Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Chapter 3: Suzhou Government Office

Da Song’s policeman’s uniform is very good-looking, with black-bottomed and red-edged clothes, fast boots with a thin bottom and high brim, a hat with sharp edges and corners on his head, and a steel knife with a sheath on his waist. He walks like a tiger. Hu Shengfeng, even if he is not so strong, looks quite domineering.

Xu Zizhen couldn't help being a little disappointed that the woman in black didn't follow, but it was normal after thinking about it. Even if she helped to report to an officer, she was still a burglar after all, and she was not in the same way as a fast catcher.

The head catcher who led the team came over, with a burly figure and sharp eyes, but his attitude towards Xu Zizhen was quite kind, and he cupped his fists and said, "Brother, please come with us."

Xu Zizhen got up straight away, and Mo Lier had already handed over a steaming handkerchief. Such a small gentle gesture made him feel less depressed that night.

Eight detectives brought four kidnappers, more than a dozen kidnapped female tickets, and Xu Zizhen, the hero who saved lives, to the Suzhou government office.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the district above the Fuzhou Military Supervision was called "Lu". The Mabu Army of the Forbidden Army Military Region is the general manager and other military officials, and concurrently serves as the magistrate of a certain prefecture.

Suzhou Mansion is affiliated to Jiangnan East Road, and Wen Chengyan, the magistrate, is also the pacifier of this road.

These are all Xu Zizhen heard from chatting with those officials along the way. He has no concept of official ranks, but it is just converted to the region of his time. Calculated that the prefect of Wen can manage almost half of Jiangsu, and he is also a high-ranking official.

To Xu Zizhen's surprise, Wen Zhifu had already sat in front of the hall and waited for them. You must know that it is not long before dawn, and usually the bigger the official, the bigger the shelf. It is rare to see Wen Zhifu as diligent. The first impression of Wen Chengyan in my heart was the word "good official".

A large group of people had already crowded outside the Yamen of Suzhou Mansion. They were the parents and close relatives of the dozen or so missing girls. When they came back, they all rushed over excitedly, and the dozen or so women couldn't care about anything else, they went up to their relatives and cried.

There was a commotion outside the yamen, the head catcher who led the team waited for them to cry enough, stepped forward to separate the people, and brought them all into the hall.

The four kidnappers were thrown on the ground, and the dozen or so women bowed in unison to the hall, and said softly: "Ministers pay respects to your lord."

Seeing the well-behaved appearance of those women, Xu Zizhen felt a little troubled. He had just come to the Northern Song Dynasty not long ago, and he didn't know how to salute when he met an official, so he was afraid that an accident would make people laugh.

Prefect Wen didn't care about this. Seeing him scratching his ears and cheeks in the hall, he smiled faintly, waved to the side, and moved a round stool with four legs to the side: "Strong man, please sit down."

Xu Zizhen was greatly surprised, and he cupped his fists up like the routine on TV: "Villain Xu Zizhen, thank you sir." As he spoke, he sneaked a glance at Governor Wen.

Old handsome guy!When he saw Wen Chengyan for the first time, he had such a sudden idea. Prefect Wen was wearing a red robe with a round neck and large sleeves, a leather belt around his waist, a straight head on his head, and his face was like a crown and his eyes were like stars. , The three long beards flicked gently with the nod, not only the demeanor of a school of Confucianism, but also the prestige of a third-rank official.

"boom!"

Prefect Wen patted the gavel, and shouted: "Long Lang Qiankun, you dare to rob a woman from a good family in broad daylight, can you be convicted?"

Those robbers were kicked or poked with sticks from time to time by those big girls all night. Brother Hei even rolled his eyelids and let out a sneer.

Seeing it, Xu Zizhen was secretly amazed. Judging from their appearance, either they had a huge backer behind them, and the backer was not young, so they didn't take Wen Zhifu seriously at all, or they had already Knowing that he was bound to die, he had no intention of denying his sophistry at all, so he simply waited for death as a bachelor.

I have seen arrogant ones, but I have never seen such arrogant ones. The sufferers who watched the trial have already shouted, and they have asked the prefect Wen to punish the four thieves.

Zhifu Wen frowned slightly, but remained calm. The evidence was solid, and he didn't talk nonsense. He directly ordered the four thieves to be beaten forty times, and finally decided a decisive decision.

The dozen or so women in the hall and the people who were interrogating outside the hall were all grateful. They sang "Master Qingtian" in unison to the hall. Prefect Wen comforted the crowd with a smile, but beckoned Xu Zizhen to them, and they retreated back to the inner hall together.

Xu Zizhen was thinking about what to do in the future. He didn't expect Wen Zhifu to call him, but he was taken aback. His appearance didn't look like a person from the Song Dynasty, and he was afraid that they would check his identity. I really don't know how to explain it, but the prefect Wen looked very friendly and probably wouldn't do anything to him, so he hesitated for a while and followed in.

When he came to the inner hall, seeing his confused look, Governor Wen couldn't help smiling and said: "Mr. Xu Zhuang doesn't need to be restrained. The government is just asking about the details of this case. Please sit down."

Oh, just to make a routine transcript, Xu Zizhen immediately felt relieved and sat down carelessly.

"Xu Zhuangshi, I don't know what those thieves said at that time?"

Prefect Wen went straight to the point, Xu Zizhen thought about it carefully, and repeated the conversations of those robbers almost word for word. Prefect Wen frowned slightly, obviously these few conversations were extremely ordinary, and there was no trace of them can be found.

At this time, someone coughed lightly outside the door, and then a big man walked in, it was the head catcher who led the team in the morning.

Prefect Wen introduced to Xu Zizhen: "This is the head arrester of our government. His surname is Lei and his name is Zhen."

Xu Zizhen stood up and made a nondescript fist-cup salute: "Lei Butou."

As a head catcher, Lei Zhen didn't have the slightest airs. He saluted seriously and respectfully, then turned and stood aside.

Prefect Wen waved his hands and said with a smile: "Xu Zhuangshi sit down, I asked Lei Zhen to come over to bother Xu Zhuangshi."

Can I help you with something?Xu Zizhen was taken aback, and looked at Butou Lei.

Lei Zhen nodded, took up the topic, and asked in a deep voice: "Xu Zhuangshi fought those thieves before, can you practice their tricks?"

Xu Zizhen pondered for a moment, then stood up: "I probably still remember something, that little black brother is holding a knife..." He didn't care if it was in the inner hall, he pulled the knife around Lei Butou's waist, and pressed it Flicked a few times in memory.

He has no background in martial arts, and he has never played this kind of waist knife. These few dances are messy, but he still has some tricks like little black brother.

Lei Zhen frowned after watching his flurry of dances, and pondered: "My lord, the saber technique used by Xu Zhuangshi seems to have the shadow of Qingcheng Dao and the appearance of Taizu Kuai Dao. It's just that Xu Zhuangshi learned it. ...Subordinates dare not make judgments on their own."

Qingcheng sword technique is the kung fu of Sichuan Qingcheng school. Its moves are simple and fierce, but it is not a unique skill. Most of the people in the world who know how to use swords can do it a few times. Taizu Kuaidao has some origins. According to legend, it was Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin So, this kind of saber technique has no fancy movements, and the knife goes straight to the vital point. It is the most basic saber technique in the army, and it is often used when fighting in battle.

Xu Zizhen didn't know this, neither did Wen Zhifu's literati, but Lei Zhen, the head catcher, knew it all. When he said this, Wen Zhifu frowned even deeper.

Seeing Wen Zhifu's pensive look, Xu Zizhen felt a little embarrassed: "That... Mr. Wen, I haven't practiced Kung Fu, so I may be a little out of shape."

Prefect Wen was not angry when he interrupted his thoughts, but he suddenly realized another problem: "Xu Zhuangshi, just now you said you don't know kung fu, so how did you fight against the four thieves alone?"

Xu Zizhen organized his language, and said: "I don't know the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty, but I know another kind of kung fu, which is called boxing in our place."

Prefect Wen wondered: "Oh? What is fighting technique? Can we let the prefecture see it?"

Headhunter Lei Zhen is a martial idiot, and his eyes started to light up when he heard the new word "fighting", Xu Zizhen didn't shirk it, stood up and smiled at Lei Zhen: "Lei Headhunter, let's try a few tricks for Mr. Wen to see." ? But you have to be merciful."

Lei Zhen stepped forward and waved his fist, and shouted: "Please!"

The two of them didn't talk nonsense, they just started fighting. Lei Zhen has a good foundation, and every move shows his skill. He clenched his hands slightly, looking like he didn't have enough to eat.

But after a few moves, Lei Zhen started to have a headache. Xu Zizhen's moves didn't follow the routine at all. Every move was simple and direct. He could attack everywhere with punches, feet, elbows, knees and even his head. If he was ruthless, he could Victory over him, but firstly, if this happens, he will also be injured, and secondly, this is a competition under the care of adults, and it is impossible to play it for real.

More than [-] rounds have passed, and the two of them still come and go, and there is no winner. Wen Zhifu finally called a stop, waved his hands with a smile and said: "Come on, Xu Zhuangshi is really good at it, and the government is counting today." eyesight."

Xu Zizhen withdrew his hand and straightened his clothes, sat back again, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, you are welcome. I can fight with ordinary people. If I really want to meet a master like Lei Butou, I will be killed."

Wen Zhifu saw that he was skilled enough to think clearly, but he was so humble and low-key, and smiled slightly: "I don't know what Xu Zhuangshi does for a living now?"

Speaking of this, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said the words he made up on the road: "My ancestors went out to sea for business a long time ago, until my parents passed away a few days ago, and before they died, they asked me to return to the Song Dynasty, which is also the meaning of returning to the roots. , No, this happened to me when I first came to Suzhou... To tell you the truth, let alone earning a living, now I'm completely broke, and I don't even have breakfast today."

So that's the case, Wen Zhifu nodded secretly, and said: "I don't know if Xu Zhuangshi is willing to stay in my Suzhou Mansion as a policeman?"

Xu Zizhen couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.catch fast?This is a public office, so I am eating the emperor's rations?

He didn't think much about it, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, thank you sir!"

As soon as Xu Zizhen left, a graceful figure suddenly appeared from a small door in the inner hall, looked at his back and said softly: "To be a police officer with his frizzy temperament, I'm afraid you will have to suffer some hardships. "

If Xu Zizhen hadn't left, his jaw would have dropped in shock. Isn't this the female snitch?

Prefect Wen stood up the moment she appeared, stood aside with a respectful expression, and said with a smile: "I think that there are others who will suffer."
