]

Although others could not feel it, Zizhen had actually been arguing with Si Fangyin.

Of course, perhaps Si Fangyin himself did not think that this was a kind of argument, but rather a game of…cat and mouse?

At this moment!

In the Bingbu Temple Secretary Hall, Si Fangyin was sitting in the main hall, convening a meeting of officials above the seventh rank of the Bingbu Temple Secretary Hall.

He advocated that all the judges, temple officials, chief clerks, and prison guards of the entire Bingbu Temple Secretary Hall should be present, a total of about nearly a hundred people… These people are all elites above the middle level of Tianyu Temple, and are all backbone figures in charge of criminal trials. They basically have some backgrounds, complicated relationships, and deep hearts, and they are not easy to mess with.

Zizhen, as Kun Tianchen’s “deputy”, is really an official title, not even comparable to the ninth rank of the secretary and prison guard, so she would definitely not be able to participate in this meeting normally.

But this time, Si Fangyin specifically asked her to come.

At this moment, when everyone entered and took their seats, Si Fangyin, who was at the highest point, looked at Kun Tianchen below and said with a smile: “Brother Kuntian, today’s meeting is mainly to recruit capable people from your subordinates!”

This opening remark immediately froze the atmosphere. The temple chief, the chief clerk, and several prison guards who were still talking and laughing before, all put away their smiles, and their expressions were either trembling or intriguing.

Lan Yuandao and Yue Xiqian, who were on the left and right of Si Fangyin, also looked at each other. The calmness in their eyes was actually a kind of “not unexpected”.

Si Fangyin took office with a mission, it would be strange if he didn’t make trouble for Kun Tianchen.

Anyway, in the eyes of these two reviewers, the Kuntian brothers have no future. After all, they will die. The suspense is just how miserable their death will be.

Kun Tianchen is not so clear-headed. He is a brave and aggressive person. He is not afraid when he should be afraid, especially in front of Zizhen, he is very face-conscious.

Therefore, listen carefully to Si Fangyin’s words. When the main hall was in dead silence, Kun Tianchen was not polite. He looked up and looked directly at Si Fangyin, and said, “I have many capable people under my command. You are the temple master. You don’t need to borrow the word. Just give the order directly!”

But after he finished speaking, he looked at Zizhen next to him and said lightly, “Of course, Miss Zizhen is not suitable. She is new here, unfamiliar with the place, and immature. It is easy for her to make mistakes and be caught by others and framed.”

He was also straightforward and said it clearly.

But Si Fangyin laughed on the spot when he heard it. After laughing for a long time, he said happily, “What a coincidence, the person I want to borrow is Miss Zizhen.”

“No need to talk. She is not a formal staff of Tianyu Temple. You can order me, but you have no right to order him.” Kun Tianchen was also tough enough. He didn’t give Si Fangyin face directly and said it to death.

“That’s the problem!”

Unexpectedly, Si Fangyin was not angry, but very serious. He looked past Kun Tianchen and looked at Zizhen, and said seriously: “I said Kun Tianchen, Miss Zizhen is the Purple Blood Ghost Emperor, with such a talent comparable to the upper Yu species. In the future, with the resources of my Tianyu Temple to cultivate and make up for the gap in the early stage, her future will definitely be infinite! With such a talented person, how can you let her be a so-called deputy who doesn’t even have an official rank? The title of deputy sounds good, but I’m afraid that in the eyes of the lowest-level temple soldiers, they will all regard her as just a maid. This, can… It’s not appropriate, absolutely not appropriate. This is not the way our Tianyu Temple treats talents!”

Such a sarcasm made Kun Tianchen very unhappy. He stood up suddenly, glared at the other party and said, “Si Fangyin, what do you mean? Sowing discord? Everyone knows that you hate ghosts and gods. You make your words sound high-sounding, but don’t you just want to target her? If you have the guts, come at me, don’t embarrass the girl!”

After saying this, Kun Tianchen felt that he was very awesome and great. He didn’t believe that such a brave man like him was not worthy of a sweet love?

Anyway, he was determined to do it!

But after hearing this, Si Fangyin was not angry. He said, “Kun Tianchen, don’t say that. I did make mistakes before, but I was punished. Now I have reformed. Not only that, the task given to me by the higher-ups also includes making amends to ghosts and gods. The reason why I mentioned Miss Zizhen was that I had no intention of framing her. On the contrary, I just wanted to give this talent an official rank that matches her strength and talent, a respected identity! You, Kun Tianchen, know better than anyone that in Hunyuan Ji, if a ghost or god really wants to be respected and recognized, the official position is the only focus!”

Kun Tianchen was not deterred by his words. He smiled and said, “It sounds good. What official position are you going to give her? Send her a ninth-rank clerk? A prison guard? Just let her be one level higher than the temple clerk who runs errands. It’s better for her to be my deputy!”

“Then listen carefully.” Si Fangyin said, taking out a golden and black scroll, and said: “This is the appointment document I gave to Miss Zizhen. The Shaoqing has already stamped it! You are Miss Zizhen’s guide, you can take a look.”

“Appointment document?”

Kuntian was stunned for a moment. If the Shaoqing of Tianyu Temple directly issued the appointment document, it must be at least the eighth rank. His temple secretary was only the sixth rank imperial court official. Can a ghost really be a decent imperial court official in Tianyu Temple?

He reached out to take the appointment document, looked up, and was immediately surprised: “Seventh rank, head of the prison? Responsible for supervising the ‘C-Part Ghost and God Temple Prison’?”

As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet whole audience suddenly burst into an uproar.

Today was originally a meeting of the seventh rank and above. The chief clerk and the head of the prison present were all middle and upper levels of Tianyu Temple. They usually had considerable authority outside.

They obviously didn’t expect that Zizhen, who had no contribution and no achievements, could jump over the ninth rank and the eighth rank and directly fly to the seventh rank to be the chief prison guard?

The chief prison guard of Tianyu Temple is the top official responsible for guarding the temple and prison. He has a large number of ninth rank prison guards and has real power. At the same time, because he faces prisoners directly, the rewards and benefits are very generous, and many children from noble families are scrambling to get in!

The seventh rank imperial court official is very high!

Kun Tianchen worked hard for more than 100,000 years and handled tens of millions of cases before he was promoted to the sixth rank temple chief.

Promotion is the most difficult.

If Zizhen was the child of a certain Shaoqing and came to Tianyu Temple directly to the seventh rank, it would be understandable, but she is a ghost with the worst qualifications…

What’s going on?

Kun Tianchen was stunned and couldn’t understand it at all, but the appointment document in his hand was real.

At this moment of exaggeration and surprise, Si Fangyin said solemnly: “We have special reasons for appointing Miss Zizhen. Among the temple prisons in our Bing Department, the confession conversion efficiency of the criminals in the Bing Department Ghost and God Temple Prison has always been the worst. Those ghost and god criminals refuse to communicate and hate the Hunyuan Clan, leading to a vicious cycle. This also leads to a revengeful mentality among the ghost and god groups and a long-term increase in crime rates. Lord Shaoqing and I have always believed that we need a capable and infectious ghost and god prison warden to sit in and influence the criminals, so that the ghost and god groups can be more assured of Tianyu Temple!”

After listening to this, Kun Tianchen took a deep breath. He knew that this sounded great, and the official position was real. It really made Zizhen soar to the sky… But there is definitely a problem here!

So he said directly: “Such an important position, with heavy responsibilities, Zizhen is just a newcomer. She knows that she can’t shoulder such a heavy responsibility, so please ask Lord Shaoqing to find someone else!”

“Who said that?”

As soon as Kun Tianchen finished speaking, a hand reached out and took away the appointment document from his hand.

It was Zizhen.

Everyone was stunned.

Then she looked at Si Fangyin and said, “Master Temple Secretary, for such an important position, Zizhen respectfully obeys your order.”
