Chapter 10: Man dies for money
Early the next morning, Liu Xianling prepared breakfast, everyone ate in a hurry, and went on their own roads.
Liu County ordered Xu Wenbin and others to rush to the southwest to Jiepai Mountain, and Liu Guangyi, the head of the yamen, rushed to the southeast to Xijiang Town with several officials.
Master Tian stayed in the yamen and took care of the affairs of the yamen, and the jailers still guarded the prison.
The words are divided into two ends, one for each table. Now let's say that after Yang Yulang, Murong Gang, and Tu Hu washed Yihong Courtyard with blood, they packed up all the valuables in Yihong Courtyard and swept them away. They took advantage of the darkness to leave Jiepai Town and return to the grass hut in the col of Jiepai Mountain.
Under the candlelight, the three brothers looked at the fruits of victory in a daze.
Yang Yulang was shocked and asked, "Big brother, second brother, we made a fortune overnight, what are we going to do next?" ”
"What's going on? Recruit and expand your team. If we have the strength, we are not afraid of the government looking for trouble. Tu Hu said.
"However, we have bloodied Yihong Courtyard and killed so many people, what should we do if the government investigates it? It's not far from Jiepai Town, and sooner or later it will be discovered. In my opinion, it's better to plan ahead
。 Yang Yulang said.
"The third child is not unreasonable, we should plan ahead. Although Jiepai Mountain belongs to the border of the two provinces, it belongs to the place where the three do not care, and over time, it will naturally be discovered. Boss Murong Gang said
。
"Where can we go? The matter of the bloodbath in Yihong Courtyard will be in an uproar as soon as it dawns. The two of us have a criminal record, and the government is pursuing it, in case we get out of Jiepai Mountain and fall into the hands of the government, then it will be new
If the old accounts are settled together, then we will not die? In my opinion, hide these things first, and then plan after the rumors have passed. Tu Hu suggested.
What the second brother said is extremely true. So be it! I have no criminal record, and tomorrow I'll go to the town to find out the news, and if it's calm, then we won't have to hide. If the wind is tight, then we will take refuge for the time being
Deep mountains and old forests. Yang Yulang said.
Murong Gang and Tu Hu heard this, and said in unison: "This idea is good, let's take a look first." ”
"Two elder brothers, the bloodbath of Yihong Courtyard is not trivial, the government must be very tight, we can't spend this money indiscriminately for the time being, the only way is to bury it and wait until the rumor has passed before starting." Yang Yu
Lang said. The reason why he said this was actually that he had other ideas.
During the day, the three brothers wandered around Jiepai Mountain, looking for a suitable place to bury the blood-stained gold and silver jewelry, and at night, the three of them sneaked to a very secret mountain in Jiepai Mountain
The cave buried all the gold, silver and jewelry, leaving only a few dozen taels of silver as daily expenses.
After everything was done, the three brothers returned to the grass house to discuss the recruitment of troops. It wasn't until the third watch that they went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Yang Yulang got up and dressed up, Murong Gang and Tu Hu prepared breakfast, and the three of them ate a little hastily and acted separately.
Yang Yulang went to Jiepai Town to inquire about the news, Murong Gang stayed on the mountain, and Tu Hu went to the west mountain to find a place to live.
Yang Yulang took a few taels of silver and went east to Jiepai Town to inquire about the news. Along the way, he thought in his heart: "The two brothers have a history of murder, and the government must still be pursuing it, and now they are bloodbathing Yihong Courtyard."
The government will definitely suspect them, I am a newcomer, and I still have a good future, and I must not be sent to death with them.
I have to find a way to get rid of them, how to get rid of them? In terms of ability, I am helpless, and in terms of wisdom, they are not as good as me. I had to think of a surefire way to get rid of them and keep them to myself
That fortune. How can this be done? Yang Yulang thought hard.
When he came to the town, Yang Yulang walked around and saw those paintings and shadows with the portraits of Murong Gang and Tu Hu painted on them, and the bounty list was also posted.
Yang Yulang came to the list and looked at it, and the official asked, "This brother, do you see the two people above?" They are murderers, if you can tell us if you see them, we can take you to the county government
Bounty. ”
Yang Yulang pretended to identify it carefully, and said seriously: "These two people are a little familiar, as if they have met somewhere, but they can't remember it for a while." ”
"It's okay, think about it slowly, and when you think of it, you will go to the county government of Taiping County and tell Master Tian that the reward of fifty taels of silver is a lot." The official said.
Yang Yulang nodded in agreement with a happy look, but in fact, he thought of a poisonous plan in his heart.
"Poor master, will these two people be beheaded if they are caught? If the court doesn't kill them, won't we, the common people, suffer? In particular, those who denounce them have dire consequences. "Yang Yulang one
The deputy said with a worried look.
"Brother, rest assured, this time it is not Liu Xianling who is trying the case, but Lord Xu Wenbin, a first-class detective. Lord Xu is resourceful, and he has several right-hand men under him, and no matter how cunning a criminal is, he can't escape his five fingers
Mountain. Have you ever heard of the Meizhou bloody case that shocked the government and the opposition? That case was solved by Lord Xu. Compared with the case of Murong Gang and Tu Hu and the Meizhou blood case, it is a big deal, I believe that as long as Lord Xu
As soon as he intervened, the case would soon come to light. The official said.
Although Yang Yulang grew up by the Xijiang River, thousands of miles away from Meizhou, he had already heard of the Meizhou bloodbath, and the name of Xu Wenbin, the county commander of Meizhou, was even more thunderous.
"Yipin County Order came to Taiping County, and this case will be solved soon. Since Xu Wenbin locked on the suspects in the bloody Yihong Courtyard is Murong Gang and Tu Hu, why don't I just plan it? Yang Yulang thought of this
decided to ask again. "Brother Cha, Lord Xu is resourceful, does he know where these two suspects are hiding?" Yang Yulang asked tentatively.
"As soon as Lord Xu came, he had an idea. The case of the bloody Yihong Courtyard occurred in Jiepai Town, which is not far from Jiepai Mountain, which is the border between the two provinces, and belongs to the three regardless of the zone, and Lord Xu admits it
It is possible for the suspect to hide in Jiepai Mountain. If you guessed correctly, Lord Xu has already gone to Jiepai Mountain today. The official said.
When Yang Yulang heard this, his face suddenly changed.
When the official saw it, he asked curiously, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, it's my old headache, I'll get better after a while. Farewell. Yang Yulang said and left in a hurry.
When the officials saw that Yang Yulang suddenly fell ill, they believed it, and they only targeted the two people on the picture, and did not care about the others.
Yang Yulang walked a few hundred meters in one breath, turned to another street, and saw a pharmacy next to the street, so he couldn't help but walk in.
The owner of the pharmacy, wearing reading glasses, was settling accounts at the counter, and when he saw someone coming in, he put down his work and greeted him.
"Little brother, do you want to buy medicine?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Yes, lately, my family has appeared in droves of rats, and the food and clothing in the house have been ruined by the damn rats. I want to buy some rat medicine and go back and destroy them. Yang Yulang said.
"How much to buy?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Too many rats, too little is useless, so I think more is better." Yang Yulang said.
The shopkeeper listened, didn't say a word, and immediately weighed four taels of arsenic, packed it and handed it to Yang Yulang.
Yang Yulang paid the silver, walked around the street for a while, bought a bottle of Zhuangyuan Red in the hotel, and turned it back to Jiepai Mountain. Before Xu Wenbin and the others arrived, he wanted to send Murong Gang and Tu Hu to the West Heaven.
As long as the two of them die, Xu Wenbin's trial will cut off the clues. Naturally, the gold and silver jewels fell into my hands, and then I found a remote place to hide. Wait until the one-year term one
When I arrived, I would take the bride price of 10,000 taels of silver and hand it to Liu Youde, and Liu Youde would obediently withdraw. Wait, Mer, the two of us will soon have happy days. Yang Yulang thought
Here, the heart is snickering. He didn't dare to delay, and trotted all the way out of Jiepai Town back to the grass house in Jiepai Mountain.
"Big brother, second brother, it's not good, Yipin County ordered Xu Wenbin to come to Taiping County, he is now rushing to Jiepai Mountain with his subordinates, this place can't stay for a long time, let's move immediately." Yang Yulang entered the grass house,
Seeing that Murong Gang and Tu Hu were there, he said with a panicked look.
"That's right! Transfer immediately. Big brother, we might as well go to that cave to hide for a while, and wait until the people from the government leave before we find a way to escape elsewhere to recruit troops. Tu Hu said.
"The second brother is right, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to prepare early. I don't think the people of the government will stay on this mountain for the rest of their lives. Yang Yulang took over the conversation and said.
Although Murong Gang had some concerns, things had come to this point, and he had to make such a choice. The three brothers hastily packed up and rushed to the hidden cave in the depths of the Jiepai Mountain. Come to the cave
, Yang Yulang took out the 'champion red' that had been done in advance, and Tu Hu took out three cups from his bag and placed them on the stone table.
"Big brother, second brother, the younger brother has just entered the green forest, I don't know the rules, today the younger brother went down the mountain and specially bought a bottle of good wine to honor the two elder brothers, please make sure the two brothers drink it." Yang Yulang said that he was full
Three glasses of wine.
"Big brother, since the third brother is sincere, we have no choice but to accept it, come, cheers!" Tu Hu said, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Murong Gang saw Yang Yulang's expectant gaze, and he had no choice but to toast.
"Third brother, come, let's do it together!" Murong Gang said.
Yang Yulang was afraid that Murong Gang would be suspicious, so he picked up his wine glass and touched it with Murong Gang, and then pretended to be a Sven man to hide his sleeves and drink. As soon as Murong saw that Yang Yulang had done it, he also threw his neck up and did it.
"The eldest brother, the second brother, the younger brother is not strong enough to drink, so I will go first to make it convenient, and I will be lost." Yang Yulang said and went to the grass outside the cave.
"Big brother, it's not good! We're fooled. It's poisonous! Suddenly, Tu Hu clutched his stomach and said painfully.
Murong Gang also felt a heart-rending cramping pain in his stomach at this time.
Tu Hu Qikong bled and fell to the ground with a whimper, Murong Gang regretted it and sighed: "Raising a tiger - for trouble." After a while, he also bled to death.
Yang Yulang looked at the entrance of the cave, and he could see the situation in the cave very clearly.
Murong Gang and Tu Hu are dead, and he has no worries. The gold, silver, and jewelry belonged to him alone, and for the sake of prudence, he buried the precious jewelry, necklaces, jade bracelets, and other women's jewelry in secret
In a small stone cave, he only carried a few thousand taels of silver on the road.
