Chapter 169: Officials come to fetch people ([-])
They set out in the middle of the night and took the water to rush to the two Donglin county policemen who came to Siliu village in the early morning. As soon as they landed, they found that the village was not popular at all, and it was as quiet as a dead village.

Followed by the arrester was another member of the Shen family, who was the second steward who had his thigh injured by Qi Kefei's knife. He dragged his injured leg and leaned on crutches, and walked down the diving board with difficulty.

"This is really Siliu Village? Didn't you say there are people? Why is there no sound at all?" A policeman looked at the limping Shen family steward walking over with disgust.

"At this time, the villagers are all going to the mountains to cut firewood and dig wild vegetables, and they won't come down until noon."

"Where is that woman surnamed Qi who came to rob Zhuangzi?"

"She should be in Zhuangzi, if not, then we can only inquire after the villagers come back."

"It's really troublesome." Another policeman gave the steward a push, "Lead the way ahead and go to Zhuangzi to have a look."

The steward was pushed back a stagger, angry and did not dare to speak back, bowed his head and led the way.

I wanted to enter through the gate, but the two police officers were unwilling to take a long way around. They saw a broken wall and jumped into it. As soon as I felt the pain from the wound, I didn't feel very well immediately, and when I started to walk again, the injured leg became more limping.

"Why are you moving so slowly? Where are you going?"

"I can only look for one room at a time. If she really lives here, she must choose one of the rooms we lived in at the time."

"lead the way."

The second steward led two police officers, and searched house by house with great ferocity. When they came across the houses that were closed, they kicked them with their feet without pushing them with their hands.

Qi Ke, who was concentrating on writing, has been using the space of the spirit realm to cover and monitor the whereabouts of the officials. Knowing that they are searching the house, she calmly pretends to be deaf, waiting for them to search her house.

With a bang, Qi Ke's door was kicked open vigorously.

"It's her!" The second steward standing behind the officer screamed, so excited that the veins on his neck were protruding
Qi Ke seemed to be frightened by the sound of kicking the door. With a shake of his shoulders, he stopped writing, raised his face to look at the door, put down his pen and stood up.

"who are you?"

"Donglin county government arrest, your surname is Qi? You say you are the owner of this village?" The two officials had fierce expressions. Usually, this expression was specially designed to scare the powerless and powerless ordinary people. Anyone who saw it would be afraid.

"It's me, you two poor masters. I've worked so hard all the way here. If you have something to say, don't kick the door and scare the little girl." Qi Ke ignored their expressions at all. She opened the desk drawer and took out a capital-style He handed over his small purse, "Looking at the traces on the upper of the poor man's shoes, it must be a waterway, the water way is cold, please drink a glass of wine to warm up the poor man."

A catcher took the purse, and the weight of the hand made him calm down a bit, at least a little bit, his companion saw it, and eased his expression and tone.

"You were sued by Shen, a big family in the county, saying that you murdered people, pretended to be the owner and forged land deeds to rob houses. Come with us to the county."

"Okay, who is the real owner of this house, I believe the county lord will be able to distinguish right from wrong and make a fair decision."

Qi Ke made it clear that if he didn't get a fair judgment, it would be unfair for the magistrate to judge the case.

"The magistrate must be fair and strict."

"Let's go, the boat is waiting on the river beach, hurry up and arrive at the county in the afternoon."

"For the sake of being a woman, I won't give you that set of guys."

"Don't worry, Master. I came from the capital, and I'm a landlubber on the water. If you let me take a boat, I'm afraid of fainting."

"I'll let you sit on the stern of the boat for a while." The official received such a heavy purse, so it was easy to talk.

"Thank you, Master. Do I need to bring anything to the county?"

"Change clothes, household registration and land deed."

"Okay, let me tidy up, please wait a moment."
