Chapter 234 235 Arrest (Part 1)

Zhou Jia paced back and forth in the prison, "Where did they come from, did they originally live in Dayong? Alas! Ruyi is not here, or let Ruyi hang behind them and see where they live?"

Mr. Qian suggested: "Sir, I think you can send Yu Xianwei to go. Although he is a little confused, he still has no mistakes in official business. ."

"Okay, then you go and call Yu Xianwei and I will tell him, and then go to inform the officers and soldiers of the city to conduct strict investigations on suspicious persons."

"Hey!" Mr. Qian went to Yu Xianwei's signing room. Seeing Yu Xianwei lying drunk on the kang in the signing room, Mr. Qian shook his head and turned out of the signing room. .

went back and told Zhou Jia about Lieutenant Yu's drinking in the signing room, and sighed, "How did this person become like this, he was drunk every three days, what would it be like to be seen in the yamen?"

Zhou Jia thought for a while, then instructed Mr. Qian: "It's not a solution to continue like this, you and Mr. Tu tell him to solve Yu Xianwei. Also, in the future, people will watch Yu Xianwei's errands. , don't cause trouble."

Mr. Qian sighed: "That's the only way to do it."

When Xiaoshan returned to the inn, he saw that the hunters had disappeared, and Adong said to Xiaoshan, "Brother Xiaoshan, the few people you just left said you were going to sell goods. I saw them go to the city gate, but they still There is no check out, and the fur is not all taken away.”

Xiaoshan told Adong what Zhou Jia said, and soon two hunters who were disguised as merchants came and lived next to the hunter's guest room.

When it was about to get dark, the snow like goose feathers fell down one after another, and the sky and the earth became white and misty. Li Yu stood in front of the window and watched the yard gradually covered with white. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang were afraid of the heavy snowfall, so they pushed down the straw curtains that covered the greenhouse, went to the former yamen to find two yamen to set up the planks, and sent some finished Saqi horses to the yamen to help them. Rest assured to go back and rest.

Li Yu waited for a while. Seeing that Zhou Jia hadn't returned to Houya, he knew that he might be busy with official business again, so he went to bed and picked up wool and started to knit it.

Zhou Jia and Mr. Qian, Tu Dianshi took the yamen to the West City to check. The corners of the West City were all poor and down-to-earth families. The houses in this area were all thatched huts, and a heavy snowfall might collapse.

Zhou Jia took the people around the West City and told them to sweep the snow frequently and be alert at night to prevent the snow from falling for too long and piling up on the roof and crushing the house, causing casualties.

When the people saw Zhou Jia braved the heavy snow to check their houses, the mayor took the lead in bowing gratefully, "County magistrate, thank you very much, we will be careful, please go back when the road is slippery!"

"Okay, everyone, be careful, and report to the county office if there is a situation." Zhou Jia brought a few people back to the county office and instructed the yamen to take turns on duty at night. If there was a situation, report it quickly. He also supported Zhou Jia, and responded to Zhou Jia's orders in unison.

Zhou Jia and Mr. Qian returned to the Houya, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu quickly poured out the hot water on the kang stove. Zhou Jia washed up and went back to the house to see Li Yu fell asleep leaning against a quilt with a bed beside it. Zhou Jia picked up the children's socks that were knitting and put them in his hands, feeling that they were only half the size of his palm.

Zhou Jia gently took out the quilt on Li Yu's back. Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia in a daze and smiled softly, "You're back! Is the snow still falling? I don't know about Mr. and Awei. What happened on the mountain?"

Zhou Jia went to bed, pulled the quilt over Li Yu's shoulders, and comforted him softly, "It's still going down, Mr. and Awei are accompanied by a flood of water, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Yeah!" Li Yu kissed Zhou Jia's chin and fell asleep on his side. Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's sleeping face, and secretly worried that Mr. Wen and Yang Wei would not be able to go home in a short time due to such heavy snow. Thinking about the two hunters sent out, I wonder if the true identities of those hunters have been found out.

In the Shunxin Inn outside the city, three burly men with bearded faces sat on the kang with a fairly handsome man.

Several people were discussing in a low voice, and a man with big eyes, a flat nose and thick lips said, "Brother, we have come to investigate for so long, but we haven't found out where the Qingchuan garrison is stationed. I think there are the most officers and soldiers in the city. No more than 200. In my opinion, we might as well go into the county office and control the county magistrate, and Qingchuan City will fall into our hands."

A cross-eyed man echoed: "Yes! Big brother, I have checked, the county magistrate is a weak scholar, his wife has a big belly, there are only a few wives at home, and a lame old man guards the door, let's go in. Keep the county magistrate and wife under control, and the county magistrate has to obey us for the sake of his wife and children."

The handsome man retorted: "Acai, you two think too simply. Look at those civil servants who are not three wives and four concubines. A dead wife can be remarried, and a dead child will be given to him. Besides, the baby is still in the womb. , where is the love, you still want to use their children and daughter-in-law to control them."

Cross-eyed glanced at him, "I have already inquired, and I heard that this county magistrate does not have a concubine, and he is very good to his daughter-in-law." Cross-eyed smiled and looked at the other man, "Brother, what are you talking about? want."

The man called eldest brother had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He saw several people looking at him. After thinking about it for a long time, he said with a cautious face: "A Cai and Chunsheng's plan can be considered, but we won't be able to enter the city at this time. Go to the city to inquire carefully, if it is feasible, let's start tomorrow night, and it's not too early to go to rest!"

In the next room, Chu Kuai, Tu Hui and Ding Man held a bamboo tube against the wooden wall of the guest room and listened to the voices of the next door. However, the voice was too low and the language was a little different. , daughter-in-law, a few vague words, and after a while there was a rustling voice, and there was no movement. The two listened for another quarter of an hour, and then heard the sound of snoring and grinding their teeth from the next door. The two looked at each other and went back to the kang to lie down.

Zi Shi Mo Xue finally stopped. Early the next morning, Tu Hui found that the next door had already got up and was about to go out. Tu Hui said to Ding Man: "Brother Man, go back and tell Lord Zhou what you heard last night. Go and follow them." Ding Man nodded and left the inn to go back to the yamen.

Ding Man returned to the county government to see that Zhou Jia hadn’t arrived at the detention house, so he went straight to the office and asked to see Zhou Jia. After Yu Niang reported Ding Man’s request to see Zhou Jia, she brought Ding Man in. After seeing Zhou Jia, Ding Man told Zhou Jia what he heard last night, and said, "Sir, their voices are very low, so they will definitely not be hunters. Lord, let's just catch them back."
