() Before Prison Officer Yang could speak, Yuan Chongshang frowned, looked at Prison Officer Yang, and asked, "Ghost? When did you arrest Guifang?" He said coldly, "What a fool."

Prison officer Yang showed a look of surprise, and said in fear: "Return to my lords, there are no ghosts in this big prison, and if the ghosts are caught in the big prison, villains... villains really don't understand what is going on." What's going on."

Chu Huan put his hands behind his back, his eyes turned cold, and said with a sneer, "So, the rumors that the imperial envoy heard outside were caused by other people's rumors?"

Prison officer Yang hurriedly said: "The villain dare not. It's just that the villain is the prison officer of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Every prisoner who enters the prison will be personally seen by the subordinate officials. Only when the subordinate officials have sorted out their case files will they I will be imprisoned in the big prison." He looked very embarrassed, "I really don't know when the prisoner was imprisoned in the big prison." Turning around, he asked the two guards behind him: "You are in the big prison. , can you see a ghost party prisoner?"

The two jailers looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Prison Officer Yang then said: "Master Governor, you are well aware that Guifang people live in Daqimeng and have never interacted with us, and it is rare for them to appear in Taiyuan City. After taking office, Your Excellency has repeatedly ordered that we The Qin people and the ghost people should live in harmony, and no troubles should arise, if a ghost person is arrested in this big prison, it must be a big deal, and you have to report to the Governor.”

Yuan Chongshang nodded slightly, looked at Chu Huan, and said, "Master Chu, if there are people from Guifang who are really arrested and imprisoned, I believe they will not dare to conceal the report."

Chu Huan observed his words and senses, and felt that Yuan Chongshang seemed to really not know that He Xigu and others were arrested and imprisoned.

Yuan Chongshang, the majestic governor of Anyi, did not know what happened to the Department of Criminal Justice. It seems that the various yamen in Anyi are not completely controlled by Yuan Chongshang.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Actually, this imperial envoy is only listening to what people say. The governor also knows that the Huang family rebelled, and the whole of Anyi should work together to put down the rebellion of the Huang family, and must not cause new troubles because of other things. Those Guifang people are barbaric and uncivilized, if they really conflict with the government, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble."

Yuan Chongshang couldn't help but said: "What's the point of mere ghosts? If they dare to make trouble, I can't let them mess around. It's just that there was a decree from the Holy Spirit at the beginning. Since I am an official, I must protect the peace of the other side. One thing more is worse than one thing less, and both sides are safe and sound, that is what the Holy Majesty wants to see." With a look of sudden realization, he smiled and said, "Master Chu is in a hurry, what should I do? It turns out that it is because of the ghost, Master Chu, you I also saw that there are no ghosts in this big prison, I'm afraid there was a misunderstanding."

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "However, the imperial envoys listen to people's words. They saw the officers of the Ministry of Punishment arrest a few Guifang people with their own eyes. Could it be that they are talking nonsense?"

Prison officer Yang said: "My lord, those people are talking nonsense, I don't know. Even if they really saw it, they may not be from our Ministry of Criminal Affairs. After the Huang family rebelled, their people made trouble everywhere. Maybe they pretended to be the Ministry of Criminal Affairs." Si’s brother captured Guifangren, but it was to frame the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.” His small eyes were wide open, “It’s not a good idea to deliberately destroy the relationship between Guifangren and the government.”

Chu Huan nodded and said: "What Prison Officer Yang said is not unreasonable." He sneered in his heart, this Prison Officer Yang seems to be really not an ordinary character. I really want to be deceived by this big fat man's innocent face.

Yuan Chongshang then said: "Lord Chu, you haven't had breakfast yet. Since there are no ghosts here, let's leave here first." He couldn't help covering his nose, and said to Prison Officer Yang: "Although it is a big prison, it should be cleaned up. What kind of smell is there?"

Prison officer Yang hurriedly said: "The villain will send someone to clean up immediately."

Chu Huan thought about it, and suddenly asked: "Jail Officer Yang, is the prison boss here?"

Prison officer Yang immediately nodded, turned around and ordered the jailer to call, and after a while, he saw a big and thick prisoner approaching. Chu Huan looked him over, and this prisoner was obviously not the prisoner who had interrogated him before.

After the prison chief came over, he knelt down on the ground, "The villain has seen two adults."

"Is this the head of your prison?" Chu Huan asked.

Prison officer Yang immediately said: "Exactly, he has been here as a prison boss for four years."

"How many cell bosses are there in your big prison?"

Prison officer Yang said with a smile: "My lord, all the prisons of the Ministry of Punishment have only one prison head."

Chu Huan laughed, but he was also a little surprised in his heart. The speed of the people in the prison of the Ministry of Justice was beyond Chu Huan's imagination. He thought his speed was fast enough, but the other party's hands and feet were obviously faster than his own. All have been properly arranged and fully dealt with.

Yuan Chongshang obviously couldn't stand the smell in the cell, and urged: "Master Chu, let's leave first. As for those ghosts, I will ask someone to investigate later."

Chu Huan didn't say much. They left the cell, and before they reached the main gate of the prison, they saw a person walking towards him. Seeing Yuan Chongshang, he had already walked over quickly, and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the Governor!" < said: "This is Lord Chu, the imperial envoy from Beijing, and came to inspect the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" grown ups."

Chu Huan had already said with a smile: "Lord Kou, when I saw you, I thought of your Qiu Butang." The Qiu Butang he was talking about naturally referred to Qiu Junyu, the secretary of the capital's Ministry of Criminal Affairs. <Looks blank.

Chu Huan had already laughed and said: "Qiu Butang's Criminal Department, anyone who mentions it will be terrified. Entering the Criminal Department's yamen, it seems to have entered the gate of hell, but the imperial envoy of the Criminal Department has never entered, but Mr. Kou's." This imperial envoy has learned the lesson." <Laughing: "The imperial envoy is busy with his affairs, but he can still come to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to inspect it. It is really lucky for me to be an official. If there is anything wrong, I hope the imperial envoy My lord, please teach me a lot.”

Chu Huan had already shaken his head and said: "Master Kou is self-effacing. Your prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is airtight and seamless. Even this official, that is also admirable." Surrounded by Yu, Xiaguan and others, they left the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment and boarded the carriage. Kou Chun was still respectfully and bid farewell by the side of the carriage. Chu Huan raised his head and looked at the plaque of the Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Today is considered to have lost for a while.

What he is most worried about now is the whereabouts of He Xigu and the others. As He Xigu said, once the Guifang people in the [-]th Cave of Daqimeng Mountain know that their leader, the ghost master, has been arrested by the government, it will undoubtedly be a pity. Their biggest challenge, although they don't know the ghost people very well, but from He Gu's body and the "three thousand warriors" claimed by He Xigu, Chu Huan knows that the ghost people must be a group that is good at fighting. Being instigated by people with ulterior motives must be a big trouble.

After returning to the governor's mansion, Yuan Chongshang immediately sent someone to reorder the breakfast. There was no one else in the restaurant except Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan.

The door of the restaurant in the past was never closed, but after the breakfast was delivered today, not only the door was closed, but also the servants in front of and behind the door were screened.

Yuan Chongshang handed the letter back to Chu Huan, and said solemnly, "Master Chu, the Holy Majesty sent you here just to investigate this matter?"

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and said, "My lord sent me here. I have three things to do. Apart from this one, I also need to confiscate the property of the Huang family. The other is to help the governor put down the rebellion of the Huang family."

Yuan Chongshang immediately said: "Lord Chu, don't worry, apart from the first thing, the next two things are not difficult."

"Oh?" Chu Huan said with a smile: "The governor seems to be very confident."

"I have sent people to seal up all the houses of the Huang family in Taiyuan Mansion. I have also ordered to seal up all his shops and businesses. Everything is waiting for Mr. Chu to come and count. As for the land of the Huang family, we have already obtained it." The accounts and land deeds of the Huang family will be calculated by the Department of Household Affairs in cooperation with the adults."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and asked, "How is the situation at Yusuo Lake?"

Yuan Chongshang said: "Master Chu should have heard that Yusuo Lake is the largest lake in my Anyi Road, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are two islands in the lake." Having said that, he pushed the dishes on the table away , vacated a space, dipped his hands in tea, and drew a pattern in the shape of a jade lock on the table, "This is the shape of the jade lock lake. Here, and here, are the two islands in the lake. This is Liyu Island and this is Taiping Island. These two islands have a radius of tens of miles. After the founding of the country, Yusuo Lake was occupied by the Huang family and became their private lake. The aquatic products produced by Yusuo Lake every year accounted for our Anyi. Half of all the aquatic products in Dao, just for this one item, the Huang family makes a lot of profit every year, which is shocking."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I know that the Huang family is originally from a merchant family, and they value money very much. It seems that it is not a lie to say that their Huang family is rich as an enemy."

Yuan Chongshang said: "It's true. The Huang family's wealth is divided into two types: land and manors. Their family is on Anyi Road, and they have at least a dozen manors. Their family's land is not owned by the court. Collect taxes and rent them out to the common people for farming. In good years, [-]% of the members are drawn. In bad years, there is also a fixed rent. No matter whether it is a bad year or not, they will not be able to owe their Huang family, and the people planted theirs. If the Huang family has any projects to do, those people will have to serve in corvee for free." The governor obviously hated the Huang family deeply, and when he spoke, he clenched his fists and his eyes were full of resentment .
