Han San was very nervous at first, and as he spoke, he kept turning his head to look at the few overseers standing on the edge of the official road, standing with their hands down, for fear that they would rush up and interrupt him, so he was inevitably a little incoherent.

Fortunately, when he saw those people later, he didn't dare to come, and Xiao Feng had been patiently listening to his own story, which gradually reduced his panic and made his speech more organized.

The villain was blinded at that time, and rushed over with the workers in the same village, and several overseers had already pulled out Boss Han, who was covered in blood on his head and had already lost his breath.

The overseer said that Boss Han was careless in his own work, which caused the trail to collapse, but we all know that Boss Han has excellent skills, how could he make such a mistake?

Han Jiu, the most careful person in the village, discovered the problem, Boss Han's fatal injury was on the back of his head, obviously smashed by something extremely hard, and his skull was smashed.

In that collapsed path, there was only dirt and gravel, how could there be such a big hard object? The overseer said that a large piece of coal had been smashed down from above.

But we are in the coal mine all year round, and the path can only make people stand straight, even if there is coal falling on it, there is no height, how can we smash people like this?

The most terrifying thing is that if you look closely at the shape of the wound, you can vaguely see the traces of the hammer head, but Han Boss's hammer is outside the cave, washed clean by water.

Naturally, my fellow villagers refused to believe the overseer's statement, so they wanted to report to the official, but the overseer said that we were going to rebel and had us arrested. ”

Xiao Feng looked at the mining area next to the official road, there were more than a hundred miners, only four or five overseers, all gathered on the side of the road, and they were stopped by Yu Dayou's personal soldiers and couldn't get over.

"How many overseers? There are a few miners in your village

？ ”

"Lord Hui, there are five supervisors, and there are twenty of us in the same village."

"Twenty of you, arrested by five overseers?"

"Lord Hui, there was originally only one supervisor who was sent from the county seat. There were four remaining overseers, all of whom he had promoted from among the miners.

Many miners wanted to be appreciated by the overseer and promoted to overseer, so they all helped the overseer, and the same was true of the few people who scuffled the villain just now......"

Xiao Feng sighed, sure enough. He once read a book describing that during the Japanese invasion of China, there were only five Japanese soldiers with guns in a certain county, and these five Japanese soldiers actually controlled a county town!

"What happened?"

"Later, we were beaten up and didn't dare to file a lawsuit again. There was a shortage of labor in the mine, so they let us go and continued to work in the mine, but they watched very closely, and the miners they arranged to monitor the miners when they went down to the mine and returned to the shed.

The villain can't leave the mining area and can't enter the county seat, so blocking the road and complaining has become the only way. Fortunately, this is an official road, and from time to time there are official cars passing by, and there are many opportunities......"

Speaking of this, Han San's tears were like rain, choked up and couldn't speak, Xiao Feng sighed secretly in his heart, he had already guessed what was going to happen next.

"My lord, it was Han Jiu who blocked the road for the first time and shouted injustice, but the sedan car didn't even stop, it just passed, Han Jiu was stopped on the side of the road by the servant of the official master, kowtowing and smashing the ground full of blood.

After the official master left, Han Jiu was beaten to death by the overseer with the crowd, and his body was thrown into the charcoal kiln. The overseer also said that whoever dares to block the road and sue again will be a dead end. ”

Xiao Feng said lightly: "You say,

You've two dead? ”

Han San kowtowed repeatedly, and his forehead was soon covered with blood.

"My lord, I am not reconciled, and I heard from the local miners in Gushantun who secretly told us that Boss Han's wife was looking for death and hanged, but fortunately she was rescued.

How could a woman be so fierce that I, as brothers of the same clan, could be indifferent, so it was agreed that when a greater official passed by, another person would cry out for grievances.

As a result, this time, the official stopped the sedan chair, but after listening to the narration, he only said that he would go to negotiate with the local county order, and disappeared.

The brothers who blocked the road and complained were beaten to death by them again, and then we were all sent to the pit far away from the official road.

Originally, the villain and the others were already so distraught that they didn't dare to step forward anymore, and the overseer gradually relaxed his care.

But today, the villain has never seen such a battle team pass by, so he risked his life to try! ”

Xiao Feng's gaze swept to the five overseers who were stopped by Yu Dayou on the side of the road, and nodded: "Let them come over." ”

The overseer took the lead, and the overseers promoted by the four miners were obviously a little timid and slightly behind. The overseer saluted cleanly.

"My lord, the villain is the head catcher of Zaozhuang County, the supervisor of the mining area here, the official road here, there are many officials passing by, I don't know the adult's official secrets, I didn't dare to rush forward to salute, please forgive me."

Xiao Feng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this supervisor was not only neither humble nor arrogant, but also quite disciplined in his conversation, and he was actually the head catcher of the county seat.

"It's a head catcher, why do you work as an overseer here?"

The foreman saluted again: "My lord doesn't know, this Zaozhuang is quite different from other counties

In the same way, the county seat is very small, and the city is very large.

Because the Zaozhuang area mostly depends on coal mines for a living, in fact, a large number of disputes and cases occur in the mining area, but there are few things in the county.

For this reason, most of the county's catchers are scattered in various coal mines to work as supervisors and maintain order, otherwise the county will not know about the dead people in these places, and it will really be beyond the reach of the whip. ”

Xiao Feng looked at the face of the overseer, covered by the wind and sun and coal dust, and he was as dark as a miner, and he was indeed not a pampered person. The four overseers are also in the same way.

"In this way, it is indeed much harder to catch fast in this county than in other places, is it always the case?"

The overseer shook his head and said, "It turns out that this is not the case, it is the rule that this county came to Xinzhi County three years ago and set the rules. Not only is it fast, but sometimes even the canonical history has to come down to inspect.

Although this practice is hard work, it has indeed stabilized the mining area a lot, not only has the output increased significantly, but also the disputes and crimes have been much reduced.

Adults don't know that the mining area is the most prone to accidents. These miners fight and fight on weekdays, gamble and drink, and if there are women, they are even more brave and ruthless, and they abound. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, there is some truth in this, throughout the ages, the various mining areas where men have gathered are indeed wild and wild, and they are outside the law.

"You have heard everything Han San said, what is your defense? This official never listens to one side of the story, so let's say it. ”

Xiao Feng's tone was light, but there was a chill to the bones, this feeling was like Zhang Wuxin's murderous aura, invisible and shadowless, but it could be felt.

The overseer smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, what this person said is half-true and half-false, that Boss Han did collapse when digging the path."

Fang, was hit in the back of the head by a block of coal, and was covered by soil for a long time.

Whether it was suffocated or stoned, no one can tell. These miners from the same village teamed up to ask the villain for compensation, and the villain had already sent the pension money to Boss Han's wife according to the regulations, but where could they have the money to give them again?

They went around suing the officials, saying that Boss Han had been killed. My lord, in this mining area, he is a miner, I am an overseer, and everyone eats according to their strength.

I have no enmity against him, so why should I kill him? He was working by himself that day, and there were no other miners around, so it couldn't be a vendetta for other miners. ”

Xiao Feng frowned and looked at Han San, who kowtowed repeatedly, extremely sad and angry.

"My lord, if that's the case, why did he let people throw Boss Han's body into the charcoal kiln for cremation on the spot, he was clearly destroying the corpse!"

The foreman said angrily: "Han San, you are also an old man in the mine, the dead people in the mine are most afraid of the plague, and most of them are cremated on the spot."

But you framed me with this matter, obviously because you don't understand the things in the mine, and you want to deceive the adult!

If you don't believe it, you can ask the miners on the spot, this kind of thing is not uncommon, what does it have to do with destroying corpses? ”

Xiao Feng looked at the miners, most of them didn't speak, obviously staying out of the matter, staying neutral, and a few nodded and shouted.

"That's true, it's the miners of Hanjia Village who are scoundrels!"

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment: "If Boss Han did die by accident, you cremated the body without the consent of your family, although you are at fault, there are still extenuating circumstances."

But how did the two people who blocked the road and sue behind them die, is what Han San said the truth?

Also, when Han San blocked the road and complained, you said that he had stayed underground for too long and went crazy, which was blatantly right

The official is lying, how can he explain it? ”

This matter is very crucial, and it is also an important basis for judging which of the two sides is telling the truth. Mistakes cannot always be made, and the mistakes that are always made are not faults, but sins.

The overseer shook his head again and again: "My lord, it's wronged, the miners in Hanjia Village saw that the trouble failed, so they shouted to sue."

It's not that the villain doesn't let them go to the county, but they sign a contract until the end of the year, and this is the busiest time for mine production.

The mine has always been extremely chaotic, if they are allowed to make trouble, the mine will be abandoned in the future, and there is no way to manage it anymore, so the villain let people beat them to set an example, but it did not hurt people's lives.

The two people who died, after blocking the road and complaining, the adults passing by felt that the nonsense was nonsense, so they didn't pay attention to it.

But once there was a fuss like this, the work had to be stopped once, and once the work stopped, the miners had no money to take, and the other miners were so angry that they beat up the troublemakers.

The villain was incompetent and failed to stop the group beating in time, and this group of miners killed people without being light or heavy, which is indeed caused by the villain's poor supervision.

The adults blamed for the start of lying, and the villain was worried about this trouble, and today the production will be stopped, and the miners will make trouble and beat people again, my lord is forgiving! ”

Xiao Feng sneered: "I'm afraid it's not that you're incompetent, but that you didn't want to stop it in time at all, right?" ”

The overseer's face turned pale and kowtowed: "The adult's eyes are like torches, the villain is indeed selfish, and he is indeed made by these people. ”

Xiao Feng repeatedly compared the words on both sides, and it was indeed difficult to distinguish who it was

What is said is true, and who says it is false.

If it is a witness, then Hanjia Village is naturally a faction, but more miners are obviously on the side of the overseer.

Although the overseer's behavior is selfish, it is unrealistic to expect him to be a humble gentleman in managing such a large mining area.

Xiao Feng looked at Yu Dayou, and Yu Dayou was also a little confused at this time. What these two people said is reasonable, he has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and although there are many cases of the government bullying and oppressing civilians, he has also seen a lot of troubles caused by Diao people.

"Master, in my opinion, this matter is very complicated and detailed, and Master has a lot of responsibilities on him, so don't be too distracted by this matter. The matter may be referred to the magistrate. ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "It makes sense, so let's take Han San with you, lest he be beaten to death by other miners." The head catcher of the overseer, you assign someone else to watch the mine, go with the team, and go to Zaozhuang County. ”

The foreman hesitated slightly, and said with a wry smile: "The villain obeys the order, wait for the villain to tell a few words, let them not be chaotic, and work hard, but this production cannot be delayed, how many people are waiting for dinner." ”

The head of the overseer turned around, gave detailed instructions to the four overseers, and shouted a few words to the miners, the arrangement was very organized, Xiao Feng nodded slightly, no matter whether it was a good person or a bad person, this person was still capable.

The team moved forward again, and the remaining miners finished their black bread and pickle sticks, and stood up to get ready to work. The four overseers scanned the miners with cold eyes.

"Don't be cheating, work hard! Whoever digs more and does a good job will naturally be rewarded when he comes back! Who dares to make trouble and delay everyone's eating and earning money, whether everyone agrees or not? ”

"No!" One

A deafening shout rang out, and even the team that had walked far away could hear it clearly, and a smile appeared on the corner of the overseer's mouth.

Han San, who was sitting in a car with the overseer who was pulling debris, lowered his head, and the eyes that were originally glaring at the overseer became a little gloomy.

Xiao Feng's forward post has been running non-stop, exploring the terrain and delivering news, so when the large army arrived and rushed to Zaozhuang County, Li Tianyao, the magistrate of Zaozhuang, had already received the news and was waiting at the city gate with a group of people.

Xiao Feng saw that Li Tianyao was in his thirties, although he was wearing the official uniform of the magistrate, but he had a dignified appearance and extraordinary temperament, and he was not inferior to the court officials, so he couldn't help but think to himself, this person is comparable to my brother Qin.

The two sides dismounted to salute, and Nazhi County first saluted the court of the upper and lower officials, and then bowed again, bending lower than the waist just now.

Xiao Feng was surprised: "Guixian has already done a salute just now, and when we meet for the first time, there is no need to be so polite." ”

Li Tianyao said with a smile: "The battle in Qingzhou, the world was shocked, needless to say, the prestige of the adults is far and wide, and the lower officials also learned that Princess Chang'an also traveled with the adults, but this ceremony is indispensable." ”

After the Battle of Qingzhou, although the imperial court still did not publicly announce the whereabouts of Princess Chang'an, folk news often spread faster, so it was not surprising that Li Tianyao knew.

But this kind of thing, the magistrate generally knows and pretends not to know, after all, the princess travels with Xiao Feng, and she is nameless and pointless, which is quite embarrassing to say. At this time, Li's arrival ceremony was even more confusing.

Xiao Fengzheng was unexpectedly when a handsome young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes who was following Li Tianyao suddenly ran towards the big RV, An

Qingyue immediately pressed the handle of the knife with her hand, and her whole body tensed.

"Chang An, Chang An, aren't you afraid of being stuffy in the car? Hurry down, I'll show you the coal spirit! ”
