Chapter 613: Walking
into a trap Seeing this, Ge Wu quickly confessed and laughed, "It's just taking money and doing things for others. There's really no need to risk my life for it."
"I didn't want to take this job originally, but I have no choice. My family is poor, my mother is in poor health, and the annual medicine expenses can overwhelm me. I have three children, the oldest is only four years old, and they all need to eat. My wife thinks I am incompetent and can't make money, and she wants to divorce me every day. This is my last resort. I have to accept the thirty taels of silver from Cao Jiande and sell my life for him."
"So, it was Cao Jiande who instructed you to do it?" Zhuang Qingning asked back with raised eyebrows.
"Who else could it be if not that guy?" Ge Wu curled his lips. "Don't you think about it? The whole county sees you as a thorn in their side and wants to burn you to ashes. There is really no one else except him."
"This guy knew that I had been a thief and had done some debt collection for others in the past. He also knew that I was short of money in the past, so he came to me and promised me a lot of benefits. He even took out thirty taels of silver and said that if I could do this job well, he would give me another twenty taels and let me go home to buy a few more acres of land and live a good life."
"I just happened to be short of money, so I agreed to the job and got into the weaving workshop as a weaver to get a feel for the workshop. Then I found an opportunity and burned the workshop down."
"Originally I didn't want to act so quickly, because you talked to me during the day, and acting at night would seem too suspicious, but Cao Jiande urged me, and I was also afraid that if you were too suspicious and chased me out of the workshop, all my efforts would be wasted, so I acted tonight."
Ge Wu did not lie and told the whole story clearly.
The matter was clear and straightforward. Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly and asked the men to take Ge Wu to the yamen.
Someone reported a case late at night, especially an attempted arson. Xu Zhengping took it very seriously and handed the matter over to Ding Gaochang for trial overnight.
Ding Gaochang sent Shi Bao and others to quickly capture Cao Jiande, the mastermind behind the incident.
At this time, Cao Jiande had prepared four delicious side dishes and was drinking wine leisurely.
From time to time, I would look out the window.
The night outside was extremely quiet at this moment. Only occasionally could one hear the barking of stray dogs in the county town. Especially at this moment, the crescent moon was hanging in the sky, making the night seem even more tranquil.
But soon this silence will be broken by noise.
A fire is a big deal. There will definitely be gongs and shouts, asking everyone to fetch water to put out the fire. It will definitely be very lively then.
It is such a happy thing to drink and watch others in a panic, and to see that your mortal enemy, who has always been so arrogant and looked down on everyone, is now panic-stricken and unable to cry.
In particular, he had already heard someone outside shouting "Hurry up" and the sound of hurried footsteps.
Here it comes, here it comes, the time for revenge has come.
After being humiliated for so long, I can finally hold my head high and take a good look at the fun in other people's homes.
Cao Jiande could no longer contain his inner joy and was no longer willing to wait at home. He threw the wine glass in his hand on the table, walked quickly across the yard, and prepared to open the door to go out and take a good look at the excitement.
The door opened with a "whoosh" and Cao Jiande walked out, but suddenly fell into Shi Bao's arms.
Just now, Shi Bao and his men arrived at Cao Jiande's door, and were preparing to discuss what to say when knocking on the door, so as to prevent Cao Jiande from absconding for fear of crime.
But before they could discuss it, the door of Cao Jiande's house was suddenly opened, and a figure rushed out and bumped into him.
When Shi Bao saw clearly that the person coming was none other than Cao Jiande, he was stunned for a moment.
He had heard the term "walking into a trap" before, but Shi Bao had always felt that no one would do such a thing. After all, no one would be so stupid.
But seeing Cao Jiande now, Shi Bao felt that he not only believed this sentence, but also felt that this sentence could be taken a step further.
Can't wait to fall into the trap!
After I go back, I must talk about this matter with others so that everyone can broaden their horizons.
I just don't know whether Cao Jiande has water in his brain or his brain is stuck in the door to do such a thing.
But no matter what the reason is, now that this guy has been caught, he can go back and report.
Shi Bao grabbed Cao Jiande and called the yamen runners next to him. They tied Cao Jiande up in a lightning speed and were about to take him to the county government office.
Cao Jiande finally came to his senses and struggled desperately, "What are you doing? You want to kidnap someone in broad daylight? What did I do wrong that you are taking me away?"
"First, it's dark now, not broad daylight. Second, don't you know what you have done wrong?"
Shi Bao was very annoyed with people who were still stubborn until the end, and did not want to say too much to Cao Jiande. He just asked the people around him to cover Cao Jiande's mouth and took him back to the county government office.
Here, Zhuang Yutian was still feeling grateful that Zhuang Qingning was able to discover Ge Wu's evil intentions in time and avoid a disaster.
This disaster not only affected the weaving workshop, but also the people around it.
"But I never expected that Cao Jiande would be so insidious." Zhuang Yutian was very angry.
"That's why his business can't succeed." Zhuang Qingning laughed and said, "Once this person only focuses on others, he naturally won't have much energy to pay attention to his own business."
"Yeah." Zhuang Yutian nodded, and secretly made up his mind that he would be very cautious in hiring people and in dealing with possible dangers in daily life, and must not make any mistakes again.
After tidying up the workshop and arranging the workers to do their own things, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yutian went back to rest.
Zhuang Yutian went home, but Zhuang Qingning did not go home tonight because he wanted to catch Ge Wu in the act that night, so he stayed in an inn in the county town.
It was late at night, the matter was settled, and Zhuang Qingning felt extremely relaxed. After washing up, he went to bed.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the random task, take precautions before it happens. ]
[The host successfully prevented a fire that could have caused huge damage to himself and even the neighbors. He has received the mission reward. Atlas: Bamboo Water Gun.]
As soon as a certain Wu finished speaking, the item appeared in Zhuang Qingning's mind and was automatically stored in the system's storage compartment.
Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. I wish all lovers in the world will finally get married~ (End of this chapter)
