Ming Dynasty: My Father Zhang Juzheng

Chapter 191 The Stubborn Old Man Hai Rui
Four or five days passed in a flash.

After a few days of rest, Zhao Wenshan's injuries improved a lot.

This was all because Han San was very measured in his attack, targeting the areas with more flesh, and the golden wound medicine was also very effective.

In just four or five days, the bloody wound formed a thick layer of blood scab.

These days he has been enjoying the peak of life.

Originally just a minor character, he was "tortured" by Han San. Not only did he enjoy a high reputation among the students, but even the magistrate of Qufu noticed this minor character.

Early that morning, a large sedan chair with an apricot-yellow brocade fence carried by eight people slowly stopped in front of the county prison.

As soon as the sedan chair was steady, the leader of the group turned sideways and carefully lifted the curtain. Then, a soft but very authoritative voice came from the sedan chair.

This immediately caused the guards to bow and salute.

Kong Lin bent his waist, wearing a green official uniform, and walked out.

He glanced at the Jinyiwei guarding the gate with contempt, and secretly spat at them as "hawks" before stepping forward.

Before he took a few steps forward, several Jinyiwei wearing swords at the door shouted, "Stop!"

Kong Lin was instantly frightened.

"Are you blind? Look carefully, this is the Lord of Qufu County, Master Kong!" Before Kong Lin could answer, the lackey-like master beside him stepped forward, poked the chest of the person in front with his folding fan, and cursed, "You are just a small flag, and you dare to offend our master. I want to know who gave you the courage? Ah!"

Xiaoqi was just a military officer of the seventh rank.

But as a member of the Imperial Guard, he did a lot of house searches.

Not to mention that he was the magistrate Kong Lin, he had even been to the home of a third-rank official, so how could he be intimidated by Kong Lin's lackeys?
He glared at the lackey fiercely, then rounded his hand and slapped him hard.

With a "pop" sound, the lackey turned around on the spot and then fell to the ground.

On the originally fair cheek, a deep blood-red fingerprint was clearly visible!

"You dare to hit me?" The lackey's face was full of disbelief.

As a lackey of the county magistrate, he had been a hawk chasing dogs in Qufu. How could he have suffered such injustice? As the saying goes, you have to consider the owner before beating a dog. How could he bear being beaten in front of his master?

He screamed "Ah", struggled to get up from the ground, and then put on an attitude of desperate struggle.

Xiao Qi smiled and kicked over. The lackey master was hit hard and fell on his back.

Xiao Qi's face suddenly turned cold, and he patted the long knife at his waist and shouted, "Without the order of our pacification, anyone who dares to enter this cell will be killed without mercy!"

Kong Lin in the distance was so angry that his facial features shifted.

This is Qufu.

His own cell, he wanted to go in and take a look, but now he had to look at the faces of these people? His face turned red, then blue, and then he flicked his sleeves and turned back to the sedan chair.

He snorted coldly: "Go back!"

On the other side, Han San, who was at home, knew that Kong Lin had met with a setback today. He sat on the bed and pondered for a moment, knowing that it was time to ask someone to "sue" him.

After figuring this out, he went to the prison again and beat Zhao Wenshan up.

This time, he did not continue to detain Zhao Wenshan, but instead sent him out of the cell, covered in blood.

Upon hearing the news, the students were excited.

Some cursed Han San openly, some cursed him secretly, and some wanted to report him. Han San was not afraid of debts or lice, and was not affected by the outside world. After giving his men a few simple instructions, Han San went straight to Hai Rui's residence with his hands behind his back.

The two met and sat down in the hall.

After the servant prepared the tea, he tactfully left. Hai Rui took a sip of the tea, then asked with a sullen face, "Han Zhenfu, why did you resort to lynching these students?"

Glancing at Hai Rui, whose forehead was still tied like a dumpling, Han San said with a bitter face, "Oh, my old Mr. Hai! These students are so bold that they dare to offend the imperial envoy."

"We just want to teach them a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Hai Rui frowned, clasped his fists in the direction of the Forbidden City, and shouted, "The imperial court has its own laws. What laws are you following when you set up your own court and abuse the students?!"

After being choked by this, Han San's face turned blue and red.

He already disliked this stubborn guy very much.

However, thinking that he still had to take the lead in this matter, he suppressed his temper and got back to the point: "Minister Hai, let's put aside my question for now. The most important thing right now is how to make the Kong family's affairs public."

Hai Rui's anger subsided and he replied, "I have sent people to secretly visit more than a hundred merchants whose land was forcibly occupied by the Kong family."

"What's the result?" Han San asked.

"When they heard that they had to take the Kong family to court in front of everyone, only a few people responded." Hai Rui sighed and shook his head as he answered.

Only now did he know what it felt like to be a lone commander.

Not only here, but also in various prefectures and counties in Shandong, students are pouring in. Overtly or covertly, the target is directly aimed at Hai Rui. If this continues, he will be as strong as an iron body.

There was inevitably fatigue on their faces.

Looking at Hai Rui's appearance, Han San's previous dissatisfaction disappeared.

He pondered for a moment, then told Zhao Wenshan about his and Zhao Wenshan's plan.

After hearing this, Hai Rui half believed and half doubted, "Will this work?"

"It will definitely work. Let's arouse the students' anger first, and then cut off the source of their trouble!" Han San said, clenching his fists suddenly, his sharp eyes full of pride.

Hai Rui thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll send someone to prepare right away, and at the same time, prepare enough and solid evidence of the Kong family's crimes!"

"Ah."

Han San stretched, then turned and walked out of the living room, disappearing into the endless night under the stars.

When he returned to his residence, it was already the end of the You hour.

After quickly washing up, Han San put on his clothes, lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

After experiencing this for a few days, I feel that the power of the Kong family is indeed far beyond my imagination.

Not only here, but even in the capital where Zhang Yunxiu was, there was a panic and impeachment was everywhere. Letters of impeachment from prefectures all over the country fell on the emperor's desk like snowflakes.

If it weren't for the Emperor's support behind him, he would have died here before even returning to the capital.

However, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Han Saner can only be where he is today because of the Prime Minister and the son's generosity. Even if there is a frying pan in front of him, he has to jump in and make a few waves in it before getting up again.

"Third Master, Song Ming wants to see you." Just as he was thinking about it, a shout suddenly woke him up.

What are you doing now?
After secretly complaining, Han San stood up, put on his clothes, and ordered, "Take him to the living room, I will be there soon."
