"Sir Guo," Zhang He looked at Guo Binchang with a half-smile and said, "Sir Guo, you won't even listen to the governor's words, will you?"
"That won't happen." Guo Binchang shook his head quickly.
Zhang He smiled and said, "Then it's settled, Master Xu and Master Guo will go back to Lingqiu together."
"This" Guo Binchang hesitated for a moment, knowing that he couldn't escape, then said, "Can you please go back and prepare for the case before hearing it?"
Zhang He looked at Guo Binchang with a smile, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, the files are all ready, and here is the petition paper."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the only square table in the room, picking up a piece of white paper filled with words from it.
"Master Xu, why don't you hurry up and submit the petition to Mr. Guo?"
The paper in his hand was handed forward.
Xu Shunping took it in his hand, turned around and handed it to Guo Binchang, saying, "Please let Mr. Qingtian make the decision. The common people will sue Liu Heng, the proprietor of the Tiger Flag, for murdering other people's lives and taking away my Xu family's ancestral property."
The moment he saw the paper, Guo Binchang frowned.
The ink on the pleading paper is all new, and it was obviously written not long ago. Judging from the rhyme of the fonts on it, the person who wrote the pleading paper is most likely the staff member Zhang in front of him.
Zhang He smiled and said, "Master Guo, I've handed you the petition, just accept it."
Guo Binchang knew that he couldn't hide, so he put away the petition and said, "Since I have accepted Master Xu's petition, I will try the case as soon as possible. I won't stay any longer and will go back to Lingqiu now." Prepare."
"Master Guo is really diligent and loves the people. Seeing that the new year is approaching and there are cases to be tried, it's really hard work." Zhang He bowed his hand to Guo Binchang.
"Haha, it's not hard work. As parents of Lingqiu, I naturally have to uphold justice for the people of Lingqiu." Guo Binchang replied with a smile.
His heart has already begun to curse, and he won't be left alone even during the Chinese New Year, and is now involved in such a worrying job.
"Then Mr. Guo, let's go." Zhang He raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Guo Binchang nodded and walked out of the house until he came to the gate of the governor's office.
"Mr. Zhang, please come back."
Standing on the steps outside the governor's office, Guo Binchang bowed his hands towards Zhang He.
Zhang He smiled and said, "I will accompany Mr. Guo back to Lingqiu."
Guo Binchang was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't be joking. The New Year is coming soon. Mr. Zhang will be indispensable for the governor. Don't worry about the Xu family's case, Mr. Zhang, I will handle it impartially."
Zhang Heyi waved his hand and said, "This case concerns the governor's relatives, so the governor attaches great importance to it. If you want to know the outcome of the case as soon as possible, I have no choice but to go back to Lingqiu with Mr. Guo. I hope Mr. Guo will not dislike it." "
"Lingqiu is a long way, and it's hard work all the way. Mr. Zhang still stays in Datong. As soon as the case is concluded, I will send someone to Datong as soon as possible to tell Mr. Zhang the result." Guo Binchang said with his hands raised.
Naturally, he didn't want Zhang He to follow him to Lingqiu.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang He waved his hand and said, "From Taiyuan to the capital, and all the way from the capital to Datong, neither Datong nor Lingqiu is easy. What's more, the governor has sent several followers to me, and they will go to Lingqiu together. mound."
Only then did Guo Binchang notice that Zhang He was followed by several soldiers wearing helmets and armor.
I heard Zhang He continue to say, "If Lord Guo really feels sorry for me, why not settle the case years ago, so that I can go back to Datong to celebrate the New Year."
Guo Binchang frowned.
He didn't think that Zhang He in front of him was being polite to him. I'm afraid the governor wanted him to settle the case before the year.
Thinking of this, his heart became even more bitter, as the other party left him no room for change.
Guo Binchang had no choice but to say, "If Mr. Zhang doesn't mind the trouble, why not take a carriage with me and we'll return to Lingqiu right now."
"Then I'll bother Mr. Guo." Zhang He smiled and cupped his hands.
There is a short distance from Lingqiu to Datong, so it is naturally impossible to take a sedan chair. Guo Binchang's carriage is parked in the open space on the left side outside the governor's office gate.
Guo Binchang brought a coachman with him when he came to Datong this time. When he returned, he had an extra carriage, an extra team of people, and something to worry about.
Xu Shunping sat alone in another carriage.
Even though the two men called him young master, both Zhang He and Guo Binchang knew that this young master only had a false reputation, and his status was not even as good as the servants around the governor.
"Great Khan, there are a lot of rumors about the Tiger Flag in the grasslands recently, and there are many strange herdsmen around my ranch."
Jamukha came to the sweat tent and reported the situation of the pasture to Shitu.
Bu Shitu held a golden cup in his hand, and the aroma of wine overflowed from it. Jamuhe often drank this kind of wine, and when he smelled it, he knew it was sorghum wine from Tiger Character Flag.
"Have the herdsmen done anything extraordinary?" Bu Shitu asked.
Jamuheyi shook his head and said, "Not yet, but rumors about the Tiger Flag continue to spread. More and more herdsmen are gathering around the tribe, and my subordinates are worried that something will happen sooner or later."
"Since the people in the Tiger Character Banner are not willing to sell their goods to the herdsmen, it is normal for such things to happen. Don't pay attention to it." Bu Shitu said with dissatisfaction, still remembering the last time the Tiger Character Banner rejected him.
The original goods of the Tiger Character Flag, as well as the goods purchased from the Fanji Chamber of Commerce, and the goods snatched from the Fanji Chamber of Commerce, together added up to nearly a hundred yurts of goods. As the Great Khan, he only allowed the Tiger Character Flag to Qi sells half of the goods to herdsmen at low prices. He doesn't think this is excessive.
Fanji Chamber of Commerce can sell goods to herdsmen at low prices, and Tiger Flag can do the same. He does not think that selling goods to herdsmen at the low price of Fanji Chamber of Commerce will cause Tiger Flag to lose money. At most, Tiger Flag will make less money.
"Great Khan." Jamukha said, "Most of the herdsmen around the Tiger Flag warehouse are from Bansheng City. My subordinates suspect that there is someone behind this incident."
"You mean this matter has something to do with Su Nang?" Bu Shitu frowned slightly.
"I'm just worried," Jamuka said.
Bu Shitu took a sip of the wine from the golden cup and showed hesitation. After a moment, he said, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. If someone from the Tiger Flag comes to find me, just say that I am not here."
Jamuka was stunned for a moment. Immediately he understood that the Great Khan was going to hide.
As the general of the guard beside the Great Khan, he was not happy with what the Great Khan did, but he still bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."
Bu Shitu thought for a while and then said, "You should go back to the ranch now and tell our herdsmen that this is the business of the Ming Dynasty merchants themselves and no one is allowed to interfere."
Jamuka frowned and said, "Many of them are herdsmen from Su Nang. They may not listen to their subordinates."
Bu Shitu said dissatisfied, "I don't ask you to take care of others. You only need to take care of our own herdsmen."
Jamukha understood.
Not only did the Great Khan ignore the herdsmen who came to his pasture, he also asked the herdsmen in the pasture to indulge the behavior of other herdsmen. This was tantamount to completely allowing those herdsmen to deal with the Tiger Flag.
