Guard Qian was bored catching lice and fleas, and he had only been here for a few days, and he was full of this damn thing, which made him miserable.
"The hard days are coming to an end, the daughter-in-law came to deliver food at noon, saying that she went to take care of relatives and borrowed some, it should be almost, these damn vampires, they asked for a hundred taels when they opened their mouths, and they asked someone to intercede before they reduced it to eighty taels, not to mention the dozens of taels of silver that Lao Tzu had worked so hard to save, not to mention, and owed a lot of debt.
"Lao Zhao and Lao Li went out yesterday, I don't know if they also borrowed money, these bastards, there is no good thing. ”
Old Qian strangled a lice that had just been caught, and thought indignantly.
"Bang ......"
Closed tightly, the dark and damp solitary cell was opened, and a group of people poured in, startling Old Qian, thinking,
"What is this for? Are you going to release people or are you going to be arraigned again? I didn't release people so quickly, I only got the money together at noon, and it was less than half an hour, and it was estimated that I was going to be arraigned. ”
Lao Qian's daughter-in-law also told him another news just now, saying that Fucheng attaches great importance to this case, and because it is a major homicide case, it has sent a senior official to retry it.
"Retrial, retrial, can you turn the sky upside down? Catch that damn murderer? Hey...... , I'm going to work my poor knee again, just kneel, just kneel, just don't hit the board. Old Qian thought nonchalantly.
The group of people who came in immediately filled the small single cell.
"When you go out, the official will interrogate you alone, go farther away, and don't let the official find out that you are eavesdropping. A low, somewhat muffled voice rang out.
"My lord, this is not appropriate, my subordinates are worried about your safety. ”
"Well, that makes sense, lock him up for me. ”
Now no one objected anymore, and a few people came in and locked the old money, and the old money was angry, thinking, "Lao Tzu didn't kill anyone, and he is not a felon, why lock Lao Tzu?"
Someone brought in a chair, and when they put it down, they all rolled away.
Only the man who gave the order was left, sitting in a chair, with his legs crossed, looking at him leisurely through the wooden railing.
Lao Qian was a little hairy by him, and he didn't dare to look up at him, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and suddenly heard a familiar voice,
"Old money, don't come to harm......"
Lao Qian raised his head in disbelief, his eyes widened to see if it was the person, but the damn guy stood up again, and the little light that was finally thrown in from the small window blocked him, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
The figure walked over slowly, squatted outside the railing, and whispered, "Old money, it's me, shhh...... Be quiet. ”
Although only half of his face was wrapped in white cloth, his figure was a little taller than before, and he was wearing a luxurious dress, but he was so close, coupled with that familiar voice, Qian Guard couldn't recognize it anymore, this was his good brother Wang Miao, and he didn't mix it up in the rivers and lakes.
"Brother Wang, is it you, why do you look like this?" asked Lao Qian in surprise and in disbelief.
"It's me, Brother Qian, hehe, I can't imagine it, I'm from the government now. ”
"How did you do that? You're not afraid that the government will recognize you?"
Wang Miao retreated, sat on the chair, looked at the curious old money, and said slowly, "It's a long story...... Brother Qian. ”
Wang Miao shook Erlang's legs proudly, remembering that he still had to do something, he stopped teasing him, straightened up, and said,
"Okay, let's talk to you, so that you don't understand what's going on, I still need your cooperation later. ”
"That day, after we separated, I didn't go to another county, but to Fucheng. After arriving at the city, I found two little beggars and asked them to keep an eye on the city gate and the gate of the government in the direction of Linwu, and as soon as I found that the fast horse passed by, I immediately reported it to me.
"As I expected, this kind of murder case, Linwu County will definitely report to the government office, and on the fifth day, that is, the day after I arrived in Fucheng, the tolerance sent by Linwu came. Naturally, the little beggar found a way to find someone to ask, you know, but if it is a big case, no matter how the county government decides, the government office above will definitely send a re-examiner to re-examine it, but the time will not be so fast, ten days and half a month is considered a god speed.
"So I pretended to be the criminal officer of Fucheng and came down for a re-examination, but in fact, it was just a time difference. ”
Wang Miao blinked the one-eyed, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
"Impossible, this person from Linwu County is not an idiot, you believe it with empty mouths and white teeth?"
"Hehe, don't believe it, I'm just empty and white-toothed, and people believe it. ”
Wang Miao moved the chair over and sat against the railing to make herself more comfortable, and then said,
"Of course, there is a little story in the middle, and it is not so easy. ”
"After Linwu's errand was handed over, I spent two taels of silver to buy a set of good underwear and boots, and spent two taels of silver to hire a carriage, with the fastest speed, yesterday afternoon, rushed to the south of Linwu County dozens of miles away outside the small county, I got out of the carriage, stayed outside the city alone, and waited for the city gate to close ......when it was dark."
Wang Miao paused when she said this, and touched half of her face wrapped in white cloth.
"I stabbed myself in the face, and I wore only my underwear, covered with blood, and ran to the city gate, and told the people who guarded the gate that I was a great official of the city, and when I met a robber, my followers were all killed, and the money and money were robbed. Thanks to me, I saw that something was wrong, lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and while they were looting their belongings, I ran into the woods, and finally escaped the pursuit, and when I got here, let him take me to the county quickly.
"The gatekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and took me to the county office, and the county magistrate was naturally suspicious when he saw me, saying why he hadn't seen me, and asked the east and west. ”
Wang Miao laughed hesitantly, and continued,
"I said that I was originally a Beijing official, and I had only been in office for a short time, so naturally I hadn't seen it, and it happened that a big case happened in Linwu, so the city sent me down for review. As for the heads of Fucheng, hehe, when I came, I naturally found out clearly, and I couldn't ask me. After a few answers, I pretended to be angry and threatened him, saying that if these robbers dared to hunt me down to his territory, they must have been connived at by their gang of people who eat inside and out, and maybe it was the collusion of officials and bandits to kill me for money.
"I want to report to the prefect to punish them, and delay me in handling a major murder case, and punish both crimes, and if I don't cut off my head, I will be exiled for thousands of miles. ”
Wang Miao's eyes flashed with a stunning light, but the exposed half of her face was smiling, and there was an indescribable sense of disobedience.
"This little magistrate is frightened and unwilling, it is really a dilemma. I gave him an idea, first sent a messenger to the city to report the incident in detail, and then sent a team of officials to assist me in handling the case, so that I could monitor me and protect me from danger, so that everyone could be happy. ”
"This, is this okay? Could it be that the people in the government are all pig brains?" Guard Qian was dumbfounded when he heard this, his mouth was a little dry, and he swallowed his saliva and said.
"Hehe, Brother Qian, if you are that little magistrate, what should you do? Do you really dare to detain me? What if it is true?" Wang Miao looked at Lao Qian with some playfulness.
"I can't help it, I can only do what you say. Old Qian thought for a while, sighed and said, and then asked, "What happened later?"
"Later, I set off overnight with this team of officers. When Xiaozhi County saw that I was doing things so urgently, he believed a little more, and he didn't dare to slack off, and sent me out of the city gate properly. On the way, I told everyone that this time it was a murder case of a wealthy businessman, and after this kind of case is handled, everyone understands it, and it will definitely not lose the benefits of the brothers.
"These people were originally angry, and they had to run errands when they got up in the middle of the night, and they were reluctant, but when they heard that it was such a good thing, they couldn't ask for it even if they burned incense and worshiped the Buddha. Immediately emotionally raised, his attitude turned 180 degrees, and he obeyed my words and had no complaints.
"Hehe, I am equivalent to having my own team of cronies, and I am not afraid of his people in Linwu County when I handle the case.
In this way, everyone hurried and hurried, and finally arrived in Linwu County at dawn. ”
When Wang Miao said this, her expression changed slightly, and there seemed to be a little expectation in her eyes.
