The lights were dim in the Sinan Station, and Zhao Xiao was already sleepy, so under the service of the palace people, he went to rest in the wing room upstairs. August 1 Chinese ≈≥≥.≈

After being full of wine and food, Lin Lan sat at the table, waiting for Huang San's arrival. About an hour later, I waited until Huang San led Hu Sanbo, who was wearing an official uniform, and rushed from outside.

"The next lawsuit is Hu Sanbo, the county commander of Nanxian County, see Hou Ye." Hu Sanbo bowed his hand, raised his hand and glanced at Lin Lan in the hall, surprised how this person was so young, and thought he was an old man. He has been an official in Youzhou for many years, so naturally he doesn't know what kind of person Lin Lan is, who rose in Jiangnan and became popular in Beijing.

Lin Lan glanced at Hu Sanbo and said, "Hu County Order, do you think this post station has become so dilapidated under your rule, even if you don't have your responsibility, do you think it's embarrassing to know and not report it?"

Hu Sanbo's face changed, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The lower official knows his mistake." ”

Lin Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Oh? Mistakenly made so quickly? ”

Hu Sanbo respectfully handed over the envelope and said, "The lower official knows that the Hou Ye is thundering about the affairs of the post station, so when he came, he specially wrote a review and hoped that the Hou Ye would mention one or two." ”

Lin Lan was a little puzzled when she saw Hu Sanbo cooperating so happily, since she cooperated like this, even if she didn't come, she should make a move, and she had to wait until someone came over?

However, when he opened the letter, he realized what the so-called review article was. Coughing secretly, he coughed his throat and said to Hu Sanbo: "Hu County Order, come over for a while." ”

As soon as Hu Sanbo heard Lin Lan's tone become lighter, and he felt that there was a play, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, and happily followed Lin Lan to the side. Lin Lan said in her ear: "Hu County Order, this matter is not easy to do." ”

"Huh? Master Hou, didn't you pass through here, since you have something important to do, just leave directly, why is it not easy to do? ”

Lin Lan wanted to see how much silver could be squeezed out of this county order in Youzhou, which was so generous as one thousand taels of silver. Where did the money used to repair the post house go?

Hu Sanbo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Master Hou?" You make it clear. ”

Lin Lan said: "You don't know. The matter of this post station made the eldest princess very angry, and ordered that the person involved would not be spared, so many officials of the Ministry of Rites have seen it, your sincerity of apology, to Benhou, it doesn't matter much, but those officials of the Ministry of Rites are not easy to deal with, in my opinion, they still have to ......"

"Haha, this subordinate understands."

Hu Sanbo smiled and said, "The lower officials are ready." ”

By the time Lin Lan returned to the hall, the faces of those officials of the Ministry of Rites had changed slightly. Bai Haoran came up and said: "Master Hou, this Hu Sanbo is extremely powerful, the twenty people in this hall, each of them is a silver ticket of one hundred taels, if it is placed in the Jingshi, this can do something harmless, let alone such a small thing." ”

Lin Lan looked at the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the hall with a smile on her face, and immediately someone slapped the case and shouted: "Hu County Order, who are you waiting for me?" No, if you don't say that you are ugly today, it will be difficult to explain this matter. ”

Hu Sanbo's face changed instantly, he received all the money, and he actually gave him this time? He couldn't figure it out, what was going on. However, he was also prepared before coming, so he said, "This ...... If you go back to the Hou Ye, you don't need to be a Beijing teacher, the post station here comes and goes frequently, and it is naturally a little broken quickly, and then a small repair in five years, a major repair in ten years, after the overhaul a few years ago, it happened to encounter a fire, so it became such a dilapidated appearance. ”

Lin Lan saw Hu Sanbo lying without blushing, so he smiled and said: "I just heard Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Rites say that he and several waiters from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household are close friends. ”

The post station is used to transmit military information, inform the border news, is the central decision-making body of the Dajing Dynasty, naturally can not tolerate any differences, now the age is peaceful, the military salary is deducted hundreds of thousands of taels, but also to repair this post station, this is the reason.

Lin Lan continued: "Under the rule of your county order, the post man left his post without permission, and the patrol was lawless, such a post station, you told me it was because of a fire?" Even if it is really burned by the fire, it is your responsibility! Dare to bribe us with that silver ticket, really when I wait for a chicken feather as an arrow, I have nothing to do after eating? ”

"Someone! Arrest all these people for me, and Ben Hou will interrogate them! ”

"Master Lin! What right do you have to interrogate! ”

The person outside the house had not yet come out of the sedan chair, and the voice had already reached the house, Lin Lan squinted her eyes and smiled slightly, understanding that this matter seemed to be not just as simple as a Hu Sanbo, but also a more powerful task to control this big game of chess.

Among the envoys this time, according to the official rank, the biggest one is Zhang Baoguang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites who spoke just now.

The sedan curtain was opened, and the middle-aged man slowly walked out and said, "In my court's law and ancestral system, what qualifications does the noble marquis have to interrogate the imperial court officials!" ”

Zhang Baoguang said: "It turned out to be Zhang Songlin, this Youzhou prefect, don't you know that now Marquis Lin is burdened with a heavy responsibility, and he is the minister of Qincha, what?" Don't have this qualification? Could it be that Governor Zhang has this qualification? ”

Zhang Songlin also hurried to fight the fire, who knew that it would be such a big battle.

"You...... Are you Zhang Han's Zhang Gong? Zhang Songlin looked at the Duke of Han, who had the same surname as him, and was a little speechless, why did so many characters come out?

"What? Governor Zhang, you haven't answered the old man's words yet. Even if Hou Ye doesn't ask, the old man has something to ask Hu County's order, can he make it? ”

Zhang Songlin said hesitantly: "Make, of course." Then the lowly duty will not be disturbed, and the lowly duty will leave......"

Lin Lan smiled slightly, this product is really big-hearted, so she said, "Wait a minute." Governor Zhang threw himself into his arms, so Lin didn't have to invite you in person, so he simply ...... Let's interrogate them together. ”

Seeing that the prefect of Youzhou came in person for the sake of the small post station, Lin Lan was even more convinced that there were big variables here, and if he didn't figure it out, how could he be beaten for just two thousand taels of silver?

In Beijing, officials protect each other, and courtesies are exchanged. These routines are now becoming more and more unworkable. It's not that the tricks are not good, but the eagle falcon in the Beijing division has already stared at the officialdom that Zhao Han has killed clearly, if anyone wants to make small moves, they have to look at the eyes that can escape through the six doors.
