Chapter 222 210 One Heze Mansion Second Younger Catch a Thief ([-])
At this time, the sun had just turned westward, and a group of twenty or so people rushed on horseback, and the dust raised along the way was flying high. After two hours of urgent travel, a group of dozens of people finally arrived at the county seat of Caozhou.

The magistrate is worrying in this courtyard at the moment. A series of cases have happened under his control in the past few days. If the case is not solved, once the blame comes down, can the county magistrate of himself be regarded as the same? Woolen cloth.

At this moment, a yamen servant ran in in a panic.

"Reporting to the county magistrate, the prefect of Wu has sent an envoy, who is already waiting in the lobby."

"Ah? Even if you are here on business, why don't you hurry up and go out with the county to receive the reception? Once you go back from the business, if you don't speak well of us to the prefect of Wu, is there any good for us?
Let's go, let's go out quickly. "

The county magistrate hastily straightened his clothes and walked out immediately.

When Li Dutou and Zhao Dutou met, they hurried forward to salute the county magistrate.

"Grandfather of the county, everything is okay recently? The villain greeted the county magistrate."

The Grand Master of Nazhi County quickly turned sideways to return the salute when he saw it.

"Li Dutou, Zhao Dutou, why should you and my brother be so polite? Isn't this a sign of birth?
Hey, you two, do you have any important business to come here today? "

Li Dutou laughed and said, "Master Meng, let me introduce two friends to you today."

With that said, Li Dutou pointed to Duan Wuji and Tieniu.

"Master Meng, these two are our two superiors, these are officers under King Yang Qiansui, and according to the magistrate, these two are the bannermen under King Yang.

This is Duan Wuji, the leader of Duan Qipai.That one is one of his elder brothers, his name is Duan Tieniu, the head of Duan Qipai.

They came this time because of the two thieves in your county. Aren't the two thieves in your county having a lot of trouble recently?
This time we came here to catch them. "

When Mengzhi County heard this, he hurried forward to salute.

"Both of you are on mission, Meng Qingfu from the small county is presenting you two on mission."

Speaking of which, Meng Zhixian was about to kneel down.

Can Duan Wuji and Tieniu make him kneel?Two people reached out and stopped him.

"Mengzhi County, why bother to be so polite? When you and I meet for the first time, it's better to meet with common courtesy."

Everyone knows that the leader of the banner is a fourth-rank military officer, and his status is several ranks higher than his seventh-rank county magistrate. Kneeling to greet a superior has been a formal ritual since ancient times.

Seeing two people like this in Meng Zhi County, he was very grateful from the bottom of his heart!

"Both on duty, thank you two for coming to help Xiaoxian eliminate the thieves! Xiaoxian's arrest team is weak, and the level of training is not very good!

In the confrontation with those two robbers, many of the arresters in this county were killed or injured, and their vitality has not yet recovered!

Hey, I'm ashamed to say it!

To catch the thief this time, I will rely more on the two adults. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I said, magistrate, why don't you bring us the heads of your third class?
We have to ask if there has been a report recently, right?By the way, inquire about the whereabouts of these two robbers?

If there were no such circumstances, wouldn't we people be the blind man feeling the elephant? "

The county magistrate nodded after hearing this, and Niu turned back to the officer and said, "Go quickly, find me both heads, and tell them that the county has asked them to discuss something important, and tell them to give me the money immediately." come over."

The guard agreed and ran out.

The county magistrate looked at these people and said: "Everyone, since you have come to this county, let's go to the Houya to have some tea."

Duan Wuji waved his hand after hearing this.

"Mengzhi County, we won't go, let's wait for them here, and ask about the importance of this case!

When this case is solved, the two of us can go back to Dengzhou Mansion to give a job to the old prince Chitose!I've been worrying all day long, what's the matter? "

The Mengzhi County laughed.

"Well, that's good, that's good, then let's wait for them here, I believe the two bosses will come over soon.

When they come, let's discuss the specific situation together. "

Sure enough, after a short time, the guard led the two of them and rushed in hastily.

Both of them knelt down to salute when they saw the magistrate.

"Master County, do you know what you can do with us?"

The Mengzhi County laughed.

"I said Meng Dutou and Lin Dutou. These two are your superiors. They are the Dutou under the prefect of Wu. This is Li Dutou and that is Zhao Dutou. They came to our county this time. It’s just to help our county catch thieves and thieves, why don’t you two go over and greet the two immediate superiors?”

The two heads of the county heard that these two were the heads from the magistrate's yamen, so they ran over quickly.

The two gave a deep salute to Li Dutou and Zhao Dutou.

"Master Dutou, you are welcome to come and give instructions. The villain has saluted you."

Seeing that the people from Caozhou County looked like this, the two of them hurried to the side, and then stretched out their hands to mingle.

"Both of you, you and I are the same colleagues. We should go hand in hand. You two don't need to be too polite. If we are divided into superior and inferior, then we will be born."

Nameng county magistrate pointed at Duan Wuji and Tieniu.

"Meng Dutou, Lin Dutou, let me introduce two distinguished guests to you, these two are our immediate superiors.

This is Duan Wuji and Duan Banner Leader under Yang Wang Qiansui of Dengzhou Prefecture, and that is another banner leader under Yang Wang, his name is Duan Tieniu.

They are all the fourth-rank military officers. Even the county has to kneel and kowtow when they see them. Why don't you two go over and greet them? "

The two were shocked when they heard this.

"Oh, my god! Then King Yang Qiantui sent such a big official down? Now I think the arrogance of these two thieves must have come to an end.

With such a big military officer in charge, why worry about these two robbers not dying?

Although the police in our county can't deal with those two robbers, can't they deal with the banner officer of King Yang Qiansui?And the flag officer who came was not one, but two! "

Saying that, the two came to Duan Wuji and Tie Niu and knelt down on their knees.

"The villain Meng Zhiren and the villain Lin Sanhu pay their respects to Mr. Banner, Mr. Banner, it's all up to you to catch the thief this time, and the villain is willing to help you."

When Duan Wuji and Tieniu saw each other, they quickly extended their hands to each other with a smile.

"Meng Dutou, Lin Dutou, there is no need to be polite, get up quickly.

Come, come, sit down quickly, let's sit down and discuss this matter together.Only when we all work together can we catch these two thieves! "

After the seven people sat down in a circle, Duan Wuji looked at the Dutou of the two counties and said, "Mengdutou and Lindutou, have we received a report in our county recently? Do you know about the two thieves?" Where are you working now?"

Both nodded their heads and smiled.

"Returning to Mr. Qipai, let me tell you two adults, we just received the report just now, and we haven't come in time to report to the county magistrate. In Dawangzhuang'er Village, Donglin Township, we have just received the report.

The rich man Wang Fugui of Dasanzhuanger Village sent his son. They found two young men walking around the village. According to those who saw them, the two walked lightly and carried What about the guy.

Master Wang was afraid that his family would be lost, so he specially sent his son to our county to rescue him. "

"Oh, how far is Dawangzhuang'er Village, Donglin Township, from our county seat?"

"It's not too far away, just over 20 miles away."

"Then who of you is familiar with the Dawang Zhuanger of Donglin Township?"

"Hey, we are the policemen in this county, and we often go to the countryside. How can we not be familiar with the ways of the whole county?"

"Well, that's good, Lin Dutou, you will lead the county's arrest team this time.

You can just pick five people who are very familiar with the geography of Dawangzhuang'er in Donglin Township, and it doesn't matter whether the skill is good or bad.

Head Mengdu, you lead the rest of the police to patrol and protect our county seat.

Magistrate Meng, hurry up and prepare two wooden cage prison carts, and prepare to escort the prisoners tomorrow. "

The Mengzhi County laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this!

Heart said: Ho!The flag officer under King Yang is the cow, and the prisoner has not seen the shadow yet, so he is starting to prepare the wooden cage prison cart, it is so ridiculous!

The county magistrate thought so in his heart, but the superficial articles still had to be done!

The county magistrate of Meng bowed his hand.

"Master Banner, the lower officials know, don't worry, there are four or five wooden cage prison vehicles in this county, and they will definitely not miss your use tomorrow."

"Ah That's good.

Hey, Lin Dutou, hurry up and call someone, let's start to act immediately.

Li Dutou, Zhao Dutou, let's not stay here, let's get on the horse and go.

Before it was dark, we rushed to Dawangzhuanger Village, Donglin Township. "

Well, this paragraph of Wuji said that he was in a hurry, and immediately led a few people out of the county government office. Under the leadership of Lin Dutou, he immediately galloped straight to the direction of Dawangzhuang in Donglin Township and ran down.
