"Yes, sir." Ma Qianli said: "Wang Fan's arrest warrant has been suppressed for ten years, and the murderer has never been caught. Today, your Excellency must have credit for arresting the culprit and bringing it to justice and reporting it to the Criminal Department."
"Okay, you will draft the official document."
Li Xingdao: "By the way, please bring over all the wanted notices issued by the Ministry of Punishment. I want to take a look at them, sir."
"Yes, my lord."
Ma Qianli's face was full of joy and he bowed and exited the room.
Feng Tianlei and four detectives were waiting outside the door. When they saw Ma Qianli coming out, they rushed to greet him.
"Master is very talented in literature. He must say something nice for us in the official documents." Feng Tianlei said with a smile.
If you catch a serious criminal who has been offered a reward by the Ministry of Punishment, there will definitely be a reward from above. Even mentioning the names of Feng Tianlei and others in the official document is also a credit.
Ma Qianli had just arrived, and through this incident, he had become familiar with these people. He leaned over with a smile, and left chatting and laughing with a few people.
Li Xing stayed in the room. Not long after, Feng Tianlei led four detectives in from the outside.
"Sir, my master ordered me to bring the wanted order here."
"Well, let it go."
Bang bang bang.
Stacks of wanted warrants were placed on the desk, arranged like a hill, directly buried above Li Xing's head.
"There are so many straws!" Li Xing was surprised and stood up directly.
"Your Excellency, you don't know. Baihu County is the border of the empire. Someone committed a major crime and escaped from Baihu County to the territory of the barbarians."
"There are still people who simply hide in Baihu County, hiding their names and evading pursuit by the court."
"That's why the criminal department's arrest warrants are always sent here first, asking us to assist in arresting them. It can be said that we in Baihu County have files for the criminal department's arrest warrants over the years."
Li Xing flipped through a few pages and found some wanted orders that could be traced back decades.
"This is a huge treasure!"
Li Xing sighed with emotion: "How many wanted criminals have you caught over the years?"
"one."
Feng Tianlei raised a finger.
Li Xing nodded and said: "To be wanted by the Criminal Department, he must be a cunning and cunning person. It is not easy for you to catch one. Who is that wanted person?"
"Wang Fan." Feng Tianlei said seriously.
Li Xing was stunned for a long time. After making sure that Feng Tianlei was not joking, he silently praised him in his heart.
"Does your Excellency want to hunt down these wanted criminals?"
Feng Tianlei thought that Li Xing might have caught Wang Fan to get him out of addiction, but he didn't understand the situation in Baihu County and how easy it was to catch wanted criminals.
"Your Excellency, you don't know. These wanted criminals are often disguised and their appearance is completely different from before. With the court's shadow-painting and graphics technology, it is impossible to catch them."
"What's more, there are only five of us in the county government, and the manpower is simply not enough."
Li Xing turned his eyes around and scanned the five agents in front of him, including Feng Tianlei.
Li Xing also knows that current portrait technology is very backward, and it is almost impossible to identify wanted criminals based on these portraits.
However, he has the Eye of Haechi, which allows him to see through the target's disguise. No matter how well the opponent disguises himself, he cannot escape his own eyes.
"These wanted warrants will stay here for the time being. Today, I will work overtime overnight. Starting from cloudy days, I will search for wanted criminals throughout the city."
"Sir, there is something that I don't know whether to talk about or not?" Feng Tianlei did not agree immediately, but looked like he was hesitant to speak.
"What's the matter? Tell me what you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, we have not been paid for two years. Your Majesty has just taken office. Can you settle the salary owed by your predecessor?" Feng Tianlei said.
"Well……"
Li Xing was stunned on the spot.
In a county, there are generally only four or five officials who can receive salary from the court. A police officer like Feng Tianlei is just a minor official, and all his salary comes from the county magistrate's salary.
But the problem is that the salary issued by the court is simply not enough.
Of course, every county magistrate has a source of money, which can support not only the county government's police officers, but also the large and small officials, and the county government's servants and maids.
At this time, Ma Qianli came stomping over, holding a piece of paper with the scent of ink in his hands.
"My lord, my lord, the official document to be submitted to the Ministry of Punishments has been written. Please take a look at it."
Ma Qianli beautifully drafted an official document, using some rhetorical techniques similar to exaggeration. He described how Li Xing recognized the prisoner at a glance and how he fought with the gangsters with his bare hands... What was originally an ordinary incident, in his description
There are foreshadowings, turning points, ups and downs, and it becomes thrilling.
By the way, I also mentioned the names of Feng Tianlei and others.
"No need to read it." Li Xing said, "Leave it to the inn and hurry up to the capital."
"Sir, what happened just now..." Feng Tianlei said.
Li Xing scratched his head and said, "Master, you came just in time to settle accounts with them."
"Thank you, sir."
Several agents surrendered at the same time.
Li Xing sighed. He didn't expect that he would have to pay off his debts as soon as he took office. Fortunately, he had the silver gift given by Zhou Yuanwai, otherwise, he might not have had to instigate these arrests if he wanted to send them.
He locked himself in the room and began to look through the thick pile of wanted posters on the table.
The imperial court's graphics technology was indeed not very good. Almost every criminal had a slanted face, a crooked mouth, scars on his face, and a full beard.
Li Xing even doubted whether it was printed in batches by the Ministry of Justice.
He could only desperately write down the names, ages, places of origin, and crimes committed by these people.
Li Xing felt dizzy after watching it all night. It was almost dawn before he fell asleep in a daze.
Baihu County is not far from the capital. If you hurry up, you can reach the capital in one night.
At dawn the next day, the official document drafted by Ma Qianli had been sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
Beheading is a serious case. Theoretically, in the Daqian Dynasty, only the emperor has the qualification to kill. All cases of beheading must be reported to the emperor of the day, who will then draw the red flag.
There are many articles to be written in it. For example, the eunuchs around the emperor suppressed the cases of certain people. It is impossible for the emperor to read every letter. So year after year, although some people were sentenced to beheading,
But decades later, he even had a son.
This official document was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, which then reported it to the palace.
The pen-writing eunuch beside the emperor first read it over. When he saw the official document sent from Baihu County, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly reported it to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am very happy, very happy!"
The emperor is still young, only sixteen years old this year, and he looks like a teenager.
"Oh, why am I so happy?"
"Your Majesty, do you remember the Baihu County magistrate you promoted? He just took office yesterday and accomplished a great feat by catching a wanted criminal who had been at large for ten years."
"Oh, it's true!"
The Holy Emperor's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't help but feel joy on his face.
Li Xing's county magistrate was bought with money. In the whole world, those who have the courage to sell their official positions can only do so as emperor.
In fact, the eunuch who wrote the document instigated the emperor to do this. When the imperial edict was issued, there was a lot of opposition inside and outside the court.
"Okay, okay, I will reward him well."
The emperor clapped his hands excitedly and sighed: "Let them see, who said that those who buy an official position cannot be an official."
