Volume 1 Crossing the Tang Dynasty Chapter 70 Exploiting Contradictions
After Wan Guojun and Li Qianli discussed, they asked Lu Xiaoxian to go to Nanba to find out the bottom first, and then make a decision.
Lu Xiaoxian agreed without hesitation.
Hurry up and come to Nanba, after dinner, Lu Xiaoxian was thinking about something alone in the inn, but saw Luo Lin come into the house.
"Childe, do you have something to do with me?"
"I'm asking you something!" Lu Xiaoxian went straight to the point.
"Childe, please speak!"
Lu Xiaoxian stared at Luo Lin and said, "You tell me about the shadowless thief?" ”
Luo Lin nodded and said: "This shadowless thief is a celebrity in Nanba County, and he is a 'high-headed' person." ”
"What is a 'head flip'?"
"'Turning heads' is a type of stealing, and they generally steal from homes." Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian listened very seriously, Luo Lin said like a few treasures, "With the help of bamboo poles, ropes, etc., the 'turning over the upper head' is called the 'lower handle', and the 'turning over the upper head' without the help of ropes, hooks, etc., is called the 'upper handle'." Childe, this shadowless thief you are talking about is undoubtedly a 'master'! ”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and asked: "The Shadowless Thief has been committing crimes in Nanba for so long, and he has not left any traces, in your opinion, what kind of person is he?" ”
"Look at this person's methods, it's exactly the same as a thief before!" Luo Lin was a little puzzled: "But this person has been imprisoned in the county jail a year ago, it can't be his case!" As for the other 'turning heads' in Nanba City, it is impossible to have such a level, and maybe it is an outsider. ”
Lu Xiaoxian was thoughtful.
"Tell me about this thief!"
"His name is Chen Zhengye, in order to catch him, several of our brothers went to squat, and the hard work paid off, and one night, we arrested Chen Zhengye who was stealing from the house!"
"And then?"
Chen Zhengye's case was personally tried by Zheng County, and Chen Zhengye was also very happy, and he would answer whatever the county magistrate asked, and he also told the process of each theft in great detail to show his skills, and told in detail what kind of jewelry he stole from that big family, and recorded it word for word in the court. Not only can we hear these things clearly, but even Zheng County's order can also be listened to. After the interrogation, Chen Zhengye was taken into prison and is still in prison! What does this do, you ask? ”
"Luo Zhu, I want to go to the county jail to see, do you have a way?" Lu Xiaoxian asked bluntly.
"The county jail? Right now? Luo Lin was taken aback: "Childe, what are you doing in the county jail?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian smiled: "I want to see this thief in the county government prison who can jump over the ridge and go high and high." ”
Luo Lin seemed to realize something, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Childe, do you suspect this Chen Zhengye? ”
"Exactly!"
"Childe, what are you going to do?" Luo Lin became serious: "I won't do anything that violates the law and discipline!" ”
"Who told you to do something unlawful?" Lu Xiaoxian cried and laughed: "I just want to see if Chen Zhengye is really in prison?" ”
"He must be in prison, how could he not be?" Rollin thought it was incredible.
"Even if he is locked up in prison, can't he be released to commit crimes again?" Lu Xiaoxian said word by word: "Don't you think that the methods of the shadowless thieves are very similar to Chen Zhengye's methods?" ”
"Childe, do you mean that the shadowless thief is Chen Zhengye?" Luo Lin finally understood Lu Xiaoxian's intentions.
"I don't dare to say that the shadowless thief must be Chen Zhengye, but Chen Zhengye is very suspicious, so I want to go to the prison to investigate!"
"Childe, it's not easy to enter the prison at night!" Rollin proposed: "If you really want to go, why don't you take you there tomorrow during the day!" ”
"No way!" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said: "It's too ostentatious to go during the day, it's not good for people to know, after all, I'm just suspicious, I don't have any evidence, I can only investigate secretly!" ”
After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Luo Lin thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Childe, I don't know if it's okay, let me try!" ”
……
The prison should be a closed and impermeable place, and the Nanba County Prison is built on the west side of the county yamen, and the prison gate is on the left as soon as you enter the gate. The prison is an independent courtyard, and the walls are the thickest of the yamen buildings, and the walls are full of thorns and thorns.
In front of the dark gate of the county jail, Luo Lin knocked lightly on the door a few times, and the jailer on duty opened a small square hole above the door.
"Who? Don't you know? Prison heavy, forbidden to enter at night? The jailer asked loudly.
"Brother Liu, are you in prison? I'm Rollin! Rollin hurriedly responded.
"Oh, it's Luo Zhukuai, it's so late, is there something wrong?" The jailer seemed to recognize Rollin, and spoke much more politely.
"Brother Liu, I want to ask, in the prison hall, who is on duty tonight?" Rollin asked.
"Oh, it's night tonight!"
"Zhao Tou?" Luo Lin showed a complicated look on his face, and he said after a long time: "Brother Liu, please go and report to Zhao Tou, just say that Luo has something important to visit!" ”
The jailer agreed, and closed Xiao Kong's door, presumably to report.
……
In the prison hall, Zhao Cellhead sat at a broken table, with a pot of soju in front of him and poured himself a drink.
Zhao was about forty years old, a pot of spirits, a plate of peanuts, lonely nights, and a cold cell.
That's all Zhao Cellhead is doing now.
This kind of work is not only boring, it can drive people crazy!
Because the job is so lonely.
……
"Zhao Tou!" Rollin shouted softly.
Lu Xiaoxian, who came with him, put the good wine and snacks he brought on the table, and stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Lu Xiaoxian understood this truth.
"Today, I'm looking for you to drink." Lu Xiaoxian had a smile on his face.
"Thank you." Zhao Jiaotou motioned for Luo Lin and Lu Xiaoxian to sit down.
"Why don't I know you?" Zhao asked with squinted eyes.
"My name is Lu Xiaoxian, and I only came to Nanba County a few days ago!" Lu Xiaoxian said frankly.
Zhao Jiaotou glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, retracted his gaze, and smiled at Luo Lin: "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”
Luo Lin looked at Lu Xiaoxian, and he didn't know how Lu Xiaoxian told Zhao Cell about Chen Zhengye. Who knew that Lu Xiaoxian didn't mention this matter at all, but said some gossip.
When he finally left, Lu Xiaoxian dropped a sentence: "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." I hope you don't become someone else's scapegoat! ”
After that, Lu Xiaoxian stood up, "My words are clear, you can weigh it yourself, you can come to me if you think about it!" ”
"Farewell!" Lu Xiaoxian bowed his hand to Zhao Cell, then turned around and walked out of the prison hall.
"I'm gone, too! Zhao Tou! Rollin said hello and hurried away.
The prison hall suddenly became quiet, only the lights on the table flickered back and forth, and Zhao Cell's face was uncertain, like a sculpture sitting there motionless.
After a long time, Zhao Prison sighed, picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into his stomach.
On the way back, Rollin was still in a dream.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at Lu Xiaoxian's residence, Luo Lin couldn't help but ask: "Childe, didn't you go to the prison to confirm whether Chen Zhengye is a shadowless thief?" Why don't you say a word? ”
Lu Xiaoxian stopped, looked at Luo Lin and said, "Everything is obvious, do you still need me to verify?" ”
"But ......"
Lu Xiaoxian then walked forward again, and threw a confident sentence to Luo Lin behind him: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart!" ”
……
In the small courtyard of Nanguan, Nanba County, an old lady of sixty or seventy years old was sitting on a small horse and basking in the sun.
The courtyard gate opened, and several people entered the courtyard.
When the old lady heard someone coming in, she asked, "Who is it?" ”
When the old lady asked, she did not turn her head, as if she was blind.
The leader said: "Grandma, my name is Lu Xiaoxian, I am the catcher of the county government, and I am also a friend of Zhao Tou!" ”
"Oh, it's Zhen'er's colleague, please sit in the room!" The old lady stood up and said.
"No need!" Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly said: "Grandma, Zhao Tou asked me to find you a good Langzhong, and I also brought the person, let Langzhong show you the eye disease!" ”
After that, Lu Xiaoxian said to a person beside him: "Song Langzhong, it's up to you!" ”
Song Langzhong nodded and walked towards the old lady.
The old lady listened to Lu Xiaoxian's words, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "I have been suffering from this eye disease for many years, and I really spent a lot of money and didn't look good, don't bother, otherwise I will have to spend money in vain!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian said: "It doesn't cost much, grandma, you see that everyone has brought, let Lang Zhong take a look!" ”
"Thank you then!" The old lady sighed.
