Chapter 40 The Hu Family's Three Members Were Arrested
At this time, Liang Wei, who was being talked about by Emperor Jingxuan, had already arrived in Huaiping County. As soon as he met with County Magistrate Gao, he heard his subordinates report that the three members of the Hu family had appeared in Yangshan Town.
Without waiting for County Magistrate Gao to say anything, Liang Wei stepped forward and said, "Master Gao, I'll go to Yangshan Town."
Gao Hongfei was more than happy to do so. He was already extremely busy here and couldn't get away, and there wasn't enough manpower.
It was okay in other places. Everyone in Huaiping County knew where Shangliu Village was. Not to mention the people in this county, many people from outside were rushing here to ask him about the sky curtain.
And the situation in Shangliu Village is already very chaotic.
"If you personally go and arrest the person, there will be no mistakes. I would love to have you do that." County Magistrate Gao was grateful, "But I have another unwelcome request."
"Just speak directly, Magistrate Gao."
"Shangliu Village is now a mixed bag of people and snakes, and the appearance of Tianmu is related to Chaochao. I am worried that someone will take advantage of the situation and use Shangliu Village to cause trouble." Although the matter in Yangshu Town has been resolved, it has only been suppressed temporarily. There must be some people who are not convinced in secret. Who knows what they can do.
Liang Wei understood, "I will send someone to keep an eye on Shangliu Village. His Majesty has given instructions, and Mr. Gao will just act according to circumstances."
He brought a lot of people with him on this trip, and according to His Majesty, he could call on people from the capital at any time if necessary.
Liang Wei didn't delay any longer and quickly led his men straight to Yangshan Town.
Yangshan Town is not big, so it is easy for strangers to be discovered if they enter.
When the three members of the Hu family were staying in the inn, they happened to curse at the sky and were heard by someone. It was hard for them not to be targeted.
They checked out of the hotel early this morning and wanted to find a house to rent temporarily.
Hu Lai Fu meant that they should not look for them in the town. After all, they were still avoiding people, and they would be too conspicuous in the town. Who knows, they might run into people from Zhengjia Village in Shangliu Village and recognize them.
He wanted to find a place to stay in a remote village under Yangshan Town. After all, he had money in his hands, so he could find an excuse, or even bribe someone to make up an excuse of visiting relatives, and stay in the mixed village.
It is not easy to meet acquaintances in remote villages, and it is difficult to be found by others.
Zheng was reluctant to go. None of the six villages in the upper reaches were remote villages. They were not very convenient and not as convenient as living in the town. Moreover, it was difficult to buy something in a remote village, and peddlers might not go there.
But on second thought, it made sense that they couldn't make a big fuss in front of them, it was better to keep a low profile. It was just that hiding from here and there made her feel very uncomfortable.
Especially when she heard Chao Chao mention the jade pendant, she secretly regretted, "If I had known earlier, I should have sold the jade pendant earlier and I could have made some money."
Hu Laifu glanced at her and said, "What's the point of saying this now? Don't we still have a ring in our hands? When the storm has passed, we can sell the ring and get a lot of money. In fact, we should thank your mother for keeping it."
Although Hu Laifu and Zheng had a certain foresight to know that they had to flee Shangliu Village, they obviously did not realize the seriousness of the matter. They did not know that in addition to Shangliu Village and the Zheng family, the imperial court was also looking for them.
They also think that when Tianmu’s attention is not so high, they can still live a good life with money.
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard Jian Yunsang mention the word "official" from the sky.
The couple was stunned, stopped in unison and looked up at the sky.
An official? The dead girl's aunt is an official? How is this possible?
Zheng gritted her teeth and said, "How can a woman be an official?" In this case, the dead girl's father must not be a son-in-law.
As a brother, it is impossible for him to marry into another family if his sister is an official.
Thinking of this, Zheng became more and more unbalanced, "Why does she get all the good things?"
Just as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard from behind. Zheng turned around curiously and saw that the owner of the inn where they stayed yesterday had surrounded them with his men.
"Sir, it's them. They are suspicious and strange. I even heard their son scold the little girl in the sky, saying she's a jinx. They are definitely not good people."
Hu Laifu and the other man were horrified and shouted at him, "You, what nonsense are you talking about? When did we scold Tianmu? We were scolding the child because he was naughty. You heard it wrong."
"That's right. Just because we bargained for a few words when we stayed at the inn, you are still holding a grudge against us and even brought people to cause trouble for us. This is too much. As an innkeeper, this is how you do business. I wonder who will dare to stay at your house in the future."
When she said this, Zheng raised her voice significantly, intentionally so that passers-by could hear.
As expected, many people stopped to look at them. Liang Wei frowned. Seeing that the shopkeeper next to him was not convinced and wanted to argue, he raised his hand to stop him and asked Hu Laifu in a deep voice, "Are you Hu Laifu's family of three from Shangliu Village?"
Hu Laifu was startled and looked at Zheng. Although they didn't understand what was going on, their natural sense of crisis made them immediately shake their heads and deny, "No, we are not from Shangliu Village."
Liang Wei squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, and naturally knew that they were lying.
He fixed his eyes on Hu Baodun and asked him, "What's your father's name? Where does he live?"
Zheng almost wanted to cover her son's mouth immediately, but the people behind Liang Wei blocked her.
Liang Wei had a strong and cold aura, and Hu Baodun was a little scared. He said very honestly, "My name is Hu Baodun, my father is Hu Laifu, and my family lives in Shangliu Village."
Liang Wei nodded and waved his hand, "Take it away."
The people behind him rushed over, tied him up, gagged him, and dragged him away.
The innkeeper stood there in astonishment. What did he hear just now? Shangliu Village? The three members of the Hu family? Is it the family that Chao Chao mentioned on the sky curtain? Is it the family that abused her?
Great, no wonder they kept cursing at Tianmu, it turns out there is this kind of relationship.
This family is really a bunch of bastards. They bullied a little girl like this and then turned around and scolded her.
The shopkeeper was terrified. They were just a small inn, and they didn't ask about the guests' household registration when they checked in. They just had to pay. So when Hu Laifu said his name was Wang Dashan, he didn't ask much. Fortunately, he was more cautious. Seeing that people were so rude to Tianmu, he was afraid that he was a rioter from the neighboring Yangshu Town. When the guests checked out, he stared at them and reported them to the police. Finally, he did a good thing.
Sure enough, when Liang Wei took the man away, he rewarded him with ten taels of silver for his meritorious report.
