Chapter 356 Opening the Port (22)
The county magistrate issued a tick, which was equivalent to a summons.

However, Deng Hu disappeared a few days ago, so when the arrester went out to his house and came back to deal with business, it was the last procedure: the county magistrate tried in absentia according to the procedure, and then issued the sea arrest document.In this way, the case has entered the stage of recourse, when Deng Hu will be brought to justice, and when will it be tried again.

Everyone is familiar with this process, because in the past, there were too many cases without a head. If the criminals were not caught, everything would be empty in the end.

Fortunately, many forces have intervened in the case of Mr. Xie, so the time for this matter is still to come: the victims will pay funds and private information channels to mobilize officials to continue hunting Deng Hu.

If there are resources invested, the case will always maintain a high-pressure situation, and the officials will also mobilize informants from inside and outside the city to track down Deng Hu, so this is a grind.

There are also many cases in which the prosecution paid extra resources to mobilize the police in later generations, and it is reasonable.Because the resources of the public security are limited, it is impossible to leave other cases alone and keep paying for a certain case.

For example, chasing and fleeing.Many times there is news that a certain fugitive is in a certain province. At this time, if the prosecution can spend some money, the public security will send a special person to investigate. If it is not empty, the fugitive will be brought back.

Situations like this kind of helplessness are actually very common, because a county public security bureau cannot afford such a large amount of funds.So if you don't pay, you can only wait for the fugitive to be arrested in other places in the future.

In short, the 17th century was the same. If you want to enjoy more public resources, you must have money and power behind them.

When the county magistrate issued the "ticket" with Cao Butou's name and surname specially used for summons, Cao Butou in a black robe hurried forward, shouted his orders, took the ticket and left.

Back in the arresting room, Cao Butou began to order troops and generals.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Shanghai county government had 20 arresters and 20 fast hands, and the adjacent Huating County was governed by a prefecture, so the above-mentioned official staff was doubled.Changing to Jiading, since it is an old county, the establishment is the same as that of Huating, both of which are 40 arresters.

Since today is the day of reporting, all the arresters and fast hands of the fast class are on duty, ready to respond at any time.

Cao catcher is one of the two catchers of Kuaiban, so his immediate subordinates are 20 catchers and 20 fast hands.However, for suspects like Deng Hu who would definitely not be at home, Catcher Cao didn't make much fanfare.

The outcome of the matter was as everyone expected: Deng Hu was not at home.

Cao Butou quickly returned to the county government office.Generally speaking, if the prisoner is willing to pay money, then the head arrester can release the prisoner privately. This is called "buy and release money".However, Catcher Cao definitely didn't have the guts to lie in this case, so he honestly went back and told the county magistrate: Deng Hu was really missing.

The magistrate was naturally furious when he heard the words, so the trial in absentia officially began.Although the process this time is similar to the previous investigation and evidence collection, the legal significance is different.

Finally, after the county magistrate finished reading the file, cross-examined the witnesses, and checked the evidence, he finally made the final verdict: Deng Hu was guilty.

From this moment on, Deng Hu officially changed from a suspect to a criminal.And some people hiding behind the scenes finally waited for this moment.

After becoming a criminal, it is not as simple as issuing a "ticket".The first thing the county magistrate issued was the sea arrest document (National Wanted Order).

Next, the county magistrate issued a "arrest ticket" for criminals to Cao, and then set a "ratio limit".

Ratio means arrest within a time limit. Generally speaking, there is a "ratio" every five days. If the case is not solved within the time limit, Cao catcher will be punished.Well, usually ten boards are played, and only one side of the body is hit—save one side for next time.

Therefore, it is not so easy to arrest the head. In the case of a major homicide case, it will be shortened to a dozen per three days. In today's case, the time limit given by Lai Xianzun is three days.

After Cao Butou stepped forward again to receive the "arrest ticket", he went to the arresting room to enlist soldiers.

At the same time, among the crowd watching the excitement outside the lobby, a man in green robe turned around and left the crowd, heading straight out of the city.Not long after, Deng Hu, who was hiding in a hidden courtyard outside the west gate of the city, knew the content of the trial.

After listening to the report, Deng Hu stretched out his hand to pick up the tea bowl, and said to the few servants sitting in the hall with a smile: "Forget it, let this generation be rampant for a while, we men will rest outside the city for a few days."

Lowering his head and blowing away the froth, Deng Hu took a shallow sip of tea.When he raised his head again, his face was already full of gloom.

At this moment, Deng Hu was sitting in the hall with a big thorn.While looking at the sunshine in the courtyard outside the door, he murmured, "What a bear, you actually forced your Lord Deng to this point. Don't wait for the day when grandpa returns to the city. I will kill you." The whole family!"

At the same time Deng Hu set the flag, he suddenly saw two objects thrown from outside the wall.Flying in were two short sticks emitting blue smoke, a bit like two kicks, rolling in the yard, constantly emitting smoke.

"Which family's naughty boy is it?" Deng Hu's first thought was Er Tijiao.However, the next moment he stood up abruptly from his chair: "No, where's the secret whistle outside the courtyard?"

It is said that after Catcher Cao got the order for the second time, he went to the arresting room to order soldiers and generals.

This time it suddenly became different: Lao Cao ordered all 40 arrests under his command, and there was not one left.

If this group of people were to act together, there would be a lot of movement: each arrester would have at least two deputy guards by his side, and there would be a large group of white guards on the periphery of the team, and the small two hundred people left the county office in such a mighty way, heading straight for the west city. door away.

Cao Butou, who was walking at the end of the team, had a serious face at the moment, with an Alexander and a preoccupied look all over his body.When the team arrived at the west city gate, Catcher Cao finally couldn't hold back his anxiety. He turned to the people beside him and said, "Little brother, I'm responsible for such a big fight. Can you count the news?"

Following behind Cao Tun's head was a fat, unremarkable young man dressed in white uniform.After hearing Cao Butou's question, the young man replied with a smile: "It's just a trip, and Deng Hu can be easily caught and killed. Master Cao, don't you have any responsibility for that?"

"Why didn't you take me out of the city?" Cao Butou gave the young man an angry look, "I know your master has great powers, but Deng Hu's murderers are not easy to deal with!"

"Master Cao, don't worry, then Deng Hu is already a dead dog, and I'll just wait for you Laosuo to claim credit and receive the reward."

"That's thanks to your master."

"Deng Hu's matter, Cao Butou can take all the credit, my master doesn't want others to know."

"Oh, in that case, Mr. Cao would like to thank your master for taking care of him."

"You're welcome, my master loves to make good friends, and there will always be troubles until the day of Master Cao."

"Good to say, good to say"

After the captain of the criminal police, Cao Butou, made a deal with someone, he urged his subordinates to speed up their pace.The large army went out of the west gate, and based on the information provided by the young man, they found a remote house outside the Guanxiang not long after.

At the first sight of this house, everyone can feel that there is a problem: the gate of the house is locked from the outside, and smoke can be seen from the cracks in the door and the top of the wall from time to time, as if the house has been drained of water.

"Master Cao, there are people here!" The next moment, a few white servants dragged a dead man out of the stinky ditch outside.

"It's Fat Toutuo Hu Qi, Deng Hu's trusted thug!" Soon someone recognized the identity of the deceased.

Catcher Cao didn't hesitate at this moment, he waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Wrap up the house, smash the door, let me rush!"

Then he shouted again: "Oh yes, cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth!"

Not long after, coughing and excited shouts came from the house whose door was smashed open: "Deng Hu has been caught!"

Catcher Cao, who was standing outside the door waiting for the news, laughed loudly, then he turned around and cupped his hands at the young man: "Your lord did such a good thing but didn't want to leave a name, this will make Cao suffer; I don't know Is your little brother Gao’s last name? How close will we be in the future!”

"Don't dare, my surname is Lei, and the single name has the word 'Feng'."

When Deng Hu and a group of cronies were arrested in the county government, to be honest, everyone was shocked.Lai County Magistrate, who was trying other cases, even suspended the matter at hand after hearing the news, and ordered someone to verify Deng Hu's identity in an extremely rude way—he was afraid that Catcher Cao was eager to claim credit, so he got him a fake one.

After hearing the news, the bitter masters who had already returned home hurriedly flocked in, and a large number of melon-eating people surrounded the county government hall.

The next step is the trial link that the masses love to hear.

Deng Hu, whose eyes were red, swollen and tearful, unable to see, and coughing non-stop, was dragged into the lobby.This guy was locked in the house and smoked for no less than half an hour, and now he can't even walk.

"Who is in the hall?"

"Then Xie Yuanwai was killed by you?"

"There are blood characters, Deng Hu, do you still want to deny it?"

"How can you frame it? Could it be possible that the corpses of your cronies flew to Xie's house?"

When Deng Hu, who was frightened and angry, was escorted to the lobby, he was still blind and obviously did not recover from the devastation of the tear gas, so his answer was obviously full of flaws and seemed illogical.

Deng Hu's performance in court undoubtedly gave the onlookers the impression that he tried his best to deny it.At the same time, his incoherent behavior completely angered the judge: "It's nonsense! Who is this Xiongdao from? Hmph, wait a minute, I'm trying to drag others to procrastinate. "

When Lai County Lord heard the word "Xiong Dao", he became more and more annoyed—he was the one who handled Deng Hu's family of thieves copied by Xiong Dao's people before, so he thought Deng Hu was transferring line of sight.

After the sound of "snap", Lai Xianzun put down the gavel in his hand, picked up a lottery and threw it down the hall: "The words are unreasonable, and the excuses are cunning, hum, if I don't want to punish you, my lord, you will wait." I don’t want to make a confession. Come here, serve me with a stick!”

In the next scene, the classic scene in the TV series appeared: three evil officials stood with a pincer in the shape of a finished font.

"Mola, Mora, the villain is willing to recruit, willing to recruit, Xie Yuanwai was killed by the villain!"

Boss Hei's viciousness and cruelty were directed at ordinary people, and when he was really punished, Deng Hu recruited a good man without using three sticks.
