Chapter 125: Arrest of the Whole City

Li Rujun frowned slightly as he listened to the words spoken by those scholars.

In the past few years, he heard that Chen Huatao and others had done all kinds of evil in the county.

But he was a foreigner who came to Suixi County, and Chen Huatao and others had cronies in the county and even many departments in the yamen, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Besides, he has been a county magistrate in Suixi County for a few years, and after he has earned enough money, he will be promoted to a higher level and make a fortune, how can he make a big fuss with Chen Huatao and others?

Only by being harmonious can you make money, Li Rujun understands this.

But now it's different, Chen Huatao has lost ground in Suixi County.

For the 90,000 stone tax grain, Chen Huatao went bankrupt and owed a lot of money to plug this hole.

It is precisely because of this that many people who followed Chen Huatao before saw that he had become poor and left him one after another, which made it even worse.

The Song family has completed the task of tax and grain in Yangqing Township, and Song Hua is co-opting other people from the yamen, which makes Chen Huatao's status more and more unsecure.

At this time, Li Rujun will not stand on Chen Huatao's side.

"Chen Dianshi, do you have any explanation for what those scholars complained about just now?" Li Rujun turned his head to look at Chen Huatao, his voice was cold.

Chen Huatao heard Li Rujun's ruthless voice, and his head was sweating with fright. "My lord, I don't know what the bad son did before, I've been kept in the dark."

Anyway, his son Chen Zhichong is dead, and he puts the blame on his son.

Mo Dazhi sneered: "Master Li, Chen Zhichong has no official position and no martial arts, how can he bully others?" There may be something else going on here. ”

"That's right, Master Li, Chen Huatao has always instructed Chen Zhichong and Ma Wei to do evil in Suixi County, you must investigate clearly." Song Hua also stepped forward to sue.

Li Rujun looked at Yang Yiqing and He Zisong, but the last time Song Wenjian was drinking in Yunke Restaurant, he designed to make the Yang family, the He family and Chen Zhichong have a bad relationship, of course they are going to fall into the ground.

"Master Li, I suggest that we investigate, you can't wronged the good guys, but you can't let the bad guys go." Yang Yiqing said.

"Yes, Chen Zhichong is dead, but Ma Wei is still there, and it should be carefully reviewed." He Zisong saw that those scholars were being bullied, of course, he was on Mo Dazhi's side.

Li Rujun saw that the matter had come to this point, and said loudly: "Come on, put Ma Wei in the cell for interrogation, as for Chen Dianshi, such an unfortunate thing has just happened in your family, let's go home first and deal with the aftermath of your family." ”

"Ahh Chen Huatao's eyes widened, Li Rujun asked him to leave the affairs of the yamen alone for the time being, and he was secretly suspended.

"Master Li is really wise." When everyone saw Li Rujun give such an order, they all shouted happily.

The yacha walked to Ma Wei's side, put shackles on him, and escorted him to a cell.

"My lord, Wu Guanhai is very capable, and he has also been a warden in the military room before, why don't you let him be a warden in the military room now?" Jia Daoming saw Song Wenjian glaring at him, of course he understood what the other party meant.

As the saying goes, if you take people's money, you have to help others, and just now Song Wenjian secretly stuffed a hundred taels of silver for him.

"Well, the barracks are very important, and you can't be without someone in charge for a day." Li Rujun shouted: "Wu Guanhai, now you are the warden of the barracks, do things well, and mobilize the soldiers in your barracks to find out the big black." ”

Wu Guanhai nodded and said, "Please rest assured, as long as it takes three days, as long as Dahei and them are still in the county seat, I will be able to find them out." ”

"Huh? Can you guarantee it? Li Rujun looked at Wu Guanhai with interest.

In the past, Chen Huatao had been suppressing Wu Guanhai and specifically speaking ill of the other party, he still thought that Wu Guanhai didn't have much ability?

"Yes, I promise. As long as I keep an eye on the city gate in the past three days, and the soldiers, the yacha, and the soldiers are all under my command, I will definitely be able to search them out. If not, I'm willing to be punished. Wu Guanhai knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists.

"Okay, Wu Guanhai, you take up your post immediately, starting tomorrow, three days later, you have to find out the big black for me, otherwise I will remove you from your position as a warden and beat you with ten sticks." Li Rujun had lingering feelings about Da Hei and them, and wanted to find them out as soon as possible.

"Yes, the villain takes the order." Wu Guanhai bowed his head and said.

Lin Zhenghao and other scholars saw that Ma Wei was arrested and put in prison, and Chen Huatao was also suspended for investigation, and they were all grateful to Li Rujun.

After retreating, Song Wenjian called Wu Guanhai to his side: "Guanhai, are you sure about this?" ”

"Young master, I should be able to find out the big black." Wu Guanhai is the first to say. "Since the accident last night, the city gate has not been opened, and they must still be in the county. As long as I use the method of ten households sitting together, I will definitely be able to find the big black coming. ”

Song Wenjian asked worriedly, "Can you take charge of the barn?" ”

"No problem, Chen Huatao has been losing ground during this time, and it doesn't work to even talk to Ma Wei in the barracks. I've secretly planted my own people, and now that the barracks are pretty much in my hands, I wouldn't have had it so easy to get that token out. Wu Guanhai smiled proudly.

Song Wenjian said: "In this case, you go and catch Da Hei, and the people on my side are all at your disposal." ”

"My lord, if I can let Jian Yuping and Xinding use it for me temporarily, I will be more confident to find out Dahei." Wu Guanhai couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Jian Yuping and the newcomers have very strong combat effectiveness, allowing them to mix with the soldiers, making it easier to capture Dahei.

"Guanhai, when the big black and they fled, there was a bandit who escaped and was injured." Song Wenjian reminded Wu Guanhai.

Wu Guanhai's eyes lit up, "Young master, I will immediately send someone to all the doctors' homes, if anyone dares to conceal it and not report it, they will be beheaded." ”

Hundreds of yachas, soldiers, and others began a large-scale search in the county town in groups of ten, and various officials and others went to each street and alley to contact Fangzheng, and asked them to inform the households inside, and the ten households were jointly protected, and everyone quickly joined forces and went to each household with weapons to check.

If a bandit is found hidden, the sound of gongs and drums will be used as a signal to patrol the streets, and the soldiers and soldiers will immediately arrive.

If anyone who reports a thief is found, he will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you don't report it, all ten households will be beheaded.

Song Wenjian couldn't help but smile secretly after listening to Wu Guanhai and them spread the news in the county.

This is the ancient criminal law of joint sitting, which is very powerful.

It's not that you want to sin, but if you sin, your whole family will suffer.

Or it's not your family that wants to sin, but if your family sins, ten families will suffer.

Therefore, in this half day, many households will unite with kitchen knives and flat shoulders to search for bandits.

Now the whole city is under strict prohibition, all the people are not allowed to go out and stay at home, and the city gates are locked and guarded by soldiers.

When someone enters or leaves, they must hold a yamen official document or road guide, and conduct a search before they can enter or leave.

The portrait of Dahei has been posted on the street, and it is possible that everyone does not know who the county magistrate is, but Dahei, the bandit, must know.
