Guan Zhutou brought all kinds of people involved in the "theft and sale of official copper" to Wengcheng, and Tao Zhubo only asked a few words to find out who was who, so he asked Guan Zhutou to take people outside the hall to be detained, neither torture nor others, let alone let people record and let those who committed crimes sign and draw the detention.

Although Han Xiufeng had been helping in the yamen before, he was only a Qing scholar after all, mainly dealing with officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, six-room clerks of the work, and the elder followers of the eldest lord. Usually don't talk about the big master, even the big master's friends are rarely seen. I think I know the rules of the yamen, but in fact, I only know the rules of the officials, and it is not until this moment that I know that being an official is not so simple.

The reason why Tao Zhubo did this was not because he was "easy to speak", but because he strictly adhered to the rules of being an official!

Because only the state and county main hall can be promoted to the court to judge the case, if he does not do a good job of using torture or recording confessions for Zhou Zhou Ye and others, he will give people a handle, and even if he does nothing like this, even if the county master knows that he can excuse himself and dare not disturb him in the middle of the night, the case will still be decided by the county master, and all kinds of people involved in this case will also be left to the county master to judge.

He is still so careful, Han Xiufeng is secretly sighing that there is knowledge everywhere, and Tao Master Bo suddenly asked: "Brother, did the transport officer give us a copy of the transfer to Ba County, did it come with an inventory of the copper catties loaded on each ship and the number of ships?" ”

"Yes," Han Xiufeng relieved himself, put down the tea bowl and said: "The one on the boat is a person who has been a friend for nearly ten years, and he doesn't know how to write official documents. ”

The pottery master Bo groaned: "So he is a 'big pick' official. ”

The big pick is different from the test, the comparison is not what the article is, but the focus is on the appearance and response, the body must be correct, and the language is translated, so there is an eight-character formula of "Tongtian Guan Riqi Jia by Shen", which is qualified for the first four characters. For example, the long aspect type is "same", the aspect type is "field", the body grows into "through", and the body is called "day".

Thinking of this, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, he said the same thing for his self-sufficiency, but it does look extraordinary." ”

"Beauty, why is it a thief......" Tao Master Bo sighed as if he was sorry, and asked again: "Brother, can you still remember the running account on the inventory?" ”

Han Xiufeng said without thinking: "Remember, there are a total of sixteen ships, one of which is a warship, and the others are all medium ships, each containing 30,000 catties of copper, which is the same from beginning to end, and it is not even a running account." ”

"Okay, great, I'm sorry for you to write a copy, and I'll be of great use when the transport officer arrives."

"It's a gesture."

……

On the official ship, Zhou Zhixian was concerned about the outside business, sitting in the cabin drinking tea and waiting for news. As a result, he waited and waited for the news, but waited for a Ba County official.

"It's so late, what is your lord looking for me?"

"Master Zhou, it's not our eldest master looking for you, but our second master asking you to go to Wengcheng."

"Second master?" Zhou Zhixian asked puzzled.

Guan Zhutou didn't want to delay his work, and said coldly: "Master Zhou, the second master is the county lord Bo Tao." Just now, we waited for the night patrol and caught a group of lawbreakers who stole and sold official copper at the Jinzimen Wharf, and the official copper stolen and sold was as much as 30,000 catties, and the matter was very ......serious."

These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Zhou Zhixian was frightened into a cold sweat, but he quickly regained his senses and said quietly: "Where are the captured gangs of lawbreakers now?" ”

"It's all in Urn City, Master Zhou can rest assured, they can't run!"

"Okay, I'll take a look."

"Master Zhou, please."

Chang Sui Liu San heard it clearly, his legs were frightened, and he held the yapai on the bow of the boat and said nervously: "Master, it's a Hongmen banquet, you can't go!" ”

Zhou Zhixian looked up at the young man sent by the Baxian Yamen to help take care of Yunnan Copper with lanterns on the shore, and thought that it was a blessing or a curse, but a disaster that could not be avoided, patted Liu San on the shoulder, and said lightly: "You have watched too much drama, and you have also feasted on the Hongmen." Stay well on the boat, and I'll go back as soon as I go, sir. ”

"Old man......"

"Less nonsense, let's go."

Zhou Zhixian took a few deep breaths in a row, jumped on the cargo ship with Guan Zhutou with a gloomy face, and then went ashore from the gangplank of the cargo ship, called a few officials brought from Yunnan, climbed uphill, and followed Guan Zhutou to Chaotianmen Urn City.

Tuesday Ye and the others all knelt under the root of the city wall, a group of trappers or armed with blades, or with water and fire sticks, fierce and vicious in a circle, seeing that Zhou Zhixian arrived with people, a guy actually wanted to get up and ask for help, but he was beaten with a stick, and he was beaten and his face was swollen and begged for mercy.

"Dare to frame Shangguan, see if I don't kill your turtle son!"

"If you hear it, if you see it, you don't want to think about what kind of place this is, you don't want to suffer from the flesh and skin, kneel down for me, be honest with me!"

Zhou Zhixian walked straight into the lobby as if he hadn't seen it, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, he arched his hand and smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Tao, Brother Tao is so majestic, this is for Zhou." ”

"How dare you," Tao Master Bo hurriedly got up and bypassed the public case to make a thousand, and then greeted: "Ba County Lord Bo Tao Youzhe greets Master Zhou, sit, please sit." ”

"Master Zhou, please." Han Xiufeng got up and gave a salute, and then pointed to the tea that Zhao Bogang had made: "Master Zhou, please use tea, this is the dragon well before the rain that our second master treasured, you must taste it." ”

"Brother Han is also here, it seems that my old servant is right, there is no good banquet, you are setting up a Hongmen banquet for Zhou!" Zhou Zhixian neither sat nor drank tea, just stood and looked coldly at Tao Zhubo and Han Xiufeng.

"Why did Master Zhou say this, Master Zhou, the lower officials sent someone to invite you late at night, first, I want to fulfill the friendship of the landlord and invite Master Zhou to go ashore for a cup of tea. Second, the arrest on duty tonight captured a group of lawbreakers who stole and sold official copper, and the matter was serious, and the lower officials did not dare to do it and could not take it seriously. ”

Zhou Zhixian guessed a rough idea as soon as he saw Han Xiufeng, but he was not as panicked as before, he actually raised his head and looked around, and said coldly: "With all due respect, you are setting up a private court!" ”

"Master Zhou, you are far away, although the lower official is only a nine-grade master, but he is also an official of the imperial court, and he has the same official party, and this is the official party of the lower official, why do you say that there is a private court?"

"Whether it's or not, Brother Tao knows in his heart."

After returning to the public case, Tao Master Bo slowly sat down, stared at Zhou Zhixian and said: "Master Zhou, if you have to say so, if you don't think so, then the officials really don't dare to take care of this case." Those bold outlaws outside bit like mad dogs, claiming that the theft and sale of official copper was instructed by Master Zhou, and Master Zhou is the main hall of a county, not only the officials can't control this matter, but also Master Wang, the main hall of my county. Please go back, let's see you at the Yamen early tomorrow morning! ”
