The matter of inviting local martyrs, chastity wives and martyrs to receive a banquet cannot be urgent, because it is not something that the magistrate has the final say on. It must be reported to the magistrate, Taotai, feudal lord, and system, and then to the system yamen.

The Ministry of Rites will then report it to the Emperor, asking for His approval.

In short, this is something that cannot be rushed and is not a trivial matter. If Dean Gu, Wang Jiansheng and Yu Jiansheng want to ask Han Xiufeng to handle this important matter, they must first help Han Xiufeng appease the "young and strong" relatives who died in the battle.

They no longer cared about the misfortune in the yamen, and followed Han Xiufeng back to the second hall of the yamen for a light meal, and then went to the lobby to deal with the aftermath with Pan Er.

With these three highly respected country gentlemen coming forward, things would be much easier to handle.

The rogue relatives who came to collect the body hugged the body and howled as soon as they entered the yamen. They tried to comfort them, moved them emotionally, and reasoned with them. Not only did they not dare to mess around with the rogue relatives, but they also came to the second hall under their leadership.

He knelt down to thank him, which made Han Xiufeng very uncomfortable.

Seeing the profuse expressions of gratitude from those naughty relatives, and thinking about the official document he wrote for Zhang Bingdao in the morning, Xu Lequn suddenly felt a little scared. He didn't dare to act like a scholar in front of Han Xiufeng anymore, or even

I didn't dare to sit down anymore, so I just stood aside like a subordinate.

"Mr. Xu, sit down!"

"Mr. Han, I have been sitting all morning. It feels uncomfortable to sit. It is more comfortable to stand."

After reading the last transcript, Han Xiufeng raised his head and said with a smile: "If you insist on standing, then stand, but don't forget about business. More than a dozen ships of salt are by the Chenghuang Temple River. When will your old employer

Come and take the salt away?”

Xu Lequn is most afraid of the laughter of the young inspector in front of him now, because this young inspector is really a smiley man. He even said that he sold people, and they even helped count the money. He let someone die, and they still wanted to pay for it.

In turn, I was grateful to him. Xu Lequn was even more frightened when he mentioned Gongyan, because there should have been news in the morning, but no one came to report it until now.

He calmed down and said calmly: "Mr. Han, I don't know where Wan Sheng's family has gone. I was busy helping Master Zhang in the morning, and I didn't bother to ask someone to send a message to Master Bao. How about Wan Sheng himself?"

Take a walk."

Han Xiufeng asked with a smile: "Go to Fu'an to find Mr. Bao?"

"This is the only way. If Wansheng didn't go, how would Mr. Bao know that the illegal salt had been seized by Mr. Han?" A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. The more Xu Lequn thought about it, the more unsure he became, feeling that he could not stay here for a long time.

How could Han Xiufeng let him escape? He said with a smile: "There is no need for Mr. Xu to go out personally for this matter. Just write a letter and send it to someone."

"Mr. Han, this is a big deal worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Wansheng should go there in person."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Calculating the time, Second Young Master Zhang should have arrived. Han Xiufeng stood up and walked out of the second hall. He saw Zhang Guangcheng and Li Xiucai coming towards him with several yamen servants. The yamen servants also detained two big men with wooden shackles. One of them had a knife on his leg.

Injured, walking with a limp.

"Mr. Han, I kept you waiting for a long time!" Zhang Guangcheng cupped his hands and smiled.

"Brother Zhang, aren't you here to escort the prisoners? What's going on with these two?" Han Xiufeng looked at the two men behind him wearing wooden shackles. After thinking about it, he murmured: "These two men are looking at

It looks familiar, Xiufeng seems to have seen it somewhere."

"Not only have you seen it, Mr. Han, but the gentleman behind you, Mr. Han, must have also seen it." Zhang Guangcheng looked at Xu Lequn, who was already frightened, and then looked back at the two prisoners who had just been detained and said: "As far as I know

, they have been selling peanuts at Mr. Han’s door for several days, I don’t know if you have bought them, Mr. Han.”

"I wonder why it looks so familiar, but selling peanuts is not illegal. Brother Zhang, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

"Mr. Li, you know their details best. Tell Mr. Han."

"Yes." Li Xiucai first bowed his hands, then looked at Xu Lequn, whose legs were shaking with fear, and said with a proud smile: "Master Han, one of these two thieves is from Huaibei, his surname is Ding, and his name is Ding Dayong.

;one

One is from Bozhou, Anhui. His surname is Guan, and his name is Guan Laifu. He has practiced for several years and is good at using a sword, so he is nicknamed Guan Dadao. Both of them have criminal records. They are both wanted criminals by the court, and they are also the guards of Mr. Bao's family in Fu'an.

hospital!"

"There is such a thing!" Han Xiufeng was "shocked" and subconsciously turned around and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you recognize these two people? What's going on?"

Looking at the bloodstains on Ding Dayong and Guan Laifu, Xu Lequn realized that something happened to the twenty-six ships of salt. He regretted it, thinking that he had missed Li Xiucai, and faced Han Xiufeng's question

Know how to answer.

"Mr. Xu, these two are fugitives, and harboring fugitives is not a trivial matter! Do you recognize these two people? Are they the nursing home of Mr. Bao's family?"

"Mr. Han, these two are more than just fugitives. Not only are they carrying several lives on their backs, they are also working with Yizhen Jiang Changyu and other thieves to traffic in smuggled salt. After being surrounded by us, they jumped over the wall and resisted. Five government servants died there.

In their hands, more government servants and young men were injured!"

"Brother Zhang, Mr. Li, so you also seized a batch of illegal salt?" Han Xiufeng asked, pretending to be surprised.

"Yes, it was found in the branch of the river south of Zhongjiazhuang."

Xu Lequn didn't believe that Han Xiufeng knew nothing about this. Thinking that there was no way to excuse the matter at this point, he actually laughed and said: "What a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind it. Mr. Han, Xu admires me!"

Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Zhang Guangcheng shouted: "How can we allow you to be so arrogant in the lobby? Come on, take him down!"

"Yes!" the state police officers responded, swarmed over, pushed Xu Lequn down to his knees, and put on handcuffs and wooden shackles.

"Misunderstanding, Brother Zhang, this must be a misunderstanding."

"Mr. Han, this is really not a misunderstanding."

"But……"

"This is not the place to talk, Mr. Han, why don't we change the place and let Rong Guangcheng come with us."

"Okay, Brother Zhang, please come in." Han Xiufeng accompanied Zhang Guangcheng to the door of the second hall, then turned around and said: "You guys, please listen to me, this is the Inspection Department Yamen. Before everything is clear, Mr. Xu is still

My friends, please be polite to me and Mr. Xu. If anyone dares to touch Mr. Xu, don’t blame me for not giving Mr. Zhang face!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Han, he is a repeat offender. The young ones don't dare to do anything."

"Master, I'm watching from here." Pan Er pretended to be very concerned, squatted down and supported the wooden shackles and said: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, as long as my master is here, you will be fine."

Trafficking in smuggled salt is a business that involves a lot of money, not to mention that everyone has already stolen the goods. Xu Lequn is not as afraid as before. He looked at Pan Er with a smile and said: "Really? It seems that Xu can only count on Mr. Han to rescue him."
