Chapter 261: The Wu Family (3)
This is absolutely true, Hu Xiu, you know who Wu Bai is, the grandson of the head of the Wu family in front of him. However, he just dared to say this, as for the question of affection, he and the head of the Wu family have never met, where did the affection come from?
Besides, if you don't force him, how can you let him show his feet? If he really wanted to kill him......
Hu Xiu touched his waist, his outfit today was a little special, in addition to the Qingluan sword in the past, there was also an exceptional sword.
The black fur case, the hilt of the sword is black, the style is not novel, and it is even a little old-fashioned, and the cyan long sword next to it is not known how many times better than it.
But his hand touched the black sword, Hu Xiu knew it, and the old guy in front of him became furious.
With the Qingluan Sword, he can't stop his killing at all, and this black sword is not ordinary, Hu Xiu can release the yellow qi in his body, and he can release the flame that nothing is not burned.
As long as he despises Hu Xiu a little bit in his heart, Hu Xiu has a chance. Even if Hu Xiu failed to hit him, there was still the old eunuch, as long as the old eunuch could hold out for half an hour, he could wait for his grandmother to come.
As for what danger they will encounter, this is unlikely, and now their yellow qi is enough to let that special flame surround their bodies, and they dare to come over and burn them all.
Hu Xiu couldn't wait for this old guy to do it, he had a way to do it, although he killed this old guy's grandson, but it was killed by his men, and this person would probably blame him for this kind of thing.
If he could, he didn't want to make a big fuss, but Liang Zi had already settled down, so it was better to say it clearly, except to ask about Li Taishou's disappearance, where was that pill, and how did they come here.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The scene was quite incompatible, and there was a stalemate, and the maid on the side was hiding there in fright, trembling.
But this scene didn't last long, and the head of the Wu family, that is, the old man, originally worked like firewood, and he was better than the old eunuch, and there was a hint of a smile on his face.
"Lord Inspector, the person you are talking about, can you talk about Wu Bai, and Wu Ping?"
"Yes~" Hu Xiu replied, the Wu Ping that the head of the Wu family said should be the name of the Wu master Bo.
"Hehe~ The inspection made the adults worry a lot, since it was the inspection that made the adults kill, then they deserved it, I am just the patriarch of a small family, how can there be objections."
As the Wu patriarch said, there are more than a dozen eighth-order masters in their family, and they are still small families. Listening to the tone of this Wu patriarch, it was quite a bit of a mocking tone, self-deprecation, or he couldn't hear it.
And it seems that he is bullying their Wu family, hehe~ This scene seems to be really a bit of a bully.
"Naturally, you deserve it~" Hu Xiu took his hand, walked out of his seat, and turned to look at the head of the Wu family, "By the way, do you know that your grandson Wu Bai, his colleagues all disappeared a month ago." ”
"I don't know, I'm also deeply helpless about this, those guards may have something to do and aren't there for the time being." The head of the Wu family said an ambiguous answer, and nothing came out.
Hu Xiu subconsciously narrowed his eyes, knowing that this old man was not so easy to deal with, but he really couldn't find anything to do, so he had to give up.
"The yamen's catches are all gone, what do you think about this?" Hu Xiu also replied with a smile.
"Ah~ Inspector Envoy, when did the arrest of this yamen disappear?" The head of the Wu family was shocked, his face was full of disbelief, and Hu Xiu was a little suspicious, did he really not know that the yamen's arrest was almost gone.
But how could he not know that this yamen was almost gone, Li Taishou disappeared, and the inspection made the lord send an army to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the whole county, although this matter cannot be regarded as known to the whole city, but as long as the news circulates a little, everyone knows it.
He didn't believe it, the head of the Wu family, his ears and eyes were as deaf as he was, he didn't know about this kind of thing, he was afraid that such a statement was all for himself not to be blamed by Hu Xiu, but to be honest, Hu Xiu really thought about blame.
"Just a few days ago, I didn't say much about the affairs of this yamen, but I heard that your Wu family seems to have a very good relationship with the former Taishou Li Zhiguan."
Hu Xiu's words are sinister, and he wants to define the Wu family as a collusion with non-official government, and he has a big plan, although it is not of much use, but it can also touch the Wu family.
"The inspection has wronged the adult~" The old man suddenly cried and mourned, he has lived for hundreds of years, and he has already become an old man, and the crying scene will come.
"This Wu Ping is just a side branch of the Wu family, I saw that he went to the government office to be the master of the house when he was old, and he gave advice to Li Zhiguan on weekdays, but I didn't think he had such a mind.
He actually wanted to rely on the identity brought to him by the Wu family to get close to Li Taishou, he was really a wolf-hearted person. It seems that there is no need for that side branch to exist, and these individuals will be driven out of the Wu family tomorrow! ”
The righteousness that the head of the Wu family said was awe-inspiring, and he was jealous and hateful, as if there was such a person in his family, and he was very angry. Hu Xiu looked at it and believed it a little, but it was only some.
"That's not necessary, there's no need for this, since Wu Ping himself made a mistake, why bother others?" Hu Xiu was a little helpless, if he really "went with the flow" like this, it would not be good to spread it.
"Since the Inspector said so, I can't refute your intentions." This guy really doesn't want to lose face, and when he says that he has changed his face, he has changed his face, I'm afraid that what I said before is to provoke Hu Xiu.
"Hehe~" Hu Xiu sneered, he could also see the old man's thoughts, he was not so ruthless, "That's the best, the head of the Wu family is really generous!" ”
Hu Xiu bit the words, especially the word generosity, especially in the middle.
"The patrol made my lord Miao." This was originally a mockery, but the head of the Wu family, as if he didn't understand, smiled and talked to Hu Xiu.
Hu Xiu just didn't talk anymore, this old thief was really a chicken thief, and he couldn't get anything out of his mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before that, outside the Wu family's mansion, Hu Xiu and the old eunuch walked one after another, Hu Xiu didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The old eunuch followed behind, but he didn't know how far he had gone, and the old eunuch suddenly made a sound, "Your Royal Highness, we still have a lot of things to ask the head of the Wu family, why did we come out?" ”
"What else can you ask if you ask again, the master of the Wu family is slippery like a loach, and he is extremely sophisticated, and it is even more difficult to find some handles from him than to ascend to the sky."
Hu Xiu is also a little helpless, this is what the old man said, talking and doing things, Hu Xiu can't find his loopholes from the inside to make things difficult for him.
Even in what Hu Xiu said at the beginning, he didn't show a trace of discomfort on the surface. Even greeted him with a smile at the back, if not the real murderer of his grandson, he was also an accomplice.
But he can greet the enemy with a smiling face, this kind of heart is indeed terrifying, and Hu Xiu has a little chill. Such people either do not take revenge, or they will kill with one blow.
I'm afraid that the old man really likes his grandson, but this should be really liked, after all, he sent his waste grandson to the guard.
If it is said that relying on Wu Bai's own strength, Hu Xiu doesn't believe it, then there is only one possibility, the strength of the Wu family, and the Wu family holds this position on him.
And to invoke the power of the Wu family, how can it be without the consent of the patriarch, such an important position can be regarded as the leader of the yamen, and this patriarch is spoiled by his grandson, I am afraid that he will not point out a little.
I knew in my heart that the precaution against the Wu patriarch was much greater, and if he had a little problem, he would definitely be the first to fall into the well.
……
ps: (beeping quietly) I don't know if there are any brothers who are watching pirated copies, to speak a conscience, I'm not writing without taste, I've seen it here.
On the mobile phone up and down [vertical, horizontal], support a genuine version, no money brothers, you can also go to the genuine version of this bookcase, so that the author has more confidence to write ah!
The "Laws of the Qing Dynasty" stipulates that the house arrest test is once every three years, and the local yamen can fill the vacancies of the fast catch as appropriate, and if they want to be admitted to the house filler, they must go through a strict test.
And the three generations are innocent, with a monthly income of three taels and eight dollars (one tael is equivalent to a thousand dollars). Although the total income of six taels is not high, according to various bad customs, the monthly income can be as high as tens to hundreds of taels.
Although the Qing Dynasty governed the law according to a Qing Dynasty law, the actual law enforcers were local officials. However, the real law enforcer of the yamen is the chief catcher of the local government.
Catch fast is dressed in casual clothes on weekdays, with a waist tag to show his identity, and an iron ruler and rope in his arms. The foreman is called "head catcher" and "team leader". The common people call the catcher "catcher", "brand head", "head man", "brand man" and so on.
In the legal provisions of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is called "should be arrested" or "should be arrested", that is, "a person who has the responsibility to arrest the criminal".
In some large states and counties, horses are often equipped to perform official duties, so they are also called "horse fast". Hikers, on the other hand, call them "fast steps", "healthy walking" or "chuzu".
The number of people in charge of the "regular service" in each prefecture and county is determined by the size of the prefecture or county.
The investigation tasks undertaken by the arrest are all time-limited, called "ratio", generally 5 days for a "ratio", and 3 days for major homicides. If the case cannot be solved after a "comparison limit", they will be punished if they are caught quickly.
In ancient times, it was a "cheap business", and it was strictly stipulated that their descendants could not participate in the imperial examination, so as not to insult Sven. Even if they leave the industry, their children and grandchildren must be three generations later to be eligible to take the imperial examinations.
It is difficult to support the family by arresting more than three taels of silver every month, so extortion has become a kind of atmosphere, and they often set up various names to collect benefits and fees, and even collude with state and county officials, or create unjust, false and wrongful cases, or extort and arbitrarily arrest the common people.
In the poetry of the past dynasties, the eagle dog of the ruling class has often become the object of whipping. Guo Tingxi, a Qing scholar, wrote in "The Abuse of Police Arrests": "Displaced people become thieves and are forced to do so; Arresting people is also a thief, how can you say this? There are still a few displaced people in the world, and the arrests are all over the government, and the arrests are happy and the displaced people are miserable. ”
The homeless people are forced to become thieves in their lives, but the real thieves are caught all over the government. Jiang Tan, another Qing man, also described the miserable survival of poor peasants: "The front is sent away, the back is sent back, the old grain is paid, and the new grain is urged."
The uncooked cloth shirt of the country silk was broken, and the quality library threw out a cry of mourning. But the yamen's rent urging was in a hurry to spark and couldn't hand it over, so he had to arrest people quickly, "the Ming Dynasty didn't have any money to charge, and the old man was caught after that." It can be seen from this that at the behest of the official, the Arrest Standing Committee participates in activities such as rent collection, arrest, and arrest.
