Their qualifications are relatively low, and they are responsible for many cases. It would be great if they could be involved when discussing merit, let alone great merit.
The three of them retreated into the courtyard and couldn't help but whisper, "Do you think we can really catch people?"
"What you should ask is, are the people really from the Dagong Ridge area?" One of them said, "If not, let alone five days, it won't work even if we squat for five hundred days."
"Since my lord said yes, it must be," another said, "When have you ever seen your lord mishandle a case?"
"That's not true."
"That's it, we just go and squat, as long as we see people knocking them out and bringing them back, that's it."
"Then shall we go to Nanling or Dongling?"
"You are stupid. There are three of us, so we can just squat separately. If he were to be left alone, who among the three of us brothers would be afraid of him? Besides, we still have knives in our hands." Yamen A said: "If he doesn't
When we're alone, we just write down the location. We'll go back and ambush nearby. Usually, people like to collect firewood. People like to be in the same place. Since he went there last time, he will definitely go there next time."
The other two people felt that what he said made sense, so they put their hands on their shoulders and planned to go back and add up the total.
As a result, as soon as he left the courtyard gate, he was led quietly out through the back corner door by the servants guarding outside.
Only then did they remember that the county magistrate had said that this matter should be kept secret, so not only could they not talk about it outside, it was also best not to get together and leave the city separately.
Officer B could not help but complain in a low voice, "You are so careful, how can we still have spies in our county government?"
However, Yamen Officer A said thoughtfully: "You are not a spy, but don't forget that there are also Yamenmen in the county government who are very familiar with Dagongling. In this case, because they are familiar with each other, Your Excellency sent the first one
They went to investigate, thinking that they were familiar with each other and could be easily recognized, but you see..."
The three of them said nothing, but they also felt the anger of Magistrate Tang.
After all, they had followed Magistrate Tang for two years and knew that he usually looked smiling, but it was not easy to get angry.
There were only a few times when the whole county government was not trembling with heartbeats?
But this time Magistrate Tang was obviously angrier than before, because he didn't lose his temper and even smiled when talking to them.
The government officials who had been entangled in the three villages in Dagongling withdrew and began to investigate elsewhere. After two days, it seemed that they were sure that it was really safe.
The man lying in Dongling finally found one of the robbers, but there were two people around him, so he didn't dare to move.
Then the next day, the three of them squatted together in Dongling. Sure enough, as soon as the sun came out, three people went up the mountain to collect firewood, and one of them was the person in the portrait.
In order to confirm, Yamen A also took out the portraits and compared them again and again.
The three of them looked at each other, put away the portrait, and began to lie still behind the bushes.
After waiting for a long time, the three people finally separated a little, each of them found a tree and cut down the forked branches.
When Yamen A saw the robber climbing down the tree to pull the cut branches, he took a careful look at the two people who were busy on the other two trees.
Coincidentally, they were sitting on the tree with their backs to them, and the three of them were talking nonchalantly.
Yamen A then glanced at his friend and stepped forward with the knife in his hand. After thinking about it, he gently put the knife back into its sheath and slipped behind the robber, holding the knife in his hand.
As soon as the robber was squatting down, peeling off all the fallen leaves, and then tying up the branches, he noticed something strange behind him and quickly turned around, only to be slapped on the forehead by a scabbard...
He screamed subconsciously, but as soon as he made a sound, someone knocked him down and held his mouth...
He couldn't help but whine, kicking his legs and struggling.
As a result, someone lifted up his neck with great force, and then slashed his neck with a scabbard. He rolled his eyes in pain, but he still didn't faint.
The three government officials didn't expect him to be so resistant to beatings. Seeing that the man in the tree seemed to have noticed something, they quickly covered his mouth, one of them lifted his feet, and the other dragged the man behind the bushes.
Not knowing where he hit, the robber rolled his eyes and fainted.
The two people on the tree had already turned around. Seeing that there was no one behind them, they couldn't help shouting: "Lao San, Lao San, where did you go?"
The three people hiding behind the bushes were sweating profusely. The bushes were quite lush, but they were sitting on the tree at this time. As long as they stood up on the tree, they would definitely be able to see the four of them.
Yamen A could only hold his throat and reply vaguely, "I'm peeing..."
The one who turned around sat upright, turned his back to them, and shouted: "Hurry up, there is still little firewood at home. Our family has been delayed for several days, and it is getting cold before our eyes..."
The three government officials had already lifted up the robber and fled quickly.
The person on the tree finished chanting and heard no reply, so he felt something was wrong. The brother on another tree not far away also felt something was wrong, and shouted: "Brother, the third child didn't even reply?"
He immediately turned around and saw the third child quietly behind him, but there was still no sign of the third child. He couldn't help shouting: "The third child, the third child——"
There was only his echo in the woods, and otherwise there were only the chirping of birds.
The two brothers sitting in the tree turned pale and felt bad, so they quickly slipped down the tree to find someone.
The three government officials carried the man all the way to the official road, stopped a car, showed his ID, and then quickly returned to the city.
Mr. Tang was really clever. He said he could find people in Dongling and Nanling, and they were able to find people as expected.
The three of them excitedly dragged, oh, no, carried the robber back to the county government office.
Magistrate Tang saw the person they brought back and listened to their detailed description of how they captured the person.
After smiling with satisfaction, he praised: "Well done. You have worked hard these past few days. Let's go back and rest first. When I finish the case, I will give you credit."
The three people's eyes lit up, and they quickly bent down and said, "Sir, this is what a humble person should do."
These were just polite words. If Magistrate Tang really refused to ask for credit from them, they might not know how to complain.
County Magistrate Tang waited for them to leave, then stared at the robbers lying on the ground for a long time, then waved to the government servant who was standing by and was shocked and speechless, and said: "Go, the county captain
Please come and send someone to call the two village chiefs over at Dagong Ridge."
County Magistrate Tang paused and said, "Go to Jishi Hall again to invite Dr. Zhou here."
He smiled slightly and said: "It is difficult to cure a person who is in a coma. It just so happens that she is a family member of the victim, so it is best for her to come."
The yamen officer went away shivering. He always felt that Magistrate Tang was a little strange today. He seemed to be very angry, but also seemed to be very happy.
