Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 39

The next day.

Under Sun Chuanting's guidance, Su Hao got to know all the officials in the Shangqiu county government.

The structure of the county government in Daming is actually very simple, mainly the county magistrate, also called the county lord, followed by the county magistrate and the master book.

These three are the real officials of the imperial court. There are ranks in the court. The county magistrate is the eighth-rank official, and the county master is the ninth-rank official. , Patrolling and arresting various affairs, the county magistrate of Shangqiu County is called Xie Fei, who is from Juren, and the county head Bo is called Yan Xing, who is from subordinate staff.

Under the three court officials, there is the history of the Dian Shi, who has no rank and is not popular. His usual duty is to look after the prison of the county government.

Finally, there are three classes and six rooms: the third class is the soap class, the fast class, and the strong class, which are responsible for guards of honor, public security, and arrests.

Originally, outsiders like Su Hao would be rejected in the county yamen, because in Daming, the subordinate officials are the ancestral jobs, and the subordinate officials in the entire county government have formed friendships from their ancestors several generations ago, not to mention As soon as he came, he squeezed out Zhou Wei, the original head catcher.

However, people are also realistic. After Sun Chuanting took his hand and introduced to everyone that this was his nephew, the atmosphere of the entire county government suddenly became harmonious. Be amiable.

Even Zhou Wei, who was squeezed out of the position of head arrester by him, was a smiling prince and queen, with an attitude of looking forward to him, because Zhou Wei knew that, as Sun Chuanting, he would not stay in Shangqiu County for long. Hao also won't stay here for long, and sooner or later the position of the headhunter will still be his.

The other police officers are also flattering. Everyone knows that it is better to be in charge of the current officials. Su Hao is not only the current official, but also the current management. If Su Hao is annoyed, their ancestral iron rice bowl will be ruined.

They are no match for Zhou Wei. Although Zhou Wei has been squeezed out of the position of head catcher, he still has the strength of second-rate martial arts. Once Su Hao leaves, the head catcher's position is still Zhou Wei's. The police are different. Once they lose their jobs, there are plenty of people to replace them.

In this way, Su Hao started to eat public meals in a friendly atmosphere.

.........

Criminal room dossier.

Su Hao was flipping through the accumulated case files in the county government office. At this time, a government servant hurried in and said, "Young master, the county lord is here to invite you."

"What did the county lord say?"

Su Hao raised his brows. He has been a head arrester for almost a month. Although there were some cases in the county, most of them were trivial matters. Basically, Zhou Wei took people to deal with them. Therefore, Sun Chuanting, besides inviting him to Aside from having dinner with Ya, they haven't taken the initiative to find him yet.

"My lord, Master Wu, a gentry from the county, came to report the crime just now, and it is probably for this reason that Master Wu invited you."

After thinking about it for a while, the yamen servant said.

"Then I'll go to the back office first, and you put all the files here back to their original places."

After speaking, Su Hao went towards the back office.

When they arrived at Houya, Zhou Wei, Yan Xing, and Xie Fei had already arrived, and besides Sun Chuanting, there was also a middle-aged man about 40 years old, wearing brocade clothes and a long beard.

"Nephew, here we come."

Seeing Su Hao coming in, Sun Chuanting greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Boya, is this the catcher Su you recommended?"

Seeing Su Hao who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, Wu Shiguo hesitated a bit.

Seeing that Wu Shiguo seemed to be doubting Su Hao's ability, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice, "Brother Wu, Brother Fang, don't look at my nephew as young, his ability is not small, you can definitely rest assured."

"Uncle Sun, who is this?"

Seeing that the two were playing charades, Su Hao couldn't help but asked curiously, Sun Chuanting was also aware of the Su family's affairs, although he was the head arrester in Shangqiu County, Sun Chuanting should not ask him to help with ordinary matters.

"Nephew, this is Wu Juren, a gentleman from Shangqiu County."

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice, "This time, something happened to Wu Ju's family, so I need you, nephew, to help."

After finishing speaking, Sun Chuanting said to Wu Shiguo again: "Brother Wu, you can talk to my nephew about the specific situation in person."

Seeing Sun Chuanting's attitude, Wu Shiguo no longer doubted Su Hao's ability, and said with a sad expression: "Su Butou, the thing is like this, the youngest daughter of the old man is seventeen years old, and she suddenly became seriously ill two months ago. The famous doctor in Guide's mansion was found, but unfortunately he was still unable to recover, and passed away in only four or five days."

"Wu Juren, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural. Although it is sad to make Qianjin die of illness, there is no need to sue the officials, right?"

Su Hao frowned. Although he practiced heresy, he didn't have the ability to bring the dead back to life. As for chanting sutras and so on, he couldn't be found like a heresy warlock.

"Su Butou, if he died of illness, the old man would not go to the Yamen to sue the officials."

Wu Shiguo showed hatred: "But a month ago, the shopkeeper of my firm returned from trading in Ye County, Nanyang Prefecture, but told the old man that he saw the old man's youngest daughter in Ye County, so I rushed to Ye County specially for this reason, that face It is indeed a little girl, but that is not a little girl!"

"After the old man came back, he immediately dug out the coffin of the little girl, and the head of the little girl in the coffin had long since disappeared!"

Head change!
Hearing Wu Shiguo's words, Su Hao's eyes narrowed immediately, and he remembered a heretical sorcery recorded in the travel notes of the ancestors of the Su family. In the Caimen, there are some evil-hearted members of the Caimen who will do a kind of heresy. The art of transplanting human heads to animals, creating monsters with human heads and beast bodies, and exhibiting them around to win a lot of rewards from spectators.

However, after numerous suppressions by the imperial court, this heretical sorcery has almost completely disappeared, and I didn't expect to hear it here again.

"Wu Juren means that someone killed your daughter, then stole your daughter's head and moved it to someone else."

After thinking about it, Su Hao still spoke.

"Correct!"

Hearing this, Wu Shiguo gritted his teeth and said, "I also hope that Butou Su can catch the villain and avenge the little girl!"

"Uncle Sun, what do you think of this matter?"

Su Hao didn't agree, but looked at Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting could accept or not accept this kind of case caused by heretical warlocks, because this kind of case has always been the scope of Jin Yiwei's responsibility.

"Nephew, I need to trouble you to make a trip on this matter."

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice.

"Since Uncle Sun said so, I'll take someone to Nanyang."

Hearing Sun Chuanting's words, Su Hao immediately understood the meaning of Sun Chuanting's words. Although Jin Yiwei was responsible for this kind of heresy sorcerer's chaos, this case happened under Sun Chuanting's rule. If it is handed over to Jin Yiwei, Then Sun Chuanting will inevitably have the reputation of dereliction of duty.
