In addition to the official seal officer, the composition of the ancient local government was the six-room scribe and the three-class officer.

These scribes are all considered 'regular workers', similar to 'civil servants', but these 'servants' have no official status.

Don't look at Wang Xuan's need for these fast arresters to come to the town, but it doesn't mean that these people have a very high status, in fact, whether it is Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, or Wang Dynasty Ma Han, all the fast catchers and government servants have a very low social status.

The first of the three classes is the soap class, which is mainly used as a guard of honor for the county lord or stands on both sides to scare and punish people when the case is tried; The second is the fast class, which is the kind of people we often call "catching fast", catching fast is not a profession, it is a collective name, and catching fast is all about catching criminals, solving cases, and collecting rent and taxes. The third is the Zhuang class, which is a temporary gathering of migrant workers, who can assist in defending the city in case of emergency, etc.

The three classes of officials do not have official status, which is equivalent to the nature of serving the yamen, and of course they will be paid, but they are very low. Among them, except for the Zhuang class, the remaining two classes of officials are untouchables, how cheap are they?

The status is the same as that of advocating excellent slaves and maids, and the descendants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination (three generations), and they are not allowed to donate to buy officials, although they do things for government officials, they are despised by the gentry, and think that they are insulting, so some families are strict with their children and grandchildren to do government service, because the negative impact is too great.

Officially, the status of the official is so depreciated, but it is not necessarily the case in life, after all, the work of 'managing people' is done by catching fast, and not everyone has to go to study and take the imperial examination......

On the contrary, all the people in the rivers and lakes are controlled, as the so-called, chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, in the official face, there is no righteous martial arts, evil martial arts, all of them are bad people, and they will not feel distressed on the official face and will only celebrate.

The so-called good and evil are all shouted by themselves in the martial arts, and the officials never admit it.

And these martial arts people never provoke official figures, in case they are made wanted, then there will be no good life.

Therefore, these catches are not used to protect Wang Xuan, but to use such a name.

After settling these guys, Wang Xuan found the old housekeeper, "Uncle Zhao, sit down, I have something to ask you." ”

"I can't help it." The old housekeeper waved his hand again and again, and asked his master to call him uncle, I am afraid that he will lose his life.

Let such an old man who has served him since he was a child call himself master, Wang Xuan feels awkward no matter what.

However, the old man said that he would not do anything, and Wang Xuan followed his wishes.

The main reason for calling the old man is to ask about the situation at home, who does the Wang family have an enmity with or what conflict of interest does the Wang family have, so Wang Xuan doesn't believe that someone will come to slaughter their family for no reason!

The old housekeeper sat there and pondered for a moment, "My Wang family is kind to people everywhere, and there is really no enemy, if you insist on saying that there is a grudge, then there is only the Mao family." ”

"It's because of the master."

"Me?" Wang Xuan was stunned.

"Yes, the old man was still young at that time, when he was in the private school, can he still remember the new master Mao Jia?"

Wang Xuan nodded, with some impressions, and his predecessor was a classmate.

"When I was a child, Mao Jiaxin was smart and clever, and at that time, the old man of the Mao family always boasted in front of the old master, and every time he made the old master very annoying."

This is one of the most hated creatures in the world, someone else's child.

"Later, when the child was examined, the old man went to the top in one fell swoop and surpassed the other party, and the old family owner celebrated for three days, and then he always liked to mention it in front of the Mao family."

Revenge, Chiguoguo's revenge!

"Since then, as he grows older, Mao Jiaxin has become more and more outstanding, whether in the school or outside, he is able to speak and communicate widely, and he is recognized as a talented man, and the master only knows how to study hard in the room at that time, so Mao's family is always compared in front of the old master."

Wang Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, slut!

But as a result, when taking the Xiucai test, the old man pressed the other party again, and for this reason, the old man celebrated for three days again, and liked to go to Mao's house every day...... I heard that the head of the Mao family was angry and vomited blood. ”

"Poof......" Wang Xuan really couldn't help laughing, it was really a little inappropriate at the moment when his parents died, but he couldn't help it!

"After more than half a year, the main door of the Mao family did not come out, and later, the lord buried himself in hard study again, and did not see the last township exam, although Mao Jiaxin was not admitted, but after all, he participated, and the master of the Mao family began to laugh again and said that the master was stupid in reading, Jiang Lang was exhausted, and he didn't even dare to take the exam...... The angry old master always has to walk around the Mao family. ”

A slut is hypocrisy!

"As a result, this township test ......"

There is no need for the old housekeeper to say that Wang Xuan knows it, there are a total of four people in Fuzhou Mansion in this township test, but there is nothing to do with this Mao Jiaxin, needless to say, according to the routine, his 'father' must be Daqing for three days, and he will visit Mao's house every day for half a year......

emmmmmmmmm, it's terrifying to think about...... I'm afraid that the old hairy head is not going to be angry into the coffin!

I don't know how lacking the entertainment life of the ancients is, and it is so big because of such a small thing!

Moreover, this predecessor is also a talent, not as sloppy as he imagined, and he is also a little expert in pretending to be B and slapping his face!

Think about it, modern people will have the desire to kill people because of selling watermelons and quarrels, not to mention, this is no longer a quarrel, the Venerable Master visits the door...... Think about that image......

This thing, do something!

That 'dad' in your own house is also a talent, why don't you get a pennant to hang at the door of people's homes.

Is......

In this way, the Mao family's motive for killing is there.

In addition, the old butler couldn't say anything, he was just a housekeeper, and he didn't know anything about the old man's business outside the city and the Grange outside the city.

This can be regarded as getting some news, and after the housekeeper left, Wang Xuan rested in the mourning hall.

He was the only son in the family, and he had to do the job.

If you don't say anything all night, you have to go out of the city to be buried the next day, and in the middle of summer, the corpse can't be parked for too long.

The ancestral tomb of the family is near the manor outside the city, and the manor is on the edge of the Min River, which is a large piece of good paddy field, with the size of thousands of acres, which has been accumulated by the Wang family for several generations.

Although the Wang family's cloth business is also doing very well, this thousand acres of land is the real foundation of the Wang family.

Quickly called Dai Yutang, and it could be regarded as doing his best, and he followed Wang Xuan to the outside of the city with six officials, which could be regarded as giving Wang Xuan personal protection.

Of course, on the one hand, this is because of Wang Xuan's identity, and more importantly, because of the prefect's orders.
