"You mean, those Japanese people pretend to be water bandits and loot in my Nanmin Province? Nephew, is there any evidence for what you said? The two countries have been diplomatic relations for a long time, and although they are not as good as brothers, they are considered good neighbors. This is really unbelievable

ah……"

Meng Fan was very surprised. Their Great Wei has always been a powerful country among the nations. Although there have been constant natural disasters in recent years, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. How dare they do it easily?

Chu Ci shook his head and said, "This matter is just my guess. It is said that the looted ships are sharp at both ends and the speed of the ship is very fast. It is not the standard of my Great Wei ships. I think it must be made by the Gentiles. Every time the navy chases them, he goes to the front.

They would all surround the reef groups in the sea and hide, leaving the hunted navy helpless. After thinking about it carefully, only Japan is the closest to Nanmin Province. I think they must be very clear about the terrain distribution of these reef groups, right?

”

"What you said makes some sense..." After listening to his analysis, Meng Fan felt that he was not aimless and admired Chu Ci even more.

"The most important thing is that I heard that Japan paid tribute every year during the Jiayou Dynasty, but now it is Tianhe three years. However, they only sent people to the new emperor ascend the throne, even held in the capital last year

They didn't come to Wenhui. Neighboring countries have sent envoys to Beijing. Such behavior will inevitably arouse people's suspicion."

Meng Fan's face became solemn: "You are right. The Japanese are living in a small place. The wolf's ambition must be to take advantage of the weak moment of the Great Wei Dynasty. I will write to you later and let them be more careful!"

Chu Ci nodded. It would be best if this matter was taken seriously by everyone. Don’t treat them as ordinary water bandits to handle the case. He believed that with Meng Fan and the Fang family, they must have both the Governor’s Office and the Navy Office.

The one who can speak.

After warning, Chu Ci stood up and said goodbye. Aunt Fang wanted to keep him, but Chu Ci had already recorded his name in the inn. If he didn't live there, it would probably cause suspicion and leave a handle.

Aunt Fang had no choice but to let him go.

That night, Chu Ci and Chang Xiao lived in the guest room of the inn together. Chang Xiao was young and explained what he had learned today and fell asleep immediately after explaining what he had learned outside. Chu Ci thought about tomorrow for a while and imagined

After a while of how to deal with it, I closed my eyes and began to regain my energy.

Early the next morning, Chu Ci and Chang Xiao left the inn. They came to a remote inn and found a person in a shop in the backyard.

This man was the yellow peddler. When he was found, he was lying on the bed with his clothes in his clothes, his eyes covered with red silk were staring straight at the ceiling, his face was blue and swollen, as if he had been beaten up.

"Brother Huang, do you still remember us?"

When the Huang peddler heard this, he slowly turned his head and saw the person clearly. When he saw that he was crying in his eyes, he forced himself to take it back.

"It's Brother Kou, I'll make you laugh, sit down." He moved slowly when he turned over. I think there were many injuries other than the face.

"Brother Huang, how could you be here alone, your sister and brother-in-law?" Chu Ci asked with concern.

"He...they..." When talking about them, Huang peddler choked up, "They were arrested by the magistrate of Wu County!"

It turned out that the scholar named Han went to the local county government office as soon as he got ashore. I don’t know what he said. Before the boss’s ship could leave the dock, a group of yamen came to take them away.

The Huang peddler followed behind and saw that they had gone to court. The county magistrate and the scholar said something in confusion, so they made a judgment, asking the boss of the ship to compensate the three scholars for a total of 100 taels of silver.

God, they are afraid they will never see one hundred taels in their lives, let alone have one. But the county magistrate said that if they can't raise money, they will be beaten and sent to the board. When the property is confiscated, the money will probably be able to be collected.

come out.

Praiser Huang was dissatisfied and wanted to come forward to argue, but was persuaded by the people who came with him. They said that only by going to the prefect's office to complain could the county magistrate take back the verdict. Praiser Huang heard this, and rushed to the provincial capital.

Before he could beat the drum, he was beaten by the yamen guarding the door for disturbing official duties and threw it out.

"It's outrageous!" Chu Ci said angrily, "They don't even give you the chance to seek justice! Let's go to the yamen to reason with you."

The price of ringing the drum of the voice is to be beaten thirty boards, but after the fight, you can get the opportunity to seek justice. What is the reason why they beat someone but don’t let them seek justice?

"Brother Kou, thank you for your kindness." Huang peddler wiped his face, "But I can't implicate you. I'll go again later. If they don't let me in, I will..."

His eyes were full of anger, and some of them were determined. Chu Ci was shocked. He was afraid that this man would do something stupid!

"Don't say whether you are implicated or not. I have a way to make you sue for success, but you may be beaten again. Do you dare?" Chu Ci said.

The Huang peddler had some hope in his eyes: "Brother Kou, if you really let me complain, what's the point of being afraid of if I was beaten half a life?"

He lost his parents since he was a child, and his elder sister pulled him up. Now that his elder sister and brother-in-law have suffered, he will save them even if he fights to death.

"Then you are like this..."

Chu Ci carefully told his plan. The more Huang peddler heard, his eyes brighter, and the despair that had just surrounded him had disappeared at some point.

...

"avoid!"

Navy Admiral Fan Ju went out to inspect the ceremonial guards from the yamen, and the officers and soldiers held evasion signs to open the way in front. The people on both sides did not dare to approach this side, but only watched by the roadside, leaving a middle avenue for Lord Fan's ceremonial guards.

past.

"Sir!" Huang Cheung suddenly rushed out of the crowd and stopped him in front of the ceremonial war.

He was shocked to hold the sign and stopped, and the one behind him stopped. Because he was too quick, the sedan chair carrying the person shook a few times.

"What happened!" Fan Ju said angrily. He was worried about the water bandits, and now he was not worried about crossing the street! When the emperor opened his mouth, he ordered them to catch people within a month.

But it is not that simple to suppress bandits. But just a few months have passed and there is no gain. He, the admiral, is scolded every day, and the people below are also angry.

"Sir, someone broke into the ceremonial guard in front." The officers and soldiers in front trotted over to report.

Fan Ju said: "The countryside people don't understand the rules, just beat him up and drive him out."

After hearing this, the officers and soldiers went to the front to prepare for someone to execute, and also let others see the consequences of disturbing the ceremonial war. Unexpectedly, as soon as he announced the result, the man shouted loudly: "Sir, you can't hit me!

Can't hit me!"

Everyone was shocked. Do you think you are the son of the King of Heaven? You can’t beat him yet!

Fan Ju heard it from afar and thought he was a great person, so he immediately signaled to put down the sedan chair and walked out. After he saw clearly that the person came was just an ordinary citizen, he sneered and said, "How can I not beat you?

Let me tell you something?"

Huang peddler said, "I know you are an official at the sea and are in charge of sea affairs. This is on the ground and it is not yours. Even if you want to fight, I should go to the county government to be beaten!"

Fan Ju was amused by him: "I thought you were a common person who was promoted to fight. It was common for you to be ungrateful, but you were ungrateful. Today I will tell you to know what it means to manage the sea and land. Come on, beat him five major boards!"

The people on the roadside heard the sound of the board "slap" and all their expressions were thrust. Everyone thought that this yellow peddler was really unable to control his mouth. It was obviously a matter of two boards, but in the end it turned into five boards. This foot wide

The board is solid, and he can make his skin fragile.

The yellow peddler was also tough. He didn't say a word when he was hitting the board, and just gritted his teeth and let them beat him.

After the fight, Fan Ju turned around and was about to return to the sedan chair. Another voice came from behind: "Sir, the people who have grievances need to be complained!"

Fan Ju frowned: "I only care about patrolling the sea, no matter whether I have a case, if I have any grievances, I should go to the county government." After that, I was about to leave again.

"Sir Fan, wait," said a person behind him. "When he just hit someone, he clearly said that the sea and land were jointly managed. Why did the appeal of grievances become just a maritime business? Could it be that the adults only hit someone?"

The people around him began to whisper after hearing this, and the discussion came into Fan Ju's ears, making him feel annoyed. It turned out that the man had the idea!

If he said he wanted to complain at the beginning, he would definitely let him leave and not rush to this muddy water. Now, the people in public will be beaten, and it will be difficult to get on the verge of death.

He looked at the yellow peddler kneeling on the ground, then looked at the scholar Jun beside him, and finally took the letter unwillingly.

After seeing this, he felt energetic. The complaint was well written, and it was well organized, and the words were gorgeous and beautiful, which made people applaud after reading this complaint. After reading this complaint, he also said that

It's changed.

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary citizen, but the person behind him should not be underestimated. Those who can write such an article will definitely shine even if they are still nameless now. He looked at the one who just spoke.

Scholar, I think this person is the one behind him.

"Since this matter is also involved in maritime affairs, please go back to the yamen to explain the matter clearly. Go back to your house!"
