Chapter 394: Arresting the Real Murderer (I)

Whether Lu Jin's words were to appease Xu Wentao, or whether he was targeted, naturally only he knew in his heart. But at least these words still hit the nail on the head, after Wang Bao was taken away by the state government, the Wang family, who was just watching the play on the sidelines, began to use their own strength to conduct a careful and strict investigation of the Huang family's extermination case.

And this investigation is really quite effective, a group of guys who have been left out slowly surfaced, and at the same time, the suspicion has also begun to become bigger - those few Mongolian people who have had a dispute with Huang Si.

Because of the relationship between the border towns, there have been no swords and soldiers between Ming and Mongolia for several years, so the states and counties under the Datong Prefecture are always indispensable to the Mongolian people who come to trade. As long as they are not spies, or have committed any crimes, the local government will turn a blind eye to them, and will not interfere with them in exchange for horse furs or other daily necessities that are scarce on the grassland.

Suffice it to say that although the two countries remain politically hostile, the two sides are able to communicate peacefully in the border areas. The Mongolian people have long understood this attitude of the local Han government, so they have always been low-key, and have never violated the law, so it can be said that they are more law-abiding than the Han people.

Perhaps because of this opinion, although there were also Mongolian figures in the Ulzhou extermination case, neither Lu Zhen nor Xu Wentao listed them as the key objects of suspicion, but instead invested all their energy on Wang Bao's side.

But now, the person who investigated the matter deeply was replaced by someone from the Wang family, and the situation was completely different. After only some inquiry, these deceitful problems were also exposed - after the incident, none of the guys actually appeared in public, as if they had suddenly disappeared, and even at the city gate, there was no relevant record that they had left.

This time, there is a bit of a thief's heart in it. Because the road is still closed by heavy snow outside, they can't leave if they want to, and there is no trace of them in the city, the only possibility is that they secretly hid because they knew that something big had been committed.

When he learned of this result, Wang Shu did not hesitate, and issued an order to his subordinates: "Search!" Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to dig these damned tartars out of the city for me! ”

In Ulzhou, the power of the Wang family is indeed stronger than that of the government, and after Wang Shu's order, countless people have been put into the search for these Mongolian people, and they finally have nothing to hide. It's only been two days, and their whereabouts have been found, and they are actually in a rented house less than a street away from Huang Si's house.

When he got this information, Wang Shu thought about it for a while, and went to the state government first. With the strength of the Wang family, it is naturally not too difficult to capture these Mengren, but since these people are murder suspects, of course he can't help Lu Jin, so he has to let them send people to arrest them.

In fact, the actions of the Wang family in mobilizing the whole city in the past two days were naturally in Lu Jin's attention, so when Wang Shu came to the door to explain his intentions, he was not surprised at all, and just asked: "Master Wang, are you so sure that the murderers are these Tartars?" ”

"Didn't you fail to confirm that the murderer was my unassuming nephew that day, Lord Lu, so you brought someone directly to the door to ask for someone? Why, instead of a tartar, you, Lord Lu, are timid? This kind of favoritism is to make me and other people feel cold. Wang Shu didn't explain at all, but said this full of threats.

That's a bit of a damn. If Lu Jin's attitude is confirmed, I am afraid that he will become a public enemy of Manshanxi, and even the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. For the Mongolian people, although there has not been a major battle for many years now, the hatred of the Ming Dynasty against them has not diminished a little.

Lu Jin's eyes fell on the other party's face heavily, and after looking at him for a long time, he grinned: "Master Wang really has a heart." But don't worry, since they may indeed be the murderers of Huang Simanmen, this official will naturally not let them go. Someone ...... coming."

As he greeted him, Lin Lie, who was guarding outside, entered in response, and Lu Zhen no longer went around in any circles: "Pass the order, let the three classes of officials in the yamen be ready, and go to Xicheng with this official to arrest the suspect." Also, I also said hello to Mr. Wang Qian, and asked them to dispatch people to cooperate, just in case, so as not to make some people dissatisfied. ”

"Hmph, Lord Lu is really careful enough, and he also has a lot of face." Wang Shu listened to this, his face sank, and he sneered a little unhappily.

"I can't help it, after all, just in case. Who knows if there will be any more horse thieves in the middle of the road to attack this official? After leaving this sentence, Lu Zhen had already gone out, leaving Wang Shu there with a gloomy face, but helpless. After all, it was indeed his family's fault in the first place, and there was no way to argue with it.

@@@@@

In a certain house in the west of the city, the wing houses and halls that were originally quite clean are now a mess, mixed with the unique fishy smell of the Mongolian people. The ground was littered with gnawed beef and mutton leg bones, and jars of wine that had long since been emptied.

Five short, stout, meaty-faced men were sitting drunkenly on the floor, speaking in a slurred Mongolian language: "It's been seven or eight days, and when is it a head when it's so hidden." ”

"Yes, the wine is almost finished, and we ate all the meat yesterday, so what should we do next?"

"If you want me to say, let's get out of here quickly, otherwise even if the Ming State Mansion can't find us, we will have to be suffocated here......"

"But will he let us go like this?"

The last sentence cleared up the minds of several people a little, and there was a hint of fear on their faces. What can make these rough Mongolian men who are not afraid of heaven and earth feel awe, naturally it is impossible for them to be ordinary people.

At this moment, the closed door of the hall was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man who looked and dressed no different from ordinary people of the Ming Kingdom walked in. It's just that as soon as he entered the door, the smell of fishy smell and the smell of wine still made him frown, and his face suddenly turned into disgust: "You guys, it's only been a few days, and you have actually ruined this house like this!" ”

As soon as they saw the person, the five men who had been wilting on the ground quickly turned over and got up, and the alcohol on their faces also decreased a lot: "I have seen Taiji ......" Although they were depressed in their hearts, they didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction with this person, as if this seemingly weak guy in front of them could take their lives with a raise of his hand.

"I know it's hard for you to be in such a place, but who told you to do murder? Just a horse can make you kill people regardless of your own responsibilities? The man shook his head lightly and sighed: "Do you know that until today, the city is still searching for the murderer, if it falls into the hands of the Ming State Mansion, not only your small life, but even our plans may be exposed." ”

"Don't worry, Taiji, even if we die, we won't betray the tribe and betray you." Several men immediately assured.

"Hmph, what's the use of talking about that now. Well, I also know that you are not comfortable hiding here, but fortunately, tomorrow morning, I have a few truckloads of goods to be sent out of the city, so I will think of a way to send you out with you. The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to their promises, but only explained the purpose of today's arrival.

After saying this, several Mongolian men suddenly became happy, and hurriedly touched their chests with their hands and gave each other a deep salute: "Thank you Taijiken for saving us from here." ”

"After you leave here, you should hurry to Datong, and you must be restrained there in the future. If you have any errands, I will have someone to deliver to you. ”

"Yes, we're not going to make the same mistake again." Several people hurriedly nodded in agreement. Seeing that they had all said so, the middle-aged man didn't say anything more, turned around and left the house. Truth be told, the disgusting smell of this place made him not want to stay for even a moment.

And after he left, several Mongolian people cheered again: "Great, I can finally leave this ghost place." As long as we can help the tribe take Shanxi in the future, I must personally lead people to kill all the people in this city, and leave no one behind! ”

"Well said, didn't you just kill five lowly Han people? Actually let us hide in this place for so long, we must come out of this breath! ”

Just when a few people were talking here, thinking about how beautiful they would be after taking the whole of Shanxi in the near future, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and this sudden movement interrupted their speech in an instant, and the faces of several people suddenly changed.

Here, too, Taiji knew where they were hiding, and he always came directly into the house without knocking. Moreover, he had only just left, so how could he turn back immediately?

Although several of them are rough men, they still have this bit of brain, and it will definitely not be a good road to come to the door at this time. Thinking of this, several people quickly glanced at each other, and then hurriedly picked up their own weapons from under the crooked table on the side, a mouthful of scimitars.

It's a pity that because they have to dress up as ordinary Mongolian merchants, they don't have any other weapons except the scimitar they carry, otherwise if they have a bow and arrow in their hands, they can have more confidence in their hearts.

With knives in their hands, the five quickly separated, stood in a stable formation, and then their eyes fell again to the courtyard gate less than five zhang outside the hall. For at this moment, the knock had turned into a bang, and with the rumble of the impact, the latches behind the door had begun to vibrate and crack.

"Boom, bang!" With a loud bang, the two doors were finally knocked open by the people outside, and then the five Mongolian men finally saw the situation outside-

I saw that outside the door, there were more than 100 yamen men standing armed with iron rulers and chains, as well as knives and guns!
