"Finally done, I'm exhausted!" Three days later in the morning, Han Qing sat in the main hall of the Crane Control Department, yawning and sighing. The brand new fifth-grade official uniform could not hide the tiredness on his face.
Tired, not ordinary tired.
When he was following Kou Zhun, Han Qing didn't realize how complicated the etiquette for new officials was when they took office. Now that he had changed places and had a different boss, he suddenly realized that there were so many formalities from arriving in Qingzhou to officially exercising power. Walk.
Although Wang Qinruo, the economic and strategic pacification envoy, has always been known as a good old man, although Ding Wei, the transfer envoy, laughs and calls himself a friend of his uncle, General Han Chongxun of the Youlong Military Army, although other colleagues have heard of what he did in the Yongxing Army. He didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble for himself. It took Han Qing three days to go through the entire appointment process.
Therefore, when he was finally able to exercise his powers of raising some criminal matters and being a judge of the Crane Control Bureau, it was already the morning of the fourth day. But there were so many things that needed to be done, and it was a mess no matter where he started.
"Judge, there is a Confucian scholar named Yan Xicheng, who claims to be your junior, and is asking for an audience at the side door!" Before he could finish stretching for the first time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Fan walked quickly with a gilded name card in hand. Came in.
"Junior? Where did I get this junior in Qingzhou? Just send him away!" No need to guess, Han Qing also knew that this guy named Yan Xicheng came here to ease the relationship. Therefore, he waved his hand without hesitation.
"Yes!" Zhang Fan bowed to accept the order, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he took a few steps forward and added in a very low voice, "He said that his father also studied at Taixue, just like you. Become a disciple of Zheng Jijiu. Also..."
After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "He also brought Yan Siren, the second housekeeper of the Yan Mansion, in a carriage. According to him, he broke both legs using family methods to punish the slaves and bully the master! "
"What?!" Han Qing was shocked, and immediately placed his palms on the table in front of him.
Frankly speaking, he had no sympathy for the second housekeeper Yan Siren at all. He forcibly kidnapped the Liu brothers and sisters in broad daylight. After he stopped them, he secretly colluded with Wang De, the governor of Qingzhou, and tried to frame him for harboring fugitives!
It was him that day, but if it had been another traveler, or even a young man from a wealthy family who came out to play, he would have been tortured to death by the joint efforts of Yan Siren and Wang De, and he might even have been involved in an unjust lawsuit.
Such bully villains are not worthy of sympathy no matter what tragic end they end up with. However, the one who has the power to deal with Yan Siren should be the law of the Song Dynasty, but it should not be a word from a certain young man in the Han Dynasty!
"I have heard about similar things in Fangzhou before. I disposed of my own evil slave and showed it to the other party!" I was afraid that Han Qing lacked experience and could not see through Yan's tricks. Dou Rong's uncle Li Yu stood at the He stood up and reminded in a low voice, "There are only two purposes for doing this. The first is to express the sincerity of the apology. The second is, haha, it is a demonstration!"
"Demonstration?" Han Qing quickly turned her head to him and asked in a low voice.
"I'll stab myself first, so you can see how cruel it is. It's a common tactic of gangsters! If you switch to a wealthy family, change your appearance. If you don't want to stab yourself, switch to a domestic slave who stabs you underneath!" Wu Er took over and explained with a sneer. .
At this time, Han Qing completely understood the other party's intentions and immediately shook his head with a sneer.
As for Zhang Fan, his temper was as cautious as when he was an archer. He thought for a while and continued to add with all his heart: "I have heard from my subordinates that the ancestors of the Yan family once sworn sworn relatives to Zhao Pu, the founding prime minister. The Song Dynasty pacified the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the ancestors of the Yan family helped.
He put in a lot of effort in organizing food, grass and supplies. Therefore, he was granted the title of County Duke of the founding of the country. The previous head of the Yan family and the head's younger brother had both served under Pan Mei's account. They were made marquises for their military exploits and were granted the title of County Duke according to customary practices when they became officials.
The current head of the Yan family was once ordered to know Henan Prefecture (Luoyang), and he became an official five years ago. The eldest son of the current head of the family, Yan Dehou, once studied at Taixue, and now he is ordered to know Shaoxing Prefecture!"
There are three princes in one clan, and there is also a current prefect. Their strength is not weaker than that of the Han clan in Bianliang.
Coupled with the ruthless intention to "insert a knife in oneself", for Han Qing, the best choice at this moment is to get off the slope and send someone to welcome Yan Xicheng to the second hall, and then use his "Uncle Master"
In name, with a pretentious scolding, the two parties became their own people from then on!
With the cooperation of the Qingzhou Yan Family, Han Qing will definitely be even more powerful, whether it is dealing with the "Chun Yang Cult" or sorting out long-standing unsolved cases on Jingdong East Road.
After serving for three years, I want to have political achievements, a good reputation, and a steady profit without losing money.
However, as a result, the case of the Liu brothers and sisters' father, as well as the case of shop owner Luo Huaisheng accusing the Yan family scholar of occupying his property and wife, must be considered separately!
As a scholar-bureaucrat, it seems that Han Qing has no need to challenge the towering tree of Qingzhou Yan family on behalf of a few strangers.
He may not be able to sway the other party. Even if he can produce real evidence of Yan's crime, the other party can just find a few more "slaves" like today, throw them at his yamen door, and then continue to do "one thing"
Waiting for good people."
"I know you are selfless!" Wang Wu and Zhang Fan came from different backgrounds and have similar experiences. In most cases, they look at problems from the same perspective. After thinking about it, they took the initiative to suggest, "But after all, you are new here.
A smear of darkness. It is not appropriate to make the relationship with the Han family too rigid now. It will not be too late to wait for a while and wait until we have established a firm foothold in Qingzhou to take action!"
"I'm afraid that the people surnamed Yan don't really want to ease the relationship. They are retreating in order to advance. If they are easily let off with the punishment, they will have other tricks waiting behind them!" Li Yu's point of view is similar to Zhang Fan's.
, Wang Wu was different, he frowned and retorted in a low voice.
"Although Ti Xing has two yamen and all the people under his command, there are only about a hundred of us." Zhang Fan thought for a moment and shook his head gently, "And, in the opinion of my subordinates, no matter Wang Jinglue or Ding
None of the transfer envoys seemed willing to support Ti Xing. Especially Wang Jinglue. When Ti Xing visited him these days, he seemed to have been telling Ti Xing to be cautious and not to break the local rules.
of stability!”
"Hmph——" Li Yu snorted coldly from his nose and no longer insisted on his opinion.
Zhang Fan's words are correct. As Han Qing's direct subordinates and the backbone of the two new yamen, they have been following Han Qing for the past three days, visiting their superiors and colleagues. They can clearly feel that Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei and others are very interested in
Han Qing himself, as well as the attitudes of the two yamen, the Prison Department and the Crane Control Bureau.
It cannot be said that Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei are giving Han Qing power, but don't expect these two people to give Han Qing absolute support like Kou Zhun did last year.
Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei, the word they mentioned the most in front of Han Qing these days was stability. Even if Han Qing does nothing, as long as the local government continues to be stable, it will be a great achievement!
"So what if there are few people? Think about it, Han Tixing could still kill those bastards on Yongxing Military Road by himself back then!" In the entire hall, the only one who had no scruples was Wu Er. Seeing Zhang Fan, Wang Wu
The others looked forward and backward, and couldn't help but twist their noses and said.
After the words fell, Zhang Fan and Wang Wu suddenly became anxious. They both turned their gazes to him and retorted loudly, "That's different? On Yongxing Military Road, our patrol was forced to a dead end. And now..."
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I'm back. Please tell my sister quickly that I'm not running around. I'm helping you wholeheartedly!" Before he could finish his sentence, Dou Sha had already rushed in, no matter who was there.
At the scene, he waved his arms and begged Han Qing, "I'm really not running around, I went to pay a private visit incognito. Shopkeeper Luo who stopped your carriage a few days ago to complain didn't lie. His shop was indeed owned by the eldest son of the Yan family.
The book boy was taken over by him. His wife also married the book boy from Yan Mansion and became a concubine. He and two confidants were attacked in the wild, and his body was inspected by the county government. All the neighbors thought he was dead.
, who knew he would actually hide among the beggars and endure it until now!"
"Okay, I'll testify for you that you are indeed helping me!" Han Qing immediately stood up, walked forward, and gently touched Dou Sha's forehead, "Go wash your face and have a snack. I'll help you in a moment.
You bear witness."
"Hey -" Dou Sha was so proud that he cupped his hands and walked away.
Looking at his sunny back, Han Qing took a deep breath, turned his head to everyone, and no longer hesitated, "I have just arrived, and it is not convenient for me to interact with the local gentry now. Zhang Fan, please go for me.
I replied to Mr. Yan with kind words. As for the steward of the Yan Mansion, since Mr. Yan has sent all the people here, I have to acknowledge his kindness. Wang Wu, please take him to the Yamen of Konghe Division and ask the doctor to take good care of him.
.I just need to check with Manager Yan about the case at hand!"
