Inspectorate of the Ombudsman.

Qin Huaidao rode a horse and walked over, in a good mood, there were more than 400 people at once, all of them were slightly injured, they had been raised for a few days, it was not a big problem to follow the carriage, it was a big deal to lead the way, and there were more than 400 more transportation at once, and it only took five days to complete the needs of King Wei.

"Your Excellency!" The four guards guarding the door saluted one after another.

"Everyone's there, right?" Qin Huaidao asked.

One of them hurriedly said, "It's all inside, and the two captains are training." ”

Qin Huaidao jumped off the horse and led him in to take a look, many people on the grass were practicing the formation together, Cheng Chumo was teaching, Yu Chi Baolin was supervising behind, Qin Huaidao didn't want to intervene, led the horse and continued to move forward, and soon came to the main hall, tied the horse to a bolt horse stone, and went straight to the backyard.

Not long after, Qin Huaidao saw Liu Da.

Liu Da came up and saluted: "My lord, I am inside, I have been living very peacefully recently, and I haven't made any trouble." ”

"Good work." Qin Huaidao said a word of encouragement, walked up and pushed open the door of the wing.

In the room, Cui Shihai was in a daze, and when he saw Qin Huaidao coming over, he quickly got up and said, "My lord, it has been locked up for more than ten days, whether it is killed or released, there should be an explanation." ”

"It's impossible, you instructed your subordinates to kill a few coachmen, the death penalty is inevitable, Zhenguan Law is clearly written, or think about your family, right? I heard that you were expelled from the Cui family and your family property was confiscated by the family, and your family must be living on the streets. Qin Huaidao said, sitting down on a chair.

Cui Shihai's eyes were dim, revealing a little remorse, and said with a wry smile: "I deserve my guilt, I can't complain about others, can I let my family see my family." ”

"It's not in order."

"I know it's not in order, how about we make a deal?"

"Let's hear it first." Qin Huaidao became interested and answered quietly.

"The five surnames and seven wangs are secretly supporting armed self-protection, and they exist in the name of bandits, dart bureaus, merchants, horse gangs, etc., and the Cui family is the same, I know where the Cui family secretly supported a group of bandits to hide, and the unexpected news, no one knows that the news is in the next place, the family should not have withdrawn, I tell the adult, how about the adult let me see the family?" Cui Shihai pleaded.

Qin Huaidao was a little tempted, and the Liang Zi of the Cui family had already been formed, if he could kill this wave of bandits, even if he cut off one of the Cui family's hands, there would be less threat, but the saint had already made it clear that he could not investigate again, and it would definitely not work to transfer troops, so he had to think of other ways, and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"About two hundred, five or six years, I must have accumulated a lot of silver." Cui Shihai pouted.

Cutting off Cui's minions, you can still make a profit, Qin Huaidao is a little moved, even if he doesn't do it, it is a good thing to grasp his whereabouts, so he agreed: "Say, where is it." ”

"Thank you, Master Chengful!" Cui Shihai was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "In the meridian road of the Qinling Mountains, there is a tributary at the Niujia ferry, only that tributary, it is easy to find, and the tributary is about five miles into the reeds, so they live in seclusion in the reeds, fishing as a cover, but in fact, they plunder the caravan passing through the meridian road." ”

"Aren't you afraid that the official will regret it?"

Cui Shihai was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "In addition to gambling, is there a choice in the future?" Anyway, it's the bandits who die, not the clansmen, and the family, it doesn't matter. ”

"Wait!" Qin Huaidao got up and left, although Cui Shihai deserved to die, but it didn't hurt to let him see his family and explain some of the future generations, his family was innocent.

After coming out, Qin Huaidao told Liu Da to continue staring, and when he came to the main hall, he saw Cheng Chumo and Wei Chigong coming out of it, and asked, "Aren't you two training?" ”

Cheng Chu smiled silently: "It's rare for adults to come back, so come here to ask for instructions." ”

"Okay, my brother, if you are an adult or not, come in and talk."

The three of them entered the main hall, and after sitting down separately, Qin Huaidao asked casually, "How is the house recently?" ”

"Everything is normal, the brothers are almost running in, they are all idle and panicked, they have to find something to do, otherwise they are afraid of chaos." Cheng Chumo reminded.

"What kind of mess can there be, isn't it good to be idle?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"Brothers want to make meritorious contributions." Cheng Chumo said bluntly.

Qin Huaidao looked at Yu Chi Baolin, and Yu Chi Baolin also agreed: "I really have to find something to do, it's not appropriate to practice like this every day, the brothers are transferred from the border army, and they are all eager to make meritorious contributions, if they are idle, their morale will be dispersed." ”

"Don't worry, let's talk about the combat effectiveness, there is no task recently, Brother Cheng, I bother you to take a few people to run now, bring Cui Shihai's family over secretly after finding it, let them meet, remember, you must keep it secret." Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Chumo.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Cheng Chumo agreed and got up to leave.

Qin Huaidao looked at Wei Chi Baolin and admonished: "The brothers are all thin, and their nutrition can't keep up, starting tomorrow three times a day, they must have meat to raise their bodies, of course, training can't be stopped, the enemies they will face in the future are all extremely vicious outlaws, and they can't do it without combat effectiveness." ”

Yu Chi Baolin hesitated for a moment, but still said: "However, the 10,000 taels of silver promised by the saint, the household department only allocated 5,000 taels, saying that the household department has no silver. ”

"Five thousand taels?" Qin Huaidao's eyes were cold, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Chi Baolin said helplessly: "The household department needs to sign a document to allocate money, the document says 10,000 taels, and the actual return is 9,000 taels, if you are not there, how dare I and Chu Mo sign this kind of document, so it will be delayed." ”

"10,000 taels for 9,000 taels, it's dark enough."

"It's not, generally speaking, it's almost one hundred and eighty taels, it's all unspoken rules, one thousand taels is what the people in the household department clearly said when they received the silver last time, if you don't give it, you won't let you sign it, let's arrest Cui Shihai, and Cui Renshi in the household department can make us feel better? I suspect that the next 5,000 taels may not be able to get it. ”

"Aren't you afraid that we'll sue the saint?" Qin Huaidao asked curiously.

"They are not afraid of complaints, what can the saint do if there is no money for the time being? Audit? A check can drag on for half a year, and there are even countless excuses for us not to get the back money. ”

"Come with me to the household department tomorrow." Qin Huai was happy, he was worried that he had no excuse to be lazy, and he didn't have any money, so he could pick a child in the bright light.

Yu Chi Baolin reminded: "Don't mess around, this is an unspoken rule, all yamen choose to compromise, we can't jump out, getting the silver is the right way, there is no back five thousand taels, the brothers are all problems eating, just endure it, and have the opportunity to get out of this breath again." ”

"We'll talk about that tomorrow." Qin Huaidao interrupted and asked some about the current situation of the Supervision Mansion.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Chumo brought Cui Shihai's wife and son over, Qin Huaidao didn't ask much, and directly sent them to the backyard wing, and didn't care what they talked about.

An hour later, Cui Shihai's family was sent away, and Qin Huaidao came to the wing room and said: "It's a person who cares about his family, the transaction is over, I will send you to the Criminal Department tomorrow, and be a good person in the next life." ”

"Master Xie." Cui Shihai saluted gratefully, and the whole person looked much more relaxed.

Qin Huaidao walked to the door and suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Let's make another deal?" ”

Cui Shihai smiled bitterly: "The adult is a credible person, and he is willing to do so, but unfortunately there are no bargaining chips." ”

"How about going to Khitan?"

Qin Huaidao said, his eyes flashing with wisdom.
