Cui Huanzhang and Yang Liqing were just taking the lead in front of the battle, and they were not the only two who fought openly and secretly with the Eight Provincial Guests. As Han Xiufeng expected, the secret matter of "reorganizing the group training" quickly spread.

The news reached the Huguang Guild Hall. The Huguang guest Changjiang Zonghai, who was not very worried, could no longer sit still. He never expected that Han Xiufeng was ordered to help the group training with the order!

If it is true as the rumor says, then the Baojia Bureau, who is also the gentry of the bureau, will definitely become the first target to be rectified, because the group training is a local business. Since it is necessary to rectify or even be rectified, the first one to be rectified or even be rectified are the tea heroes of the Baojia Bureau. If the tea heroes recruited from Chaling Prefecture are dismissed, what will the Baojia Bureau have to be 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver a year?

If the skin does not exist, where will the hair be attached?

Jiang Zonghai did not dare to wait for news anymore, and hurried to ask for the county magistrate.

Xiangqing, the magistrate of Ba County, has gained a lot of benefits from the merchants of eight provinces, and he doesn't want the Baojia Bureau to be laid off like this, so he quickly went to help find Chongqing magistrate Du Xingyuan. Du Xingyuan, who was already thinking about reaping benefits from fishermen, naturally would not make a name for himself, so he simply took Xiangqing to report to the Taoist platform.

Cao Shuzhong also did not expect that the "assistant" would become "tidy". At the same time, he felt that the rumors were not groundless. After all, there were no thieves in Ba County and even the entire East Sichuan Road. What would it take to organize so many groups to do? In the long run, it would only be too big. Just as he was thinking about what name Han Xiufeng would do to rectify or even sack, his family sent a famous post and a visiting post.

Looking at the signature of famous posts and the "I gave the Gubatulu reward belt from the fourth rank to the head of the prefecture and the rank of the prefecture to assist in the training of the various prefectures and counties in Chongqing Prefecture", Cao Shuzhong hurriedly said: "Please!"

"As for orders, the younger one will go here."

Cao Shuzhong calmed down and sat down for a while. Han Xiufeng, wearing a long blue cloth gown, walked into the flower hall accompanied by his family.

Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Cao Shuzhong stood up and greeted, "Brother Han, you are back. I received an imperial edict from the court a few years ago and waited for you to come back to help train the various prefectures and counties in Chongqing Prefecture. I never thought that I had waited for more than four months, and I didn't expect you to come back like this, brother, why didn't you send someone to a prophet to let Chongqing Prefecture summon local gentry to welcome you!"

He smiled, was extremely enthusiastic, and had no airs at all. He was surprised that Han Xiufeng, who came to visit after entering the city, came to pay homage.

"Mr. Cao, what are you doing?" Han Xiufeng bowed respectfully, and then bowed seriously and sincerely: "Sir, not only is he older, but also the same age as my uncle, Lord Duan. Xiufeng dares not be a brother to you. I beg you to beg Xiufeng for worship!"

"Yes, I call you Zhixing."

"Sir, thank you." Han Xiufeng bowed again, then took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it respectfully: "Mr. Cao, this is the letter that Uncle Shi asked Xiufeng to send you. Uncle Shi said that you have been separated from you for more than ten years, so I miss you."

"Shi Zanqing?"

“That’s right.”

Duan Dazhang mentioned Shi Zanqing last time, saying that Shi Zanqing is now the Tongzhi on the north bank of the Yongding River, and has also been a colleague of the young registered magistrate in front of him for nearly a year. Thinking that the person in front of him has been from the fourth rank and also called Shi Zanqing from the fifth rank as Uncle Shi, Cao Shuzhong suddenly felt that although the person in front of him was a donor, he was still polite.

While he asked Han Xiufeng to sit down, he asked Han Xiufeng to use tea, while opening the letter.

Shi Zanqing didn't mention anything else in the letter, but just talked about the friendship of the same year, so he quickly finished reading it, put down the letter and asked with a smile: "Zhixing, I've been back for a few days. Have you ever gone to Jiangbei to pay homage to your uncle?"

"Sir, Xiufeng has been back for more than ten days. He just entered the city this afternoon and had not had time to go to Jiangbei to pay homage to his uncle."

"Ten days?"

"That's right." Han Xiufeng said helplessly: "I wanted to come to see the adults earlier, but Xiufeng returned to his hometown to attend the funeral this time. There are so many things in his hometown, so it has been delayed until today. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay, the ancients said that filial piety is the heaven. Even if you come more than ten days later, I will not blame you."

"My Lord, thank you for your understanding."

Cao Shuzhong felt that Han Xiufeng not only knew etiquette and seemed to be easier to speak, but he didn't want to go around the circle anymore. He said bluntly: "Yingxing, although you have just returned, the news of your return home to rectify the training of the group has spread all over the world. Although it was a bit unexpected when I first received the news, it was reasonable to think about it carefully."

Han Xiufeng also didn't want to go around the circle, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Sir, please forgive me. Xiufeng was indeed released by Xiufeng, but it was purely a last resort. Lord Cao must not take it seriously!"

Cao Shuzhong thought Han Xiufeng would take out a emperor's decree, but he didn't expect Han Xiufeng to say this, and was stunned for a moment.

Han Xiufeng could only explain with a bitter face: "To be honest, just a few days after Xiufeng arrived at his hometown in Ciyun Mountain, several local gentry came to the door and planned to help Xiufeng organize a group training. But the most lacking thing in Ba County and the entire Dongchuan Road is group training. Can Xiufeng do it? Besides, there is no need for group training without food and money. Where does this food and money come from?"

The more Cao Shuzhong listened, the more confused he became. He thought to himself that you didn’t plan to organize a group training, so why did the emperor ask you to go back to his hometown to organize a group training, and why did you bring you back ten civil and military officials?

Han Xiufeng cleared his throat and continued: "Xiufeng was an official in Jiangsu. He personally experienced that since the military use of the army, he only relied on donations by acres, but it was not enough to make ends meet. At the beginning, he only ordered donations for silk tea, houses, industry and even households. The place was in decline, and the real money was small, all relying on donations. Xiufeng, as a native of Ba County, could he let the elders of his hometown, who had not suffered any wars, be as overwhelmed as the people of Liangjiang!"

"Yes, if you just collect food and consume food, and leave the people with no way out, you will really force the people to rebel!"

"If you use people from the province to do their own affairs, it will definitely become a constraint for local officials. Local military affairs and government affairs will not improve. Although Xiufeng was ordered to return to his hometown to help with the group training, he would never dare to interfere in local government affairs and military affairs. Not to mention that there is nothing to do in his hometown, even if there is anything, Xiufeng could only discuss with the adults and plan with the gentry. There is no way to discuss the existing township, street, house and wing groups."

Han Xiufeng said everything from heart, but Cao Shuzhong became more and more suspicious as he listened, and he couldn't help asking: "Zhixing, since you have no intention of helping with the group training, and even feel that Ba County and even the entire Sichuan East Road are not short of group training, why did the emperor ask you to go back to your hometown to help with the group training, and why did you order ten civil and military officials from Zhili to accompany you?"

"Isn't Tongzi a traitor who committed rebellion? The emperor may not be relieved, so he gave Xiufeng the errand training job to help Xiufeng bring back ten civil and military officials."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple. I forgot if I don't mention Xiufeng's investigation," Han Xiufeng took out a list of books from his sleeve and submitted it to him: "Sir, this is the list of civil and military officials who returned to his hometown to help with the group training. Gao Yunfeng, the Zhili alternate, is from Annan, Guizhou. He heard that Annan was once captured by bandits and bandits. He was worried about his family and took two additional foreign commissioners back first. What happened in Guizhou? At most, there will be news for the most months."

A total of ten were brought back, and three of them went to Guizhou when they arrived at Zoumagang.

Cao Shuzhong felt that things were not as simple as Han Xiufeng said, so he looked at the list and asked, "Where are other people?"

"They were all waiting for the summons to be summoned by the adults outside. Among them, the registered capital officer Chen Hu and Qianzong Ge Erxiao not only killed Changmao in Yangzhou, but later went to the Jinghai Formation to serve. Several other generals and extra-commissioned members also had suppressed thieves in Zhisuo's jurisdiction. The emperor ordered them to go back to their hometown to help with the group training, but their hometown really had no intention of organizing any group training. Xiufeng wanted to entrust them to the adults and beg him to take them in."

Han Xiufeng acted as if he didn't want to care about anything and planned to stay someone and then go back to Zouma countryside to continue Ding You.

Cao Shuzhong felt even more unsure. He put down the list and asked curiously: "Zhixing, I heard that there was another person who went to the capital with you back then. That person seemed to have become an official, why didn't he come back?"

"Sir, is Mr. Yuan? That boy is stupid and has a good fortune. His official career is better than Xiufeng. Now, he has not only become a third-class guard, but the emperor also gave him the nickname "suppress".

"Is it time to enter the palace?"

"Well, follow Qianqing Sect guard Enjun to learn to walk."

Han Xiufeng said it lightly, Cao Shuzhong felt a lot of thought, thinking that God knew who you brought back. If one or two of them were like the big head, they were also guards in the palace, if they were just letting them stay like this, wouldn’t it be that “inducing the wolf into the house”? Wouldn’t it be that there was no suspicion from the court around them?

Just as Cao Shuzhong thought about it more and more, and just when he didn't know how to correspond, Han Xiufeng said lightly: "There is another thing I forgot to report to the adults. The reason why Xiufeng delayed on the road for nearly two months was because Jian Nei gave birth to Xiufeng on the way back, and the other was because Xiufeng only knew that Tongzi had a thief and bandits had rushed into my Sichuan. He was worried about the safety of his hometown, so he tried every means to ask his friend to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver and purchased 160 firebuzzers and three thousand kilograms of gunpowder lead."

"Foreign gun?"

"That's exactly, it's the kind of firebuzzer used by foreigners. It hits far and is very sharp."

"Where are those foreign guns?"

"I'm at Xiufeng's house, just waiting for the adults to check it out."

Cao Shuzhong thought to himself that you didn't plan to help with the group training. Ba County and even the entire Sichuan East Road are not short of the group. However, not only did you bring back ten civil and military officials, but you also brought more than a hundred foreign guns, and you even sent three civil and military officials to Guizhou to inquire about the relationship between the thieves. Isn't this a contradiction!

The more Cao Shuzhong thought about it, the more he felt that the person in front of him seemed gentle, respectful, frugal, but in fact he was unfathomable. He dared not agree easily. After pondering for a moment, he stood up and said, "Ambition, why don't you accompany me to meet those Dusi, General Qian, General Qian, General Qian, General Secretary, and other matters tomorrow."
