Eating big melon is so refreshing

the other side

After Zhao Erlang sent the two children back to the dessert shop, he hurried to Xinghua Lane. On the way, he happened to meet a yamen runner he knew and took the people away with him.

"This is a damned human trafficker!" The yamen runner was furious, especially when he saw that among the abducted children there was a little girl from his neighbor's house who had been missing for a long time! At this moment, the little girl had become dull and dazed because she had been fed too many drugs.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Erlang kicked Hu Yidao to the ground without saying a word, and shouted angrily, "Don't pay any more attention to this scumbag, take these poor and innocent children to see a doctor! After you are done, return to the county government office and report this to the adults!"

Huangyang County was not very large to begin with, so naturally, such an earth-shattering event spread quickly and became known to everyone.

"The long-lost children were finally rescued. This is truly a blessing from God! If they had not been found in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. One of the children almost died, and the other almost became an idiot and spent the rest of his life in a daze."

"I heard that even the precious young master of the county magistrate's family was not spared and was dragged into this turmoil. It seems that the county magistrate will definitely not give up this time and will make great efforts to rectify social security and order. Maybe he will also send an additional special patrol team to protect the safety of our people day and night. Hehehe, my dog ​​has always wanted to be a majestic government official. If he can do as I wish, it would be great."

"Tsk, I don't know if your dog has a chance, but Zhao Wulang, who caught the human traffickers and rescued the children, definitely has a chance!"

Uncle Ku walked out of the county government office slowly with a dreamy look on his face, as if he was in a dream. He couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes - he was promoted to the captain of the patrol team by the county magistrate! At the same time, Zhao Wulang also officially became a member of the patrol team. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and his face was filled with joy.

The old man selling sesame cakes was grinning from ear to ear, and the wrinkles on his face were as bright and dazzling as blooming chrysanthemums. Because Xiao Chunya praised his sesame cakes for being delicious, all the sesame cakes were sold out today!

"Wulang, am I really... a captain?" Ku Shu couldn't help but mutter to himself. After all, he is now over 40 years old and has long passed the age of fantasy. He never expected to work in the county government and eat public food one day. However, fate is so wonderful that it allows him to realize this seemingly unattainable dream.

The captain of the patrol team received a monthly salary of two taels of silver, plus various subsidies, so the actual amount he received was two and a half taels of silver.

The monthly salary for ordinary team members is one tael of silver, plus various subsidies, the actual amount they receive is one and a half taels of silver.

This is a department that everyone wants to get into. Zhao Wulang can be said to have stood out from hundreds of people after going through many trials and tribulations. In the end, only twelve people were left in the finals, but there were only six spots available. In other words, whether one can win depends on luck, connections, and relationships!

Zhao Wulang was chosen because he caught a human trafficker and rescued seven abducted children today, and he gained a lot of attention and profits.

Captain Ku Shu conquered the county magistrate entirely by his strength. Thanks to his quick speed, he sent the county magistrate's son to the doctor in time and saved the child's life.

After Zhao Wulang's analysis, Uncle Ku also thought this was true. He asked curiously, "How did you know where the human traffickers were hiding?"

"Actually, it was the trafficker who let it slip! He was definitely not a good guy." Zhao Wulang suddenly had an idea and made up a reason. After all, Uncle Ku and Xiao Chunya were not related by blood, so he could not hear her inner voice. Therefore, this secret was destined to be buried deep in my heart forever and must not be easily leaked out!

"Let's go back quickly. We have to go back to work in three days. You also need to rent a place and bring your aunt out to live with you."

Uncle Ku and his wife only have one daughter, and Aunt Ku has had difficulty walking in recent years, so almost all the housework has been done by Uncle Ku alone. Now that Uncle Ku has gone to the county town to work, of course he has to bring his wife with him.

As the saying goes, live off the mountain. Behind Zhaojia Village is a Phoenix Mountain, which has many medicinal herbs and prey. With Uncle Ku's skills, he will not go hungry as long as nothing goes wrong. If you walk by the river, your shoes will get wet. The same is true for hunting. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Besides, no matter how lucky you are, you may be able to kill wild animals every time you go up the mountain, and if you are lucky you may be able to earn some copper coins every month. But no matter how lucky you are, it is impossible to earn two and a half taels of silver. The chances of making even half as much are slim!

Of course Uncle Ku cherishes this opportunity, fearing that he only has five years. That is a huge sum of money, and he will feel at ease if he can buy two more acres of land.

Zhao Erlang said, "It's hard to find a cheap and suitable house to rent right now. Uncle Ku, you can bring Aunt to live in my house first. Then let Silang and his wife go find your son-in-law's clan leader's wife. She is a married woman from Gaojia Village. This time, Gaojia Village owes Silang a favor for the wolfberry business."

Uncle Ku's son-in-law's surname is Liu. There is nothing wrong with that family. The only drawback is that there are too many people. More than 30 people from four generations live in one house, so trivial frictions are inevitable every day.

Zhao Wulang's eyes lit up and he said, "Fourth sister-in-law is good at speaking. Can we ask her to convince Liu Zhuang's family to move out and live with Uncle Ku?"

"It's obvious that the old man of the Liu family is a long-lived person. He can probably live to be a hundred years old. If we wait a hundred years to divide the family, I guess the Liu family won't be able to accommodate him."

Zhao Erlang said, "I think the old man of the Liu family is also looking for a suitable opportunity to let some of his children and grandchildren move out to live. I think he will agree."

Old Master Liu from Liujia Village is the only person in the surrounding area who passed the imperial examination and became an official. It's just that he was an official in the previous dynasty so his status is a bit awkward. Everyone in the world knows that the current emperor and the emperor of the previous dynasty are both relatives and enemies.

Unless the former officials were very talented or had a very good official style, they could stay with an open mind. The other former officials were gradually replaced by the emperor over the years, mainly because the emperor felt uncomfortable looking at these people.

The old man of the Liu family was just a juren. He worked his way up from a ninth-rank clerk over more than ten years. When he left office, he was only a seventh-rank county magistrate, which was already very remarkable in Huangyang County, as there hadn't been a scholar here for twenty years.
