Mao Yi led a group of soldiers, together with Xu He and a group of people from Hailing County, and walked towards the dock not far away with murderous intent.
Mao Yi sincerely wanted to help Xu He regain his position, but everyone in Hailing County was almost depressed by the people in Caosi Yamen.
Now that they have strong support, they all have to roll up their sleeves and trouser legs to prepare for a fight with the Kaosi Yamen.
When the waterworkers on the dock saw this group of people, they were so frightened that they placed their grain bags on the ground and stood aside without making a sound.
Not long after walking, Xu He saw a group of civil servants in green and blue robes arguing around a general in the distance.
Seeing this, Mao Yi turned to Xu He and said, "Do you know any of these people?"
Xu He took a closer look and saw that they were all acquaintances.
The one who yelled the most fiercely was the old man in charge, the old man in his fifties, the uncle's former subordinate, the guy named Gong.
The rest are also familiar.
Li Xing, Guan Quan, Guan Cang, including Chang Yingcang's Cang Ambassador, were all the same guys who had played tricks on him before.
When Mao Yi heard this, he smiled evilly, turned to the commander of the soldiers and said, "Go and catch them all!"
The corps commander wondered: "Military sect, they are all civil servants!"
Mao Bao glared and cursed: "What's wrong with the civil servants? It's you people who have spoiled them like this. I'm going to make these civil servants lose face today!"
Uncle Liu was afraid that things would get serious, so he whispered a few words into the boss's ear.
After hearing this, Mr. Nabo suddenly smiled and said: "This is okay, this is okay!"
After saying that, he led a group of burly men off the pier.
This group of people quickly came to the group of civil servants, and saw that the corps leader said something, which immediately caused the group of civil servants to quarrel non-stop.
In the end, the team leader simply waved his hand, and his men swarmed up and turned the group of people towards the embankment.
The group of civil servants in the middle looked very angry, but who knew that the group of soldiers were so bad. They were crowded together, and you were a black tiger eating out your heart while he was a monkey stealing peaches, which made the group of civil servants scream in surprise.
Chief Gong was quite old. He didn't know which punch hit his vital part. Tears burst out of his eyes instantly. His throat felt like it was being strangled by a rope, and he screamed like a girl.
When Hu County Cheng on the embankment saw this scene, he felt so happy. If it weren't for the inconvenience of being crowded in this place, he would definitely have to take off his boots and rub his feet to add to the fun.
When this group of people were escorted in front of Xu He and Mao Yi, a group of civil servants saw Mao Yi and became very angry.
"Mao Junmen, if you allow your subordinates to commit crimes, I will definitely take part in your investigation!"
"Mao Bao, don't dare to do whatever you want just because your ancestors have made meritorious deeds. I will tell Ma Junmen what happened today when I get back!"
"Who did it just now? If you have the ability, please stand up for me!"
The person in charge of Hong Kong, Lao Gong, is the worst. He is still holding his lower body and gasping, unable to say a word!
Mao Yi said coldly: "Meet me? I want to ask you, why are you here so early in the morning?"
The chief criminal surnamed Hou glared at Mao Biao and said: "I heard that someone was seizing a ship and not releasing it, so I came here to have a look!"
Mao Yi sneered and turned to look at the other person: "What about you?"
That man was the director of Guanquan of the Water Transport Yamen. This official was responsible for water sources and river dredging. It could be said that the things on the wharf had nothing to do with him, so Mao Biao asked.
The boss was scratching his head and thought for a long time but couldn't think of an explanation.
In fact, they were doing a good job in the yamen today, but suddenly the superiors heard that the canal boat was seized by the Caoying people and was being sent to Hailing County, so the superiors asked someone to come down and instruct Chief Gong to stop it. I just want to compete with the people in Caoying.
At this critical moment of fighting for the right to speak, Chief Gong tried to figure out his boss's intentions and naturally did not dare to relax. Later, he joined forces and simply summoned a group of middle and lower-level officials from the Cao Division.
At this time, Uncle Liu stood up and raised his hands to a group of civil servants and said: "My lords, I'm sorry, my military gate has just received a secret report, saying that there are Japanese pirates sneaking into the fifth dam in an attempt to disrupt water transportation, so I specially brought troops to suppress them!"
Chief Gong was furious when he heard this. It has been calm in Nanzhi recently. Have you ever heard of Japanese pirates?
Even if Japanese pirates are also in eastern Zhejiang recently?
Why don't you find a better excuse when you're on horseback? Don't be so perfunctory, okay?
After all, the chief of the punishment department was directly sent to Cao Si by the Ministry of Punishment. After hearing this, he immediately said in a loud voice: "There is no need to accuse me. How can I, an official of the Ministry of Punishment, collude with the Japanese pirates? It is clearly your Cao camp who arrests people at will. I will go back After that, I will write a book to visit your Cao camp, and you all just wait for me!"
Who is Mao Yi? A typical noble second-generation ancestor who is used to being arrogant. When he saw that a small sixth-rank chief of the Ministry of Justice dared to bare his teeth in front of him, he immediately became furious and said: "You bastard, you colluded with the Japanese pirates and withheld the grain for disaster relief. You all have to pay back." You are all polite, you can participate, I will also write a note when I get back to see whose words your majesty believes!"
Emperor Zhengzheng may not necessarily believe in Mao Biao, but he couldn't help but think that these civil servants were also crooked.
They were not afraid of being accused of colluding with Japanese pirates, but it was indeed true that they withheld disaster relief food.
Thinking of this, all the civil servants stopped talking.
At this moment, Chief Gong, who had been covering his lower body and groaning, suddenly said: "Since Mao Junmen said that we were colluding with the Japanese pirates, then fine, this grain ship is evidence of the crime, and we will keep it until the court sends someone to investigate." Shipping!”
"This..." When Mao Yi heard this, he suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
When the civil servants heard this, they immediately came to their senses. Old Gong seemed to be an honest man on weekdays, but he had many clever ideas at critical moments.
Don’t you Hailing need food?
Let's wait until the imperial court sends someone to find out the problem before allocating the money. It just so happens that the food has not been allocated, and there is no excuse. Now you, Mao Biao, have given us an excuse.
Mao Yi was so angry that he turned around and glared at Uncle Liu who had come up with this bad idea.
Uncle Liu was also aggrieved. These civil servants were so rotten.
Just when Xu He thought he was going to be in trouble again today, suddenly a sound of gongs sounding in the distance came.
Everyone present was attracted by the sound and looked over.
A group of civil servants straightened their backs when they saw the green-roofed sedan chair and the flag in front of their heads.
"Great, the people in Caoying have wronged us, and now Master Shima, the patrolling censor, is here! Let's ask him to provide us with justice!"
The patrol censors are the thirteen supervisory censors who internally rectify official corruption in hundreds of departments, either by impeaching them in person or by sealing them with official impeachments.
Outside, he patrolled the Qing army, supervised schools, inspected salt, tea horses, canals, customs, collected transportation, printed horses, and farmed fields.
Generally, it is filled by the seventh-grade supervisory censor.
Why did a group of fifth- and sixth-grade officials seem to see a savior when they saw the little seventh-grade supervisory censor?
This is because the patrol censors have the power to inspect, inspect, impeach, and report matters related to water transportation.
It can be said that he was the eyes and ears placed by the emperor in Huai'an to supervise the administration of Cao. His importance was no less than that of the governor and general of Cao.
Although Mao Yi was not afraid of the Cao Patrolling Censor, after all, this was a sensitive moment for his Mao family in Huai'an. If the Cao Patrolling Censor read a book, it would be worse for the Mao family's status.
