To catch a hundred, Pan Er was taken aback, thinking that the more he caught, the more money he would have, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Han Xiufeng didn't care what he thought, and only went back to the room to wash his feet and rest when he talked to Li Xiucai at night. Li Xiucai didn't expect Han Xiufeng to use him so soon, and it sounded like he was entrusted with a heavy task, so he agreed with a hot head.

Early the next morning, the yamen was sealed.

Han Xiufeng changed into official uniforms, led Chu Chenggui and other soap bow soldiers to bow down, put the seal of the Hai'an Inspection Division into the seal box lock in front of everyone, and then dispatched all the soldiers to divide into four ways according to the roster compiled by Su Jueming.

In previous years, Chu Chenggui and other soap archers would definitely find all kinds of reasons for not wanting to run errands. But this year is not in previous years, and this errand will not be done in vain, and one more prisoner can earn a little more money, so they don't care whether the yamen is sealed or not, and when they get the list and notice, they set off happily with shackles and chains.

To be an official, you must have official authority, and you can't do everything yourself.

Han Xiufeng didn't go again, and saw Yu Youfu, Datou, Zhang Shiheng and Chu Chenggui and other soap Li archers gone, so he turned around and smiled: "Mr. Li, Changsheng has nothing to do in the morning, let him accompany you back to Fu'an to borrow your family." I sent someone to tell Wang Ruhai from the post shop last night that his eldest had studied cooking in Taizhou for two years and would cook good food. There can be a few people in the post shop, and I will let him come to the yamen to do it in the future, and I will ask him to prepare a table of banquets and give his sister-in-law and son-in-law a reception at noon. ”

"Master Han, how embarrassing is this."

"It should be, it should be, there are a lot of official documents, so you can't go home, let my sister-in-law and son-in-law come to the yamen for the New Year, I have to show a little."

Without waiting for Li Xiu to speak, Pan Er smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I will hire the boat as soon as dawn, let's leave early, and now we can just come back for lunch." ”

"Master Han, will you go home to pick up your insiders first that night?"

"Go, go early and come back early."

Li Xiucai didn't know what kind of medicine was in Han Xiufeng's gourd, but even going back to pick up his wife and children made Pan Er stare at him, which made Li Xiucai realize that Han Xiufeng wanted to use him and guard against him.

But this is not the first time, the inspection three years ago was the same when he first took office, and then he was so troublesome that he even asked him to roll up and leave, but he was not politely invited back in less than a month.

Li Xiucai made up his mind and pretended not to guess anything, and then asked his friends to help when the yamen opened the seal after the year, and casually made a case to alarm the governor and even the prefect. It is a matter of performance appraisal, and the master of Zhizhou will definitely order the Maritime Security Inspection Department to arrest the criminal within the time limit. If you can't catch someone, see what you will do when the inspection comes!

Han Xiufeng didn't know what he thought, he only knew that he was a scribe who was protected from fire and theft, and when he saw him and Pan Er gone, he went back to the inner house to change his clothes, put on the cotton jacket he usually wears, and walked into the second hall to read the state chronicles.

……

The family members of the new inspection master and the soap archers of the inspection department and the yamen of the inspection department poured out of the nest, looking at the posture and taking people. The people of the town had never seen this battle, and they came to see the excitement. The bold ran to the edge of the instrument gate and peeked in, and the timid gathered at the door of the pawnshop and the cloth village to whisper in their ears.

"I'll just say that Master Han is different from Master Fang, Master Han is really a clean official, and he really follows the law as stated on the notice!"

"How do you say what you say?"

"In the past, they used to save money and take people, not only for shoes and socks and wine and food, but also for locking and unlocking money. Master Han didn't allow them to ask for money again, so they didn't dare to ask for it again. My cousin lives in Hujiaji, and my cousin said that yesterday they went to get people not only did they not ask for money, but they even brought their own dry food. ”

A hawker stood on tiptoe and looked around, and said vividly: "Isn't Chen Youdao's third son locked up in the class room, others have no money, can Chen Youdao have no money?" Yesterday, I watched him go to the yamen with his money bag, but Master Han didn't even let him in the door, let alone ask for his silver. ”

"Isn't it too little?" An old man asked in a chattering voice.

"Old man Jiang, where do you want to go, Master Han is really not a corrupt official like Master Fang," a vegetable vendor squeezed in and said, "In the past, the family members of the old man who patrolled the street to buy vegetables were all the official price of us." Master Han's family buys vegetables at market prices, and they can pay as much as they should, and they even speak politely. ”

"Really?"

"What am I lying to you about, if you don't believe it, ask the lame man."

"You don't need to ask the lame money, just ask me." Zhang Gui, who sold the biscuits, guarded his biscuit oven and said, "The yamen bought all the biscuits from me in the past two days, and bought seventy yesterday, and another seventy in the morning, two cents and one piece, all at the market price." I said buy so much and get a few free, do you know what Master Han's family said? ”

"How?"

"People say it's not easy for me to make some money in small business, I can do as much as I want, and I won't be cheap!"

"Oh, so we Hai'an really came to Bao Qingtian!"

"This is, otherwise how could you arrest people everywhere as soon as you take office, you should have been arrested a long time ago, those guys deserved to be locked up in the class room!"

……

Outsiders thought that Chen Youdao didn't come today, but in fact, Chen Youdao came at dawn and was sitting in the cloth village waiting for news.

He heard the comments of his neighbors clearly, and he was so worried that his son, who had been locked up for a day and a night, was so ashamed that he did not dare to go out of the village to the yamen.

Shopkeeper Feng knew how he was feeling at this moment, and persuaded while sorting out the cloth he had just entered: "Dean Chen, don't take it to heart, what they know, they know how to chew their tongues!" ”

"Stop calling the dean, I'm not the dean anymore."

"Why can't you shout, even if you are the dean for a day, you are also the dean."

Chen Youdao didn't care what others called him, and said worriedly: "Dean Gu said that Master Han just didn't let go, and he had to send my family Jingjun to the state government, and he said that he would have to go with a cane for a hundred and three thousand miles." A hundred rods is enough, and it's no joke to flow three thousand miles, that's for Jing Jun's life, that's for me to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. ”

Flowing for three thousand miles, it is either to the land of smoke or to a bitter cold place like Ningguta. Not to mention whether you can go to the place of exile alive, even if your fate is so big, you will be a cow and a horse, and you don't want to come back in this life, it's really better to live than die.

Shopkeeper Feng thought to himself what you had done earlier, but he comforted: "Dean Chen, don't worry, isn't Jing Jun not sent to the state government yet, even if he sends it, he will have to wait until the Yamen opens the seal after the year." I have a whole month to figure out a way, think about it, there must be a way. ”

"He doesn't eat hard and soft, and he doesn't eat oil and salt, what can I do?" Chen Youdao clenched his fists, thought about it and said: "I'll ask to see him again later, if he doesn't see me again, I'll go to Taizhou to meet Xuezheng, and Qiuxuezheng will help me intercede with the old man of Zhizhou." ”

"Don't go!"

"Why can't you go?"

"Dean Chen, you have seen the world, not to mention that this is related to Jing Jun's life, you can't be confused." Shopkeeper Feng put down the cloth, sat down and said, "What will Master Han think if you go to Taizhou, if you really go like this, there will be no room for maneuver in this matter." ”

"I know it's the next step, but what else can I do?"

"Isn't there still a month, don't worry, you just go to the yamen every day to ask for a meeting, two or three times a day, I don't believe that Master Han will not see him once. As long as you can see it, as long as you can talk, Jing Jun's affairs will also be able to take a turn for the better. ”
