Chapter 524: Arresting Criminals

Zhang Bao'er said meaningfully: "That's right! ”

Zhou Xian said thoughtfully: "Lord Zhang's meaning is understood, as long as you use both wisdom and courage and concentrate on attacking the enemy's vital points with powerful forces, you can achieve the effect of sweeping away the first evil and deterring the remaining evils."

"That's right, that's what I meant!" Zhang Bao'er smiled faintly.

"Lord Zhang, it seems that the adults have decided to take action first against these people who are victims of fraud and theft?" Zhou Xian said happily.

"No, I've decided to do both of them, doing the remaining two evils at the same time." Zhang Baoer cut the railway.

"But we don't know what to do with these giants!" Zhou Xian was worried.

"I don't believe it, these wealthy people have left no handle in Chang'an's lawlessness? There are no ordinary people who complain? There is no one who escapes justice? ”

Zhou Xian suddenly realized.

"Pick two cases that are well known to the people of Chang'an and have a great deterrent effect on other wealthy families, and we will close the case in these two days, what to do in the future, you don't need me to teach you, right?"

Zhou Xian nodded: "Xiaguan understands." ”

……

After listening to Zhou Xian's introduction to the case, Zhang Baoer frowned and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to commit murder so blatantly, this is worth it!" Lord Zhou, this case is so simple, why has it not been concluded for more than a month? ”

Zhang Baoer is right, the case is indeed very simple, the woman who sued is the wife of a jewelry merchant. That morning, a man named Zheng Pingfu came to their shop and wanted to buy a string of pearls for his wife, but he had to sell it to him at half the price, but the jewelry merchant naturally refused. Who knew that Zheng Pingfu was arrogant and domineering, and when he saw that the price could not be negotiated, he waved his hand and punched the jewelry merchant to the point of nosebleeds. The jewelry merchant did not show weakness and fought with Zheng Pingfu. Zheng Pingfu, who was extremely vicious, took out a dagger from his body, killed the jeweler with one sword, took the pearl necklace, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Xian smiled bitterly: "My lord, that Zheng Pingfu is the chauffeur in Princess Taiping's mansion, after he killed someone, he has already hid in the princess's mansion, and the lower officials have also sent a catcher to arrest him, but he can't get in at all." Besides, even if he goes in, what can he do? If the princess is powerful, I'm afraid that the lower officials will not be able to eat and leave! ”

Zhang Baoer shook her head and said: "Someone committed a crime in Chang'an City, if it is not investigated, how can the people live?" What prestige does our Jingzhao Mansion still have? ”

"Lord Zhang, the lower officials know that they are wrong!" Zhou Xian bowed his head and said.

"That's it, that's it! It's no wonder you! Zhang Bao'er sighed and said: "Lord Zhou, you wait here, I'll go to Princess Taiping's mansion, and when I come back, I'll go and arrest that Zheng Pingfu!" ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

……

"Your Royal Highness! The next official will leave! Zhang Baoer gave a salute to Princess Taiping.

"Isn't it just a groom, Zhang Fuyin sent someone to inform you, I will send it to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion directly, and I will make a special trip!" Princess Taiping was very polite to Zhang Baoer.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the reason why the lower officials have to go through this trouble is also a last resort, after all, the lower officials have made a military order in front of His Majesty, and they will complete the rectification of law and order in the capital within a month. There are so many wealthy families in this capital, if you really want to investigate and deal with those who committed crimes one by one, even if you are tired of the lower officials, you can't finish the investigation. In desperation, Xia Guan came up with this trick to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, please forgive Her Royal Highness the princess! ”

Princess Taiping sighed and said, "How can I not be considerate of you, if you are really calculated by that slut, I still feel distressed, aren't we in the same boat now?" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this bitter trick must be acted!"

"I know, don't worry!" Princess Taiping nodded.

……

"Ma Ming, you go to Princess Taiping's Mansion immediately, I don't care what method you use, you must arrest Zheng Pingfu!" Zhang Bao'er instructed Ma Ming.

"Yes! I'll go now! Ma Ming was just about to turn around, but he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, aren't you going with you?" ”

"What? If I don't go, you won't be able to arrest people? Zhang Baoer asked rhetorically.

"Not really!" Ma Ming was a little weak-hearted: "But the princess of Taiping ......"

"I still have something to do, you can go by yourself!" Zhang Bao'er stretched out and stood up straight.

"Something?" Zhou Xian really couldn't understand what was more important than what was in front of him.

"Of course, I'm going back to my house and sleep!"

After that, Zhang Baoer walked away, leaving only Zhou Xian and Ma Ming looking at each other.

……

When Ma Ming came to the Taiping Princess's Mansion with the catchers, the servants in the Princess's Mansion stood in front of the mansion with pride, sneering at Ma Ming, the chief catcher of Jingzhao Mansion, and didn't take him seriously at all.

Ma Ming wandered outside the princess's mansion for a long time, but still couldn't get in. The servants of the princess's mansion were waiting to see Ma Ming's jokes and see how he stepped down.

Ma Ming's heart was crossed, and he secretly said in his heart: "Since you don't let me in, then I'll wait for you to come out!" ”

Ma Ming and the others quickly stood in a row on the street in front of the princess's mansion, patiently waiting for the murderer to appear.

After guarding for more than two hours and finding nothing, Ma Ming was secretly anxious in his heart. Lord Fu Yin is still waiting for his news, how can he always spend it here.

Ma Ming's eyes rolled, and it seemed that he could only play a little scoundrel. He turned around and entered the teahouse opposite the princess's mansion, chose a seat by the window, and drank tea, but his eyes were fixed on the door of the princess's mansion. Then he called a catcher to him and whispered a few words. The little catcher was stunned for a moment, then laughed, turned around and left.

Not long after, on the street in front of the princess's mansion, an old man selling turtles suddenly appeared, he put the turtle on the street, tore his throat and shouted: "Selling shrinking turtles, pure shrinking turtles, if you don't believe it, you can make a bet with me, as long as anyone can make this turtle stick out its head, I will pay him ten copper plates!" ”

The street was paved with large bluestone slabs, and the turtle was cowering in its shell and did not move.

The old man's voice immediately aroused the interest of passers-by, no one had ever encountered such a new thing, and they all tried it, and the turtle really didn't move. The interest of everyone is higher, and the number of onlookers is increasing.

Someone shouted, "Big turtle, why haven't you come out yet?" Aren't you scared? ”

Some people also shouted: "Wang Ba is naturally timid, how can he dare to come out when he sees so many people?" ”

Princess Taiping stayed at home, and she could still hold her breath at first, but when she heard these words, her face turned green with anger.

Ma Ming guarded in front of her mansion, saying that she wanted to arrest the murderer, which had made her lose face, and now she couldn't bear it anymore, and took a large number of domestic slaves and asked Zheng Pingfu to drive a car for her, and came out of the mansion in a mighty way and went to the palace to complain to the emperor.
