Tomorrow is the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the yamen will seal it tomorrow.

Chu Chenggui and others were looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waiting for this day. They all thought that as long as they survive today, they would be able to rest for a month. If the new inspector was not easy to serve, it would be a matter of the New Year.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the yamen, he was summoned to the lobby.

The new inspector sat in the hall, and the old guy named Yu and the big guy named Yuan held Yanxiang's knife in his hand, and the other was carrying Yanxiang's knife in his hand, leaning on the water and fire sticks, standing left and right like a door god. The family surnamed Pan and the boy named Zhang stood on both sides of the case, with Baojia's book and a bunch of official documents on the case.

The inspection department is not a state yamen, and even the state yamen is not promoted to the hall every day. The atmosphere is particularly strange, and Chu Chenggui and others can't help but feel a little nervous.

"Chu Chenggui, Jiang Huai, I will ask you something."

"Mr. Han asked, the young man reported it according to the truth."

"You two are the main players in my inspection office. I would like to ask how many helpers you have?"

Chu Chenggui didn't expect Han Xiufeng to ask this, and peeked at Yu Youfu and his big and thick head standing on both sides. He didn't dare to lie, so he could only say, "Master Han, the young man has a few young and strong men who are idle, but they are really just idle. When the yamen is too busy, he will call them."

Han Xiufeng asked, "How many?"

"Seven, no, eight, a total of eight."

"Jiang Huai, where are you?"

Jiang Huai was startled and hurriedly said, "Report to Mr. Han, there are nine subordinates."

Han Xiufeng's face darkened, stared at them and said coldly: "On the way to take office, a gentry came to sue, saying that the two were in the inspector's office, but there were more than a dozen people who helped me, all of them were in vain. They were all small matters, and they involved several people. They used a big iron lock to tie their necks. They could not get rid of them if they had to pay more than ten pieces of money. The fox pretended to be a tiger's power, ran around the countryside, extorted and meated the people! Chu Chenggui, Jiang Huai, do you two know the crime?"

When someone sued, it was the gentry who sued him.

Chu Chenggui was scared and sweated coldly. He knelt in front of the hall with a loud noise, shouting with a sad face: "Master Han, it's unfair! The little one called for help all for the sake of the trouble. At most, he would have to pay for shoes, socks and food and money. There was no extortion, and there was no fish and meat for the people."

"Master Han, I am a local, how can I do that unscrupulous thing? The conscience of heaven and earth, I am really wronged!" Jiang Huai was also frightened and knelt down with a thud.

"There is no wind and waves. Will the gentry under my authority be wronged?"

"Master Han, I had no choice but to have two of us in the yamen..."

"Also quibble!"

"The young one knows the guilt, and the young one knows the guilt. The young one will never dare to do it again. Please ask Mr. Han to give up his hands and let the young one go."

"Get up, two big men are crying and are not afraid of being laughed at." Han Xiufeng snorted coldly, then changed his subject: "You will hear it clearly for me. I can tell you about the past. I will not blame you for not committing it again in the future. If you dare to commit it again, don't blame me for showing mercy!"

"Yes, the young man will never dare to do it anymore. Mr. Xie Han is proud of his efforts."

"Okay, OK, wipe your tears."

"yes."

Han Xiufeng looked at them, then looked up at the frightened archers behind them, and said earnestly: "I know that you have your difficulties. Working in the yamen seems to be glorious, but only a little work-and-food and silver a year. How can I support my family if I don't have some bad rules? But a gentleman loves money and gets it well. He can't just ask for money as long as he has the opportunity. You also know that you are locals and fellow villagers. If you look up and see them, don't you be afraid of being stabbed in the back?"

"Master Han, little..."

"I will finish my words." Han Xiufeng cleared his throat and continued: "As an official, he will benefit the people. As long as I stay in Hai'an for one day, I will not let you roam the people in the countryside under the guise of my official. But I can also sympathize with your difficulties. As long as you abide by the rules, I will not treat you badly, and I will not let your family go hungry."

"Thank you Mr. Han to be considerate."

"Master Han, you are abiding by the rules. What do you say and what we do?"

"Okay, there are just a few errands today," Han Xiufeng looked down at the list of rosters and Baojia, then looked up and said, "Chu Chenggui, Chen Jingjun from the town, Ding Lianqun, Chen Qingyu from Jiaogang, and Li Hai from Gao Xiaozhuang, you must have heard of it. I will follow my official to lock these six people later!"

As soon as you take office, you have to take people, and you have four.

Everyone in the hall was secretly frightened. Just as he didn't know what to say, Han Xiufeng continued: "Chu Chenggui, Jiang Huai, you don't have a dozen idle gangs of white servants under you, you will be shouting all of them later. You can't ask for the cost of shoes, socks and wine and meals, but the yamen will take care of the food. The official has sent someone to buy sesame cakes and bring them to make dry food later."

Chu Chenggui thought Han Xiufeng was testing him, so he hurriedly said, "Master Han, it's enough to have these six people with us, there's no need to call people anymore, right?"

"Who said that you only take these six?"

Han Xiufeng picked up the list compiled by Su Jueming and said lightly: "Jiang Huai, bring two archers and call two idle white soldiers. I will go with Pan Changsheng to lock up Chen Hu, Chen Biao brothers, and Wang Ertou from Benjiaji!"

They are all rascals who are idle and have nothing to do. Chu Chenggui and others finally understand why the new inspector brought so many torture instruments to take office, and why they freed up the six houses outside as a class room as soon as they took office.

What shocked them even more was that Han Xiufeng looked up at the bowman and said, "Wei Yong, you live in Hujiaji and you must be very familiar with Hujiaji. You and Jiang San will call you two Baishou later, and go with Shiheng to lock up the money and wealth of Hujiaji, Gu Tinggui and Ma Guozhong from Majiaqiao! Xu Jianfeng, you will call you two Baishou later, and go with Yuan Datou to lock up the Han Jiayang Han Bingqi, Li Jian from Jiepai, and He Dengyuan from Xujiazhuang.

We divided into four groups, and the town and Hu Jiaji walked, and took the boat from the other two directions. The dry food was ready, and the boat was also found. The shackles and chains were all in the second hall, and the swords, guns and sticks were all in the Curry. Get ready, and then set off! Also, after arriving at the place, please find Baozheng, Chief A, and let Baozheng lead the way. If there is not enough manpower, please ask Baozheng to find a few young and strong people to help."

You have to lock and grab more than a dozen people.

Chu Chenggui was stunned for a while before he recovered. He couldn't help but reminded: "Mr. Han was very careful. None of the people he wanted to lock them up, but... it was just that Chen Jingjun was a little troublesome. His father had fame and his father was the dean of Mingdao Academy."

"The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Not to mention that his father is just a scholar, even if his father is a juren or a Jinshi, he will be arrested as long as he is!"

"Master Han, I know you are selfless, but I really can't go like this. What if President Chen takes care of us and we have to subpoena?"

"Isn't it just a subpoena? I have so many. He really wants it, so I will fill it in front of him!"

Han Xiufeng picked up a stack of blank summons covered with the seal of the magistrate, Liang looked at them, and thought about it and said, "I have prepared thirteen notices. After I get the person, I will post them in the conspicuous place near the prisoner's home. Please keep your mindfulness to the local people. The person has been locked by the official, so that the victims who have suffered a lot will not be afraid. If there is any grievance, come to the yamen to make a fuss. I will definitely make the decision to repay them with justice!"

What a subpoena!

Chu Chenggui and Jiang Huai couldn't believe their own eyes, because the summons were not issued casually. The magistrate was afraid that the people below would use public service to their own affairs, and that the people below would not only not issue the summons easily, but also indicate on the summons who were missing. After getting the person, they would also return the summons to prevent the people below from picking up and scaring the illiterate people.

The new inspection not only had blank summons, but also had a stack of them. Chu Chenggui and others did not dare to be clever and hurriedly bowed to accept the order.

Han Xiufeng bypassed the case and walked out of the hall and said, "There is another thing. After getting the person, I will tell their family members. If they don't have any family members to tell their relatives and friends. The yamen only cares about living and eating, so that their families can remember to send jail meals. If it's too far and inconvenient, they can deliver rice. If they think it's troublesome to deliver rice, they can prepare a month's meal."

A archer couldn't help but say, "Master Han, it's cold and the food is cold when it comes to the yamen. I guess they will send rice and rice money."

"It's okay to send rice or bring rice money. Chu Chenggui, leave this matter to you. Go back and find someone to cook. No matter how much rice or how much rice their family sends, you just need not let them starve to death!"

How could Chu Chenggui not hear Han Xiufeng’s implication? He couldn’t help but remember what Han Xiufeng said before that he would not let them suffer losses, and hurriedly said: “Don’t worry, Mr. Han, if you have a young man, they will definitely not starve to death.”
