Upper Beijing Prefectural Office.

Mei Xiaoren's house is far away from here, and when she goes out every day, the moon is still in the sky, and when she arrives at the Yamen, she has to listen to the nagging of Lord Yin for a while.

Yesterday, Wei Guogong also took her to say a few words to Tao Fu Yin, and Tao Fu Yin was very polite at that time, but now that he is sitting in the hall with a tense face, she knows that politeness can only be polite.

"Mei Fucheng." Tao Fu Yin leaned back in his chair and called indifferently.

Mei Xiaoren came out and gave his hand: "Humble duty." ”

"You've been here for a while, how do you feel about the errand in hand, are you tired?"

Mei Xiaoren buried his head and replied: "Thanks to the care of adults, I am not tired of my humble duties." ”

"If you're not tired, it means that you haven't done this errand yet! You just go out on the street every day and come back and write minutes, how can this be done? Tao Fuyin held the table with both hands, shook his head and said, "I went to the prison of the Beijing Government Bureau, which is more spacious than the prison cells of any state capital, but how many prisoners have been imprisoned?" ”

"There is no one in the cell, which shows that the adults have governed the capital very well." Mei Xiaoren said.

Tao Fuyin slapped on the desk and scolded: "Is this the good governance of this official, or are you not doing well?" ”

His nameless fire made Mei Xiaoren inexplicable, and she bowed her head and said: "I don't understand what the adults mean. ”

"Do you dare to say that there are no chickens and dogs in the capital, and the people don't close their doors at night?"

Mei Xiaoren replied in a low voice: "This is not ......"

"That is to say, you are not doing well, and you are allowed to let thieves run rampant under the nose of my Shangjing Government Office, so that the people cannot feel at ease." Tao Fu Yin snorted, "And you are embarrassed to say that the errand is easy, you have been in office for nearly a month, and how many thieves have you caught?" ”

Mei Xiaoren frowned, "My lord, if there is a theft in the market, the lowly will definitely send someone to catch the thief, but the capital is too peaceful, and the lowly always can't arrest people on the street at will, and frame people as thieves, right?" ”

"You mean the streets are full of good people? As a four-grade mansion, the official has been until now, and he can't even distinguish between good guys and bad guys? I heard that you are still a national soldier, and a national soldier is a pillar of the country, but you can't even do errands, which makes people criticize me for going to the Beijing Government for inaction! ”

Mei Xiaoren was silent, she could attribute Lord Fu Yin's actions to nothing to look for, but she couldn't contradict her boss.

"Yesterday, an official's housekeeper was shopping in the East Market, and the money bag was stolen, do you know?"

Mei Xiaoren only replied: "The humble post was in the Wei State Mansion yesterday, not in the market. ”

"Then you will go and make up for yesterday's mistakes today, and catch ten thieves and come back, not one of them will be missing!"

Mei Xiaoren frowned, it was not easy to catch thieves in the market, not to mention catching ten in one day......

"Do you hear that?" Tao Fu Yin accentuated his tone, took out the arrow on the table and threw it to the ground, "Go quickly, let this official see how capable you are as a national soldier from Xuanzhou." ”

Mei Xiaoren leaned over and picked up the arrow, and arched his hand: "Humble and orderly." ”

The wind was howling outside, and it was snowing in the sky.

Mei Xiaoren walked in the market, and saw that there were only a few pedestrians on the road, not to mention thieves.

She changed into her regular clothes, and her officials also wore cloth clothes, no different from passers-by. They scattered down the streets, each with conspicuous money bags hanging from their waists.

Mei Xiaoren only felt that there might not be a second fourth-grade official like her in the world, and she just dealt with some trivial disputes every day, and in order to catch a few little thieves, she had to be a bait herself.

The official next to her smiled with her and said: "Boss, I heard that you led soldiers to suppress bandits back then, and now you are willing to come to Beijing to catch thieves?" ”

Mei Xiaoren walked forward slowly and said, "Don't say that you are unwilling or unwilling, even if I see a thief now, I have to thank God." ”

Tao Fuyin is not joking, if she can't catch ten thieves today, not only will it be difficult to explain, but I'm afraid she will also have to burden her subordinates.

"Catch the thief, boss......"

A hurried shout came from behind Mei Xiaoren, and when she turned around, she saw a thin man rushing in the direction where they were, carrying a money bag in his hand.

Several of her subordinates chased after her, and Mei Xiaoren and the people around her also stepped forward to block the road. The thief saw that his way was blocked, and he slipped into the narrow alley.

"Chase!"

Mei Xiaoren and his men chased after him, the thief was very familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital, and he ran very fast all the way, and from time to time he threw some messy things at them.

A thief and five or six men chased after me on the long street, and bamboo baskets and vegetable baskets flew everywhere, attracting many people to watch in an instant, and the originally deserted market also became lively.

Mei Xiaoren was wrapped in a heavy winter coat, where could she run past the agile thief, after a few laps, she was so tired that she was out of breath, and she had to grit her teeth and persevere.

The officials are still trying to catch up, but fortunately, they are getting closer and closer to the thief.

Mei Xiaoren gestured to his men, and three of them ran into the alley next to them, and rushed out of the intersection in front of them, trapping the thief in the middle.

The thief had no way to escape, and the official was about to pounce on him to arrest someone, when suddenly, four black shadows jumped down in the air and caught the thief before they did.

Mei Xiaoren stopped, and the officials also stopped.

An official said in a trembling voice: "Boss, it's Xuanyiwei." ”

She saw it, and there were more than four Xuanyi guards coming, and the living Hades also came out of the alley by the roadside, holding the sword in his hand, and looked at her with a blank expression.

The people who were still watching the excitement all hid in the shops on the street, and only the people from the Beijing Government Office and the people from the Hidden Moon Platform were left on the street to confront each other.

Mei Xiaoren's heart was cold, and he blurted out a complaint: "Big brother, I won't take you to rob business like this!" ”

"In the entire Daning, no yamen dares to say that the hidden platform is robbing." Liuyue said coldly.

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, aren't all the big people you have arrested? Now I'm going to catch such a little thief in person, as for it? Mei Xiaoren was anxious and helpless.

"From the royal family to the Li people, there is no one who can't be caught in this seat."

Mei Xiao was angry, and when he saw that the thief was being escorted by two Xuanyi guards, he was already trembling with fright, and his legs trembled even more.

She stared at the thief and said, "You said you, what are you running, you only need to eat a few days in prison, but now it's okay, happy?" ”

The subordinates beside her said with bitter faces: "Boss, we finally caught a ......"

Liuyue sneered: "What is one, the entire thieves in Shangjing today are caught by the people of this seat, you can go back." ”

Mei Xiaoren only felt bad, and had to say calmly: "Governor, there is something to discuss, and such a trivial matter as catching a thief will bother you, so how can our Lord Yin go." ”

"You want this seat to give you back?"

Mei Xiaoren nodded unequivocally.

Liuyue said lightly: "Yes, you go and tell my master, as long as the master agrees, I will not only give this to you, but also give you a few more." ”

Mei Xiaoren grabbed his forehead.

"What, embarrassed?" Liuyue glanced at Mei Xiaoren and said indifferently, "If you don't deceive your teacher and destroy your ancestors, be ungrateful, and want to turn your face and deny people, how can you feel embarrassed." ”

Mei Xiaoren raised his head angrily, "How can I deceive my teacher and destroy my ancestors, how can I be ungrateful, why do I turn my face and deny people?" ”

Liuyue clasped her hands and sneered, "Then you should go, this seat is waiting for you." ”
