A knife in love

Chapter 973

Li Qiufeng said: "Master Han, in terms of official rank, I shouldn't be so disrespectful in front of you. It's just that when I came to Xiuwu County this time, I was ordered by the Commander of Jinyiwei Yang Zhen Zhongyang to handle the case. Yang Zhen Your Excellency said, if the officials in Henan abide by the law and do not obstruct our handling of the case, we should be respectful and polite. If they are domineering, deceiving, and trying to do something wrong, then we don’t have to be polite. Mr. Han, are you Luoyang's parental officer has a much higher position than me. But we still have Lord Yang above us, and above Lord Yang is the current emperor. If I humble myself in front of you, I will not lose my face, but let Lord Yang Shame on you. Lord Yang doesn't look good, I'm afraid..."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he deliberately groaned and kept his eyes on Han Qusi.Although Han Qusi knew that eight out of ten sentences of Li Qiufeng's words were threatening him, but as long as one sentence was true, if he stood up to him, the situation would be very bad.So he nodded hurriedly and said: "Li Baihu is right. It should be so, it should be so."

Li Qiufeng's rhetoric was naturally not made by Yang Zhenzhong, but he learned it from his colleagues in Jin Yiwei.At this moment, seeing that Han Qusi had been discouraged by himself, and he did not put on airs in front of him as a magistrate, but he didn't want to humiliate him, so he stood up, moved a chair and put it on Han Qusi's chair. In front of him, he said to Han Qusi: "Master Han, please sit down."

Han Qusi sat down and was about to speak when he suddenly remembered that Cui Yanshou was still standing aside.He turned his head away, immediately changed his majestic face, and said to Cui Yanshou: "Master Cui, I have something to talk to Li Baihu, you should go out quickly."

Cui Yanshou was feeling uneasy, and only wanted to leave here sooner.But Li Qiufeng and Han Qusi didn't speak, so he didn't dare to slip away quietly.When he didn't know what to do, hearing what Han Qusi said hit Cui Yanshou's arms.I saw him hastily bowed and saluted, then turned around and left the room in a hurry.Fan Tong, who was guarding the door, saw Cui Yanshou running out as if fleeing for his life. He looked into the room with his head and saw that Li Qiufeng and Han Qusi were talking, so he gently closed the door.

Yu Fan and others stood in the yard, everyone had something on their minds and wanted to leave, but Han Qusi didn't come out, but no one dared to leave.These people stood stiffly in the yard one by one, looking quite strange.

After the door was closed, Han Qusi said to Li Qiufeng: "The Luoyang magistrate's yamen has not received the letter from the Ministry of Punishment. I don't know how neglectful Li Baihu came to our Luoyang to handle the case. Please forgive me."

Li Qiufeng said: "That's easy to say. Prefect Han, to tell you the truth, this case is a major case that Mr. Yang personally arrested, and his old man has already arrived in Henan."

Han Qusi was surprised, and said: "Master Yang is here too? This, what can we do, we didn't greet you, Master Yang won't be angry?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said: "Prefect Han, don't panic. This case is related to Japanese pirates. In order not to startle the snake, Mr. Yang ordered us to investigate it privately. Naturally, we will not write to the governor's office in Henan and the prefect's office in Luoyang. If you really opened the door It is a crime to set off the trumpet cannon and greet Lord Yang with great fanfare."

Han Qusi was quite uneasy at first, for fear that the case that Yang Zhenzhong led Jin Yiwei to Henan to handle would be related to Fengmen Village.When he heard that Yang Zhenzhong came to Henan for Japanese pirates, he immediately let go of his heart.However, he still had a surprised expression on his face, and said in his mouth: "Japanese pirates? Japanese pirates are only invading the people along the southeast coast. Henan is the border of the Central Plains. How dare the Japanese pirates come?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said: "The Japanese pirates have been scheming, and they have been eyeing me for a long time. This time Li went to Xiuwu County to find out if there are any traces of Japanese pirates here. Your brother is the parent officer of Luoyang. If you don't help us Jin Yiwei is investigating the case, but he is making trouble everywhere, I am afraid that something will happen, and the old man will not be able to explain it?"

Han Qusi was taken aback, stood up hastily, and said in his mouth, "Wh-Where did this come from? It is true that the prefect's yamen did not receive the written document. I don't know that Japanese pirates came to our place to make trouble. Li Baihu, since you If you are going to Luoyang to handle a case, no matter if you want people or money, just ask for it. Our Luoyang prefect yamen will definitely help you with all your strength and will never get in your way."

Li Qiufeng pushed Han Qusi onto the chair, and then said: "Brother, I'm a little impatient. I haven't finished my words yet. To be honest, I have been investigating around Xiuwu County for more than a month. No trace of the Japanese pirates has been found. Mr. Huang, the magistrate of Xiuwu County, has a very good official voice, and he is indeed a capable official."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he deliberately paused.Although he didn't go out to handle cases like the people in Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, but he had seen the demeanor of Jinyiwei's colleagues and officials a long time ago, and this appearance is very similar.When Han Qusi saw that Li Qiufeng suddenly stopped talking at a critical moment, he really looked like an official in the officialdom, and he no longer doubted his identity in his heart.

Seeing Han Qusi's nervous expression, Li Qiufeng knew that this person no longer doubted himself, so he continued: "However, some of the petty officials under Mr. Huang are domineering and bullying. If nothing else, just Said the county magistrate named Yu in the yard. His servants dared to run amok in the city, beating and scolding the people. This man broke in early this morning and asked me to leave the Town God's Temple. I refuted a few words. People dare to say that although this temple is the property of the yamen, he has the final say. Master Han, a servant dares to be so arrogant, which shows how rampant his master is. This is only true for the officials of Lord Huang and Lord Han. I'm afraid it will be extremely disadvantageous."

Han Qusi has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, how could he not know about Li Qiufeng's tricks?He has only been in Xiuwu County for a few days, and he has no friendship with Yu Fan.However, Huang Chong also heard Huang Chong praise this person for his prudence and ability as an official.Because Liang Huan, the inspector, wanted the Lantern Festival to start earlier, the most lively Town God's Temple in Xiuwu County naturally had to be safe and sound.Therefore, it is a must for the magistrate's yamen to clean up the idlers.This Jinyiwei hundred household settled in the temple, and Yu Fan and others didn't know his identity. When they came to chase him away, there was a collision of words, but it was also a common thing.At this time, Li Qiufeng accused Yu Fan of being "rampant", and naturally wanted to avenge his personal revenge.

It's just that although Han Qusi guessed that Li Qiufeng was going to harm Yu Fan, he didn't dare to refute it openly, so he nodded and said: "Li Baihu is right. After I go back, I will discuss with Mr. Huang immediately to see if there is still a person in this person." Other misdeeds. If this person is really as Lord Li said, he will naturally be dismissed and questioned to appease the anger of the people."

Li Qiufeng listened to Han Qusi's words without leaking water, but also admired his shrewdness, nodded immediately, and then continued: "I'm used to living in this Town God's Temple, and I don't want to move to another place. After Mr. Han goes out , can you accommodate with that county magistrate and leave me a place to stay?"

Han Qusi waved his hands anxiously, and said in his mouth: "Li Baihu is joking. You live here, who dares to disturb you?! You can rest assured to live here, and leave other things to you." I'll do it."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Han. In addition, I was ordered to investigate the case here, which is a confidential matter. If the surname Yu is not too aggressive today, I don't want to reveal my identity. So Lord Han should keep this matter a secret, and don't disclose it to outsiders."

Han Qusi thought to himself, if you sit here yelling and drinking, and let the dignified Luoyang magistrate enter the house to meet you, how could the police officers in the yamen in the courtyard not know that you are Jinyiwei?At this time, he said hypocritically that he didn't want to reveal his identity, it was just a pretense.

It's just that although Han Qusi thought so in his heart, his expression was calm as usual, and he said in his mouth: "Li Baihu can rest assured, I will naturally order the people who come from the magistrate's yamen not to reveal Li Baihu's identity."

What Han Qusi said made Piri Yangqiu sound.He only said "people from the magistrate's yamen", but did not mention the tolerance police of the magistrate's yamen in Xiuwu County, and the people of Tianlongmen, implying that if the news leaked out to Li Qiufeng, it would have nothing to do with the Luoyang magistrate's yamen.

Li Qiufeng naturally knew what Han Qusi meant, but he didn't want to get too entangled with him, and said in his mouth: "This is the best. Mr. Han is busy with business, so please go back first. I have nothing to do here. I will naturally go to see the adults."
