In an inconspicuous corner of the capital, three birds flew into the air and headed in three different directions, making it impossible to tell which one was the main one.
Zhuang Rou of Hongzhou had already washed off the blood stains on his body, put on his official uniform neatly, tied up his half-wet hair, had an iron rod and Jiuxinghong stuck in his waist, and went out with gloves on his left hand and went directly to the party office.
Ma Dezheng and another catcher had already taken people to the north of the city, Zhuang Rou looked at Wu Heshan, "Wu catcher, come with me to arrest someone." I have already solved the case that Chen Mufeng bet with you, and it is just a few days away from a month. โ
"That incident was just a joke with Chen Gongzi, why should Zhuang Dianshi take it seriously." Wu Heshan didn't know if it was because Mrs. Shangshu lived here, so he didn't dare to admit the gamble.
Zhuang Rou glanced at him, even if he said that it was not a gambling game, she would finish the case. He didn't want to answer his story about it, so he asked him to bring someone with him to arrest him.
Wu Heshan, who has always been at odds with Zhuang Rou, is much more honest today, and his gamble with Chen Mufeng was told to Mrs. Shangshu by a good deed, which made her angry, and someone dared to bully her baby son like this.
Wu Heshan was called over and scolded fiercely, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Shangshu didn't dare and didn't want to see Chu Xia, she should have scolded Zhizhou first, and then let Zhizhou scold these little catchers again. Wu Heshan's status is too low, and it is too embarrassing for her to punish her personally, and it will be very ugly to hear in the capital.
could only scold him fiercely, looking at the other party's humble appearance kneeling, Mrs. Shangshu couldn't even get angry, and let him get out.
Now that Zhuang Rou has brought up this case again, Wu Heshan naturally doesn't dare to take it randomly, and he usually shows off his might, and he doesn't want to destroy his future at this time.
No one knew that she was going to arrest someone, and when she arrived, she found out that it was the Zhang family. Zhuang Rou asked people to knock on the door, and said to Wu Heshan: "Wu Zhutou, when we go in, we will only arrest Zhang Yaozu's concubine Jiang Yiyun and the people in her courtyard, and the others don't need to be arrested." โ
Everyone said that they understood, and the Zhang family also opened the door, and before anyone could speak, the person was forcibly pushed open by the officials, and a group of people broke in directly.
Zhuang Rou also walked in, and when the person who was pushed down saw her, he immediately trembled, and he was very scared with his hands in front of him, and he was afraid that he would be eaten.
Stupid people just like to listen to this kind of thing, Zhuang Rou glanced at him, did not stop and continued to walk inside.
The Zhang family also got a report from their subordinates, and some officials smashed the door and broke in, which is amazing. Several brothers of the Zhang family rushed over, and when they saw that it was Wu Heshan who was also an acquaintance, they just said hello and wanted to ask what was going on, when they saw Zhuang Rou standing in the middle of them, and couldn't help but take a breath.
Zhang Yaozu is the most familiar with her, and he only said in the morning that he was going to deliver the silver, why did he come in only a few hours now, is this what happened?
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lord Zhuang, what's wrong?" โ
Zhuang Rou arched his hand at him and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry. Someone committed a murder, and we came here to arrest them, and when we caught them, we left. โ
"Homicide?" Zhang Yaozu has already affirmed that she wants to attack the Zhang family, and they will be charged with unnecessary crimes!
He hurriedly said, "My lord, this must be a misunderstanding, we have something to discuss." We are very supportive of the Disaster Relief Department, whether it is donating money or materials, we will not hesitate to do so! โ
Zhuang Rou looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang is really a good person who cares about the people, don't worry, when the time comes, it will be indispensable to trouble you, there are people who are willing to do good deeds, we can't ask for it." It's just that this person still has to be arrested, but you can rest assured, it is indeed a homicide, and it has nothing to do with the Zhang family. โ
After saying that, she waved her hand and shouted to Wu Heshan: "Go to the back house, the people are there." โ
"Yes!" Wu Heshan and their fierce responses went to the back house.
The old lady of the Zhang family was also helped out, and when she heard that she was going to take someone from the Zhang family, she looked at Zhuang Rou's smiling face again, and slammed her crutches and said, "My lord, what crime has my Zhang family committed, what crime do you want to take people here!" Even if it is death, we have to let our Zhang family die clearly! โ
Zhuang Rou wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her left hand, the cold light in her palm flashed in everyone's eyes, and she said politely: "I repeat, this matter has nothing to do with the Zhang family, I just went to the back house to arrest a few people." If you insist on standing up for the criminals and taking the entire Zhang family, don't blame me for not giving face, your Zhang family is a lot of fat, don't give yourself a chance to cut meat, okay? โ
The words were too white, the Zhang family looked at her dumbfounded, and Zhang Yaozu hurriedly asked, "Lord Zhuang, does it really have nothing to do with the Zhang family?" โ
"Nonsense, if it had something to do with the Zhang family, which of you would be able to stand here and talk to me now." Zhuang Rou said disdainfully, it was not her arrogance, according to the usual means, this house had already been demolished by her.
Old lady Zhang frowned and said, "My lord, who are you going to arrest?" โ
Zhuang Rou glanced at him, thinking that this guy's son had just taken the initiative to donate money and materials, so he had to give face, so he said: "Your third grandson's concubine Jiang Yiyun, how is it, don't worry." โ
As soon as these words came out, the Zhang family all exclaimed, "Bao'er! โ
I really couldn't stand this family, Zhuang Rou flattened her mouth and said, "It has nothing to do with your great-grandson." โ
After speaking, she took someone to walk past the Zhang family and went directly to the back house.
The Zhang family all looked at Zhang Yaozu, and everyone's expressions were different, but many people's eyes were full of surprise. Zhang Yaozu couldn't stand still, and quickly said, "Grandfather, I'll go see what the hell is going on." So he hurried to the back house.
Zhuang Rou led everyone to the back house, walked through the garden and came directly to Jiang Yiyun's residence, and asked someone to directly knock the door open, and all the officials rushed up, and there was a sudden scream from inside.
Jiang Yijiang and Mrs. Xu were both waiting for the good news, and suddenly the courtyard door was slammed open, and a group of officials rushed in and caught them.
When Zhuang Rou walked into the courtyard, all the maids and daughters in the courtyard had been arrested, and Jiang Yiyun and Xu Pozi were also taken to the courtyard and looked at her in shock.
"Say, you mother-in-law! Who are you looking for to assassinate me? Zhuang Rou walked up to Mrs. Xu, looked at her and asked, glanced at Jiang Yiyun by the way, and immediately shook her head in fright.
Xu Pozi glared at Zhuang Rou gloomily, and retorted through gritted teeth: "The old slave doesn't know what the adults are talking about!" โ
Zhuang Rou just smiled at her, raised her foot and kicked her knee, with a click, Xu Pozi screamed, and her leg was broken.
"Do you know what I'm talking about now?" Zhuang Rou put her hands behind her back, tilted her head and said.
"I don't know anything! If you dare to arrest me, you will be punished by the river god if you have wronged the innocent people! Xu Pozi roared in pain, struggling to bite Zhuang Rou, she believed that the hall master's would definitely come to save her.
Zhuang Rou looked at her stubborn appearance and said with satisfaction: "Very good, I like disobedient people like you, and this official will come to see how long you can withstand it." โ
She knew that she had taken a shower, and if the person who sent the killer had a heart and was smart, he would have run away a long time ago. But she didn't care, if she could run, the monk couldn't run away from the temple, all she wanted was a confession, and nothing else mattered.
Seeing that Mrs. Xu had a broken leg and didn't say anything, Zhuang Rou took one of Mrs. Xu's hands, stretched out a left finger, and pressed the upper hook on the upper end of her arm, and then the fingers slowly moved down the arm.
The fingers pressed down slowly, although the clothes could only be seen torn apart, and the flesh inside could not be seen, but Xu Pozi's whole face was distorted. She wanted to shake off her hand, but Zhuang Rou held it down, and her fingers continued to slide down her arm, and blood came out and stained her clothes red.
"Ahh Yes! Xu Pozi struggled, her hand did not shake off the broken leg but was torn to death, she screamed, and the whole hospital was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head, and her whole body trembled.
Finally, Zhuang Rou's fingers were removed from the back of Xu Pozi's hand, and a fleshy wound appeared on Xu Pozi's arm, which was so bloody that people couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"Who did you call to kill me?" Zhuang Rou put her left hand on Xu Pozi's face, looked at her and asked again.
Xu Pozi looked at her cold eyes, and finally shouted: "It's the shopkeeper of Li Ji's blacksmith shop in the west of the city, Li Pingwei!" โ
Zhuang Rou pressed his hand down, and the cold barb was attached to Xu Pozi's face, "A blacksmith shopkeeper dares to find a killer to kill an official, do you think I will believe it?" Go on, until I believe it, if the flesh of your whole body has not turned into shredded meat by then, and you are still angry, I will stop. โ
"I'm telling the truth! It's really the truth! He's my envoy, in charge of dozens of people, not an ordinary blacksmith! Xu Pozi was frightened, and screamed at the top of her throat, she had a hard mouth at first, but she was just an ordinary cunning and vicious old lady, and she festered when she really encountered a ruthless character.
Letting go of her hand, Zhuang Rou glanced at Jiang Yiyun, her whole body was already paralyzed with fright, and she had to be pulled by the official to barely stand firm.
Dare to kill people like this, it's really inexplicable, Zhuang Rou waved his hand, "Take all the people in the courtyard away, and you will naturally let them go if it's okay." โ
"Yiyun, what exactly did you do?" Zhang Yaozu looked at her with some sadness at this time, although she was just a concubine, she was also a gentle and decent woman who gave birth to a son for him. Now that he was taken away like this, he really couldn't bear it.
Jiang Yiyun suddenly came back to her senses, struggling desperately and shouting, "Third Master! Third Master! I was wronged, help! Bao'er, my Bao'er! โ
Zhuang Rou stepped forward, grabbed her, stared at her eyes and said fiercely: "It's not your Bao'er, he is the eldest grandson of the Zhang family." โ
"No...... He! Jiang Yiyun wanted to say that this was not the case, but he shut up again, what does this official mean!
"Take it away."
The entire courtyard was taken out, and no one was beaten, only Xu Pozi was tortured alone, and was dragged out of Zhang's house while screaming miserably. The voice made the Zhang family shrink their heads one by one, not daring to come out and ask, the history of Zhuang Dian is really terrible.
It's best that this matter has nothing to do with the Zhang family, that evil ghost is simply cruel, and he is not a human at all!
Just as she was about to walk out of the back house, Zhuang Rou suddenly saw Zhang Lin standing on the side of the road, not at all like those women who were trembling with fright, still standing very solemnly at this time.
When passing by her side, Zhuang Rou stopped, waiting for the others to walk over, and then she said: "Mrs. Zhang, although Jiang Yiyun is guilty, the child is innocent, after all, it is also the blood of the Zhang family. โ
"The concubine understands that he was originally raised under my name, and I am his mother." Zhang Lin said with a debt.
Zhuang Rou nodded, "That's the best." He also walked out of the back house, leaving only Zhang Lin standing in place, watching everyone leave, before going to the front hall to see how the Zhang family would deal with this matter.
