The matter of helping the local martyrs, festival women and martyrs to invite them is not in a hurry, because this is not something that the lord of Zhizhou can say, and it must be reported to the prefect, the Taoist platform, the feudal platform, and the system stage step by step, and then the Yamen of the system will report to the Ministry of Rites, and then the Ministry of Rites will play the emperor and ask the emperor for permission.

In short, this is something that cannot be rushed, and it is not a trivial matter. And if Dean Gu, Wang Jiansheng and Yu Jiansheng wanted to ask Han Xiufeng to do this important thing, they had to help Han Xiufeng appease the "young and strong" relatives who died in battle. They couldn't care about the obscurity in the yamen anymore, and followed Han Xiufeng back to the second hall of the yamen for a light meal, and then went to the lobby to deal with Pan Er.

With the presence of these three respected squires, things were much easier.

Those skinny relatives who came to collect the corpse hugged the corpse and cried as soon as they entered the yamen, they were so comforting, moved with affection, and knew with reason, so that those skinny relatives not only did not dare to mess around, but knelt down and thanked them under their leadership, which made Han Xiufeng very uncomfortable.

Looking at the gratitude of those cheeky relatives, and then thinking of the official letter that Zhang Daring wrote in the morning, Xu Lequn's heart suddenly felt a little hairy. In front of Han Xiufeng, he didn't dare to put on a literati posture like before, and he didn't even dare to sit anymore, so he stood aside like a servant.

"Mr. Xu, sit down!"

"Master Han, I sat all morning, and it was uncomfortable to sit, so it was more comfortable to stand."

After reading the last transcript, Han Xiufeng raised his head and said with a smile: "Since you have to stand, then stand, but you can't forget about the business, more than a dozen boats of gong salt are by the river of Chenghuangmiao, when will your old boss come over and transport the salt away?" ”

Xu Lequn is now most afraid of the young inspector in front of him laughing, because this young inspector is really a smiling tiger, and they all said that they sold people, and they also helped count the money. He made a person die in his family, and people should be grateful to him in turn. Xu Lequn was even more scared when it came to Gongyan, because there should have been news in the morning, but no one came to report it by this time.

He calmed down, pretending to be calm and said: "Master Han, the family of the late born doesn't know where to go, and they are busy helping Master Zhang in the morning, and they haven't bothered to send a letter to Master Bao, or the late student will go there in person." ”

Han Xiufeng asked with a smile: "Go to Fu'an to find Master Bao?" ”

"That's the only way, if you don't go later, how will Master Bao know that the private salt has been seized by you, Master Han?" The gentleman does not stand on the dangerous wall, and the more Xu Lequn thinks about it, the more bottomless he feels in his heart, and he feels that he cannot stay here for a long time.

How could Han Xiufeng let him slip away, and said with a smile: "How can this matter be done by Mr. Xu himself, just write a letter and send it to someone." ”

"Master Han, this is a big deal of tens of thousands of taels of silver, so let's go there in person."

As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Calculating the time, Second Young Master Zhang should have arrived, Han Xiufeng got up and walked out of the second hall, only to see Zhang Guangcheng and Li Xiucai coming with a few servants, and the servants were also holding two big men with wooden flails, one of whom had a leg injury and walked with a limp.

"Master Han, I've kept you waiting!" Zhang Guangcheng smiled with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, aren't you here to escort the criminals, what's the matter with these two?" Han Xiufeng looked at the two men wearing wooden shackles behind him, thought about it and muttered, "These two people look a little familiar, Xiufeng seems to have seen them somewhere." ”

"Not only have you seen it, Master Han, but this gentleman behind you, Master Han, must have seen it." Zhang Guangcheng looked at Xu Lequn, who was already frightened, and then looked back at the two people who had just been escorted and said, "As far as I know, they have been selling peanuts at your door for several days, Master Han, I don't know if you have bought them, Master Han." ”

"I said why is it so familiar, but it's not illegal to sell peanuts, Brother Zhang, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

"Mr. Li, you know their details best, you tell Master Han."

"Yes." Li Xiucai first bowed his hand, then looked at Xu Lequn, whose legs were trembling with fright, and said with a smug smile: "Master Han, one of these two thieves is from Huaibei, surnamed Ding, called Ding Dayong; One is a native of Bozhou, Anhui Province, surnamed Guan, called Guan Laifu, who has practiced for several years, is good at using a big knife, and is nicknamed Guan Dadao. Both of these people have criminal records, they are both wanted criminals by the imperial court, and they are both the nursing homes of Master Bao's family in Fuanchang! ”

"There is such a thing!" Han Xiufeng was "taken aback", and subconsciously turned around and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you recognize these two people, what is going on?" ”

Looking at the blood stains on Ding Dayong and Guan Laifu, Xu Lequn realized that something had happened to the twenty-six boats of salt. He regretted it, secretly thinking that he had missed Li Xiucai's calculations, and he didn't know how to answer in the face of Han Xiufeng's rhetorical question.

"Mr. Xu, these two are fugitives, and harboring fugitives is not a trivial matter! Do you recognize these two people, and are these two people the nursing home of Master Bao's family? ”

"Master Han, these two are not only fugitives, they not only carry several lives on their backs, but also cooperate with Yizhen Jiang Changyu and other bandits to traffick illicit salt. After being surrounded by us, the dog jumped over the wall and resisted stubbornly, five officials died in their hands, and even more officials and young men were injured in their hands! ”

"Brother Zhang, Mr. Li, so you also seized a batch of illicit salt?" Han Xiufeng asked in surprise.

"Well, it was seized in the river south of Zhongjiazhuang."

Xu Lequn didn't believe that Han Xiufeng didn't know anything about it, and then thought that the matter had come to this point, and he really couldn't excuse it, so he laughed and said: "What a praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind, Master Han, Xu admires!" ”

Without waiting for Han Xiufeng to speak, Zhang Guangcheng shouted: "Above the lobby, how can you be allowed to run rampant." Come on, take him down! ”

"Yes!" The state ya's arrester quickly responded, rushed up, pushed Xu Lequn to his knees, and put handcuffs and wooden shackles.

"Misunderstanding, Brother Zhang, this must be a misunderstanding."

"Master Han, this is really not a misunderstanding."

"But ......"

"This is not the place to talk, Master Han, why don't you change places and come together."

"Okay, Brother Zhang, please." Han Xiufeng accompanied Zhang Guangcheng to the door of the second hall, and then turned back and said: "A few of you listen to the official, this is the yamen of the inspection department, Mr. Xu is still a friend of the official before everything is clear, and you should be polite to the official to Mr. Xu, if anyone dares to do anything to Mr. Xu, don't blame the official for not giving face to Young Master Zhang!" ”

"Master Han, don't worry, he is a repeat offender, and the little ones don't dare to move their hands and feet."

"Young master, I'm watching here." Pan Er pretended to be very concerned, squatted down and held the wooden flail and said, "Mr. Xu, don't worry, with my young master here, you will be fine." ”

Trafficking in illicit salt is already a head-to-head business, not to mention that it has been stolen, Xu Lequn is not as afraid as before, and looked at Pan Er with a smile and said: "Yes, it seems that Xu can only count on Master Han to rescue him." ”
