Chapter 75 Hu Zhongde's Tragic Ending (4)
"Master Shi, go and have a look. If you lose any valuables, send someone to search for them in Yuxiang County, and don't let the thieves get away!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Shi, go and have a look!" Everyone outside the door urged Shi Wen to leave anxiously.

Shi Wen also looked anxious, "Come on, follow me to have a look, and wait for a while again, I will come as soon as I go!"

Shi Wen said hello to Hu Zhongde and walked away. At the moment when he walked into the backyard garden, Shi Wen smiled and was satisfied.

Seeing Shi Wen leave, Hu Zhongde didn't get up from the chair, turned his head and asked the servant who was holding the tea to pour him a cup of tea, and drank it down.

Unexpectedly, not a moment after drinking the tea, Hu Zhongde began to feel uncomfortable in his stomach, and he couldn't wait to go to the latrine. Letting you lose half of your life, you dare to play Miss Lin's idea, and you don't even look at your own virtue!
"Quick, quick, help me to the latrine, quick!" Hu Zhongde choked on the arms of the guards around him and shouted.

The guard was in pain and realized, "Ah?! Oh! Oh!" The guard helped Hu Zhongde and walked out of the lobby. He was about to enter the backyard when he remembered where the county government's hut was, and turned his head to ask the servant in the lobby. .

"Uh, brother yamen servant, where is the hut of the county yamen?" The guard supported Hu Zhongde with some difficulty, and he was panting for words.

"Turn right when you go out, just go straight!" the yamen servant said with a suppressed smile, blushing.

"Pfft!" Someone outside the lobby finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and then everyone lowered their heads and snickered. Everyone was very happy to think of Hu Zhongde's wrinkled chrysanthemum face and cold sweat on his forehead. gloat.

Later, someone couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed out loud, and everyone inside and outside the hall laughed, including the guards brought by Hu Zhongde.

When everyone was laughing together, Hu Zhongde was squatting in the latrine in pain, solving physical problems with a painful face.

In the backyard of Shi's house, Shi Wenzheng was standing in the study, asking Shi Yu, "Is everything arranged?"

"Father, don't worry, everything has been arranged. After a while, when Hu Zhongde comes out of the hut, the hidden guards will start."

"Well, we must find this cancer in Yuxiang County and put him in prison, and punish him for a felony!" Shi Wen clenched his fists and said angrily.

"Father, don't worry, this time Qianshao's master's plan is flawless, and even the witnesses are looking for strange things. Now, even Hu Zhongde can't escape!" Shi Yu said angrily and furiously.

After a while, a yamen servant came to the study and greeted Shi Wen, "My lord, everything is fine, let's arrest him!"

"Hey! Who the hell made this old man's tea? When I get back to the mansion, I will tear his skin off!" Hu Zhongde has gone back and forth to the hut four or five times, and every time he returns to the county government office. On the way to the lobby, I turned back again, and now my legs and feet are so soft, let alone how uncomfortable my body is...

What he doesn't know is that his tragic lesson has just begun!
Shi Wen took a few of the best yamen servants in the county yamen, and pressed a guard who came to the county yamen with Hu Zhongde to the lobby. He disappeared without a trace in an instant. At this time, being escorted to the lobby by Shi Wen, everyone couldn't help being suspicious.

"Hey, isn't that the person who came to the county government with Hu Yuanwai? He seems to be Hu Yuanwai's capable man. I used to see him going in and out with Hu Yuanwai. Why is Master Shi escorting him here now?! "

"Hey, it seems to be. I have seen it before. It seems to be called Hu Er, and he is a distant nephew of Hu Yuanwai's family! This person is the most hateful. I heard that most of the concubines that Hu Yuanwai doesn't like are rewarded to him. I don't know how many daughters of good families have been harmed by him!"

"Could he be the thief who went to Mr. Shi's study to steal?!"

"Maybe, let's see what Master Shi said first..."

When Shi Wen came to the lobby, he saw the people outside the door talking about Hu Er, with a smile on his lips, he tidied up his clothes and hats, and Shi Wen walked into the official court where cases were usually tried.

The lobby of the Yuxiang County Government Office has a well-structured layout, facing south from the north, with a plaque hanging directly above it, and a picture of Shangshui facing the sun on the screen in the middle. ", which means to tell the people that the county magistrate handles cases fairly and honestly.

The place about one foot above the ground in front of the screen is called "Taiwan", and the space surrounded by four pillars on the platform is called "Official Pavilion". Gavel and other promotional supplies.There is a wooden frame next to the case, on which are placed official seals and letters of appointment.There are 36 pictures of cranes facing the sun on the roof of the official pavilion, which symbolizes the unity of imperial power and the unity of the four seas.

But at this time, the shelf next to the case was empty, and Shi Wen and the master were not seen holding the official seal in the hall!

"Hey, look, Mr. Shi is going to try the case!"

"It seems to be?!"

After Shi Wen sat down, he slapped the gavel, and everyone in the hall held their breath and concentrated, not talking too much. Many guards in the hall who came with the guards looked at Shi Wen with puzzled faces, and they didn't know what to do. reaction.

The yamen guard escorted Hu Er to kneel in front of the hall, Hu Er was still struggling, looking at Shi Wen fiercely.

"Who is kneeling under the hall? What crime did you commit?"

"Returning to my lord, the person kneeling in the hall is Hu Er, an attendant of member Hu's family. What he committed was to steal from the study of the county magistrate. !"

"Hiss!" Many people outside the hall shouted in surprise.

"Stealing the official seal and letter of appointment of the magistrate?! This is really courageous. If the official seal is lost, the entire county government in Yuxiang County will be severely punished by the magistrate!"

"That's right! This Hu Er is really brave, I'm afraid it's because of the support of Hu Yuanwai!"

"What?! I think it's probably Hu Yuanwai's instigation!"

"Hu Er, my county clerk said that you stole my official seal and letter of appointment. What is your excuse? I don't know where you hide my official seal and letter of appointment now?!"

"I know, I know, Big Beard gave the treasure to the old man! I heard it from Big Beard at the bun shop on the street this morning." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy jumped up happily from the door of the lobby, loudly Said, just said the words are a bit strange.

"The stupid son of Aunt Liu's family on the East Street! Why is he here?!" Someone outside the door recognized the boy who spoke.

"Then Mrs. Liu works as a woman who burns fire in Shi's mansion! His son often comes here. Today, he probably saw that there are so many people here, thinking that there is something interesting! I just don't know what he said. mean?"
