It's ten minutes late at night, in the county government's back house.
The elder had already gone to bed, but in a dazed sleep, he vaguely heard someone shouting softly in his ear.
"Master, master, I have something urgent to report!" The voice was somewhat familiar.
The elder didn't want to pay attention, but the voice was very persistent.
After the two sides were in a stalemate for several minutes, the lady became impatient first. She pushed the person beside her pillow hard and said, "Mr. sir, someone is looking for you!"
The elder frowned, sat up impatiently, and shouted, "Why are you disturbing my dream?"
"Sir, the Jiaofang Department sent someone over and said that they found a guy who spent money lavishly, so he specially called the soldiers on duty at night to report together."
When he heard the word "Guan Yin", the elder suddenly became aware of it.
In recent times, the theft of money from the treasury has almost become a worry for him.
Although a suspect had been caught during the day, no one dared to draw a conclusion until the stolen money was fully recovered.
If you have no other clues, then of course you must try your best to pin this case on this person.
But now another person has been found to be showing off, which is naturally good news.
The joy in the old man's heart flashed away. He calmed down a little, grabbed the clothes next to him and put them on quickly, put on his shoes and pushed out the door.
Outside the door, my slave is still waiting respectfully.
Seeing the master appear, he immediately bowed and saluted.
"Okay, okay, don't do this at night. You said that the Jiaofang Secretary specially sent someone to report the news, but did you tell me who this person is?"
"I told you!" The slave from my hometown nodded and spoke clearly: "The man said that he looks very much like Dr. Xu Xianxu from the Security Hall!"
The elder was slightly startled: "Why is it Xu Xian again? Didn't he already be arrested during the day? Why did another one appear? Could it be someone with the same name?"
The slave from home blinked and shook his head: "I don't know about that, but there may be people with the same name, but they are all from the security hall, right?"
After he reminded him, the elder also discovered the blind spot, and he immediately frowned.
After pondering for a moment, he said calmly: "There must be something strange about this matter. In this case, you go ahead and pass my order to the soldiers on duty to gather two teams of people. The police patrol tonight will lead the team and quickly dispatch to arrest this person!"
"
"Don't care if it's Xu Xian or not. You'll know after the first trial if you catch him! Tell the Jiaofang Division that you must not alert the snake, this is a serious crime!"
"Yes, sir!"
The slave from home nodded and accepted the order, turned around and ran out.
Not long after, I heard noises in front of me, and pieces of fire were lit, and the light shone as bright as day.
Then I heard the door being pushed open, and a group of people rushed out of the county office noisily and headed in the direction of Jiaofangsi.
After this incident, the elder lost all sleep.
He put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth around the stone table in the backyard. As he walked, he was thinking about the incident in his mind. However, no matter how he thought about it, he felt weird. Two Xu Xians appeared in front and behind him. It was obvious that someone was up to something.
As he thought about it, he couldn't sit still. He clapped his hands and asked someone to come over and change clothes.
He also asked the housekeeper to teach a few of his entourage, who were rich and powerful, and walked to the county office in front of him, and then went straight to the prison.
He wanted to see which of these two Xu Xians was real!
On the other side, the peaceful Jiaofangsi was suddenly invaded by a group of officers and soldiers.
Each of these guys held a torch, and the fire shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire house as bright as day.
The leading detective held a knife in his hand, scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, and directly ordered the entire homestead to be surrounded.
Then he led a team of men and a small official and rushed out to arrest people.
It was already late at night, those who were supposed to be drinking had already finished their meals, those who were supposed to be singing were tired of singing, and most of the overnight guests had already returned to their rooms with the help of my sister.
Calculating the time, even the most tossing guest has almost laid down.
Therefore, when the officers and soldiers rushed in, apart from disturbing some servants, few of the young masters were frightened.
A group of people rushed to the second floor. Several people worked together to kick open the door of the show room and rushed in like wolves and tigers.
Then there was a commotion inside, with some people shouting and some struggling.
Not long after, two burly men suppressed a disheveled young man and came out.
The guy was so drunk that he smelled of alcohol all over his body, but even so, it was still growing.
The officers and soldiers had received instructions before they came, knowing that the people who could stay here were either rich and powerful, or people with backgrounds.
So I didn't dare to offend too much.
On the other hand, the officers and soldiers who rushed into the room to search were all smiling and holding several large silver ingots in their hands.
Xu Xian was quickly pressed in front of the policeman.
The policeman stretched out his hand and pinched Xu Xian's chin, raised his face forcefully, and looked him up and down for a moment under the firelight, feeling even more surprised.
This... is indeed Dr. Xu from the Security Hall. But this afternoon, I also went to the Security Hall and arrested Doctor Xu with the brothers. Why did another one appear here?
Is it possible that Dr. Xu used the money and was released from prison?
But something is wrong. If this is really the case, did the great master give the order to arrest people again?
The policeman couldn't figure it out, so he grabbed a silver ingot from his man's arms, turned it over and looked at it, and found that it indeed had the seal of the Qiantang County Treasury. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his voice and said: "It is indeed this thief. Brothers, please watch closely and escort him back to the county office! Don't be careless!"
"yes!"
His subordinates rushed to take the exam.
The policeman walked at the end, and after the officers and soldiers rushed out of the compound, he grabbed a trusted person, lowered his voice, and explained in this way before leaving the door.
The man stayed in the yard and waited for a while until the officers and soldiers disappeared. Then he went out, checked the direction a little, and quickly disappeared in another direction.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of Li's house.
The door was opened a crack. Bai Fu, the gatekeeper, was dressed as an old man who was working. He was wearing a coat. He stared at the guy in police clothes standing outside the door with half a face and asked: "Who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
?”
Without saying a word, the man thrust a note into Bai Fu's hand, took a final step back, cupped his hand, turned around and left.
Soon it had faded into the night and gradually disappeared.
Bai Fu was stunned for a moment. After closing the door, he opened the note and took a look, his expression suddenly changed.
He didn't dare to neglect and hurried to the backyard.
After a while, the note fell into the hands of Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen.
The two of them hadn't slept at all, waiting for the plan to develop.
After seeing this note, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Xiao Qing snorted softly: "Then the action was quite fast. It means he knows the situation. Otherwise, I will make him look good next time we meet!"
Bai Suzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook her head gently: "Ask Bai Fu to inform your brother-in-law about this!"
Xiaoqing was surprised: "Why did you notify him?"
"If you don't notify him, how can you clear your husband's suspicion?"
Bai Suzhen stood up: "Since there has been such a big commotion on the Taoist side, the county government should also react and notify Qing Gui and Hong Gui to let them act according to the situation. At the critical moment, they can get the husband out first!"
"I understand, sister!" Xiaoqing nodded and took the order.
