More than ten days have passed since the case of Widow Li. During this period, Liu Hua first went back to his hometown and gathered with his parents. After living at home for two or three days, Liu Hua went to Qingshi County Government to report to take office.

As a result, when Liu Hua arrived at the county government office, the county magistrate Sun told him that he was no longer an official in Qingshi County, and his organization now fell in Yangzhou Prefecture, and asked Liu Hua to report to the Yangzhou Prefecture Office.

Hearing this, Liu Hua ran to the prefect's office to report again. After Huang Baishan saw Liu Hua, he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to settle Liu Hua? Liu Hua was a ninth-rank constable constable personally appointed by Kangxi, and at least he should be the chief constable.

But now the chief constable in the prefect's office is Tong Zhen. Although Tong Zhen has not had very outstanding achievements in recent years, he has not caused trouble. He has great prestige in the constable circle. If he rashly replaces his chief constable, Huang Baishan feels a little inappropriate.

After the two exchanged greetings, Huang Baishan hesitated for a moment and asked Liu to stay in the criminal arrest room. The position he gave him was the deputy chief inspector, who was specifically responsible for public security, taxation, criminal prison, interrogation, detention, case, certificate request, stability maintenance and other matters in Yangzhou Prefecture.

The office location of the criminal arrest house is located in the first row of the east head of the prefectural office. There are twelve houses in the entire office space, which corresponds to the twelve counties in Yangzhou Prefecture. In addition to the chief inspector Tong Zhen, there are also county teams under the criminal arrest house, each county team is responsible for all cases in one county.

Below the county team are the captains of each county government. Each captain is responsible for public security cases in a county. Apart from this, there will be no other department branches. Once a difficult case occurs in the jurisdiction, the local constables report to the county government government, and then the county government government headquarters report to the county team leader, and finally report to the chief commander. The process is very simple.

After a brief conversation with Tong Zhen, Tong Zhen proposed that Liu Hua be the chief constable, because Tong Zhen felt that Liu Hua was more than enough to be the chief constable, whether in terms of case handling ability or identity level.

After coming to Tong Zhen’s office, Liu Hua found that the office environment inside was very simple. Apart from two tables, there were only a few benches in the room. The two of them were kinder, and Tong Zhen pointed to a table and told Liu Hua that he would be his desk in the future.

Then, Tong Zhen introduced to Liu Hua that this room was the office of two people, and the room next to it was other office places in the arrest room. When you were fine, just let Liu Hua sit in the office and drink water.

Through Tong Zhen's introduction, Liu Hua just understood one thing. It turned out that the constable was divided into catchers and Kuaishou. The catcher was mainly responsible for arresting the murderers and arresting suspects in the case. Kuaishou's main job was to local tax collection, urge grain, and investigate and deal with those who resist taxes. They generally did not participate in the investigation and handling of cases.

If a difficult case occurs below, the captains of the local county government will report it. At that time, the arresters in the prefectural government will go down to investigate and handle the case. Once the tax payment season comes, the Kuaishou will need to appear.

After staying in the office for the whole morning, Liu Hua was so idle that he couldn't sit still. He didn't even have anything to do all morning. Seeing Liu Hua keep wandering around the room, Tong Zhen told Liu Hua that this kind of thing was very normal and he would gradually get used to it in the future.

After lunch at the yamen, Liu Hua was too lazy to go back to the arrest room, but went home directly.

The former Wu house has now become the Liu Mansion. Liu Hua spent three taels of silver to ask someone to make a solid wood horizontal plaque with gilded carvings on it, which read a large "Liu Mansion" from a distance, which looks very grand.

As for the yard, Liu Hua and Sun Shidong spent a day pulling out the grass in the yard and cleaning it carefully. Although most of the rooms seemed dilapidated due to disrepair, the two of them still cleaned out two cleaner rooms and moved in.

"Brother, if you weren't for your stunning beauty, we would definitely live in a magnificent house now, so how could we live in this broken place?" Looking at the dirty walls around and the empty house, Liu Hua couldn't help but complain.

"Brother, okay, I'm suffering with you, don't talk." After refuting, Sun Shidong leaned over and said, "Hey, Brother Liu, when will you go to the capital? Didn't that girl Linan ask you to solve the case?

Anyway, your torture house is nothing, why don’t we go to the capital? As long as you help Miss Linan solve the case in her mouth, we will have money again. By then, your Liu Mansion can continue to decorate. How about it? Will you go?"

"If you don't go, I don't have time now. Let's talk about it when I finish my work." After replying, Liu Hua took out the paper and pen, thought for a while, and then lay on the table to write something.

During this period, Liu Hua locked himself in the house all day long and thought about it. He wanted to form a department similar to the public security organs in later generations, but it was not so easy to set up a law enforcement agency out of thin air in the Qing Dynasty.

But no matter what, he had to try it. Liu Hua had a plan in his mind. No matter how difficult it was, he had to establish this institution and master it himself, and use it as the foundation for his future development. If he wanted to gain a foothold in feudal society, he had to have some trump cards under his command.

When he had a framework in his mind, Liu Hua began to take action. He first wrote an outline and then improved it for several days. When he felt that it was almost the same, Liu Hua took the plan to find Tong Zhen.

After all, Tong Zhen is the chief constable in the prefectural office and is in charge of the entire Yangzhou Prefecture. If he doesn't communicate with him, the subsequent plan will definitely not be easy to implement.

Tong Zhen was a little surprised when he saw Liu Hua, because Liu Hua had only stayed in the prefect's office for a whole morning, and then disappeared. It had been seven or eight days in a blink of an eye. Liu Hua had never come to work. Today, Tong Zhen was really uncomfortable when he came to the office.

After seeing Tong Zhen, Liu Hua first greeted him a few words, then told him about his plan and showed him his plan.

After listening to Liu Hua's plan, although Tong Zhen didn't say anything, his brows frowned into the word "chuan". After reading Liu Hua's plan, although Tong Zhen no longer felt sad, the expression on his face was still very serious.

Taking Tong Zhen's expression in his eyes, Liu Hua knew that he could not accept his plan for the time being, so he analyzed to Tong Zhen: "Chief, our constable industry is a bit rich, but it is difficult to become a great person. Not only does it have no future for development in the future, it will even implicate future descendants and cannot participate in the imperial examination.

However, once my institution is established, the situation will be very different. At that time, I will apply for a quota from the court to allow the excellent conductor to obtain grades and promotions. In this way, the brothers will have a chance in the future."

After Liu Hua finished speaking, Tong Zhen said in a deep voice: "Constable Liu, I know you are also considering it for the sake of your brothers, but have you ever thought about it? You, a ninth-rank sesame official, are adding me, a rankless surveillance officer, and want to form an institution with law enforcement power. Will the court approve it?

Even if the court approved it, how can we recruit personnel from this department in the future? I know that except for a few that can be used, the remaining people will only go to the people's homes to collect taxes.

In addition, where do we get the office location, funds and equipment? Our constable's work is quite special. We must have an independent office location and require a lot of funds to operate. Although our Yangzhou Prefecture is relatively wealthy, with my understanding of the prefect, it is impossible for him to allocate a large amount of funds to support a department with uncertain future.

Also, there are no empty houses in the prefect's yamen. If you set up this department, you must first find a house as an office space. This is a considerable expense. In addition, swords, clothing, horses, investigation equipment, interrogation and torture tools, equipment in the temporary detention room, and other items all require money.

In addition to these questions, there are many other problems that I won’t list for you one by one. Even if I am willing to support you, it will be useless. I want me to see that if you want to implement this plan, it will be too difficult. Maybe it will become a laughing stock. Let’s just forget it.”
