Chapter 22 The public takes people
Yi Shuyuan not only had the same voice as He Xin, but also seemed to have an infectious force, and when he heard it, even Lin County's order was already furious.
"The evil merchant's boat is now parked at the county wharf, still having fun on the ship, there are still women on the boat who are like me or deceived or captured, only hate me Although I am a ghost, I can't help him, so I beg Du Gongzi to come and avenge my grievances......"
After Yi Shuyuan said this, Lin County, who had already heard it in anger, smashed down the shocking wood.
"Smack~"
"Come on, go to the wharf outside the south of the city to arrest the criminal Jia Yuntong, there must be no mistake-"
"Yes! Come with me, brethren! β
A leader in the outer hall who was waiting for the order rushed out of the county office with eight catchers, and the nine people who were in a hurry passed by the woman in white at the door, but no one could see her with an excited face.
Yi Shuyuan's body shook slightly at this moment, and then he stood still, gasping while facing the position of the public case, and bowed to the county order.
"My lord, the county government hall is protected by my vigor and strict righteousness, the ghost can't stay for a long time, Miss He Xin has returned to wait outside the public gate!"
This is Yi Shuyuan's own voice.
Just now, the ghost's words were clear and polite, and it didn't seem to be harmful, Lin Xianling was not as scared as he was at the beginning, and when he heard Yi Shuyuan's current statement, he was even more relieved, he looked Yi Shuyuan up and down, and then nodded again and again.
"Mr. Yi is tired, come here, show Mr. to sit!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Yi Shuyuan thanked him, and watched the official move the seat, he thought for a while and said to the county order with some emotion.
"Lord County, Yi is compiling the county chronicle, and the adult will judge the lonely soul at night to seek justice for him, and this matter will be recorded in the Yuanjiang County Chronicle!"
Lin Xianling was slightly stunned, nodded a little hindsightly, and a trace of inexplicability appeared on his face.
The day judges the people, and the night breaks the soul, this matter is recorded in the book, just thinking about it, it makes Lin Xianling a little excited, he took a deep breath, and another kind of bearing rose in his heart, this case must be judged beautifully!
"There is Mr. Roy, just record it truthfully!"
"Yes."
Yi Shuyuan responded and walked to the side, and the master over there had already stood up.
"Mr. Yi, please!"
After Yi Shuyuan gave his hand, the two sat down together, and the master cautiously leaned over to ask.
"Mr. Yi, then Miss He Xin ...... now" "Just waiting outside the door."
"Oh......"
The master nodded, followed the direction of Yi Shuyuan's gesture and looked outside the empty gate, only to feel as if there was a yin wind blowing, and couldn't help but tighten his clothes.
Outside the sight of others, the white-clothed female ghost He Xin was gratefully saluting Yi Shuyuan.
Yi Shuyuan let out a sigh of relief, this woman is much more normal now, she didn't shed black blood anymore, and he thought about the fast catchers who left quickly just now, they moved quickly, and they seemed to be good at martial arts, hoping to bring back that evil businessman.
Outside the inner hall, the county lieutenant was late, and when he saw that the yamen martial artist was missing a large number of votes, he asked the old sect leader on the side about the situation, and after the two whispered a few words, they also chose to leave the yamen to go to the dock to have a look.
-----------------
At the south gate of Yuanjiang County, nine arresters came quickly, and it was not only the nine of them who wanted to arrest the prisoners, but also a strong class officer.
"I'll give the order to arrest the key culprit, and quickly open the city gatesβ"
The official guarding the city gate came out with a yawn and a coat, glanced at the fierce looking catcher, and asked the Zhuang Ban who came with them.
"Hoha~~~ Who are the brothers arresting this big night?"
"Less nonsense! Open the city gate quickly, and if you escape, you will be asked! β
The head catcher spoke, with anger in his voice, which frightened the foreman guarding the door, and hurriedly opened the city gate with his brothers.
As the heavy city gate slowly opened, Yu Kuai and a group of officials immediately rushed out, and the county wharf was less than two miles away, and the lanterns on the wharf and the lights on the ship could be seen at the city gate.
Catch fast is taught public martial arts, even the government has two hands, at least stronger than ordinary people, the group soon came to the dock, there are many boats of all sizes parked here, there are four or five boats in the building alone.
"You, you, and a few of you go there, a few of you go to the other side, let's go separately to investigate, first find out which boat that guy is in, don't act rashly, after finding him, the brothers will go on the boat together to arrest people!"
"Yes!"
Several waves of people, led by experienced catchers, quickly figured out the ships coming from Luozhou by asking the people on the docks, locked the building ship of Jiangzhou merchants, and notified colleagues to come over, about half a cup of tea, nine catchers and sixteen officials gathered in front of the building boat.
It seems that the boat is still singing and dancing, and in addition to the sound of music, there are also frolicking and scolding from time to time, which seems very noisy.
In the darkness, more than 20 people wearing high-topped square crowns gathered outside the ship and looked up.
"Humph!"
The head catcher snorted coldly and said to the left and right.
"I'll wait for the boat to get on the boat, first restrain the captain, Lao Yu will take you to take a few people to guard the sides of the boat to seal the front and rear entrances, remember to pay attention to our movements and act at the opportunity, understand?"
"Understood!"
"Up!"
The next moment, the two good catchers jumped up and landed on the deck of the building ship one after another, and then lowered the gangplank together, and the people below immediately rushed up.
"Hey, who are you?"
"The yamen of Yuanjiang County is handling the case, and the idle people are out of the way!"
The headhunter violently swept away one of the people who had just stepped out of the deck, rushed to the main hall of the building with the group, and kicked the door.
"Bang~"
In the brightly lit hall, the music stopped abruptly, and the dancing woman in cool clothes ran to the corner in panic.
The people in the hall all looked at the entrance in astonishment, and a group of fierce hunters rushed in.
"Who is Jia Yuntong?"
The head catcher asked loudly, but his eyes had locked on the fat man in the center of the hall, and the one sitting at the top should be the evil merchant, and his appearance and characteristics also matched.
The headcatcher beckons to the left and right.
"This must be the man, catch him! Don't let the others go, take them all! β
"Yes!" "Command!"
A group of hungry tigers immediately rushed forward, and the hall was suddenly chaotic and screaming.
"Ahh "Help!"
"It's none of my business, it's none of my business......"
The others only grabbed people, while the two catchers rushed towards Jia Yuntong together, and the latter screamed in panic and retreated.
"What crime have I committed? Why are you arresting me? β
"Capital offense!"
One of them responded through gritted teeth, and reached out to grab Jia Yuntong.
It's just that at this moment, a foot suddenly kicked on the catcher's hand, and then another slap hit him on the shoulder.
"Bang~", a catcher flew to the side, and the pupils of the catcher next to him shrank, and he immediately drew his knife.
"Zheng~"
"Dare to arrest, accept your lifeβ"
"Zheng~"Zheng~"Zheng~"Zheng~"
All the catchers present drew their knives, and many people rushed to the direction of Jia Yuntong, only to see a person's figure swaying from side to side, avoiding many knife cuts, and moving around the catchers like ghosts.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang......
Three more catchers were knocked away.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the head catcher also pulled out his knife and stepped forward, forcing the opponent to move away from two positions with a blow, and then turned around to drag the knife with his feet, and slashed to follow, but before the knife light arrived, he was kicked away by the other party, and the head catcher couldn't help but take a few steps back.
At this moment, the scene in the cabin was chaotic, many people had been controlled by the officials, and many of the catchers had fallen in the corners, struggling to get up.
There were screams and screams.
The only people standing confronted each other in the hall.
"Who is your Excellency, and why are you stopping us from arresting important criminals? This man's sin is so great that if you protect him, you will be an accomplice! β
Standing on the opposite side of the head catcher and the group of catchers is a middle-aged man in a blue shirt, his hands and arms are long, and his posture is slightly bowed, like an ape low and lazy, he protects Jia Yuntong behind him, he doesn't seem to care about the angry shouts of the head catcher, and says with a smile.
"Take people's money and people to eliminate disasters, you can't take this person away, but I don't want to entangle with people in the public door so I left my hand, just said hello, if you want to be stronger, I'm not welcome!"
Jia Yuntong was frightened just now, but seeing that he was temporarily carefree, he also eased his breathing while taking something out of his arms, and hurriedly said out loud.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter, I have some silver taels here, how about you take it to drink flower wine?"
"Oh? Misunderstand? But someone complained at the county office, and since the county lord has already given the order, he will know if he went to the county office! β
The headcatcher knew that he was invincible, but he did not show timidity, but quietly glanced at the man guarding outside the cabin, and the man jumped off the boat silently under the cover of the headcatcher's deliberately raised voice.
"It must be a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding! Who is complaining? β
The head catcher thought for a moment, with a strange smile on his face, and said in a faint and cold voice.
"It was not a person who complained, but a ghost beating a drum to cry out grievances, which caused the yamen to ascend in the middle of the night, and the ghost's name was ...... He Xin! β
The head catcher has been paying attention to Jia Yuntong's expression, and when He Xin's name came out, the other party's body trembled violently, and he couldn't help but make the head catcher sneer.
"Hmph, you know you're scared? Even if we can't hold you, but the ghost will come to you to ask for your life, do you choose to go to the county office, or wait for the ghost to come to the door? β
The catcher narrowed his eyes and whispered.
"You must have killed more than one person......
Jia Yuntong on the other side was already pale.
"Huh, nonsense! Why, if there is any ghost, someone must have framed me......"
"I'll tell you if it's nonsense......"
The head catcher is forty-three years old this year, he has been in the Chengtian Mansion for many years to catch fast, his martial arts may not be high, but his experience is not bad, a few years ago when he returned to his hometown, he was immediately hired by the county commander at that time as the head catcher of the fast shift in Yuanjiang County, he naturally knew that this moment was to attack the heart and delay the time of the two-pronged approach.
