Although the cell boss walked out of his room, the chamber, he stopped for a moment as he passed the temple of the Prison God. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info walked into the temple and prayed incense to the all-powerful god of hell.

Even if the cell boss deliberately kept the prayer voice low in the prison god temple this week, it seemed that he only wanted to tell the gods about his begging, and did not want to be known by other mortals, but as far as the words that the cell leader Zhou wanted to say to the prison god, everyone didn't have to listen to it, and they could guess with their toes directly, except for asking the prison god to bless him and bless him to get through this difficult time safely, there was nothing to beg for.

After coming out of the Prison God Temple and passing through the Tiger Head Gate, the cell head went straight north this week. Although this prison is also within the scope of the county government, the entire Chongyi county government still follows the traditional etiquette system of the Heath Empire of "sitting in the north and facing south, leaving the text and the right martial arts, sleeping in the front and back, and the prison cell in the south", so this county government prison is a little past the south of the county government hall.

Seeing this situation, the cell boss hurriedly ran out this week, it should be to find the arrester who arrested Hu Qiong to discuss countermeasures.

I didn't go far from the prison, and this week the cell boss came to the gate of the Chongyi County Ya. At this time, it was already the second watch, and the three gates of the county government were closed.

After Zhou Jiaotou walked up the steps of the county office, he came to the east gate where two lanterns were hung on the lintel, grabbed the knocker on the door with his hand and knocked sharply.

"Old Lu, Old Lu!"

While pulling the knocker, Zhou Cell's mouth was shouting loudly. In this silent night, in front of the unmanned county office, the voice of Zhou Celltou came far away.

"It's coming, it's coming. Why are you in such a hurry? ”

It took a long time for an impatient voice to come from inside the door.

"Squeak!"

Immediately afterwards, a small crack opened in the door, and a pair of eyes in the crack were looking out through the crack, and only after seeing clearly that it was the head of the prison standing outside the door did he open the door.

"I said, Boss Zhou, it's so late, there's something big that you need to run over in a hurry, can't you wait until tomorrow to talk about it? Besides, the county master, you didn't live in the yamen tonight, it's useless for you to come here, let's come back tomorrow." ”

Although this door was opened, he did not directly let Zhou Jiaotou go in after opening it, but stood in the middle of the door and told him impatiently that the county master was not at home, and he would talk about it tomorrow if there was anything, and after saying that, he wanted to close the door and go back to sleep.

To tell the truth, although the number of times the cell head has entered and exited this county office this week is not small, every time he enters and exits, he mostly takes the west gate, and the number of times he enters and exits from the east gate is really not much.

The gate on the west side, called the Gate, is usually closed and is only opened when the prisoners are arraigned and the prisoners are escorted to be executed. And when this west gate is opened, the head of Zhou's cell will inevitably appear, standing next to the prisoner, escorting the prisoner. So this is also the reason why Menzi doesn't like him a little bit, and thinks he is unlucky.

And the middle door in the middle, which is hung with a plaque of Chongyi County and is closed all year round, Zhou Prison has never had a chance to enter and exit from that door once in his life.

The middle door is called the Yimen, which is only opened when the new county magistrate takes office, or when welcoming guests or major celebrations.

Don't listen to Zhou Cell Boss usually claiming to be Zhou Qi's descendant and queen of a famous family, on weekdays, people look like dogs, but speaking of which, this cell boss is not even an official, just an errand soldier. It is similar to the treatment of advocating excellent slaves and maids, that is, untouchables who cannot marry a woman from a good family, cannot even participate in the imperial examination, and cannot be an official donor.

Although this family is a slut like Zhou Prison Boss, there is not only a distinction between the noble and the low, but also a high and low class. Although this cell head and the porter are both miscellaneous servants, and they both rely on collecting red envelopes as their main source of income, but this one collects red envelopes from the county magistrate, most of them are squires and tyrants, and the one that receives red envelopes from the families of prisoners only begs that the prisoners will not encounter those strange diseases that suddenly die in prison, which can be immediately distinguished, so in the eyes of Menzi, there is only contempt for Zhou Cell.

"No, no. I'm not here to look for the big man. I'm here to see if Zhong Bantou is in the yamen?"

Holding his hand against the door that was about to be closed, Zhou Cell Boss hurriedly told the porter his intentions.

"Zhong Bantou, yes, but a few of them are busy. ”

Hearing that he was coming to find Zhong Bantou, the porter's face showed a strange expression, and he told Zhou Jiaotou a little hesitantly that Zhong Bantou was indeed still in the yamen.

"It's good to be here, then the head of the Zhong squad should be in the soap room, right? I'll go in and find him. ”

Hearing that Zhong Bantou was still busy working in this yamen, Zhou Jiaotou hurriedly thought about getting past the side of the door and went directly to the yasoap room to discuss with Zhong Bantou.

There are two bungalows at the back of the lobby of the Chongyi County Ya, which is the Yasoap Room, which is usually used for those three classes of officials to rest here, which is also the dormitory of the officials as the saying goes.

Therefore, this week, the cell boss heard that Zhong Bantou was still in the county office, and his first reaction was that Zhong Bantou should still be waiting in the soap room at this time to provide him with the signed and drawn mouth.

"Although the head of this Zhong squad is still in the yamen, who told you that he will be in the yamen soap room, and a few of them are busy in the lobby. ”

Seeing the cell boss passing by him, the porter did not stretch out his hand to stop him, but only spoke. As soon as these words came out, Zhou Cell's hurried footsteps stopped.

"Old Lu, didn't you just say that the old parents were not in the yamen? Even if the old lady is ascending to the hall, then there is no need for Zhong Bantou, the fast class leader, to stand inside, isn't there still a standing class? Could it be that Zhong Bantou and they have captured some Jiangyang thief, and they are interrogating in the lobby at the moment?"

Hearing the porter say that the bell team leader was busy in the lobby, Zhou Cell, who was in a hurry to enter, quickly stopped his steps when he heard the words.

The officials of Chongyi County are divided into: station, fast, and strong, each class has a leader, that is, the head of the team, and the work responsibilities of each class are completely different, which also requires different quality of personnel.

As the name suggests, their main job responsibility is to stand all day long, to stand up with momentum, and to stand majestic.

Generally speaking, this station is mainly responsible for opening the way when the county lord travels, and he must stand on both sides of the lobby when the lord ascends to the hall to increase the confidence of the county lord. Even in the lobby, if you encounter a person who is not pleasing to the eyes of the county magistrate, you will be responsible for carrying out torture and flogging punishment.

Therefore, the requirements for the employment of this station class must first be dignified, preferably with a national face, and be able not to be angry and self-assured. If they all look crooked and cracked, then standing in the hall is really detrimental to the majesty of the court.

In addition, this station class must also have a good voice, and a slightly magnetic baritone is the best, as for this mezzo-soprano, it is still exempt. Otherwise, this mighty shout would not only not feel the solemn atmosphere, but would make people think that they were in the palace.

Regarding the skills in the hand, then this station will play with the water and fire stick in the hand, and the county master will tokenize it, and the cane punishment must be in accordance with the county master's mind.

And this fast shift is called the fast shift of the arrest class, that is, it is responsible for summoning defendants and witnesses, detecting criminals, and searching for evidence. And the bell shift head is the head of the fast shift.

For the employment requirements of fast classes, the requirements for appearance are not so strict, as long as you can basically be worthy of your parents.

But for the fast arrest, there are still certain requirements, after all, this is to arrest criminals, if you are a low-handed person in the whole fast shift, and someone dies in the line of duty all day long, it is a serious dereliction of duty.

For the Zhuang class, in fact, the cell boss this week is a member of the Zhuang class, and the main responsibility of the Zhuang class is to guard the door and maintain law and order. The doors in this refer to the yamen, city gates, and prison gates, as long as the doors of the public house are the responsibility of the Zhuang class, and even those who are in charge of the street and see others occupying the road and operating also belong to the Zhuang class.

As for the entry requirements of the Zhuang class, it is simple, and the requirements must be fierce and vicious, and they must be ruthless enough, of course, this ruthlessness is ruthless enough for many people.

Speaking of which, Zhou Cellhead and the Zhong Bantou are not in the same system, and it is right to say in front of the porter that he is looking for the Zhong Bantou, but the few words he said at the prison gate are a big taboo.

It is precisely because this Zhong Bantou does not need to appear when he is generally promoted to interrogate civil disputes, and at this time, he heard the porter say that Zhong Bantou was busy in the hall, thinking that there was a major criminal case, so he had to avoid suspicion.

"Yes, the old parents are indeed not in the yamen. The head of this Zhong team just didn't know where to catch a little suckling pig and came back. I don't know if it's a monkey or a pig, but I didn't watch it this time, but the pig ran out and hid in the lobby. This good guy, the whole fast shift plus the station shift, nearly fifty people tossed in this lobby for more than an hour, and they didn't catch the little suckling pig. The current pig is making a mess of the lobby of our Chongyi County Ya. It can be said that this little suckling pig actually compared our three classes of officials in Chongyi County, and I don't know how they catch thieves in the Zhong class.

This is also fortunate that our county master went to Yanyulou tonight to observe the people's feelings, otherwise they would have to be beaten by Zhong Bantou. ”

When he said that dozens of people on the station and fast shifts in the county government couldn't even catch a little pig, the porter's words clearly felt a sense of schadenfreude.

"Thank God, this little pig has not been roasted and eaten by Zhong Bantou and them, it seems that this big family is extraordinary, even this little pig is smarter than average. ”

Hearing that the pig ingots were not alive and had not been roasted, the heart of the cell boss this week was relieved. In any case, this little pig is a pig in the family of the current dynasty Yipin. In Zhou Cell's mind, not to mention a pig in the family of the official department, even a dog in the family of the prince of Qipin County is much more valuable than his own life. After all, a dog in the county lord's house is still enshrined with delicious food and drink every day, it just wants to see the scene when the county lord Dunlun was in town, so it can also stand there blatantly and watch, and if it is himself, as long as he shows such a little thought, he will be killed by the county lord.

"Why? Zhou Cell Boss knows the origin of this pig?"

Seeing that Zhou Prison Boss was visibly relieved after hearing that the pig was safe and sound, and at the same time muttering something in a low voice, this Lu Menfang not only asked curiously.

"Where, how could I have anything to do with this pig. As I just said, our county magistrate has been really conscientious since he took office, and he has gone out every night to observe the people's feelings. In less than two years of taking office, he has sent warmth to all the women who have lost their footings in our county, which is simply a hard work. ”

Regarding this kind of high-end inside information that this pig is the official Shangshu's family, of course, Zhou Prison Boss can't easily leak it, so he has to use his boss to make jokes, after all, the county master's habits are well known.

"Old Zhou, you. If you suffer a loss in this life, you will suffer in this mouth. ”

Hearing that the head of the cell Zhou dared to make a joke about the county master, he thought that he was the leader of Lu Menfang, so he could only make a haha, and kindly criticized the head of the cell next week.

"Old Lu, I'm still in a bit of a hurry to find the head of the Zhong team, let's talk later. ”

At this time, the head of Zhou Prison was already in a hurry, and he didn't care about chatting with the porter anymore, so he directly said goodbye and walked into the yamen.

Entering through the human gate, I walked a little west, and walked to the back of the instrument gate. Directly behind the Yimen is a corridor, through which you will arrive at the lobby of the Chongyi County Ya.

On the road, there is a stone pavilion, and the stone pavilion is engraved with six big characters of "Gongshengming" and "Lian Shengwei". On the west side of the corridor are the grain department, household room, money department, etc., while on the east side are the officials' room, the ceremonial room, the soldier's room, the torture room, the workshop room, etc.

After passing through the corridor, you will come to the lobby. The hall of Chongyi County is a single-eaves hard mountain style building, and on both sides of the hall are divided into battles, knives, guns, swords, halberds, torture instruments, etc., which is the place where the county magistrate hears major cases and holds major ceremonies. Above the lobby, there are three plaques of "Mirror Hanging", "Law Enforcement Like a Mountain", "Self-denial and Dedication", and the screen in the middle of the lobby is painted with "Landscape and Rising Sun", the mountain is right, the water is clear, the sun is bright, and it means that it is honest and honest.

When Zhou Cell felt the entrance of the lobby, he saw that the lobby was in a mess, and the avoidance and quiet signs that had been erected on both sides of the hall fell to the ground horizontally, and the pen holders and signature holders that were originally neatly placed on the public case had long since deviated from their original positions.

In this hall, about twenty or so men had gathered at this time, led by the head of the Zhong team, all holding water and fire sticks in a semicircle, all of them were driving away something with the sticks in their hands.

Looking up at the stick, Zhou saw that just above the lobby, on the hanging mirror plaque, stood a white piglet, which looked like it had not yet been weaned.

Zhou Prison Boss visually measured the height between the plaque and the ground, and if he didn't use a ladder or other tools, he wouldn't be able to climb on it, and he didn't know how such a small pig could run to it.
