Chapter 53 Arrest
Xu Jin didn't have the ability to climb over the two-meter-high wooden fence. When he saw Xiaowan chasing him out, he was worried that there were too many people on the other side and Xiaowan would be at a disadvantage. He hurriedly ran out of the toilet and was about to go back to call for help. As a result, he met someone who was coming.
Han Chuang and Cai Yue in the toilet.
When Han Chuang saw Xu Jin, he lost his voice and said, "Brother Xu, why is your head injured? Was it kicked by a donkey?"
Xu Jin just dragged the beggar who climbed over the wall, but was kicked in the forehead by the beggar. There are still shoe prints, and the skin is bruised and red!
Xu Jin had no time to joke with Han Chuang at this time, and shouted hurriedly: "Two beggars kidnapped the little slave, Xiaowan chased him out, go and call for help!"
Both Han Chuang and Cai Yue's expressions changed greatly. In broad daylight, children were kidnapped in Xinjiang Academy. These thieves were too rampant.
"Cai Yuanhao, hurry up and find help. Xu Jin and I will catch up to prevent Mrs. Xu from making any mistakes!" Han Chuang was tall and strode towards the back of the toilet.
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel grateful that this guy was finally reliable, so he quickly chased after him, while Cai Yue turned around and ran back to call for help.
"What's wrong, Brother Xu's wife and brother were kidnapped by a beggar in the toilet. Brother Xu was also kicked and injured by the thief. Han Shoucheng chased after him!" Cai Yue ran to the Yi Le Hall and gasped.
In an instant, the whole audience was stunned. How dare these thieves dare to be so rampant!
The scholars present were all vigorous young people. When they heard this, they were all furious. They rolled up their sleeves and rushed towards the back hill of the academy.
Fei Maozhong shouted: "Everyone split up and guard the road down the mountain. If you see a beggar, stop him!"
Some people who came to visit the mountains spontaneously organized themselves and joined in searching the mountains. The act of abducting children was the most abhorrent and everyone hated it.
In Yi Le Hall, Magistrate Lu who was chatting could not help but frown when he heard the commotion outside.
At this time, a scholar from Xinjiang Academy rushed in and said anxiously: "Shan Chief, Xu Yading's wife and brother were kidnapped by the thieves, and Xu Yading was also injured by the thieves!"
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed drastically. Magistrate Lu suddenly stood up, slammed the table and said with a dark face: "It's unreasonable. Under my rule, in broad daylight, such a shocking thing should happen!"
Liu Qingyuan said solemnly: "Master Futai, please calm down. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of a subordinate. We will immediately send an arrester to capture the culprit!"
"Go, go right away, catch them all, I want to see who is so lawless!"
Magistrate Lu was really furious at this time. Today is the Shangyuan Festival, an important festival celebrated by the whole world. There are thieves who dare to be so arrogant and kidnap children in broad daylight. Moreover, it happened in Xinjiang Academy, under his own eyes.
These thieves clearly don't take themselves seriously.
Besides, Xu Jin and Han Chuang went around to the back of the toilet and saw a beggar lying fainted on the ground with a footprint behind him.
When Xu Jin saw it, he knew that the beggar must have been knocked down by Xiaowan, so he followed the footprints on the ground and chased after him.
Han Chuang scratched the back of his head for no apparent reason. Could it be that Mrs. Xu did this beggar? That would be awesome!
"Xiaowan! Xiaowan!" Xu Jin shouted while running.
"Ms. sir, I'm here!"
Xu Jin was overjoyed, and ran in the direction of the sound, and saw a beggar being stepped on by Xie Xiaowan, and the sack fell nearby.
"Ms. sir, hurry up and save people!" Xie Xiaowan shouted while suppressing the beggar.
Xu Jin hurriedly ran over, opened the bag, and rescued the little slave inside. The latter had fainted at this time and smelled a faint smell of medicine. He must have been stupefied by the beggar's poison.
Han Chuang rushed forward to help Xie Xiaowan restrain the beggar. Only then did he realize that the beggar had a swollen nose and a blue face. He even had two front teeth missing and his face was covered in blood. He couldn't help but secretly said, "This Mrs. Xu is too fierce."
Alright.
At this time, a large group of aggressive scholars arrived one after another. Seeing that the thief had been captured, they all stepped forward to express their concern, kicking or spitting on the beggar.
"Han Shoucheng, I didn't expect you to be so brave. You defeated two thieves. I didn't realize you were so powerful before!"
"Brother Shoucheng, you impress us with admiration!"
Everyone gave a thumbs up to Han Chuang who bravely captured the thief. The latter said sarcastically: "Everyone misunderstood. When I arrived, Mrs. Xu had already knocked down the thief!"
All the scholars present were shocked and looked at the petite Xie Xiaowan with strange eyes. They dared to believe that Mrs. Xu, who loved to blush and had the air of a village girl, was actually a fierce woman.
…
Du Qiaizi walked slowly down the mountain along the stone steps with a cane. Ever since he became the boss, Du Qiaizi has only been responsible for giving orders and never took action himself. He just ordered his two "generals" Ge Laoliu and Ma Lao
After Qi took action, he went down the mountain himself, preparing to return to the Chenghuang Temple to wait for the good news.
Ge Laoliu and Ma Laoqi were very skilled and experienced, and they could easily capture a little kid, so Du Laizi was very confident.
When he thought of fifty taels of silver, Du Laizi felt so happy that he couldn't help humming a ditty.
At this moment, there was a noise from behind, and someone shouted: "There is an old beggar in front of you, catch him first!"
Du Zizi frowned and turned around subconsciously, only to see a group of scholars rushing down from the mountain and instantly surrounding him.
Only then did Du Laizi realize that these people were coming for him, and he secretly thought something was wrong. Did Ge Laoliu and Ma Laoqi miss him?
"What are you doing? Although I am a beggar, I have neither stolen nor robbed. I rely on my ability to beg for food. Why do you arrest me?" Du Laizi raised his crutch and yelled sternly.
Du Laizi was a fierce man, and when he started to act violently, all the scholars were shocked. No one dared to come forward to arrest him.
Du Zizi's eyes flashed with pride. What about scholars? They were intimidated by me. They were a bunch of courageous and mean people.
"Get out of the way. If the good dog doesn't block the road, I'll have to go back to the city to beg for food!" Du Laizi waved his cane and cursed.
Du Laizi's words made these scholars angry. The scholar could not be killed, but he was called a dog by a beggar. He couldn't bear it!
"How dare the stinky beggar be so arrogant, knock him down!"
I don't know who took the lead, but everyone swarmed up and pushed Du Laizi to the ground. Du Laizi was just a strong man, but the lame old man only had a vicious mouth, and he was captured in an instant.
"This is unreasonable, let me go, you are scholars, how can you be so rude and rude, bullying a cripple in broad daylight, there is no such thing as a king!" Du Laizi yelled.
"Hey, old beggar, the king's law you want is here!" A scholar laughed.
At this time, a policeman and two government officials walked down the mountain quickly.
Du Laizi was not surprised but overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted: "Ma Bantou, you came just in time. These scholars beat the villain for no reason. You have to make the decision for the villain!"
The catcher's name was Ma Heng, and he was a catcher from Shangrao County Government. He usually treated Du Cripzi with filial piety, so when Du Cripzi saw him, he immediately thought that the savior had arrived.
Unexpectedly, Ma Heng came forward and said with a black face: "Lock up this old thief!"
Two government officials immediately stepped forward and used iron shackles to lock Du Laizi's neck.
Du Laizi was stunned and lost his voice: "Ma Bantou, what are you doing..."
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in front of Mr. Futai and the county magistrate!" Ma Heng said coldly.
Du Laizi's expression changed drastically. At this time, he was sure that Ge Laoliu and Ma Laoqi had missed the target. Moreover, following Ma Heng's intention, he actually alerted Magistrate Lu.
"Damn it, Ge Laoliu, Ma Laoqi, I've suffered a lot from you!" Du Laizi cursed in his heart and said with a smile: "Boss Ma, what did you do? I need to work for Mr. Futai.
That’s not the case!”
Ma Heng sneered and said: "You know what you have done, take it away!"
The two government officials immediately picked up Du Laizi and walked up the mountain with expressionless faces.
Du Zizi secretly screamed in his heart that something was wrong. In the past, when his subordinates were caught committing crimes, they would be released after a few days at most. But this time, Ma Heng's attitude seemed to be serious, and in front of Mr. Futai, let alone himself.
Well, I’m afraid even Ma Heng is just a fart!
"Boss Ma, Lao Ma, Brother Ma...are you serious? Are you kidding me about our friendship?"
Ma Heng's face darkened, and he slapped Du Laizi in the mouth with the knife and sheath. Bang, the latter's mouth was filled with blood on the spot, and the entire row of teeth fell out, which shows the ruthlessness of the attack.
"Woo..." Du Laizi covered his mouth and screamed in pain, his eyes filled with fear.
Ma Heng's eyes flashed fiercely, and he lowered his voice and said coldly: "Du Laizi, I'm warning you, if you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense in front of Mr. Futai!"
If Du Laizi didn't know what was going on at this time, then he would be living in vain all his life. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Ma Heng snorted with a dark face. Although he usually received a lot of benefits from Du Laizi, this time the incident was so big that even Master Futai was alarmed. Moreover, the county magistrate had severely reprimanded him just now.
Under strict orders to catch the thief, Ma Heng would not dare to show favoritism even if he had ten courages.
At this time, the Yi Le Hall was surrounded by water, and two beggars, Ma Laoqi and Ge Laoliu, were lying on the ground like dead dogs.
In Yiletang, the little slave who woke up hid in Xie Xiaowan's arms in fear, while Xu Jin was answering questions from the magistrate Liu Qingyuan.
Liu Qingyuan asked in a deep voice: "Xu Jin, why do these beggars kidnap your wife and brother?"
Xu Jin had already thought of a way to say it, and replied calmly: "My lord, my lord, the little slave is not my wife's brother, but a kid abducted by beggars, and I happened to save him..."
Xu Jin elaborated on the story of rescuing the little slave, and finally said: "Your Excellency, I heard that a group of beggars gathered in Chenghuang Temple, headed by Du Laizi. These people are begging on the surface, but in fact they are stealing and abducting.
, the end is that all bad things are done, and both humans and gods are angry!"
Xu Jin spoke very measuredly and did not bluntly say that these beggars were colluding with the county government officials to catch the police. After all, these people were Liu Qingyuan's subordinates. If he really wanted to expose them in front of the prefect, Liu Qingyuan would not only lose face, but also be guilty of dereliction of duty.
crime.
Of course, even if Xu Jin didn't explain it, with Liu Qingyuan's official consciousness, he would have immediately thought that the success of these beggars might have something to do with his gang of errands.
