Wu Kuixiang and Pan Er led the civil and military supervisors of each regiment to the camp in the afternoon, and saw that there were many officials in the camp, and they were asking what was going on, so Wu Junxiang greeted him and said: "The water has been boiled for you, hurry up and go to the bath and change your clothes." ”

"Big brother, what are you doing when you change your clothes?" Wu Kuixiang asked puzzled.

"There are good things!" Wu Kuixiang took them to the barracks and said with a smile: "The new Futai and Qijiang Zhengtang are also here, you have to hurry up and take a bath and change clothes, and when everything is packed up, go to the small school field to line up." ”

"The new Futai is here, what about Du Futai?"

"The dismissal is pending, and it is said that it has been handed over to the ministry for handling, because of the incident in Hezhou where the father and son were killed at home." Wu Junxiang thought about it and sighed: "The Mr. Li who went to Songkan last time to inspect the blockade was ordered by the control station to pay a private visit. After leaving from you, I didn't go back to Chengdu, but went straight to Hezhou, I didn't expect that Mr. Li really had some ability, and he actually captured the real murderer within a month, and Xiang was really wronged. ”

The murder case of Qijian Bridge in the east of Hezhou City is too famous, and Xiang Chrysanthemum, the niece of Xiang's maiden family, not only went to the prefect's yamen and the Daotai yamen to beat drums and voice grievances, but it is also said that she also went to Chengdu's Zhentai Yamen and the Zhitai Yamen to hand over the paper.

A civil supervisor couldn't help but ask: "Master Wu, who is the real murderer?" ”

"The real culprit is a native of Shaanxi, named Hu Sifa, who did a small business in Hezhou, and after discounting the capital, he gambled all his family assets, so he got into the Ju family to steal, and was found by the Ju family and his son, and killed the lives of the Ju family and the father and son. It is said that after he got drunk in the tavern, he boasted to others about killing the father and son of the Ju family, and happened to be heard by Mr. Li, who was interviewed privately by Weifu, and immediately asked his relatives to take him down, so he returned Xiang's innocence. ”

"But I heard that an adulterer named Jin Liu has confessed!"

"Fei Futai just told Master Han about this case, that Jin Liu is not the real murderer, but the official Chen Laolun of Hezhou County. He had committed other things before, and Chen Laolun went to the county jail to tell him that as long as he confessed to his guilt, as long as he confessed to adultery with the Xiang family, he would not die. ”

Pan Er had also heard about this case, and asked puzzledly: "Why did that Chen Laolun frame the Xiang family for adultery, and why did he frame the Xiang family and Jin ** for plotting to kill the father and son of the Ju family?" ”

"Xiang's is old, Xiang's daughter-in-law Zhou is young and beautiful, Chen Laolun covets Zhou's appearance, and actually frames Xiang's with malicious intentions. Thinking that he could not only help Rong Yutian, the main hall of Hezhou, quickly close the murder case, but also let the Zhou family remarry him, but the sky net was restored and not leaked, and after all, it was the East Window incident. ”

An inmate asked curiously, "Did the one surnamed Chen marry Zhou?" ”

"Marryed, not only married Zhou, but also let Zhou and Jin Liu frame Xiang, as soon as Mr. Li found out the ins and outs, as soon as he acted as the governor of Shanghe Prefecture, Qian Houde, imprisoned all the cadres." Wu Junxiang paused, and sighed again: "After hearing that Fei Futai said that the master of Taiwan knew about it, he was furious, saying that Sichuan, the state, the government, the province, and the Zhen, couldn't even tell a confused case!" ”

"So Lord Cao was also implicated?"

"Lord Cao shouldn't be a big deal, after all, the lawsuit is not in his hands, Lu Daoen, who is the inspector, can't do it, and Du Xingyuan is not very easy to pass. As for Rong Yutian...... I guess even if I don't die, I'll have to shed a layer of skin! ”

Just when everyone lamented that the new system was really different from the previous ones, the gentry of Anwen Town and the merchants of the eight provinces walked into the camp, and Jiang Zonghai and Guan Yun, who helped the grain station, trotted over to greet them.

Pan Er secretly thought that in addition to welcoming the new Futai, it would be difficult to have other happy events today, so it can be seen that the brave men in the camp really helped boil the water and were beckoning them to go to the barracks to take a bath, so they simply didn't want to.

At the same time, Chen Hu, Ge Erxiao, Chen Bupanic and other military attachés changed into official uniforms and stood majestically on both sides of the school grounds.

The gentry and merchants of Anwen Town approached and were surprised that Master Han, who had never worn an official uniform because of his filial piety, also changed into an official uniform, and was sitting in the center of the lobby chatting and laughing with the new Futai and the county lord.

"The late-born Yang Guangqing meets Master Han and Fei Futai!"

"Little Chen Fugui visits Master Han and visits the prefect!"

……

"Excuse me, please go to the school and sit down for a while." Han Xiufeng got up and arched his hand, then turned around and smiled: "Brother Jian'an, it is said that it is better to come early than to come by chance, or when Xiufeng passes on the decree, you will help reward it to show solemnity." ”

How could Fei Jiashu not know that this was Han Xiufeng's "dismounting" for him, after all, not everyone can reach the heavens, let alone be qualified to send a decree on behalf of the emperor. can think that the registered prefect in front of him who donated his background is not only the Segu Batulu given by the emperor, but also said that he is really a "protégé of the Son of Heaven", so he can only arch his hand and say: "Being able to reward the emperor on behalf of the emperor is a blessing that Jiashu has cultivated for eight lifetimes." ”

"Okay, then decide."

The two looked at the rewards in the tray and chatted for a while, Chen Hu walked in and bowed down and said, "Master Han, Master Wu Kuixiang, Master Pan Changsheng Pan and the heads of each regiment are on standby in the school field!" ”

"First ask Master Wu Junxiang Wu to teach etiquette, and after the teaching, the official and Fei Futai will go to announce the decree."

"Yes!"

The civil and military supervisors who had just lined up on the school field heard that Master Han was going to announce the decree, and they all thought of the rumor they heard a few days ago, saying that Master Han not only changed from an assistant to a group drill in Chongqing Mansion to an assistant in eastern Sichuan, but also could pass on the decree and reward on behalf of the emperor, and even the head of the regiment who could play the anti-blocking force, and they were suddenly ecstatic.

Wu Junxiang didn't care about selling the guanzi anymore, and walked through the queue to teach the etiquette of borrowing the will.

Jiang Zonghai and Guan Yunzhong were also excited, because they also had their share, and they also reminded a group of gentry and businessmen what they should pay attention to later.

Everything was ready, Han Xiufeng and the new Chongqing prefect Fei Jiashu walked in front of everyone, Wu Kuixiang and Jiang Zonghai hurriedly led the civil and military supervisors and gentry and businessmen to visit.

"Excuse me, please get up." Han Xiufeng smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Today is really a good day, not only did the government come to visit you in person, but even the emperor ordered his official to send an edict to reward the gentry and regimental courage who contributed to the blockade. Do not be discouraged if you are given what you will be given later, and do not be discouraged if you do not receive a reward this time. As long as you take care to prevent blockage, whether it is the official or the government, even the emperor will not hesitate to reward him. ”

"Master Xie Han is carrying!"

"Xie Futai carry!"

……

"Okay, let's get down to business, the emperor has a will."

"Chen Wu Kuixiang (Pan Changsheng) respectfully invites Saint Ann!"

"St. Ann!" Waiting for everyone to kneel down in unison, Han Xiufeng cleared his throat and said: "The emperor has a decree to use Wu Kuixiang in Ding Weizhi County to prevent blockage, reward from the top of the five grades, and add the rank of governor!" ”

Wu Kuixiang suddenly realized that this was not just a reward for the emperor's decree, but had already been folded and approved by the emperor, and hurriedly said: "Minister Wu Kuixiang received the decree, and Minister Wu Kuixiang thanked the emperor for his grace!" ”

"With the help of Pan Changsheng, the ambassador of the Ding Worry Salt Division, to prevent blockage, reward the top of the seven products, and add the rank of county!"

"Minister Pan Changsheng received the decree, and the minister thanked the emperor for his grace!"

After Pan Er's bow, Han Xiufeng glanced at the roster, and then said: "Chen Zhankui, the supervisor of Yiba County, will be rewarded for his efforts to prevent blockage, and he will be rewarded with the top of the eight grades, and the county title will be added!" ”

Chen Zhankui never thought that he could be a Shangguan, and he was immediately ecstatic, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Master Han for helping!" ”

"Chen Zhankui, what are you talking about?"

"I deserve to die for my crimes, I said it wrong, Chen Zhankui is the minister, and the emperor is thanked!"

Han Xiufeng glared at him with hatred, and then said: "With the name of Chen Hufang, a golden sheath tooth handle knife; With the name of the thousand total Ge two small anti-blocking force, reward the sheath tooth handle knife; In the name of the general Chen do not panic to prevent blocking and force, reward a silver sheath jade handle knife! ”

Chen Hu and the three of them hurriedly received the order to thank him, and then stepped forward to take over the smart knife from the new prefect under the signal of Second Master Fei.

Next are Chen Tianru, Zhang Biao and other civil and military supervisors.

Some were given knives, some were given large and small purses, and some were given fire sickles.

Although these things are not very valuable, and they are not as honorable as the promotion, these things are rewarded by the emperor, and they are elated except for Chen Tianru. Finally, there are the gentry and merchants from the eight provinces, as long as they come, they will all be rewarded!

Fei Jiashu, the new prefect of Chongqing, helped hand over the rewards to everyone one by one, and led everyone to look in the direction of the capital with Han Xiufeng. But my heart is a little sour, after all, I can send a decree and reward on behalf of the emperor, and even be able to fold the guarantee, which is the glory of the ministers and governors.

The feast is over!

The more than a dozen tables of banquets placed in the center of the university were paid by the local gentry and businessmen from the eight provinces, Han Xiufeng led everyone to toast Fei Jiashu, and Fei Jiashu borrowed flowers to offer Buddha in return. Then the county magistrate toasted Han Xiufeng, and then toasted Futai......

People are in good spirits when they are happy, but the wine is not prepared much under the instruction of Han Xiufeng, just a bowl for one person, and he will talk about business after a simple meaning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, judging from this month's report, there will be chaos in Qianbei in the next two or three months!" Han Xiufeng stood up and looked around at everyone, and said very seriously: "In order to prevent the Guizhou bandits from entering my eastern Sichuan, I can't wait without preparation." The camp office has discussed a strategy these days, and the officer also discussed it with Fei Futai in the afternoon, and decided that from today onwards, each regiment will not change its guard, and you must strengthen your precautions after you go back early in the morning, and you must give the officer a good look at your own people and guard your own door! ”

"Obedience!"

"Little obedience!"

"Listen to what the official has to say." Han Xiufeng paused, and then said: "The general strategy is to respond to all changes with the same, as long as the bandits don't provoke us, we will not move." But once the chaos breaks out, the people of northern Qianbei will surely pour into Songkan and even our eastern Sichuan to escape the war, and no one knows whether there are any spies among them who have mixed with bandits, and even if there are no spies, those displaced people who have neither money nor relatives and friends to turn to are likely to commit rebellion.

Therefore, the official agreed with the government that if the displaced people poured in, they would be relieved of their work and summoned them to dredge the Songkan River and even the Xiangma River in eastern Sichuan, after all, this section of the river is the only waterway for the transfer of grain and goods. At that time, 10 to 15 regiments may be dispatched to patrol each section of the river. ”

Wu Kuixiang muttered: "It's good to work for relief, only by giving those displaced people a way to live, they won't make trouble, and they won't rebel." ”

Han Xiufeng nodded slightly, then turned to look at Jiang Zonghai and Guan Yunzhong: "Then there is the caravan, from tomorrow onwards, we must strengthen the guards, and we must send more scouts along the way, and if we don't find out the situation ahead, we must not easily leave the field town where there are officers and soldiers or regimental training garrisons." If you encounter bandits and bandits on the way, you must not leave anything to chance, but should immediately help the officers and soldiers to defend the city and the wall. If you are in the wild, you can only choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack! ”
