C18 Tribune(part Ii)

Not long after, a middle-aged constable rushed out of the mansion along with six or seven other constable. He saw that the middle-aged constable's face was shiny, his eyes were round, and there was no trace of a mustache on his face. Other than the middle-aged constable with empty hands, the other constables all held iron rods and chains in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy.

This middle-aged constable was called Zhao Shengcai, and was nicknamed "Wealth". He was one of the subordinates of Chief Constable Zhan Hongtu of Xi'an Prefecture. This person's martial arts was average, but his mind was flexible. Ordinary constables didn't have much money. They only had a little more than a dozen taels of silver a year. It was difficult to support their families, so they had to make a name for themselves and collect fees. Zhao Sheng was one of these experts.

Zhan Hongtu had always looked down on Zhao Shengcai. However, the food and shelter of his subordinates were expensive. Plus, Zhao Shengcai had a good relationship with Prefect Hee Chunlai. Thus, Zhan Hongtu turned a blind eye to Zhao Shengcai's actions. However, since Zhao Shengcai's kung fu was poor, Zhan Hongtu didn't bring him out to handle the case. Zhao Shengcai was also happy to be at peace, making a fortune at home.

Today, it was exactly Zhao Shengcai who was on duty in the residence. When he heard that a bailiff had come to report that someone had submitted, and that it was a thief who had stolen the treasury's silver and Xi'an Prefecture, Zhao Shengcai was overjoyed. He thought to himself, You, Zhan Hongtu, are running around with broken legs, but I'm at home with fat delivered to my doorstep. Just as he was about to rush out, he called six or seven constables to come out and take them.

When Zhao Sheng rushed to the door, he was surprised to find that there was not a single gangster standing in front of the yamen's entrance. However, there was a young and clean youngster standing there.

Zhao Sheng was afraid that Xie Xiaodi would do something to him, so he did not approach him. Instead, he stood far away and asked, "Are you here to surrender?"

"Yeah." Xie Xiaodi replied.

"You said that you stole the treasury for Xi'an Prefecture?"

"Yeah."

Zhao Shengcai had always felt that this was suspicious, so he asked, "Do you have any proof?"

Xie Xiaodi was really impatient in his heart. He thought, "Why is it so troublesome to meet a Prefect? If we don't allow it, if we don't allow it, are we only willing to see a giver?" Fortunately, he was prepared for it, so he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and said, "Isn't this the Ku Yin?"

When Zhao Sheng saw Xie Xiaodi take out the silver, he asked a constable to go over quickly and receive it. He looked at the inscription on the silver ingot, which was exactly the silver that was lost in the Xi'an Prefecture a few days ago. It turned out that after Xie Xiaodi took back Ku Yin, he extracted two hundred taels of "hard work fee" from it. This was exactly one ingot.

When Zhao Sheng saw that it was Ku Yin, he was overjoyed. He immediately called for his men, "Men, lock him up."

Several constables rushed forward and locked Xie Xiaodi up with chains. Xie Xiaodi wanted to see Hee Chunlai, so he didn't resist.

However, Xie Xiaodi didn't see Hee Chunlai.

He was locked up.

"Why don't you let me see Lord Hee?" Xie Xiaodi shouted from within the cell. This time, he felt that he really had a grievance. However, since he was the one who sent the case, there was no room for reason.

"Kid, you think you can see Lord Hee?" A jailer looked at Xie Xiaodi and sneered.

"I'm a thief who stole Ku Yin. Don't tell me Lord Hee didn't ascend to the throne and ask for a case?" Xie Xiaodi intentionally winked at him and pretended to be vicious. How could he be so handsome? No matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem like a bad guy.

"You? I think you're just a source of information! Want to see Lord Hee? You deserve it! Kid, you've heard too much from the show, right? So why do you have to trouble the Prefect for all these cases? To tell you the truth, not to mention Lord Hee not being home, even Lord Hee is at home. For a small fry like you, Lord Hee would not even bother to interrogate you. The jailer began to curse.

Xie Xiaodi scratched his head and asked, "Who is in charge of the torture chamber then?"

"The investigation and investigation will be handled by Chief Constable Zhan, the official record, the proposed table, and all other matters will be handled by Senior Prison Official Song …" I say, why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don't bring out your accomplices and Ku Yin's location, I'll beat you up until you're one Buddha reborn, two Buddha ascended to heaven! "

"Is that Chief Constable Zhan you spoke of Zhan Hongtu?" Xie Xiaodi asked.

The jailer was about to whip Xie Xiaodi, but stopped when he heard his question: "What? You know him?"

Xie Xiaodi was thinking that a wise man does not eat the loss when the odds are against him, so he nodded his head: "We know each other, he and I are relatives."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" "The jailer immediately lowered his whip." Master Zhan was out on a business trip, so he should be back in a few days. You too, if I told you earlier that I know Mr. Zhan, why did you throw in a case? Just tell him that I captured all the other people who stole money, and you would even receive a reward. "

Xie Xiaodi was stupefied after hearing that Zhan Hongtu would be back in a few days, he should have just been waiting at Xi'an Prefecture to find him, there was no need to go through so much trouble, finally he successfully got himself sent to the prison.

The prison guard saw that Xie Xiaodi was a bit dumb and thought he had hit the nail on the head. He quickly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhan will be back in two days. As long as you hold onto the main culprit, you can be released." As for the past two days, you've been feeling wronged. With me around, I can guarantee that you won't suffer any losses. "Remember, my surname is Chu. If you need anything, just look for me."

"Thank you." With Xie Xiaodi's martial arts skills, escaping the prison was as easy as flipping his palm. However, he thought that since he wouldn't lose out in prison and would save money for his restaurant, he might as well just wait here for Zhan Hongtu's return. He thought to himself, "Looks like there are still acquaintances in the government. Isn't that the case everywhere?"

The head of the prison turned around and walked out of the cell, locking the door behind him. Just as he was about to leave, he said with some worry, "Brother, what is your surname and the name of Lord Zhan?"

"My surname is Xie, my name is Xie Xiaodi, Chief Constable Zhan is me …" "Uncle." Xie Xiaodi wanted to say "Uncle", but when he thought of the difference in surname between himself and Zhan Hongtu, he changed it to "Uncle". He thought to himself, as long as Zhan Hongtu heard his name, he would definitely know where he came from. Seeing that I helped him retrieve his silver, it would be a small matter to see Hee Chunlai.

Prisoner Li nodded, but he was a little puzzled. "I've heard that Mr. Zhan's wife is surnamed Tao, but I've never heard of any brother. Could it be …" Could it be that Lord Zhan had gone out to make bread for the second concubine, and this kid is the nephew of Lord Zhan's second concubine? "

"It's better not to ask too many questions about the old masters. Since he has a good point, he must be related to Master Zhan. "If you wait until Mr. Zhan comes back and says you don't know him, it won't be too late to fix him."

Thinking up to here, Censor Wu said to Xie Xiaodi, "Alright, I'll remember it. I'll report it to Mr. Zhan when he returns." He then lowered his voice, "I will naturally greet the other heads of the prison. I won't make things difficult for you. As for your status as a relative of Lord Zhan, don't tell anyone else. It would not be good for Lord Zhan."

Xie Xiaodi nodded in agreement.

The jailer continued: "Remember, my surname is Dang. If you need anything, just look for me."

Xie Xiaodi was a bit annoyed. He thought why this jailer was so long-winded, but since he was kind, he nodded again.

Prison Chief Qu was still worried and said, "If I wasn't on duty when Mr. Zhan came to the prison …"

Xie Xiaodi had a flash of inspiration. He already knew about Prison Chief Wu's actions: Prison Chief Wu didn't want him to talk about this to the other prison guards, so he kept making himself remember his surname. Naturally, he wanted to wait for Zhan Hongtu to come back and ask for his credit. Thinking of this, Xie Xiaodi laughed, "Chu Chao, don't worry, I will naturally follow me … Uncle talked about the benefits Chu's head would bring me. "

Prison Head Qu heard it and smiled, "That's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine. "Thank you."

Only after sending the jailer away did Xie Xiaodi calm down and take a look at the inside of the cell. Although he claimed to be a thief, he only had one ingot of silver on him, and he didn't look like a thief. Therefore, Zhao Sheng only arranged for people to lock him up in ordinary cells.

Unlike a cell with a felon, a cell would normally hold many people at the same time. In Xie Xiaodi's cell, there was already one person locked up before Xie Xiaodi came in.

Xie Xiaodi had just been talking to the jailer, so he hadn't been paying close attention to this person's situation. When he saw this person, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised!
