More than ten days have passed since the case of Widow Li, during this time, Liu Hua first went back to his hometown, got together with his parents, and after living at home for two or three days, Liu Hua went to Qingshi County to report to take office.

As a result, when Liu Hua arrived at the county office, Sun County Commander told him that he was no longer an official of Qingshi County, and his establishment was now in Yangzhou Mansion, and asked Liu Hua to report to the Yangzhou Governor's Yamen.

Hearing this, Liu Hua went to the prefect's yamen to report again, after Huang Baishan saw Liu Hua, he felt a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to settle Liu Hua? Liu Hua is Kangxi's personal nine-rank catcher, and at least he should be the chief catcher.

But now the chief catcher in the prefect's yamen is Tong Zhen, although Tong Zhen has not had too outstanding achievements over the years, but he has not caused trouble, and he has a lot of prestige in the fast catching circle, if he rashly replaces his chief catcher, Huang Baishan feels a little inappropriate.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Huang Baishan hesitated slightly, and then asked Liu to stay in the criminal arrest room, and gave him the position of deputy chief arrester, who was responsible for public security, taxation, prison, arraignment, detention, cases, evidence, stability maintenance and other matters in Yangzhou Prefecture.

The office location of the criminal arrest room is located in the first row of the east head of the prefect's yamen, and there are 12 houses in the entire office, which corresponds to the 12 counties in Yangzhou Prefecture.

The county team is below the county government head, each head is responsible for a county security case, out of this, there is no other department branch, once there is a tricky case in the jurisdiction, the local catchers report to the county head catcher, and then the county head catcher reports to the county captain, the most reckless report to the head catcher, the process is very simple.

After a brief exchange between Liu Hua and Tong Zhen, Tong Zhen proposed that Liu Hua should be the chief catcher, because Tong Zhen felt that it was more than enough for Liu Hua to serve as the chief catcher regardless of his case-handling ability or identity level.

After coming to Tong Zhen's office, Liu Hua found that the office environment inside was very simple, in addition to two desks in the room, there were only a few benches, the two of them said a few polite words, Tong Zhen pointed to a table and told Liu Hua that it would be his desk in the future.

Then, Tong Zhen introduced to Liu Hua that this room is the office of the two of them, and the room next to it is the other office space of the criminal arrest room.

Through Tong Zhen's introduction, Liu Hua just understood one thing, it turns out that Kuaishou is divided into catchers and Kuaishou, catchers are mainly responsible for arresting the murderer and arresting suspects, and Kuaishou's main work is to urge taxes, food, and investigate those who resist taxes, and generally do not participate in the investigation and handling of cases.

If a difficult case occurs underneath, the catchers of the local county government will report it, and at that time, the catchers in the prefect's yamen will go down to investigate the case. And once it's time to pay taxes, it's time for fast hands to appear.

After staying in the office all morning, Liu Hua couldn't sit still, he didn't even have a in the morning, and when he saw Liu Hua strolling around the room, Tong Zhen told Liu Hua that this kind of thing is very normal, and he will slowly get used to it in the future.

After eating in the yamen at noon, Liu Hua was too lazy to go back to the torture room, but went home directly.

The former Wu Mansion has now become Liu's Mansion, Liu Hua spent three taels of silver, and asked someone to make a solid wood plaque, which is carved in gilt with gilt carving, and a big "Liu's Mansion" is written from afar, which is very magnificent.

As for the courtyard, Liu Hua and Sun Shidong spent a day pulling out the grass in the yard and cleaning it carefully.

"Brother, if it weren't for your stinky beauty, we would definitely be living in a big golden house now, how could we live in this shabby place." Looking at the dirty walls around him and the empty room, Liu Hua couldn't help but complain.

"Big brother, okay, I'm not suffering with you, don't you chatter." After refuting a sentence, Sun Shidong leaned up: "Hey, Brother Liu, when are you going to the capital?" Didn't that Miss Linan ask you to solve the case?

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with your torture room, or is it? Let's go to the capital, shall we? As long as you help Miss Linan solve the case in her mouth, we will have money again, and at that time, your Liu Mansion can continue to decorate, how about it? To go or not to go? ”

"No, I don't have time now, let's wait until I'm done with the things in front of me." After replying, Liu Hua took out a pen and paper, thought for a moment, and then lay on the table to write.

During this time, Liu Hua locked himself in his room all day long, thinking, he wanted to form a department similar to the public security organs in later generations, but it was not so easy to set up a law enforcement agency out of thin air in this Qing Dynasty.

But no matter what, he has to try, Liu Hua has a plan in his heart, no matter how difficult it is, he must set up this institution, and then master it himself, and use it as the foundation for his future development, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in feudal society, he must have some hole cards under his hand.

When he had a framework in his mind, Liu Hua began to put it into action, he first wrote an outline, and then took several days to perfect it, and when it felt almost the same, Liu Hua took this plan and went to Tong Zhen.

After all, Tong Zhen is the chief catcher in the prefect's yamen, and he is in charge of the entire Yangzhou Mansion.

After Tong Zhen saw Liu Hua, he was a little surprised, because Liu Hua only stayed in the prefect's yamen for a morning, and then disappeared, it has been seven or eight days in a blink of an eye, Liu Hua has not come to work, and today he came to the office coldly, Tong Zhen is really a little uncomfortable.

After seeing Tong Zhen, Liu Hua first exchanged a few words with him, and then talked to him about his plan. And he showed him his plan.

After listening to Liu Hua's plan, although Tong Zhen didn't say anything, his brows wrinkled into the word "Sichuan". After reading Liu Hua's plan, although Tong Zhen no longer had a sad face, the expression on his face was still very solemn.

Putting Tong Zhen's expression in his eyes, Liu Hua knew that it was difficult for him to accept his plan for a while, so he analyzed Tong Zhen: "Total head catcher, at present, our fast catching industry, although there is some oil and water, but it is difficult to become a big tool, not only does he have no future development prospects, but he even has to affect future generations who cannot participate in the imperial examination."

However, once this institution of mine can be established, the situation will be very different, and at that time, I will apply to the imperial court for a place, so that the outstanding catchers can be quickly ranked and promoted, so that the brothers will have a head start in the future. ”

After Liu Hua's words fell, Tong Zhen said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhukuai, I know that you are also thinking about the brothers, but have you ever thought about it?" You, a nine-rank sesame official, are adding me, a headcatcher with no grade, and want to form an agency with law enforcement powers, will the imperial court approve it?

Even if the imperial court approves it, how will the personnel in this department be recruited in the future? In addition to a few people who can use it, the rest of the people will only go to the people's homes to collect taxes.

In addition, where will the office location, funds, and equipment come from? Although our Yangzhou Mansion is relatively wealthy, with my understanding of the prefect, it is impossible for him to allocate a large amount of funds to support a department with an uncertain future.

In addition, there are no empty houses in the prefect's yamen, and if you set up this department, you must first find a house to use as an office, which is a large expense, and in addition, swords, clothing, horses, investigative equipment, interrogation instruments, equipment in the temporary detention room, and other items, all of which require money.

In addition to these problems, there are many other problems, I will not list them to you one by one, even if I am willing to support you, it is in vain, let me see, you want to implement this plan, the difficulty is too great, if you don't do it, it will become a laughing stock, or forget it. ”

Hearing this, Liu Hua smiled slightly: "Chief Catcher, as long as you are willing to support my plan, this matter is already half successful, and I will do the rest, believe me, we will surprise everyone in the world in the future." ”
