Chapter 388: Rectification and Arrest (Part II)

The official officials of the Ming Dynasty had little to do with the police investigation of later generations, and they could not be blindly compared because of the overlap in their functions. These people have no training and no discipline, and in Fan Jin's opinion, they are not worthy of that uniform at all.

From the very beginning, their positioning is to serve, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, all young adults in a county have to serve for a few days, although the last idea has not really been implemented, but the low professional standards of this group can also be seen, and they can do it if they are people.

Even if you include this type of skilled work, it's the same thing. The master took the apprentices, and the autopsy looked at their respective skills, and the level of work in each county was uneven. The clever may be able to memorize the record of clearing grievances, and if you encounter the tide of craftsmanship, there will be a few more unjust cases.

Shangyuan County's Shang Huaizhong is an old man in his fifties, and they are considered to be the same generation as Yu Deshui, but he has a bad temperament, and he is famous in the yamen and is not welcome. He doesn't make any friends when he is alone, and several county magistrates don't like him, but he just deals with dead people all day long, and no one is willing to do it.

Such a temperamental person, but also doing autopsy, his popularity is getting worse and worse, and there are few people in the entire yamen who are willing to talk to him. Fan Jin engaged in quick welfare, and the people below actually excluded him and refused to give him food, so he knew how bad the relationship in the yamen was.

The oil and water in the yamen are relatively small, and bribery and correction of the autopsy report rarely happened in the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to you taking the initiative to send the handle to the yamen, and few people are willing to do this. Shang Huaizhong is a temperamental person, and it is not his turn to make a fortune, and there are more than a dozen children and grandchildren in the family, so it is conceivable that his livelihood is difficult.

In several low-rise dilapidated houses, the whole family of sixteen men and women was crowded, and even in the daytime, the room could not get sunlight, and they were reluctant to light wax, so they could only touch the dark. Fan Jin's original life was also poor, but compared to this family, he had to be regarded as in heaven.

Shang Huaizhong's Hun family died of illness two years ago, and several women in the family were untidy, and they all nested on the kang and did not dare to move, but he himself did not entertain Fan Jin, only smoked a cigarette pouch, opened his mouth to reveal his black teeth, and said hello.

"Several sons in my family have learned from me, and they usually help me in the yamen, but they are all touching the hands of dead bodies, so it is not appropriate to serve the grandfather. Besides, if you don't have good water and tea at home, you can't entertain guests, so you can just have some. ”

"The old man is polite. Touching the hands of dead bodies...... So what? The hand holding the pen, the hand holding the knife, the hand touching the dead body are all hands, it's not a big deal. ”

Fan Jin walked up to Shang Huaizhong as he spoke and took the initiative to shake his hand, his sons were a little stunned when they saw the county order, and they had always been afraid of their father. Just standing stupidly in the courtyard, Fan Jin walked over and shook hands with them one by one, saying hard work, which made these descendants at a loss, and they were all stunned.

"Little brute! Have your tongues been cut? Can't even say thank you! ”

Shang Huaizhong jumped up, smashed the cigarette pouch in his hand on each son's head, and then fell to the ground, kowtowed to Fan Jin and said, "Thank you, master!" Thank you, sir! Then the sons of the Shang family fell to their knees and began to kowtow at their father's pace.

By the time he sat down again, Shang Huaizhong's attitude had changed, urging his son to go to the east to borrow rice and the west to borrow oil, and Zhang Luo wanted to entertain Fan Jin to have a meal at his house.

"Xia Jian is fifty-three years old this year, and there are more than a dozen grandfathers who have served. Some people can't even remember the name of the next service, and when they meet the kind one, they only have a good face for the next service, but they still avoid the next service like a plague. Scholars, you can't get the smell of corpses. During the smallpox incident, my two grandchildren and a daughter-in-law died, but the yamen only urged me to burn quickly, for fear of infection. In private, they all said that I saw the autopsy and brought the pox plague home. Tai Ye is our Buddha of all families, and he has a great grace to the living grandchildren of my family, and he has a dignified future. It was the lower realm of the heavenly Qu Xing, and it was actually ...... Actually...... I'm a bastard! I'm not a thing! ”

As he spoke, the old man's slap was mercilessly slapped in the face. Fan Jin stopped him: "You don't have to be like this, it's not easy for you all these years, I'm new here, and a lot of things are not clear, but fortunately, I have a few local friends." I've heard them say it, but Shuntianfu knows the name of Fudi Chenghuang Shang Huaizhong. It's just that every time I encounter a difficult case, I think of looking for you to come forward, but I don't have much gratitude afterwards. ”

"Thanks? How can there be gratitude? Shang Huaizhong shook his head, "If those doubtful cases become unsolved cases, I don't know how many people will have to die of laughter." Just because of the appearance of the next soldier and the cause of death was clarified, those people had an extra thunder. Although they are rich and powerful, they don't have to compensate, but the cost of smoothing out the tail of their hands always increases. They hate in their hearts that it's too late to fight, so how can they be grateful? After the establishment of this cowpox bureau, if it weren't for the fact that it was not easy for Feng Si's father to sympathize with the next service, even if he planted cowpox, he would not be able to take the turn of the next service. ...... There are many gods in our Jiangning Temple, who is willing to pay homage to a city god. ”

"Then you're willing to help someone do an autopsy?"

"No way, when I was an apprentice with Master, Master taught me. If you do this, you don't rub sand in your eyes, you can know the cause of death and don't say it, but you have to know it yourself. If even your heart is blinded by lard, then get out of here as soon as possible, lest the unjust ghost haunt you, which will be the retribution for destroying the door and breaking the family. ”

He looked at Fan Jin, "Shangyuan hasn't heard of a murder case recently." If you don't like it, your old man's name is here, and Feng Si's father, you have to sell a friendship in black and white, even if you want to kill someone, you will take it to Jiangning County to kill. It is said that there should be no place for the service, so can there be outsiders who commit crimes? Master, you just have to give you an order, just shake hands with you, and be willing to have a meal at the next service's house, even if it is a corpse that is dismantled, the next soldier is sure to spell it back! ”

Fan Jin nodded, "What I want is your craft!" But I'm not looking for you to have a dead body to examine, but to use your skills. I know that there are rules and regulations in the country, and there are many secret skills in your industry, but I hope that more Fudi Chenghuang will come out in the future, so that there will be fewer imps in the city. Therefore I want to print your skills in a book, so that I don't cut off the teaching. As for the sons of your family, I will give them two regular service statuses, and although the grandson cannot be promoted, he can also be a regular soldier in the future. This house is too dilapidated, I will send someone to help you find a house, and the money yamen will come out, even if it is the reward you deserve for your efforts for the yamen over the years. ”

Shang Huaizhong was stunned when he heard this, and after a long while, he said, "Master, you ...... What do you say? Give my family two ...... Regular? Is it a bad listener? And the house? ”

"That's right, it's two full-time servants. As for the house, it won't be much better, but it's definitely better than where you live now. In addition, I heard that the fourth child of your family said that he had a daughter-in-law, but the other party dislikes your family background, so he asks for a lot of dowry, right? It doesn't matter, as long as the fourth child likes it, the dowry official will take it. If he doesn't agree, the official will send someone to talk to him to see if they don't even sell my face as a five-rank official. Over there in the cafeteria, from tomorrow, you can eat with confidence, whoever dares to stop it, I will break his leg! ”

"Master!"

When Shang Huaizhong knelt down again, he was already in tears. The first one knocked down one after another, and said loudly: "The sky has eyes!" sent a Qingtian master to our Shangyuan. It's a white bread to be made! Only for your grace, Master Fan, even if you want to kill the whole family, there is no second word in the next service! ”

In the Shang family, Fan Jin ate the most shoddy meal during this time. It's just a few simple vegetables, there is no meat at all, and the rice is also extremely inferior brown rice. But under the enthusiasm of the Shang family's father and son, he still ate the meal. He knew in his heart that as soon as he ate this meal, this family would be his hardcore followers. Even if someone takes gold and silver in the future, they can't buy these people. I am in Shangyuan, and I have the most loyal local team.

From the very beginning of registering the family information of the public servant, Fan Jin had the intention of visiting from house to house. There are too many official affairs in a county, and generally speaking, the prefectural magistrate does not have much time to visit the public officials. Even if he had extra time, he would visit the gentry or sing with the Chinese in the city. This is not only for pleasure, but also a necessary kind of interpersonal communication, and the way of doing so is first and foremost in the innocence of the great house, and the cornerstone of governance in these counties must be good relations. But in Fan Jin's view, although the big family and the giant room must be perfunctory, the fast public cannot relax.

These people represent the image of the yamen, and they are also the implementers of their own system, and if they can't be controlled, no matter how good the methods they use, they are useless. Coming out of Shang's house, according to the address, one by one walked up. Most of the condolences in later generations will bring some physical goods, and it is always good to give some benefits. Fan Jin also prepared a number of red paper bags, which were all two taels of silver, no more and no less, which was just in line with the status of the public.

But I didn't need the money with me. No family dared to take the money from the county order, and when they saw the sudden visit of the county order, most of the family's reaction was to kneel down and kowtow, and even shouted the grace of the grandfather, and the grandfather spared his life. Some hostesses even cried and scolded their men for doing too much evil on weekdays, and it was finally time for retribution. There are also some public servants who pour beans from bamboo tubes, confess their usual crimes, and ask for leniency.

Except for a few who were stunned, there were only a few people who could talk to Fan Jin normally, and there was basically such a person like Shang Huaizhong. Fan Jin stayed in these people's homes for a short time, unlike the Shang family who stayed to eat and chat, and his attitude was not all kind to these people, occasionally reprimanding them with a straight face, and then giving some warnings.

Treat different people and use different methods, which is often more effective for these black hearts.

After all, it was a different year, and when it got dark and left from a bookseller's house, Fan Jin muttered to himself in his heart. This era cannot be compared with the era of my previous life, in addition to the gap in science and technology, the most critical difference is people.

In this era, people often associate worship and fear with ignorance and superstition for people with meritorious reputations, and in their hearts, Fan Jin is a kind of jinshi and the first is a star in the sky, and he is not the same kind of person as himself. The stars to one's own house is the greatest blessing, and it is better than giving gold and silver treasures.

Officials, officials, and servants are like the existence of several different worlds, and there are inherently class differences. The officials used their advantages to fool the officials and put the chiefs at the mercy of the commanders. But when the officials suddenly came to their homes, the barrier between the two worlds was broken, just like the gods descended to earth, and mortals should naturally bow and worship.

Fan Jin didn't think that if he walked down in such a circle, all the officials would be like Shang Huaizhong who was dead set on himself. But this is an attitude to let the officials know that their county order is different from others.

The alienation between officials and servants has created an antagonistic relationship between the two, and this kind of convenient visit, and even the name of the newly-born child and the teaching of whose son to write a word, all make the catchers feel that they are the intimate people of the master. As long as they are willing to cooperate, or are afraid of themselves, the next training will be much easier.

Although he was not a police inspector in his previous life, he didn't know too much about police training methods, but he had never eaten pork and seen pigs go, and he could always see something from all sides, and combined with his actual work, he could probably still come up with some subjects. Then there is to go to some public officials who were not very successful in the Yu Deshui era to ask, not to mention that Shang Huaizhong, an old man, in addition to being able to conduct an autopsy, is no stranger to things in the yamen. With him as a guide, it is not difficult to come up with a teaching material.

Even this kind of grass platform team is much stronger than the fast fishing in this era, which has no vocational training at all. Both training and discipline can be uncomfortable, and it's important to get some people to buy in first. With grace and kindness, coupled with this kind of care, we can get the maximum support. Furthermore, this is also a warning, I know where your home is, I know who your family has, don't play tricks with this official.

Three days later, outside the Yawai of Shangyuan County.

When the people passing by saw more than 100 men wearing soapy clothes and hats rushing out in a swarm with water and fire sticks in their hands, they just wanted to fight with Jiangning County again.

But instead of coming out as usual, they shouted and smashed, or grabbed things, but began to line up in a chaotic manner. In these years, Jiang Ningcheng has been training as a soldier for a long time, let alone a public servant. The simple queue took a long time, and the queue was not very neat. At this time, I saw Fan Jin, who was dressed in official uniform, walking out of it, looking at everyone and asking loudly, "Who are you?" ”

"Shangyuan catches quickly!" Zhang Tiejian shouted loudly.

"What do you do?"

"Serve the people and keep the party safe!"

"Who are you going to protect?"

"Honest and law-abiding people!"

"Who are you going to arrest?"

"Scoundrels, bullies!"

"Zhang Tieji!"

"The next battle is here!"

"Take your men and start patrolling. Remember what you have said, remember your own identity, from today onwards, whoever dares to destroy the honor of the fast hunt is against this official, so against you! Take out a new look and let the fathers and villagers of Shangyuan see what it means to catch fast! ”
