Chapter 33 The Rules of Catching Kuai
Yang Tashan said: 'This woman had undergone induced labor surgery. She said that the fetus had been initially formed for at least five months. In other words, we need to find the deceased, who is a pregnant woman who is more than five months pregnant!"
"That's great!" Cheng Zi's piano player waved his waves and couldn't help but praise: "If you are not bragging, then this clue is so important to us! The peasant woman is about twenty-three years old and over five months pregnant. Now, the range of finding the source of the corpse has been greatly reduced. Now that there is a portrait again, it is even more convenient. You can restore the corpse and draw the portrait. It's amazing!"
Luo Yi, a group leader, kept silent and listened with interest, and said at this moment: "This corpse is rotten like that. Captain Yang can restore his original appearance. The land is really powerful!"
Yang Tashan smiled confidently and said, "Not just swelling and not rotting, most of the muscles are still there. Even if they are all rotting and only one skeleton frame is left, I can restore him."
Several of the constables were very surprised and mixed with more disbelief. After all, it was just Yang Tashan's mouth that they had never seen it, so of course they didn't believe it.
Yang Tashan was too lazy to tell the difference. He originally wanted to talk about the strange chicken, duck, fish and meat in the stomach of the peasant women, but after hearing this, he was afraid that it would scare them and make people believe it even harder, so he was too lazy to say: "Okay, it's the headmaster, let's go and check the source of the corpse."
The leader of the second group, Ma Liang, had a fat head and ears, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, don't be anxious first. No matter how anxious you are, you have to eat. It's all over noon. Aren't you hungry? We didn't eat either. We became the headmaster and said we would wait for you to eat together."
Yang Tashan had been in the morgue for autopsy just now, and then he realized that it was already afternoon and his stomach was already roaring.
The constable usually rests on shifts, but when there are cases, there is no rest day. Although the prefect Han Dynasty did not set a limit on this case, they did not dare to relax. Cheng Ziqin said: "Thank you all today. I'll treat you. Let's go to the restaurant opposite the yamen to have a meal, and we will continue to investigate the case."
The four of them cheered in unison. Cheng Ziqin first called the on-duty constable and told him about the situation of the dead person found in Yang Tashan just now, and asked him to inform him and continue to find the source of the corpse based on this situation. Then he called the yamen painter and asked him to draw a few more pictures to facilitate the search for the source of the corpse.
Afterwards, Cheng Ziqin and five others came to the "Pengju Restaurant" opposite the yamen.
As soon as Yang Tashan and the others entered the restaurant, the waiter saw several magistrates and the constables coming, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile. While asking in, he shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper! The chief and the other officials are here!"
An old goatee hurriedly came out of the back hall and bowed to Cheng Ziqin, "It turns out that it is Captain Cheng and all the officials. Please go upstairs, please go upstairs, and the elegant seat upstairs." The shopkeeper was talking while looking at Yang Tashan a few times, with a very awkward expression.
Yang Tashan's belly was funny. The shopkeeper looked at him so sideways. It was not that he was handsome or weird, but that he was stained with the ground on his body that was indescribable and stinking smell of corpses.
Cheng Ziqin shook a folding fan and walked upstairs first, Yang Tashan and four others followed behind him.
Upstairs, the goateekeeper hurriedly brought them to a street-facing accord.
The breeze blew in from outside the window, and it was very comfortable in the cool summer. Cheng Ziqin took her seat in the first seat, and Yang Tashan accompanied her next seat. The other three also entered the seat.
Cheng Ziqin said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Hu, come here, I will introduce you to a brother."
The goatee's shopkeeper surnamed Hu, hurriedly came up, looked at Cheng Ziqin with a smile on his face.
Cheng Ziqin folded the fan and pointed at Yang Tashan: "This is the deputy chief of the prefect. His surname is Yang and his name is Tashan. He is very capable."
Manager Hu hurriedly bowed and said, "Liar Hu Jiu, it is the shopkeeper of Pengju Restaurant. Please ask Captain Yang to take care of him in the future."
Yang Tashan bowed and returned the gift: "It's easy to say it!"
Cheng Ziqin smiled at Yang Tashan and said, "This shopkeeper Hu is very polite in dealing with people and is very friendly. You will know after a long time. The prefect also often invites guests here. In the future, if there is any banquet or something to entertain in the brothers' yamen or at home, you can come to him. When you are on tight, you can put the tent on it."
Yang Tashan now understood that this "Pengju Restaurant" turned out to be a designated restaurant in the prefectural office. It is convenient.
Cheng Ziqin said to Manager Hu: "Good wine and good meat, come on! Our Captain Yang has recently taken office. We haven't celebrated it well yet."
Manager Hu smiled and said, "Okay! Please rest assured that you are the captain. Xiaodi will make arrangements immediately. Today, this meal is considered a treat for the young man, and celebrate Captain Yang's success!"
Yang Tashan hurriedly said, "That's not possible. If you open a store to do business, I will be promoted to a small deputy captain. If you want to treat guests, you will not lose your capital!"
Manager Hu smiled and said, "Captain Yang, you are just out of here. You are a newcomer and don't understand the character of the young man. They know that I am the one who is the one who makes friends. In any case, you should treat me to the old man. Don't be polite. In the future, there are still many places to ask you to go to your old man.
Yang Tashan was still waiting for it, and Cheng Ziqin folded a fan and gently hit Yang Tashan's arm: "Brother Yang, it's rare that Manager Hu has good intentions, so it's better to obey your orders." The three team leaders of Shouhou and the others agreed. Yang Tashan had to bow and thank him.
Manager Hu smiled and went downstairs to arrange a banquet. The thin monkey said to Yang Tashan: "Captain Yang, this celebration wine is a rule. In the future, you can accept it with filial piety in the shopkeeper. Because it is all rules, it is hard and hard to be a constable, and it only costs five or six hundred coins a month. If you really want to be honest and upright, you will be poor even if you don't feel tired."
Luo Yi said: "Yes, Captain Yang, they spent hundreds of documents to ask you for a meal, but it was not in vain. If you take care of him in the future, he will make up for it."
Yang Tashanqi said: "We are the constable and arresting the thief case, how can we take care of them to open the store?"
Cheng Ziqin and the other four laughed. Ma Liang picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, saying, "Catcher Yang, it seems that you don't know much about our constable. The position of constable is limited to the capture of thieves in name, but whether this power is big or small depends on how you use it. Throughout the dynasties, the yamen runners' land has many rules and a lot of money, but we don't decide the land. Take this restaurant for example. The name of the land is tax. This is to collect land. Just this, tighter and looser, a little earlier or later, that is enough for them to eat the land..."
The thin monkey also smiled and said, "Yes, we can't make too big a decision on this tax collection, but we have more donations and regular money for various names. For example, if there are diners in the restaurant who are not satisfied with the food, they may even fight, and if there is any argument, then we have the final say..."
Luo Yi also interrupted, "This is nothing. I am most afraid of others causing trouble when opening a restaurant. If you don't say anything, we will send my brothers to his restaurant every few days to check here and there. This is not right, that is not right, so he will not do his business. Therefore, the restaurants and restaurants in Qingyang Mansion are inevitable for our monthly conditions..."
Yang Tashan thought to himself, this entire underworld collects protection fees. But it is no wonder that the constable has so little work-in-one and belongs to the untouchables. They do not charge these messy money. The ones who want to have no money are not money. Who do you want to do this constable?
The thin monkey said again: "Compared with other prefecture-county captains, we are considered very upright as we become captains. We eat, drink, and hang land bills in Pengju Restaurant every month, and we also come to the office to send houses to the ground and banquets. These bills are delivered to the shift room on a monthly basis. The captains never default or deduct them. They pay the full order from the monthly payments paid from the restaurant. If they are replaced by other captains, there is no door!"
Cheng Ziqin gently shook the folding fan and smiled slightly: "It's not easy for others to do business. Okay, I won't talk about these things anymore, Brother Yang will gradually understand them in the future. In short, let's do it as a constable, you can take it for you, and you can take it for you. As long as you don't forcefully rob, blackmail or do things against your conscience, you can do it. If you encounter any business or miserable, you can take care of it with all your heart. Don't lose money to others."
Yang Tashan and others clasped their fists and said, "Remember to be the headmaster's teaching!"
Cheng Ziqin smiled and said, "It's so sour! Don't be a captain in the future or a captain behind the head. We brothers don't have to be so polite. Just call me Ziqin in the future. If you don't, just call me sister."
"Sister? Haha, are you older than me?" Yang Tashan said with a smile on his face.
"I am the tenth birthday of the December 19th year of Yongle. Where are you?" Cheng Ziqin said openly.
"Me? I am... I am... Haha, how many days younger than you." Yang Tashan couldn't remember when he was born. Although he looked at the same age as the two, he didn't know whether they were old or young, so he just beat him up, too lazy to argue with him.
"It's also a big day when you're older, why? Don't you want to scream? I'm not interested!"
"Just shout, who told you how many days you're going to be? I'll accept it." Yang Tashan stood up and bowed, "I've seen Sister Cheng."
"This is almost the same, just sit down." Cheng Ziqin said proudly.
At this time, the wine and food had already been served one after another. Another pot of good old flower carvings were served. The five people's wine glasses were poured. Cheng Ziqin held the wine glass and said, "Come on our Captain Yang, no, Brothers on the mountain will go high and cheer!"
The five of them picked up their wine glasses, and after Yang Tashan thanked them, they all worked together.
Yang Tashan wiped his mouth and said to Cheng Ziqin: "I can't tell, Sister Cheng is quite refreshing to drink!"
The other three people all raised their thumbs and said, "Yes, they are so generous as the head-in-chief and drink, but they are the heroes among women."
Cheng Ziqin said: "Okay, don't talk about the useless land, fat boy, go and close the door, it's time for us to talk about the case."
