Chapter 216 Blank Subpoena

The second son of the Zhang family had already found out what the new inspectors of the Marine Inspection Department came up with. He had been worried these days, for fear that Han Xiufeng would sue the vassal department when he saw that his father was not only old but also sick, and that if the Lord of the vassal department had known that his father could not handle the matter at all, he would report to the vassal department.

Zhang Guangcheng never expected Han Xiu Summit to be so reasonable. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked his family to send his father into the inner house. Then he said embarrassedly: "Master Han, please use tea."

"You don't need to be polite to your own people." Han Xiufeng greeted him and smiled, "Brother Zhang, I'm just here for the first time. Please take care of you in the future."

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Guangcheng bowed and replied with a bow, then asked with a smile: "Master Han, my father received the official document you were going to come to Taizhou a few days ago. As a result, you waited for you to take office today. Did you delay the road?"

"It's true that Xiufeng was in the capital and was taken care of by Lord Wu Wenxi, the Sichuan salt tea ceremony. Now, he is just right to select the Hai'an Inspection Department under Lord Lingzun, and is about to come to Taizhou to take office. Naturally, he has to go to Yizhen Wu's house to pay homage to the two old men."

"Wu Daotai, Sichuan salt tea ceremony, is the younger brother of Wu Wenrong, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wu Zhongtang?"

"That's right," Han Xiufeng smiled and added: "But Wu Zhongtang is no longer the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, but the Governor of Huguang."

"The news is blocked, if Mr. Han hadn't said it would have been clear."

Han Xiufeng saw that the big and small things in Taizhou were the final decisions of the person in front of him, and did not want to circle him again. He said bluntly: "Brother Zhang, although I am the first in office, I still know some of the rules of the yamen. Please rest assured that I will never cause trouble for Lingzun after taking office."

Zhang Guangcheng is a smart person, how could he not hear Han Xiufeng’s implicit meaning? He couldn’t help but ask with a smile: “Mr. Han is so serious. I wonder if Mr. Han plans to go to Hai'an to take office today or tomorrow?”

"As the saying goes, one official will benefit the people. As a inspector, I must ensure safety. Before coming to the prefecture, I just sent my family to the blacksmith shop to create fifty pairs of handcuffs and shackles. When will the blacksmith make the handcuffs and shackles? When will the blacksmith make the handcuffs and shackles? When will I go to Hai'an to take office?"

Create fifty pairs of handcuffs and shackles!

I have to bring fifty pairs of handcuffs and shackles to Hai'an to take office!

Zhang Guangcheng was shocked and stared at Han Xiufeng and asked, "Master Han, why are you doing so many handcuffs and shackles? Besides, you really need to use handcuffs and shackles, so you can send someone to the state yamen to get it."

"Do you have fifty deputy in the state yamen?"

"I really don't know this, but it doesn't seem to be that much."

"That's it. There are not so many state yamen. Besides, the handcuffs and shackles of the state yamen are useful for the state yamen. Hai'an is not close to the city of state. It's better to create more places to take Hai'an to save the number of people from the state yamen and delay the main business."

"But are there so many criminals in Hai'an?"

"I just arrived in Taizhou, but I don't know if there are so many. Even if there aren't, it's nothing. It's just fifty pairs of handcuffs and shackles, which can't cost much money."

Zhang Guangcheng thought that he must be young and energetic in front of him, and planned to take office as a new official for three reasons. He thought that no matter how hard he tried, he could only spend acre of three-point land in Hai'an. He pondered: "Since Mr. Han has sent someone to find a blacksmith to build it, let the blacksmith build it, be prepared for any trouble."

"I think so too, my brother." Han Xiufeng nodded with a smile.

"Master Han, the father who is currently in charge of Hai'an inspection has sent someone to inform you. As soon as you arrive in Hai'an, he will hand over it to you. Apart from that, do you have any other needs?"

"Since Brother Zhang asked, I won't be polite to Brother Zhang. I want to borrow a set of state academies, but I don't know if the state yamen is there."

"Yes, and it was built in the seventh year of Daoguang. Unlike other prefectures and counties, I will ask my family to get it for you later."

"Thank you." Han Xiufeng saw that the second son of the Zhang family wanted him to go to Hai'an early, and thought he was in the eyes of staying in the city of the state. He struck while the iron was hot, "Brother Zhang, although I haven't been to Hai'an, I heard that Hai'an is 120 miles away from the city of the state. If I really encounter something, I will report to Lingzun to at least one day, but I can't wait for this job. I don't know if Brother Zhang can give me a few blank summons so that I can fill it in when I get urgent."

Zhang Guangcheng dared not give the summons randomly, pretending to be puzzled and said, "Master Han, you are the Hai'an inspector. If there are thieves and thieves under your jurisdiction, you can just take the Zao Li bowmen to lock them up and get them. After you get them, you will send them to the state yamen. There is no need to summon them."

"What if the bandits run to Fu'an, Anfeng, Jiaoxie and go to the salt field? What if the bandits run to Rugao, what if the bandits go to Dongtai? Brother Zhang, although the inspector is a civil servant, the inspection is actually similar to that of the military officer. The focus is on speed. It takes one day to send someone to the prefecture and report it to the state office, and it takes another one day to get the summons issued by Lord Lingzun. The bandits have run away without a trace in the past two days. After all, Hai'an is under the jurisdiction of Taizhou. Hai'an really has a life-threatening thief but cannot catch criminals. I can't resist the blame. Lord Lingzun can't pass the road and even the vassal tyrants!"

It sounded like something was right, but Zhang Guangcheng didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Han Xiufeng took a sip of tea and looked at him with a smile and said, "There are only two things, no, this one is left. Brother Zhang, when will I get the summons and go to Hai'an to take office?"

Zhang Guangcheng received news in the morning that Yizhen magistrate Du Shisen acted recklessly because of smoking opium. He collected grain and consumed more food during the reign of Liuhe and Yizhen. He was sued by anyone to the Huaiyang Road Yamen far away in Qingjiangpu. He was dismissed from office yesterday morning. Although his father did not smoke opium, he still did a lot of food and consumption, not to mention that he was too ill to be in charge of the director. If he was accused of going to the Huaiyang Road Yamen and even the governor's yamen in Jiangning, he would be dismissed from office yesterday morning.

Thinking of the person in front of me who is very big and can really talk to the vassal state, I could only ask with a stern tongue: "Master Han, are the five blanks enough?"

"Not enough, you'll have to get ten."

"Okay, ten are only ten, please use it with caution by Mr. Han."

“This is nature.”

Zhang Guangcheng was worried that there were too many dreams at night, so he really didn't want Han Xiufeng to stay in Taizhou City for a long time. He thought about it and said, "Master Han, which blacksmith shop did you send your family to? Or I would send someone to help you urge them and let the blacksmiths get faster. If you can't build a blacksmith shop, you can find a few more blacksmiths. Your new official takes office, and your time is precious."

"I asked my family to look for it. I really don't know which blacksmith shop it was."

"I don't know it's okay. The city is so big. Guangcheng just asks you to ask." Zhang Guangcheng stood up and smiled, then turned around and said, "Master Han, the matter has been finished. Please be sure to appreciate the glory. Rong Guangcheng will welcome you on behalf of his father."
