Chapter 28: Finding Out the Big Case

Li Nan said to the Wu family: "As the saying goes, catch the thief and get dirty, catch the traitor and take the double, the two of them have already violated my Great Song law, so I will bring them back to the yamen." ”

The Wu family is pure and good-natured, but she is a little cowardly when she treats these concubines, and at this time, when she saw Earl Ying and Li Niangzi ** being arrested in public, she was also a little secretly happy in her heart.

Instructed the maid to bring five taels of silver, Wu Shi Li said: "Thank you for leading people to catch this pair of unscrupulous dog men and women today, and these silver should be used as a reward for your tea money." ”

Li Nan, who knew that Ximenqing was dead, didn't want to be greedy for the widow's money, but if he didn't accept it, then these public servants would be secretly dissatisfied, so he had to wave his hand and say, "Since it was given to you by Mrs. Wu, then you can all take it." ”

After a few catchers collected the money, they worked more attentively, and hurriedly chained Earl Ying and Li Jiao'er first, and Li Nan also walked out after a few polite words with Wu.

After coming to the gate, Li Nan remembered that Ximen Qing killed Toriyama Konosuke, sighed and said to Wu: "I also have some friendship with Ximen Qing, if there is anything difficult for your family in the future, then let someone find me, as long as it is not excessive, I will definitely help you." ”

Wu looked at Li Nan with some surprise, she knew very well what kind of person her husband was, and a person with a temperament like Li Nan was obviously not the same as Ximenqing.

Anyway, people are also kind, and Wu Shili, who doesn't know that Ximenqing is dead for the time being, said: "Then thank you Li Dutou!" ”

The public servant, who had been a little tired from running errands all night, received the silver quickly, and his spirit was immediately lifted, and the group escorted the man and woman to the official prison, and locked them in two and a half people-high narrow cages.

The design of this cage is very bad, and ordinary people can only bend over and stand after entering, and they can't sit down or stand upright, which is a kind of torture punishment.

These dukes were uneven, and Li Nan was afraid that they would leak the secret after hearing Earl Ying's confession, so he ordered many dukes to disperse, leaving only Peng Bantou, who had some friendship with him in the past.

Picking up the tea on the table and taking a few sips, Li Nan opened his mouth and asked: "Earl Ying, what happened to you, tell me honestly, where did you take those prostitutes to play with the women of the good family?" ”

At first, Earl Ying naturally shirked the denial in every possible way, but after standing in the cage for half an hour, the soft bone told everything.

It turns out that there is a temple outside Yanggu County, and some time ago these two places have changed the person in charge, and they relied on the excuse of chanting and deceiving the good-looking woman, and secretly detained it for fun, and then came up with this way to make money after getting tired of it.

Because Earl Ying was a helper in a brothel in Goolan and his status was convenient, he was favored by others and secretly provided wealthy and interested prostitutes for Taoist temples and temples.

There are only two monasteries outside Yanggu County, the monk's house is Yongfu Temple, and the Taoist family is the Jade Emperor Temple.

If you want to say that it is no problem to let these public officials in the yamen arrest and bully the merchants and civilians quickly, but if they are really serious and desperate, Li Nan estimates that these old fritters will definitely flee as soon as possible.

Originally, all counties had conscripted township soldiers to use, but unfortunately, due to an accident that occurred a few days ago, the elite township soldiers in Yanggu and Qinghe counties died tragically in the puppet Manchukuo, resulting in no soldiers available now, and it is even more difficult to recruit them.

"If you have to do something but you don't have soldiers, where can you get some soldiers?" Li Nan muttered to himself with some worry.

Peng Bantou, who was very old, heard Li Nan's words and continued: "Dutou, if you have money, then no matter how many soldiers can buy it." ”

Li Nan asked curiously, "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Peng Bantou said with a smile: "Haven't you forgotten the Xiang army in Jinling Mountain, those people are not as good as pigs and dogs now, and the Shangguan of the Xiang army never cares about their life or death, as long as you can afford the money, it is absolutely no problem to buy hundreds of soldiers." ”

Li Nan knew that the Great Song Dynasty was divided into the forbidden army and the Xiang army, but other details were not very clear.

This Peng Bantou has relatives who serve in the Xiang Army, because he knows the affairs of the Xiang Army very well, and seeing that Li Nan is very interested in this matter, he hurriedly introduced it in general.

The so-called box army, when Song Taizu opened the country, was the old and weak who were picked up by the forbidden army, and the box army at that time still had two or three points of combat power, and then absorbed a lot of disaster victims and prisoners, doing miscellaneous work such as building cities, building roads, and transportation, and basically had no military training in peacetime, so it can be said that they were a group of poor people with no combat power.

It is a feasible strategy to buy some van army to use, but Li Nan does not have much money in his hand, and it is estimated that it is enough to ask Hu Zhixian for it.

Li Nan thought about it for a while, but decided to ask the price first, so he said directly: "Brother Peng, seeing that you are familiar with Xiangjun, then please go to someone you know and ask for the price, and when the matter is done, you will naturally be indispensable." ”

Estimating that the deal was negotiated and a lot of money could be put into the account, Peng Bantou hurriedly responded, regardless of the darkness of the night, and got a horse and went straight to the Jinling Mountain Carriage Army garrison outside the city.

It is estimated that Peng Bantou will only be able to come back tomorrow, and there are not enough manpower, so this matter cannot be done, Li Nan ordered Earl Ying and Li Jiaoer to be put in prison respectively.

I am fighting tigers and people today, although I have a systematically modified body, but I also feel a little tired, hurry home and get ready to rest.

The small building in Zishi Street's house was still lit, looking at the warm lights in the dark night, thinking that there were two women waiting for him to go back, Li Nan's heart rose a warm feeling.

Yun Niang and Pang Qiuxia really hadn't slept yet, and as soon as Li Nan walked into the building, they greeted them.

Eating the meal brought out of the kitchen pot by his sister-in-law and with residual warmth, Li Nan roughly told about the fact that in the Yongfu Temple and the Jade Emperor Temple outside the city, there may be people who captive women from good families to sell silver.

"Smack!" Pang Qiuxiayu slapped her hand on the table heavily, and said with an angry face: "These thieves who can't be killed, there are so many Qinglou Chu Pavilions that they don't go, but they want to harm the women of good families, it's really hateful!" ”

Yun Niang thought that a while ago, she went to the Jade Emperor Temple to pray for the whole family, and she couldn't help but be a little afraid at this time.

Li Nan took Pang Qiuxia's little hand and reassured: "Don't worry, as long as I get enough manpower, I won't let these villains die too quickly at that time!" ”

Although Li Nan also took his hand when he crossed over to the puppet Manchukuo, but now in front of his future sister-in-law, Pang Qiuxia's anger couldn't help but dissipate, and Hongxia flew on her pretty face.

Yun Niang saw Pang Qiuxia's expression and the intimate movements of the two, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I'll go rest first, and the two of you can talk slowly." ”

The shy Pang Qiuxia was about to get up and leave with Yun Niang, but Li Nan pulled her little hand hard, and the little lady who was unsteady fell into the arms of her husband.

Li Nan looked down at the shy little lady in her arms, only to see her bright eyes, Qiong's nose was straight, and her two eyebrows were like a sword, adding a lot of heroism to her, but the most attractive thing was the moist lips.

"Why did you remember to put on lip balm today?"

"I..."

Pang Qiuxia naturally wouldn't say that it was to please Li Nan, so she deliberately used Yun Niang's lip grease, and said with a smile: "The weather is dry, I'm afraid that there will be a crack in my lip." ”

"Oh?" Li Nan had a wicked smile on his face, lowered his head and said, "My husband's lips also have some traces of chapping, what do you say I should do?" ”

Looking at Li Nan, who was getting closer and closer to her, Pang Qiuxia's heart beat rapidly, and she said in a panic: "Then I'll go get you some lip grease......

"No need, just use yours......"

Li Nan directly kissed the lips of the beautiful lady in his arms, Pang Qiuxia, who had never experienced this kind of experience, was suddenly shocked, staring at him with big eyes, not knowing what to do.

"Close your eyes!"

After seeing Pang Qiuxia obediently close her eyes, Li Nan began to slowly enjoy her sweet lips and tongue......
