Chapter 118

As soon as a few coolies carrying tea entered the official hall, they knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Shangguan, we are all poor people in the surrounding counties, but we took advantage of the festival to go to the capital to work as coolies to earn a few buckets of rice, so how can we be innocent and honest!"

Han Zong looked at the few people and said silently: "Don't worry, if the matter is found to have nothing to do with you, I will let you go back. The official law will not let go of bad people, nor will it wrongly accuse the good people."

After saying that, Han Zong was going to order people to record the confessions of these coolies. When he turned around, he found that he was in a hurry and did not bring a public official from the Sansi Yamen. As for the officials in the cargo affairs, how could Han Zong dare to use this kind of thing? They accidentally tampered with the written statement and implicated himself in it.

After thinking about it, Han Zong wrote a handwritten post, but hesitated a little. Finally, he sighed secretly and called a soldier to come and said, "Take my post and ask Zheng Jian, a judge in the Yantigou Court, to come to the cargo service. Also, the head of the Yantigou Office, who is on duty in the Yantigou Office, also calls three people."

The soldiers took the order.

Han Zong ordered his subordinates to guard the goods service, the personnel took care of them, and waited quietly.

If someone is asked to interrogate someone, at least there must be a recorder next to him, otherwise it will be easy to be in vain. The army brought by the army cannot be expected. Even if someone is literate, he cannot write a case and the old officials can do such things. In the eyes of Han Zong, the public officials in the goods affairs are now suspects, and he dare not use them.

The three departments are not Kaifeng Prefecture, and they are not doing the case to solve the case and sentence them. Han Zong mainly does the matter clearly, and then write it into a document and hand it over to Kaifeng Prefecture with the person.

To find out the matter clearly, you must check the accounts, so Han Zong called Zheng Jian. What Gouyuan does is this kind of thing, and many accounts are only available in them.

The problem is that Zheng Jian and Han Zong sighed helplessly.

Unlike Han Zong, who came from a family of officials, Zheng Jian was born in Gu Han. His father passed away very early. He studied hard in the second year of Tiansheng. Zheng Jian was decisive and bold. The most serious thing was that he was generous to the poor in the lower class and hated evil to the powerful and wealthy families. The matter involved the intersection shop, and no background, which was like giving Zheng Jian a shot of stimulant.

It’s not that Han Zong is afraid of the powerful and dare not investigate the case. The key is that at this time, the Emperor and the people are happy together. Moreover, this is the first Shangyuan Festival after the emperor took power, and he has to spend it safely. No matter what happens, he has to wait until the festival is over. When Zheng Jian comes, he is really unsure whether he can suppress the matter first.

The sun finally struggled out of the clouds, and the fog began to slowly dissipate. Kaifeng City seemed to be washed away by water, and the whole thing was bright.

Five days after today, Kaifeng City has been brightly lit every night, and everyone in the city has to visit and see the lights. Therefore, although the weather is so good today, there are still no pedestrians on the street in the early morning, and everyone is waiting for the arrival of the night.

As soon as several officials on duty in the Salt and Iron Department received the order from Han Zong, they hurried to the goods service. Han Zong was in charge of five cases and was closely related to everyone's interests. None of these public officials dared not take his order seriously.

None of the three officials rode their horses and walked quickly on the Bian River in the early morning. The sun in the east sky was like a big fireball, red and cute.

As soon as they left the inner city, they had not yet walked far away when the three of them heard noisy sounds coming from behind.

Looking back, he saw that Zheng Jian was wearing an official robe and carrying more than a dozen public officials in the Salt and Iron Gouyuan, strode forward. It was still the tail of winter, and Zheng Jian's forehead was covered with sweat in the morning.

The three public officials hurriedly stood on the side of the road and waited for Zheng Jian to come up and bow together.

Zheng Jian recognized the three of them and shouted loudly: "Do you three want to go to the goods service?"

The three of them replied: "Report to the verdict, Judge Han sent someone to call us."

"Okay, I'm taking people over, so you guys will go with me!"

After saying that, Zheng Jian turned around and hurried forward.

When he got the Korean general post, Zheng Jian's horse was just instructed to take his servant home. Without waiting for the horse to come back, he clicked a small official in the yard to come straight. Even the official who was resting at home today, Zheng Jian also posted and called him together.

In the only open transfer shop, the two supervisors on duty were talking casually, but when they saw the team of members from the Yantigouyuan entering the goods service, their faces became solemn.

One said: "Why did Zheng Jue Gou come to this Killing Star? Things are a bit difficult."

Another said: "This killer is dedicated to us, and we will definitely not give up. I am here to guard you, so you can ask the Grand Master how to deal with it."

In the residence, Master Liu listened quietly to the head of the Jieshi shop telling Zheng Jian about the arrival of Zheng Jian. After he finished speaking, he slowly said: "Let's relax. No matter how good he has, the account will be found. You go back and stay in the store together, don't panic. When the official asked, he would bite to death because the Jieshi shop had been checked yesterday. There was no time to move tea. Today, I asked someone to move the tea out of the business. There was no other problem."

The supervisor said: "I'm afraid that Zheng Jue will not believe it. That person is cruel and ruthless and may use some means."

"What can he do? He is just checking the account, not Kaifeng Prefecture to determine the case, can he still torture you? As long as he bites his words to death, it is nothing more than handling the public officials in the defrauding of goods, and there is no big deal!"

Seeing that Master Liu was so confident, the supervisor gradually felt relieved and said goodbye and left.

It was not until the supervisor was not seen that Master Liu's expression darkened. Fake accounts are fake accounts. Even if they are done seamlessly, there are loopholes. It only depends on whether they have the determination and whether they can find out.

No one would doubt Zheng Jian's determination, but he had only been to Gouyuan for a few months and had not yet figured out the tricks inside. As for the public officials under him, Liu Taishi himself was from the Three Sessions, and he did not believe that Zheng Jian could grasp it.

To be able to achieve this today, Master Liu has his own people in every yamen in the capital, even in the Yantigouyuan, there are officials who obey his commands. As long as Zheng Jian's methods do not reach the level of an elderly official, Zheng Jian will be helpless. Is this job so easy to check the account?

However, Zheng Jian is famous, Master Liu is still panicked and can't settle down.

After entering the goods service, Zheng Jian took his men to the official office and met with Han Zong.

Han Zong said: "I didn't expect Tianxiu to come so timely. I was about to send someone to check the warehouses in the goods service, but I was suffering from insufficient staff. You brought someone here, but it was just right."
