"Please"

The unhappy horse crew showed a warm smile on his face again, and when he saw the head catcher entering the door, he hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands: "How can the head catcher have time to come to the cold house today, please sit down and serve tea." ”

"Grandfather, I want to ask the grandfather of the teacher today, the brother of the concubine of the thirteenth room of your mansion was invited into the yamen, the crime is stealing, the human and material evidence is complete, please ask the grandfather to show the head of the arrest, how to deal with it."

The head catcher also returned the salute with his fists clasped with both hands, and the words spit out of his mouth were also very polite, but everyone understood the meaning underneath, it was nothing more than wanting an attitude outside the horse.

Ma Yuanwai's heart that was still carrying it was instantly put down, the brother of the concubine, what is that, wait, the brother of the thirteenth concubine is the one who came to sue the bookstore shopkeeper just now.

A nameless fire burned like this, and his concubine and concubine were in trouble, because there was still his blood on his body, but the concubine's brother was a few oldest.

"The concubine was originally a thing, and her brother has nothing to do with her own staff, so she can dispose of it at will." The horseman glanced at the butler on the side, and the butler stepped forward.

"The master catcher has worked hard, and these broken silver are bothered to ask the master to take his brothers to drink two glasses of water and wine, which is not a tribute." The housekeeper respectfully presented the purse and said politely.

The head catcher was not polite, took the purse and pinched it, feeling a little dissatisfied, but after a long time, I was afraid that I would not have the opportunity to make money.

Watching the head catcher leave, Ma Yuanwai's face sank completely, when did the concubine's family actually borrow their own name to swagger outside the market.

"Butler, you go and see whose money that person stole and was caught, and the thirteen concubines, you give me ......" The outsider made a movement to wipe his neck, the housekeeper nodded, took a few steps back, and ran out quickly.

The head catcher walked out of the Yuanwai Mansion, opened the purse, and saw that there was a silver ticket of ten taels inside, and his face was a little unsightly, which was too contemptuous of people.

I really want to tear up the silver ticket, but after thinking about it, I still don't want to, ten taels of silver, you can go to Rouge Alley to find a girl to play.

It's just that the head catcher just returned to the county office, but was stopped by the master, it turned out that the county master was affectionate, and quickly followed the master to the back hall, restrained all the arrogance on his body, and stood respectfully and waited.

"My lord, the headcatcher is here." The master bent down respectfully.

"I heard that you caught a few thieves today, where are the people, I will judge the case on the spot."

The teacup in the county master's hand was put down heavily, and the sound of the porcelain cup cracking expressed the resentment in his heart, which scared both the master and the head catcher.

The county magistrate hated in his heart, he had been in the position of the county for so many years, and he had finally found a position in the state capital of the seventh grade, as long as he survived the end of this year, he would be able to take office.

Unexpectedly, someone actually took out the official seal of the third product and came to scold himself, how many years, even the thieves in the county town can't be caught, can't be caught, and this year's assessment is unqualified.

That's the third product, I was so scared that I knelt down on the spot, but fortunately I couldn't bear the urge to urinate, otherwise I would lose the etiquette, and it is estimated that the black gauze hat on my head will not be guaranteed.

The head catcher peeked at the face of the county master, and was inexplicably worried, and usually people came to the government to beat the drum and voice their grievances, saying that the silver was stolen, and asked the government to investigate thoroughly.

They will occasionally catch a few thieves, and the county magistrate generally confiscates the silver, and then hits a dozen or twenty boards to blast it out, how can there be such a big move today to be promoted.

However, thinking of the dead appearance of the outsider, the head catcher rolled his eyes a few times, and said respectfully: "Master, the thief caught today is a powerful character, and there can be someone behind him." ”

The county master finally raised his noble head, glanced at the head catcher but did not speak, the head catcher was more observant, and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said:

"That thief is the brother of the thirteen concubines outside the horse, and it is said that he used to be the head of the thief, so we ......"

The headcatcher paused at this point, and then looked at the county master with some embarrassment, which means that there are people behind the people, and I can't help it.

The county master's eyes couldn't help twitching a few times, outside the horseman, that rich gentleman, it seems that this time the matter is going to be used as a backing for you, otherwise how to calm that person's anger and how to calm his grievances.

But why did that person send someone to emphasize to himself this time that he must severely punish the thief, it is the person who was stolen......

The county magistrate seemed to have opened up the second vein of Ren Du, raised his eyes and looked at the head catcher and asked, "Who was stolen today?" ”

The head catcher hurriedly said: "The one who was stolen was a farmer named Jixiang, who was stolen for two hundred taels, and there was a shopkeeper of Hanzhuang to testify, and there was a master from Qingshan Academy, who was injured and went to the pharmacy." ”

At this time, the shop also woke up, it is estimated that someone put pressure on the county master, otherwise the county master would not care about such a trivial matter.

It's just that who is this person who is pressuring, it seems that the official position is not small, and the head catcher's brain turned quickly, from someone came to report the news to return to the government, the whole process was thought through.

Suddenly, the head catcher thought of a sedan chair on the side, although it was just a quick glance, the sedan chair was also unremarkable, but the head catcher knew that today's events must be related to this sedan chair.

"Catch the head, go and invite the farmer named Jixiang, as well as the master of Qingshan Academy, and ask them a few questions from this county."

The head catcher was stunned for a moment, and at the same time he was worried, the one named Jixiang was not only robbed of the one hundred taels of silver ingots in his hand, but also thrown into the cell.

Can you change your own person to pretend to be auspicious, the head catcher head was running very quickly, and finally shook his head, that auspicious was seen by the shopkeeper of Hanzhuang, and he was not sure to buy the shopkeeper of Hanzhuang.

"Master, after an hour, let people beat the drum and sound the grievances, I want to ascend to the court to judge the case, by the way, invite the horse staff from our county to come and listen, and remember to let him bring his thirteen-room concubine." The county master's voice was gloomy and compassionate, which made the master light a piece of wax for the horseman in his heart.

The old man Xiang stood outside the palace and waited for a long time without seeing Jixiang come out, he was in a hurry, those catchers did not come out after bringing Jixiang and the bookstore guys in, and then the head catcher came out, and he left quickly before he had time to speak.

The old man Xiang thought about it, or went to Buzhuang to find peace, and the shopkeeper of Buzhuang saw that the old man Xiang was very polite, and hurriedly asked the guy to call Ping'an out.

When Ping An learned that his little brother had been arrested and brought into the mansion for a long time and had not come out, he was also a little anxious, but the shopkeeper smiled and shook his hand, asking Ping An to wait at the door of the mansion with the old man Xiang to ensure that it was okay.

I don't know why, the father and son saw the shopkeeper's determined look, and the anxiety in their hearts was a little less, and they thanked the shopkeeper, but they were avoided by the shopkeeper.
