Chapter 8 The Good Prescription Is the Medicine of the Conscience

Chen Ke looked at Long Tu and asked, "My lord, do you also give a hundred yuan to help?" ”

After hearing this, Long Tu said with a smile: "It's not a hundred wen!" ”

"Huh?" Chen Ke was slightly stunned, the supernumerary helpers have 100 yuan, how can they not help the employees, he said: "Then the adults let me be a supernumerary helper, the supernumerary helper has 100 yuan." ”

"Hahaha......" Long Tu laughed after hearing this.

Several guards next to him also laughed, and the Xie Zhutou smiled: "Chen Ke, what the adult means is that there are more helpers than supernumerary helpers, and there are 100 Wenyueyi for supernumerary helpers, and 250 Wenyuefeng for helpers." It's a full 150 more than the supernumerary helpers, enough for you to eat a few more roast chickens every month! ”

Chen Ke's eyes lit up, and he thanked Long Tu: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Long Tu said: "You have a good errand, there is still a long way to go in life, your life has just begun, there is a more exciting life to experience, work hard." ”

"Yes!" Chen Ke was greatly encouraged in his heart, he felt that Master Longtu was not only a good official, but also a good person!

Xie Zhutou took Chen Ke to arrange his affairs, and as a helper, he had what he should do.

In the eyes of ordinary people outside, the help of the idle service, the government, and the lower supernumerary staff are actually the officials of the yamen, and there is no difference between the three of them.

Chen Ke received a figure to guard the back office, Jingzhao Mansion as the seat of the government of the capital, there are many things that are managed and restricted, and the yamen is also very large, Chen Ke just vaguely feels that the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is at least as big as dozens of farmhouse yards.

As for how many houses there are in Jingzhao Mansion, Chen Ke did not count.

He was guarding the place where the yamen temporarily held prisoners, but it was not a prison, but a place of custody. Chen Ke did not guard inside, but stood guard in the outermost aisle.

Soon after.

"Here, your waist tag and identity token."

Escort Zhang came over with a bag of documents and handed it to Chen Ke, Chen Ke carefully opened it, and inside was a dark blue servant, from hats to boots, and the rest were a few books and two tokens.

"You try on the clothes to see if they fit, if they don't fit, I'll ask someone to go to the Weaving Bureau to help you make up for one!" Zhang Huwei said with a smile.

Chen Ke took out his clothes and compared them to himself, which was quite suitable, he nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhang Huwei said: "That's good, you only have one piece of clothing a year, if you want another change of clothes, you need to pay twenty yuan to buy it, but the back office has clothes left by the brothers who went to work before, you can pick and choose, no money." ”

Chen Ke said: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your advice." ”

Escort Zhang patted Chen Ke's shoulder, and said with a smile to Xie Zhutou: "This kid has an ordinary figure, he can lift the two of us up, what a cow!" ”

Xie Zhutou looked at Chen Ke and asked mysteriously, "Chen Ke, aren't you really an immortal master?" ”

Chen Ke shook his head and said, "I'm really not, but I have an immortal method." ”

"Oh, can you show me?"

Xie Zhutou's eyes lit up and he asked with surprise.

Zhang Huwei said with a smile: "His immortal method is a Taoist book sold by Old Man Li in the west of the city for ten yuan. ”

"Old man Li!" Xie Zhutou suddenly lost interest, and looked at Chen Ke again and said: "Chen Ke, Old Man Li is a liar, you were deceived, I originally bought it, and it cost fifty yuan, but then I read it again and found that it was not an immortal method at all, I asked him to return the money at that time, but he didn't admit to selling me the book!" Fortunately, I was a head catcher, and I said that I would arrest him and put him in jail, so he returned the money. ”

Chen Ke said: "But I think the book he sold me is real, and he is ready to accept me and teach me the Tao." ”

When Xie Zhutou heard this, he immediately said angrily: "This old man Li, how can he catch a person in a pit, I will pull him to prison!" ”

When Chen Ke heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Xie Zhutou's arm, he knew that Xie Zhutou was for his good, but he could really confirm that this old man Li's book was a real immortal law.

"Xie Zhutou, I still don't want it, I think it's true, if I am fooled, it is not too late for you to help me catch him." Chen Ke helped Old Man Li to argue.

Zhang Huwei said with a smile: "You see that this kid is honest, and he was deceived and helped others intercede." Lao Xie, you give Chen Ke a face, and when Chen Ke is deceived and can't eat, let's arrest Old Man Li again, and ten cents won't be locked up for a day! ”

When Xie Zhutou heard this, he said: "It's still your brother who has a way, Chen Ke will wait for you to be deceived by two hundred yuan, and then come and tell me!" Two hundred dollars is enough to take care of him for a month! ”

Chen Ke whispered: "He is really an immortal." ”

"Haha, fairy...... He is an immortal, and I am the emperor of heaven! Xie Zhutou smiled.

Xie Zhutou took out another hundred yuan from his arms and handed it to Chen Ke, but his rough face was full of concern: "I know that you have a miserable background, I went to the account office to help you advance less than half a month's salary, you can collect it, don't lose it." ”

Chen Ke was holding a large string of money in both hands, his eyes were full of gratitude, and the people here were very good.

"Thank you so much for catching the head." Chen Ke said.

Xie Zhutou said: "Do a good job, maybe you can be an official catcher in the future, and you can sit on the head catcher like my brother and me!" Haha......"

Zhang Huwei and Xie Zhutou turned to leave, and Chen Ke continued to stand alone, but he could hear what the two of them said when they walked away.

"Lao Xie, this money is your salary just paid last month."

"Hehe, you guessed. I looked at this kid's lack of food, and was worried that he was too frugal, so I helped him put it on in advance and returned it to me when he paid his salary. ”

"You...... Let's go, my brother has gone down and invited you to drink. ”

"Haha, then I'll kill you a few more bites."

Chen Ke hugged his clothes, took the money and looked at Xie Zhutou and Zhang Huwei who were walking away, he didn't expect that Xie Zhutou, who had only met a few times, could treat him like this, there are still many good people in this world.

At noon, Chen Ke didn't go to eat again, changed his clothes, collected the money, and Chen Ke stood up in his new official clothes.

Chen Ke planned to wait for his aunt and Uncle Wang's revenge and let the dead fellow villagers in the village rest in peace, he would work hard in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and then ask Old Man Li for an immortal, and his life was already satisfied.

As the day passed slowly, Zhang Huwei and Xie Zhutou walked together, and Zhang Huwei said, "Chen Ke, it's time to rest." ”

"Oh." Chen Ke nodded, and followed Zhang to escort them out of the yamen.

After chatting with Xie Zhutou and them all the way, Chen Ke knew that Xie Zhutou was powerful, Xie Zhutou was a head catcher with a strong sense of justice, so he had offended a lot of powerful people, if it wasn't for Lord Longtu's protection, he would have been arranged to watch the city gate at the border of the wilderness.

Escort Zhang took Xie Zhutou to the inn where Chen Ke was staying to drink, and Xie Zhutou said, "Really drink?" ”

"What? I'm scared. Zhang Huwei joked, "My brother and sister won't let you go to bed at night, and I'll kneel on the washboard instead." ”

"Who...... Whoever is afraid, drink it, I will catch my head...... How can you be afraid of a woman! Xie Zhutou looked at Chen Ke and held his head high arrogantly.

Chen Ke ordered two side dishes and gave them to Xie Zhutou, but Xie Zhutou refused, saying that he was waiting until Chen Ke had sent a complete monthly salary to invite them to eat two side dishes, and now there is not much money, so let Chen Ke keep it for himself.

Chen Ke took the money and went upstairs, left thirty Wen for himself, and handed over the rest to Sister-in-law Qin.

"Brother Chen, what are you ......?" Sister-in-law Qin asked in surprise.

Chen Ke said with a smile: "Among them, ten cents is the money you paid for buying books for me, and the rest is put in you first, and you still cook for me every day, and I can't repay it, so this money should be used as money for you to buy oil and salt." ”

Sister-in-law Qin's eyes shone slightly, and she was moved by Chen Ke.

She said: "You child, sister-in-law has money, so I don't need you." ”

Chen Ke said with a smile: "I found an errand in the Yamen, and it is not safe to put the money in my room, so I can rest assured, when you cook, you will spend my money first, Lord Chen Ying's money...... Let's keep it for now. ”

Sister-in-law Qin didn't postpone it, and said, "Okay, spend your money first." But the sister-in-law spends half of it, and the remaining half is saved for you. Even if the money spent is borrowed by the sister-in-law, the sister-in-law will pay it back to you in the future. ”

"If you don't want to borrow or not, you saved my life, and you still see me for this money." Chen Ke said with a smile.

After teasing Xiaobao, Chen Ke finished eating the meal cooked by Sister-in-law Qin and returned to the room.

Change out the official clothes and stack them well. Putting on his usual clothes and picking up the book "Dao" under his pillow, Chen Ke read it again.

"There are not many words in this book, only a few thousand words, and I have memorized them all, so that I will not be stolen and I will not be able to study it." Chen Ke thought as he read.

He and Sister-in-law Qin temporarily stayed in the inn, which was still the most rudimentary, and the doors were all topped with a piece of wood, and there was no door bolt at all. If you are a thief, there is no place to find it.

Chen Ke plans to memorize the "Dao" book in the past few days.

After midnight, Chen Ke's eyes were clear, if there was a flash of brilliance, he touched his chest and said: "It really won't be in severe pain, the book given by the old fairy is immortal!" ”

After verifying the authenticity of the Dao book again, Chen Ke was able to be sure that the old immortal called Old Man Li did not lie to him.

Moreover, Chen Ke can also be sure that the method taught by Uncle Wang is also an immortal method! Chen Ke sat down cross-legged and began to breathe according to the immortal method taught by Uncle Wang, and he felt that his eyebrows were clear, and his heart was warm and cool.

It was another morning, Chen Ke didn't dream, he felt very magical. Although there is sadness in the heart, it will not be restless.

"Auntie, Uncle Wang! Rest assured, I'll take care of myself. Chen Ke clenched his fists and said, "When the white guards come back, they will be able to avenge you!" ”

In the past few days, in addition to going to the yamen for official business, Chen Ke has come back to endorse. In three days, Chen Ke memorized thousands of words of the "Tao" book.

During this period, Old Man Li came to sell books, and Chen Ke planned to buy another copy, but Old Man Li refused to sell it to him.

Just asked Chen Ke to buy him a pot of wine, and then buy a big chicken leg to taste.

The big chicken leg is nineteen wen, a pot of wine is five wen, and Chen Ke has six wen left.

"Boy, this is your apprenticeship to honor the old man in advance, see you in a few days." Old man Li took the wine and the chicken leg wrapped in butter paper, hugged his stack of books, and walked to the west gate of the capital with a smile.

"Blessed are the chickens to eat......"

The innkeeper laughed: "You kid, you're really stupid." ”

For another two days, Chen Ke didn't see Old Man Li, but he received good news.

The White Guard is back from the South!
