The God of Martial Arts

Chapter 30
In the early morning, when the sun is rising, the birds are chirping on the branches, like a never-tiring singer; on the ground, above the flowers and plants, there is morning dew that is crystal clear and bright.

Xiang Yang got up early to wash, and then changed into the police uniform that Fu Dachun brought back for him. It was made of light blue brocade material, and there was a golden border on the high collar, which looked quite heroic.
Hanging his catcher's badge on his waist, Xiang Yang took the Yanling knife, went to Xiang Danu's spirit tablet, put on a stick of incense, then hurried out, and went straight to the yamen without even eating breakfast.

In Anyuan County, the government office is located in the county seat. The building of the government office is quite magnificent. The two stone lions are lifelike, mighty and domineering,

The front gate is the place where ordinary people beat drums to complain. After passing through the gate, there is a small courtyard paved with stone slabs more than 20 meters long, and after that is the place where the county magistrate is promoted.

"Captain Xiang, come to the county office? Catcher Wang is waiting for you in the back hall, go quickly."

Behind the stone lion, on the steps, the two servants in front of the gate of the county government looked enviously at Xiang Yang, who was dressed in a light blue police uniform, and said, "Who will let someone have a good father?"
You must know that Xiang Yang was just a yamen servant in the past, but now he is promoted to an official arrest like a rocket, and those whose names are recorded in the official book of the county yamen are much higher than their status.

Xiang Yang greeted the two of them with a smile and entered the main hall. There were four square and powerful characters hanging high above the mirror, which perfectly set off the majesty and atmosphere of the Yamen.

But there is no case at this time, and the county magistrate is not in the lobby. There are only two or three yamen servants rubbing their eyes sleepily and lazily leaning against the wall on the ground. shaking hands,

"Old Ren, wake up, if the county magistrate sees it, this month's drink money will be confiscated."

A skinny man in his fifties on the ground opened his eyes. He was a little impatient at first, but when he saw that it was Xiang Yang, he laughed and stood up supporting the shoulders of a young man next to him. He took a look at Xiang Yang and nodded.
"What a handsome young man, he is much better than your father. From now on, he will work hard for the Yamen, and his future is boundless."

Xiang Yang nodded, this man is the oldest yamen servant in Anyuan County, he was a yamen servant like Xiang Daniu at the beginning, and later Xiang Daniu became a fast catcher, he is still a yamen servant, and he has not changed for so many years.

However, this person is also a meek and contented person, with no ambitions or ambitions. He has been here for so many years. Now he is a veteran of the yamen, and he gets along well with everyone. Xiang Yang used to work with him.

"Well, thanks to Lao Ren, don't go home at noon today. I'll buy you a drink."

After exchanging pleasantries with Lao Ren, Xiang Yang entered the back hall of the yamen, and saw the head catcher Wang Ying standing in front of a refined middle-aged man, nodding his head from time to time, promising something.

This middle-aged man is Li Zhizhi, the magistrate of Li County in Anyuan County. He has a thin face, eyes full of wisdom, and extremely neatly combed hair. He is dressed in a blue official uniform and wears a gray-brown jade finger wrench. .

"Xiang Yang has seen the county magistrate, Wang Tou, and it is really wrong to come to the county government to report after staying at home for so long."

When Xiang Yang saw the two of them, he clasped his fists and bowed in a bow, with a respectful face.

Li County Magistrate and Wang Butou saw Xiang Yang's behavior and appreciated it very much. Although they allowed Xiang Yang to rest and adjust at home for a period of time, they were afraid that young people would not know the heights of heaven and earth, and thought that the county government was theirs. opened at home.

"It's okay, Xiaoxiang, from now on you will inherit the position of Daniel, and you will be on duty under Wang Ying's men, so you must learn a lot and be cautious in your words and deeds.

Also, Daniel stood up for the common people, killed the bandits with all his strength, and strengthened my reputation in Anyuan. I set aside 30 taels of silver from the treasury as a compensation reward, and you can go to Master Fang to receive it. "

Seeing Xiang Yang's extraordinarily heroic appearance in his police uniform, County Magistrate Li sighed a little when he thought of Xiang Daniu.

He knew that Xiang Daniu had been working hard all these years, but he had a pimple in his heart, thinking that Xiang Daniu's benefactor was always his previous county magistrate, and he couldn't trust him, so he didn't promote him.

"Do it well. One day in the future, if you do well, I recommend you to go to the God Catchment School in Qingjiang Mansion for further studies."

Xiang Yang was inexplicably pleasantly surprised. Entering the God of Catchment was also the thing he wanted to do most after avenging Xiang Daniu, and it was also his next goal. Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Li would give him this opportunity, so he hurriedly gave a few big gifts. , I was very grateful for the promise in my mouth, and I just said that I went up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire for County Magistrate Li.

County magistrate Li nodded with a smile, and asked Wang Ying to take Xiang Yang down. He is the ruler of a county, and he has to decide all matters big and small in the county.

Following Wang Ying to the resting place in the back hall, Xiang Yang felt a little nervous, and his breathing was a little short. At least one-third of the person in front of him might be the mastermind behind the murder of Xiang Daniu, and there were even more The big one may be a powerful warrior, and his reaction is normal.

But Wang Ying felt that it was not normal. She turned her head and looked at Xiang Yang, showing a kind smile, "What? Still excited? God's catcher is indeed the best way for us people to advance, but the danger is too great Many, it can be said that there are pros and cons, Uncle Wang thinks you should be more cautious.

While talking, the two entered a small square courtyard with seven empty rooms. In the center of the courtyard, there were wooden dummy stakes and various tools for practicing martial arts and strength.

"We are the police officers who hunt down criminals, investigate evidence, and usually go to the streets and alleys of the county to maintain law and order, so we don't need an office space. This place seems a bit deserted and simple. Don't dislike it."

Wang Ying said, entertaining Xiang Yang to sit down on a stool beside the stone table in the yard, and continue to explain to him some of the situation in the county, including Xiang Yang's main work in the future.

After listening to it, Xiang Yang has a general understanding. No wonder the catcher only has three renminbi a month and belongs to the low-paying class, but he is still the envy of ordinary people. Without him, he earns too much.

For example, he, Xiang Yang, has no case now. His duty is to patrol the streets and alleys to see if there are any criminal acts.

"My father is too honest. He doesn't accept the money. No wonder the relationship with these colleagues is mediocre. Everyone accepts it, but you don't.

The reason is very simple, everyone has collected the money, that is the person on the same boat, if you don’t accept it, it doesn’t mean that you are upright, it just reflects the filth and unbearableness of other people, such people may be liked by ordinary people, but colleagues definitely don’t like.

"You've been tired these few days. Go to the county to patrol more. We have an important case to deal with, so we can't get away. It'll be fine after a while."

Xiang Yang expressed his understanding. Newcomers in the workplace, can you expect to take you to handle any major and important cases?He would be satisfied if he didn't start with serving tea and water, not to mention the extra money he could earn from patrolling the streets, he couldn't wish for it.
