Chapter Ninety-Five: The Bandits

Mother Wang's face was cloudy, and finally let the two turtle slaves get out of the way: "You can leave if you want to, I won't pursue today's matter, let's take a step back, what do you think?" Seeing this, Lin Mo said, "You don't pursue it, but I can't stop there."

Mother Wang said with a hideous face: "Then what do you want?" It's a big deal, the fish is dead, the net is broken," the two turtle slaves also stepped forward to stare at Lin Mo and Ma Ruoyan. Lin Mo said calmly: "I didn't mean to go against Mother Wang, I just wanted to ask Mother Wang to help us find someone." It's Sun De's sister. ”

Mother Wang's tone softened, and she thought for a while: "I can only say that I can help you inquire in Qinan, I am still very familiar with the Qinglou here, if I am caught in the Qinglou, I will definitely know."

Lin Mo nodded: "Then thank you Mother Wang, but I still have something to ask for." When Mother Wang heard this, she said impatiently, "What's the matter?" I'll help if I can. ”

Lin Mo said: "I only told Mother Wang about this, and asked the two of you to quit." Mother Wang had no choice but to make a color, and the two turtle slaves retreated with the woman on the ground, and Lin Mo immediately asked in a low voice, "Does Mother Wang have any connection with some green forests outside?"

When Mother Wang heard this, there was a trace of panic in her eyes, and then she calmed down and said, "Where did you hear this, although I don't know anything about the "Da Xuan Law", but I also know that colluding with strongmen is a serious crime, how could I do such a thing." Lin Mo replied lightly: "Oh? Is it? It seems that he is talking nonsense, Mother Wang is not strange. ”

"He? Who is it? Could it be," Wang's mother blurted out, and then realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly covered her mouth. When Lin Mo saw Mother Wang's reaction, she knew what Mother Wang was deliberately covering up, and she must know something. Seeing Lin Mo showing such an expression, Wang's mother suddenly realized that she was still fooled and stopped admitting herself.

In fact, Lin Mo didn't know if Mother Wang had any connection with Green Forest, but the horse Mother Wang didn't buy it or not, it should have been given away, and those people rode a horse to kidnap Sun Yunxi, and based on these Lin Mo concluded that Mother Wang should have given the horse to the bandits and bandits outside the city, so she deceived Mother Wang like this, judging from her reaction, Lin Mo guessed correctly.

Lin Mo continued: "This case is a big matter, it must be impossible to hide it, if it is really related to the green forest, Mother Wang should confess as soon as possible, so as not to provoke the fire."

Mother Wang sighed and said: "The people who are in our line of work have to know something, otherwise they don't know if they are stabbed one day, they know some strong people, and they can help deal with something unsightly." Lin Mo nodded when he heard this, as for what was unsightly, Lin Mo didn't ask, but he also guessed.

Wang's mother continued: "That group of people are in Daqing Mountain outside the city, I don't know where they are, there may be more than a dozen, I also met through the middleman, but I have only seen two of them, a fat man called Fat San, a thin man called Monkey, when something happens, the middleman will pass the word, and then the two people will come, we are in a land temple outside the city, explain the matter, and pay the silver."

That's all. ”

"Who's the middleman? Have they been in touch with you lately? Lin Mo asked.

Wang's mother thought for a while and said, "The middleman is the shopkeeper of the teahouse outside the city, and they took the initiative to contact me a few days ago and asked me to help find some horses." Lin Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Lin Mo then asked, "Then have they done anything about kidnapping people recently?"

Mother Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know about this, but the fat man said before that when he was short of silver, he would rob pedestrians on the road." Lin Mo nodded when he heard this, and had a plan in his heart.

Lin Mo thanked him: "Thank you, Mother Wang, if you have any news, you can go to the Shiweitian Restaurant in the city to find me, or go to the county office to find Zhao Zhutou." We haven't been here today, and we've met. Then she pulled Ma Ruoyan and was about to go out, Mother Wang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it, this Lin Mo was relieved, and today's matter was calmed down.

Ma Ruoyan was reluctant to leave, her face was full of pleading, Lin Mo looked at it, sighed and asked, "How much silver did that girl buy just now?"

As soon as Mother Wang heard that Lin Mo wanted to take the girl away, the girl Mother Wang bought it for ten taels of silver, and Mother Wang's heart was crossed, and it was the most important thing to send the plague god away quickly, so she smiled and said: "If the son takes a fancy to the girl and gives it to you, why don't you come and bring the girl in." The two turtle slaves opened the door and carried the fainting girl in.

Ma Ruoya hurriedly stepped forward to check, and Lin Mo took out fifty taels of silver and said, "Since we have taken a fancy to the reason why you will lose money, this is fifty taels of silver, you take it, if it is not enough, you can send someone to take it from me." When Mother Wang heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Enough is enough, if the son is inconvenient, I will send someone to send her to your house later."

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just take her with me myself." So saying, he picked up the woman and left.

Mother Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and a turtle slave asked, "Who is Mother Wang?" Why do you want to shake out the fat man's thing. ”

Mother Wang shook her head and said: "I don't know about this person, but that group of people has been making a lot of trouble recently, so sooner or later they will be destroyed, and they may still lead us at that time, so it is better to borrow his hand now to start first, so as to prevent future troubles." The two turtle slaves nodded and went out.

Wang's mother said to herself: "Food is the sky? Lin Mo? It turned out to be him? No wonder the mechanism is so bold. Lin Mo walked out with the fainting girl on his back, Ma Ruoyan followed, and the two found a car to put the girl away, and then pulled her away. Lin Mo turned to Ma Ruoyan and said, "You go back first, I'll handle this matter."

"But this girl"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her. There are too many poor people in this world, you and I can't save them, and sometimes they are used by people with bad intentions. After speaking, he took the woman and went straight to the restaurant. Ma Ruoya was a little at a loss, returned home in a daze, and then fell on the bed and recalled Lin Mo's words, feeling that Lin Mo was accusing herself, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved in her heart, and then tears couldn't stop flowing

, sobbing quietly.

This is Cui'er walking in and asking, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" What sad thing did you encounter when you went out today? "Cui'er already knows about Ma Ruoya, including a woman disguised as a man to participate in the county exam, and Ma Ruoyan no longer hides it from her, after all, she went out, and the house still wants her to cover up. Ma Ruoya finally told what happened today.

Cui'er sighed and said, "Miss, I think Lin Gongzi is doing the right thing, it's not easy for Lin Gongzi to protect you, you are a little petty today." And it's actually good for the girl to stay in the Qinglou, at least she won't worry about food and clothing without worrying about her life, this may be a good place to go when the family is in trouble, how many people starved to death during the famine, if I hadn't met the master, it is estimated that I would have been dead in the wild, and even my life is almost gone, and the rest is not important. ”

Ma Ruoyan still didn't understand when she heard it, after all, she hadn't worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation since she was a child, so she wouldn't understand that feeling, but she also knew that she was a little petty today, if it wasn't for Lin Mo to protect herself, her current situation would probably be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Ma Ruoya couldn't help but blush, she had been holding Lin Mo's hand today, although it was a little rough, it was very warm and powerful, which made Ma Ruoyan feel at ease.

On the other side, Lin Mo returned to the restaurant and handed the girl over to Zhao En, and asked Zhao's sister-in-law to help her wash and get her some food, and the rest of the things would be talked about when he came back.

Lin Mo then hurried to the county office, Lin Mo now basically concluded that this Sun Yunxi was kidnapped by that gang of bandits, and now she must be rescued as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lin Mo came to the county office, and just saw Zhao Zhutou walking out, Zhao Zhutou said: "Then Sun De really has nothing valuable to dig up, what should we do next?" Lin Mo said: "I probably already know who kidnapped Sun Yunxi."

"Oh? Who is it? Zhao Pu hurriedly asked.

"A gang of bandits in Daqingshan." Lin Mo replied. Zhao Pu was surprised when he heard this, he had heard of this group of bandits, but Daqingshan was so big, it was not easy to find this group of people. Lin Mo went to see the county commander Song Yi first, after all, Song Yi still wanted to know about the thieves.

The two came to the side hall, and Song Yi was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. Lin Mo was a little angry, he was running around outside to investigate the case, but this Song Yi was here to close his eyes and cultivate, but Lin Mo was helpless, who made him the county magistrate.

Lin Mo coughed and said, "I've seen the county magistrate." Song Yi was suddenly awakened, and when he saw that it was Lin Mo, he asked, "What's wrong?" Is the case eyebrow-raising? ”

Lin Mo replied respectfully: "Lord Hui is already a little eyebrows, recently there are a gang of bandits looting everywhere in Daqing Mountain, if the expectation is good, it is they who have kidnapped these missing women, and ask your lord to send someone to arrest them." Song Yi was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked Zhao Pu: "Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Pu hurriedly replied: "My lord, there is such a thing, these days, three or four people have come to report that they have been robbed outside the city, and the horses and silver have been robbed, but I am waiting to track down the missing woman and do not care about these things."

Song Yi nodded after hearing this and said: "This matter has to be considered in the long run, after all, this bandit is an extremely vicious criminal, and it is better to wait for Lord Yin of the Ming Mansion to send a sergeant to arrest him."

In this dynasty, there were garrisons in various state capitals, 100 people in counties, 1,000 people in the state capital, and only 2,000 garrisons in the entire Yunzhou Prefecture, responsible for maintaining law and order and eliminating bandits.

This county commander Song Yi is obviously afraid of responsibility and wants the state government to suppress the bandits, and he doesn't have to be responsible if something happens, how can Lin Mo have so much time to talk here, if he really waits for the government to send troops over, it is estimated that the daylilies will be cold, and if the news leaks out, if this group of bandits escapes, where will they find them then.

Seeing this, Lin Mo hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, this time I finally heard the news of this gang of bandits, if you have to wait for the government to send troops to come, if the news leaks and let this gang of bandits escape, it will be in vain, besides, if you rescue it early, the woman who was arrested will be out of the sea of misery one day sooner."

Song Yi shook his head and said: "There are only forty people in my county, and there are only about 100 soldiers patrolling the city, and the county lieutenant has been vacant, and no one leads the troops. It's better to wait for the government to send troops to come and exterminate it. Lin Mo had to retire after hearing this, it seems that this county order is unreliable, and he has to rely on himself.
