Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the evening, Niu Qianshi and others gathered in the custody room to submit the completed case files to Haigong.

    "Zhongcheng, no one in Kunshan County has complained at all, and they are all unreasonable." Niu Qianshi said cautiously: "In this case, do we still want to continue to waste time here?"

    This is Young Master Zhao¡¯s father¡¯s territory, Moo Mo doesn¡¯t dare to talk nonsense.

    Hai Rui looked puzzled and said, "Don't you realize this is a bit abnormal?"

    Not all officials had contact with Zhao Hao. For example, Commissioner Wang, who had been successfully influenced by Hai Gong, nodded and said: "When I was reviewing the case, I heard that after Magistrate Zhao took office, he only arranged for a yamen once the day before.  So far, no notice has been posted.¡±

    "This is a bit too much." The officials discussed one after another: "He has not even complained, how come no one has complained?"

    "Could it be to protect people's mouths more than to protect Sichuan?" Commissioner Wang guessed.

    Hai Rui did not express his position easily. Although he did not have any tendency to favoritism in his mind, he had an IQ that exceeded ordinary people Zhao Shouzheng had only been in office for half a year, and he had been on the embankment. No matter how many complaints the people filed, it didn't matter to him.

    There is no reason to prevent people from complaining, right?  Besides, can the people of Wuzhong be stopped by the government?

    Hai Rui thought about it all night, but he still couldn't figure out what happened to the people of Kunshan.

    ??~~

    Early the next morning, the guards guarding the governor's office saw their leader, Peng Qianhu, walking out of the office wearing a half-worn cloth robe and a torn cotton hat, carrying a "iron-cut" cloth flag.  .

    "Hey, my lord, I want to change my career" the guards joked, but before they could finish their words, they all stopped abruptly.

    Because they saw that behind Peng Qianhu was a thin old man wearing a coarse preacher's robe and a square scarf on his head.

    If not the King of Hell, who is it?

    The guards were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down, but Peng Qianhu shouted in a low voice: "You are not allowed to move. Zhongcheng wants to have a private visit incognito. He is not allowed to be exposed."

    "You are the best at shouting." Hai Rui rolled his eyes at Peng Qianhu.

    ??It¡¯s better to take a look for yourself than to say a thousand things.  He wanted to walk around the streets today to see whether the people in Kunshan were afraid or unwilling to complain.

    Hai Rui originally planned to go out with Hai An, but how could Peng Qianhu rest assured?  Lin Zhongcheng and his predecessor Feng Qianhu were still lying in Jiangnan Hospital. How dare he let Haizhongcheng go out with just an old servant?

    After much deliberation, Hai Rui finally agreed and asked Peng Qianhu to hold banners for Hai An.

    Although Hai'an said angrily that he had practiced Nanquan and Northern kicks and could protect Zhongcheng's safety

    ??~~

    The two of them left the governor's office and saw that the shops in Xishan Alley were open as usual. People on the street were talking and laughing, and there were no signs of being threatened and staying home.

    "Could these shopkeepers and ordinary people be officials pretending to be officials?" Peng Qianhu scanned the surroundings vigilantly and suggested a possibility with great experience.

    "It seems that you have done this kind of thing." Hai Rui laughed and scolded: "Look at the many women and few men on the street, how can it be possible that they are all government officials?"

    "Uh" Peng Qianhu said sarcastically: "We didn't seem to have any girls at that time."

    Having said that, to be on the safe side, the two of them stayed away from Xishan Alley and came to Kunshan¡¯s most prosperous Banshan Bridge.

    It is said to be the most prosperous, but compared to Suzhou City or even Wujiang County, it is still far from impressive.  Only 10% of the flow of people outside Changmen in Suzhou and 30% of the flow of people in Shengze Town of Wujiang.

    So Hai Rui easily found an empty space on the street.  He asked Peng Qianhu to go to the tea stall nearby, pay ten cents to borrow benches, tables and chairs, set them up, put the flags next to the table, and it was open for business.

    But the people on the street seemed to be in a hurry, and no one took care of his business for a while.

    The sixty-year-old tea stall owner couldn't stand it anymore and brought him a bowl of hot red date tea for Hai Rui to drink to warm himself up.

    Hai Rui thanked him, held a tea bowl in both hands and asked, "My father-in-law, Kunshan County is adjacent to Suzhou, so why is the population so small?"

    "How does Kunshan compare with Suzhou? There must be a lot less people. But in the past, the Wuyang Wuyang Bridge in the middle of the mountain was owned by people. Isn't this the master's responsibility to repair the embankment? People in the county have gone to Kunnan, so naturally the streets are full of people.  nobody."

    "But you, a fortune teller, can't calculate this?" The tea stall owner joked: "I think your skills are a bit weak."

    "It's all about making ends meet." Hai Rui said with a self-deprecating smile: "It's true that I made a miscalculation. In Suzhou City, I watched the governor's office issue a lawsuit, and thousands of people lined up to file a lawsuit This lawsuit  People who have no idea and want to tell fortunes will make a whole winter¡¯s worth of money in ten days.¡±

    "Haha, then youYou have to pay for my tea.  "My father-in-law joked.

    "It's easy to talk about." Hai Rui handed him a few more copper coins. The tea stall owner declined and accepted them.

    "I thought that when the governor came to Kunshan, there would be many people queuing up to complain." Hai Rui sighed again: "I didn't expect that there was no one at Xishan Lane. How could there be no one to complain?  ?What a miscalculation.¡±

    "Hahaha" After hearing a fortune teller say that he had miscalculated, the tea stall owner almost burst out laughing.  After a while, I wiped away my tears and said:

    "I'll tell you if I can't figure it out, because we have Zhao Qingtian in Kunshan, so why bother with Hai Qingtian?"

    "Zhao Qingtian?" Hai Rui asked pretending to be confused, "Is it Zhao County Magistrate?"

    "Who else can it be? Of course it's the old parents of this county, the dignified new champion of the county, Mr. Zhao!" As soon as Mr. Zhao was mentioned, the tea stall owner put away his smile and said with reverence on his face: "

    "We, the people of Kunshan, have had great hardships and have been rewarded with joy. The number one scholar came from heaven to serve as the county magistrate. How great a blessing it is."

    "I think I heard that he was punished before he came down to be the county magistrate." Hai Rui said calmly.

    "It's all the thief named Xu from Huating!" Before the tea stall owner could answer, several elderly tea patrons started shouting loudly.  "If it weren't for the traitor's frame-up, our eldest master would have ended up in this situation?"

    "But it's fortunate that we have a great savior in Kunshan." After scolding, several elderly people couldn't help laughing and said: "Speaking of which, it seems that we have to thank the dog thief named Xu."

    "I have also heard about the deeds of Zhao Zhi County in fighting floods and building embankments. It is indeed very touching." Hai Rui smiled and asked, "But what does this have to do with the people's complaint? The people are not suing him."

    "Do you think our old parents only know how to build embankments?" the tea shop owner replied with a smile: "Although the county never holds court, it publishes complaints twice on the second and sixteenth day of every month, and the complaints submitted by the people are quickly resolved.  It can be judged.¡±

    "It must have been our eldest brother who worked overtime at night to judge the case." The people of Kunshan love Zhao Shouzheng, so they naturally give him all the credit.

    "If you are not satisfied, you can go directly to the elder. He hangs around the construction site all day long. If we people have any grievances, we can tell him face to face at any time. The old parents called the squire over to help mediate and mediate the problem.  That¡¯s it.¡±
