Zheng Tianlun and Zhou Jia always led people to escort Wang Zongqi to Xiaonanzhuang outside Chongwen Gate.

Liu Baihu's outer house is here, and he privately accepted a concubine here.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, two archers from the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division greeted them.

"How's it going, are the people gone?"

Zheng Tianlun asked.

"I've been walking for more than an hour, and I've gone back to my hometown."

Liu Baihu's concubine is a good woman he bought back from the Qinglou at a low price. According to the pre-arranged plan, the two archers arrived here, and after some intimidation, they scared the concubine away and faked the scene.

"Mr. Zhou Jia, you go and inform Lizheng, let's go search the house and go."

acted separately and soon arrived at Liu Baihu's house.

Two archers were already guarding here, and Li Zheng soon arrived.

It turned out that some villagers who were watching the excitement not far away also came over.

"Lizheng, you find a few respectable people to go in with us and witness it."

Zheng Tianlun's purpose is to ask the local villagers to make circumstantial evidence and confirm Liu Baihu's detailed crimes.

Everyone entered the courtyard, and Zheng Tianlun waved his hand.

"Search me carefully, and I won't let go of any place."

The archers and fire armor had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and they were eager to immediately search for incriminating evidence and put Liu Baihu to death. With a bang, he began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, digging the ground and planing the walls.

After searching over there, Zheng Tianlun set up tables and chairs, spread out pen and ink, and began to question the villagers and make confessions.

"I heard that this Temur, oh, it's Liu Dali, Liu Baihu bought land at a high price from you, but is there such a thing?"

In the past, when the Tatars attacked the capital, Xiaonanzhuang suffered greatly, and the villagers hated the Tatars.

I didn't dare to offend Liu Baihu before, but now I see someone coming to raid the house, and I heard that Liu Baihu is a Tatar worker, knowing that Liu Baihu has fallen this time, and finally dares to tell the truth.

"Where to buy at a high price, it is clearly the same as a robbery. An acre of land is worth at least a dozen taels of silver, and he only gives one tael of silver. ”

"A little dissatisfied, he brought the brocade army and beat and smashed. When the family complained, he arrested people and put them in the Jinyi Army prison, slandered them as bandits, and beat them to death. ”

Zheng Tianlun got the information in advance, but Liu Baihu bought land here, and he suspected that his way of getting money was not right.

I didn't expect such an unexpected gain, and the plot was so bad.

"There is such a thing, you can talk about it."

So the villagers began to accuse Liu Baihu and Jinyijun of various crimes.

"And him, who also seized thirty acres of land. They don't farm, we have to help them plant. Even the seeds have to be given by us. The grain is theirs, and if the output is less, it is not good, they say that if you have a thousand catties per mu, you will get a thousand catties.

A villager pointed at Wang Zongqi and said angrily.

"How much grain can you actually harvest per acre?"

"It's only about 200 catties, and the best land is only 300 catties."

"What about the extra 700 catties?"

"We'll have to add it."

There is such a person who collects money, Zheng Tianlun feels incredible.

"Oh, such a person really deserves a thousand cuts."

"We have long wanted to kill them, but now God has opened his eyes and finally made them retribution. Master, can we beat him up and get angry? ”

If you want to fight, you can fight, if you don't fight at this time, how long will you wait? Can you ask me this?

and I cannot command the people to strike a prisoner.

Seeing that Zheng Tianlun didn't squeak, a group of villagers went up and beat Wang Zongqi severely. Seeing that the beating was almost over, Zheng Tianlun stopped it.

"Is there anyone who often comes here to find Liu Baihu? Of course, he was a spy of the Tatars, and it was impossible for the people who came to him to dress up as Tatars, they must have come after Qiao Zhuang dressed up. ”

"There are many people who come to him, some dressed as brocade soldiers, some dressed as merchants, and some who claim to be city households. Unexpectedly, it turned out that these people were the work of the Tatars. ”

"There are also some people who look like scoundrels in the market, but they don't see any good people coming."

"When did they all come here, and is there anything suspicious?"

"Some came during the day, some came early and some in the evening, and some came secretly at night. When he came, he hid in the house and did not show his face, not knowing what he was doing in secret. ”

When Liu Baihu lived here, it was natural that his subordinates would come to ask for some instructions.

The scoundrels and ruffians he colluded with would also come here to scold him.

The merchants and people he oppressed would also come here to ask him for mercy.

However, now that it comes to passing, these people are suspected of being Tatar spies.

Zheng Tianlun deliberately induced, and the villagers hated Liu Baihu so much, so they said ruthlessly, and in this way, the formation of a confession became extremely unfavorable evidence for Liu Baihu.

Those so-called suspicious people could not be found, and everyone made money, which confirmed the plot of Liu Baihu's connection with the Tatars.

More and more things were found, and the yard was almost full.

Bags of grain, salt, tea, bedding, clothing. Cloth and silk one by one. , and even raw silk. There are also quite a few goods, all of which are new and have never been used. At first glance, you can tell that it was scavenged from the market households.

There are naturally a lot of silver and silver tickets, but there are no large amounts, most of them are five taels, ten taels, and twenty taels, and the largest is only one hundred taels.

This proves that the people who send him money have limited financial resources and are basically low-level people.

If it is a middle and high-level person, it will not use such a small amount of silver tickets.

This also indirectly shows that Liu Baihu extorted from ordinary businessmen and ordinary people.

Zheng Tianlun wanted to find valuable things such as antiques and calligraphy and paintings, and was ready to go black. But I rummaged through it and didn't find one.

"It's just a rough man, he only likes silver and money, where can he have this taste?"

Zheng Tianlun finally gave up.

"Commander, come on, there are some paperwork here."

Zheng Tianlun had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and finally someone shouted.

"Let's go, go in and see, what the hell is it."

Zheng Tianlun took Li Zheng and two villagers into the house.

I saw a jar next to Mr. Zhou, and some paper was placed next to the jar.

"Commander, there are some words on it, crooked, it doesn't seem to be Chinese characters."

Zheng Tianlun went over and picked up the paper, flipped through it and pretended to look at it for a while.

"I have been to Tatar and have seen this kind of writing there. It seems to be the Tatar script. ”

"What's on it?"

Zhou Zongjia asked.

"I don't know the Tatar script, and I don't know what is written. Take it back and find someone who understands Tatar and read it. What else? ”

Zhou Zongjia took out another pile of paper from the jar and opened it.

When unfolded, it was a large piece of paper, two feet square.

"This seems to be a picture, where is it?"

Mr. Zhou Jia muttered to himself.

Rizheng looked at it for a while and couldn't help but be surprised.

"This is the defense map of the capital."

"What? The city defense map of the capital? Let me see. ”

Zheng Tianlun pretended to be surprised and took the picture over.

"Commander, look, this is Chongwen Gate, here is Dongzhi Gate, here is the canal, and even the sluice gates are marked."

"And here, the arrow tower, the urn city, and here, where is the stone thrower on the city wall. Where there are heavy crossbows, where there are artillery, and the battlements of arrows are marked. ”

"He's a brocade-clothed army, what do you do painting these things? Sure enough, it was the work of the Tatars. ”

"Yes, that's what the Tatars are doing to attack the city."

Li started talking, and everyone automatically made up the rest of the plot.

Zheng Tianlun listened to everyone's words and was in the middle of it.

Hehe, Jia Rui's picture is really good.

However, these Tatar letters that I found someone to forge are the sharp weapons.

Liu Dali, this time you are dead, even the gods can't save you.

Finally, the search was completed, and after the inventory, the registration was made, and Zheng Tianlun asked Li Zheng to sign and draw the pledge with the villagers, which can be regarded as a witness.

Then he borrowed a carriage from Li Zheng, pulled Liu Baihu's dirty, held Wang Zongqi, and happily returned to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses.
