It was four o'clock in the morning.

These people were taken to the ship, not only did Zhao Han get up early, but the secretaries and celebrities in the next cabin also woke up one after another.

"Meet Zhao Tianwang (Master Zhao, Brother Han, Mr. Zhao)!"

A variety of names came out of the mouths of the servants, and they began to kneel in unison.

Zhao Han smiled and said: "If someone calls me Brother Han, then don't see outside, stand up and speak." ”

Some people stand up, some people kneel, some people stand up and look left and right and want to kneel.

"Stand up!" Zhao Han shouted.

The kneeling man was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up.

The man who was standing was so frightened that he knelt down.

The two guards standing guard beside Zhao Han all bit their lipes and smiled.

When everyone stood up, Zhao Han shouted outside again: "You guys should also come in and listen." ”

Secretaries and Baume & Mercier streamed in.

Zhao Han said: "Choose a representative to speak, don't gossip. ”

Fei Gu was elected as a representative, and he did not directly complain about his grievances, but said almost simply: "Brother Han, I am Fei Gu, do you remember me?" ”

"Hello Brother Feigu, let's talk about something." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Fei Gu was very happy and said, "Brother Han sent people back to Goose Lake to divide the fields and release the house slaves, which is a great thing. My family has also divided the land, and life is at its best. But after last autumn's harvest, Madame ......"

"Which lady?" Zhao Han interrupted.

"It's the second young grandmother in the past," Fei Gu explained, "The second young grandmother is very mean, and Brother Han knows it, and often beats and scolds people." After the release of the slaves, no one wanted to stay as a servant. After the slave was released, the second young grandmother hired more than 30 servants one after another, all of whom were beaten away by her. She also took the employment deed to report to the official, saying that the employment period had not been completed, and that the fleeing maid would lose money. ”

Zhao Han asked: "Is it in the county or the town to report to the official, what is the result?" ”

Fei Gu replied: "It's all mediated by the town, and the mayor of the town is biased to help the second young grandmother." Those servants would rather borrow money to compensate than do it any longer. The second young grandmother couldn't recruit a servant, so she took four evil slaves and summoned us house slaves back with sticks. ”

"The village chief doesn't care?" Zhao Han asked.

"It doesn't matter," Fei Gu said, "If you talk about wages, the second young grandmother gives it enough, and she doesn't deduct it anymore after the separation, she just likes to beat and scold her subordinates indiscriminately." No matter if she did something wrong or not, she would beat someone up when she was in a bad mood. Last winter, Fei Liang was beaten with a pregnant leg, and it took more than a month to go to the ground, and he had the courage to go to the town to report to the official. The mayor didn't care at all, and sent someone to report to the second young grandmother. The second young grandmother beat Fei Liang again, and the beating was so fierce that everyone was wasted, so she carried it back to Fei Liang's own house, and only gave one or two silver for the decoction and medicine. ”

"Where's Fei Liang?" Zhao Han frowned.

Fei Gu said: "I died, I died after lying in my house for half a month." Fei Liang's father and mother went to report to the official, and the county magistrate said that the human and material evidence was insufficient, and sentenced Fei Liang to die after falling and being injured. ”

Zhao Han asked the other servants, "What Fei Gu said is the truth?" ”

"It's all true!" The crowd chimed in.

A maid named Xilan stood up, pulled up her sleeves and said, "I was beaten yesterday, and my arms were bruised. ”

Zhao Han said to the captain of the guard: "Order, the Guangxin prefect and the Guangxin Mansion who are in charge of the criminal law are also known." There are also the magistrates of Leadshan County, the chief of the Criminal Section of Leadshan County, the mayor of Ehu Town, the deputy mayor, and the head of Eshan Village! ”

The captain of the guard immediately went to arrange it, and soon brought back two people.

The magistrate of Leadshan County and the head of the Criminal Section were waiting on the shore, and other officials of Leadshan County were also there, so they came by boat at night to listen to it.

Zhao Han briefly described the case and asked, "That's how you judged the case?" ”

Feng Shenglun, the magistrate of the county, was so frightened that his forehead sweated, and explained: "Zongzhen, I was transferred to the magistrate of Leadshan County two months ago, and I have not touched this case, and no one has come to sue Mrs. Fei. It turned out that the magistrate, who heard that he had outstanding political achievements, was called to Bailuzhou Academy for further study, and this time he was going to go to Hunan with the army. ”

"Very good, very high, outstanding political achievements, and promoted!" Zhao Han smiled, and those who were familiar with him knew that he was already angry.

Every time they prepare for a big battle, they will select outstanding officials in advance, let them go out with the army after further training, and be responsible for managing the grain transportation of people full-time. Once the new territory is occupied, the civil affairs can be taken care of immediately, and the whole process will be seamless, and only if the expansion is too fast will there be a temporary shortage of officials.

Zhao Han asked again: "What about the chief of the criminal department?" ”

Feng Shenglun said: "I also went out with the army, the chiefs of the various sections of the county government, and two of them will be promoted to other places this year." ”

Zhao Han said to the two unlucky people in front of him: "You two, you will be punished with a big demerit!" ”

The magistrate of Leadshan County and the head of the Criminal Section, who wanted to speak and stopped, did not dare to say more after all, so he could only consider himself unlucky.

The sky is getting white.

Many of the local gentry stood on the shore and waited, bringing all kinds of gifts to pay their respects.

"Everyone, please get on board." A personal guard came to give the order.

The gentry were overjoyed and asked Fei Yuanyi to go ahead.

The old man of the Fei family was quite proud, holding his head high with a crutch, and was helped to board the boat.

There was another bunch of people crammed in, and the cabin was quite crowded.

Fei Yuanyi had already fallen out with his two sons, and he didn't usually get along, and he didn't even recognize those servants of the Fei family.

"Meet the Town!" Fei Yuanyi trembled and was about to kneel.

He still has that kind of traditional thinking, thinking that Zhao Han can be the emperor in the future. Since he is the emperor, he should bow down, and it has nothing to do with the identity of his son-in-law.

"Meet the Town!"

The other gentry also bowed.

They couldn't help but peek at Zhao Han, the more they looked at it, the more majestic and solemn they felt, and they envied Fei Yuanyi's good luck in their hearts.

Zhao Han sneered and said, "Mr. Wuxue, please get up and take a seat." ”

Fei Yuanlu, the patriarch of the Fei clan and the head of Hanzhu Academy, stood up with a smile on his face. He admired this student back then, even if he was just a house slave, he thought that he would definitely have a future in the future, but he didn't expect it to be more powerful than he imagined.

Although he did not personally teach knowledge, as the principal, he was also a teacher, and the honorific title of "Emperor Teacher" was indispensable.

The guards brought a chair and asked Fei Yuanlu to sit down.

Fei Yuanlu's buttocks were just next to the bench, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why is it that only himself is seated, and the other gentry are kneeling all the time?

Fei Yuanyi was also a little confused, is his grandson-in-law still holding grudges?

The other gentry looked at each other, also not understanding what the situation was.

Zhao Han didn't pay attention to these people at all, and just chatted with Fei Yuanlu: "I haven't seen you for many years, is Mr. in good health?" ”

Fei Yuanlu stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "Thanks to the blessing of the general town, I only occasionally get a little sick." ”

"Is there a middle school in Leadshan County?" Zhao Han asked again.

Fei Yuanlu said: "I have invited a talented person who is proficient in mathematics and geometry, and I will be able to run a middle school next month, thanks to Feng Zhixian's hard work." ”

Feng Shenglun arched his hand and said: "Where, where, it's just a matter of duty." ”

Fei Yuanlu also said: "Hanzhu Academy has also been changed to Hanzhu Primary School. All the buildings and books of the academy were donated to the Yamen of Hekou Town, and children in the vicinity could study for free for three years. ”

"Very good," Zhao Han nodded in approval, and suddenly asked, "The servants of the Fei family have all been released, right?" ”

Fei Yuanlu said: "They have all been released, and those who are willing to stay have also changed their employment deeds." ”

Zhao Han continued to ask: "Is there any wanton beating of the servant?" ”

"No way," Fei Yuanlu hurriedly said, "I don't know about other families, in the old man's house, even before the slaves are released, they will not wantonly beat the house slaves." Even if a house slave does something wrong, it is mainly a reprimand, and it is not a gentleman's act to beat the person. ”

Zhao Han smiled and asked, "What about the other branches of the Fei clan?" ”

Fei Yuanlu shook his head and said, "I don't know, although the old man is the patriarch, he can't take care of other people's family affairs. ”

Zhao Han set his eyes on Fei Yuanyi: "What about Mrs. Fei's family?" ”

Fei Yuanlu naturally knew the temper of his second daughter-in-law, and he had also heard some rumors, so he hurriedly replied: "Back to the important town, the old man gave birth to two unfilial sons, who have separated from the family and property, and rarely come and go. In the old house, there is no abuse of servants. As for the two unfilial sons, the old man doesn't know the details. ”

"Rise up, everybody." Zhao Han smiled.

"Mr. Xie!"

The gentry kowtowed and stood up.

Most of these are elderly, only Fei Yingke, who was allowed to board the ship at a young age.

Fei Yingke's face was expressionless, and he already knew it in his heart. He recognized one of the servants, and knew that the second brother was miserable this time, and felt that he deserved it.

To this day, Fei Yingke can't understand why the second brother can endure a wicked woman for many years.

If it were him, he would have divorced his wife a long time ago.

A good woman should be loved more, and a bad woman should be cleaned up, this is Fei Yingke's attitude towards women.

This product is not good at reading, nor is it good at doing business, but there is a set of femdom women.

There are one wife and ten concubines in the family, and it is inevitable that there are a few who are not long-eyed, and they have all been cleaned up by Fei Yingke. And those who are well-behaved and obedient, Fei Yingke is extremely considerate, and the wives and concubines have become gentle and well-behaved, at least on the surface, they can get along in harmony.

The march is out, and it cannot be delayed because of this matter.

After Zhao Han appeased the gentry, he said to Feng Shenglun, the magistrate: "You are responsible for hearing this case, and if you handle it properly, you can cancel the punishment of recording a major demerit." Just on this shore, there is no need to go back to the county office. Wait for the prefect of Guangxin to come, let him watch you try the case! ”

He also said to the servants of the Fei family: "In the future, if anyone dares to retaliate, and the local officials ignore it, you will go directly to the Ji'an General Military Mansion to complain about injustice!" ”

The people were asked to disembark, and the fleet set sail with the army.

An official collapsed on the shore, he was the mayor of Goose Lake. At the time of the case, he was only the deputy mayor of the town, but he was also involved.

As for the original mayor, he also went out with the army this time, and he was soon promoted in another place, and he was temporarily assigned to Fei Ruhe's army.

None of the officials involved could escape.

Even the officials who handled the matter were to be questioned and punished.

The county magistrate Feng Shenglun was still guessing Zhao Han's thoughts, and the punishment was too light or too heavy, which might cause Zhao Han's unhappiness.

It's really hard.

Feng Shenglun looked at those servants, gritted his teeth fiercely, and decided to settle the case again this time.

Feng Shenglun shouted: "Come on, immediately arrest Fei Yingxi, the Zheng family, and the four evil slaves under them!" ”

The prefect of Guangxin had arrived at this time, and he watched the fleet go away and was confused. Zhao Han urgently summoned him and left without meeting, what is the situation?

This guy is really unlucky, something happened in the county, he didn't know at all, but he had to be held accountable at this time.
