Chapter 507 Yujiang County

County Magistrate Xu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he immediately said to County Captain Jiang: "You must arrest these two people and torture them quickly. You must ask Zou Hai about his fake household registration."

"Yes." Jiang County Lieutenant responded and immediately asked Luo Wu to arrest Li Shuli and Chi Shuli.

The two scribes' home was in an alley not far from the county government office. Luo Wu led his people straight to the two scribes' homes, and easily escorted the two scribes to the county government office.

On the way, Shuli Li and Shuli Chi asked in panic: "Luo Yamen, why did the county magistrate ask us to go to the county government? We are all good officials who work impartially, not cruel officials who wait for exploitation. The county magistrate wants us to go to the county government." Its clear.

Ever since Zou Xian Cheng was imprisoned, they, Zou Xian Chengs close scribes, have been confined at home by the county magistrate and cannot go anywhere.

They were very worried and wanted to exchange news, but there were government officials guarding the door of their homes, so their news could not be sent out at all. Even the food, meat and vegetables purchased at home had to be purchased by the government officials on their behalf.

Luo Wu's face had lost its youthful youthfulness and became resolute. When he heard this, he said without squinting: "Luo is just a small yamen servant. If the two scribes have any questions, they will meet the county officials later." Sir, just ask yourself."

This is so true that Secretary Li and Secretary Chi wanted to strangle him to death on the spot.

After a cup of tea, Luo Wu took Li Shuli and Chi Shuli to the county government execution room.

Li Shuli and Chi Shuli almost fainted from fright, jumped up and said: "Luo Wu, didn't you say that the county magistrate summoned us? Why did you bring us to the torture chamber? What do you want to do?"

The accompanying government officials had already dragged the two clerks, Li and Chi, into the execution room door. Luo Wu slammed the execution room door, turned around and said, "The magistrate has said that you two will be tortured. We are just following orders."

"Use, torture! The county magistrate wants to torture us?" Clerk Chi was so frightened that his feet weakened, but he pretended to be tough and said: "We are county officials, and we get the salary from the court. You can't torture us casually. , this is against the criminal law!

Luo Wu smiled and said to the two of them: "Li Shuli, Chi Shuli, are you not sure whether you have violated the criminal laws of Dachu?"

Fortunately, both of them have good memories. After checking the thirty-four household registrations registered by the Prime Minister of Zou County several times, they finally pulled out three household registrations.

"It seems that these are the three cards. At that time, Zou Xiancheng said that there were several slaves in the family who wanted to be released and new household registrations should be obtained for them. But everyone knows that this kind of rhetoric is just an excuse." The two scribes said. Having been in this business for a long time, I know some things. Many officials and wealthy people like to use this trick to hide some of their family wealth.

County Magistrate Xu got the three household registrations and saw that one of them belonged to the Kang family of Zhongzhou. He was overjoyed: "The Kang family of Zhongzhou is here. These three household registrations must be correct."

But the remaining two are a bit far away, and one of them is even in Jiangnan. Now Im looking for it, and I dont know if I can catch anyone.

But we must send people to arrest him no matter what, we cannot let Zou Hai escape.

"Jiang County Lieutenant, without further ado, please quickly lead people to arrest Zou Hai according to the address on the household registration." County Magistrate Xu said excitedly: "Don't worry, I will write to Magistrate Liang and General Guo, and they will Help us, this matter of arresting people will not be hindered."

Zou Jiang did not speak, but frowned and stared at Secretary Chi... When Secretary Li confessed, he noticed with sharp eyes that Secretary Chi seemed to have something wrong, as if he had something to say but was afraid to say it.

Qin Sanlang also noticed it. He took out the knife, pointed it at Clerk Chi's neck, and asked in a deep voice: "What else do you know? Tell me!"

Secretary Chi trembled with fright and said subconsciously: "I, I, I said, Tong Laosan of the Tong family in the county once spent money to ask me to apply for a new household registration. He got it in Baihe Town. I saw that the household registration was done by him. It was the Tong familys hometown, and the money given was high, so I went to the cashier... But a few days later, I saw Tong Laosan drinking with a man in Futai Building, and they seemed to be talking about household registration. At that time I kept an eye on it and asked a few beggars to follow the man, but they found that the man entered the Zou house through the back door of the Zou house!"

Now that I think about it, that man should be Zou Hai.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu was overjoyed and immediately said to Master Tian: "Hurry up and check the register to see where the owner of this household registration has moved to."

Definitely no longer in Baihe Town, Tianfu County.

Master Tian and Master Yu hurriedly led the scribes to search for the household registration booklet of Baihe Town, and found it in less than an hour.

"The head of the household is Sun Dazhu. He is fifty years old. He lost his wife. He has a son named Sun Tianxi. Three years after settling in Baihe Town, the family moved to Yujiang County and their household registration was transferred there." Master Yu said while holding the book.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
