There is also a courtyard street between South Gate Street and North Gate Street, which is named because it is named after the Salt Inspection Yard, and its east and west are connected with Fudong Street and Fuxi Street.

The Salt Inspection Institute is located at the intersection of Yuan Street and Fuxi Street, but it sits in the north and faces south, and the door is Fuxi Street. There are Yangzhou Mansion and Jiangdu County Mansion on Fuxi Street, which is the administrative street of Yangzhou City.

It is worth mentioning that Fuxi Street is separated by the New City River (Xiaoqinhuai River) and connected by Tongsi Bridge. The Salt Inspection Institute is at the east end of Tongsi Bridge, and the Yangzhou Mansion Yamen and Jiangdu County Yamen are at the west end.

The yacha and the soldiers opened the road in front, the honor guard was beating gongs and drums, and the group swaggered through the city, and the road was crowded with people and scholars, making this old city of Yangzhou seem very lively.

Even the woman who was playing and singing on the Xiaoqinhuai River painting boat felt the movement of Nanmen Street, but she looked at the movement on this side through the gap in the laneway.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a bullfighting suit, sat quietly in the sedan chair with his eyes closed, although he did not open the sedan curtain to look, he also felt the excitement outside, while Lin Fu and Tie Zhu were guarding on both sides of the sedan chair.

This visit to Yangzhou City made him feel like he was the prefect of Leizhou.

Everything is still very foreign, and although it has great power, it still lacks a local foundation. I want to do something practical for Daming, but I still lack an opportunity.

He did not have the absolute trust of the emperor, although he had the support of his father-in-law behind him, but now the first assistant Xu Jie has a close relationship with the two Huai salt merchant groups, and this potential resistance is not small.

However, his situation at this time is very similar to that of returning to Leizhou to preside over the opening of the sea. Failure will make the career bleak; If he succeeds, he will return to Beijing to serve as the squire of the six departments.

However, he is more confident than Dang, in the past he was just a newcomer to officialdom, but now after years of experience in officialdom, he has more means and resources to open up the situation.

"Let's hope everything goes well!"

Lin Haoran said secretly in his heart, and at the same time opened his eyes.

At this moment, a scholar suddenly rushed into the road from the crowd, knelt down to Lin Haoran's bridge and said, "Lord Qincha, the students are wronged, please make decisions for the students!" ”

"Daring fanatic, get out of here!"

Seeing that someone stopped the sedan chair to complain, the two yacha were like a great enemy, and they immediately stepped forward and recklessly dragged the person away.

According to the different understandings of many people, the sedan chair lawsuit is actually an obstruction of officials' travel, so it is an illegal act. According to the practice of officialdom, if the sedan chair is stopped and the complaint is overstepped, most of them will ignore it.

Now this scholar suddenly rushed out of the middle of the road to stop the sedan chair of Lord Qincha to complain, but it was an unpleasant act.

If the case does not go through the government, it is naturally illegal; If you still report after the government office, it will be uncomfortable for the prefect, so the two wolf-like officials want to drag people away as soon as possible.

"Wait!"

Just as the two yamen were about to drag the person away, Lin Fu stopped him and reported the situation softly to Lin Haoran in the sedan chair.

When the two yacha heard this, they hesitated, and their eyes fell on He Dongxu, the prefect of Yangzhou, who had caught up. After He Dongxu saw the scholar, his whole face immediately darkened.

"Stop the car!" Lin Haoran said lightly.

The eight sedan chair bearers put down the sedan chair steadily, and also took advantage of this to exhale a light breath of turbidity.

He Dongxu was very unhappy in his heart, but he stepped forward and said: "Lord Qincha, this is a Diao people, please hand it over to the lower officials!" ”

"What kind of people are Zhang Caizi, it is obvious that you are unfair in judging the case, so you forced people to block the bridge and file a complaint!" Some of the onlookers shouted accusations.

He Dongxu's face suddenly turned cold, and he was looking for prestige, wanting to find out the bold Diao Min. It's just that under the eyes, there are all disdainful faces, and I can't tell who made the sound at all.

[Doudou] "Present the paper!" ”

Lin Haoran didn't pay attention to He Dongxu's request, but said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, He Dongxu's face was very ugly.

Lin Fu stepped forward, took the piece of paper held up high from the scholar's hand, and then respectfully gave it to Lin Haoran in the sedan chair.

"Lin Qingtian's name is well deserved!"

"It's hard to say now, who knows if it's going to be a show!"

"Why don't we make a bet, I bet that Lin Qingtian will administer justice for Zhang Caizi!"

……

The surrounding people saw Lin Haoran's actions in their eyes, but they talked about it, and some even made bets.

It's just that these words fell into He Dongxu's ears, and his face became more and more gloomy, and he hated these people in his heart, but also hated the new Qincha who stretched his hand too long, so that this case that was closed to the coffin was turned over again.

After Lin Haoran looked at the paper, he asked lightly: "Are you the bitter spring?" ”

Zhang Quan's whole person looked a little embarrassed, and at this time, as if he had grasped the last straw, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "It's the student!" ”

"It's unseemly to block the bridge today! This official reads that you are sincere in redress and will not be pursued, but what you said needs to be verified, so go to the Salt Inspection Institute with this official first! Lin Haoran said lightly.

"My lord, no, this case has been decided!" He Dongxu immediately stood up and stopped.

"Go back and send the case file too!" Lin Haoran's face was slightly gloomy, and he commanded lightly.

He Dongxu looked at Lin Haoran so unreasonable, and his forehead was also bruised, so he refused to say: "It is difficult for the official to obey his fate!" ”

This......

Nanjing household member Li Yu and other officials followed behind, and at this time they also surrounded him, and when they heard He Dongxu like this, they looked at Lin Haoran with some schadenfreude.

Officialdom has never had an absolute subordination relationship, He Dongxu is Xu Jie's protégé, once his position is stable, he doesn't need to pay attention to this new Qincha at all.

"Benchin is not consulting with you! If you don't obey the order, then don't blame Ben Qincha for referring to you to the emperor today, as the governor of Yangzhou, he despises Qincha! Lin Haoran did not back down, but said solemnly.

You......

He Dongxu didn't expect Lin Haoran to be so direct, and he didn't take his identity as the first assistant protégé in his eyes at all, and even said in front of the public that he would be impeached by Shangshu.

"He Zhifu, since Lord Qincha wants to meddle in this case, he must have seen what flaws there are in it, and we also happen to see the name of Qincha's divine judgment!" Li Yu stepped forward and pulled He Dongxu, which was to make a look of authenticity.

These words are undoubtedly killing people, so that when the case cannot be overturned, they want Lin Haoran to slap himself.

Although He Dongxu was very unhappy in his heart, he also got off the donkey and said: "If this is the case, then the lower official will open his eyes and take a good look at how Lord Qincha overturns this iron case!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, but left directly.

"Get up!"

Lin Fu watched the other party back down, and said loudly.

But I don't know if no one dared to stop the sedan chair in front of me to complain, or the officials and soldiers of the Yangzhou Mansion strengthened their vigilance, and turned all the way smoothly from the courtyard street into Fuxi Street, and came to the salt inspection institute very close to the Tongsi Bridge.

Hua Yingrong's sedan chair actually followed behind Lin Haoran's honor guard, but after arriving at the Salt Inspection Courtyard, he did not follow him to enter from the main entrance, but from the back door to the back house.
