The policeman looked at the servant who was seeking death and working for a living. He didn't know how he was hurt or what happened to him. He was in such pain that he even wanted to commit suicide and end his life. He felt that there was a story in it.
He asked: "Whose house is this?"
"What do you tube?"
"I was passing by here, doing business with the boss, and I wanted to beg for a bowl of water. I saw a tree here, like a wealthy family. It should be no problem to ask for water, so I came here. I found you crying here. I don't know you.
What you have been through, but I know you must be in a bad mood now." The policeman said.
"Oh, it turns out you are a miserable person like me. Drinking water is okay. Please come with me." The servant stopped crying, with tears still on his face, and said to the policeman.
"Oh, maybe you are too hungry and not thirsty anymore. You are working as a servant in a wealthy family, so you must be a little aggrieved. Can you tell me what happened?" asked the policeman.
"You don't know, just tell me. The owner of the house is named Zhu. He is rich and was targeted by thieves. I happened to be on duty last night. In the middle of the night, a thief came to steal. I shouted to hunt him down and waited for other servants to protect him.
When the hospital came, the thief had already run away and could not be chased. He stole a lot of gold and silver. The owner of the house began to curse me, fined me a year's salary, and even beat me. The owner was angry outside, so he took it out on me when he came home.
Do you think this is the right thing to do?" the servant said.
"What's going on? The master of the house is being offended outside? Who dares to offend him?" asked the policeman.
"You don't know this. The magistrate of our county, Wu Zhi'an, bullies the weak and fears the strong. He has always wanted to recruit thieves, but he didn't have the confidence. If the thieves were recruited as officials, everyone would be willing to become thieves. Thieves and bandits
He refused to listen to him and repeatedly refused to see him. He always committed crimes and specialized in stealing from wealthy households. The wealthy households united to sue Wu Zhian for not doing anything. Wu Zhian was helpless and promised to give some benefits to the wealthy households, so he did not file a joint complaint again.
I was not afraid of being stolen. I stole Wu Zhian to fill the hole. There was no other way. Who knew that when it got into the hands of Mr. Zhu, he found out that he had lost almost all the money earned by Gucheng County for more than half a year. This made Wu County
Ling was very angry. If he helped to make up for it, it might bankrupt the county government. He refused Mr. Zhu's request and ordered Mr. Zhu not to talk nonsense to the outside world. Even if he said good things about the county magistrate, he should not say anything, for fear that some people would make a fuss.
, Mr. Wu Zhian will not be able to come to Taiwan." The servant said.
"So, does Mr. Zhu have to keep his mouth shut?" the policeman asked.
"Yes, Mr. Zhu is afraid of officials. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for him, it will be fine. If he loses his treasure and feels depressed, he will take it out on me," the servant said.
"So that's it!" the policeman said, then he took off his civilian clothes and wore the police officer's uniform underneath.
When the servant saw it, he immediately fainted.
The policeman pinched him, and he slowly came to his senses. When he saw the policeman, he knelt down with a "pop" sound.
While crying, he said: "Master Bing, let the villain go! Spare the villain!"
"Don't be afraid, I will let you go and spare you! You are telling the truth, there is no need to worry. Take me to see your master." The policeman said.
"No, no, no, if the head of the family knew that I was the one who led the soldier in, he would definitely suspect that I was the one who told the truth. He would settle accounts with me in the future, and he might skin me alive and beat my tendons."
The servant cried.
"No, if you are worried, you go in, close the door, and I will knock on the door again. If you ask others to open the door, no suspicion will be raised on you. As for me, I will invite your master to see my master. This way
"We didn't make any mistakes, everything is fine, what do you think?" the policeman said.
"I think this will work. Okay, I'll go in first, but you must come. Otherwise, you will be a person who breaks your promise. Remember, Master Bing!" the servant said.
The servant ran in and closed the door.
The policeman waited a moment and thought it would be better this way.
Then he stepped forward and opened the door. As expected, the person who opened the door was not the servant just now.
The servant who opened the door saw a policeman on duty, trembled with fright, and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
"Look for Officer Zhu, is he there?" the policeman said.
"Yes, yes, I'm going to announce it right away. What's your name, please?" the servant asked.
"If your surname is Zuo, just say that you are the county police officer Zuo." The police officer said.
"Okay, I'll make the announcement now, please wait a moment." The servant said, and then closed the door.
After a while, the servant came out and said, "Master, I want to invite you."
"Okay, thank you!" the policeman said.
"You're welcome, my husband often interacts with people from the county government, but I've never met you," the servant said.
"You have too many problems, just do your part." the policeman said.
The servant did not dare to speak and quietly led the policeman to the living room.
A red-faced man was sitting on the Taishi chair. When he saw the captain, he immediately stood up and invited him to take a seat. The captain sat down sideways, as if he was about to leave immediately.
"Come here, make tea!" the red-faced man ordered.
"Can I ask if it's Yuan Wai?" the detective asked.
"That's right, little old man. Just now my servant reported that you are a police officer from the county government."
"Exactly, I am the left agent. There is a right agent in the Gucheng County government office. I am different from him," the agent said.
"I know, I know, even poor brothers and brothers are different. It's okay, everyone can understand it. I don't know what the government wants to do with me? I always obey what I say and will never cause trouble to the government. If you have any problems, you can do it yourself.
To solve the problem, it is better to ask the government than to ask yourself." Zhu Yuanwai said.
"I heard that you had something to report to the police, but nothing happened. It's strange. I was entrusted by someone to come to the house and invite you to talk. I wonder if I can make it easier?" the detective said.
"Okay, that's fine. It's just that Magistrate Wu has spoken first, so I don't dare to disobey the order. I hope you will forgive me," said Zhu Yuanwai.
"No problem, no problem. I've got this one on me. Let's set off now," the policeman urged.
"Okay, here comes the horse," Zhu Yuanwai ordered.
After a while, the servant came in and said, "Master, the horses are ready."
The person who spoke was the servant crying at the wall.
"Hmph!" Zhu Yuanwai felt as if there were bugs in his nose. He snorted and tried to drive the bugs out.
In the end, the bugs were not driven out and all the efforts were wasted.
The two of them went out, mounted their horses, and headed straight for Gucheng.
Entering the city, Captain Zuo quickly led the way, while Officer Zhu followed closely behind.
When the two arrived at the hotel, Zhu Yuanwai was surprised. There was doubt in his eyes.
"Executive member Zhu, please go in first," the policeman said.
When Zhu Yuan took a look outside, he saw that the agent was wearing a uniform and was not a charlatan. Why was his office not in the county government office, but in the post office? Is it to avoid suspicion? Or to avoid trouble? It would be better to prevent the bad guys from finding the county magistrate himself.
To reassure the county magistrate?
Fu Ying was sitting at the table, but when she saw Yuan Zhu, he didn't stand up.
Zhu Yuanwai was surprised, who is this? When he saw the rich man, it was like seeing the air, and he just pretended that the rich man did not exist. Zhu Yuanwai felt that this was not respected, was this official? He became a little scared and did not dare to be angry.
He stood up in awe and complimented the people sitting there.
"This is our county magistrate," the policeman said.
"Are you here?" Fu Ying said.
"Here we come, the little old man's surname is Zhu." Rich Zhu said.
"Oh, Member Zhu! I heard something happened to your family?" Fu Ying asked.
"Oh, yeah, oh, no, no, no, it's okay, it's okay."
"What's going on? You're hesitant to speak. Isn't it your family or someone else's?" Fu Ying asked.
"Oh, no, sir, oh, county magistrate, my family is fine." Zhu Yuanwai said.
"Whose family is in trouble?" Fu Ying asked
"Oh, this, this, only Magistrate Wu knows. The little old man doesn't know." Zhu Yuanwai said.
"Nonsense! Even the thieves themselves confessed, saying that it was your house they stole. If it were not your house, the stolen money would have been handed over to the treasury. It will fill the treasury for the emperor, so don't cry!" Fu Ying said.
"This, this, it doesn't make sense! Well, I'm willing to risk it all, and I'll tell you the truth! I just hope that the stolen goods will not be handed over to the treasury." Zhu Yuanwai said.
"That's right! My officer said that the thief was caught and the stolen goods were recovered. You said it wasn't stolen, but the thief said it was stolen from your house. You said no. So, what the thief said was a lie. Of course I won't
Is that true if you let the stolen goods return to your home because there is no loss to your home? If you want to return it, just return it to the home that suffered the loss, right?" Fu Ying asked.
"It's the little old man's mistake. He shouldn't lie. The little old man's home was really visited by thieves. The losses were indeed considerable, and he also filed a lawsuit. Magistrate Wu refused to make any publicity, and kept a consistent tone to the outside world. He did not say that he had been stolen.
, to protect the reputation of Gucheng. When the little old man complained, no one listened or helped. It was really difficult. He was in a bad mood every day! When he met Captain Zuo, the little old man thought he was sent by Magistrate Wu to test him.
The little old man is in a panic. Now that he sees Master Qingtian, he must help him and let the little old man's things return to him in perfect condition." Zhu Yuanwai said.
"That's pretty much it. I'm not a noble man. I just want to make the people in the place live and work in peace and contentment." Fu Ying said, "You go aside and wait first. We have to deal with official business. If you are here, you can also drink tea. If
If you don’t want to live here, you can live somewhere else. If you have a horse, you can go home. If you don’t have a horse, wait until you get the stolen goods and you can arrange to transport them back. How about that?"
"No problem, no problem!" Zhu Yuanwai said.
As long as he can recover his money, he can say anything. He decided to stay in Guanyi and wait for good news.
Here Fu Ying arranged for manpower, dispatching elite soldiers and generals from Gucheng County Yamen to go to the den of thieves to capture the thieves.
The policeman was very familiar with that place. He led a group of people to rush to the den of thieves, surrounded it, and then attacked and killed all the men in black. The last one tried to escape through the back door, but was also caught.
He was imprisoned, tied up, and brought to the Gucheng County government office along with the stolen goods.
When Wu Zhian saw it, he was overjoyed. This was a case that came to his door. He was making money again, and he was very happy.
Unfortunately, with Fu Ying nearby, it was hard for him to show off.
When Zhu Yuanwai heard that all the thieves and bandits had been caught in the county government office, he couldn't sit still anymore. He rushed to the county government office and beat drums to complain.
Wu Zhian asked: "Who is playing the drums?"
"Member Zhu!"
"Send him in." Wu Zhian ordered.
When Zhu Yuanwai saw Fu Ying sitting next to him, he felt confident.
"Who is kneeling?" Wu Zhian asked.
Member Zhu laughed inwardly, knowing full well that he was acting, so he asked, "My little old man's surname is Zhu. He lives in Zhuzhuang outside the city."
"What's the purpose of drumming?" Wu Zhian asked.
"The young man came to complain about the theft of his property," Zhu Yuanwai said.
"How many things were stolen? What were they?" Wu Zhian asked.
"Sir, I have a list of stolen property here, please take a look." Zhu Yuanwai said and took out a folder from his sleeve. The stolen property was densely written inside.
The master took the folder and handed it to Wu Zhian. Wu Zhian unfolded the folder and saw that there were indeed many things. Looking at the stolen goods again, they matched perfectly.
"Yes. It seems that you filed the complaint in time. The county has just captured a group of thieves who committed the crime. You came at the right time!" Wu Zhi'an said.
"Thank you, sir!" Zhu Yuanwai said.
After interrogation, the thieves claimed that there were eight of them. They sneaked into Zhu Yuan's wife's house at night and waited for an opportunity to commit the crime. After succeeding, the two rented a house in another place, and the other six took their belongings to a brothel to rest.
We agreed on a meeting place. We didn't dare move during the day for fear of arousing suspicion, so we left the city in the evening.
Because he was carrying a lot of property, and in order not to attract anyone's attention, he bribed a prostitute and asked the prostitute to pretend to be sick, lie on her side on the door panel, and carry the door panel to the meeting place.
The prostitute received the benefit and was willing to assist the thieves in completing the task of transferring the stolen goods.
"That's it! Clerk, write down what you said, and then have the eight thieves sign and seal it." Wu Zhian ordered.
"Sir, thank you very much for your unique vision and your ability to solve this major case!" Officer Zhu said.
"Don't do this! Aren't you still thinking about your things? Come here, look at the discount, look at the discount and the stolen goods, select out the things except member Zhu's, and return them to their original owners. The remaining parts will be temporarily detained.
At the county government office, we will wait for other victims to come to complain and then verify and refund them one by one." Wu Zhian said.
As soon as he finished speaking, drums sounded outside.
Wu Zhi'an was shocked, "Oh no, who is beating the drum to complain?"
Look at this crow's mouth, what are you afraid of?
"Who plays the drums? Bring them in." Wu Zhian said.
After a while, more than a dozen people came in from outside. When they came in, they knelt down in the lobby and shouted that they were wronged and that they wanted to make decisions for the common people.
"What are you suing for?" Wu Zhian asked.
"The common man reported that his property was stolen by robbers." Someone answered below.
This is basically the answer.
"What evidence is there?" Wu Zhian asked.
Those who complained would submit relevant evidence, some of which were shopping receipts, some of which were other tickets, and a list of stolen materials. Wu Zhian asked people to check them one by one, and asked them which house the thieves had visited and what they had stolen.
?Strive not to miss an object so that everyone can find their own things.
After finishing all this, not a single piece of the stolen goods was left, and all of them went to the owner. Wu Zhian was extremely disappointed. It turned out that people's hearts and property were tied together, and everyone cared about the property, and he cared about the property more than he cared about the person.
Wu Zhi'an originally wanted to leave some property to the county government, so as to claim credit or get a reward from the emperor. Unexpectedly, this plan failed. He originally wanted to have a fit and insisted on leaving some property, but when he saw Fu Ying sitting next to him, he had to give up.
