Looking at the strong men around him, and the young man opposite had a gloomy face, Cao Hao really couldn't cry or laugh.

He and Tang Zhiyu, a governor and a political envoy, ran into a "black shop" and were blackmailed in person. He didn't mean to show his identity, although this is a joke today, but if it spreads, I don't know what he will be dressed in.

In officialdom, there is no shortage of people who have nothing to do.

He just glanced at the young man, and then said to Tang Zhiyu and Liang Chuanfu: "Benefit, mutual life, since you want to wait for someone from the yamen, then let's sit down for a while?" ”

Liang Chuanfu was born in the army, where would he put a few local snakes in front of him in his eyes. Even if everyone doesn't show their identities, just relying on the dozen or so Jingwei who followed, they won't be afraid of these ruffians.

Tang Zhiyu was annoyed, but he was not only annoyed by being "blackmailed", but also angered by the Jinghai County Order. The young man in front of him is so fearless, it can be seen that he is very familiar with the yamen. He wanted to wait for the county government officials to arrive, confirm it, and then make a decision.

So, after listening to Cao Hao's words, these two responded, and turned around with Cao Hao and went back to the private room.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the young man was stunned.

The guests who were usually slaughtered were either trembling and ruining their fortunes to avoid disasters, or they were angry and moved their hands.

Even if the idea is hard, this young man is not afraid.

In this Jinghai County, there is really no one he is afraid of.

He was just arrogant, not a brainless person, thinking that Cao Hao was speaking an official language, he faintly felt a little uneasy, turned around, and glared at the shopkeeper behind him fiercely.

This "high price" is the main thing for the shopkeeper, seeing that Zhang Yi didn't give it, and the two tables outside were not like good stubble, so he hurriedly invited this young man to come to the town.

The shopkeeper saw that he was annoyed, so he hurriedly bowed his body and whispered: "Third master, the small one can't do it, there have been no outsiders in the store for a few months, and as soon as Zheng Ye's case came out, everyone who heard the news avoided it......

When the young man saw that the door of the box was closed, he felt that he had been skinned, and his little uneasiness turned into anger, and his face became more and more gloomy.

The restaurant is not far from the county government, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to work, Xia Quan and Lu Danggan brought a few catchers over.

The head of the catcher was a fat man, in his thirties, with a smile on his face, he originally talked to Xia Quan and Lu Daxing, but when he saw the young man, he immediately stopped his voice, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the third master for a long time, and the little one has asked the third master to say goodbye." ”

The third master was already impatient, and he didn't have time to take care of him, so he pointed to the box and said, "The guys who eat white food are inside, Jiang Zhutou will watch it!" ”

Jiang Zhutou is older in the end, and he has a little more knowledge than this "third master", although he didn't show Xia Quan and Lu Dadao along the way, but that Beijing accent can't be wrong.

He stammered the "third master" on his face, but he was happy that the "third master" was unlucky, where did he offend people with plainness, and was thinking about how to phrase it, but the "third master" couldn't wait, and raised his voice: "There is someone from the yamen, why don't you settle the bill quickly, do you have to hand over the form?" ”

Before the words fell, the door of the box had been opened, and Cao Hao and the other three people left the box.

Jiang Putou glanced at the three of them, and his heart chuckled.

This Tianjin Wei is the "three regardless" boundary, located in Hejian Mansion, Baoding Mansion, Shuntian Mansion junction place, although he was in the county government as an errand, but he was fortunate to go to the surrounding several mansions, seriously saw a few officials.

The three people who came out of the box looked very human.

Although Cao Hao was a little interested in how these officials in front of him would respond, he was reluctant to come forward to argue with them, so he motioned for Zhang Yi to come forward to cook.

At this moment, Zhang Yi had already extinguished his previous anger.

He had already seen that his lord did not show his identity, but asked someone to call the official to send him, which was nothing more than to confirm whether there was "collusion between officials and businessmen", so he said the matter in a few words, and then looked at the head catcher and said: "Since the county government is here, how should this matter be handled, and please ask this lord to call the shots?" ”

Jiang Zhutou has already seen that these people who come out of the box are the ones who can call the shots.

Seeing that they ignored themselves and made others speak, the speculation in his heart was more and more confirmed, and the identities of these people were not ordinary, he became more and more respectful in his heart.

But this "third master" has hands and eyes all over the sky, and it is not something he can offend, so he has to say bitterly: "If you can reconcile, I still hope that you can turn the conflict into a jade silk; If the mediation fails, you can only ask the county lord to come forward. ”

Seeing that he didn't have too much favoritism, Cao Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Zhiyu is upright, and he can't rub sand in his eyes, if this Jinghai County Order is really inappropriate, I'm afraid he will make a big move.

The water is clear and does not raise fish, and the officialdom of Zhili involves too much, which is not something that Tang Zhiyu can stir.

Even if there is Yongzheng's support now, so that Tang Zhiyu can be cleared, it will not be able to be long-term, and maybe Tang Zhiyu, who is tired, will lose his official position.

Cao Hao was very satisfied with Tang Zhiyu, and naturally wanted to cooperate for two more years.

Tang Zhiyu frowned more and more, Zhang Yi had already made it clear that this shop was blackmailing at a sky-high price, and he even proposed a "reconciliation" and brought out the "county respect".

If it weren't for their line, there were several civil and military officials, and if they were ordinary people, they could only suffer this dumb loss.

Tang Zhiyu was dissatisfied, and the "third master" was even more dissatisfied.

He glared at Jiang Kuai deeply, and said, "Paying the bills for dinner, paying off debts, it's just right, what else needs to be mediated?" ”

Jiang Zhutou laughed twice, and retreated to the side with a few catchers, no longer speaking.

The scene calmed down suddenly, and Zhang Yi looked at Cao Hao.

After reading it, Cao Hao was a little impatient and said to Zhang Yi: "Check out!" ”

Everyone was stunned, even Zhang Yi was stunned, looking at Cao Hao and not responding.

It was Cao Hao who said again, and Zhang Yi answered and went to find the shopkeeper to pay the bill.

Seeing Cao Hao's order, the "third master" showed a little ridicule on his face, and wanted to sneer twice, but swallowed it back, only snorted coldly, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to get out of the way.

Jiang Zhukuai seemed to be quite afraid of this "third master", and Cao Hao and the others walked out of the restaurant first.

"My lord, can you just allow such villains to run rampant?" When he got out of the restaurant, Tang Zhiyu couldn't help it, stepped forward, and asked in a low voice.

Cao Hao smiled and said, "Even if you know that person is inappropriate, you have to have all the physical evidence." ”

Tang Zhiyu was confused, so he saw Cao Hao pointing to a writing stall in front of him, and said to Zhang Yi: "Take you as the sufferer, write a detailed statement, and then inquire about the background of the restaurant owner, and send it to the county government later." ”

Zhang Yi responded, but Tang Zhiyu hesitated and said: "My lord, look at this person who is unscrupulous in front of the officials, he must have something to rely on, Jinghai County may not be innocent......"

When Cao Hao heard this, his heart moved.

When Tang Zhiyu went to Jinghai, half of them were for the livelihood of the fishermen by the sea, and half of them were for the inspection of local officials, and he must have made his own decision in his heart.

Cao Hao thought for a while and said, "I came with Yigong, but just to see if the military affairs below and the local affairs are decided by Yigong." ”

Tang Zhiyu listened, but did not shirk, and suggested that he go to the county government for a while and take a look at the people's livelihood first.

Cao Hao had no objection, and everyone went back to the inn first.

As a result, the paper was not sent to the county office. The identity of the "third master", Zhang Yi inquired about it.

The "third master" is called Li Pengju, his grandfather was the prefect of Hubei, and he has accumulated a large family business, and he is one of the best families in Jinghai.

His father was not an official, he was a local celebrity, and he donated an alternate prefect, and even Li Pengju donated the background of Qipin Zhixian County, and he also met with him in a courtesy manner when he saw the Jinghai County Order.

Li Pengju's two elder brothers, one was an official in Beijing and the other was an official in Hejian Prefecture. His brother-in-law is the Qianhu of Tianjin Wei.

When the Jinghai County Commander first arrived in Jinghai, he was struggling, but later he went to the Li family to ask the old lady for peace, and with the support of the Li family, the government decree was passed.

Recently, for some reason, the county order and the Li family turned their faces, and the relationship became deadlocked.

The next time, Cao Hao and Tang Zhiyu brought a few entourage guards and changed to several teahouses with many families to eat tea, so as to listen to the rumors.

Obviously, the reputation of this Jinghai County Order is very bad.

After half a day's effort, Cao Hao and Tang Zhiyu had already heard several people chanting about the Jinghai County Order, saying that this county lord was bold enough, and in order to make money, Tianli didn't want his conscience.

He also said that Zhang Yu's death was unjust, obviously because after her husband was broken, she became angry and killed people, but the county respected the money from her husband, but instead settled the case with her husband as a murderer.

Listening to this, Cao Hao and Tang Zhiyu both changed their faces.

Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, human nature, is not a big problem; If you ignore the law and ignore human life, you really deserve death.

Out of the teahouse, Tang Zhiyu's face was already pale, and when he saw Cao Hao, he said: "My lord, people's lives are at stake, I'm afraid I have to go to the county government." ”

Cao Hao understood the intention of his move, the rumors in the market could not be trusted, and he had to go to the county office to read the file before he could peel off the cocoon and see if it was an unjust case.

He nodded and said, "It's okay, this Jinghai County Commander went to the Governor's Mansion at the beginning of his appointment last year, and I just went to the capital and didn't meet." If you go to the county office, you will show the identity of Yigong, and you will save too much movement and disturb the officials outside. ”

When Tang Zhiyu heard this, he hesitated a little and said, "My lord, the identity of the lower official, checking the case file, is a little overstepping......

After all, he is only a political envoy, in charge of government administration and civil affairs, and pays attention to criminal files, which is a bit out of bounds.

The reason why he paid attention to whether there were grievances in the case was not to meddle in the errand of the judge, but to confirm whether the Jinghai County Order violated the law and discipline.

Cao Hao listened and said, "It's okay, I will say hello to the inspector Si Na later, and say that I have encountered this matter, and I order you to check ......."

* The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

In front of the throne, kneeling were two military department scholars.

Yongzheng sat on the throne, his face full of iron.

Fortunately, he had been on guard for a long time, and when he knew that Zhunger was hooking up with Russia, he ordered General Heilongjiang to pay attention to the border, and specially added 300 musketeers to resist the Russians' turn.

Russia sent troops to invade the border, saying that it was not to start a war with the Qing Dynasty, but to redraw the border.

It's just taking advantage of the instability in the northwest to rob while the fire is ongoing......
