Compared with the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the Ten Guards of the East Palace, and the Sixteen Guards of the South Ya, the bad people have no sense of superiority at all, and they are often despised by them, saying that the bad people are a group of monkeys jumping up and down.

Even if it is the most despised official in Chang'an City, this is like a skinny camel bigger than a horse, or the tail of a phoenix emperor.

Although there are always people who impassionedly swear that they would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

However, the more high-sounding the person is, the more despicable the personality tends to be. - Actually, they just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. In the end, it is an official errand, and there are more people who want to sign up, but unfortunately they do not have this qualification.

Therefore, Wei Chang and his family felt that it was an honor to be a bad person, and the old father was particularly concerned about Wei Chang's restoration of his military status.

Walking on the road, Wei Chang never looked at Jin Wuwei passing by, except for the good background, those rice buckets were actually nothing remarkable, but they were all arrogant.

When the two of them came back, it was almost noon, and they entered the gate with a note approved by the instructor.

The arrow was handed over to the drug test instructor, who said that he would have to wait for a quarter of an hour, Wei Chang left, and Qi Qi stayed there to wait for the test results, she was very curious about this matter.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them met again in the cafeteria, and Wei Chang was eating potato chips and drinking wine. Potato chips are the cheapest dish, and wine is his favorite drink.

"The results of the examination are in, the arrow is indeed poisonous, and I have bad news for you." Qi Qi said: "That arrow is circulated on the black market and does not belong to any army. ”

"You mean to say that my assassin didn't have any clues?" Wei Chang sneered and said, "Do you think that I was murdered, not because of this incident?" ”

"You said it yourself, you have sinned against many people before."

"Yes, the last time I offended was the emperor's brother-in-law."

"Now Chang'an hires murderers, and the cheapest killer only costs 50,000 yuan. For him, it's a very small number. ”

"For ordinary people, it's two years of living expenses."

"Food is not worth much now."

"You're right, potatoes are cheap, so I eat them at every meal."

The bad people were originally the envoys in charge of detectives and arrests in the Tang Dynasty, but they were later changed by the new emperor, and now they are different from ordinary officials, and they have a certain spy nature.

Although it is deployed by Chang'an County and Wannian County, it is not appointed and dismissed by the county order, and it is a parallel unit to the county government. Personnel powers such as promotion, dismissal, hiring, and dismissal are under the direct management of the Ministry of War, and are isolated in the Taifu Temple, the Weiwei Temple, and the Ordnance Superintendent. It was sometimes called directly by the emperor.

In fact, this kind of agency similar to the function of spies existed as early as the Han Dynasty, but at that time it was not called bad handsome, but "big who is he". Listening to this official name-who is big--there is a posture of loving whoever is whom, which is quite exciting. Of course, this is Wei Chang's understanding, so what does "big who" mean, and who knows the truth?

"What relationship did you get into? Who recommended you? Wei Chang asked curiously.

"Why do you ask this?" Qi Qi is still the same, with a cold face.

"I don't understand why the emperor allowed you to participate in the examination and be hired." Wei Chang stopped eating.

"There are living women who are better suited than men."

"For example?" Wei Chang doesn't think so, so far, there have been four batches of female bad people in service, but the problem is that there is no particularly outstanding one. Those female bad guys have become the target of ridicule in the bad guy team. Of course, female colleagues are still very welcome, otherwise it will be too dull.

"I don't want to say it."

Bad people were set up early in the Tang Dynasty, and most of the recruits were active duty soldiers who had performed well but suddenly made mistakes.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the household registration system was very strict, and the good and low hierarchical system was implemented, in which scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and soldiers were regarded as good citizens; "Advocating excellence", slaves, beggars, etc. are untouchables. Military membership is not something that anyone can enter if they want to. Although it was a bit dangerous to be a soldier, at the time, it was a relatively respectable household registration. Especially for the untouchables.

"Tang Law Famous Examples" said: "Slaves and maids are sluts, and the law is better than livestock." The status of the untouchables can be seen from this.

In the army, if you are expelled for making mistakes, you must first be stripped of your military status and reduced to pariahs. This in itself is an insult, even worse than killing these soldiers who value honor more than life.

Many people were loyal and had a lot of achievements in war, but because of a wrong thing, they were demoted to pariahs, and many officers and even the emperor couldn't bear it, so they gathered their gang together and formed a bad people organization. However, if you want to join the bad guys, you must first receive a hundred canes.

Ordinary people, if they are weak women, with all their strength twenty canes, will surely die; A weak scholar cannot withstand thirty canes; A sturdy peasant man can stand up to fifty canes in the sky; Of the elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield, few have survived the eighty spine staff...

But these people who would rather be punished are often the elite of the elite, who would rather die than surrender their household registration, and stiffen their spine with a hundred rods. When the torture ended, only half of the survivors were beaten, and their backs were beaten to pieces, so some people called them - bad rotten spines.

Although it may sound like a bad word, this name is actually an honorific title. People admired them in their hearts.

They are amazingly capable, strong in martial arts, strong-willed, and quick-witted. With the cooperation of a few people, some shocking cases can be handled. smashed many major events that failed to happen, strangled the enemy's big conspiracy in the cradle, and defended Chang'an at all times.

But later, this cruel law was changed by the new emperor and changed to a twenty-spine cane, which is really a great imperial grace.

And the emperor also revised the rules for the admission of bad people, he established the bad people college, and he served as the first president, the school rules he set up generally seemed to be decent, but there was one that was unpredictable, he required, bad people must drink well.

"I've got half a bottle left, for you." Wei Chang said, pushing the wine bottle over.

"I don't want yours, take it." Qi Qi pushed back again.

"Don't pull it down!" The splitter snatched the bottle away.

I thought that in the afternoon, as usual, I would participate in all kinds of training and learn all kinds of knowledge, especially studying various historical files and learning the methods used by some famous detectives in the past. In the past six months, Wei Chang has spent most of his energy on this, and he also has a lot of experience, it turns out that the wisdom of people in ancient times cannot be underestimated, and many cases are handled very exquisitely, which makes people addicted after reading it.

It is said that the current emperor Li Heng likes these files the most, and most of the case files in the Academy of Bad People are selected by the emperor.

Nowadays, the emperor has little to distract from major matters, and spends his days studying the case files reported in various newspapers.

Hearing that the emperor approved the imperial approval, officials from all over the country did not dare to slack off when handling cases.

But at the same time, something unfortunate happened, that is, these officials have learned to cover up more. Just like this overpass crash case, the three chiefs actively tend not to make a big deal about it, as long as the formalities are complete, the case is over.

But if there is a suspicious point in it, then trouble will come, and it will become a murder case, and the case must be solved. In the county, there is an extra backlog of homicides, and Jin Wuwei, who is also in charge of the night curfew, was also held accountable for failing to stop someone from boarding the overpass in time when someone was under night curfew.

Now that this matter is big and small, the upper authorities will not track it down, so this matter is a good thing for everyone.

At lunchtime, the two of them parted unhappily, and at this time, Wei Chang ran to the classroom, but found that there was no one here, could it be that he came early today? He didn't want to think about it, so he did it in the back position and slept first.

Soon after, Qi Qi came, cocked the table, and woke him up.

"What's the good thing to find me?" He looked up at Qi Qi with a slightly drunk look. This poor big girl, too, was unlucky enough to be placed in a group with him.

Wei Chang is not bad, he has never bullied Qi Qi, but his words are too poisonous, but Qi Qi can't stand it.

"The instructor said that in the second half of the year, let everyone practice on the spot. We are responsible for patrolling Fengyi Fang. ”

"Fengyi Fang?" Wei Chang said: "Why do you let us patrol there?" ”

"What's wrong with Fengyi Fang?"

"There were dead people, coffins, and people in filial clothes. And there are often funerals, listening to mourning music all day long, listening to a group of people crying there, do you think you will feel good? Wei Chang looked like he was scolding the street, and shouted a few times. Besides, I was just assassinated there, so let me go there to patrol the defenses? Hey...... not to mention, it's actually a good idea. I can also take this opportunity to find out which of the eight lambs wanted to kill me. ”

"Don't be too happy, this instructor is mainly testing our eyesight and communication skills. Let's remember all the shops in the market within half a month, including the owners of the shops and the people who often come and go in the shops. ”

"Then go directly to the household department to transfer out the household registration of Fengyi Fang, and then recite it, isn't it your forte?"

"Wei Chang! I ask you to be serious! It's official business, not the two of us. Anyway, I'll tell you now, I don't care if you don't go. With that, Qi Qi strode out of the house.

"Stop." Wei Chang stood up lazily: "You little girl, your temper is really stinky." Stinker than me. Just like you, can you eat well in officialdom? Don't talk about officialdom, even if the two of us arrive in Fang Market for a while, you still can't have fun. ”

Looking at Wei Chang's sarcastic expression, Qi Qi glared and said, "I'll lead the team in a while, you follow me, I want to see how difficult it is for the 12,000 permanent residents of Fengyi Fang to deal with." ”

"Of course, ordinary residents are not difficult to deal with, and if you are wearing an official uniform, you may be obedient." Wei Chang walked over, blushed his stomach and said, "But what are we doing?" Is it dealing with ordinary people? ”

"We deal with the common people, and with whom?"

"You, say you're young, you don't like to hear it. Since you are not convinced, today you will follow what you said, you lead the team, and I will be your deputy! ”

"Humph!" Qi Qi glared at Wei Chang and walked forward.

She wears soft armor inside, and wears a round-necked official uniform for bad people outside, and all the official uniforms of bad people are prepared for fighting, so they are all tight and neat styles, short sleeves, wrist guards, waist corset, tight legs and short crotch trousers, and boots with iron tips in front of the bottom of the cow tendon.

Not only that, but the equipment of bad people is light and practical, and at critical moments, you can also go to the government office to receive heavy equipment. That body of fish scale armor is divided into three types: light, medium and heavy, and it is worn according to personal strength, and the heaviest is as much as eighty catties.

Wei Chang rubbed his leggings steel plate, this thing is not very reasonably designed, because it always feels shaky when walking.

"Hey, why don't you wear shin guards."

Qi Qi ignored him and continued to walk in stride.

"Little girl, I can tell you, people's legs are actually very fragile, and if you don't have a protective gear, you can easily be broken during a fight. I see you're pretty good-looking, but if you're lame, hehe, then it's pitiful. ”

"My kung fu is not weak, don't underestimate people."

"Am I underestimating you? Scold! Wei Chang sneered: "Do you think your leg must have been broken by the other party?" More often than not, it's when you're attacking and you suddenly kick a hard object. Hey, let's not talk about iron and stone tools, it's my bones, you kick with all your strength to ensure that you break bones. ”

"Wei Chang, don't worry, when we graduate, the two of us will have a competition! I'll challenge you then! ”

"Then you better save it, I have someone I want to challenge when the time comes."

"Who are you going to challenge?" Qi Qi wondered, he was the most powerful among this batch of students, who else would he challenge?

This time it was Wei Chang's turn not to speak, with a cigarette roll in his mouth, and he took a puff from time to time, because this kind of cigarette lacked re-burning cigarette paper, so if he didn't smoke it for a long time, it would be extinguished by itself.

"Can you stop smoking?" Qi Qi covered her nose and said.

"How many cigarettes did you smoke from me for free, and I haven't asked you for money yet, and you still don't like it?"

"Smoking affects your sense of smell."

"I'll smoke for another ten years, and I'll be better than you."

In fact, it is impossible to do only one kind of business in any market. For example, there are 12,000 people living in this Fengyi Fang, and after entering the market, in addition to some shroud shops, there are many shops, such as silk cloth shops, spice shops, ironware shops, porcelain shops to saddle shops, cloth grain shops, barber shops, jewelry shops, and musical instrument shops in the east.

Every time she arrived, Qi Qi took the trouble to walk in, introducing herself to each store as if she was making a report, and then began to ask about the situation in the store. It's like a person who checks his household registration.

In this regard, Wei Chang scoffed.

"Hey, why don't you come in with me?" Qi Qi said angrily.

"What are you doing in there with me? In this room, at a glance, you know that there are only two people, mother and daughter, and you have to go in and ask one. Guess if I had gone in, would the shopkeeper have been scared? Are we a nuisance to the people? ”

"Hey, please be respectful when you speak!"

"Who do I disrespect anymore?"

"Now that the emperor is so open-minded, don't you understand what policy?"

"What does it have to do with me?" After speaking, Wei Chang turned his head and left.

Qi Qi trotted two steps to keep up with him, and asked in a stiff tone: "Hey, just now you said that this family is a mother and daughter, how do you know?" ”

"Smell it!"

"Smell?" Qi Qi looked dazed. Just now she went into the house to visit, and there were really only two mothers and daughters in the house, the daughter was 14 years old, and her mother didn't let her come out to see outsiders easily. It's a very traditional family.

"Hey, admire, right? Didn't you just say that I can't smell well? In fact, Wei Chang judged by the furnishings in the house.

He looked out of the doorway and window, and there was a shoe rack in the hallway, with only two sizes of shoes on it, and both were women's shoes.

In addition, the smell wafting out of this room is completely the smell of women, and there is no smell of sweat on men's bodies at all.

Also, the roof of this shed is an ordinary small beam paved straw mat, covered with tiles, there are some traces of rain leakage under the straw mat, if there is a man in this house, it must be a little leaky and repaired immediately, but if there is no man, the woman will wait for the leak to become serious, or there are a few more leaks, and then ask someone to repair it.

He didn't say these words to Qi Qi, he was worried that Qi Qi would scold him for being too mysterious.

In fact, some things are like this, in the eyes of some people, things that can be judged in a few seconds, but in the eyes of others, they are in Xuan.

"You're wrong, his family is actually three people." Qi Qi said.

"Really? Show me your notes. Wei Chang raised his eyebrows.

"I recorded it myself, so why should I show it to you?" Qi Qi sped away in great strides. After walking for a while, he turned his head and said, "If it were you, where were you going?" Who are you looking for? ”

"Why should I tell you?" Wei Chang said with a provocative look.

"......" Qi Qi had nothing to say.

The two walked a few more times in the winding alleys, and then turned around the threshold, Qi Qi went door to door, introduced himself at the same time, and asked about the situation of each family, very seriously, and the records were very detailed.

Wei Chang had been standing outside the door, his eyes kept shooting, and suddenly he stared at a person three feet away, squinted his eyes, looked at it for a while, and ran towards the man suddenly, holding down the man's shoulder.

The man heard the sound of running behind him, and he was already careful, and he was held down by the shoulder, and he jerked himself short, and then ran away.

"Heh, I didn't look away."

Wei Chang didn't mean to take him and take him to court. At this time, he couldn't tell what he really thought. What he needed to do now was to teach this kid a lesson.

In fact, it is not difficult to find local snakeheads. As the so-called official and bandit family, as soon as they go to the yamen to inquire, they can find out who the snakeheads in each fang city are, but Wei Chang feels that there is no need to do that.

As soon as he glanced at it, Wei Chang felt that this kid was a thief, and his gaze was uncertain, just now he bumped into a woman's shoulder, and he knew that this kid was a thief. His movements were very fast and very stealthy, Wei Chang looked at his back, and could not see him stealing, but the package that the woman was carrying suddenly collapsed into a corner.

The thief didn't run slowly, but how could he be Wei Chang's opponent, the two ran out less than thirty feet, Wei Chang had already caught up, after catching up, Wei Chang did not catch him, but smiled at him, and said: "Keep running, see which of us can run fast and far!" ”

"Hey, this good man." Suddenly, the kid stopped running, panting, "Which way are you on?" Glancing at Wei Chang's outfit again, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Oh, it turned out to be an official." In the future, you will be in charge of this film? What about Huang Ye? ”

Who is Huang Ye, Wei Chang doesn't know, but he thinks it's also a bad person, since this kid is familiar with the routine, this matter is easier to do.

"What's your name?"

"Little fish three."

"Go, give back what you just stolen."

"Cheng, I'll give you the money bag, and you have to do this good man."

"Haha, sensible!" patted Yu San on the shoulder and said, "In the future, I will be more quick with my hands and feet, and when I officially take over here, I will let you be the head of this place!" ”

"Okay, sir, but ...... Are you Wei Ye, or Qi Ye? Your badge ......"

"This character reads [chǎng]!"

"Okay Master Wei, you go slowly."

At the moment when Wei Chang turned his head, he suddenly felt a hand reach for his waist, he grabbed it back sharply, and grabbed the hand at once, turned his head and saw that Yu San was looking at him in surprise.

"Master Wei? It seems that you are a veteran expert. You can ......"
