Chapter 1207 Returning to Fu County to Take Revenge ([-])

A head catcher stood up and carefully pulled out a burning firewood from the bonfire and held it over the prisoner's head, "The servants of the big local families have different clothes, but they have a common habit of marking their clothes. The Chen family The mark of the subordinate should be in the middle of the shoulder blade on the back, and there is a dark embroidered word Chen."

Two yamen servants reached out to help, and turned the servant over to expose his back. Under the light of the firewood, there was indeed a faintly visible Chen character in the middle of the shoulder blades on the back, which was the same color as the material.

"The clothes can be taken off and changed, but the clothes alone cannot prove his relationship with the Chen family."

The county lord frowned. The servants of the rich family colluded with water bandits to rob and kill passing ships. This crime is not a casual joke. Once the evidence is conclusive, it will be a stain on the place he governs, which cannot be washed away.

"It's easy. The servants must know each other, especially the confidant servants are the face of the master's family outside. Aren't the outsiders at the moment also the managers of each family with status? Take them out and let them recognize them. "

Wei Hong didn't seem to understand the meaning of the county official's words. He was a soldier, so he didn't care if the magistrate felt bitter. As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who came with him squeezed through the crowd and dragged the prisoner away Yes, and the clerk who was holding a pen, ink and paper to record the confession on the spot went with him.

As for the other captives who were thrown on the ground, as early as Wei Hong and the others were talking and discussing, the soldiers skillfully removed their hands and feet joints and tied them up with ropes.

The soldiers who took the captives out to be identified were very clever. They didn’t say that they were arrested with the leader of the water bandits. They only said that there was a special-clothed soldier who was specifically in the city to do black market business and deal with stolen goods. of.

There were only two big bonfires at the scene for lighting. They were bright and they were bright. They could see the road clearly without falling over. They were dark but dark. Many shadowy corners were so dark that you couldn’t see them. It is impossible to see the face clearly at a glance.

Such an irrelevant question did not immediately arouse the vigilance of all the stewards present. When they took a closer look curiously, many quick-talking people immediately shouted that this person was not a black market businessman but a confidant of the Chen family's mistress. Sanquan, what kind of errands he had done before and how he knew each other, and he quickly pushed out several servants from the crowd, saying that the servants around the master who were all Chen's in-laws must know each other.

The Chen family has many daughters and only sons. At Mrs. Chen's current age, her daughters are all grandmothers, and there are decent old servants around them. They all know each other, and they even married with the young lady back then. Dowry the next person.

The head housekeeper of the young mistress's natal family, the Jiang family, also had some impression of this person's name, but he didn't know him very well, because he was the head housekeeper who worked next to the head of the Jiang family. , but on this occasion, if he said that he didn't really know someone well, that would be unreasonable, and he could only follow the trend and agree that it was this person.

The identity was confirmed and the confessions of each person were recorded, and the prisoners were taken back again to wait for their release.

The county official listened to it completely, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Wei Hong asked the soldiers to tie up the Sanquan like the water bandits, and give him some water so he wouldn't die of thirst. He naturally believed in Qi Ke. Since this guy was found in the water bandits' village, it was the Chen family who colluded with the water bandits. The important witness of the bandit, you have to be optimistic about whether he will die for a while.
