Chapter Fifty-Seven: Catching the Fast House
Out of the Liuhe Gate, Zhao Lin came to the Kaishan Martial Arts Hall and told Liang Song about entering the Yamen as a fast catch.
"Your master really has a way, and it's really good for you!"
Liang Song was pleasantly surprised, "If I tell the martial arts hall about offending the beard, I'm afraid I'll sweep me out of the house." ”
As he spoke, he inadvertently saw ten blue and white bone joints on the back of Zhao Lin's hand, and let out a "huh".
"You've done it?"
Zhao Lin smiled but did not answer.
Liang Song said staggeringly: "It's really more popular than people, and several young talents in the martial arts hall are pickled goods compared to you." ”
After speaking, he sighed: "If I have your ability, I am not afraid that I will not be able to take revenge." ”
Zhao Lin put away his smile and said, "Don't say this, it's my responsibility to kill the beard." ”
The two came all the way to the county office, and the gatekeeper had already been informed, and was directly allowed to let them go, and led the way for the two.
Behind the gate is a long road, and through the Yimen is the county hall.
There are three rooms on the left and right sides of the lobby, with a total of six doors.
Yamen, commonly known as the Six Gates, comes from this.
These six rooms are the offices of the county government, and they are set up in accordance with the names of central officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers.
Zhao Lin and Liang Song received their clothes in the house, and they also had waist tags, iron rulers and ropes.
Liang Song is a fast catcher, wearing a ginger plate-collared shirt and a rounded hat without horns.
Zhao Lin is a head catcher, dressed in black, with a dark red shirt underneath, and a square hat on his head, which looks much more majestic.
The two of you look at me, I look at you, look at each other and smile.
"What's your last name?"
After completing the formalities and walking to the fast house, Zhao Lin asked the errand officer casually.
The messenger knew that they came in through the relationship between the master book, and his attitude was quite polite, and he said with a smile: "Don't be surnamed Zhen, the third in the family, just call me Zhen San." ”
"Third Brother Zhen, may I ask when you will come and when will you leave?"
Zhao Lin hopes to have free time to practice, so he is naturally very concerned about the work and rest arrangement.
"Gather in the morning and disperse, and rest every five days."
Zhen San said as he walked: "In the morning of summer and autumn, half of the time is scattered, spring and winter are short, and they come and go half an hour earlier. ”
After coming to this world for more than half a year, Zhao Lin gradually became accustomed to the ancient units of measurement.
After listening to it, I immediately understood that the other party was talking about going to work at 5 o'clock in the morning and getting off work at 3 o'clock in the afternoon in summer and autumn, and working from 6 to 4 in spring and winter.
"It's a little early to go to work."
Zhao Lin sighed a little in his heart, but there are not many entertainment activities in this era, and it is the norm to go to bed early and get up early.
"Do you have to work overtime?" Zhao Lin asked again.
"Overtime?" Zhen San was puzzled.
"It's just that I should have rested, because there was something temporary, and I had to continue to be on duty." Zhao Lin put it another way.
"That's what I'll understand."
Zhen San laughed and said, "There is such a thing. For example, if someone gathers in the jurisdiction to make trouble, or a major case occurs, it is still necessary to handle the errand. ”
It seems that you can't get rid of overtime anywhere......
Zhao Lin didn't ask about overtime pay, so there must be no one.
"That's it."
While speaking, the three of them came to the fast catching room on the west side of the lobby, and Zhen San glanced inside.
"Mr. Li is not here, and he will be able to see him tomorrow morning when he lights up."
After Zhen San finished speaking, he wanted to say goodbye and leave.
"Third Brother Zhen stays for a while."
Zhao Lin handed over a piece of silver weighing one or two, and said with a smile: "Both of us are rough and reckless men, and we are not familiar with the rules in the yamen, so please give me some advice." ”
Although Zhu Huaishan sent himself in through the relationship, the favor of the main book ended here, and no one will take care of him if he does good or bad work in the future.
Zhao Lin doesn't want a promotion or a salary increase, he just wants to spend a few years here steadily.
But the Yamen is deep, and it is not easy to seek stability just by looking for stability, so it is best to have someone who understands the inside story to guide you.
Although Zhen San is an errand officer who guards the gate, he often knows the most about this kind of person.
"Zhao Zhutou is polite."
Zhen San quickly put away the silver, shrunk it into his sleeve and checked it, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"As soon as you came in, your eyes were darkened, and I will tell you."
He led the two of them to a pillar that no one paid attention to, and explained the division of powers and responsibilities, organizational structure, personnel arrangements, etc., in detail.
It wasn't until the sun went down that I stopped talking for most of the hour.
"Thank you, Third Brother Zhen."
Zhao Linxin said that the two pieces of silver were not spent in vain, and now he finally has a general understanding of the fast catch.
At this time, the people in the yamen had almost gone, Zhao Lin and Liang Song went out for a meal, and returned to the fast room again.
The fast room is a place for quick office and is also used for temporary rest.
The room is quite spacious, at least able to accommodate 100 people, there are several tables in the north of the door, there are seven or eight stools in the middle, and there are two earthen kangs on the west side of the wall.
The clay kang is covered with a straw mat mat, which is just right for sleeping.
It was still early, so Zhao Lin and Liang Song practiced the six-character mantra.
In order not to disturb others, they only exhale and do not make a sound.
Before it got dark, the two of them fetched water from the well in the small courtyard in front of the door, washed up briefly, and prepared to rest.
"I'm out of luck tonight, if I don't come over to watch the night, it's no problem for Lao Tzu to earn another seven or eight taels."
"Don't blow it, you, when didn't you win first and then lose, and you only had a pair of pants left?"
"Why is your kid talking so ugly, didn't you drink too much yellow soup in the brothel just now."
"Don't make any noise, don't let people hear gossip......"
Zhao Lin's ears were very strong, and he heard someone talking in the direction of the yamen, and it was getting closer and closer.
"One, two, three...... Four, five, six. ”
Based on the sound of footsteps, he judged that it was a group of six people.
After a while, the six catchers walked into the room, talking and laughing.
Seeing Zhao Lin and Liang Song, several people were stunned.
"You are...... New to the new arrival? ”
The questioner was a forty-year-old man, dressed as a headcatcher, with blue and white marks on the joints of his fist and skull, and his cultivation was at least in the bone training period.
"Exactly." Zhao Lin and Liang Song got up and clenched their fists at the same time.
Zhen San told the two of them that the yamen arranged people to patrol the night every night, and these people should have come to rest before the night patrol.
Seeing that Zhao Lin was wearing the clothes of a head catcher at a young age, the middle-aged head catcher frowned imperceptibly, and with an "oh" sound, he casually found a stool and sat down, ignoring the two of them no longer.
"Do you know where they come from?"
"I don't know."
"At this time, I am still staying in the yamen, I am afraid that I will be paid for the air."
"Hmph, the hair hasn't grown, as soon as you come in, you will be a head catcher, is this reasonable......"
A few catchers whispered in a low voice, thinking that Zhao Lin couldn't hear it, but they didn't know that he had quietly released the ultrasound wave and listened to the conversation clearly.
Zhao Lin glanced down at the uniform on his body, speechless, he didn't expect that he would be jealous of being the head catcher.
"Big brother, I'm going to plate those two boys?" A male duck said quickly.
"Forget it, we don't know the details of other people, don't get into trouble." The middle-aged head catcher shook his head.
The male duck said unwillingly: "Lao Tzu has worked diligently for more than ten years, and he is still a small catcher." This kid looked less than twenty years old, and when he came in, he rode on Lao Tzu's head, and he was a Xipi. ”
Zhao Lin heard from his voice that the male duck's voice was the fast catcher who spoke before entering the door, and he didn't think so.
Eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, and everything is good for catching fast?
At the same time, I am also secretly vigilant that I am afraid that my future life will not be so good.
Not long after, the sound of the second watch, and the middle-aged head of the hunt led a group of his subordinates to leave the fast room.
Zhao Lin and Liang Song unfolded the bed mat, lay down in their clothes, and slept until dawn.
