I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 195 Female Detective

 Except those who are raised to perform monkey tricks.

The Baiyun City Square is becoming more and more lively now. From morning to night, there are monkey performers.

 Of course there are also those who sell tricks, perform acrobatics, and sing ditties, most of whom have escaped from the north.

Baiyun City is much better than they imagined. Not to mention how much money they make, the most important thing is that they have gained a "stability" that they have never had before.

 They rely on craftsmanship to make a living, and they have never had any trouble from the police or street gangsters.

 After paying the so-called garbage cleaning fee, the money you earn every day belongs to you!

This was completely unimaginable in the past!

 These are truly peaceful days here!

Of course, street performers will inevitably be looked down upon.

However, they didn’t take it seriously.

 After all, they make their living by pleasing their customers, so what does it mean to get scolded?

This does not mean that they are cowards and easy to bully.

They are more familiar with the rules of Baiyun City than the locals. If anyone dares to push them into a hurry, they will spend a copper coin to find a lawyer to write a complaint and file a lawsuit directly!

 Hence, there are more and more lawsuits in the Chief Secretary’s Yamen.

Shanqi was really tired of dealing with it alone, so he simply informed the prince and pulled Shi Quan over.

After all, Shi Quan had served as a general judge in Yongzhou, and he was much better than Shan Qi in litigation.

 Sometimes, Shan Qi would ask Shi Quan for advice on cases that Shan Qi didn’t understand.

Now in the Chief Secretary's Yamen, the two of them take turns sitting in the courtroom. From time to time, Xie Zan, Chen Desheng and others will come over to help try two cases.

Some cases cannot be decided in a day or two, and they cannot be sent directly to beheading or forced labor.

 It turned out that the prison in the Chief Secretary's Office could no longer meet the demand, so a new prison was built near the Chief Secretary's office.

 Nowadays, Sanhe Prison has become a daunting place for many people.

In the past, there were fewer and fewer people who liked to hang out in front of the Chief Secretary's Yamen and watch the excitement.

Fang Pi stood with Hong An at the door of the Chief Secretary's Yamen. From time to time he stretched his head inside and asked in confusion, "Hong An, do you really want to be a female detective?"

Hong An nodded and said, "I'm fifteen, and I've already told Sister Mingyue that I don't want to study anymore. I get a headache from reading."

Fang Pi nodded and said, "I also get a headache from reading. Being a female detective must be very majestic."

 He is seventeen years old this year.

 Unknowingly, it has been three years since he came to Sanhe.

While the two were talking, there was another woman behind them. She was dressed in a smart outfit and was looking at the eight characters on the screen wall in the Yamen courtyard: "Legacy for confession, leniency for refusal".

 “Sister Jiangzhen!”

Hong An shouted in surprise.

 The two were classmates in the girls' school and were no strangers to each other.

 “Sister Jiangzhen!”

Fang Pi followed and shouted.

 “Fangpi, you deserve another beating.”

 Jiang Zhen glared at him angrily.

Fang Pi shrank his neck in fright.

This woman can hit people very hard, and he can't afford to offend her.

Hong An said, "Are you also here to be a female detective?"

 “Isn’t today the official registration day?”

Jiang Zhen sighed and said, "I can't stay at home anymore. If I go to Li Sanniang's place, my father will make trouble every day, which will cause trouble to Sanniang. So, I have no choice but to come to this Yamen. I don't believe he still dares to come." The Yamen is causing trouble."

Hong An said, "Aren't you going to study too?"

"read?"

Jiang Zhen said, "The junior high school building hasn't been built yet. Even if it is built, my father won't let me go. He wants me to get married. I don't like those junk things."

Hong An said, "It's getting late, let's go in."

 Jiang Zhen said hello, and the two of them entered the yamen, while Fang Pi waited outside alone.

The detectives on duty at the door knew the two girls. After letting them in, they directly pointed out the location of the arresting room.

 The two of them turned left and right, and after bypassing three small doors, their eyes suddenly opened up.

 “Brother Wang.”

Hong An said hello to Wang Xu, who was standing in the yard holding a stone lock.

Wang Xu pointed towards a room and said, "The head is inside, go in by yourselves."

Hong An glanced at Shisuo and said in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Without waiting for Wang Xu to answer, he said with a smile, "What can I do if you are punished."

 “You girl, talk…”

Wang Xu gritted his teeth and said, "I have the same temperament as you, and I am merciless with my mouth."

 Jiang Zhen said with a pout, "I'm different from him!"

Hook Hong An's hand and go straight into the house.

Chen Xinluo was lying on his back on the chair, rubbing his brow with both hands. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he sat up straight.

 “Chen Captou…”

 “Brother Chen…”

Hong An glanced at Jiang Zhen in surprise.

 Big brother?

 Are the two of you so familiar?

 “Sit down, you’re welcome,”

 Chen Xinluo stood up and poured tea for the two of them himself, "It's hot, so it's good to drink tea."

One is Manager Hong’s beloved disciple, and the other is Mingyue’s favorite disciple, but he can’t afford to offend either of them.

 “Thank you, Brother Chen,”

 Jiang Zhen said with a smile, "Both of us are here to report. Please take care of Brother Chen in the future."

 “Look out for each other,”

 Chen Xinluo sat down again and said with a smile, "There are twenty-three people in front of the female catcher. The head catcher is Cao Xiaohuan. Adding the two of you, there will be twenty-five people in the future."

 Jiang Zhen said, "Wu Cao's family?"

 “What is the Wu Cao family?”

Chen Xinluo smiled and said, "Cao Xiaohuan has reconciled with her husband Wu Debang."

 Jiang Zhen said, “It turns out it’s really her.”

I think back then, the Wu Cao family in West Street beat up the man Wu Debang, and then the Chief Secretary's Yamen filed a lawsuit and asked for a divorce, which shocked the entire Baiyun City.

Chen Xinluo nodded and said, "From now on, just follow her and listen to her in everything.

 Yamen is no better than you are at home or in school. There are rules here, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to protect you. "

I added silently in my heart, unless your master protects you!

"yes."

 The two said in unison.

 “That’s good.”

Chen Xinluo shouted outside, "Wang Xu!"

 “Hey, here it comes!”

Wang Xu threw the stone lock with a bang and ran into the house. While wiping his sweat, he said, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

Chen Xinluo snorted coldly, "I'll spare you first, and take them to Cao Baotou first."

 “Thank you, head,”

Wang Xu raised his hands happily and said, "You two girls, come with me."

 The two of them followed him and actually left the Chief Secretary's Yamen.

 Jiang Zhen said, "Are we not going to be in the Yamen anymore?"

Wang Xu said, "According to the prince's request, the prison has male and female prisoners. The male prisoners are naturally all men, and the female prisoners are naturally all women. The men are guarded by male guards, and the women are guarded by female guards.

There are only a few of you female detectives, just enough to guard the female prison, so we simply live there.

Although it is right behind the Yamen, it is not a gate. You have to go around from this side. "

 Jiang Zhen smiled and said, "Wang Captou, your words are too convoluted."

Hong An said, "Then we can only stay in jail and not go out to handle cases?"

Wang Xu smiled and said, "This is also to take care of you. Girls are not good at fighting and killing."

Hong An said slowly and leisurely, "Brother Wang, I have entered the seventh rank."

 “This is what the prince said.”

Wang Xu looked at Hong An's deflated expression and wanted to laugh heartily.

 If you have the ability, go find the prince!

 Let's see if your master will break your legs.
