Text: Chapter IX: Disposition

As soon as Han Qian's words fell, he saw two young men whose minds had not been completely wiped out by this chaotic and bitter world and quickly ran down the mountain to find Li Zheng to report the news.

And even with Han Qian's support, the other tenants were standing on the periphery indifferently and fearfully, not daring to squeeze over to provoke right and wrong, or the mother and daughter, who were beaten with blood on their faces, to help Zhao Wuji to the foot of the wall and protect them, waiting for the official government to send someone to deal with it, so as not to let the Han family's soldiers abuse lynching again.

Although Fan Xicheng was saddened by the death of his adopted son, he asked Han Qian to hold the handle, and no matter how fierce his words and deeds were, it seemed that he was really ill-intentioned.

Seeing Zhao Kuo and the others becoming hesitant again, Fan Xicheng was so angry that he trembled, but he couldn't defend himself, he could only watch his adopted son Fan Wucheng fall in a pool of blood, and he still thought in his heart that Wu Cheng ran over early in the morning to drive the Zhao family father and son out of the grange, just to relieve his anger.

Thinking like this, it made Fan Xicheng cramp in his chest, and felt that Wu Cheng died too unjustly.

Seeing Fan Xicheng's forehead beating violently, Fan Dahei's eyes were red, and he was still full of anger, Han Qian was worried that he would not be able to suppress the father and son, frowned, and said to Fan Dahei: "Fan Dahei, you immediately ride back to the city and find my father to inform me of this matter - if you think that I am not handling this matter fairly, everything is up to my father to decide, but before that, you must not use lynching to ruin my Han family's style!" ”

The Han family's rumors in Xuanzhou may not be very good, but Han Qian wants to use this talk at this time to make Fan Xicheng and the soldiers of the family not act rashly.

Hearing Han Qian say this, Fan Xicheng had nothing to say.

A family soldier pulled the placket of Fan Dahei's shirt and persuaded in a low voice: "I will accompany you to the city to find the head of the family to explain this matter......

"Where do you need to go back to the city so much, is it possible that Fan Dahei can't explain things clearly when he returns to the city alone?" Han Qian said that he prevented the soldier from going with Fan Dahei, and Fan Dahei went back to the city to report to his father.

Although Fan Dahei was not angry that Fan Wucheng was killed by the tenants, and didn't even understand why he didn't uphold justice for Fan Wucheng at this time, Fan Dahei didn't have so much caution, and Han Qian didn't worry that he would fiddle with right and wrong when he went back to the city to find his father.

Seeing Fan Dahei go back to the villa to lead the horse, Han Qian looked left and right and said, "I'll wait here for the county government to send someone to come over and deal with this matter......

Han Qian lowered his head and burrowed into the dimly lit thatched hut, where Fan Wuwei's body lay motionless on the muddy ground, a pool of blood accumulated under his body.

The house was so simple that Han Qian couldn't imagine it, a small pit was dug in the ground in the corner of the house to serve as a fire pit, and a pile of firewood that was not completely burned was sprinkled, and the bowls and cans were broken all over the ground, and there were old traces in some of the gaps, it was obvious that these bowls and cans were already mutilated before they were broken.

In the corner there was a wooden table that had been broken apart.

In addition, there are a few simple farm tools in the hall.

There was no bed in the room on the east side, only two piles of hay spread on the ground, and the bedding was fairly clean, but I don't know how many patches it had - fortunately it was in the mountains, and the house was dry, perhaps because the mistress of the house was diligent in housekeeping, and looked quite dry.

On the west side of the room were two simple spinning wheels, which were about to fall apart, and in the corner there was a stump of a tree to prop up a bed, which was supposed to be the bed of the thin girl......

Han Qian really couldn't imagine that a family could be like this!

…………

Although Han Daoxun is an idle official from the fourth rank in the court, the Han family is not small, and Han Daoxun has a murder case in Zhuangzi, which he bought less than a year ago in Jiangcheng County, Jingzhao Mansion may not be able to do the same, but the county does not dare to be careless.

There is a section of road in the county seat, and Liu Yuan, the county lieutenant, personally rushed to the villa with the officials before noon and went to the scene to inquire about the case.

Liu Yuannai is a native of Jiangcheng County, he was in the Huainan Army when he was a teenager, and he was awarded the rank of Captain of the Sixth Rank Xiao Cavalry, and he became a lieutenant in the local area, and he was only mentioned in recent years - he can be regarded as a veteran who started with Emperor Tianyou.

After the establishment of the Chu State, Emperor Tianyou imitated the Han and Tang dynasties, implemented the three-long system under the prefectures and counties, and used the meritorious veterans of the Huainan Army as officials to stabilize the foundation of the Yang clan in the Jianghuai land.

If it was the Han family's soldiers who killed the tenant farmers, as long as they were not killed for no reason, they would be punished with copper or punished with a rod according to the law, but at this time, it was the tenants who killed the Han family's soldiers who broke into the door, and Liu Yuan felt very tricky when he heard this.

He didn't know how to deal with it, on the one hand, he didn't let himself be scolded by the local authorities, and on the other hand, he couldn't anger a wealthy family like the Han family.

Although the Han family is not the indigenous force of Jiang Cheng, and Han Daoxun is only an idle official in the court, but Jiang Cheng is only two or three hundred miles away from Xuanzhou, what kind of wealthy family the Han family is in Xuanzhou, the ordinary people do not know, Liu Yuan knows it.

Moreover, Han Daoxun has a reputation for governing the place, as the secretary of the Guangling Jiedu envoy, he originally had the opportunity to be promoted to the deputy envoy of the Jiedu or the state assassin, but this time he was transferred back to the court as a secretary and a young eunuch, which seems to be an idle position, but maybe he will have to be reused in the court after a while, and Liu Yuan, as a small county lieutenant, does not dare to offend.

Rushing to Qiuhu Mountain, Liu Yuan felt quite difficult along the way, but he didn't necessarily want to enter the villa, Han Qian, the young master of the Han family, was such a "reasonable" and "impartial" person.

Of course, even if the facts of the case are clear, and the young master of the Han family is so reasonable, there is no appearance of bending the law for personal gain and bullying others, Liu Yuan does not dare to write a lawsuit easily, arrest Zhao Wuji and carry Fan Wucheng's body back to the county government to close the case.

Jiangcheng County is subordinate to Jingzhao Mansion, next to Jinling City, not without a wealthy family, and even casually pick a family to get involved with the princes and ministers or royal relatives and nobles, such a murder case, not to mention that it is not pursued at all, and in the end, it is merciful to spare the murderer's life.

The young master of the Han family was too reasonable, but he asked Liu Yuan to have some scruples, worried that this might be a trap set by the Han family, and maybe there was something powerful elsewhere waiting for them Jiangcheng County officials to bite the hook?

Fortunately, I heard that Han Qian, the young master of the Han family, had sent someone back to Jinling City to inform Han Daoxun, Liu Yuan took the official and insisted on staying in Qiuhu Mountain and waiting for Han Daoxun's exact message before thinking about how to write this lawsuit.

Liu Yuan was over forty years old, and his mane was already a little gray, perhaps because of his early experience in the army, which made him sit in the shade of a tree and his waist was as straight as a pine.

Han Qian accompanied Liu Yuan to sit in the shade of the tree and drink tea.

Fan Xicheng was choked by Han Qian's anger, and he couldn't bear to see the tragic situation in the tenant's house where his adopted son died, so he took two injured soldiers back to the villa for treatment to avoid suspicion.

Under the mulberry tree, there is Zhang Qian, the Li Zheng of Taowuji, who sits with the officials brought by Liu Yuan and Zhao Kuo and other family soldiers.

Zhang Qian also returned to his hometown to serve after accumulating meritorious service in the army, and he felt sorry for Fan Wucheng's death, but he also felt that Zhao Wuji should not be blamed in this matter, but he couldn't say anything about how to deal with this matter in the end.

Looking at the situation, Han Qian also knew that they were all waiting for his father Han Daoxun's exact attitude, after all, he, the young master, really had no weight, and no one would really take him seriously.

Han Qian returned to Xuanzhou at the age of twelve, and was not taken to Jinling until the beginning of April this year to reunite with his father Han Daoxun.

One day in the future, Du Damn will be killed by the Heavenly Blessing Emperor's staff in Wenying Hall because of admonition, isn't it just "outspoken and daring"?

Han Qian thought to himself, if he could tell his father to learn smarter and not engage in any "literary death", wouldn't his final fate change?

However, if his father is a dead donkey as the dream history books say, how can he convince him not to try to anger Tianyan?

…………

…………

It wasn't until the sun set in the west that Fan Dahei saw Fan Dahei riding the purple-maned horse and three other knights, escorting a carriage, galloping along the dirt road by the lake to the side of the villa.

Seeing his father Han Daoxun rushing back to the villa in person, Han Qian accompanied the county lieutenant Liu Yuan and Li Zheng Zhang Qianying out.

Han Daoxun was in a hurry, and when he saw the county lieutenants Liu Yuan and Li Zhengzhang sneaking salutes, he raised his hand and said: "Han is really ashamed to control the house slaves and disturb the place, and many things are also handled by the county fairly, don't worry about Han, Han will never bend the law for the house slaves." ”

Liu Yuan didn't care whether Han Daoxun said this insincerely, but as long as Han Daoxun said this, he would be able to deal with it, and immediately signaled the officials to detain Zhao Laoqi, Zhao Wuji's father and son, and load Fan Wucheng's body into an ox cart and drag it back to the county overnight; The two injured family soldiers had already bandaged themselves at this time, and they all took a carriage to the county government to serve as witnesses, and with the words of the head of the family, Han Daoxun, they also knew what to say when they went to the county office.
