Under the worried eyes of the Hua family, Li Ang was taken away by four arresters.

Li Ang is just a witness, not a prisoner, so naturally he doesn't need to be shackled. Of course, this is after getting the corresponding "shoe money", "food money", and "errand money", these catches are more polite. If it weren't for the filial piety money, they wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

In the administrative organs at the county level, in addition to the official positions of county order, county officer, chief bookkeeper, and county lieutenant, there are also six room clerks and three class officials.

There are three classes of officials, the first is the soap class, which stands for the county officials and serves as the honor guard, and also serves as the executioner to help scare people when trying the case.

The second is the fast class, which is to catch fast. It is used to take thieves, solve crimes and collect taxes. The third is the Zhuang class, which belongs to the people who are temporarily convened, do chores, and assist in defending the city in times of crisis.

For the governance of a county, the status of catching fast is very important. However, the important status of the fast catcher is the status of a pariah. The three classes of officials, except for the strong class, are all untouchables. The status is even lower than that of ordinary peasants.

But the catch is exercising public power, so in fact, the catch is very majestic in front of the common people. You say that he is cheap, he takes people, locks people at every turn, and makes you half dead.

Among the four catchers, the head catcher who led the team was called Xiao Liu, about thirty years old, of medium stature, and seemed very shrewd, and the other three people all called him Sixth Brother, but he was the first to look forward.

On the way, Li Ang tried his best to find something to talk to Xiao Liu, and wanted to mix it up first, which would be beneficial and harmless. Chinese, if you want to get acquainted with each other, the best way is of course at the wine table.

Before the group arrived at Xipu County, they passed by Chengzhongfang City and saw a restaurant with a good face and a fluttering wine flag. Li Ang smiled: "Brothers, I haven't eaten dinner yet, several big brothers have been tired all the way, and they must be hungry, how about we go have a meal first?" ”

There is wine to drink, and a few catches are naturally happy. Xiao Liu saw that it was not too late, and besides, Li Ang was not a repeat offender, so he took the lead into the restaurant.

The shopkeeper immediately greeted him: "Yo, it's Xiao Catcher, please sit down." Our store also has good fish, braised chicken, Jiannan roasted spring, do you want to catch the head? ”

Xiao Liu was really unkind, Da Ma Jindao sat down, and said: "Just do as you say, I'll have to hurry, hurry up!" ”

"I know, I know, I know, please wait, you will come right away."

Leon didn't know what a fish was at first? When the shop brought the fish to him, he realized that it was sashimi. The fillet is very thinly sliced, with white paper underneath and a few sprigs of coriander on the edge. In addition, use a small bowl with ginger and green onions and other dipping sauces.

Li Ang: Actually, this is rare and strange. At that time, the fishing and hunting atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was very prosperous, and the people liked to eat "cut fish", which was sashimi. The Japanese way of eating sashimi was passed down from the Tang Dynasty, and later from Japan back to China, and it was all the rage.

Du Fu has a poem "The Long Song of Jiang Qishao's Mansion in Ruxiang Township", which records in detail the process of eating sashimi.

"Xiao Zhutou, big brother Catcher, please!" Li Ang asked with a kind face. He often ate sashimi in later generations, because there were many condiments, which concealed the fishy smell of the fish, but retained the umami of the fish, which was very delicious.

What was this sashimi like in the Tang Dynasty? This is what attracted Leon the most. A few people started to move, Li Ang dipped the condiment, tasted a slice, and felt very good, so he couldn't help nodding again and again, and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, what kind of fish is this?" Carp? ”

He asked casually, but the shopkeeper suddenly jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and said excitedly: "What did you say, this guest officer?" How could this be a carp? This is the best sea bass, Xiao Catcher, you have to call the shots for the little one. ”

His surprise made Leon almost squirt out of his mouth, what's wrong with this?

Xiao Liu glanced at Li Ang with deep meaning, and said to the shopkeeper in an official tone: "Why don't I eat like sea bass?" You say it's not a carp if it's not a carp? ”

Plop! The shopkeeper was so frightened that he knelt on the edge of the table, kowtowed again and again: "Brothers, this is really not a carp, don't believe me, take out the fish head to show you."

"Nonsense! Can you tell just by looking at the head of a fish? ”

"Brother head catcher, this small shop doesn't charge money, this is really sea bass, how dare the small shop hurt a few big head catchers, it's really sea bass!"

"Since you say so, we have the right to believe you."

"Thank you for the big brother of the head catcher, thank you for the big brother of the head catcher" The store was amnesty, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.

The whole process was inexplicable to see Li Ang. Xiao Liu took a piece of sashimi and dipped it in the condiment and stuffed it into his mouth, took another sip of wine, and waited for the store to leave, before he smiled at Li Ang: "Brother Li's trick is good, hahaha"

"Xiao Zhutou has won the award, so I will say it casually, hehe!" Li Ang's face was full of smiles, and he poured wine and persuaded several people to drink one after another. But I wondered tightly in my heart, I couldn't figure out what I said just now, how could I scare the store like that, and it was not good to ask Xiao Liu and them about this matter.

As for Xiao Liu, they thought that this was a trick he came up with to blackmail the store, they usually eat and take cards, what kind of "meal money" and "errand money" are used, and the grade is much lower when they hear it.

In contrast, Li Ang's trick is much taller, and when he eats out in the future, he will ask the store if it is a carp if he has nothing to do, maybe he can eat it for nothing, and he can get some.

This small episode suddenly made Xiao Liu and Li Ang a lot closer, and several people ate happily, one of them named Ma San's catcher said with a smile: "Brother Li has a lot of potential to catch fast, even I sigh to myself." Brother Li, why don't you come and do this with us, there is food and drink, and people from all over the country have to respect three points, which is much better than farming at home. ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Li is here to do it with us, it just so happens that there is a shortage of places in the county's fast class."

The three of them all regarded Li Ang as a good seedling, and after speaking, they looked at Xiao Liu, the head catcher, and waited for him to speak, after all, he had to deal with this matter.

Li Ang thought about it secretly for a while, and then roughly understood that the reason why these people had the intention to pull him into the gang was because they thought he was very skillful.

Datang's fast catch is not only cheap, but also very small, only 80 yuan a month, less than three yuan a day. Yerong City's aunt gave Li Ang a meal and gave it back to the 4 boys.

In fact, the income of the fast catchers mainly depends on eating and taking cards. But the problem is that the government has a rule that unless there is official business, they are not allowed to go to the countryside at will, just to prevent them from going down to harm the people when they have nothing to do.

There are such hard and fast rules, how to make full use of every opportunity to catch more, which has become the most concerned thing for fast catchers.

This time, Li Ang casually said, and everyone found a simple and feasible new trick, this time the meal is free or second, the key is that you can rely on this name to eat in the future.

Xiao Liu thought for a while, glanced at Ma San and the others, and said, "Brother Li is not an ordinary person, how can he look down on our business, so don't toss around." ”

"Oh, too."

"Hey, hey"

Ma San and the others laughed dryly, and no longer asked what Li Ang meant, so they put aside the proposal just now, and everyone continued to eat and drink. After they were full of wine and food, the shopkeeper knew each other very well, and wrapped a braised chicken for each of them, and sent Li Ang and his party out of the gate with a nod.

Li Ang also got a braised chicken, and after going out, he stuffed it into Xiao Liu's hand and said: "Xiao Zhutou, you take it, and when you get to the county office, you still hope that Xiao Zhutou and a few big brothers will take care of it." ”

Syllable! At this moment, a leather whip rolled from behind and wrapped around Li Ang's hand, "Phew! Intimidation and blackmail, eat for nothing, something! As soon as Leon turned around, he was smacked.

"Yang Nan!"

"You dirty mouth, dare to call my name in the future, see if I don't knock out your teeth." Yang Nan, who was dressed in men's clothes and dressed as a beautiful young man, was full of disdain in his apricot eyes.

Xiao Liushen shouted: "Who dares to interfere with official business, take it!" ”
