Chapter 184: The Boy of the Four Wars Investigates in the Night
Pan Kai listened to his aunt's categorical tone, and naturally knew that she had made up her mind and would not change. I didn't persuade much at the moment, and went home to prepare for the response.
By this time, he had also calmed down.
At the beginning, because things were a little sudden, he was a little out of calculation, and he didn't think about how Hua Xue could deal with their Pan family.
Mrs. Shicai Zhou said so arrogantly, Pan Kai also figured it out.
He was really frightened before.
The folk say that "the county order of the broken family, the prefect of the destroyed door", this is not a joke, in the local area, the parent official is quite authoritative.
But Suzhou is not your average place.
Although it is said that the emperor is far away from the capital, the southern six departments directly in charge of Suzhou are in Jinling, and they are very close to Suzhou.
Not to mention that even in Suzhou, the prefect is not the highest governor, and the Yamen of Su Song's governor is also in Suzhou City.
Governor Su Song, the full name is "the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, the prime minister's grain reserve, the military affairs of the Admiral, and the governor of Su Song". The so-called Su refers to Suzhou Mansion, Song refers to Songjiang Mansion, and the latter ones include about the provinces south of the Yangtze River in Nanzhili.
In terms of authority, the governor is the superior of the prefect, but in fact, they are not directly subordinate to the prefect. In the Ming Dynasty, the governor was not a permanent official position, but was set up for military needs during special periods, early to fight against the Japanese, and later to suppress bandits and border defense.
In terms of the modern structure of official posts, the governor is about the head of the inspection group of the special affairs office specially dispatched by the central authorities, and is directly responsible to the central authorities, but he also has a certain degree of authority to manage local government affairs and military affairs, and can handle special affairs. The prefect is equivalent to the mayor of the prefecture-level city, and is responsible to the provincial governor at the higher level, which was called "Chengxuan political envoy" in the Ming Dynasty. However, Suzhou Prefecture belongs to Nanzhili, because Nanzhili does not have a political envoy, and the Suzhou prefect is directly responsible to the Nanliu Ministry, which is about the level of having the treatment of a municipality directly under the central government but not a municipality directly under the central government.
The prefect has the real power of the entire prefecture, but if the prefect thinks that the prefect is wrong, the governor can intervene.
Thinking of this, Pan Kai felt a lot more at ease, your surname Hua can be transferred to the Suzhou Mansion, can't we go to the governor's yamen to complain? Even if it doesn't work, as an aunt, they go to Jinling to find a complaint from the Southern Sixth Division, and they don't dare to ignore it.
As for the Jinyi Guard, you went in and out from the payment yamen, and you said that you could mobilize the Jinyi Guard, do you think I would believe it?
The more Pan Kai thought about it, the more relieved he became, and when he went home and told Zhu Gui and the others, they also felt that there was some truth, but they persuaded Pan Kai: This kind of thing, always have to plan for the worst, and would rather believe it than believe it. Because I can't afford to lose, once I lose, it will be a disaster that will destroy my family.
Pan Kai is not a decisive person, but his aunt has already made a decision, so he can't change it.
gritted his teeth, thanked Zhu Gui and the others for their kindness, and made up his mind The next morning, with sincerity, he went to the mansion to find Huaxue and apologize to Yang Ai. I hope the other party can not be unrelenting.
This night, Hua Xue went to a few more money houses as she had agreed before. But this time the harvest was quick.
Hua Xue started to check directly from the money village closest to Xiuzhuang this time.
Flip through the accounts, and only look at the date and the time of each handover that the guy explained.
If you compare the amount again, you can see if the money is where it went.
Because the other party did not have the awareness and need to guard against this, Hua Xue had a harvest in the third money bank.
In order to prevent the money bank from helping the thieves to launder money, every transaction is to record the identity of the person who came, and the household registration system at the end of the Ming Dynasty was perfect enough, so the gang still leaked out of the money bank.
Hua Xue took a look, and the registered one was indeed Jinling's road guide, with this road guide record, as long as you are willing to check, the forces behind the other party will probably be clear. Falsifying such a thing as a guide is much more guilty than fraud or the like, and the other party is completely unnecessary.
With the result, Hua Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief, so that there was no need to go to Jinling, his current itinerary was very full, and he had no plans to leave Suzhou until Chen Yuan was proficient in martial arts.
Early the next morning, after Hua Xue went to the pear orchard to report the progress, she went to the government as usual.
Halfway through, Hua Xue suddenly stopped at a roadside stall: "I said brother, although I am very sure that you are not a new face, I still want to ask, are you originally a secret agent, or are you proficient in disguise and disguised as this familiar face?" ”
The other party was stunned for a moment, obviously didn't expect Hua Xue to ask like this, and asked with a blank face: "What did Mr. Xiao say?" ”
Hua Xue said angrily: "A few days ago, every time I passed by here, no matter what you do, you will spare your energy to keep an eye on me, if you dare to say that it is for other reasons, I will clean you up as an ulterior motive." ”
That day, Hua Xue was more than a dozen, and he naturally saw it, so he said: "Your fist is too hard, and the small worry has hit you, so naturally pay attention to it from time to time." ”
"Time doesn't match, I didn't notice you yesterday." Hua Xue pointed to another person not far away, "And that person, who is with you, right?" Every morning and evening when I pass by, I am shopping, he thinks that after changing his clothes, changing his height and face, I will not recognize it? ”
Hua Xue's spiritual power can be released, and she has special skills to distinguish others, not to mention that after judging the identity of the other party, Hua Xue also used the system to confirm that both of them are junior spies with disguise techniques. But what is the level of this primary, Hua Xue doesn't know very well. Hua Xue knew that this person was disguised, but he wasn't sure if the familiar face he had seen before had always been this person's disguise, or if it was another person at all. It was the predecessor who identified the familiar face, and he did not have this special skill of distinguishing others.
The stall owner saw that Hua Xue had even found out his accomplices, and knew that he had indeed been recognized, so he had to admit: "Mr. Hua Xiao's eyes, I have lived here for a few years in disguise, but I was still recognized by Mr. Xiao." Does the little gentleman know how to dress up as another specific person? ”
"I see, I thought you would." Hua Xue was a little disappointed, it seems that this elementary disguise technique can only change her own appearance, but cannot change the appearance of another specific person, which is a bit low-end.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, I know it's necessary for you to spy on me, and you can continue to monitor, I'm okay with that. I have something else to do with you today, you Lu Ziye, help me find out where this person came from. Hua Xue secretly threw the paper ball that copied the road guide information found yesterday to the stall owner, and said, "You may not be busy lately, I'm not in a hurry anyway, just give me the news when you're done." ”
After that, he picked up a handful of lychees from the stall, originally to make himself stop and talk without being obtrusive, and realized what was in his hand, and said lightly: "You are March Red?" Just arrived from Guangdong? What a blessing. ”
