The leading Eight Banners military officer put his sword into the sheath, clutching the reins tightly, and asked suspiciously: "You... are the official, are you the deputy envoy of Lianghuai Salt Transport Department?"

"It used to be, but now it's not." Han Xiufeng said coldly.

"Then are unemployed now?"

"I want to be unemployed, but the court does not allow it. If you listen carefully, I will be appointed as the fifth-rank official, the top-ranking official, and the acting deputy chief of Songjiang Prefecture's Co-Defense Commander and the Supervisor of Jiang Customs, Han Xiufeng!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Han. The subordinate disturbed Mr. Han and the subordinate accused him of the crime." If Han Xiufeng was only a magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture, the Eight Banners military officers would not take Han Xiufeng seriously, but Han Xiufeng was not only a magistrate of the Marine Defense of Songjiang Prefecture, but also a supervisor of Jiang Customs. The Eight Banners military officers knew very well that all the people who could do the supervision of the customs were the emperor's confidants. They hurriedly turned over and dismounted, held their fists and knelt on one knee.

His men reacted and hurriedly dismounted.

Han Xiufeng did not let him get up, but asked with a gloomy face: "What's your name? What's your official position? What's your position?"

"Reported to Mr. Han, the lower official, Surtai, the vanguard school of the Jingkou (Zhenjiang) garrison flag and military commission, he is now working in the Jiangnan camp."

The military system of the Eight Banners is different from the Green Camp. The commissioning of the Forward School seems to be from the eighth rank, equivalent to the general manager of the Eight Banners. In Han Xiufeng's opinion, the real official with a sesame size can't help but ask: "Who is your Shangguan?"

"Master Han, are you asking the superiors of the lower officials or the battalion officials?"

"Of course I'm asking the battalion officer."

"The official of the lower official is Mr. Liu Cunhou," for fear that Han Xiufeng would not give Liu Cunhou face, Surtai said again: "Mr. Liu was once the head of the Ministry of Justice, and now he is the alternate prefect of Qinjia's fourth-rank rank."

Even the soldiers harmed the people, Han Xiufeng became more and more depressed the more he thought about it. He stood up and said, "So you are Liu Cunhou's subordinates. Humph, his soldiers are not very good, and his official position is promoted very quickly!"

"Master Han, do you recognize Master Liu?" Surtai asked carefully.

Han Xiufeng did not return to his question, but said coldly: "Get up, take your subordinates and get out quickly! By the way, I will help you Master Liu to give me a message, saying that as a Tongzhi of the Sea Defense of Songjiang Prefecture, I will make decisions for the people under my rule, and I will trouble him to strictly enforce military discipline. When he restrains his subordinates, he will no longer disturb the people, I will go to a visit and hold a banquet to greet him."

I knew what I did. Surtai was so scared that he was out of his mind. He hurriedly kowtowed and fled with his men.

The military officer of the Green Camp who confronted Chen Hu and other village heroes at the bridgehead also asked clearly who the master Chen Hu said was. He hurriedly turned over and got off the horse and ran to the gate of the house, bowing and asking, "Who dares to ask who is Deputy Master Han Yun?"

As soon as he heard the accent, he knew that he was a fellow villager. Han Xiufeng turned around and said, "I am, who are you?"

The young military officer was not nervous, but instead grinned: "Hu Kunyuan greets Uncle Han! Uncle Han, Master Liu and Master Xue often mention you, and Du San even talks about you every day!"

"You're the little tiger?"

Hu Kunyuan asked excitedly: "Uncle Han, do you know me?"

"You have heard of me, I have also heard of you. Not only you, but I almost know all of my fellow villagers in Daying, Jiangnan. I just didn't expect us to meet like this."

Hu Kunyuan suddenly realized that the legendary people are the best and the most prosperous people's fortunes are. He was unable to stand what they did just now. He was embarrassed and said with a frown: "Uncle Han, we did not burn, kill, loot, nor did we kill and make contributions."

"Then what did you do just now?" Han Xiufeng asked with a gloomy face.

"Those people ran away as soon as they saw us. Will good people see officers and soldiers? They are definitely not good people, they must be rioters, so we chase them..."

"Do you believe this? If your son doesn't teach you, it's your father's fault. I don't blame you for this. I will go to your father to ask how your father taught you and how he led the troops!"

"Uncle Han, don't be angry. I always thought you were in Taizhou. I really didn't know that you were here... I rushed to the Dragon King Temple and bumped into you in a daze. I didn't know Mount Tai. I was wrong. I kowtowed to you and apologized for you."

"Hippie-smiling, do you think I'm joking with you?" Han Xiufeng clenched his fists and said with a grudge: "Take your men and get out. If I find out that you dare to harass the people again, don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship between the people!"

Hu Kunyuan realized that Han Xiufeng was really angry, and did not dare to smile anymore, nor did he dare to make excuses. He hurriedly kowtowed, got up and took a few steps, and came back again, saying sadly: "Uncle Han, you told me to get out. The faster I should have gotten out, the better the farther I should have gotten..."

"What else is it to waste?"

"Uncle Han, it's not that I don't want to get out, but I can't get out. Lord Xu asked us to camp here. If I get out, I can't camp."

"Then go and camp. I don't care where to camp, but don't blame me for being polite if you want to harass the people again."

"Uncle Han, then I'll go camp first. Don't worry, if anyone dares to harass the people, you won't have to speak up when I deal with him."

He was only ten years old and became a soldier. Han Xiufeng was speechless and simply walked into the yard without looking back and ignored him.

Hu Kunyuan looked at it, then grinned and said, "You are the big head, right?"

After finally meeting a fellow villager, Datou had long forgotten what his fellow villager had done just now, so he couldn't help but lean the bamboo pole against the wall, turned around and asked with a smile, "How do you know that my name is Datou?"

"Du San said, he said you have been a thousand-dollar company!"

"You even know this, how is Du San now? Did he come with you?"

"He didn't come. He was busy doing business in the camp. He helped people send messages to their hometowns and transferred silver to their hometowns. My father also asked him to send three thousand taels to my mother. Datou, he is neither a fellow villager in Ba County, and he is afraid of death. He can't find anyone every time he fights with long hair. Is it reliable to give so much money to him?"

"Don't worry, he's just an errand runner. The one who really helps you remit money is 'Rishengchang'."

"I'll be relieved if you say this," Hu Kunyuan leaned his head and peeked into the yard, then pulled Datou and asked, "Datou, did Mr. Han really get angry just now?"

"My fourth brother hates people who oppress the people the most. Do you think you are really angry?"

"What should I do?"

"How can I know?" Datou suddenly remembered what the person in front of him did just now and hurriedly said, "I won't talk to you anymore. The fourth brother knows that the fourth brother will scold me. Don't come to me anymore. My fourth brother will be unhappy if he knows it."

"We are serious fellow townsmen in Ba County!"

"Even if you are a fellow countryman."

"Okay, I'll go camp first, and wait until the camp is set up before apologizing to Uncle Han."

...

Hu Kunyuan returned to the bridge dejectedly, quickly restrained his subordinates and asked his subordinates to camp along the river.

A man couldn't help but come over and said, "Xiaohu, don't do this. He doesn't treat us as a fellow villager, but we don't treat him as a fellow villager. Isn't he just a deputy to luck? What's so awesome?"

"Shut up!"

"What's wrong?"

Hu Kunyuan raised his leg and kicked the boss, gritted his teeth and said, "You know the hammer! You don't urinate and see what he is, and you don't regard Mr. Han as a fellow villager. Let's say that, don't talk about you and me, even my father must be polite when he sees Mr. Han, and even Xiang Shuai can treat Mr. Han with courtesy."

"Mr. Han is a civil servant, and he doesn't care about us..."

"Master Liu and Master Xue are also civil servants. Do they care about us differently?" Hu Kunyuan asked back and said, "And Mr. Han is different from Master Liu and Master Xue. His official position is not supported by Xiang Shuai, nor is it a substitute. He is actually a shortage and also holds the positions of Tongzhi of Songjiang Prefecture and Jiang Customs Supervisor!"

"So what?" asked the boss subconsciously.

"What does Jiang Customs Supervision do? It collects taxes! Think about what our Jiangnan Camp lacks the most. Isn't what we lack the most? Isn't it silver?"

"Xiaohu, do you mean that Xiang Shuai has to beg Mr. Han?"

"You only know, control your subordinates for me and don't make Mr. Han angry anymore. If you can't control your subordinates, Mr. Han will know that. Don't talk about me at that time, even my father won't save you!"

"I know, I'll talk to my brothers now."

As soon as the general was finished speaking, an extra member of the foreign minister suddenly said: "Xiaohu, your father is here!"

Hu Kunyuan looked in the direction of the extra member's finger and saw his father Hu Songlin leading more than a dozen personal soldiers, surrounded Xue Huan and Liu Cunhou.

"Kunyuan pays homage to Mr. Xue and Mr. Liu." Hu Kunyuan did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly greeted him and bowed.

Xue Huan asked anxiously: "Xiaohu, Suertai said that Mr. Han Xiufeng is here. Have you seen Mr. Han?"

"I just saw it, right in the yard in front of me."

"Did you disturb Mr. Han?"

"We don't know that we will meet Mr. Han here, we..."

"Forget it, lead the way and report it quickly."

"Affect the order."

Three or four fellow villagers came at once, but it was really unreasonable to see him. Han Xiufeng heard Datou’s notice and put down the book he had just picked up to greet him.

Liu Cunhou had known that Han Xiufeng was not old, but he didn't expect Han Xiufeng to be so old. He couldn't help but bow and smile and said, "Zhixing, we finally met, but I didn't expect to be here, I didn't expect you to come to Shanghai."

"You don't know what I am acting as the Chief of the Coastal Defense of Songjiang Prefecture and the Supervision of the Customs of Jiang. Lord Xu didn't tell you?"

"We are just busy fighting these days. After regaining Jiading, we will regain Qingpu and then Chuansha. We have not seen Lord Xu for several days."

"Thank you hard, you guys are really working hard and making great contributions. No matter how busy you are, you cannot let your subordinates burn, kill, loot, and harm the local area."

Liu Cunhou's face turned red and hurriedly bowed: "Zhixing, others don't know you. Jintang and I have just led our troops. Before we could recognize all the soldiers under our command, Xingye led them to Songjiang to quell the rebellion, and even owed them more than two months of food and salary. It is not easy to bring them to Songjiang Prefecture and let them fight bravely."

"Brother Zhixing, I'm not afraid of you making fun of you. We are really a good wife and can't cook without rice." Xue Huan also smiled bitterly.

Han Xiufeng thought that it would be fine if he didn't become the Tongzhi of Songjiang Prefecture, but since he was already the acting Tongzhi of the Haidang Prefecture, he would have to be the one who served as an official. He looked up at the father and son of Laohu and Xiaohu who were reluctant to speak behind them and asked in a low voice: "Cousin Jin, how many soldiers have you brought? How much food and salary do you need to consume in a month?"

"There are more than 6,800 soldiers and soldiers. The food and wages consumed in a month will cost at least 100,000 taels of silver."

"One hundred thousand taels, right? As long as you can strictly enforce military discipline and restrain your soldiers and brave men, don't let them harm the local area, Qiao Futai and I will try to help."

"Ask, I know that as long as you are there, we don't have to worry about food and salary!"

"Brother Zhixing, you have helped us a lot!"

"I'll help you, and you have to help me."

"Brother, don't worry, what happened just now will never happen again. If anyone dares to harm the place again, I won't spare him if you don't have to speak!"

What else can you say to them? It is not easy to get their promise. Han Xiufeng sighed secretly and smiled relaxedly: "Three, you don't know I'm here. I knew you were coming. Not only did you prepare to welcome you, but you also prepared a big gift for you."

"What kind of courtesy?" Xue Huan asked curiously.

"I forgot to introduce that this is Mr. Wu from the Shanghai Branch of the 'Risenchang'. Mr. Wu was entrusted by Qiao Futai these days and has been helping to inquire about the relationship between the thieves. Mr. Wu knows everything about the situation in the city."
