Daqing Criminal Division

Now that they have returned from Chuzhou, the first thing the two of them do is to report to the government together.

In the past few days, he was not in Songyang, Duan Yuanbao had been following Zack's aftermath, and he lived in his home in the west of the city.

Because he has no family, a big man who is used to living a rough life is not very good at taking care of children.

Usually, Zakshan was patrolling the streets outside, so he led this kid to restaurants and alleys every day.

Every day, I either go to Dongxiang Restaurant to eat fish, or I go to Nan’anzhai to eat meat, and I also eat big buns of bamboo shoots and fresh meat from Baiyun Village every day, so after this encounter, it is better than when Duan Xiaoren was there. fat.

As a result, Duan Yuanbao and Zakshan formed a deep friendship.

I just think that the best man in the world is the fast uncle, and Zha Keshan is full of praise when he talks about this kid.

In this regard, as a person who is busy with daily business affairs, the real father has nothing to say when he witnesses all this, but there is an uneasy and kind person who runs on him as soon as he opens his mouth.

Fuchaerji: "Look, Zak Shandubi, you will be the father of your child. This is a failure in family education."

Duan Xiao: "Some people who don't have sons at all can shut up now."

Fucharzi: "It doesn't matter to me. I definitely still have a chance. Some people are afraid that the chance is not great."

Duan Xiao: "What chance can a disabled person have, the chance to regain his light?"

Seeing that they went out for a business trip together, their relationship seemed to get worse for no reason after they came back.

I don't know if something happened during the trip to Chuzhou, and Zha Keshan was a little dumbfounded, but it's hard to say anything about him as a friend, so he can only act as a peacemaker and say something.

"Well, okay, okay, stop arguing, both of you, you both have a chance..."

This "everything has a chance" does not specify what it refers to in the end.

However, since everyone had official duties in broad daylight, they didn't chat much afterwards.

Fuchaerji and Duan Xiao, who didn't agree with each other at all, went to the Yamen to do business first, and Duan Yuanbao didn't follow to the government, but went back to wait for his father.

After returning to the cooperation, the wrong partner duo reported first.

After going out for six or seven days, the days go by pretty quickly.

Because the temporary identities of the two of them are now registered in the name of Songyang County Yamen.

Duan Xiao is considered half of the yamen, and Fuchaerji is more like a person who can work anywhere temporarily, but once the case is investigated, he has to go back to the original government to close the case.

Nowadays, the government office is not only in charge of the people's livelihood, but also has the ability of various departments to file tax returns and make up for it. It is naturally busy, so it seems that everything in the county office of Songyang County is still business as usual.

Because there are so many subordinate staff, these are the lowest-level civil servants in the imperial court system, but they also constitute a large government organization.

Speaking of which, in this dynasty, local prefectures and counties and other yamen served as servants and servants who were driven to run around, collectively referred to as yamen servants.

Specifically, there are internal classes and external classes.The inner class serves in the yamen, such as the door, the waiter, and the like, and the outer class includes the strong class, the soap class, and the fast class, as well as the grain squad.All the people who serve in the Yamen, except Kuding, Dou-level, and Minzhuang are still listed in the Qimin, including Zao Li, horse Kuai, step Kuai, pony, jailer, gatekeeper, archer, food messenger, and patrolling battalion. , are all cheap servants.

The Yamen of Songyang County provides these people with the same two meals as the servants, one is porridge in the morning and the other is a bowl of rice at noon.

The magistrate of this county, County Magistrate Ma, used to do business for several generations in his family.

After donating money to a county magistrate in this generation's family, although there have been few decent personal achievements over the years, he has always been very kind to the people below.

As far as the hall of this county government office is concerned, the interior and exterior repairs are better than ordinary county government offices. The roof tiles are hung on all sides, and the hall has a fair and dignified style, which looks like a serious government office.

In front of two stone lions looking at each other.

The two gates at the gate of the official mansion are open on all sides, with red drums standing on both sides, and a sedan chair for Ma County Magistrate is parked on the sidewalk behind.

After the two of them stepped over the threshold and entered inside, there were a few masters who were in charge of the bookkeeping side of the study sitting in the front hall, and the rest were just yamen servants who ran errands in the yamen every day.

Counting the days carefully, after today's lunch break and patrolling the streets, these officials can still take a nap in the back hall.

Usually there are no major cases, just some minor cases of stealth, and even if you are not busy, when you see the two of them coming in together, you greet them warmly.

Seeing this, they are usually very familiar with them, and a man surnamed Fucha even stopped to speak a few words with these young people.

Infucharzi and Duan Xiao are both familiar faces.

Knowing that the two of them went to Chuzhou two days ago, for example, Zhao Fuzi and the gang of yamen servants are still together.

Taking advantage of the hustle and bustle, I asked a few questions about whether the state capital is big and interesting, what the case is, and so on. Hearing this, Duan Xiao, who stood in the yamen and looked around, asked.

"The food is good today, is Liu Cen in there?"

"Oh, here we are. This morning we caught a pickpocket in the street, and Liu Cen is writing in it while interrogating the person, and at the same time making the official document for closing the case, ready to show Ma County magistrate later."

Zhao Fuzi, who was sitting and eating with the subordinates outside, pointed to the inside.

Fucha Erji and Duan Xiao came to the yamen to find Liu Cen on business.

As soon as he heard this, he wanted to go in. Just then, the other party poked his head out to have a look, as if he was busy interrogating someone. Liu Cen, the chief policeman, saw that they also opened the curtain on the door when they came back, and came out and waved his hand.

"Hey, Fucha, Duan Xiao, it's really you, you came back so soon!"

Liu Cen seemed to have no idea that they arrived this morning.

As he said that, he wanted to walk out quickly, but when the words fell, other people yelled from inside the yamen, like "My lord, I did not pickpocket" and the like.

This is the normal state of government officials handling cases.

There were a lot of gangsters who started to slap the table and make trouble when they came in. After hearing this movement, the head of the police also turned his head sternly and said this.

"Sit down for me! Aren't you the one who wanted to steal money from someone in West Street a few days ago? You are a recidivist in this area, Gui Donglin, I really don't recognize your face, do you? You want to be punished again, don’t you?”

"Hey! Detective Liu! Good-hearted Detective Liu, hurry up! This is wronging me. This, isn't it that you caught me before I succeeded? This is illegal, at least I will pay for it if it breaks the law." It's only right if you put your hand into someone's bag..."

"Gui Donglin, apart from this time, which time have you failed? I see that you regard the king's law as nothing!"

After hearing this, there was indeed a pickpocket who had just been caught by 'unfortunately' in broad daylight.

As far as he could see, the pickpocket whose hands were handcuffed by the yamen servants had just a wretched and cunning face.

With a pair of round sunglasses on his face, and a mandarin jacket like a man in the market, half of his buttocks and clinging to the bench refused to be taken down, and he also saw Fuchaerzi and Duan Xiao, the habitual pickpockets My eyes lit up.

"Hey, brother Fucha! I'm saved today. Come and testify that I'm not a bad person! I'm a law-abiding person!"

With all this dancing, Duan Xiao's face looked familiar.

It turned out that this person was Gui Donglin, one of the informants in the Stone Bodhisattva murder case.

This guy is very familiar with Fuchaerji because he has been in various gambling houses in Songyang County all year round, but because he is fond of gambling and greedy for money, his hands and feet are also very dirty, and he will be caught every day.

——I know this group of bottom-level hooligans, gamblers and villains, and I hang out with them all day long, not knowing what I want to do.

This can be regarded as one of the characteristics of a certain person in dealing with people.

Duan Xiao has never seen any serious government officials like someone like this, but obviously, Fucha Erji is not ashamed but proud, and he is quite familiar with dealing with such people.

Therefore, Fucharzi was not surprised to see him.

Going up, he hugged one of Gui Donglin's shoulders like two good brothers, and then leaned down to lie on Liu Cen's office desk, and knocked something.

"Since you stole something, you should stay in prison for two days. There is still food in this prison. Let me tell you the truth, the food in Songyang prison is better than that in Songjiang Mansion——Liu Cen, don't give me face, let him stay in there Squat for seven days, make up the whole, just right."

"Wow! Fucharzi! Okay, you won't testify against me! Just remember! When I get out of the prison, I won't buy you a drink next time!"

The conversation between Gui Donglin and Fucha Erji, a street gangster, made Liu Cen feel a little helpless.

But the education of the left and right people is over.

Gui Donglin, as an 'acquaintance' of the government, really didn't have time to succeed this time, Liu Cen looked down to see that the case was closed and the information on the owner had been collected, then he waved his hands and turned a blind eye and said something .

"Forget it, forget it, count your luck today, hurry up and leave before I change my mind, and next time I catch pickpocketing, I will really squat for seven days, understand!"

"Okay, okay! Thank you, sir! The villain will be retiring now - Fucha! Goodbye! Next time we meet again, I will buy you a drink haha!"

Seeing that he was lucky today, Gui Donglin smiled and waved his hands and ran away.

Before leaving, he even met someone's eyes.

Fucharzi, who was very casual in the government, sat with his feet crossed. He didn't speak when he saw this scene, but turned around and waved lazily at the man.

After such a fuss, Liu Cen seemed to be fine at last.

Seeing that the two of them came to the Yamen as if they had something to do together, they asked a question.

But this question turned out to be something else.

"Chen Tea?"

At this moment, inside the Songyang County Yamen.

Duan Xiao and Fucha Erji, who came here to report, incidentally informed the follow-up of the previous red sleeping shoes case, were sitting on the left and right in the criminal hall behind the court.

Both of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, leaning against the back of a chair and holding hands in silence.

But the advantage is that they are all tall and have extraordinary bearing, and some of them are taller, thinner and taller than ordinary people.

They both have very different styles.

But acting is exactly the same strong.

As for Liu Cen in front of him, he was wearing a gray-blue official uniform, and was sitting across from Zhang Gongan across from them.

At the same time, holding the small package that Fucharzi dropped on the table with one hand, he frowned and looked at something carefully.

Liu Cen is Zha Keshan, the chief police officer at the next level.

Before coming to Songyang County to be the chief criminal officer, he worked as an ordinary yamen servant for Jiang Ningcheng, who was at the next level, for five years.

A province is an institution in charge of the province's military and civilian affairs with a fixed governor and governor who is in charge of the chief ministers of each province.

The chief envoy becomes the governor, and he is in charge of the civil affairs, finance, land, household registration, money and food, official assessment, and communication with the governor of a province or several prefectures. Therefore, Liu Cen, who has worked there before, is considered a well-informed official. up.

Duan Xiao would think that this is the reason why he brought back the things seized in Chuzhou to show him.

That's also the case. Speaking of it now, recalling everything he learned from Yang Qingbing in Chuzhou before, Duan Xiao carefully talked about this matter with Liu Cen and said,

"The murder case in Chuzhou has been closed, but in the process, another incident was discovered. I heard that you used to work in Jiangning, and you have been in contact with that yamen now, so I want to ask Condition."

"Oh, it's nothing to ask about the situation. I will definitely answer you all I know, but this thing is not..."

At a glance, he seemed to be able to see what Fucharzi was holding in his hand.

Liu Cen, who was sitting in front of the closed door and talking to the two of them about serious business, also had a trace of doubt on his face, and hurriedly took the small paper bag of something similar to 'Chen Tea' and looked at it.

There was a handful of paperweights on his desk, so he took some of them out, ground them into powder in front of him, rubbed them carefully, and smelled them.

He felt that he was right.

This is the familiar thing in my impression. '

But because this thing is extremely dangerous, it was rare in the past.

So seeing that Fucha Erji and Duan Xiao went to Chuzhou and brought back such a large number of 'contraband', he also wondered where they got them.

"Yes, you read that right, this is a very considerable number of smuggled 'Ma bandits', also called Wushisan, White Leaf in Southern Province."

Fucharzi raised his head and rubbed his temples before replying.

"This is something we found on the body of a licensed shopkeeper in Chuzhou last time. The prisoner's name is Yang Qingbing. At that time, he was carrying a lot of hemp leaves that were faked as 'Chen Tea'. This kind of thing is not allowed in the government. It circulates among the common people, but he claims to have many from his family, and these are sold all over the country, and no one has ever discovered them.”

"Afterwards, the Chuzhou government checked his home and found that there were many handwritten bills in his home, pointing to Jiangning and other places in Lianzhou. He only confessed to his superiors. He was just a pawn. Other implications."

"The Chuzhou government has only taken this person into custody now, but they can't find out anything else except those few invoices, so... this time I want to ask you to investigate this matter."

These words also revealed why Fuchaerji and Duan Xiao made a special trip to the Yamen.

It turns out that once this is circulated, there is such a follow-up matter behind the "Chen Tea Tea" that will inevitably ruin the family.

Only Yang Qingbing himself was captured by the Chuzhou government that day.

However, they failed to find out from him who was behind the scenes except for the 'Chen Tea' and false manifests that were found.

Because of this kind of contraband, there must be a clear production, cultivation and sales channel. Once it can be sold in this way, there will be people behind it who will continue to provide money and power to open the door for it.

Therefore, once it is investigated, it is bound to involve a lot.

Official roads, water transportation, or some high-ranking officials and dignitaries, no one knows what will happen behind this piece of "old tea leaves".

So looking at so many people, only people like Fucha Erji and Duan Xiao have the courage to start investigating this matter.

"This matter is very involved. You don't need to tell Magistrate Ma, just investigate it first."

Duan Xiao is familiar with the officialdom, and will not act rashly until there is clear evidence, so he only said this to Liu Cen in the end.

"Okay, then thank you both in advance. Let me write a letter. Be sure to hand over the matter of 'Chen Tea' to the yamen in Jiangning Mansion to see if there have been any such things intercepted on the official road in the past six months. passed."

"Once there is news, I will immediately... find a way to inform you."
