Originally, Yang Tashan was a small head catcher, and he didn't invite the dignified four-grade prefect at all, and he was a newcomer, not to mention the prefect, even those adjutants such as the same acquaintance and the general judge, I am afraid they would not give him this face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It's just that Yang Tashan has just retrieved the official seal for the Han Governor's Mansion, and the Han Governor's Mansion is grateful for his merits, not only came to congratulate him in person, but also brought his wife to come with him.

Now that the prefect has gone, who of those adjutants dares not to move. So all of the people who got off the post came, and the small courtyard of Yang Tashan was crowded and lively.

The chairman of this banquet was set up in the living room, and Yang Tashan accompanied Han Zhifu and other high-quality officials to sit down, although Tian Nizi helped a lot, but ancient women were generally not allowed to sit at the table, but Yang Tashan remembered that she took such care of herself, and arranged for her to sit with his cousin Hou Wei, a thin monkey. But Tian Nizi didn't sit at all, and took her maid and Xing'er to greet the guests together.

Since it was the joy of housewarming, the guests who came naturally brought congratulatory gifts, Yang Tashan entertained the banquet of more than 30 people, and spent a total of five or six taels of silver, but the congratulatory gifts that were recovered, there were seven taels of gift money alone, not to mention some messy things.

The wine was drunk until the beginning of the lanterns, and then the Han Governor took his wife drunk and staggered to Yang Tashan and left. Immediately afterwards, all the guests also said goodbye and went back.

Tian Nizi and Xing'er have been busy helping Zhang Luo, and after the guests left, they had to be free. Yang Tashan was very grateful to Tian Nizi, and had been greeting the prefect just now, but at this moment the guests were all gone, leaving only Cheng Ziqin, Thin Monkey, Luo Yi and Ma Liang to accompany Yang Tashan to drink. The mess in the yard is cleaned up by the guys from Qingyang Restaurant.

Yang Tashan beckoned Tian Nizi, Xing'er and Tian Nizi's little maid Xiaolian to sit down and have a glass of wine together.

Tian Nizi was overwhelmed by the amount of alcohol, and soon drank with a flushed face, listening to Yang Tashan's strong thanks, she took advantage of the strength of the wine and said: "Brother Yang, are you really grateful?" ”

"Of course!" Yang Tashan smiled, "You have helped me so much, I am grateful in my heart." ”

Tian Nizi's eyes flowed, and she said in a greasy voice: "Then I still mentioned the last time, I have always wanted to recognize you as a godbrother, and now I mention it again, you call me a sister, do you miss it?" ”

Yang Tashan was originally grateful, the reason why he refused last time was because he was afraid that Long Wang would be too hearty, seeing his vigilant appearance, he was angry, this time he was able to enter the yamen as a catcher, Tian Nizi still helped a lot, that was really willing to help, and people didn't ask for anything for themselves, so Yang Tashan was still really grateful, plus he is now a head catcher, the size of this Qingyang Mansion is also a character, and he recognized Tian Nizi as a godsister, and it is not a high climb, not to mention that the wine has been drunk for seven or eight points.

So, he relied on the strength of the wine, stood up, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Since my sister values my little brother so much, my little brother is better to be respectful, my sister is above, please accept the little brother's courtesy." ”

Tian Nizi was overjoyed, and quickly got up and gave a blessing: "I have your younger brother, I am really happy to die." ”

Thin Monkey, Cheng Ziqin and others applauded and cheered, Yang Tashan took a glass of wine, toasted a glass of wine with Tian Nizi, and drank a glass with everyone.

A few people drank until the second watch, and then they dispersed.

Yang Tashan was already drunk, Xing'er helped him into the master bedroom to lie down, helped him take off his robe, and when he washed him, Yang Tashan was already asleep.

Early the next morning, Yang Tashan came to Yamen and officially took up his duty.

There are two main parts of the work of the yamen, criminal investigation and public security, and the criminal investigation actually includes some bailiff work, such as summoning defendants and witnesses. Of course, patrolling the streets is not the main responsibility of catching fast, patrolling the streets mainly depends on the people, which is equivalent to the current joint defense team, and catching fast is just patrolling.

Qingyang Mansion is divided into three groups, and if there is no homicide or major case, two groups of people are sent out to patrol the streets in turn every day, and the other group is waiting in the class room. Once a major case is discovered, two groups of people are generally sent to be responsible for the investigation, and if the case is particularly urgent and significant, then all three groups of arrests will be put into the investigation.

Yang Tashan is the deputy chief catcher, and this street patrol usually can't be sent to his head, and the thin monkey will go.

The first job assigned by Cheng Ziqin to Yang Tashan was a large number of case files, which were all unsolved cases that had recently occurred in Qingyang Mansion, there were about twenty or thirty cases, most of which were thefts, and there were no major cases such as homicides, not that there were no homicides, but because this kind of case must be solved, otherwise it would affect political performance, so if it can't be solved, it will find a prisoner to take the blame.

The records of these case files are very simple, they are all statements of some lost owners, and the stolen items are all small things such as rice and noodles, and in the largest case, the value of the stolen items did not exceed three taels.

These cases are simply recorded, separated by a long time and without a clue, and there is no way to investigate them. Besides, Yang Tashan had no interest in these petty theft cases at all, so he looked at them tastelessly, threw them aside, and said with a wry smile that he couldn't solve them.

Cheng Ziqin also understood Yang Tashan's psychology and said: "Since you don't want to solve the case, let's go patrol the streets." ”

Yang Tashan thought in his stomach, I would rather be bored and wander around the streets than bother with these clueless trivial cases. He smiled and said, "Okay! "Put your hand on the hilt of the knife and walk away.

Cheng Ziqin hurriedly said: "Wait, I'll go with you." ”

"Huh? You're going to patrol the streets, too? ”

"Originally, I didn't have to go in person, but you, the chief catcher, have been patrolling the streets, and I can't say anything if I don't go. Let's go together and have a company. ”

"Good! The so-called combination of men and women, work is not tiring. Yang Tashan said with a smile.

The two walked out of the yamen side by side, and patrolled all the way along the street to Xicheng.

There are districts to patrol the streets, and each has its own responsibilities, but Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan are the chief catchers, and their street patrols are equivalent to inspecting the work and walking around. The catchers in the area were very surprised to see the two catchers patrolling in person, and even a little moved, and they were busy nodding their heads and saying hello.

The two of them patrolled until the City God Temple in Xicheng, Yang Tashan remembered that when he first arrived in Qingyang Mansion, he once lived here with Xing'er, and now he has become the head catcher of Qingyang Mansion, and things in this world are really changing fast enough.

When Yang Tashan was sighing, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Always catch the head!" Total head-catcher~! ”

The two hurriedly turned around and looked, only to see the thin monkey catching fast with rabbit teeth, panting and running over. The thin monkey bent down and gasped for a few breaths, and then said: "Two head catchers, the prefect told you to go back quickly!" ”

The two were startled and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

The thin monkey said: "In Pingtougou outside the southern city, a ** headless female corpse was found!" ”

Yes? The two were taken aback, there was a murder! That's not a good thing.

Yang Tashan asked Cheng Ziqin to go back to the yamen first, and then went back to get his forensic physical evidence investigation box, and then rushed to the yamen. Because of the murder, both groups have been assembled.

Han Zhifu was already dressed and ready to go, and when he saw the two heads coming back, he ordered to get up the sedan chair, and the gong sounded in front of the soap to open the way.

The place where the body was found was next to a stinky ditch, and Luo Yi, the leader of the group of the arresters, had already arrived with Minzhuang in advance to set up a guard.

After the official sedan chair of the prefect came, it stopped under a willow tree far away, the prefect got off the sedan chair, and the sedan chair man carried a Taishi chair and placed it under the willow tree, and the umbrella man played a parasol, and the attendant handed fragrant tea.

Governor Han called Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan over, instructed them to have a good life to investigate, and then began to drink tea and cool off there.

It's good to be an official, this kind of thing only needs to be commanded from the side, just listen to the report, and then set a limit according to the situation of the case, and if the case cannot be solved within the limit, then the board that catches fast will shake the prestige.

Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan walked towards the corpse, and there was an old woman standing next to Luo Yi, who was already pale with fright and trembling all over, and there was a back basket next to it, in which most of the weeds were placed. This woman was the first to discover the body.

Cheng Ziqin asked, "Old man, where are you?" Tell me how the body was found. ”

The old woman nodded: "The people's woman Zhao is from Pingtougou Village in front of her." This morning, I came out to hunt pigweed, and I was almost done, and I thought of this little ditch to wash the pigweed, and I always felt that it stinked around here, and it was not the kind of smell of the ditch, so I stood up and looked around, and this sight almost scared me to death, and in the grass not far in front of me, there was a corpse, with no head, crawling with maggots, and I was frightened, so I ran back to report it. ”

"Good!" Cheng Ziqin nodded, "You haven't moved this corpse, have you?" ”

"I didn't ...... There was no ......, Li Zheng asked me and a few villagers to stay here, and they went to report to the official, and we watched from a distance and did not move. ”

"That's good!" Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan walked carefully to the corpse, only to see a ditch that was not wide, and the ditch was overgrown with messy aquatic plants twice, and the shore was knee-high thatch, and in the thatch two or three steps away from the ditch, there was a buzzing sound, and from time to time green-headed flies flew up and landed on their hair and shoulders.

Cheng Ziqin waved her hand in disgust to drive away these flies, this time she should not be the first time to go to the scene of a murder, because there is no novice's nervousness and excitement.

Five or six steps away from the buzzing place, Cheng Ziqin asked the others to wait in place, only taking Yang Tashan and the two to carefully approach the corpse, paying attention to possible traces on the ground along the way.
