In Chang County.

For ordinary officials, the monthly money is two dollars of silver.

The team leader is slightly better treated, and he can get three coins of silver.

The treatment and benefits of the three major head catchers are the best, and the monthly money can be as fast as five dollars of silver.

If you add the subsidy of labor and food, the monthly money will almost catch up with six dollars of silver.

The food and silver is similar to the food and housing travel subsidy, which is paid for by the local government and is not supported by the imperial court.

Like ordinary servants, there are also white servants with lower monthly salaries, and the monthly money is only one penny.

Day service is a temporary worker who is not part of the establishment.

There are temporary workers who carry the pot, and they have the merit to rob them, and they are talking about the white servants who let people prostitute for nothing.

Therefore, the place where Zheng Yuanhu lives is not secluded, on the contrary, it is still a large courtyard with high walls and tiled roofs, and the area is quite prosperous.

Zheng Yuanhu is one of the three major catchers in Chang County, and the dock gangs, gangsters, and the mixed underworld and white ways in Chang County all rely on the three heads of the martial arts to deter. Therefore, in order to retain talents, when the three catchers bought real estate in Chang County, there was a special subsidy in the yali, which was equivalent to half selling and half giving away.

From ancient times to the present, talents are scarce, and talents are popular wherever they go.

Feng Zhutou came over early in the morning and knocked on the door, and after calling Jin An and the old Taoist priest with a solemn face, he went straight to Zheng Zhutou's house.

On the way, Feng Zhutou also briefly introduced the situation of Zheng Zhutou by the way.

It's just that along the way, no matter how Jin An and the old Taoist priest asked, asked Feng Zhutou if he had found anything, why did Feng Zhutou have a solemn face?

But Feng Zhutou's face was always solemn, and he only said that he would not be able to speak clearly for a while now, and he would know when he went to Zheng Zhutou's house.

And the group of three passed through several markets, and finally arrived at Zheng Yuanhu's house.

Feng Zhutou knocked on the door with his finger.

Knock knock knock ~ knock.

Three hurried and one slowly knocked on the door.

I heard a knock on the door, and immediately behind the door there were footsteps and the sound of the door opening.

"Feng catches the head. ”

It was actually a famous official who opened the door, Jin An and the old Taoist priest glanced at each other with a surprised expression.

"Let's talk about it first. ”

Feng Zhutou walked in front, and when everyone entered, the door behind him closed again.

Walking through the courtyard, I saw an old man in the lobby, who had been controlled by two officials with knives, and Jin An's eyes were slightly surprised.

"This is the porter invited by Zheng Zhutou, Zheng Zhutou is usually busy with official business, and the house is often empty, so he invited a porter to take care of his house. ”

"Regarding the identity of this concierge, Daochang Chen and Prince Jin An don't have to worry. He is a native of Chang County, has been working as a handyman, has never been out of the boundaries of Chang County, and only went to Zheng Zhutou's house as a porter three years ago. ”

"He's clean. ”

"Moreover, I have already had him examined, and his armpits and chest are normal, and there is no sign of evil possession. ”

Jin An looked at everything in front of him in surprise.

He wasn't surprised that Feng Zhutou found out Zheng Zhutou's family background so quickly.

Instead, he was surprised that Feng Zhutou's efficiency was so clean and neat, and he had just made up his mind to investigate Zheng Zhutou last night, and he directly led people to control the subordinates of Zheng Zhutou's family early the next morning......

also occupied Zheng Zhutou's house......

Thinking of Feng Zhutou's solemn expression on his worried face along the way, Jin An couldn't help but wonder, what major discovery did Feng Zhutou make in Zheng Zhutou's house that made him so cautious? Even Zheng Zhutou's subordinates were controlled?

Jin An's doubts soon had an answer.

Feng Zhutou took Jin An and the old Taoist priest all the way to the main house where Zheng Yuanhu lived.

As a result, just before arriving at Zheng Yuanhu's main house, Jin An subconsciously squatted and sniffed in the air.

There was an indescribable smell in the air.

Jin An thought for a moment, and immediately knew what kind of smell this was, this was a very strong smell of women's rouge powder.

When everyone came to the door of Zheng Yuanhu's room, the smell of this woman's rouge became even stronger, and it was indeed overflowing from Zheng Yuanhu's room.

Jin An'an was shocked.

Because according to what Feng Zhutou said, Zheng Yuanhu's family only has an old porter, where is the rouge that only the female relatives can use?

Rouge, like perfume, is so thick that it only stinks.

Well?

Wrong!

"Little brother, don't smell it, this is not the extremely strong smell of rouge, but the corpse gas!"

"Someone is borrowing rouge to cover up the corpse on his body!"

The old Taoist priest with a solemn and serious face opened his mouth.

Feng Zhutou, who was next to him, politely asked the old Taoist priest, and repeatedly confirmed that this was the smell of corpses?

Old Taoist: "I have traveled south and north, and I have encountered grave relocation, plague, floods, and corpses for ten miles, and I have seen all kinds of corpses. ”

Feng Zhutou was thoughtful, but he didn't speak, but made a look, and immediately a servant stepped forward and pushed open Zheng Yuanhu's door.

Moment!

A suffocating stench of rouge gushed out of my nose.

After waiting for the air to circulate and dissipate the smell for a while, under the leadership of Feng Zhutou, Jin An and the old Taoist priest also followed into the room.

The furnishings in the room are not complicated.

Beds, barriers, teapots, tables, stools......

"Huh?"

It was a table with a bronze mirror on it.

In front of the bronze mirror, there were boxes of all kinds of rouge and incense powder.

These rouge brands are messy, including drunken flower prints, moon peony, Yanzhi, red ink chrysanthemum... There are also several brands of incense powder, don't ask why Jin An can recognize the rouge and incense powder used by these women.

Because he just accompanied Zhang Lingyun to buy a box of Red Moon Rouge some time ago.

At that time, the shopkeeper forcibly sold him a meal, and finally bought a box of Red Moon Rouge, the most famous lady in the northern capital and the most famous among the ladies. Of course, the price is also the most expensive.

Sometimes men have the best face in front of the opposite sex.

Business owners like this kind of man and woman together.

"These rouge and incense powder are empty, so many empty boxes, I'm afraid that ordinary women smear rouge on their faces every day, and they may not be able to use them up in a year, right?"

The old Taoist priest was amazed.

"I think that these rouge and incense powder may not be for women. Jin An half-squatted, as if he was imitating something in front of the bronze mirror, and looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

Then he carefully observed the empty boxes of rouge and incense powder one by one, and continued: "Because women are particularly sensitive to rouge and incense powder, the smell of rouge is different, some are light and elegant, some are clear and fragrant, some are thick but not greasy, etc., subdivided, which can make people picky." ”

It is precisely because of this that women are particularly loyal to a certain brand of rouge or incense powder, and once chosen, it is difficult to change their minds. ”

"It's definitely not like this, no matter what brand of rouge and incense powder is bought and used indiscriminately, it seems that the other party is a complete layman and doesn't understand the delicacy of women's minds. Usually only men are not interested in women's rouge and incense powder, and little research is ......"

“！”

When Jin An said this, his body slammed.

A chilling chill arose from behind, jumping straight to the back of the head, and a chill surged from the bottom of my heart.

"Feng Zhutou, do you suspect that Zheng Zhutou has already died, and something is borrowing the corpse to return to the yang, and he has been pretending to be Zheng Zhutou's identity to infiltrate the yamen?"
