Chapter 49: Catching a Turtle in an Urn

Looking at the family Ding Xun Death and Selling Life, I don't know what injuries he has suffered, what he has suffered, he is so painful, he even wants to commit suicide to end this life, and he feels that there is a story in it.

He asked, "Whose house is this?" ”

"What's the matter with you?"

"I was passing by here, following the boss to do business, passing by and begging for a bowl of water to drink, I saw that there are trees here, like a big family, it should be no problem to ask for water to drink, so I came, and found that you were crying here, I don't know what you have experienced, but I know that you must be in a bad mood now." Catch said quickly.

"Oh, it's just like me. Drinking water is no problem. Please follow me. The family stopped crying, with tears on his face, and said to the catcher.

"Oh, maybe you're overly hungry and not thirsty, but you're on an errand in a rich family, so you must be a little wronged, you can talk about it, what happened?" Catch up and ask.

"You don't know, it's okay to talk about it, the head of the family is surnamed Zhu, rich, targeted by thieves, last night happened to be me on duty, in the second half of the night, there were thieves to steal, I shouted to pursue, and when the other families came, the thieves had already run away, could not chase, stole a lot of gold and silver treasures, the head of the family began to abuse me, to fine me a year's salary, and beat me. The head of the house was angry outside, and when he came home, he took out his anger at me. Do you think it's the right thing to do? Jia Ding said.

"What's going on? The head of the house is angry outside? Who would dare to give him anger? "Hurry up and ask.

"You don't know that. The county magistrate of our county, Wu Zhi'an, is a bully who is afraid of the hard. For this gang of thieves, I have always wanted to recruit An, but I don't have that confidence, if the thief is recruited as an official, everyone is willing to be a thief. The thieves did not listen to him, repeatedly refused to accept him, and always committed crimes, specializing in stealing rich people. The rich families united to sue Wu Zhian for inaction, but Wu Zhian had no choice but to promise to give the rich some benefits, so he didn't go to the joint complaint again, not afraid of being stolen, and stole Wu Zhi'an to fill the hole, this is no way. Who knew that in the hands of Master Zhu, after checking, he lost almost all the income of Gucheng County for most of the year, which made Wu County Ling very annoyed, and if he helped make up for it, it was possible to make the county government bankrupt. rejected Master Zhu's request, and ordered Master Zhu not to talk nonsense to the outside world, even if it was good things about the county master, I was afraid that some people would make a fuss and make Master Wu Zhian unable to come to the stage. Jia Ding said.

"So, is Master Zhu going to keep his mouth shut?" Catcher asked.

"Yes, Master Zhu is afraid of officials, as long as he doesn't trouble him, if he loses his treasure and is depressed, he will be angry with me." Jia Ding said.

"I see!" Catch fast said, and then took off the clothes of the common people, wearing the official uniform of catching fast.

When the family saw it, he immediately fainted.

In the middle of the catcher, he slowly woke up, and when he saw the catcher, he knelt down with a "poof".

While crying, he said: "Master Bing, let go of the villain!" Spare the villain! ”

"Don't be afraid, I'll let you go, I'll spare you! You are telling the truth, there is no need to worry. Take me to your master. Catcher said quickly.

"No, no, no, if the head of the family knows that I brought the soldier in, he will definitely suspect that I said it, and he will settle accounts with me in the future, maybe he will skin me alive and draw my tendons." Jia Ding cried.

"No, if you don't worry, you go in, close the door, I'll knock on the door again, you let someone open the door, you won't suspect you, what about me, I'll go and invite your master, go to see my master, in this way, we don't make mistakes, it's all fine, what do you think?" Catch said quickly.

"This, I think it's okay, okay, I'll go in first, you must come, otherwise, you are a person who does not believe in your word, remember! Soldier! Jia Ding said.

The housekeeper ran in and closed the door.

I waited a little longer, thinking it was better.

Then he stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was not the same guy who opened the door.

The man who opened the door looked at an errand catcher, trembled with fright, and asked, "Who do you dare to ask?" ”

"Looking for Zhu Yuanwai, is he there?" Catch said quickly.

"Yes, yes, I'm going to announce, may I ask your surname?" Jia Ding asked.

"Don't have your surname left. You just said that the county government was quick to catch it. Catcher said quickly.

"Okay, I'm going to let me know, please wait." Jia Ding said, and then closed the door.

After a while, the family came out and said, "The master has an invite." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Catch said quickly.

"You're welcome, my lord often deals with people from the county government, but I haven't seen you." Jia Ding said.

"You have too many questions, just do your part." Catch said quickly.

The family didn't dare to speak, and quietly led the catcher to the living room.

A red-faced man sat on the Taishi's chair, and as soon as he saw Catcher, he immediately stood up and invited him to take a seat, and Catcher sat down leaning, as if he was going to leave immediately.

"Come on, make tea!" The red-faced man commanded.

"Dare to ask if it's Zhu Yuanwai?" Catcher asked.

"It's Xiao Lao'er, just now the family reported that you are the left catcher from the county government."

"Exactly, I'm Zuo Catcher. There is a right catcher in the Yali of Gucheng County. I'm not like him. "Say it quickly.

"Know, know, even poor brothers, siblings, there are differences. It's nothing, it's understandable. I don't know what the government is looking for me? The little old man is obedient and will never cause trouble to the government. If you have a problem, you should solve it yourself, and it is better to ask the government than to ask yourself. Zhu Yuanwai said.

"I heard that you have something to sue the official, but nothing happened, it's very strange, Ben Catcher was entrusted to come to the house to invite him to talk. I don't know if it's convenient? Catcher said quickly.

"Okay, you can, it's just that Wu County's order is said first, and the little old man doesn't dare to disobey the order. I hope the public will forgive me. Zhu Yuanwai said.

"No problem, no problem. This one is on me. Let's go. Catcher urged.

"Okay, come on, prepare the horses." Zhu Yuanwai commanded.

After a while, the family came in and said, "Sir, the horses are ready." ”

It was the man who was crying at the base of the wall.

"Humph!" Zhu Yuanwai seemed to have insects in his nose, and he snorted, wanting to drive the insects out.

As a result, the worms didn't come out, and it took a lot of effort.

The two went out, stepped on their horses, and came directly to Valley City.

Entering the city, Zuo Yu Kuai led the way in front, and Zhu Yuan followed closely behind.

When the two arrived at the pavilion, Zhu Yuanwai was surprised. There was doubt in his eyes.

"Outside Zhu Yuan, please go in first." Catch said quickly.

Zhu Yuan looked outside, this catcher was wearing a uniform, and he was not a charlatan, why was this office not in the county office, but went to the pavilion, is it to avoid suspicion? Or is it to avoid trouble? Don't let the bad guys find the prefectural magistrate himself, so that the prefectural magistrate can rest assured?

Fu Ying sat at the table, and when he saw Zhu Yuanwai, he didn't stand up.

Zhu Yuanwai was surprised, where is this sacred? Seeing the rich man is like seeing the air, but the rich man does not exist. Zhu Yuanwai feels that this is not respected, is it like this? And he was a little frightened, and he did not dare to be angry, but he was a little in awe, and complimented the one who sat up.

"This is our county magistrate." Catch said quickly.

"You're here?" Fu Ying said.

"Here, the little old man's surname is Zhu." Zhu Cai said.

"Oh, Zhu Yuanwai! I heard something happened to your family? Fu Ying asked.

"Oh, yes, oh, no, no, no, it's okay, it's okay."

"What's going on? Talking and talking, isn't there your family or other family? Fu Ying asked.

"Oh, no, lord, oh, county master, my family is fine." Zhu Yuanwai said.

"Who's in trouble?" Fu Ying asked

"Oh, this, this, only Wu Xianling knows. Little Lao'er doesn't know. Zhu Yuanwai said.

"Nonsense! Even the thieves themselves confessed, saying that it was your family who stole it, and if it wasn't your family, the stolen money would have been handed over to the state treasury. Fill the treasury for the emperor, don't cry! Fu Ying said.

"This, this, it doesn't make sense! So, I'm out of the way, and I'll tell you the truth! I just hope that the stolen goods will not be handed over to the treasury. Zhu Yuanwai said.

"That's right! The official said that the thief was caught and caught, and the stolen goods were recovered, you said that it was not stolen, and the thieves said that they stole your home, and you said no, then, the thief said a lie, of course I will not let the stolen goods return to your home, because your family has not lost, do you say this is the truth? If you want to pay it back, you will return it to the family that has lost it, right? Fu Ying asked.

"It's Xiao Lao'er's mistake, he shouldn't lie, Xiao Lao'er's home was really patronized by thieves, and he did lose a lot of money, and he also sued the official, Wu County's order did not let it be publicized, and maintained a consistent caliber to the outside world, not to mention theft, to protect the reputation of Gucheng. The little old man has words of suffering, no one listens to them, and no one helps them, which is really difficult. I'm in a bad mood every day! When he met Zuo Zhukuai, Xiao Lao'er thought that he was sent by Wu County to test Xiao Lao'er, and he panicked, and now when he sees Lord Qingtian, he must help to let Xiao Lao'er's things return to Zhu. Zhu Yuanwai said.

"It's pretty much the same, it's not a big man, as long as you can let the local people live and work in peace and contentment." Fu Ying said, "You wait for the side first, we have to deal with official business, if you are here, you can also drink tea, if you don't want to be here, you can live in another place, if you have a horse, you can go home, if you don't have a horse, wait until the stolen goods are brought in, you can arrange to consign it back, how about it?" ”

"No problem, no problem!" Zhu Yuanwai said.

As long as you can recover his money, you can say anything. He decided to stay at the pavilion and wait for the good news.

Here, Fu Ying arranged manpower to dispatch elite soldiers and strong generals from the Gucheng County Ya to the thieves' den to capture the thieves.

For that place, he was very familiar with it, he took a group of people to the thief's den quickly, surrounded the thief's nest, and then attacked it, killing all the people in black, and the last one wanted to escape through the back door, but he was also caught, tied up with five flowers, and brought it to Gucheng County Ya with stolen goods.

When Wu Zhian saw it, he was overjoyed, this was a case sent to the door. There is money to be made, and my heart is happy.

Helplessly, Fu Ying was beside him, and he was not good at showing it.

When Zhu Yuanwai heard that the thieves had been caught at the county office, he immediately couldn't sit still, and when he rushed to the county office, he beat the drum and complained.

Wu Zhi'an asked, "Who is beating the drum?" ”

"Zhu Yuanwai!"

"Pass him in." Wu Zhi'an commanded.

When Zhu Yuanwai saw Fu Ying sitting next to him, he had a bottom in his heart.

"Who is the one who kneels?" Wu Zhi'an asked.

Zhu Yuanwai laughed in his heart, and asked knowingly, this is acting, yes, acting, so he said: "The little old man's surname is Zhu." Lives in Zhuzhuang outside the city. ”

"What's the matter with drumming?" Wu Zhi'an asked.

"It's the theft of the property in the little old man's house to sue him." Zhu Yuanwai said.

"How many things were stolen? What are they? Wu Zhian asked.

"Master, little old man, here is a list of stolen materials, please take a look." Zhu Yuanwai said, and took out the fold from his sleeve, which was densely written with stolen property.

The master took the excerpt and handed it to Wu Zhi'an. Wu Zhian unfolded the fold and saw that there were indeed a lot of things, and then looked at the stolen goods, which were completely consistent.

"Not bad. It seems that you filed in time. The county has just captured a gang of thieves who committed the crime. You've come just in time! Wu Zhian said.

"Thank you, sir!" Zhu Yuanwai said.

After interrogation, the thieves claimed that they had a group of eight people, and that night, they sneaked into Zhu Yuanwai's house and waited for an opportunity to commit the crime.

Make an appointment for a meeting place. During the day, he did not dare to act, for fear of arousing suspicion, so he left the city in the evening.

Because he carried a large amount of property, in order not to attract the attention of others, he bribed the prostitute, made the prostitute pretend to be sick, lay on the door panel, and carried the door panel to the meeting place.

The prostitute gets the benefit and is willing to assist the thief in his task of transferring the stolen goods.

"I see! Shuli, write down what was said, and then have the eight thieves sign it. Wu Zhi'an commanded.

"Master, thank you for your unique vision and solving a big case!" Zhu Yuan said.

"Don't come to this set! Aren't you still thinking about your stuff? Come on, look at the folds, look at the folds and the stolen goods, select the things outside the Zhu Yuan, and return them to the original owners. The remaining part will be temporarily detained in the county office, and will be verified and returned one by one when other sufferers come to sue them. Wu Zhian said.

As soon as the words ended, the drums outside sounded.

Wu Zhi'an was shocked, no, who is beating the drum to complain?

Look at this crow's mouth, what are you afraid of?

"Who's drumming? Brought in. Wu Zhian said.

After a while, more than a dozen people came in from the outside, and when they came in, they knelt down in the lobby, shouting that they were wronged and wanted to be the master of the small people.

"What are you suing?" Wu Zhian asked.

"Xiaomin sued the family for being stolen by thieves." Someone at the bottom answered.

That's basically the answer.

"What evidence is there?" Wu Zhi'an asked.

The complainant took out the relevant evidence and submitted it, some were shopping receipts, some were other tickets, and a list of stolen materials, and submitted them one by one, Wu Zhian asked people to check them one by one, and asked clearly who the thief had been to and what he had stolen? Strive not to miss an object, so that everyone can find their belongings.

When these were completed, there was not a single piece of stolen goods left, and all of them went to the bitter master, and Wu Zhian was very disappointed. It turns out that people's hearts and property are tied together, and property is remembered by everyone, and it is not the slightest difference, and it is more important to worry about property than to worry about people.

Wu Zhian originally wanted to leave some property to the county government, speaking of which it was good to invite merit and reward, or get a reward from the emperor, but he didn't expect this plan to fall through, he originally wanted to attack, so he insisted on staying some, and looked at Fu Ying sitting next to him, so he had to give up, if it wasn't for Fu Ying, this case really couldn't be solved.
