This arrangement is just a precaution, Liu Han doesn't think that Lu Qiao Yuwen and them are so stupid, Tang Long is just a small character, it doesn't hurt to live or die, he really hopes that these gate valves in Yangzhou will take action.

The next day, he didn't go to the meeting held by Gu Wei, he was still at the gate of the camp, and the county orders and county officials of the five counties arrived one after another, and everyone was worried about the country and the people.

The little official sitting at the door is still the one from yesterday, his name is Hong Yang, he is also very bored, it is his turn to greet the county commanders at the door, and it is Chao Yu who is standing at the gate of the Qin Chaxing camp.

"That's Yandu County Commander Mingxian and County Cheng Zhang He, Mingxian is a protégé of the Zhang family, and Zhang He is a descendant of the Zhang family. ”

"That's Hucheng County Commander Zhu Kang and County Cheng Liu Xiang, this Zhu Kang used to study in Meihua Academy, is the son-in-law of the Xiao family, and Liu Xiang is a protégé of the Lu family. ”

Every time he arrived at a county order, Hongyang quietly introduced Liu Han, and he had been in Yangzhou County for seven or eight years, and he was very familiar with each county, and he knew the resume of each county order and the background behind it.

"My lord," Hong Yang hesitated and asked, "This person is all here, why don't you participate?"

"This is the business of the adults and the Gu, my business is to ensure the safety of this camp, and the safety of the two adults, in addition, I am to obey the orders of the two adults, as for how to implement the national policy of the imperial court, it is the business of the two adults. ”

Liu Han's expression was very casual, and he didn't mean to get up at all, in fact, the content of the meeting, he already knew that the purpose of today's meeting was to get these county magistrates to prepare the household registers, land files, merchant and workshop lists under their jurisdiction, as well as the taxes they paid over the years, as well as the account books of the taxes paid over the years, and so on.

In addition, the county officials and county officials will receive a 10-day training, where Gu Wei will explain the content of the tax reform and answer their questions.

The meeting was very long, after a light meal at noon, there was no rest, and the meeting continued in the afternoon, Liu Han still did not pass, he didn't even go to the door, he was still at the door.

In the afternoon, Tang Long came with a burden on his back, and the three tiger guards who were secretly sent to protect him returned in the afternoon and reported the situation of the Tang family to Liu Han.

Tang Long is outside the city of Tangjia Village, about eight miles away from Yangzhou, the whole village is mainly surnamed Tang, the Tang family is a Shu clan, the ancestor has ever produced the largest official is the county Cheng, just like Tang Long said, he is in the village of the private school to study, the teacher is the Tang family, named Tang Na, Tang Na's background is also very simple, a few words from the villagers set out, when he was young, he used to study in a small academy, and now the academy has been dispersed, the reason is that the family behind the academy has declined.

Tang Long's family is poor, the family only has eight acres of mulberry fields and five acres of paddy fields, his ability to study is the result of the family's food and clothing and clan sponsorship, but the Tang family's private school teaching is limited after all, and the Tang family's family background is also shallow, so Tang Long is more than 20 years old, and he has not participated in a tasting, and his literary reputation is not smooth, and he is unknown among so many scholars in Yangzhou.

Some people have been busy all their lives, but in the end it is empty, and some people seem to have nothing to do all day, but they don't do it for three years. ”

"That's what my lord said. Hong Yang diligently sent tea, he didn't know where this Lord Liu came from, but he knew very well that these adults could pinch him to death with a little finger.

Liu Han picked up the teacup with a smile, and then chatted with Hongyang, this neighborhood is very quiet, there are no scholars to collide, and there are no other idlers waiting to hang around, Yangzhou is very noisy, but it is very quiet here.

While they were chatting, in a dilapidated hut in Qingmei Lane, the gray-haired old woman looked at the man who suddenly broke in, the man said that he wanted to drink saliva, but after entering the house, he told her to go to Yangzhou Mansion to file a complaint.

It has been a few years since her son was wrongfully imprisoned, and in the past few years, she has gone around to redress her grievances, and every yamen has worshipped, but her son is still in prison, all the money in the family has been spent, the house has been sold, her wife is angry, and she is also desperate, so she can only pray to the sky to give her son a way to live.

But unexpectedly, this strange man said that he could redress her son's grievances, can this be believed? She subconsciously looked at the shrine, could it be that God heard her pleading?

The old woman is not the kind of country woman, she has encountered too many walls over the years, and she dare not believe it easily.

"Of course it's good to be able to redress grievances, but ,... , the Lu family is powerful, and Sheng Thorn Shi doesn't dare to avenge my son's grievances, how can the strong man come here to grasp it?"

"Let's tell you the truth," the man smiled and said directly: "I was sent by the Qin Mission, and now Yangzhou Mansion is in charge of the Qin Mission, Gu Wei Gu is in charge, the Lu family obstructs the national policy of the imperial court's tax system innovation, Gu Lord wants to repair the Lu family, Gu has already found out, Ling Gongzi is wronged, the real murderer is Lu Kang, the second son of the Lu family, so, this time, as long as you go to sue, you will definitely be able to redress your grievances." ”

The old woman still looked at the man sluggishly, and the man silently took out a token from his bosom, with two words written on it, Tiger Ben.

"Xiaguan Nansheng, Hu Benwei is in office, there are four brothers outside, if the old lady is willing to go to the Yangzhou Mansion Yamen to file a complaint, then the old lady will go with us now, to a safe place, in a few days, someone will be responsible for protecting the old lady to the yamen to complain; ”

The old woman knelt down with a puff, wept silently, and cried out hoarsely, "Wrong...... In vain!"

Nan Sheng sighed deeply and stretched out his hand to help the old woman up: "Old lady, my family knows that Han Cheng is wronged, his case has already been investigated, and the murderer has also been found.

A man pushed the door in, and Nan Sheng ordered, "Immediately clean up for the old lady." ”

The house was almost bare, almost nothing, the man packed a few clothes in the broken wooden box, tied up a burden at random, Nan Sheng personally helped the old woman out of the house.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Nan Sheng helped the old woman to get into the carriage, Nan Sheng did not follow the car, but the driver was a man wearing a hat, the man's face was dark, he held a long whip, and he didn't say much, as soon as the old woman entered the car, he drove the carriage.

Nan Sheng stood on the street, watching the carriage disappear, he deceived the old woman, he was not sent by Gu Wei, but by Liu Han.

Liu Han's order to him was to persuade the old woman to complain, and after the old woman agreed, he handed the old woman over to the carriage outside, and then went back to her life.

The carriage was walking on Yangzhou Street, and the old woman was sitting in the carriage, feeling uneasy, and wanted to pull the curtain to see, but as soon as she raised her hand, a voice came from her ear: "Don't move, don't pull the curtains." ”

The voice was very dry and hard, the speaker had tried to be as gentle as possible, but it was still very dry and hard, the old woman put down her hand, and the suspicion in her heart was even stronger, but the matter had come to this, and she could only accept her fate, and her strength to grasp the burden became greater and greater.

At the same time, a team of Hu Benwei entered the Yamen cell of Yangzhou Mansion and quickly took over the prison, and the officer headed by the officer gathered all the cells together and announced that the prison was taken over by Hu Benwei, and only three people were left in the cell, who were responsible for delivering food and cleaning, and the others made other arrangements.

The prisoners were panicked and did not know what was happening, and the officers did not explain, so they called out the cells that were usually responsible for cooking and cleaning, and the others immediately left the cells.

Since then, the cell has been taken over by the tiger guard, and in the evening, the prison that delivered the meal went in to deliver the meal, and saw that there was an extra table in the middle of the cell, and a tiger guard sat on the side, and opposite was a single cell, in which a scholar was imprisoned.

The scholar had been in prison for several years, and all the prisoners knew and knew him, so he put down the basket and brought out a bowl of rice to hand to the scholar.

"Wait. The tiger guard opened his mouth, and the prisoner looked at the tiger guard in a slight puzzlement, and the tiger guard swept his eyes at the rice, and then ordered: "Listen, in the future, Han Cheng's rice menu will have meat, do you hear clearly?"

"Understood," the prison suddenly understood in his heart, nodded and agreed, but then asked embarrassedly: "Shangguan, the expenses in the prison are certain, and the small ones can't be turned into silver, so this extra expense." ”

Hu Benwei didn't talk to him at all, threw out a silver ticket, and the prison took it, it was actually one hundred taels, and he was immediately overjoyed.

"The little ones will do it immediately. ”

"Listen, when you send food in the future, you have to taste every meal in front of me, you have to have something more in it, and you will be killed. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the little one understands, the little one understands!"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the head of the prison, and his heart trembled and he was uneasy, this Han Cheng's case, the whole Yangzhou knew what was going on, but no one dared to say it, it seemed that someone above wanted to move this case.

Yangzhou Academy's debate spread throughout Yangzhou, from all over the scholars come in an endless stream, Yangzhou Academy also attaches great importance to it, the academy mountain chief Bai Mei is famous in the south of the Yangtze River erudite people, once served as Taixue sacrificial wine in the early days of Taiding, its masterpiece "Ming Jing Analysis" is a must-read book for the scholars of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The inns and hostels near Yangzhou Academy are all full, and even the Taoist temples inside and outside the city are overcrowded, and there are many people who come from Jingzhou, Xuzhou.

Everyone eagerly awaited this debate, completely oblivious to the quiet changes in Yangzhou City.

The news that Hu Benwei took over the prison cell of Yangzhou Mansion quickly reached Lu Kang's ears, Lu Kang didn't pay attention to it at all, and still lingered in Qinglou every day, every day in Jinselou, entangled with purple smoke, and wanted to use 10,000 taels of silver to comb for Ziyan, Ziyan was naturally unwilling, but he didn't dare to refuse strongly, so he could only prevaricate vaguely, if it wasn't for Saim helping on the side, Lu Kang would have already won it.

However, Gu Wei, who was in the middle of everyone's purpose, acted like no such thing, explaining the various policies of tax reform to the county magistrates every day and explaining the reasons for them, ignoring the rumors outside.

It's just that Ju Yu is sick again, lying in bed every day, sighing, and apologizing to Gu Wei and Liu Han who went to visit the patient, and the two of them don't break it, without his intervention, there are fewer accidents.

Gu Wei took on the burden of the entire tax system reform, and was busy every day, while Liu Han still leisurely wandered around the camp every day, occasionally chatting with Hong Yang at the recruitment office.

Zhaoxian, except for Tang Long on the first day, there was no one in the next few days, Yangzhou City is now full of scholars, but they don't seem to have seen the Zhaoxian notice.

Tang Long lived in the camp for a few days, the more he lived, the more he felt weak, in the camp of Qincha, the food and accommodation were very good, but there was nothing to do, he tried to chat with the officials in the camp, and chatted with those tiger guards who looked very majestic, but soon, he noticed that they were not interested at all, and a few words were just out of courtesy.

The camp did not restrict his movements, except for a few key places, there were no restrictions on his movement, even if it was a backyard that ordinary people could not enter.
