The next day.

Under the guidance of Sun Chuanting, Su Hao got to know all the officials in Shangqiu County.

The structure of the county government in the Ming Dynasty was actually very simple. The main body was the county magistrate, also called the county magistrate, followed by the county magistrate and the chief registrar.

These three are the official officials of the imperial court in the true sense. There are ranks in the imperial court. The county magistrate is the eighth-rank official, and the county chief registrar is the ninth-rank official. The county chief and the county registrar are in charge of the grain, horses, taxation, and household registration of a county.

, patrolling various affairs, the county magistrate of Shangqiu County is named Xie Fei, who was born in Juren, and the county head Bo is named Yan Xing, who was born as a subordinate official.

Under the three imperial officials, there is Dian Shi, who has no rank and is not popular. His usual duty is to guard the county prison. If the county does not have a county magistrate and a chief secretary, Dian Shi will also take care of both responsibilities.

Finally, there are three classes and six rooms: the third class is the soap class, the fast class, and the strong class, which are responsible for ceremonial guard, public security, arrests, etc. The one who is responsible for the arrest is the fast class, and the sixth class corresponds to the six departments of the imperial court, and these people are the subordinates.

Originally, outsiders like Su Hao would be ostracized in the county government, because in the Ming Dynasty, subordinate officials were ancestral jobs, and all the subordinate officials in the county government were friends who had been forged several generations ago, let alone

As soon as he came, he pushed out the original head catcher Zhou Wei.

But people are also realistic. After Sun Chuanting took his hand and introduced everyone that he was his nephew, the atmosphere in the entire county government suddenly became harmonious. Yan Xing and Xie Fei, who originally had their nostrils turned upward, became

Became kinder.

Even Zhou Wei, who was pushed out of the position of being the head catcher by him, was smiling, as if he was following his lead, because Zhou Wei knew that with Sun Chuanting's status, he would not stay in Shangqiu County for long, and Su

Hao also won't stay here for long. Sooner or later, the position of the leader will still be his.

The other agents were also flattering. Everyone knew that being an official was not as good as being in charge. Su Hao was now not only an official, but also a supervisor. If Su Hao was offended, their ancestral iron rice bowl would be destroyed.

There is no comparison between them and Zhou Wei. Although Zhou Wei has been pushed out of the position of being the head catcher, his second-rate martial arts skills are still there. Once Su Hao leaves, Zhou Wei will still be the catcher. They are not good at martial arts.

Police officers are different. Once they lose their jobs, there are always people to replace them.

In this way, Su Hao began to eat at the public house in a friendly atmosphere.

………

Prison class room.

Su Hao was looking through the backlog of case files accumulated in the county government office. At this time, a government servant hurriedly walked in and said: "Sir, the county magistrate has invited me."

"Did the county magistrate say anything?"

Su Hao raised his brows. He had been the head catcher for almost a month. Although there were some cases in the county, most of them were trivial matters. Basically, Zhou Wei led people to deal with them. Therefore, Sun Chuanting did not ask him to come.

Apart from having dinner together, I haven't taken the initiative to look for him.

"Sir, Mr. Wu, a gentleman from the county, came to report the case just now. The county gentleman invited you for this reason."

After thinking for a while, the officer said.

"Then I'll go to the back office first, and you can put all the files here back to their original places."

After saying that, Su Hao headed towards the back office.

When they arrived at Houya, Zhou Wei, Yan Xing, and Xie Fei had already arrived, and besides Sun Chuanting, there was also a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing brocade clothes and a long beard.

"My dear nephew, here we come."

Seeing Su Hao come in, Sun Chuanting greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Boya, is this the arrester Su you recommended?"

Looking at Su Hao, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, Wu Shiguo was a little hesitant.

Seeing that Wu Shiguo seemed to be doubting Su Hao's ability, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Brother Wu, brother Fang, don't look at my nephew because he is young, he is quite capable, you can definitely rest assured."

"Uncle Sun, who is this?"

Seeing the two of them playing riddles, Su Hao couldn't help but curiously asked. Sun Chuanting also knew about the Su family's affairs. Although he was now the head catcher in Shangqiu County, Sun Chuanting probably wouldn't ask him to take action on ordinary matters.

"My dear nephew, this is Wu Juren, a gentry from Shangqiu County."

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "This time something happened to Wu Ju's family, and I need you, my nephew, to take action."

After finishing speaking, Sun Chuanting said to Wu Shiguo: "Brother Wu, please tell my nephew personally about the specific situation."

Seeing Sun Chuanting's attitude, Wu Shiguo no longer doubted Su Hao's ability, and said with a sad expression: "Su Captou, the thing is like this, my youngest daughter is seventeen years old, and she suddenly became seriously ill two months ago, and I'm all over the place.

I searched for the famous doctor in Gui De Mansion, but unfortunately he still had no cure, and he passed away in just four or five days."

"Wu Juren, it is normal for people to die from old age, illness, and death. Although it is sad that Qianjin died of illness, there is no need to sue the official, right?"

Su Hao frowned. Although he practiced hereticism, he didn't have the ability to bring back the dead. As for chanting sutras and other things, it was hard to find a heretic warlock like him.

"Captain Su, if he died of illness, I wouldn't go to the Yamen to complain."

Wu Shiguo had a look of hatred on his face: "But a month ago, the shopkeeper of my firm came back from doing business in Ye County, Nanyang Prefecture, and told me that he saw my little daughter in Ye County. For this reason, I rushed to Ye County specially, with that face

It is indeed a little girl’s, but it is not a little girl!”

"After I came back, I immediately dug out the little girl's coffin. The little girl's head in the coffin had long since disappeared!"

Head transplant!

Hearing Wu Shiguo's words, Su Hao suddenly narrowed his eyes and thought of a heretical magic recorded in the travel notes of the ancestors of the Su family. Among the Caimen, there were some evil-minded people in the Caimen who practiced a heretical evil.

He used the art of transplanting human heads onto animals to create monsters with human heads and animal bodies that were displayed everywhere to win large sums of money from onlookers.

However, after countless killings by the imperial court, this evil magic has almost completely disappeared. I didn't expect to hear it again here.

"What Wu Juren means is that someone killed your daughter, then stole your daughter's head and moved it to someone else's head."

After thinking about it, Su Hao still spoke.

"right!"

Hearing this, Wu Shiguo gritted his teeth and said, "I hope Capt. Su can catch the bad guy and avenge my little girl!"

"Uncle Sun, what do you think about this matter?"

Su Hao did not agree, but looked at Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting could accept or not accept such a case involving a heretical sorcerer, because such cases had always been within the scope of the Jin Yiwei's responsibilities.

"My dear nephew, I have to trouble you to make a trip for this matter."

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice.

"Since Uncle Sun said so, I will take people to Nanyang."

Hearing Sun Chuanting's words, Su Hao immediately understood the meaning of Sun Chuanting's words. Although Jin Yiwei was responsible for the rebellion caused by the leftist warlocks, this case occurred under Sun Chuanting's rule. If it were handed over to Jin Yiwei,

Sun Chuanting is also unavoidable and has a reputation for dereliction of duty.
