Cai Zhixian said: "Okay, please ask Mr. Furong to take Mr. Yanagawa to walk around and meet everyone."

He Lanbing bowed and agreed, took Situ Ce out, first went to the next study room, and saw a Master Qian Gu who looked like an old scholar, and was very respectful to Situ Ce. He went to a study room again. He Lanbing said, "This is where we work on duty on weekdays. - Dong Weng is an honest official, has a low salary, and his family's wealth is not very generous, so you have only hired three Masters in total. One Monkey King, and we are Master Zheng."

Situ Ce hurriedly bowed and said, "I guess Brother Furong has spoken a lot in front of the magistrate. Otherwise, the magistrate would not have hired another magistrate if he didn't have much money."

His guess was correct. The magistrate was hesitant, but after hearing He Lanbing's description of the previous theft case, he repeatedly emphasized that this fortune teller had different skills in solving cases and would be of great help to solve cases in the future and was able to protect the magistrate's political achievements. The magistrate nodded and agreed to hire him as a famous criminal master.

However, Helanbing did not show his merits to Situ Ce, and took him out of the study and came to the next door. There was a room with a sturdy wooden bed. There was no quilt on the bed, a table, a few chairs, a few flower shelves and a bookshelf. Helanbing said: "Dongweng arranged for you to live here."

"Thank you! What about you? Where do you live?"

"I am a local, my home is in the city, I live at home." Helan Bing said, "Master Qian Gu is also a local, and he lives at home. He comes to work during the day and goes home in the evening."

"That's how it is."

He Lanbing went out of the door and waved to a little maid over and said, "Her name is Linglong, she is the maid who is responsible for making tea and pouring water in the study. She also lives in this yard and in the room on the east end. If you have any questions, you can call her. - Linglong, this is Mr. Situ, the newly hired master of the county magistrate. You must serve him well."

"Yes, Linglong pays homage to sir." After that, Linglong gave a gift.

Situ Ce hurriedly bowed back to the greeting. He Lanbing took Situ Ce to the inner house again, met the magistrate's wife, and then went to the sixth room in the front yard to meet the various offices and clerks one by one. Everyone was very polite to him.

Then, He Lanbing took him to meet three yamen runners, among which Kuaishou, the constable, was the most detailed introduction.

After introduction, Situ Ce learned that the captain in the county government was named Shi Meng. He was originally a hunter. He was very good at archery skills and was very good at tracking. The deputy captain was surnamed Xiao. Because he was born in the market, he had friends from all walks of life and was quick to move. He gave him nickname "Mouse". With his surname, he called him "Little Mouse". Few people mentioned his real name, but he was not annoyed by this nickname and accepted it calmly.

The constables who had previously gone to investigate the theft case of Helanbing in the restaurant had already described the new Ming Master's special investigation methods to others with a slight and conscience, and predicted that this person would definitely be used. So when Situ Ce came, the others were very flattering. Without Helanbing's arrangement, the only two female constables in the yamen came to Situ Ce to help clean up.

The two female constables, one of whom was named Yin, was the one who had previously cut the thief with her knife and asked Situ Ce to test. Because she was fat, she was nicknamed Yadan. However, it is said that her martial arts skills are the best among the county jail detectives. She was very enthusiastic and helped Situ Ce clean the house cleanly. She snatched the work of the little maid Linglong, making Linglong pouting boss unhappy.

Another female constable named Tang, who was nicknamed "Sugar Man" because she spoke sweetly. She broke a few pots of flowers from her home to decorate a room for Situ Ce, making the room fragrant.

The fat female detective Yadan glanced at the empty stomach, shook her body full of fat, stared at her small squinting eyes, and asked Situ Ce with a smile: "Master, how do you know?"

"What do you know?" Situ Ce asked.

"It was my knife that cut the thief? - You are alone in the back room and there are little rats guarding you. It is impossible for you to cheat. The blood on my knife has been wiped clean. I saw it with my own eyes and it is impossible to tell. How did you know that there is blood on my knife?"

Situ Ce smiled mysteriously: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed!"

This is usually said by some people in the Taoist craftsman. Yadan also thought that Situ Ce was a fortune teller, so he was naturally a Taoist craftsman and said in surprise: "Maybe he did fortune teller?"

Situ Ce was stunned and then laughed. Then he said more mysteriously: "The same sentence is still the same, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed! Hahaha."

He smiled and said this, making it even more mysterious. The Yadan became more and more convinced. He immediately looked at him with admiration and raised his thumb: "Sir, you are so god!"

The female detective candy man was placing a flower pot under the corridor. When he heard the laughter in the room, he ran in and looked at them: "What are you laughing at?"

Yadan hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered: "Tell you that Master Situ found the blood-stained knife before, which was calculated by fortune-telling. He is a very clever gentleman!"

"Really?" The sugar man widened his phoenix eyes, "How did he count?"

"It's good that I need to know, I can be a gentleman!" Yadan said with a smile. "Anyway, he will solve the case in the future, so let's just look at it."

“Yes!”

Situ Ce was too lazy to explain, and said, "I want to go out to buy some bedding and bedding, can you take me there?"

"Of course!" The two female constables took Situ Ce out of the back door from the yamen, came to the street, and took him to a familiar shop. The shopkeeper of the shop was so sweet that he sold Situ Ce a set of mattresses at a low price. They were carried by Yadan. Seeing that she looked effortless, Situ Ce did not ask him to carry it.

Thinking of becoming a famous criminal master, the criminal laws of the Ming Dynasty must be known. Situ Ce asked the two of them to lead the way, went to the book shop, bought a volume of Ming Dynasty rules, and also bought a regular script copybook and some books of interest. The Ming Dynasty used both traditional Chinese and vertical lines, so you must be familiar with traditional Chinese characters and vertical lines as soon as possible.

When the two female constables saw that he had bought so many books, they admired him very much. They were not literate and naturally respected scholars very much.

When the things were sent back, Cai Zhi County asked the maid to invite Situ Ce to dinner.

Since Helan Bing and Qian Gu Shiye were in the city, they would go home to eat, and only Situ Ce lived in the yamen, so his three meals a day were made by the magistrate, and prepared by the chef in the inner house. The maid Linglong brought it to Situ Ce in a food box, two meat, one vegetable and one soup. It was quite rich. Situ Ce was very satisfied. The dinner that night was a banquet for the magistrate, and Helan Bing and Qian Gu Shiye accompanied him. The banquet was not large, but it was very warm. Perhaps it was the first decent meal that Situ Ce had come over to eat, and he felt very warm.

After the banquet, Helanbing and Master Qian Gu left, and Situ Ce also returned to the study courtyard where he lived.
