People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 28 028: A busy night

On the other side of the government office, Huke's lights were still on, and Zeng Changshi was guarding the room, running around in a hurry.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"The sun is setting early, the suburbs of Liujiazhuang, it should be soon!" Zhao Qian and the two stewards of Huke were waiting in the room.I don't know what happened to the lord today, he didn't go home after get off work, so he had to wait for Deputy Manager Sun.

Manager Qian went to the door and took a look, and saw a figure illuminated by the dim stone lamp.

"coming!"

A sound came, and the dull atmosphere in the whole room immediately came alive.

"How is it? Have you checked it out?" Zeng Ziqi caught Steward Sun who came in and asked.

Deputy Manager Sun didn't expect that Zeng Changshi was still there, and he babbled as soon as he entered the room. He was sweating profusely, and swallowed the tea on the table.

"Sun Guanshi has worked hard, I will be busy later, I invite everyone to Xinghualou!" Zeng Ziqi's words sounded again.

"Cough——" Deputy Steward Sun spit out all the water without swallowing it.

"Sir, I'm blind, I didn't see you!" Manager Sun immediately knelt down.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business. Did you find out?" Zeng Changshi stared at him.

"It has been found out that the group of people who offended the young master are all poor people from Liujiazhuang and nearby villages. They have land but do not farm, and they have no time to do anything. They were absorbed by the Rat Society and turned into villains who oppressed the people!" Manager Sun said what he was investigating The results were told to them, along with a foldout containing detailed information about these people.

For this information, he visited Liujiazhuang and two nearby villages and asked five questions before he gained so much.

Zeng Ziqi took the booklet, leaned close to the oil lamp, and read the description carefully. After about a stick of incense, he finished reading it. He thought about it for a while, and felt that something was wrong in it. He slammed the table and said, "Bold, how can you judge these things?" Do people belong to the Mouse Society?”

When Deputy Manager Sun heard the superior's scolding, he immediately turned pale and remained silent.

"My lord, it's not the villain's idea, it's the young master who ordered it himself!" Steward Qian whispered to Zeng Ziqi's ear, and relayed to him what Li Wei said to Huke a few days ago.

Zeng Ziqi turned around, slapped Steward Qian hard in the face, and threw the zhezi at him, "You think I don't know about Young Master's arrangement? I've been watching for so long, it's clearly arranged by Hu Ke!"

Manager Qian immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, please forgive me, but I will make corrections now!"

Manager Zhao found the Zhezi and knelt down to study it with Manager Qian. The more he looked at the two of them, the more frightened he became, "How dare this old man do this? This is something arranged by the eldest son himself!"

There seems to be no problem at all with this list. The characters are detailed, but Crooked Eye is ranked first.

"Old Sun, this crooked eye doesn't look like the leader of this group? Is there no one behind?" Manager Zhao reminded Manager Sun.

Manager Sun turned his head and instantly understood where he had gone wrong. "I'm telling you, sir, I'm wrong. Those guys are really good at deceiving people."

"That's it!" Zeng Ziqi threw away his sleeves and hurried to the governor's office to report the situation.

The three people left on the spot looked at each other in shock.Especially Guanshi Sun, it is not an exaggeration to describe him with the words "remaining from the disaster".

"Old Sun, you are lucky! You met Zeng Changshi. Tell me, how much did you take?" Manager Qian was dissatisfied in his words, why should he accept bribes alone and suffer the punishment himself.

"Oh, stop talking. I didn't take advantage of a single penny." Steward Sun wiped off the sweat from his forehead, he wanted to bite to death because of his own incompetence.

Qian and Zhao were speechless, but they thought the end-of-year assessment would be different, so they didn't pursue it further.Manager Qian and Manager Sun left one after the other, leaving Manager Zhao on duty overnight.

About an hour later, Manager Zhao received an order from the Governor's Office: Manager Linghu Branch would work with the Criminal Branch and the Military Branch to investigate the remnants of the Liujiazhuang Rat Society, and no one should be shielded.

There is also Li Yunguang's signature at the end.

This matter should not have been done by Hu Ke, but due to the arrangement of the eldest son of the governor's office, Hu Ke became the main responsible department for this matter.

"That's right, if this matter is done well, it's definitely a great achievement!" Manager Zhao was delighted.For a person like him, waiting is an opportunity.From an official to an official, for Governor Li, it was just a letter.

Who gave him the surname Li?

Manager Zhao knocked on the duty room next to him and woke up the people on duty, "Go and notify everyone in the household department and come to the Yamen now."

In order to grab credit, the steward summoned all the people from Huke overnight. They were racing against time. Before dawn, they wanted to arrest all the people involved in this matter in Liujiazhuang to the yamen.

But after a night of sleepless nights, Huke and his group were definitely not the only ones outside the prison cell.After Cai Xiaolan was arrested, Cui Lushi and Cui Boyan immediately split into two groups, the former went to ask the boss and the second for help, and the latter went to beg the former classmate.

Unfortunately, the two families, Shuangquan and Changcai, were still angry. "Don't blame me for being ruthless," Cui's mother almost choked with anger.

And Cui Boyan has always been a jerk in school before, and his good friends are all fools. Once he encounters an official matter, it is too late to avoid it, so how can he dare to get involved?

At the meeting point, Cui Boyan only waited for Cui Lu who was also lost.

"Auntie, don't be discouraged. Mr. Wang has already said that he will go to Zicheng tomorrow and ask his friends for help!" Cui Boyan gently stroked Cui Lu's back and comforted her.

Mother Cui raised her head when she heard the words, her tears had already flowed, and said tremblingly: "Oh, your two elder brothers have given birth to them in vain!"

"It's nice to say that I don't have much power and it's not easy to ask for help. I'm just the lowest person in the yamen... How can I know if it will work if I don't try it?" Cui's mother continued to criticize the two of them.

"Mother, it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest first, and think about it at night, what can we do!" Cui Boyan sent Cui's mother to the inn, and slipped out again with an excuse.

He wanted to try again. A few days ago, when the two imposing young masters left, they said that if something happened, they could go to Zicheng to find him.

A person who falls into the water must hold on to any rope no matter how thin it is.

In fact, in the afternoon, without a road leading him, he couldn't even enter the gate of Zicheng.He wanted to see if he could have a chance to get in during the night.

There is no such thing as a curfew in Yangzhou City, but mighty patrolling soldiers can still be seen occasionally on the street.Cui Boyan was afraid that people would come up to guide him, so he didn't dare to go to crowded places, so he chose secluded alleys all the way, and finally arrived under the sub-city.

The tall inner city wall put him off. The city gates were so tight that not even a fly could get through.

When he was worrying about this matter, he heard a sudden burst of noisy voices inside the wall, from far to near, "Master Inspector has an order, Huke is going out of the city to do business, open the city gate quickly!" one after another.

But after a while, the city gate has not yet opened.

"It's really difficult to open the inner city gate!" Cui Boyan couldn't help complaining when he heard the noisy movement behind the door.

"Brothers, let's break through. We will report to the adults for the morning meeting tomorrow!" Seeing that no one had opened the door for a long time and the concierge was empty, the leader chopped off the latch of the city gate with a knife and broke out.Things have to be prioritized, not to mention that there is no curfew in Yangzhou City.

Closing the doors makes no sense.

"Haha, the manager is so cool. Brothers have long been dissatisfied with the door. Sometimes I get off work late and it's hard to go home!"

"You are a single man, why should you go home? I think it influenced you to go to Yingchun Building!" Someone in the crowd exposed his shortcomings.

"No teasing, the mission is urgent, set off immediately!"

Cui Boyan watched a large group of people passing by and quickly hid in the shadow of the city wall.After they left, the inner city gate opened wide.

"Be brave, tell the ghost to take maternity leave!" Cui Boyan lifted his robe and ran inside quickly.Following the address given by the son, he went straight in and stopped in front of a tall mansion.

"The Governor's Mansion?"

Cui Boyan was stunned.What is the probability that the two people who were randomly rescued at the door of the house were members of the largest official family in Yangzhou Prefecture?Can it be greater than the probability of disaster falling from the sky when someone is sitting at home?
He went up and knocked on the side door of the mansion. After knocking more than a dozen times, a servant came to answer the door: "I don't sleep at night, what's the matter?" After looking shabby, I complained loudly.

"Hi, I'm looking for two young masters, Li Wei and Li Fan of your mansion!" Cui Boyan was full of etiquette, but unfortunately he forgot that scholars value integrity, and ordinary people other than scholars value money more.

"Haha, would you be happier if I could call Master Li up? Do you think you are Zeng Changshi? You don't even urinate and look like yourself!" The disciple was furious and pushed Cui Bo. Yan kicked him out.

Just now, Zeng Changshi had already woken him up.He dared not lose his temper.And here comes another one.In the middle of the night, asking him to disturb the master's sleep, isn't he asking for trouble?Is it the end of the world tomorrow?

Not only did the members of the Li family think this way, but the second elder of the Cui family also had the same idea. Let Cui's mother and Cui Boyan hang out for a night, and let them see who is the most useful person in the family.
