Chapter 169: The Official Messenger Comes to Fetch People (2)
Set off in the middle of the night, take the waterway to rush to Siliu Village early in the morning, two Donglin County catchers, as soon as they went ashore, they found that the village was not popular at all, and it was as quiet as a dead village.
There was also a Shen family member who came with the catch, it was the second steward who was cut on the thigh by Qi Ke's flying knife, he dragged the injured leg on crutches, and walked down from the gangplank with difficulty.
"Is this really Siliu Village? Didn't you say that there were people? Why is there no sound at all? A quick catcher looked at the limping Shen family steward with disgust.
"At this time, the villagers all went up the mountain to chop firewood and dig wild vegetables, and they didn't come down until noon."
"What about the woman surnamed Qi who came to rob Zhuangzi?"
"She should be in Zhuangzi, if not, then she can only inquire when the villagers come back."
"It's a nuisance." Another catcher quickly pushed the steward, "Lead the way ahead and go to Zhuangzi to have a look." ”
The steward was pushed aside, and he didn't dare to reply when he was angry, so he lowered his head and led the way in front.
I wanted to enter from the gate, but the two catchers were reluctant to go far away, saw a broken wall, jumped directly into the wall, the second steward dragged a wounded leg and took a lot of effort to turn in, and felt a pain in the wound while landing, and felt that the wound was not very good, and then walked up, the injured leg was even more lame.
"Why are you moving so slowly? Where to go? ”
"I can only find one room, and if she does live here, she must have chosen one of the houses we lived in at the time."
"Lead the way."
The second steward took the two catchers to search room by room very fiercely, and when they came to the door of the house, they didn't need to push it by hand, and they kicked it directly, and the kicking was so loud that it sounded.
Qi Ke, who was concentrating on writing, had been monitoring the whereabouts of the officials with the space cover of the spiritual realm, and knowing that they were searching the house, she calmly pretended to be deaf and waited for them to search her house.
With a bang, Qi Ke's door was kicked open vigorously.
"That's her!" The second steward standing behind the official screamed, so excited that the green tendons on his neck bulged out
Qi Ke seemed to be frightened by the movement of kicking the door, his shoulder shook and stopped writing, raised his face to look at the door, and then put down his pen and stood up.
"Who are you?"
"Donglin County Ya Catch, are you surnamed Qi? Say it's the owner of this Zhuangzi? The two officials have fierce faces, and usually this face is specially designed to scare the powerless and powerless ordinary people, and anyone who sees it is afraid.
"It's me, the two poor masters, I've worked hard all the way here, I have something to say, don't kick the door and scare the little woman." Qi Ke didn't pay attention to their faces at all, she opened the table drawer, took out a small purse in the style of Beijing and handed it over, "Look at the traces of the upper of the cha ye's shoes, it must be a waterway, the waterway is cold, please drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”
A catcher quickly took the purse, and the weight of the hand made his face a little more restrained, not to mention two or two, and his companion saw it in his eyes, and also eased his face and tone.
"You were sued by the Shen family, a big family in the county, saying that you murdered people's lives, pretended to be the owner and forged the title deed to rob the house, come with us to the county."
"Okay, who is the real owner of this house, I believe that the county lord will be able to distinguish between right and wrong."
Qi Ke is clearly implying that if he doesn't get a fair verdict, it will be unfair for the county magistrate to judge the case.
"The county lord must be fair and strict."
"Let's go, the boat is waiting on the river beach, hurry up, and we will be in the county in the afternoon."
"For the sake of being a woman, I won't give you that set of guys."
"Don't worry, I came from the capital, and when I got to the water, I was a landlubber, let me take a boat, I'm afraid of fainting."
"I'll let you sit in the stern of the boat for a while." The official received such a heavy purse, and he was very talkative.
"Thank you, do I want to bring anything to the county?"
"Change of clothes, household registration and title deeds."
"Okay, let me clean up, please wait."
