Chapter 164 Unlock the bell

Xia Houhou's home was sealed by the government.

Xia's mother was taken in and raised by the Xia tribe in Dananzhuang. Zhong Yishi and others found Xia's mother and found out what happened through the Xia tribe.

It turned out that Chen Shouzhi took Xia Houzhi to Dezhou Prefecture, but there was no evidence to prove that he participated in the robbery of the official ship. Shang Xianzhi's purpose was to put Xia Houzhi to death. Seeing that he could not be cured of his crime, he accused him of hiding arsenic. , making poison to harm people.

Arsenic is a matter controlled by the government and cannot be sold or stored by private individuals without permission.

Chen Shouzhi returned to Xia's house to search again, and confiscated Xia Houhou's secret "Erotic Soul", "Ruyan" and other strange medicines. When he went back to verify them one by one, he made a major discovery, because Chen Yunyan used "" when he sneaked into the prison to rescue Wang Zhengyi. Like smoke", this is enough to prove that those psychedelic drugs were made by Xia Houhou.

There is no doubt that Xia Houhou and the bandits who robbed the official ship are a group.

Another person involved in the case, "Zhang Xiu", appeared in Xia Houhou's home. The mystery was not difficult to figure out. Chen Shouzhi couldn't help but take a breath. If "Zhang Xiu" was involved in the case, then Xie Yutian would definitely There is no way to escape the relationship. Therefore, Xie Yutian is naturally involved in the murder case of the Taierzhuang County Sheriff's Department.

However, Shen Tong replied to the letter saying that Prince Su received the donated items. Is this true or false? If it is false, Shen Tong will also be involved.

This is a shocking case. Should we report it or not?

Report it to Yuan Shikai, and the entire Xie family, including Shen and others, will be sent to prison. If this important case is solved, Chen Shouzhi will undoubtedly receive awards and promotions.

Chen Shouzhi hesitated about this for a long time. As a head catcher, it was his duty to solve the case, but when he thought of Yuan Shikai's ruthlessness, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

He seemed to see the river water in Taierzhuang stained red with blood.

The case at the County Magistrate's Office has been closed. Two criminals were burned to death in a coal kiln. Are there going to be more deaths?

Chen Shouzhi thought over and over again and decided to see the results of Xia Houhou's interrogation first. If Xia Houhou confessed and identified his accomplices, he would not have to worry about it and reported it directly to the governor. If Xia Houhou was willing to bear the blame alone, he would hide it from the police. The plot of the Xia family meeting "Zhang Xiu" was not for anything else, but for the sake of colleague Shen Tong.

They are all head catchers, and he is well aware of the bitterness involved. Being ordered around by superior officials, cursed and blamed by the common people, it is not black and white, they are just making ends meet. Living in such troubled times, it is not easy to survive.

Xia Houhou was a man. He gritted his teeth and insisted that he did not recognize "Zhang Xiu" and had never participated in the robbery of the official ship. As for the poison, he insisted that he bought it from a Tianjin Wei peddler. He also had this kind of medicine that others had. It cannot be confirmed that the hallucinogen used on the prison officer was sold by him.

Xia Houzhi's determination once puzzled Chen Shouzhi. Yes, Xia Houzhi sells wild medicines. Others will have what he has in hand. How can he control how the buyer uses what he sells?

Could it be that "Zhang Xiu" and others really stayed at Xia's house by mistake?

After working as a head hunter for half his life, he began to doubt his own judgment and analysis for the first time.

Xia Houhou was severely tortured and tortured to death. No one was bitten, and the name of his master Zhao Sanduo was not even mentioned.

This made it difficult for the Dezhou magistrate to judge the case. It was a crime worthy of death and had to be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment. The existing evidence showed that Xia Houhou was certainly not guilty of a capital crime, but the case also involved Guang Gu, an important minister in the court, so the magistrate simply sentenced him to prison pending trial.

Shang Xianzhi's plan to send Xia Houhou to prison is only the first step. What he wants is for Xia Houhou to die. Only if Xia Houhou is dead can future troubles be eliminated forever. Otherwise, Zhao Sanduo and others will come back to fish out Xia Houhou.

, the trouble is all ours.

Shang Xian's bribery relationship gave the Dezhou magistrate a large amount of money, hoping to kill Xia Houhou with an unreasonable name. The Dezhou magistrate accepted the money, but did not dare to handle the unjust case. It was not that he was an upright official, but that the case was

It was invented by Yuan Shikai. He knew Yuan Shikai's methods and did not dare to take bribes and bend the law.

As the night gets longer, the number of dreams increases. Now that Shang is having trouble sleeping and eating, nightmares begin.

The Xia clan members told Zhong Yishi and others about the grievances between the Shang and Xia families in Dananzhuang, and Chen Yunyan immediately exploded!

"This is obviously Shang Xianzhi framing Brother Xia! I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Zhong Yishi pulled him, shook his head, and walked out of the Xia tribe's home before saying, "Senior brother Xia is still in prison. It is not appropriate to use force on Shang Xianzhi at this time."

"Are we ignoring Brother Xia?"

He Shaobai said: "With so many of us in Dananzhuang, if the right and wrong come out again, it will actually prove Xia Houhou's crime of being a bandit. At this time, we need to take a long-term approach."

He Shaobai proposed to go to Hejiadian first, stay away from Dananzhuang, stay at his house, try to rescue Xia Houhou first, and then consider how to deal with Shang Xianzhi.

Zhong Yishi agreed, and immediately asked Lu Xiangta to buy a donkey from the village, and took Xia's mother to live in He Shaobai's house.

When He Yingqi saw his son come back, he was pleasantly surprised, but he was a little unhappy that he had brought so many people. Ever since the last time a group of people caused trouble in the He family, he had become very disgusted with people in the world.

Especially when I saw Zhong Yishi, I couldn't help but look at him a few more times and wondered: "How come this young master looks familiar to me?"

Zhong Yishi pursed his lips and smiled. He Shaobai said: "Dad, his name is Zhong Yishi. He is my junior brother. You have met him before."

He Yingqi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out when he had seen her before. It wasn't until after the banquet that he suddenly realized it. He pulled He Shaobai to a deserted place and asked: "Isn't that Zhong the bandit who kidnapped you? I remember her.

Is she a woman?"

He Shaobai said: "Those people were not bandits back then. It was my son who had offended them. Now the past feud has been cleared up."

"Send these people away quickly. My He family never interacts with people in the world."

"Dad, how did you know that they saved my son's life in the capital? How can I repay kindness with hatred? Let them live in the manor. They will leave in seven or eight days at most."

"Saved your life? What did you do? Didn't you become a guerrilla general?"

"Dad, what a great officer you are as a guerrilla general. You are just a guard guarding the city gate. Since ancient times, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. This time, my son has experienced the power of the princes and ministers in the capital!"

Why Yingqi said: "You don't want to be an official anymore? You're going home from now on?"

He Shaobai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't explain it clearly for a while, and said: "My son, I will tell you about this later. I will take a few friends to live in the garden first."

Zhong Yishi and others stayed at the He family manor, rested for a day, and invited He Shaobai to come over to discuss how to rescue Xia Houhou. They thought about it for a long time, but had no clue at all.

Chen Yunyan said: "To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be tied. Why not tie up Shang Xianzhi and ask him to go to the government officials to release Brother Xia."

"What happens after he is released? Can Xia Houhou still stay in Dananzhuang? He can't bear to part with the newly built house."
