What is the origin of the new inspection of the Hai'an Inspection Division, the second son of the Zhang family has already inquired clearly, and he has been worried for the past few days, for fear that Han Xiufeng will sue the feudal department when he sees that his father is not only old but also ill like this, and if the lord of the feudal family knows that his father can't take care of things at all, he will definitely report to the Taiwan.

Zhang Guangcheng never expected Han Xiufeng to be so reasonable, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and let his family send his father into the inner house, and then said with an embarrassed face: "Master Han, please use tea." ”

"Your own people, no need to be polite." Han Xiufeng beckoned him to sit and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, the junior brother has just arrived, please take care of him in the future." ”

"What is Master Han talking about?" Zhang Guangcheng bowed back, and then asked with a smile: "Master Han, my father received an official letter that you were coming to Taizhou to take up his post a few days ago, but you didn't arrive until today, was it delayed on the road?" ”

"It's not a secret, when Xiufeng was in the capital, he was taken care of by Lord Wu Wenxi of the Sichuan Salt Tea Ceremony, and now he is just elected to inspect the Hai'an Inspection Department under the rule of Lord Lingzun, and he is about to come to Taizhou to take office, so he naturally wants to go to Yizhen Wu's house to meet the two old ladies."

"Sichuan Salt Tea Ceremony Wu Daotai, but the younger brother of Wu Wenrong, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wu Zhongtang?"

"Exactly," Han Xiufeng smiled, and added, "But Wu Zhongtang is no longer the governor of Yungui now, but the governor of Huguang. ”

"Guangcheng's news is blocked, if it weren't for Master Han to say it, I really wouldn't know."

Han Xiufeng saw that the big and small things in Taizhou were the ones in front of him, and he didn't want to go around in circles with him anymore, so he said bluntly: "Brother Zhang, although the junior brother is a newcomer, he still knows some of the rules of the yamen. Please rest assured, Brother Zhang, after the arrival of the younger brother, he will never cause trouble to Ling Zun. ”

Zhang Guangcheng is a smart person, how could he not hear the meaning of Han Xiufeng's words, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Master Han is serious, I don't know if Master Han plans to go to Hai'an today or tomorrow to take office?" ”

"As the saying goes, for the benefit of one party for the official, the younger brother is an inspector, and he must ensure the safety of one party, and he just sent his family to the blacksmith shop to build fifty pairs of handcuffs and shackles before coming to the state to meet Lord Lingzun, when will the blacksmith build those handcuffs and shackles, and when will the younger brother go to Hai'an to take office."

Build fifty pairs of handcuffs and shackles!

I want to bring fifty pairs of handcuffs and shackles to Hai'an to take office!

Zhang Guangcheng was taken aback, stared at Han Xiufeng and asked: "Master Han, what are you doing with so many handcuffs and shackles, and if you really need to use handcuffs and shackles, you can send someone to the state to get them." ”

"Is there fifty pairs of state officials?"

"I don't really know, but it doesn't seem like much."

"That's it, there are not so many state ya, and the handcuffs and shackles of the state government are useful for the state ya, Hai'an is not close to the state city, it is better to build more to take Hai'an to go, and the province's poor people run back and forth, and delay the business."

"But are there so many traitors in Hai'an?"

"The younger brother just arrived in Taizhou, how do you know if there are so many, even if there are none, it's nothing, it's just to build fifty pairs of handcuffs and shackles, and it doesn't cost a few dollars."

Zhang Guangcheng thought that this must be young and vigorous in front of him, and planned to come to a new official to take office three fires, and then thought that no matter how much he tossed, he could only be in Hai'an's one-third of an acre, and muttered: "Since Master Han has already sent someone to find a blacksmith to build, let the blacksmith build it, be prepared." ”

"The younger brother thinks so too." Han Xiufeng smiled and nodded.

"Master Han, now the father who is acting for the inspection of Hai'an has sent someone to inform you, and he will hand you over as soon as you arrive in Hai'an. Do you have any other needs? ”

"Since Brother Zhang asked, the younger brother will not be polite to Brother Zhang, the younger brother wants to borrow a set of state chronicles, and I don't know if the state government has it."

"Yes, and it was cultivated by Daoguang in the seventh year, unlike the Fang Zhi of other states and counties, I will ask my family to get it for you later."

"Thank you." Han Xiufeng saw that the second son of the Zhang family wanted him to go to Hai'an as soon as possible, and thought that he was an eyesore to stay in the state city, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Brother Zhang, although the younger brother has never been to Hai'an, on the way to Taizhou, he also heard that Hai'an is one hundred and twenty miles away from the state city. If something really happens, come to the state government to report to Ling Zun, and it will take a day to leave, but the junior brother can't afford to wait for this errand, I don't know if Brother Zhang can give the younger brother a few blank summonses, so that the 100,000 can be filled in urgently. ”

Zhang Guangcheng didn't dare to give the summons, and pretended to be puzzled and said: "Master Han, you are the Haian Patrol, if there are really thieves in the towns and villages under your jurisdiction, you can directly take the soap Li archers to lock and get them, and then send them to the state government after they are arrested, and there is no need for a summons." ”

"What if the bandits go to the salt fields such as Fu'an, Anfeng, and Jiaoxi? What if the thieves run away from Rugao and Dongtai? Brother Zhang, although the younger brother is a civilian official, the errand of the inspection is actually similar to that of a military attaché, and the emphasis is on the speed of the soldiers. It takes a day to send someone to the state government to report, and another day to get the summons issued by Lord Lingzun, and the thieves have been running away without a trace for two days. And Hai'an is under the rule of Taizhou after all, Hai'an is really a thief but can't catch a criminal, the younger brother can't escape the blame, so that Lord Zun can't pass the level of Futai Daotai or even Fantai Zhentai! ”

It sounds reasonable, but Zhang Guangcheng didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Han Xiufeng took a sip of tea, looked at him with a smile and said, "Just these two things, no, that's all left for this one." Brother Zhang, when will the younger brother get the summons and when will he go to Hai'an to take office. ”

Zhang Guangcheng received news in the morning that Du Sen of Yizhenzhi County had been reckless in his opium smoking and had requisitioned grain and increased consumption during his tenure in Liuhe and Yizhen, and he did not know who had told him to go to the Huaiyang Dao Yamen in Qingjiangpu, and he was dismissed from his post yesterday morning to be retained. And although his father did not smoke opium, he did not do much to collect grain and increase consumption, not to mention that he was too sick to be a director, and if he was really accused of going to the Yamen of Huaiyang Province or even the Yamen of Jiangning, he would also be dismissed from his post and be retained.

Thinking of the big man in front of him, who could really talk to the domain, he could only ask stubbornly: "Master Han, is five blanks enough?" ”

"It's not enough, it's ten."

"Okay, ten is ten, and please use it with caution."

"It's nature."

Zhang Guangcheng was worried that the night was long and dreamy, and he really didn't want Han Xiufeng to stay in Taizhou City for a long time, so he thought about it and said: "Master Han, which blacksmith shop did you send your family to, or I will send someone to help you urge and let the blacksmith hurry up." If you can't build a blacksmith shop, you can find a few more blacksmiths. Your new official has taken office, and time is precious. ”

"I asked my family to look for it, but I don't know which blacksmith shop it was."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, the state city is so big, Guangcheng asks people to ask." Zhang Guangcheng stood up and smiled, then turned around and said, "Master Han, after the business is over, please be sure to appreciate the light, Rong Guangcheng will take you to the wind and wash the dust on behalf of your father." ”
