Chapter 488 The Prefect Official Seal Loss Case

Tian Nizi strolled into the room, looked around, saw that the room was poorly furnished, but tidy and clean, sat down on Yang Tashan's bed inside, touched the mattress, Said: "Brother Yang, your bed is fine in summer, but what will you do in winter? I'm afraid you'll have to build an earth kang to win it, or you'll freeze to death. Qingyang is cold in winter."

Yang Tashan said with a smile: "Anyway, it's still early, I want to earn more money, buy a house by myself, and then I'll take care of it."

"Oh, yes, a brick and tile house with a yard in Qingyang costs about thirty taels. The adobe house is cheaper, about twenty taels, which is not too expensive. As for the wooden house, although it is cheap, Ten or two would do, but I advise my brother not to buy it, the wooden house is as hot as a steamer in summer, and as cold as an ice hole in winter, it’s a real pain."

Yang Tashan's head grew big when he heard it, and the adobe house cost 20 taels?Now I only have two taels, which is enough for one-tenth, and the money I earn from part-time jobs is just enough to eat and pay rent.If you want to save enough 20 taels, I don’t know if you have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Of course Tian Nizi knew about Yang Tashan's situation, sighed, and said, "Brother Yang, you've been working all day long, running around if you have work or not. in ah.

Yang Tashan smiled wryly, he never wanted to find a long-term job, but where could he find it.

Tian Nizi thought for a while and said: "I told you that I have a cousin who works in the yamen of the prefect of Qingyang. I originally wanted him to help you find a job in the yamen, as a slave or a policeman. What's the matter, especially with your martial arts skills, you are the most suitable to be a catcher, but my sister-in-law is afraid that you will dislike the low life of the yamen, so she has been reluctant to open her mouth..."

The work in the yamen refers to the three classes of yamen servants, that is, the soap class on duty, the fast class for arrests, and the strong class with weak skills. Workers, cooks, cooks, umbrella fan bearers, etc. belonged to the untouchables in ancient times. They were not forced by life, and generally they would not easily engage in this industry.However, some of these industries, such as Zaoban and Kuaiban (catchers and Kuaishou, commonly known as catchers), are not easy to enter because they have some powers and can engage in some legal extortion businesses.

Of course, Yang Tashan knew that once he became a yamen servant, he would be a pariah. However, he ran around and worked hard, but he didn't have much glory. In the past ten days, he worked hard and was tired. After working so hard, he earned less than a hundred wen, and after deducting the rent and living expenses, there were only a little over ten wen left.If things go on like this, let alone earning money to buy a house, raising a family will become a problem.

As for the untouchables not being able to take the imperial examination, I don't have the ability to think about it.But thinking about seeing the skinny monkey catching them fast in the past two days, it is faster to get money, and the money seems to be some rules. If I do this job myself, I have some hope of earning money to buy a house.Said: "Sister-in-law of the host family, if there is such a way, I don't dislike it, but I heard from the people in the yamen that if you want to enter six doors, you need to spend some money to go through the way..."

When Tian Nizi heard that Yang Tashan was moved, she stood up full of joy, slapped him twice with the round fan, and said with a smile: "That's an outsider, you are my brother, and you have done my family such a favor. I've been thinking about doing you a favor before I won. Since you don't dislike the work of the Yamen, that's great. You don't care about other things. I'll help you out, and I'll go find my brother. I'll find you a job as a police officer, just wait for news from my sister-in-law!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"You...!" Tian Nizi slapped him lovingly with the round fan, "I'm going first, I'll let you know as soon as I have news!" After finishing speaking, she waved the round fan and took the little girl away.

Since he had to wait for news from Tian Nizi, Yang Tashan didn't bother to look for work, for fear that they would not be able to find him and delay things.

The room was stuffy, Yang Tashan sat down on the bench at the door, Xing'er brought him a cup of tea.He took a cattail fan, sat down beside him, and fanned it for Yang Tashan.

Yang Tashan was still a bit hesitant to enter the six doors, so he asked Xing'er, "Tell me, young master, can I be a fast catcher?"

Xing'er knew that once she was classified as a pariah, it would affect the three generations. She dared not influence Yang Tashan's judgment on such a big matter, but since the young master asked, she couldn't avoid it.Fanning the fan, he said: "No matter what the young master does, Xing'er will follow the young master."

Yang Tashan smiled and twisted Xing'er's face: "You are cunning, you refuse to take responsibility!"

Xing'er giggled: "Xing'er just thinks that the young master is a person with ideas, so Xing'er dare not speak nonsense."

"I don't dare to say if I have an idea, but I found that I am better at solving cases. I also have a box of treasures specially used for solving cases. If I don't use it and go to work as a coolie all day, isn't it a bit wasteful?"

"That's right! That day at the restaurant, the young master solved the case of self-stealing by guards. It was really exciting. The young master has such a good ability. If you really want to catch him quickly, you can get a lot of rewards for solving the case alone!"

"Haha, you still think this young master can be a fast catcher, don't you? You've told your true thoughts after all."

Xing'er blushed and lowered her head.

Yang Tashan smiled and said: "I know you are afraid of poverty, and I am also afraid of poverty. What we lack now is money. We need to make money to make ends meet. We can earn money to buy houses and land to live on. If we rely on coolies and part-time jobs, we can make ends meet Don’t think about anything else. I don’t want you to live a hard life with me, and I don’t want to live a hard life myself. So, whether it’s to use what I’ve learned or to earn more money to live a better life, I decided to Now, as long as you have a way, you should be an arrester!"

Xing'er was also very happy to hear that Yang Tashan had made up his mind.

Yang Tashan took the cattail leaf fan from Xing'er's hand and fanned it himself, saying: "Go ahead and get the insoles, I'm waiting to wear them."

Xing'er nodded, picked up the insole and put it away with flying stitches.Yang Tashan fanned the two of them while gossiping with her.

At this time, I suddenly heard footsteps, and then I heard the landlord's voice saying: "Go this way, the official, they live in this house."

Yang Tashan turned his face and saw that the landlord brought two people over, but it was the thin monkey and the rabbit's teeth. When the two saw Yang Tashan, they all smiled and bowed their hands in salute.

Yang Tashan was a little surprised, he stood up and bowed his hands to return the salute, and said with a smile: "It's really a rare visitor, what brought the two officials here?"

"If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, we came here to ask the little brother for help! It's so hard to find you here. We asked the shopkeeper of Weixiang Restaurant, then ran here to ask the head of the village, and then asked the landlord next to him. You come here." After the thin monkey turned around and thanked the landlord, the landlord left.

Yang Tashan was even more surprised. The two police officers took so much effort to find him, there must be something urgent, so they hurriedly said, "Please sit down, you two! It's stuffy in the room, just sit by the door!"

Xing'er quickly put down the insole, ran into the house and took two stools and put them at the door, and poured two cups of tea for the two police officers.

After the two sat down, the thin monkey looked around first, and then said: "Little brother, the place you live in is too rough."

Yang Tashan smiled: "Is there any way, we are hardworking, it would be great if we can find a place to live. How can we be picky and picky?"

The thin monkey smiled and said: "Little brother is too modest. You are full of martial arts, and you do the work for others. You don't want to take so many ways to make money, but you go to do the work. Isn't it... this... It's a waste of brother's good ability Have you? Brother, have you considered doing something easy and easy to get money?"

"Hey, although it's hard work, I live a peaceful life. I don't want to do those business without capital."

"Little brother misunderstood," the thin monkey hurriedly said with a smile, "I mean, brother solves cases like a god, why don't you use this skill, it's not as fast as you earn money by carrying a lot of money, and you can also uphold justice and bring justice to justice. .”

Yang Tashan's heart moved, and he asked: "Officer, I don't quite understand what you said, can you speak up?"

The thin monkey said: "Okay, let's talk quickly, we came to find the little brother today, and we want to ask the little brother for a favor."

"What help?"

The thin monkey looked at the rabbit-tooth catcher next to him, and then said in a low voice: "They are all my own people, and I ask my brother for help, so I will not hide it from my brother. That's how it is, Mr. Han, the prefect of Han in Qingyang Prefecture The...official seal is lost..."

ah?Yang Tashan let out a low cry, of course he knew what it meant to lose his official seal, at least he would be dismissed from office, and at worst he would be arrested and questioned.

This is a big deal, these two people must not be able to handle it, so they come to ask themselves.This is a good opportunity to take a look at the market first, and then decide on the price. Help is not in vain.

Yang Tashan didn't speak, just smiled and waited quietly for them to talk.

The thin monkey glanced at Yang Tashan, and smiled wryly: "It happened the day before yesterday. The master set a three-day limit, and it expires tomorrow. If we can't get back the official seal, we will be severely punished by the master. In the past two days, we have tried our best, but we have no clue. There is really no way out. Thinking of you, little brother, you are very good at solving crimes, so I want to ask you to help me. Help us."

Yang Tashan smiled lightly: "The official is serious. How can I solve any case? That day, I just hit the wrong one. A blind cat met a dead mouse."

"Brother is too humble. You solved that case with real skills. It didn't happen by chance. We can still see this. Brother, don't worry, as long as you help us solve this case, the magistrate If the master's official seal is found, we will definitely reward you with a lot of money!"
