Chapter 8 Chapter Thirty-six

All the people came here with a rush of blood, and when they saw the official, they were still a little scared, so Ding Hao stepped forward, bowed slightly and said: "Master, we don't know whose family this child belongs to. The Taoist and the woman abducted him." After leaving this child, I and these villagers caught her on the spot, and now I want to ask the magistrate to send her to the government. ah!Heaven has eyes!After hearing this, Yang Jincheng, the criminal arrester of Guangyuan Mansion, turned his sword to the sky, trembling with excitement all over his face. It's not easy being a catcher.

People often say that a little blood in the hall is a thousand drops of blood among the people, and that once the ticket is caught, the opportunity to make a fortune will come. This is indeed true.Among the yamen servants, the fast salary is the highest. When handling the case, they will use the ticket to ask the defendant for errand money, shoe money, wine and meal money, lock money, unlock money, buy and release money, and forgiveness money to extort money from the plaintiff. Some reward money, hard work money.Coupled with the usual local thieves and thieves' filial business money, the gray income is really quite a lot, and sometimes they can swallow up the stolen goods and make a fortune.

But among all kinds of yamen servants, their arrest is also the most dangerous and hardest.When the thieves resist arrest and attack, it is inevitable that they will be killed or injured.Moreover, the task of solving crimes undertaken by the police has a time limit. This assessment system is called a ratio limit.Usually every five days, if the case is still not solved after five days, the arrester in charge of the case will be beaten, usually ten times at a time.It is also often used to hit one side of the body, leaving the other side for next time.Major human life cases will be compared every three days, so the police officers are often beaten and limping to solve the case. Behind the scenes, there are so many blood and tears.

This time it was terrible, when Guangyuan General Cheng Shixiong's wife took her son to Sanqing Temple to offer incense, she lost her precious son. General Cheng's wife is a young lady of the Tang family in Pingyuan. A border guard with tens of thousands of troops.Therefore, General Cheng was a little fearful. Mrs. Cheng had not given birth to a child for more than ten years, and he did not dare to take a concubine. Over the years, the Cheng family tried every means to seek medical treatment and medicine. General Cheng only got such a baby when he was over forty years old. Those are the eyes of the Cheng family, the heart and soul of Mrs. Cheng.

This child is lost, and no one in Guangyuan Mansion can expect to have a good life in the future. If the child cannot be found for a day, he will definitely be punished for a day. The big guy is afraid. God is sorry, he has just left the gate. The big credit is on his own head. The more Yang Butou thought about it, the happier he became, the muscles on his face twisted, and in the eyes of others, he looked like he had a sudden stroke.A policeman at the side reminded in a low voice: Boss, boss, we have to take him back quickly and let Mrs. Cheng identify him. We still don't know if this child is Mr. Cheng's young master.

ah?oh!Yeah!Yang Jincheng came to his senses, rushed forward and said: "Hurry up, hand over the children to me, and I will take you to see the adults." The child was already familiar with Ding Hao, seeing this man's ugly face, he spoke aggressively, and immediately burst into tears again, those two chubby little hands tightly wrapped around Ding Hao's neck, and would not let go of anything. When Yang Jincheng saw it, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you still hold this little ancestor. Hurry up, follow me to see the magistrate." In the lobby, the magistrate Xu Fengqing was leaning against the map of the Jiangya Mountains and seas, looking up at the mirror hanging high on the plaque, twirling his beard with his hands, silent, as if toasting and inviting the moon to look at each other and forgetting to say anything.

Everyone around him who can be sent out, even the master was sent to the barracks to report to General Cheng, and now Mrs. Cheng, who has lost her child and dare not go back to the house to see Mrs. Cheng, is sitting in his lobby , crying miserably, those who heard it wept. Xu Zhifu couldn't persuade him, he couldn't say it, he stood there worried and could only pull his beard one by one, and he pulled the beautiful beard under his chin to pieces. At this moment, Catcher Yang hurried back, and before entering the door, he shouted: Master Zhifu! Xu Fengqing turned his head and saw Yang Jincheng happily appearing at the door, the toe of his boot tripped over the threshold, and suddenly a vicious dog snatched the food, stabbed at the floor tiles and jumped to his feet

Xu Zhifu was startled, he raised his boots and kicked indiscriminately, cursing angrily: You bastard, I asked you to find the young master of the Cheng family, what are you doing back here? Catcher Yang grinned his teeth in pain from the fall, and had to cover his head while hurriedly saying: "Master, the little one has found the man." What?Prefect Xu was still lifting one of his big feet in the air, he was overjoyed when he heard this, before he had time to ask, Madam Tang, who was slumped on the chair and crying out of breath, acted with agility that Yang Butou was ashamed of. The speed bounced off the chair, rushed in front of him with a stride, and asked in a trembling voice: You said that my son was found?

Yang Jincheng hurriedly replied: The common people turned over two human traffickers and brought a baby in their arms. The young one didn't recognize the young master of your mansion. Mrs. Lao Cheng went to see it for herself. Just after Yang Jincheng finished speaking, the foot that Xu Zhifu still raised in the air landed on his body, and cursed: You bastard who can't do things, do you want Madam to go and see?Won't you bring people in! Yang Jincheng was full of grievances and said: Didn't I come to report the news in advance? The people have already entered the gate of the government office with their babies in their arms.

Mrs. Cheng didn't say a word after hearing this, she raised her legs and ran out. Xu Zhifu straightened his officer's hat, dusted off his official clothes, and hurriedly chased after him. The two righteous masters had already run away without a trace. When Mrs. Cheng ran to Yimen, Ding Hao and his party were walking towards them.Seeing that the child in his arms was indeed her own flesh and blood, Mrs. Cheng was both happy and sad, and refused to let go after taking the child, just crying bitterly against her son's little face.The little guy didn't understand human affairs yet, so when he saw his mother crying, he opened his mouth and wailed with her.

The magistrate Xu arrived, and when he saw this situation, he had no choice but to cough, and stepped forward to persuade: Mrs. Cheng, the child has been found, this is a great joy, please don't cry, it will hurt your health if you continue like this.Besides, the old matriarch might be in a hurry at home, the madam should take the young master back as soon as possible, so that the old matriarch can feel at ease. This sentence reminded Mrs. Cheng that the child is the heart and soul of the old lady, and the husband is a filial person who takes care of his mother. Don't think that your husband is usually afraid of her letting her go. She has the support of the Tang family, and her husband will definitely not let it go.Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng quickly wiped away her tears and said hastily: "Hurry up, hurry up, prepare the sedan chair immediately, and go back to the general's mansion!"
