Let's just say that Xu Qing was not the kind of person who risked his life for money. It turned out that he had read the "Laws of Da Chu" well before he dared to do business.
Capt. Zhao looked at Xu Qing and said: "However, although this matter is a misunderstanding, the county captain has also signed an arrest warrant for you. You still have to follow us to the county government office."
In Dachu, the government is not allowed to arrest people at will. The county captain must sign a document, and the document must be stamped with the official seal to be effective.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll just go to the Yamen and tell them it's open. It's almost time for dinner. There will be no grilled fish at noon today. You go home to eat first."
.”
Xiao Ruxue could only reluctantly nodded and said, "Then you have to remember that you owe me a barbecue."
…
On the way to the county government office, Capt. Zhao asked in confusion: "Who was that little girl just now?"
After all, Xu Qing has been with him for a long time, and he knows Xu Qing well, but he has never heard that Xu Qing has a sister.
Moreover, the little girl is completely different from the children of ordinary people. Children of ordinary people will run away when they see official officials coming. Even if they can't run away, they will find a corner and tremble and huddle up, not daring to look directly at her.
Officials, let alone looking at them with that kind of eyes and yelling in front of them.
The look in his eyes made it look like he was a long-term employee of her family...
He is the court's chief catcher!
Xu Qing heard Zhao Captou's words and responded: "She? She is the shopkeeper of Qingxue Bookstore."
But Capt. Zhao was confused: "Aren't you the shopkeeper?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "I have only saved two taels of silver over the years in my humble job. If I don't have enough money to open a shop, the money is all provided by others..."
He is not even the shopkeeper, so this crime cannot be leveled.
Capt. Zhao looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Is that little girl a child of a wealthy family?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Well, her family is indeed quite big."
At this time, Liu Ji and Li Dong, who were patrolling the streets, saw a row of police officers escorting Xu Qing to the county government office. They were a little confused, why did they arrest one of their own?
So the two of them walked over quickly. Liu Ji looked at Capt. Zhao and said, "Boss, why did you arrest Xu Qing? What did he do?"
At this time, Xu Qing was no longer a criminal, but was arrested by Zhou County Lieutenant because of a misunderstanding.
Therefore, Capt. Zhao didn't need to be so nervous, so he told the two of them about the misunderstanding just now.
Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was just a misunderstanding, and called Liu Jida: "It turned out to be just a misunderstanding. I was scared to death. I thought Lao Xu had done something wrong. There was a good tea stall just now, and it happened to be open soon.
It’s time to go to the office, let’s go over and rest for a while.”
Liu Ji looked at Capt. Zhao and his group who had walked away, shook his head and said, "That's not right."
Li Dong wondered: "What's wrong?"
Liu Jidao: "The county lieutenant is in charge of the security of the county. The most important thing he does on weekdays is to try cases. He should be familiar with the law. How can he make such a mistake?"
Li Dong looked at Liu Ji and said, "Are you saying that the county captain deliberately wronged Xu Qing?"
Liu Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking."
Li Dong said at this time: "I think what you said makes sense. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If the Zhou County Lieutenant deliberately wants to punish Xu Qing, he will be in misery."
Liu Ji nodded and said, "That makes sense, but you and I, two young detectives, can't be reckless."
He thought for a while and continued: "In this case, you go and follow them to see the situation. I'll look for Capt. Su on West Street. Xu Qing is her subordinate, and she is the daughter of the county magistrate. I think she is not afraid of Zhou.
The county captain’s.”
…
In a valuable room in the county government office
The man surnamed Li looked at Captain Zhou and said, "Brother-in-law, Xu Qing, you must be more considerate."
As he spoke, he calmly opened a small wooden box that he had with him.
The white money dazzled Zhou Xianwei's eyes.
Zhou Xianwei laughed, pulled the small wooden box to his side without leaving a trace, closed it, and put his hand on it: "What do we say as a family, how can we be embarrassed..."
He didn't know whether the man surnamed Li and Captain Zhou were the same family.
But the things in that small box and my brother-in-law are definitely a family now...
Money is not all powerful?
That’s just because you don’t have enough money!
…
Xu Qing stood in the lobby. After Zhou County Lieutenant came over, he sat down in the lobby.
If there is no particularly serious case, such as a murder case, it will not be a county magistrate's case.
Generally, cases are tried by the county lieutenant.
County Captain Zhou looked at Xu Qing in the lobby and said, "Xu Qing! Do you know your guilt?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know what a humble position is."
Zhou County Lieutenant looked at Xu Qing and was stunned and said: "In the "Laws of Da Chu", officials in our court are not allowed to do business, and violators will be severely punished! Do you still dare to say that you are right?!"
Xu Qing looked at Zhou Xianwei and said, "Sir, this villain is wronged."
Zhou Xianwei snorted coldly: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, you still dare to quibble?!"
Xu Qing explained: "Sir, it is written in the "Laws of Dachu" that Dachu officials are prohibited from doing business, and the villain is just an official. If you don't believe it, you can read the "Laws of Dachu".
However, Zhou County Lieutenant did not expect that Xu Qing had read the law. He originally thought that he was just a small policeman who could frighten him with any charge, and then he was given a charge at will and thrown into prison.
As long as you sign and pledge your name, innocence becomes guilt.
However, this person now actually stated the law in a reasonable and well-founded way, which was a bit difficult to handle.
However, Zhou County Lieutenant thought of the small box of silver on the check-in table, and he made a sudden move and said in shock: "Are you teaching me how to do things?!"
Then, Zhou Xianwei said: "Who is coming?!"
The officials on the left and right immediately looked at Chu Shui's fire stick and said, "Here you are!"
Zhou County Lieutenant picked up a wooden sign with the word "order" written on it and threw it on the ground: "This person dares to roar in court. I will give you twenty big boards!"
Xu Qing suddenly felt a chill in his heart. This week the county captain was going to punish himself sincerely!
So sloppy!
Xu Qing should have thought of it a long time ago. How could he, a county captain who was familiar with the law, make such a low-level mistake of treating officials as officials?!
I'm afraid this was premeditated, right?!
In fact, I don't want Xu Qing. He is not from this world. He has come from a society governed by law and has never experienced severe beatings from society. He is not proficient in the officialdom of Da Chu.
But after experiencing this, I'm afraid I will be more cautious next time.
It is always right to think more about things when you encounter them.
Unfortunately, Xu Qing is not Xiao Ye, and he does not have an old father who is a prince to support him.
At this time, I felt a little anxious.
Li Dong watched all this from outside and couldn't help but become anxious.
