Before Prison Officer Yang could speak, Yuan Chongshang had already frowned, looked at Prison Officer Yang, and asked, "Ghost Fang people?" When did you arrest the ghosts? He said coldly: "What nonsense." ”

Prison Officer Yang showed surprise, and said in fear: "Back to the two adults, there are no ghost people in this big prison, if you hold the ghost people in the big prison, the villain ...... The villain really didn't understand what was going on. ”

Chu Huan put his hands behind his back, his eyes were cold, and he sneered: "In this way, the rumors that Ben Qincha heard outside, are they rumors made by others?" ”

Prison Officer Yang hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare." It's just that the villain is a prison officer in the prison of the Criminal Department, and every time a prisoner enters the prison, the lower official will personally look at it, and only when the lower official sorts out his case file will he be imprisoned in the big prison. He looked very embarrassed, "The villain really doesn't know when the prisoner was held in the prison." Turning around, he asked the two jailers behind him, "You are in the prison, and you can see that there are ghost prisoners?" ”

The two jailers looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Prison Officer Yang said: "Your Excellency, you are clear, the ghost people live in Daqimeng, and they have never interacted with us, and it is rare for the ghost people to appear in this Taiyuan City. After the lord took office, he also repeatedly ordered that our Qin people and ghost people should live in harmony, and no accidents should be caused. ”

Yuan Chongshang bowed slightly, looked at Chu Huan, and said, "Lord Chu, if there are really ghost people who are arrested and imprisoned, this official believes that they will not dare to conceal it. ”

Chu Huan observed his words and felt that Yuan Chongshang really didn't seem to know that He Xigu and the others were arrested and imprisoned.

Yuan Chongshang was the dignified governor of Anyi, but he didn't know what happened to the Criminal Department, and it seemed that the yamen in Anyi were not completely controlled by Yuan Chongshang.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Actually, Ben Qincha only listened to what people said. The Governor also knew that the Huang family was rebelling, and the whole of Anyi should work together to quell the rebellion of the Huang family, and must not cause new chaos because of his affairs. Those ghost people are barbaric and uncivilized, and if they really conflict with the government, I am afraid it will be a big trouble. ”

Yuan Chongshang couldn't help but say: "It's just a ghost person, what's the way?" If they dare to make trouble, the official can not let them come nonsense. It's just that the saint had a will, and since the official is on the official side, he must ensure the peace of one side, and more things are better than less, and the two sides are safe, which is what the saint wants to see. With a look of sudden realization, he said with a smile: "Lord Chu is in a hurry, what else should I do, it turns out that it is because of the ghost people, Lord Chu, you have also seen it, there are no ghost people in this prison, I am afraid that there is a misunderstanding." ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "But Ben Qin sent people to listen to the words, they saw with their own eyes that the messengers of the Criminal Department arrested a few ghost people, are they lying false?" ”

Prison Officer Yang said: "Lord Qincha, those people are talking nonsense, and I don't know. Even if you really see it, it may not be someone from our Criminal Department. After the Huang family rebelled, their people made trouble everywhere, and the trouble was that they pretended to be the brothers of the Criminal Department and arrested the ghost people, but it was to frame the Criminal Department. His little eyes were wide open, "It's a deliberate attempt to sabotage the relationship between the ghost people and the government." ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "What Prison Officer Yang said is not unreasonable. He sneered in his heart, this Yang prison officer really didn't seem to be an ordinary role, he acted in a good way, if he hadn't suffered it himself, he would have been deceived by this big fat man's innocent appearance.

Yuan Chongshang said at this time: "Lord Chu, you haven't had breakfast yet, since there are no ghost people here, let's leave here first." He couldn't forget to eat breakfast, and it seemed that the smell of this prison made him very uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but cover his nose and said to Prison Officer Yang: "Although it is a prison, you should also clean it up, what is the smell of here." ”

Prison Officer Yang hurriedly said: "The villain immediately sent someone to clean it up." ”

Chu Huan was thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "Prison Officer Yang, is the cell boss in this big prison here?" ”

Prison Officer Yang immediately nodded, turned around and instructed the jailer to call, and after a while, he saw a cell head with five big and three thick coming over, Chu Huan looked at it twice, this cell head was obviously not the cell head who had interrogated him before.

When the cell boss came, he fell to his knees, "The villain has seen two adults. ”

"This is the cell head of your prison department?" Chu Huan asked.

Prison Officer Yang immediately said: "Exactly, he has been a cell boss here for four years. ”

"How many cell bosses do you have in this prison?"

Prison Officer Yang smiled: "Lord Hui, all the prisons of the Criminal Department have only one cell leader. ”

Chu Huan laughed, but his heart was also a little surprised, the people in the prison of the Criminal Department were fast, beyond Chu Huan's imagination, he thought that his degree was fast enough, but the other party's hands and feet were obviously faster than his own, and everything they had already arranged properly and dealt with it fully.

Yuan Chongshang obviously couldn't stand the smell in this cell, and urged: "Lord Chu, let's leave first." As for those ghost people, the official will go back and let people investigate. ”

Chu Huan didn't say much, a few people came out of the cell, and before they reached the main gate of the prison, they saw a person coming in front of them, and when they saw Yuan Chongshang, they were already walking over quickly, and arched their hands: "The lower official has seen the governor!" ”

Yuan Chongshang had already said to Chu Huan: "This is Kou Chun, the director of the Criminal Department. Xiang Kou Chun said: "This is Lord Qincha Chu from Beijing, come to inspect the prison of the Criminal Department!" ”

Kou Chunqi was not good-looking, with a thin face and triangular eyes, but his face was full of smiles, and he had already bowed his hand to Chu Huan and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Qincha." ”

Chu Huan had already said with a smile: "Master Kou, as soon as I saw you, I thought of your Qiu Butang. The Qiu Butang in his mouth naturally refers to Qiu Junxi, the Shangshu of the Yamen of the Criminal Department in the capital.

Kou Chun was stunned.

Chu Huan had already smiled and said: "Qiu Butang's Criminal Department, anyone who mentions it is afraid of three points, and when he enters the Yamen of the Criminal Department, it seems that he has entered a ghost gate, but Ben Qincha, the prison of the Criminal Department, has never entered, but it is the prison of Lord Kou, but Ben Qincha has been taught." ”

Kou Chun said with a smile: "Lord Qincha is busy with affairs, but he can still come to the prison of the Criminal Department to inspect, the lower official is really a blessing for three lives, if there is anything inappropriate, I hope Lord Qincha will give me more advice." ”

Chu Huan had already shook his head and said: "Lord Kou is humble, your prison of the Criminal Department is airtight and seamless, and you are the official, so you are also admired." ”

Kou Chun squinted his eyes and smiled: "Thanks to the praise of Lord Qincha, the lower officials should do their best in the future to live up to Lord Qincha's praise." ”

Chu Huan didn't say anything more, surrounded by Kou Chun and others, he got out of the prison of the Criminal Department and got into the carriage, Kou Chun was still respectfully bidding farewell by the carriage, Chu Huan raised his head and looked at the plaque of the prison of the Criminal Department, knowing that he had lost for a while today.

What he is most worried about now is the whereabouts of Hexigu and the others, as Hexigu said, once the ghost people in the sixteen caves of Daqimeng Mountain know that their leader and ghost master have been arrested by the government, it will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge for them, although they don't know much about the ghost people, but from Hegu's body, as well as the "three thousand warriors" claimed by Hexigu, Chu Huan knows that the ghost people must be a warlike race, if they are really instigated by people with ulterior motives, it will definitely be a big trouble.

The car was retained, and when he returned to the Governor's Mansion, Yuan Chongshang immediately sent someone to re-arrange breakfast, and there was no one else in the restaurant, only Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan were present.

In the past, the door of the restaurant was never closed, but after the early delivery today, not only the door was closed, but even the servants in front of the door were also pushed by the screen.

Yuan Chongshang handed the letter back to Chu Huan, and said with a straight face: "Lord Chu, the Holy Lord sent you here, but specifically to investigate this matter?" ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, and said: "The Holy Lord sent me here to do three things, in addition to this one, I also have to confiscate the property of the Huang family, and the other is to assist the Governor to quell the rebellion of the Huang family." ”

Yuan Chongshang immediately said: "Lord Chu, don't worry, except for the first thing, the next two things are not difficult. ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan said with a smile: "Lord Governor seems to be very confident. ”

"I have sent someone to seal all the houses of the Huang family in Taiyuan Mansion, and I have also ordered the closure of his shop business, and everything is waiting for Lord Chu to come and count it. As for the Huang family's land, we have already obtained the Huang family's accounts and title deeds, and the people from the household department will cooperate with the adults to calculate it. ”

Chu Huan bowed his head slightly and asked, "How is the situation over there in Yusuo Lake now?" ”

Yuan Chongshang said: "Lord Chu should have also heard that Yusuo Lake is the largest lake in my Anyi Dao, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are two islands in the lake. Speaking of this, he pushed away the dishes on the table, vacated a space, dipped his hand in tea, and drew a pattern in the shape of a jade lock on the table, "This is the shape of Yusuo Lake, this, and here, are the two islands of the lake, this is Liyu Island, this is Taiping Island." These two islands have a radius of dozens of miles, after the establishment of the country, Yusuo Lake was occupied by the Huang family, became their private lake, Yusuo Lake produces half of all aquatic products in our Anyi Road every year, in this one, the Huang family's annual profits, is appalling. ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I know that the Huang family is originally from a merchant background, and they attach great importance to money, and it seems that it is not a lie to say that their Huang family is rich and rivals the country." ”

Yuan Chongshang said: "This is true, the wealth of the Huang family is divided into two kinds of waterways, and on land are those land estates, and their family is in Anyi Road, at least more than ten estates. Their family's land, the court does not collect taxes, rent to the people to cultivate, in the harvest year, extract seventy percent of the molecules, in the famine year, there is also a fixed rent, whether it is a famine year or not, they can't lose their Huang family, and the people planted their land, but also have to do free tribute, what project the Huang family has to do, those people have to serve for free. The Governor obviously hated the Huang family, and when he spoke, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were full of resentment.
