Passing the Chinese New Year's Eve, it has been four years since Qianyou.

New year, new atmosphere.

The Xie family's weather is also being updated, and since meeting the noble man 'Cao Ren', life is getting better and better.

this day.

It had just come out of the New Year, and the sky had not yet dawned.

Xie family outside the city.

Xie Changlin is wearing a cotton coat, half-old but not new, but he is clean and not bloated, and he looks very capable.

Mother Xie looked around the eldest child twice, patted and patted, sorted out Xie Changlin's clothes, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became: "My son is really spirited!" ”

"Big brother will be an official in the future!"

The second eldest Xie Yuanhua and the two younger sisters also got up early, and they all laughed out loud when they saw their eldest brother.

"It's just an ordinary people, what kind of official is it."

Xie Changlin grinned, and he was also very happy in his heart.

There are six members of his family—

Daddy hurt his waist and couldn't do heavy work.

The old lady manages two acres of thin land by herself, and it is difficult to maintain the family.

The second brother, Xie Yuanhua, has just turned 14 years old.

The two younger sisters, one is nine years old and the other is seven, and they can't help much.

The family's expenses mainly rely on Xie Changlin to carry the work on the dock, not to mention the hardship and tiredness, and the day is still precarious.

Life goes by.

But this is last year, and it's already the old calendar.

Since Cao Ren came to the door in the middle of last year, the situation has finally improved.

Father and Mother Xie and the second Xie Yuanhua, together with the second Xie Yuanhua, helped Cao Ren send fresh fish to the two restaurants in the morning and evening, a trip of 100 catties, which was very easy, and even Xie Yuanhua could do it alone.

There is still some distance from the city, so I have to get up early every day, rush to the city gate, and wait until five o'clock (about four o'clock) when the city gate has just opened, and enter the city gate to get goods and deliver goods.

At night, they should go out before the gates close at five o'clock (about eight o'clock).

When I got home, it was almost nine o'clock.

One morning and one evening.

Delivery is not tired, mainly on the way into and out of the city, to get goods and deliver goods, every day need to get up early and greedy, sometimes during the day to make up for sleep.

But the errand was also a quiet one.

Twice in the morning and evening, there is nothing to do during the day, and you can be busy with other things, such as wholesale chickens from Cao Ren to sell them at the market. The wholesale price is not high, and it is better to sell the goods in the city, the transportation cost is greatly reduced, and the chickens are rarely broken.

At the end of the day, you can make a lot of profits.

Operating in the first half of last year, the Xie family's life has gradually improved.

Xie Changlin practiced martial arts in the martial arts hall, and after half a year, because of his outstanding qualifications and hard work, he also practiced some famous halls, and was recommended by the owner of the martial arts hall to enter the county government of Luoxiu County, which is located in the north city of Xijing, and became a strong class in the compilation.

In Daliang, the officials in the county can be called 'Dutou'.

Although Xie Changlin is just an ordinary people, he is also making up, and he will have the qualification to be honored as 'Dutou' in the future.

In the eyes of the official, not to mention the ordinary people, they are the head catchers, the team leaders, and the turbid currents of the officials, who cannot be on the stage and cannot enter the eyes of the law.

But for the people, even if it is a white servant who helps idle, they must be careful not to offend, let alone make it up.

In the past, a white servant was a big figure in the eyes of the Xie family.

And now, Xie Changlin has actually become a real official, and the excitement of the family can be imagined, no less than the title of the scholar and the gold list!

Everyone scolds the officials, and everyone envies the poor officials.

Love and hate, nothing more.

……

"Boss, when you go to the Yamen, you must be careful, don't bully the people, it's not easy."

"A lot of people in the yamen like to wander around the streets and extort money everywhere, so don't do that."

"Our family is not short of money now-"

Father Xie looked at the old man, bent his waist, gave Xie Changlin advice, and crossed his fingers to calculate the family's income: "There is 30 wengong money for sending fish every day, and if you go to the market to sell eggs, you can get more than 100 yuan a day. The combined income is almost 200 Wen, which is enough for our family to live. We can't do that conscience-destroying thing! ”

"Dad, I know, Brother Cao said the same thing. If I do something bad and not be a good person, Brother Cao will not be the first to spare me. ”

Xie Changlin nodded heavily.

He has also been bullied/stayed at the bottom, his father is kind and kind to teach by example, and Brother Cao urges him to teach, and he will never be an evil official.

Father Xie heard his eldest son mention Cao Ren, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The owner is benevolent and righteous!" ”

Provide work for the family.

Funded Xie Changlin to practice martial arts.

Now he is helping to operate, and let Xie Changlin enter the yamen as an errand.

This is the great benefactor and noble man of the Xie family!

"Alright."

"If you have anything to say on the road, today's boss is on a serious errand on the first day, so he can't be late."

Mother Xie saw that the father and son were talking endlessly, and urged twice, and the family set off in the dark, rushed to the city gate, and started a new day's life.

……

It's not just the Xie family.

It's not just Xie Changlin.

In the new year, Lu Damiao, Zou Long, and Zou Hu also passed through their respective martial arts hall masters, so that Yinzi opened the door, entered the county government, and became a government officer.

Xie Changlin entered the 'strong class' of the three classes of government servants, responsible for guarding the city gates, yamen, warehouses, prisons and other key parts, patrolling urban and rural roads, and a lot of oil and water.

Zou Long and Zou Hu were rare twin brothers with the same appearance, so they were photographed, entered the 'standing class', and became the 'soap li', responsible for following the chief to escort the left and right guards to open the way, standing on both sides of the hall during the trial, maintaining discipline, escorting criminals, and carrying out torture and cane punishment.

Close to the water, the future is not small.

And Lu Damiao is the 'fast class', the 'fast hand', which is commonly known as the 'fast catch', responsible for summoning defendants, witnesses, detecting criminals, and searching for evidence.

Xijing City is very large, with a total of 17 counties under its jurisdiction.

But there are only two counties in the city—

South Zhigo.

The north is Luo embroidery.

Kyoto is governed by Aka Prefecture.

The two counties divide the Xijing City, which is a red county, and a county has a population of one million, so there are many establishments in the yazhong.

For example, 'Express Shift'.

There are only ten people in ordinary counties, and there are only one class.

However, Luoxiu County has six fast shifts, with 16 people in each class, totaling 96 people.

Nearly a hundred!

Lots of people!

However, even so, there is still not enough manpower for the fast shift.

Especially in recent years, the frequent occurrence of various types of crimes has become more and more overstretched.

In the past six months, people have been even more panicked!

……

"Something is wrong!"

"Guo Zhutou was killed at home!"

"Guo Zhutou? His sword technique can rank first among the six major catchers of the Yamen, who can kill him?! ”

"I heard that it was the 'Iron Courage Shenhou' again, and this time I also burned down a room in Guo Zhutou's house."

"It's him again! Ate the bear's heart leopard gall! ”

"Shhhh In just six months after his debut, he committed 17 major crimes, with at least thirty or forty lives under his hands, and he called himself 'Iron Courage Shenhou', iron courage and iron courage, but he is not a bear-hearted leopard gall! ”

"If you don't catch this person, it's hard for everyone to be sure!"

"Liu Zhutou has already taken people to the scene."

……

Early this morning, as soon as Lu Damiao arrived at the Yamen, he was taken by the arrest leader 'Liu Rusong', along with a few of his subordinates who were in the regular service and a dozen or so gang idle white servants, and hurried to the Guo family's house in Chunhuifang.

Liu Rusong practiced martial arts in the major martial arts halls in Xijing City in his early years, and made a lot of fame, and he was already quite famous at the age of thirty, and then entered Luoxiu County as a head catcher, leading a class alone, and eleven of them were in the regular service, and there were dozens of white servants under him, and he was the number one person in the yamen.

He has some friendship with 'Huang Yihe', the owner of the martial arts hall where Lu Damiao is located.

Lu Damiao contacted Liu Rusong through Huang Yihe, and then opened the way with silver money, and it took a full forty taels of silver to win a position as a regular catcher.

This is still because of the fact that there have been many casualties in the Luoxiu County Ya in the past six months, and there are many people who are panicking and avoiding.

When this matter spreads today, I am afraid that the market will fall and fall below 40 ironclad nails.

And the source of all this is because of the peerless murderer who came out of the sky last year-

Iron Courage God!
