Chapter 10(1/2)

Just as Lao Xing led Xiaoliu to patrol the streets, Zhanggui Tong and others had already arrived at Feilong Valley.

After bargaining with Manager Hao, everyone paid a deposit of 100 taels and successfully rented four good horses from Manager Hao.

"This old Hao is really stingy. He just borrowed four horses and actually asked me for ten taels of silver a day." Zhangguan Tong said with an unhappy look on his head.

This ten taels of silver was enough for her to pay more than a year of wages for the owner of Tongfu Inn.

"Forget it, it's not easy for manager Hao to buy horses. There are few people in our town who buy horses, and there has been no war recently, and the government's procurement has also decreased, so his business is not easy to do." Lao Bai quickly comforted.

"Don't worry, Zhangguan Tong, this account is included in our account." Xiao Guo also spoke righteously at this time.

In fact, she should have paid the money, but because they didn't bring much money this time, and they offended so many people before, they don't know if the money is enough to compensate, so she doesn't dare to use it indiscriminately now.

"It's okay, when your matter is resolved, we will calculate the losses between us." The shopkeeper was also very reasonable.

"Then thank you, Zhangguan Tong." Xiao Guo thanked him with his fists.

"Okay, let's go." As he said that, the shopkeeper turned over and horse.

Everyone couldn't help but stagnate when they saw the shopkeeper's cool movements, especially Xiao Guo and Xiao Qing.

They were originally worried that the shopkeeper would not know how to do martial arts, so they had never ridden a horse, but they didn't expect that the shopkeeper's movements were so skillful.

"You are the manager Tong..."

Seeing the two of them like this, Lao Bai quickly said with a smile.

"Our shopkeeper is the big daughter of the Longmen Escort Agency. She has been riding a horse since she was a child."

"Oh, so that's it."

Xiao Guo and Xiao Qing nodded. They didn't expect that the shopkeeper was actually a real person who didn't show his appearance.

Although the Longmen Escort Agency is not as prominent as the Guo family, it is also a world-famous Red Escort Agency.

"Oh, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

It was the first time she rode a horse since she got married. She didn't like riding a horse before, but now she felt a little nostalgic.

"Let's go, drive!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper didn't wait for everyone, and rushed out with a wave of the whip.

When the three of them saw the shopkeeper riding the horse first, they quickly got on the horse and rushed towards Heifeng Ridge.

......

At this time, Xiao Liu had already followed Lao Xing to the gate of the county government.

The county government is located in the center of Qixia Town. It took Xiao Liu and his team members less than half an hour to walk back from Nanting.

Qixia Town is not a big town, and the county government is naturally just a small county government.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

I saw the two stone lions at the entrance of the county government, with curly hair, open their mouths and tilted their necks, strong and powerful claws, and arrogant expressions. They were majestic.

When we came to the door, a big drum was set up next to us, and it was the drum that beat the drum and made the wronged.

However, the drum is very old and there is a layer of dust on it. It seems that no one has beaten this drum for a long time.

But that's true. After all, although it's not a peaceful and prosperous era now, it's not a chaotic era.

In addition, the people of the Seven Heroes are simple, and the County Magistrate Lou is also a good official with integrity and integrity. Old Xing is so dedicated, so it is not strange that no one beats the drum and makes a plea for justice.

There were only two servants watching at the county yamen. This servant was different from the constable like Captain Xing. They only had to sit in the yamen, so they were also called the yamen runners.

The work of the yamen runners is much faster, easier and safer than that of the constable, so there is no shortage of yamen runners in Qixia Town.

For example, there is only one captain in the entire Qixia Town now, and there are not even one constable, but there are seven or eight yamen runners.

The yamen runner standing at the door saw Captain Xing and a young man coming, and they all bowed and said hello.

"Catcher Xing!"

These yamen runners have no official status, and their identities are equivalent to today's contract workers. But Old Xing is different. Old Xing is an authentic ninth-ranked black-robed captain. Although he is just the smallest official, he is still an official at least.

Old Xing nodded slightly to the two of them, as if he had seen the greetings. Then he took Xiaoliu directly into the county munition.

Xiao Liu followed Lao Xing slowly into the county government office. The two of them walked around the front hall and came to a small courtyard in the back hall.

The servant at the door hurriedly came forward. After Lao Xing and the other party whispered a few times, the other party walked towards the inner room, while Lao Xing and Xiao Liu stood in the hall waiting.

Soon the servant walked out and took Lao Xing to meet County Magistrate Lou. Before leaving, Lao Xing told Xiao Liu to stand obediently and not to move around.

After a while, Old Xing came out and took Xiaoliu to visit Magistrate Lou.

Finally, he was about to see the county magistrate Lou. Xiaoliu hurriedly followed Lao Xing, fearing that he would go too fast and make any taboos.

At the same time, he lowered his head tightly. Anyway, if he wanted to see it, he could watch it casually after becoming a constable in the future. Now he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the level of the county magistrate Lou.

When he came to the hall, after Xiao Liu's first greeting, County Magistrate Lou sat in the main seat to tea and asked, "You are Xiao Liu!"

"Yes, Caomin Yan Xiaoliu." Xiaoliu bowed and responded.

Listening to Xiaoliu's tone of answering, he was a little nervous, but not panic, Magistrate Lou nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"Well, look up and let me see."

"Yes!" Xiao Liu slowly raised his head, but he did not dare to look directly at Magistrate Lou.

After all, even though he had never read ancient etiquette, Xiao Liu knew that this must be an impolite act, especially in the ancient times where the magistrate of the noble and the orderly, so Xiao Liu dared to secretly look at the legendary magistrate Lou with his light!

Magistrate Lou was quite thin and looked a little old. Xiao Liu didn't expect that the other party was actually an old man.

However, he and Dazui's mother are of the same generation, and they should be almost the same age.

"Yes!" Looking at Xiaoliu's careful and respectful behavior, Magistrate Lou nodded with satisfaction.

After carefully seeing Xiaoliu's face, County Magistrate Lou smiled even more happily.

"Well, it's not bad! Not bad! When you see this face, you are a loyal and honest person. With the whiteness and cleanness, you are a lucky person. You have chosen Captain Xing well. I will feel relieved if you two have the security of Qixia Town in the future."

Magistrate Lou knew some facial techniques, and he was very satisfied with Xiao Liu's facial expression.

"Minister Lou is really wise! Xiao Liu has no other skills, but he is honest. As for the public security of this Qixia Town, it is mainly because you are good at your leadership. We are just ordered to do the job." Old Xing also knew how to answer this.

Magistrate Lou was also very happy to listen to Lao Xing's words. It was not that he knew that Lao Xing was complimenting him, but Lao Xing was telling the truth. Moreover, Lao Xing is a person who does practical things and is very popular with him.

"Okay, Captain Xing, there is no need to say these words. We are just doing things for the people." County Magistrate Lou also said modestly.

Xiaoliu listened to the conversation between the two, and knew that both of them were good officials who did practical things and wanted to be famous.

It is said that these two people can come to this Qixia Town together, which is a blessing for Qixia Town.

"By the way, Captain Xing, how are the male and female demons doing recently?"

After laughing, Magistrate Lou directly asked his most concerned question. Recently, the male and female evil spirits have caused panic.

And the most important thing is that several nearby towns have been hit by their evil deeds. As he was about to come to him, how could he not be in a hurry?

And this is exactly the reason why he was anxious to ask Lao Xing to recruit constable.

When Lao Xing heard that Magistrate Lou mentioned this issue, he hurriedly reported it. "Magistrate Lou, I just happened to report this to you."

As he said that, Lao Xing told him everything Xiaoliu told him and told him to Magistrate Lou. However, Xiaoliu in the story became a secret man who he specially placed in Tongfu Inn to protect the safety of the inn.

When Magistrate Lou was stunned when he heard about Guo Juxia, he didn't realize who the other party was. After all, he was not a gangster.

However, when Lao Xing introduced that the other party was the general talker of the Six Gates today and was a fourth-rank official, his hand holding the teacup shook, and the teacup in his hand was almost broken.

And when he heard that the matter was solved perfectly, Magistrate Lou also breathed a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was that these children of officials did evil under their jurisdiction, and that was not right to take it, nor would they not take it.

At his age, he had already put off his idea of ​​another step. After all, he is so old, where can he go to again?

Now he just wants to retire peacefully and finally get the reputation of being a clean official.

But his idea coincided with Lao Xing.

County Magistrate Lou looked at Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, you did a good job this time. As an official, you must consider the people, but at the same time you cannot be reckless. You must figure out the right and wrong before talking about it."

"It's County Magistrate Lou!" Xiao Liu quickly clasped his fists and was taught.

County Magistrate Lou knew that Xiao Liu was learning from Lao Xing and didn't care, and said with a smile.

"Okay, Captain Xing, take Xiaoliu to the master's place to register. In addition, you can also quietly get in on Miss Guo's affairs."

"It's County Magistrate Lou!" Old Xing also quickly responded with his fists.

Magistrate Lou waved his hand and signaled the two to retreat.

Old Xing took Xiao Liu slowly backed out.

"call!"

After coming out, Xiao Liu let out a long sigh and said that he had passed the test.

From today on, I will be a real constable, and I can be considered half a public official.

Old Xing looked at the happy smile on Xiaoliu's face, and couldn't help but smile and pat Xiaoliu on the shoulder.

"Let's go, the master will take you to complete the procedures first. I will take you to Tongfu Inn to have a good meal in the evening, just to celebrate your successful career as a constable."
