Qian Yuan has always been very curious about Hai Rui, the most unique official in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and later generations have a somewhat complicated evaluation of him, acknowledging his personal integrity, but believing that he has no real ability to govern, and is just inviting names.

However, some people believe that Hai Rui's presiding over the entry of Huangpu into the sea during his tenure as governor of Yingtian has already shown his ability to govern and his spirit of hard work.

And the public opinion of this era is also polarized, some people think that Hai Jui has clean sleeves, is tough and straight, and can be the first in the world, but some people think that Hai Jui can be proud of frost and snow but not a pillar...... The latter statement comes from the famous Li Zhuowu's "Book Burning".

Qian Yuan had made a special inquiry before the meeting at the beginning of the year, Hai Rui was a native of Qiongshan, Hainan, and belonged to the Guangdong Political Embassy, so he should have been in the Guangdong Guild Hall, but no one was found...... A person from Qiongshan who took the examination told him that Hai Rui Jiajing failed to pass the examination twice in the 29th year and the 32nd year of Jiajing, and he was elected to teach officials three years ago.

Tsk, this kind of official is not in the stream, there is no grade of righteousness, Hai Rui can climb from a teaching to the county order of Fuyang County, Hangzhou Prefecture in just three or four years.

This time the matter is not big or small, Qian Yuan never thought about arguing with Hai Rui...... Since his family knows his own affairs, Qian Yuan's temperament is a little casual, and there are many places that contradict the conduct of orthodox scholars......

The key problem is that Hai Jui, a well-known Qing official...... You befriended him and became a stepping stone to the other party's reputation, you are enemies of him, not to mention whether you can do it or not, at least you are dyed.

The difference in cost and benefit is so great...... If he hadn't said that he would go to the meeting first, Qian Yuan really wanted Yang Wen to come forward and pull him down.

But when Qian Yuan came to the outside of Fuyang County and saw the guards who were in chains, his expression couldn't help but be gloomy.

A group of seventeen or eighteen people, straddling a tall horse, with a long knife on the waist and hips, is very eye-catching here in Fuyang County, Hai Rui, who is sitting in the county government, should have learned the news in advance, and is leading the arrester and the official out of the door.

Qian Yuan turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to Yang Wen, strode towards Hai Rui, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Haizhi County." ”

This is a typical southerner with a dark complexion and a small stature, with his hands behind his back, his long beard fluttering in the wind, his head held high, and he has the demeanor of a celebrity.

"It's really Beacon Hill." Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Silver." ”

The two guards carried two boxes and threw them over, kicking the lid open, and the inside were silver ingots with white flowers.

It's not that Qian Yuan confessed so quickly, the guards were numbered there, the temperature was so high, even if he didn't die, he had to peel off his skin, Qian Yuan had put so much effort into his subordinate escort team in the past few years, how could he chill the guards' hearts in such a trivial matter.

A catcher glanced at Hai Rui, and then cautiously showed a flattering smile at Qian Yuan, "This son, let him go, this is annoying." ”

Qian Yuan turned his head and motioned for Yang Wen to bring someone over, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the catcher, "Until now, you don't know who I am." ”

"So what!" Hai Rui's voice was a little hoarse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the catchers and officials behind him all shut up, "This official is impartial." ”

Glancing at Qian Yuan, who was dressed in disgust, Hai Rui added: "This official has written to the governor's yamen, and there is no such messenger in the palindrome. ”

"Impartiality?" Qian Yuan played with the horsewhip in his hand, and the smile on his face grew, "My family just stepped on a horse and injured passers-by, and apologized for the silver, but they were taken down by the county government, and they were at the door, and they were exposed to the scorching sun, and they actually had to pay a thousand taels of silver, which is really fair." ”

In later generations, there are so many film and television dramas about Hai Jui, most of which have clips of solving cases and enforcing the law fairly, but in history, Hai Jui has never said that law enforcement is fair.

Hai Rui said it clearly, "Rather than wronging the people, I would rather wronged the villagers." ”

"The city is so busy that it tramples on passers-by, which shows that he relies on the master's house on weekdays, is lawless and domineering." Hai Rui raised his eyebrows, "A thousand taels of silver is just a small punishment." ”

"Catch the thief and take the stolen goods, and catch the traitor and take the double." Qian Yuan was not polite at all, "Haizhi County's move is suspected of soliciting bribes. ”

Hai Rui was not angry, he only snorted coldly, and the head catcher behind him stood up and shouted: "I am up and down Fuyang County, who doesn't know the integrity of Haizhi County, just because the adults saw that the embankment was damaged a few days ago, so they raised money to repair the embankment......

It's a good thing that you want to build the embankment, but you want to steal the money from me...... Qian Yuan was so angry that he smoked,

"Isn't this a bribe?!" Qian Yuan interrupted: "It's just that other people have collected silver to buy wine, meat, and prostitutes, and he has spent thousands of taels of silver to buy a name!" ”

Well, Qian Yuan's words made those officials and catchers disdainful, a parent official is as honest as water, and he uses unplanned money to repair the river embankment, how can this be called an invitation?

"Hangzhou Prefecture is bordered by many rivers and seas, one prefecture and six counties, and the other five counties are training the township to prepare for the Japanese, but you Haigangfeng is holding the silver to repair the river embankment." Qian Yuan sneered: "If the Japanese invaders come to kill them, will you Haigang Peak use your reputation as incorruptible as water to fight against the Japanese invaders?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the others didn't dare to say anything, and Hai Rui could only go into battle by himself, "If the Japanese invaders kill Fuyang, it is the responsibility of the governor and governor." ”

"Oooh, got it." Qian Yuan took a step forward, "Anyway, it is not your responsibility to Haizhi County to kill how many Fuyang people the Japanese people killed, so you can intercept the messenger of the Governor's Mansion with impunity." ”

"He's not a messenger from the Doge's Palace!" The annoying catcher in the back suddenly shouted, "If it is a messenger sent by the governor's palace, there must be an official document on it!" ”

"You also searched your body...... Qian Yuan's gaze fell on the catcher, "You report your name." ”

This head catcher actually had a ghost in his heart, ignored Qian Yuan's question, and helped Hai Rui and said, "My lord, go back." ”

"Let you go?"

Before Qian Yuan's bland words were finished, the sound of choking knives coming out of the sheath came, and the guards drew their knives in their hands, faintly encircling Hai Rui and his party.

Yang Wen helped the guard who was called up and walked slowly, Qian Yuan handed over an inquiring look, and Yang Wen said softly: "It's no big deal." ”

The officials on the opposite side and the catcher were trembling with their legs, but Hai Rui was worthy of Hai Rui, but he strode forward and shouted: "Draw a knife at the county yakou, do you want to kill people and flee to the sea for the Japanese robbers?!" ”

Qian Yuan really had no place to vent the breath he was holding back today, "We are widows, and we are still crazy...... It's your Haigang Peak, and you're suspected of being a thief! ”

Without waiting for Hai Rui to go crazy, Qian Yuan half-turned his head and shouted, "Yang Wen, who is this person's surname, and when did he join the team?!" ”

"Guo Yuan, a native of Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, joined the team at the end of the thirty-second year of Jiajing, and in May of the thirty-third year of Jiajing, he fought in Chongde and beheaded eleven widows."

"In August of the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Huating City was suddenly attacked by a small group of Japanese pirates, and the Japanese were about to break the formation, the young master personally rushed into battle, Guo Yuan followed, defeated the Japanese pirates, and killed four out of thirty Japanese pirates in this battle."

"In November of the 33rd year of Jiajing, the Japanese invaded Hangzhou, forced the north of Xinguan, and at the foot of Linping Mountain, Guo Yuan led the guards to attack, and killed six out of fifty captured Japanese invaders."

"From March to July of the 34th year of Jiajing, Guo Yuan led a team to pursue thousands of miles with the army, killing countless Japanese robbers, and he did not retreat after three wounds."

The guards held waist knives at Hai Rui, and the officials and catchers behind Hai Rui whispered louder and louder, these people were all Hangzhou land snakes, very well-informed, and quickly guessed Qian Yuan's identity.

A few steps forward from the catcher, he whispered in Hai Rui's ear: "It's Huating Qian Yuan Qian Zhancai, the Jinshi of this section, the selection of Shu Jishi, went south two months ago, and the Governor personally set up a banquet at that time......

"Qian Zhancai became famous in the southeast a few years ago for his exploits in fighting the Japanese people, and he had a very good relationship with the governor, and the Qian family's guards were a thorn in the side of the Japanese robbers, but I am afraid that they are really messengers who go to the governor's palace......"

Glancing at Hai Rui's changing face, he asked tentatively: "Why don't you return the silver to him?" ”

A middle-aged man who looked like a clerk also took a few steps forward and whispered on the other side of Hai Rui: "In the battle of Linping Mountain, Qian Zhancai has a very high reputation in Hangzhou Mansion, and adults can't ...... it."

Hai Rui stared at Qian Yuan silently, his face was pale, and he just didn't say anything.

Qian Yuan thinks that how can a person like Hai Rui get mixed up in the officialdom and give you a step down the ladder and don't even know how to lift your feet?!

came up to say haha, condoled the guards, pulled Qian Yuan into the county office, and returned the silver to the head catcher under his command...... Isn't that the end of it?

It's a pity that if it's sleek, it's not Hai Rui.

The scene gradually turned from confrontation and solemnity to embarrassment, Qian Yuan didn't expect Hai Rui to go down the steps, now he was looking for a step down by himself.

Fortunately, this is when the savior came.

The person who came was Hu Zongxian's eldest son, Hu Guiqi, who came at a gallop, and a carriage could be seen following from a distance.
