Chronicle of Emperor Jing

The man Fu Yin ordered them to arrest turned into a fugitive slave in an instant and disappeared without a trace. The Wei family actually wanted to sue someone for abducting and selling his slaves. Some people would not believe such a coincidence, but The so-called cannibals have short mouths and soft hands when taking people. After accepting the gift from the prince, they can no longer open their mouths to pick this thorn.

The arresting yamen servants immersed themselves in their work, collected many testimonies from the farmers, and asked them to press their fingerprints one by one. Afterwards, they put away these things and returned to the hall to drink tea. Only then did they talk about their real purpose of coming here .

"My lord, we came here this time to apprehend Guanshi Liu. This Guanshi Liu of your family has been involved in a case of forcibly buying land, including a life lawsuit. The incident took place in Dongping County... ..." The leading arrester, fearing that Shizi might not understand, patiently explained all the ins and outs to him.

"There is such a thing. I wonder why Guanshi Liu suddenly ran away. It turns out that he has betrayed the master!" Wei Minwen was so angry that he threw the teacup on the table and said bitterly, It was as if he was hearing about it for the first time.

Before he came to the farm, he guessed that Guanshi Liu was the one who caused trouble in Dongping County. The only thing he didn't know was that someone was ahead of him and dealt with this matter. But when his uncle arrived, he told him that he I also know that this is Zhao Shi's shot.

After discussing with his uncle for a while, he came up with this strategy of counter-reporting, and he will come forward to implement it.

The reason, of course, is because he is a child, and he has the advantage of being young, so it is easier for others to believe what he says.

"My lord, calm down. Now we all know that Guanshi Liu is a villain who betrayed his master. I'm afraid there is someone behind this matter. Tell me, should we go out and investigate and see if we can get him back?" The leading policeman comforted Shi Zi a few words, and discussed with him with a smile.

The people in the Wei family's farm all depended on the Wei family for their food. They were either servants or tenant farmers, and they would definitely speak for the Wei family.Their words can be used as evidence, but they can only be used as part of the evidence.

This case of escaped slaves needs a lot of irrelevant evidence if it is to be substantiated.

In terms of time, Wei Minwen arrived before noon, an hour or two earlier than them, so there was no time to do so many tricks.

The leading police officer has been in this business for many years, so he naturally knows that there are falsehoods and truths in this line. It may not be all true, but it may not all be false, depending on how the Wei family does it.If the Wei family directly slaughtered the person, buried them in the ground, and then reported a disappearance case, saying that the person escaped, as long as the Wei family had a thicker skin, even if others didn't believe it, there was nothing they could do about it.

The policeman was worried that if they did too much, they would disrupt the arrangement of the prince and make trouble, but it would not be beautiful. After all, he had accepted the gift, so he had to be more particular about his work, so he discussed it with the prince before he acted. .

"Your Excellency is willing to lead someone to investigate, I can't ask for it. I have a small request, can you let me follow the investigation all the way? I found someone, and I don't do anything else. I just want to ask Liu Fa, my Wei family waiter He's not thin, why would he want to do something so outrageous, and make our Wei family unjust?" Although Wei Minwen didn't know what Zhao Shi did, but since Zhao Shi dared to arrange for Guanshi Liu to leave openly, There must be other arrangements in the follow-up, so he is not false in saying these words.

"That's good, as long as the son is not afraid of hard work, let's go." The arrester quickly stood up and said.

They have gained something in their pockets this trip, but their errands have not been settled yet.

The Wei family said that Guanshi Liu escaped, so how did he escape and where did he escape, there must be an explanation, not just saying that he escaped and just dismissing him casually.

The prince agreed with them to continue the investigation, and the arrester was also relieved.

For this kind of fairy fight, the more evidence the better, otherwise his lord Fu Yin will have a headache when he writes the closing statement, and then he will definitely scold their incompetent subordinates like hell.

"My lords, please take a short rest. I'll go change clothes and I'll go with you." Wei Minwen also stood up.

"My son please."

Wei Minwen entered the back hall, and Wei Ze was sitting in the room waiting for him.

"Minwen, you don't have to make this trip yourself, just point someone in charge to follow you." Wei Ze was a little worried about him running around like this.

"Uncle, I didn't know about this at first, so I don't need to worry. I can stay in the village and be patient. Now that I have reported the case, I will report it to my father when I return to Beijing, and let him worry about it. But now I don't care about it." People know what happened, but they are not in a hurry, and they are not in a hurry to find someone, which is neither emotional nor reasonable." Wei Minwen explained.

If he hadn't made this trip, others would inevitably think that the Wei family was so sure because they knew Guanshi Liu's real whereabouts.

"I'm just afraid that your reaction is wrong, it's too late." Wei Ze knew that this child was different from ordinary people, but sometimes he couldn't help but treat him as an ordinary boy.

These people in the government office have dealt with people all the year round, and they are all good people. If Min Wen's reaction is wrong, people will probably see the clues.

"Uncle, don't worry, I really don't know."

Zhao Shi didn't get through with them, how he handled this matter, it was a good thing for them at this time.

No matter which direction the police officers were going to investigate, no matter what they found on the road, Wei Minwen didn't know about it, so there was no worry of being exposed.

"That's true. Since you must go, I'll send a few personal guards to follow, so that no one will bump into you on the road." Wei Ze thought about it carefully, and found that the reasoning was really the same.

"Thank you uncle for your love. Minwen will bid farewell to uncle here. When the time comes, I will return to Beijing with these yamen servants."

"Be careful on the road, no matter what happens, don't be brave, and protect yourself carefully."

"Yes."

Wei Ze waited for him to change his clothes, checked the people he brought again, and kicked the worthless boys out of the team, leaving only a few seasoned attendants, and then replaced a few of his personal guards. After entering, he watched them leave the farm.

The section of road in front of the farm has been ridden by these people today, and the ruts have long been blurred, but this is the only road in front of the farm where horse-drawn carriages can be used. Since the farmers in the farm said that Guanshi Liu was driving several People don't worry that he will suddenly take a small path when he leaves the village in a carriage, but they still drive forward along this avenue.

They rode for about two quarters of an hour when the road split in two.One goes south and one goes north.The north is to the capital, while the south is to the county seat of Xifeng County.

Several officers got off their horses, explored the ground carefully, discussed among themselves for a while, and finally decided to go south.

Wei Minwen maintained that he was a good baby and he didn't know anything, and watched them investigate the case with great interest, occasionally even saying a few words of support.

"My lords are too powerful, you can find traces like this! This time, if you lords make a move, Liu Fa will definitely have nowhere to escape. Your lords have worked so hard to help me find someone. As long as I find someone, I will be very grateful. ' he said gratefully.

The arresters were really not looking for someone for him, but if Shizi misunderstood him so much, they would not be so stupid as to tell the truth. They all said haha: "Don't worry, Shizi, Liu Fa can't escape."

It was discovered that several carriages really left the farm, and the hearts of the policemen also came alive.

At first they were worried that this was a bluff from the Wei family, but now they didn't have this worry, and just focused on investigating the case.

As they went south all the way, more and more clues appeared.

At the beginning, there were few pedestrians on the road, and there were no houses or places for pedestrians to stop and rest on the side of the road. The police could only search based on the rut marks, but as the population became more prosperous, there were more witnesses.

Farmers working by the roadside and small shop owners resting by the roadside can all confirm that such a group of people went south.

"How many carriages? I remember, several large carts, using good horses, really rich. What does that man look like? A middle-aged man, a little thin, oh, I remembered, he has a forehead on his forehead. A mole!" most of the witnesses replied.

"Look carefully, is it this person?" The police quickly took out the picture and asked witnesses to identify him.

"It's him, that's right, it's this person!"

As more and more evidence was collected along the way, the arresting officials became a little embarrassed.

At first they were worried that the Wei family had killed him, and the Wei family reported the crime just to find an excuse to throw the blame. At this time, they were finally convinced that the Wei family had really been tricked.

They walked all the way, searched all the way, until they arrived at the county town, and only then did they find these large vehicles.

There are only cars, no one, because these big cars were sold to a car dealer.

"My lord, my lord, this villain bought these cars with real money. I really don't know about it." Bought these big cars in good condition.

But now that the official came to him, he regretted it.

The King of Hades is easy to see, and the little devil is hard to deal with. These petty officials in the yamen are the most difficult to deal with. Just because these cars are stolen, he will not be able to get away today.

"Master, this is your family's car. What do you think about this matter?" The policeman threw the problem to Wei Minwen.

These cars belonged to the Wei family, and the Wei family reported the case, so it was only natural to get these cars back. As for those who bought the stolen goods, they were all at fault, so how dare they go to the yamen to seek justice?

"Master, please do me a favor. The villain really doesn't know that this is stolen goods. The whole family of the villain saved money from food and expenses to buy these cars. If you take Going back, the villain and the whole family are going to starve to death." The shopkeeper started to cry as he spoke.

"Forget it, forget it, don't cry, it's just a few cars, I just need to catch Liu Fa." Wei Minwen looked at him with a bit of unbearable expression on his face, and waved his hands to signal him not to pursue it.

"Thank you, my son, thank you, my lord." The shopkeeper of the car and horse shop escaped the catastrophe of losing his property, and thanked him a thousand times.

Seeing that Yongning Hou Shizi was so easy to fool, the arresters relented after being said a few nice words and pretended to cry twice, so they didn't say much, anyway, it's none of their business.

"My lord, my lord, the villain knows something." The shopkeeper wiped his tears with his sleeve, lowered his voice, and talked about a piece of news he heard, "What's the name of me and that one, yes, Liu When discussing the price, I heard the people around him say that they are going back to the south, and it is best to buy a boat."

"My lords, take a look, is this good news? Will he be caught soon?" Wei Minwen became happy when he heard this.

Seeing him so happy, everyone's joy was beyond words, and they couldn't bear to see him.

This is definitely not good news for these proficient arresters. Liu Fa and others traveled by land and had to eat and rest along the way, leaving many traces along the way, but by water, the traces became very few.

They searched around the county seat, and finally got such depressing news.

Liu Fa and others bought a boat and headed south all the way.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, when we return to the capital and report this matter to Lord Fu Yin, His Excellency will definitely issue a sea arrest document and order the counties along the way to assist in the arrest, and we will definitely be able to catch people."

The chief of the police saw that Shizi's little face collapsed when he heard the news, and seeing that he was about to cry, he quickly comforted him with words.

The other people also gave comfort in various ways, lest the elder son cry in the street.

But what they said was just talking. Since Liu Fa ran away, it would not be easy to catch him back.
