Chapter 76 Hu Zhongde's Tragic Ending (5)
"Who is talking in the hall?"

"Master Hui is the silly son of Aunt Liu's family, he seems to know Hu Er!"

"Oh, call him to the hall for questioning!" Seeing Aunt Liu's son appearing, Shi Wen gradually became more emotional.

"Liu Mutou, come here, I have something to ask you!" The yamen servant called Aunt Liu's son in a soft voice.

When Liu Mutou heard the servant's call, he was very happy to see that he smiled and didn't call himself a fool, and jumped into the lobby while walking.

"Liu Mutou, let me ask you, is the bearded man you are talking about kneeling on the ground?" The yamen servant pointed to Hu Er and asked Liu Mutou.

Liu Mutou nodded happily, "It's him, it's him, with a big beard, it's so fun!"

"Then what do you mean by baby and grandpa?!" The yamen servant guided Liu Mutou.

Liu Mutou was a little confused, "Baby is just a baby, grandpa? He was sitting on that chair just now, but later his stomach hurt, and he said he was going to the latrine!" Liu Mutou scratched his head and looked around in the lobby, surprised Pointing to the chair made by Hu Zhongde, he said.

"Um, can you repeat what you heard at the bun shop this morning?"

"Ah, there are so many!" Liu Mutou grabbed his hair, his eyes kept rolling: "I heard the old man said that if you want to suffer, you have to be careful. By the way, there are also stealing treasures, and I will leave them to myself later." !"

After hearing what Liu Mutou said, the yamen servant and Shi Wen looked at each other, Shi Wen nodded, and the yamen servant took out two pennies from his pocket and handed it to Liu Mutou, saying: "Okay, thank you, these two pennies are for you to buy one." Eat the buns!"

When Liu Mutou received the money, he heard that he could buy steamed stuffed buns, so he grabbed the money and ran out of the lobby.

"I don't know where Member Hu went, you two go find it." Shi Wen ordered with a serious face.

When the two yamen servants arrived in the backyard, they saw that Hu Zhongde was about to be paralyzed in the hut, and they both covered their mouths and sniggered. They didn't see the guard who was helping Mr. Hu to the hut, so they exchanged glances and nodded at each other.

"Mr. Hu, are you in there? My lord calls you up for questioning!"

Hu Zhongde already had half his life left, and his mind was a little dull. He didn't hear the tone and meaning of the yamen servant clearly. He only knew that Shi Wen had something to say to him. the door of the hut.

The two yamen servants were about to step forward and escort Hu Zhongde directly to the lobby, but they were smothered by the stench of Hu Zhongde's body. Hu Zhongde raised his head, but he couldn't find the guards. Hu Zhongde couldn't hold on anymore, and sat down on the ground, collapsed like a dead pig.

The two yamen servants waved the odor in the air with their clothes, pinched their noses with one hand, and dragged Hu Zhongde up with the other hand, and put him on the lobby.

Hu Zhongde's head was in a daze, his body was limp, and his consciousness could no longer keep up, so he had to be pushed to the ground by the yamen servants. Hu's servants and guards rushed forward to help their master, but they were also blown away by the stench. straight back.

At this time, a yamen servant ran in from outside the lobby and said loudly to everyone in the hall: "My lord, I found the thing. It was in the dark compartment of the study of Member Hu's house. I also caught the guard who sent the things back to Hu's house. The two A brother is here!"

When the people watching at the door heard this, they looked behind them in unison, and saw two yamen servants escorting the guard who had helped Hu Zhongde to the latrine, walking towards the county yamen.

Everyone suddenly realized that Mr. Shi's official seal and letter of appointment were really stolen by members of Hu Yuanwai's family servants!
"Your Excellency, I am wronged! I just listened to Hu Yuanwai and put the things back. I did not steal the things. Hu Er stole the things. Originally, before coming to the county government, Hu Yuanwai told Hu Er that he brought a lot of people. The yamen servants will definitely gather in the hall when they see it..." As soon as the guards were escorted into the hall, they knelt on the ground and explained clearly the matter of Hu Yuanwai and Hu Er's collusion and theft.

"...Taking advantage of talking with the lord, there are few people in the backyard of the house, let Hu Er take the opportunity to sneak into the study of the lord, and steal the official seal and letter of appointment of the lord, unless the lord is willing to marry Miss Lin to member Hu as a concubine, Otherwise, destroy the things, let the adults go around without eating, and wait for the severe punishment from the magistrate and the emperor!"

"I beg you to forgive the little one, the villain is just running errands and didn't participate in it?!" The guard cried bitterly.

Hu Zhongde was so dizzy that he couldn't hear what the crowd was saying, and the other guards were also in a daze, obviously not knowing what was going on, Hu Er and the guards were kneeling on the ground, looking at Hu Zhongde, Thinking of Hu Zhongde saving himself, Hu Zhongde lived up to everyone's expectations and stood up, but in the end he ran to the hut in the backyard of the county government again.

Seeing that the performance was almost done, Shi Wen exchanged a meaningful look with the master, and the master began to take notes.

"Today's matter, I have made a decision. Now that the official seal has been recovered, the principal criminal and the accomplices have been arrested one after another. The evidence is solid. Hu Zhongde, Hu Er, and the guards and servants of the Hu family are now put in prison. Give the above case to the prefect and convict him again! Retire!" Shi Wen made an impassioned statement, closed the case and resigned.

The yamen servants quickly stepped forward and took Hu Er and all the guards into the county yamen prison, and the people watching outside the door also left discussing and yelling at Hu Zhongde, cursing at him!

After Hu Zhongde was arrested, he closed his eyes and passed out directly in the cell, unconscious.

At the same time, as the news of Hu Zhongde's imprisonment spread, the maids and concubines of the Hu family packed up their belongings and escaped from the Hu family overnight. take away those who leave.

The coal mine in Qinglin Town that was seized by Hu Zhongde was also taken back by Shi Wen, and the laborers and coolies were also sent home.

It was night, and there was silence in the cell. Suddenly, the door of a cell was carefully opened by the yamen guard, "Shh, shhh, come out!"

The yamen guard signaled the people in the cell to come out. Nakaben was lying on the ground in the cell. The two people who were still asleep a moment ago opened their eyes. When they saw someone coming, they immediately jumped out of the cell. Then another yamen guard carried two sacks. Put the fainted person inside into the cell.

Everything went smoothly and silently, without consciousness.

Naturally, the people who came out of the cell were Hu Er and the guard that Qianyeli had asked to pretend to be, and the person who was put in was himself. The scene began when Hu Zhongde drank the tea with laxatives...

The ending was happy, Hu Zhongde was thrown into the cell in a daze, without even the strength and consciousness to defend himself, the fake Hu Er didn't say anything in class, he only showed an unconvinced and murderous look, and the guards said in tears The grievances tell the truth of the incident, except for the strange witness Liu Mutou, the whole process is interlocking and tight.
