"The government is handling the case, and the rest are waiting to give in!"
Several people's hearts jumped: "What's going on?"
Uncle Hu went out, grabbed a waiter and stuffed a piece of silver weighing about two cents into his mouth, and asked in a low voice.
The guy squeezed the money in his hand and was reluctant to give it back. He quickly said: "I just heard one or two words about some criminal who escaped. Didn't he come here specially to arrest him? Don't panic, it's nothing serious.
Son! After all these years, this is the first time I have encountered this, so it’s a bit new.”
The waiter was full of curiosity, said a few words to relax, and hurried to watch the excitement.
There have always been a lot of prisoners in the Lingnan area, so everyone is used to it and is not surprised.
After the prisoners are exiled, they are usually prohibited from leaving the county, but the government rarely monitors this. After all, the exile has been going on for many years. How can local officials have so much energy to target such a group of people?
Carry out long-term monitoring, and basically turn a blind eye and ignore it on weekdays.
As long as you keep a low profile and don't run around blatantly and aggressively, no one will care.
But the premise is that you don't make trouble.
If you cause trouble and you happen to be caught, you will be severely punished and may even be killed.
There is another situation where someone reports the matter to the police.
If someone reports to the government, then the government will naturally take care of it. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be considered as inaction?
But generally speaking, who would mind such nosy matters?
No one wants to go and deal with the government for no reason, let alone report and make enemies for no reason.
As for the refugees, they rarely run around. Not to mention leaving the county, many prisoners will probably never leave the village where they live for the rest of their lives.
So, now that someone actually reports to the police, the waiter feels it is new and eager to run to watch the excitement.
Uncle Hu closed the door of the private room and whispered, "Why do I feel that this is such a coincidence? I feel a little uneasy."
Zhou Hansheng's eyes turned cold: "You should be careful no matter what, let's leave now."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, before everyone could get up and move, Zhou Hansheng grabbed Zhao Liya and said, "Someone is coming, it's too late!"
It was already dusk outside the window, and the sparse lanterns hanging everywhere were shining little by little. Zhou Hansheng glanced outside the window and asked Lin Mo: "Can you bring someone with you?"
Lin Mo nodded.
Zhou Hansheng: "Then let's go!"
"good!"
Zhou Hansheng took Zhao Liya and Lin Mo took Shu Yan out of the window.
Fortunately, this window faced the inner courtyard, and there was no one around at this time, and it was covered by night, so no one was alarmed.
Zhao Liya asked Lin Mo to take Shu Yan to find a safe place to take shelter first. She said to Zhou Hansheng: "I'm afraid Uncle Hu won't be able to handle it, so let's take a look quietly."
"good!"
As soon as they left, Uncle Hu took a deep breath, immediately opened the door of the box and walked out. Sure enough, a group of official servants led by one person came bustling towards this direction. The person leading the way shouted: "It must be them! Since they are not in the guest room, they must be in the guest room."
Dining, according to the shopkeeper's description, is in this T-shaped private room! Those criminals are very cunning, please don't let them fool you - huh?"
When he saw the private room door open and Uncle Hu walking out, the leader's eyes lit up and he pointed at Uncle Hu and said, "They are in the same group!"
Uncle Hu secretly resented that if the person leading the way was not Mao Dexing's housekeeper, who could he be?
They were really enemies on a narrow road. I heard that Mao Dexing ran to the provincial capital to avoid face, but I didn't expect to meet him again.
Probably Mao Dexing accidentally saw Xiao Yalinmo and the others. Didn't he seize the opportunity and take revenge?
Upon hearing what Butler Mao said, Uncle Hu chuckled: "Steward Mao, we meet again! What is Butler Mao talking about? It's not so unfair to accuse someone wrongly. I have a guide. Do you want to see it, Butler Mao?
?”
Butler Mao sneered: "You are in the same group as the Zhao family prisoner in Yancun. You can't refute this, right?"
Uncle Hu smiled and said, "The Zhao family has been my friends since long ago. Is there anything wrong with me coming to visit my friends?"
"Huh!" Butler Mao sneered, not talking nonsense to him, pushed him away and hurriedly led people into the private room.
When you catch those people, you will know what's wrong. What's the use of talking now? Do you want to delay time? Impossible! No matter how much you delay, you can't escape!
Empty.
"This is impossible!" Butler Mao was furious and asked Uncle Hu angrily: "Where are the people eating with you?"
"Let's go."
"Where have you been?"
"I said I went out for a walk after eating. As for where I went for a walk, and whether I would come back at night, I don't know. After all, they are all young and vigorous people, and this provincial capital is so lively, so there is no way to spend the night.
What? Right?"
The only three people who could not be discovered by the government were Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Lin Mo. Zhou Hansheng also brought several personal guards with him. As long as he made a good confession and just said that he had eaten with them, what could Butler Mao do?
"You are sophistry!"
Uncle Hu was very surprised: "Quisy? It's just a meal. Why do you need to quibble? Butler Mao, I thought that the previous matter was over. If we didn't cause trouble for you, it would be considered magnanimous. But you are unwilling to comply."
Spare me? What do you mean?"
"What do you want to do by bringing so many people here for no reason? The people I'm eating with are all acquaintances, so there can't be any problems. Who do you want to harm?"
The leading officer frowned and immediately understood: these two families were enemies!
They are enemies, and those who torment them should not tease others. He was very unhappy at the moment: "Steward Mao, didn't you say there were prisoners who escaped from Gaolian County? Where are they?"
"They must have gotten wind of it in advance and escaped!"
"Prisoner?" Uncle Hu sneered: "Steward Mao, don't go too far! The Zhao family has always behaved themselves, but you are slandering!"
Butler Mao was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Impossible! My young master and I saw Zhao Liya with our own eyes today, and we will never be mistaken!"
After finally confirming that they were staying at this inn, I thought that as soon as I reported it to the government, they would come and pick them up. Who knew that the Yamen didn't want to take care of this matter at all.
As a last resort, the young master came forward as the brother-in-law of the county magistrate of Gaolian County and reported the case again, and then the Yamen sent someone.
Unexpectedly, all this back and forth wasted time, and someone actually ran away!
Butler Mao firmly believed that someone must have escaped.
The old man Uncle Hu was here and seemed much more confident than him. He sneered: "Did you see it with your own eyes? Then why didn't you say anything and arrest the person then?"
Butler Mao choked!
How did you catch them at that time? You just discovered it when you returned to the city in the evening, so you followed them carefully from a distance and found that they were staying in this inn. Didn't you report them to the official immediately?
