The county lieutenant looked at Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi, and said, "Do things well, don't just think about taking shortcuts, how can there be so many shortcuts in this world!" ”

He called a middle-aged scribe and knew to Li Ri: "His name is Ji Datong, he is an old official in our county, he looks like a loach, his temper is more like, he doesn't leave his hands, he is responsible for the security of Huaidefang, you will definitely learn a lot of things when you travel with him, at least you can learn what it means to be a smooth official!" ”

Li Rizhi looked at this Ji Datong, just like Ji Datong looked honest, but his skin was a little dark, and his mouth was a little big, if he didn't have to think about loaches, then he really didn't think that his appearance was like a loach, but like a farmer who worked hard every day.

Ji Datong was thirty-five or sixteen years old, of medium stature, wearing a white-washed suit, wearing thick-soled boots on his feet, he didn't smile or speak, he was called by the county lieutenant, and when he saw that Li Rizhi was very valued, he immediately put on a smile and knew to Li Ri: "This is Li Gongzi, Brother Li, little brother Ji Datong, I've seen Brother Li!" ”

Li Rizhi was suddenly called Brother Li, and his face was very ugly, after all, Ji Datong looked thirty-five or sixteen years old, and he was not young!

The county lieutenant smiled and said: "You call someone's little boy your brother, why don't you just call Daddy, doesn't it show more respect!" "It seems that he often jokes with Ji Datong.

Ji Datong also smiled and said: "The villain really wants to call Brother Li his father, but he is afraid that Brother Li will be angry, doesn't this call people old!" ”

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "If you call me brother, you call me young?" But he didn't show it on his face, he just said: "The student has seen the Jichaguan, please give me more advice in the future!" ”

Ji Datong hurriedly returned the salute, and kept saluting Li Rizhi, saying: "Don't dare to advise, Brother Li is a celestial Qu star, and I am almost the same as you instruct the younger!" He bowed a little too much, bowed four or five times in one breath!

Li Rizhi couldn't, so he had to bend down slightly and return the salute, but Ji Datong saw that he returned the salute and immediately bowed four or five more times!

The county lieutenant waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's okay, such a ritual law can't be done until tomorrow morning, why should you do it, remember to solve a few more cases today!" ”

Ji Datong agreed repeatedly, took Li Rizhi and them out of the yamen, and went straight to Huaide Fang.

Chen Yingying has been following behind Li Rizhi, she has not squeaked, and when she got out of the yamen, she said: "I thought you could study in the yamen, sitting behind the bookcase, drinking tea, flipping through the books, but you don't come out on an errand, you have to go to the workshop, then you become a martial marquis!" ”

Ji Datong walked in front, heard Chen Yingying speak, then turned his face back, and said with a smile: "This son-in-law is the sister of the Chen family, the villain has also heard of Sister Chen, well, this is Brother Fu, this is Brother Cheng, you are all amazing characters, naturally you don't look down on the villain's business trip, but you are going to enter the court in the future, and there will not be many opportunities for such a business trip, so it is also good to see what cases ordinary people have, just watch the excitement!" ”

He calls his brother and sister when he sees someone, which makes people get goosebumps on his body, in the Tang Dynasty, the word brother can also be called father, that is, the father is called brother, the two brother words are connected together, and the elders can also be called like this, that's all, after all, uncle or something, it doesn't matter if you call it casually.

But there is another layer of meaning, that is, between lovers, they are often called like this, which is a nickname, and it is a very intimate name, so Ji Datong is full of brothers, can Li Rizhi not let Li Rizhi their scalp be numb, they look at Ji Datong in the wrong eyes!

Li Rizhi knew that the four of them were not familiar with Ji Datong, so they were inevitably a little restrained in their words, but Ji Datong was a self-acquaintance, laughing and laughing along the way, and kept saying jokes, and after a while, they arrived at Huaide Fang.

Ji Datong is a servant sent by the yamen, because he is literate, so he also has the identity of a scribe, after all, sometimes there is something in the workshop, he has to be responsible for recording, copying and writing something.

Huaide Fang is such a big square, of course, there can be only Ji Datong alone to manage, and there are several scribes with the same status as him, each responsible for a piece, in fact, there is no major matter, that is, to manage the fang, to manage public security or something, in case of major events, or to report to the yamen.

Far away, Li Rizhi saw a few vegetable vendors standing under the wall of the fang, all carrying burdens, probably taking out the vegetables grown by themselves to sell, the rent of the shops in the east market is too high, even the small shops in the fang are not cheap, so they stand under the wall outside the fang to sell vegetables, but it is also very convenient for the people.

Li Rizhi saw the hawker, but the hawker saw Ji Datong, and one of the hawkers shouted: "Ji Datong is here!" ”

When several hawkers heard this, they looked up together, and when they saw that it was Ji Da who had passed, they shouted, picked up the burden together, and the vegetables were not sold, so they hurriedly ran!

Ji Datong also shouted, and chased after him, Li Rizhi was surprised when he saw this, did these hawkers evade taxes, why did they arrest them? However, Ji Datong doesn't care about taxes, right?

The hawkers ran fast, Ji Datong didn't catch up, he snorted at the backs of the hawkers, and shouted: "Set up stalls anywhere, affect the appearance of the fang, and dirty the ground, even if you run fast, next time I catch you, I will confiscate your vegetables first, and then fine you money!" After speaking, he snorted several times.

Cheng Zizi whispered: "Chang'an is different, if it is in our Xingyang, the vendors are not casually setting up stalls, but they are not allowed here!" ”

Fu Guibao said: "Maybe they blocked the door of the workshop and prevented the people from entering and leaving!" ”

They walked to Ji Datong's side, and when they saw Ji Datong, they were still angry and cursed, and said: "These guys are running too fast, I didn't catch up, let them be arrogant, and when I catch them, I have to let them send a year's worth of food to my family!" ”

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi glanced at each other, and after a long time, it turned out that this was the reason!

Before entering the workshop, Ji Datong took out a pair of rag shoes from his arms, put them on his feet, replaced the boots he was wearing, and pinned the boots to his waist, and then entered the workshop!

Li Rizhi looked at the pair of rag shoes on Ji Datong's feet, and saw that they were all torn to expose his toes, and he really didn't understand, why did Ji Datong change into such a pair of shoes, which was too conspicuous, and it was not in harmony with the clothes of the errand officer on his body, others could see the pair of broken shoes on his feet at a glance when others looked at him.

Fu Guibao walked behind, he didn't understand a little, so he asked Cheng Zizi: "Why did he change into a pair of broken shoes, he likes broken shoes?" ”

"Maybe, I look at this errand officer, no, this brother Ji is a very human being, what he likes, we can't guess!" Becoming a free way.

"Yes, very human, not normal people!" Chen Yingying added later.

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizai nodded together, deeply agreed.

Ji Datong walked into the door, coughed, looked left and right, and then said: "It looks like business is good today, maybe because of the good weather!" "A wonderful word.

There are also some small shops in Huaide Fang, mainly facing the people in the fang, all of whom are doing small business, on both sides of the street in Jinfang, there are about dozens of them, selling everything.

Ji Datong walked to the door of the first store and said to the busy shopkeeper in the store: "Brother Zhang, it's a good day, your business in this store is good, look at this store, there are several people!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled at him, saw the pair of broken shoes on his feet, and said, "Ji Chaguan, the shoes are broken like this, and you still wear them!" ”

Ji Datong patted the boots on his waist and said, "I have good shoes, but I am reluctant to wear them!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "Can it be done, Ji Chaguan is a decent person, how can he wear broken shoes on the street, come, I have a few small money, give Ji Guan Cha to sell shoes!" ”

The shopkeeper took out a small string of copper coins from the money basket and stuffed it to Ji Datong, who repeatedly excused himself: "How can this work, how can I ask for your money!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Count me as a pair of shoes for you, we have been friends for so many years, what's the matter, you still don't accept a pair of shoes!" ”

That small string of copper coins will definitely not be able to buy good shoes, but if you buy the kind of cloth shoes worn by Ji Datong, it will be more than enough!

Ji Datong excused himself several times, and when he saw that the shopkeeper resolutely gave it, he put this small string of copper coins into his arms!

Li Rizhi watched Ji Datong put "a pair of shoe money" into his arms, and only felt funny in his heart, this brother Ji is really full of childishness, wearing a pair of broken shoes into the workshop, it turned out to be to get a pair of new shoes to wear, this is too bad official's momentum!

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi also pouted together, it's really a worthless thing, even if you ask for a bribe, you have to ask for more, just a small string of copper coins, you can buy a pair of cloth shoes, as for this!

However, he soon disagreed with it!

Seeing Ji Datong walked to the door of another store, Ji Datong smiled, and said the same thing to the shopkeeper who was also busy in the store, and said the same thing as just now, and there was a word difference between before and after, because the shopkeeper's surname was different, he said: "Brother Ma, the weather is good today, and the business in your store is also good, look at this store, there are several people!" ”

So, give you the money for your shoes!

I don't want it, I don't want it!

Don't just look down on me!

Well, then I'll have to take it!

This scene of performance was staged again in front of Li Rizhi's eyes!

The money for a pair of cloth shoes is really not much, but if there are dozens of stores, each store gives him a pair of cloth shoes, it is not a decimal!

Fu Guibao couldn't bear it anymore, he stepped forward a few steps, and said to Ji Dadao: "Ji Chaguan, how many pairs of shoes do you have to accept here, do you want to open a shoe store?" ”

Ji Datong thought about it very seriously, nodded and said: "Brother Fu is reasonable, it is cost-effective to open a shoe store, at least it is a normal business!" ”

Fu Guibao said again: "Could it be that you want to charge a pair of shoes in every store?" ”

Ji Datong still said very seriously: "I have thought about whether to charge two pairs of shoes per store, but I am afraid that when they give money, it will be a little grinding and not refreshing enough, so I simply only charge money for one pair of shoes, so they will be a lot happier, and no one will chirp with me!" ”

Fu Guibao saw that what he answered was not a question, and that it was extremely serious, so he could only be convinced!

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "No wonder we follow this Ji Datong out, it's really a long insight!" ”

It didn't take long, Ji Datong walked around, and each store gave him money for a pair of cloth shoes.

Ji Datong turned around, let Cheng Zizi carry the money for him, and said with a smile: "It's hard to become a brother, carry the money for me, I don't do it every day, come by ten years, collect it once a decade!" Okay, let's go and sit on the edge of the release pond for a while, there is a pavilion over there, if the people have a dispute, where will they go, let me help with the evaluation! ”

They went to the release pond together, it was a small pool, there were a lot of this kind of release pond in the city, there were many people who released them before, but later found that they released it here, and they fished it out there, regardless of whether it was a turtle or a fish, even if it was a snake, there were people waiting to catch it!

Later, no one released it, even if others said that the release was good, go and release it, no one came to release it, at least the release pond in Huaide Fang has not seen anyone release for several years!

In the small pavilion by the pool, there was a man with a woman, who seemed to be two people, who were quarreling, and when he saw Ji Datong coming, he shouted: "Ji Chaye, you came just in time, my wife is talking in a dream, but she is angry, you have to give me a comment!" ”

Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao were taken aback, talking in their dreams? Do you have to take care of this kind of thing?
