"Wait!"

Guo Jia's sudden appearance aroused doubts among the people.

The old Zhao who complained about injustice also had a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

Because he found that both the magistrate of Zhending County and the captain had serious expressions in an instant. They all straightened up involuntarily.

Others didn't know Guo Jia, but the magistrate of Zhending County and the captain definitely knew each other.

This was Guo Jia, one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, Taiwei Guo. He could be said to be an important minister who stood at the pinnacle of the Han Dynasty.

Guo Jia ignored everyone's surprise and walked up to Lao Zhao and asked with a slight smile:"What's your name?"

Old Zhao looked at the county magistrate and the captain, and found that there was no blame on the other side. There was no blame at all for being interrupted in the interrogation.

On the other hand, many of the officers around him looked puzzled. Some were just watching. Guan Xin looked prudent and protective.

The common people"803" could not guess the reason, but as one of the local snakes, Lao Zhao was quick-thinking and had some vague guesses.

Because a big event happened in Zhending County today—— The Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the civil servants and generals of the DPRK arrived in Zhending County by train.

According to the news received by Lao Zhao, His Majesty and the civil servants and generals are still reviewing on the tower and have not come down yet.

But now...

Lao Zhao is not stupid. He guessed something, which sent shivers down his spine and made him look panicked, but he still forced himself to be calm and replied:"I, Zhao Deng!"

"Where do you live? What's the career today?"Guo Jia continued to ask.

Zhao Deng replied:"I live in the Zhao Mansion in the east of the city. I have some properties and make a living by collecting rents and looking after people's homes and homes."

Nah!

The idea of ​​collecting protection money is so elegant and refined!

The corners of the mouths of the Zhending County magistrate and the captain twitched, but they didn't dare to interrupt Guo Jia's inquiry. The first level of official rank is overwhelming, let alone Guo Jia and the others who are several levels higher. Guo Jia did not continue to ask, but looked at Wu Jiu and others behind Zhao Deng and asked them one by one.

Guo Jia asked again:"What's your name?""

"The little one’s name is Wu Jiu!"

"Where do you live? What's the career today?"Guo Jia asked

"The younger one works for Mr. Zhao!

Guo Jia asked:"What is it specifically?""

"Just, just……"Wu Jiu was sweating like rain. After thinking for a while, he said,"Help Mr. Zhao collect the rent."

Helping Old Zhao steal all day long, isn't that just collecting the rent?

Guo Jia did not inquire further, looked at the others with a smile, and asked the same extremely formulaic question.

What is your name? Where do you live? What occupation?

The answers of these people were all similar to Wu Jiu. They were all working for Lao Zhao. After all, they were all his thugs.

The people who saw this were shocked and puzzled. They didn't understand what Guo Jia was doing?!

I don’t understand why the county magistrate and other officials didn’t stop Guo Jia’s nonsense?

After dozens of people had finished asking questions, Guo Jia came to Lao Zhao and his expression changed somewhat:

"The bag containing 14,000 copper coins was found from your Zhao Mansion, but you ordered your subordinate Wu Jiu to steal it?"

Old Zhao was stunned for a moment, and continued to cry out:"It's unfair! That's small change that I saved"

"Are you sure that's the change you saved?"Guo Jia asked coldly.

Old Zhao gritted his teeth, and then nodded firmly:"I am absolutely sure!"

"Get a basin of water."

Guo Jia's order was quickly implemented. He took out a copper coin from his purse and threw it down. Suddenly, an oil slick appeared on the water.

"Why is the change you saved so thickly stained with oil?"Guo Jia asked coldly.

Many people woke up with a start! They were shocked by Guo Jia's quick wit! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) The magistrate of Zhending County was secretly troubled by his own performance just now Compared with Taiwei Guo, he really can't stand out!

Old Zhao looked pale and sweating like rain. He subconsciously looked at Merchant Wang, thinking that he was a fried dough sticks guy.

Damn Wu Jiu, don't you know how to wash it first? ?!

He quibbled:"Xu got it because he neglected hygiene when he was little!"

Guo Jia didn't argue. He put one copper coin after another into the water, and oily flowers floated out of each one.

"Don't tell me that each of these fourteen thousand copper coins you saved was stained when you were not caring about hygiene?"

Guo Jia's question made Old Zhao feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. He wanted to continue to quibble, but the people around him all reacted.

"Why are every copper coin full of oil stains?"

"Isn't this obvious? Because I stole it from someone else’s fried dough sticks somewhere."

"The hands of the fried dough stick vendor are stained with grease. If they charge change, doesn't that mean they are stained with grease?"

"Mainly because he is a rent collector and looks after other people's homes and homes. Where did he get so much change? Wouldn’t silver work better?"

"Can you really quibble and get stained regardless of hygiene? Whose house has so much oil stains stuck to copper coins?"

Listening to the whispers of the people, Lao Zhao wanted to cry but had no tears.....

If the Han Emperor hadn't arrived today, he would have done it. But now, he can't even kill him!

In ordinary times, for stealing, one might just be detained for a few years and sent to the frontier for labor. If he is caught by the Han Emperor now, he may become an example of killing chickens to scare other monkeys!

Lao Zhao's voice was trembling, but he still argued:

"Xiao Xiao has a habit of taking out the change and counting it after every meal, and also has the habit of hiding money in the kitchen, maybe it is stained with oil."

Listening to Lao Zhao's sophistry, the people around him were shocked!

They had seen shameless people, but never such shameless ones! They were originally a little disappointed with the magistrate of Zhending County, and some of their feelings of sadness and sorrow suddenly turned into feelings of dissatisfaction with Lao Zhao. Zhao cursed loudly.

The magistrate of Zhending County saw that the direction of the wind had changed, and based on this evidence, they could already carry out a logical chain of crime derivation.

Therefore, the magistrate stood up directly, and just wanted to scold old Zhao Ming for his stubbornness, but who knew But Guo Jia waved his hand, and his voice was stuck in his throat. He retreated angrily again.

Guo Jia was not angry, and did not lose his composure because of Lao Zhao's refusal to admit guilt. Instead, he came to the water basin and pooped. After a few clicks, he took out a few copper coins.

Guo Jia held the coins and said lightly:

"These copper coins are all newly made. According to the manufacturing method and serial number in 3.4 above, I can find out where these copper coins are sent through the mint.

Then I can send someone to find out the person who exchanged money from the bank, and use this to deduce where that person spent money."

Old Zhao's face was no longer pale, but was bloodless with horror. Cold sweat was pouring down like rain, and his body was shaking involuntarily.

Guo Jia continued to shout and asked:"Besides, you don't have only one Wu Jiu. Bar? It seems that I heard that a lot of gold and silver treasures were found in your Zhao Mansion.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to accumulate money by looking after homes and homes and collecting rent, right?

If my prediction is correct, there must be several pickpockets like Wu Jiu in Zhending County, right? even more?

A scumbag like you can live in Zhending County without any harm. Is this because of the incompetence of the county magistrate, or because he has a backer behind him?".
