Huang Li took Lu Qi away.

Leave behind the envious crowd.

Jia San looked at the back of Lu Qi leaving, and there was a trace of resentment in his heart.

He felt that if it weren't for Lu Qi, he wouldn't have been slapped in the face, and if it wasn't for Lu Qi, he would have been able to squeeze the few families he had arrested.

Today, acquitted.

He didn't have any hair.

No way.

Can't accept fate.

Jia San took several neighborhoods out of the county office, but the shackles have not been removed.

Uncle Shi and the others were full of doubts and worries, "Third Master, Huang Zhutou said that we were innocent, why didn't you help us give us the chains?" ”

Jia Sanyi slapped him and said, "Bastard, you just said you would go?" A few gentlemen ran away and sent you here under the sun, and you didn't give some money for tea and flail, so you wanted to leave directly?! ”

Tea money?!

Flail money?!

The neighbors were stunned.

Uncle Shi was even more shocked: "Third Master, did you arrest us by mistake, and if you let us go, you still want us to give money?" ”

"Smack!"

Another slap in the face.

Jia San poked Uncle Shi's stomach with the handle of his knife, making him retreat in pain, "What did you catch by mistake?" What was the miscatch? Lao Tzu caught someone, did you miss it?! ”

"Let me tell you, the death of the butcher Wang's family has nothing to do with you. You can't kill Wang Liang and other warriors, it's still possible to kill their old and young. Now, if you want to go back or not, you can pay if you want, damn it! ”

Syllable!

slapped it with his backhand again, and Uncle Shi was directly knocked out.

Uncle Shi's family immediately panicked, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, while Aunt Shi cried and shouted for money.

"How much, how much? Third master, please stop fighting, spare us. ”

"Third master, we give, please, don't fight."

Jia San snorted: "Isn't it over if you give it early?" ”

Then he instructed the left and right to collect all the money from the neighbors, and at the same time asked them to write an IOU of three dollars and return it within seven days, and then let them go.

"Remember, if anyone dares to chew the root of his tongue in front of Lu Qi, Lao Tzu will pull out his tongue." Jia San threatened.

Frightened, the neighbors shrank their necks and left with their heads bowed.

Within the prefectural office.

Lu Qi followed Huang Li and passed through three doors all the way, even if Huang Li took him, he was still searched once, and finally arrived at the house.

A large courtyard, and two groups of people guarding the door.

Huang Lidao: "This is the county government's important place, and the households, pawn rooms and officials' rooms are all in it, and fireworks and swords are strictly prohibited. After entering, do not make loud noises. ”

Lu Qi secretly made a note, and then followed Huang Li is into the main courtyard, there were many people inside, including soap officials and healthy women, as well as men and official slaves.

However, these people were all walking with their heads down, and when they saw Huang Li's arrival, they lowered their heads even more, muttered "Huang Zhutou", and walked quickly.

Lu Qi said: "Isn't it strictly forbidden to fireworks, how can there be a husband?" ”

Huang Lidao: "Fireworks are strictly forbidden to outsiders, but the official who works here, if he doesn't eat or drink all day, he will not be able to stand it." Naturally, there must be men to pass on the food, and there are officials and slaves to serve them. ”

Lu Qi was speechless for a while, the evil feudal society.

Finally.

Before the two of them arrived at a simple house, the door was one foot and three inches, and it was a little loose for one person to enter, but it was not okay for two people to be side by side.

There was a sign at the door, and there were two tables and a few chairs.

The house is not big and can accommodate seven or eight people for the office.

As if he knew that Lu Qi was puzzled, Huang Li explained: "The six rooms are all for the people, and it is not appropriate to be extravagant and wasteful, so the office can be settled, and it is not luxurious." ”

Lu Qi glanced at the table, in addition to the table, there were also teapots and a few plates of pastries.

On the corridor, men and slaves entered some rooms one after another with some dishes, and some even entered a certain room with a pot of wine.

He sighed in his heart, "This is so unpretentious. ”

"Huang Datou, how many times have I told you, a rough man, don't make noise outside, you just don't listen, do you want me to join you in front of the county honor?"

There was a neutral voice in the room, just as soon as he heard it, Lu Qi felt that this person's strength was not bad.

It was able to attract some influence from the qi in his dantian, but fortunately, he immediately suppressed it, and there was no abnormality.

Huang Li was outside and laughed: "Master, I introduced you to talents, and you still blame me, it's just unreasonable." ”

As he spoke, he directly pulled Lu Qi into the room, and soon the room was very crowded.

Two of the scribes immediately went out to make room for them.

Lu Qicai saw the layout inside.

A table is attached to the wall, and there are four positions on the side, and now in addition to the two, there are still two officials in their forties and fifties who are drinking tea and watching the case.

There is also a yellow rosewood inside, facing the direction of the door, and behind the yellow rosewood table, there is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a green coat and a mustache, shaking a fan, looking at the paperwork.

There was a pot of tea boiling on the side, and a pile of paperwork.

Seeing Huang Li and the others coming in, they put down the paperwork.

The middle-aged man was the second-in-command master of Chiba County, glanced at Huang Li, and said, "Huang Datou, who are you bringing here?" ”

Before Huang Li could say anything, Lu Qi hugged his fists and saluted.

He is a warrior or a master, so he doesn't have to kneel and bow.

Huang Li explained with a smile: "Master, this is Fu Lu Qi, the master of Lu Ji's blacksmith shop, who is making a total of thirty swords and axes for my county government. ”

The master said: "There are many masters who do things for my county government. ”

Huang Lidao: "Master doesn't know, Master Lu is different from others, he is thirty days to fight thirty low-grade sword soldiers. ”

The master was looking at Lu Qi right now, and the other two swordsmen and penmen on business also stopped, looking at Lu Qi, as if they were a little curious, who was so desperate and so liver.

It is already very rare for an ordinary master to be able to fight ten lower-grade knives in a month, and even after the fight, he has to rest for ten days and half a month, and he does the work of three others in a month?!

The master said: "Yes, young and promising. ”

Lu Qi hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the compliment, it is my honor to be able to do things for the county government." ”

The master said: "The county government does not compete with the people for profit, Huang Datou, and the salary is not less." ”

Huang Lidao: "Master, rest assured, it is indispensable, the market price, fifteen yuan a handful." ”

The master nodded, and the two sword and pen officials looked at each other strangely.

The manual cost of fifteen yuan is a matter of the year of the monkey, and now the price of the next grade knife has increased by four or five times, and the wage has increased by at least three or four times.

I can't recruit anyone like this.

Huang Li even said that it was indispensable!

Isn't that bullying?

Lu Qi was thoughtful.

The master said: "Okay, it can be regarded as doing things for the county government, do it well, I can't treat you badly." ”

Huang Li took the opportunity to say: "Master, you're right, we can't let him suffer, but his shop is about to expire, and there is no place to live, I think we can arrange a place for him to live on Shenlong Street, and when we build sword soldiers, it will also be convenient to protect?!" ”

The master frowned and said, "If that's the case, why not?" ”

Huang Li said with a smile: "Master, Shenlong Street is covered by our county government, and it is also convenient to supervise the work." ”

The master said: "Zhang Qian, can there be a house and an empty shop on Shenlong Street?" ”

A knife and pen clerk hurriedly got up, "No. 76, Lane 9, Shenlong Street, there happens to be a vacant room, which is from the previous team leader, the team leader died in the mine, the family sold the house the day before yesterday, and wanted to take the child back to his parents' house, which is still empty and no one has taken over." ”

The master said: "Then No. 76." ”

This kind of combination of house and bunk is not cheap, and the former owner still has an official status, and it is even more expensive.

So.

Even if someone takes a fancy to it, they may not be able to afford it.

Huang Li wanted to refuse, because it was expensive.

Lu Qi bowed down and thanked him, "Thank you, master." ”

Huang Li panicked, "Brother Lu...... Master Lu, No. 76 is expensive, and it is surrounded by merchants, so it can't protect you......"

Lu Qi hugged his fists and said: "Huang Zhutou, I am already grateful to have a place to live, how dare I ask for extravagance?!" ”

Huang Li sighed, and felt that this was indeed the case.

The master looked at Lu Qi with a little more surprise.

Nodding slightly, he said, "No. 76 is not cheap, at least thirty taels of silver, can you afford it?" ”
