high official

Chapter 17
　Two days in advance, Hu Buliu arranged for plainclothes police officers in various main roads, originally to prevent Mrs. Zhao from absconding, but who would have imagined that six strong men carrying burdens and walking in a hurry would bump into them head-on.

The fast catcher knew that these guys were going to run away, so he stepped forward to check, without asking a few words, the six people fled in a panic, the fast catcher was short of manpower, so he only caught these three.

Although Hu Butou is rough and bold, he is used to bluffing people in his job, and He Chang showed his feet in one fell swoop.

"What my master means is that the six of them left early, who knows what the three of them are doing when they come back." Yuanwai He made a slip of the tongue, and He Fu who was on the side quickly made up for it.As he spoke, he kept winking at the three guys.

Helplessly, the three of them had walnuts stuffed in their mouths, so they could only whine, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

"Since the suspect also confessed in this way." Catcher Hu pretended not to hear, and said to He Yuanwai: "Let's do a search, so that the member can be cleared."

"..." He Chang's face darkened, and he nodded resentfully for a long while.

"Don't disturb the family members, don't destroy the property!" Catcher Hu ordered a few words to his subordinates, then turned to He Chang and said, "Please also invite the female family members out of the house, lest the bastards offend the noble family members with their hands and feet."

"There are only women in my back house, no men!" He Chang said with a pale face.He had already recovered from the shock, and he was clearly being tricked by someone, but he thought that it was mostly to blackmail him: "Catcher Hu, keep a line of life, so we can meet again in the future! Why do I often call myself Sai Mengchang?" , everything is negotiable!"

"Fangzheng, Lao Hu is just trying to save face for you." Hu Buliu said with a sincere smile, "You have to do a thorough search to prove Fangzheng's innocence. If you search the front and not the back, then that rascal will have something to say. gone."

"Hey..." He Chang found that he was squeezed into the corner by a sentence, and could only be at his mercy.Glancing at Wang Xian who was already sitting on the chair, he wished he could eat him alive!
Wang Xian's head was wrapped into a spindle, and he grinned at him, so angry that He Chang almost lost his breath.

He Fu hurriedly went to the back house to inform that the waiting time was much longer this time. When the six wives and concubines and their own maidservants, some servants and women, and more than 20 female relatives gathered in the main hall, it was already half an hour.

The police officers got impatient for a long time ago, entered the room with a whoosh, and started a carpet search.

"Hey, don't break things in my house!"

"If something is missing, you will have to pay for it!"

"There is really no law, people like us dare to search!"

Yingying and Yanyan were chattering, and the front hall suddenly became a vegetable market...

.

He Yuanwai and all the men went to the back to stare, only Hu Butou and Wang Xian were left in the flower hall.

But Hu Butou was not idle, he stepped into the vegetable market, his falcon-like gaze swept across the women, but unexpectedly, a group of females scolded:
"What are you looking at, have you never seen a beautiful woman?"

"Where is the thief looking at?"

"Look at the thief's eyes!"

"Get out soon, or I will sue you for molesting a good family!"

Seeing them rushing towards them while scolding, Hu BuTou hurriedly ran away, laughing wildly behind him.

Back in the flower hall, Hu Butou looked at the two attendants, they were Tian Qi and Lin Qing'er in disguise, and the task was to identify people.

The two shook their heads at the same time, just now Hu Bu's head was under the violent wind and rain, which bought them enough time, but they didn't see Mrs. Zhao's figure, and they didn't even see anyone similar.

"Hmm..." Hu Buliu glanced at Wang Xian, who was sitting on the chair, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that Mrs. Zhao isn't here?"

Tian Qi and Lin Qing'er also became nervous. All their plans today were based on one assumption—that is, the Zhao family is here!

Wang Xian was also nervous with sweaty palms and dry mouth, but he was trying to calm himself down: "No, how dare she show her face? Where is she appointed to hide?" Seeing Hu Buliu curling his lips, he quickly explained: "Why? He often won't rest assured and hide her outside. Otherwise, he will always worry about whether someone will see her and whether she will reveal his secrets? And this guy is as lustful as his life, and he won't let that beautiful woman of the Zhao family go untouched .It would be troublesome to meet her outside, and if you come and go too many times, you will always show your feet."

Hu Buliu couldn't help nodding, he had interrogated the three pillars outside, and he knew that Yuanwai He seldom went out, let alone had no rules at all.At least from the perspective of safety, a meeting on the balcony is definitely not as good as a golden house!
"so what should I do now?"

"I heard that it is He Yuanwai's only son." Wang Xian looked between the flower hall and the main hall, a pink and cute little boy was catching grasshoppers with the company of his maid.

"I also have the same intention." Hu catcher nodded, and Wang Xian looked at each other, feeling a sense of sympathy for each other.

So the two of them decided together that Lao Hu would take the child back and beat and frightened him to force out the truth.But it is estimated that it will stab a hornet's nest, and it will be difficult to end later.

Frowning, Lin Qing'er volunteered, "I'll go!"

"Can you do it?" Hu Butou frowned, time is precious.

"Just watch." Lin Qing'er snorted and went out with her head held high.

The maid Qiuxiang was looking at the young master boredly, when she saw a young man with red lips, white teeth and picturesque features walking over.It was the first time she saw someone who could wear the arrester's clothes so handsomely, but he was too thin, so thin that it made people feel distressed...

But the young man didn't come for her, but squatted down to play with the young master, he was so caring... Qiuxiang became a nymphomaniac and flooded the scene.

Lin Qing'er and the eight-year-old baby got to know each other very quickly, and while they were catching grasshoppers, they chatted:

"What's your name?"

"Dabao..."

"It seems that your parents are very precious to you."

"Of course." The baby said proudly.

"How many mothers do you have?" Lin Qing'er asked in a low voice seeing that she was some distance away from the maid.

"Seven..." the baby said without hesitation: "Da Niang, Er Niang, Third Niang, Fourth Niang, Fifth Niang, Six Niang, Qiniang."

Lin Qing'er's heart tensed up immediately, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Why do I only look at six?"

"Qiniang is weird, she never shows up to outsiders." Wa Wa curled her lips and said, "Sanniang said that she is a mouse spirit, and she will drill holes whenever she sees strangers."

"Nonsense, how can people drill holes?" Lin Qing'er's heart was about to jump out of her throat.

"If you don't believe me, pull it down." The baby said angrily.

"Is there really a hole in the ground?"

"Yeah." The baby nodded innocently.

"where?"

"Liu Niang said it was under my father's bed, but I haven't seen it... Hey, what are you doing?"

"Go to the latrine."

"The hut is at the back..."

.

After a while, Hu Buliu came to the backyard, the search was coming to an end, and only a few human hairs were found...

Zhang Mazi came up to meet him, wiped his sweat and said, "Head, what should we do?"

Hu Buliu ignored him, but walked towards the north room, and saw He Yuanwai sneered and said: "Hu Butou, let's talk about it."

"Not busy." Hu Buliu stepped into the room, and saw that the interior was luxuriously furnished, the floor was paved with rugs, golden vases were inserted with plums, the tables and chairs were all made of sandalwood, and there were beautiful cushions and pillows on them, and the cups and plates on the table The bowls and cups are made of high-quality gold-painted porcelain, and even the chopsticks are made of ivory.

Hu Buliu stared at the wine and dishes on the table, "Who are you drinking with?"

"Just now with my wife."

"I don't know who it is?" Hu Buliu said, winking without showing any trace.

"Uh..." He Chang's heart skipped a beat.

"Fangzheng has such a bad memory?" Hu Buliu didn't give him a chance to think.

He Chang took a deep breath and said loudly on purpose: "My fifth lady!" He really hoped that He Fu and the others would be smarter and go out to make a confession.

As everyone knows, when Hu Buliu asked this question, he had already ordered people to guard the Moon Gate to prevent anyone from entering or leaving, and then asked Zhang Mazi to go to the front to testify.

While waiting for minutes, Hu Buliu greedily looked at the furnishings in the house, cursing inwardly, this rich man is living a fairy-like life.My daughter and I don't have a decent dowry when we get married...

Over there, Yuanwai He suffered a lot, lost his previous arrogance, and walked up to Catcher Hu and said, "Which one does Mr. Hu like, I'll send someone to send you home."

"I've all taken a fancy to it..." Hu Buliu blurted out, and laughed loudly after speaking: "My family is small, and I can't afford these precious goods."

"Where is there..." Member He wiped his sweat and said, "I was wrong, of course you have to buy a new one when you are old." He said in a low voice: "1000 taels of silver, catch Hu and let me go." At the beginning of the year, the value of treasure banknotes depreciated severely. The more the imperial court banned the use of gold and silver for trading, the more valuable gold and silver became.

In the first year of Hu Bubu's total income, he could probably earn 100 taels of silver, which is frighteningly high.Now as long as I promise He Chang, I can save ten years of struggle!
Hu Buliu swallowed the word "good" abruptly, no matter how much money he had, he had to spend his life. He was not afraid of being blamed by the county magistrate, but he was afraid of Wang Xingye who was drying salt in Shaoxing.Father Wang has been a clerk in the punishment room for many years, and he knows all the corrupt and corrupt things he has done, which is enough to make him die eight times!
After thinking about it, as long as He Chang is arrested, how much money can't be squeezed out?And these belongings, why rush for a while.Hu Butou made up his mind and fell silent.

"I'll add five more gold bars!" He Yuanwai gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't Master Hu offer some more? Even if I lose everything, I'll give it to you!"

Hu Buliu glanced at him, thinking that this is really a character, but it was too late to say anything, so he still kept silent.

"Master Hu, don't push me into a hurry!" He Changchang begged to be useless, showing a ferocious face and said: "When the time comes, even your county magistrate will be in bad luck!"

"Then wait for the fair trick." Hu Buliu stood up, and he saw Zhang Mazi came back.

"It's messed up, and they all said it wasn't me. I asked them to think about it, and finally unified their confession, saying it was Liu Niang." Zhang Mazi laughed loudly, "Justice, what do you think?"

He Chang said indifferently: "I have an affair with the maid, they don't know!"

"Which servant girl?" Hu Buliu said coldly seeing him being so difficult.

"Don't ask, she doesn't dare to admit it, or she will be beaten to death by my wife." He Chang had already thought up his words.

"Hmph, I think it's Jinwu Zangjiao!" Hu Buliu tore his face completely, slapped the table heavily and said, "Tear me down his bed!"
-
　When I saw it in the morning, my heart was cold and cold, and I fell out of the double list. I already said that it was the third watch today, why is it so miserable?Seek support, seek comfort, and seek to be on the list!Otherwise, I will jump off the building to show you!
