Martial Cultivator Chapter 23: Kaogongtang
"This is the government treasury.
The yamen is equipped with an iron ruler and two sets of public uniforms for winter and spring for each agent.
You can come here to pick it up later. ”
Ma Yan, who was guiding Wang An and the others, lazily pointed to the warehouse behind him and said to them.
After Zhao Meng heard this, he immediately nodded repeatedly, looking submissive.
Wang An also responded and looked at Ma Yan's waist thoughtfully.
In addition to the iron ruler with a long handle hanging there, there is also a sheathed two-handed single sword.
Seeing Wang An's eyes resting on his own weapon, Ma Yan curled his lips, but without further explanation, he stepped forward: "Let's go, I will take you to the examination hall.
You are all new detectives. You must reach forty points in the first year's examination before you can continue to stay in the government office.
If you are less than forty years old, you can only be assigned to a lower county government office in Taiping or not peaceful according to your level of performance.
There are also many techniques for receiving cases in the Kaogong Hall.
Since Capt. Zhou has asked me to guide you and tell you the rules, I will choose a few easy errands for you later so that you can get a lot of money to test your merits. ”
When it came to the merit test, Ma Yan suddenly started to talk a lot.
He seems to be a really warm-hearted and good colleague.
Zhao Meng's chubby face already showed a look of gratitude, thinking to himself that this senior is really beyond his appearance. He looks gloomy, but he is actually a good person on the inside!
But Wang An didn’t think so.
I arrested Xiao Longjie before and came to the Yamen. The detectives on duty at that time all told me that as long as a detective reaches 20 points a year, he will pass.
The ten pieces of examination chips exchanged for Xiao Longjie are kept at Wang An's house.
He knows this very well.
Ma Yan was not on duty at the yamen at the time and did not meet him. He thought he could deceive him by falsely reporting the amount.
When he vowed that the test would cost forty chips, Wang An felt ridiculous and a little curious.
I want to see how this guy will act next?
After passing 20 chips in the examination, you can go to the public treasury to exchange for some things.
Some agents fail to meet the standards for their performance exams in a year. In order not to lose their jobs, they will spend a lot of money to purchase their exams from other agents.
Ma Yan’s idea was to ask two newcomers to work for him for free, so that they could help him complete the one-year exam and at the same time sell the surplus.
However, catching a small bandit leader like Xiao Longjie is a test of merit.
How easy is it to gather forty chips?
Forcing new recruits to take so many exams will most likely cost people their lives!
In the blink of an eye, Ma Yan took Wang An and two others to the examination hall.
On the wall opposite the door, there are signs hanging one after another, divided into four colors: purple, red, green, and white. Wang An has been here once, and he knows that these signs record various incidents in Nanping City and surrounding areas. case.
Kaogongtang divides cases into four levels according to the degree of danger.
Purple is the most dangerous, white is the safest.
It is said that black case cards have appeared in the history of Nanping government offices, but after all, they are rare and may only appear once in decades.
At this time, there are only three purple case cards on the wall, and there are fewer red ones, maybe six or seven, with the most cyan ones, and none of the white ones.
White label cases are simpler.
Usually they are cases of arresting theft and finding items.
Whenever a case like this comes up, the veterans in the department will take it away immediately.
Most of the white card cases only have one or two chips to test for merit, but the cumulative effect can also allow many police officers to meet the requirement of twenty chips a year.
In contrast, Qingpai cases are somewhat dangerous, and the merit test for each case is three to five times higher.
The scribe in charge of recording was sitting behind the desk in the corner. When he saw Ma Yan leading people in, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face. However, when he caught a glimpse of Wang An from the corner of his eye, his expression suddenly became much more subtle.
When Xiao Longjie was sent to the government office, he was the one responsible for recording Wang An's performance test.
He winked at Ma Yan, but Ma Yan didn't care. He walked closer and patted him on the shoulder. He turned to Wang An and said, "This is the scribe who records the exams. Your name is Just let him be the big brother.
Brother Ren, please tell our new colleagues what is going on in the department’s annual merit examination! ”
Ma Yan looked very familiar with the scribe Ren, and winked with the scribe while talking.
It seems that he often joins forces with scribes to deceive new colleagues to obtain merit examinations.
The current situation is no exception. He wants to drag Clerk Ren into the water and help him to complete the lie that "it takes 40 yuan to pass the Gongfu test in the first year of a new agent".
But now Wang An is standing here. When he sent Xiao Longjie away, Clerk Ren told him in front of the head catcher on duty that as long as he passed the annual merit examination, he would have passed the examination if he had more than twenty chips.
How can a scribe nowadays eat what he says?
He is also afraid that this new colleague who has caught a thief before taking office will cause trouble!
I can’t hold it in my pocket!
So, Secretary Ren barely maintained the smile on his face, looked at Wang An, and said to him: "Hahaha... Speaking of which, I still know one of these two new colleagues.
Is this Wang An?
Brother Ma, you don’t know that before brother Wang An entered the yamen, he had already done an errand and earned ten pieces of money to take the exam! ”
"Ten-step test?" Ma Yan stared at Wang An, with a look on his face as if he suspected that Wang An had some bad luck.
He suddenly stretched out his palm toward Wang An: "Bring me the test!"
After hearing this, Secretary Ren went to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com and was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out!
"Why should I give you my examination results?" Wang An raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Yan playfully.
This kind of person who grabs a chicken feather in his hand as if he has great power and wants to exploit anyone can be found everywhere.
It's a pity that when he found himself, he really found the wrong person.
At this time, Ma Yan also felt that his tone was too strong, and he was obviously eager. He forced a smile on his long face: "The examination papers must be handed over to the scribe, otherwise how will they be recorded?
You handed in ten chips to take the test, and then you only need to collect thirty more chips to pass this year. ”
"When I came that day, Uncle Zhang, the headman of the fifth class, also told me that I should keep my test results by myself. If someone cheats me, the clerk will wipe the record again, and it will be a The busy year has been all in vain.
The scribe also said at the time that one only needed to reach twenty points to pass the annual examination.
Brother Ma, you have doubled the test threshold by opening your mouth..." Wang An looked calm and his voice was calm.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Meng screamed: "Doubled?!"
His voice was particularly harsh, and as soon as he spoke it, Ma Yan's expression suddenly changed and he became angry.
"I let you talk nonsense here!"
Boom!
Ma Yan's voice was accompanied by the sound of his fist piercing the air, and he went straight to Wang An's door in an instant!
Punch like a gun!
He is also a martial artist who excels in practicing big guns and boxing!
Bah!
At the critical moment, Wang An suddenly stretched out his left hand and turned it into an eagle's claw. His back muscles exerted force and drove his left arm to shoot out, grabbing Ma Yan's stabbing left fist.
His body remained motionless as his fists and palms met.
On the contrary, Ma Yan was eager to withdraw his hand, his arms were shaking, but he could not escape Wang An's grasp!
