Chapter 66 Another Case
Looking at the dilapidated village in front of him, Pu Chang showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.
I was surprised.
Why did he chase her all the way to the destination? He failed to show his courtesy and ended up looking really stupid...
At this time.
Cheng Wan came over on horseback, heard the conversation between the two, and slapped his thigh in annoyance.
"It's all my fault that we got tripped up by those filthy fellows! Luckily, Miss, we didn't run into any bad guys along the way. When Master Xue comes back, I'll be able to give him an explanation."
Hearing this, Chen Chunxing still smiled shyly.
The attitude is very fair.
Pu Chang cursed Cheng Wan in his heart.
He clearly didn't do anything, but when he said it, it was like he was confessing something! What the hell was he confessing?
An idea suddenly occurred to Pu Chang, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Cheng is absolutely right. Fortunately, Miss Shen was blessed by God and didn't meet those filthy guys. If she had met them...it would have been a shame if she hadn't met them."
"This matter is of no small importance and must be thoroughly investigated! I was just finding it difficult, but since Brother Cheng has taken the initiative to take on the task of investigating, I would like to thank you in advance! I believe that when Master Xue returns, we will get a satisfactory explanation."
Cheng Wan was stunned.
I thought over what I just said several times...but I couldn't figure out which sentence meant I was investigating the case!
He smiled wryly, "It's my honor to be able to relieve Lord Xue's worries. However, according to the rules, the investigation of this case is not under the jurisdiction of our militia squad. If we overstep our bounds... I'm afraid Brother Tian will be unhappy when he returns."
The head of the arrest squad was Tian Wanglin.
Now he is traveling with Xue Yongan to visit various places.
Those naked men he met in the forest... didn't look normal, so Cheng Wancai didn't want to take on this troublesome job.
But Pu Chang was unwilling to let him go.
"We're all working for the county government, so why wouldn't we be happy? In my opinion, Brother Tian should be grateful to me."
Cheng Wan gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.
He won't fall for it!
The four squads of yamen runners each have their own duties. The militia squad is responsible for guarding the warehouse, etc. If they suddenly run to investigate a case, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the police squad?
Besides, this case is obviously an unsolved one... Don't end up offending people and getting into trouble.
"Actually, there's nothing much to investigate. It's just some hooligans getting together to do something dirty. In this cold winter, naked, who can force them to take off their clothes unless they want to?"
"Since Miss Shen hasn't been disturbed, we might as well arrest them all and lock them up for three to five days. Then, when Brother Tian comes back, we'll know if there are any problems after the first trial!"
They are all old men who have worked in the yamen for many years. Who doesn’t know who?
Cheng Wan thought of a solution in an instant, and did not forget to ask Chen Chunxing for his opinion.
"What do you say, Miss Shen?"
"If you're still angry... or scared, let's keep them locked up for a while longer! Those people look familiar to me, and they're not serious people. Locking them up will benefit the people, so please don't feel bad about it."
Chen Chunxing, who had been listening to the two people chatting about the same things for a long time, was feeling bored. Hearing their voices, he nodded with a stiff smile.
"Everything is up to the official."
But I was feeling very anxious.
What does "naked" mean? What does "being dirty" mean? It's not as exciting as she thought...
Chen Chunxing could no longer maintain his smile. He raised his head slightly and glared at the male ghost sitting in mid-air pretending to be Maitreya Buddha.
I really want to pull it down and ask clearly!
Because Luo Jinzhi was locked up in jail and could no longer do anything new, when she left Xue's house today, she called this unlucky guy who had nothing to do.
After leaving the city, Chen Chunxing had guessed that someone would be following him, so he asked him to solve the problem.
As for how it was solved, she didn't see...
The mule cart kept moving forward steadily until it slowly stopped when the person it was supposed to meet arrived.
Now, after hearing the vicious words from the yamen runner, Chen Chunxing fell silent, coughed lightly, and changed the subject in a slightly artificial manner.
"Hey, that looks like my grandma? Why are all of you here at the village entrance? Are you here to pick me up?"
There was surprise in the clear voice.
The two arguing foremen couldn't help but look towards the village.
Sure enough, I saw a large group of people walking towards this side.
The leader was an old woman. Although there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her temples were still white. She looked like a capable person.
"The old lady and Miss Shen look like a family. She must have been a beauty when she was young..."
Pu Chang rushed forward first, but the compliment he blurted out sounded unpleasant to Diao.
What does it mean to look like a family?
She rolled her eyes, finally seeing the officer's uniform clearly. She swallowed the curse that was about to come out of her mouth and turned it into a fake smile: "Your Excellency's arrival is just in time. It saves us from making an extra trip!"
Pu Chang was stunned.
Before I could ask, I saw the crowd move aside, revealing several men in black who were tied up in the middle.
They were crushed to a pulp, yet they still refused to give in and shouted, "How dare you, these country bumpkins, go against Liuren City! I urge you to release them immediately, or tomorrow at midnight, your village will be annihilated!"
What an arrogant attitude!
The villagers were so angry that they picked up wooden sticks and hit them a few more times.
"I've seen thieves before, but I've never seen a thief with such a big mouth!"
"I just don't understand. How can you be so confident when you're such a coward that you're willing to steal from our village?"
"Sir, quickly take these thieves back and investigate them thoroughly! They just claimed to have someone behind them! I guess it's some beggar leader..."
Chen Chunxing raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly.
Suddenly I felt that these people were quite cute - and most importantly, quite funny.
However, Pu Chang and Cheng Wan both changed their expressions.
The villagers didn’t know about Liuren City, so how could they not know about it?
"You call these people thieves. May I ask, what did they steal?"
It’s no wonder Cheng Wan asked, it’s really about this village... the house next to him has half of its wall missing!
It's really shameless that the people from Liuren City could steal here.
The villagers looked at each other, then moved aside, leaving Diao alone.
Diao rolled her eyes again and gave a fake smile: "Sir, these people sneaked into the village at night and were caught by my family. When asked what they were doing, they refused to tell us and kept threatening us. Even if they are not thieves, they are people with bad intentions!"
"Yes, yes! We all heard Yang Yi yelling for help! He's such a big guy, and he didn't call for help when he encountered bandits on the way here, but he actually yelled for help last night! He must have seen something horrific!"
Seeing Yang Yimu being pushed out of the crowd with a sullen face, Chen Chunxing turned his back with his shoulders shaking.
Today's play is really well coordinated.
"I woke up at night and thought about the wasteland at home that hadn't been reclaimed yet. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, so I went out to work..."
Yang Yi recounted the incident very slowly, his tone so calm that it didn't sound like he was encountering a criminal, but rather like he was being tortured to extract a confession.
"Who would have thought that when I passed by the village, I saw these people coming out of the village chief's house..."
"As soon as they saw me, they started shouting and yelling, 'I had no choice but to call for help...'"
"Then everyone came out... and only then was it taken down..."
The tied-up man suddenly struggled violently. Even though he was pinned to the ground by the villagers, he still tried to raise his head - to take a good look at what the person who could say such shameless words looked like!
