"The situation in Huguang is complicated, and there are displaced people in Xunyang, as well as Tusi in Miao Village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe Han people and the natives fight from time to time because of the wealth of the fields, and the public opinion is complicated, which is not much better than Brother Fan's hometown. Since the later years of Mu Temple, the discipline is not tight, and the local Tusi has become more unstable, often doing evil, robbing pedestrians. The natives are fierce and poor, they don't know the law, and there is no way to take them, a person from a village is a people who carry a hoe, and a knife is a bandit, and they can't do it if they want to arrest people, so they have to turn a blind eye, and even they rob people, and they have to appease them to send them money and food, hoping that they will not rob again if they have food. It's ridiculous, but that's how it's always been handled. Because of this, those toasts became arrogant, and they didn't pay much attention to the government. It wasn't until Zeng Shibo destroyed the Nine Silk Barbarians two years ago that the natives were slightly restrained and knew that the power of heaven was unshakable. Ling Shibo killed Luo Shanman in Guangdong, but in fact, he killed even better, but the news spread quickly enough in Huguang. In addition to the natives, there are bandits in Xiangxi, there are water thieves on the water, the demon book says that the water should be in Xiangxi, but I don't know which way to build momentum, but whether it is Tusi Miao Village or bandits, this Huguang will not be peaceful when it comes to trouble. ”

The girl frowned, her expression was serious, although she was a beauty of the country and the city, but at this time she looked like a minister who was worried about the country and the people, and did not have the shyness of a girl in the harem. Guangzhou's civilized, coupled with Fan Jin's fame, everyone knows a little bit about the ladies, regardless of appearance or demeanor, but no one can compare with this woman.

Her voice is extremely beautiful, but her tone is very dull, and her spirit is all involved in the demon book case, and she can't really take care of the difference in gender. Several people returned to the ship from the bookstore and went directly to the cabin to discuss the matter. This kind of major event is not detailed, ordinary people are naturally not qualified to participate, and Zhang Sixiu does not feel that those celebrities and talents around him can help him in this kind of thing, one is not invited, only arranges someone to invite Liu Kanzhi. Fan Jin was able to attend, which was all the result of this woman's strong advocacy.

Her mood was very heavy, "Huguang produces a lot of grain, and it is an important granary for the imperial court. What's more, Changsha is a north-south tunnel. Once there is chaos here, whether it is the failure of the crop harvest or the interruption of the north-south transportation, it will be a big trouble for the imperial court. At present, the new law is about to be implemented, and what is needed is that the world is peaceful, and if there is no prosperity, and if a war really starts, it will be necessary to continue the old rules in order to maintain stability, and I don't know how long the new law will have to be delayed before it can be implemented. ”

Zhang Sixiu said: "Little sister, you are a woman, and there is a man to handle this matter, so you don't care." I didn't expect that a few charlatans and a prince brother would actually get involved in the great rebellion, and it would be strange if I didn't skin them this time! The dead fat man can be left alone, the two surnamed Song and Gao have to ask well. Gao Xiuqing himself is a talent, and he actually made such a trip without a king and a father, and he refused to tolerate it! Kill a few of them, and the matter will be settled, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

The girl shook her head and said, "What's the use of beating them?" The most important thing now is not one or two people, but the whole Huguang. I don't know how many copies they printed and where they sent it. If they really united with the Tusi of Xiangxi and prepared to rebel, killing them would not be able to quell it. ”

When she said this, she looked at Fan Jin and said: "Fan Gongzi has done military affairs in Guangdong, especially Luo Shanman, which is a famous victory in the world in recent years, and he has his own experience in this kind of thing. This time, I'm afraid that I will have to worry about Lao Fan Gongzi. ”

Zhang Sixiu said: "It's not that as long as Fan Gongzi bothered, Huguang is not as good as Guangdong, Brother Fan has limited knowledge of Huguang's situation, and if he wants to make a move, he doesn't know where to start." In the end, this matter has to be done by us Huguang people, and I think Brother Liu should also arrive. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the cabin door, and then Liu Kanzhi walked in from outside, and the two handsome servants followed closely behind with a large stack of books. In Fan Jin's opinion, Liu Kanzhi's appearance as a male god is no problem, but the overall style is biased towards femininity, and there is always a bit of a sick look on the face, and he has to cough a few times from time to time, which always gives people a sickly feeling.

In the current aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty, the image of a talented man is sometimes indeed associated with illness and weakness, and this delicate appearance does not affect people's perception of it. Moreover, Liu Kanzhi is just not in good health, and he is far from being sick, and no one will really get tired of him. As soon as Zhang Sixiu saw him come in, he warmly beckoned him to sit down, and he could see the distance and proximity of his attitude very clearly.

As the son of the servant of the Criminal Department, Liu Kanzhi does have his own strengths in terms of criminal names and investigations, and the reason why he was able to catch Zhao Ying and others in one fell swoop is the credit of his subordinate Liu Wu. A family will still be like this, and the means of the master's family can be known regardless of asking. According to Zhang Sixiu, there was a group of thieves near Yiling who were extremely fierce before, and it was also Liu Kanzhi's plot to wipe them out. He is not a genius who only knows how to read and write, but has great insights in practice, and is also familiar with public opinion in Huguang. In Zhang Sixiu's view, Liu Kanzhi's role in dealing with this matter is far greater than Fan Jin's.

His thinking is not wrong, the time and place are favorable, and the most important thing is to grasp the information, no matter how experienced Fan Jin, an outsider, can make a correct calculation without the support of these materials. The copywriting that Liu Kanzhi's subordinates took was the situation of Xiangxi Tusi that he sorted out and the information of some famous thieves and Jianghu characters in Huguang. Since Liu Yiru served in the Criminal Department, he engaged in these things as a member of the Yanei, and he was indeed more familiar with it than ordinary people. Judging from the things he carried with him, it can also be seen that he has long thought about catching thieves and thieves.

He first listened to the demon book, shook his head and smiled: "Sister Shi, do you know why I didn't go to the bookstore?" It's just that I know that when I go, I must quarrel with you, so I don't want to give birth to right and wrong, but I didn't expect the second brother to still refuse to let me go. To put it mildly, we shouldn't care about it, and we can't do it. Everyone is going to Beijing to take the exam, this is the biggest thing, nothing is more important than this. As for local affairs, it would be good for the local yamen to solve them. What I brought with me were some of the information I had collected and the information I had compiled myself, and I handed them over to the yamen, and even if our business was done, we didn't have to worry about the rest. ”

Zhang's has always treated Fan Jin politely, but when it comes to Liu Kanzhi, he is a little rude and unreasonable. Her beautiful eyes glared, "Why did Brother Liu say this?" You and I are both eunuchs, and Brother Liu can be an official even if he doesn't take the imperial examination, which is the grace of the imperial court. Although we are not nobles, we can also be regarded as sharing honor and loss with the imperial court, and Brother Liu's attitude is inevitably like those local officials, which is too irresponsible. ”

Liu Kanzhi smiled at Brother Zhang, "I knew this was the case. In fact, I didn't want to get involved in this case at the beginning, and I didn't want you to get involved, because I didn't want to make a big fuss. If it is only dealt with as a charlatan, the Ji Wangfu will take people back to deal with it, and those people will also be punished by the king's law. As for other things, Huguang's local brocade clothes and yamen are not all indifferent, and they can always figure things out by investigating slowly. We are just scholars, this kind of thing is mixed in, there is not much benefit, these people are not as easy to deal with as Shimei thought, thinking that we can say a word casually here, and the people below are more diligent, and the case will be solved. It's not that simple, I happen to know some of the demon books you said. Wait a minute......"

A handsome servant looked for a few pages in a pile of documents, and handed over a few pages, and Liu Kanzhi put the paper on the case: "When I was last year, the Jianchang Mansion in Raozhou was attacked, and the thieves coerced the king to seize the seal, and swept away most of the wealth accumulated in the Jianchang Mansion for several generations, and even the golden seal of the Qin seal was taken away. After the investigation, it was found that the children of the small sect Yuanzhi were involved and colluded with Jiang Yang to rob the property of the relatives. Of course, the yamen couldn't ignore such a big case, and the garrison and the yamen mobilized a large number of men and horses to pursue it, but the thieves were very fierce and cunning, and they finally escaped. ”

Zhang Sixiu said: "I also know about this, in order to push through, the magistrate pressed the Jianchang Mansion to prevent it from being reported, and he still wanted to hide this matter, which is simply unreasonable!" ”

"The same cannot be said, the magistrate also has a problem. If it is reported like this, the imperial court will order a strict investigation, and it is inevitable that the officials and officials will harass the local government in the name of investigating the case. When the time comes, whether it is a false accusation of thieves or a pursuit of dirt and stripping civilians, innocent people will suffer. When the lion opens his mouth in the palace, and the place will compensate for the loss, then it will be even more difficult to do. The Jianchang Mansion is not a good man and a woman, and the people are already very dissatisfied with them. During the pursuit, someone found some things from the items left behind by the bandits, among which there were several mutilated books, and the records in the books were very similar to the demon book you mentioned, and it can be basically concluded that this case and that case were done by a group of people. ”

"I've never heard of that." The girl shook her head and said, "Where did Brother Liu get the news?" ”

Fan Jin answered: "It's better to have more than one thing in the yamen, are you afraid of trouble?" This kind of demon book case is reported, and the above must attach great importance to it, and the nature of the case will be more serious than tying up the king's robbery seal, and when the time comes, the three days will be limited to five days, and the officials will suffer. Therefore, it must be concealed if it can be concealed, and it will not be reported. Xiao Lu Gong is in the second position of the Xiantai, and he has dealt with the yamen a lot, so he naturally has his own relationship, and Brother Liu's news must have heard from those officials in charge. ”

Liu Kanzhi didn't deny it, nodded and said: "This matter came through the side of the judge's yamen, and there is communication between the yamen, especially the officers below." Of course, they don't report this kind of thing, but they must pass the news among their own people. ”

The girl snorted, "No wonder my father wants to take the test, these slippery officials, dare to conceal such an important matter and not report it, it's really hateful!" ”

She paused and said, "It turns out that there is really such a group of thieves, so we should have caught them all." Since they don't have a law in Raozhou, it can be seen how useless these magistrates are. Just handing over these things to the yamen may not be able to catch them. These people robbed the palace in Raozhou, and there is another Jiwang Mansion here, are they afraid of their goal? ”

Fan Jin said: "That's probably it. If you want to rebel, you must first have a military salary. In addition, if they want to win over those toasts to teach the art of war, they can't do without buying gold and silver treasures, if they make a deal in Changsha and go to Xiangxi with this gold bead to bribe a certain toast, maybe they can really make trouble. ”

The girl said: "Then we must not let them succeed, the bandits in Xiangxi are already lawless, if they are in cahoots with the anti-thieves, the whole Huguang will be shaken and will affect the world, and it will also destroy the new law, this matter cannot be ignored." Brother Liu, since you have sorted out these things, it can be seen that you have already had the intention of eradicating these gangsters, and now you can let it go, which is too irresponsible. ”

Liu Kanzhi smiled bitterly,

"Shimei, the foolish brother is also from Huguang, if Huguang is in chaos, our hometown will be affected, are you not in a hurry with me? If I don't want to deal with them, I won't sort them out. But we are just a few scholars, relying on our fathers and grandparents to be officials in the court, and the local government gives us a little face, do you really think we can cover the sky with one hand? In terms of doing things, who of these magistrates is not more experienced than us? What we think, they can think of, staying will not help much, and if we don't do it, we will add to the chaos. These thieves are brave and cunning, not easy to deal with, and the situation in Xiangxi is even more complicated, and it is related to those toasts, and they cannot act rashly. Brother Fan has helped with military affairs in Guangdong, and he knows the difficulties, and it took nearly two years for Ling to control the army in Luoshan, and if he wants to solve Xiangxi, he is afraid that he may not be able to work in ten years. Where did we get so much time, and where did Huguang get this power? ”

"Then according to Brother Liu, pretending to be deaf and dumb has never happened?"

"That is not the case, it is sometimes a disposition to lift it up and fall lightly. Most of the anti-thieves are not yet the time to see the dagger, we only remind the Jiwang Mansion to take precautions, and then treat a few people as sticks, so as to calm the heart of the anti-thief, and then go to Beijing to respond. Privately repair the book to Zhang Zhongcheng, ask him to visit the traitorous party carefully, we hurry into Beijing, ask the imperial court to send troops, and take precautions as soon as possible. At that time, with the gathering of soldiers from several provinces, those Tusi will not dare to rebel again, and the art of war says that the soldiers who surrender without a fight are like this. ”

"What if one of the thieves rises up? Don't forget the rebellion of the Mayang Golden Daoists. In my opinion, one quick fight and three slow, or the sooner the better, while the thieves are not ready, first catch them, and when they really start fighting, it will be too late. ”

The two of them have their own arguments, and they are at a stalemate for a while, the girl and Liu Kanzhi are very familiar with each other, and they are not polite to speak.

Both of them are excellent characters, but they are both conceited and talented, especially Liu Kanzhi pays more attention to men's face, will not bow to women, and quarrels are commonplace.

After the two quarreled for a while, Zhang Sixiu said: "Little sister, what Brother Liu said makes sense. First, we don't have an identity, and it's not good to say that our name is not right, and the local government gives us face, but we can't use this face casually, it's not appropriate. Second, we don't have time, and if we spend time here, we will have to delay the exam. Third, we don't have manpower, and even if we want to contribute to the country, we don't have enough spare energy. So it's better to repair the book to Zhang Shibo and ask him to watch out carefully. ”

"No! What's the difference between your arrangement and running away? If you miss a major event in order to catch the exam, your father will not allow you in front of you. Brother Fan, do you think we should leave or stay? ”

After all, the girl is limited in age, and when she sees herself isolated, she begins to ask for help. In Fan Jin's opinion, Liu Kanzhi's opinion is actually not wrong, after all, these second ancestors are not officials, and staying to point fingers at this kind of big case is very suspicious of overstepping the bounds of the court, and it is not very useful.

Commanding through a layer is like scratching the boot and not commanding properly. Besides, with so many fat sheep here, if there are really thieves, their own situation will be dangerous. In the end, it probably didn't help, but instead added to the problem.

But seeing the girl's warm eyes, I clearly felt her diligent mood, if I splashed cold water on my head, I am afraid that this hoe will not be easy to wave. After thinking for a while, Fan Jin smiled and arched his hand towards a few people.

"What Brother Liu said is an old opinion, and it is very appropriate to deal with it. But what Miss Zhang said is not wrong, this demon book has a lot to do, if they really let them develop strength, I am afraid that things will be very tricky. Although we are not officials of the imperial court, we are reading the book of Confucius and Mencius after all, and we must ask about the affairs of the monarch's father. Although there is a shortage of major generals at hand, if you want to deal with these thieves, it is not completely unhelpful. This is ...... Some of them may not necessarily be delayed for too long. ”
