After going through some necessary procedures, Li Ang joined the Arrest Hall in the afternoon, which was in Xicheng, a gathering area for nobles and merchants.

There are trees on both sides of the street, and the sidewalks are wide, and the environment is quite good as the most taxed neighborhood in Sinai.

He came to the Investigation Section with his letter of appointment, which was the department to which he was assigned.

"Let's stop what we're doing, and I'd like to introduce you to the newcomer, Leon Fakus, and welcome. Barnard Percy, the chief of the investigation section, led Leon to a large office and said.

"Papapa!

“......”

A dozen people in the room stood up and applauded.

"My name is Leon Fakus, and thank you for your welcome. Leon said.

"My name is Vina Rodney. A woman in a brown sweater said.

"Hello Milne Keith. A man in a trench coat said.

"Marz Fergus. ”

“......”

Leon got acquainted with each other, and he assigned a table, and when Barnard left, he sat down.

These colleagues are not badly dressed, but his clothes are borrowed, and they can't always be worn.

Li Ang thought about it, so he had to go to the section chief.

"Tuk tuk!" Leon knocked on the door of Section Chief Barnard's office.

"Come in!"

Li Ang pushed the door and walked in and said, "Section Chief, I have something to ask you." ”

Barnard was slightly surprised and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Ang said: "Section chief, you see that my clothes don't fit very well, this is borrowed from my landlord, can you advance a month's salary and I will buy a set of formal clothes." ”

Barnard carefully examined Leon's clothes, which did not fit.

"No problem, we have two sets of formal clothes in summer and autumn, so let's send them to you in advance, and your monthly salary is 3 silver coins and will also be sent to you together. ”

Li Ang said, "Thank you so much, section chief!"

Barnard asked, "It's okay, where do you live?"

Leon replied, "I live in the South City!"

"We go to work at half past seven in the morning and leave at four in the afternoon, and if we don't have anything to do, we can leave at half past three," Barnard said. But be careful not to be late in the morning. ”

Li Ang said: "No problem, section chief, I want to go to Xicheng to rent a house in the afternoon, and work is closer." ”

After he asked for leave, he wanted to go to the office to say hello to his colleagues, but when he walked to the office, he saw that there were few people, and he left.

Walked out of the arrest hall and saw the hands of the big clock on the top of the third floor to three o'clock, indeed as the section chief said, nothing to do at half past three can go, but some people are a little earlier.

Time was tight in the afternoon, and he planned to move into Xicheng tomorrow.

Just across the street came a carriage, which was available for hire.

He beckoned, the carriage stopped, and the coachman asked, "Where is the gentleman?"

"Go to Nancheng and collect more money?" asked Leon.

"Go to Nancheng and ask for 7 copper coins. The coachman said.

"I'm going to Nancheng to get some things, and then come back, how much will it cost?" asked Leon.

"Sir, if it is a round trip, I will charge you 12 copper coins. The coachman said.

"Yes!" said Leon and got into the carriage.

The coachman pulled the brake and gave the horse a gentle whip on the buttocks, and the carriage started.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at Leon's rental house, in front of Mr. Tori's villa.

Leon got out of the carriage and said, "Wait for me in a moment, I'll get something." ”

The coachman said, "Yes, sir, please hurry up as soon as possible." ”

"No problem, I'll do it as soon as possible. ”

Leon said and went into the courtyard and walked down the steps, and when he returned to the house, he took off his clothes and trousers, folded them neatly and put them on the bed, and changed his shoes.

Put on his formal clothes and leather shoes

He took the clothes and shoes and found Aunt Begi and said, "Mrs. Begi, the clothes and shoes are back to you." ”

"Don't you need to?" said Aunt Begie.

"No, I also bought a formal suit, by the way, this is the key, I won't be renting here next month. Leon said with a smile.

Aunt Becky was a little surprised, and said, "What's the matter? Isn't my rent here cheap enough?"

Li Ang said, "No, I'm moving to Xicheng, how about it? ”

Aunt Becky said, "Come and see, Haige's people have warned those gangsters that they won't be harassing my family's jewelry store. ”

Leon said, "That's good, I still have to leave beforehand." ”

Aunt Becky said, "Come here when you have time, and make this your home." ”

"Good!"

Leon went back to the basement and cleaned up the pots and bowls, put the bowls and spoons in the pots, and put the flour bags on the pots as well.

The quilt and pillow, as well as his clothes and shoes, were rolled together, tied with rope and clamped under his waist, and carried the pot up the steps.

"Come back often!" said Aunt Beji.

"Hmm!" Leon said.

Aunt Beji was just polite, he wouldn't take it seriously.

Once in the carriage, the carriage was activated.

"Sir, where do you want to go in the West Side?" asked the coachman.

"Let's go to the house trading place in the West Side. Leon said.

"Yes sir!" the coachman whipped the horse's buttocks a few times, and the carriage went faster.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the housing trading center, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, but the housing trading center had not yet closed.

"Sir, a total of 12 copper coins. The coachman said to Leon with a smile.

"Okay, but I want to rent a house, can you pull me to see it?" said Leon.

"This ......," the coachman hesitated.

"15 copper coins, whether I rent the house there or not, I'll give you 15 copper coins. Leon said.

"Okay, sir, I'll wait for you in a moment. The coachman said.

"You park the carriage, and let's go in together. Leon said and took him by the arm and entered the housing trading center.

He was not very worried about the coachman, what if he took his belongings away.

"Sir, are you going to rent or buy a house? We're almost off work, or you might come back tomorrow." Leon and the coachman, who were watching by a man, walked in and said.

"No, just today, I'm going to rent a house, as long as the house is suitable, it's okay to be more expensive, but it can't be too expensive. Leon said.

"Rest assured, our housing exchange center is a long-term business and will not deceive customers. The man said that it seemed that the customer should be able to rent the room in the afternoon.

"Sir, tell me about your requirements for the house, and I will provide you with the house you need. The man said.

"First of all, it has to be sunny all day, well ventilated, with gas and running water. Leon said.

"We have four houses here that meet your requirements, one is 40 copper coins a month, on the edge of the west and south cities, and one is ......," the man said.

Li Ang raised his hand and said, "Don't be embarrassed, interrupt, I'm going to get close to the house of the arrest hall, and don't talk about the rest." ”

"You work in the Arrest Hall?" the man asked.

"Yes, just got to work today. Leon said.

"So, sir, you are remarkable. When the man heard this, he spoke with obvious enthusiasm.

In the end, Li Ang chose a house with 1 silver coin per month, which originally cost 120 copper coins, but for the sake of Li Ang's work in the Arrest Department, the housing trading center did not have the 20 copper coins per month that belonged to them.

Originally, Li Ang was not asked for a deposit, but only paid three months' rent, and the three silver coins were gone.

But the house is really good, Li Ang got off the carriage and fell in love, a bungalow, the yard is relatively large, there is a deserted vegetable field in the back, you can grow some vegetables, there is a garden in front, you can plant some flowers and plants to entertain guests.
