Chapter 185: Bloodshed
Zhang Chu was thinking back to the conversation with Li Guo just now, when Zhang Jun, who was in charge of military discipline, walked in from outside. Zhang Chu knew that something was going on as soon as he saw his serious expression, and sure enough, Zhang Jun reported that there was a case in Liujiaao Village, outside Yanchang City, where a family of five was killed and their property was robbed.
The security of Yanchang County is already very good under the governance of the security army and the protection of the militia in the village, but now that there is such a vicious case, Zhang Chu hurriedly asked: "Find out where the bandits did it?" ”
"It doesn't look like the bandits did it. It's possible that someone from our security forces did it. Zhang Jun said expressionlessly.
"How is this possible, the security forces have always had a good relationship with the people, and our team management is also very strict, how could this happen." Zhang Chu was shocked.
"According to the villagers, several people in military uniforms were seen leaving the victim's home, and then the victim was found. In the extended area, only the security forces wore official and military-style clothing. Zhang Jun didn't want such a thing to happen, but he still stated the facts.
"Send someone to track it down immediately, no matter who did it, you must find out, and take me to the scene to see." Zhang Chu immediately got up and walked outside, and at the same time gave an order.
Zhang Jun didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led people to the scene of the incident with Zhang Chu, and finally came to the place after half a day's rush.
The whole village of Liujiaao has been controlled by the security forces, and the villagers know that the situation is serious, so they stay at home and do not go out.
Zhang Chu came to the scene of the crime, this is a family surnamed Liu, the whole family lives in the outermost courtyard in the east of the village, according to the chief of the security guard, this is three generations of grandchildren, the young couple has a boy who lives with his parents. All of them were killed in the house, and the contents of the house were a mess, apparently the marks of someone turning them over. Zhang Chuzhen took a look at the corpses, and all five of them were injured by sharp weapons, and they were all killed with a knife, and at first glance, they were all killed by bandits who had gone through battles or committed many crimes.
The chief said that a villager saw four soldiers dressed in official clothes leaving the house on horseback, and then found the people who had been killed. The security guards who arrived first had followed the trail.
Zhang Chu's heart was very nervous, the officers and soldiers didn't dare to appear here at all now, and the security army had always been wearing captured official and military uniforms, but they were only distinguished by the logo on the neckline, and the people didn't see whether there was a sign on the neckline of those people. And bandits, horse thieves, and so they don't have the habit of wearing official and military clothes, so it seems that the security army soldiers are the most suspicious of committing crimes. If it was really done by the soldiers of the Security Army, his years of education would have failed, and it would have had a huge negative impact on the reputation of the Security Army.
The death of this family of five is too pitiful, no matter who did the crime, the original culprit must be caught, severely punished, and avenged the tragic deaths of the people.
After watching the scene, Zhang Chu's mood was still difficult to calm down, and he took Zhang Jun and some soldiers to track down the traces left by those murderers, although he knew that someone had already done it in front, he just didn't want to wait there, he had to do something.
He had just walked out a short distance. As soon as the horse galloped, the people on the horse saw Zhang Chu and the others and immediately turned over and dismounted, and came to report that four suspicious people had been found at the checkpoint on the border of Yanchang County, and they had been detained by the sentry.
After hearing this, Zhang Chu immediately led people to the bayonet. When I got there, I hurriedly inquired about the situation.
A platoon commander at the bayonet reported that these four people were all the way to Yanchang County, and they went to Yanchang County to purchase weapons and armor, and they were wearing official and military uniforms bought from the security army.
Zhang Chu decided to interrogate the four people immediately, and the four were separated into different rooms to be interrogated at the same time, and their identities were quickly clarified, and the four people were indeed all the way in the rebel army, and they were sent by the leader to Yanchang County to buy weapons and supplies. In order to escape responsibility, one of them deliberately lied about the route they traveled and deliberately avoided Liujiaao Village, which exposed the fact that they were weak in heart after the killing. Under cross-examination by the security forces, their denial did not work, and finally they had to admit the fact of the killing. It turned out that on the way back after shopping, they saw that the clothes of the officers and soldiers were very new, so they picked out a few and wore them themselves. When passing through Liujiaao Village, I went to the village surnamed Liu's family to look for food, and saw that the young daughter-in-law of the Liu family looked very marked, one of the thieves made a joke, and had a conflict with the man of the Liu family, the thief was fierce, took out the newly bought weapon, and killed the whole family of five members of the Liu family, and robbed the Liu family's property by the way. When he got to the bayonet, he was stopped by the sentry. But they didn't think it was that serious. One of the ringleaders-like men was clamoring to see the high-ranking officials of the security forces.
He was brought to Zhang Chu. After Zhang Chu introduced himself, the leader was also taken aback, but he didn't expect Zhang Chu to rush over so quickly. But he still said nonchalantly: "Zhang Dashuai, you can't hurt the harmony between the rebels because of this little thing, we rebelled against the court together, and we also have business dealings with you, who hasn't killed a few people in this troubled world." ”
"Death to the murderer, no matter what you do, in the territory of my security army, whoever kills the people must die." The anger in Zhang Chu's heart exploded. He didn't want to see the hateful faces of these people anymore, so he ordered someone to pull them down.
Zhang Chu ordered the four to be carefully interrogated, and only after the evidence was conclusive was they escorted back to Liujiaao.
The villagers of Liujiaao were all concentrated. Zhang Chu arranged for a special person to conduct a public trial of the four people in front of the people. Only then did the people understand that it was a foreign thief who had harmed their neighbors.
The four of them felt frightened in the face of the angry crowd, and collapsed on the ground and begged for mercy loudly.
Zhang Chu walked over and looked at them with even more resentment in his heart, the people of this family escaped the famine with great difficulty, and they were not starved to death, but they did not expect to die at the hands of these thieves. This God is really unfair, why is it so difficult for the poor people to survive.
The four were convicted of the crimes, and then immediately pulled out of the village and beheaded them.
Seeing that the Liu family's revenge had been avenged, the people came over to express their gratitude to Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu was very ashamed, he always felt that if he could do better, the murder of the Liu family might be avoided.
After dealing with all this, Zhang Chu was still thinking about it on the way back to Yanchang, and at first everyone thought that the one wearing the official army costume must be the security army, and through this incident, it also reflected a problem in the security army, and now the security army does not have a unified clothing like other rebels, and everything is worn, it is easy to be mistaken, and this problem must be solved immediately.
