"Well, you arranged it well! However, I estimate that the two murderers may no longer be near your Cuizhu Village!" Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment and said.
"These two murderers are desperadoes who commit murder, arson, and all kinds of evil. They must be taken down as soon as possible, otherwise they don't know how much trouble they will cause. Since they have a grudge against the Sun family, they might also be against me.
The family is in trouble!" Mr. Zhou's words are infinitely close to the truth.
"Well, what should we do? Mr. Zhou, your family has a big business, but we have to guard against it!" After hearing this, Li Zheng couldn't help but feel anxious for Mr. Zhou.
"It doesn't matter, my Zhou family will definitely send people to protect them closely. What I'm afraid of is that the innocent people will suffer. The Wu family is ruthless, and they might kill again at some point!" Mr. Zhou's words made Zhuqing respect him.
.
This is like what the richest man in the county said, how responsible and responsible!
"Old man, let me go to the county government office with you. Let's go directly to the county magistrate. Tell him about the situation and ask him to send people to arrest him throughout the county. We must arrest the third child of the Wu family as soon as possible.
Tiger and the others!" Mr. Zhou stood up and told Ashin: "Hurry and prepare the carriage, I have to go to the county office! Also, call the chief steward, I have something to tell him!"
"Yes, sir!" Ashin nodded and hurried away. He felt frightened when he heard the news that the third son of the Wu family, Scared Tiger, actually resisted arrest and escaped.
After a while, the capable-looking butler of the Zhou family, Zhou Degui, came over.
"Sir, do you have anything to ask me about?" When he saw Mr. Zhou, he immediately bowed and asked.
Mr. Zhou nodded, briefly explained what Zhuqing and the others had said, and then told him: "From now on, you ask the nursing home to strengthen its vigilance, and all people coming in and out of each room must be reported! In addition, you
Go and inform the eldest lady, for the sake of safety, the female relatives at home should not go out!"
Zhou Degui's expression became solemn when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'll do it now!"
Then, he remembered something and said to Master Zhou with a troubled face: "Sir, the third master came back the day before yesterday. He and the third wife had an argument again for some reason. The third wife came back in anger.
My parents’ family has gone, should we also inform the third wife and them?”
Mr. Zhou frowned when he heard this, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "No matter what, I must tell them. You have someone go to the third wife's natal house to report it!"
Zhou Degui nodded, and then said: "By the way, sir, the eldest young master went to Yanyu Pavilion today!"
Mr. Zhou frowned and asked, "Did Old Ding follow you?"
Zhou Degui nodded: "Yes, Lao Ding is following!"
Mr. Zhou looked relieved when he heard this: "That's good! I can rest assured that I have Old Ding following me!"
Then he said to Li Zheng and Zhu Qing: "Let's go, the magistrate must know about this matter as soon as possible!"
So Zhuqing and Li Zheng followed Master Zhou and got on his family's carriage and went directly to the county government office.
When I heard that Master Zhou had arrived at the county government office, Changshan County Magistrate Guan Dingzhong personally received him.
The Zhou family is not only the richest man in Changshan County, but Mr. Zhou's brother, Mr. Tuesday, has now been promoted to the rank of fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and is said to be highly trusted by the emperor of the day.
Guan Dingzhong, a small seventh-grade county magistrate, of course wants to have a good relationship with the Zhou family.
Before Mr. Zhou could speak, Magistrate Guan had already said to him apologetically: "Mr. Zhou, are you here because of the Wu family's affairs? This county did not expect that such a situation would occur. Now the Wu family's murderers
The county has sent people to arrest them all over the county for fleeing. All the county government officials have been dispatched. I think it won’t be long before they can be arrested and brought to justice!"
Hearing what Magistrate Guan said, Mr. Zhou nodded: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate knows that this is the reason why I came here today. This morning, Li Zheng and two other villagers from Cuizhu Village came to report to me. The Wu family
The third scarred tiger appeared in the area of Cuizhu Village yesterday evening and knocked this girl unconscious."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Guan looked at Li Zheng and Zhu Qing. Li Zheng quickly pulled Zhu Qing to kneel down and salute the Magistrate: "I've seen the county magistrate before!"
County Magistrate Guan waved his hands to them and motioned them to stand up and speak: "Everyone, get up! Tell me carefully what happened last night!"
So Li Zheng rubbed his hands and said to him nervously: "If you go back to the county, it was Qingya last night. When this little girl went home, she met the two murderers. They forced her to ask someone to write
Qingya refused to tell where the Sun Fucheng's family was, and she desperately called for help, so they knocked her unconscious.
The little old man heard the news from her mother and received news from Ping'an Town that the third son of the Wu family had escaped, so he arranged for the villagers to go out to search for him and led people to patrol and guard him all night.
Fortunately, this girl was lucky and was not beaten to death by them. She went home on her own this morning.
The third child of the Wu family may have discovered that our village was heavily defended, so they failed to enter the village.
I wanted to tell the Yamen the news as soon as possible, but I was worried that the news would be leaked, so I went to find Mr. Zhou!"
Magistrate Guan nodded after hearing this and cast an approving look at Li Zheng: "Are you Li Zheng of Cuizhu Village? Well, you did a good job!"
Li Zheng looked proud and excited when he heard this. This was the first time he talked to the county magistrate, and he was actually praised for the first time. This made him so excited!
Then Magistrate Guan asked Zhuqing: "Little girl, tell me in detail what it was like when you saw the scarred tiger that day!"
Zhuqing then told in detail the story of how he returned to the village, met Scar Tiger and the others and interrogated him, and was knocked unconscious by them.
When she spoke, she was unhurried, articulate, and explained things clearly, which made Magistrate Guan marvel.
"Little girl, you are very courageous! If you really catch the murderer this time, the county will give you a credit!"
As he spoke, he saw Rimasa's eager eyes, smiled slightly, and added: "Of course, Rimasa, you will be rewarded for your ability to protect the village!"
Li Zheng almost grinned behind his ears after hearing this.
Magistrate Guan said this, of course, in large part because of Mr. Zhou's face. Zhuqing and Li Zheng were able to find Mr. Zhou, which must mean that they have a close relationship with the Zhou family.
If the third son of the Wu family is captured and brought to justice this time, it will be regarded as a good thing for him to eliminate harm for the people. It will definitely be of great benefit to his official reputation. If he really gets the benefit, he will naturally
I will not hesitate to give some benefits to these two people who came to report the news.
Zhuqing did not expect that such a good thing would happen to her, but she still followed Li Zheng and respectfully saluted Magistrate Guan: "Thank you, Lord Magistrate!"
Immediately, the county magistrate of Guan County gathered his men and ordered them to go to Cuizhu Village.
