Chapter 1724: Catch slowly
Chapter 1724: Catch slowly
Although the lobby was bustling with activity, Qiu Keshi chose to walk through the deserted alleys.
He became more and more frightened as he walked, thinking that this time the matter would probably become a big deal.
Everything was going well, but suddenly a scoundrel showed up.
He became annoyed at the thought of possibly being involved with the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.
He is not afraid, because he has the support of his partners behind him, so he is not afraid of the palace, but now is not the time to confront it.
What should I do?
Several thoughts flashed through my mind quickly.
He paused and picked one.
If someone has to take the blame and die in this matter, it shouldn't be him.
He looked around and saw no one, so he turned into an alley and asked to open a door.
Two guards from the palace followed him and made sure he went in. They looked around and found that the house was quite small and had a back door.
The two of them stared at each other, one in front and one behind.
About half an hour later, Qiu Keshi came out from the back door as expected. The guard at the back door fired a flare arrow, and the two men met up and continued to follow him.
At this time, in the lobby, Zhao Kungou could no longer hold on and confessed everything.
How was he found by Qiu Keshi? How did they discuss countermeasures? First, they used Old Madam Qiu's illness as an excuse to spread his reputation, then sent him to Shopkeeper Yu for "treatment", and then led the matter to the manor, making Shopkeeper Yu afraid and selling the manor to save his life.
In the final analysis, it was all to seize Zhuangzi.
Everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.
Cao Cizhong was so angry that he slammed the gavel: "It is really outrageous. To seize someone else's manor, you actually use such a despicable method."
"Come here, bring that Yang guy to me."
Doctor Yang had already asked Linlang and Luhu to capture him, and Qiu Keshi had also asked his followers to go look for him just now. Now, not only Doctor Yang was captured, but also one of his followers who came to look for him.
At the command of Governor Cao, Linlang shouted loudly outside: "The person is here!"
The people divided into two groups, and Linlang and Luhu escorted the two men to the hall.
Doctor Yang was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He had been trembling with fear since the moment he was kidnapped. Now that he was dragged into the lobby, his legs had already gone limp.
Governor Cao slammed the gavel and asked, "Who is in the hall?"
"I am Yang Yi."
Governor Cao sneered: "Yang Yi, huh, are you worthy of your name? Where is the morality, where is the loyalty?"
Yang Yi lowered his head and said nothing.
"Speak! Tell me clearly how you poisoned Shopkeeper Yu, how you colluded with others, and how you got the poison."
At this point, Doctor Yang had nothing left to hide and had to confess everything he had done.
The attendant next to him denied it at first, but when he saw the photos taken by the abbot, he dared not lie anymore.
Governor Cao quickly examined the matter and found the whole story clear and organized, so he asked them to sign and seal the document.
Doctor Yang was convicted of poisoning someone, and although the intent was not to kill him, the poison was deadly and he could not be forgiven lightly. As for his followers, they were also detained and could not be released.
After the three men were thoroughly investigated, Governor Cao ordered Qiu Keshi to be brought in for questioning.
After all, he was the mastermind behind this matter.
Governor Cao ordered to arrest people. Yan Ruyu said to Yinding, "Go and inform Li Chengshi to keep a close eye on Lu Peng and see if he makes any moves."
Just as Yinding was about to leave, Yan Ruyu said, "If Lu Peng was in the military camp today, he might not be able to quickly get the news here."
"Spread out and give him a scare."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu looked at Governor Cao in the hall, then at the abbot, and her consciousness entered the space.
The abbot heard the vibration in the space and stepped aside. He clasped his hands together and lowered his eyes, as if he was in a trance.
"Was what I did just now wonderful?"
"Excellent," Yan Ruyu affirmed. "Now there is something we need to do. Tell Governor Cao not to rush to capture Qiu Keshi. Talk about it in the hall and tell the people who are going to kill him to slow down and give him time to escape."
The abbot understood immediately: "You want to let the snake go?"
"Yes, scare him, let him go, and see if the person behind him can show up."
"it is good."
The abbot quickly stepped out: "Wait."
Cui Chong and others had already received the order and were about to leave, but stopped at this moment.
The abbot came closer and whispered a few words to Governor Cao.
Governor Cao looked solemn, nodded, and ordered Cui Chong: "Go, bring the person back as soon as possible."
He said "fast," but he gestured, "slow."
Cui Chong saw it clearly and was slightly stunned.
In the past, when Governor Cao did not do much, no one dared to offend him, so he often used this trick. When a case needed to be tried, but some people could not be offended, they would discuss and decide on this gesture with him.
It feels like I haven't used this gesture for a long time. At first glance, it still seems a little confusing.
A look confirmed that Governor Cao had made the right call.
Why can’t we catch a Qiuke Stone?
He looked at the abbot and suddenly realized that this might be what the abbot meant, or there might be another reason.
Cui Chong felt better now. Now he was used to being a good constable, a constable with strong ability to catch thieves. He didn't want to be a cowardly and incompetent person anymore.
He led his men away in a hurry.
Two guards followed Qiu Keshi. This time he didn't go anywhere else but returned to the Qiu family.
While they were watching, Cui Chong and his men arrived.
When the two sides met, Cui Chong was still a little hesitant. Governor Cao told him to take his time.
But now we are at home, how can we slow down?
Thinking of this, Cui Chong came up with an idea. Seeing several servants guarding the gate of the Qiu family, he led his men over.
When the servants saw that it was Cui Chong, they hurried over to greet him with a smile.
"Captain Cui, what brings you here?"
Cui Chong didn't say it directly, but asked, "Is your eldest master Qiu at home?"
The servant's eyes turned. The young master had just returned home and should be talking to the master now. How come the man named Cui came right after him?
There was a clever one who quietly retreated to report the news.
Cui Chong saw it, but didn't stop it. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
The other servants were talking nonsense and rambling here. Under normal circumstances, Cui Chong would have pushed them away long ago, but now he was talking to them in a random manner.
They were also a little confused.
It was estimated that by now, Qiu Keshi should have received the news.
By the time they go in, Qiu Keshi should have escaped through the back door.
People have to let go, but not too obviously.
Cui Chong has already mastered this skill to perfection.
"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go see Mr. Qiu."
He walked in and the servants didn't dare to stop him.
"I'm going to deliver the letter."
Run inside.
Cui Chong did not stop him. Just as he passed a door, he saw someone coming towards him.
"Captain Cui, what do you want from me?"
Cui Chong was startled, the person coming towards him was Qiu Ke Shi.
He took a deep breath in his heart. What was going on? Did the Qiu family fail to deliver the letter?
Not only did Qiu Keshi not run away, but he also came to my door?
Beside Qiu Keshi was Master Qiu, whose expression was slightly solemn, but not in a sour way.
At this point, Cui Chong could only say, "Mr. Qiu, Governor Cao has issued an order for you to go."
