Chapter 65

Song Nan and Li Daniu stood in the courtyard of the 700th household and looked around, the surroundings were silent, not at all as noisy as in the Ulzhou military camp, everything seemed to be veiled, with a hint of mystery.

A scribe who was as thin as dry wood stood aside and bowed his waist and said, "Song Baihu, how about the villain taking you to your public house?" Knowing that Song Baihu was coming to work today, Lao Qin and I cleaned the house several times, and wiped the tables and chairs several times. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "There are two Laos, dare to ask the names of the two Gao." ”

The thin scribe hurriedly said: "The villain Sun San, that one is Qin Si, they are all the scribes under you, who are responsible for the delivery, writing, posting and some things of official documents on weekdays, of course, serving Song Baihu to drink tea, pour water, run errands and deliver letters is also my two of you at your service." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "It turned out to be Third Brother Sun and Fourth Brother Qin, so I will have to trouble the two of them in the future." Sun San and Qin Si hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Hey, don't call us that, we can't afford it." ”

Song Nan smiled, walked to the steps of the main house, two scribes hurriedly followed around, surrounded by Song Nan into the main house, the main house is quite spacious, after the two scribes cleaned hard, it looks neat and tidy, the northernmost incense case, there is a sitting statue of Maitreya Buddha on it, Maitreya Buddha is offered in the brocade guard, it seems to be very nondescript, there are seven or eight tables in the middle of the room, and there are some documents piled up with pen and ink and other things.

"Song Baihu, your public house is in the one on the right, please come with me." Sun San pointed to the east wing with a bamboo curtain on it.

Song Nan nodded, and followed the two into the east wing, there was a table and a chair in the east wing, and there were seven or eight large iron cabinets around, and there was a screen standing in the corner of the north wall, behind the screen was a small table and a few chairs, and there were teapots, teacups and other things on the small table.

Song Nan understands this pattern, and his own office in later generations is also like this, a boss's desk and chairs, plus several large cabinets to store books, and the small room on the side is used to chat with guests privately, drink tea and talk about things, but the iron cabinet here is probably not a collection of books, but for confidential documents.

Song Nan sat on the chair and tried the feeling, as soon as his buttocks fell, he jumped up in pain, Sun San and Qin Si hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see a piece of sawdust on the big wooden chair at some point, it was this hard sawdust that stung Song Nan's noble buttocks, and the two of them blamed themselves repeatedly.

Song Nan smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "It seems that the position of this hundred households is not easy to sit on." ”

Because he didn't know anything about the rules in Jinyiwei, Song Nan invited Sun San and Qin Si to sit down, and asked about the situation of the Qianhu in Zhengnanfang while drinking tea, as well as the specific responsibilities of the 700th household where he was located.

Zhengnanfang Jinyiwei Thousand Households is one of the six thousand households in the capital to which Jinyiwei Yamen belongs, named Zhengnanfang Thousand Households, in fact, the seven large squares in the outer city of Beijing City were added during the Chenghua period of Zhengnan Fang, Zhengxi Fang, and Zhengdong Fang are all included in the jurisdiction of Zhengnanfang Thousand Households; From You'anmen in the west to Zuo'anmen in the east, from Yongdingmen in the south to Zhengyangmen in the north, the jurisdiction is huge, with a population of nearly 30,000 households and more than 200,000 people.

Zhengnanfang has been upgraded from 100 households to 1,000 households since the eighth year of Hongzhi, because of the continuous expansion of the outer city of the capital, the population continues to increase, and the fang market is becoming more and more prosperous, so it has to increase the number of people.

Zhengnanfang Thousand Households is not a standard configuration, there are only 700 households under its jurisdiction, except for the 700 households under the jurisdiction of Song Nan under the full quota of 100 people, the rest of each school is only about 80 people, and the entire Thousand Households Jinyi Guard Captain plus officials at all levels is only more than 600 people.

Some of these 100 households are responsible for listening to and recording the yamen under their jurisdiction, some are patrolling and detecting the name of 'fighting incidents', some are responsible for monitoring, and some are responsible for patrolling the safety of the jurisdiction.

Song Nan's main responsibility for the 700th household is to maintain law and order and patrol the jurisdiction, originally the security of the jurisdiction is the responsibility of the fifty percent of the soldiers and horses and the patrol of the city, but because there is a shortage of manpower, the imperial court can only order the Jinyi guard to participate in it.

For Jin Yiwei, such an errand is actually a matter of losing his identity, so all the hundred households are unwilling to do it, and the original hundred households of the 700th household applied for transfer to the Yamen of the Fusi of Nanzhen because of discrimination.

Of course, Sun San and Qin Si would not say these words to Song Nan, and Song Nan himself didn't feel that there was any shame in maintaining law and order in the jurisdiction, but he immediately realized that the jurisdiction of more than 200,000 residents, only his own 100 households maintained law and order, which was simply an impossible task, but he didn't know how many people there were in the Five Cities of Lu Dao, and as for the Imperial History of the City Patrol was just a mobile inspection official, it didn't play much role.

Faced with Song Nan's question, Sun San and Qin Si had no way to answer, so he only smiled and said: "The specific things are known to Song Baihu as soon as he gets started, but we are the only ones in charge of public security in the Thousand Households, and the other people have their own affairs, and Song Baihu's questions can be answered by Lord Qianhu." ”

Song Nan said in his heart: Are you stupid? As soon as I came, I chirped crookedly to ask this, Peng Qianhu still didn't know what to think of me behind my back, come on, take a step and look at it step by step.

A few people talked about it, but it was almost noon, there was a noisy sound outside, and some people laughed loudly and walked into the courtyard, Sun San and Qin Si hurriedly got up and said: "My lord, Zheng Zongqi and Han Zongqi have led the team back." ”

While speaking, there was a crackling noise in the main room, the sound of tables and chairs toppling over, and a loud voice shouted: "Sun Laosan, Qin Laosi, where did you two die?" Why don't you make a pot of tea for you? Lao Tzu is tired to death when he is outside, but you two dogs are comfortable. ”

Sun San and Qin Si hurriedly agreed and lifted the curtain and rushed out, helping to make tea and pour water while confessing.

Song Nan frowned, walked out, and heard the loud voice shouting again: "What are you two turtle grandsons doing hiding in the east wing?" Don't fucking hide and drink and eat meat, I'm going to see what you're doing. ”

Sun San hurriedly said: "Zheng Zongqi, don't, someone is inside." ”

"Someone? You two have a lot of skills, dare to bring outsiders to Jinyiwei, eat the leopard's guts, Lao Tzu look at who is so bold. ”

Zheng Zongqi lifted the bamboo curtain and drilled in, and when he saw Song Nan walking out, he was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, reached out and grabbed the scabbard on the table and shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to linger in the brocade guard. ”

Sun San hurriedly said: "Zheng Zongqi, that's the new Song Baihu. ”

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, Zheng Zongqi smiled and pointed at Song Nan and said, "He is a new hundred households?" This fucking hair is not even, it looks like a rabbit master, you and Qin Si are two perverts, it turns out that you are hiding inside to play this tune. ”

The crowd laughed even more, and the tables and chairs and benches fell to the ground.

Sun San and Qin Si were so frightened that their faces turned white, and they said in a loud voice: "Zheng Zongqi, don't talk nonsense, it's really a new hundred households." ”

Zheng Zongqi laughed endlessly, sat on a chair and asked a big man next to him: "Old Han, do you believe it?" ”

The big man shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." ”

Zheng Zongqi patted his thigh and said: "That's it, when did our Jinyi Wei Yamen change the garden, they are all so pink and tender, how can the brothers go out to work?" Ha lu haha. ”

Seeing that Song Nan was humiliated, Li Daniu stepped forward angrily and shouted: "Don't be rude, Song Baihu is here today, and you don't come forward to pay a visit." ”

Zheng Zongqi blinked and said: "Yo, there is another one, this one is not good, it is as black as a charcoal ball, I said Sun Laosan, the taste of the two of you is quite heavy." Ha lu haha. ”

The crowd laughed maniacally.

Song Nan looked at the unscrupulous ridicule of the dozen or so guys in front of him, there was no anger on his face, he only looked at them with a smile, and when they had laughed enough, he said lightly: "Have you laughed enough?" ”

Zheng Zongqi glanced at Han Zongqi and turned his head and said: "Boy, you are in a good mood today, so I will spare you, kowtow and apologize and get out, next time you dare to come to Jinyi Wei Yamen, Lao Tzu will strip your clothes and go to the street." ”

Song Nan stretched out his hand into his arms, took out the appointment document and threw it on the table, and said: "Zheng Zongqi can see clearly, I, Song Nan, was ordered by the Beizhen Fu Division to go from Ulzhou to serve as one hundred households in this firm, and I laughed after seeing it clearly." ”

Zheng Zongqi picked up the document suspiciously and read it quickly, and exclaimed: "You are really a newcomer?" ”

Song Nan said: "Who dares to fake the hundred households of Jinyiwei? How many heads are enough to chop? ”

Zheng Zongqi handed the document to Han Zongqi, Han Zongqi read it and quickly sat up from the chair, hugged his fists and saluted: "If it is really Song Baihu who has arrived,...... Our brothers have eyes and no beads, forgive sins, forgive sins. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, standing there one by one with their mouths open and stunned, Han Zongqi shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and see Song Baihu? ”

Everyone woke up like a dream, and they clasped their fists and saluted, their faces extremely embarrassed.

Zheng Zongqi stood still, Han Zongqi quietly pulled his shirt, Zheng Zongqi came to his senses, but he didn't have any sense of apology, only lightly hugged his fists and said: "Offended Song Baihu, but you can't blame us, when did we have sixteen or seventeen-year-old Baihu in Jinyiwei?" Which one is mixed into the position of 100 households, not a big beard, a lot of age? We can't be blamed for admitting our mistakes. ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Did I blame you?" Don't blame those who don't know, now that you all know me, don't admit your mistakes in the future. ”

Han Zongqi said: "No, no, how can I admit my mistake again in the future." ”

Zheng Zongqi said: "That's not accurate, Song Baihu is like a scholar, I don't dare to guarantee that I will go away again." ”

Song Nan was annoyed in his heart, and understood that this was a public provocation, although he didn't know what to do with him, Zheng Zongqi and himself just met and rejected people thousands of miles away, but he was a newcomer, and the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, so it was not appropriate to turn his face at this time.

"Okay, in order to deepen your impression of me, I'll have a treat at noon today, you talk about the ground, let's go."

Han Zongqi said with a smile: "Then how embarrassing, when Song Baihu arrives, our brother should take over the wind for you, and you can't let Song Baihu break the bank." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "In the future, they will all be their own brothers, what are you talking about?" Greet the brothers to gather, hurry up and not late. ”

Han Zongqi blinked and said: "Okay, since the adults are gracious, but we are disrespectful, our subordinates will call the Qi brothers." ”

Han Zongqi made a look, and the two brocade guards were about to go out to the courtyard to greet the captains in the side room, but they saw Zheng Zongqi slapping the table and said: "Whoever likes to go, Lao Tzu is not free, the people who go listen to Lao Tzu, go out in the afternoon to do things, if you smell a trace of wine in your mouth, don't blame Lao Tzu for doing things according to the rules." ”

After that, he grabbed the helmet and blade on the table and went out without looking back, and the room full of people froze there like clay sculptures and wood carvings, and no one dared to mention drinking.
