Chapter 253: Chickens and Eggs Fight Empty
Thinking like this, Qin Xiaoyong said again: "Oh yes, the head catcher of the county government is his henchman, and he has always been responsible for handing over to us, and he may leave some evidence." ”
Cao Zhifu also remembered the head catcher, he immediately asked people to find someone, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on Peng County's order, not to let him escape, once he found evidence, he would be arrested immediately.
But unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Cao's subordinates to hurriedly go back and forth, "My lord, it's not good, Peng County's order has run away!" ”
Governor Cao immediately took the case and said angrily: "Didn't you let you keep an eye on him? Why did you let him run? ”
The subordinate bowed his head and spoke.
It was the subordinates who were careless, and the Peng County Commander went back to his study in the name of taking the papers, and then closed the door, and the subordinates waited outside, but two quarters of an hour passed, and he had not come out, and there was no movement inside, and the subordinates realized that something was wrong, and came forward to knock on the door, but there was still no response inside. The subordinate directly raised his foot and kicked the door open, but there was no one in the study, and the subordinate found a secret passage after some search......"
Cao Zhifu had a layer of yin owl on his face, "Good Peng Dekang, he expected that he would have such a day, and he had already left a way out for himself!" ”
Peng Xianling has indeed left a way out for himself a long time ago, especially when the case of the mountain bandits in Lingyun Mountain has been mentioned again and again, he always has a feeling of not being able to live in peace, so he has arranged a retreat for himself again.
Unexpectedly, now, this retreat has finally come in handy.
Cao Zhifu secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, and immediately calmed down, and gave another order, "Arrest his wife and daughter!" ”
The man's head hung lower, "As early as this morning, his wife and daughter went out of the city, saying that they were going to the outside of the city to offer incense......"
Cao Zhifu's muscles twitched fiercely.
Incense? How could it be such a coincidence?
He must have seen that he had arrested Qin Xiaoyong and the others, and he had a ghost in his heart, and he was afraid of it, so he sent people away early in the morning.
Immediately afterward, another piece of bad news came.
That Xi Junwei escorted Peng County's wife and daughter out of the city early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet, but I'm afraid that he won't take the initiative to come back when he sees that the situation is not right, and he will fall into the net.
Cao Zhifu was so angry that the corners of his forehead jumped suddenly.
One by one, none of them are satisfactory.
The only thing that can be thought of on the bright side is that Peng Xianling fled directly like this, which can be regarded as admitting his crime in disguise.
As long as he is caught, there is no need to waste time interrogating him, and he will be directly arrested and imprisoned.
Since he fled by himself, there was no need for the Cao prefect to hide it anymore, and ordered all the officials of the county government to be arrested and interrogated on the spot, but none of the insiders and participants in this matter were spared.
At the same time, the crime of Peng County's order was announced to the world, and the whole city was wanted and arrested.
If anyone can provide the whereabouts of the Peng County Order, there will be a reward.
As soon as the wanted warrant came out, the entire Lin'an County suddenly fell into an uproar, without him, the content of the wanted warrant was too shocking.
The dignified county order turned out to be the culprit who colluded with the mountain bandits to cause trouble to the people, who would believe this?
But this is an announcement posted by the government, and the county magistrate himself has absconded in fear of crime, if this matter is not true, how can the county magistrate abscond in fear of crime?
The shock was followed by a flood of scolding.
While sending people to arrest the absconding Peng County Commander and his family, the Cao Governor purged the county officials and imprisoned and resettled those mountain bandits.
Because of the addition of this group of mountain bandits, the prison was suddenly overcrowded, and when Governor Cao heard the reply of his subordinates, he remembered another thing at this time, and immediately let Shen Yan and Sang Sang go.
The identities of these two people seem to be ordinary, but they are the ones who deliberately take care of them and must be preserved, and Cao Zhifu does not dare to slack off.
Shen Yan and Sang Sang met outside the cell, and the two looked at each other, and each saw the joy of rebirth in each other's eyes.
They knew that they were completely safe.
Shen Yan stepped forward and wanted to grab her hand, but was hurriedly avoided by Sang Sang.
"I sprinkled the medicine powder given by Ah Chou, you can't touch me, otherwise it will itch all over the body, and it will be very uncomfortable."
Shen Yan's heart suddenly rose with a sense of forbearance.
But on second thought, it at least shows that she is safe in prison and no one dares to provoke her.
As soon as he came out of the county office, he saw Ah Chou and Gu Yunzhi, who had been waiting there for a long time, and saw Shen Yan and Sang Sang coming together, and both of them smiled in unison.
When they arrived at the door of the house, Shen Yan and Sang Sang stepped over the brazier again, sprinkled "holy water" to ward off evil spirits, and this review Yunzhi took matters into his own hands and sprinkled them wildly, and there were words in his mouth, which was said to have been asked for Buddhist scriptures from where.
This time, Ah Chou didn't say anything cool, because she also deeply hoped that everyone could drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and the rest of their lives would be smooth and smooth, without difficulties and disasters.
After bathing and freshening up, the family sat neatly at the dinner table.
The only fly in the ointment is that this dish is not from Sangsang's hand, and the taste is slightly lacking.
But even then, it's very satisfying.
Gu Yunzhi couldn't wait to discuss the situation outside, "You all know it, that Peng County Commander turned out to be the one who colluded with the mountain bandits, oh, and your head catcher, called Xi or something, he is also the main participant in this matter!" When you were imprisoned for framing your senior brother, he also had a share! ”
Shen Yan's face showed a bit of contemplation.
He had heard about it from the jailers who had been changing shifts before he was in prison.
In fact, he had vaguely had some guesses about this matter before, but there was no evidence, and he couldn't be 100% sure.
Now, everything has been proven.
Psychologically, it was Xi Junwei who made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Because it was Xi Junwei who fell in love with him and helped him introduce him, which allowed him to be successfully transferred from the office of Anhe Town to the county government as a catcher, and during his time in the county government, Xi Junwei also took a lot of care of him.
Shen Yan regarded him as a completely trustworthy senior, but he didn't expect ......
The matter has come to this point, no matter how much sighing and sighing it is, it is in vain, since he chose to embark on this road in the first place, then now, he has to bear all these consequences.
Karma, that's it.
Gu Yunzhi said with a malicious face: "You say, what are the Shen family doing now?" What's the mood? ”
Although he has not clearly crossed the Ming Road, Shen Jun is almost the quasi-son-in-law of Peng County, even if Shen Jun destroys his hand, he can rely on this identity for the rest of his life without worrying, at most, he is just angry with some sons-in-law.
But now, Peng Xianling has fallen, their family has run away, Shen Jun put his right hand in vain, but in the end he didn't catch anything, but it was really a chicken and egg fight, and everything was empty.
