Wannian County Ya is in Xuanyangfang, it takes a long way to walk, there is no hidden worry about the punishment of the cane, and the career has been stable, Li Siye's mood is finally relaxed, and he can freely observe the structure of the fang city planned by Chang'an City.

Bai Juyi said that "hundreds of thousands of homes are like a Go game, and 12 streets are like planting vegetables", the planning of Chang'an Chengfang City is the characteristics of the city, and it is estimated that it is also the originator of the modern community system.

Looking up through the vertical street, the palace walls of the Daming Palace on the Longshou Yuan are stacked on top of each other, and the green glazed tiles on the palace are scattered up and down like fish scales. He didn't know what year he was in the Xuanzong Dynasty, but seeing his face so green, it should be the Kaiyuan period when it should be prosperous, right?

Li Siye took the initiative to poke his head over and asked, "What year is Kaiyuan now?" ”

Zhang Xiaojing turned his head slightly and glanced at him with a strange expression, which made Li Siye very uneasy, but fortunately he gave the answer directly: "Twenty-four years of Kaiyuan." ”

Zhang Xiaojing continued: "At this time last year, I was still on an errand in the Fengsui Fort of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but now I am a small bad handsome in Chang'an City. ”

Li Siye looked at him carefully, this person was contaminated with too much bloody aura, and it was incompatible with the prosperity of this Chang'an City, maybe it was the brand carved on him by the Western Regions, or the scars on his face hidden a lot of pain, in short, this should be a very complicated person.

Wannian County Party has a lobby facing the street, next to the lobby is the front door, and there are three or four courtyards after entering, which can accommodate small officials with different positions to work in it. The county lieutenant was in charge of two inter-courtyards, one for housing and one for interrogation and temporary detention of prisoners.

Li Siye and the bad guys stayed outside the courtyard, and Zhang Xiaojing went in person to pass the ceremony.

He stood bored in place, and simply admired the architectural layout of the county party. Both the hall and the pavilion are square and dignified, without the slightest slenderness, which is probably the characteristic of Tang-style architecture. Even the relief carving of the pig on the door wall is plump and majestic, not carved, in vain, not seeking its appearance.

Zhang Xiaojing quickly walked out and beckoned to Li Siye: "Follow me to see County Lieutenant Zhang." ”

He left his sister at the gate of the courtyard for everyone to take care of, and followed Zhang Xiaojing into the courtyard. I saw a man wearing a cyan patterned round-necked robe standing on the corridor of the main hall, his head wrapped in black gauze, his eyes were indifferent, and his chin had a shallow beard, this was Zhang Hong, the governor of Chang'an County.

Zhang Xiaojing led Li Siye to step forward and bowed: "County Lieutenant Zhang, it was this Li Siye who took the righteous action and caught the habitual offender Chang Hengsheng for us. ”

Li Siye also followed Zhang Xiaojing's example, crossed his hands, stretched out the thumb of his right hand on his chest and said, "Li Siye, a native of Gaoling, see Zhang County Lieutenant." ”

"Huh? Was it this strong man who caught Chang Hengsheng? Reward! Later, I will go to Zhao Zhubo to receive the bounty bonus. ”

Zhang Hong saw that Li Siye was tall and strong, and nodded approvingly, this person has a straight face, extraordinary instruments, and has no bad deeds.

"Yes, go and report your name to Master Zhao, and follow Zhang Xiaojing in the future."

County Lieutenant Zhang just gave an order, even if it was to give him a job. After the two of them retreated, they went to Zhao to register the color.

Although the cross-courtyard where Zhao Zhubo is located is not as wide as the county lieutenant, it looks very exquisite, Zhang Xiaojing and Li Siye stood at the gate of the courtyard with crossed hands and reported loudly: "Zhao Zhubo, Zhang Xiaojing brought righteous people to receive the bounty." ”

No one made a sound inside for a long time, and the two of them could only stand outside and wait, and it seemed that this master was much bigger than the county lieutenant, and it was. The chief Bo is in charge of the county's money and grain, and the personnel appointment is registered, which is equivalent to the director of the Finance Bureau and the Personnel Bureau, and he is half a grade higher than the county lieutenant in terms of rank, and his scope of authority is much larger. If it is in a local prefecture or county, the county lieutenant is also responsible for the armed militia of a county in addition to anti-theft, but in Wannian County in Chang'an City, the Wannian county lieutenant is only left with the responsibility of catching thieves and maintaining law and order.

After waiting for a while, a small official holding a thick document walked out of it, and when he passed by them, he turned his head and said, "Lord Zhao asked you to go in." ”

Zhang Xiaojing whispered in Li Siye's ear: "After you go in later, no matter how much money Zhao Zhubo takes out, you can only take half of it, and the errand is more important than the reward." ”

Li Siye nodded, which meant that he could understand it, and he didn't need to ask why. Don't look at the gap of more than a thousand years, but there is no generation gap between him and the ancients in this kind of thing, and Qian Silk is a bridge to strengthen communication at any time.

The two walked into the main office area, where three walls were filled with wooden shelves and cabinets, on which various silk and paper books were displayed. Only in the open space in the center of the desk table, Zhao Zhubo sat cross-legged on the futon, bowed his head and held the seal pen to copy the official documents on the paper.

Zhao Zhubo put down his pen and rubbed his sore wrist before raising his head and asking, "Zhang Xiaojing, bring someone to receive the bounty?" Whose bounty is it? ”

"The Lord of Enlightenment is a reward for Chang Hengsheng."

"Oh," Zhao Zhubo stood up and walked to the scroll, then flipped through the scroll and said, "Wait a minute, I'll check the bounty book, well, I found it." ”

He sat back in front of the desk with the volume, turned a few pages to look for it, and then said loudly: "Chang Hengsheng, offer a reward of 1,600 yuan." Then he continued to write below: "The twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan was ......"

He raised his head and glanced at Li Siye coldly and asked, "Where are you from, and what is your surname?" ”

"Oh, my name is Li Siye, a native of Gaoling, Jingzhao Mansion."

Zhao Zhubo continued to write: "Jingzhao Gaoling righteous Li Siye has been arrested, and the reward has been issued. ”

"Someone!"

A small official immediately ran to the next room, and Zhao Zhubo untied the key from his waist, handed it to the small official along with the scroll, and said, "Go to the county party treasury to get 1,600 yuan, and reward the thief." ”

The little official sighed and went to the treasury to withdraw the money. Zhang Xiaojing took advantage of this opportunity to propose the registration of Li Siye as a bad person. This Zhao Zhubo couldn't complain a few words: "The number of non-staff officials in Wannian County has long exceeded the quota, and more than 160 people are more than 100 mouths, how much do you have to spend every quarter!" Zhang Hong only knows to make trouble for me, and expand the staff for nepotism. All of them don't work and eat dry! ”

Lord Bo raised his head slightly: "Oh, I'm not talking about you, don't misunderstand too much. ”

Complaining is complaining, Zhao Zhubo still wrote Li Siye's name on the county party personnel roster, took off the seal letter bag from his waist, and stamped his seal.

The little official returned with a tray containing copper coins, and sixteen copper coins were placed on the tray, stacked layer upon layer, each of which was a hundred coins, and he quickly retreated on the desk in front of Zhao Zhubo.

Zhao Zhubo didn't look at the money, lowered his head and continued to transcribe the dossier, and said indifferently: "Okay, take your reward money." ”

Li Siye obeyed Zhang Xiaojing's instructions, reached out and took out only eight of them, and poured them into the cuffs. Zhao Zhubo seemed to bow his head to write, but the afterglow of his eyes was on the tray, and the corners of his mouth were slightly imperceptible.

Li Siye surrendered and retired: "Thank you Zhao for the reward, and your subordinates will retire." ”

Lord Zhao Bo didn't raise his head, but he opened his mouth and answered: "This is not my reward for you, this is the reward given to you by the imperial court, Wannian County is a reward for you, don't get confused." ”

Zhang Xiaojing and Li Siye turned around and saluted, and then exited the room and walked out of the courtyard.

It wasn't until after the two of them left that Zhao Zhubo raised his head and glanced at the coins in the tray, and laughed: "It's quite a person who understands the rules." ”

Zhang Xiaojing glanced back outside the courtyard gate, and said with emotion in the face of Li Siye: "This is also a little experience I got after I hit my head and bleed. ”

As he walked, he put his hands in his sleeves and said: "We, the low-level officials, can be regarded as reaching half of the officialdom, and we don't need to understand the truth, but we must know it." Whether it is a reward or an allowance issued above, half of it is not your own, don't wait for the above to rebate, take the initiative to dedicate it, it is much more convenient for us to do things in the yamen. ”

Li Siye nodded, this is also part of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan.
