Linghu Ding smiled and said: "Aren't you good at solving crimes? This is what the county magistrate needs most. There are people around the magistrate who are proficient in criminal law. There are so many scribes in his torture chamber, as well as classics and history, who are also proficient in criminal law. They

A judgment will be made and sent to you. You can review it to see if it is suitable, sign it if it is suitable, and then send it to the county magistrate for direct approval. You really don’t have much work to do in terms of paperwork. The most important thing is

You want to solve the case for the county magistrate."

"The previous Master Xing Ming had a quarrel with the county magistrate because he was not qualified for this, so he resigned. Because what the magistrate lacked was someone to help him solve the case. As long as you can handle this aspect, it will be fine. The writing aspect is

There are plenty of people below you to help you get it done."

When Qiu Wuhen heard this, it would be easy if that was the case. It was just solving cases. This was his strength. He felt at ease and said, "Okay, Mr. Kuang, please help me go and talk to the county magistrate.

"

Linghu Ding nodded, looked at Qiu Wuhen and said: "I helped you with this, I hope you can also help me, how about it?"

Qiu Wuhen smiled and said: "Your daughter Linghu Zhi once said that we are all talented people, we are all in the same boat, and we should help others to do harm. So if you help me, I should also help you to do harm, haha, tell me."

Linghu Ding was a little embarrassed and said: "This girl always uses idioms indiscriminately. I told her that she must understand the meaning of idioms and use them in appropriate circumstances. If used indiscriminately, she will make a joke. But she didn't listen and still went her own way. Alas,

It’s my fault that I doted on her too much since she was a child.”

Qiu Wuhen just teased him and said with a smile: "What do you need me to help you with?"

"I would like to ask you to help me with some students' homework when you are free, how about it? Sometimes I am too busy and need a helper."

Qiu Wuhen thought to himself, you are just a full-time teacher. Even if you have other things to deal with, are you still busier than me? I have to go to work and go to Jinzhitang to see a doctor.

But thinking about it, he still didn't say it. Since people had spoken and helped him so much, of course he couldn't make excuses saying that he was also very busy and couldn't help him, so he should squeeze in some time.

After all, there is a saying that goes well, time is like water in a sponge, there is always time to squeeze.

So he said: "Okay, no problem, what do you need me to do? But you still have to teach the Four Books and Five Classics. I can't teach these things as well as you, and one teacher can teach better. Two teachers can teach the same thing."

It's easy to conflict, after all, our understanding may be different."

Linghu Ding nodded and said: "Of course I won't ask you to help me give lectures. The main reason is that when I ask them to study by themselves, they have some questions and they need someone to answer them. You can help them clear up their doubts and answer the questions. That's it."

"

Qiu Wuhen thought to himself, I can't answer the question because I didn't inherit the scholar's memory. But again, since someone helped me, I have to reciprocate and agree first, and then think of a way.

At worst, I'll find other excuses when the time comes, and it won't be easy to deal with a few brats.

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said: "No problem, I will try my best to squeeze in time to tutor them."

After receiving Qiu Wuhen's agreement, Linghu Ding was also very happy and said that he would immediately go to the county magistrate to tell him about Master Xing Ming, and asked Qiu Wuhen to wait for his results in the execution room.

Qiu Wuhen could only sit for a moment when a servant came over quickly, bowed and said, "Mr. Qiu, the magistrate has invited you!"

As soon as the word "please" came out, a bunch of people in the entire execution room were shocked.

It is impossible for the county magistrate to use the word "please" to a scribe unless the person is very noble.

Even though Qiu Wuhen is a scholar, it is impossible for the magistrate to honor him with the word "affection". This servant is a person close to the magistrate and knows the importance of words. Unless the magistrate really says so, he cannot talk nonsense.

Editor, he knows the importance of these two words.

All kinds of inferences can only lead to one conclusion, that is, Qiu Wuhen must have been so lucky that the county magistrate had to use the word "please" to express his respect for him.

So what kind of bad luck did he have? No one had an answer in their heads for a moment.

This follower really wasn't just talking nonsense, the county magistrate actually used this word.

Because Qiu Wuhen is about to become the magistrate's master. Although the two of them have an employment relationship with the magistrate, because the magistrate needs others and the master plays a big role in helping the magistrate to be a good official, the magistrate will pay great attention to the hired master.

I respect you very much, so that I can get the wholehearted help from my master.

Qiu Wuhen followed his entourage to the magistrate's signing room.

After entering the house, he saw the skinny Fei Zhixian chatting and laughing with Linghu Ding. Seeing Qiu Wuhen come in, the Zhixian quickly stood up, held his hands in front of him and said in greeting, "Mr. Qiu is here."

When they met in the past, Qiu Wuhen always saluted first, but the magistrate just nodded lightly and said yes, without even raising his hand in return. But this time, not only did he stand up and greet him proactively, but he also raised his hand in person.

It can be seen that the master's status in the eyes of the county magistrate is indeed very high.

Qiu Wuhen also returned the courtesy and said: "Greetings, sir!"

Fei Zhixian was hurriedly polite and said: "Sir, you're welcome. I heard from Mr. Linghu that you are willing to be my Xingming Master and help me solve the case. I am really happy. Then I will have a lot of work in the future."

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said, "No problem."

He nodded in agreement, and the magistrate was very happy. He immediately took out a letter of appointment and filled it out in his own hand and stamped it with his personal seal.

Because Mr. Xing Ming was a privately hired staff member of the county magistrate, as long as he signed the document, it would be effective.

The magistrate handed the letter of engagement to Qiu Wuhen with both hands in his hands.

Qiu Wuhen hurriedly took it. Linghu Ding glanced at it and found that there was no amount of money written on the betrothal letter. He immediately said: "Dong Weng, how much is Mr. Qiu's betrothal gift? We need to clarify it in person."

When money was mentioned, Feixian's face twitched involuntarily.

Linghu Ding is thick-skinned and can speak well because he is a teacher, so he needs to make it clear at the beginning to avoid a fight between the two parties later. Qiu Wuhen was recommended by him. If this matter does not go well,

That means it's incomparable.

When Qiu Wuhen saw the magistrate in such a difficult position, he knew that money was his flesh, so no wonder he felt so distressed.

Seeing Linghu Ding staring at him with bright eyes, Fei Zhixian gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh, and said: "One thousand eight hundred articles per month, what do you think?"

Before Qiu Wuhen could speak, Linghu Ding waved his hand and said: "Too young, Mr. County Magistrate, he is Master Xingming, and he is the most critical among all your masters. The case of the murder of the chief clerk proves that he

With the ability, at least 2,000 yuan is suitable."

Qiu Wuhen didn't expect that Linghu Ding would actually bargain for him. Fei Zhixian's face turned bitter: "That's what I said, but criminal cases, especially major criminal cases, don't happen very often in this county."

When Qiu Wuhen saw Linghu Ding helping him bargain with the county magistrate, it would be shameful for him not to express his position. He immediately shook his head and said: "Dong Weng, it may not be that criminal cases don't happen often, but that they are not discovered when they happen, and they are not detected when they are discovered.

.There should be many cases hidden in civil cases or ordinary disputes, and we just ignore them. In fact, many cases are actually criminal cases and should be investigated. But we do not have the power to investigate and deal with them, so we open our eyes.

Close one eye."

These words were actually his guesses, but they were correct. Fei Zhixian couldn't help but change his face.

Indeed, many cases were actually suppressed by him and were not reported to the police. Some murder cases were obviously homicides, but because they were unable to detect them, they were deemed to be accidental deaths or deaths from illness. This was a pain in his heart.

If these cases can be successfully solved, it will certainly be of great benefit to his political performance, and there will be no need to conceal the facts of the case unconscionably.

However, the two thousand yuan was indeed too high. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense, so let's do this. One thousand nine hundred yuan cannot be higher."

Linghu Ding shook his head and wanted to say more, but Qiu Wuhen said first, "Okay, I agree, just 1,900 yuan."

Linghu Ding was stunned and glared at him, thinking that he would be able to get it at this price, but Qiu Wuhen, as the party involved, had already agreed, so how could he continue to increase the price?
