Chapter 1245: The city tyrant escaped from prison and colluded with the mountain bandits
This person was originally called Sun Wu, a green skin in the county, and after the establishment of Mufu Winery, he entered the winery with his own drilling skills. Because he can write and calculate, he was appointed by Mu Liancheng as the wine shopkeeper and is responsible for selling wine. After Sun Wu was in charge, it was found that Mufu Imperial Wine was too scarce, so he started the idea of selling wine, who wanted to buy wine by himself, then he had a rebate of 1 tael to 5 taels, and he didn't dare to say it for more than a few years, and he also earned more than one million taels of silver, and he was a full wine worm.
Sun Wu saw that it was the county and the county, and he dared to hide it, so to tell the truth, Long Xiao was very angry, and then he found Mu Liancheng and told him about the situation, Mu Liancheng also felt embarrassed, he didn't expect that the person he trusted turned out to be a wine worm, so he immediately fired Sun Wu, of course, the more than 1oo taels of silver earned by Sun Wu could not be recovered, because he did not break the law, he just ate a little kickback, and there was no loss in the winery, so he had to let Sun Wu get rid of it. When Sun Wu saw that he was expelled, he was afraid that the county Cheng Zhang would find trouble for himself afterwards, so he quietly moved away, but lived in Linxian County and became a rich man.
Long Xiao and Zhang Cheng returned to the county government after dealing with this matter, and the county Chengwu hurried over, and when he saw Long Xiao, he said: "Lord Long, it's not good, Zhang Santou escaped from prison and ran away." Long Xiao was shocked when he heard it: "Why did you run away in broad daylight?" ”。 Wu was embarrassed: "Lord Long, I didn't run today, I ran last night, and I only appeared this morning." Long Xiao asked what was going on, and Wu Cai explained.
It turned out that Zhang Santou was imprisoned on death row, and he was usually unsupervised, but there was a cell boss at the door, and when it was time to eat, he would send some food to the death row prisoner. Zhang Santou is a death row prisoner, and the family has returned to his hometown, naturally no one came to visit the prison, Zhang Santou ate prison food, what he didn't expect was that the cell boss drank a little more wine last night, and fell asleep, Zhang Santou didn't know what was going on, so he opened the handcuffs and leg irons, and also opened the iron lock of the cell door, so he took advantage of the cell boss to get drunk and killed the cell boss, so he changed into the cell boss's clothes, put on his own clothes, and threw them on his death row. Zhang Santou quietly spared the sentry of the three-story dungeon, and the sentry was also hazy, seeing that it was the cell head who came out, he did not check carefully, Zhang Santou escaped from prison and ran away.
Until the morning, the prison meal was delivered, and the food of the death row prisoner Zhang Santou was not touched, and after a closer look, the person was already dead, and the deceased was the cell leader, but not Zhang Santou, so he knew that Zhang Santou had killed people and escaped from prison. After the county Chengwu found out, he hurriedly told Long Xiao, but he couldn't find Long Xiao, because Long Xiao and Zhang Cheng went to drink and hang out on the street. After listening to Wu's advice, Long Xiao pondered, since Zhang Santou had run away, it was very likely that he would flee away from home, and even if he went to the sea to catch papers, it might not work.
However, the sea fishing documents are still required, and at least there must be no place for criminals, which is also a way to deter criminals. A few days after the sea fishing paperwork, Wu came to report again, and with a letter in his hand, Long Xiao asked, "What did you take?" Wu smiled bitterly: "Lord Long, you can just look at it", Long Xiao took a look, it turned out to be a threatening letter, the content of the letter was: Take 5oo thousand taels of silver and send it to Centipede Mountain, otherwise you will have to wash the fetish county and county government in blood, and the signature is the flying centipede.
Long Xiao was confused after reading it, why did this provoke Centipede Mountain again? Long Xiao knew that this Centipede Mountain was a mountain on the border between Shenwu County and Qinghe County, and there were bandits on the mountain, but the people were not very angry, and Long Xiao didn't pay attention to it. Long Xiao also inquired, there are hundreds of people on the mountain, it is a small group of bandits, Long Xiao didn't take it to heart, he didn't expect that now that it is a climate, he will openly shout about Shenwu County, it is really unbearable for uncles and aunts, Long Xiao decided to go to Centipede Mountain for a trip.
Long Xiao knew that although the Centipede Mountain bandits were clamoring, they did not dare to come during the day, not to mention Long Xiao's martial arts, and ordinary people did not know, but there were 4ooo names in Shenwu County, but they all knew that small groups of bandits did not dare to come to make trouble, unless they ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, besides, in the granary in the south of Shenwu County, these 10,000 officers and soldiers were stationed, didn't Centipede Mountain know? The reason why Centipede Mountain sent a letter to intimidate was that it made a move at night. Long Xiao asked 4ooo to catch quickly, divided into two shifts, and there must be 2ooo people on duty at night, strictly guarding the city gate and city wall, in case thieves come to make trouble at night. I am not afraid, but it is difficult for the common people to say, if the thief takes the common people out of anger and kills a few people, he will have a hard time.
Long Xiao made all the arrangements, and then came to the granary in the south of the city, and met the magistrate Yan Yuhe, who was guarding the granary. Long Xiao saw Yan Yuhe, Yan Yuhe hurriedly knelt down and saluted Long Xiao, and asked, "What is the matter with Lord Long here?" Could it be that you are here to inspect the granary? Long Xiao: "It's not urgent to check the granary, I came today to borrow troops from Lord Tiha." Yan Tizhi said with a smile: "Lord Long is not joking, my task is to guard the granary, there is no task to help the county guard, what is the use of Lord Long borrowing troops?" ”。
Long Xiao showed Yan Tishi the letter sent by the centipede mountain thief, and Yan Yuhe smiled when he saw it: "There are thieves on the centipede mountain?" What do you want to do? ”。 Long Xiao: "I want to borrow 2ooo soldiers and horses from Ti Ha to level Centipede Mountain, is Lord Yan willing?" ”。 Yan Yuhe was groaning for a while, and Long Xiao knew that there was no benefit, Yan Yuhe would not fight. Because Yan Yuhe's task is to guard the granary, he wants him to suppress bandits, which is a redundant task, he can do it, he can do it, he can do it, it is his duty not to do it, and it is possible to make mistakes if he does it.
Because suppressing bandits is not a good job, if there are casualties, it will be difficult for them to explain, they are just a commander, and there is a military reserve road above, it is said that the dispatch of troops must be approved by the military preparation road, otherwise, if you are charged with rebellion, it is difficult for a governor to explain. However, since they are officers and soldiers, there is also a reason to suppress the bandits, because the bandits have already provoked their own safety, and daring to provoke the county yamen is also the responsibility of the officers and soldiers, and it depends on the mood of the magistrate.
Long Xiao took out 10,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them to Yan Yuhe: "Lord Yan, this is 10,000 taels, it is the tea fee for the officers and soldiers, if the bandits make a profit, we will divide the silver taels equally, if there is a group of poor bandits on Centipede Mountain, how about our county yamen give another 10,000 taels of silver to the brothers to drink?" When Yan Yuhe heard this, he was happy. Yan Yuhe knew that there was no bandit who was not rich, a bandit den of hundreds of people, not to mention hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and if he fought this battle, it would be a small fortune.
However, the bandits on Centipede Mountain are said to have three or four hundred people, but they can't be careless, if they win, it's okay to say, if they lose, let the bandits kill them, if they rob the granary, they will die a hundred deaths, the bandits are inhumane, if the granary is burned, not to mention Long Xiao, even the provincial and county governors can't save their lives, it must be a decision. Therefore, Yan Yuhe felt that although the bandits of several hundred people should be cautious, he agreed to Long Xiao to borrow troops, and personally led 4ooo people, together with Long Xiao, to Centipede Mountain and surrounded Centipede Mountain.
Centipede Mountain is an independent stone mountain, not too high, but the geography is dangerous, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yan Yuhe ordered 4ooo officers and soldiers to surround it, but it cannot be attacked. Even a mountain gate can't be breached. Yan Yuhe came up with a tactic of attacking the heart, and sent people up the mountain to send a letter to the bandit flying centipede, as long as he surrendered, he could avoid death, if he waited until the officers and soldiers went up the mountain, he would not be killed, and no one would be left.
The messenger went up the mountain, came down after a day's work, and followed him back with a person who was tied up with flowers, but Long Xiao saw that it was Zhang Santou. I asked the mountain bandits what was going on, and it turned out that after Zhang Santou escaped from prison, he ran to Centipede Mountain, and with his three-inch tongue, he said that he moved the flying centipede. Zhang Santou lied to the flying centipede and said that the county was a mediocre ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
