Chapter 83: The Case
Cao County Lieutenant bowed deeply and reported what he had learned to Xin County Order: "Early this morning, the head catcher on duty received a report from the owner of the Changle Gambling House on the main street, saying that when the store was closed for liquidation in the middle of the night yesterday, he found that the account office had received more than 100 taels of fake silver tickets, and he also took the evidence together. ”
Cao County Lieutenant said and took out a few silver tickets in his arms, handed them to Xin County, who was sitting behind the bookcase and frowned, and then continued to report: "Later, there were Xijiang Restaurant, Jixiangxuan Restaurant and a few owners of snack stalls on East Street, who came to report one after another that they had received fake silver tickets. ”
"Let Ding An come over and reply immediately after asking, and then send some people to take a walk in other towns under his jurisdiction to see if there are any similar incidents."
"The subordinate obeys."
As soon as Lieutenant Cao was about to retire and arrange work for his subordinates, he was shouted back by Xin County's order: "Call He Xiancheng over, Lieutenant Cao and Ding An also move faster." ”
"Yes."
He Xiancheng soon came to Xin County's study, and after listening to Xin County's order, he picked up the fake silver ticket on the table and began to study it: "Strange. ”
"What's wrong? He Xiancheng found something wrong? ”
He Xiancheng handed the silver ticket in his hand forward and came to the front of Xin County's order: "You see the county order, this fake silver ticket is indeed very similar at first glance, but if you take a look at it again, you will find that it has many wrongs, first of all, the material of this paper, which is much inferior and rough than the special paper of the silver ticket. This fake technique seems to be too clumsy. ”
Xin Xian Ling nodded thoughtfully: "He Xian Cheng is right, since it is a fake silver ticket for the sake of expenses, it must be as demanding as possible, so that it is not easy to be discovered, but these fake silver tickets are too rough, as long as it is a person who is often in contact with silver tickets, it is difficult not to find the clues, both to fake, but to do so, it is really a bit contradictory." ”
While the two were talking, Lieutenant Cao took the headhunter Ding An to the study again.
"The little official has seen the county order."
Xin Xian Ling waved his hand, not caring too much: "Don't be polite, let's get down to business, what valuable information can you ask?" ”
Ding An replied respectfully: "The little official asked a few bosses who came to report the case, and the accounts of Changle Gambling House, Xijiang Wine Shop and Jixiangxuan Restaurant, and found that these silver tickets were almost all received during the busiest hours of business, or after the night, when the light was dim and people were tired, so they were only discovered when the accounts were cleared later. It is not uncommon for the guests in the gambling houses and wine shops to pay the bills with silver tickets, but in the hands of a few night stall owners, this matter is still relatively impressive, and they all say that it is four young men in their early twenties, who pay for money with larger silver tickets, and will immediately flee the scene after getting the change, and they will immediately flee the scene, according to their subordinates, they should all be the same people. The amount of money involved ranges from one or two to hundreds of vehicles, the types of shops are mixed, and the routes are also many turnarounds, covering a wide range of areas, like planned gang crimes. ”
He Xiancheng frowned, how could he feel that something was wrong: "This is even more strange, judging from the method of fraud, this group of people has rough technology, and it seems that they are not afraid of being discovered at all, but they are very cautious and cautious when committing the crime......
Xin Xian Ling also has some doubts in his heart, it seems that only by arresting the suspects as soon as possible can he answer the questions in his heart: "Cao County Lieutenant, strengthen the investigation of the entrances and exits in and out of the county, and arrange for the painter to draw the portraits of the four suspects as soon as possible according to the confessions of the night stall owners, Ding An, you continue to increase visits and investigations near several crime sites, maybe there are other people who have seen those four people, and strive to arrest these four people as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes!"
Ding An took his subordinates to catch the fast, took the portraits of the four people painted by the painter, and constantly inquired near several crime sites, not to mention that it was really false Xin County Order, someone really saw the four people who committed the crime, not only did they see it, but the person also directly pointed out the escape direction of several people.
According to the clues provided by the witnesses, the arresters quickly arrested the four people who spent fake silver tickets, and at the same time, the officials who went to the towns under their jurisdiction to inquire about the news also brought back the news, and there were also several towns below that similar incidents, but either the amount was not so large, or it was found on the spot, and one of the towns was the most eye-catching, it was Changshui Town!
The reason why I noticed Changshui Town is not only because such cases occur more frequently in Changshui Town than in other towns, but also because there is only Changshui Town, and many cases are all earlier than all other towns, and it seems that the root cause of everything is in Changshui Town.
The officials followed the vine and found all the way to a pair of brothers surnamed Jia in Changshui Town, it was they who were selling these fake silver tickets with rough workmanship, and what made people laugh was that they were not the final makers, and the Jia brothers used the paper money bought back from a grocery store and stamped with a privately engraved red seal, which made those rough fake silver tickets.
The officials found Huang Liang's grocery store all the way, confiscated all the silver tickets and paper money, and directly seized Huang Liang's shop!
It's a pity that Huang Liang, who heard a little wind in advance, took his concubine and ran back to the Hu family in Wufang Village.
"What did you say, cousin? Your grocery store has been sealed by the government! Why? What is the government doing with our shop? Hu Shun couldn't believe his ears, he had just lived a few days counting money every day, how could he be blocked!
"Where the fuck do I know where to go? I only heard that there is a brother surnamed Jia, who bought our paper money and made it into a real silver ticket to spend it, I guess the government came, and it could only be this thing? ”
"The matter of their family surnamed Jia, what are you doing with our shop? It's unreasonable! ”
"Tell me a! Maybe he thinks we're all his accomplices with the surname Jia! ”
Hu Shun's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he was so frightened that he was going to die, and tears came out in an instant: "That, that...... What's that going on? Cousin, what's the matter, can't you arrest us and go to jail, why don't we just sell two paper dollars, why did it become like this! ”
Before Huang Liang ran back to Wufang Village, as soon as he heard that the pair of Wang Balamb surnamed Jia actually took their own paper money to pretend to be a silver ticket, he was furious, and he couldn't wait to kill them alive, didn't he fucking pit him Huang Liang to death? You know, forging a silver ticket is a fucking felony that will cut off your head!
Knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this time, before coming back, Huang Liang thought of a countermeasure, fortunately, there was a Chu family in front of him who was more famous than his own, and their family also made the broken silver ticket paper money, and pushed it on them, but it was not wronged!
Huang Liang was upset by Hu Shun and yelled at him: "Cry, cry, cry!" You big man, you cry a fart! Listen to me, whoever asks will bite to death, can't say that the paper money is made by ourselves, just say that it was bought from the Chu family in the backing village, did you hear it! You remember for me, we don't know anything, we just sold it for a piece of paper! ”
Hu Shun was already stunned, at this time, he could only do whatever Huang Liang said, he had no idea at all, so he didn't react, they opened a workshop to make paper money, they have never been able to hide it, how can it not be exposed!
What he didn't know was that Huang Liang had one less step to tell himself, once the matter was revealed, Huang Liang himself would have a way to get out of his shell, that is, he Hu Shun, who had been showing up outside and doing things in the name of the owner of the Hu family's shop!
At this time, Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu didn't know that the silver ticket paper money made by the Hu family was about to cause a big disaster, and the little couple were helping the grandfather's family next door these days, after all, Chu Ping, who was the only Miaomiao, was going to be hired, which was a great joy for the grandfather's family!
After setting a dowry for going to Tang's family and choosing a good day, the group set off to Hexi Village under the leadership of the matchmaker.
As the family members of the man, the young couple also followed the hiring team, Chu Yi looked at his wife who was full of joy and curiosity beside him, and couldn't help but sigh, in a blink of an eye they have been married for almost two years, and now thinking back to the scene when they were hired, they still feel as if it happened yesterday vividly, but now they have already held his wife's hand and helped Chu Ping to propose!
When she was in charge of her own affairs before, Shen Luzhu didn't show up much as the heroine, but this time it was different, as Chu Ping's sister-in-law, she was helping from beginning to end, and she was too addicted.
After the appointment, they chatted for a long time with the Tang family, and when the little couple was returning from the Tang family in Hexi Village with the group, there were a few people dressed as officials on the village road, asking which one had a workshop for making paper money!
The villager who was questioned really said without thinking as Huang Liang expected: "The Chu family in the mountain village! His family has a workshop for making paper money! What's the matter with you? ”
Ding An, who was in the lead, just nodded to the fellow, and continued to hurry with a team of men and horses as if he hadn't heard his question.
A young catcher under his command trotted two steps and came to Ding An's side: "Boss, I remember if your hometown is also from a nearby village, why don't you go home and have a look this time?" ”
"No, it's business."
Ding An and his entourage inquired and searched all the way, and when they found the Chu family's old house, they happened to meet the young couple and Chu Ping's family who had just returned from across the river.
Shen Luzhu looked at a few people dressed as officials, looking in front of his shop, a little suspicious in his heart, and was about to step forward to ask, Chu Yi patted his hands to show appeasement, took two steps forward and asked: "This is my shop, how many officials don't know what's going on?" ”
Ding An turned around and looked at the young man standing opposite him: "You said this is your shop, your surname is Chu?" ”
"Exactly."
"Do you have a workshop in your house, and you made something called silver ticket paper money to sell?"
Shen Luzhu felt that something seemed to be wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to stand beside Chu Yi and responded: "There is a workshop, but the silver ticket paper money is not made in the workshop, I don't know what the official asked about this?" ”
I saw Ding Shan straighten his clothes and say word by word: "You are suspected of a case of forging silver tickets, come with us to the county office!" ”
