Chapter 34: Solving the Case (Asking for Recommendations and Collections)
"Master Jun, spare your life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
This Hu Qiong's body had just squeezed out of the crowd, and his posture of scattering seedlings and escaping had just been set up, and the operation to hunt down the shopkeeper over there had ended.
Just now, as soon as Hu Qiong's arrest order was issued, the pro-soldiers pulled out the long knife they were wearing at their waists, held it in their hands and rushed over.
Seeing these fierce and vicious uncles, without saying a word, they pulled out their knives and rushed towards themselves, and the ordinary people who were watching hurriedly made way for them, and all the people rushed to disperse, for fear that these few people who killed a thousand knives would come to their bodies, so the originally somewhat crowded crowd could be said to have failed to have the slightest impact on the actions of these four pro-soldiers.
Of course, even in the most dangerous situation, as long as it does not hurt themselves, the Heath Empire's love of joining in the fun is still amazing, and after the four pro-soldiers waved their knives and walked by, those people quickly gathered together to watch the excitement. Only this time their eyes were no longer staring at the gate of the Wang family, but applauding the arrest process of Hu Qiong's personal soldiers.
When Hu Qiong squeezed out of the human pair with great effort, he happened to see that the four personal soldiers had formed a situation of encirclement of the shopkeeper.
"Holding his head in his hands, he squatted on the ground. β
Seeing that the shopkeeper had been surrounded, the leading pro-soldiers shouted and demanded that the other party surrender immediately.
Maybe this pro-soldier's voice is not loud enough, and his voice is not loud enough. Or maybe it's because the ears of the shopkeeper are not very good and he doesn't hear clearly.
After being asked to squat down with his head in his hands, the shopkeeper did not do so, but dragged the pig ingots with his legs to pass through the gap between the four of them and break through the encirclement.
Seeing that the shopkeeper dared to resist arrest, standing behind the shopkeeper, the soldier who looked the most clever, that is, the soldier who went to move the chair for Hu Qiong very dogged, didn't say a word, bowed his body, rushed forward with a big stride, and slashed towards the shopkeeper with a big knife.
The knife fell, and when the knife went down, it split one of the thighs of the shopkeeper into two.
The leg was broken, and the shopkeeper who fell to the ground seemed to react at this time, lying on the ground and holding his thigh with both hands tightly, begging for mercy.
Seeing that lying on the ground, there was a pretty little shopkeeper's face that looked hideous at this time due to the pain, thinking that the few pro-soldiers who had been sneaking in front of him and slapping the horse were so ruthless, Hu Qiong secretly retracted the leg that had been stepping out.
"Young Master Cousin, what should I do with this kid?"
dragged the shopkeeper to Hu Qiong's side like a dead dog, and the leading soldier clasped his fists with both hands and asked Hu Qiong.
"Childe spares his life, all mistakes are small mistakes, and the small one who was in the restaurant yesterday should not offend Childe. Ask the son to be able to save the life of a small dog. β
After being dragged in front of Hu Qiong, the shopkeeper lay on the ground with his stump leg, and after glancing at Hu Qiong, he hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes looking a little dodgy and wandering.
Although he lowered his head, the shopkeeper still begged Hu Qiong for mercy, and the cry for mercy was really not ordinarily loud, so big that all the people around could hear it clearly.
"There is definitely a ghost in this kid's heart, what kind of begging for mercy is this, it is clearly to arouse the anger of the people. β
Looking at the evasive gaze of the shopkeeper, hearing the shopkeeper's loud begging for mercy, remembering his shirk when he asked the shopkeeper about things in the restaurant yesterday, Hu Qiong's intuition told him that there must be something wrong with the person in front of him.
Sure enough, after hearing the shopkeeper's plea for mercy, the onlookers looked at Hu Qiong and their eyes had changed, and the eyes that were originally simply watching the excitement had now become much more complicated, and when they looked at Hu Qiong, their eyes also became full of contempt and disdain, and they felt that Hu Qiong was completely retaliating.
"Folks, I would like to ask you, does anyone know this person, or do you know if he has any relatives in our Steep Water Village?"
Hu Qiong didn't seem to hear the shopkeeper's plea for mercy, only to see him turn around and ask the melon-eating crowd about the origin of the shopkeeper.
"I don't know. β
"I haven't seen it. β
"It's definitely not from our village. β
"I have never heard of anyone who has such a relative. β
Although they deeply sympathized with the shopkeeper lying on the ground, these melon-eating people could only truthfully say what they knew out loud when they saw that the steel knives of those pro-soldiers had been unsheathed and were staring at them fiercely. And this is saying that one is faster than the other, and one is more categorical than the other. I'm afraid that if I answer too slowly, it will cause the devil's dissatisfaction, and when the big hat is buttoned down, it will be contrary to the original intention of watching the excitement.
"Young Master Cousin, what do you command?"
Seeing Hu Qiong beckoning, the leader of the pro-soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to ask Hu Qiong.
"This eldest brother, who came out in a hurry just now, forgot to ask my uncle what to call you eldest brothers. β
Originally, Hu Qiong was always thinking about escaping, how could he care if the people around him were called A Cat or A Dog, but now it seems that he was accidentally involved in the tragedy of the Wang family's annihilation, and in order to nip the danger in the bud, Hu Qiong felt that he needed to do something, so he remembered to ask the names of these pro-soldiers.
"Young Master Cousin, you are going to kill the little one, how can a lowly person like me be your eldest brother. Lord Mengzhitai took me in and gave my four brothers names. The little one is called Huang Ren, this one is called Huang Yi, that is Huang Li, and that one is Huang Zhi. β
For Hu Qiong to call himself a big brother, Huang Ren was terrified, and hurriedly told Hu Qiong the names of himself and the other three.
"Oh, then you have a brother named Huang Xin?"
Hearing the names of these four people, the first thing that came to Hu Qiong's mind was the words benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith.
"That's not true, Lord Zhengtai took in the four of us, and only gave the four of us brothers surnames. β
Although it is not clear why Hu Qiong said that he still has a brother, Huang Ren still confessed very honestly.
"It seems that my cheap uncle is also a dishonest person, and he doesn't even have the basic words of inconsistency and honesty. β
After secretly slandering Huang Yijing in his heart, Hu Qiong put his head to Huang Ren's ear and whispered to Huang Ren in very serious words.
"I see that this kid on the ground has something to do with the Wang family's case, but I'm afraid that this kid is a hard bone, so I'll find a few masters who are good at torture to come and pry open his mouth. Also, you should send someone to inform my uncle and ask him to send some men over and put all the people at the scene under house arrest temporarily, so as to save the time when there are too many people and leak the news. β
"Young Master Cousin, the little one thinks that there is no need to go back to find the master of the Taiwan to transfer troops to take care of these ordinary people, just a few of our brothers plus those catches in the yard are enough, and when the time comes, find a house for these people and lock them up, and then we will guard them outside, they will definitely not be able to escape. β
I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of being shared by other people or for some other reason, this Huang Ren feels that the four brothers plus those officials can completely guard these dozens of ordinary people.
"Brother Huang Ren, this is honest. This will stand among all the people here, and I believe only the four of you, brothers. Even if it's a local catch, I don't believe it. If you think about it, this case has been happening for several days, and all these arrests are all dry food? I didn't even find a single clue. If there really is a traitor here, then won't we fall short?"
In fact, in Hu Qiong's heart, it's not that he doesn't believe in the local catch, it's just that he was sent to the cell by the head of the Zhong team yesterday, even if he paid for it later, he apologized, but Hu Qiong still felt so unhappy, and he just wanted to disgust them.
"Yes, yes. The lesson of the young master is that this is all small and ill-conceived. I'll arrange for someone to inform the master of the station. β
After listening to Hu Qiong's words, Huang Ren hurriedly nodded yes and made strict self-criticism of himself.
"Young Master Cousin, what should we do next?"
After Huang Zhi, who had applied all his intelligence to his beard, sent a message to Huang Yijing, Huang Ren walked up to Hu Qiong's side and asked in a low voice about his next plan.
"Do you have any broken silver on you?"
Facing Huang Ren's request, a completely confusing sentence suddenly came out of Hu Qiong's mouth.
"Yes, yes. I just don't have a lot of them, I don't know if it's enough, if not, I still have a few silver tickets here. β
Although he didn't know what Hu Qiong's intention was to suddenly ask himself if he had broken silver, Huang Ren still quickly took out all the broken silver from his arms, and of course there were a few silver tickets that were taken out at the same time.
"Why do I want your silver ticket, you hurry up and see if there is any broken silver on Huang Yi and the others. β
Seeing the silver ticket in Huang Ren's hand, which was crushed under the broken silver, although Hu Qiong wanted to laugh, he also knew that now was not the time, so after swallowing his saliva heavily, he only took the broken silver.
"Young Master Cousin, have you seen enough of this? Why don't I go find those catchers and get some more?"
After scavenging all the broken silver on Huang Yi and Huang Li, Huang Ren ran to Hu Qiong and handed over the broken silver and asked.
"That's barely enough, you go and call all the people here first. β
Seeing that Huang Ren had about a dozen taels of silver in his palm, Hu Qiong nodded reluctantly, and then ordered Huang Ren to call all the people over.
"By the way, let the brothers keep an eye on it for a while, and don't let anyone take advantage of the chaos. β
Just when Huang Ren heard Hu Qiong's instructions and was about to call these melon-eating people together, Hu Qiong whispered in his ear a little uneasy.
"Fellow villagers, surnamed Hu, is entrusted by Huang Dufu to be fully responsible for the tragedy of the Wang's foreign family. Here, I would like to ask you a few questions. Although it is the responsibility of each of us to cooperate with the government investigation, it also delays everyone's time, so as long as you can answer my questions truthfully, you will have a consultation fee of one tael. β
After Huang Ren gathered all the people together, Hu Qiong stood in front of everyone and suddenly said that he wanted to offer a reward for investigation.
Although this silver tael reward is a great stimulus for these ordinary people, but when he looks at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown boy in front of him, he can't help but be suspicious.
"What do you call such a little brother?"
Seeing that these ordinary people in front of him wanted to move after hearing their words, but none of them took the initiative to stand up, Hu Qiong pointed to a young man about twenty years old and asked.
"Adult, the little one is called Su Yao. β
Hearing Hu Qiong's question, the young man replied a little shyly.
"Su Yao, good name. Come on, hurry up and give this little brother Su a tael of silver. β
Although this Su Yao only told his name, Hu Qiong still asked someone to come forward to give a reward.
"There's really money to take of it. β
"Childe, ask me. I know everything about this steep water village. β
"Childe, ask me. I'll be sure to tell you everything I know. β
Seeing that Su Yao just told Hu Qiong his name and got a tael of silver, the others immediately became anxious, and eagerly asked Hu Qiong to ask them quickly, and they couldn't wait to cover all the questions.
"Everyone, don't worry. As long as you ask, if the answer satisfies the young master, there will definitely be a silver reward. Let's come one by one. β
Hu Qiong saw that this was about to become a mess, but his heart was not in a hurry, but he comforted these people with a smile, after all, his main purpose was just to delay time.
"Now what I want to ask is the situation in our steep water village, and whoever of you knows best will be the one who will answer. β
After waiting for a long time, Hu Qiong, who felt that the heat was almost over, finally raised today's second question.
"Childe, ask me. I grew up in this steep water village since I was a child, and I know the whole situation of the steep water village very clearly. β
"Childe, I know better about the situation in this steep water village, my ancestors have lived in this steep water village for three generations. β
"I know. β
"I know better. β
As soon as Hu Qiong's question was raised, the crowd, which had tended to be quiet, became noisy again, and they were eager to fight for the right to answer.
It's no wonder that there is no one who will be watching here who is not a villager of this steep water village, if you want to say that you know this steep water village, everyone thinks that they know best.
"Uncle, you come to answer this question. β
When everyone was almost finished, Hu Qiong pointed to an old man in his sixties and asked him to answer.
"Thank you, Childe, our ...... in this steep water village"
In order to delay time, Hu Qiong asked questions that needed a lot of words to describe. Before half of the silver in his hand was spent, he saw that Huang Zhi had brought dozens of people running over.
"Okay, that's all I need to ask today. β
After Hu Qiong saw that the people led by Huang Zhi surrounded these melon-eating people, he stopped today's prize quiz.
"Childe, you haven't asked me yet. β
"Childe, I know more about those questions just now. β
The temptation of money made everyone's eyes focus on Hu Qiong, and they didn't notice that there were more heavily armed soldiers around him.
"Lock them all up. β
Seeing that all the soldiers brought by Huang Zhi had already controlled the whole situation, where would Hu Qiong still grind with these ordinary people, and directly waved his hand and asked to arrest people.
In the face of this group of wolf-like soldiers, this group of melon-eating people can only be captured. As for the servants and the like, they did not dare to resist in the slightest in front of the heavily armed soldiers, and all of them were locked up in a large room and guarded. As for the shopkeeper, he arranged for several professionals to serve him.
After locking everyone up and guarding them, Hu Qiong sat on the chair under the shade of the tree with the pig ingots in her arms. Huang Ren, Huang Yi and Huang Li waited behind him, and Huang Zhi followed the interrogation experts to interrogate the shopkeeper.
"Young Master Cousin, that kid has recruited everything. This case of the king's foreign family, this kid really participated in the case of the Wang family, let's solve this case. β
After sitting on a bag of cigarettes, Hu Qiong saw that Huang Zhixing ran out of Wang's house in a hurry, shouting as he ran.
