"We've been squatting here for more than a year, and we haven't even touched a single hair, and we haven't paid for our food."

"Huh." Qin Fan said with a sneer.

"Don't worry, when I catch those bandits, I won't do you any wrong."

When the thin and tall catcher heard it, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Brother Qin, do you mean that we don't have to pay for the meal these days?" The tall and thin catcher said excitedly.

"That's right."

Qin Fan nodded, "That's it."

"But what?" The tall and thin catcher asked hurriedly.

"It's just that during this time, I have to be responsible for the safety of the county government, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."

"Brother Qin, I appreciate your kindness." The thin tall catcher hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"Several of us are rude people in the countryside, and we are fortunate to be able to work in the county office."

"You."

"Lord Qin, we don't blame you for this." Another catcher hurriedly said, "If you have time, take some extra time to catch the bandits, that's the best."

"That's right, catching the bandits is the big deal."

Qin Fan frowned.

Although he complained a lot about these hillbillies, he didn't want to affect the normal operation of the county government because of this.

He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, then I'll give you a raise."

The eyes of the tall and thin catcher and the other catcher widened suddenly.

Seeing this, Qin Fan said again, "The daily salary will be increased by ten copper plates. In addition, you can enjoy a pot of wine for free every day, and your monthly income will be increased by 20 wen."

The tall and skinny catcher and the other catcher were stunned.

They never dreamed that such a good thing would happen.

You must know that there are only five or six texts in the county office.

In addition, there are various taxes to be paid, and the annual expenses are not small, and this is only the minimum income.

The thin and tall catcher took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and thanked him again and again.

"Lord Qin, thank you so much, you are really the benefactor of our county government."

"Yes, Lord Qin, I used to have eyes without beads, but you have a lot of them, don't worry about us." Another catcher also said.

Qin Fan waved his hand: "It's okay, I wasn't angry at all, as long as you can recognize your mistakes and work hard in the future, I won't mind."

"Lord Qin, don't worry, we will do a good job." The other two hurriedly patted their chests and promised.

"Hmm."

Seeing that the attitude of these three people was sincere, Qin Fan also nodded with satisfaction.

Then he asked, "But there are some things I have to warn you of."

"Lord Qin just said."

"The county government is an important yamen, and it is full of big people. If you annoy them, you won't be able to eat and walk around. Weigh yourselves."

Qin Fan advised, "If you make any mistakes, or accidentally get into trouble, run away quickly. Don't drag the mud and water."

"Yes, we know."

Qin Fan said, "But. I have one more thing to warn you."

"What?"

"No matter what difficulties you encounter, you should not act impulsively. You can't offend adults, because you're going to lose your head."

"Don't worry, we don't dare to offend your lordship." The other two nodded hurriedly.

"Good." Qin Fan nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at the tall and thin catcher and asked, "Li Ergou, are there any strange things about you patrolling around Wannian County during this time?"

"Strange place?" The thin and tall catcher scratched his head and said, "Brother Qin, there's nothing strange about it."

"Didn't you notice?" Qin Fan groaned.

"No, nothing." Li Ergou shook his head and said, "I patrol the county every day, and there is nothing strange in this area."

"Nothing?" Qin Fan narrowed his eyes, he didn't look alike

Believe that Li Ergou will have no doubts.

He stared at Li Ergou and asked in a cold tone, "You really didn't notice anything abnormal?"

Li Ergou was furious when Qin Fan looked at him, but he gritted his teeth and insisted, refusing to admit it.

"You really didn't notice?" Qin Fan asked again.

"Not really, Lord Qin, don't scare me anymore." Li Ergou shouted.

Qin Fan snorted coldly and didn't pay attention to him anymore.

Seeing that Qin Fan didn't pursue it again, Li Ergou breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Qin Fan's face changed.

"What's wrong?" Li Ergou hurriedly asked, "Lord Qin, what's wrong?"

"It's fine."

Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "It's not a bad thing, it's just that I saw a fly flying by just now."

Hearing this, Li Ergou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that Qin Fan was deliberately scaring him.

"That's not right."

Qin Fan suddenly thought of something, and his eyes flashed with a strange look.

"Lord Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Li Ergou couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Qin Fan didn't pay attention to Li Ergou, but lowered his head and carefully observed the footprints on the ground.

He found the footprints to be very neat and orderly.

And every step in the soil leaves a clear footprint.

"Did a thief come?" Qin Fan secretly thought.

With that in mind, his gaze swept around, trying to find some clues in the soil.

But the result disappointed him.

There is no trace of this.

"Lord Qin, what's wrong with you?" Li Ergou asked again.

Qin Fan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a casual look."

Li Ergou also did not doubt it.

"Alright, I've told you everything I need to say, now you can go back and rest."

After speaking, he threw a bag of golden beans to Li Ergou.

"These golden beans, you take them to buy some wine and food, I have a treat tonight."

"Oh, that's unacceptable, Lord Qin."

"Lord Qin, you're welcome, we'll just go by ourselves, how can we spend your money."

The three of them resigned.

Qin Fan waved his hand: "Don't shirk it, just do what I say."

"Then we might as well obey our orders respectfully, and thank Lord Qin for you first."

The three of them hurriedly thanked them.

Then they took the golden beans in their arms and left.

The night is getting darker.

Qin Fan returned to the room, sat down at the table and began to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, he suddenly thought of something and stood up.

At this time, Li Ergou on the side looked at Qin Fan and asked in a low voice, "Lord Qin, where are you going?"

"Go out and get some air, and you can go to bed early."

"That. Good night, Lord Qin."

After Li Ergou left, Qin Fan walked out of the door, followed the street, and walked out of the town.

He walked along the street for a long time.

Before he knew it, he came to Zhenbei Street, which was brightly lit.

"Huh?" Qin Fan glanced up.

The restaurants on this street are more prosperous than before, and the business is more than twice as good as during the day.

"Could it be that the death of King Zhennan caused a stir in this street?"

He thought to himself.
