Chapter 417: Give Another Chance (Part I)

Fan's mother and her entourage stayed in Jiangning for five days, and finally left for the moment. Fan's mother is not a confused old man, she wisely foresees what trouble her son will bring if these children of her family are put on Jiangning Street, so she will only go anywhere in the yali for a few days, and let the mother-in-law of the family guard the door and prevent people from entering and leaving.

With her taking the lead, it will be difficult for others to go out. Fortunately, in this year, there are many large families who are similar to the family, the merchants bring in the goods, let the Fan family choose, but in the end, Xu Liu pays the bill.

On the dock, Fan Jin sent his mother onto the boat and talked with his mother, while Hu Er looked at his sister with a look of chagrin and complained in a low voice, "If my father is here, the cook bag will not be able to fly out of my hand." Your sister is so useless, these few nights, my brother-in-law is afraid that he spends more time with Black Widow than with you. Forgot what my mother taught you? You have to cry, you have to make a fuss, you have to spill, you can't do any of this, what should I do? ”

Sister Hu lowered her head, let her brother complain and didn't say a word, and when Brother Liang Pan greeted her, she immediately ran to the cabin, and when she entered the cabin, she turned back to Hu Er and said: "You have to listen to your brother-in-law, otherwise, if Brother Jin teaches you a lesson, I have nothing to say." Good job. ”

The ship untied the cable and set off, Fan Jin looked at the shadow of the ship that was gradually moving away, thinking about his mother's old state, and secretly felt sad in his heart. He could see his mother's attachment and reluctance to him, and wanted to live together as a family, but he was afraid that he would miss his future, so he hid this idea in his heart and didn't say it. If he could, he would actually like to leave his mother in the county office, and the family would still live in the same place. After all, with the current average life expectancy, no one can guess how many years he will live.

But Zhang Juzheng's invitation cannot be refused, his mother is obviously not used to the life and climate in the north, but for her own marriage, she has to grit her teeth and go north. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng's arrangement. There are many ways to make a promise, so why choose this one.

On the way back, his face was not very good-looking, and he didn't dare to talk much as soon as he was a new servant of the Fan family. In the past few days, they have received their official uniforms and have begun to receive training as officials. On the one hand, the martial artists of Mingfeng Dart Xing taught basic boxing skills, and on the other hand, several bookstores taught them the rules and regulations in the yamen.

Some of these farmers have practiced martial arts in their hometowns and have some foundations, while others have been engaged in manual labor for many years, and their physical fitness is always better than that of ordinary people, and the threshold for practicing boxing is lower than that of ordinary people. After Feng Mingqi's transformation, he also learned the easy-to-learn and powerful grappling and wrestling skills, which are suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and are extremely suitable for public people.

Of course, you can't become a master in a few days of drilling, but the basic quality and physical fitness of doing fast fishing are barely available. In terms of physical fitness, even if they are not as young and strong as those young and strong officials, they are enough to deal with ordinary petty theft. The real difficulty lies in the teaching of rules and regulations, as well as the observance of discipline.

These villagers from Guangdong, regardless of their surname Fan or Hu, can be arranged into the public service, and they think they are superior. In the class room, they were all arrogant, and they didn't take anyone else seriously, and they were only a little jealous of Zhang Tieji. In this case, Fan Jinding's rules and regulations, they are neither too lazy to memorize, nor are they willing to abide by them.

In fact, these systems can definitely be regarded as ahead of their time in the current era. Even Shang Huaizhong, a hardcore who is completely loyal to Yu Fan Jin, feels that some of the requirements are too high and beyond the scope of acceptance of the current catch. But Fan Jin is both powerful and powerful, and there are inspectors and school guards, and these people don't dare to come out openly to disagree.

Even this kind of husband can't afford it, and these new catchers feel even more unbelievable about these systems. Some of them have been in the city, and they have seen the appearance of catching fast, and they believe in their minds that this is a great profession that shows off their might, does whatever they want, and can make a fortune and solve their life's major affairs by the way. Now when I hear these rules and regulations, I feel inexplicable, and then I don't think so. My relatives have made a county order, and the system has nothing to do with me.

Hu Er, who had worked as an errand in the yamen, was respected as an expert by a group of people, and he also acted like an expert, regardless of how those systems only cared about how to divide money such as unlocking money, buying shoes, handling cases, and handing over complaints. When Zhang Tiejian said that since Fan Jin became the county order, all the bad rules and regulations of these officials were abolished, he almost jumped up and ran to the second hall without saying a word.

"Brother-in-law, you're crazy!" Hu Er couldn't care about the pain of the wound anymore, and frothed at the mouth to blame Fan Jin's mistakes. In his opinion, his brother-in-law is purely a layman who doesn't know anything, and he is frantically persecuting this group.

"Your name is Fan Jin, not Hai Rui, how can you act like that idiot? My father poured mold for eight lifetimes before he came to your house as a slave. My sister also deserves to be blind, and she actually wants you to be her husband. What do you have in your head, are you stupid to read! These are all fast ways to catch money, you cut off all the money roads, so how can you live? Just rely on the yamen to pay those two workers and food, how can you support your family? Besides, the children of the government officials are not allowed to take the imperial examination, and everyone comes and goes every day, what does it ruin the future of their children? Isn't it just about making money? A servant in Guangzhou also has a few hundred taels of silver in his account every year, and Jiangning is no worse than Guangzhou. Now that you've waived all these benefits, what's the point of catching fast? ”

Xinke is the second class of the first class, and he is Zhang Juzheng's quasi-son-in-law, in the Ming officialdom, even the ministers who are far higher than Fan Jin have to give him some face. There may be differences in everyone's positions, but there are few who can point to their noses and yell at him.

Even Feng Bangning had beaten him with his own hands, but now he was pointed at his nose by his brother-in-law from the countryside, and Fan Jin couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement in his heart. Perhaps this is the charm of a humane society.

He looked at Hu Er, his expression was as usual. "Oh? So what do you think? ”

"Needless to say, it's natural to restore the money. Even if the others don't recover, I'm going to recover. My father only has me, of course, he wants me to make a fortune so that he can save face for his old man. My sister has been kind to you since she was a child, and she didn't know how much money she stole from her family to help you, and a big girl was willing to sleep with you without a name, so that she couldn't get married. If she hadn't followed you, she would have married a good man a long time ago, and I would have been able to get some benefits. Now that I'm like this, it's all because she refuses to help me, you are now developed, and you can't be ungrateful. ”

Fan Jin didn't get angry, only sneered twice. "Are you the only one who thinks so, or is it everyone who thinks so?"

"What do those people think about me? They are not your relatives, nor have they been with you, so why bother with them whether they live or die. The people who came from Fanjiazhuang all meant this. If you don't plant a good field or do business, you come to Jiangning so far away to follow you, what are you trying to do? Not to get rich? You've cut off everyone's wealth, let's drink the northwest wind? ”

"You really want to get rich? Well, I'll give you a chance. From today onwards, you and Zhang Tiejian's team will patrol the streets, and as for whether you can make a fortune, it depends on your own ability. ”

Fan Jin did not respond positively to Hu Er's roar, but instead arranged for these people to go on patrol. Although Hu Er was smashed on the head by Fan Jin just a few days ago, he still felt that he was a winner at this time. A family is always a family, and no matter how big the ability is, there is nothing they can do about their relatives and clans. It was precisely when Hu Er heard similar news in the city of Guangzhou that he dared to eat Fan Jin. In fact, if it weren't for the jealousy of the domineering female dart masters in the Fan family's inner house, he would have wanted to touch the inner house and put the little cook to sleep first, so he wouldn't believe that his brother-in-law could break with him for this matter? But his sister gave him the girl's body, so she rushed to this one, and she should be kind to herself.

Full of the hope of making a fortune, early the next morning, Hu Er began to patrol the streets with Zhang Tiejian and a public servant. Except for him, almost all the Fan family members who stayed in Jiangning were sent in the same way, and they were led by one or two public servants to patrol the streets.

Zhang Tiejian traveled south and north, his accent was very mixed, and he could listen and speak Cantonese, so there was no obstacle in negotiating with Hu Er. He had intimidated Hu Er once on Fan Jin's orders before, and Hu Er was somewhat jealous of him. After all, this kind of Jianghu people are not good people, and there is no way to provoke him to kill people with a sword and escape. It was because he still tried his best to please him when he spoke, and introduced to Zhang Tiejian how good his sister and Fan Jin were, and how much Fan Jin owed his family.

The area they patrol is the large city of Jiangning, which is one of the most commercially developed areas in the whole city, and is also the boundary between Jiangning and Shangyuan counties. The street is paved with stone slabs, and the shops are all good tiled houses, which are full of style. There are all kinds of shops in all rows, and you can't see the end at a glance.

The streets are full of pedestrians, men, women and children. Hu Eryi walked over to several women with a smile, and when he saw that they were not afraid, but smiled at him, he became more and more bold. Said to Zhang Tieji: "Brother Zhang, you see that they are smiling at me, are they tempted by me?" The younger brother is not familiar with the geography and terroir of your Jiangning, so I have to ask Brother Zhang, did they do that? ”

"Don't talk nonsense. They were all women of good families. They only know that you are a fast catcher, so they are not afraid of you. Although Master Fan has not been in Shangyuan for a long time, he has done a lot of good things, and he is a famous Qingtian master. We, the servants, dare not mess around, and the common people will not be afraid if they like us. You see, the catchers over there are coming quickly, and they're running faster than hell. ”

Sure enough, there were also a few people wearing official clothes on the opposite side, and several women hurriedly bowed their heads and took the initiative to walk towards Zhang Tieji. Zhang Tiejian glanced at his companion, and the two formed a human wall side by side, blocking the sight of the opposite side. After greeting each other, the public belonging to different counties took a few steps forward, but turned around when they were about to make contact, leaving their backs to each other. Everyone is very sensitive to the management world, and no one will casually step into other people's territory, which is a big taboo.

Hu Er came over with a meat bun on his mouth at this time, and wondered: "Are the people here in Jiangning stupid, I take a few meat buns from him to eat, why doesn't he give me the usual money?" Isn't this one of your segments? These people don't have to pay to do business? ”

Zhang Tiejian glanced at his companion, and the servant shook his head and ran to negotiate with the boss who sold steamed buns, and the boss shook his head and smiled, but in the end he was forced to accept a few copper plates. Zhang Tiejian said with a calm face: "The rule set by the eldest lord is that you are not allowed to take anything from the people for nothing, and the same is true for merchants. They have paid taxes for setting up stalls, and it is their duty to ensure that their business is not harassed, and they are not qualified to ask for money. If you are found to be taking other people's things or extorting them, you will be driven out of the yamen with a cane of forty rods and will never be hired. Even if the people take the initiative to send food, they must pay, this is what was said during the training in the yamen, you don't seem to have listened to the class well, you owe this brother money for the buns, I will pay it back for you. Next time you eat, pay your own bills. ”

Hu Er sneered, "Wouldn't it?" What's the point of catching fast in this way? Brother Zhang has also run through the rivers and lakes, have you ever seen such a catcher? ”

At this time, he saw that the catcher who paid was stopped by an old woman again, and after chatting about something, the catcher said to Zhang Tieji: "This mother-in-law doesn't remember the way home!" ”

Zhang Tiejian hurriedly walked over, looked at the old woman a few times, and said, "I think she looks like someone from Chongshanfang, I seem to have seen her there." Besides, at her age, it is impossible to be too far away from home, if you bring someone over and ask, you should be able to find a home. ”

Hu Er was dumbfounded and said, "Brother Zhang, that old woman is dressed in tatters, she doesn't look like she is very rich, send her back...... I'm afraid it's a trip for nothing. ”

"It's not for thanks, but our duty is to solve people's dangers. Jiangning has good security here, and there are not so many Jiangyang thieves to arrest you. The most important thing to do is to solve problems for the people. Therefore, Master Fan has set up a rule, and it is obligatory to help the people solve their difficulties, and it is our fault to send this kind of people with unclear brains home, and we will be punished if we don't do it. ”

Zhang Tiejian said in a serious tone, "I have walked through the rivers and lakes, and I have seen what the attitude of people in many places is towards catching fast. We can make the people so supportive, it is Master Fan who came out step by step, and it is also the result of everyone's blood and sweat. When I first came, I ran a few pairs of boots, and every day from morning to night, in order to figure out my own management and recognize the heat of the pipe. You are a newcomer, you don't need to know so much, just recognize the street you patrol. And take care of your own hands, don't ruin the reputation we have earned so hard. There is one thing you may not know, Master Fan fought with Feng Bao's nephew some time ago, and more than a dozen of Feng thief's subordinates died outside the yamen. As for the wounded and disabled, there are even more. The place where Feng Bangning lives now is not far from where we patrol the street, about a few miles away. If you mess around, I'll throw you over there, and then shout that Fan Jin's brother-in-law is here, and see how you will happen when the time comes. ”

Hu Er asked, "Feng Bao...... Who is it? ”

"Long live the cronies and eunuchs around you, who are in charge of the East Factory."

Hu Er was stunned at first, and then the smile on his face gradually froze, no, like a rabbit that had only been hit by an arrow, he ran towards the yamen, cursing Fan Jin in the local dialect of his hometown as he ran, cursing him for not dying well.

ran back to the yamen in one breath, just in time for a few gentry in the city to come to see Fan Jin, he naturally couldn't go in. The things that these gentry talked about took up quite a bit of time, and he could not finish talking for a while, so he had to wait there. After a while, several groups of street patrol and fast hunting have returned, and the relationship between several Fan family members who accompanied the street patrol and the fast catch is also closer, and they also have a few words to chat while sitting there.

Hu Er pulled a person over and asked, "Seeing that you are smiling so happily, you must have received a lot of money this time, right?" ”

"Money? No, I haven't seen a penny. But to tell you, it's much happier than making money. I really like to do fast fishing now, there is no white patrol on the street, and there are girls smiling at me. ”
