Chapter 41: The Instigation of One Sing and One Harmony
"Head, the prisoner has already drawn a seal, what instructions do you have?" Soon, the yamen runner handed over to Wan Xiutian with a sealed confession.
"Preserve to the jail first and wait for the death to come." Wan Xiutian walked out of the interrogation room with his confession.
"Captain Wan, congratulations!" Just as Wan Xiutian was walking blankly, Master You emerged from somewhere and bowed to congratulate him.
"Master You! Where does the joy come from?" Wan Xiutian said in confusion.
"I heard that you personally caught the thief leader to remove a single traitor for our county and at the same time ensured the security of the county. When the emperor arrives, he will definitely be very happy. At this critical moment, how can you not be worthy of celebration?" Master You responded.
"Oh, Master You is too proud, this is all my duty. I am just about to ask the adults to report this matter." Wan Xiutian didn't expect Master You to know how to arrest the ghost so quickly. He originally wanted to ease up and see if there was a better room for maneuver. Now Master You already knows that he can't delay it, so he can only report this matter to the county magistrate as soon as possible to avoid anyone accusing him of deliberately covering up his own relatives.
"Captain Wan, you are very satisfied with me. I caught the prisoner so quickly. It seems that the day to solve the case is not far from solving the case." The county magistrate took the confession submitted by Wan Xiutian and was very happy after watching it.
"This is all a small responsibility, and you should do your best." Wan Xiutian responded.
"Now the prisoner has caught it, the rest is to catch the employer and find the stolen treasure. After all, the employer involves your second brother. What are your plans? If it is not convenient for you to take action, I can arrange for other constables to do it for you." The county magistrate asked tentatively.
"Sir, this matter has always been investigated by Captain Wan. I think the next issue is better to let Captain Wan continue to be responsible. I believe Captain Wan will be able to enforce the law impartially. No matter who the perpetrator is, Captain Wan can kill his relatives for justice. Just talk about the killer today, and you can see that Captain Wan will have a bright future in the future and will make great achievements." Master You spoke out from the side.
"Although I believe in Captain Wan's character, what I will face in the future is half-brother. Even if I have a little selfishness, it is understandable. I think it's better to take charge of this matter." The county magistrate seemed to understand Wan Xiutian's difficulties very much.
"Captain Wan, if you are really in a dilemma, why don't you go back to your house and take a leave for a while? I believe there will be many constables in the yamen who are willing to take over your errands." Mr. You said something, which forced Wan Xiutian to think carefully.
If you really give up on your investigation for family affection, it would be like giving up on your position as the head of the captain. In the future, it would be more difficult than climbing to the head of the captain.
Wan Xiutian hesitated for a moment, and after making up his mind, he expressed his opinion to the county magistrate and the master:
"I'd better continue to investigate. Please rest assured, sir and master. I will never be favored. If my second brother really does these things, I will definitely arrest him in prison."
"Very good, I'm not mistaken about you. When this matter is done, I will definitely speak well for you." The county magistrate said happily.
"I wonder what specific investigation plan will be for Captain Wan next?" asked Master You.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I want to formulate a careful investigation plan. I can't alert the enemy for the time being." Wan Xiutian responded.
"After all, this matter involves your brother. In order to ensure that you do not wrongly accuse your family, I suggest you follow this clue. Didn't your second brother get the map? The next step will definitely find a way to retrieve the treasure from the ancient tomb. You will secretly monitor and investigate. When the people and robberies are captured, it will not be too late to arrest them. In this way, Wan Xiucai will not be wronged." Master You suggested.
"Thank you for your advice. I will handle it with caution and will never let anyone who violates the law and discipline escape from the legal gate." Wan Xiutian's tone of affirmative voice was as if he had issued a military order for himself.
After making a promise in front of the county magistrate and the master, Wan Xiutian returned to the cell. He wanted to ask the ghost again, and hoped that this matter would really not involve the second brother Wan Xiucai.
Seeing Wan Xiutian leave, Master You smiled treacherously and said, "Don't worry, sir, everything is under our control."
"How to deal with the following matters specifically? I don't care. I only care about the money Bai Yang promised to give, and when will it be delivered to me to the mansion?" The county magistrate said disapprovingly.
"Bai Yang said that as long as you get the confession, you can send the money to the master's mansion tonight." Master You said affirmatively.
"With this confession and those evidences, you can basically convict Wan Xiucai. This will make it cheaper. I warn you that the emperor will pass by our county soon. If you cause any trouble for me, don't blame me for turning against others." The county magistrate warned sternly.
"Sir, please rest assured that the Red Hell King has already said hello. We have the final say on how to deal with the rest."
"Come on, go to Wanfu Pharmacy and tell Bai Yang that the matter has been completed. Let him send someone to the master's mansion tonight." The master called a yamen runner and ordered.
"Yes!" The yamen runner is very sensible. No matter what, he doesn't ask more questions. He can just pass it to Bai Yang according to the original words of the master.
"Sir, please rest assured. When you return to the mansion tonight, wait for the cash receipt." The master said to the county magistrate.
All plans for Wan Xiucai are in progress smoothly. Wan Xiucai, who has been proud, is still in an excited period at this moment, especially when he heard that Hai Gui was hunted by his enemies because of his cheating. In this way, Wan Xiucai has lost the trouble of sharing the spoils, and the baby can be completely taken for himself. Wan Xiucai even hopes that Hai Gui will be killed. In the future, no one will know the whereabouts of the baby except himself.
Wan Xiutian asked about the case again in the cell, and the answers he got were exactly the same as those in the confession, without any new gains.
At night, Chang Yiyi was restless in the room, not knowing what Wan Xiutian found. Rui Zhi had been monitoring Bai Yang for the past two days, and did not know if there were any new discoveries and clues.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door outside the room.
It must be Rui Zhi who came back. If Wan Xiutian didn't knock on the door, Chang Yiyi immediately went to open the door.
"Tell me quickly, what's new?" Chang Yiyi asked impatiently.
"Oh, I found nothing. Today was very peaceful. Maybe I let them sleep too hard last night. Today is very honest." Rui Zhi responded listlessly.
"No, Wan Xiutian revealed that he had new clues, and I also told him our discoveries and suspicions that he should take action. How could Bai Yang sit still?" Chang Yiyi didn't understand what was going on.
"Oh, by the way, a yamen runner came to find Bai Yang today." Rui Zhi suddenly remembered what happened to the yamen runner.
"It's not new to the yamen runners go to the pharmacy to buy medicine." Chang Yiyi responded casually.
"It shouldn't be the one who bought medicine. When I saw the yamen runners in, I just said something to Bai Yang, and then came out. In less than a minute, it didn't look like buying medicine. There was no movement afterwards, so I'm sure there must be a ghost here. After we communicated like this, I felt something was wrong." Rui Zhi seemed to guess something.
