Chapter Sixty-Eight: Before the Bayonet Sees Red

Louretton's face turned pale and he shouted, "Yellow bastard, you don't want to die well." ”

Huang Juewu touched his bearded chin and giggled and said: "Old Lu, scolding people has to come up with new ideas, the fourth master, I have long been invulnerable." ”

Li Guolou walked up to Lu Leiton and said, "Old Lu, since the case has capsized, take the initiative to confess the crime and reduce it by one degree." ”

The answer was to spit on the ground, Lu Leiton's move made Li Guolou feel assured, there must be something unspeakable in the room, otherwise Lu Leiton would not be so tough, as if he was about to go to righteousness.

Li Guolou shouted: "Brothers, I have searched carefully. ”

As soon as the words fell, an errand officer walked out of the room in surprise, holding a stack of books and Buddha statues, and exclaimed, "Chief Li, this kid is from the White Lotus Sect. ”

But I saw that the Buddha statue was a Maitreya Buddha, and the books were lecture notes of the White Lotus Sect, all of which asked the common people to read aloud slogans against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, a white flag, and a short-barreled flintlock pistol and some gunpowder bags.

When Loureton saw that the things he had hidden under the bluestone floor had been searched by the servants, and there was no way out, he shouted: "Miller was born, King Ming was born, and the white lotus descended to all the people, and all the dogs were killed to enjoy peace." ”

Lu Leiton shouted loudly, he wanted to report to the followers of the other White Lotus Sect, how could Li Guolou let him succeed, he picked up a handful of soil and stuffed it into Lu Leiton's mouth, making Lu Leiton suddenly become dumb.

Li Guolou was shocked, he miscalculated, it turned out that Lu Leiton was not a spy of the Twist Army, but a disciple of the White Lotus Sect who believed in the cult, he personally caught the propagator of the White Lotus Sect, and in the future, he should be even more careful that the Hokage of the White Lotus Sect fired black guns at him. Li Guolou immediately changed his mind, first to arrest the other four disciples who believed in the White Lotus Sect, he had already shot this arrow, there was no turning back arrow, he couldn't let the enemy go outside, he must be caught all in one net.

Li Guolou immediately gathered ten members of the errand and militia groups, and said with a cruel smile: "Brothers, if you are going to make great contributions, it depends on whether you have the courage to do a vote." ”

Li Guolou told them to arrest the other four White Lotus families first, and as for the arrest of human traffickers, they had to put it later, and the credit for catching the reactionaries was much greater than the arrest of human traffickers.

Huang Juewu was already trembling with excitement, fame and fortune were already close at hand, Huang Bing would definitely be promoted, and he would rise to the top, and there was no problem in being the Baozheng of Huang Village.

Huang Juewu looked at Li Guolou with great admiration and asked, "Chief Li, how do you know that there are White Lotus Sect disciples in our village?" Who told you that? ”

Li Guolou said embarrassedly: "Hehe! It's all providential, I'm just lucky. ”

In the distance, Zhang Gazi was already jumping and jumping, waving towards Li Guolou, Li Guolou pretended not to see it, and ignored Zhang Gazi.

After contacting Huang Bing, their team had also captured a widower, anyway, they put on the big hat of a disciple of the White Lotus Sect first. After that, more than 20 errand servants and members of the militia group surrounded and annihilated the four White Lotus families, and within an hour, they were all arrested and brought to justice.

The widower was tied aside, cried out a few times for injustice, and was gagged with a strip of cloth by one of the servants.

The villagers all ran over to watch the disciples of the White Lotus Sect, and the villagers did not expect that there was no one kneeling on the ground now.

Five families, male and female, old and young, were bound together and knelt on the ground, some were silent, some were weeping, and the children were not spared, and they were also tied up and thrown into the inner room. A total of fifteen people were wiped out. For those who believe in the White Lotus Sect, the whole family will be implicated, which is clearly stipulated in the laws of the Qing Dynasty.

Li Guolou just asked the villagers to come and watch, of course Huang Bing knew what to do next? The other five trafficker suspects in the crowd gathered together.

As soon as Huang Bing shook his head, his men were already impatient, and more than two dozen rushed into the crowd and began to arrest people, catching these five "human traffickers" in one round.

Next, Huang Bing struck the gong and told the whole village to go home, a curfew must be imposed here, and no free movement is allowed on the road, otherwise it will be punished as a follower of the White Lotus Sect.

The liveliness of Huang Village finally stopped, and the village Zheng Huang Kao was so happy and smiling, fortunately he caught the White Lotus Sect, and he found a lot of earthen guns and knives. Otherwise, one day, he will be killed by these people. In the courtyard of the village office, Huang Kaohao was ashamed to make a tirade to his subordinates, that is, the sky net is restored and not leaked, today is a big day to close the net, and all this is under his control.

Huang Bing talked to Li Guolou on the side about the conditions, that is, half of the credit for the family, and the joint credit was handed over, and everyone enjoyed the scenery together.

Li Guolou didn't care, he knew that these people who believed in cults would first be beaten up and imprisoned for a period of time to see if they begged for mercy and had the intention of repenting. If you behave well, you will be escorted to the frontier. Whether the family can be preserved is unknown. Since they had chosen the faith of the White Lotus Sect, they could only endure this hardship, and they couldn't blame him for exposing their beliefs.

Li Guolou looked at Lu Leiton, who was kneeling on the ground, and now he can still pretend to be a good man, and when he is in prison, he will tell everything he knows. Those disciples who believe in the White Lotus Sect in the outer villages will also be betrayed by Lu Leiton, maybe this kid will become a petty official.

There were a large number of officials of the Qing Empire who betrayed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Twist Army and other rebel organizations, and these people charged forward in order to serve the new master, and they were very brave. Some people have already sat in high positions and are the pillars of the Qing Empire, some people are still spilling blood, and some people have been killed by the original organization.

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Huang Baozheng, if the two cases are solved, you will be promoted, and a bigger stage outside is waiting for you." I am not interested in the case of the White Lotus Sect, and you will try it. Those five traffickers handed it over to me, and I will definitely find out the real culprit. ”

Huang Bingle said: "Chief Li is good at talking, my brother will definitely not forget the support of Chief Li, how close we will be in the future." ”

This is what it means to ride in the same boat, and there are such people in the officialdom, who communicate with each other and advance and retreat together. Li Guolou didn't care, anyway, he went to the sea on a thief boat with him, and he didn't mind bringing one more countryman.

The five "traffickers" were loosened from their hands and were able to move their stiff hands and feet.

The two widowers, Huang Yu and Chen Laoshi, are both in their forties, and they have a good relationship with the people in the village.

A ruffian, Huang Dasheng is in his thirties, likes to mess with flowers and grass, but he is a fool and does not want to do farm work. Relying on his kinship with several officials in the village, he borrowed money from the west to get by, and no one could help him.

The two old men, Huang Yong and Ma Litu, are also nearly forty years old, and they have a strange temper and do not get along with the people in the village, but they also honestly pay taxes and do labor. Among them, Huang Yong was the farmer who picked up dung, and in the end, Li Guolou still included him in the list of suspects.

These five suspects have a common characteristic, that is, no one lives with them, they are all independent families, although some people are gregarious, but Li Guolou is still on his list of suspects, because the place where they live is not far from the scene of the crime, and they all live in the west of the village.

In the room, Li Guolou sat at the table, drank tea and looked at the five suspects standing in front of him, without saying a word.

Jin Erzi's two hands pressed and rubbed each other, ready to hit someone at any time. He stood beside Li Guolou, although he was thin, judging from the vigorous action of catching people just now, everyone on the side knew that Jin Zhutou was a kung fu master and had the ability to split muscles and bones.

Huang Juewu, the leader of the militia squad, waved a leather whip in his hand and threatened: "Do you know why you were arrested? ”

Some of the five suspects shook their heads, some nodded, and one named Huang Dasheng shouted, "Uncle, come and save me." Huang Juewu, you arrest me first, and then release me, we are not finished, I want you to apologize to me in front of the whole village, and lose money. Then he turned to the door and shouted, "Uncle, come quickly!" ”

Huang Juewu said without slashing: "Stinky boy, it's your two uncles, if you want me to treat you, no matter how loud you scream, no one will pay attention to you." ”

Huang Dasheng still refused to rest, and opened his voice again, and Li Guolou shouted: "Palm!" ”

The two messengers stepped forward and pressed Huang Dasheng to the ground, and Jin Erzi came up with a left and right slap, crackling more than 20 big mouths, and the corners of Huang Dasheng's mouth bleed.

Jin Erzi glared and threatened: "Stinky boy, you can scream again and try it." ”

Seeing the official, he was about to kneel, and the other four suspects, as soon as they moved their bodies, fell to the ground again, and did not dare to shout again to find Muramasa Huang to come out for evaluation.

The scene returned to calm, Huang Juewu turned to Li Guolou and nodded, it was time for the chief to control the scene, "Smack!" A leather whip flashed in front of the noses of the five suspects, and they shouted, "Give me the truth to listen to the chief!" If you have something to say, you will say it by name, otherwise Lao Tzu will reward you with a whip. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Dasheng didn't dare to spit the blood in his mouth on the ground, so he could only swallow the blood in his mouth into his stomach. Although officials can't beat people to death, if they continue to fight, all the teeth in their mouths will be wiped out, and they can only be soft first.

Li Guolou glanced at the five people kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "You all know this official, and you have already spoken to this official, and I remember all the lies you told to this official. So I'm arresting you today, that is, the new accounts and old accounts are settled together, and the case you did is overturned, and this time you are dead! ”

Li Guolou watched the changes in the expressions on the faces of the five people, guessing their inner thoughts, it was not the time for the bayonet to see red, and the battle would continue.
