Chapter 7 Arresting People
The next morning, my left leg was almost healed, but I was still limping and a little awkward when walking.
However, early in the morning, there was a commotion outside Wu's house. The magistrate of Fengping County came to the door with a group of Yamen police officers. It seemed that they threatened to arrest Wu Bufan and bring him to justice.
At the door.
"Tolls!" The old lady was as persistent as ever.
"Old Mrs. Wu, you'd better get out of the way. Your son Wu Bufan is suspected of a murder case. There are all witnesses and material evidence, and the evidence is conclusive. If you obey honestly, you can get a lighter sentence." All the government officials persuaded her.
"No, no, I don't care about you. Who do you want to arrest? You want tolls to enter my house! No, no money, no one can get in! Humph!" The old lady still looked weak.
A person was standing alone at the gate, but no one dared to rush past the old lady. The whirring crutches were still very painful, and they did not dare to be disrespectful to a centenarian, so they
It's such a stalemate.
"Hey, you old woman, if this county wants to talk to you nicely, you still have to push your limits, right? If you push me too hard, this county will arrest you and bring you to justice!"
The magistrate of Fengping County, Ma Huichun, is a newly appointed magistrate in recent years. He is originally very ambitious and wants to make a difference. However, the little Fengping County can't make any achievements no matter how hard he works. Now he is in trouble.
Taking on such a big case, I naturally want to perform well.
"This county suspects that you are maliciously shielding a key criminal. Let me capture the leader!"
Magistrate Ma waved his hand and issued an order with high spirits. Unfortunately, even if Magistrate Ma spoke in person, none of the yamen agents dared to step forward. The chief labor officer was even more in a dilemma.
Neither.
"What are you doing? Do you want to disobey the order of this county? If you disobey the order, the lighter case will be sent to the army, and the worst case will be sent to the border. Do you want to disobey the order?"
The Yamen agents are basically all locals in Fengping County, and they have some kind of friendship with each other. Besides, Mrs. Wu is a great medical master despite her shaky walking and poor speaking skills. Usually these agents
Those who were seriously injured often went to see the old lady. Apart from being a bit rude and harsh in charging money, the old lady had good medical skills and was guaranteed to be back to full health the next day.
"Don't be rude. Mrs. Wu is our great benefactor in Fengping County. She is a hundred years old! Anyone who dares to touch her will ruin the feng shui of our Fengping County! He will not be able to get along with our Fengping County!"
Just when the police officers were in a dilemma, several octogenarians from Fengping County came together. People of the older generation value Feng Shui the most, and a centenarian is auspicious and a blessing given to Fengping County by God.
Several old men were menacing and intimidating everyone. They were all noble elders in Fengping County. They were all in their seventies or eighties. In terms of status, they were among the best in Fengping County. Some of them were even senior officers of the Yamen.
Ancestors.
"Hey, how come these elders are here? Ma Huichun has met some elders!" Magistrate Ma hurriedly saluted. Magistrate Ma could ignore Mrs. Wu, who had only come to Fengping County for more than ten years and had no power foundation.
But he didn't dare to offend these elders casually! A strong dragon could not overwhelm the local gangsters. These few gangsters were the biggest gangsters in Fengping County besides the yamen, and they controlled most of the discourse in Fengping County.
"Fifty sticks for home, sixty sticks for the countryside, and seventy sticks for the country. Old people over eighty can use crutches when they go to court to meet the saints. Old people who are ninety years old and even saints have to come to the house in person.
Greetings. Who are you? How dare you be disrespectful to a centenarian?" Several respected elders lined up around Old Mrs. Wu, guarding her. The leading old man was wielding his cane, and he was so imposing.
He is a practitioner and has good cultivation.
The leading old man is Coach Feng from Fengping County. He is an expert in the realm of muscles and bones. Many of these yamen agents have been trained under him. Coach Feng is a strict man and values etiquette above all. In Fengping County, they
These elderly people in their 70s and 80s all have a distinguished status, not to mention Mrs. Wu, who is more than 110 years old, and she naturally deserves the word "popularity".
Moreover, a plague broke out in Fengping County a few years ago. If it weren't for Mrs. Wu's wonderful rejuvenation, Coach Feng and many people in Fengping County would have died in the plague. Mrs. Wu had great kindness to Fengping County, so who
Do you dare to manipulate it at will?
It’s just that Magistrate Ma is new here and doesn’t understand the complications involved.
"This..." Magistrate Ma only thought she was an ordinary old lady, and did not expect that this stubborn old lady could win the support of the whole county.
If I had known earlier, I would have let Master Shen Cat catch him. Why would he want to be in the limelight? Magistrate Ma muttered in his heart.
Last night, there was indeed another murder case at the Lai Lai Inn, and more than a dozen people died. This time, the master of the Shenzhen Sect personally took action, tracked down a big clue, and identified the murderer as a charlatan. Magistrate Ma was already right.
The charlatan didn't like the charlatan, and he learned that the charlatan was actually a young boy with no powerful background, so he happily led people to catch this boy. How could he know that a centenarian would appear after catching this young boy?
!
"Teacher Feng, this county is a master who obeys the orders of the Shenping Sect. We have to do this as a last resort. The Shenping Sect was established by the Yangzhou Prefecture personally. It can kill corrupt officials at the top and thieves and bandits at the bottom. If the government order comes in person, in Yangzhou Prefecture
I have always been unique and domineering. Master Shenjingmen has ordered me to arrest the suspect, how can I afford to offend me?"
Magistrate Ma did not dare to act rashly due to the majesty of Old Coach Feng, but if he went back without being caught by anyone else, he would be afraid that Wusha would not be protected if the master catcher got angry.
"You said that Mrs. Wu's son Wu Bufan was suspected of murder. Who was killed? Is there any evidence?"
"Back to Mr. Feng, another murder occurred at the inn last night. More than a dozen people died. Master Shenping personally ordered a search. As a result, Wu Bufan's outfit was found in the inn, and the evidence of Wu Bufan's presence was confirmed!
"Captain Lao stepped forward and explained.
Yesterday, Wu Bufan didn't even change his clothes. He went to the inn wearing Bagua Taoist robe. When he came back, he was in such a hurry that he naturally forgot about his outfit.
"I just happened to be there. Maybe Bu Fan left his outfit at the inn?"
"Of course it's just a suspicion, but last night the watchers saw Wu Bufan disheveled and shambling, as if he was injured, and this morning the Yamen police officers discovered that there was a trail of blood flowing from the wall of Youlai Inn to Wu's house
."
Captain Lao pointed his head at the ground, and everyone took a closer look and there was indeed a blood stain at the door of Wu's house, and the direction of the blood stain did come from the Youlai Inn.
This definitely proved that Wu Bufan was suspected of committing the crime. The evidence was here, and the elders couldn't say anything. They had to turn their attention to Coach Feng and let him come up with ideas.
"This..." Relying on his age and prestige, Mr. Feng can challenge Magistrate Ma, but defying the laws and shielding the suspect is not what he and a few other elders can afford. But to
Coach Feng would never believe that Wu Bufan would kill people. If Mrs. Wu’s kid, who was a trickster and trickster, had the guts to kill someone, Coach Feng would even believe that a sow had the guts to climb a tree!
But after hesitating for a long time, he really couldn't find anything to say to refute.
"You said that my son Bufan killed someone, how did he kill him?" At the critical moment, it was Old Mrs. Wu who came to the rescue.
"Yes, you said Bu Fan killed someone, how did he kill someone as a kid?"
"Yes, yes, these are more than a dozen lives. How could he, a junior with no power, conquer so many people!"
"Yes, the Wu boy is okay with his words, but not with his hands. He can't learn a single move, so how can he deal with those dozen adults! Besides, after what happened at Laishang Inn
, I came to the inn again but I hired some warriors to protect me, so this is even more impossible!"
Several elders immediately started to defend Wu Bufan.
"Perhaps Wu Laoxie is a hidden master, or maybe he used some underhanded means to stun everyone?" Magistrate Ma muttered.
"Impossible. I was born with a weak sense of martial arts. I can't learn a single move or even practice martial arts. Everyone in Fengping County knows this. I am also an upright person. How can I use such despicable means to kill people!"
