Chapter 194: Arrest and interrogate carefully
However, not long after leaving, the Song family and the Jiang family were stopped by a team of messengers. The leading official looked at the group of people, frowned, and asked, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? What is the purpose of entering the city? ”
Zhao Changsheng took a step forward, took out his deed from his arms, and said to the servant: "Let's go back to our own home." ”
The leading officer, carefully studying the deed, saw that it was written "No. 9 Chongxi Street", his eyes were sharp, he quickly pulled out the saber on his waist, and said to the officers behind him: "Brothers, the deed is fake, this person's identity is unknown, take it back and interrogate it carefully." ”
Seeing this, Song Ergui hurriedly said, "Poor master, isn't there any misunderstanding?" If you look at this deed again, it can't be fake! ”
The leading official snorted coldly and said, "No. 8 and No. 9 Chongxi Street? You're quite a fake. Do you know who lives on Chongxi Street? The people there are either rich or noble, and they all have status. These two courtyards, where the terrain is the best, I heard that they are the nobles in the palace, idle houses.
You people will take advantage of the loopholes. Think that if no one lives in it, can you forge the deed at will? Brothers, I heard that there are mountain bandits in Wulei County, who are extremely vicious and murderous.
I suspect you are accomplices of the bandits! Say, What is the purpose of coming to the city? I advise you not to resist, obediently tie your hands and capture, the Chenwang Mansion is not far from here, attracting the guards of the palace, be careful of your life! ”
As he spoke, more than a dozen officials scattered and surrounded the two families in the middle. Seeing this, the people who were watching the excitement around quickly dispersed, hiding in a distant place to watch, and the shops on both sides quickly went up to the door panels, for fear of becoming a pond fish that would be affected.
Song Ziran rode a sheep bleating, slowly walked to Zhao Changsheng's side, and said crisply: "Uncle Yashi, didn't you investigate before arresting people?" This is easy to cause unjust, false and wrongful cases! If you take a closer look, our deed has the official seal of the government office, so it can't be faked, right? ”
The leading official saw the little girl with pink makeup coming over, and unconsciously restrained the fierce color on his face. However, he still did not hesitate: "Who said that the official seal cannot be faked? Let the others go first, and say, from whom did you buy your yard? ”
Song Ziran tilted her little head, her face was full of innocent smiles: "Our house was not bought, it was given away by others!" ”
"Send? With such a valuable house, who would give it away easily? Little girl, a lying child is not a good child, give you another chance, how did this house come about? The leading officer, who felt that the child's mouth was the easiest to pry open, decided to start with her.
Song Ziran blinked his big sparkling eyes, without fear or weakness, and said confidently: "I'm not lying, the house is sent by King Chen's mansion." No. 8 Chongxi Street is a gift from the prince to Jinyu's little brother at the age of ten. No. 9 Chongxi Street is the first time that Brother Zhuang has completed the task independently, and the prince has given him a reward! Our family contributed to the prescription, and the two little brothers gave us the house as a reward. If you don't believe it, you can go to Chenwang's Mansion to inquire! ”
Seeing that her words were reasonable, and she could clearly tell the origin of the two courtyards, and it also involved the Chenwang Mansion, the leading official hesitated.
Song Ziran said again: "My two elder brothers are on an errand next to the little prince of Chenwangfu, surnamed Song. If the uncle still doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to go to the concierge of King Chen's mansion and know that I haven't lied. Also, our deed was made by the chief housekeeper of the Chenwang Mansion to help with the government. You can also send someone back to the government and ask for it. ”
Another official approached the leader's side and whispered, "Chief, what this little girl said is the head." At her age, there are no adults to mention it by her side, so what she says shouldn't be fake. If they really have an old relationship with King Chen's Mansion, we can't offend people! ”
The leading official looked at this group of people, they were not much better dressed than those refugees outside the city, and they didn't talk and behave like anything that could be connected to the Chenwang Mansion. However, there are still three poor relatives in the imperial court, so they really can't be careless.
Thinking so, his attitude was much better, but he still didn't let them go: "It's been a lot of chaos in the city recently, and our brothers are also routine, I hope you will forgive me." The third child, you go to the gatehouse of the Chenwang Mansion to confirm, the fifth son, you go back to the palace and ask the clerks in the yamen, can there be such a thing! ”
"Thank you, Uncle Ya, you are such a conscientious and responsible good official!" Song Ziran slapped him a little on the back. Rainbow farts are good, but don't be greedy!
The guards sent by the prefect's wife to relieve them of the siege, saw this, felt that they didn't need themselves anymore, so they retreated. The prefect's wife listened to the guard's reply and was surprised: "You say...... These two have something to do with Chenwangfu? These two houses were given to them by several young sons of the Chenwang Mansion? Where did these people come from? Can the sons of the Chenwang Mansion treat them differently? ”
"Mother, the little girl named Fuya, who offered to let the officials confirm, should not be wrong. No matter what they have to do with the Chenwang Mansion, we have not been slow to treat them. Didn't you invite them to come and sit in the house? If the other person's character can stand the test, they might as well form a good relationship and walk around each other. "Zhou Junhan is so transparent at a young age. Sure enough, you can't underestimate the ancients.
The two officials soon returned and confirmed the matter. The leading official collected his weapons, arched his hand at Zhao Changsheng and Song Ergui, and said, "How offended, I still look at Haihan." ”
Song Ergui smiled and waved his hand: "The poor master is serious, you are also responsible!" With such faithful officials as you, we, the people living in the city, can live in peace. The poor master has worked hard, delaying you for so long, this little meaning is not a tribute, the poor master took it to drink a cup of tea to moisten his throat......"
The leading official weighed the weight of the purse, and it was actually a silver ingot of five taels - it was really unseemly, and these people were really clumsy. I have to say that this family is a smart person, and in today's troubled times, not standing out is also a way to protect yourself.
The leading officials, thinking of their relationship with the Chenwang Mansion, resolutely pushed the silver back, and said: "It is our brother's duty to protect the people of Fucheng and protect the peace of Fucheng, and Brother Song does not have to do this. It's not too early, when you first arrive in Fucheng, you still have to clean up the yard, so I won't delay you. Let's get together again another day! ”
Seeing this, Song Ergui also took back his purse briskly, and said with a smile: "Okay!" Invite the messengers to drink another day! We'll see you later! ”
By the time the two families arrived in their yard, it was already dark......
