Even if no one asks, as long as Han Du intervenes, he can blackmail Han Du with this matter.
Han Du understood the trap in Zou Xing's words as soon as he heard it, and handed the paper back to him casually, "The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules. You are a county official. Since Lu Jian has done so many things under your nose, It's an evil thing. How to judge it is up to you according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty."
Zou Xing felt a pity when he saw Han Du suddenly brushing off the matter with Lu Jian and using the Ming Law as a shield.
But now that the matter was over, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he took the paper and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will not let a bad person go. I will definitely deal with Lu Jian's crimes one by one." Check properly."
Han Du glanced at the paper and saw that one of the crimes contained in it was enough to put Lu Jian to death. If you really want to find out everything one by one, do you want Lu Jian's body to be wiped out?
However, this is what Lu Jian deserves.
Seeing that Jing Haibo had no intention of continuing to talk about Lu Jian, Zou Xing felt relieved. Seeing Luo Guo standing nearby, he asked politely: "May I ask who this old man is?"
Luo Guo was stunned. He didn't know why the county magistrate asked him. He didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Han Du.
Han Du smiled and explained: "This is Luo Guo, a citizen of your county. He was chased by Lu Jian all the way, and he happened to meet Uncle Ben here. It just so happened that Luo Guo could help with what Ben had to do. Let him serve the imperial court."
"It turns out to be Brother Luo. I'm glad to meet you." It was this old man just now, but now he heard Han Du say that Luo Guo was serving the imperial court. Zou Xing immediately changed his mind and called Brother Luo.
"I wonder where Brother Luo's house is. Since we all work for Jing Haibo, we must get close to each other in the future." Since he is his subordinate, Zou Xing will naturally take this opportunity to get closer to Luo Guo.
Luo Guo lived a lifetime, although he had little experience. But at this time, he still wondered why his own county magistrate would be so polite to him. Silent and didn't answer.
Even though Zou Xing saw that Luo Guo ignored him, he didn't care at all and said casually: "Since I know Lu Jian, I should be in the same household as him, right?"
Luo Guo saw that the county magistrate still refused to give up asking, so he could only grit his teeth and nod, "Yes."
"Haha, that's a good relationship." Zou Xing clapped his hands excitedly, as if Luo Guo had solved some huge problem for him. "Lv Jian, this heinous person, has been punished, but the seat of the chief here is vacant. I was still worried just now, but now it seems that it is God's will to let me take up the burden of the chief. Old man From now on, I will be the head of the house, and Lu Jian’s house has been taken over by the Yamen. Now I just don’t have to worry about the two owners, so I will give it to my brother."
"What, how is this?" Luo Guo panicked after hearing what the county magistrate said. This was a promise of a seat and a house, which made Luo Guo feel unhappy for a while.
"What's wrong?" Zou Xing waved his hand, not giving Luo Guo a chance to refuse. "This official can be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people."
Is this considered taking something from the people and using it for the people? The people on the side were shocked by Zou Xing's words, and at the same time, they had a deeper understanding of the shamelessness of civil servants.
Luo Guo was about to refuse, but saw Han Du slightly nodding towards him. When Luo Guo refused, he immediately changed his mind and nodded in agreement. "Then, thank you, parents."
"Hey, if you say this, it's a big deal. It's a big deal... Hahaha." Zou Xing held Luo Guo's hand, as if the two of them had hit it off.
Seeing that Luo Guo had been comforted, Zou Xing turned to Han Du and said, "Uncle, it's getting late today, and the official has prepared a banquet at the official residence. Why don't you drink a glass of wine to warm yourself up? The sea breeze here is so cold that it's very cold." Human beings are not suitable for staying with a noble man like me for a long time."
Han Du is not a rigid person. Even if he stays here today, it is impossible for the corvee craftsmen to gather immediately. Anyway, the navy will definitely not be able to arrive today, so it is better to take a rest. You can also supervise Magistrate Zou when you go, so that he doesn't dare to be perfunctory.
"Then Magistrate Laozou will have to worry about it." Han Du smiled and nodded.
"My uncle is serious. I am honored to be able to come to my humble residence. I am so honored!" Zou Xing quickly led the way and extended his hand to respectfully ask Han Du to move.
"Uncle, please!"
The group went to the county to take a short rest.
The next day, Han Du came here again early in the morning, looking at the sea and waiting for news from the navy.
The first batch of corvees and craftsmen who arrived were already starting to build the plank road. Apart from anything else, Magistrate Zou's mobilization ability is still good. In one day, he summoned more than 300 people.
The sun was about to hit the sky, but there was still no movement on the sea. Han Du couldn't help but become anxious, and looked up from time to time.
When Zhang Chao saw it, he said reassuringly: "Uncle, don't worry, Jiang Ming is always cautious in doing things. He will definitely bring the warship here."
"His uncle is naturally relieved," Han Du sighed. Although the agreed time has passed, Han Du also knows that the situation in the sea is complicated, and he might be delayed by something.
I had no choice but to continue waiting.
The sun was high in the sky, and even after Han Du looked back one after another, there was still no trace of the warship.
Just when Han Du was worried, Zhang Chao suddenly stood up. He raised his hand and pointed to the sea in the distance, "Uncle, look, the ship is coming."
Han Du turned around and looked around, and sure enough he saw three large ships approaching slowly.
"Haha, okay, Jiang Ming has lived up to my uncle's high expectations." Han Du laughed happily and told Zhang Chao, "Go and call them all over, let's get on the boat."
"Okay."
Although these three naval warships cannot be compared with the three ships from Longjiang Bao Shipyard, they are still more than three feet tall and look like three giant beasts lying across the sea.
Ordinary people thought they had seen such a big ship and ordered them to slow down their work, secretly watching and talking about it. Even the county government looked dumbfounded when they saw the people doing corvee work, and had no intention of caring about whether the people were doing their work.
When Han Du saw everyone coming, he waved his hand, "Let's go to the beach and get ready to get on the boat."
The warship is so big, and the plank road here has not been repaired, so it is obviously impossible to get on the ship directly.
Only when the warship lowered the boat could Han Du and others be brought aboard.
Han Du took a glance and found that Luo Guo was not there, and couldn't help but be surprised. Looking up, she saw him talking to Luo Daisi.
He walked over and asked, "Luo Guo, you are not ready to get on the ship, what are you doing here?"
