As he spoke, there was a commotion outside.

Han Xiufeng and Guan Zhutou walked out of the pergola and took a look, only to see more than a dozen boats going down the river and heading straight for Chaotianmen Wharf. You can clearly see that the ship is full of flags, and you can even see the wooden signs on the bow of the ship that say "Silence" and "Avoid".

When the eldest lord goes out on patrol, he must avoid it when he encounters it on the road, and the same must be true when he encounters the official ship of the eldest lord, otherwise it will be light to take a whip. What's more, it's not an ordinary old man, but the famous "Copper King"!

The boatmen on the dock don't want to collide with the "Copper King", and they don't want to be blocked by the "Copper King" on the side of the dock for a few days. The shippers were more anxious than the shippers, shouting "go quickly" at the top of their voices. However, there were too many boats leaning on the side of the pier, and there was no time to tie them outside, and the cables tied to the shore couldn't go if they wanted to, so they could only watch and be in a hurry.

Thinking that every year, there are shipowners or shippers who go to the Yamen to complain because they are blackmailed by the "Copper Heavenly King", and the old man is all with mud, Guan Zhutou couldn't help but sigh: "It's here again, year after year, when is it a head!" ”

Han Xiufeng smiled bitterly: "Unless the imperial court no longer uses Yunnan copper to cast money." ”

"How is this possible, the imperial court lacks nothing but money, there is no Yunnan copper and Guizhou lead, what will the imperial court use to mint money."

"So there's no such thing at all."

At this time, what had happened once a year for nearly a hundred years was repeated in front of the eyes of the two of them again.

More than a dozen boats lined up, and the sound of the boatmen's trumpets came from afar, and more than 30 boats, large and small, that were erected vertically at the wharf, surrounded the shore.

"This time, the transport official is a county master." Han Xiufeng muttered.

"Fourth brother, how do you know?" Pan Er asked curiously.

"It's not easy." Without waiting for Han Xiufeng to speak, Yu Youfu said proudly: "The gong is sounded seven times, and the official shouts that the gentleman is not heavy, then he is not powerful, this is the honor guard of the state and county main hall to patrol." ”

"And this is exquisite?"

"Yes," Han Xiufeng felt that Yu Youfu hadn't made it clear, and explained like a few treasures: "Striking the gong seven times is what is often said to hit the 'seven stick gongs', reminding and warning the soldiers and civilians to get out of the way." If a gentleman is not important, he is not authoritative, because the main hall of the state and county is an official close to the people, and he has the most contact with the people, and if he wants to have prestige, he must be self-respecting and self-reliant. ”

Pan Er seemed to understand whether he understood or not, thought about it and muttered: "He is a county master in Yunnan, why should he show off his power on the territory of our Ba County!" ”

"An official is an official, and the people are the people. As long as he is not in the capital, as long as he is not in the capital, he can show off his might. Han Xiufeng said, but his eyes kept staring at the official ship where the transport officer was.

I saw more than a dozen officials and three or four guys who looked like they were long-term followers, or armed with blades, or holding water and fire sticks, or holding chains that took people, jumping from the official ship to the surrounded cargo ship with great momentum, and then jumping ashore from the cargo ship, blocking the way of the shipwrecks and cargo owners, and shouted: "According to the order of the Dian Constitution, the official copper, the military and civilians will all dodge, and the violators will be punished!" ”

"Poor master, I'll flash and I'll flash, let me go up, okay?" A porter asked, pointing to the shore with a bitter face.

"Where do you want to go, I don't know if you have stolen official copper! The old man didn't speak, and no one wanted to leave. ”

"Poor master, you see that I don't have anything on me, how can I steal official copper!"

"If you don't have it, you didn't steal it, if you hide it!"

"Did you throw the stolen official copper into the river, and want to wait for us to leave before coming to fish?"

……

In this situation, even Guan Tou, who usually extorts a lot, can't stand it, and gritted his teeth and scolded: "It is said that one generation is not as good as the next, this is not as good as one time, even the poor tinkering porter does not let go, it is really vicious!" ”

The eighth master saw that he was anxious in his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Those are all from our Sichuan Gang." ”

It is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, but now the strong dragon does not put the head snake in his eyes at all, and Guan Zhutou feels very faceless, but this kind of thing doesn't even care about the county, the prefect and even the Daotai, what can he do as a head of the fishing team, he can only say coldly: "Eighth master, don't worry, they are just scared and scared, and they dare not come to the real thing." ”

Han Xiufeng also couldn't manage it, but he didn't want to delay his work any longer, so he turned around and said, "Uncle Guan, you are staring here, I will meet the county master when I get on the boat." ”

"Go ahead, if he doesn't know what's wrong, don't talk nonsense with him. Wait for us to give him a personal stolen goods, and see if he dares to show off his power again. ”

"Yes, I went."

Han Xiufeng smiled and walked down the hill quickly, ignoring everything that was happening around him, until he walked up to a guy who looked like him.

"May I ask who you are......" The chief of the transport officer was also clever, and when he saw Han Xiufeng wearing a nine-grade official uniform, he hurriedly called a thousand.

Han Xiufeng pretended to be unhappy and looked at the gang of officials who were blackmailing, and said coldly: "Alternate inspector Han Zhixing asks to see your master, please go and report it." ”

Chang Sui thought that it was an alternate officer, and couldn't help laughing: "Inspector Han, my master is writing official documents, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you." Tell me if you have anything, and I'll help you report it when you're done. ”

He said that, but there was a different meaning in his eyes.

Han Xiufeng has been idle in the yamen for so many years, how can he not know that he is asking for a door bag, thinking that this is the rule of the yamen, he simply took out a handful of copper coins: "Does your master have time to see me, only after the report, I will know, I am tired." ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll report first." Chang Sui grinned and took the money neatly.

"Wait," Seeing that he was about to turn around and get on the boat, Han Xiufeng hurriedly stopped: "This old brother, I forgot to ask your lord just now for his surname and what his position is." If you don't inquire clearly, I'll see that your master is not good for you later. ”

"My lord's surname is Zhou, and the main hall of Dingyuan County, Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan Province has a third-level record!"

"It turned out to be Master Zhou, disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Han Patrol, if there is nothing I will report?"

"Go ahead, thank you."

……

After waiting by the side of the ship for a while, the long attendant came out of the cabin of the official ship and stood at the bow of the ship and waved. Han Xiufeng hugged his fists and thanked him, and immediately climbed onto the cargo ship with the corner of his official uniform, and helped the cargo on the ship to walk onto the official ship.

"Han Patrol, please inside."

"Thank you," Han Xiufeng smiled and leaned into the cabin.

I saw a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old seven-grade civil official with a white face sitting in front of a small case and waving a pen, his expression was not only focused but also serious, Han Xiufeng didn't want to disturb, and stood quietly by the side of the case and waited.

Supervise the transportation of Yunnan Tongyun, Chuxiong Prefecture, Dingyuan County, Zhengtang Zhou, for the purpose of the ceremony.

The case of stealing the county was transported by the Yunnan Constitution Committee to transport Yunnan copper in the year of Xinhai, which was exchanged in Yongning on May 24 of this year, and then successively transferred to Lu, and then transferred by Lu to be heavy. I hereby select and hire clips, fifteen medium ships, one foreign boat, and practice boatmen and sailors. As usual, each containing 30,000 catties has been fully loaded, and the head gang is selected to be shipped on the 29th of this month.

In addition to reporting to the Dian Constitution, it will be transferred accordingly. For this reason, please move your county, please check and transfer the matter, and I hope to report it immediately. And pray for sticky printing, escort, transfer of the future, release as one, and make a friendship......

What the Yun official is writing is indeed an official document, and it is an official document that informs the locality, and Han Xiufeng has seen it more than once before. It can be seen from the handwriting that he must have been born in the imperial examination, and his handwriting in small block letters is neat and beautiful, with a bit of aura. And he is also an official who can be an official, because such a "prayer paste printing and sending the inventory to move" ordinary state and county officials really can't write, only experienced friends or scribes can.

Just as he was looking at it, the transport officer suddenly raised his head and asked, "Brother's surname?" ”

Han Xiufeng was stunned, and hurriedly arched his hand: "I am exempted from your surname Han, the word Zhixing, I took the liberty to board the ship and disturb Master Zhou." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, look, isn't this almost over." Zhou Zhixian pointed to the official document with a little pride, and asked with a smile: "Listening to the accent, the old brother looks like a local?" ”

"Master Zhou has good ears, he is from Ba County, although he donated a nine-product inspection, he has not bothered to go up to the ministry to confess."

Zhou Zhixian picked up the pen again and said with a smile: "The elder brother came just in time, and the foolish brother has something to ask." ”

Han Xiufeng knew what he wanted to ask as soon as he looked at the official document, and said without thinking: "Master Zhou wants to ask us about the main hall of Ba County, our main hall of Ba County is surnamed Wang, and the third-level record is recorded five times." ”

Zhou Zhixian thought that Han Xiufeng was just a little money in his family, so he donated a straw bag for the official show, but he never thought that Han Xiufeng not only knew what kind of official document he was writing, but also knew the format of this official document, his eyes were full of surprise, and then as if nothing had happened, he raised his pen and wrote nineteen words in the official document, "Move right to the main hall of Fuba County, Chongqing, Sichuan Province plus the third-level record five times".
