When Fan Hongdao came out of Lord Zhu's residence, it was already midnight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe then rushed back to the procuratorate office after moonlight, but saw that the door was closed.

As the old official Wei An said, the Ming Dynasty offices and city gates are the same, and the doors will be closed every night, prohibiting internal and external access, and will be opened again after dawn.

Fan Hongdao stood outside the gate, and shouted a few times in a low voice, if there was a servant on duty in the gatehouse inside, he should be able to hear it. Then say a few kind words to ask for a favor, open the small door and sneak in.

After a while, I heard the official inside ask, "Who is outside the door?"

Fan Hongdao hurriedly reported his name, and after a while, he heard someone say: "Friend Fan, doesn't you know that the yamen is forbidden to enter and leave at night?"

Fan Hongdao heard it clearly, this voice was actually the opposite Han Yanchang and Han Xiucai, and he couldn't help but secretly scream "It's over". Others may turn a blind eye to accommodation, but this Han Yanchang will definitely not give himself convenience.

It turned out that after the Gao Procuratorate took office, the four subordinates took turns to be on duty at night, and when there was any situation that needed to be dealt with, the official would call the person on duty to wake up, and it happened to be Han Xiucai's turn tonight.

"Fan Hongdao, you know the law, but you still want to be obsessed with the accident, it can be said that you know the law and break the law, aren't you ashamed! There is no urgent matter, this door can't be opened, I don't think you want to come in, it's better to reflect outside the door!"

Han Xiucai rarely grasped Fan Hong's mistake and taught a lesson through the door. Fan Hongdao was too lazy to ramble with him, so he turned around and left without saying a word, looking for a place to stay.

Although Fan Daxiu still didn't have any silver in his pocket at the moment, he didn't worry at all, after all, this Yanchi Siyan City in Hedong was different from the capital.

In this small Siyan City, the Salt Inspection Institute is the largest yamen. He, Fan Hongdao, is a close member of the lord of the procuratorate, as long as he reports his name, who can not sell face in the inns, hotels, restaurants?

So here at the gate of the government office, after not speculating, turn around and leave. Where can you not go in Siyan City, anyway, he Fan Hongdao will never pull down his face, and beg Han Xiucai to put himself in the government office.

And in the early morning of the next day, the sound of the Bangzi of the Procuratorate Office sounded, which indicated that Master Gao ascended to the hall and summoned his subordinates to see.

In fact, the movement here in the procuratorate is not too big, if it is replaced by a yamen with a large number of personnel and complicated business, such as the government and county government, the ceremony of arranging the government is as vigorous as the previous dynasty.

The number of people was well counted, Gao Yushi swept around twice, and immediately found that there was one person missing, so he asked suspiciously: "Where is Fan Hongdao?"

Wei Anyu reported: "After the dispersal yesterday, Fan Hongdao went out of the government office. ”

Gao Yushi asked Han Yanchang, who was on duty last night, "Have you ever seen him come back?"

Han Xiucai replied skillfully: "Yesterday, at the third watch, Fan Hongdao came back, and then left. ”

Gao Yushi frowned, he still didn't make up his mind last night, and he wanted to have a more in-depth discussion with Fan Hongdao this morning, but he didn't expect that Fan Hongdao was not here, and he didn't come home all night.

Immediately, Gao Yushi instructed the officials: "Wait until you go to the city to find Fan Hongdao, and let him come back if you find it!"

At this time, Menzi hurriedly entered the lobby and reported: "There is an innkeeper outside the door, saying that he is passing a message for a Mr. Fan!"

So Gao Yushi ordered the shopkeeper to be brought in, and then saw the shopkeeper come in to salute, and reported: "Mr. Fan stayed in the small shop last night, and then entrusted the little one to come to the procuratorate this morning to pass a message." ”

Gao Yushi hurriedly asked, "What did he ask you to say?"

Mr. Fan said that the local area is located at the junction of the three provinces, with ferries on the west and south. Since ancient times, it has been a major point for traffic, and there must be many historic sites nearby, so he wants to go out today to pay tribute to the historic sites, and he will not return to the government for the time being. ”

With Gao Yushi's good temper, he almost wanted to be rude at this time. He also thought that Fan Hongdao had something important to tell him, so he urgently invited someone else to pass the word, but he didn't want it to be like this!

Is it just because I didn't take his opinion yesterday that I went out to strike today?

Everyone also talked about it, and sighed that this Fan Hongdao was really talented and capricious.

Gao Yushi has a feeling that he has lived for a long time, he is over half a hundred years old in his life, but he has never seen such a willful subordinate.

Leave him alone, and then admonish him fiercely when he comes back, Gao Yushi thought secretly. There is a huge procuratorate office, and it is the same without Fan Hongdao!

Gao Yushi forcibly let go of Fan Hongdao in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, Menzi rushed in again and reported to Gao Yu Shiyu: "There are several groups of people outside, all of whom are family members of three salt merchants, and they are shouting outside the gate at this time that they will not let go!"

Yesterday, a salt merchant gathered to make trouble, and Fan Hongdao dealt with it on the spot, arrested the three leaders, and then tortured an important confession.

After that, the other salt merchants were released, but only these three were imprisoned in the procuratorate. So today, the families of the three families have come to the procuratorate to inquire about the news and ask for someone.

Gao Yushi discussed with all the subordinates: "Do you think these three people will let go or not?"

Everyone was silent for a while, these people were arrested by Fan Hongdao, the confession was asked by Fan Hongdao, and the ideas were all from Fan Hongdao, and they didn't have the confidence to die more.

With Fan Hongdao's temperament, he interfered indiscriminately in the things he was responsible for, who knows what Fan Hongdao would think? So they didn't know whether they should release or not, and in the face of the old imperial history's inquiry, they could only respond with silence.

The old Yushi was helpless, and asked again: "If you have any ideas, just say it, you don't have to hide it! Fan Hongdao, who is presiding over this matter, is not here, and he is relying on you to brainstorm ideas!"

There is really no way to answer this, and of course it is impossible to say whether to release or not to release people until you decide on your next move. If the people are released first, and then action is taken against the officials of the Salt Transportation Department, will there be a leak?

If they don't let people go, continue to block the news, and don't take action in the end, wouldn't that be a good thing to do for the government office for no reason? After all, if they catch three salt merchants for no reason and don't give a convincing reason, it really won't sound good to spread the word.

At this time, everyone can now see that Fan Hongdao drew a route at the beginning yesterday, and since the torture of salt merchants to extract confessions, it is difficult to have another way to go.

Out of caution, Gao Yushi may have concerns about Fan Hongdao's radicalism, and wanted to seek a safe way. As a result, I still walked into a dead end, and I haven't found any other way so far, maybe I have delayed the best time.

And the key is that even if others have ideas and ideas, they don't feel that they are better than Fan Hongdao, so they simply don't offer ugliness.

Gao Yushi couldn't help but sigh, could it be that without Fan Hongdao, things can't be done?

Han Xiucai stood up, straightened his body, slowly raised his hand to salute, and said to Gao Yushi with a resolute gaze: "If the boss doesn't dislike it, I'm making a wish!"

Gao Yushi hesitated slightly, is this Han Xiucai okay?
