Catch smugglers and investigate smuggled salt, that's going to kill you!

Xu Lequn didn't think that even the two Huai salt envoys couldn't do it, Han Xiufeng's nine-product inspection could be done, the reason why he came here was because the old club's business was becoming more and more difficult to do, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he took a look at it with the idea of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

When he first entered the Yamen of the Inspection Division, he saw that Han Xiufeng was so young, and he thought that he was not able to do things with no hair, and he really had the urge to turn his head back, until Han Xiufeng was worried that Su Jueming would be retaliated against by the relatives of those people outside the Yamen, and he wanted to send Su Jueming to Taizhou, so he was a little impressed by Han Xiufeng, and felt that things might not be able to be done, but this person could still be handed over.

Han Xiufeng didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't care what he would think, as long as the salt farm helped to find out the whereabouts of the private lord, and after finishing the business, he asked Pan Er to take them to the inner house to settle down, and then continued to read the transcript made by Li Xiucai during the interrogation in the past two days.

Judging from the records, the people in the class room are all scoundrels who cheat, cheat, bully and dominate the market, are brave and ruthless, pick quarrels and provoke trouble, or petty theft.

It's right if you don't, and if you do, it's not so easy to catch.

Han Xiufengzai looked through it carefully, and pulled out a few of them and put them aside, then raised his head and said, "Changsheng, take turns to take people out to breathe, starting from the class room A." ”

"Breathable, young master, what kind of breath?"

"The first batch has been held for four or five days, and if you don't take them out to breathe, they'll go crazy."

Only then did Pan Er realize that those prisoners had never come out after they were locked in the class room, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "Young Master, how many do you bring out at a time?" ”

"Bring them all out, one class room after another. By the way, call Mr. Li and ask Mr. Li to help roll him out, otherwise I won't be able to match the number just by looking at the roster. ”

"Okay, I'll go."

……

After waiting for half a pillar of incense, the seventeen prisoners, including Chen Jingjun, were scolded by Pan Er, Datou and a few archers and brought to the front of the hall, and asked them to kneel in three rows.

In the past few days, there has been no vain, one is more honest than the other, some can't adapt to the light outside and can't open their eyes, and the eyes that can be opened are all sluggish, and no one dares to shout grievances anymore. His hair was messy, his body was dirty, his beard was unkempt, his face and hands were full of dirt, and his body exuded a sour stench, like a dozen walking corpses.

Han Xiufeng touched his nose and turned around and said, "Mr. Li, roll call, call whose name and let whoever raise their head, so that the official can see what it looks like." ”

Li Xiucai has not been happy in the past few days, but when he saw that Su Jueming came back and brought a scholar, he was even more unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it, and hurriedly said: "Yes." ”

"Chen Jingjun!"

shouted, but Chen Jingjun didn't react.

Li Xiucai gave the archers standing on the side a look, and the archers were suspected of being dirty, so they simply raised the water and fire stick and knocked Chen Jingjun's back, Chen Jingjun relieved himself and subconsciously raised his head.

"What are you shouting at, what are you in a daze, what are you thinking!" Li Xiucai glared at the prisoner, and then turned around and said, "Master Han, this is Chen Jingjun." ”

"Next."

"Money has money!"

"Oh." One of the prisoners hurriedly raised his head.

Han Xiufeng looked at the face of the prisoner, picked up the record and looked at it, and then motioned for Li Xiucai to continue the roll call.

……

I ordered one after another, and after ordering, I asked the archers to take the prisoners around the courtyard, and then put them back in the class A and then bring the people in the class B out.

Li Xiucai named the prisoner on his lips, and muttered in his heart that he didn't ask about the case or ask for money, but Han Xiufeng was very happy, until Chu Chenggui and Jiang Huai brought back the prisoners from those villages on the west side of Baimi, and then said lightly: "All of them will be escorted back to the class room, and from tomorrow onwards, they will be brought out once in the morning and evening to breathe, and they will come in turn like today, every time they stick incense, and the handcuffs and shackles do not need to be removed." ”

Li Xiucai secretly scolded you for thinking you were playing monkey, but Chu Chenggui couldn't help but remind: "Master Han, the shackles are not enough, you brought a total of fifty pairs from Taizhou, and now there are more than 100 prisoners." ”

"Didn't you see the notice posted outside the yamen when you came back, there are twenty-three of them to be released, just waiting for their house to come and collect people." Pan Er turned around and said.

"Brother Pan, even if you put twenty-three, it's still not enough."

Han Xiufeng said with a smile: "Isn't there an iron chain if the shackles are not enough, lock their necks, lest they be dishonest." ”

Chu Chenggui hurriedly said: "Huh! ”

Han Xiufeng picked up the roster of prisoners who had been marked when he recognized the person just now, and continued: "Chenggui, you are tired after a day of running, except for those on duty, go back and rest." ”

"Master Han, do you want to take someone tomorrow?" Chu Chenggui couldn't help but ask.

"If you don't take it tomorrow, you won't be able to close it again." Han Xiufeng glanced at Li Xiucai, and then said: "Changsheng, you know Dean Gu of Fengshan Academy, go and ask Dean Gu to invite a few local squires to come to Yamen for tea, just say that if you follow the customs of the villagers, I will ask them what customs the Hai'an people have for the New Year." ”

"Young master, it's not early, do you want to prepare a banquet?"

"Forget about the banquet, didn't you steam steamed steamed buns in the morning, hot a few steamed buns, and prepare some pickles."

……

Li Xiucai didn't say that he wanted to be an official in his heart, and he didn't talk about the ancients like you, but it is estimated that there is no one who will come later, there are so many prisoners imprisoned in the yamen, and he can earn a few hundred taels of silver by casually finalizing it, and as a result, what will he do to be a clean official, just eat bran and vegetables by himself, and don't let the people below have a fat year!

He was depressed, and Han Xiufeng suddenly said, "Mr. Li, you are tired after asking about the case for a day, go back to the inner house as soon as possible to rest." ”

"Master Han, in fact, if you want to know what customs Hai'an has for the New Year, you can ask about the late life."

"Ask Dean Gu the same, anyway, Changsheng has already gone to invite them."

Han Xiufeng smiled slightly, Li Xiucai could only laugh dryly, and then bowed, put down the transcript and walked into the second hall. Zhang Shiheng became more and more shrewd, and followed in without Han Xiufeng's eyes, thinking that Han Xiufeng was going to discuss major matters with the local gentry, for fear that Li Xiucai would hear about it.

Pan Er knew yesterday that Dean Gu and the other gentry were waiting for news in the pawnshop, and there was no need to cross the river to Fengshan, so he invited Dean Gu and the others in less than half a pillar of incense.

Chen Youdao has a meritorious reputation, he has to follow Pan Er to stop him, but he just makes a bitter face with Han Xiufeng.

Han Xiufeng didn't care at all as if he didn't see it, got up and bypassed the public case to greet him, Dean Gu and the other gentry were flattered, and after a few pleasantries, they actually praised the good deed of deciding to let the twenty-three criminals go home for the New Year in the afternoon.

"Dean Gu, don't praise again, I'm really embarrassed to praise Xiufeng again, but when I mentioned it, I suddenly remembered something."

"Master Han, what's the matter?"

"Gao Xiaozhuang's Li Hai, I don't know if Dean Gu recognizes it?"

"I know, when his father was alive, he would go to the academy every year at this time and beg me to help his family write Spring Festival couplets. Later, I saw that he was pitiful, and asked him to plant the school field of our academy, but I didn't expect him to be good at farming, so he actually went to steal other people's grain. If it weren't for Master Han, you would have been aware of everything, and the old man wouldn't have known how long he would have been deceived. ”

"Dean Gu, you only know one thing about Lehi stealing grain, but you don't know the other." Han Xiufeng picked up the transcript and handed it over: "You don't necessarily believe it when you say it, he stole grain to pay rent for the academy." Because the seeds of autumn grain were not selected well in the future, and there was no harvest in the field, I was worried that you would not be able to pay the rent and let him plant again, so I took the risk to go to Hejiazhuang to steal other people's grain. ”

"There is such a thing!" Dean Gu's face was incredulous.

"Mr. Li asked very carefully, and Xiufeng thought that there should be no fake."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier if the harvest was not good, and if you told me earlier, you wouldn't have ended up in such a field!"

"Dean Gu, do you always think that Li Hai can still be saved?"

"I know his father, he is a very honest child who watched him grow up. Master Han, if you can raise your noble hand, Gu can help him as a guarantor! ”

Inviting you to come is to give you a favor, Han Xiufeng smiled happily: "What are you talking about, Dean Gu, you always think that this Li Hai can change his mind and face, and he doesn't need to be a guarantee." But it's okay to let him go back, but you can't help but give Zhang Bazhi from Hejiazhuang an explanation, after all, he stole six bags of rice from others. ”

What a lot of face it is to be able to fish out a person from the hand in front of him, how could Dean Gu miss this opportunity, and said without thinking: "Master Han, I am ashamed to say that Gu, as the dean of the academy, did not pay attention to the harvest of the school field. The six bags of rice that Li Hai stole from other people's houses naturally had to be compensated by the academy first, and then asked him to help pay the rent when the harvest of the school field was good in the coming year. ”

"Dean Gu is really a bodhisattva, okay, that's it!" Han Xiufeng arched his hand, then turned around and said, "Changsheng, release people, release Gao Xiaozhuang's Li Hai." ”
