In the Ming system, there is actually no position of head catcher. All the servants are lowly servants, and the personnel engaged are all servants, so there is no talk of the concept of a leader. It's just that within the yamen, the officials will elect a leader, that is, the head catcher or squad leader.

In terms of system, they are the lowest servants, just like other government officials, but within the industry, they often have an authority that ordinary people can hardly imagine. Yu Deshui and Liu Mazi were famous evil stars in Shangyuan County at the beginning, and even if it was a county order, they had to give them some face.

When Lai Yangshan first came, he was very dissatisfied with many of Yu Deshui's practices, but Yu Deshui simply came to complain about his illness, and the number of theft and robbery cases in Shangyuan County increased threefold within half a month, and Ying Tianfu couldn't sit still and sent someone to hold him accountable. In the end, the county had no choice, so he took the initiative to ask Yu Deshui to go out of the mountain, so as to stabilize the situation.

In Fan Jin's opinion, this person is already a bit of a 500 million Inspector Lei Laohu in the future, and he has run his own forces in the Shangyuan Yamen. Iron beats the Yamen Flowing Water Officer, and he may not be able to obey himself as a Zhengyin official. He gave a lot of benefits, but Yu Deshui may not be able to see it, on the contrary, his move of arranging people in the yamen is an infringement of his interests, and Yu Deshui has some opinions about his own county order.

Yu Deshui received the summons and went down, and Fan Jin called Zhang Tiejian and said, "Tie Arm, tell me, he may bring someone tomorrow?" ”

"Master, do you need to talk about this? I can't bring it. Not only can't they bring people, but most of these two guys will leave Shangyuan and hide in Jiangning County, so that we can't catch them. It has been a rule for hundreds of years that the servants sell and release robbers, and as long as the money arrives, it is a great sin, and it is enough to say that you can't catch it. If there is no money benefit, how can the surplus water be so happy. What's more, the sins of these two people are not big or small, and the master can't do anything to him. If it can't be transmitted, people will not be able to hang there. ”

"I think a similar way to you, so I didn't even think about him bringing people in. I've found a relationship to get someone privately. Feng Mingqi and Feng Si Dad will come out. ”

Zhang Tiejian was stunned for a moment, "Fourth Father Feng? He wants to arrest someone, isn't it a matter of catching him? Send a word, and the two of them will have to go to the yamen to surrender themselves. But the little one doesn't understand, so why issue a summons in this case? ”

"How can I clean him up without a summons? If you don't beat his arrogance, how can you catch the head? How did you do with the errand that the official handed over to you? ”

Zhang Tiejian hurriedly took out an account book from his body, "The villain has not dared to be lazy in the past few days, except that you don't let the villain move today, you have been running outside for the past few days." The household registration situation of the three nearby streets has been asked clearly, and I have had a drink with several bosses on the dock. As soon as the name of the master was mentioned, all the bosses did not say a word, and they were willing to serve the master. Your cowpox save not only the dignitaries, but also the bitter haha, even those of us who run the rivers and lakes have to thank you for your old grace. Is the remaining water a ball? Even if he still wants to make a statement like last time and make a big mess in the world, he has to be praised by others. ”

Fan Jin said: "Those people praise him because of interests. Once a character like Hai Jui comes, their own interests cannot be protected, and they will definitely make trouble. As long as the official shows an attitude, he only moves the remaining water, and does not move others. If anyone has the same heart as him, I will be polite to him, and I want to see how the rest of the water is making trouble. You go, call Yu Hai to catch the fast, this official has something to say. ”

Yu Hai is Yu Deshui's nephew and disciple, and Yu Deshui's own son Yu Huajiao has to wait for his father to retire before he can take office. Although he also has family heirloom skills, but in the future, when he enters the yamen, he must have personal support, and Yu Hai is the arm that Yu Deshui cultivated for his son.

He was in his thirties, short and stout, with large ears and powerful piercings. Compared with his uncle, Yu Hai's attitude was much more deferential. After all, he is only a nephew, and he does not have the appeal and influence of his uncle, and he does not have the qualifications to be presumptuous in front of his grandfather.

Fan Jin looked at him, first asked about simple topics such as age, and then said: "Yu Hai, what do you think of this official canteen?"

"This is the grace of the master, the subordinates are grateful to Dade, and they all think of the benefits of the master!"

"Really? I'm afraid it's not like that, right? I've heard that some officials privately say that this canteen is not doing very well. The officials, the clerks, the clerks, and the officials eat in three canteens, and the food standards are different, nominally to help you solve the meal, but in fact it is convenient for the officials to eat and drink spicy food by themselves, what do you think of this? I also heard that some people complained that the rice received by the family members was not enough to eat, and it was the supervisors who deducted it. ”

Yu Hai was stunned, this was said by his uncle in private, and except for a few disciples of his uncle, who heard this, how did it reach the ears of the county officials? Could it be that his hand has reached out to his side?

He was not a scheming person in the first place, otherwise Yu Deshui would not have let him be his son's assistant, and when his uncle was not around, he didn't know how to deal with it, so he only blushed and said, "This ...... This...... This is no word. I think someone is chewing the root of the tongue, don't mistake people's words. ”

"No, no, I think that makes sense. It's because the official didn't think it through. In the past, you were all in charge of the canteen, but as soon as the official came, he handed over the mission to his nephew, and you must be dissatisfied. ”

"I didn't ...... No. How dare you be dissatisfied? It is...... It's just that the taste difference between Cantonese and our locals is a bit big, and the cooked rice is a little unaccustomed. ”

"That's right, that's where this official was negligent. You have made a good suggestion, and you should raise more such opinions in the future, and the more you raise, the more you will be able to make fewer mistakes. You are in charge of this canteen, can you manage it well? ”

Yu Hai was stunned for a moment, a little unable to believe his ears, and looked up at Fan Jin and said, "Master, you mean?" ”

"Since you are not used to cooking in Cantonese, it is better for the locals to take care of it. The official knows that you are an honest person, and if you want to come to the dining hall and hand it over to you, you will definitely be able to manage it well. However, the ugly words are in front, our Shangyuan Dining Hall is marked in the house, and there is no Quan Yingtian or even the entire Ming Dynasty. In Jiangning City, I don't know how many eyes are looking at us, I have no objection to hosting a canteen to make a fortune, but there must be a degree. I don't want to do it well, but at least I have to get by on the surface, if everyone says that they can't eat enough, or there is something wrong with the food, it will be a slap in the face of the official. At that time, don't blame the official for being unkind! ”

"Don't worry, master! How can you do such a thing in the next battle? Guaranteed not to damage your face. ”

Of course, Yu Hai knew how big the oil and water were in the canteen. The family members of the officials all receive rice and firewood to eat and cook at home, and as long as they deduct a little, they will enjoy inexhaustible. Although he has gray income as a fast catcher, most of the head is in the hands of his uncle, and he just drinks some soup with him. The income of this canteen belongs to itself, how can the two oil and water be compared?

He didn't know what kind of good luck he had paid, and he let this pie fall on his head, and he was ecstatic in his heart, and he knocked his head several times in a row. Fan Jin waved his hand and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, I can trust you to let you do this errand." Come, the official will give you an official document, and go to the account room to pay a tael of silver. ”

A tael of silver?

Yu Hai thought that he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously asked, "Master, how many silver taels did you say to give to the next soldier?" ”

"A tael of silver. There are eight days left in the month to finish, and a tael of silver will suffice. Wait until the beginning of next month, and the official will send you three or two...... No, seeing that you are the first manager, it is better to give you four taels of silver, and it is also to sell your uncle a face. If you manage it well, I will add another one or two to you, which is considered a little subsidy for you. This is also for the sake of Yu Lao's hard work, so you don't have to thank me. ”

Thank?

Yu Hai's joy was of course gone at this time, and all that was left was anxiety and anger. The number of servants, including their families, was six or seven hundred. One tael of silver is at most a day's or two days of firewood salary, and if you give yourself five taels of silver a month, you will have to go bankrupt if you can't manage it for a month.

He hurriedly said, "Master, this food is ...... cost."

"Is it too much for food? You're welcome, if you have more, you can keep it for yourself, and it will be a reward for you. But remember, the canteen must not be delayed, and there must be no shortage of rice for the relatives of the public, and if it is too late, I will let those people come to your house to eat. When the time comes, don't blame the official law of this county for being ruthless, go down! ”

Zhang Tiejian walked up with a smile, picked up Yu Hai, and clasped his shoulders like hooked iron fingers. "Yu Tou'er, I have to congratulate you, the number one fat difference in our county, I will let you take it. I've been serving the master for so long, and it's not my turn to be so bad, or you have a cult, don't forget to invite me to drink when you turn around. ”

Half of Yu Hai's body, who was grabbed by Zhang Tie's arm on the shoulder, didn't obey the call as if he was paralyzed, and he knew that when he encountered someone who hit the skill, he would suffer if his means were hard, and he didn't dare to struggle at all. When the person was pushed out of the second hall, a word he heard from his uncle's mouth suddenly appeared in his mind: Breaking the family county order.

Baili Hou is Baili Hou after all, even if he is a magistrate in a place like Shangyuan, there are many constraints, such as ropes and ropes that cannot be used, and he is often weak to other yamen and gentry, but it is more than enough to pack up the officials and officials. When Fan Jin really showed his official authority and sent such a doomed bankrupt to himself, just like he sent a doomed force to others in the first place, he had no way to appeal and was powerless to resist......

The canteen of the yamen is in charge of breakfast, lunch and dinner, Fan Jin himself does not open a stove, if he does not go out to eat a banquet at night, it is a two-person world with Zheng Chan. It was getting late, and there were no guests, so Zheng Chan let go of her courage and leaned on Fan Jin's arms to let him handle it, her face was as red as the morning glow, and her eyes were as charming as silk.

"The canteen? Where can the slave family wrap it? Female stream, can't be wrapped. If you want to pack, I will only pack the one in charge. Wrap you up inside and out, and give it to no one. ”

"Why can't you wrap it? I said yes. Fan Jin laughed twice, and his hand was picking stars and taking the moon. Listen to me, the yamen has not been straightened out at the moment, and when I am straightened out, they will all have to be at my mercy. At that point, I said how it was, and it was how it was. Didn't they say that I was making a fortune for myself by running this canteen? How big a plate is it in total, and what kind of wealth is made? But since that's the case, I'll let them see it once, and if they have the ability, just go to me and see who can participate. You just put on a name, you don't need to show up to negotiate with a man, you just take care of it, and then I will let Zhigao do it, just tell me if there is anything wrong. ”

"That's okay, but I have to say it, I'm only in the inner house, and I don't see anyone except the owner."

"It's not that you didn't talk to men when you were in Beijing, and there were scolding and fighting with Zhigao, why can't you get out of the door now?"

"That's it. Now the identity of the slave family is the person in charge of the house, I can do whatever I want, and your dignity cannot be ignored. As soon as people say it, Mrs. Fan's cook and the man fight and scold each other, which ruins your font size. Besides, if there is a gossip in the future, I can't defend myself. is like Qian Caiyin, even if she comes to you now and says that she hasn't slept with another man, how can she prove it? ”

Fan Jin didn't want her to have such a deep grudge against Qian Caiyin, and still remembered that he was about to find a reason to justify, but Fan Zhigao knocked on the door with a thief smile on his face, signaling Fan to come in and out to speak. Fan Jin slapped the table lightly, "Bastard!" You are a junior and ask the older to come out and speak, is there still a bit of courtesy? No matter how small our Fan family is, this bit of system is always there, you just came out for a few days, and you forgot it all? Say it here! ”

Fan Zhigao looked at Zheng Chan, and had no choice but to say in Cantonese vernacular: "Uncle Nine, two women came to you, saying that it was Yu Hai's wife and daughter, and they begged Uncle Nine to spare their lives, so it's inconvenient for her to see it." ”

Fan Jin responded in official words: "The daughters of the Yu Hai family, ask them to come here, Chan'er, you are also here, watch a good show." ”

The eldest of the two women is less than thirty years old, and the younger one is fourteen or fifteen, she looks very thoughtful, and her face is smeared with some fat powder, and the clothes on her body are specially selected to be extremely close-fitting to reflect her figure as much as possible. Under the lights, it can be regarded as somewhat attractive. The older woman looked sad and sad, but the young girl stared at Fan Jin, and after a while, her face turned red, her body moved forward, and she deliberately puffed out her chest.

The older woman said, "The little woman is Yu Hai's Hun family, and this is my daughter." She's just fourteen years old, and she's still a ...... Girl. The child's father is a bastard, and he doesn't know where he doesn't speak well, so he collided with the grandfather and asked the grandfather to take the life of our family. The Taiye's daimyo slave family has heard for a long time, you are a compassionate person, a living immortal, and you can't see it like a mortal. For the sake of the old and the young in the family, and a child who is just about to leave, I beg you to spare the lives of our family and spare Ahai's canteen errands. The slave family brought a girl, and tonight I will give the grandfather a red look and add some joy. ”

Zheng Chan's face changed, if it weren't for Fan Jin beside her, she would have already started scolding, or jumped up and pulled her hair and slapped her. She looked at the two women with a cold face, comparing herself with herself, she was not as beautiful as herself, but she was not too ugly. Especially the little one is still a girl...... She looked at Fan Jin, and her heart rose inexplicably.

Fan Jin said coldly: "I'll give you a canteen to manage, this is something that you can't ask for, isn't it still given?" Did you come on your own mind, or did you come with the idea of the rest of the water? ”

"Master, this is the idea of the little woman couple, and it has nothing to do with others. You are the master of Qingtian, don't take the little people to have fun, that little money to manage the canteen is for us to live with our family. You know best what is at stake here, so please be merciful. ”

The woman kowtowed to her daughter a few times, and ruthlessly unbuttoned her clothes by kowtowing, revealing all the clothes inside.

"My family is a small family, there is nothing that can make the grandfather look at it, and the only ones in the family who can show their hands are the two of us. Just ask you to be kind, we ...... We're all yours. ”

"This is the ...... Does Yu Hai know? ”

The woman's face was already red with shame, but she still pulled her clothes down little by little, and the daughter behind her began to unbutton them. "Of course he is...... Aware. But there is no way, when he sent the manpower to be poor, he didn't sleep with other people's Hun family, daughter, this is ...... Retribution. ”

"Why don't you go and find the remaining water? You're relatives, let him help you. ”

"If you're looking for your uncle...... I don't know if it's useless, and besides, I have to serve him all night if I beg him. The left and right are the same, it's not as simple as serving the master. ”

Fan Jin laughed and slapped the table lightly, "Nonsense!" What are you doing here? Don't get dressed yet! I have a few words, you two listen to it, go back and tell Yu Hai, if you want to avoid the cafeteria, and you don't want to be cuckolded, just do what I say. ”
