Seeing off Qin'er, my sister and Fei Erye, Han Xiufeng was about to go to the garrison office to see how Zhang Qingyu's funeral was prepared, and Xi Yibing, the general manager of the camp office who was supposed to help with the funeral, actually came to say that Zhang Qingyu was originally the general manager of the eight-grade foreign committee, and he had just been promoted to the general manager by the school a few days ago.

When Xi Yibing said this, Han Xiufeng remembered that the brothers brought out from Hai'an are now all officials.

Although the total is only the seventh grade, it is the same as the court official. The death of a court official naturally can't be treated as much as an ordinary soldier who died. can only be good, let Xi Yibing hurry up to draft an official document, and first go to the provincial department to report to Wu Tingdong.

Zhili only has a governor, not a governor, so when he was waiting for Diem Dinh Dong to send someone to report to the new governor Gui Liang in Baoding, Ng Dinh Tung, who received the official letter, actually sent someone to let him go to the provincial office.

Wu Tingdong's acting direct subordinate envoy can be called infinite during this time, I don't know how many civil and military officials went to visit, Han Xiufeng didn't want to join in this excitement, so Wu Tingdong went to say goodbye on the day he came back from the capital, and never went again. Now that Ng Dinh Dong has sent someone to summon him, he can only go to meet him with a hard head.

Riding a fast horse to the provincial office, the entrance of the yamen was full of sedan chairs as when I came last time. The restaurant on the east side of the school was full of people, including officials of all sizes in official uniforms.

Han Xiufeng glanced at it curiously, turned over and dismounted and stuffed the reins to Chen Bu, who was accompanying him, and was about to take the name card to find the disciple, when Wu Tingdong's family Wu Fu ran out and said, "Master Han, you came so fast!" ”

"Your lord summons, do I dare to delay?"

Wu Fu had heard Wu Tingdong talk about Han Xiufeng, and he knew very well that Han Xiufeng was different from those officials who were waiting to be summoned, so he bowed down and said: "Look at what you said, the small one doesn't mean anything else, the small one wants to say that the adult is judging the case in the court, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while." ”

If problems are found in the case files submitted by the state governments, either the state governments will be dismissed and ordered to retry them, or the state governments will be ordered to send all the prisoners and human and material evidence to the court for personal trial, and only when it is confirmed that there is no problem can it be reported to the Yamen of the Governor of Baoding before the end of July, and then the three sessions will be held together with the Governor of Zhili and the political envoy of Zhili, and then it will be reported to the Criminal Department.

Zhili is so big, I don't know how many major cases will occur in a year, and it is really not possible to cope with this according to the probation if someone else is to do it. Even if you can handle it, you have to hire a dozen or twenty of them to say the least. But Han Xiufeng knew very well that this would not be difficult for Wu Tingdong, because Wu Tingdong originally came out of the Criminal Department, which is the sum of the world's criminal names, and it was more convenient for Wu Tingdong to solve the case than to govern the river.

Thinking that it was not a trivial matter to ascend to the court to try the case, Han Xiufeng simply stopped, looked at the officials who were sitting in the restaurant diagonally opposite and waiting to be summoned, and asked curiously: "Wu Fu, why is the case so urgent, and you have to decide it yourself?" ”

"The case of rebellion is not one, but many, either the son killed and injured Lao Tzu, or the younger brother killed the elder brother, and a disobedient mother-in-law actually pushed her mother-in-law into the well and drowned!"

"So many cases of rebellion?" Han Xiufeng was taken aback.

"It is precisely because of the many that the Lord of Taiwan is worried that the emperor will blame, so he specially sent someone to ask my family to go through one by one."

"The Lord of Taiwan has just arrived, and even if there are more cases against Lun, it is none of his business."

"Master Han, this is the reason, but those adults in the capital will not control whether the adults of Taiwan and my family have just arrived, if they know that there are so many cases of rebellion in Zhili, they will definitely talk about the people's customs and education."

"If someone really says it, it must not be that they don't know that all this is not to blame on the Lord of the Taiwan and your family, but because of the eyes of the Lord of the Taiwan and your family."

"Master Han, you are right." Wu Fu smiled, bowed down and asked Han Xiufeng to sit in the gatehouse for a while.

Han Xiufeng followed into the gatehouse, thought about it and turned back and said, "There are a lot of people waiting to be summoned today." ”

Wu Fu said with a smile while making tea: "Why are you waiting to be summoned, my family adults don't have time to see them." ”

"That's a request to see?"

"It's not a request to see, Master Han, you haven't been here these days, I don't know, since my family has acted as the inspector, not only have the original subordinate officials of the Yamen come according to the inspector, but the lord of the Taiwan has also sent more than forty alternate officers who are waiting for the probation of the commission in Baoding to listen to it. Those who have money rent to live in the city, and those who don't have money to live in the village, regardless of whether there is something wrong with the yamen or not, and whether or not the adults of my family have been summoned, they come every day. ”

"Forty or so!" Han Xiufeng thought it was incredible.

Wu Fu was no longer surprised, and said like a few family treasures: "Two alternate prefects, five alternate prefects, alternate Tongzhi, alternate general judgment, alternate governor, alternate magistrate, alternate county, alternate county, alternate master, alternate inspection and alternate canonical history more, I can't remember the name, I can't get the number." ”

Han Xiufeng was happy, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really true that the Lord of Taiwan is stuffed with so many alternate officials at once, how can you arrange it for your family?" ”

"I heard from my family, there is no way for the master to make Taiwan. If you want to talk about alternate officers, there are more in Baoding, and it is said that one seems to have starved to death last month. Seeing that they were pitiful, the people who made the Taiwan were so pitiful that they distributed them to the yamen, and asked them to see if they could give them an errand committee, even if they were allowed to run an errand once a year. ”

Han Xiufeng reacted, stared at him and asked, "Wu Fu, your family called me, is it planned to stuff a few alternate officers in my River Hall?" ”

"I know I can't hide it from you!" Wu Fu scratched his neck and explained embarrassedly: "The alternate officer is the same as an official, this army is chaotic, and it is nothing to starve to death to kill the people, if even the officials starve to death, how ugly will it be?" If people spend money to donate officials, not only will they not be able to make up for the shortage after so many years, but they will not even be able to mix with the commission, who will be willing to donate in the future? ”

"Not only can't you watch those alternates starve to death, but you also have to give hope to those who plan to donate but haven't done yet?"

"That's pretty much what my family said." Wu Fu smiled, and then said: "My family has already sent eight to the North Shore Hall, and twelve to the Shijingshan Hall and the Triangle Lake Hall, so why do you have to arrange four over there." ”

"Can my South Shore Hall be compared to the North Shore Hall, my South Shore Hall is now a military camp!"

"So my lord only plans to send you four," Wu Fu was waiting for Han Xiufeng to talk about this just now at the entrance of the yamen, and he actually took out an official document from his sleeve: "Master Han, didn't you send someone to report the illness and death in the morning, my family said that the river camp is no better than the green camp in other towns, and there is no need to report the funeral to the Yamen of the Taiwan system." He also said that the camp affairs should not be delayed because of this, and you can recommend the vacancy that has just been vacated. ”

"I'll help your family support the four alternates, and your family will help our school pull out a president?"

"Master Han, those alternate officers are not as difficult to raise as you think, you usually don't have to worry about it at all, as long as one gives them one or two errands, it can make them earn a couple of dates, and let them not starve to death."

Thinking that Yongxiang went to the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, and even took the family away, and the twenty acres of land that he rented before was now uncultivated, Han Xiufeng asked with a smile: "Can you let them go to farm?" ”

"What's not to do, let them farm, just let them pick up dung, as long as they don't starve to death."

"What if they don't want to?"

"Then I can't complain about you, I can't complain about my family, you and my family don't give them a way to live, it's that they don't cherish themselves."

"Then it's decided, as for the vacancy vacated by Zhang Qingyu, let the foreign commission Ge Erxiao top it, and the foreign commission vacated by Ge Erxiao will be topped by the additional foreign commissioner Chen Bu panic, so that there will be a vacant vacancy of the additional foreign commission, I will go back and think about who is suitable, and when I think about it, I will send someone to send their resumes."

"Master Han, my family just said that I could help the school to pull out a general ......"

"Your lord also said that you can't delay the camp, and you don't know that I don't know that there is a pit for a radish and a pit for a radish to be filled after pulling out the radish." Han Xiufeng thought that this deal was not a loss, and he didn't want to dream a lot at night, so he got up and said, "I don't know how long your family's case will be resolved, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”

Wu Fuke didn't dare to take charge of the three or four military attachés at once, and just when he didn't know what to say, Han Xiufeng had already strode out of the Provincial Bureau, signaling Chen Bu, who was guarding the side, to lead the horse over.

Wu Fu was in a hurry, so he could only run to the side of the horse and say, "Master Han, otherwise, you can bring the four alternate masters back first, and I will report to my family later." ”

"Okay, you go shout."

"Wait, I'll come when I go."

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, Wu Fu led four civil officials from the restaurant to run over, the oldest was in his fifties, and the youngest was in his forties, and was about to take a closer look at the complement on their chests, when an alternate officer bowed down and said: "Xiaguan Daoguang raised people in the nineteenth year, and Gao Yunfeng, the alternate of Zhili, visited Master Han." ”

"Xiaguan Zhili alternate sentence Li Hui to meet Master Han!"

"Ding Huixian, the alternate magistrate of Xiaguan Zhili, visited Master Han."

"Xiaguan...... Xiaguan Zhili alternate inspector Li ...... Li Xiaosheng met and met Master Han. ”

Li Xiaosheng's official uniform is the oldest, he wears the most shabby, his face is yellow and thin, and he knows that he is very poor at a glance, and he finally waited for an errand, but he was so excited that he was incoherent.

Seeing their excited looks, Han Xiufeng suddenly thought of himself, and secretly thought that even if he could be distributed to the province without the support of his fellow villagers, let alone fill the vacancy, it would not be so easy even if he wanted to find a commissioner, maybe he would really wait for more than ten or twenty years, and once he was distributed to the province, even if he had no errands, he could not return to his hometown without authorization, and if he didn't do it, he would really starve to death.

Because of this, Han Xiufeng actually sympathized with them a little, and bowed his hand back: "Everyone, the general manager in this official camp has just died of illness, and you have to rush back to handle the funeral, so there are not many polite words, and you guys go back to pack your luggage......

Just as he was going to let them pack their luggage, Ming'er went to the South Bank Hall early in the morning, and Gao Yunfeng, the alternate who had the highest grade and the best background, said eagerly: "Yun Feng can help with the funeral, Yun Feng is willing to listen to Master Han's dispatch, and is willing to share the worries of Master Han!" ”
