Chapter 37: A Scene (4)

The hand of time turned back a few hours, and in the early morning of September 18, the governor of Zhejiang, Yamen, was still rejoicing at the end of the battle of Zhoushan that ended with a complete victory for the Qing army.

The Lu Jianguo Dynasty started in eastern Zhejiang, and at the beginning of the Qing army, it once rowed the Qiantang River with the Qing army, and even the anti-Qing rebels in the southern counties of the Yangtze River were mostly appointed by the Lu Jianguo at that time, Chen Zilong, who was the old man who was good at moderation. Hangzhou, at that time, was just a piece of meatloaf sandwiched under the bite muscle of the Lu Jian Guochao.

In the following days, the meatloaf shattered Lu Jianguo's front teeth with the stone of Tian Xiong in the middle. Jiang Shang's division was defeated, the Qing army swept eastern Zhejiang, and Lu Jianguo coincided with Zheng Cai at sea and turned to the Fujian battlefield. After Zheng Cai set off internal strife and the Qing army mobilized heavy troops to expel Lu Jianguo from the Fujian battlefield, Lu Jianguo returned to Zhejiang with Huang Binqing and gained a firm foothold in Zhoushan, and the threat returned to their heads again.

At that time, a large number of anti-Qing rebels in eastern Zhejiang were controlled by the Lu Jian Dynasty, and they controlled Siming Mountain, Tiantai Mountain and a large number of islands and mountains in eastern Zhejiang. Although it is no longer in the glory of the past, the Lu Jian Dynasty has a great influence among the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, once it completes its internal integration and begins to launch an offensive against the Qing army's occupied areas, then it is likely to be the same group response as it was back then.

In the past two years, the Qing army painstakingly solved a large number of rebels in Siming Mountain and southern Zhejiang, and did not forget to suppress Siming Mountain again in the early stage when they took Zhoushan this year. And now, it is finally completely defeated that the Lu Jian Dynasty is moving, and all that is left on the sea is a lost dog. The threat was lifted, and the rejoicing was only necessary, so much so that for the first hour or two, the butler, who had come here at a fixed hour every day, had not arrived today, and the unusual had not been able to attract much attention.

However, it is impossible to go unnoticed all the time. At first, some people thought that the butler had slept or that something had delayed, but when an hour and a half had passed, he had not heard from him at all, and the official in charge of contacting him from the governor's yamen had to send someone to make a trip. After all, Wang Jiang was one of the more important people they were tasked with.

The people who sent it soon ran back, but the news that they brought back was that they were all drugged and tied to the pillars of Wang Jiang's and his mother's bedroom and Wang Jiang's study, except for the housekeeper and the housekeeper who had always gone with the housekeeper to report. The three important hostages of Wang Jiang, Wang Jiang's mother and wife, who they were in charge of guarding, were nowhere to be found, and some were just a message in Wang Jiang's study that was clearly floating on the case, nothing more.

"Save Wang Jiang, Chen Jinnan!"

No one has heard of who Chen Jinnan is, but the handwriting left behind is a naked provocation to the yamen of the governor of Zhejiang, and even to the Qing court.

Pots of cold water were poured down, and bowls of medicinal soup were poured into it, and the caretakers woke up rudely, and the answer they got was that they were stunned early in the morning when they were eating, and then they didn't know anything, and the officials in charge of the governor's yamen immediately issued an order to impose martial law on the gates and docks of Hangzhou. After all, less than two hours have passed, and the possibility of escaping from the city exists, but strict investigation is also necessary, as for the real escape, it is estimated that it will not go far, and the scope of the investigation does not even need to go out of Qiantang and Renhe counties.

It is undeniable that this time the governor's yamen was embarrassed, and while they were anxious to investigate, they did not forget to transfer those experienced people from Hangzhou Prefecture and Qiantang and Renhe counties to find out more clues and strive to arrest the criminals as soon as possible.

The head catcher of the Qiantang County Government hurried over with a group of catchers, the head catcher was a mature and steady middle-aged man, and the gaze in his eyes seemed to be with a hook, and he could easily dig out any unusual star. Most of the others are professionals with various skills. Only the one who catches the head is the closest one, but he looks young and immature, and some people can't have any confidence, but no one cares about this.

The head catcher rushed to meet with the officials of the governor's yamen and the general judgment of the government office, and met with the government office and the colleagues of the Renhe county government. Fortunately, these officials saw the young catcher, but they all showed a knowing smile.

There is nothing unspeakable in this, speaking of which, it is nothing more than that the young father of the young catcher was the head of the Qiantang County Ya who retired in old age, and the head catcher was the eldest of the old sworn brothers, and he had to take care of the son of the sworn brother, and took his nephew out to have a long experience.

There is no feudalism among officials, but there is feudalism among officials, and this is the normal state of political life at the grassroots level in the current society. The old squad leader is old, and his body and bones can't support him to continue to serve the yamen, and the son of the old man fills the vacancy and does a quick catch under the wing of the sworn brother, which is the normal human nature.

After reporting the general situation, the confessions of the witnesses, and the scene that had been examined, these professionals had a bottom in their hearts and immediately began their respective work.

This set of houses, said not big, said small is not small, the layout of it, its own ingenuity. There is a front and back door in the courtyard, the main entrance is left, and the back door is connected to the kitchen, which is used to transport vegetables. There are no special traces of either place, even in the courtyard.

After looking at the general layout, entering the inner room, the kitchen stove has been cold, and there is a medicine pot on it. This is confirmed by the vomit of those who are fascinated. Entering the inner room, the footprints have long been messy, and the way the rope is tied has not been left, and there is a yellow calendar in the housekeeper's room that has been turned to September 18, and then there is the "challenge book" in Wang Jiang's room, which seems to have been left by a resolute scholar with a strong personality, not a false shot by Wang Jiang, who has always been weak.

The investigation and review of the crime scene, these arrests and tricks have always been very professional. It is undeniable that the people of the governor's yamen have indeed figured out the general situation, but there are still many omissions in the details, which is inevitable.

"This is not right, we have to find the butler as soon as possible to find out what is going on."

"This official knows!"

The young catcher quickly muttered casually, and the officials of the governor's yamen were holding an evil fire in their stomachs, and they were even angry when they heard this sentence that was not said to him.

At this time, it was clear that the official's anger was flourishing, and the head catcher knew that it was not good to resist, glared at the young catcher, signaled to apologize, and hurriedly echoed the official's words, so he finally missed this episode.

But, as the young catcher said, at first glance, the dog was fed poisonous meat, and the intruder drugged the food, charmed the keepers, and then tied them up and escaped with Wang Jiang's family, which made sense. However, there are still many problems here.

After appeasing the officials, the head catcher called the young catcher to a secluded place, just told him not to talk too much in public, and taught him to say more and make more mistakes, less to say and less to make mistakes, and not to say good truths, and then asked him what problems he saw.

"Uncle, Uncle Song dissected the dog's corpse with arsenic, and the dog ate poisonous meat, so that the people in the house could not get warning, which is true. However, they were confused by everyone, their time was obviously very tight, why did they take the trouble to tie them up and blindfold them with a black cloth. Moreover, judging from the vomit, the soup is not less filled, according to what Uncle Song said, it is estimated that it is not a matter of sleeping for a day or two, they carry so many drugs, instead of slaughtering these people with a knife, doesn't it seem a little redundant? ”

"What else?"

"Also, where did the housekeeper and the housekeeper go with him, why did they lose so many dozen people, but these two people are not here. According to their confessions, the housekeeper went to report every day without breakfast, so on the way to the governor's yamen, there must be a second crime scene! ”

These are not unseen. When asked at this moment, there is also an element of testing. The eldest brother they worshipped was already very good at detectives, and now it seems that he is indeed a tiger father without a dog, although this young catcher is still a little impatient, but he is good at polishing, not without the possibility of being blue.

"Don't be impetuous, and don't talk too much. The water in here is too deep for us to touch easily! ”
