Duan Jiqing packed up a few pieces of clothes and changed his clothes. He hired a pole to lift the rod. As soon as he went out, the Huguang Guild Hall next to the Han family received the news.

"Although this young man who just returned, this is the first time I have seen him, I have heard a lot in recent years. He went to Beijing with Mr. Han to invest in the capital, and his relationship with Mr. Han is not ordinary. In the past two years, the military officers and soldiers in Chongqing who have been quelling the rebellion outside, bravely sending messages and money to their homes. The one in Ba County was handled by Duan Jiqing, and the one in Liangjiang was handled by Mr. Du, who just returned."

The guy who was inquiring about the news looked up and peeked at the new Huguang guest, Changjiang Zonghai and Shaanxi guest chief Guan Yunzhong, and then said: "The tea gang porters who helped carry the coffin said that three people did not go to the town with Mr. Du after getting off the boat, but entered the city while the chaos was in the chaos. The little one felt strange. It was not until Li Liu said that Mr. Han had come and quietly chased him over and took a look that he knew who the three were."

Jiang Zonghai put down his teacup and said, "Don't keep it aside, say something quickly."

"Master Jiang, the young man is not keeping a secret. Just say that the person in the lead looks familiar, a bit like Mr. Han's Changsui back then. However, after several years, the young man was not sure about it. It was not until the man went to "Tongxingdang" and hugged Pan Changxi and cried bitterly that the young man was sure that he was Pan Er."

"He is not Pan Er, he is now an official!" Guan Yunzhong touched his chin and sighed: "Du Weifang became the fourth-rank official Dushi, Pan Er became the ambassador of the Salt Course. The Guawazi, who used to fight with the Tea Gang, became the Qianzong General. It is said that even the coroner Ding Zhu, who later went to Han Xiufeng, and Yu Youfu's son, not only became the chief officer, but also worked as a member of the infantry commander's yamen."

"More than these people," the clerk couldn't help but add: "I heard that Zhou Changchun, the nephew of the military office of the Daoist Office, and Wang Guisheng, the third son of the county yamen, also became officials, and went to Guangdong for inspection together. He Jiangong, the nephew of the Qianzong of the Right Camp, also made up for the lack, and seemed to be distributed to Xuanhua Town to be the Qianzong of the Qianzong of the Daoist Office. Anyway, one of the ones who went to join Master Han later became officials!"

"It's really a one-man who has achieved enlightenment and has become a dog to ascend to heaven!" Guan Yunzhong smiled, and thought about it and said, "Brother Jiang, you said that some of our plants and trees were soldiered before."

Jiang Zonghai signaled the guy to retreat, and asked with a smile: "Why did Brother Guan say this?"

"I think the gentry of Ba County is not a solid piece. Han Xiufeng not only came from a donation, but also had no interaction with Gong Ying, Cui Huanzhang, Yang Liqing, Wu Xinyuan and others before going to the capital to pay tribute. He may not even look down on Han Xiufeng, who was still in the yamen at that time."

"Where is Gu Zhongzheng?"

"Gu Zhongzheng was only close to Duan Jiqing during his lifetime, and had some correspondence with Han Xiufeng."

Guan Yunzhong thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, the gentry of Ba County can be divided into four types. One is to turn a blind eye to things outside the window, devote one to teaching the truth or study the books of sages, such as the Sun Family of Ciqikou; the other is to want to get involved in everything and to take care of everything, that is, Gong Ying, Cui Huanzhang, Yang Liqing and others; the other is to want to get involved in everything but not qualified to get involved in everything, that is, those supervisors and martial students who run groups in the countryside."

Jiang Zonghai felt it was a little interesting and couldn't help but ask, "Where is the fourth type?"

"The fourth type is a rising star like Han Xiufeng. They are not scholars, and most of them come from the yamen. Some have worked as clerks, some have worked as yamen runners, and some have come from the ranks. They say it is easy to deal with and can give some benefits. It is really difficult to deal with because there are no twists and turns in the officialdom, not to mention that there are people from the county government to the bureau, including the camps of Chongqing Town. As the saying goes, it is difficult to deal with!"

"Where is Lord Duan, which one is Lord Duan?"

"What is Lord Duan's identity? How could he care about these messy things? What's more, aren't you guys?"

"The bigger the official is, the less you don't care about these messy things." Jiang Zonghai nodded slightly.

When talking about the high and small official, Guan Yunzhong pondered again: "Speaking of this, Han Xiufeng's official position is not small. He has not only worked as a 'little military aircraft', but also from the fourth-rank top belt, but also from the emperor's imperial decree. The higher the man stands, the further he should look. Logically speaking, he should not care about these messy things like Lord Duan."

"Realistically speaking, Han Xiufeng should not care. He is in the heart of the emperor, and he is in a strong sense of holy family, and he is not old. As long as he is in the mourning, he can go back and continue to be an official. Anyway, although he is not a governor like him, it is not impossible to be a censor or even a governor in the future."

"Yes, he doesn't have to ruin his future because of those scholars."

"But I think Han Xiufeng will definitely take care of it!"

"Brother Jiang, where do you start?" Guan Yunzhong was confused.

Jiang Zonghai sighed lightly and explained helplessly: "Brother Guan, although I have never seen Han Xiufeng, I have heard many mentions from Lord Duan. I don't know how he is in his hometown, but outside he can be called a 'timely rain' figure! When he was in the capital, he not only renovated the Chongqing Guild Hall, but also advocated the construction of Wenchang Pavilion and a township temple. It is said that the Beijing officials of various prefectures and counties in Chongqing not only took his righteous actions as a record, but also agreed with the Chongqing Guild Hall to only set up a duty and not a director in the future."

"Why not have a curator?"

"Because those Beijing officials felt that no one was qualified to be the director except Han Xiufeng, which means that Han Xiufeng will always be the director of the Chongqing Guild Hall." Jiang Zonghai took a sip of tea and then said: "What's more, he was in the position of the General Secretary of the Haid Defense Department of Songjiang Prefecture and the Supervisor of Jiang Customs. He also issued a silver to build the Sichuan Guild Hall so that fellow villagers who went to Songjiang Prefecture to be an official or did business in Songjiang Prefecture can have a place to stay. You can't believe that although he is not an orthodox scholar, his prestige in Ba County and even the scholars in Chongqing Prefecture even surpassed Lord Duan and Huang Yushi."

Guan Yunzhong was shocked: "So he is the backbone of the gentry in Ba County!"

"It is not only the backbone of the gentry in Ba County, but also the Minister of the League Training sent by the emperor to help with the group training. Do you think he will take care of this group training or ignore it after he comes back?"

"As my brother said, he has a 10-year-old club."

"Yes, so I can't sleep at night these days, for fear of letting down your trust."

...

At the same time, Cui Huanzhang and Yang Liqing, who had been making trouble for a while, complained to Gong Ying at Gong Ying's home.

"The chief supervisor of Longyin Group, Sun Dasheng and the chief of the Tuanzheng Zou Yuanyi, went to the county government to file a complaint yesterday. The former chief of the Tuanzheng Tong Yishun greed for four taels of silver in the public account, and the second complained that Tong Yishun had not settled the accounts carefully. The third complained that Tong Yishun was a wealthy man in Longyin, only knew that he had collected group fees from the neighbors in the town, but he couldn't pay the money himself. He begged the county magistrate to be fair and ordered Tong Yishun to explain the accounts clearly. Mr. Gong, you say that it was the time when they were unanimous to the outside world that they had an internal strife for four taels of silver. It was really embarrassing to throw it home!"

"What did the county magistrate say?" Gong Ying asked in a low voice.

"The county magistrate said that Tong Yishun controls and occupies Ruzhen, which is very abominable, so he asked him to wait for the sign and call him to investigate." Cui Huanzhang paused, and then said with gritted teeth: "The road to Maoxia in Zhili Liujia is connected to Tongzi, which is a key barrier to blockade. However, at this critical moment, the Shilong Group of Zhili Liujia has also started an internal strife."

Gong Ying pondered: "Who is the surveillance officer of the Shilong Group now?"

"The current supervisor is Chen Tianru, and the delegation is Qin Zhengyi. They also came to the county government to submit a complaint a few days ago. Chen Zhankui, a martial artist of Baishatuo, not only bewitched the flower farmers in Baishatuo, but also bewitched the flower farmers and refused to pay the group fee. Chen Zhankui argued that Baishatuo is ten miles away from the Shilong Group, and it is better to run around by yourself than to run around every day, and he really set up a business to set up a literary and classic group in Baishatuo."

"If I remember correctly, Chen Zhankui's family and Chen Tianru's family are enemies, so it is not appropriate to force them together."

"The two families do have a grudge, so Chen Zhankui's own Wenjingtuan County Master didn't say anything. But wasn't there any traitors in Tongzi causing trouble? The county master ordered Chen Zhankui to lead the Wenjingtuan to Maoerxia to prevent blocking the Shilong Group. As a result, they did not fight with Tongzi's bandits. The two regiments actually started fighting first. It is said that Chen Zhankui's jacket was torn apart, and Chen Zhankui's son Chen Yizhi was injured. Chen Tianru sued Chen Zhankui for destroying the Shilong Group's gun and cannons, and each had his own opinions. The county master didn't know how to break it!"

Yang Liqing couldn't help but say, "Jiang Zonghai and Guan Yunzhong must be watching our jokes."

"But what can we do? Even if we come forward to say a few words, Sun Dasheng, Zou Yuanyi, Chen Tianru, Chen Zhankui and the others won't listen." Thinking of the group of sergeants in the countryside who had internal conflicts for several days, Wu Sheng, Gong Ying sighed helplessly: "It's really a world of decline, but people's hearts are not old!"

"It seems that I can only wait for Zhixing to come back. I guess Zhixing can cure them."

"Do you think they can convince Han Zhixing?"

"I should be convinced. As far as I know, they had a good relationship with Pan Changsheng before. Pan Changsheng only followed Zhixing's lead. They would definitely give Zhixing some face. What's more, they spent money to donate literary and military supervisors. At first, they might think that after donating, they could be so prestigious in the countryside. If Zhixing listened to Zhixing, it would be different. Since Zhixing can promote Pan Changsheng as an official, he can also support them. If he can be a superior official, he will be the real glorious ancestor. It is better than being a supervisor of the countryside in the countryside."

"That's true, but Zhixing has not come back yet. Will he really not come back as rumored?"

"You can rest assured. I just received a letter from a fellow villager who sent it from the capital yesterday. In the letter, he said that Zhixing had been vacancies before the New Year. As for why he has not been home until today, I guess it is because of what happened on the road."

When talking about Han Xiufeng, Gong Ying couldn't help but mutter: "Duan Jiqing is really, she actually hides from us!"
