Pavilion, is the grass-roots unit of the Qin State, mainly set up next to the road, in charge of the security of a radius of ten miles, the pavilion has a "pavilion chief", or called "pavilion husband", responsible for inspecting the township, inspecting non-violations, arresting thieves, etc., just like the director of the police station in later generations.

Under the pavilion chief, there are also some subordinate members, called thieves and pavilion pawns, who can carry military standard weapons bows, crossbows, halberds, swords, etc.

In ancient times, when he met his peers, Heifu was not happy at all, because he didn't feel the slightest kindness from these "police officers", and they surrounded Heifu and Ji Ying, and brought their weapons a few feet in front of him.

After having a helper, the head of the Huyang Pavilion was even more imposing, and he said in the tone of interrogating the suspect: "Who are you?" Can there be an experience and transmission? ”

Ordinary people are one level lower than those who are officials, there is no way, Heifu and Ji Ying had to hand over their "ID cards" and "letters of introduction" for him to check.

The chief of the Huyang Pavilion just looked at it casually, and then sneered: "It turns out that they are just two young soldiers who went to serve in the county seat, and they dare to argue with me!" ”

He looked down on the humble status of the two, raised his head and said, "This thief, is it really captured by you?" ”

Ji Ying replied: "So that the pavilion chief knows that it is the two of us who worked together to capture it, and it is about to be sent to the county seat to be handed over to the government." ”

The head of the Huyang Pavilion rolled his eyes, asked someone to take his two-foot board and rope, and said in an official manner: "As the head of the pavilion, it is my duty to hunt down thieves. ”

He pointed to the three bound thieves next to him and said, "Since this case happened in this pavilion, it should be interrogated and escorted by me, aren't you two going to serve in the county seat?" Go quickly, this thief, just leave it to me......"

Heifu and Ji Ying looked at each other, stunned by the pavilion chief's request, Ji Ying hurriedly leaned into Heifu's ear and said, "This Huyang pavilion chief doesn't want to rob you and me of the credit, don't agree!" If he escorted the thief to the county seat on his own, the more than 20,000 yuan would have nothing to do with us! ”

Heifu nodded, convinced.

Qin State's heavy reward system makes the competition for the head and merit very fierce, when he was at home, he didn't hear the eldest brother talk about it from the bottom of his heart, on the battlefield, sometimes in order to compete for a head, the robes can draw their swords against each other! Not to mention the usual. This pavilion chief must be fighting the idea of the three thieves, if he follows him, the huge reward will fly!

So Heifu hugged his fists and said: "It's not far from the county seat, we can escort it by ourselves, and we don't have to bother with the pavilion chief." ”

Ji Ying also shouted: "That's right, Pavilion Chief, please go back!" Let the merchant Jia go to the county seat with us to testify. ”

"How can you wait for the final say on this matter?"

The Huyang Pavilion Chief's face was pale, and he was about to get angry, but his deputy, the short, armed thief with a bow and arrow, rolled his eyes and whispered in his ear. Only then did the pavilion chief suppress his anger, and after walking around the three thieves, he said disdainfully: "The thieves are cunning and skilled in martial arts, just rely on the two of you, and you can subdue them?" I don't believe it! ”

At the same time, the thief glanced at the merchant again, the merchant was from Huyang Pavilion, and he was familiar with the pavilion chief and the thief, and he suddenly understood.

He pulled Heifu and Ji Ying aside and said to them: "Two strong men, don't be too greedy, the chief of the Huyang Pavilion heard that there was a thief, so he came all the way with the thief in the pavilion and the pavilion guard, there is no merit, there is also hard work, how can they let them run in vain?" ”

Heifu said coldly: "So what?"

The merchant smiled: "Anyway, there are three thieves, so it's better to share them with everyone in the pavilion!" Let's just say that they were captured together, how so? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ying scolded in a low voice: "Okay, you ungrateful profiteer, you saved you with good intentions, but you want to come to trap us, why should the thieves who were captured by their skills be given to others?" Don't even think about it! ”

was sprayed with saliva by Ji Ying, and the good old man of Shangjia couldn't do it, so he had to retreat in a gloomy manner.

The negotiation failed, and the chief of the Huyang Pavilion also showed a vicious face, and with a wave of his hand, his thieves and pavilion guards forced up with weapons in their hands, startling Ji Ying: "What do you want?" ”

The head of the Huyang Pavilion said coldly: "Hand over the thief to me!" Thou shalt leave on your own, or you will ......," he said, raising the slabs and ropes in his hands, which were to be snatched by force.

Ji Ying was a little scared, he looked back at Heifu, and wanted him to have an idea.

Heifu didn't move, he kept thinking about what to do.

Before leaving home, the honest eldest brother repeatedly instructed him that when he went out, he should endure everything, and he should not fight with the mouth, especially not to offend the officials who have a lord.

Although this Huyang Pavilion Chief is just a small official, after all, he is an official, according to Qin law, civilians and officials do it, regardless of whether they are reasonable or not, they must be punished, once they serve their sentences, this life will be over.

But the arrogant appearance of the chief of the Huyang Pavilion made Heifu angry again. Whether it was to give away the thief or share the credit with the pavilion chief and others, he was unwilling.

What to do? Hefu was caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, he saw a carriage slowly approaching on the road, the car was dyed with black and red paint, and the two horses, one black and one white, were not the same as the "doctor" who had been in the same guest house with them last night?

Heifu's eyes lit up.

"If you really encounter a grievance, the best way is to report to the official!" This is what the eldest brother has repeatedly told him, and now, there is only this way left for Heifu.

He immediately took a look, slammed through the encirclement of the thieves and the pavilion guards, ran out, ran to the middle of the road, spread his arms, and stopped the carriage!

The pavilion chief, Shang Jia, Ji Ying and others were stunned by this change, and they didn't react for a while.

The coachman didn't expect anyone to block the road, so he quickly pulled the reins, and the carriage barely stopped a few feet in front of the black man, and the coachman scolded: "Where did you come from, you dare to be a blocker, do you know whose car it is?" ”

"Of course you know!"

Heifu didn't pay attention to this, and saluted in the middle of the dusty road, shouting loudly: "The villain has grievances, and he hopes that the doctor will call the shots!" ”

After a while, the bamboo curtain of the carriage slowly opened, revealing a hand holding a bamboo scroll, and the face of a middle-aged man, who was dressed in a deep coat, with two sagittal thick beards on his lips, and brocade shoes on his feet.

The scribe glanced at Heifu and asked slowly, "What grievances do you have?" Let's talk about it. ”

Heifu said: "The villain went to the county seat to serve in the sergeant, and he stayed in the guest house with the doctor last night. This morning, I was walking with my comrades, and I encountered thieves robbing and killing businessmen on the road, so I stepped forward to stop them, captured three thieves, and was about to send them to the county seat to deliver them to the government, who expected ......"

At this time, the pavilion chief and others also came to the center of the road, and Heifu pointed at him and said, "Who would have thought that the local Huyang pavilion chief wanted to seize the thief and take the credit for himself!" ”

After saying this, Heifu's heart was pounding, he only hoped that he had not made a mistake, and the clerk doctor in front of him was a good official who could tell right from wrong!

"The Superior Inspector Clears!"

The chief of the Huyang Pavilion was very flustered, he recognized the doctor in front of him, and hurriedly bowed down and paused: "The subordinate just asked according to the usual practice, and there is no intention of defrauding the reward!" This soldier, he is falsely accused! ”

The two sides argued, but the doctor in the carriage was not in a hurry, he pinched the bamboo scroll in one hand, touched the beard on his lips with the other, and his eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and then looked at the others, as well as the three thieves who were tied up with five flowers, and soon had an idea.

"Which is true or false, you will escort the criminal, go to the county with this official, and you will know."

At the end, he revealed his identity: "This case is within my authority, I am the prison of Anlu County, happy!" ”
