Chapter 303 Suspect (for subscription)
In addition to Zhengyin officials, the ancient local government consisted of Liufang scribes and three classes of yamen servants.

These clerks are considered "official workers", similar to "civil servants", except that "yamen servants" have no official status.

Even though Wang Xuan needs these police officers to take over the place, it doesn't mean that these people have a high status. In fact, no matter whether it is Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, or Dynasty Ma Han, all the officers and officers have very low social status.

The first of the three classes of yamen servants is the soap class, which is mainly used as a guard of honor for the county lord or stands on both sides of the trial to frighten and punish criminals; Being a police officer is not a profession, it is a collective name. All the police officers do are arresting criminals, solving crimes, and collecting taxes.The third is the strong squad, migrant workers called temporarily, who can assist in defending the city in case of emergency and so on.

The three classes of yamen servants have no official status, which is equivalent to serving the yamen. Of course, they will be paid, but it is very low.Among them, except for the strong class, the remaining two classes of yamen servants are all untouchables, how cheap are they?
The status is the same as that of slaves and maidservants. The descendants are not allowed to take the imperial examination (three generations), and are not allowed to donate money to buy officials. Although they work for government officials, they are despised by the gentry and considered degrading. Therefore, some families are strict with their children and grandchildren. Yamen servants, because the negative impact is too great.

Officially, the status of yamen servants is so belittled, but it is not necessarily the case in real life. After all, the job of arresting people is to 'manage people', and not everyone has to go to school and take the imperial examination. Low salary, you can't even eat enough to eat, but the police don't rely on salary to eat...

However, all people in the Jianghu are under control. As the saying goes, chivalry is banned by martial arts. Officially, there is no righteous martial arts or evil martial arts. the kind of person.

The so-called good and evil are all called out by oneself in the martial arts, and the officials never admit it.

Moreover, these martial arts people never provoke officials. If they are made into wanted criminals, they will have a bad life.

So these arrests were not used to protect Wang Xuan, but to use such a name.

After settling these guys, Wang Xuan called the old butler, "Uncle Zhao, sit down, I have something to ask you."

"You can't do it." The old housekeeper waved his hands again and again, asking his master to call him "uncle" because he is still a dignified master.

For such an old man who had served him since he was a child to be called his master, Wang Xuan felt awkward no matter what.

However, the old man said he would do nothing, so Wang Xuan followed his will.

The main reason for calling the old man was to ask about the situation in the family, who the Wang family had any grudge against or what conflict of interest they had with which family, Wang Xuan didn't believe that someone would come and slaughter their family for no reason!
The old housekeeper sat there and pondered for a while, "My Wang family is kind to others everywhere, and I really don't have any enemies. If there is any hatred, then only the Wu family will be there."

"It seems that this matter was caused by the master."

"Me?" Wang Xuan was taken aback.

"Yes, the master was still young at that time, when he was in the private school, do you still remember the master Wu Jiaxin?"

Wang Xuan nodded, with some impression that he and his predecessor were classmates.

"Wu Jiaxin was very smart when he was young. At that time, the old man of the Wu family always boasted in front of the old patriarch, and he annoyed the old patriarch every time."

This is one of the most annoying creatures in the world, a child of other people's family.

"Later, when taking the test for children, the master went to the top and surpassed the other party. The old patriarch celebrated this for three days, and then he often liked to mention it in front of Patriarch Wu."

Revenge, Chiguoguo's revenge!
"Afterwards, as he grew older, Wu Jiaxin became more and more outstanding. Whether in school or outside, he was able to speak and make friends, and he knew everything about poetry and poetry. He was recognized as a talented person. At that time, the master I only know how to study hard in the room, so the Wu family often compares it in front of the old Patriarch."

Wang Xuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, bitch!
"But in the end, during the test for talent, the master once again overwhelmed the other party. For this reason, the old Patriarch once again celebrated for three days, and likes to visit Wu's house every day... I heard that Patriarch Wu vomited blood from anger."

"Pfft..." Wang Xuan couldn't help laughing, it was really inappropriate when his parents died, but he couldn't help it!

"After more than half a year, the head of the Wu family didn't come out. Later, the master buried his head in studying hard again. He didn't take part in the last township examination. Although Wu Jiaxin didn't pass the exam, he finally participated. The master of the Wu family began to laugh at the master again. I am stupid in studying, I have exhausted my talents, I dare not even take the exam, what is too old may not be good... The angry old Patriarch always walks around Wu's house."

Bitch is hypocritical!

"As a result of this rural examination..."

There is no need for the old housekeeper to tell Wang Xuan that he already knows. This time, four people won the provincial examination in Fuzhou Prefecture, but there is nothing wrong with Wu Jiaxin. Visiting Wu's house for half a year...

emmmmmmm, just thinking about it is terrifying... Old Wu is afraid that he will be gassed into the coffin!
I don't know how lacking the entertainment life of the ancients was, to make such a big deal out of such a small matter!

Moreover, this predecessor is also a talent, not as useless as he imagined, but also a little expert in pretending to be B!

Think about it, modern people will have the desire to kill because of selling watermelons and quarreling with people. What's more, this is no longer a quarrel, visiting people's houses... Think about that scene...

This matter, do something!
My 'father' is also a talent, why don't you get a pennant to hang in front of his house.

Really...

In this way, the Wu family had a motive for the murder.

Other than that, the old butler couldn't say anything else, he was just a butler, and he didn't know anything about the master's business outside the city or the farm outside the city.

To some extent, this can be regarded as getting some news. After the housekeeper left, Wang Xuan rested in the mourning hall.

He is the only son in the family, and he must do this job.

If there is nothing to say all night, the next day they will go out of the city to be buried. In the midsummer season, the corpse cannot be parked for too long.

The family's ancestral grave is near the manor outside the city. The manor is on the edge of the Minjiang River. It is a large paddy field with a size of over a thousand mu, which has been accumulated by several generations of the Wang family.

Although the Wang family's cloth business is also doing well, the thousand acres of land is the real foundation of the Wang family.

The fast catcher was called Dai Yutang, and he did his best. He brought six yamen servants and followed Wang Xuan to the outside of the city, which was considered to be personal protection for Wang Xuan.

Of course, this is because of Wang Xuan's status on the one hand, and more importantly, the magistrate's orders.
