Chapter 190: Lao Tzu is an official
The shopkeeper soon came to his senses and made a face at the guy on the side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The guy hurriedly took out a few silver ingots from the counter and held them in front of him.
The shopkeeper took the silver, respectfully stuffed it into the fat catcher's hand, and said with a smile: "The official has worked hard all the way, and this little meaning should be regarded as drinking wine for the brothers to warm up their bodies!
The fat catcher weighed the weight of the silver ingot, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Well, since the shopkeeper said so, then I am relieved." We are all here to ensure the safety of one party, and strict requirements are necessary!"
The shopkeeper nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, thanks to the hard work of the official!"
Su Fan was stunned and sighed: "So that's the case!
Chen Ao couldn't help laughing, and said secretly, he is just a small official, and he can only knock on such a bamboo pole, like me, he can really make money! If it weren't for his mount and baggage being snatched away by Duan Yi's father and son, he would be a real big money!
Of course, Chen Ao was very disdainful of what the fat head catcher did. But after all, he has been in this era for a long time, and he will no longer be impulsive to the point of stepping forward to make trouble. In particular, he is still writing the "Rules of Passage", one of which is that when you see the phenomenon of injustice, don't be busy fighting injustice, and act chivalrous and righteous! Chen Ao has a deep understanding of this.
What really interests Chen Ao is that the relationship between the officials here and the martial arts people is like a cat and a mouse. It is very different from Liang Cheng, where he once served. Chen Ao couldn't help but feel his eyebrows raised, and even his figure was a little taller. I thought to myself, this metropolis in the south of the Yangtze River is better than the poor countryside of Liangcheng, which is far away from the emperor with high mountains, at least a person like Lao Tzu who doesn't know martial arts will no longer have to suffer from the idleness of those reckless men in the rivers and lakes, and can be an official in a dignified manner!
Just thinking about it, I heard the fat catcher ask again: "I heard that Li Zheng came to report the case, saying that there was a murder case here, but is there such a thing?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he suddenly realized that these officials were here because of this. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led the fat catcher to the room where the accident occurred.
Fat Catcher saw a few people standing in the room at a glance, his face showed displeasure, and he said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, you don't know the scene of human life, can't there be idle people waiting to stay? If you destroy the evidence, what should you be guilty of?"
The shopkeeper is submissive, and his face is bitter. Su Zhuo took a step forward and arched his hand: "Lord Catcher, the next few people are just out of kindness to assist in the investigation of the corpse, and they have not destroyed the evidence at the scene, so don't worry, my lord!"
Seeing Su Zhuo's appearance as a gentleman, the fat catcher was neither humble nor arrogant, unlike the group of people outside who cowered, and immediately cheered up, fearing that Su Zhuo was a certain official in micro-service. He asked politely: "I am the head of Haixian County, please ask Your Excellency to respect your name!"
Su Zhuo couldn't reveal his name, and he didn't want to change his name, so he had to say: "It's just a cheap name, why worry about it." It's just a cloth cloth in the next place, I've read books for a few years, and I've traveled here, so when I encounter this incident, I naturally have to take care of it!"
When Ping Sifang heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly, thinking, it's just a cloth cloth, where did it come from such a big posture!
He immediately put away his caution, and a high-spirited expression appeared on his face again, and he snorted coldly and said, "Who gave you the power to inspect the corpse at will?"
As he spoke, he lifted the sheets covering the body. The dissected corpse suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Hua Niansu and Long Qingping screamed, hurriedly ran out of the room, retching. Even people like Wei Xiu, who are accustomed to seeing wind and rain, can't help but turn pale and sweat their palms when they see such a disgusting corpse.
Ping Sifang was startled, his legs were weak, and he almost fell down. He yelled angrily, "This ...... You did this? This is called no destruction of evidence! You ...... You bold fanatic......"
He trembled, waved his hand, and yelled at his subordinates standing at the door: "Still stunned, tie up these suspects for me!"
Su Zhuo's brows furrowed. Su Fan said loudly: "We are inspecting the corpse, why do you say that we are suspects!"
When Ping Sifang saw that a child dared to challenge his authority, he couldn't help but be furious and shouted: "It's the other way around! You made the corpse look like this, obviously trying to destroy the evidence." Even if you are not a murderer, you must be a colleague of the murderer. Take them back and torture them until they confess!"
The gang of fierce gods couldn't help but say, holding the chains and coming to the lock. Things got to this point, and Chen Ao knew it was time to appear on his own. Although he was unwilling to reveal his identity in front of Su Zhuo and others, he couldn't help it now. If this foolish head catcher is allowed to mess around and let the real culprit go unpunished, I don't know how many people will suffer. Not to mention when he will be able to seek revenge on Duan Yi's father and son.
He straightened his collar and stepped forward and said, "Flat head, don't be rude!"
Ping Sifang was stunned, glanced at Chen Ao, and shouted: "What are you, dare to talk to me like this!"
Chen Ao was also a little angry, and said: "Confused! I am Chen Ao, the new county magistrate of Haixian County, and I am your immediate boss. When you see this official, it's just a matter of not saluting, and you dare to shout, what kind of system!"
Chen Ao has been exercising in Liangcheng for so long, and he is very familiar with playing official positions. When Ping Sifang heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought, I did hear that there was a new county magistrate some time ago, and he was going to take office in the next two days, could it be him?
Thinking of this, Ping Sifang's attitude became respectful again, and he asked cautiously: "You are the county order, can you let me see the official documents?"
Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, the official certificate and the holy decree are all in the baggage, and they are in Duan Yi's hands at this moment, where can I find them for him?
He had to say, "This...... I didn't bring it with me......"
Ping Sifang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, the previous fright was swept away, and he glared at Chen Ao and said: "Didn't you bring it with you?" Hmph, I think you are a fake official, and you are guilty of a great crime!
Chen Ao was so angry that his lips trembled, but he was helpless. In this day and age, there are no official documents and no one will recognize you at all.
Wei Xiu suddenly raised his hand, and he was holding a gold leaf between his fingertips. She said lightly: "Ping Zhutou, we are all ordinary people, we don't know the rules of the yamen to handle cases, we wanted to help, but we caused trouble for adults." This is an apology to the adults!"
Ping Sifang and the others' eyes were immediately attracted by the gold leaf in her hand, their eyes lit up, and a greedy smile appeared on their faces.
In this era, silver was mostly used as the currency in circulation, and very few people could own gold. Not to mention that like Wei Xiu, he casually took out a piece of gold leaf to bribe a small head catcher. Even Chen Ao was a little dumbfounded.
Wei Xiu shook the gold leaf in front of Ping Sifang, and Ping Sifang hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, and grinned: "It's easy to say...... I know you're trying to help...... Just now...... It's just a momentary moment...... Haha......"
