Chapter 34 Recruiting Soldiers to Resist the Bandits
Xiangzheng organized people to salvage, but after an hour, nothing was harvested. There were some broken cans and vats, as well as rotten wood and broken fishing nets. These things were fished out and placed on the table. It happened to be a market, and there was a lot of traffic.
People came to watch and see if Niu Dayuan could be fished out.
You must know that Niu Dayuan is tall, young, and has a lot of strength. Most people can't do anything to him.
Suddenly, someone touched something. When Xiang Zheng heard the report, he asked him to get it and take a look.
An experienced boatman, it seems that he has fished out many people who committed suicide. This time he was able to catch them. He didn't plan to fish them out at first because he wanted to get more wages. If the body was found too easily, it would be considered that it was too easy to make money, so he deliberately took his time.
, making Xiang Zheng feel that it is difficult to make money, so that it is worthwhile.
What was fished out was the corpse of a man, as strong as an ox. His clothes were soaked and clinging to his body, making him look even stronger. After inspection and recorded in the file, the man had a stab wound on his back, from the back.
The puncture was very deep, and it almost penetrated the back. A heart puncture was performed, and it can be seen that the blood was flowing like a gush at that time. The pond was long and narrow, and the water was running water. The flowing water took away a lot of blood and diluted it. In winter, it is relatively cold.
The corpse had not yet decomposed and was found in time, so it was easy to distinguish.
As soon as he saw this situation, Yinhu knew that this was Niu Dayuan.
He signaled to Magistrate Xiang Zheng, who understood what he meant and went to a secluded place with him.
Yinhu said to Xiang Zheng: "If you want to solve the case, you need to do this."
He whispered his opinion in Xiang Zheng's ear, and Xiang Zheng nodded frequently, smiled happily, and said yes again and again.
After returning, Xiang Zhengyan said: "Folks, the body is that of Niu Dayuan. The evidence has shown that Niu Dayuan was killed by bandits in the mountains. Let's all go back and take more precautions. It's best to go in groups when going out, don't go alone.
Bandit activities have been frequent recently. It may be that the New Year is approaching and the bandits want to steal things to celebrate the New Year. Everyone must be careful when going out. When you are at home, you must close the doors, windows and courtyards to avoid giving opportunities to bandits."
After Xiang Zheng finished speaking, everyone slowly dispersed. They roughly figured out the cause of Niu Dayuan's death, satisfied their curiosity, and were quite satisfied with this explanation. Maybe it was limited to their cognitive level. They believed Xiang Zheng's statement very much and would not question it.
, all believed it to be true and prepared to deal with the bandits as instructed by Xiang Zheng.
Xiang Zheng asked Niu Dayuan's parents to take his son's body back for burial, and gave him a pension to comfort him. He also promised to avenge his son, catch all the gangsters, and punish them severely. Niu Dayuan's parents saw that their parents were acting like this, so they had no choice but to give up.
There is nothing we can do.
After arranging Niu Dayuan's funeral arrangements, Xiang Zheng made an announcement.
The announcement reads: Recently, Niu Dayuan, a villager in Niupo Village, was killed by bandits. His money was robbed, people were killed, and he was thrown into the river. Bandits are very rampant and need to be severely punished. Recently, a hundred warriors are needed to carry out an operation to suppress the bandits.
, it is our duty to eliminate bandits, so as not to be invaded by bandits and affect safety. In order to eliminate fear and make everyone feel happy, if you are interested, you can actively sign up. The recruited warriors will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver."
The announcement was posted everywhere, in the streets and alleys, with the purpose of letting the residents of Baokang County know that it has a great influence. After seeing the announcement, many people were eager to fight to the death with the bandits. They shared the same hatred and wanted to kill all the bandits.
Eliminate it cleanly.
Sure enough, the applicants gathered at the county government office, and Xiang Zheng came to select the talents himself.
Xiang Zheng requires that applicants must be in good health, strong and sturdy, look lively, energetic, and powerful, and be among the elites of the entire Baokang County.
Xiang is patrolling the county government yard, checking carefully, and once he finds any clues, he can solve the case, that is, just like Yinhu said, just follow his example.
Walking up to a man, Xiang Zheng stopped and looked at the man carefully, which made the man feel uncomfortable and uneasy.
Xiang Zheng walked around the man in circles, and suddenly asked: "Tell me, why do you wear a cotton-padded jacket backwards?"
"Sir, I learned that the county was recruiting warriors and was preparing to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits. I was very excited. I grabbed my cotton-padded jacket and put it on without paying attention to whether it was worn right side or backwards." The man said, looking at his expression, he was very panicked.
When he spoke, he was still out of breath, as if he was avoiding or dodging something, especially Xiang Zheng's eagle-like eyes staring at his face, which gave him a creepy feeling and made him want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
, I wish I could go back early, I shouldn’t have come to this place to apply.
Xiang Zheng sneered twice, snorted "Hmph", and loudly ordered: "Whoever comes, take off his coat immediately."
It seemed that the man could not run away, because many police officers had gathered around him.
When he saw that something was wrong, he obeyed and cooperated with the police to take off his coat.
Wu Zuo came over, unfolded the coat, looked at it carefully, and said to Zhengyan: "Tell me, Sir, there are blood stains on this coat. It seems that the blood stains were stained less than a day ago."
"Okay, tell me, where does this blood come from?" Xiang Zheng asked the man.
"Sir, this, this is the blood of the bandit that was left behind when the villain fought with the bandit," the man said.
"Where are the bandits?" Xiang Zhengyan asked.
"The bandits didn't get Xiao's money. They were injured by Xiao and ran away to the mountains and old forests. Xiao Xiao was in a hurry, so he didn't chase him. Because there was no loss, the bandits didn't need to be beaten, so Xiao didn't have any.
Report to the official." The man said.
"That's nonsense! Are you kidding a three-year-old child? The bandits have been eliminated a long time ago. The banditry problem was eliminated three years ago. Now it is a peaceful and prosperous age. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. No one wants to be a bandit. Baokang County has been there for many years.
I have never heard of bandits harming people. The bandits you mentioned do not exist at all. They are a myth. Stop making up stories and recruit them truthfully! The blood on your body was clearly stained and is fresh.
!Say, what's going on? Tell the truth and avoid the pain of flesh and blood! If you resist stubbornly, don't blame me for beating your muscles and peeling off your skin!" said Xiang Zhengyan.
The positive threat worked.
The man began to tremble, as if he was being tortured.
"At the Shiliping Hetang salvage site, Xiao Mingming heard that there were bandits and bandits that had not been wiped out, so he recruited warriors to fight against them. How could he say that there were no more bandits? Isn't that inconsistent? Master!" said the man.
"Haha, are you thinking too much? This is a ploy. The purpose is to lure the fish with heavy gold bait. I didn't expect you to believe it so easily. If you are not a bounty hunter, you will not be prompted to apply. If you don't show up, the criminal will
There is nowhere to search. Don't you think about it, the bandits have been eliminated a long time ago. Besides, the bounty is so huge, more than ever before, isn't it doubtful? Why don't you use your brain to think about whether this is true? Don't blame me for being ruthless.
I can only blame you for your lack of brains. You should think twice before you act no matter what happens. This is a tragic example. Tell me, how did you kill Niu Dayuan?" Xiang Zheng asked.
"Which Niu Dayuan?" the man asked.
"Which Niu Dayuan? It's the one you killed! After the killing, he threw it into the river to destroy the evidence." Xiang Zhengyan said.
"Oh, sorry!"
"Do you still know that you are sorry? He is preparing to get married. Your greed has destroyed human lives, destroyed two families, and you yourself are also dead. What are you really doing? You asked for it all!" Xiang Zhengyan said.
"Hey, you're right, it's too late to regret it now. At that time, I saw Niu Dayuan walking and singing all the way. He looked very happy, and he also had a bulging bag, as if he was holding money. Intuitively, there was money there.
It happened to be a market. Didn't you go to the market to buy something? If you didn't bring goods, you were not doing business. You were just a person. You must be buying something. Where can you buy something without money? Just touch it quietly. Because Niu Dayuan is a tall and powerful person.
, I was worried that I couldn't get him, so I scared him first. The mountain road was rugged and others were too bold. I shouted, "Brothers, tie that kid up and throw him into the river to feed the fish. Unexpectedly, Niu Dayuan ran forward with all his strength, and just in time
He tripped over a stone and fell face down to the ground. I stepped forward, took out the dagger, and stabbed Niu Dayuan in the middle of his back. With a pop, Niu Dayuan died, with blood splattering all over him. Then, I searched a little.
Niu Dayuan found some silver in the items he carried with him, maybe fifty taels. He collected the silver and was afraid that he would float up, so he tied a big stone to his body, pushed him into the river pond, cleaned up the blood on the road, and then
I escaped, but I didn’t expect that the master would find out about it soon. When I arrived at Shiliping to investigate the scene, I mingled in the crowd and watched. When I heard that the master said that it was bandits, I felt relieved. Later I heard that the master was recruiting warriors to go there.
For suppressing bandits in the mountains, I was given a lot of money as a reward, so I was tempted to come and apply. I didn't expect that this was a strategy. I didn't think carefully, so I was fooled and was caught. Alas--" the man said.
"Humph, you're quite honest. Take a look and sign the confession." Xiang Zhengyan said.
"Okay, I read it, it's what I said," the man said.
"Come here, tie up the prisoner and throw him into death row." Xiang Zheng ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone shouted, surrounded the man, and went to the death row to wait for the queen to be executed in order to comfort Niu Dayuan's parents.
The case has been solved, Yinhu and Jinlong did not stay and went to the capital to report on their work.
After hearing Yinhu's introduction, Bu Huishu was not surprised. He knew that Yinhu often followed him and learned a lot of experience. It was a good first try, and it happened to be in Niupo Village. It was God's will. Yinhu solved the case, and Bu Huishu solved the case.
If you can't separate them, you'll be fine if you're constantly exposed to them.
Yin Jian was very satisfied when he heard about Jin Long and Yin Hu's handling of the case. He felt that these two book boys would definitely do great things in the future. They were the welfare and hope of the people. No one should lose hope.
There are more affairs in the capital, and difficult cases from all over the country are sent to Yin Jian's desk and have to be dealt with one by one.
Dali Temple has become a lively place, and the position of Minister of Dali Temple is also a hot one. But whether it is in the capital or in provinces, counties and townships, some accidents still happen on the streets.
One day, it was a day off. Yin Jian took the book boy Jin Long to the antique market. He had this hobby, collecting some strange stones and playing with them. He used this to pass the time and relax his mind to avoid headaches.
As they passed by the city gate, someone suddenly ran over in a hurry. When they saw it, it turned out to be Li Si, the government official.
When Li Si saw it was Yin Jian, he immediately said: "Sir, something bad has happened. There is a person dying on the other side of the city gate."
"Go quickly, go quickly, we haven't died yet." Li Si said hurriedly.
"Let's go and have a look, Jinlong!" Yin Jian ordered, "Li Si, go find Master Hui Shubu and ask him to come to the west gate of the city, quickly!"
"Okay, sir!" Li Si said and ran away quickly.
Yin Jian led Jin Long to the west gate of the city, and found a group of people gathered there. When everyone saw an official coming, they immediately moved out of the way. Yin Jian walked to the injured man, leaned over to look, and found that he had a knife inserted into his chest.
A dagger has not yet expired, but it is already dying, and it seems that it is impossible to survive. The dagger cannot be pulled out. Once it is pulled out, blood will flow profusely, and it will be even harder to survive.
What should I do?
Yin Jian was at his wits' end. The injured person seemed to be a businessman. His clothes were missing, his clothes were scattered, and his hair was messy. It seemed that after a struggle, he finally lost his strength. After being stabbed by the gangster, the gangster ran away with the money.
It was a typical robbery case. The incident happened suddenly, and before I had time to report it to the police, I met Yin Jian.
What's deplorable is that the murderer didn't leave any clues. Looking at the injured, there was only air coming out and no air going in. It was difficult to breathe, let alone talk.
Seeing that this case has reached a deadlock, some people know him, some don't, and those who know him say: "This is Mr. Yin Jian, the minister of Dali Temple in the capital."
Yin Jian knew very well that if the news spread, his reputation would be difficult to say. This case actually happened in the capital and spread to the emperor's ears. It was no small matter. If he wanted to establish prestige, he must solve the case now.
He was thinking about how to respond. Everyone looked at Yin Jian. At this time, another person stepped out of the way and a scholar-looking man came in. At first glance, he recognized some of them. He was Divination Huishu.
He greeted Yin Jian, looked at the scene, and felt that the murderer must be watching in the crowd. Who is this murderer? He needs to outsmart him.
How to outsmart him? He touched the silver ring and had an idea.
He whispered in Yin Jian's ear, and Yin Jian nodded in agreement, having found a way to solve the case. After Bu Huishu finished speaking, he stood up and left, left the scene of the crime, went back to find someone, and informed the Sheriff of the capital.
Deal with it immediately.
Here Yin Jian got the method to implement Divination Book of Hui's strategy.
He stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone has seen that there is an injured person here who is in urgent need of treatment. Who can cure him? Please come forward and save this person. I will definitely give you a heavy reward. I will give you five hundred gold."
two."
No one in the crowd answered.
"In this case, whoever can save him will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold." Yin Jian doubled the reward.
