Chapter 20 Recruitment
Lu Sheng was not polite and accepted it calmly. This is what the Division deserves, and it is now in dire need of money.
Seeing off the Li family's father and son, Lu Sheng hurriedly returned to the study and wrote a recruitment notice for Lao Wei to paste out.
This time, the Criminal Division encountered martial arts people, and it is more likely to meet them in the future. On your own, it is absolutely difficult to stand alone. And the three of Lao Wei are too old, and they are indeed no longer suitable for running.
Lu Sheng's conditions were very gratifying, fifty taels of silver a month.
Although the number is small, these fifty taels are definitely a huge amount of money for the people of this era. Lu Sheng is an official of the eighth grade, and Yue Feng is only seven taels of silver.
Not long after the announcement was posted, it really caused quite a stir. Many people who saw the announcement even put down their work and came to sign up enthusiastically, and for a while, the door of the Criminal Division was lively.
Lu Sheng was dressed in an official uniform, pacing with the steps of an official master, looking at the excited crowd in front of him.
"This official was in charge of the Criminal Division at the beginning, and the Criminal Division was in ruins, so he paid a lot of money to hire a guard for the Criminal Division. Fifty taels of silver a month! Do you think it's appropriate to give fifty taels this month?"
"Suitable—" There was a howl of excitement from the crowd.
Although Lu Sheng is wearing an official uniform, he still has an official authority. But Lu Sheng's official authority really has no deterrent effect. In the eyes of the people of Suzhou, this is a bit like a toddler in Handan.
"The silver offered by the official is appropriate, but the official wants to see if you are fit to receive the fifty taels of silver.
The purpose of the criminal department is to fight against the most vicious criminals and to assist the official in handling the case. There are not many people, but their ability is high.
Ahri!"
"In!" Lu Li came to Lu Sheng excitedly, this was the first time Lu Sheng really gave her a task.
"This is my sister Lu Li, and she will be your chief examiner. My request is very simple, as long as I hold up thirty moves in her hands, I can receive the fifty taels of silver. Everyone, one by one!"
"I'll come first!" As soon as the words fell, a loud shout rang out from the crowd.
The crowd was pushed away, and a strong man with a body of flesh and a height of eight feet walked slowly with heavy steps.
"Eh, aren't you a butcher Zhang?
"If I can receive fifty taels of silver, what pig shall I kill?"
Butcher Zhang is very confident, and in the entire Suzhou City, he is the most burly and has the greatest strength. Moreover, he has never been defeated in countless fights since he was a child, so Butcher Zhang has never doubted whether he can pass the assessment.
A little girl with a thin bamboo pole can't beat it?
"What's your name?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
"Lord Hui, my name is Zhang Jia, and everyone else calls me Zhang Butcher!"
Lu Sheng nodded and pointed to a row of weapons not far away, "These weapons, you can choose at will." ”
"This ......" Butcher Zhang became a little hesitant, with an embarrassed smile on his face, "My lord, the villain is not used to this, can the villain use my pig-killing knife?"
"Yes!" Lu Sheng knew that the real masters had their own unique weapons.
I saw Butcher Zhang pull out a black and shiny pig-killing knife from his waist, and this knife alone was estimated to weigh at least thirty catties.
Butcher Zhang's pig-killing knife is an ancestral heirloom, and some people have seen that Butcher Zhang can split a pig from head to butt with a single knife.
With this knife taken out, the momentum has already won half of it.
"Let's start!" Lu Sheng said again casually, Butcher Zhang hesitated slightly, looking at Lu Li, he didn't dare to start.
"What's the matter? What are you waiting for?" Lu Sheng asked with a slight frown.
"My lord, the little man has a lot of strength, and he has a knife in his hand...... That's your sister, and she's so small, I'm afraid ......"
Looking at Butcher Zhang's hesitant face, Lu Sheng suddenly smiled, "If you have the ability to hurt my sister, this official can add another ten or two months." ”
At the thought of the tempting fifty taels of silver, Butcher Zhang no longer hesitated. The murderous aura accumulated by killing pigs all year round instantly overflowed on his face.
"Kill—"
The knife was raised above his head, and it rushed towards the civet like a mountain. Even the people watching the battle around them were so frightened that they took a step back. And the civet was standing still in the distance.
"Ahhhhhh
Whew-
The pig-killing knife fell, but there was no more Lu Li's figure in front of him. When Butcher Zhang was still puzzled, Lu Li's figure appeared behind Butcher Zhang like a ghost.
Raising his palm, he slapped it on Butcher Zhang's waist like a floating cloud. With the height of the land beaver, it can only be around the waist.
The internal force surged, and a ripple that was visible to the naked eye rippled out.
"Boom-"
Butcher Zhang didn't even figure out what was going on, and his body flew out as if he had been hit by a big truck.
"Ouch-"
flew out more than ten meters away, and his face hit the ground fiercely. This is still Lu Li's skill, if it is really such a solid palm, Butcher Zhang can fall even if he is not disabled.
Zhang Butcher got up sharply, with a look of shame on his face. Just as he was about to raise the pig-killing knife, Lu Sheng hurriedly spoke.
"Stop!
"Adult, give the villain another chance, the villain was not ready just now......"
"Zhang Jia, if Ahri was a vicious criminal, would he have given you another chance just now? If you were arresting a criminal just now, you are dead now! Okay, next!"
Although Butcher Zhang's defeat gave them a great blow to their motivation, the temptation of Fifty Years of Yuefeng still prompted them to move forward. In order to win, a variety of moves are used.
On the contrary, the combat experience against Lu Liqi has improved a lot, but unfortunately, even if the people of Suzhou are forced to come up with more whimsical ideas, they still can't pass three moves in the hands of Lu Li.
Gradually, no one was willing to challenge me anymore.
But Lu Sheng had no intention of lowering his standards, and he didn't open fifty taels of silver casually. In the future, they will even have to confront the people in the rivers and lakes, and they will recruit them if they are not good at martial arts, which is irresponsible for their lives.
The day passed like this, and Lu Lixi was tired enough. After the assessment was over, Lu Sheng didn't leave for a long time, staring at the announcement thoughtfully.
"My lord, what are you looking at?" asked Lao Wei when he came behind Lu Sheng.
"Lao Wei, I think it's best to post this announcement at the gates of the four cities of Suzhou, and then the main mixed places must also be pasted, just posted at our door, except for the real masters of the people who eat melons, right?"
"That's easy to do, I'll call Lao Xing and them together, and post them everywhere!"
"Thank you. ”
Early the next morning, bright red job postings were already plastered all over the streets. Lu Sheng pointed out a few places, and Lao Wei felt that they were not strong enough to post all the places where there were many people.
The cold mountain bell rang in the early morning, and the four gates of Suzhou City were opened almost simultaneously.
A woman dressed in black slowly stepped into the gate of Suzhou Mansion with an iron chain in her hand, and behind her was led by three dejected men.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Such a vivid scene naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the guards at the door, and hurriedly shouted.
The woman did not panic at all, and took out a few pieces of paper from her arms and handed them to the guards at the city gate. The guard picked up the paper suspiciously, and after looking at it, he recognized the three unkempt men.
"Li Da, Qiu Jiang, Hao Tianbao! You three have finally been caught! The girl is a famous hunter spider?"
"Yes, can this girl go in?"
"Yes, girl, please!"
The woman pulled the three of them into the city gate of Suzhou again, and just stepped in, she suddenly stopped and shouted. Behind the city gate of Suzhou, a red announcement was crowded with people eating melons.
The woman looked at it from a distance and had already read it.
"Fifty taels of the Punishment Division?"
The woman looked back at the three guys who had been arrested by her own hard work, and her face showed a hint of intention.
These three people are fugitives who committed a big case in Suzhou Mansion, the case is not complicated, and it took a short time for Governor Qian to find out the truth and lock up the suspect. But the three escaped from Suzhou quickly after committing the crime, and the vast sea of people did not know where to go.
Therefore, the government issued a wanted notice for the three of them, and one of them offered a reward of 100 taels.
In order to catch these three, the spider chased them for half a year before they caught them.
The bounty for the three of them is three hundred taels, and the monthly service of the criminal division and the guard is also three hundred taels for half a year, but the difference is very different.
The government doesn't always have important criminals to want, and when they don't, they don't have any income as bounty hunters. And it's not easy for them to go to other state capitals to take orders, although the official bounty is for everyone, but bounty hunters also have their circle.
It was taboo to step on the line, so seeing this announcement, the spider instantly made a decision. Who would want to be a casual worker with a fixed salary?
The next day, there were more people who came to the Criminal Division to sign up than yesterday, but most of them were still melon-eating people. After dozens of them were beaten down by Lu Sheng's move, there were not many people who dared to participate in the assessment.
Just when Lu Sheng thought that the master of Suzhou City was disdainful of fifty taels of silver, an interesting master suddenly appeared.
It was a sharp-beaked monkey with cheeks, like a monkey. Dressed in gray linen, the one that would never make people look second when thrown into the crowd.
But this person's light skills turned out to be very good, at least until the battle, leading Lu Raccoon to jump up and down, and Lu Raccoon didn't even touch the corners of people's clothes.
"Stop! You're through!"
"Brother, how can he pass it? We haven't fought each other yet-" Lu Li was a little unhappy, this guy had been playing with himself for so long, why did he still let him pass the assessment?
"You can't even chase him, do you still need to fight? When we handle the case, if we can't beat him, at least he can still run. ”
"Brother, the guard we are looking for is to hunt down the criminals, what is the reason for running away if you can't beat them?"
"What do you think I'm asking you to assess their martial arts? Arresting criminals is a matter of the yamen catching quickly, but if it doesn't work, there are still six doors, and Fei Lingwei can't take our turn.
The reason why you are required to have martial arts is to prevent the gangsters from dying in anger and breaking the net. To ask you to know martial arts is to ask you to be able to save your own life!"
After listening to Lu Sheng's words, the people who eat melons no longer complained that Lu Sheng's requirements were too high, but praised Lu Sheng for everyone's sake.
The people of this era are really fooled.
