Chapter 373: After the Killing
"The county has announced to the whole city, there are ten people including the Taihu Lake giant thief Ge Boss, disguised as a brocade guard to earn money from the county government, in a vain attempt to steal public property, and now the thief boss and the thief have been ambushed, and the rest have all been arrested!"
"The people of the whole city must be careful of the door, and if you find a suspicious person, you must shout for help as soon as possible to avoid harm!"
"Inform the whole city to close the inn, be sure to strictly check the pedestrian guidance of merchants and pedestrians, in case the government immediately investigates!"
"If the people are not in need, please postpone leaving the city in the near future, so as not to hide the thieves and their accomplices from lurking outside, killing people and stealing goods, and harming innocents!"
In the afternoon, the sound of gongs and drums sounded throughout the city, and I don't know how many people in She County were surprised. There are too many people who go out to do business, so most people in the city know what Taihu Lake is, and even those who have heard the name of Boss Ge, the water bandit of Taihu Lake, are quite considerable.
This incident was only an amazement for them, and they may use it as a topic of after-dinner chatter in the future, but for those who lurk in the shadows and are waiting for an opportunity, it is really a great shock. In the underworld, Boss Ge can be said to be a legend. He was born in a rich family, lost all his property because of gambling when he was young, and after he fell, he brought a group of people to kill the owner of the gambling house who ruined his family, and fled to Taihu Lake to be a water bandit after looting all his property.
And such a powerful person, this time he even thought of pretending to be a Jinyi guard to earn money in the county government, maybe even Ye Junyao, the county order, was held hostage. In the end, he was killed on the spot. It was Ye Xianzun's eyes like a torch. Or is there any powerful person hidden in the Yamen of She County?
Although there are many people who scoff at such notices from the government. But as the government even offered a large reward for the craftsmen to nitrate the thief's head, more people wavered. came to the rumors to ask for money, but now there is not even a shadow of the treasure, but a group of people have been arrested, and the risk is self-evident. Seeing that such a case might alarm several levels of government at the top, the county government has even advised the people not to go out of the city, in case the city gate is closed next. Won't they be served by someone when the time comes?
Under this cautious thinking, from the evening until the city gate was closed, although the county government had told the people not to leave the city casually, there were still many people who claimed to be merchants who shouted that there were bandits in the city, and it was not safe to stay here, and asked to leave the city with anxious faces.
For such objects that need to be strictly investigated in the past, Hu Zhutou and Zhao Wuye took those veterans in the torture room. The strategy of letting go of the majority and deducting a handful was adopted. The suspected lone thieves who were deeply suspected before were screened out separately and left for various reasons. Because this time Qi Liang was moved by Wang Fulin's words, and took the old soldiers of the Qi family army to several city gates to help investigate, although there were constant small disputes, but according to Ye Junyao's words, they waved their hands to most of the so-called merchants in groups of three or five to let them go.
As a result, most of the people were able to get out of the city safely, some of them were quick to take a boat to the dock of Yuliang Town, and those who had horses hurriedly walked to the official road. In short, at nightfall, the rooms were rented out in the early days, and many rest inns had to face the end of most of the empty rooms.
And Yao Huizu, who has never been busy with official business at night since taking office, took Chen Jiliu, the new governor of Huizhou Mansion, to interrogate those who were arrested in a dark and damp prison at this moment, and worked continuously until late at night after Shen Shi rushed over. Since Ye Junyao did not reveal the death of Boss Ge to these captured people, he only told them that the first evil had been caught, so except for a small number of diehards, most of them quickly confessed. Of course, without exception, they put all the blame on Boss Ge, and even how they got those brocade clothes and sweatshirts were all spelled out from their confessions.
That was the result of the southeast rebellion, Boss Ge led people to eat a brocade guard team in Nanjing, and the people who investigated the case pushed the matter to the Japanese and it was over, and now the truth is revealed!
In the middle of the night, Yao Huizu, who was still a little suspicious before he came, immediately said to Ye Junyao as soon as he came out of prison: "Ye County order, the matter is serious, and it is necessary to report to the Huining Chi Taidao Investigation Division and the Ying Tian Governor as soon as possible." I can co-sign, and if there is any blame, bear it together. ”
Fuzun, you want to share the credit, right?
Ye Junyao thought so in his heart, but he already knew that such a big thing also needed the help of others to take responsibility, and it was inevitable to share the credit. Therefore, he glanced at Chen Jiliu, the official who followed him, and secretly thought that it was fortunate that Duan Fuzun put Shu Bangru in Jixi, and now he has transferred a new one, otherwise Shu Bangru will be stained, and he must oppose it even if he is desperate to offend Fuzun. But this new official is really a good name, Chen Jiliu...... Isn't this an opportunity to slip away?
"Thank you for your kindness, it's the best. We can't leave the head of the county lightly, so it's better for Chen Tuiguan to go to see the inspection division of Huining Chi Taidao, and the county yafang county Cheng will go to Nanjing Yingtian to patrol the yamen, how about this? ”
Chen Tuiguan hopes that this arrangement can be reversed and go to Nanjing by himself, but this case is the beginning and end of the county government's cuisine, and it would be good for him to be able to get rid of it, of course he didn't dare to fight again. And Yao Huizu was also very satisfied with Ye Junyao's words, and immediately expressed his approval. He suddenly glanced at Wang Fulin, who was accompanying him, and said thoughtfully: "Wang Xiaoxianggong was brave and resourceful this time, not only saved Ye Xianling, but also killed the bandit leader on the spot. ”
"The Mansion is falsely praised." Wang Fulin hurriedly explained with a bitter face, "I just killed a little minion with a sword, and the bandit leader was stabbed to death from behind by the servant girl of the Yexian Zun family." Ye Xianzun's family education is well-organized, the maid is loyal and brave, and she started with a mortal heart, but she didn't expect to be able to succeed in one fell swoop. ”
Regarding Wang Fulin's insistence on pushing the first credit to Ye Junyao, so that this county magistrate who already has the ability to recognize the thief and pretend to be a brocade guard and design to capture him alive in one fell swoop, and one more family with the aura of a loyal maid, Yao Huizu's expression suddenly was subtle. But before he could say anything. I only heard Ye Junyao say: "Fu Lin." Why should you be presumptuous? You had just brought me a sword you had just acquired to give me to admire. But it happened to be the meeting, what does it matter who killed the bandit leader, what matters is that you are both wise and brave......"
Hearing Wang Fulin and Ye Junyao praising each other, Yao Huizu simply felt that this pair of men was too speechless, and even a little doubtful that the so-called thief died or not, whether Ye Junyao deliberately buried a certain master hidden in the family, and then let Wang Fulin share the credit. can think about this case that has nothing to do with me, and it would be good if I could get credit. There is no need to delve into anything else, so he won't say more. Next, after repeatedly confirming that the copy was to be sent to the Inspectorate and the Yamen of the Governor of Yingtian, he was relieved.
Of course, Ye Junyao quite solemnly kept this county dignitary to make do with the night in the county government. Although the result reported by the city gates today is that most of the suspicious people have left the city in a hurry, after all, they can't rest assured, if they let the dignified mansion be in danger in those resting inns, his county order is a great credit will be all in vain. Of course. This time, Fang County, who got a great benefit, gave up his house, and Mrs. Su sent another set of bedding.
As for Wang Fulin. He was not able to return home until this time. You must know that this set of bloodstained clothes has been worn by him for most of the day. Of course he didn't want to be so ostentatious, and he didn't want everyone to know that he Wang Xiaoguan was not only a scholar but also a swordsman, in Ye Junyao's words, it was easy to get out of such a dangerous situation, how could he not find some benefits? Even if it is to ask the court to give a reward to a righteous citizen, the Wang family can still exempt two more people from taxes, which can be regarded as the price of his desperate efforts. So, he couldn't resist Ye Cannon, so he had no choice but to agree.
But at this time, as soon as he entered the house, he was miserable. The porter who opened the door looked at him in amazement, and then went in and yelled as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. Suddenly, all the family members were alarmed. Even Mr. Fang and Mr. Ke, who are temporarily borrowing upstairs now, have long known that there has been a lot of turmoil in the county government today, but they haven't seen the bloody scene with their own eyes. The most out of shape is still Wu's, she is almost weak in her legs, if it weren't for Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei supporting her, I'm afraid she would have fainted.
Wang Daoyun adheres to the principle of a gentleman's cooking, and he is a person who has never killed a chicken at all, and he was trembling for a long time, and it was easy to hold back a few words: "You...... What the hell is going on with you? ”
"Dad, are you hurt?" Jinbao had no one to pull, so he rushed over with Qiu Feng at this time, and after asking, he was slightly relieved when he saw that Wang Fulin looked good, "In the middle of today's class, Mrs. asked someone to escort us back, and said that something happened outside, and we were not allowed to go out, what happened?" ”
Wang Fulin thought that his family should have known about it for a long time, but he didn't expect that coming back in this outfit would cause such a mess, and he was suddenly very depressed. It's easy to explain clearly, this is someone's blood not his own blood, he killed someone, not someone else hurt himself, he saw Wang Daoyun faint directly in the head, if it weren't for Mr. Ke's quick eyes, people would have to lie on the ground directly, thinking that they couldn't accept the fact that their son killed people, as for Wu, at this time, it was not much better than Wang Daoyun, his face was pale, and even Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei, who had always been outgoing, were frightened by the word murder.
Sooner or later, this matter will spread out, and seeing the situation of his family like this at this moment, Wang Fulin, who has added a piece in his past life and this life, is also very entangled in killing people for the first time. knew that he would let Ye Junyao lose the so-called kindness, so as not to frighten such a bunch of people in the family. At this time, I only heard Qiu Feng speak: "The little official must be tired when he runs outside with this body, hurry up and get hot water to bathe and change his clothes." ”
Jin Bao also hurriedly asked: "Dad, do you still want to keep this dress, and when the time comes, it will be Chen Tang's testimony?" ”
Wang Fulin nodded hurriedly, secretly saying that at the critical moment, there must be a boy at home, otherwise it will be a big trouble with that unreliable father. He immediately instructed Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei to take Wu back, and troubled Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang to help take care of his father, and he went back to the room immediately. When the hot water came, he picked up the bloodstained clothes three or two times, but he changed three buckets of water, and then he felt as if he couldn't smell blood. But when this silence came, the murderous scenes that he hadn't had time to play back before because he was running around flashed in front of his eyes over and over again at this moment, annoying him so much that he wanted to roar to vent this irritability.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Dad, take a cup of tea, shall you?" This is soothing tea, Qiu Feng said, the recipe he used to see in the Shexian School Palace was very effective. ”
As soon as Wang Fulin looked up, he saw that Jin Bao was standing in front of the bathtub with a cup of tea in both hands, with a nervous and worried expression on his face, so he reached out and took it, and touched the temperature outside the teacup, so he didn't care if it was a cow drink, and drank it directly. Waiting until a cup of warm and slightly sweet soothing tea was in his stomach, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, or if there was someone in front of him, he felt a lot more at ease, he returned the teacup casually, and then sighed. The next moment, he heard Campbell take a deep breath and then utter a word.
"Dad, it's a hero to kill thieves bravely, but don't be so reckless next time!"
Unexpectedly looking at the Jinbao in front of him, Wang Fulin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "There is no next time, I have been busy before and I didn't find out, you look at my hand." ”
Wang Fulin took his wet hand out of the bathtub, and saw that the five fingers of that hand were curled up, and he was still trembling slightly at the moment, as if he was still holding a sword in the middle.
"Useless is a scholar...... If I hadn't experienced it like this, I guess I wouldn't have known that any swordsmanship at a critical moment is fake, and what courage and courage are also fake, and it is true to have a heart that can withstand it after killing someone. Speaking of this, Wang Fulin changed his hand and wiped it on the soft towel on the edge of the bath tub, then stood up wet and patted Jinbao's head, "Go out and tell Qiu Feng, I'm fine, just sleep, you and him go to change Mr. Xia and Mr. Ke, and take a good look at your grandfather." ”
He may not have nightmares, but Wang Daoyun may not!
