Although the patrol camp is a battalion, it has been expanded into a very large yamen in the past dynasties.

Entering the gate, there was a rather large school yard, and on one side of the shelf were some weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and some bows were hung. On the other side of the school field is the target and stable.

There were some weeds on the ground, and apparently there weren't many people practicing on the school grounds.

I don't know if it was Wang Xiao's illusion or what, as soon as he entered the patrol camp, he felt that his vision became dark red.

There seemed to be old blood stains on the sand, dark, old, and a little depressing.

Walk through the school grounds and into a lobby.

There are a lot of people in the lobby, and it is a little noisy. There was a row of long tables in the middle, behind the long table sat an old official holding a brush and was remembering something, and in front of the table were public men wearing patrol uniforms lined up, with all kinds of thieves tied up in their hands, as if waiting for registration.

"Qinghe patrols Wang Mingming, captures a chicken thief, and records the last and other merits ......"

After such shouts, all kinds of cries for mercy rang out.

"The little one is wronged, that chicken flew into the little one's arms by himself......"

It's not like a thief, it's a bit like selling vegetables in the market.

Wang Xiao looked around with some curiosity, followed Geng Zhengbai's uncle and nephew through the lobby, turning around all the way, from time to time someone hugged his fist and called "Geng General", and walked for a while before arriving at the cell area of the patrol camp.

Geng Zhengbai asked the cell boss to open an interrogation room, and asked Geng Dang to lead Wang Xiao in to sit and wait, and naturally someone went to escort the prisoner over.

Geng Zhengbai is a small boss, and when he returned to the patrol camp, he found a lot of things. So he told Geng Dang to take care of the third son of the Wang family, and he went to do the other things first.

This room had a rather gloomy atmosphere, and Ying'er was a little scared, holding Wang Xiao's hand tightly.

Wang Xiao gently patted the back of her hand and comforted: "Ying'er is not afraid. ”

His voice was calm, and Ying'er felt a little relieved, but she didn't find that her young master was not as stupid as before.

After a while, two jailers led a tall young man into the interrogation room.

The young man was tall and thin, with a lot of bruises on his face, but he looked quite delicate. He was indeed wearing a black suit, but it was not the night clothes he imagined, but it was as if he had picked up a few black rags and cut them slightly and put them on his body. At this time, he was wearing heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and he walked with a clanging and clumsy.

Geng Dang was a little excited when he saw this young man come in, stood up and asked Wang Xiao: "Third son, show me quickly, is this person a killer Muzi?" ”

He was young and wanted to capture the serial killer of the famous Jingshi, and this was the first prisoner he arrested after becoming an official, so he couldn't help but have some expectations.

After Wang Xiao looked at it with a pretentious look, he shook his head and said, "No." ”

"How could it not." Geng Dang was stunned.

Looking at the rich boy in front of him, who looked extremely good-looking, Geng Dang didn't know how far he was 'demented', so he scratched his head and asked again unwillingly: "Did he kill Luo Yuan yesterday?" ”

"He's not, the man from yesterday, it's different." Wang Xiao was quite determined.

"Why not." Geng Dang was quite disappointed, sighed, and said to himself: "Then this is just an ordinary murderer?" This kid has a bit of skill, and it took me a lot of effort to catch it. ”

Wang Xiao heard that this tall and thin young man was good, so he looked at him a few more times, and seemed to be quite interested in him.

But I heard Geng Dang say to the tall and thin young man: "Who is your surname?" Why did you kill the shopkeeper Du? Explain it early and let me report it. ”

The tall and thin young man just kept his mouth shut and did not speak.

"Hey, got a dumb guy back." Geng Dangdao, his voice a little annoyed.

A jailer leaned over and leaned over to Geng Dang, saying, "This kid doesn't say a word in prison." Judging from the small, he may not be the killer Muzi. Besides, this kid's murder is something that many people have seen, Xiao Gengye, you can't report it as much as you want. ”

His last sentence was said close to Geng Dang's ear, and his voice was quite soft.

Although Wang Xiao didn't hear what he said specifically, he could still guess that he had heard of killing good and risking merit, and this kind of thing would naturally add fuel and vinegar.

Geng Dang shook his head directly and said, "Yes, yes, no, no, I want to really take credit." ”

The expression on the jailer's face was a little scornful.

Wang Xiao secretly said in his heart that Geng should be sincere.

"It's just that this kid hasn't opened his mouth, but it's troublesome." Geng Dang said angrily again.

The jailer flattered him again: "If Xiao Geng Ye wants him to speak, he will torture him in a while?" ”

Geng Dang hesitated for a moment, and reminded the tall and thin young man: "You can think about it, if you don't open your mouth again, I will let people torture you." ”

The tall and thin young man closed his lips, but he didn't speak, but there seemed to be some hesitation in his eyes.

Wang Xiao had a good impression of him, so he looked into his eyes and nodded, motioning for him to speak.

"I killed the Du family brothers, how many years will I be sentenced?"

Just as he was about to be taken away, the tall and thin young man still spoke.

"Hey, how many years?" Geng Dang grinned and said, "You killed three people, of course you killed people to pay for your life." ”

The tall and thin young man was stunned, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

He glanced at Wang Xiao again and asked, "Are you identifying me as a killer named 'Muzi'?" ”

"And then, are you?" Geng Dang didn't have a good airway.

"I can be!" The tall and thin young man spoke in a very anxious tone, and said: "You can confess any crime you want me to do, as long as the official can grant me a request......

"Hey, I'm here to do business with you?" Geng Dang was a little unhappy, and said to himself: "I thought it was a big fish, but it turned out to be a spineless one." ”

"Official, official, listen to me. My sister and brother-in-law have killed the surnamed Du, and there is only one four-year-old niece in the family. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the two jailers, and said, "I know the rules of your patrol camp, and if you get a thief, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver." As long as I have five taels of silver, the official can raise my niece, and I can confess any crime. ”

Wang Xiao listened to it on the sidelines, and thought to himself: "This kid is a little stupid, this kind of thing is said in public......

However, when he turned to look at the two jailers, he saw that their faces were not surprised, but rather had some expectant smiles on their faces.

Wang Xiaofang suddenly realized that this 'rule' was obviously told to the prisoners by these jailers, asking these prisoners who were to be beheaded to pick up some serious crimes and admit them, deceive the court of rewards, and then everyone divided the silver.

This is an industrial chain.

In front of himself, he said this kind of thing without scruples, it seems that this industrial chain is still quite mature.

Sure enough, the two jailers surrounded Geng Dang and persuaded him.

They also don't mention Geng Dang's silver, this kind of thing, when the time comes, the reward will come down, but anyone who is not stupid will not forget an insider like them.

Therefore, the two jailers kept saying just how pitiful the four-year-old girl should be.

"Little Geng Ye, this matter is not bad for everyone, don't say that you can get silver. The point is to save a poor child......"

Geng Dang's two thick eyebrows were twisted together, looking quite tangled.

This young man, who had just become an official, was also determined not to be corrupted by those dirty things in the officialdom of the Chu Dynasty. But in this first case, the world stretched out a powerful hand to him.

Taking a small step forward and risking merit to receive money to save people, it doesn't look bad at all. But what about later? In every case in the future, there will be people who can make themselves involved with money.

The tall and thin young man looked at Geng Dang, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Your sister and brother-in-law were killed by Shopkeeper Du?" Finally, Geng Dang asked.

The tall and thin young man said hatefully: "Yes, my brother-in-law used to work under Du Liangjun, but later this beast spied on my sister, so he teamed up with his brother to kill my brother-in-law, and kidnapped my sister...... My sister ......"

As he spoke, a look in his eyes.

Geng Guang was a little silent, and muttered: "If you kill three people, you must pay for your life." ”

"I'm willing to pay for my life, but my little niece is innocent."

Geng Dang sighed heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want you to admit other sins, your niece and nephew will raise it for you." Big deal, I'll buy less alcohol in the future. ”

In a word, it is simple to say, in this era, it is by no means easy to raise a child.

For Geng Dang, he has also experienced a lot of psychological battles - now that he has only taken the first prisoner, he has to support a person in his family, and in the long run, what will he have enough to eat.

Wang Xiao shook his head secretly, and secretly said that Geng Geng would not be able to mix in the patrol camp in the future when this guy was a guy.

The two jailers look at you expectantly, waiting for you to take them to make a fortune together. When you get good, just put money in it yourself, and cut off people's financial routes, who will serve you in the future?

Wang Xiao shook his head secretly in his heart, but he looked at Geng Dang's gaze with a slight appreciation.

Unexpectedly, the tall and thin young man stared at Geng Dang, and after thinking for a while, he actually said lightly: "You don't need me to confess, I don't believe you." ”

"Hey, you're still working with me." Geng Dang was a little annoyed, "How are you doing?" ”

The tall and thin young man looked at Wang Xiao and said, "I believe him, he seems to be rich, I heard you call him the son of the Wang family." ”

Geng Dang was angry and laughed, and scolded angrily: "Poor and crooked things, I don't see that you are still a human spirit, you want to be beautiful." Nowadays, which big family recruits Yahuan is not picky? Where can't I recruit a good girl? How old is your niece, and she can't work, can people support you? ”

Wang Xiao was a little stunned, and after listening to Geng Dang's words, he realized that in these years, it is still a good thing to be able to be a maid for others.

It can be seen that the life of the poor people in the Chu Dynasty is hard, after all, if they can survive, who wants to be a subordinate?

For a while, the eyes of Geng Dang and the tall and thin young man all looked at Wang Xiao.

Geng Dang secretly thought, he is just a dementia, how can he make a decision?

The tall and thin young man was a little expectant - he saw that the clothes on Wang Xiao and Ying'er were all of the best materials, and the complexion on their faces was also excellent, without the peeling and red spots caused by years of wind and sun in poor people. If his little niece can enter such a big family, she will no longer have to worry about starving and freezing and dying on the streets, and she will even be as decent as this big girl when she grows up......

Ying'er listened on the sidelines, and felt that this family was pitiful. She wanted to help, and knew that she couldn't be the master alone, so she gently held Wang Xiao's hand, and her eyes were quite earnest.

Wang Xiao was watched by several people, and he was a little unhappy - they all looked at what I did, and they all forgot that I was a dementia?

He had an idea in his mind, and he didn't want people to see that he wasn't demented.

After thinking for a while, he walked up to the tall and thin young man, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Geng Dang doesn't owe you a favor, you don't believe him." Then I don't have a reason to raise your niece for nothing...... In this case, you will be my bodyguard, and you will do things for me in the future. ”

The tall and thin young man was stunned.

But I heard Wang laugh and said, "Don't say more." If you agree, you nod. Tell Geng Dang where to pick up your niece. ”

The tall and thin young man looked at the innocent expression on his face and was a little stunned.

But he could see the sincerity in the eyes of this strange child.

So the tall young man nodded and said to Geng Dang: "My niece is in the seventh house on the west side of the second lane of Dongduoqiao, and I ask you to take care of ......."

Watching the two jailers take people away, Ying'er couldn't help but ask Wang Xiao, "Young Master, what did you and him say?" ”

Wang smiled: "I said, I can help, but I have to ask the eldest brother first." ”

"Then young master, why are you whispering to him? Don't you want Ying'er to listen to it? ”

Wang smiled: "That person just now also whispered to the fuck off, I will learn from him." ”

"Young master, the name of the official is 'Geng Dang', not 'get out'......"
