Chapter 90: Catching Up!

Li Jiang always said, "Go and go back", but in less than half a burnt of incense, he came back with three short and thin men, one stayed on the shore, and the other two got on the boat on the left.

Although they did not wear the clothes of the army, they all carried swords, and one of them even showed his waist card, and the boatman dared not speak out, so he could only let them get on the boat.

Han Xiufeng accompanied Mr. Wang Qian and Mr. Li Jiang, who had just come back, drank wine for a while and chatted for a while, feeling that he was in a hurry to get out of the cabin and stand at the stern of the boat to relieve himself. Because I was a little dazed from drinking, I urinated in the river like this, and I didn't know if the boatmen on the boats next door were washing and washing rice and vegetables.

The cabin was full of officials, although Pan Er was very greedy, he didn't dare to go inside, he kept sitting in the stern of the boat to fish and watch the wind, and when he saw that Han Xiufeng had finished urinating, he couldn't help but say: "Fourth brother, I still don't feel solid in my heart." ”

"Why don't you be sure?" Han Xiufeng was worried that he would drink too much and make a mistake, so he didn't want to go back to the cabin, so he simply sat down.

"Fourth brother, I'm worried about those tax collectors and tax collectors on the shore, their hearts are darker than the other. If the Bronze Heavenly King really chased here, and really blamed us, wouldn't it be a bit suspenseful to expect them to uphold justice? Pan Er said and looked at the shore again.

"I thought you were worried about something, but I was worried about them."

"Shouldn't you be worried?"

"Don't worry about them, because it's not their turn to do justice." Han Xiufeng picked up the fishing rod with his hand, saw that the bait was still on the hook, threw it forward hard, and caught the fish as just now.

Pan Er asked curiously: "Fourth brother, who will you find if you don't ask them to uphold justice?" ”

Han Xiufeng knew that he had never been to Kuizhou, and he didn't want him to be worried all the time, so he explained: "This place is a bit similar to our Ba County, not only the government and the county are the same, but also the two big yamen of the Supervision Office and the Kui Cooperation Department, as well as the small yamen such as the Government Education Department, the Economic Department Department, the County School Administration, and the Capture Department. ”

"The prefect's yamen is also in the city?"

"Yes, Fengjie County is the first county of Kuizhou Prefecture, and the county government and the government are all in the city, so it is said that the government and the county government are the same."

"The Supervision Office is the Yamen?" Pan Erju asked by inference.

"Hmm." Han Xiufeng nodded slightly.

"What about the Kui Cooperative, what kind of yamen is the Kui Cooperative?"

"The Kui Association is the Kuizhou Association, do you know why Li came back so quickly, because the left camp of the Kuizhou Association is in the city gate, very close to us, only a few steps away."

"Why are you so close!" Pan Er muttered.

"The co-bid is the green camp, which is close to the city gate, and can usually assist Fengjie County to maintain local law and order and prevent the mixed porters on the dock from making trouble. It can also assist in the collection of taxes and prevent people from breaking through the customs. If there is a war, you can climb the nearby wall to defend against the enemy. Han Xiufeng pointed to the two military boats leaning on the other side of the river, and said with a smile: "See, those two boats are full of flood soldiers from the Green Battalion." ”

Pan Er couldn't help but smile and asked, "So all these officers and soldiers around us will help us?" ”

"This is natural, they are all Wang Qianzong's subordinates."

"I didn't expect Master Du to have such a big backer." Pan Er sighed, thought about it and asked, "Fourth brother, you just said that the Economic Department is a yamen, I have never heard of it." ”

"There's a lot you haven't heard of."

"What kind of yamen is it?"

Han Xiufeng raised the fishing rod and said with a smile: "The Economic Department is the official office of the Tongzhi of Kuizhou, and the Tongzhi is the assistant official of the prefect, and we also have a Tongzhi master in Chongqing Mansion, but later there were more and more people in Jiangbei, so the Jiangbei Hall was set up, and the Tongzhi Master moved to Jiangbei Hall City. ”

Pan Er asked, "Why is it better than the Tongzhi in Kuizhou?" ”

"Although Tongzhi is in charge of local affairs such as salt, grain, capture and theft, river defense, river engineering, water conservancy, cleaning up military registration, and soothing the people, he is ultimately the assistant officer of the government. How can Futai delegate power to others, he would rather hire a few more friends and bring a few more long-term followers than let him take care of these things. We have two shaking heads in Ba County, and he is actually the same, but he is just the shaking head master of the government. ”

"No wonder everyone wants to be the palm seal officer, and everyone wants to be the main hall." Pan Er always understood that there was no future as an assistant, so he thought about it and asked curiously: "Fourth brother, there are so many yamen in the city, so many masters, who listens to whom when encountering problems, and who is the biggest." ”

"Of course, it is the prefect of Kuizhou, and the prefect is the fourth product. However, Kuiguan is the gate of the household department, and most of the customs are dispatched by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the government can't control them. However, if you can't manage it, you can't manage it, and the supervisor of Kuiguan doesn't dare not give face to the government, and you have to be respectful when you see the government. Han Xiufeng paused, and then said: "As for the Kuizhou Coordination Standard, although it is under the control of the general military of Chongqing Town, it is necessary to listen to the government and Taiwan in the local area. ”

Pan Er reacted and couldn't help laughing: "So if the Copper Heavenly King really chases after him and frames the blame, we will go to the palace to uphold justice!" ”

"It's not us who asks for it, it's Wang Qian who goes to ask for cooperation, and Xietai goes to ask for justice in Futai."

"Yes, yes, yes, we can talk to Futai, whether this matter can be in Kuizhou, in the final analysis, it depends on Master Du."

……

As he was talking, he saw two clippers coming down the river and heading straight for the dock.

Pan Er didn't pay attention at first, until he heard the people on the two boats scolding the other boats to get out of the way, and then he realized that the figure standing on the bow of the boat was a little familiar.

"Fourth brother, they're really catching up!"

"Get up and let them see clearly." Han Xiufeng put down the fishing rod, got up and held on to the roof of the cabin and shouted: "Mr. Wang Qian, big brother, the Copper Heavenly King is here, and the Copper Heavenly King is catching up." ”

Du San didn't care about drinking any more, threw down the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Uncle Wall, those turtle sons came so quickly, they were more than an hour later than us. Fortunately, my second brother was alert, otherwise he would have been planted in their hands this time. ”

When the silver came, Wang Qian was always more excited than Du San, and turned around and smiled: "It's just in time, Li Gui, send a signal to the shore!" ”

"Yes." Li threw down the wine bowl and climbed to the stern of the boat, first called out to the two flood soldiers hiding on the boat next to him, and then stood at the bow of the boat and gestured to the flood soldiers who stayed on the shore.

Just when he was preparing here, Zhou Ye also saw Han Xiufeng wearing an official uniform, and he was so excited that he pointed at Han Xiufeng and scolded: "Bold Han Si, you dare to steal official copper, and you can be arrested without restraining your hands!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants and young men on the ship drew their knives or picked up their clubs.

He was still two feet away from here, and the boat was no better than the shore, and there were twenty or thirty people, but the ones who could really do it were the ones at the bow of the boat. Although the green battalion has been in peace for a long time, the camp affairs are slack, and they can't go into battle and fight any tough battles, but Wang Qianzong and Li Jiangzong, military attachΓ©s, still have two hands, and one can really deal with two or three of them.

Han Xiufeng was not worried at all, and said with a smile: "Who did I say, it turned out to be Master Zhou." Tuesday Ye is still so funny, and he jokes with Han again. ”
