Chapter Ninety-Six
Han Xiufeng had expected that the prince of Fengjie County and the prefect of Kuizhou would definitely turn big things into small things and small things, but he never expected that they would "change" so quickly, and he didn't even send him, a bitter master who was almost framed, to go to the court for questioning, and only interrogated a Yunnan official and went home.
But this is not a bad thing, after all, it can be troublesome to get involved in a big case.
Therefore, in the face of the clerk of the Fengjie County Punishment Room who came in a hurry, Han Xiufeng had nothing to say, and he did not have even a word of complaint after the direct confession was recorded and signed.
Wang Qianzong was on fire, and he didn't care whether Xing Zhixian was happy or not, and quietly asked Li to call all the women and children in the camp to cry and mourn, and made Xing Zhixian and a group of officials of the county government anxious, and then used this excuse to let a group of Qiu Ba search the bodies of Tuesday and others.
Xing Zhixian didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned a blind eye to this, and let them loot the money and property of Tuesday and others, and the women and children in Zuoying stopped making trouble, so he took the just-recorded confession and asked a group of officials to escort Tuesday and others away.
"These civil officials, speaking of it, are all full of sage books, saying that they want to help the country through the world, but one is more afraid than the other!" Seeing Xing Zhixian and the others gone, Wang Qian couldn't help but scold.
Han Xiufeng smiled and persuaded: "Uncle Wang, it's not a bad thing when you think about it. Think about it, if Futai is really official and alarms the emperor, then this is the Qin case. Wait for the minister to rush to Fengjie from the capital, and then play the petition after the trial, and wait for the holy decree to arrive It is estimated that it will take a year and a half. If Lord Chincha is going to stay in Fengjie for so long, your life will not be easy. ”
"That's right, not to mention Lord Qincha, it's a triennial parade, in order to deal with the system, we all have to be scared, for fear of even the slightest mistake." Wang Qian sighed lightly, and then changed his words: "Zhixing, three children, I didn't expect that the turtle son was still a fat sheep on Tuesday, and he carried four hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets and more than a dozen taels of broken silver. Those officials and young men in Dingyuan County are all masters who can make money, one is counted as one, and the body is less than three or five taels, and more than a dozen taels, you tell me, how many immoral things they have done along the way. ”
"So much!" Du San couldn't help laughing.
"Your sixth uncle just clicked, counted all those copper coins, and converted them into silver, and estimated that there were six hundred taels, and he finally didn't work in vain."
"Actually, this is normal," Han Xiufeng said with a smile: "They have been out for several months, and they have not been idle in the past few months, they really go all the way, and where can they put the money they have come from." ”
"It turned out to be all cheap, hahaha."
"Uncle Wang, there is a sentence that the little nephew doesn't know whether to say it or not."
Mr. Wang Qian walked into the lobby, bypassed the official case and sat down on the Taishi chair, and said with a smile: "They are all their own people, and they have something to say." ”
Han Xiufeng looked back at Mr. Li and the others, who were overjoyed, and said, "Uncle Wang, if it weren't for Liu Xietai, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get these six hundred taels." According to the little nephew's opinion, there are benefits that cannot be forgotten Liu Xietai. ”
"Three babies, do you hear it, Zhixing will do more things. You really have to learn a little, no matter what benefits you get in the future, you can't eat alone, otherwise if something happens, don't expect Shangguan to help you get ahead. ”
"Uncle, I know."
"It's good to know." Mr. Wang Qian nodded, and said helplessly: "Three babies, Uncle originally wanted to slaughter a fat sheep to help you make up some entanglements, but it turned out that he was busy all afternoon. Before he left, he said that when the Copper King arrived, he would naturally help us manage the Copper King's explanation, and made it clear that we would not be mixed again. The big money was not fished, but only a small amount of money, and half of the score was given to Xietai. ”
Although Du San was very short of silver, he still pretended to smile lightly: "Uncle, I'm fine." ”
"If you don't have money, you can't go to the capital, even if you don't have money in the capital, you can't make up for the shortage." Mr. Wang Qian touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "I can't give you all the remaining three hundred taels, otherwise the brothers will really work in vain, give you one hundred and fifty taels, and it is better to have this one hundred and fifty taels than nothing." ”
One hundred and fifty taels was really not a small amount of money for Du San, and he hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Seeing that these uncles of his were so good to him, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but think of Liu Zhutou, Yang Bantou, Wang Shucheng and other uncles in Ba County, and was full of emotion, Wang Qian suddenly said: "Zhixing, you and Sanwazi are going to the capital to fill the vacancy, and if you don't go to the capital for a day, you won't be steady, and it's better to leave early than late." Rest in the camp today, and leave early tomorrow morning, lest the King of Bronze come and cause trouble. ”
"Uncle Xie Wang, in fact, my little nephew thinks so too."
"Okay, you go back to the barracks to rest, I'll send the silver ticket to Xietai first, and I'll send you to the dock early tomorrow morning."
……
The magistrate of Zhouzhi County hurried with Liu San and finally arrived at Fengjie.
Seeing that the boat of Zhou Ye and the others was full of joy, he rushed to the bow of the boat with a lantern and looked at it, but his heart was half cold, and there were two officials sitting on the bow of the boat who had never seen before, and they were talking about what happened in the afternoon.
Just as he was frightened, a tax collector with two tax collectors chased after him and grabbed him by the arm: "What about you, you will run away as soon as you get off the boat, and you can't stop shouting, do you know where this is, this is Kuiguan!" ”
"Yes, I know."
"Do you know why you are running away, do you not want to pay taxes?"
Liu San relieved himself and said with a bitter face: "Poor master, I am a family member of the main hall of Dingyuan County, Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan, and my lord was ordered to transport Yunnan copper, and I am helping my lord to explore the way." ”
The tax collector was happy, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "You are also from Yunnan?" ”
"Yes, I came from Yunnan with my lord."
"So you're with the people on these two boats?"
"Yes," Seeing the two officials on the bow of the ship get up, Liu San realized that there was a big trouble, and hurriedly explained: "A few poor masters, it must be a misunderstanding, my second master and Ding Bantou were ordered by my master to hunt down the thieves who stole official copper, and they have the official document of sea fishing issued by my lord in their hands. ”
The two officials on the boat were happy, jumped off the boat and grabbed him: "It turned out to be a group, it was just right to come, and you are waiting for you!" ”
"Poor master, you must be mistaken, you must be misunderstood."
"No mistake, no misunderstanding." While searching his body, the two officials asked sharply: "Where is your ship, who else but you?" ”
"My ship is over there, I'm the only one, and there's no one else but the boatman, what are you doing here?"
"What to do, you'll know later." The tall official searched out the money bag, opened the bag and took out a handful of copper plates and handed it to the tax collector: "Zhang Shucheng, let's escort this turtle son back to the yamen first, and you will be bothered to help us keep an eye on the dock." ”
Some of the bamboo bars in Yunnan are knocked, and the real big fat sheep is still behind.
The tax collector put away the copper plate and grinned, "Go ahead, I have it on the dock." ”
