If ordinary people went there rashly, but were blocked by the Ministry of Industry and refused to enter, it was possible.
But after all, the Baobao Lifting Department now has some cooperation with the Ministry of Industry. It is a bit unreasonable that they were blocked from entering after reporting the reason.
Although Han Du felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it and asked casually: "Where is Heizi's house? Have you sent anyone to check it out?"
"As soon as something like this happened, the little old man immediately sent someone to Heizi's house to check, but he just came back. Heizi's family said that he hadn't been home for two days, and they thought he was there. I'm working in the banknote bureau."
Although Mr. Huang looked panicked, he still told the matter clearly.
Snapped!
Han Du pressed the brush on the table, raised his head, and looked at Mr. Huang seriously.
Mr. Huang was at a loss when Han Du looked at him.
But without letting him wait any longer, Han Du said, "Prepare your horses. I'll go to the Ministry of Works to see what's going on."
"Hey!" Mr. Huang quickly nodded in agreement.
Han Du rushed to the Ministry of Industry and was stopped by the guard as soon as he reached the door.
"My lord, stop here. What business do you have at the Ministry of Industry?"
"I came to the Ministry of Industry to see Mr. He Peizhihe. I have no official business, so I hope that I can pass on the message." Han Du said politely, cupping his fists and saluting.
"I see," the guard returned Han Du's courtesy, "but it's unfortunate that your Excellency is here. Mr. He is at the Yu Heng Qing Officials' Office today and is no longer here. You can go there to find Mr. He."
Not here?
Han Du didn't think much about anything else. He asked the guard about the location of Yu Heng Qing Li Division, then said goodbye to him and headed towards Yu Heng Qing Li Division.
When he arrived at Yuhengqing, Han Du was stopped again. While he was explaining to the guards, he happened to see He Peizhi walking out.
Han Du immediately shouted, "Master He, please stay." After saying that, he dodged the guard and walked straight towards He Peizhi.
Seeing this, the guards could no longer stop him, so they let Han Du in.
He Peizhi heard someone calling him, and subconsciously looked up. The moment he saw Han Du, his face changed, and he turned around and pretended not to hear and left.
But Han Du was not far away from him in the first place. In just a moment, Han Du had already stopped in front of He Peizhi.
As a last resort, He Peizhi had no choice but to greet Han Du with a smile, "It turns out to be Mr. Han. Mr. Han no longer has money to promote the company, why do you come here?"
It sounds like he doesn't like coming here.
How could Han Du not hear such an obvious rejection?
Han Du glanced at He Peizhi and didn't care about it. Others were indifferent, and Han Du would not be enthusiastic with him. He was here to find Heizi today. As long as he found someone, he would turn around and leave. Who would bother to come to the Yamen of Yu Heng Qing Li Division?
"Xiaguan is here to find his people. Those few people under Xiaguan have been lent to you for such a long time. It's time to return them to Xiaguan, right?"
"So that's what happened," He Peizhi suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say. But..."
"But what?"
"But those people can't give it to you now. They were sent by you to teach the craftsmen to make cement. They can't leave until the cement is successfully made. You can wait." He Peizhi explained to Han Du.
What does it mean to not leave until cement production is successful? In other words, until now, cement has not been successfully produced after all this time?
What are Heizi and these people doing? Could it be that it took such a long time to teach the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry? Are these craftsmen all pigs?
He Peizhi originally thought that Han Du would leave after he said this.
After hearing this, Han Du shook his head and said, "Master He, Xiaguan's banknote bureau has important matters to be entrusted to Heizi. Well, let Heizi go back with Xiaguan first and wait for him to finish the matter. Once you’re done, let him come back, okay?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Han Du said these words, He Peizhi's expression suddenly changed, and he no longer looked as smiling as before.
Instead, his face turned gloomy and he sternly said to Han Du: "Han Du! Let your craftsmen from the Ministry of Education and Engineering make cement. This is the emperor's will. Now that the cement has not been successfully made, you want to take people away. Do you want to take him away?" You can't resist the order! I see that you are young and nothing matters. I am just an eighth-grade official. I don't care about you. If you know what you are doing, go back as soon as possible."
After saying that, He Peizhi flicked his sleeves, ignored Han Du and was about to leave.
Han Du's face darkened after hearing this, and he took a diagonal step to stop He Peizhi again.
"Your Majesty, are you suppressing the official?" Looking at He Peizhi with contemptuous eyes, Han Du lost all his patience and was no longer polite to him, "Although the emperor has decreed that the lower official send people to teach the Ministry of Engineering to make cement, But the emperor has never said that the people under Xiaguan will be given to the Ministry of Industry. Since Xiaguan has sent people to the Ministry of Industry to teach for so many days, it can be regarded as fulfilling the emperor’s will. As for whether you can’t learn it, that’s because you are stupid. , It has nothing to do with the official. Now if you give the person to the official, everything will be fine, otherwise, don’t worry about whether the official will show your respect."
"Handu!" He Peizhi's eyes widened and he shouted sternly: "I see you have forgotten where this is. This is the Yu Heng Qing Officials Department, not the Baoqian Lisi Department. You are not allowed to be presumptuous here. Come here, Send him out to me!"
When the surrounding guards heard He Peizhi's words, they immediately surrounded Han Du.
Han Du never thought that He Peizhi would turn against him and he would suffer a loss. Han Du, with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, immediately grabbed He Peizhi's wrist, twisted it, and lifted He Peizhi's arm onto his back.
"Ah..." He Peizhi screamed. He looked like a cooked shrimp, with his head bowed and his waist hunched over.
At this time, Han Du was free to hold He Peizhi's middle finger firmly in his hand.
Seeing that the guard was about to move forward, Han Du shouted, "Back off."
At the same time, the palm holding He Pei's middle finger was slightly bent.
"Ah!" He Peizhi screamed again and shouted quickly: "Back off, back off, back off for me, do you hear me..."
Seeing this, the guards no longer dared to step forward. Seeing that He Peizhi was not in danger for the time being, they all retreated.
Han Du smiled with satisfaction, loosened his palm slightly, and He Peizhi's screams stopped.
After regaining his breath, He Peizhi hunched over and yelled at Han Du: "Han Du, you bastard, let me go quickly. Do you know what the crime of kidnapping a court official in public is?"
What kind of crime would Han Du have to deal with at this time? He said sternly: "Don't forget, I am also an official of the imperial court. Whether you are guilty or not is not your decision, the emperor's decision is final."
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were inherently tough. Not to mention fighting in the government office, they even fought in front of the emperor, and some people were beaten to death in front of the emperor. Didn't the people who ended up fighting have nothing to do with it? Of course, that happened in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Now Lao Zhu is still sitting on the dragon throne, but no one dares to be so presumptuous in front of Lao Zhu.
"Let's go, take me to find someone now." Han Du completely ignored He Peizhi's threat and raised his finger, "Or do you want to suffer more?"
He Peizhi screamed again and quickly begged for mercy: "Go, go, this way, the people are over here."
Han Du just raised his head and raised his chest, holding one of He Peizhi's fingers in his hand, as if holding a little chicken, and looked for it in the direction He Peizhi pointed.
Han Du took He Peizhi away, leaving a few guards standing there at a loss. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and hurriedly went inside to notify other adults.
Han Du followed He Peizhi's instructions and came to the door of a room.
He kicked the door open unceremoniously, and the scene inside the house made Han Du's eyes wide open. Heizi and the other two were tied to pillars respectively. Their clothes had large and small gaps in them, and there were blood stains on them. It was obvious at a glance that they had been whipped with a whip.
"grown ups,"
"Sir..." When the people in the room saw the door being kicked open, their attention was attracted. When they saw He Peizhi hunched over Han Du, they quickly exclaimed and were about to come forward. .
"Get away!" Han Du's eyes widened and he unconsciously increased his strength in his hands.
"Ah!" He Peizhi screamed and scolded the others, "Back off, back off, get back to me immediately."
Heizi was obviously the most seriously injured. When he saw Han Du coming in, he smiled and didn't even say a word, as if saying more words would consume a lot of energy on his part.
The other two people were much more energetic than Heizi. When they saw Han Du coming in, they immediately shouted.
"grown ups".
"Sir, please save Heizi, please save us..."
Full of anger, Han Du leaned over He Peizhi and asked through gritted teeth, "Is this why you don't let me take people away?"
"Misunderstanding," He Peizhi's expression suddenly changed and he immediately shouted, "Handu, you misunderstood. This is because they have not taught the craftsmen to make cement for a long time. I thought that they were too precious and unwilling to hand over their cement skills, so I punished them with small punishments." Commandment, it’s definitely not what you look like.”
"Your Excellency, you are wronged." One of the craftsmen heard He Peizhi's words and quickly complained to Han Du. "Your Majesty, it's not that we kept our secrets and didn't teach them. It's that they didn't follow what we said. The lime didn't work. The ash was not ground finely enough, so they were used to burn cement. If they failed, they blamed us, saying that we were hiding our own secrets and did not teach them the real skills. Then they were tied up and beaten. Sir, we were wronged. ....."
Han Du was extremely angry and asked softly in He Peizhi's ear, "Is that so? Lord He?"
"Han Du, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, why bother? Why bother with a few craftsmen?" He Peizhi softened his tone and persuaded Han Du, "Let me go and treat these things as nothing today." Can you see it? I won’t care about what you did to me."
He Peizhi began to discuss conditions with Han Du.
Everyone present heard it and closed their mouths one by one.
