“Gong Zhang, I have brought it back.” Zhang Jiuling and Wei Yuefeng were eating slowly, but they were moving outside.

“Put the torch on.” Zhang Jiuling put down the chopsticks, got up and walked out, Wei Yuefeng quickly followed.

Ministry of Shipping Industry is a big government office, and there is a three-story wooden building. Zhang Jiuling does not work and rest in the wooden building.

The wooden building plays a lookout and defensive role and acts as a warehouse by the way.

Ministry of Shipping Industry has 550 manpower. Zhang Jiuling and the people brought by his hometown are not at ease with the locals in Guangzhou.

Trade involves too much money, heaven knows who the locals have to do with.

Five hundred are purely rural soldiers. Fifty people belong to students. Some of them are older than Zhang Jiuling. They cannot pass the imperial examination, and they cant do it in the state.

Zhang Jiuling needs documents, recruits people, and carefully inquires about the situation in Fang Family. Any misconduct is not allowed.

He is well-known in his hometown, and he resigned to build the road directly. It was Ch_ng’n Bashui Li Family Farmstead Master who paid the money, and His Majesty gave the will.

The repaired road has benefited countless people. I heard that he is going to Guangzhou to be a city porter and needs manpower. People from his hometown enthusiastically signed up.

The people who came were loyal to him. As soon as he ordered, the torch ignited in the courtyard.

A piece of man was placed on the ground, his hands were tied behind the rope and his mouth was gagged.

From the expression point of view, I was very flustered. When I saw Zhang Jiuling in official clothes, someone would use his nose to make a sound.

Zhang Jiuling walked towards a person, and Wei Yuefeng held a kerosene lamp to illuminate it.

Zhang Jiuling looks at each other, and the other side looks up at Zhang Jiuling’s’wu wu’.

Zhang Jiuling personally untied the other party’s gag rope, and this person moved his tongue to push out the cloth in his mouth.

“Bah, baah! Zhang Gong, I don’t know what the officer did wrong, you arrested the officer here?” This person spat twice and raised his head to question.

“Jiejie, as a County Magistrate, how can you be greedy for ink? The road from Shuyuan County to Nanhai County, the prefectural government office, is repaired. Why don’t you benefit the people of Shuyuan County?”

Zhang Jiuling talked directly about the matter and didn’t go around in circles.

“Which one said the official didn’t repair it?” Yan Jie struck his neck.

“So, you know that you spend twice the money to repair, and the extra money goes to you Yan Surname?” Zhang Jiuling knows the situation in the entire county.

The officials of the county yamen are almost all named Yan, and Yan Surname is very powerful in the local area.

“It has nothing to do with you, you are the city envoy, not the Guangzhou Provincial Governor.” Yan Jie did not hide it at all, but made it clear.

“I pay the money.” Zhang Jiuling made sense. How can you double the money I take? Do you think I dont know how to build roads?

“hmph!” Yan Xie turned his head, as if you were treating me.

The Deputy County Yan Gang, who is in charge of the specific operation, was not there to answer, and he made two sounds of’wu wu’.

Zhang Jiuling went to open his mouth again.

“Bah! Zhang Shibo, we promise to repair the road. You don’t need to take care of the rest.” Yan Gang was also tough.

“It seems that Guangzhou Provincial Governor should be changed.” Zhang Jiuling understood everything, and the other party was confident.

The entire Xiyuan County belongs to others, and has a good relationship with Guangzhou Provincial Governor, even a group of people.

Zhang Jiuling is embarrassed. He has no right to deal with the magistrates directly, unless the other party commits smuggling and tax evasion.

Wei Yuefeng said with a smile: “Aiya, a group of people in Shiyuan County went to the Ministry of Shipping Industry to discuss with Zhang Shishi envoy to inspect local tax evasion.

Everyone is in the building. Rest, I dont want a big fire from the sky. I came to rescue when I knew it, but I was in no hurry. Many good officials were buried in the fire sea.”

He put the kerosene lamp on the ground and went to pick up the block. Mouth cloth and rope.

“What do you want to do? Do you want to kill the officer? My officer… come, help, woo! wu wu wu! wu wu wu.” Yan Bang shouted, his mouth gagged.

Wei Yuefeng went to pick up cloth and rope again, and walked towards Yan Jie.

“Wait a minute, I have something to discuss. It’s just a little money for road construction, why should I do this? Refund, refund.” Yan Jie stared at Zhang Jiuling.

Zhang Jiuling looked at Wei Yuefeng, holding back a smile, picked up the kerosene lamp on the ground, and strolled into the house.

“80% of the money for normal road construction is enough.” Yan Jie said quickly.

Zhang Jiuling continued to walk.

“50%, the whole county will be repaired quickly and well.” Yan Jie went down again.

Zhang Jiuling did not hear.

“No money, Yan Surname is willing to donate money to build roads for my hometown.” Yan Jie was about to cry.

“Okay, write an essay.” Zhang Jiuling stopped, turned around, with a smile in his eyes.

“It saves wine.” Wei Yuefeng threw things on the ground.

“What to do with wine?” Zhang Jiuling finally laughed.

“Pour alcohol, get drunk, loosen the rope on the hand and start the fire. They drank too much and did not run out, otherwise there will be traces of tied things, strangled and burned, there is no soot under the throat.”

Wei Yuefeng gave an answer.

“Do you still know how to write?” Zhang Jiuling smiled even more.

“Listen to Master Li at Li Family Farmstead.” Wei Yuefeng followed with a smile.

The expression of fear in the eyes of the other people who are tied up, think about how to harm others? Or technical operation?

The pen and ink were brought over, and Yan Jie was watched and wrote according to Zhang Jiuling’s request.

After writing, press the handprint instead of the seal. The seal represents the county government and has nothing to do with Yan Surname.

The other arrested people pressed their fingerprints one after another. Some of them didn’t. They didn’t belong to Yan Surname, they were regarded as dependent on Yan Surname.

Either don’t do things in the yamen, you must listen to things.

“Sent into the building, you are wronged tonight.” Zhang Jiuling held a fluttering piece of paper without a smile on his face.

A group of people were sent into the building and continued to be tied up, taking off the things from their mouths, gagged to death for fear that someone would fall asleep.

Zhang Jiuling and Wei Yuefeng went back and continued to eat and drink.

“Ms. Zhang, would they be willing to build roads?” Wei Yuefeng was not sure. After that, the group of people refused to admit it and caught it again?

“It doesn’t matter if you repair it or not. The Ministry of Shipping Industry makes too much money, and some people are jealous. Today is Xiyuan County, and others are watching.”

Zhang Jiuling didn’t let his thoughts go. With Yan Surname in Shiyuan County, he can’t help worrying more people.

It turns out that Guangzhou officials will benefit from buying and selling things in Guangzhou.

The Ministry of Shipping Industry was established and taxes are collected. When money flows into the Ministry of Shipping Industry, what should those who can make a little profit before?

Including Guangzhou Provincial Governor, joining the army and the others, big fortunes are in front of you, and the Provincial Governor in a remote place must be sad.

As for road construction, what does the road have to do with them? They can’t see the road, only the valuable goods.

Wei Yuefeng think about it, nodded: “Yan Surname will not be moved. They go back and do not build roads, and even stop merchants passing by them, or pretend to be robbers and rob.”

“You are smart. It was good to scare people before.” Zhang Jiuling nodded.

“What shall we do?” Wei Yuefeng always felt that he and Zhang Jiuling were in the same camp.

Zhang Jiuling helped him arrest people, took the loss back, and added extra.

If Zhang Jiuling can’t go on, but someone else, how will his group of people do business?

The local officials must not unite with the new city envoy to clean up themselves.

Zhang Jiuling took a sip of wine: “We have money.”

“Yes, they want to grab it!” Wei Yuefeng followed a sip of wine, his mouth was bitter.

“Our money belongs to the Imperial Court. I will write a letter and send it back with pigeons.” Zhang Jiuling was relieved and made up his mind.
