The little fat man nodded in understanding. Because there are no cases now, there is naturally no need to be promoted. The prefect let them patrol freely, and at the same time, he instructed the little fat man to follow Jin Buyan and Jin Bufu to learn from them how to be a fast catcher. Subsequently, the prefect ordered someone to find a set of clothes for the little fat man. Fortunately, there were also obese people in the yamen before, otherwise, there would be no clothes suitable for the little fat man to wear. After the little fat man was dressed neatly, according to the prefect's will, after leaving the yamen, he followed the Jin brothers closely.

The little fat man followed the Jin brothers to Nancheng to inspect, and the street they came to was Xiangyang Street, a relatively prosperous commercial street in Nancheng. As soon as he stepped on Xiangyang Street, the little fat man looked from afar, and saw many vendors selling sugar gourds, kites, girls' jewelry, and so on on on the street.

I saw the three little fat men and shouted, "The chengguan is here!" So, I saw that the small merchants and vendors who were in full swing just now began to clean up their stalls. After a while, there were not many people left on Xiangyang Street, which was still lively just now.

The little fat man didn't understand what he meant, and turned his head to ask Jin Buran. Jin Buyan had long been surprised by this kind of thing, and explained the reason to the little fat man with a smile. It turns out that in addition to arresting criminals and wanted thieves, these fast arrests in Lianyun City are usually responsible for maintaining the order of the Lianyun City market, that is, going to the market to collect road usage fees from small traders and hawkers. Of course, there are some small traders and hawkers who are unwilling to pay, so the duty of these catchers is to expel these small traders and hawkers who do not pay. For those who do not change their ways, confiscation can be given until they have paid the fees and fines, and then they can be returned. Therefore, these small merchants and hawkers call these catchers who are in charge of the management order of the urban market in Lianyuncheng "chengguan".

When the little fat man heard this, he suddenly realized. Only then did I understand why those small traders and peddlers saw them, like mice and cats. It turns out that most of these ** are illegal operations!

The fat city manager suddenly had a sense of superiority, and glanced at those who were scattered and fled majestically, feeling very satisfied.

When the Jin brothers saw the little fat man's coquettish urine, they were not to be outdone, and each took out their own weapons. The little fat man was very puzzled when he saw the weapons of the Kim brothers. I saw the two brothers, Jin Buyan was holding a scale the size of a pear, and Jin Bufu was holding a lock that locked the door. The little fat man has seen a lot of weapons in the outer door, but he has never seen a weapon made of scales and chains. Later, the little fat man learned that the weapons of the two Jin brothers also had a great background. It was during an expulsion of small traders and hawkers who illegally occupied the road the year before last, and suddenly, several people from the demon path burst out of the crowd. This demon path person, at that time, seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and when he saw it, he cut it quickly. That time, the killers were caught off guard, and the two Jin brothers broke their knives. Just when the two brothers were unarmed, they suddenly found the scales and locks left on the ground when a small merchant and hawker were running around on the ground next to them. So, the two brothers were in a hurry, picked up the scales and chains on the ground, used them as weapons, and fought hard to kill the enemy. That time, after a hard battle, he finally killed and repelled the attack of the people in the demon path. The two Kim brothers also benefited from this scale and lock to save their lives. From then on, the two brothers used scales and chains as their personal weapons.

It is said that these three major city managers were walking proudly, and suddenly found an old man in front of him, who was hurriedly packing up the books on the ground. It turned out that this was a stall selling books, because of his age and inflexible legs, the three little fat men came to him, and they hadn't packed up the books on the ground. Seeing this, the Jin brothers walked up quickly, and the little fat man followed closely behind.

"Hey, old man, have you paid the road usage fee?" asked Jin Bufu, who had already walked up to the old man. Actually, there is no need for the old man to answer, his actions have already told the answer to the three major chengguans. If this old man had paid the fee, there was no need to rush to collect the stall now.

When the old man heard Jin Buyan's question, he raised his head, smiled reluctantly, and said: "The three adults are gracious, but I am desperate, and I am forced to set up a stall here to sell books out of desperation." ”

From the old man's knife-like wrinkles, the three of them could already see his helplessness and sadness. Their city management, under the instruction of the prefect, acted very flexibly. It's not like other cities, it's too rigid and makes everyone spurn. Jin Bufu said, "Old man, quickly put away your books." The next time I see you setting up a stall in violation of the law, I will confiscate your book for you. ”

When the old man heard that he would not confiscate his book this time, he showed a grateful look on his face, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, sir! As he spoke, the old man took the book in front of him in a panic.

The little fat man looked at this old man, who was at least sixty years old, and his legs and feet were immobile, and he came out to set up a stall to sell books, and he had already guessed in his heart that this old man was indeed in trouble. So, the little fat man stepped forward and helped the old man put away the book and put it in a baggage.

"Thank you. The old man said gratefully. After saying that, he bent down and prepared to carry the backpack in front of him.

The little fat man looks at the books in this burden very heavy, and if this old man carries it, I'm afraid it will not be easy to memorize. The little fat man was moved by compassion for a while, and said to the old man: "Uncle, don't be busy walking yet. ”

The old man raised his head, looked at the fat city manager suspiciously, and asked, "My lord, do you have any other orders?"

When the little fat man saw the old man's expression, he knew that he might have misunderstood that he was going to confiscate his books, so he hurriedly said, "Uncle, I don't mean anything else." I just want to know, why are you still out to set up a stall at such an old age?"

When the old man heard that the little fat man was not going to confiscate his books, he was relieved, and at the same time his face turned gloomy, and said: "Little Lao'er, I had a son and a daughter, my wife died early, and my daughter married thousands of miles away in Anliucheng the year before last, so I and my youngest son depended on each other. Who would have thought that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people will have good and bad luck. My youngest son died of an illness two months ago. The little old man is old and ready to go to Anliucheng's daughter. However, the family was destitute. I couldn't make up the travel expenses, so I wanted to take out some old books at home and sell them and make a mess. As he spoke, the old man couldn't hold back his tears, probably remembering his son who had just died.

When the little fat man heard this, he thought of his life experience, and thought of his parents who were killed by people in the Demon Dao, and he also sighed in his heart. The little fat man gritted his teeth and said to the old man, "Uncle, how much are your books worth?" I'll tell you the truth, I'm the one who likes to read the most!"

The little fat man is talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he has read less than one book in a year. Usually, I just know how to read, and I don't like to read at all.

The old man believed it, his face was happy, and he hurriedly said, "Really? Thank you so much." I was going to sell these books for 300 wen, so you can get 200 wen for me. ”

After hearing this, the little fat man took out a piece of silver from his pocket, which weighed one or two, and said to the old man, "Uncle, these two pieces of silver are for you." With the extra money, you can buy some food and drink on the way. ”

When the little old man saw that the little fat man had taken more than one or two pieces of silver, he was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My lord, my book is not worth so much money." ”

"Just take it. The little fat man said, and shoved the silver into the old man's hand.

The little old man had no choice but to accept the little fat man's money, wiped a handful of tears, and said, "Thank you, my lord." If you have the opportunity to go to Anliu City, I will definitely let my daughter set up wine to entertain you. ”

"Okay. The little fat man smiled, picked up the burden on the ground, waved at the old man, and said, "Uncle, I wish you a safe journey." After saying that, the little fat man carried the burden and followed the Jin brothers to inspect elsewhere. After the three major city management left, those small merchants and hawkers who had already scattered returned to Xiangyang Street and continued to set up stalls and shout.

The two Jin brothers are old people who mix oil in society, and they have long seen that the little fat man is deliberately helping the old man. Both of them looked appreciative of the little fat man, and felt that the little fat man's behavior did not lose the demeanor of a big faction. In fact, just yesterday, these two had heard that the little fat man was from Sword and Fairy Villa. Xianjian Villa is the first village in the world, and its reputation is so loud. It can be said that everyone knows from 80 years old to 8-year-old children. The little fat man is from the Fairy Sword Villa, and they guess that it is estimated that the cultivation is not bad. Now seeing the little fat man's courage and righteousness, I can't help but admire him.

No matter what the little fat man says, he is now also in the three-talent period. These forty or fifty pounds of books are just a piece of cake for him. Walking on the road is almost the same as not carrying anything on your back. After the inspection was completed, it was noon. When they saw that the sun was rising and the sun was in the middle of the sky, they returned to the yamen and gave orders. There was no food in the yamen, and after the order was handed over, they went home to eat. The little fat man was homeless, so he had to go back to the office, he had already thought about it, and when he went back, he would go to Bi's tofu brain store to eat casually. Today I gave the old man more than one or two pieces of silver, and the little fat man's little vault is no longer in stock, so he will have to save some money in the future. The little fat man carried his burden of books all the way back to the office.

When he arrived at the office, the little fat man put the burden on the ground of the house, and he frowned when he looked at the burden. The little fat man never likes to read, and he hasn't figured out what to do with this book yet. Now that they have bought everything, the little fat man is ready to see what books they have. Otherwise, a tael of silver would have been wasted. Thinking of this, the little fat man opened the old man's baggage, and the first thing that caught his eye was a book of ancient celebrity quotations. The little fat man was not interested in this and threw it aside. I picked up the next one, which was a book of astronomical knowledge. The little fat man was still not interested, and threw it aside. In a few moments, more than a dozen books were thrown. At this time, the little fat man saw a book with yellowed pages, and the book cover read "Flying Dust Knife Method".
