Chapter 2 The Loyalty of a Friend of Poverty and Humbleness (")

Caishi Street Inspection Office is the most inconspicuous inspection office in the entire Dongdu - the dilapidated six doors. It has been many years old. The tables and chairs are missing, and even the teacup is full of gaps. People with a little bit of access are unwilling to work in this slum inspection office. They can't get any oil and water, and they are also prone to encountering bandits. They just want to pay three taels of silver every month. Is it worth it?

The older inspections are all as slippery as loaches. Every day, when you come to the inspection office, you just drink tea, play dice, and brag. What you do for your life? Leave it to the young and strong young man.

It was almost dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun entered the inspection office. Seven or eight elderly inspectors sat lazily in the office, each carrying a bowl of tea, chatting about the lively thing. They only need to spend the last time to go home for dinner.

"Everyone, take a look at me. If I were twenty years younger, how could it be Xiaofei's turn to take hydrangeas today? I was also the most famous handsome man in Caishi Street back then!" Zhao Jia, the inspector, put down his teacup, carried his hands on his back, and slowly shook his eyes in front of the inspectors.

His tall and raised belly, crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and gray hair on his sideburns immediately caused his colleagues to burst into laughter.

Another team leader Chang Xuan held back his laughter and reached out to pat Zhao Jia's belly and said, "I said Lao Zhao, don't show off. We are different from each other. Xiaofei is a new inspector. Today he took the hydrangea and made him a success. You used to wear small shoes for others when you had nothing to do. I advise you to find a way to flatter others early, otherwise, you, the team leader, might not be able to do it at any time."

Zhao Jia's face changed. When he recalled his past to Qin Fei, his heart was like a big stone was pressed on. It was so uncomfortable. But he forced himself to squeeze out a smile and said, "You can't be made of a weapon without being carved. I'm strict with Xiaofei, that's why he can become a talent. Xiaofei is a smart person, and he will understand my intention. Please don't make trouble!"

The remaining inspectors have worked with Zhao Jia for at least ten years. How could they not know that he is now holding on to the storefront? Old Xu, who was sitting in the corner, coughed gently and changed the topic: "To be honest, Xiaofei's future father-in-law is really an amazing person. Xiaofei follows him and his future will be bright."

Several inspectors nodded slowly. If we were to say that in Chu, except for the emperor, the censor Tang Yin was the most famous. Decades ago, when the world was still a quarter of the world, there were four countries in Wei, Tang, Chu and Wu to compete for hegemony. At that time, Wei and Wu were strong, the king of Wei led his troops to attack Tang, and the Tang army rose up to resist, but at that time, Chu and Wu were unstable internal affairs and could not help each other. The Wei army advanced straight in, captured the capital of Tang, and destroyed Tang.

The remnants of the Tang Kingdom surrendered one after another. Tang Yin, a nobleman who was still a young man, refused to surrender. Instead, he secretly led his tribe members to the Chu Kingdom through all his hardships.

By chance, Tang Yin met Emperor Chu, who was still the crown prince at that time, and the two fell in love with him. Not long after Emperor Chu ascended the throne, he opposed the opposition and used Tang Yin. Tang Yin lived up to his expectations and joined Emperor Chu in the Qing Dynasty to reorganize his military affairs. In just a few years, the national strength of the State of Chu soared.

At the same time, the Wei State suffered a series of changes, and was seized by Emperor Chu and Tang Yin, who took Tang Yin as the commander and led his army to attack Wei. After four years of war, he defeated the seemingly giant Wei State in one fell swoop and unified the northern land. From then on, the world was the confrontation between Chu and Wu.

Chang Xuan, who was laughing, also restrained his cynical smile and slowly praised: "Lord Tang is indeed a genius who has never been seen in a century. Wen can be safe and martial, and martial arts can be used to stabilize the country. Especially when he knows how to retreat bravely. After destroying Chu, he immediately handed over the military power and transferred to the position of the Censor. Such a person actually hired a son-in-law from our ragged inspection office where birds cannot lay eggs. When I think about it, I feel glorious."

With a squeak, the gate of the inspection center was pushed open with force, and a short and fat figure walked in. All the inspectors in the house immediately stood up and saluted, serving tea, and carrying chairs.

Chang Xuan piled up with a smile and said, "It's almost sunset in Mazhen, why have you come to the office in person? Let's moisten your throat first when you have a cup of tea."

Zhao Jia glared at the 'flatter' Chang Xuan with contempt, and after he brought the chair in his hand to the buttocks of Ma Zhen Institute, he said respectfully: "Sir, please sit down and rest for a while."

The old inspectors were used to seeing the two team leaders competing for favor. By the way, this town office was just a big deal about the inspection station of the vegetable market. It was just a small official with the size of sesame and mung beans. In addition to showing off his authority among the people and this office, he was still like a grandson wherever he went.

The big horse-drawn sword in the Ma Town Institute sat down on the chair, took the tea and took a sip, and said lightly: "Qin Fei in our institute received the hydrangea balls from the censor's daughter. You all know this, right?"

"I know!" "I know!" A series of continuous responses suddenly rang out in the room.

The little eyes of Ma Town Office looked at the subordinates with a smile, and slowly said, "This is a great joy that has not happened in our office for two hundred years. Well, I have thought about it, everyone will come out to congratulate Xiaofei. As the town office, I will take out five taels of silver first. You can see how much you can get together?"

To raise money with the boss, that is a technical job. You can't get more than the boss, or you can't lose too much. You have to leave some space for the people below. Zhao Jia turned his eyes and rushed to answer: "Xiao Fei is my inspector. Although I, Zhao Jia, still has to pay four taels of silver."

"All the team leader, I'm fine." Chang Xuan said with a smile. He was not Qin Fei's direct boss, but also gave him four liang. The taste of giving gifts was stronger than that of Zhao Jia. Seeing that Qin Fei would definitely rise straight in the future, and have a good relationship early and be able to talk to him in the future. What are these few taels of silver?

The remaining inspectors gritted their teeth and 'donated generously'. In a short while, they collected more than 30 taels of silver. The Ma Town Office took out a purse with satisfaction, swept the silver in, stood up, and walked towards the only single room in the office, which was his own official room, and said without looking back: "If Xiaofei comes back, ask him to come in to find me."

Close the door, Ma Zhenshu weighed the wallet and reached in to weigh his five-liang silver again. He looked reluctantly for a long time and wanted to put it back in his arms. After thinking about it, he threw it in hard.

Unlocked the key from his waist, opened a box in the corner of the wall, and there were two silver ingots worth ten taels of silver. Ma Zhen loved to stroke the silver ingot with his chubby palm, and murmured: "I can't bear to leave my wife, I can't trap a pervert. Silver, silver, today I'm sorry for you."

Suddenly there was a noise outside the door, and Zhao Jia was vaguely heard shouting: "Ma Zhensou, Xiaofei is back."

Ma Zhensu gritted his teeth and threw the two big silver into his purse with great pain. He closed the box and walked to the door and shouted, "Let Xiaofei come in."

Qin Fei followed the eunuchs to record his files. After a long time of busyness, he spoke dryly. Then he returned to the inspection office. He had just grabbed the teacup and had not yet drunk it, but a group of colleagues were dragged to the door of the official room of Ma Town Office.

Qin Fei tidied up his clothes and pushed the door open. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ma Zhenzhou greeting him with a smile on his face and helped him bring the door. The Ma Zhenzhou, which has always been arrogant, is so polite today, so Qin Fei is a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. I caught a robber before. Lao Xu and the others have helped bring him back. I also asked the master. I will bring him into the case."

The Ma Zhenshu smiled and pulled Qin Fei to the table and pressed him on the wooden chair: "Don't worry about this. I heard that you have been watching Caishi Street for three months, just one day away. If you can't get the bounty like this, it would be a bit too much. I can still make the decision on this little thing, that robber will not be involved in the case today. Even if you catch it tomorrow, I will write the official document submitted."

A smile quietly appeared on Qin Fei's handsome face and said, "Then I would like to thank the town."

Ma Zhensuo laughed softly, the sound was a little unpleasant than Ye Xiao's cry. After he walked back to his dilapidated desk, his fat body buried deep in the wooden chair. The weak wooden chair suddenly made a sharp squeak, making people feel that the chair was likely to break at any time.

Ma Zhenshu knocked his fingers on the table rhythmically, then pointed to a purse on the table, and said softly: "This is the silver reward you deserve."

Qin Fei picked up his purse and weighed the amount, and smiled and said, "The amount seems to be not right."

Of course it is not right. Twenty taels of silver are only two kilograms, but the bag weighs at least five or six kilograms.

"Brother Fei... In addition to rewarding the silver, the rest are the red envelopes that everyone will gather to congratulate you." Ma Zhenshu looked at the wallet reluctantly: "As a town, I have to stand up when encountering such a happy event."

Qin Fei felt a little funny. When Ma Zhen called him, he had never been so polite. He either shouted "Hey, that so who is that?" or hey, that person with the surname Qin is you. Today he actually became "Little Fei'er". It turns out that today is different from the past!

However, Qin Fei's face still had a calm look.

Ma Zhenshu said earnestly: "You know that the worst thing in Dongdu is our inspection center. It is a poor and careless place, and there is no oil or water, and even the salary is paid later than other inspection centers. They are also towns. Look at the towns in the inner city, but they never look at us with a direct look."

"I thought I was just going to live here and wait for death, but I didn't expect that our inspection office would be in operation. You are a great blessing. If you marry the daughter of the Censor, you will reach the top in one step. In the future, even if you are the head-in-law, it will be just a word from your father-in-law. Fei Ge, don't forget your roots as a human being, don't forget us brothers who have lived and died with you!"

Qin Fei held back his laughter, not to look at what Ma Zhen said with a righteous look. The whole Caishi Street knew that every time he caught a person, the Ma Zhen Station would charge at the end and run at the front. He said that last time he went to catch a bandit, Qin Fei rushed in and stomped open the door. The tall and strong bandit rushed out with two bright axes in his hand and howled to fight. The Ma Zhen Station was so scared that he sat on the ground, and burst into tears in an instant, then used his hands and feet, rolling and crawling back to dodge, almost calling his mother.

"That money is something that brothers want. Everyone has no oil and water in their hands, so they can only get so much. Brother Xiao Fei, don't think it's too little! Hehe!" Ma Zhenshu laughed thornyly, stood up, and firmly stuffed his wallet into Qin Fei's hand.

"Then..." Qin Fei grabbed the purse and smiled, "Then it's better to obey your orders than respect."

"Where is it, haha!" Seeing that Qin Fei had accepted the money, the smile on his face bloomed more than the autumn yellow chrysanthemum. He lowered his voice and said, "If you have the chance in the future, you can be in Lord Tang... Oh, no, just mention my name in front of the Tang Mansion Manager, and you will be grateful to the brother."

Qin Fei clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, lord of the town."
