Qin Sihan, who clearly heard what Bai Xi said, glanced at him sideways, patted the hand that held his and said, "You have been with me for decades, and you know my temper. Let go."
What he said was almost heartless.
Bai Xi's hand immediately let go, hanging by the bed without taking it back. There was both despair and extravagant hope in his eyes.
Tan Sihan looked helpless and walked out.
There was no change in the people in the room, and they watched Tan Sihan go out without making any noise.
Qin Sihan closed the door. After walking a few steps, Mu Qing came over and cupped his hands at Tan Sihan and said, "Sir, this is Brother Bai's household registration. The Ministry of Punishment just sent it here, and Mr. Wang is here too."
"How many people are back?" Qin Sihan took over and asked.
When Mu Qing realized what was going on, Qin Sihan asked what was going on and said, "Seven, plus the original three, there are ten in total."
Qin Sihan ordered: "Well, find someone who is down-to-earth and powerful to look after your brother Bai. Don't let him go out and walk around recently, do you hear me?"
"Yes." Mu Qing responded and retreated.
Qin Sihan returned to his side, and Zhou She also came over. He didn't say anything and just followed behind him.
Next ring.
The two entered the lobby one after the other.
I saw a group of people sitting together, not knowing what they were saying.
He didn't speak and sat down silently.
"In that case, how about we divide into two groups, one group goes to block the officials, and the other group goes to the fields?" Ji Xuan looked around and asked.
Several people nodded.
Wang Qi and Zhang Xuan brought back some news about long-term workers and officials.
In the morning, someone also went to the place where Er Xu lived, but the door of the place was wide open and it was a mess inside. The government officials rushed to the place.
"Sir, I have something to trouble you." Seeing that no one had any objections, Ji Xuan turned to look at Tan Sihan.
The latter was going to take a nap on the stool. Hearing these words, he yawned, straightened up and looked at Ji Xuan.
"The matter of Xu Kun and Xu Wei." Ji Xuan said.
Qin Sihan turned around and looked at Zhou She who was following behind him.
Zhou She nodded and left, then came back after a while and said, "Sir, I've already sent someone to invite you. They'll be here in the evening."
Ji Xuan was stunned,
"I told you to go down and call for someone before. Didn't Master Ji see it? They have to eat and drink." Qin Sihan said.
Ji Xuan smiled and said, "With the young master here, I can really be a waste."
What he said was really modest.
"Lord Ji, Daman's court does not raise waste," Qin Sihan reminded.
Ji Xuan nodded and smiled awkwardly.
"I will lead one group, and Fang Wu will lead another group. I will block people. You guys, let's see who goes to the fields."
He turned around again and saw that Wang Qi didn't hear anything, so he had to say a few words to Fang Wu, and then looked at everyone again.
"Master Ji, I'll follow you." Wang Qi said.
"Me, junior sister and I." Bai An also said. "I'll go to the fields too." Zhang Xuan also said, there must be someone on both sides who can take charge, right? It's not Fang Wu who can't, but Fang Wu is a woman.
, it is always easy for people to see clearly.
"Where is Mr. Qin?"
Seeing that several people expressed their opinions one after another, but Qin Sihan remained silent, he turned around and asked.
"I will work with you. I will divide my people equally, and you two, master and disciple, will each take half."
Tan Sihan said.
"Let Mu Qing choose someone to follow Zhang Xuan, and you lead the rest to follow me. Be smart and keep in touch with both sides. Also, ask Eunuch Bai to follow me." With that, Qin Sihan turned back and ordered Zhou She.
Zhou She agreed and went out. Mu Qing, who was on the beam, also jumped down and followed Zhou She.
After that, several people discussed the details while waiting for the arrival of Xu Kun and Xu Wei.
The autumn wind rustles, and night always comes so quickly.
Everyone looked up when they heard the footsteps. They saw two people, one tall and one short, being brought in with everyone shouting.
Finally, he followed Zhou She and Mu Qing,
One tall and one short are naturally Xu Kun and Xu Wei, and the rest are all under Tan Sihan's command.
Except for the latter two, they were all hidden in corners. The room was quiet, but the atmosphere inside made people subconsciously nervous.
"Cough, cough, cough. Just ask whatever you want, big shot Ji." Qin Sihan coughed twice to break the heavy atmosphere.
"Are you Xu Kun?" Ji Xuan looked at the short man and opened his mouth.
Xu Kun nodded.
Ji Xuan asked Xu Kun first when he saw that he had no official status. After all, the foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry was also a third-rank official, so he really didn't dare to interrogate him rashly.
"I've seen a lot of land under your control. How much grain can it produce each year?" Ji Xuan asked.
He wanted to know how much profit Ren Ye made every year, and whether Ren Ye and Xu Kun had any friendship over the years.
"I don't know about previous years, but this year there are only four thousand stones." Xu Kun said.
Ji Xuan nodded, there was nothing wrong with his words.
The weather is bad this year, and the price of seeds has also increased, including the tax in Yancheng Town, which has always been high, so four thousand dan is not a lot, but it is still a lot.
You must know that this year Yancheng Town produced less than 8,000 shi of grain in total. After taxation, there was only 7,000 shi left.
It is definitely impossible to divide things as they were in previous years. So how can we avoid conflicts?
Ji Xuan asked: "With these lands under your control, how often do you need to check in on them?"
Xu Kun was stunned for a moment and said: "I basically don't care much. I don't understand this, I just look at the account books."
"Speak to me carefully and don't try to prevaricate." Tan Sisi slapped the table and said angrily.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with these words, it’s that there’s something wrong with this person.
No matter how you look at this person, he seems to be a shrewd person. He cannot be coaxed by others, and after Qin Sihan's investigation, this person has nothing useful.
That is to say, he is taking care of everything by himself, so how can he not know anything?
Xu Kun trembled and secretly glanced at Tan Sihan,
"I...I won't go to the fields." Xu Kun stammered again.
Tan Sihan didn't know whether this was true or not, and just looked at Ji Xuan.
For such a task as interrogation, he was naturally inferior to Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan didn't express anything.
Fang Wu smiled and said, "Does Mr. Xu know this Master Xu?"
"I don't know." Xu Kun looked back at Xu Weidao.
Bai An stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Xu, he is the person in charge of everything in Yancheng Town. You have been here for many years. Don't you know him?" He asked, walking up step by step.
He was not walking fast, the flesh on his face was trembling, and his eyes were full of suspicion.
Several people watching were in a daze.
They didn't expect that Bai An would pretend to be an uncle sometimes.
In fact, Bai An looks fierce enough, he doesn't need to pretend, just act casually.
"Master Xu, do you know him?" Bai An asked Xu Wei, regardless of Xu Kun's reaction.
He is a rough man who doesn't care about superiority and inferiority, and Bai An is the person in charge of this matter.
When asking questions, naturally there is no hierarchy.
