Luo Guo had lived his entire life, and this was the first time he saw his parents. In the past, he had never even had a chance to see his parents, let alone the parents who had smiled at him just now.
Just like that, Luo Guo felt unprecedented satisfaction and sigh. In the past, when the county magistrate walked on the road, even if he met him, he would not look at him twice, let alone greet him kindly.
When he originally knew that Han Du was Jinghaibo, he didn't have a deep understanding of what the title of Jinghaibo represented. After all, these things were too far away from his life. He only knew Jinghaibobi County.
The Grand Master’s official position is bigger.
But now he really felt Jing Haibo's power. He was just a commoner. Just because he stood beside Jing Haibo, it was enough for the county magistrate to treat him as an equal.
"How have you arranged the recruitment of corvees?" Han Du continued to ask.
Zou Xing quickly lowered his head and replied: "Please rest assured, Uncle Jinghai, the official has made arrangements. It will take at most three days to recruit all the corvees in the county for my uncle to drive."
Han Du shook his head lightly, "It's too slow. Uncle Ben doesn't have that much time to waste."
According to Luo Guo, now is the best time for fishing. Every day of delay means one less day of fishing. The amount of fish that can be caught on this day must be huge, and Han Du doesn't want to waste anything.
"Tomorrow! You must mobilize the corvee craftsmen here to start building the plank road."
Zou Xing suddenly looked embarrassed and said with difficulty, "Returning to my uncle is not a matter of excuse. In fact, some of the corvees are too far away from here, and it is impossible to gather them together in one day."
For those who are far away, let alone let them come here. Just sending someone to notify them will take a day on the road.
One day, it was really difficult for him.
But Han Du was resolute and had no intention of giving in.
But this is the way it is in this era. Communication relies on shouting, and traveling relies on walking. Unless it is a very small county, such as the counties in the Zhili area around the capital, it is possible to recruit corvettes in one day. The more remote the place, the more difficult it is for a county
The larger the area.
After thinking for a while, Han Du said: "Then, as many as you can gather tomorrow, send them over to start construction. Since you said you can gather them all within three days, then I will see all the corvee craftsmen in three days.
it's here."
"Yes." Zou Xing was unambiguous at this time and agreed immediately. Thank God for being able to find a compromise, and he didn't dare to neglect it.
Seeing that Han Du had no other instructions, Zou Xing hesitated for a moment. He smiled and said, "On behalf of the whole county, I would like to thank my uncle for removing a big harm to the county. I have already arranged for Bo Jiu. I don't know if my uncle will appreciate it."
?”
"What's the big harm? Why didn't I know?" Han Du turned around and smiled, asking knowingly.
Zou Xing straightened his expression and bowed his hands, "Unknown to me, this county actually hides a great harm like Lu Jian. If my uncle hadn't caught him and brought him to justice, I don't know how long he would have been able to get away with it. Alas, that's right.
The lower officials failed to observe and were deceived by the people below. They did not realize this serious harm as soon as possible, so that the people of the whole county have been suffering for a long time."
As he said that, he took out a stack of papers, held them in both hands, and handed them to Han Du with his head bowed. "The official's negligence led to Lu Jian colluding with the subordinates to block all the papers from the people to accuse him. These are the papers from the people to accuse Lu Jian."
, please let me have a look."
Zou Xing was secretly pleased with himself. Fortunately, he had a hobby of collecting paper. Although these pieces of paper were very vulgar, he kept them because of a sudden impulse. Now, they come in handy.
As for Lu Jian colluding with subordinates to intercept the papers, that is naturally nonsense. These papers were delivered to him in time, but he did not interfere with them.
However, since he had given up even Lu Jian, Zou Xing didn't mind giving up another subordinate.
Han Du took the petition paper over with a smile and flipped through a few of them. They were all suing Lu Jian. There were everything in them. Some were suing Lu Jian for running rampant in the countryside, and some were suing him for bullying good people.
Someone sued him for occupying someone's property...
What's even more valuable is that the new and old papers are in different colors. You can tell at a glance that these papers are not fake, but real papers.
Han Du glanced at it for a few times, then suddenly closed the paper and remained silent, his face as dark as water.
Zou Xing's body under his official uniform couldn't help but tremble, as if his heart was in his throat. Whether he can pass the test, whether he lives or dies, depends on the next moment.
Han Du was very unhappy. Although the charges in these petitions were all about Lu Jian, without Magistrate Zou, how could Lu Jian have done so many illegal things? Therefore, these
The magistrate Zou in front of him is also guilty of the crime.
But Han Du was hesitant to take down Magistrate Zou now. Although Han Du was an earl, he did not have the right to punish the magistrate at will. Of course, if Han Du wanted to have his own way, he would not
It's all right. At most, if you go back afterwards, you will be punished by Lao Zhu.
Secondly, the most important thing now is fishing. Every day of delay will lead to a huge loss of fish. If Zou County Magistrate is replaced now, even if someone takes over immediately, it will not be possible in a short time.
Organize the corvee construction of the plank road internally.
After thinking again and again, Han Du looked at Magistrate Zou with his head lowered in front of him. He suddenly laughed and said, "It's not a crime to be ignorant. Magistrate Zou is also a human being, not a Bodhisattva with thousands of hands and eyes. It is impossible to keep an eye on the whole world all the time."
County, it is understandable to be deceived by the people below."
"Yes, yes, yes," Zou Xing was immediately overjoyed. He knew that he had passed this test.
He quickly responded: "Thank you Jing Haibo for being reasonable. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. But no matter what, if something like this happened, I will be responsible for all the negligence."
What kind of crime is an oversight? At most, you get a few words of reprimand from your boss, and you don’t even need to pay a salary. Even if you have a good relationship with your boss, you don’t even get reprimanded, and the matter is revealed in just one sentence.
Immediately, Zou Xing looked righteous and said righteously: "But now that I know about it, I will not let Lu Jian go unpunished. Lu Jian's crime is extremely heinous. How should I be sentenced? Please tell me how to sentence him."
How can we turn Lu Jian's case into a solid case? It's very simple, involve Jing Haibo in front of him.
Zou Xing asked Han Du to tell him that instead of being polite to Han Du, he was digging a hole for Han Du.
As long as Han Du says a word about how to decide the case, then whenever anyone asks about this case, Zou Xing will say that this is Jing Haibo's intention, and he will kill him with ease. In this way
Come on, no one will dare to overturn this case unless Han Du falls.
