Chapter 12 Minor Miscellaneous Servants of the Adjudication Division
Lawson didn't know why the beard suddenly took such an inexplicable look at him, well, it should be said that he valued it.
It is true that he is a man who combines beauty and immeasurable talent in the prosperous world, and he has helped his grandmother cross the road since he was a child, and when he grows up, he will also reprimand two sentences when he encounters a primary school student who robs money, not only won the fifth place in the class essay contest in the third grade, but also has been praised by many girls as a good person, it is indeed perfect and cannot be more perfect, but the problem is ......
How do you see a beard?
Is it true that the old saying that gold shines wherever it goes?
But anyway, it's a good thing.
The beard not only cleared Rosen of murder suspicion, but also helped him find a job......
This reversal came a little fast, so that Lawson couldn't react for a while, and his mind was still confused until he walked out of the door of the adjudication department.
At this time, it was evening, and the state capital was lit up, but the street was unexpectedly deserted and depressed, and there was no half of a figure in sight.
"Because of the relationship between our adjudication department, Huangli Street has always been like this, you have only been in the state capital for a few days, and many things have not been familiar yet, and you will get used to it in the future. ”
The person who spoke was a tall and thin man named Zheng An, who had probably been in the dark adjudication department for too long, and his skin was a little pale, and he was squinting a pair of small eyes at this time, patting Lawson on the shoulder to explain to him.
"Ah...... Oh. Rosen replied casually and quickly followed Zheng An's footsteps.
There are also some small shops on both sides of Huangli Street, but most of them sell all kinds of funeral supplies, and from time to time a few thieves and rat-eyed guys show their heads and greet Zheng An attentively.
"Zheng Ye!"
"Zheng Ye is here?"
"Zheng Ye Wanfu!"
……
Lawson was a little confused about such a scene, but he didn't ask much, just followed Zheng An to a messy house with a blank face.
"According to the regulations, the miscellaneous servants of our ruling division do not live in the house, and they are uniformly arranged here, these days because the flag master is out on patrol, most of the miscellaneous servants have been taken away, and you will live alone in this room for the time being, and if you encounter any difficulties after that, you can go to Li San'er in the south room. ”
Pushing open the door, Lawson looked at the environment in the house, which was unexpectedly tidy, but the table top on the floor had fallen some dust, presumably no one had taken care of it for several days.
There were no cubicles in the room, but four plank beds were arranged in a staggered manner, three of which were covered with straw mats and neatly folded bedding, and the fourth bed was Rosen's own.
It's like a college dorm......
And it's a quadruple room.
In a way, this treatment is enough to satisfy Rosen.
Before this, he didn't know what his identity in this world was, where he came from, and whether there were any other relatives in the family besides a younger sister, but judging from the clothes on his body and the starved skin-covered figure, it must have been mixed up badly.
Previously, the beard also inadvertently revealed a piece of information, in the period before he came to the state capital to save his sister, Rosen was sleeping on the streets......
In comparison, now that he has at least a place to live, and a job similar to that of a civil servant, it can only be said that happiness comes too quickly.
While Rosen was thinking wildly, Zheng An suddenly took out a wooden waist card from his arms and threw it into Rosen's hand.
"This is the brand of our adjudication department, although your current status is just an ordinary handyman, but it is not something that people in other parts of the state capital can look down on, I will bring you clothes and monthly salary later. ”
Lawson was looking down to study the waist card, and when he heard this, he suddenly subconsciously asked, "Monthly salary?"
Zheng An smiled lightly: "Our place is different from other places, the monthly salary is paid in advance, and the ordinary miscellaneous servants are no exception, there are one or two silver every month, and there are also meal tickets issued during festivals, you kid is lucky, he was taken by Lord Zhan at a glance, and it is not so easy for other princes and nobles to stuff people in!"
Zheng An's appearance looks a little cold, but he is a good man in his bones, and it is no wonder that the beard has put him in charge of placing Lawson.
Hearing this, Rosen realized that until this time, he didn't know the name of the beard, and immediately said cautiously: "That, Brother Zheng, I don't know our adults...... ...... is the name?"
Zheng An was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a strange face, "You haven't heard of it before?"
"I've only been in the state capital for a short time, so I'm ......"
This explanation is somewhat far-fetched.
But Zheng An didn't think much about it, so he said to Rosen: "Then you have to remember it later, the one who gave you this opportunity was Si Cheng of our Adjudication Division, Zhan Linwen, Zhan Daren, and the people of the rivers and lakes gave him a nickname, slashing blood and mad knife!"
Belch......
Lawson didn't know how to complain about such a second-class nickname for a while, so he could only nod respectfully.
"Thank you Brother Zheng for your advice. ”
"Hmm. Zheng Anyun flicked his sleeves lightly, and finally instructed Rosen: "You just came today, you don't have to work for the time being, and if you have any questions in the future, you can also go to Li San'er to communicate, but don't forget, tomorrow, go to the house on time to report." ”
Rosen said yes again and again, and then sent Zheng An away with a grateful face, and then fell headlong on the hard bed board.
He didn't rush out to learn about this brand-new world, nor did he go to the legendary Li San'er to ask for information, but decided to integrate the information he got now.
Think about what you should do next.
"For the time being, it seems that this world should still be in the stage of agrarian society, but I don't know which dynasty it is, the adjudication department is somewhat similar to the official office, and the specific power is unknown, Zhan Linwen's position is Si Cheng, whether it is the number one I don't know, at least I can speak, and there seems to be a flag ......."
After sorting out the ecological environment of the adjudication department, Rosen thought about the death of the knife again.
"I remember the ...... Not long after Qiqi ran out, the two men of the knife caught up, and then ...... Yes, and then there was a scream, so the knife dropped me and got into the woods, so it seems ......."
Rosen gnawed his fingers and came to the most logical conclusion.
"Could it be that someone else witnessed the scene and killed the knife and his men for the sake of the hero to save the beauty?"
Rosen knew very well in his heart that the death of the knife really had nothing to do with him.
As for Qiqi, that little girl doesn't have such a big ability.
Then the only possibility is that outsiders intervene.
In this way, Qiqi's disappearance is also very easy to explain, it must be that the mysterious man took the little girl away after killing the knife.
But there's a problem with this inference.
After Qiqi was saved, why didn't he let that mysterious person come to him?
"There are two possibilities, either because Qiqi lost consciousness at that time, or because the appearance of the Adjudication Division scared away the mysterious person. ”
But why did Zhan Linwen appear there at that time?
Happened to patrol outside the state capital?
It stands to reason that Zhan Linwen is a dignified referee, even if he can't be compared to the director of the Public Security Bureau, at least he is the captain of the criminal investigation team, have you ever seen the captain of the criminal investigation team patrolling everywhere without anything?
There's something strange about it......
With the information that Rosen knew now, it was not enough to piece together the whole picture, so after thinking about it for a moment, he stopped dwelling on the matter.
"So now for me, the first task is to gain a foothold in this adjudication division first, and in addition, the death of the knife and the whereabouts of Qiqi must also be investigated, hmm...... Of course, the most important thing is to figure out what kind of structure this world is!"
At the same time that Lawson was lying in bed carefully planning the rest of his life, Zheng An had already returned to the adjudication division.
In that dark stone house, I saw Zhan Linwen.
"Your Excellency. ”
Zhan Linwen still held the teapot that was as warm as jade in his hand, and there was a stack of files on the table.
"What did he say?"
Zheng An shook his head: "I didn't say much, I just asked the adult's name." ”
"Oh?" Zhan Linwen raised an eyebrow and fell silent.
Zheng An is an old man in the adjudication department, and this "old" does not refer to his age, but to his qualifications.
From a certain point of view, he has been in the adjudication department longer than Zhan Linwen, so in the face of this Si Cheng, he does not have the trembling of the long-faced errand before, but seems a lot more casual.
"Are you really sure he's not the real murderer of the knife?"
Zhan Linwen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You haven't read the long scroll sent by Yin Zhangling, right?"
Zheng An smiled and said: "That thing is too unlucky, you don't know, I'm timid, and the last thing I dare to touch is these." ”
Zhan Linwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, of course he knew the taboo of Zheng An, an old boy.
Speaking of which, Zheng An can be regarded as the leading miracle of the adjudication department.
The number of prisoners who die here a year is not eighty but also a hundred, so that the people in the state capital feel unlucky, so no one dares to approach Huangli Street all year round, for fear of being invaded by evil spirits.
Therefore, there is hardly anyone in the adjudication department who has not seen blood, except for ordinary handymen.
But almost no one, does not mean that there is no one.
The only exception is Zheng An.
This guy has been in the adjudication department for decades, and the most famous thing is not how high his kung fu is and how accurate he is in judging cases, but that he has never seen blood in his hands.
torture of prisoners, he does not participate.
Murder alarm, he does not participate.
Even when he went out to arrest the felon, he was also in charge of logistics and supplies.
In other words, this Zheng An is actually the number one bastard in the adjudication division......
But on the contrary, Zheng An has been in the adjudication department for decades, and his status has been promoted from a small official to a manager step by step, I have to say that this is also a superpower.
So at this time, Zhan Linwen had to explain to him: "The autopsy results of Yin Zhangling's side show that Dao Zi and the others were killed by the flying sword. ”
Hearing this, Zheng An's eyes widened suddenly: "Fly...... Flying sword? That, that ......"
Zhan Linwen nodded: "Yin Zhangling judged from the sword brand that it should be done by a disciple of Tianchi, so the case has been transferred to Dali Temple." ”
Zheng An let out a sigh, and seemed to have some lingering palpitations: "No wonder the adults let Rosen go so quickly." ”
Zhan Linwen lifted the teapot and took a sip, then asked, "What do you think of people?"
Hearing this, Zheng An smiled: "Hey, the adult is willing to make an exception to let such a poor boy enter the adjudication department this time, it must be because he has the advantage of having no relatives and no reason, maybe people are still a little smart, so the adult is trying to ...... him"
Zhan Linwen waved his hand, interrupting Zheng An's straightforward analysis, and asked again, "So, what do you think?"
Zheng An hesitated for a long time, and finally shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's too short, let's take a look." ”
"Hmmm......"
Zheng An put down the teapot and let out a long, unfathomable nasal sound.
