At this point, the old man surnamed Zhao already knew that there would be no luck today, so he suddenly sat on the ground and burst into tears! Seeing his useless look, Liu Haojia felt disgusted and casually waved his hand to signal the soldiers to drag him aside.
Afterwards, people in the Zhao family were escorted out one after another. Men, women, old and children knelt in a long row on the street. For a while, they cried loudly! It seems that the Zhao family is indeed prosperous! As for the servants of the Zhao family, except for some close friends of the Zhao family, Liu Haojia directly recruited them on the spot and took a lot of money from the Zhao family to send them away.
At this time, the soldiers were moving everything in Zhao's mansion to the street and displaying it in front of everyone. Boxes of ingots, calligraphy and paintings, and various overseas treasures appeared one by one in front of everyone's eyes! Especially those overseas things, which are completely beyond the reach of people like the Zhao family who cultivate and study and inherit the family, and it further confirms his identity as the master of the pirate den! For a time, the people were yelling and cursing!
At this moment, a group of people rushed towards a sedan from the end of the long street. The bearer had already reached the point where he was out of breath and still didn't dare to stop. He didn't stop until he got close to the human wall of soldiers! Judging from the appearance of the entourage, it seems that Magistrate Qian has arrived!
As soon as the sedan stopped, before the bearer could open the curtain, Magistrate Qian got out of the sedan and walked straight towards Liu Haojia! But he was immediately stopped by soldiers with their spears raised! When Magistrate Qian saw this, he became furious and shouted: "I am the Magistrate of Quanzhou, let me go quickly!"
But the soldier who stopped him didn't seem to hear him. Instead, one of his servants got too close and was hit by a scabbard! At this time, Magistrate Qian finally understood what it means for a scholar to meet a soldier, and he couldn't explain why! He was so anxious that he could only shout outside the human wall: "Liu Haojia, I am here, stop immediately!"
Liu Haojia immediately heard someone calling his name, and his face suddenly turned gloomy! Because in this era, when people address someone, they either call them by their first name or their surname. No one will call them by their first name and surname together, because this is already an act that is almost abusive!
Liu Haojia turned to look at the place where the voice came from, and saw Magistrate Qian waving to him behind a wall of soldiers! He sneered and told Time: "Bring him here!"
The person behind him took the order and went to the soldiers to tell them to get out of the way. Seeing the gap in the human wall, Magistrate Qian strode straight towards Liu Haojia, but did not see the servants behind him, and all the servants were stopped.
He ran up to Liu Haojia and said to Liu Haojia who was sitting on the horse: "Mr. Liu, what are you doing? Why did you break into the gentry's mansion during the day to commit murder! Let Mr. Zhao and his family go!"
The Liu Hao family heard what Magistrate Qian was saying but did not dismount. They directly condescended to the era: "Master Qian, you asked me to let go of the Zhao family, but do you know that the Zhao family is the owner of the pirate den! His family raised a group of pirates and did a lot What an evil thing! You must have heard of the name Venomous-Eyed Osprey, right?"
Magistrate Qian was stunned when he heard this! At first, he thought that Liu Haojia was so anxious that he couldn't buy the goods, so he jumped over the wall and took it out on the Zhao family! But now the Zhao family has become the owner of a pirate den, which makes him a little undecided! But he still had the time: "Mr. Liu, are you telling the truth? You know, there is no conclusive evidence. Your accusation that the Zhao family is the owner of a pirate den is a very serious matter!"
Liu Haojia era: "The Poison-Eyed Osprey is now in the Navy Prison! I also have his autographed confession and account books! If Mr. Qian wants to see it, you can go directly to the Navy Camp to check it out. .”
Then he pointed to the confession and account book on the ground and said: "There are copies here that you can look at, but they may have been stained by mud and water!"
Magistrate Qian looked down and saw confessions and account books scattered on the ground. When he saw the old man named Zhao again, he knew it! This is real evidence! The Zhao family is finished!
Magistrate Qian finally calmed down at this time! He knew that if it was true as Liu Haojia said, it would be an ironclad case, and if he interfered further, he would be seeking death! So he decided to take a break from the whole thing and get some benefits along the way!
He thought about the times: "I see! But I didn't expect that the Zhao family, which appears to be a scholarly family, would do such dirty things behind the scenes! It's all thanks to Mr. Liu's discernment! But this matter is my Quanzhou matter. Please also ask Mr. Liu to hand over these prisoners to me!"
Liu Haojia naturally knew what Magistrate Qian was planning! If he could get hold of the prisoners of the Zhao family, he would not only be able to find out the situation and pick them clean, but he could also get countless benefits from the Zhao family's property! But how could he let Magistrate Qian get his wish! So he chuckled and said, "Why?"
Qian Zhifu pulled on his official robe and said, "I am the prefect of Quanzhou, so the affairs in Quanzhou City naturally fall under my jurisdiction!"
Liu Haojia lowered his waist slightly, stared into his eyes and said, "Did Mr. Qian forget one thing? When your Majesty established the navy, he issued an edict to the world. It clearly stated, 'All piracy matters are salty. With that!'! If you have the money to read poetry and books, you should know what your majesty means!"
Magistrate Qian was stunned again when he heard this! In his opinion, the emperor's edict has no meaning at all to officials like them who are far away from the emperor, so the master usually reads this kind of edict and then tells him the general content! But now Liu Haojia told him word for word, how could he say it!
Liu Haojia knew what was going on just by looking at him, and he said with a "hum": "If Mr. Qian doesn't believe it, you can go back and ask your master! Now, Mr. Qian, please get out of the way, I have to rush down." Arrest the family to prevent them from escaping!”
After saying that, Liu Haojia clamped the horse's belly, and the horse rushed out against Qian Zhifu's arm, shocking him! Magistrate Qian was about to curse that no one was around to help him, but then he realized that all the servants and servants he had brought with him were blocked outside!
Seeing this, he couldn't help but cursed secretly and walked quickly to his sedan. At this time, Liu Haojia had already led people to the street corner.
As soon as Magistrate Qian got into the sedan, he kicked the bottom of the sedan and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and catch up! Let's see which house he goes to!"
The bearers did not dare to neglect, lifted up the sedan and ran with great strides, heading straight in the direction Liu Haojia turned. Along the way, Magistrate Qian refused to lower the sedan curtain, but kept urging the bearers to run!
The sedan turned two streets, and he saw Liu Haojia had stopped in front of a mansion. At the same time, soldiers had already knocked open the door and rushed into the mansion! Magistrate Qian started to complain at the slightest thought! It turns out that this family is also one of the big local families, the Hu family!
