Chapter ninety-two
"Are you an official?" Huitu asked in surprise.
"I'm not, they are." Tuesday was held up and unable to move, so he could only whisper to the government officials who were tied up.
Huitu had never encountered such a ridiculous thing, and asked doubtfully: "They are official servants, who are you?"
"I am the younger brother of Zhengtang of Dingyuan County, Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Zhengtang of Dingyuan County is my biological brother. I have documents for sea fishing. I am really here to handle the errands!"
"Where are the sea fishing documents?"
Mr. Wang Qian was illiterate, so he took the document from a Green Camp soldier and handed it over and asked, "Master Hui, is this the one?"
Huitu took the document, looked at it, raised his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be fake."
"Mr. Hui, it can't be true, and it can't be true." Tuesday said eagerly, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "My brother was transported by the Yunnan Constitutional Committee to transport Yunnan copper, and he was careful and worried about even the slightest mistake along the way.
It was a mistake. In the end, I guarded against the robber but failed to guard against Han Si, a well-dressed beast, and actually let him steal 800 kilograms of copper!"
"So we have a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and we don't recognize each other as one family?"
"Yes, it was the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple."
Huitu thought that it was a credit to him that he failed to catch the rebels and caught a few thieves who stole official copper. He couldn't help but ask: "Who is Han Si?"
"He, Mr. Zhan Hui, where are you the day after tomorrow!" On Tuesday, he spoke to Han Xiufeng again and said through gritted teeth: "Mr. Hui, his name is Han Xiufeng, and his courtesy name is Zhixing. He is the fourth eldest child in the family. He used to be a Qingqing from Ba County County Government.
I don’t know how much money I extorted from the people by lending it to the yamen for help, but I actually spent the money to donate it to a ninth-grade candidate for inspection. It was precisely because we saw that he was an official that we were not careful and allowed him to succeed."
He was vomiting and talking like he had a nose and eyes.
Du San couldn't stand listening anymore and couldn't help but ask: "Your little son said that Zhixing stole official copper. Is there any witness or physical evidence?"
"Yes, all the stolen eight hundred kilograms of official copper are on his ship. If you don't believe me, you can go to the ship and have a look!"
"Catch a thief and take away the stolen goods. So you get both the stolen goods and the thief?"
"As I said before, it can't be true, and it can't be true!" With the official making the decision, he suddenly became bolder on Tuesday, and even his words became full of confidence.
Huitu wanted to help him make the decision, but when he heard that there were eight hundred kilograms of official copper on Han Xiufeng's ship, his expression immediately changed. He subconsciously turned around and looked at the tax collectors who had gone aboard to inspect the ship in the afternoon.
Du Sanqiang suppressed his laughter and asked: "You keep saying that Han Zhixing stole official copper, but do you know how he stole it? That's eight hundred kilograms, not eight kilograms, not eighty kilograms, let alone a civil servant.
Even if a military attache like me is from the military, I won’t be able to move out for a while, aren’t you just telling lies with your eyes open?”
Tuesday said without hesitation: "He has accomplices!"
"Who are his accomplices?"
When he thought about how he was almost killed by the officers and soldiers of Kuizhou just now as a rebel who was responsible for the rebellion, and the instigator knew that it was the military attache in front of him without asking, Tuesday became furious and blurted out: "You!"
"Me?" Du San asked, dumbfounded.
"It's you, not only you, but also the big man, and the one with the rug on his back. Don't think I don't know, you are his sworn brother and his ally. The two behind you are his long-term followers,
He is also his accomplice just like you!"
At this time, the tax collector who was stared at by Hui Tu said with a bitter face: "Master Hui, I have no conscience, I really haven't seen any official copper. If you don't believe me, ask Jiang Da. If you don't believe me, ask Qian Liu!"
This was what Han Xiufeng was waiting for. He walked out from behind Wang Qianzong, took out the tax stamp from his arms, and said helplessly: "Master Hui, if it weren't for this tax stamp, and if it weren't for your testimony, I would
Even if Han Zhixing jumped into the Sichuan River today, he wouldn't be able to clean himself."
"Han Si, stop pretending..."
"Shut up!" No matter how stupid Huitu is, he understands that this is a frame-up. He even thinks of why the Tongtian King wants to frame Han Xiufeng, because Han Xiufeng plans to go to Beijing to fill the vacancy, and he must have brought a lot of money with him to frame him.
Framing a big fat sheep is more profitable than blackmailing ship owners and cargo owners on the dock.
He glared at Tuesday, turned around and said, "There are so many boats and so many people on the pier. How on earth did the official copper get onto the boats? Just ask a few boatmen to find out!"
"Master Hui is very aware of everything." Han Xiufeng raised his hand without missing a chance.
"Mr. Wang Qian, could you please bring all those boatmen, cargo owners, boatmen, and porters over here!"
"嗻!"
On Tuesday, I suddenly realized that this was Kuiguan. There were no less than a hundred large and small boats moored at the dock. There were people on almost every boat, and some boats had more than one. Just when I didn’t know how to explain, a green camp soldier came over in a hurry.
He squeezed into the crowd and half-knelt in front of General Wang Qian, and reported in shock: "Mr. Qian, our left camp's sentry horse soldier Ji Guishan and sentry soldier Jiao Erniu of the second sentry camp were chopped down by these turtles and fell into the river. They died.
There are no dead people or corpses, and I don’t know where they were swept away by the river current!”
"ah!"
"Several boatmen saw it. I...we searched for a long time but couldn't find it."
"Human life is at stake, why don't we look for it if we don't find it?" Wang Qian was so angry that he gritted his teeth and turned around and shouted: "Li Wu, take a few brothers to look for it. Old ghost, hurry up and find two boats!"
"嗻!"
Huitu was shocked and murmured: "A life has been lost..."
"Mr. Hui, human life is at stake, and the accident happened to my brother from Zuoying. I don't care about this matter because of my humble position."
"Mr. Wang Qian, what do you mean by this?"
"Until my two brothers are found, these Yunnan government servants Qingzhuang, Han Si and others cannot leave, and the same applies to personal and material evidence, including the tax collectors and tax pawns under your command, Mr. Hui."
The Qing Dynasty emphasized culture and suppressed military affairs. Although the military officers had high grades, their status was low.
Not to mention Mr. Wang Qian, even the first and second-grade officials such as admiral and general soldier cannot be compared with those of the sixth and seventh-grade Hanlin officials. As the saying goes, "Although the rank of Zhenzong is mentioned, it is no longer as valuable as it used to be. As for Qian,
If you regard Mo Yi as an official of no importance, he will be despised and disdainful of those who have the slightest sense of integrity."
Huitu didn't regard Wang Erqiang as an official at all. How could he let Wang Erqiang give orders, let alone let Wang Erqiang catch the tax collectors? He stared at Wang Erqiang and asked coldly: "Wang Qianqiang"
Boss, you want to arrest even my people?"
"Master Hui, I'm sorry. Someone died in my Zuoying camp. Even if the lawsuit goes to Xietai Futai, I, Wang Erqiang, are not afraid." President Wang Qian cupped his hands, then turned around and said, "Brothers,
Follow my orders and bring all these people back to the camp, and bring back the official copper on the ship as well!"
"嗻!"
Huitu was anxious and was about to speak when Tong Zhu quickly tugged on his sleeve.
"What are you pulling me for?"
"Let's go and talk to the side."
"What's there to say? You're actually taking people in front of me, and you're taking my people, you're trying to rebel!"
Tong Zhu looked back at General Wang Qian, who was busy instructing the green camp soldiers to escort the relevant people back to the city. He leaned into Huitu's ear and said, "Two people died in the Zuo camp, and one of them was a cavalry soldier. If he doesn't come forward,
