Chapter 53: Arrest
Xu Jin didn't have the ability to climb over the wooden fence more than two meters high, and when he saw Xiao Wan chasing out, he was worried that there would be many people on the other side, and Xiao Wan suffered a loss, so he hurriedly ran out of the toilet, ready to go back to call a helper, but he met Han Chuang and Cai Yue who came to the toilet.
As soon as Han Chuang saw Xu Jin, he lost his voice and said, "Brother Xu, why is your head injured?" Kicked by a donkey? ”
Xu Jin dragged the beggar who climbed over the wall just now, but was kicked on the forehead by the other party, and now there are shoe prints, and the skin is scratched, and he is red!
Xu Jin didn't have time to tease Han Chuang at this time, and said urgently: "The two beggars kidnapped the little slave away, Xiao Wan chased him out, go and call a helper!" ”
Han Chuang and Cai Yue's faces changed greatly, in broad daylight, and in Xinjiang Academy, there was a kidnapping of children, and these thieves were too rampant.
"Cai Yuanhao, you hurry up and find a helper, Xu Jin and I will catch up, lest Mrs. Xu have a mistake!" Han Chuang was tall and strode towards the back of the latrine.
Xu Jin couldn't help but be grateful, this guy finally had a reliable time, so he hurriedly followed and caught up, while Cai Yue turned around and ran back to call for help.
"Oh no, Brother Xu's wife and brother were kidnapped by beggars in the latrine, and Brother Xu was also kicked and injured by thieves, and Han Shoucheng caught up!" Cai Yue ran to Yile Hall and gasped and shouted.
In an instant, the audience was amazed, how could it be that these thieves dared to be so rampant!!
The scholars present were all young men with strong blood, and when they heard this, they were all furious, rolled up their sleeves and rushed to the mountain behind the academy.
Fei Maozhong shouted: "Everyone split up to guard the road down the mountain, and stop the beggar when they see it!" ”
Some of the people who came to visit the mountains spontaneously organized themselves and joined in the search for the mountains, and the abduction of children was the most hateful and hated to the core.
In Yile Hall, Governor Lu, who was chatting, couldn't help frowning when they heard the commotion outside.
At this time, a scholar from Xinjiang Academy rushed in and said hurriedly: "Mountain Chief, Xu Dingding's wife and brother were kidnapped by thieves, and Xu Dingding was also injured by thieves!" ”
The faces of everyone in the hall changed greatly, and Governor Lu stood up suddenly, slapped the table, and said with a dark face: "How can this be reasonable, under the rule of this mansion, in broad daylight, such an appalling thing happened!" ”
Liu Qingyuan said awe-inspiringly: "Lord Futai is angry, this is the fault of the lower officials, so I will immediately send an arrest to arrest the thief!" ”
"Go, go immediately, catch them all, this mansion wants to see who is so lawless!"
Lu Zhifu was really angry at this time, today is the Shangyuan Festival, an important festival celebrated by the whole world, there are thieves who dare to be so arrogant, kidnapping children in broad daylight, and it happened in Xinjiang Academy, under their noses, these thieves clearly don't take themselves seriously.
Besides, Xu Jin and Han Chuang went around to the back of the latrine and saw a beggar lying on the ground and fainting, with a footprint behind him.
As soon as Xu Jin saw it, he knew that this beggar must have been defeated by Xiao Wan, so he followed the footprints on the ground and chased after him.
Han Chuang scratched the back of his head for some reason, could it be that this beggar was done by Mrs. Xu? That's amazing, isn't it?
"Xiao Wan! Xiaowan! Xu Jin shouted as he ran.
"Xianggong, I'm here!"
Xu Jin was overjoyed, ran in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a beggar being trampled under Xie Xiaowan's feet, and the sack fell nearby.
"Xianggong, hurry up and save people!" Xie Xiaowan shouted while suppressing the beggar.
Xu Jin hurriedly ran over to open the cloth bag and rescued the little slave inside, who had fainted at this time, and faintly smelled a medicinal fragrance, probably because he was covered by the beggar with drugs.
Han Chuang rushed forward to help Xie Xiaowan restrain the beggar, only to find that the beggar had a swollen nose and a blue face, even two front teeth had fallen out, and his face was covered with blood.
At this time, a large group of menacing scholars arrived one after another, and when they saw that the thief had been caught, they stepped forward to express their concern, and kicked or spat on the beggar by the way.
"Han Shoucheng, I didn't expect you to be so brave, the two thieves were by you, I didn't find you so powerful before!"
"Brother Shoucheng, you let me be impressed!"
Everyone gave a thumbs up to Han Chuang, who bravely captured the thief, and the latter said curtly: "Everyone misunderstood, when I arrived, Mrs. Xu had already knocked down the thief!" ”
All the scholars present were taken aback, and looked at the petite Xie Xiaowan with strange eyes, daring to love this blushing Mrs. Xu, who had the atmosphere of a village girl, was actually a fierce girl.
……
Du Cripple walked slowly down the mountain with a cane and down the stone steps. Since becoming the boss, Du Cripple is only in charge of commanding, and has never personally taken action, just now instructed his two "generals" Ge Lao Liu and Ma Lao Qi to do it, he himself went down the mountain first, ready to return to the Chenghuang Temple to wait for good news.
Ge Lao Liu and Ma Lao Qi have good skills and rich experience, and it is not easy to capture a little kid, so Du Lame is very determined.
As soon as he thought of fifty taels of silver, Du Cripple was so beautiful that he couldn't help humming a little song.
At this moment, there was a commotion behind him, and someone was shouting: "There is an old beggar in front, catch him first!" ”
Du Cripple frowned, subconsciously turned around to look, only to see a group of scholars rushing down from the mountain, instantly surrounding him.
Only then did Du Cripple realize that these people who dared to love him were coming at him, and secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, could it be that Ge Lao Liu and Ma Lao Qi missed?
"What are you doing? Although Lao Tzu is a beggar, he didn't steal or rob, relying on his ability to beg for food, why did you arrest Lao Tzu? Du Cripple raised his cane and shouted.
Du Cripple was fierce, and at this time, he was ruthless and shocked a group of scholars, and no one dared to come forward to arrest him.
A hint of pride flashed in Du Cripple's eyes, what about the reader, he was not frightened by Lao Tzu, a group of sour people who had no guts.
"Get out of the way, good dogs don't get in the way, Lao Tzu has to go back to the city to beg for food!" Du lame waved his crutches and scolded and scolded.
Du Cripple's words angered this group of scholars, the soldiers can not be killed, but they were scolded by a beggar and couldn't bear it!
"The stinky begging for food dares to be so arrogant and knock him down!"
I don't know who took the lead, and everyone rushed up and knocked Du Cripple to the ground. Du Cripple is just a strong outsider, and the lame old man only has a fierce mouth, and he will be caught in an instant.
"How can this be reasonable, let go of Lao Tzu, you are scholars, how can you be so rude and rude, bully a cripple in broad daylight, and there is no royal law!" Du lame scolded.
"Hey, old beggar, the royal law you want is here!" A scholar laughed.
At this time, a catcher and two yacha walked down the mountain quickly.
Seeing this, Du Cripple was not surprised, and shouted: "Ma Bantou, you came just in time, these scholars beat the villain for no reason, you have to be the master of the villain!" ”
The catcher is called Ma Heng, who is a catcher from Shangrao County, and he usually does not receive much from Du Cripple's filial piety, so when Du Cripple saw him, he immediately thought that the savior was coming.
Unexpectedly, the horse rampant came to him, and said with a dark face: "Lock this old thief!" ”
The two officials immediately stepped forward and locked it on Du Cripple's neck with iron shackles.
Du Cripple was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Ma Bantou, what are you doing here......
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in front of Lord Futai and the county honor!" Ma Heng said coldly.
Du Lame's face changed greatly, and at this time he had already determined that Ge Lao Liu and Ma Lao Qi had missed, and listening to Ma Heng's meaning, he actually alarmed Lu Zhifu.
"Ma, Ge Lao Liu, Ma Lao Qi, Lao Tzu was miserable by you!" Du lame scolded in his heart, and said with a smile: "Ma Bantou, what did the little one do?" If you want to work with the people of the government, you can't do it! ”
Ma Heng sneered: "You know what you have committed, take it away!" ”
The two officials immediately picked up Du Cripple and walked up the hill with expressionless faces.
Du Cripple secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, in the past, his subordinates were caught committing crimes, and they would be released after a few days at most, but this time Ma Heng's attitude seemed to be real, and in front of Lord Futai, let alone himself, I'm afraid even Ma Heng is just a fart!
"Ma Bantou, old horse, brother Ma...... Are you playing for real? Our friendship between the two of you, you play this with me? ”
Ma Heng's face sank, and he slapped the knife with a sheath on Du Cripple's mouth, bang, the latter had a mouth full of blood on the spot, and the entire row of teeth fell out, which showed the ruthlessness of the shot.
"Woo woo...... Du crippled his mouth and screamed in pain, his eyes full of horror.
Ma Heng's eyes showed a fierce light, and he lowered his voice and said coldly: "Du lame, I warn you, if you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense in front of Lord Futai!" ”
Du Cripple is still not interested at this time, so he is a fool in his life, and he nodded violently like a chicken pecking rice.
Ma Heng snorted coldly with a dark face, although he usually received a lot of benefits from Du Cripple, but this time the matter was so big that even the Lord of Futai was alarmed, and just now the county respected him sternly reprimanded him, and strictly ordered the thief to be caught, even if Ma Heng had ten guts, he did not dare to show favoritism.
At this time, the front of Yile Hall was surrounded by water, and two beggars, Ma Laoqi and Ge Laoliu, were lying on the ground like dead dogs.
In Yile Hall, the little slave who woke up hid in Xie Xiaowan's arms in fear, while Xu Jin was answering Liu Qingyuan's question.
Liu Qingyuan asked in a deep voice: "Xu Jin, why do these beggars want to kidnap your wife and brother?" ”
Xu Jin had already thought of a set of rhetoric, and replied calmly: "Lord Hui County, the little slave is not a brother-in-law, but a child abducted by a beggar, but happened to be rescued by the ......."
Xu Jin recounted the story of saving the little slave with a little polish, and finally said: "Lord County, I heard that a group of beggars gathered in the Chenghuang Temple, headed by Du Cripple, these people begged on the surface, but in fact they were stealing and abducting, and they did all the bad things, and everyone was angry!" ”
Xu Jin spoke very measuredly, and did not say bluntly that these beggars colluded with the county government officials to arrest quickly, after all, these people are Liu Qingyuan's subordinates, and if they really want to poke it out in front of the prefect, Liu Qingyuan not only can't get by with face, but also has the crime of dereliction of duty.
Of course, even if Xu Jin didn't explain, with Liu Qingyuan's officialdom consciousness, he would definitely immediately think that these beggars could become a climate, and I am afraid that it was not unrelated to the gang of errands under him.
Liu Qingyuan's face was cold, he had always been an upright official, he didn't think that there would be such a group of tumors under his rule, and said in a deep voice: "This matter will be thoroughly investigated by the county, and if it is true, it will be severely punished!" ”
