Chapter 11: Framing
Hearing that the other party said that they were going to search their bodies, the people who were already full of resentment immediately blew up the pot, and other people's things were robbed, so instead of catching the thieves, you showed off your might to them.
"Search? Why are you searching, my uncle is the boss of Zhang Ji Commercial Bank! A man who lived in the Tianzi room was suddenly dissatisfied, he came to Lingshan County this time to do business, and now the business has not been completed, but he has been unlucky to have such a thing.
"Yes, why do you have a body search? With this idle time, I would have caught someone a long time ago! ”
Everyone, you and I said a word, and the quick face was like a pig's liver, and it was black and red for a while under the light of the torch.
If it was just an ordinary robbery, they would naturally go to catch the thief, but the identity of the person who was robbed today is a bit special, it is a figure from the state capital, the county order attaches great importance to it, and the thief has been arranged to arrest him, but in order to do enough work, the Fulai Inn can't relax here.
Although he also knew that the possibility of having an accomplice of thieves in the inn was very small, he had no choice but to bite the bullet in order not to blame the adult.
"Humph! Don't say that your uncle is the boss of Zhang Ji Trading Company, even if your uncle comes today, you have to search for it! ”
"What are you doing in a daze?"
"Search for me!"
Catching up with a cold snort, several officials around him immediately rushed out, pressed the young man to the ground, regardless of the other party's howls and curses, and searched up strongly, and finally found twenty taels of silver from the young man, as well as some scattered things.
did not find any evidence that the other party was related to the thief, so he quickly looked at the middle-aged man in a fancy dress in the corner, and saw that the other party did not move, so he waved his hand and began to search the next person.
Although there were a lot of people in the yard, most of them were helpless people, who were forced by a group of catchers to use knives, and they could only be searched obediently.
There were a lot of various things such as silver, copper coins, snacks, medicinal herbs, bottles and cans, but I didn't find anything related to the thief.
Soon, a group of catchers came to Xu Ying and the others, with a fierce expression, in the face of those guests who lived in the Tianzi room, they might be a little polite, but Xu Ying faced Xu Ying and the others, they were not good-tempered at all.
Dressed in a linen dress full of patches, crippled, old, and old, it looks like a mud leg from the countryside.
"Open up the baggage!" A servant scolded.
Although they were kicked out of the room, Xu Ying and the others brought out the baggage and salute, and in order to cause unnecessary trouble, their weapons were placed in the room.
Xu Maocheng's face darkened, on the battlefield, even in the face of the enemy, they were not afraid, today they were scolded by a few little cubs, and the anger in their hearts was almost uncontrollable, at this time, Xu Maozu stopped in front of him, for fear that Xu Maocheng would do something impulsive.
"This official, we came to the city to buy things, I just came to the city today, I don't know any thieves at all, by the way, I am still acquaintances with Chang Wei Chang Bantou in the yamen, and I gave him a pheasant not long ago!" Xu Ying stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.
As the so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling man, he has already seen that the other party is searching for thieves here is just for the gorgeously dressed middle-aged man, as long as he cooperates with the other party, there is basically nothing to do.
Hearing Chang Wei's name, the face of the official changed slightly, they are also "fast class" Yanei, they naturally know Chang Wei, or their boss, since Xu Ying and others know Chang Wei, they also have to give some face, otherwise Chang Wei will give them small shoes when the time comes, and they will also be uncomfortable.
As the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, the top boss is the most difficult to do.
"Get the baggage open!" The officer's face was a little better, but he still had to check Xu Ying and the others, after all, another team leader was still staring at the scene.
Xu Ying frowned, if there was a way, he didn't want to open the burden, after all, he now had eighty taels of silver in his baggage!
He still understands the truth that wealth is not exposed.
But the other party pressed too hard, and he had no choice, Xu Ying and the others could only open the baggage, and the officials were still a little careless, but when they saw the white silver in Xu Ying's baggage, their faces suddenly changed.
"Take it!"
With a loud shout, several officials suddenly surrounded Xu Ying and the four of them, not only Xu Ying was stunned, but the faces of the people around him changed greatly.
Is there really an accomplice of the thieves?
Seeing this movement, the catcher who was watching from the side immediately pulled out the scimitar on his waist and rushed straight towards Xu Ying and the others.
"We didn't break the law, so why did you arrest us?" Xu Ying's face was extremely ugly, and he pulled out a firewood knife from his waist.
Although this is the county seat, it is a dead end to fight against the government, but he can't be caught with his hands tied.
"What's going on?" The catcher walked over quickly, and said with murderous intent on his face.
"Li Bantou, he has a lot of silver in his baggage, and it is estimated that there are eighty taels of silver." The official who searched Xu Ying just now said excitedly.
"Oh?"
"Really?" Catch fast with excitement, his name is Li Quan, and like Chang Wei, he is the fast catcher of the yamen, the team leader!
At this moment, he was a little excited, originally just for show, but he didn't expect to catch the thief.
That's a big achievement, maybe he'll be able to go up another one!
"What are we?"
"All this silver is our own!" Xu Maocheng couldn't hold back any longer, picked up Xu Maozu, and said with a gloomy face.
"Hehehe, your own, as far as your poor sour appearance, can take out eighty taels of silver and I will eat!" The official who searched his body just now had completely forgotten Xu Ying's words just now, and he was only thinking about one thing now.
"Wait, this lord, this silver is really mine, this trip to the county is to buy a batch of crude iron, the eighty taels of silver are the capital I prepared, the token of the iron and stone management right is here, if you still don't believe it, you can ask the boss of the Jinshi Academy, I also ordered from him during the day!" Xu Ying stepped forward quickly, although he really wanted to have a face-slapping plot to make that guy eat.
However, in order to reduce some trouble, he still gave out his plan to come to the county seat.
Seeing the black iron order, Li Quan frowned, and just at a glance, he recognized that the token in Xu Ying's hand was real.
If the other party really came to the county seat to buy crude iron, he had eighty taels of silver on him...... It seems to make sense, after all, iron is not a cheap thing.
The most important thing is that the other party can get the right to operate the iron and stone, and there must be a relationship behind it.
Troublesome!!!
"My lord, I remembered that when they came to stay at the hotel during the day, they came with those three thieves!" At this time, the little guy in the inn suddenly squeezed in, pointing at Xu Ying and the three of them with flattery on their faces.
He didn't hear what Xu Ying said, he only heard that Xu Ying had eighty taels of silver on his body, others didn't know that he knew that the distinguished guest lost eighty taels of silver, and then thought of the day, isn't that a proper accomplice?
