Chapter 15 Wang Lei
"I'll help my dad solve the case!"
After Du Ruo finished speaking, Du Shouyi, who was about to get up, was stunned and shook his head and said, "Ruoer is filial, Dad has taken it. But if you are an amateur in investigating the case, don't join in the fun. Go home and study hard. Even if Dad is not promoted to this official position, it's no big deal, as long as you can have a future."
Du Ruo insisted: "Dad, I'm resting today and nothing happened. Don't worry, I won't interfere with you. You just need to allocate a few policemen who are familiar with this case. I'll investigate it myself, and I will practice as an official in the future."
Du Shouyi smiled with relief and said, "I have not passed the Jinshi exam yet, but I am thinking about becoming an official? But..."
He thought about it again that with Du Ruo's talent and current state, it is not difficult to pass the imperial examination, and being an official must know how to investigate cases. This will first let your son exercise, and become an official in the future, and may be able to gain the reputation of a young and capable minister.
"Okay! I'll call on a few people to you. Everything you want to see and ask about this case is fine, but you must not act without action."
Du Shouyi issued a restriction on Du Ruo, but in fact he wanted him to visit the process and case. It was similar to the meaning of later primary school students visiting the factory.
Du Ruo agreed readily that he would solve the case, so there would be no need to be too troublesome.
In the past few days after the time travel, Du Ruo's mentality has not changed, so he has been close to his parents in this life and has no concern for things that have nothing to do with him.
But now he figured it out. Even if he was not Du Ruo in his soul, in reality, he and Du Shouyi were still fathers and sons connected by blood, and he was destined to share honor and disgrace.
Therefore, he wanted to help Du Shouyi get promoted. After Du Shouyi gets promoted, he can also benefit from it.
At least you can ride on Huang Wutou.
………
Du Shouyi transferred Zhao Dutou of the State Department and five capable yamen runners to assist Du Ruo. This Zhao Dutou Du Ruo had seen him. It was the day when he stopped Huang Wu's servants from the Minjiang River and moved him to Du Tou.
This person is very principled, so Du Ruo has a good impression of him.
"Young Master, the master has given the order. Just let me wait, and I will definitely help you with all my heart."
Zhao Dutou and the yamen runners bowed to Du Ruo. Although he was polite, there was a slight smile on his face. In their opinion, Du Yanei was just having sex, and he just wandered around for a few times when he was tired of it. He was done.
"Yeah, OK."
Du Ruo nodded. He didn't care about the contempt of the few people, but liked this relaxed atmosphere.
"Take me to the prison to meet the suspect."
After Du Ruo finished speaking, there was a yamen runner-leader led by Zhao Dutou, Du Qing accompanied by the rest of the yamen runner-leaders, and the other yamen runners followed and went to the prefectural jail in a mighty way.
The spring breeze blew on his face and felt refreshed. When he passed through the yamen Mingtang, Du Ruo and others happened to meet another official wearing a green official uniform with two followers beside him.
This person has a big belly, a greasy face, a small beard with a character, short eyebrows and small eyes, but his eyes are filled with a gleam that people dare not look down on.
"Meet the judge Huang Tong."
Zhao Dutou and others immediately bowed and bowed. He was Huang Wu's father, Huang Pei, the magistrate of Meizhou, and Du Ruo also knew him, but just glanced at him, but didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Du Ruo, why did you get seriously ill? Even Uncle Huang doesn't know you?"
When Du Ruo saw Huang Pei, he always bowed and shouted to Uncle. When he met Du Ruo, he ignored him and couldn't hold back his face, so he asked directly.
‘Let me call you uncle, you deserve it too?’
After whispering, Du Ruo, who had passed by, turned around and smiled at Huang Pei without a smile: "Your son Huang Wu took my disciple's gift to take off my boots the day before yesterday, do you think you know? So according to etiquette, we are now peers, Brother Huang."
A "Brother Huang" shouted out, and Zhao Dutou and others immediately lowered their heads and smiled. Huang Pei was stunned. He never expected that Du Ruo, who was not yet in front of him, would call him like this, and he was completely confused.
But immediately, he reacted, his fleshy face flushed: "You... are presumptuous! How can you young people take it seriously? Besides, he just took off your boots, when will he recognize you as a teacher?"
"Anyway, only the younger generations have always taken off their boots for the elders. We are peers, Brother Huang!" Du Ruo relied on his youth and became arrogant. Huang Pei was trembling all over, but he couldn't tell him.
He didn't dare to punish Du Ruo. Seeing that Zhao Dutou had a few people laughing, he had to piss off their anger: "You guys! You don't do so much trouble in the yamen, but they are with the playboys. How can they get out of here? "
He guessed that Du Ruo was like Huang Wu, who relied on his father's power to come to the yamen to recruit people as bodyguards.
"Report to Lord Huang, we are ordered by Lord Du to assist the young master in investigating the case." Zhao Du said.
"Investigate the case?" Huang Pei looked at Du Ruo, "What case is investigating?"
"It's the case of real and fake thieves." Zhao Du said head-on.
After the two thieves were captured, the theft case turned into a true and fake thieves case.
When Huang Pei heard this, his little eyes turned around. Filial piety has been praised throughout the dynasties. When an official’s father encounters difficult cases, it is not a taboo to help his son investigate and resolve worries. If the case is solved, it will be a good talk if it is spread.
But if the case cannot be solved, it is a handle. As a magistrate, he can write a memorial to impeach him on this basis, saying that he was involved in the case and disrupted the punishment and official duties. At that time, the superiors will definitely punish Du Shouyi for neglecting his duties and defiance of criminal affairs.
With just this, you can get rid of Du Shouyi and take over it yourself!
‘Hmph! Du Shouyi, Du Shouyi, no matter whether you are seeking medical treatment in an emergency or loving your son, you should not let your son participate. This is because you don’t want your future!’
He was secretly happy that after this case, Huang Pei's main purpose was to block Du Shouyi's path to promotion, but he was not sure whether he could get rid of him. Now Du Ruo got involved, which was really a pie from the sky for him. Now he is very sure to beat Du Shouyi!
Looking at Du Ruo again, Huang Pei smiled like a spring breeze. He loved this playboy who was about to cheat his father.
"Haha, it is rare for Du Ruo to have such filial piety, which makes me admire him. You must assist Du Ruo in investigating the case."
Huang Pei said it very well, but he also believed in his heart that Du Ruo was just curious and did not know how to solve the case.
And he knew better than anyone else that the clues of this case were leaked, and the case was not only as simple as the surface. Even if Du Ruo did this seriously, it would be impossible to solve the case.
"Here!"
Zhao Dutou and others agreed, and Du Ruo was also confused and looked at Huang Peifei's shrewd eyes, but he didn't think much about it, just smiled: "Thank you, Brother Huang, I will make you look at me more impressed in the future."
"Don't call me Brother Huang!"
Huang Peihao's mood was immediately dispersed and he gritted his teeth and warned Du Ruo.
"Okay, Brother Huang, goodbye to Brother Huang."
Du Ruo and a group of people left, leaving Huang Pei who was furious and furious in the spot and his blood pressure soared.
…………
In the prison of the state yamen, Du Ruoxian met the first suspect. He was wearing a dirty prison uniform, a wolf-waisted and tiger-backed body, and a strong body with a tendon. However, he was not rough, his face was a little pale, and his expression was as hard as iron.
"I look like a man."
Du Ruo was a little surprised and didn't believe that such people would steal. Before he came, he thought that the two suspects were both scammers.
"He is named Wang Lei, and he lives in Tonglipu, west of Meizhou City. The young man is idle. Later, he went out to learn martial arts. His father was a Xicheng Gongfu. After his death, he was replaced until the incident occurred."
Zhao Dutou briefly introduced the background of this person. Du Ruo nodded and asked, "How did he be identified as the suspect?"
Zhao Dutou replied in a low voice to Du Ruo: "This time the stolen large households in Meizhou are concentrated in Xicheng District, and Wang Lei is responsible for the fight for the second half of the night in Xicheng District. After the incident, Lord Du has been visiting and investigating the victims. He accidentally learned from one of the residents that he did not hear the fight for the second half of the night."
The Song Dynasty revisionists were supported by the government and each had their own districts. At night, they held bamboo rigs in hand. One beaten by five steps, and a few hits meant the number of updates. One shouted at ten steps, and the content of the shouting was different in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The most familiar thing to people in later generations was the sentence "The sky is dry, be careful of the fire and candle."
Zhao Dutou continued: "Later, Lord Du focused on this. Whenever there was a theft, he would ask nearby residents if they heard the sound of the call in the middle of the night. Some people said that there was a period of time when they heard the sound of the call in the evening."
Although few people stayed up late in the ancients, it did not mean that there were not. There were always a few people with insomnia in thousands of households.
‘You can find such subtle clues, it seems that my dad still has something to do with me.’
Du Ruo glanced at Du Shouyigao, but asked Zhao Dutou again: "This alone is probably not enough to be a suspect, right? After all, the thief must be specifically proposing to commit crimes when the thief is not around."
"How wise we Lord Du is, we naturally thought of this." Zhao Dutou flattered him from a distance and said, "So after discovering Wang Lei's suspicion, Lord Du sent his yamen brothers to follow him. One night, he found that he was hitting an alley but suddenly disappeared. The next day, the Cai family, a wealthy family nearby, reported the case and said that the bank treasury was stolen."
Upon hearing this, Du Ruo said, "Then his suspicion will be severe now, so it should be arrested!"
Zhao Dutou said, "Yes, after the Cai family reported the case that afternoon, Lord Du took us to arrest people. But this martial arts servant is really amazing, and we took great effort to capture him."
Du Ruo looked at Wang Lei who was sitting in prison again and said in surprise: "Is it because he almost escaped under the siege of the Five Hundred Fen Army?"
What Du Ruo did not expect was that Zhao Dutou shook his head at him: "It's not him, there's someone else!"
"What?"
