The advantage of being a county magistrate in Fu County is that you don't have to worry about getting started, and it is also easy to make friends with people and accumulate contacts. And the disadvantage is that everything is complicated, all the powerful people are arrogant and domineering, and it is not easy to do things.

After the incident occurred that day, the county magistrate, who had received the preliminary case report, realized that the case was not the case, so he personally came to the scene in a sedan chair.

After watching the scene from beginning to end, and listening to the report on the case of the head arrester and the man, he came to the county order to go home. He was the first county magistrate in Fuzhou City, and he knew very well that this matter was not over. There is no need for him to draw conclusions now, let's figure out the entanglements in this case.

Back at the county office, the county commander, accompanied by the criminal master, first summoned the well-informed Cao Zhutou alone. After a detailed discussion between the two sides, Master Lai finally figured out the cause and effect of Xie Yuanwai's killing.

After sending Cao Zhutou away, he often wanted to bnn robbery cases, and the county magistrate, who had long hated the fight, slapped the table fiercely: "It's these bastards again!" This time, Deng Hu must be dealt with strictly! ”

"Dong Weng." The criminal master on the side twisted his beard: "Then Deng Hu is a slippery one, whether it is strict or not, and wait for the news." If those bitter masters do not forgive, it is not too late for Dong Weng to take advantage of the situation to do it. ”

Master's meaning is very simple: don't act rashly.

Because Deng Hu is not so easy to do. This generation has been doing evil for many years, and in the words of later generations, it is very capable of evading the government's crackdown. Deng Hu not only colluded with various government officials, bandits, and inferior gentry and lawsuits, but also had more than n ruffians under him, so although the county government often arrested Deng Hu's younger brother, he never arrested Deng Hu himself.

A big thief at this level, not to mention that there is no death certificate in the county order, even if there is, it is necessary to consider whether it can be caught, whether it can be convicted, and whether it will cause trouble among the people after the conviction is completed, and it is obviously a case that needs to be supervised and handled by the provincial department, but under the weak control of feudal society, it can only be handled by the county bureau, which is very difficult.

"Alas, I can't do it." Coming to the county magistrate, he was deeply touched by this kind of social situation, so he also sighed. There are two lists of Jinshi, and there are seven main halls, and if you want to be a big thief, you have to consider so many heads and ends, which is really difficult in the world.

"According to the students, Deng Hu is in trouble this time." At this time, the criminal master was more confident than the owner.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"Dong Weng, don't forget the gang of thieves who did it a few days ago."

"Oh" Fang Wei was stunned for a moment before he reacted to what the master meant: "Unrighteous and helpless? Oh, let's see."

As a result, the county government entered the tepid normal case-handling procedure: go through the process.

Then the pressure from all sides quickly came in.

In the matter of Xie Yuanwai's killing, the other proprietors of the restaurant alliance were more excited than the family members.

What used to be an ordinary business competition was, to put it bluntly, a tacit game between the rich: splashing dirty water on each other, using some means, killing a few ants, and gaining bargaining chips for the final negotiation.

And when Xie Yuanwai died, the nature of this matter changed to bottomless competition? Labor negotiation Ewing pushed Stern downstairs? It's so mysterious!

But that's just the way it is.

This kind of bad behavior has touched the bottom line of the proprietors, and under the sadness of the dead rabbit and fox, these people also officially reported the matter to the official.

Reporting to the officials is a gesture, showing that the incident will be exposed and will not compromise on the attitude: the proprietors no longer plan to play any more tricks with Zhang Tuhu and Deng Hu, and this time they want to meet the officials, and they would rather spend a huge price than kill those who dare to threaten their lives.

So after the bitter master of the Xie family, he came to the county order and cordially met with the representatives of the restaurant alliance in the flower hall, and said that the murderers must be severely punished, and the proprietors must be repaid.

The next one that came to the door was interesting: Zhang Butcher.

If he had known that things would turn out like this, then Zhang Butcher would not have gone to Deng Hu to do something.

Although Zhang Butcher's gang is suspected of bullying and dominating the market, fundamentally speaking, their main business is to kill pigs and sell meat. The members of the slaughterhouse are all butcher shop owners, and they are good people who live a good life, and Deng Hu's s completely different concepts.

So when Zhang Butcher, who was tall and fat, and had a powerful image, learned that Xie Yuanwai was by Deng Hu, he was scared on the spot.

After that, he immediately realized the huge business crisis: the restaurant alliance would never buy his pigs again.

Zhang Mengzhu, who reacted, immediately began to jump to his feet and scold, while Deng Hu's wife in his mouth, he gathered people and drove all Deng Hu's subordinates out of hiding.

After making preparations for cutting, Zhang Butcher hurriedly prepared a generous gift and invited the biggest Chinese people in the city to go to the proprietors and the Xie family to explain one by one.

While stating that he was also a victim and was completely cheated by Deng Hu, Zhang Butcher also made a promise on behalf of the slaughterhouse: he recognized this shop, and the price of live pigs this time will go according to the meaning of the restaurant alliance, and he has nothing to say.

took all kinds of crisis public relations measures, although the Xie family still shouted at Zhang Butcher, but the other proprietors of the restaurant alliance were temporarily stabilized by Zhang Butcher in front of interests.

After this side was done, Zhang Butcher ran to the county office with the silver overnight, knelt in front of the county and shouted injustice, analyzed his mental journey in a hoarse voice, and pointed out hoarsely that Deng Hu was an obscene embryo, and he was different from this fang!

So far, the attitude of all the interested parties in this case has been clearly grasped by the county government. Seeing that public opinion began to be favorable, the county zun also officially released his words: the case of Xie Yuanwai's murder will be tried on the announcement day three days later.

At the same time as the county town was noisy, the initiator of the case, the murderer, Comrade Deng Hu, had already set up camp in a house outside the city.

Retreating to the outside of the city, Shopkeeper Deng hadn't done it for years. However, this time is different, and it can't be done without retreating.

After learning the news that Xie Yuanwai was killed, Deng Hu didn't care much at first: What happened to Guan Laozi? However, when the second wave of news came, Shopkeeper Deng was also dumbfounded on the spot: What, there are blood words on the ground?

Soon after, the details of the third wave came out, and then Deng Hu immediately figured out who was behind the ghost The few who died in the Xie family's mansion were the subordinates he sent to the Xiong Mansion a month ago to make trouble.

The first thing Deng Hu thought of in anger was to clarify, but when he calmed down, he found that what he had to do now was to retreat.

As for clarification, Deng Hu, who had taken over a lot of framing businesses and had rich experience in this area, quickly realized the cruelty of this poisonous plan: no one would believe his explanation, and the blood words and the corpses of his cronies had firmly nailed him.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Deng Hu, who had a fairly intuitive sense of danger, immediately led people out of the city and stationed in a relatively hidden courtyard, and then he began to frantically inquire for news.

Bad news came one after another: the Xie family was furious, the restaurant alliance was furious, and the Zhang butcher turned his face and drove out all the brothers sent to help

The biggest headache for Deng Hu was the county government. According to the informant, the county was also furious about this incident and was ready to deal with it strictly.

At this time, Deng Hu was not in a hurry.

Since there has been a ruckus in the city, and a large number of rich and powerful people and even the county lord have to deal with him, it means that it is useless to find a lawsuit, find a top tank, and find some inferior gentry to help say that these soft methods are useless.

Since the usual method of exonerating sin is not used, then there is only a hard way to carry it. The so-called hard carrying, to put it bluntly, is to delay time, first hibernate up, wait until the situation stabilizes, and then slowly save your reputation and settle the incident.

Deng Hu is very familiar with this set, when he was not big yet, he usually had to go out to hide after committing a crime. It's just that what he didn't expect was that many years later, he was actually framed and had to go out of the city again to avoid one or two, which made him hate Xiong Dao to the core.

Of course, when it comes to Deng Hu's coffee position, even if he hides in the secret mansion outside the city now, he will not be able to be as quiet as a thief in the future. He had to make a noise from time to time in order to tell his opponents and some of his peers that his old man was not in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes still had the legends of his old man.

This is a must: he still has a homestead, a family, an estate, and a younger brother in the city, and if he doesn't make some trouble, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and the family will be restless.

So in the past two days, while paying close attention to the case, Deng Hu also sent people to Taihu Lake. As the No. 1 gathering place for criminals in the Jiangnan region, there are too many bandits in Baili Taihu Lake.

And a black boss like Deng Hu is naturally inextricably linked with the people in Taihu Lake. So he plans to attract a group of people to come over this time, and see the right time to make a few big votes inside and outside the county, so that he can say hello to the county magistrate.

Three days later, the day of the county government's announcement. came to the county to respect a full set of official uniforms, sat down and ascended to the court, and began to deal with the backlog of cases one by one these days. And the first one to deal with is Xie Yuanwai's play.

The process of handling cases in the county is very standard. First, the arrester was summoned to the court, and after hearing the details of the case publicly, he was summoned to the court. After these processes are completed, the next person to go to court is the eldest son of the Xie family, the second son and the lawyer.

After listening to the Xie family's lawyer's complaint, the county respected the Xie family's complaint against Deng Hu. Next, the master called Lu Dongjia, the representative of the restaurant alliance, the lawyer, and the pig transporter who had his leg broken on the night of the crime to come to the court. After these people's process was completed, the county magistrate also received their complaint against Deng Hu.

At this point, the evidence collection work of the case is not yet complete. Next, the county magistrate will summon a tainted witness: Zhang Butcher.

Butcher Zhang was waiting at the bottom of the hall early today. After going to court, he naturally pushed the matter to a six, two, five. In fact, he doesn't need to exaggerate anything, anyway, Master Xie was killed by Deng Hu, and everyone knows this, so he only needs to testify that Deng Hu killed people.

When Zhang Butcher left the court, the evidence collection process on the county order side was completed. The next step was naturally to summon the party Deng Hu to the court to inquire about the case, so when he came to the county order, he issued a "tick ticket" to summon the grass farmer Deng Hu on the spot, and ordered Cao Zhutou to set off immediately to bring Deng Hu back to the county government for investigation. 11
