Chapter 100
Miss Jia's work efficiency is still very fast.

Not long after they left, there was a burst of drumming from the Pinghe county government.

After An Lingwei heard the voice, she looked at Wen Ruyan and said, "It's started, why don't you go and have a look?"

Wen Ruyan chuckled: "If there's anything interesting, just wait for the results."

Outside the county government office, many people gathered outside to watch the fun.

County magistrate Jia sat on the high hall, looking at so many people outside, his body twisted a few times unnaturally, the master next to him saw this, couldn't help but coughed lightly twice, indicating that he should be promoted .

After his reminder, County Magistrate Jia picked up the gavel, gave it a hard slap, and said, "Take the prisoner!"

Then the master shouted loudly to the following: "The magistrate of the county has an order to take the prisoner~~"

Not long after, two yamen servants escorted a prisoner in white prison clothes with disheveled hair over.I saw that the prisoner's hands and feet were chained with iron shackles. He looked very embarrassed, and his face was covered with dust as if he had been abused, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

When he arrived in front of the hall, the two yamen servants pushed him hard, and the man fell to his knees immediately.Then the yamen servant clasped his fists at the county magistrate Jia and said, "Report to your lord, the prisoner Zhang Song will bring you here."

After listening to what they said, County Magistrate Jia picked up the gavel and slapped it again. Then he thought carefully about what Jia Wenya had taught him, and then he said in a somewhat unnatural voice: "Under the hall, the people under the hall, But that bandit, Zhang Song?"

"Back to the lord, the villain is Zhang Song." The prisoner bowed his head and returned.

Naturally, their voices reached the ears of the people outside, and they started talking about it.

"Zhang Song? Which Zhang Song?"

"It's the Jiangyang thief. It is said that this guy has been wandering around in various places. Over the years, he has handled many big cases."

"That's right, that's him, but I didn't expect this guy to be caught in our Pinghe County."

"Yeah, this is really unexpected."

The county magistrate Jia saw that it really aroused the discussion of the people outside, and a smile appeared on his face, then he patted the table again, and said loudly: "Quiet!"

After the voices of the people outside stopped, County Magistrate Jia then asked, "Prisoner Zhang Song, do you have an excuse for your crime?"

"The villain has nothing to say. Now that the matter has come to an end, the villain only asks the adult to give him a lighter sentence!" The prisoner still didn't dare to look up.

Hearing what he said, County Magistrate Jia snorted coldly, and said, "You have done so many big cases, yet you still dare to ask me to give you a lighter sentence! Come on, let's drag it down for a while and hit you with [-] big boards, then...then... What's the matter?"

The master next to him hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Just as a warning to others."

"Yes, as a warning to others, quickly pull me down!"

"Yes!"

When the yamen servants heard the county magistrate's arrangement, they immediately stepped forward. When the prisoner heard it, he was shocked, and quickly knelt on the ground and licked his head for several times, and said anxiously: "My lord, please forgive me, and the villain is willing to let those thieves die." Take out the wealth and make atonement!"

Hearing what he said, County Magistrate Jia waved his hands at the yamen servants who were about to make a move, and then said to the prisoner: "I am surprised by this incident. Speaking of which, you Jiangyang bandit The day is not too short, why did you have nothing on your body when you were captured by this officer? Tell me, where did you hide those stolen goods?"

The prisoner thought for a while, and quickly replied: "My lord, the reason why this villain came here is because he is old with the master of the Zheng family here. When I was young, I learned art from him. Now the villain feels that he is old and frail, so he came to visit him specially. As for the stolen silver, it totaled more than three hundred taels. For safety, the villain has deposited all of it in his home. One horse at a time!"

As soon as his words came out, there was a lot of turmoil outside the county government office, and it even attracted all the people to discuss.

"This Mr. Zheng is actually related to this guy, how is it possible?"

"How can it be impossible? The old man Zheng only has a few acres of good land, and he can live so comfortably all day long. Now I finally understand that this guy has other sources of income."

"That's right, this old man Zheng is usually not only stingy, but also very shameless. It doesn't look like a good thing at first glance."

While the common people were discussing, a young man among the crowd, seeing that something was wrong, immediately ran towards Zheng's mansion.

After hearing the prisoner's words, Magistrate Jia slapped the gavel heavily, and said angrily, "What an old man Zheng, I didn't expect this person to be a thief. Come!"

"exist!"

"Immediately go to Zheng's house, arrest that old man Zheng, and then search the entire Zheng's house carefully, making sure to find the stolen money!"

"Yes!"

The yamen servants under the hall took orders one after another, and a group of people rushed towards Zheng's house in a mighty manner.

Zheng family.

Mr. Zheng was lying comfortably on the deck chair in the front yard basking in the sun. Ever since he cheated Sun Jin of 300 taels of silver that day, his mood has always been so smooth. He was even thinking about whether he should buy it or not. There is a bigger house, and the current courtyard does look a bit small.

He thought of how helpless the magistrate Jia was to him after Sun Jin reported the case, and he felt extremely happy in his heart.He felt that what he did that night was simply too wise, and he got such a huge sum of money without wasting any effort.

At that time, I must hire a few more servants to make my life more comfortable.

Just as he was having a sweet dream, the young man rushed in in a hurry, and then he said to Mr. Zheng out of breath, "Master, it's a big deal. The big deal is not good!"

Seeing his appearance, Mr. Zheng frowned and asked, "You are frizzy, what can happen, could it be that the magistrate of Jia sent someone to arrest me?"

He was just joking, but he didn't expect that the young man nodded immediately after hearing his words and said, "That's right! Those yamen servants are already on their way."

"what?"

Mr. Zheng exclaimed, and then continued: "He dares! He has no evidence, why should he arrest me!"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the young man hurriedly told him everything he had just heard outside the county government office.

After he finished speaking, Mr. Zheng immediately picked up the teacup next to him angrily, threw it on the ground fiercely, and said loudly and angrily: "Bastard! Who is Zhang Song? When did the old man know him? This stinking Shit, how dare you wrong this old man!"

After he finished venting, he immediately thought of the 300 taels of silver that he cheated Sun Jin, and thought to himself: Could it be that this guy took aim at my silver and wanted to come to steal it, so he was caught?Then in order to atone for the crime, deliberately pour dirty water on me?broken!
Thinking of this, Mr. Zheng wanted to go to the backyard, but at this moment, the group of yamen servants had already rushed in, without waiting for him to react, they went forward and grabbed him.

Then the leading yamen servant looked at him with a sneer and said, "The suspect Zheng Laoliu! County magistrate Jia suspects that you have something to do with that big thief Zhang Song, and ordered me to escort you back to the county yamen for punishment!"

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged!" Mr. Zheng could only shout loudly as he was held on his shoulders by two yamen servants, unable to move at all.

The yamen servant didn't even look at him, and said to his subordinates, "Take him away!"

Then he turned his head and shouted to the people behind him: "Search for me! Be sure to find that stolen silver."

"Yes!"

When Mr. Zheng heard this, he panicked. He put the 300 taels of silver in his room. If they found it, the yellow mud would fall into his crotch, and it would be shit or shit.

This 300 taels of silver is not a small amount, I am just an old man on the verge of death, if this is found out, how will I explain the origin of this money by then!

Thinking of this, Mr. Zheng wanted to struggle, but he was old after all, how could he break free from those two young yamen servants.

The two yamen servants looked at each other, grabbed his shoulders, pressed down hard, and then dragged him towards the county yamen.

"Wrong! Wrong!"
