Han Zhixian has been a little distressed recently, not for the sake of governing the people, nor for the headache of the case, but for his father.

The old lady has sent someone over again in the past two days, urging him to take another concubine, and ordering him to have a granddaughter this time.

Because of this, Han Zhixian almost didn't worry about it.

Since he was young, the old lady has thought differently from others.

Under this patriarchal trend, the old lady actually likes his daughter.

It's a pity that God is not beautiful, he only has such a son as Han Zhixian in his life, maybe it is for his own wishes, or he is unwilling, so he named his son Han Xiaojuan.

Until now, Han Zhixian did not dare to write his full name on the official document, and wrote his own words as a substitute wherever he needed.

At the very least, Han Zhirong is much better than Han Xiaojuan.

In order to send the old lady away, Han Zhixian gave birth to two grandsons successively, but they didn't win the favor of the old lady, and he still urged to have a granddaughter.

Han Zhixian was also willing to take a concubine, but he didn't dare.

Mrs.'s family is a big family in Shen County, and there have been five-grade officials in the family, and there are many powerful people, how can he compete with him as an outsider.

What's more, Mrs. really doesn't have to choose, she is handsome, graceful, knows the general situation, understands the rules, and since she entered the door of the Han family, she has kept the house in good order, and she is a rare virtuous helper.

And her temper ...

Thinking of his wife's angry face, Han Zhixian's legs and stomach were still a little tendoned.

It's sad, it's really uncomfortable to be caught between my father and my wife.

Circling around the garden, the family ran all the way over, shouting, "What's going on! ”

Han Zhixian frowned, "Come here!" ”

"Yes!"

The family came over, "Master, the shopkeeper Feng of Feng Ji Salt Shop, with seven or eight shopkeepers such as rice shop, money shop, medicine shop, and silk village, has arrived, and is waiting in the side hall!" ”

"Okay, I got it!"

Han Zhixian is a little strange, he has not been an official here for a long time, but he also knows that these family affairs are famous squires in Shen County, and they usually want to hide from the county government, as if they are afraid of being bitten. Why did you come to your door today?

Ordering his subordinates to change their clothes, Han Zhixian slowly came to the side hall.

"I've seen my lord!"

Shopkeeper Feng and others saluted together.

Han Zhixian nodded and asked them to get up, and then sat down and ordered people to serve tea and refreshments, and said, "You guys are here today, what are you doing?" ”

"Please make the decision for the grass people!"

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

Shopkeeper Feng Zhengse said: "My lord knows, we are all cultivators and scholars who do our part, and we didn't want to do business, but for the prosperity of the market, we had to become businessmen, set up caravans to walk back and forth, transfer goods from the north and south, and provide convenience for the people of Shen County." ”

Han Zhixian pursed his lips and did not speak.

Shopkeeper Feng didn't see it, and continued, "Under the rule of adults, it has always been stable, there are few disasters, there are no bandits, and it is a model for the surrounding counties. However, just a few days ago, when I was waiting for the caravan to pass through the cross slope, I was robbed by thieves. The whole caravan didn't even leave any people and goods, and please call the shots! ”

Han Zhixian was surprised: "There is such a thing? Do you have a certificate? ”

Shopkeeper Feng said: "I have a blood book sent by the thief here as proof. ”

As soon as he said that, he waved his hand, and each shopkeeper took out a few copies of the blood book from his sleeve, gathered them in the hands of the shopkeeper Feng and handed them over.

Han Zhixian took it and looked at it, and his brows furrowed.

"What's drawn on this?"

"Back to adults, none of our fellows in the caravan horse gang have ever read or written. So I can only draw some familiar marks on the letter paper so that my friends know that it is him. My lord, look at the two bloody handprints, these are the guys in my caravan! ”

Lord Han frowned.

At this moment, two officials ran over and shouted, "Master, it's not good, master, something happened!" ”

Han Zhixian said angrily: "If you talk nonsense again, hit thirty first!" ”

The officials were silent.

Han Zhixian looked at them and said impatiently: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Back to the master, the county lieutenant was tied up by someone else!"

"What?"

Han Zhixian took the case.

"Look, sir, this is a blood letter sent by the county lieutenant!"

The official hurriedly handed over two pieces of paper, and Han Zhixian grabbed it and looked at it, his face turned black.

Shopkeeper Feng interjected beside him: "My lord, they are all notified in the form of blood letters, they must be the same gang of bandits?" ”

Han Zhixian ignored him and asked the officer, "Where did you find it?" ”

"The blood book is posted on the gate of the county government, and there are more than a dozen of them. It took a long time for the kid to remove these two. The rest is really too tightly pasted, and the second master is organizing people to rub the things on it and transfer it to the master for a while. ”

"Mr. knows about this, too?"

"Even the lady and the old lady in the back house knew about it, and the maids were frightened."

"The old lady is here too?"

Han Zhixian's face darkened, "Go!" Let Mrs. stabilize the back house and don't mess with herself. As for the housekeeper, he hurried to prepare a banquet for the old lady and calmed him down. The more things happen, the more chaotic it becomes. Feng shopkeeper! ”

"In!" Shopkeeper Feng bowed his head and agreed.

"You tell me the details, and the rest of us will go back first. This gang of thieves is so rampant that they dare to tie up the county lieutenant, will the spearhead be directly pointed at this official next time? It's lawless! Li Er, summoned the third class of officials to standby, Cao Liu, called Mr. to come to the study, and said that there was something important to discuss! ”

"Yes, sir!" The two officials took the order and went their own way.

Han Zhixian didn't care about being polite at this time, turned around and left, and Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly followed behind.

There were only six or seven shopkeepers left in the garden, and they looked at each other, with a few smiles in their eyes, and left the yamen in a good mood.

----

"My lord, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle."

The person who spoke was surnamed Shen, about forty years old, wearing a long robe, with a white face and beard, and some elegant temperament.

This person is a staff member of Han Zhi County, and he has some means, which makes the county government very respectful. Han Zhixian is generally called Mr., and there are also people called Second Master below, all of whom refer to him.

"What do you mean by that?"

"My lord, my position as an official county lieutenant does not exist. In a county, there is only one person each in the county, the county and the main book, and then there is the following classic history and county learning teachings and teachings. ”

Han Zhixian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did Kong Chen's county lieutenant come from?" ”

"This is a bad habit of officialdom, if adults want to know, let me know afterwards."

Mr. Shen glanced at him at what he said, and Han Zhixian suddenly remembered.

By the way, I forgot! That's what I only sold last year.

"Let's not talk about this first, the county lieutenant is already in charge of public security and arrest of thieves, and those who can fight and dare to fight are all under his command, and now they are directly less. Moreover, there are only fifty or sixty people in the three classes of the county government now, and I am afraid that they will not be able to suppress the bandits. ”

"Then you can't leave it alone, the blood book is posted on the gate of the county government, it's just a slap in the face of the county master!" Shopkeeper Feng was a little anxious.

Mr. Shen looked at him meaningfully, "Who is provoking the county government and put it aside for the time being, the bandits really can't ignore it at this moment!" ”
