Chapter 85: I'm Afraid of Death (II)

There was nothing to say all night, and after the next day, there was a ferry official Zhang Luo who crossed the river by boat, so there was no need for Gao Yushi and his party to worry about it. While waiting, Fan Hongdao stood on the bank of the Yellow River with his hands in his hands, looking at the rolling waves thoughtfully.

Gao Yushi was bored, so he chatted with Fan Hongdao and asked, "Xiansheng has seen the river for a long time, what do you think?"

Fan Hongdao replied: "Thinking of the famous general Zong Ze of the Zhao and Song dynasties who served the country loyally, before he died, he still shouted three times to cross the river. ”

Gao Yushi: "......"

After crossing the Yellow River from Maojin, it is immediately necessary to cross the Zhongtiao Mountains, and the salt pond is at the foot of the northern side of the Zhongtiao Mountains. Although the name is called Salt Pond, it is actually a saltwater salt lake.

In the places where salt is produced in the Ming Dynasty, sea salt is the majority, and the salt fields such as Lianghuai, Liangzhe, and Zhili Changlu are all sea salt, and only the Hedong salt field is pool salt.

This salt pond is located in the territory of Jiezhou, east of the state city of Jiezhou. It is in the shape of a long and narrow shape, more than 50 miles long from east to west, and 7 miles wide from north to south. In winter, salt flowers will be formed, and then salt households will take salt flowers to make salt, and the method is very different from the sea salt drying method.

The Patrol Salt Imperial History Station is called the Inspectorate, but this Inspectorate is not in Jiezhou City, but has a separate Siyan City, which is located in the middle of the north bank of the salt pond.

There is not only the Imperial Historical Inspection Institute of Salt Patrol in Siyan City, but also the Salt Transportation Department in charge of salt affairs, and the Inspection Department in charge of public security. 【△Net】

In Siyan City, the highest-ranking official is the third-grade salt transport envoy, but the highest-ranking official is the seven-rank salt patrol imperial history, which is determined by the Ming Dynasty's special system of supervising officials.

The Salt Patrol is responsible for supervising the Salt Transportation Division, and the accounts of the Salt Transportation Division are audited by the Salt Patrol Imperial History, and the officials of the Salt Transportation Department are subject to the assessment of the Salt Patrol Imperial History.

Under such a mechanism, the low-grade Salt Patrol Imperial Shi gradually became the highest governor in Siyan City. As for the Salt Transportation Division, it has gradually evolved into a technical and practical yamen that is only responsible for on-site production and external transportation.

All the way across the river and through the mountains, Fan Hongdao followed Gao Yushi to Jiezhou City. After walking twenty or thirty miles to the east, we arrived at the final destination of this trip, Siyancheng.

The city's supreme governor arrived, and the officials of the Salt Transportation Division, the Inspection Division, and the school were all at the city gate to greet him. Gao Yushi got out of the car, encouraged everyone a few words, and then went into the city to settle down.

Naturally, there will be a welcome banquet or something, but it is all a later story, and it will only be opened after Gao Yushi has settled down in the Inspectorate.

The Salt Imperial Historical Inspectorate covers a very spacious area, after all, the salt industry yamen can be called one of the richest yamen in the Ming Dynasty, and the repair of the yamen must not be bad.

In the procuratorate office, there were originally dozens of servants of various colors, all of whom were requisitioned and provided by the local government, which was enough for the daily use of the government office.

Gao Yushi entered the government office and settled down, and Fan Hongdao suddenly suggested: "If you taste and smell it below, you must first settle inside." The boss has taken office this time, and his responsibilities are heavy, and he has attracted attention both inside and outside. In the following opinion, it is better to sort out the original servants of this procuratorate to avoid trouble on the side of the couch. ”

Gao Yushi felt that Fan Hongdao was thinking too much at first, and he was too cautious, but it was not unreasonable to think about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with being careful, and it was not a bad thing to sort out the servants of the procuratorate.

So Gao Yushi said casually: "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"Order!" Fan Hongdao responded, then quickly turned around and left, three steps and two steps disappeared from in front of Gao Yushi, showing a strong enthusiasm for work and the spirit of vigorous implementation.

After settling down briefly, it was already afternoon, and Gao Yushi was a little sleepy, so he took a nap on the couch. He had just fallen asleep groggily when a noise came from outside the courtyard, waking up the old imperial history.

Gao Yushi held back his anger and asked what was going on. Outside the door, the chief replied, "There is an old local servant who is making a noise, as if it is because he has been retrenched. ”

Somehow, the old imperial historian remembered Fan Hongdao, and he intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with Fan Hongdao, so he called the old servant in and asked him personally.

But I saw the old servant crying: "The villain has been on an errand in the procuratorate for generations, and the father and son have been in place for decades. Today, for some reason, he was suddenly dismissed, the family had no food and clothing, and the villain was not convinced!"

The nature of the court servants and the yamen servants is the same, they are both fathers and sons, and in a sense, they are also iron rice bowls. Being abruptly laid off can really have a serious impact on life.

Gao Yushi hurriedly called someone to call Fan Hongdao, pointed to the old servant and asked, "Is there a reason?"

Fan Hongdao replied: "This is a suspicious person, and he should be cleared out of the procuratorate." ”

Gao Yushi was slightly surprised, it was just a god, it was only half a day, and he was not familiar with the place, and he could really find out unreliable people?

Fan Hongdao replied again: "According to the inquiry, his ancestral home is Puzhou, and the ancestral house is only one street away from the Zhang family, so he is a suspicious element!"

Gao Yushi finally understood what a suspicious element was. Fan Hongdao's imaginary enemy is the Zhang family in Puzhou, and he fantasizes that the Zhang family sent someone to go undercover in the procuratorate, but anyone Fan Hongdao thinks may have anything to do with the Zhang family are suspicious elements.

It's just that Fan Hongdao's clearance standards are really a bit strict, because his ancestral home is Puzhou, and the ancestral house and the Zhang family are not far away, which is suspicious?

You must know that Puzhou and Jiezhou are adjacent to each other, and the population ties are very close, if there are people in Jiezhou whose ancestral home is Puzhou, it is normal, and it is not worth making a fuss.

Then Fan Hongdao handed over the list and reported: "After interrogation and investigation, there are a total of 26 suspicious elements in the procuratorate office, please take a look." In the next suggestion, get all the people on the list out!"

Gao Yushi was speechless for a long time, there were more than forty registered servants in the procuratorate, and Fan Hongdao said a suspicious element lightly, and he directly cut off more than half.

In just half a day, such a high proportion of suspicious elements were interrogated, Gao Yushi didn't know whether to praise Fan Hongdao for his high efficiency, or if he was nervous? Twenty-six suspicious elements among more than forty people, so are there any good people in Hongdong County!

Gao Yushi decided to give Fan Hongdao a little face, and asked vaguely: "If all of them are reprimanded, and the twenty-six families cry, what should we do?"

Fan Hongdao saw that Gao Yushi couldn't make up his mind for a long time, so he gritted his teeth and said: "I'd rather kill 3,000 by mistake than slip through the net! Those who retreat can be diverted to the Jiezhou Prefecture Office, the Salt Transportation Department Office, or the surrounding county offices, but they just can't stay in the Procuratorate Office!"

If this is the case, the movement will become even louder. I'm afraid that in two or three days, Fan Hongdao's tossing energy will spread all over the nearby prefectures and counties.

Old Yushi really wanted to ask Fan Hongdao, do you have a delusion of persecution, and everyone looks like the Zhang family sent to harm you? In the end, a thousand words could only be powerlessly turned into one sentence: "What do you think?"

Fan Hongli replied bluntly: "Because I'm afraid of death!"

This answer is very familiar, before leaving, in the Beijing Huitong Pavilion, Gao Yushi asked Fan Hongdao why he provoked Zhang Jiazheng, and Fan Hongdao replied inexplicably, "I'm afraid of death", I don't want to hear this answer again today.
