Chapter 231 Blue Sky
Pan Er was shocked to catch a hundred people. Thinking that the more you catch, the more money you will be, the more you will be, and he couldn't help laughing.
No matter what he thought, Han Xiufeng talked to Li Xiucai about the night after dinner and went back to his room to wash his feet and rest. Li Xiucai didn't expect Han Xiufeng to use him so soon, and it sounded like he was entrusted with an important task, so he agreed when he felt hot.
The next morning, the yamen sealed it.
Han Xiufeng changed into his official uniform, led Chu Chenggui and other Zaoli archers to look at Que and bowed, put the Hai'an Inspection Office seal in front of everyone, and then sent the troops to divide into four groups to pick up the people according to the list compiled by Su Jueming.
In previous years, Chu Chenggui and other Zaoli archers would have found various reasons to be unwilling to do the job. But this year is not the same as before, and this job will not be done in vain. If you use one person to lock it, you can make more money. They don’t care whether there is a seal in the yamen or not, and they set off happily with shackles and chains when they get the list and notice.
To be an official, you must have the authority of the official and you cannot do everything yourself.
Han Xiufeng did not go again, and watched Yu Youfu, Datou, Zhang Shiheng, Chu Chenggui and other Zaoli bowmen, and turned around and smiled, "Mr. Li, Changsheng has nothing to do in the morning, so let him accompany you to Fu'an to borrow his family. Last night, I sent someone to agree with Wang Ruhai of the post shop that his boss had studied cooking in Taizhou for two years and could cook good dishes. How many people could there be in the post shop? In the future, I will ask him to prepare a banquet to greet his sister-in-law and the young master at noon."
"Master Han, why are you so embarrassed?"
"It should be, there are so many official documents that you can't go home. I have to say something if I ask my sister-in-law and the young master to come to the yamen for the New Year."
Before Li Xiucai could speak, Pan Er smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I'll hire the boat as soon as it dawns. We'll set off early. Now we can just hurry back to have lunch."
"Master Han, will you go home to pick up your inner person that night?"
"Go, go early and come back soon."
Li Xiucai didn't know what Han Xiufeng was doing in his gourd, but even when he went back to pick up his wife and children, Pan Er stared at him, which made Li Xiucai realize that Han Xiufeng wanted to use him and guard against him.
But this is not the first time. The inspector three years ago was the same when he first took office. Later, he even asked him to take the bed and leave. In less than a month, he was polite and invited him back.
Li Xiucai made up his mind to pretend that he hadn't guessed anything, but he would just make a fool of himself. After the New Year, he would ask friends to help him. He would make a case and start a magistrate or even the prefect. It was related to the performance evaluation. The magistrate would definitely order the Hai'an Inspection Department to arrest the criminals within the deadline. If you can't catch someone, it depends on what you do when the inspection is done!
Han Xiufeng didn't know what he thought of, but only knew how to prevent fire, theft, as a clerk, so he watched him and Pan Er go back to the inner house to change his clothes, put on the cotton jacket he usually wore, and walked into the second hall to continue reading the state archival.
...
The family of the new inspector and the Zaoli archers from the inspection office came out in full swing, judging from the posture, they wanted to get people. The people in the town had never seen this scene before, and they all ran to watch the excitement. The bold ones ran to the Yimen Gate and peeked in, and the timid gathered at the pawnshop and the cloth shop gate and whispered to each other.
"I just said that Mr. Han is different from Mr. Fang. Mr. Han is really a clean official. He really speaks on the notice and follows the rules!"
"How do you say the Dharma?"
"In the past, they took people with high storage costs, not only for shoes, socks, wine and food, but also for locking and unlocking. Mr. Han did not allow them to ask for money anymore, so they dared not ask for money anymore. My cousin lived in Hujiaji. My cousin said that yesterday they went to get people with no money, but even brought their own dry food."
A vendor stood on tiptoe and looked around and said vividly: "Didn't Chen Youdao's third son be locked up in the class room? Can Chen Youdao have no money? Yesterday I watched him go to the yamen with his own pocket, but Mr. Han didn't even let him in, let alone ask for his money."
"Do you think it's too little?" an old man asked in a divine manner.
"Old man Jiang, where do you want to go? Mr. Han is really not a corrupt official like Mr. Fang," a vegetable vendor squeezed in and said: "In the past, the inspector's family went to the street to buy vegetables, and they all counted as the official price. Mr. Han's family bought vegetables at the market price, and they would cost as much as they should, and they would even be polite in their words."
"real?"
"What did I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go and ask Qian Lame."
"Don't ask Qian Laizi, just ask me." Zhang Gui, who sells sesame cakes, guarded his sesame cake stove and leaned over and said, "The yamen bought all the sesame cakes here in the past two days. I bought seventy of them yesterday, and another seventy in the morning, two cents each, all at the market price. I said I bought so many and gave a few, so do you know what Mr. Han's family said?"
"What did you say?"
"People say it's not easy for me to make some money in small business. I'll do as much as I should, and I won't get any cheaper!"
"Oh, let's say that, Bao Qingtian is really here!"
"This is, otherwise why would you arrest people everywhere as soon as you take office? You should have arrested them long ago. Those guys deserved it to be locked in the class room!"
...
People outside thought that Chen Youdao did not come today, but in fact, Chen Youdao came at dawn and was sitting in the cloth shop waiting for news.
He could hear the neighbors' discussions clearly inside, worried that his son, who had been locked up for a day and a night, was ashamed, so he did not dare to leave the cloth shop and go to the yamen.
Manager Feng knew his feelings at this moment, and while sorting out the cloth that had just entered, he advised: "Director Chen, don't go to heart. What they know, they will know how to gossip!"
"Stop calling the dean, I'm no longer the dean."
"Why can't you shout? Even if you are the dean for one day, you are the dean."
Chen Youdao didn't care what others called him, and said worriedly: "Director Gu said that Mr. Han just didn't let go and insisted on sending my Jingjun to the state yard. He said that he wanted to take a hundred sticks and flow three thousand miles away. It would be fine if he could walk one hundred sticks, but it would be no joke that he would take Jingjun's life, and that would make me give a white-haired guy a black-haired guy a black-haired guy."
After three thousand miles, you either go to a place of smoke or a place of bitter and cold like Ningguta. Not to mention whether you can live to an exile place, even if you have great fortune telling, you will be a cow and a horse for others. You will never think about coming back in this life. It is really worse than death.
Manager Feng thought to himself that you had done something long ago, but he comforted him: "Director Chen, don't worry first. Jing Jun has not been sent to the state yamen yet. Even if he sends it, he has to wait until the seal of the yamen after the New Year. There is a whole month to think about it, think about it carefully, there must be a way."
"He doesn't eat soft and hard food, and doesn't get oil and salt. What can I do?" Chen Youdao clenched his fists tightly, and thought about it and said, "I'll go and ask for a meeting again later. If he doesn't see me again, I will go to Taizhou to pay homage to Xuezheng. Xuezheng helps me plead with the magistrate."
"Don't go!"
"Why can't you go?"
"Director Chen, you have seen the world, and it's not to be confused about Jing Jun's life." Manager Feng put down the cloth and sat down and said, "What would you think if you go to Taizhou Master Han? If you really go like this, there will be no room for maneuver."
"I know this is the worst, but what else can I do?"
