Chapter 3: Charming Little Talisman, Shameful Yun Huan

Speaking of which, the official officers who were listened to in the Song Dynasty yamen can be roughly divided into three types: yamen runners, constables, and quick-shou.

As the name suggests, the yamen runner serves the government in the situation of labor, which is similar to being a soldier. This is the person who beats the board and shouts of power in the yamen.

The same is true for the constable, but they are long-term employees.

There is another third type, called "Kuaishou", which is actually the non-staff personnel under the constable, and are usually recruited and led by the constable themselves.

It is located in Qiantang County where Shen Mo is located, which is located in Lin'an City, which is equivalent to a district in the capital, but there are only yamen runners and thirty constables.

So the question is, with just a few people, how can we maintain this densely populated Song Lin'an?

The secret is that about every constable like Shen Mo has about 30 "Quick Shou" in his hands. So no matter what the county magistrate wants to do, he is not afraid of lack of staff.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, these three types of people were treated the same, that is, no one paid you a salary!

So where do these constables and Kuaishou’s living expenses come from? It depends on these people who work on the case and knock the plaintiff and the defendant’s gray income.

Shen Mo's dead father was a constable. More than a year ago, the old man inherited the position of constable for Shen Mo before his death. However, this kid did not learn the skills of his father's public affairs at all.

He actually worked in the yamen for more than a year, and he didn't even have a "Kuaishou" under his command!

Without his subordinates, Shen Mo himself will not take advantage of public affairs, so where can he get the money to handle his boss?

Usually, a constable like Shen Mo, who was a three-year-old and two-year-old conscientious person would give him a lot of filial piety. However, Shen Mo was a man with no water and had no intention of "intention" at all. The other constable Xu Wang could not be angry when he saw that he was still angry?

Before Shen Mo took a few steps on the street, he thought clearly about the reason why he was excluded from the yamen based on his memories of his previous life.

This incompetent guy! Shen Mo shook his head and secretly whispered to the master of his body before.

If something like this is put on Shen Mo now, it can be said that it will be solved easily and will not cause any trouble.

But judging from Lu Qiang's performance today, his boss Xu Wang seemed to have decided to take down Shen Mo. If he didn't do it well, he had already found the candidates for the position of Shen Mo.

The captain Xu Wang was probably waiting for his marriage leave to end. On the first day of his marriage, he was dismissed from the yamen. He was able to replace Shen Mo, a constable who made money, with his confidant. I am afraid that even Lu Qiang, a good friend of Shen Mo, would not know about this.

The contradiction has intensified to this extent, so it is troublesome.

Shen Mo probably said that he really used money to make some money now, and no one would spare him.

"What a fuss! I just came to the Southern Song Dynasty and was about to lose my job!" Shen Mo walked around the street while thinking about countermeasures with some helplessness.

...

At Shen Mo's house, there was a pair of stone tables and stone benches in the small yard. Yunmaid was sitting on the stone bench thinking about her thoughts when she heard the sound of the wooden door, and the maid Xiaofu came back from the street.

Xiao Fu is fifteen years old this year and is a smart and clever little girl. Her clothes are simple but clean and tidy.

Her age was when the girl's body began to sprout. The girl's body had a naive and childish temperament, and the sweet charm of a young girl began to appear.

I saw Xiao Fu enter the yard, panting with her cheeks, and her petite and cute face turned red.

Seeing this, Yunpeng quickly stepped forward and asked Xiao Fu what was wrong.

"Hairpin..." Yunbai looked at Xiaofu.

In the morning, the golden hairpin she held in her hand to make her ruthless was gone.

"It's knocked out!" Xiao Fu said angrily: "Three cents of silver."

"So little?" Yunbai was stunned for a moment: "Has the pawnshop lie to you?"

"That hairpin is not made of gold at all!" Xiao Fu's face turned red, and tears were circling in his eyes. "It was a pure copper gilt!"

"That old man!" Xiao Fu cursed hatefully: "A couple, Miss, you married such a bad old man like him in your prime. As a result, I was so scared that I was so scared that I was cheated by that old guy with a fake hairpin as a betrothal gift!"

Yunpai didn't expect that the jewelry given to her by her dead rich businessman "ex-husband" was actually a fake gold-packed item. Miss Lu was lost for a moment and sat down on the stone bench in despair.

However, when Xiao Fu saw the young lady's indifference, she felt unbearable and suddenly felt relieved.

"That heartless old ghost, let him give birth to a beast in the next life!" Xiao Fu shook Yunbai's arm with distress: "Miss, don't be sad..."

"It's not for this," Yunmai's beautiful eyebrows frowned involuntarily, and her white jade-like teeth bit her lower lip:

"I originally thought that if this hairpin is gold, it can be used as a silver price of three or five taels. We can live a life of thrift and last a few months. But I didn't expect... it was fake!"

"It's so angry!" Xiao Fu saw the lady's face in a dilemma, and couldn't help but pout and muttered in a low voice: "This Shen Langjun has nothing to do with sauce, vinegar, rice and flour at home, and there is not even a little burning firewood or salt."

"He also has a businessman, so why did his family make it like this..."

"Speak quietly!" Yun Bai glanced at Xiao Fu with a angrily look.

The master and servant are now speaking in the yard. If Xiao Fu's words are heard by the neighbors, they will fall into Shen Mo's ears. Yun Bai was afraid that Shen Mo would feel uncomfortable when he heard them.

"My son-in-law's family was originally from a poor family. Yesterday's wedding banquet should have cost a lot, and I guess there was nothing left in the family." Yunbai looked at Xiao Fu and sighed quietly: "Even if it is a poor couple, if they can live a peaceful life for the rest of their lives, that's fine."

Thinking about what happened last night, Yun Bai's original honest and dull image of Shen Mo had collapsed.

"A man like this can deceive my family and be a veteran in the wind and moon... I just want to live with him until he grows old, but I don't know if it can be done?" Yun Bai thought to herself, and the sorrow in her heart was already secretly surging.

She felt that the road ahead was slim. She had no idea what other changes would be waiting for her in her bitter fate.

Yunbai was originally a woman from an official family. After the family suffered a great disaster, the girl's enthusiasm also plummeted.

Now it seems that even if she wants to marry an honest man like a wooden man and wants to have a simple meal, she will be unavailable to work hard day and night to live a stable life. This makes Yun Bai's heart more and more painful.

Xiao Fu watched coldly. The girl was extremely clever. She could see that Yun Hai's sorrow was not because her family was not inadequate, but because this new son-in-law did not regard the lady's wish.

Could it be that when the wedding night was in the wedding night, my son-in-law and the lady didn't do it well, and they made something awkward? When the girl thought of this, her face turned red with a "sky!"

But after all, she cared about Yunbai, and the two of them were in love with sisters, so Xiao Fu hesitated for a moment and asked out the question:

"Miss, did you... the son-in-law treat you badly last night?"

When Xiao Fu asked this, Yun Bai's mind suddenly had the confused and wild scene that night that night appeared in the night, and the girl's face suddenly turned red.

"No," Yunbai bit her lip and thought for a while and said, "This Chen Lang...we are afraid that we have all misread him..."

At this moment,

"Oh! This is Shen Dalang's new wife!" Suddenly, a slick tone came from outside the wooden door.
Chapter completed!
