I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 474
"My lord, I was just passing through Liu County, and I have no grievances with the deceased Huang Baocai." Zhan Feiyu said crisply, with a calm and calm demeanor.

Sitting on the chair, County Magistrate Zhu did not speak, but half-closed his eyes as if he was deliberating whether Zhan Feiyu's words were true or not.

Wei Xiancheng put down the complaint in his hand, and the Huang family's complaint clearly stated that Huang Baocai, the eldest grandson of the Huang family, offended Zhan Feiyu by making rude remarks in the beauty makeup, which caused his death.

"My lord, my subordinates have already sent people to search the Changxing Inn." As soon as Cheng Xianwei who was standing by the side finished speaking, a few arresters came back in a hurry outside the courtroom.

"My subordinates pay respects to your lord." The leader was Captain Cao who had been guarding the door of the inn.

Detective Miao and the other two also saluted. Detective Miao held a yellow paper bag in his hand, stepped forward and put the yellow paper bag on the long table, "My lord, this was found in the kitchen of the Changxing Inn. .”

County magistrate Zhu looked at the yellow paper package with a corner burnt in front of him, and asked about the faint burnt smell, "Is this found in the stove?"

Not only did the yellow paper package show signs of being burnt, but it was also covered with grass clippings, which was obviously thrown into the stove to destroy the evidence.

Catcher Miao glanced worriedly at Zhan Feiyu who didn't say a word, and then replied: "This was found in the stove in the kitchen room. The inn clerk accidentally knocked over the copper pot, and the stove fell to the ground. The yellow paper package was not burned, and the subordinates opened the paper package and checked it, and found that it was the drug."

County magistrate Zhu put down the yellow paper bag in his hand, took the cloth towel handed over by the clerk and wiped his hands, "Send it to Jiao Yu for inspection."

As for the innkeeper and the clerk who came with Detective Cao and Detective Miao, County Magistrate Zhu slapped the gavel, and the clerk knelt down on the ground with a frightened plop. stand up.

"Reporting to my lord...Last night, the leader of Wang Baotou..." Although the man turned pale with fright, he explained the cause and effect clearly.

Previously, Catcher Wang led people into the inn late at night saying that he wanted to catch kidnappers, but in the end He Sheng broke his leg and threw him down from the second floor. , both legs were broken.

The guests staying in the inn were so scared that they all checked out early the next morning, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to admit that, so apart from Zhan Feiyu, there were no other guests in the inn. Warm used.

The clerk knelt on the ground, relieved his tense emotions, and said again: "The little one went to boil water in the stove, because the shopkeeper said that there were no customers, and the wages for the two days would be deducted, and the little one was reluctant to part with the money, so he was in a daze. Just knocked over the stove."

After listening to the man's statement, County Magistrate Zhu said, "Zhan Feiyu, do you want to defend yourself?"

"Returning to my lord, let alone Huang Baocai's death, I just want to ask Cheng County Captain, obviously yesterday evening I met two shooters in the alley, and in the end Captain Miao quickly put them in prison. The prisoner not only left the cell unharmed, but also brought his accomplices to the inn to take revenge."

Zhan Feiyu spoke word by word, with the corners of his mouth curled up in a sneering look, "Afterwards, the Yamen's arresters showed up, but they indiscriminately decided that my followers were stalkers, and even burned my guides. Is it the collusion of officials and bandits? Or is there no law in Liu County?"

Following Zhan Feiyu's questioning, Magistrate Zhu's face sank to the bottom.

Wei Xiancheng shouted angrily at the same time: "Shut up, my lord is the official of the imperial court, how can you allow your red tongue and white tongue to slander!"

Don't think this is saying that Wang Butou's few police officers colluded with Pai Huazi, but when it happened in Liu County, it was the dereliction of duty of County Magistrate Zhu.

"My lord, please give me an explanation." Zhan Feiyu stared directly at the ugly-looking Magistrate Zhu with clear eyes, and she wanted to see how Magistrate Zhu justified himself.

He was extremely displeased, but as an official of the imperial court, Magistrate Zhu would not get angry with a little girl like Zhan Feiyu, so he just said in a cold voice, "Hurry up Miao."

"Responding to my lord, my subordinates led people to patrol the streets yesterday evening..." Detective Miao quickly didn't dare to hide anything.

After taking the two Huazi into prison, Detective Miao quickly confessed a few words to the prison chief, thinking that he would report the matter to Captain Cheng when he was on duty the next day.

As a result, after hearing what his wife and mother had said the next morning, Police Officer Miao quickly found out that something had happened at the Changxing Inn, and hurried over without having breakfast.

Miao Kuai's words matched Zhan Feiyu's words. As for what happened in the inn that night, apart from the two parties, they could only ask other people who were present at the time.

Zhan Feiyu thought about it quickly. From the innkeeper, he knew that the guests of the inn left in the morning, so there should be no witnesses for this meeting.

At that time, there was another guy in the room who was woken up because he got up at night, but even if he was found out, he might not be telling the truth. Want to know.

"Lieutenant Cheng, why did the two kidnappers leave the cell?" The question was sharp, and Magistrate Zhu did not cover up the trusted Lieutenant Cheng.

But Zhan Feiyu could also see that although County Magistrate Zhu had an ugly face, he knew from his attitude towards County Captain Cheng that this was just a routine inquiry. County Magistrate Zhu did not believe that County Captain Cheng would collude with Pai Huazi.

"My lord, my subordinates only found out about this after the fact." Captain Cheng pleaded guilty on his knees, and continued: "It was Boss Wang who was on duty last night. He drank a lot at night and was already drunk when he was on duty... "

Zhan Feiyu raised his eyebrows, Cheng Xianwei wanted to put all the blame on Wang Tutou, who was still in the hospital because of a broken leg?

From Cheng Xianwei's narration, we can know that the drunk Wang Tutou was deceived by the two abductors Hong Sister-in-law and Lao Wu, thinking that Zhan Feiyu was his second girl, but he just didn't want to work at home and endure hardships, so he followed Huazi He left, and even said that his biological parents were kidnappers.

Wang Butou thought of the case of paihuazi abducting children that happened on the night of the Lantern Festival last year, so he went to the inn as soon as his mind became hot, and he also took He Nuanhesheng as paihuazi.

"The subordinates have already sent someone to issue the arrest document, and pasted up the portraits of several prisoners at the gate of the city." Cheng Xianwei knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty. This stupid thing was done by Chief Wang, but as a county However, Wei has an unshirkable responsibility, "My lord, when the subordinates sent people to rush to the hospital, several prisoners had already escaped, and only Mrs. Zhou was unable to escape in time because of her serious injuries."

"Bring Wang Tai and the others to the hall!" With a slap of the gavel, the anger on Zhu County Magistrate's face was obvious. After all, this stupid thing was done by Chief Wang, so it's not just that the county magistrate Shan Cheng was negligent, he, the county magistrate, was also responsible. .

Zhan Feiyu quickly glanced at Captain Cheng who was still kneeling in the courtroom pleading guilty, so fast that he had already posted the arrest documents for arresting Lao Wu's slapstick friends.
Wang Butou and the others all had broken legs, but they all knew themselves well. With the help of their companions, they entered the lobby and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

The newly connected leg was injured again, and cold sweat broke out on the faces of those who were in pain, but they still gritted their teeth and pleaded guilty.

"This subordinate deserves to die." Catcher Wang took the lead in pleading guilty, and said with pain: "Last year, this subordinate's nephew was almost abducted by Pai Huazi, and this subordinate was confused after drinking alcohol last night. Unfilial sent his own parents to the prison, but the three paihuazi lived in the Changxing Inn as followers, and the subordinates led people into the inn without even thinking about it to arrest them."

Looking at Wang Botou, whose face was distorted in pain, Magistrate Zhu's anger dissipated a bit. He also knew Wang Tai's nature, impulsive, irritable, reckless, and likes to drink. He missed things because of drinking several times. After all, Wang Tai was very skilled and made a lot of contributions in the case of arresting criminals in Liu County.

After Chief Wang pleaded guilty, the rest of the police also pleaded guilty one after another. In the final analysis, they misbelieved Pai Huazi's words and regarded He Sheng and the others as abductees, and they broke their legs as a result.

"Chengxian Lieutenant got up and answered." With Wang Butou and his confession, County Magistrate Zhu naturally would not let Cheng County Lieutenant continue to kneel, "What are the whereabouts of those kidnappers?"

"Those people used the excuse of not having enough money to see a doctor, and they only said that there was an old hunter in their village who was good at setting bones, so the prisoners were picked up by bullock carts before dawn." Cheng Xianwei said that he hated iron and steel. He glanced at Wang Baotou and his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground, "If you had woken up a little, how could these prisoners have escaped?"

"Subordinates should die!" Wang Butou and the others kowtowed again and confessed.

Magistrate Zhu snorted coldly, "You really deserve to die!"

First, they shouldn't have listened to Pai Huazi's words and went to the inn to arrest people; second, they shouldn't have let Lao Wu's abductors escape under their noses. Hanako colluded.
