On the tenth day of July in the fifteenth year of Yongzhi, Guangde hundred households yamen.

Today is extraordinary for the Hundred Households Yamen, since the last battle between the Yamen and the White Lotus Sect, many people have been injured.

Some older lieutenants chose to leave their posts early to let their sons carry this burden.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting took the four of his hair and was walking towards the hundred yamen.

Although he had long known that he would become a Jinyi guard, after he really stepped into the Yamen of the Hundred Households, the joy of Yu Youping and the four of them faded a lot.

There are seven or eight people who came to report with them today, and they are all waiting at the place where the second courtyard is located.

After Chen Xiaoting and a few people entered, they only caused a few people to look sideways, and did not cause any commotion.

After everyone arrived, Zhou Wenzhu of the hundred households appeared at the gate, and the stone steps there could allow the captains below to see him.

A small flag officer stood aside, took out a booklet and began to roll call, and a name was pronounced below a "listen to the order".

"Chen Xiaoting......"

"Obey!"

……

"Yu Youping......" "Wei Wuding......"

It took ten minutes for the big concept to be counted.

If it had been the norm in the past, it would have been over, but today is different.

I only heard Zhou Wenzhu speak: "Today, there are twelve new captains in my hundred households, and your father is a capable person in the yamen, I hope you can also inherit the will of your father and ancestors, and do ...... errand with your heart."

"The people standing around you are all your seniors, and if there is anything you don't understand on weekdays, you should ask more...... As a senior, you should also give a lot of support! ”

"Everyone is a brother in the yamen, only by helping each other can we ride the wind and waves and overcome all difficulties!"

The opportunity for Lord Baihu to give a lecture was rare, and everyone at the bottom listened patiently, and Yu Youping's new lieutenant was even more excited.

Chen Xiaoting didn't feel anything, this kind of situation where the leader spoke on the scene, I'm afraid that only newcomers like Yu Youping would be enthusiastic.

Zhou Wenzhu also broke for seven or eight minutes before ending his speech in the final encouragement.

When Zhou Wenzhu left, Yu Youping and a few people went to get their official uniforms and waist cards, and Chen Xiaoting once again acted as a guide for them.

After receiving things from Zheng Jian in the warehouse, Yu Youping and the four of them went to find their own small flag, and Chen Xiaoting became bored.

He and the little flag official Wang Youtian did not deal with each other, and the two of them had met a few times in the past few days, but they had never said a word.

"Alas, it's better for them to be newcomers, and they have a good relationship with their boss!" Lying on Zheng Jian's recliner, Chen Xiaoting sighed.

Zheng Jian sat on the side, glanced at Chen Xiaoting and said, "You envy them?" I think they're envious of you, right? ”

"Your Chen Xiaoting's name is known to everyone in the Yamen, I think those young people just now...... It's all about you as a goal! ”

Chen Xiaoting smiled, he was indeed moaning painlessly.

In the deterioration of the relationship between the Yamen and the boss of the hundred households, he is the only one who can still live a prosperous life.

"Uncle Zheng, come to my house for a drink tonight?" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.

Zheng Jian glanced at him, and then said, "You are going to marry my Xuan'er, Lao Tzu drinks at your house every day!" ”

Chen Xiaoting didn't dare to answer, although Zheng Xuan'er was a good girl in all aspects, he always felt a little worse.

"I'll have to ask my dad about this!" Chen Xiaoting said sloppily.

Zheng Jian sneered, and he Chen Dayong had a good friendship, Lao Chen would definitely be willing to kiss the two families.

Unwilling to dwell on this topic, Chen Xiaoting got up and was about to leave, but heard Zheng Jian laugh and said: "Captain Chen, who kills people like chickens, is going to escape?" ”

Unwilling to say more, Chen Xiaoting fled directly!

What do these bad old men think about all day...... Chen Xiaoting said with disgust.

It stands to reason that he should go to patrol the streets, but there was a quarrel between him and Wang Youtian, so he didn't send him an errand.

In other words, at the moment, Chen Xiaoting is neither sitting in the hall nor listening to errands...... The whole person is as transparent as ever.

Just when Chen Xiaoting was thinking about whether he would go to Zhang Zhenshan and ask Zhang Zongqi to change him with a small flag, Zeng Chun found him!

Walking outside the yamen of the hundred households, Chen Xiaoting asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zeng Chun followed behind Chen Xiaoting and replied, "My lord, your cousin is waiting for you outside, saying that someone in his family is making trouble...... I'd like you to come and have a look! ”

Someone in the second uncle's house made trouble...... Chen Xiaoting immediately remembered that today was the last time for those ruffians to collect their debts.

In the past few days, he has been busy dealing with the White Lotus Sect, but he has forgotten about it.

So he said to Zeng Chun: "You go and call the brothers immediately, and then bring all the guys with you, and find me at the gate of the yamen!" ”

Zeng Chun took the order and left, and Chen Xiaoting immediately rushed to the Yamen of the Hundred Households.

When he came to the yamen, he searched for a while before he saw the second uncle and son standing in the corner.

"Yucai, come here......" Chen Xiaoting shouted.

Chen Yucai, Chen Daneng's eldest son, is fifteen years old this year, only one year younger than Chen Xiaoting.

After seeing Chen Xiaoting, Chen Yucai ran over, and then said, "Big brother, something happened at home!" ”

Chen Xiaoting asked, "How many people are there from the other party, and have you brought any guys?" ”

Chen Yucai said: "There are five or six of those people, and there are three of them making trouble in my shop...... Four people with sticks! ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded, with a disturbance of this scale, it should be no problem for him to suppress it alone.

In this era, weapons are all controlled, and there is no ruffian who dares to use weapons to provoke, which is to find trouble for himself.

After a while, Zeng Chun, Zhang Ertie and others gathered in place, they all saw the White Lotus Thief who had killed people in blood some time ago, and they were standing together with full momentum at this time.

and made Chen Yucai feel a lot more at ease, and secretly said that his cousin should be able to settle this matter today.

"Let's go ......," Chen Xiaoting said with a wave of his hand.

…………

Baishui Street in Guangde West City is as lively as usual, while Chen Daneng's soup cake shop at the end of Baishui Street is much colder at this time.

The so-called soup cake shop, in fact, is what is now called a noodle restaurant, and it is a place that the public can afford to consume in this era.

A bowl of somen noodles costs five cents, and a portion of the rice is two cents more.

At this time, several swingers were sitting in Chen's shop, and two others were guarding the door with wooden sticks.

The leader sat behind a table, hula hula eating noodle soup, and there was a little brother pouring tea for him.

While eating noodles, the big man said, "Lao Chen, when will you pay this month?" ”

Chen Daneng stood at the table with an apron, and said cautiously: "Fifth master, you also know that I have a small business, and I can afford to pay one or two taels of silver a month, don't you want me to die!" ”

Chen Daneng's shop only earns 300 wen a day, and it is less than 2 taels of silver in a month.

If it is handed over to the local ruffian gang for one or two, then what money will he take to honor the officials who patrol the city, not to mention that the family still has to live.

Hearing Chen Daneng's complaint, the man known as the fifth master slapped the chopsticks on the table, and then said angrily: "If you don't pay it today, Lao Tzu will smash your shop!" ”

It must be unreasonable to reason, although Chen Daneng has not seen much of the world, he was not frightened by the shout of the fifth master.

I only heard Chen Daneng say: "Fifth master, you have to be moral, if other shops also pay money like me, I can figure it out!" ”

"But why does my family pay such a heavy amount of money? You're clearly bullying! Chen Daneng's face turned red, obviously in a state of impatience.

The "fifth master" couldn't help laughing, causing several younger brothers next to him to laugh.

"Old thing, our fifth master is bullying you, what can you do?" One of the thugs sneered with a wooden stick.

"Don't fight with them...... Wait for Yucai to come back! At this time, Chen Daneng's old wife, Wei Xi, whispered in the back.

Chen Daneng didn't lose the scene, but gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Wu, don't be too rampant...... You and my nephew are on an errand in the Jinyi Guard's Yamen, you can't afford to mess with it? ”

Zhang Wu was not frightened, and he still had some scruples about being the lieutenant of the Jinyi Guard's yamen, but if he was an errand officer, he would not give face.

The gang has a relationship with the yamen, and it will not be embarrassed by an errand officer.

What's more, the things explained by the second brother above will not go wrong.

"Lao Chen, don't say that your nephew is not here, even if you have to pay the money!" Zhang Wuyi waved his hand and knocked the noodle bowl down the tunnel.

Bang dang...... The porcelain bowl was shattered to the ground, causing a commotion among the people outside the door, who thought that the Chen family's shop could not be opened!

"What a majesty!" A cold voice came from outside the shop.
