The grain of the pig farm is also received from the right village warehouse, and it is received once every five days. Therefore, even if Yang Congyi and they searched all the corners of the pig farm, they could not find the missing five quintals of grain.

Yang Congyi was very happy in his heart, but his face was sad, and his expression was depressed.

The second leader and Song Leader came to the courtyard together, looked at Yang Congyi and the others, as well as the four fugitives from the pig farm, and said loudly: "There must be rules on the mountain, and no one can stay!" Yang Lao Wu, did I remind you before I went to move the grain, be careful on the road, don't lose the grain, did you listen? I went my own way, was negligent, and lost the five quintals of rations in the front village, can you afford this responsibility? If you lose food, you will be punished. Those who participated in the transportation of grain in the former village were all allowed to go down the mountain before the sun set today, and they were not allowed to stay on the mountain. ”

Yang Congyi was overjoyed, but he immediately shouted in his mouth: "Second leader, this is not fair, and the food was not deliberately thrown away by us." ”

The second leader said: "There is nothing unfair. If you lose food, you have to be responsible. Get down the hill now, don't be verbose! ”

Yang Congyi still wanted to argue, but seeing that the second leader was resolute and there was no possibility of slowing back, he kept silent and turned around and left quickly. The crowd immediately followed.

The second leader said to the four fugitives: "You are the most suspicious of losing five loads of grain in Qianzhai, no matter whether you can recover the lost grain or not, it is impossible for you to continue to stay on the mountain and go down the mountain immediately." ”

"Chief, we have been wronged, we have not taken food, we have not even seen it, please don't drive us away."

"We really didn't take it, they were talking nonsense."

As soon as the fugitives heard that they were going to be driven away immediately, they immediately began to plead and plead, and even cried tears.

"Ah Fu, you watch them go down the mountain." The two leaders ignored it, dropped a word and went into the courtyard. Regardless of whether they are wronged or not, it doesn't matter how many people do chores on the mountain, the key is that if there is such a thing as losing grain, someone must bear the charge and accept the punishment.

Leader Song followed into the courtyard and said to the second leader: "Second brother, ...... these five loads of grain?" ”

The second leader replied: "Five quintals of grain is a trivial matter, and it is not much, if it is not enough to eat, I will give you a turnover when the time comes." ”

Leader Song gave up, and it seemed that the five loads of grain had really been swallowed into his stomach, so he said, "Okay, I'll look for you when the time comes." I'll go back first. With that, he turned and left.

The second leader looked at the broken sack on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh: "Big rat and big mouse, don't eat my millet." Then he scolded: "Fat pig, sooner or later you have to die!" After scolding, he went back to the study.

The crowd quickly returned to the front village and began to pack up their things, a little reluctant. They have been quite comfortable in the mountains these days, although they are tired, but the food is okay, and the accommodation is also good, which is much stronger than the previous scurrying around the mountains. Their reluctance to leave the mountain is true, but it's a pity that the second leader can't see it, otherwise maybe he will change his mind.

Yang Congyi was called by the leader of Song and had something to say.

"Brother Yang, I'm sorry, my eldest brother has a shallow foundation here, and he can't protect you, I'm really ashamed of the right guard." Leader Song was very apologetic.

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Brother Song doesn't have to care, there is no place to keep a master here, there is a place to stay a master, Tianzhu Mountain is so big, where can it not be?" Didn't you still let me go to the incense burner peak, but it was inconvenient to see Brother Song again in the future. ”

Leader Song smiled: "You're right, the eldest brother has been on the mountain for a long time, but he has lost his pride. You go to the incense burner peak first, and when my affairs are done, I will go to the incense burner peak to see you. As he spoke, he took out a dagger with a sheath and handed it to Yang Congyi: "This dagger has been with me for many years, Lord Wang Feng knows, if you take the dagger to him, he will naturally recommend you to join the Loyalty League, and if you enter the Loyalty League, you will stay in the mountains with peace of mind." ”

Yang Congyi was not polite, stretched out his hand and took it, pulled out the dagger and looked at it, the cold light of the double blade was shining, and it was extremely sharp. I couldn't help but admire: "Good sword!" Brother Song gave me such a valuable thing, how embarrassed. ”

Leader Song smiled: "This dagger used to be used for self-defense, but now it is no longer needed, so I will take it for you." ”

After Yang Congyi thanked him, he quickly put it away.

Leader Song then said: "After going down the mountain, go all the way to the northwest, you will pass through a lot of deep valleys and mountains, but the incense burner peak, Tianzhu Mountain is one, there is a big stone on the top of the mountain, several zhang high, it looks very thin from a distance, it looks like a stick of incense inserted in the furnace from a distance, it is easy to identify." You can find it if you ask all the way. ”

Yang Congyi said: "Brother Song don't worry, I will definitely be able to find the place if I know it." ”

"Okay, then you go to the incense burner peak and wait for me first, and go down the mountain."

Yang Congyi clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Song cherishes." ”

"Have a safe journey."

Leader Song sent Yang Congyi out of the door and watched him go away. Brother Yang is quite stable at a young age, his heart is not impatient or impatient, and what is even more rare is that he is like-minded, if he is well trained, he will also be a good general of the Loyalty League in the future. This time I came to Nipple Mountain, and it was not for nothing.

Watching Yang Congyi leave, a faint smile appeared on Leader Song's face.

There was still something to do at the bottom of the mountain, and it was inconvenient to stay on the mountain for a long time, so Yang Congyi packed up his belongings, and without waiting for lunch, he took a group of brothers directly out of the village gate and went down the mountain.

"Brother Yang, you are so good, these fugitives were directly taken down the mountain. I was still thinking about whether to let us sneak to the pig farm to fight hard, it was really a false alarm. ”

"That is, it is still Brother Yang, and without much effort, the two bandit leaders were deceived and driven out in a few words. It saves a lot of effort, otherwise I really don't know what to do. ”

"The worst thing is that we didn't see those fugitives on the pig farm, so we let them be punished."

"Brother Yang, how did you come up with this solution?"

"This is called causing trouble to the east, borrowing a knife to kill people. One of the small doorways will tell you another day, hurry down the mountain to see if anyone is caught, don't let the people under the mountain be careless and be run away by them. Yang Congyi's plan was successful, and he was also very proud.

Although there have been instructions for a long time, let the catchers under the mountain be guarded quickly, and if someone goes down the mountain, they will catch it directly. But he is still worried that they are negligent and let everyone work hard these days.

The four fugitives left half an hour before them, and if they had gone slowly, the hunters would have chased them down the hill without stopping, and they would have been able to catch up halfway.

However, Yang Congyi was too worried, there were still thirty or forty arresters under the mountain, how could he not even catch four unarmed fugitives?

"Brother Yang, it's okay on the mountain." As soon as they arrived at the campsite of the catchers, there were catchers who came to say hello excitedly.

Yang Congyi asked, "Where are the fugitives who were caught?" Reviewed? ”

"Li Zhutou was asking, his mouth was very hard, and when he heard that we were from the government, he didn't open his mouth when he was killed."

Yang Congyi said: "You can't be killed, otherwise this trip will not be in vain." As he spoke, he walked into a tent under the guidance of the catcher.

As soon as I entered the tent, I saw that Li Zhutou of Tong'an County was beating the four people who had fallen to the ground with their hands and feet tied with a branch, and they couldn't hear the crying.

"Li Zhutou, save some effort, don't fight yet. These guys just came down the mountain and were caught. Yang Congyi hurriedly stopped it, if it was broken, it would be all mountain roads, and it would be difficult to take it out.

When Li Zhutou of Tong'an County saw Yang Congyi, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Yang Zhutou, you also came down the mountain?" How about the mountains? ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "The food on the mountain is good, the sleep is good, I almost don't want to come back." ”

Li Zhutou smiled: "Yang Zhutou is bold, and he can sleep in the bandits' den, Lao Li admires and admires him." ”

Yang Congyi said: "There is no difference between the mountain and the mountain, you can live steadily and sleep soundly if you go." ”

Li Zhutou waved his hand and smiled: "I don't dare, I can't compare to Yang Zhutou." ”

Yang Congyi said: "These guys are all fugitives, and they have already been investigated in the mountains, and they are all felons on the pursuit list." ”

Li Zhutou said: "It's all clear, then I won't waste my strength." If anyone comes, take them out and take care of them. "As soon as he gave the order, he came in and picked up people.

"Wait, there are still some things to ask them." Yang Congyi stopped the arrester and reached out to take out the rotten linen stuffed in the mouth of a fugitive.

"Who am I, you just heard that. If you don't want to continue to suffer from flesh and skin, just answer me a few questions, do you hear me clearly? Yang Congyi looked into the fugitive's eyes.

The fugitive kept his mouth shut and said nothing, but his eyes were wandering.

Yang Congyi smiled: "Don't have any crooked thoughts, you escaped from prison, we spent so much effort to arrest you, it is impossible for you to run again, if you want to run, run ten steps, immediately you will no longer be a prisoner, but a dead person." It's not easy to be in the mountains, and it's okay to just take your head back when necessary. ”

When the fugitive heard this, he only took the lead to go back, his face was as frightened as dirt, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "No, no, if the head catcher has something to say, just ask, and promise to know what to say." ”

Yang Congyi said: "After you came out of Huaining Prison at the beginning of the year, how many people were there together?" Where have they gone? ”

The fugitive recalled: "That night, when the door of the cell was opened, I saw people running out, so I ran with them, and out of the cell, there were white flowers everywhere, and I couldn't see the road, and I didn't know the city, so I followed the people in front of me, and went out of the city and into the mountains, and the road was not easy to walk, and many people couldn't keep up, and then it snowed, and the road was also blocked." I and a few of them before recognized, into the mountain together, and then met thirteen or fourteen people, also that day out of the prison, in the mountain did not eat or drink, so we made an appointment to find a cottage together, we finally went to the nipple mountain, just settled down a few days, the gang made trouble, and then they were driven down the mountain, a few of us also said all the good things before staying on the mountain. ”

Yang Congyi looked into the fugitive's eyes to confirm that he was not lying, and then asked, "Do you know what those dozen people did before, and did they say anything?" ”

The fugitive said: "They are all doing things such as robbing houses, killing people and setting fires, and they look very vicious." In the mountains, he also fought with other bandits before being driven away. I heard them inadvertently talk about the people they knew in Tianzhu Mountain before, and they still had some friendships. He also said that if he couldn't stay in the mountains, he would go back to Taihu County. ”

Yang Congyi's heart moved when he heard this, and he quickly asked again: "Do they all know each other?" Is it all together, all from Taihu County? ”

The fugitive recalled: "I recognize that one of them is very powerful, and several bandits on the mountain together can't beat him." I've heard them talk about Taihu County several times, and they seem to be quite familiar with Taihu County. ”

From this point of view, it is very likely that this group of people is the murderer of the Xiaosongpo bloody case, Yang Congyi continued to ask: "Then have you heard of who they know and who they have a relationship with in Tianzhu Mountain?" "That's the key, when they go down the mountain, who knows where they're going, and it's different if they know someone.

The fugitive thought for a while and said, "I don't remember what they said it was, I originally wanted to go to that person at first, but they didn't know which mountain they were on, and then they came to Nipple Mountain." ”

The fugitives knew very little, and they couldn't ask anything more, so Yang Congyi asked the arrester to take them out quickly. Although I don't know where this group of people will go, thirteen or fourteen people, such a big target, it shouldn't be difficult to find, which is undoubtedly good news.
