Li Qiufeng said: "Lord Han, if you are judged by your official rank, I shouldn't have been so disrespectful in front of adults. It's just that I went to Xiuwu County this time to handle the case on the orders of Lord Yang in the middle of the Yang Zhen, commanded by Jinyiwei. Lord Yang said that if the officials in Henan abide by the law and do not obstruct our case, we should be respectful and courteous. If they are acting as a prestige, deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and trying to do anything out of it, then we don't have to be polite. Lord Han, you are Luoyang's parent official, and your position is much higher than mine. But we still have Lord Yang above, and Lord Yang is the current emperor above. If I bow down and grovel in front of you, it will not be my face, but a shame on Lord Yang. Lord Yang doesn't look good on his face, but I'm afraid of ......"

When Li Qiufeng said this, he deliberately muttered and didn't say anything, and his eyes only swirled on Han Qusi. Although Han Qusi knew that eight out of ten of Li Qiufeng's words were threatening him, as long as one of them was true, if he had a hard fight with him, the situation would be very bad. It was he who nodded hurriedly and said, "Li Baihu is right. It should be so, it should be so. ”

Li Qiufeng's rhetoric was naturally not said by Yang Zhenzhong, but he learned it from his colleagues in Jinyiwei. At this time, seeing that Han Qusi was frustrated by himself, he did not put the prefect's shelf in front of him, but he was not embarrassed, so he stood up, personally moved a chair and put it in front of Han Qusi, and said to Han Qusi: "Lord Han, please take a seat." “

Han Qusi sat down with a pinch, and was about to speak, when he suddenly remembered that Cui Yanshou was still standing aside. He turned his head, immediately changed his majestic face, and said to Cui Yanshou: "Master Cui, I have something to say to Li Baihu, you should go out quickly." ”

Cui Yanshou was nervous to himself, and he just wanted to leave here a moment earlier. But Li Qiufeng and Han Qusi didn't speak, so he naturally didn't dare to sneak away. When I didn't know what to do, when I heard Han Qusi say this, I was in the arms of Cui Yanshou. I saw him hurriedly bow down and salute, turn around and go out of the house. Fan Tong, who was guarding the door, saw Cui Yanshou running out as if he was running for his life, looked inside the house, and saw that Li Qiufeng and Han Qusi were talking, so he closed the door gently.

Yu Fan and the others stood in the courtyard, everyone had something on their minds and wanted to leave, but Han Qusi didn't come out, but no one dared to leave. The men froze in the courtyard one by one, looking rather strange.

After the door of the house was closed, Han Qusi said to Li Qiufeng: "The Luoyang Prefect's Yamen has not received the letter from the Criminal Department, and I don't know that Li Baihu has come to our Luoyang to handle the case, and there is a lot of negligence, so please forgive Li Baihu." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "This is easy to say. Governor Han, to tell you the truth, this case is a big case personally grasped by Lord Yang, and his old man has already arrived in Henan. ”

Han Qusi was taken aback and said, "Lord Yang is also here?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said, "Governor Han doesn't need to panic. This case is related to the Japanese Invaders, in order not to startle the snake, Lord Yang ordered us to investigate in private, and naturally will not write to the Yamen of the Governor of Henan and the Yamen of the Prefect of Luoyang. If you really opened the gate and set off the cannon and greeted Lord Yang with great fanfare, you would be guilty. ”

Han Qusi was originally quite uneasy, for fear that Yang Zhenzhong led Jinyiwei to Henan to handle the case related to Fengmen Village. When he heard that Yang Zhenzhong came to Henan for the sake of the Japanese Invaders, he put his heart down immediately. It's just that he still made a look of surprise on his face, and said: "The Japanese are only invading the people along the southeast coast, and our Henan is the boundary of the Central Plains, how dare the Japanese invade here?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said, "The Japanese are scheming, and they have long been eyeing my Ming Dynasty. Li went to Xiuwu County this time to find out whether there were traces of the Japanese here. Your brother is Luoyang's parent official, if you don't help us Jinyiwei investigate the case, but you will be in the way everywhere, I'm afraid that something will happen, and my brother will not be able to explain?"

Han Qusi was startled, hurriedly stood up, and said, "This, where did this come from? The prefect's yamen really didn't receive the document, and I didn't know that the would-be would-be wouldn't have come to us to do something. Li Baihu, since you are going to Luoyang to handle the case, no matter if you want someone or silver, just open your mouth. Our Luoyang prefect's yamen will definitely do our best to help, and we will definitely not get in the way. ”

Li Qiufeng pressed Han Qusi to the chair, and then said, "Brother, I'm in a hurry, haven't I finished saying this yet." To tell you the truth, I have been in Xiuwu County for more than a month, and I have not found the whereabouts of the Japanese invaders. Lord Huang, the magistrate of Xiuwu County, has a very good official reputation, and he is indeed a capable official. ”

When Li Qiufeng said this, he deliberately paused slightly. Although he didn't go out to handle cases like the people in Jinyi Weibei Town, he had already seen a lot of the style of Jinyiwei's colleagues and officials, and this appearance was very similar. Han Qusi saw that Li Qiufeng suddenly stopped at a critical juncture, and he really looked like an official in the officialdom, and he no longer doubted his identity in his heart.

Li Qiufeng saw that Han Qusi looked nervous, and knew that this person no longer doubted himself, so he continued: "However, some of the small officials under Lord Huang are some powerful and bully. If you don't say anything else, let's just talk about the county man surnamed Yu in the courtyard. And his servants dared to run rampant in the city, beating and reviling the people. Early this morning, this man broke in and asked me to leave the temple. I retorted a few words, and this person dared to say that although this temple was the property of the Yamen, it was up to him to decide. Lord Han, a servant dares to be so arrogant, which shows how rampant his master is. I'm afraid this is extremely unfavorable to the official reputation of Lord Huang and Lord Han. ”

Han Qusi has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, how could he not know about Li Qiufeng's tricks? He had only been in Xiuwu County for a few days, and he had no friendship with Yu Fan. However, I also heard Huang Chong praise this person for being steady and a capable official. Because Liang Huan wanted the Lantern Festival to start early, as the most lively City God Temple in Xiuwu County, it was natural to ensure that it was safe and sound. It is to clean up the idle people, etc., which is a must do for the county yamen. This brocade guard settled in the temple, and Yu Fan and the others didn't know his identity, and when they came to drive him away, there was a verbal collision, but it was also an ordinary thing. Li Qiufeng accused Yu Fan of being "rampant" at this time, and naturally wanted to announce his personal vendetta.

It's just that although Han Qusi guessed that Li Qiufeng was going to harm Yu Fan, he didn't dare to refute it openly, so he had to nod and say, "Li Baihu is right." After I went back, I immediately consulted with Lord Huang to see if this person had any other bad deeds. If this person is really as Lord Li said, he will naturally be dismissed from his post and questioned in order to appease the anger of the people. ”

Li Qiufeng listened to Han Qusi's words, but he also admired his shrewdness, and immediately nodded, and then continued: "I'm used to living in this City God Temple, and I don't want to move elsewhere. After Lord Han goes out, can you be accommodating with that county lord and leave me a place to stay?"

Han Qusi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Li Baihu laughed. You live here, who dares to disturb you if you have eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard? You can rest assured that you will live here, and I will take care of the rest. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "Then I'll thank Master Han a lot." In addition, I was ordered to come here to investigate the case, which is a confidential matter. If it weren't for the fact that the surname Yu was too compelling today, I wouldn't want to reveal my identity. Because of this, Lord Han should keep it a lot of secrets and not leak it to outsiders. ”

Han Qusi thought to himself, you sit here and shout five and six, and let the dignified Luoyang prefect enter the house to meet you, how can those people in the yamen in the courtyard not know that you are Jinyiwei? At this time, he said that he didn't want to reveal his identity, but he was just pretending.

It's just that although Han Qusi thought so in his heart, his expression was calm as usual, and he said: "Li Baihu can rest assured, I will naturally order the people who come from the prefect's yamen not to reveal Li Baihu's identity." ”

Han Qusi said this very well. He only said "the people from the prefect's yamen", but he didn't mention the tolerance of the magistrate's yamen of Xiuwu County, as well as the people of Tianlongmen, which implied that Li Qiufeng would not be concerned about the Luoyang prefect's yamen.

Li Qiufeng naturally knew what Han Qusi meant, but he didn't want to entangle with him too much, so he said, "This is the best." Lord Han is busy with official business, so please go back first. I don't have anything to do here, and if I have a place to turn to an adult, I'll naturally go and meet them. ”
