County Magistrate Xu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and immediately said to County Captain Jiang, "Hurry and arrest these two men for torture, we must extract a confession about Zou Hai's handling of the fake household registrations."
"Yes." County Captain Jiang answered, immediately ordering Luo Wu to seize Clerk Li and Secretary Chi.
The homes of these two clerks were located in an alley not far from the county government. Luo Wu led his men directly to the homes of the clerks and effortlessly escorted them to the county government.
On the way, Clerk Li and Secretary Chi, panicked, asked, "Constable Luo, what does Lord County Magistrate want with us at the county government? We are honest officials who have done our duty, not the brutal kind who exploit others. The County Magistrate must see this clearly."
