Go to ancient times to catch fast

The two people who were eating in the kitchen put down their bowls and chopsticks when they heard the shouts.Su Wen grabbed Chu Xiaoyun's sleeve worriedly and with some fear.

Chu Xiaoyun knew how Su Wen felt. The original owner was a gangster, and he must have offended many people.Once I was imprisoned, although I was implicated innocently, I was not sure if anyone thought I was unlucky and came to find trouble.

Chu Xiaoyun patted Su Wen's hand lightly: "Don't be afraid, I'll go out and have a look, you continue to eat."

Chu Xiaoyun got up and went out, while Su Wen stayed in the kitchen alone.Chu Xiaoyun asked him to continue eating, and he definitely couldn't eat at this time.Su Wen also left the table, went to the kitchen door and looked out secretly.

Chu Xiaoyun walked out of the room, only to see several people coming in.The one who walked in the front and opened the way was a young man in his 20s, looking unfamiliar.Chu Xiaoyun looked back, and the two behind him were acquaintances.

Chu Xiaoyun went forward suspiciously, looking at the county magistrate in casual clothes, he was very puzzled: "I didn't know that the county magistrate arrived, and the little people were far away to welcome me. Please forgive me. I don't know why the lord came to the humble house?"

The master next to the county magistrate said: "Master Chu is talking to us here? Why don't you invite us in?"

Chu Xiaoyun suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Master, please come inside. It's just that the humble house is simple, please don't laugh at me, sir."

Chu Xiaoyun stretched out his finger in the direction of the main room, but the county magistrate looked at a small head poking out of the kitchen to peek, met his gaze and shrank back.The county magistrate chuckled and walked towards the kitchen.

The master and the young man also followed to the kitchen.Chu Xiaoyun followed behind with a dazed expression.

After entering the kitchen, the county magistrate sat down on the bench where Chu Xiaoyun was sitting just now, and looked at the vegetables and salty porridge on the table: "This is the porridge for dinner? I don't even have a steamed bun, how can I fill it up?" abdomen."

Then he looked at Su Wen who was hiding behind Chu Xiaoyun secretly: "Don't you feel ashamed to let others follow you through such hardships!"

But I was thinking in my heart: This little Shuanger is really interesting, she dared to testify in court a few days ago, but now she hides behind her husband in her own home.

Chu Xiaoyun said embarrassingly: "I used to be a bit of a jerk, so I'm a bit embarrassed now. Fortunately, Su Wen doesn't dislike me. But I will definitely change my past in the future, live a good life, and don't cause trouble for the government."

"Well, cough cough." The county magistrate coughed dryly twice, "Have you thought about what you will do in the future?"

Standing by the side, Chu Xiaoyun felt as if he had returned to his student days and became a student standing beside the teacher waiting for the teacher to speak.

"Not...not yet. I didn't put my mind on this before, and I don't have a clue for a while. But I will go to the county town tomorrow to find a job, and I will definitely not go back to my old job. Don't worry, my lord." Chu Xiaoyun thought of the plan he had planned the day before he was imprisoned. Even the plan to earn a living is not going to work, and the original owner has a bad reputation, so I feel a little uneasy.But I also think that in the modern society with so much competition, my career can develop well. I don’t believe that I can’t find two bowls of food in ancient times.As long as I work hard and be honest, life will gradually get better.

Chu Xiaoyun thought that the county magistrate Si was afraid that he would develop old habits after he was released from prison, so he came to visit his home.Express your heart quickly.

At this moment, Su Wen brought a bowl of warm water and put it on the table in front of the county magistrate: "There is no cup at home, please don't dislike it, sir."

Dare to go to court to testify, but afraid of strangers, and careful about etiquette when getting along with others, the county magistrate looked at Su Wen and said to Chu Xiaoyun: "You found a good wife, treat her well in the future."

While the county magistrate was speaking, Su Wen brought two more bowls of water to the master and the young man.

After hearing what the county magistrate said, and seeing Su Wen's performance, Chu Xiaoyun nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Of course, of course. That's for sure."

The county magistrate smiled: "If you want people to live a good life, at the very least, you have to have secure money. Since you haven't found a way out yet, why don't you come to the Yamen as an errand?"

This is simply a pie falling from the sky, an iron rice bowl, Chu Xiaoyun thought he heard it wrong: "What?"

The county magistrate said: "How about coming to the county government office to be a fast catcher? In Zhang Cheng's case, I saw that you have a clear mind, and you have a good understanding of the investigation. I heard that you also have some kung fu. The job of fast arrest should be suitable for you."

Chu Xiaoyun could hear it clearly now, but he still asked uncertainly, "Go to the county government to be a fast catcher? Is what you said true, my lord?"

The county magistrate said: "Of course it is true. Although the job of being a police officer is not very good, and the income is not very high, it is absolutely no problem to support a family."

The master added from the side: "One tael of silver a month, the annual salary is 12 taels of silver. There will be some holiday benefits during the festivals."

Chu Xiaoyun really felt that he had been hit by a pie.We must know that in this era, a family can live on two or three taels of silver a year, and live a more nourishing life on four or five taels of silver.Twelve taels of silver a year will definitely give Su Wen a more comfortable material life.

Chu Xiaoyun hurriedly agreed: "Thanks to the adults who like it, Xiaomin is willing."

The county magistrate said: "The county government will hold a recruiting meeting for arresters at the end of the day, and you can go to it. The process still needs to go through."

Chu Xiaoyun hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your reminder, sir."

The county magistrate nodded and said with a smile: "Then I won't disturb your meal."

After all, get up.The young man followed out.

Chu Xiaoyun was about to send it off, but was stopped by the master.

Seeing this, Chu Xiaoyun knew something was wrong, otherwise the county magistrate would not have made such a trip on purpose.He said to Su Wen: "Wenwen, you go back to your room first."

Su Wen left the kitchen obediently.

"I don't know what advice Master has for you?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

The master said: "Do you know when your lord came to Hejing County to take office?"

Chu Xiaoyun searched the memory of the original owner in his mind, but as expected, it was blank again.Chu Xiaoyun could only say in shame: "Xiaomin is ashamed. I used to do nothing all day long and never paid attention to these things. Please ask the master for advice."

The master said: "My lord is a Jinshi of the new department this year, and he has only been here for three months. Since the previous county magistrate has done his best, the court has been short of officials, and Hejing County has always been the county magistrate. For a long time, Zhang Cheng and other merchants and country gentry in the county are very supportive of the county magistrate, which is a blessing to the people of Hejing County. However, the county magistrate is old, and it is not his responsibility that my family can't bear him to continue to work hard."

In his previous life, he was also a gangster, so Chu Xiaoyun understood what he said.The county magistrate has served as the county magistrate of Hejing County for two years, and he is not too young, so he should think that the post of county magistrate will be his own sooner or later. Little do he know that after the imperial examination, there are enough officials in the court, and he is airborne. chief officer.The contradiction between the county magistrate and the county magistrate also arose naturally.

Although the county magistrate is the superior, the county magistrate has been operating in Hejing County for a long time, and he has already established a huge and intricate network of contacts with people from the upper class in the county, and has a solid foundation in Hejing County.

The fat in his mouth has been lost, and the forces on the county magistrate's side must be extremely unwilling. During normal official duties, there must be a lot of obedience and infidelity.Judging from this case, Zhang Cheng must have been on the side of the county magistrate when he was alive, including Yang Butou.

Zhang Cheng’s case of identifying himself as the murderer is a trick full of loopholes. Why did the Zhang family sue like this? I’m afraid it’s because Zhang Cheng is dead, so it’s better to use him to make a fuss and cause trouble for the new county magistrate. If he doesn't say he can't get along in Hejing County, at least he won't get a good reputation and affect his political performance.

You know, the original owner was a bastard before, and there must be some friends on the road. According to modern terms, they are factors of social instability. If these people make trouble, it will be a hidden danger that will affect the peace of one party.No matter which era it is, stability is definitely the primary responsibility of local officials. Without stability, everything is useless.Chu Xiaoyun understood why the county magistrate didn't believe that he was the murderer from the beginning, and kept pointing out about himself in the case.His exoneration this time was not only because of his criminal investigation ability in his previous life, but also because of the government's power struggle.

Since most of the original forces in the county government are the people of the county magistrate, and the work is entrusted to them, who knows if there will be any tricks in it. After the county magistrate came to power, he must want to cultivate his cronies.It's not surprising that he finds himself who understands criminal investigation, but has a feud with the county magistrate.

Although this is suspected of standing in line, regardless of the county magistrate's point of selfishness, being able to avoid unjust cases is the good side of being an official.Official matters are not black and white.The county magistrate was able to catch the real culprit and recruit himself when the county magistrate controlled Hejing County. This county magistrate is a person with talent in his mind and ambition in his heart.Chu Xiaoyun said wittily: "Xiaomin understands that in the future, he must obey the orders of the county magistrate."

The master nodded in relief, and took out five taels of silver from his pocket and put it on the dining table: "This is your reward for helping the murder case of a merchant in our county be solved quickly, please accept it."

Chu Xiaoyun looked at the five taels of silver on the dinner table, feeling like he was dreaming, and this happiness came too soon.

Seeing Chu Xiaoyun's dumbfounded look, the master smiled and said, "Work hard in the future, how many people will envy the iron rice bowl in the yamen."

Chu Xiaoyun is short of money now, and he is not guilty of holding the money, nor is he pretending to push it away: "Xiaomin thanked the adults and the master."

The master smiled and stroked the three sheep's beard, and before leaving the door, he said: "Don't talk to others about the fact that my lord came here today. After entering the yamen, besides my lord, you can absolutely trust me and that young man just now. Then The young man's name is Fang Lingfeng, he is a book boy brought from home by adults, and he is now working in the county government office."

Chu Xiaoyun remembered all of them in his heart.

After the magistrate and his party left, Su Wen returned to the kitchen and asked nervously, "Husband, what's the matter?"

Chu Xiaoyun said happily: "Wenwen, I have a job now. You will be able to live a good life in the future."

Su Wen was very surprised.

Chu Xiaoyun told him the purpose of the county magistrate's visit: "The county government will recruit quickly the day after tomorrow, and I will definitely be there."

As he spoke, he pushed four taels of the five taels of silver that the master gave him just now to Su Wen: "This is the bonus for solving the previous case. You keep the money, and we will take care of the money in the future. I will keep one tael , Tomorrow, go to pay back the old doctor's consultation fee, and then add some necessary items to the house."
