Chapter 506: Catch Zou Hai

Chapter 506: Capturing Zou Hai

Qin Erlang's eyes were dark and his face was cold and emotionless. He wiped the blood on the long knife with Yang Laoer's clothes: "I have already asked what should be asked. He is keeping it useless. Why not kill him? As for the explanation..."

He looked at Qin Sanlang and said: "You can fool me for such a trivial matter for any reason, so why should I shrink back? And you know very well that Yang Laoer and his gang want to kidnap not only Gu Yumei, but also Gu Yumei. If you want to kidnap Sister Gu Jinli, don’t you care about that fish? When you learn that she was almost kidnapped, don’t you want to kill Yang Er and avoid future troubles?”

Qin Sanlang's face was cold. He didn't answer Qin Erlang's words. He just stepped forward and stared at the wound on Yang Lao'er's neck for a while. Then he untied Yang Lao'er from the trunk and kicked him again. With a bang, Kicked Yang Laoer's body to the ground.

The weeds on the ground were knocked down, and the blood on Yang Laoer's neck was still flowing, and soon the grass was dyed red.

Qin Erlang smiled when he saw this, sheathed his sword, and sat next to him, waiting for Luo Wu and the others.

Qin Sanlang set a fire with half-dried wild grass and used smoke to notify Luo Wu and others.

When they were tracking Yang Laoer, they used a kind of carbon ash they carried to leave a mark on Luo Wu and the others. Luo Wu and the others looked for them all the way, but they were not far away from them. After seeing the bursts of smoke, they quickly found Come over.

"Is this a criminal who escaped? Why did he die?" Luo Wufan looked at Yang Laoer's body and frowned.

Other government officials also said: "This is a repeat offender. It is more useful to catch him alive than dead. Now that he is dead, we can't try him."

Qin Sanlang said: "We have already interrogated him, and he told everything he knew, but he wanted to take advantage of our brothers to escape unprepared, and was killed by the second brother with a knife."

Hearing this, other government officials looked at the traces of being **** on Yang Laoer's body, as well as the injuries on his body, as well as the fatal wound on his neck. It was obvious that he was killed by a knife from the front during the fight.

 “That’s it.” The officials believed Qin Sanlang’s words.

Qin Sanlang told them what he had asked about, and then the group carried Yang Laoer's body and rushed to the county town.

When we arrived at the county seat, it was already dark. Magistrate Xu was anxious to know who the villains were behind instigating Mr. Yang and others to kidnap people, so he met them in person.

 But when he learned that Yang Laoer died, he was shocked: "Dead? How come he's dead?!"

How can he find out the evil person behind this death?

County Magistrate Xu was so anxious that he was already worried about the fire at Zou's house. County Lieutenant Jiang had also told him that there was something fishy about the deaths of Zou Yuzhen and Fan Dabiao, but he was afraid that Ming Shaoqing would scold him when he came. He took good care of the Zou family and just wanted to close the case as soon as possible.

 What's scary is that the deaths of Zou Yuzhen and Fan Dabiao were really caused by a third person. Now this third person finally showed up, but the clues are so broken.

"Don't worry, sir. Sanlang has already asked Boss Yang and the place where they contacted the evil people behind him." Luo Wu told County Magistrate Xu in detail what Qin Sanlang asked: "That man promised Boss Yang and the others five hundred He said that as long as he catches a girl from our family, he will give them the remaining two hundred taels of silver. The place to withdraw the money is a cloth shop called Sanshui Kangtai on Fujin Street in Luchang County."

 Xu County Magistrate was overjoyed after hearing this, but before long, Qin Sanlang said: "Sir, the evil man may not be at Sanshui Kangtai Buzhuang."

"What? Not here!" Magistrate Xu's face turned green when he heard this, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you ask for this location? Why did you say you weren't here?"

Qin Sanlang said: "The evil man would find Mr. Yang and the others and ask them to kidnap people for him. He just doesn't want this matter to involve him, but why would he set the place to withdraw the money at Fujin Street in Luchang County?" , and made the name of the shop so clear? In this case, if Boss Yang and the others fail, won’t he also be arrested? He is not that stupid, I guess he must not be on Fujin Street, Luchang County."

Magistrate Xu almost slapped the table and cursed when he heard this, and said anxiously: "Then what should we do now? Ming Shaoqing will be here in a few days, and if the Zou family's case is not settled, I will be punished!" Qin Sanlang thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency, you can ask Zou Jiang. He has been in the Zou family for many years and must know who all the servants of the Zou family are."

He added: "Check all the household registrations that Zou County Cheng has dealt with. If the evil man escaped from the Zou family and opened a shop in Luchang County, he must have more than two good people's household registrations in his hands. As long as he finds Zou The person’s hiding place can be found from the household registration registered by the county magistrate.”

 Why there are two copies? Because the person dared to leave the address of Luchang County, which proves that he gave up that place. And if he dared to give up, he must have other household registrations in his hand.

Magistrate Xu frowned: "Check household registration, what do you say?"

Qin Sanlang said: "On the way to escape the famine, I once heard some victims say that they were originally slaves, but before fleeing the famine, they went to the local magistrate and secretly bought a new household registration. In this way, they could be left behind in times of crisis. The master's family can run away without becoming a refugee or a runaway slave."

Magistrate Xu's face turned black when he heard this, and he quickly interrupted Qin Sanlang: "I know what you are talking about, and I will ask the scribe to search all the household registrations that have been registered by the Prime Minister of Zou County."

County Magistrate Xu felt his face was burning, and it was a slap in the face, because what Qin Sanlang said was nothing new, it was something that happened all over Dachu, and with the kind of person Zou County Magistrate was, he would definitely do it. Gotta come out.

 After County Magistrate Xu drank a cup of strong tea to wake up, he immediately asked County Lieutenant Jiang to go find Zou Jiang and ask him about the servants of the Zou family.

 I took three masters and scribes to check the household registration registered by Zou County Cheng.

The matter of arresting people in Luchang County was not delayed and was handed over to Team Leader Yang. Luo Wu and his team of government officials had not slept for two days. If they rushed to Luchang County again, they would probably die of exhaustion on the road.

Captain Yang took Magistrate Xu's handwritten letter and headed straight to Luchang County with a group of government officials. As expected by Qin Sanlang, there was only one shopkeeper and five clerks in Sanshui Kangtai Cloth Shop on Fujin Street. Not here.

After asking, I found out that the owner’s surname was Kang and he was from Zhongzhou. He usually stayed in his hometown in Zhongzhou and only came here once or twice a year to do accounts.

However, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang said: "Some time ago, the master sent someone to send a letter, saying that if someone named Yang came to ask for money, you don't need to ask more, just give them two hundred taels of silver."

It was established that the owner of the shop paid Boss Yang and others to be the mastermind behind the kidnapping, but other than that, the shopkeeper didn’t know anything else.

Yang Ban's head was scolded by his mother. In desperation, only six people in Buzhuang returned to Futianfu County, but Luchang County followed a book official and four in his service.

When Magistrate Xu learned that Bantou Yang and the others had not arrested anyone, he was so angry that he cursed Prime Minister Zou. However, good news came from Master Tian and Lieutenant Jiang.

Zou Jiang is worthy of being an old man who has been with the Zou family for many years. Although Zou County Prime Minister has been guarding against him, he still guessed that the Zou family member who escaped was Zou Hai, and found out from some of Zou County Prime Minister's little habits. He has personally applied for thirty-four household registrations over the years.

Maybe the county magistrate still has a headache: "Thirty-four household registrations means thirty-four places. How to find them? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

But Zou Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. As long as you drag Master Shao, Secretary Li, and Secretary Chi out for torture, you will be able to find out which household registration belongs to Zou Hai."

Although these household registrations were handled by Zou County Cheng personally, he could not enter them personally. They would definitely go through the hands of his confidants. The two scribes Li and Chi were the confidants of Zou County Cheng, and they were responsible for the household registration.
