Chapter 83: Jianghu affairs, Jianghu rules
Less than half an hour after entering the cell, Du Ruo came out. Less than half an hour after he came out, he came in again. However, this time, he was accompanied by Chu Tianfang. In addition, Xue Hongyi personally escorted the two of them off.
Entered the Xuanzihao detention room.
In fact, after what Du Ruo did in the cell, even if they were sent to the cell again, no one would dare to offend him.
However, this time, the prefect Chen Zhiyun personally ordered Xue Hongyi to be sent to the detention room.
The Xuanzi No. detention room is naturally different. It is about the same size, but very clean and tidy. The bed is also a wooden bed instead of a stone bed. The quilt is prepared, and the straw quilt is not thrown away casually like in the dungeon.
There was a table, several stools, and an oil lamp in the holding room.
The two detectives behind Xue Hongyi carried some books and put them on the table, leaving a fire certificate.
Xue Hongyi looked at the small skylight and said: "The environment here is naturally not comparable to that of an inn. You can feel aggrieved for the time being. I also brought the books for you so you can review your lessons. If you don't have time, I will do it for you."
You submit an application to the prefect to take part in the provincial examination."
Chu Tianfang changed his clothes and tidied his hair. Although his face was still injured, his spirit was much better. He raised his hands to Xue Hongyi and saluted, "Thank you, Xue Baantou."
Xue Hongyi waved her hand and said: "You're welcome. Speaking of which, it's the Yamen's negligence that has made you suffer so much this time. Alas, actually, I'm also sorry for you. I know some of the rules in the prison.
However, even though I am the chief arrest officer, I am affiliated with the Criminal Investigation Department, and the prison is affiliated with the Criminal Investigation Department, so I have no way to interfere."
Chu Tianfang said hurriedly: "No, no, no, I can't blame you, Xue Baotou."
Xue Hongyi looked at Du Ruo again, wanting to say something, but finally opened her mouth but did not say anything.
She just went to see the situation in the cell, and she was also shocked. It was so cruel, and she couldn't imagine that a graceful scholar could do this.
What surprised her even more was Du Ruo's calmness after the murder. When faced with the accountability of the Criminal Division, he was able to quote the laws of the Qin Dynasty and absolve himself of all responsibilities.
Of course, the role of Du Ruo's reputation as a scholar cannot be discarded.
Xue Hongyi lamented that if Du Ruo made such a fuss this time, Jinling Yamen did not know how many people would be dismissed. The first ones to bear the brunt must be the people who manage the prison in the Criminal Department. One Zhengqi has been directly suspended for investigation, and several
The cell leader and jailer were even imprisoned directly.
The responsibility does not lie with Du Ruo.
He shouldn't have appeared in the dungeon in the first place. For this reason, he had little responsibility for killing someone. What's more, the murder weapon was not his.
There is really no one who can protect the prison chief.
Xue Hongyi sighed and said: "Du Ruo, you should be able to go out soon. Don't cause trouble. In addition, Chu Tianfang, your situation is relatively complicated. The little girl's contract of prostitution is with Canglang Helper."
Here, if you still refuse to hand over the little girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out for a while."
Chu Tianfang's face looked a little ugly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Xue Captou, are you in trouble?"
Du Ruo opened his eyes slightly, feeling a little confused.
That little girl must be talking about the little girl that Chu Tianfang snatched from the Canglang Gang last night. Du Ruo thought that the little girl arrived at the government office after Chu Tianfang was arrested, and it should not take long.
Back to the Canglang Gang, it was time for Chu Tian to be released from prison.
But now it seems that the situation is different.
Xue Hongyi sighed and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know that the little girl is where I am. However, I originally wanted to discuss it with the Canglang Gang in private and buy the deed of sale.
This matter has been resolved, but after what happened today, I’m afraid the Canglang Gang won’t let go.”
Chu Tianfang frowned slightly, "This..."
Du Ruo stood up slowly. He understood clearly that Xue Hongyi should have felt compassion when he arrested Chu Tianfang. After discussing with Chu Tianfang, he took the little girl away privately.
Du Ruo looked at Xue Hongyi with some surprise. He really didn't expect that this female head catcher who seemed to be meticulous and business-like had this side.
Seeing Du Ruo stand up, Xue Hongyi asked, "What do you have to say?"
Du Ruo cupped his hands and said: "Xue Captou, Brother Chu, actually, the matter you mentioned can be easily solved. There are two ways. The first is that Brother Chu insists that the little girl was lost by him and is willing to pay a high price for compensation.
.”
"No." Xue Hongyi said decisively: "If we had done this, the case would have been closed long ago. If we had done this, Chu Tianfang would be charged with robbery, and his reputation as a scholar would be removed."
Xue Hongyi looked at Du Ruo and said displeasedly: "What is your bad idea!"
Du Ruo said helplessly: "I don't have a second way."
Chu Tianfang's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Du, please give me some advice."
"It's very simple," Du Ruo sat on the bed and said, "Both of you have entered a misunderstanding and always want to use official means to deal with it. However, you have forgotten that the Canglang Gang was eaten to death by the Jinling Prefecture.
, but they are a Jianghu gang after all, and their rules are Jianghu rules!"
Xue Hongyi frowned and asked in confusion: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Du Ruo said: "You have forgotten who Brother Chu is. He is a disciple of Heshan Academy, one of the seventy-two academies in the world. He is a force that can influence the entire world. A mere Canglang Gang is nothing."
"Xue Baotou, as long as you send a letter to Heshan Academy now, Heshan Academy will send someone here in a few days. Although this is not the middle of Sichuan, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, but the Canglang Gang will not fight for an irrelevant person.
The little girl really got into a fight with Heshan Academy."
"When the time comes, all we need is for Heshan Academy to invite someone with some reputation to go to the Canglang Gang and give the Canglang Gang a step up. It will be easy to say that they will sell themselves and give some money to show their willingness."
Chu Tian's eyes widened and he said: "Hey, Brother Du's move is brilliant. Xue Captou can do it. You don't even need to send a letter to Shuzhong. I have some senior brothers who are working in Zhenjiang County, which is only one or two miles away from Jinling."
I will send you a letter in the next day and give you the specific address. Please send it to me."
Xue Hongyi nodded, looked at Du Ruo, and said, "I didn't expect Du Xiucai, a scholar, to be so familiar with the rules of the world. It's really surprising."
