It has been several days since the murder of the doorman, and although the matter was killed by something special such as a silver needle smeared with poison, this incident did not cause any big trouble, after all, there is no way to solve many things.

Not to mention that Zhang Fan just smelled some of the situation of Liang Chao and Li Yang, so he came to the conclusion that the enemy hired someone to do it; It is Wang Dezhao, the local prefect who should have managed this matter, after sending out the yamen to investigate several times without success, he gradually shelved this matter, this is not that Wang Dezhao is too irresponsible, but this matter has really no clue for so many days, and the deceased was poisoned and died, and the fact that the deceased was poisoned by a needle and died was just that Zhang Fan and a few people in Wang Dezhao's yamen knew about it, and in the file that was reported, the cause of death was still written that he died of a sudden attack of heart disease. There is no trace of the word "poison" written on it.

This can be regarded as Wang Dezhao's selfishness of not wanting to cause trouble, and the people below didn't say anything about it, because this kind of thing that may involve people in the rivers and lakes, in fact, the imperial court is not too willing to intervene, as long as the matter is not very big, basically no one will take the initiative to find trouble, there has been a situation because the magistrate in a certain place has grasped this kind of thing, and even the murderer is about to be found, but the official was suddenly killed, and the murderer can not be found at all after that, so, whether it is Wang Dezhao or the fast catcher in the yamen, whether it is honest or greedy, this kind of thing basically does not want to be asked.

The silver escorted over from Zhejiang has been counted by Zhang Fan's people in the past few days, and now the number has come out, although the number that has been counted now is a thousand taels of silver compared to the number reported by Zhejiang, but compared to the total number, the loss of such a little unknown reason is already very small, so Zhang Fan didn't want to do anything on this at all, and he even took out 10,000 taels to the soldiers who escorted the silver over as a reward, which made the head of the hundred households who led the team even more grateful Dade.

After the silver was counted, it began to be loaded according to Zhang Fan's instructions, because the amount of silver was too much, and now there is still silver from Fujian that has not been shipped, and the silver here has been packed with hundreds of boxes, people who don't know the situation still think that this is something that Zhang Fan brought to the dignitaries in Beijing or something else, but this amount is really too much, and those who know the situation, such as Liang Chao, are really sighing when they see this, because there are too many.

Because he was in a hurry, Jinyiwei hired a lot of porters to carry these boxes, even those young and strong porters, it took three or four to carry a box, which made these porters guess what was in these boxes.

Because Yangzhou is the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it is very prosperous, but because of the Longqing switch incident in the past few years, Songjiang and Suzhou, which are close to the port, have become more in demand for labor, so even many local porters in Yangzhou have gone there to find work, but now there is such a large amount of work that needs manpower, plus Zhang Fan, who needs manpower, is the minister of the imperial court, and the situation a few days ago, so Zhang Fan opened his mouth to pick a husband, Wang Dezhao looked anxious, and hurriedly gathered the porters in the city, but after the people came, Zhang Fan listened to Liang Chao's report that the manpower was still not enough, and the progress of the transportation was very slow, so he asked people to talk to Wang Dezhao again.

When Wang Dezhao heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly thought of a way, but the porters in Yangzhou City were basically found by Zhang Fan, and there were no more idlers, if he was recruited temporarily, he was afraid that some people who just wanted to eat mixed rice would mix in, but it would slow down the progress, Wang Dezhao also took great pains to do this, but fortunately, the master in his yamen gave him an idea and asked him to go to Suzhou to find someone.

When Wang Dezhao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to tell the Suzhou prefect about this matter, and the Suzhou prefect was also implicated in this Liu Shan corruption incident, and now it is Wang Dezhao who came to ask for someone with Zhang Fan's meaning, where did he dare to have the meaning of being lazy, and quickly asked the official to find a porter and send it to Yangzhou, fortunately, now the sea ship has already returned for many days, and there is no important work, plus Zhang Fan's treatment of these porters who are willing to come to Yangzhou is really good, so no one complains.

So, more than 100 people rushed to Yangzhou after a whole day's trip, although they were asked to participate in the work immediately, but fortunately, Zhang Fan had instructed, in addition to the full package of food and lodging, the food given was really good, so no one objected to this kind of request.

For the sake of fairness, Zhang Fan's price is that no matter how many of these people carry a box together, carrying a box is a penny of silver, let them divide it, in this way, it can be said that the enthusiasm is high, the porter is not because of the difficulties at home to do this kind of physical work, naturally he wants to earn more silver, so everyone is playing with their lives to carry the box, but Liang Chao, who is the supervisor, also got Zhang Fan's order, these porters work hard, but in this summer, the weather is hot, but don't die, so for the sake of fairness, Liang Chao forced all the porters to come down every two hours to rest and then go to work, plus someone on the side specially boiled a lot of mung bean soup for the porters to relieve the heat, after so many years, some people are tired and weak, but no one really has heat stroke or anything.

These porters are also full of praise for the treatment here, but they are also very conflicted, and want to delay a little longer, after all, the conditions here are so good that they may not be able to eat what is here at home on weekdays; But I slowed down, but I was afraid that others would take on a few more burdens and take less wages.

However, it is the most practical thing for these people to really get the money in their hands, so after thinking about it, these porters are still working hard, no, it has only been a long time, and these boxes are almost finished.

Liang Chao has been supervising the work here recently, although he doesn't say how much he feels, but he has also seen a lot of things, he has heard that the people work very hard, but now he has seen these porters work so hard for those wages that are not much in his eyes, although he can't say how much sympathy he has in his heart, but he also has some ideas.

These days, the bored Liang Chao is also as long as those porters rest, he will chat with them a few words, which makes him have a lot of understanding of the lives of the people at the bottom of the people, these people whose living conditions may be second only to Hanako, Liang Chao has never put on a high-ranking official stand, but seems to be much more approachable, which also makes him a supervisor to gain the trust of these people, although they have not read any books, but they have been living outside for so long, and it also makes their eyesight good, It can be seen that Liang Chao's identity as an overseer is not ordinary, but they still talk to him about some gossip and homely things, which may be a sign of trust.

Today is the last day, seeing that there are still dozens of boxes to be moved, just now those local porters learned that there are still jobs for them to come in a few days, but there are not so many, these people also have some thoughts, leaving the rest of the work to those colleagues from Suzhou, so that these people who come from afar can bring more wages back, and those who learned that they will not be able to come next time Suzhou porters, and they did not feel sad that they can no longer enjoy such superior working conditions, After all, although those of them who live at the bottom dream of having a lot of money, they still understand the reality very well and do not expect anything too extravagant.

"Okay, okay, let's rest first," Liang Chao saw that the sun was not early, it was almost noon, and the Chinese asked the porters to stop and eat, "There is not much left, and it is not too late to move after eating,"

The porters also listened in response and came over to receive the meal.

Liang Chao has been living here for the past few days, because the weather is too hot, he is no longer particular, and he wears very differently, which also invisibly pulls in the distance between him and these porters, and they are not very afraid of him.

"Brother Liang, it looks like it can be done in the afternoon," a banner squatted beside Liang Chao with lunch and said to him.

"I said you kid, you're thinking about wages," Liang Chao obviously knew him well, and said in a slightly joking tone, "Don't worry, I'll let people pay you when everything is moved, and someone will remember how much work you have done, and no one of you is indispensable,"

"That's good, that's good," the porter also laughed dryly, but there was no embarrassment on his face that was seen through his mind, after all, these people are very practical, "Alas, I said Brother Liang, what is in here," he asked the most curious thing.

"Silver, it's all silver," Liang Chao told the truth in a joking tone.

"Brother Liang, don't make fun of me, don't do this if you don't want to say it," the porter said angrily, "Forget it, anyway, there will be no business for me here soon, I have to go home quickly after taking the money,"

"Why, the family is waiting for the money," Liang Chao was not polite, he really cared about these people these days.

"No, it's just ......" The porter was a little embarrassed, but still said, "My brother-in-law is dead,"

"Oh, mourning," Liang Chao said after hearing it.

"Alas, my mother-in-law asked someone to bring me a letter this morning, asking me to go back quickly," the porter also sighed and said, "You said that this person is only in his early thirties, and he is still a doorman, and he has a few dollars of silver every month.

"Alas, this is also ......" Liang Chao just wanted to say something encouraging, but suddenly stopped and exclaimed, "What are you talking about?"
