Several women banded together to search for Li Ling at the governor's yamen, and their husbands disappeared on the same day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After investigation, their men had all been to the same place on the day of their disappearance, but it was really difficult to find out about the disappearance of a few months ago.

"My lord, the prefect and the governor have both investigated this case, but after they checked it, they found that there was indeed no abnormality here, so they designated more than a dozen men as missing persons!" Xiao Ba introduced to Li Ling.

This is the exit of a small valley, and across the street is the fields of these dozen families.

Everything was in plain sight, and even the traces of crime in the open mountains were washed away by the flood!

"My lord, my husband came to see the crops in the rain that day, and he didn't know that he didn't go back again!"

"My lord, this is an open field, and on the other side is a crop, if it is ......, if they are really swept away by the flood, there must be a corpse ......."

More than a dozen ladies cried and cried, all saying that their husbands had a hard life, and they wanted to ask the Governor to find them on their behalf, and they wanted to see people in life and corpses in death!

"Quiet, quiet, the Governor is trying to figure out a way for you, everyone is not restless!".

Xiaoba shouted loudly, this open land is very large, and it is very difficult to test this place one by one.

"Xiaoba, you go find some hollow bamboo, and then drive these bamboos into the ground about three feet, and then cut off the bamboo!" Li Ling thought for a moment and commanded.

Xiao Ba was extremely convinced of Li Ling, he didn't ask the eldest young master what he was going to do, and hurriedly brought dozens of people to do it!

This kind of bamboo is produced in many places in Jiangxi, and coupled with the identity of the guard of the Xiaoba Governor's Palace, it is naturally handy to do things.

Soon, according to Li Ling's instructions, the square places on the outskirts of the valley were full of bamboo.

All the bamboos are buried in the ground, and only the length of a chopstick is exposed on the ground.

According to Li Ling's instructions, Xiao Hachi found a hound with a keen sense of smell, and after releasing the hound, let it run on the land to its heart's content.

The hound soon spotted the bamboo sticking in the ground, and immediately put its nose on the bamboo to distinguish them one by one.

The bamboos are spaced almost two squares apart, and the hounds are very quick to tell the difference.

Sure enough, it stopped in front of several bamboos more than a hundred meters from the valley, and kept wandering there and trying to remove them.

The hound seemed to go berserk, and it kept digging the dirt in front of the bamboo, as if it was about to dig.

"Come on, dig up this land for me!"

Li Ling already knew that there must be something greasy in this place, at least the smell coming from the underground was different from other places.

"Yes, sir!". Hachi agreed, and began to dig with a dozen guards.

There has been a new development in the case! The women began to get excited!

Farmers who were doing farm work nearby also joined the excavation team with their own shovels.

There are many people who are easy to do, everyone works together, and the ground is dug deeper and deeper.

The hound was roaring all around, and his master, fearing that he would hurt people, immediately tied it up with a rope.

Even so, as the excavation continued, the dog barked more and more.

Li Ling called the owner of the hound to him, gave him a piece of loose silver, and said: "Your hound has made a great contribution this time, you can take this bit of silver, buy some bones with it!" ”。

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." The silver Li Ling gave him was enough two taels, enough for their whole family to live for a month, how could Orion not be grateful?

After Orion left, Li Ling shifted his attention to Xiaoba and the others.

The pit gets bigger and deeper.

"Everyone's!". A woman suddenly jumped into the pit.

She saw her man's clothes, which she had made for him with her own hands.

"Sister-in-law, calm down!". Hachi hurriedly pulled the lady out of the dirt pit.

A total of seventeen corpses lay side by side in the dirt pit, but because of the time, these corpses have become white bones!

"Husband, ......".

When the excavation was over, the women burst into tears, and they could still tell who their man was by the remnants of their clothes!

"My lord, you, you have to call the shots for us, I don't know which one is so harmful!".

The woman wailed and wailed, and the peasants who had come to see the excitement also sighed, for they had been a living man a few months ago, and had been killed in one day!

"My lord, how are we going to investigate now?" Xiaoba now pins all his hopes on Li Ling, these ladies lose but men lose their support for life, they are too miserable!

Li Ling ignored Xiao Ba, but went directly down to the dirt pit, he found that these men were surrounded by some scattered copper coins, and they were exactly the same as those circulating on the market some time ago, they were all imitation official coins, and the texture and thickness on them were not bad at all!

Immediately before his eyes came up with the image of people minting copper coins in the valley, and the flood washed them out of the valley, and these simple peasants were brutally slaughtered while collecting them!

This is not Li Ling's groundless speculation, a very important evidence is that the bones of the killed farmers have some deep or shallow cracks.

Apparently this was the result of a knife wound.

"Hachi, you go to the camp and transfer some soldiers over, and go to the valley with me to have a look, maybe we will have other discoveries!"

If Li Ling's inference is correct, there should be murderers of these farmers in the valley, maybe these people still have soldiers with weapons, and they should be more guarded against!

The military camp was only more than ten miles away from here, and in less than an hour, Xiaoba came with five hundred cavalry.

Li Ling took the first step on the horse, and took the lead into the valley on the back of a dozen horses.

Not far from the valley, Li Ling found traces of someone's activities here, and several stone-built houses had not yet been destroyed!

"My lord, there really is someone!". Little Eight was overjoyed, and he led the horses to the front of the stone house!

It's just that to his disappointment, the room was empty and there was no one!

How can this really be true, they have been busy for a long time and only found a few stone houses?

"Hachi, take someone to see if there are any other hidden places around here, if I expect it to be true, this is the place where fake copper coins are made!"

The equipment used to make money is not small, and they will not move far in a short time!

"Yes, sir!".

Hachi said yes and left with the soldiers!

Hachi chased down the road with his cavalry, and it took two hours to return.

It's just that they didn't find anything!

When the women saw the cavalry coming and going and getting nothing, they thought that the Governor had nothing to do, and wept even more on the bones!

"My lord, are you looking for another path? I know of a trail that leads to the canyon, and maybe the path you're looking for is there."

A woodcutter familiar with the geographical environment stepped forward, and he provided Li Ling with a secret place.

In winter, there are many withered vines in the gorge, and the woodcutter has been there several times in previous years, and I still remember it.

"Then I'm going to trouble you to lead the way!" Li Ling thanked the woodcutter.

He didn't explain why he was looking for the hidden place!

This canyon is only two miles away from the place where the crime occurred, and Li Ling rode a horse with just a cup of tea!

"My lord, this is what I mean by canyon, because the road at this end is very narrow, and the exit is covered by vines, and people who don't come here often don't usually pay attention to the road!" The woodcutter explained to Li Ling that he was the first to enter the canyon from a place two carriages wide.

Continuing along this road, the road gradually opened up.

When they had walked about three miles, they watched smoke rise from a distance above the canyon.

"What a great place to hide!". Li Ling sighed and said!

The woodcutter was also surprised, he did not expect that there were still people in this place.

The smoke and the row of stone houses in the distance shocked him, something he had never seen before!

"Hachi, bring someone with me!".

Li Ling stopped the woodcutter and the crowd of onlookers from stepping forward, and he didn't know how many soldiers were ambushed in this canyon.

These people are going to kill if they don't agree with each other!

Although the woodcutter and the other people were very puzzled, they also did so, they were all simple-minded people, and they would definitely not hinder Li Ling's handling of the case.

A dozen women wanted to go forward, but they were frightened by the menacing appearance of the soldiers.

They hurried out of the canyon to guard the bones of their men.

Li Ling led five hundred cavalry to the stone house in the canyon.

This is indeed a workshop for making fake copper coins. There are only a few hundred soldiers stationed here, and they are constantly patrolling the surroundings of the workshop.

For the arrival of cavalry, soldiers and craftsmen were surprised.

"Listen to my orders, kill the craftsmen first, and then rush out with me!"

The cavalry was fast, and the soldiers woke up from a dream when they reached the vicinity of the stone house.

An officer who looked like an adjutant gave the order to slaughter the craftsmen.

It's just that it's too late at this time, and the cavalry quickly surrounds the soldiers guarding here, but there are all those who try to kill the craftsmen!

This is the vigilance of being a soldier, although Li Ling didn't say anything, but they understood the intention of the boss!

"I'm fighting with you!". The lieutenant suddenly drew his saber and turned around and stabbed at Li Ling.

"Presumptuous, dare to assassinate an adult!". Xiao Ba and several cavalrymen around Li Ling moved at the same time, and all the big swords and spears greeted the deputy general!

"Don't, stay alive!". Li Ling shouted loudly.

This deputy is the person with the highest status here, and he knows the most, if he is willing to speak, the mastermind behind the scenes will soon surface!

The adjutant general's eyes were firm, and when the cavalry drew his spear back, he suddenly grabbed the head of the spear with both hands and stabbed it into his chest!

Blood stained his clothes, and the adjutant general was thinking of committing suicide!

When the lieutenant's huge body fell to the ground, the other soldiers panicked, they had lost their leader, and they didn't know what to do.

"Li Ling, the governor of Zhejiang, is here to investigate the matter of minting copper coins without permission, please cooperate with my investigation, otherwise there will be a dead end!" Li Ling shouted loudly.

The Governor actually came to inquire about this matter in person, and behind him was the world-famous Li Jiajun.

After all, it is illegal to make copper coins privately, and the soldiers opposite the powerful Li Jiajun hesitated, and they obediently handed over their weapons and accepted Li Ling's review.

According to the soldiers, these people were all regular soldiers affiliated with Nanchang Wei, and they were all paid by the imperial court.

They only know that their boss is this Wang Counselor, and they don't know if there are still people above him.

The general is dead, is this matter going to be solved again?

Li Ling took a big breath of air, if this was really the case, how could he explain to those dozen women?

Do you want to tell them that your man's case is a headless case?

How do you want Li Ling to say this?

"My lord, I ......, I know who Vice Admiral Wang's family is!"

An old craftsman walked out tremblingly, and he told Li Ling a strange news.

This workshop was directly under the command of the head of King Ning's palace, and he once heard Vice General Wang call this person a military advisor.

It's really King Ning, how could such a big thing happen in Jiangxi and have anything to do with King Ning!

Li Ling decided to startle the snake and asked Xiao Ba to take someone to invite this military advisor to the Governor's Palace.

When Xiaoba brought people to the palace, King Ning already knew about the counterfeiting of copper coins!

"You, it's all good things you did, didn't you say that Li Ling wouldn't care about this matter?" King Ning scolded the Xingyuan Daoist loudly.

If the workshop had been hidden according to the previous policy, where would such a thing have happened?

Things have reached the point of no return, Xingyuan is no longer pretending at this time, he has completely lost the demeanor of the fairy wind and bones, he lowered his head and said nothing!

"Strategist, you ......" King Ning sighed, he originally wanted the other party to take all the guilt, but it was difficult to say the words when it came to his mouth.

Since the military advisor arrived at King Ning's Mansion, he has been conscientiously assisting himself, and King Ning really can't do this kind of unkind thing.

"Don't worry, the prince knows how to do it!" The military advisor sighed secretly, he was still defeated in the hands of Li Ling.

He calmly walked out of the palace with Xiaoba.

"It's your ......."

Li Ling was very surprised when he saw this Ning Wang military advisor, he was actually his own Song Xing of the same year.

The two won the examination together and took the exam together, but he was a little unlucky, and he was disqualified from taking the exam because he did not keep the draft.

Unexpectedly, he was so competitive that he actually took refuge in King Ning.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it, I always wanted to meet you but I was suppressed by you everywhere, Li Ling told you the truth, everything was done by me and had nothing to do with the prince!". Song Xing said loudly.

He has been trusted by King Ning in the palace for more than a year, and he can't help but repay the kindness of his encounter.

Song Xing observed for a long time before choosing to take refuge in King Ning, originally thinking that the two masters and servants could build an ideal world in their hearts with one heart, but they still thought that they were still defeated in the hands of their old enemies.

"Li Ling, I admit all my sins, don't implicate the innocent, I am responsible for ...... I look down on you."

Song Xingtu took out a dagger and stabbed it in the chest! (To be continued.) )
