A county magistrate was killed in Qing dynasty. Why didn't the robbers pretend not to know?

Because the Qing dynasty was not as technologically advanced as it is now, we can compare systems and things. At that time, it was up to acquaintances to recognize faces and things, and the most important thing was that after the robbers pretended to be the magistrate, the whole people hid in the palace, and anyone with connections was killed by them when they visited. Over time, no one knows about it, but after a long time, it will also make others suspect. Finally, they were told to their brother by the wife of the former magistrate, so they later told the magistrate the news.

According to records, in the third year of Kangxi, an official named Guo Shichun was sent to Chizhou, Anhui Province to be the magistrate there, so he packed his bags and took his family to Chizhou for business. Because he had a lot of luggage and a glamorous team, he quickly attracted the attention of a group of thieves and was finally killed, while his wife stayed because of her beautiful appearance. After knowing why this motorcade went, these thieves were very arrogant, that is, pretending to be Guo Shichun to be the magistrate himself, because the ancient people's cognition of the opposite side was often not so convenient now, so these thieves finally pretended to be a good official who pleaded for the people in the local area. It was a joke.

It can be said that perhaps officials are addicted to it. Thieves can be said to have managed Chizhou in an orderly way, and their reputation has gradually spread. Because Guo Zhifu's fellow villagers knew that he was doing well in Chizhou, people came to visit him slowly, but thieves always killed all the people who visited him to prevent exposure. After a long time, and the tourists didn't return, they asked Mrs. Guo's brother to see them. It can be said that they saw the clue at a glance, so they saw the post.

Because Guo, the former magistrate, is dead, and now the magistrate is a robber. He intends to move all the money in his family, but he doesn't want to be exposed. Finally, it was won by the Taoist priest, and this impostor case can be ended here.
