Chapter 251 Benevolence

There was a fierce battle at night, and nine were killed on the spot. Two more died on the way back from Qilidian. Chen Jingjun, who had just been carried away by Chen Youdao, and the most injured people in the lobby, probably won't live for a few days.

It’s not a trivial matter to die a dozen people in one go!

Although all the dead are rascals, they still have to appease their relatives. If they are not comfortable in life, they will not only be criticized as a "ruthless official", but may even be sued by some families of the deceased who are not easy to speak and have some tricks to the government office, the Bureau of the Bureau and the Taiwan Office.

Although there is a reason for the incident, Han Xiufeng is almost certain that the Mansion and Daotai do not care about these things, because they all want to be peaceful officials and want to be safe and sound. If the defendant comes to their place, although he will not be dismissed from office and investigated, he will not think about doing this inspection again. If he is lucky, he will be transferred to another place to handle the situation. If he is not lucky, he will be assigned to him casually. If he is done after the errand, he will ignore you. If you just do it, you will waste your time and let you die.

The good days have just begun, and Han Xiufeng doesn't want to do a "one-time" business. He walked into the public housing opposite and listened to the trial while watching the transcripts made by Xu Lequn, while waiting for Dean Gu, Wang Jiansheng and other gentry.

Zhang Dadan had never done such a thing as showing his face, and had never made such a great contribution. After the trial, he couldn't sit still. He asked his subordinates to take away the private owl who had just been tried, turned around and smiled and said with a flattering smile: "Master Han, we have seized so much private salt and captured so many important criminals. You must report to Mr. Zhang, and I will also report to Mr. Xu Qian and Qian Shoujie!"

The credit is for everyone, and it cannot be taken exclusively by one person.

Besides, this skill is not that easy to grab. To be precise, this skill cannot be grabbed randomly. Han Xiufeng said calmly: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and write a seal of official documents and ask Wang Ruhai to help you send it to Taizhou."

"Mr. Han, I... I am a rough man from the ranks and can't write."

"I thought it was a big deal. I couldn't write it, right? I'll write it for you."

"Master Han, why don't I do it?" Xu Lequn couldn't help but smile.

"No need, please help me all morning. I must be very tired when I do so many records. My hands probably hurt. I'd better take a break." Han Xiufeng asked him to sit opposite him to have tea, while spreading out the paper and picking up a pen, leaning over to help Zhang Dada write the article.

Zhang Dadan clearly couldn't read, but rubbed his hands and stood by looking.

Xu Lequn took a few sips of tea, came over and took a look, and hurriedly said, "Master Han, this is a document written by Mr. Zhang, which is a document to help Mr. Zhang ask for me for me. What do you mention me? I am just a white diary, it is useless to give me this credit!"

"The whole story of the matter must be written clearly, otherwise Qian Shoubei would be confused and mistakenly think that Mr. Zhang lied to report his military achievements."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Han is right, and the whole story of the matter must be explained clearly."

"But……"

"But what, this is not a shameful thing."

Han Xiufeng was perfunctory, and Zhang Shiheng walked in quickly, bowed respectfully to the three of them, and then looked up and said, "Mr. Han, President Gu, Mr. Wang and Mr. Yu are here, and Mr. Huang goes to the countryside to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning. His family said they will not come back until dark."

"Okay, I'll go here." Han Xiufeng quickly helped Zhang Dadan write the signature, then put down his pen and found a record, took the record to the door and turned back, "Mr. Xu, I'll go and talk to Dean Gu and the others for a while. Please read the newly written document to Mr. Zhang."

"Mr. Xu, I'm in trouble." Zhang Dadan bowed and smiled.

Xu Lequn was so funny that he could only bite the bullet and said, "It's not a problem."

………

Han Xiufeng followed Zhang Shiheng into the front yard and saw that President Gu, Wang Jiansheng and Yu Jiansheng were already stunned by the corpses all over the yard and stood by the wall of the yard.

"Director Gu, Brother Wang, Brother Yu, you three are frightened."

"Master Han, you...you were watching the show with us yesterday afternoon, why did you make it like this today, one, two, three, four...nineteen, twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty, how come so many people died!"

Han Xiufeng bypassed a row of corpses and greeted him with helpless expressions: "It's the New Year, Xiufeng doesn't want to start a massacre. But Xiufeng, as a court official, knew that a group of bandits who fled into Hai'an could not ignore it, otherwise he would be sorry for the people under his jurisdiction even if he had to bear the favor of the holy people."

"Master Han, are these all private owls?" Wang Jiansheng asked with his nose covering his nose.

"This is, there are dead...the young and strong people who died in battle."

"Young and strong?"

"Director Gu, don't ask questions clearly. Xiufeng really didn't expect that he thought it was just a bunch of thieves. He wanted to benefit the officials and not to purify the atmosphere and not kill them all. He planned to give Ma Guozhong and other rampant thugs a chance to redeem their sins. He didn't expect that these private owls were all desperate..."

So many people died at once, so I had to give them an explanation. President Gu frowned and said, "Although Ma Guozhong and others have bad records, they will not be punished until they die."

"So Xiufeng was also very sad, but everyone died, so he could only give him some pensions."

Wang Jiansheng felt that this group of people had killed him, so he couldn't help but turn around and said, "Each family gives thirty taels of pensions, and even if they don't die in battle, even if they do anything they have committed before, they will die in prison, but they will die on the road to exile."

"Reason is this, but it is a dozen lives after all. Their families are reasonable and unreasonable. What if they encounter a mess?"

Yu Jiansheng looked at the corpses all over the ground and pondered: "Master Han, President Gu, say something disrespectful to the dead, it's easy to say the dead in the yard, but I'm afraid that they are not dead now but will not live for a few days."

"Brother Yu, are you talking about the third son of President Chen's family?"

"Mr. Han, it's really not to be hiding. I just went to Chen Youdao's house. The third child of his family was seriously injured. It's probably only been in the past few days."

Han Xiufeng knew very well that if Chen Jingjun died, Chen Youdao would not agree. However, in Han Xiufeng's opinion, as long as others don't say anything, Chen Youdao's family alone can't cause any storm.

President Gu didn't think so much, but he just felt that something big happened to him as a local gentry, and he had to say a few words to the local people. But looking at the corpses all over the ground, he didn't know how to speak, so he simply turned around and said, "Master Han, this is really not a place to talk. Why don't we go to the pawn shop to sit for a while?"

"Okay, Dean Gu please."

"Please, Mr. Han."

While following the yamen, Yu Jiansheng couldn't help but say, "Master Han, these corpses cannot always be parked in the yamen!"

"Stop until tomorrow at most." Han Xiufeng stuffed the transcript into his arms, helped Dean Gu cross the threshold, and explained: "I have sent the archers to call their families to receive pensions and carry the bodies back to restrain them. As for the corpses of the bandits, they will be sent to Taizhou tomorrow at the latest. The case cannot be handled. It is estimated that the robbers will be sent to Yangzhou together with the bandits captured at night, and the prefecture and the corpses will be investigated by the ruling yamen and the corpses of the yamen."

"Searched so much private salt and captured so many private owls. This is a big case, a horrifying big case!" President Gu nodded slightly.

If the people in the town respect Han Xiufeng, the honest inspector, now they are not only "respect" but also "fear"!

As soon as he walked out of the yamen, the people watching the fun avoided him and the King of Hell. Being an official is not a good thing to do so. Han Xiufeng secretly decided to implement "benevolent politics" next, so that the people under his rule could not think that he was a cruel official who killed people without blinking.

When he walked into the pawnshop, the pawnshop owner was frightened and even hesitated when he spoke.

Han Xiufeng didn't care. After saying a few good words of "congratulations on getting rich", he sat down and asked, "Director Gu, Brother Wang, Brother Yu, last summer, was there a woman in Jijiazhuang who was raped while washing clothes by the river?"

"With this happening, Mr. Han, how do you know?" Dean Gu asked in confusion.

"How do I know later? Let's talk about the woman's surname first. How is it now?"

"The woman's surname is Ji. The girl in the countryside has no name. Her family calls her the third girl. Her father is the tenant of Ji Laocai's family, and her mother is the fourth daughter of Deng Youyu in the town. Speaking of which, the girl is also very savage. After being abused, she feels shameless to meet people, so she hangs her the next day."

"Dead!" Han Xiufeng asked in surprise.

"It's a small matter to starve to death, but it's a big matter to lose his morals. She doesn't have the shame to live without committing suicide! It's a pity that the beast who raped her has not been caught until today. She died in vain and died with no clarity!" Speaking of this, President Gu suddenly reacted: "Master Han, why did you suddenly mention the third girl of Ji's family? Is this case full of clues?"

"To be honest, if the third girl of Ji's family was not dead, Xiufeng's words would only end here. After all, it would damage a woman's reputation, and maybe she would force a living person to death. Unexpectedly, the third girl of Ji's family was actually a fierce woman. Since she had already committed suicide to keep her rituals, then the official must give her justice!"

"Master Han, what do you mean?" Wang Jiansheng asked anxiously.

Han Xiufeng took out the morning record from Xu Lequn and said coldly: "The bandits captured at night confessed that they had traveled to our Hai'an to smuggle a batch of salt from last summer. One of them was a fugitive named Xun Liu. When he passed by Jijiazhuang, he raped a woman who was washing clothes by the river. After rape, he knocked the woman out and then ran away on a boat."

"Where is that Xun Liu?" Dean Gu asked subconsciously.

"I was locked in the yamen and captured at night."

"It's really a vast net of heaven that is not leaked. Mr. Han, since he has been arrested, you must help Ji Guishan and the three girls who died in the throne!"

"This is natural. God can still forgive evil, but man cannot survive. He is like him who does not kill the gods!" Han Xiufeng paused and asked in confusion: "Director Gu, as you said just now, the third girl from the Ji family is a stout girl. Did the Ji family ask for a tribute? Please give me a tribute to the court?"

President Gu didn't expect Han Xiufeng to ask this, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "Master Han, how easy is to hire Jing? Not to mention that Ji Guishan is just an honest tenant. He has no money and power, and even if he has money, he may not be able to hire him. Mr. Zhang, you know that he fell ill after a few days of taking office, so how can he have the energy to take care of these? There have been many people missing the flag in recent years."

A husband is the leader of his wife and ends with oneness.

Chastity, filial piety and righteousness will last forever!

The court has a certain rule that as long as the wise women, wise women, wise women, and local officials who meet the requirements of the bidding will submit a document to request the award. Not only will they build archways for silver, plaques and plaques, and build names in the filial piety temple, but they will also include the local chronicles of the prefectures and counties. If a family produces a wise women or wise women, the wise women will have the honor of winning the honor with their family, and even the village will be competing for honor.

However, a fixed rule is a fixed rule, and the Yamen will not help you hire a royal family if you don’t give money.

Han Xiufeng helped the yamen for so many years when he was in Ba County. How could he not know that it was normal to leak Jing? But he still pretended to be indignant and said: "As long as the order is combined, you must invite Jing. If you can't invite Jing even if you can't invite Jing, how can you talk about education?"

President Gu said helplessly: "Master Han, you don't know that the third girl from Jijia committed suicide by hanging herself the next day after being raped."

The court has regulations that only those who are raped and commit suicide can be considered a savage girl and can only ask for a court of honor. The next day, the one who hangs her is not counted. But in Han Xiufeng's opinion, this is too harsh. It is simply forcing others to die, and the faster they die, the better.

"The next day... the next day, President Gu, the third girl from Ji's family was raped and then knocked out by Xun Liu. She was already unconscious and she committed suicide by hanging herself."

"Master Han, do you mean that the third girl of Jijia committed suicide by hanging herself after waking up the next day?"

"It should be, it must be!"

"Mr. Han Gao Yi, although Gu is neither related nor old to the Ji family, he still wants to worship on behalf of the Ji family!"

"Director Gu, what are you doing?" Han Xiufeng quickly helped Dean Gu up and said with a firm opinion: "Three, there are a lot of things in the yamen. Xiufeng really doesn't care about helping Ji's family write a document to invite Jing, so he can only trouble three of them. Leave the other things to Xiufeng, and Xiufeng goes to find Mr. Zhang!"

This is a great thing for the village. How could President Gu refuse? He was about to get up to let the pawnshop shopkeeper serve him. Wang Jiansheng couldn't help asking: "Master Han, what about other priests who have lost their flags? Can you also help them and their families to plead with Master Zhang Er?"

Why don’t you do favors? Besides, this is a “benevolent government” that can be replaced by a false “benevolent government”. As long as it can be done in all directions, who dares to say that the inspector is a cruel official? How could Han Xiufeng miss this opportunity to win people’s hearts? He said without thinking: “There is one counts one, as long as the rules are all counted!”

"Where has passed away?" Yu Jiansheng asked.

"Brother I, not only did the widows in the folk who died at the age of 30, but those who did not change their moral integrity after the age of 50 were included in the list of commendations. In the second year of Yongzheng, Master Yongzheng issued an edict: Those who have been in the age of 40, who have been in the age of 40, should also be awarded the honor. In the 36th year of Qianlong, Master Qianlong also wrote an edict that the deceased virgins are not limited to their age, and it is customized!"

Yu Jiansheng is just a scholar in the countryside, and a scholar who is not even a scholar without a candidate. He doesn’t know this. He couldn’t help but sigh: “Mr. Han, according to what you said, we Hai'an have many priests who have been able to hire a royal family in recent years, and there are at least a dozen.”

Han Xiufeng said firmly: "As long as the husband is filial to his parents-in-law after he dies, he will be filial to his parents-in-law, and he will be well-received and honored. None of them can be missed!"

Thinking that honoring is not only honor but also benefits, a sacrificial yamen will give fifty taels of silver as usual, which can be used to build archways or not. In short, fifty taels of silver may not be considered a big deal for wealthy families, but for ordinary families, it can be a lot of money.

"Okay, great!" President Gu became more and more excited as he thought about it. He stood up again and bowed deeply: "Master Han, no matter whether he can invite him or not, the people of Hai'an will not forget your great kindness!"
