In order to prevent Han Qing from not understanding, he bit the word "Fu Zun" very hard.
The Song Dynasty implemented a three-level administrative division of roads, states, and counties, and prefectures were special cases. Only the capital, the accompanying capital, the birthplace of the monarch, and the state located in the center of the region could be called prefectures.
Therefore, there are more than 200 prefectures in the country, but only fourteen prefectures. Officials who can take charge of a prefecture must start at least fourth grade, which is much higher than ordinary prefectural governors. (Note: The official system of the Song Dynasty is far more complicated than this. The novel is written
is a simplified process.)
Moreover, officials sent by the imperial court to control a government often had a very high virtual title in the central government, and had the power to write memorials directly to the emperor, but the central departments were not allowed to withhold memorials.
In other words, the Yan family in Qingzhou is a top-notch wealthy family in the local area. Anyone who understands the rules of officialdom will not easily provoke them.
In the eyes of Yan Guanshi, Han Qing is either rich or noble. He and the head of the Yan family are both scholar-bureaucrats and one of his own. There is no need to offend one of his own for the sake of two common people who meet by chance!
It's a pity that Yan Guanshi's good intentions are destined to be in vain. In Han Qing's eyes, there is no difference between scholar-bureaucrats and common people.
For the sake of strict etiquette, he patiently listened to this person's words, and then waved his hands with a smile: "She slandered the Yan family, you should go to the government to sue her instead of arresting her directly. Otherwise,
It will inevitably affect the reputation of your palace lord. As for the escaped slaves, let’s do this. You can show me the deeds of sale of their brothers and sisters and verify them. If they match the numbers, I will let you take them away immediately!”
"My lord, you, you want to play tricks on Yan?" It was originally a temporary excuse. How could Manager Yan have the marriage contract between the brother and sister? Even if he colluded with the government to forge it now, it was too late. Suddenly,
Anger surged in my heart.
"You have something to say, why am I teasing you? I don't know you!" Han Qing rolled his eyelids and responded with a sneer. Then he quickly turned his eyes to the girl and asked softly, "You are a local here.
Is it still far from Qingzhou City?”
"If I want to return to my benefactor, the slave family is less than thirty miles away from here in Liujiazhuang. It is still about fifty miles away from the east gate of Qingzhou City." The girl instinctively shrank her body back, but she quickly grew stronger.
I had the courage to respond in very standard Song Dynasty Mandarin.
"I'm going to Qingzhou and I need a guide. Are you brothers and sisters willing to show me the way?" Han Qing smiled kindly and continued to ask softly.
In the wilderness, the cover of thick fog was lost. If the girl and her brother left the convoy, they would be captured by the Yan family in the blink of an eye. Therefore, Han Qing simply found an excuse to keep the two brothers and sister with him.
"Yes, we brothers and sisters are willing!" The girl was very smart and immediately knew that this was the only way to escape. She decisively bowed and saluted, "The slave's elder brother's name is Liu Mubai, and the slave's name is Xue'er. They are willing to be my benefactor's guide and are ready to be dispatched at any time.
!”
"Then you go back to the car. When you reach the fork in the road, I will send someone to call you out to guide you!" Han Qing smiled again and nodded lightly.
The only official road is at your feet. As long as you keep walking along it, you will definitely reach Qingzhou. Where can I get a guide to show the way? However, he hired the Liu family brothers and sisters, and even the charge of "harboring" was eliminated, which made the Qingzhou Yan family think
I can't find a starting point even if I make an article.
Immediately, the girl bowed gratefully and turned around to return to the carriage. The strict manager was furious.
"My noble man, are you deliberately trying to protect two escaped slaves?" Feeling that he couldn't bear it anymore, Manager Yan took a few steps forward, pointed at Han Qing's nose and asked, "You know, this is Qingzhou... ah!"
Before he could finish his threatening words, Wu Er had already pounced on him, grabbed his arm, and gave him a big slap on his back. The other four veterans of the Suppression Army pounced on him in tacit understanding, and pinned him firmly.
"Let him go, there's no need!" Han Qing's words came immediately afterward, but they were not in response to Supervisor Yan's questioning, but instead instructing Wu Er and others to stay out of trouble.
"Follow your orders!" Wu Er and others immediately stepped back, throwing Yan Guanshi on the ground and not paying any attention to him. Li Yu commanded more than thirty brothers to quickly form an array beside the carriage to prevent Yan Guanshi's men.
Those blind servants rushed over and threatened Han Qing's safety.
In fact, Li Yu's worries were completely unnecessary. Although those servants were usually domineering, they recognized the knives in the hands of Wu Er and others. Therefore, they just shouted a few times from a distance, but the mounts did not dare to move at all.
.
"You, you..." In just three or four snaps of his fingers, Yan Guanshi got up from the ground. He did not dare to point at anyone with his hands anymore, and stammered with confusion on his face,
"Who are you? Whose son are you? But, do you dare to leave behind the name of your father? We, our Qingzhou Yan family, will definitely write to your father to inform you of what you did today."
It's not to blame that he has bad eyesight. Han Qing has always been young and has a tender face. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a young man from a wealthy family who travels.
Han Qing's guard of honor as a fifth-rank official was handed over to Dou Sha some time ago in order to conceal his identity from others. At this moment, there are no identification marks at the front and rear of the motorcade. No matter what, people will identify him and the legendary man who broke into the tiger's den alone to help Li Dezhao.
Judge Han, who is in charge, is not up to par.
What's more, with the speed of information dissemination in this era, it would be difficult for everyone in Qingzhou to know what happened in Xiazhou in less than half a year.
"You don't need to leave your father behind. If your master thinks that I have humiliated him, you can come to me directly!" Han Qing heard this, but immediately saw through the careful thoughts of strict management, and shook his head with a sneer, "My surname is Han.
, the single name is Qing, and his surname is from Bianliang. He will live in Qingzhou City for a long time."
After saying that, he ignored Manager Yan, quickly turned around, and ordered Wu Er and others, "Let's go, thirty miles away, let's work harder and try to settle down in the city before dark!"
"As ordered!" Wu Er and others agreed, and they dispersed and lined up to guard the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, the motorcade started slowly and continued heading east, treating Yan Guan's house and the Yan family's servants not far away as clay and wood sculptures.
"Crazy man, bold maniac. The Qingzhou Yan family will never allow you to be so humiliated!" Seeing that the convoy had walked a certain distance, Manager Yan finally regained some courage, jumped on his feet, and raised his hand towards the convoy.
The smoke and dust roared.
"Second Master, Second Master! Don't be angry, don't be angry, this man can't be arrogant for more than a few days!" The rest of the servants also became energetic, rushing to the side of Yan Guanshi, comforting each other, "A little outsider.
You bastard, you don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.”
"I thought that by hiding in Qingzhou City, I could escape the clutches of the second master. Second master, go back and tell the old master. Send a post to the prefect and ask him to come and bear the bramble to plead guilty!"
"Yes, send the message to the prefect!" (Note: The prefect, among the people in the Song Dynasty, usually called the prefect of the state as the prefect.)
"Let him know who is the king here in Qingzhou!"
…
"Steward, the Liu family brothers and sisters know a lot of secrets about our Yan family. Now they are in the hands of others..." There was only one short and thin servant who was relatively thoughtful and lowered his voice to remind Steward Yan.
"Yan Shiqi, go back and report to the old man and tell him truthfully what happened today!" Manager Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately stopped caring about finding a way out for himself. He frowned and began to "dispatch troops."
Will".
"Yan Wu, take my post and go to Qingzhou City to find Mr. Wang, saying that you found two followers of the Chunyang Sect hiding in the convoy of a passing young man. Ask him to arrest them!"
"Others, come with me and follow the convoy. I want to see who they are and dare to disturb my Yan family?"
