While Lao Xing was recruiting people, Xiao Liu was not idle. He continued to patrol the streets as usual. The news of the bandits did not disrupt people's normal lives.
People are still doing business when they should do business, and going to the market when they should go to the market. Everything is the same as usual life.
Suddenly, just as Xiao Liu turned a corner, waves of clear sounds that he had never heard before came into Xiao Liu's ears.
"Mother Mencius once chose a place next to her. If her son fails to learn, he will lose his opportunity..."
Xiao Liu looked for the sound and saw that the clear sound of reading was coming from the courtyard with white walls and green tiles, which was the famous White Horse Academy.
Looking at the four big characters on the plaque at the entrance of the academy, Xiaoliu remembered that today is the first day of school for White Horse Academy.
Listening to the children reciting the Three-Character Sutra in unison, the clear and loud recitation reminded me of Xiaoliuxi's thoughts when he was at school.
Xiaoliu walked over curiously. He wanted to see how students in ancient times taught classes?
Xiaoliu's footsteps were light and soundless. He walked into the courtyard without attracting the attention of everyone in the classroom. He quietly looked around.
I saw children in different costumes sitting on desks. They held a scroll in their hands and read the Three Character Classic aloud with their teacher.
Every time the husband read a sentence, they read a sentence after him, and they also imitated the way he read, shaking their heads.
Xiao Liu couldn't help but find it very interesting to see the dozen or so children shaking their heads together.
Among this group of students who were shaking their heads, Xiao Liu was more familiar with Xiao Bei, the daughter of Widow Song of Dongjie, and Qiu Xiaodong, the son of Yuanwai Qiu.
He had never seen the rest. He thought they must be children from surrounding counties. After all, White Horse Academy is known as the top academy within a radius of 500 miles. There must be many parents who hope that their children can be admitted here.
As for their husband, he is an old man with silver hair and a long beard. He is not tall and a little pudgy.
But his complexion is very rosy, and it seems that he is the kind of person who pays more attention to health preservation. He is very energetic. I think this is the legendary Mr. Zhu who likes to engage in old business.
Perhaps due to different beliefs and concepts, Mr. Zhu did not have a straight face like a traditional teacher. Instead, he smiled very gently and taught and recited a sentence among the students, giving people a very friendly feeling. a feeling of.
After Xiaoliu listened to Mr. Zhu's lecture for a while, he found that Mr. Zhu was only explaining the meaning of the Three Character Classic to them and teaching them to recite it, so he gradually lost interest.
After all, when it comes to memorizing, Xiaoliu is now a tape recorder. He had already learned the meaning of the Three Character Classic, so Xiao Liu left the academy quietly after a while.
But turning around and looking at the gate of the academy, Xiao Liu felt that he should come and listen occasionally. After all, it was hard to pretend to be illiterate.
"Come on, Captain Yan! Come on, Captain Yan!" At this moment, a familiar voice came. Xiaoliu turned around and saw that it was the county government servant.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Liu asked with a smile.
Zhou Yamen, who quickly ran to Xiao Liu, said breathlessly.
"Captain Yan, Magistrate Lou is looking for you and wants you to go see him."
"Yeah." Xiaoliu frowned upon hearing this. This was an unusual situation.
"Did something happen to Brother Zhou?" Xiao Liu asked quickly.
Hearing Xiao Liu's inquiry, Yamen Zhou waved his hands breathlessly. "No, it's a good thing. Congratulations, Inspector Yan, you are about to be promoted."
"Well, promoted?" Xiao Liu couldn't help but be a little confused. What official was he promoted to? His master hasn’t retired yet! Could it be that he was transferred to a civil service job, but now is the time for the county government to hire people, so it shouldn't be.
"Okay, don't ask. It's a good thing anyway. You should go see Lou Zhixian quickly." Zhou Yamen didn't hear clearly just outside the door, so he hurriedly urged Xiao Liu to go.
Although Xiaoliu had just arrived in Qixia Town not long ago, his relationship with everyone in the county government was very harmonious. After all, everyone he met called him Big Brother. With such a sweet mouth, how could the relationship be bad?
"Okay, Brother Zhou, thank you." Xiao Liu gave Zhou Yamen a small fist, turned around and walked quickly towards the county government.
Although he knows that Lou Zhixian has something to do with him, Xiao Liu knows that every move he makes now is seen by the people of Qixia Town, and he is their rock, so no matter what he does, he must do it in a hurry. .
Soon, Xiao Liu returned to the county government office. At this time, Lao Xing at the gate of the county government office was worrying about selecting manpower, so Xiao Liu gave him an idea to outlast his endurance.
"Quick, Captain Yan, come in quickly, the master is waiting for you." As soon as Xiaoliu walked into the gate of the county government office, the master happened to come out.
"Okay, Master." Xiao Liu nodded to Master, without asking what it was about. He knew that some people could ask and some people couldn't.
Xiao Liu walked into the lobby. Lou Zhixian was checking the official documents of the past few days. When he saw Xiao Liu coming, he quickly asked Xiao Liu to sit down.
"Xiao Liu, come on, sit down."
"Thank you, Sir." Xiao Liu was not polite. Lou Zhixian obviously wanted to discuss something with him, but he still paid attention to etiquette. He only sat down with half his buttocks, and his back was straight.
Lou Zhixian nodded with satisfaction when he saw Xiao Liu doing this. He waved his hand, and the servant beside him brought a cup of green tea.
Xiaoliu smiled and nodded to the servant to thank him. Lou Zhixian saw all this.
Lou Zhixian did not go directly to the topic with Xiao Liu, but started to chat with Xiao Liu, both about family matters and his views on work.
Listening to these topics that Lou Zhixian talked about, Xiao Liu knew that Lou Zhixian was inspecting him, and it seemed that he was really going to be promoted.
Although he didn't know what official position he would be promoted to, Xiao Liu still gave detailed answers one by one.
. . .
Xiaoliu's answer made Lou Zhixian very satisfied. He nodded repeatedly with a smile. Seeing that the inspection was almost done, Lou Zhixian also started to get to the point.
"Xiao Liu, although you have been on duty for a short time, your understanding of the duty of a police officer is extraordinary. Your performance in the past half month has been noticed by me. Now is the time to employ people. Now, after careful consideration, I intend to make an exception and promote you to the position of deputy chief catcher. Are you likely to take on this important task?" Lou Zhixian stroked his beard and asked Xiao Liu in a deep voice.
Although Xiaoliu didn't know why the position of deputy arrester suddenly appeared, he still stood up immediately and responded.
"Although Xiaoliu is not talented, when it comes to guarding thieves, he does not dare to risk his life or death. He is willing to do his best to eliminate the thieves and ensure the peace of the people!"
"Okay! You have determination and momentum! Then from today on, you will be the deputy inspector of my Seven Heroes Town, starting from the ninth rank official rank."
"Thank you, sir!"
