Chapter Twenty-Four: The Lin Case
At this time, everyone took a look, but it was Yan Liang who was the most seriously injured, counting the wounds in Li Damu's camp before, there were as many as six or seven injuries! It's also covered in bloody clothes! Wen Chou and Liu Zhong each have four injuries, and Dong Jiang and Wen Ba also have their own injuries! It's not easy to stand up!
Wen Chou thought about it and stretched out his hand to wipe it in Lin Jie's arms, and sure enough, there were a few letters that had been stained red with blood, but their contents could still be seen clearly, saying that Feng would worship Shuai Yunyun!
Wen Chou ordered someone to find a thick rope and tie Lin Jie layer by layer, like a zongzi, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and commanded everyone: "Everyone hold on a little longer, search the houses in the backyard, and don't teach another person to go!" ”
Everyone rushed towards the more than a dozen houses in the backyard again, and there was a crackling sound for a while!
Wen Chou saw that the guests and swordsmen under the Lin family were all dead, and the splashing skins and slaves were either ambushed or fled, and Lin Jie and his parents had also been arrested, he said: "The people have been arrested, we can't let Liu Gong wait for a long time, gentlemen, let's go out." ”
Liu Li waited in it for a long time, still maintaining the posture he had just stood up, looking not arrogant or impatient. You Qin Zhang has already arrested all the other Lin clansmen involved in the case, a total of about 20 people, all of whom are squatting against the wall, and more than a dozen county guards and light men stand in front of them with swords for surveillance. Du Yi, Jiang Cheng and other villagers were chatting in the middle, waiting for Wen Chou to get it!
Wen Chou stepped forward quickly, first presented the letter to the county lieutenant Liu Li, and said, "This thing was found in Lin Jie's arms. Liu Li took it, looked down twice, and looked surprised! Wen Chou then reported: "Lin Jie and his family have been taken down by the kid. ”
"What about his guests? Why not bring it out? County Lieutenant Liu Li asked.
Wen Chou replied quietly: "The guests in his family are all fierce and light to death, and they don't want to be arrested." In desperation, he had to kill them all on the spot. Liu Li glanced at him, his face was full of disbelief, if there were one or two who resisted arrest, he believed it, but if he said that all of them resisted arrest, who would believe it? But he didn't say anything, he limped and looked at Yan Liang, Liu Zhong, Dong Jiang, and Wen Ba, who were covered in blood, and nodded.
From the perspective of the law alone, although there is a strict side, such as the punishment of speech, there is also a human side, such as prohibiting officials from entering private houses at night to arrest people, and such as not encouraging killing and injury when arresting suspects, and the principle of not harming the arrested person, if the suspect is killed or injured without reason, the arrester even has to bear the criminal responsibility.
Wen Chou was in the courtyard just now, indiscriminately, and killed the guests in Lin Qing's house cleanly, strictly speaking, this is a violation of the law, but there are more than 10,000 thieves in front of Wen Chou, so Liu Li also looked down on him, and turned a blind eye to it. -- It is against the law to kill or injure without cause, but if it is "arrested by the suspect" as Wen Chou said, it is possible to kill him without guilt, and it is only "half a reward". "Buy" is a bounty, i.e., only half of the reward that should be given to the pursuer is paid.
Seeing that all the suspects were taken down and brought, Liu Li didn't say much, and only said to the lieutenant chief and the elder who rushed over after hearing the news: "These are all criminals, and I will take them to the county for interrogation." In addition, the Lin clan is suspected of secretly communicating with thieves, before the trial, you have to watch their other clansmen and guests, and none of them are allowed to go out of the door! ”
The lieutenant and the elder nodded in a panic.
Seeing this, Liu Li thought about it and said to Wen Chou: "There are no troops in the middle, so I will bother you to be responsible for this matter!" ”
Wen Chou thought: "Originally, I wanted to leave a few people. "If he didn't personally send someone to watch all the clansmen and guests of the Lin clan, he couldn't rest assured no matter what, so he immediately ordered Tie Qian and Dong Jiang to bring six or seven light heroes to stay in the center, and their food and accommodation were arranged by the local governor.
Liu Li looked at the people of Shahe Township: "Lin Qing's case has come to an end, and the county magistrate already knows about the work of the thief, and the reward will arrive soon." Then he turned to Qin Zhang and said, "I'm tired of Qin Jun escorting the criminals, and follow me to the county!" ”
"Dare to disobey!" Qin Zhangxi said.
……
Liu Li took the lead, and the two armor soldiers followed him, both holding spears and standing tall. Du Yi, Jiang Cheng and others followed, followed by Qin Zhang, who took a few county guards to escort the arrested clansmen of the Lin family. Behind him was Wen Chou, who took Yan Liang, Wen Ba, and Liu Zhong to postpone.
Even the suspect and the armor sergeant, a group of fifty or sixty people, walked through the alley in the bleak cold wind. All the families on both sides of the alley trembled and fell in the door, sending them away, not daring to raise their heads. Hearing their footsteps walking away, there are bold parties who dare to kneel to the door, cautiously probing to look out, in the crowd, a particularly conspicuous back fell in the eyes, head wrapped in a scarf, with a knife on the side, head held high, but it was not Wen Chou! Some people sighed unconsciously, and said: "Recently, I have heard that the "filial piety" is ugly, civil and military, and Taolin Sai bravely ambushes the thieves, and even led 20 dead soldiers and more than 10,000 thieves to behead the head of the thief chieftain! I always feel that the legend is superb, but I didn't expect it to be able to subdue Lin Jie! Fang knows that the rumors are true! ”
It can be seen that Lin Jie's martial arts and courage are deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people!
Du Yi and Wen Chou sent Liu Li to the township border, and said goodbye, watching him and Qin Zhang escort the Lin suspects away, Du Yi turned his head and said to Jiang Cheng and Wen Chou: "Let's go back too!" He looked at the bloody clothes of Wen Chou and the others and said: "You and other merits, I remember it in my heart, this place is close to Wen's Pavilion, you wait to heal first!" At the latest, I will ask for your fame! ”
"Duke Xie Du's love, we will go back first!" Wen Chou had already felt a little unbearable, so he hurriedly took advantage of the situation.
Wen Chou turned around and led the light heroes and Wen's descendants to walk towards Wen's Pavilion. A gust of north wind blew, rolling the wheat seedlings in the fields on both sides of the official road, like undulating waves, looking verdant and gratifying in the distance. In the distance, there are a few trees, sparse and sparse, that have already sprouted green buds, swaying in the wind. The wind is full of fields, and it's a great time to go!
This Shahe Township has taken the first step towards prosperity and strength.
"Brother Liu, this forest festival is so brave, why didn't you see him in the Liu Pavilion that day?" Wen Chou suddenly remembered this, so he asked Liu Zhong.
"It is said that in those days, Lin Jie was leading dozens of his guests to spring hunt in the mountains of Gaoyi County! That's why he never followed his brother Lin Qing. Liu Zhong thought for a moment.
"Gaoyi County, spring hunting? I guess it was then that his family got on the line of thieves! If Lin Jie was at home at that time, Lin Qing would not have handed over the horses so easily! Wen Scandal said for a long time. Thinking of Lin Jie's bravery, I can't help but feel a little scared and feel pity.
What he was afraid of was that he didn't expect Lin Jie to be so brave, if those splashes didn't escape, I'm afraid that half of these people he brought would die; And it's a pity for him, of course, that such a warrior can't be accepted as a subordinate. If you can accept it as your subordinates, I am afraid that it will be another "ancient evil" warrior!
He has been traveling for more than two years, especially in the past month, he has met a lot of people, Liu Zhong is famous in the township, he is a masterpiece of the moment, Tie Qian, "Ba Shuang Halberd", and Dong Jiang, "Dwarf Shilang", are also warriors. There is also Yan Liang, the Hebei general who is as famous as himself in history and is famous for later generations, but none of them can compare to Lin Jie, although he and Yan Liang are young now, only seventy or eighty percent of the strength at the peak of history. It can be said that Lin Jie is the first warrior he has seen and heard through so far.
He thought, "It's a pity that such a warrior can't be of use to me!" After thinking about it, he decided, "When this is the case, I should ask the village officials carefully if there are any other famous warriors in the village." Don't ask to be able to beat Lin Jie, as long as you can be with Liu Zhong and Tie Qian, it's also good! ”
