There are a total of 26 people on the roster, who are their surnames, where they live, and what bad things they have done, and they are clearly written.

Han Xiufeng spread out the map of Zhuang Town under the jurisdiction of the Hai'an Inspection Division submitted by Li Xiucai in the morning, picked up the roster and searched for the villages where these criminals were located one by one, and marked them on the map with a pen after finding them. Su Jueming thought that Han Xiufeng wanted to judge the folk customs of various villages and towns based on this, and couldn't help but say: "Master Han, they are either people from Hai'an, Hujiaji, Qutang and Baimi Town, or they live in those villages at the junction of Dongtai and Rugao. ”

"As long as it is a lively place, there will be no shortage of idle scoundrels. Poor and remote places, places that the yamen usually can't manage, there are many scoundrels and people. Yu Youfu put down the teacup and echoed.

"Well, it's the same everywhere." Han Xiufeng nodded slightly.

Su Jueming thought about it and said helplessly: "Master Han, time is too rushed, I only explored a few places, and there are still many places that I haven't had time to explore." Their evil deeds are not explored clearly enough, and there must be many things that have not been discovered, and the sufferer has not had time to find out. ”

"It's good to be able to find out so much in just four days."

"Master Han, if there is nothing wrong with the Yamen, I will continue to inquire tomorrow."

"No, there are enough of them." Han Xiufeng found the village where the last gangster on the roster was located, marked it and put down his pen, looked up at them with a smile and said, "Changsheng went to the street to buy wood, and after buying it, seal the windows of the six houses in front of him." Uncle Yu, you are an expert, I will help you later to see if the walls of those two houses are solid, if not, let the archers strengthen them quickly. ”

"What about after it's reinforced?"

"Take people!"

Yu Youfu was about to speak, and Su Jueming couldn't help but remind: "Master Han, you have to take dirty to catch thieves, and you have to have credentials to take people." Besides, the New Year will be celebrated right now, and the yamen will be sealed in a few days, and even if you bring people, you can't deal with them. ”

"There will be credentials for the traitor department, so let's get the person back first." Han Xiufeng took a sip of tea from the cup, and said with a smile: "As for the seal in a few days, it's not a bad thing. How good the seal is, the seal doesn't need to rush to send them to the state office, first close the yamen of our inspection department for a month, and nothing can be done in a month. ”

The big head didn't want to do laundry and cook all the time, and when he mentioned that he wanted to take people, he grinned and said: "Take people well, take these turtle sons on the roster back and put them in the class room, don't give money and don't let them go home for the New Year!" ”

Su Jueming reacted, and couldn't help laughing: "If the seal doesn't have to handle official business, if you don't handle official business, you don't need to rush to send them to the state office, hey, why didn't I think of this stubble." ”

"Where do you want to go?" Han Xiufeng pointed at Su Jueming, then raised his head and scolded with a smile: "Big head, why did you learn badly by yourself as an honest person, who did you learn from, and you don't give money to let people go home for the New Year." ”

"Young master, isn't the yamen all so profitable, when I was locked up in the class room in my hometown, didn't those errand boys just don't give money and don't let me come out."

"Ignore you, are you the same as those errand boys, am I the same as those corrupt officials?"

"It's different."

"That's it." Han Xiufeng glared at him, then turned around and said, "Jueming, when the class room is repaired, we will only take people and not money." On the way here, you also said that they are all hob meat, even if they squeeze it, they can't squeeze any oil and water, so it's better not to squeeze it at all. ”

"Why don't you want money to get them back?" Su Jueming asked puzzled.

"If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. If we take them all back and put them in the class room, the world will be peaceful, and the people under the jurisdiction of our Haian Inspection Division will be able to have a good year. ”

"Master Han, I know that you are an honest official, but what is that little silver and honest silver enough for, you can't do it in vain!"

"Don't worry, my official won't do it in vain, and your family won't be in vain." Han Xiufeng smiled, and then changed his words: "I forgot to tell you something, I just hired Li Xiucai as a Xixi, gave him fifty taels of silver a year, and asked him to study at Priest Heng." Jueming, from today onwards, you will take over the correspondence and the inventory of armor, if there is anything you don't understand, go to the inner house to ask Li Xiucai. ”

"Thank you, old man!"

"Don't thank you, just get the errand done." Han Xiufeng motioned for him to sit down, held the teacup and muttered: "I, Han Xiufeng, as a maritime security inspector, not only arrest thieves, interrogate thieves, clear armor, and inspect the night, but also shoulder the responsibility of investigating smugglers. Even if the merchants have salt introductions, they can't buy salt in the salt field during the New Year, because the Yamen of the Salt Division will also seal it. ”

Yu Youfu blurted out: "Private lords don't use salt, and they won't go to the public wall of the salt field to buy salt, they will definitely take advantage of the Chinese New Year to seal the big hawkers!" ”

"Jueming, aren't you worried that you won't be able to make money, this is an opportunity to make money, if you can give the smugglers a personal stolen goods and check it for hundreds of thousands of catties of illegal salt, do you think we will still be short of silver?"

"But the private lord is not so easy to deal with," the more Su Jueming thought about it, the more frightened he became, and said with a bitter face: "Master Han, those two soap subordinates and those ten archers in the yamen are really unreliable, and they don't dare to deal with the private lord if they have a few guts!" ”

"They don't dare to deal with the smugglers, so I will go to the people who dare to deal with the smugglers. In short, you don't have to worry about how to catch the smuggler, the top priority is how to find out the whereabouts of the smuggler. ”

"Master Han, are you planning to move troops from Taizhou?"

"Leave that alone."

Yu Youfu knew Han Xiufeng's plan, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, the top priority is how to find out the whereabouts of the private lord." ”

Su Jueming didn't dare to ask again, but muttered: "Hai'an said that it is not big, it is not small, and there are so many rivers, it is definitely not good to guard a few rivers and wait for rabbits, not to mention that they may not be able to guard them, even if they wait for the scouts to run back to the yamen to report, and when Master Han gathers the soldiers and horses to rush over, they will run away without a trace." ”

"So we have to start with the salt works."

"Staring at the stove?"

Han Xiufeng stared at him and said with a smile: "Jueming, doesn't your father have a student in Fu'anchang, can you ask him to help, find a few people in the local area to help us keep an eye on those stoves with the most fried salt, as long as you find someone to buy salt from them, you will quietly follow, and when you find out which waterway they take, you will come back quickly to report, and I can gather soldiers and horses to ambush in advance." ”

"Master Han, if you do something else, even if my father's student doesn't give me face, he can't help but give my father face. But this is not a trivial matter, and the private lords are all ruthless outlaws......"

"This favor will not let him help in vain, if he can really find hundreds of thousands of catties of illegal salt, it will naturally be indispensable to his benefits. Besides, his family is also a salt merchant, although he is just a merchant, but I don't believe that he only sells salt in the public wall of the salt factory. ”

Han Xiufeng's implication couldn't be clearer, as long as that person is willing to help, not only will he be able to share the benefits, but if he does illegal salt trading in the future, the ship transporting salt will not have to worry about being investigated when it passes by Hai'an.

Su Jueming realized this condition, and his father's student was probably tempted, and then thought that if he could find dozens or even millions of catties of illicit salt, he would be called a fool, and agreed: "Okay, I'll go to Fu'an tomorrow!" ”
