Wang Anran yelled loudly and told the catchers to throw away the chicken coops. We were going to suppress bandits. The people saw the way we were carrying the chicken coops and thought we were the gangsters. We went to the countryside to snatch chickens. of!
Duan Baoquan knew that he had made a mistake. It turned out that Wang Dianshi did not take everyone to sell chickens that they had eaten. It was not sure what they would sell, but it should be a good thing to make a fortune anyway. He quickly shouted to his men, asking the catchers to throw away the chicken coop and pick up the iron ruler and chains again. We are all official servants, so we must look like one!
After a lot of fuss, the officers threw away the chicken coop, lined up in two teams, followed Wang Anran's horse, left Liangzhou City, and rushed to the southeast, which is the direction of Chang'an, where the official road is.
The city of Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty was quite large. It would reach its heyday in a few decades, and there would be hundreds of thousands of households in Liangzhou. The Hu people had half-understood the theory of playing the pipa. Now it has not reached its heyday, but tens of thousands of households Yes, if there is no shortage of manpower and financial resources, the official roads will naturally be wide and smooth, and there will be a lot of business on the roads.
Wang Anran took more than a hundred servants and went to the official road in a mighty manner.
When such a large group of official agents appeared, the merchants became frightened, thinking that they were setting up cards. The official agents only set up cards for one purpose, and that was to collect passing money. With such a large formation, they might not be able to collect enough money.
The officials were also gearing up to collect a good amount of money. They were all convinced that they would make a fortune by following Wang Anran.
But Wang Anran never ordered the officials to collect money. Instead, he asked the officials to disperse as much as possible and let them see if there was anyone like a noble son. If they met, they should report to him in time.
As soon as this order was issued, Duan Baoquan thought that Wang Dianshi was trying to extort money, and was specifically targeting aristocratic young masters. However, he was afraid that aristocratic young masters were not something that servants like them could afford to offend. He wanted to persuade Wang Anran with a few words. But he also thought that Wang Anran would take care of anything if something happened, so all he had to do was obey his orders.
The more than a hundred police officers seemed to have a large number of people, but once they dispersed, it seemed that there were not enough manpower. After a full day, no one reported back, and I don¡¯t know if they saw anyone who looked like a noble prince.
Wang Anran called Duan Baoquan and asked: "We are so big in Liangzhou, but we only have more than a hundred police officers. How can we manage such a large place with such a small number of people?"
Duan Baoquan had been busy all day and didn't see even half a copper coin. He was confused about what Wang Anran wanted to do. When he suddenly heard this question, he thought his boss was testing him!
He quickly explained the reason and said: "If I go back to Wang Dianshi, our Liangzhou is so big that it is not enough to rely on more than a hundred officers. Those who come with you are all registered officers"
It turns out that the status of head catchers and fast players in this era was not high, and this profession could even be said to be very lowly. If you work in this profession, you cannot take the scientific examination, and it will take three generations for your descendants to take the scientific examination and become an official. The income earned It's also low. Of course, the catchers and quickies don't rely on the few firewood and rice coins handed out by the yamen to live. There are many ways to make a fortune.
It is impossible for the yamen to pay too much salary for people like them, but there are not enough manpower, so those with names on the book will recruit their subordinates in the name of accepting apprentices. Of course, they will not pay the apprentices to work. Instead, they will recruit from the merchants through the apprentices. It is also a business rule to receive benefits from the people.
Duan Baoquan explained the reason and said with a smile: "Everyone follows Wang Dianshi to make a fortune, so of course you can't bring apprentices. However, if you feel that there are not enough manpower, you will ask people to go back and find apprentices? Then you have enough manpower, so what? We can also recruit five to six hundred people!"
Wang Anran thought for a while and decided to forget it. We had enough manpower, but the people we recruited must be green-skinned gangsters. Li Longji saw it, but it was too embarrassing. Li Longji will be his big boss in the future. No matter what, he must maintain his glorious and righteous image in front of the big boss.
Waving his hands, Wang Anran said: "That's all, it's just us. It's okay for everyone to work harder. We won't go back to the city tonight. We'll find a place to stay nearby, and we'll continue looking tomorrow!"
Duan Baoquan¡¯s eyes lit up. Can he find a place to stay nearby? According to this, he can harass the place. Only the army can do this kind of good thing. When will it be their turn to be the servants!
Duan Baoquan was very considerate of his superiors and said: "Wang Dianshi, if you find a place to live nearby, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to you in the future. If there are some people who don't open your eyes, go to the governor and report us. I'm afraid you will be embarrassed." ah!"
Wang Anran said: "It's the governor who asked us to come out. I have nothing to explain. Go and send the message! As long as we get this done, your benefits will be indispensable in the future!"
Duan Baoquan informed his subordinates with a bright smile. The officers were all overjoyed when they heard that they could find a place to live. It seemed that following Wang Dianshi out would lead to good things. If so, it was not a problem at all.Biography.
After searching for a whole day, they couldn't find any noble master. However, the officers were not depressed at all. Instead, they were all in high spirits. They surrounded Wang Anran and went to a large village. They went straight to the largest house in the village and informed the rich man inside that he The family's house was expropriated, and the Liangzhou Judicial Officer and his officials had to spend the night here. His house was in full bloom!
The rich man was frightened by the sudden "cloud of guests". He thought that such a large group of official officials were here to ransack his home. After asking about it, he found out that they were a team that was out of the city to suppress bandits and were just staying at his house. Only then did he calm down. , entertained them with good wine and meat, arranged for the officials to live in the front house, and arranged a single room for Wang Anran. In short, they tried their best to satisfy the official.
After dinner, Wang Anran was heating his feet in the room to relieve his fatigue. Suddenly, he heard Duan Baoquan shouting from outside: "Wang Dianshi, someone is here. Check to see if he is the person you want to arrest!"
Wang Anran's face suddenly changed color. He just asked the officers to find the noble son, but he didn't say he wanted to arrest him. These officers were so bold that they actually caught the noble son. If it was Li Longji who was arrested, it would be a disaster. !
The door opened, and several servants carried two people in. Duan Baoquan followed behind and said excitedly: "Wang Dianshi, take a look quickly, is it this noble young master?"
The guards were all excited, as if they were not carrying two big living people, but two big, fat and tender lambs, just waiting for them to rip off the money!
Wang Anran looked at these two people. Both of them were wearing silk and satin. They were around sixteen or seventeen years old. One was indeed a noble prince, but the other was a young girl. Logically speaking, one should be the young prince and the other It¡¯s the young Marquis, it can¡¯t be a boy and a girl!
"Here, what's going on?" Wang Anran asked curiously.
Duan Baoquan said proudly: "After the brothers had dinner, they went out for a walk and saw them in the woods. These two guys had a lot of skin on their bodies and behaved secretly. They didn't sleep most of the night but stayed in the woods. When I saw that they were not good people, I arrested them and handed them over to Wang Dianshi."
As long as it¡¯s not Li Longji, Wang Anran breathed a sigh of relief and said, ¡°What do they do?¡±
Duan Baoquan came over, got close to Wang Anran's ear, and whispered: "After asking, they eloped. It's best to make a fortune in this kind of thing. As long as they are sent home, their families will not dare to tell them, for fear of losing them." Face, so how much does it cost? Why don¡¯t we set the price?¡±
Wang Anran¡¯s nose was almost crooked with anger. The real owner didn¡¯t respond, but he caught two people eloping. Are these servants too full to eat and hinder people¡¯s freedom of marriage?
