Chapter 190: Are You Guilty?
But I don't want to, but the children's kindness has caused them a lot of trouble.
Who would have thought that this old man was also related to the bandits, and he also recognized the five horses.
So, he quietly and secretly looked at Yue Fuli and his party. After looking at it, he found a problem again. He didn't expect that this group of people turned out to be exiles.
The exiled prisoners could still ride in carriages, ride horses, and even pull more than a dozen carts of goods. That's not right.
Therefore, when it was time to go to the next town, the old man got out of the carriage under the pretext that he had arrived home, and then found someone to report to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate couldn't find the murderer who killed those hidden piles, so it was difficult to explain to the bandits, so the old man sent a letter.
This news can be described as timely rain for the county master who is worried.
Therefore, without saying a word, he directly sent an official messenger and chased after Yue Fuli and his party.
When the officials of the county government caught up with Yue Fuli and his party, it was exactly noon, and they stopped to prepare to rest and have lunch by the way.
"Official, it's them!" The old man pointed to the moon rune and his party, his face a little proud. He made this report, but he had the money to take it.
The county magistrate said that he had made a meritorious report, and when he caught them, he would give him a reward of fifty taels of silver.
Although he has some relationship with bandits, he is not really a bandit, so he does not have much money on him. The fifty taels promised by the county magistrate were also a huge amount of money for him.
Yue Fuli and the others were a little surprised when they saw the official errand, but when they didn't know why they came, they saw the old man who stood up.
After listening to the old man's words, the children of the Yue family darkened their faces one by one, and then looked at Yue Fuli with a look of self-blame, afraid that she would be angry.
Yue Fuli glanced at her younger siblings, but didn't say anything. Sometimes, you have to let them experience the dangers of the world for themselves in order to grow.
This is also the reason why she did not stop them when they were pitiful to the old man.
At that time, although she felt that there was something wrong with the old man, she did not investigate it deeply. But he didn't expect that the old man would come to arrest them with an official errand.
Hu Wei, who was also an official messenger, took the initiative to negotiate, showed his identity certificate, and asked, "I am an official messenger escorting prisoners in the capital, I don't know why you came?" Is there anything we can do to help? ”
"You're in charge of escorting prisoners?" The head catcher of the county government glanced at Hu Wei coldly, and then said, "Are you guilty?" ”
"Brother Head Catcher, why did you say that?" Hu Wei frowned and looked back at the other party. At this time, he also understood that the other party was not good.
"Why?" The head catcher sneered, pointed to the moon rune and his party, and said, "Are they prisoners? But look at them now, where do they still look like prisoners? It's a carriage again, and it's a horse's. Look at them all with red faces, and they are wearing good clothes, this should be what a prisoner should look like? ”
"You're clearly working against the court, aren't you guilty?"
When Hu Wei heard this, he no longer defended himself. He knew that the other party was here to find fault, and no matter how much he explained, it would be useless.
Therefore, his face sank, and he looked coldly at the headcatcher, and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”
"What to do, of course, is to take you to the guilt." The head catcher snorted coldly, as soon as these people are caught, not only can he and the county master explain to the bandits, but the county master may be promoted.
When the time comes, he can also follow the chicken dog to heaven. (End of chapter)
