After distributing the pen and paper, Yang Wenhua released all the children of the two hundred soldiers and asked them to find everyone and inquire about suspicious things and suspicious people.

There are only more than 3,000 households and more than 10,000 people in Lantian County, which is equivalent to a small township in later generations.

At noon, Yang Wenhua sat in a thatched hut and casually looked through the records mixed with pinyin, and asked Tang Shan to find all the people with better writing skills.

"According to the order of the first letter of the name and place name, classify it neatly, and then arrange the order according to the number of times the name and place name appear, and then hand it to me."

After the matter was explained, Yang Wenhua continued to direct the construction of the bridge, and with the construction of the bridge piers, the guard frame built with bamboo was almost completed, and the next step was the construction of the bridge deck.

Due to technical problems, Yang Wenhua built 100 bridge piers, except for the position left in the middle for the big ship to pass through, which was separated by 10 meters, and the other positions were only 5 meters wide.

Such a dense bridge pier, even if only a thin prefabricated slab is placed on it, can ensure the passage of the carriage of this era, not to mention the overall pouring that Yang Wenhua still uses.

In the evening, Yang Wenhua got a few books summarized by Tangshan, looked through the contents of them, and the first few made Yang Wenhua's face weird, and after the whole book was over, Yang Wenhua was a little speechless.

It's all about the grove in the south of the city, a dozen men, and dozens of women, their names repeatedly intersecting, like a fragrant novel.

After hurriedly browsing through those bullshit things, after flipping through the two books, and waiting for the third book, Yang Wenhua slowed down the speed of reading, and began to use different colored pens to keep making marks on the book.

After confirming it several times and checking it again, Yang Wenhua handed the notebook to Tang Shan and instructed: "Check the blue box of the person named Sun Ergou, and catch me immediately."

The few people who were checked in red notified Cheng Yanjin to arrest them, and asked him to be sure to take care of them separately, and those who were checked in black asked Li Shaozhi to invite them to come here early tomorrow morning for questioning. ”

After Tang Shan was ordered to go out, Yang Wenhua recalled this person named Sun Ergou.

Sun Ergou, whose origin is unknown, whose age is unknown, is said to not even know him, about 20 years old, settled in Lantian five years ago, and the government once helped him marry and divide the land.

A year later, his wife died of illness, and the land was abandoned, because Sun Ergou did not know how to farm and did not want to plant.

Since then, Sun Ergou has relied on many widows who are unwilling to remarry, and the widows who have affairs with him are as many as 20 people from their twenties to their thirties.

Sun Ergou ate the east family and the west family for four years, except for sometimes helping the widows to do some heavy work of carrying water and chopping wood, the most is to wander around in the county.

Fortunately, this person has clean hands and feet, and has never stolen chickens and dogs, and the people in the county are up to him.

This person also came to build the river embankment this time, and all Tangshan was able to bring him over quickly.

"Master, someone brought it here."

After Tang Shan returned to Yang Wenhua, he scolded Sun Ergou again: "Be honest, remember to ask and answer." ”

"Okay, okay."

Sun Ergou hurriedly responded, and arched his hand at Yang Wenhua a few times, "The little one has seen the immortal chief." ”

Yang Wenhua looked at Sun Ergou and found that he was also upright and strong at this time, standing in front of him at this time with a flattering look and a little doubt in his eyes.

"Sun Ergou, right?"

Seeing Sun Ergou nodded, Yang Wenhua then asked, "Tell me what you have done in the past few days, except for working on the river embankment?"

More carefully, I want to listen to it. ”

"I didn't do anything, it was just a little thing to eat, drink and Lazar, and there was nothing worth saying."

"Oh, then, tell me where you got the money to buy all that fabric and food a few days ago, right?"

"That's the villain, the money that the villain picked up on the road."

"Oh, tell me what kind of money they are, gold, silver, or glue paper, what do they look like, or how big are they?"

"There are a few broken silver and copper coins, and there are also a few blue and green plastic paper coins, which are the specifics, and I can't remember the small ones very clearly."

Looking at Sun Ergou, whose eyes were rolling, Yang Wenhua smiled indifferently, nodded and said, "Very good, since I can't remember, then let's think about it tonight."

Tomorrow, your concubines and the shopkeeper of the cloth village will come over, as long as you think about it today, you can say that you can match them.

Because you are likely to have done something that has harmed others, I can't let you go for the time being, and I should be fine if I tie you up and rest on the board for the night. ”

"No, it's okay, what the fairy chief says, that's it."

At this time, Sun Ergou was no longer as calm as he was just now, and he spoke with a little trill.

Yang Wenhua smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, think about it tonight, what should I say tomorrow, as long as I say it right, I won't do anything to a little person like you, right?" ”

"I, I."

Looking at Sun Ergou, who was beginning to break out in a cold sweat, Yang Wenhua said to Tang Shan on the side: "Take it down and tie it to the board, you don't have to do anything to him, as long as you can't run away." ”

Tang Shan asked the two junior disciples to take Sun Ergou down, and then asked Yang Wenhua with some doubts: "Master, this person is obviously willing to tell the truth, why don't you listen now?" ”

"Because if you listen partially, it will be dark, and if you listen to both, you will be clear.

And at this time, the fear in this person's heart has not reached the level of collapse, what he said at this time, even if it is the truth, is not necessarily the whole story, listening to it is just a waste of time.

Let him suffer another night, and ask again tomorrow, and confirm the words of the others, and the matter will naturally become clear.

Go down and rest, for you've worked hard today. ”

"The disciple is not hard, he can serve by the master's side, and he can learn so many things, the disciple feels that it is no better."

Tang Shan's words are true.

Yang Wenhua just asked softly, and Sun Ergou, who was extremely calm at the beginning, broke out in a cold sweat, which really gave Tang Shan a good look.

"Hahaha, Mr. Yang, Lao Cheng helped you arrest people back, not only a lot, but also two more monks, do you want to go and see it now?"

Cheng Biting Jin's voice sounded outside the house, Yang Wenhua frowned when he heard it, he thought it was a provocation from the family, how could it still involve the monk.
