Qingzhou.

Hurrying up and bumpy along the way, Yi Fan and his party finally arrived before dark.

This Qingzhou is a large state capital belonging to the Dafeng Dynasty, the city covers an area of 10,000 hectares, it is the only fortress connecting the Central Plains in the southeast mountain range, the hinterland of the Central Plains in the north, and the heavy mountains in the south, which is the throat of the southeast.

Entering the city, Yi Fan said goodbye to the people of Liuye Villa, although they only got along for a few days, he had a good impression of these people.

"Hall Master, we'll have a meeting later. Yi Fan bowed his hand.

Gao Curtain replied: "Brother Yi, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when we will be able to meet."

If you encounter difficulties, or if you are not happy in the palace, the doors of Willow Leaf Villa will always be open for you. ”

Yi Fan nodded and smiled: "Hall Master's words, Yi remembered.

When you reunite in the future, you will definitely not get drunk or return with the hall master. ”

Gao Lian laughed and said: "It's easy to say, where the rivers and lakes are not home, Brother Yi, don't pass by." ”

"Leave it at that. Yi Fan saluted again.

Then, he whistled, and Akita Hyun immediately jumped out of the carriage where Liu Xiangxiang was.

It jumped onto Yi Fan's shoulder, keeping its eyes on the carriage, looking very reluctant.

"Xiao Xuan, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed. Yi Fan patted Akita Xuan's head.

Akita Hyun hung his neck and looked very depressed.

Yi Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, leave it alone for the time being, and give it a few bones, maybe it will be better.

...

Qingzhou can be roughly divided into thirteen regions.

The area of each district is roughly equivalent to five Wuyang counties.

Qingyang District is located in the center of Qingzhou, with the largest area, and other districts are expanding around this district.

Qingyang District was the political center, and the pivotal organs of the dynasty were located here, ruling over other prefectures and districts.

The patrol house where Yi Fan is going is naturally also in Qingyang District, but now it should be called the patrol helm.

When I entered the city, it was already dark, and the sun was setting, and it was estimated that it would be completely dark in more than half an hour.

Yi Fan rode on the little donkey and hurried towards Qingyang District, but it is conceivable that being late is inevitable, maybe this is fate.

The streets in Qingzhou City are spacious, allowing four horse-drawn carriages to travel at the same time, and the streets are filled with various shops.

In front of each shop, there are Xiao Er or shopkeepers shouting loudly and selling, and the fireworks in the world are extremely prosperous.

As night approaches, the stalls of the night market begin to open, and the smell of food tugs at the taste buds, whether it is spicy or sweet, all kinds of flavors are entangled, this is the taste of the night market.

Between the alleys, children gather to watch shadow puppet plays, a big play only needs three copper plates, those mythical stories, three heroes and five righteousness, depicting their reverie of the rivers and lakes.

The bustling city does not diminish with the fall of night, on the contrary, the city at night will have different colors.

However, when entering the boundary of Qingyang District, the fireworks instantly dispersed a lot, replaced by a sense of majesty.

After all, this is the political center of Qingzhou, and most of the people who live here are the homes of officials and ministers, and they are heavily guarded.

On the wide streets, there are very few pedestrians, but there are many horse-drawn carriages, but there are guards in front and behind, so people dare not approach.

Yi Fan avoided them, took the map, and looked for it as he looked.

"Patrol room, patrol room. ”

"Oh, I found it!"

"Pippi Donkey, let's go. ”

Rise~

The donkey looked a little physically exhausted, after all, it hadn't rested for a long time, and in the end, Louis Fan also allowed it to run slowly.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at our destination.

Yi Fan led the donkey to a low bush, which also made it easier for it to feed on the spot.

Then, Yi Fan came to the helmsman of the patrol.

Qingzhou's patrol helm is independent of the government and is an independent department, which is responsible for various cases in the state, as well as protecting the safety of residents, and can even call in state soldiers in times of crisis.

It can be said that he has real power.

The rank of the head catcher is the same as that of the county order, and the status of the chief catcher is higher.

At the same time, the patrol helm of the state capital has no rest days, and there are people on duty around the clock.

The catch speed in the patrol rudder is divided into two groups.

One group is responsible for the daytime and the other at night.

The two groups were exchanged once a month, and the group in charge of the evenings received more wages.

The door of the patrol room was always open, so Yi Fan swaggered in.

Soon, a catcher came over.

Before the other party could speak, Yi Fan took the initiative to introduce himself.

"My lord, my name is Yi Fan, I am from Wuyang County, and I am a fast catcher in the county. ”

At the same time, Akita Xuan, who was at Yi Fan's feet, also shouted a few times, and seemed to be introducing himself.

Na Yu glanced at Akita Xuan, and then focused his gaze on Yi Fan.

He muttered in his mouth: "Yi Fan, this name is a little familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it." ”

Hearing this, Yi Fan immediately said: "My lord, a few days ago, the county commander introduced me here, and I just arrived here, so I came here to take up my post. ”

As soon as he said this, he immediately remembered.

"Oh, it turns out that you are the newcomer, and I mentioned it a few days ago, and I said why is it so familiar.

You look pretty young!"

Yi Fan smiled: "In the next year, I am sixteen, and I have just become an adult. ”

"Being able to get a referral from the prefectural ordinance at such a young age is promising, so let's do it well."

Yi Fan smiled humbly: "Naturally, naturally, when the time comes, you will have to rely on the help of your predecessors." ”

"Harm, we are colleagues now, so we will naturally help each other.

My name is Liang Qiu, ten years older than you, you can call me Brother Liang, and I will call you Xiaofan.

If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask me. ”

Yi Fan bowed and saluted: "Then thank Brother Liang first." ”

Liang Qiu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Fan is polite." By the way, the head catcher is not there at night, and if you want to take up your job, you will have to wait until tomorrow. ”

Yi Fan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll get familiar with my face first, so don't count me being late today." ”

"Of course, I don't care, but I have to come on time tomorrow, so it's nothing, so I'll go back to work first." After speaking, Liang Qiu was about to turn around.

"Ah, wait. Yi Fan suddenly stopped.

"Brother Yi, what's wrong?"

"Well, when I was passing through Qingniu Town on my way today, I heard that there was a tragedy in the town.

I don't know if the murderer Cao Mo has been dealt with. Yi Fan asked in a low voice.

Liang Qiu replied without thinking: "Cao Bai should have been executed immediately, but the chief arrester said that there were still some doubts about this matter, and he would have to wait until he was clarified before making a decision, so he was temporarily imprisoned in the prison." ”

Wen Yan,

Yi Fan touched his chin quietly, it seemed that his inference was indeed correct, and there were indeed doubts in this case.

Then, Yi Fan said goodbye to Jiangqiu, led the donkey, took Akita Xuan, and found an inn to rest for the night.

...

The next day, Yi Fan waited in front of the helm early.

Liang Qiu belonged to the night team this month, and when he went back to rest after taking over, he saw Yi Fan at the door.

Yi Fan also saw him.

"Brother Liang!"

"Xiao Fan!"

Liang Qiu said: "I must be waiting for the chief catcher so early!"

Yi Fan nodded.

"Actually, I forgot to tell you yesterday.

Our chief catcher comes early every day, and since you're here now, I'll take you straight to her. "Liangqiu Road.

Yi Fan bowed down and thanked him: "That's really troublesome Brother Liang." ”

Liang Qiu smiled, and then led Yi Fan inside.

There are a total of five buildings in the patrol rudder.

Standing in the center is a majestic attic that houses the archives of the past years.

The office of the general rudder is located on the left side of the attic.

Liang Qiu brought Yi Fan to the chief capture room, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Xiao Fan, the chief catcher is inside."

Nothing else, so I'll go back and rest. ”

Yi Fan nodded and bowed again to express his gratitude.

After Brother Liang left, Yi Fan tidied up his clothes, and when he got up this morning, he cleaned himself up, even if he didn't look handsome and chic, he could be called full of energy.

He didn't take Akita with him today.

I am tired of being with a dog all day long, and it is inevitable that I will be talked about behind my back.

Later, he knocked on the door: "Master Hunting, Yi Fan from Wuyang County is here, and I am here to report." ”

"Come in!" soon came from inside the room.

But this voice is not a male masculine voice, although it is heroic, it is indeed a female voice.

Yi Fan was surprised, and said secretly: "Could it be that the chief catcher in Qingzhou is a woman?"
