Chapter 7: Cents
After arresting Zhang Wen, Li An did not follow him to the cell.
According to the rules of the yamen, if someone is arrested, he will not be interrogated at the first time, but will first let him see and understand in the cell, and then find an old oilman to intimidate and threaten.
If so, the prisoner confesses automatically, or because he is afraid of confessing his guilt.
Then everyone is more relaxed.
If you don't recruit it, hehehe......
Before that, of course, there is an important procedure.
That is to change the confession that has just been recorded.
As for the reason, hehehe, everyone understands.
Returning to the Spring Moon Tower, as soon as Li An approached, the dog in charge of guarding walked up.
"Brother An, just now Brother Qi brought someone over to meet the people inside."
Li An understands that it should be someone from the Cui family, and after explaining how to record a confession.
As soon as I entered the building, I saw the old bustard waiting there with a smile.
At the table next to him, there was also a middle-aged man dressed as a butler.
"Little adult, you are tired, I thought of something just now, I trouble you."
Li An nodded, took out the confession just now, put it on a lamp, and said with regret while lighting it: "I was also careless just now, when I arrested the prisoner, the confession you recorded made the prisoner ruin." It just so happens that you also remembered something, so let's both work hard and write a new one. ”
"Hehe, little adult, you have worked hard!"
Seeing this, the person dressed as a housekeeper showed a satisfied smile on his face, got up and said with a smile and said his hard work.
came to Ang Lee's side and secretly stuffed a stack of papers into Ang Lee's sleeve.
"It's hard work for you guys in the middle of the night."
The person dressed as a housekeeper said hard again, turned around and beckoned to the turtle father.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Don't you see that the little adult has been busy for so long and is thirsty? If you don't want to prepare a good Biluochun, get some good snacks. Let Qiuhong also come over, pinch the shoulders and beat the legs for the adults. ”
Glancing slightly at his sleeve, Li An showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Good guy, this shot is generous enough, and it will cost fifty taels of silver tickets as soon as it comes up.
However, Li Anxin also understands.
The money was not given to him alone, but to all the fast catchers who were on a business trip tonight.
The reason why it was handed over to him was because of his second uncle.
Of course, if Li Anxin kept it by himself and didn't share it with everyone, everyone would know about it, and they might not say anything on their lips, but they wouldn't know what they thought in their hearts.
will even alienate Ang Lee because of this.
After all, people who eat alone are very unpopular.
Soon, in a private room downstairs, Li Ang drank tea while enjoying his sister's beating of his shoulders and back, and started a new confession record.
After writing down the name, name, identity, occupation.
Ang Lee gave the old bustard a look and signaled that she could start.
The old bustard seemed to have been prepared, coughed lightly, and began a new story.
This confession does not match the original recording at all.
At the beginning of the recording, the old bustard couldn't tell the murderer, whether it was a man or a woman.
And this time, the old bustard bluntly said that she could be sure that the murderer who was disguised as a woman was Zhang Wen.
even said that when she found out that the murderer was about to run, she sent someone to quietly follow behind the other party, and saw with her own eyes that the man dressed as a woman entered Zhang Wen's house.
I've memorized the contents of the old bustard.
Li Ang called the little man sent by the old bustard over again and recorded his confession.
What the other party said was exactly the same as what the old bustard said, and he told in detail which street he followed from, where he hid, and where he saw the other party's home.
Blank sheets of paper were written one by one, and one by one they came in and out.
With the warm sunlight shining into the house through the flower window, Li An handed the last stroke in his hand and handed the confession in his hand to the person opposite.
"Let's see, if it's okay, sign it."
yawned, picked up the best Biluochun and took a sip, and Ang Li began to pack up Luo Cheng's stack of confessions and prepare to leave.
"My lord, you've been tired for so long, why don't you come into my room and rest for a while?"
Seeing that Li An was about to leave, the sister who fanned him on his shoulder reached out and hugged Li Jun's waist.
Li An, who was packing up his things, glanced back at his sister with spring eyebrows, looked down at his strong chest muscles, endured the idea of morning luck, and waved his hand: "I'm not too tired today, I'll go to rest when I'm tired." ”
After speaking, he looked at his sister's resentful eyes, held a big confession, and left Chunyue Tower step by step.
"When this case is over, invite him to come over and play for a few days."
At the mouth of a window, looking at Li An, who was leaving with a few servants, the man dressed as the shopkeeper stroked his beard and explained to the old bustard Ru Niang next to him.
Ru Niang frowned slightly, and said a little puzzled: "Isn't it just a nephew of a little head catcher?" Let's use it like this, slap him? ”
The housekeeper glanced at Ru Niang and said lightly: "If it's just a small catcher, you don't have this qualification, but who let Du Yuan's guy be promoted?" ”
"Promotion?"
Ru Niang was a little puzzled, most of the head catchers in the yamen were lifelong, and they were in a small county town all their lives. Unless you meet someone noble, it is difficult to move up the ranks.
This Du Yuan always catches his head, has he met any nobles?
Seeing Ru Niang's puzzled expression, the butler smiled and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "The empress intends to set up a Heavenly Spirit Guard under her command only, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and dealing with the ghosts and monsters that have frequently popped up recently.
The candidates for Tianlingwei are all the descendants of those meritorious soldiers, or the fast arresters in various counties and counties with outstanding case-handling ability. ”
"According to the news we have received, our Tai'an County will set up a hundred households, and the candidate for this hundred households is the chief catcher in our county, the second uncle of this little servant, Du Yuan."
Hearing such a secret news, the old bustard Ru Niang was a little surprised: "That Du Yuan, how can He De be able to cross from a small head catcher to such a big position as a hundred households." ”
The housekeeper shook his head, "I don't know very well, but I heard from our master that Du Yuan's father once saved a big man when he died on the battlefield."
The thousands of households in Fucheng, when we chose the hundred households in Tai'an County, it was Du Yuan recommended by this big man. ”
The old bustard nodded suddenly.
She said, Du Yuan, a small catcher who doesn't even have a grade, how can he directly cross over to the top six and one hundred households in one step without a background of strength.
……………
"Fourth brother, is my second uncle back?"
Li An held a confession, and as soon as he returned to the county office, he found the fourth brother who was taking a nap.
The fourth brother, who was a little dazed, rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"I've come back, and as soon as the city gate was opened, I sent someone to look for it, and the head knew that something big had happened, so he hurried back, and he was reading the confession in the class room."
Knowing that the second uncle was back, Li Anxin breathed a sigh of relief, took out 20 taels of silver tickets from his arms, and stuffed them into the hands of the fourth brother.
"This is given by that family, I kept the second uncle's share, and the fourth brother exchanged the rest of the trouble and gave it to the brothers."
The fourth brother, who was still a little confused, just touched the silver ticket with his hand, and his spirit immediately came up.
glanced at the fourth brother, who still had eye feces on his face, revealing his big yellow teeth.
"It's not a wasted night!"
happily touched the cinnabar on the silver ticket, the fourth brother patted Li An's shoulder, with a satisfied smile on his face, and quickly looked for a few other catchers.
