Chapter 9: Shock
The strongest army in Western Xia was the Zhuqiang from the Yinxia and Hengshan areas, and the Song people called the Shanjie Chieftain or Hengshan Chieftain.
The people of the Song Dynasty at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, including the Dangxiang people, the Qiang people, the Tubo people and the Han people, were also very strong.
After hearing about it, the surrounding villages rushed to the scene, regardless of whether they were officers and soldiers, and even clashed in order to grab people's heads.
But does Shao Liangzuo dare to admit it? Once it is confirmed that the black bee thieves are impersonated by officers and soldiers, it will arouse endless public resentment.
After making a hasty inquiry about the situation, he revealed the cloth throughout the army, saying that this time it was the smugglers who killed the officers and soldiers on patrol, and put a veil embroidered with black bee thieves over the corpses of the officers and soldiers, blaming the officers and soldiers.
Then he ordered to inquire about the merchant who was selling smuggled salt that day, and the people of the village who were carrying mules.
Things were more troublesome than he thought.
The people of the border area were poor, and the weapons and horses in the hands of the black bee thieves disappeared, but there was still wealth, that is, the clothes of the dead. In this era, there are many, many people who can't wear clothes and don't have enough to eat.
The bounty is for the bee thief's head, not their clothes. So the clothes on the corpses were stripped off, and the treasure maps appeared......
A plausible treasure map!
The people of each village went to receive the reward while carrying their heads, and at the same time searched for the unknown treasure according to the map.
The treasure was not found, but a few days later, more than 30 miles north of Shunning Village, a cave in the relatively remote area of Glue Clay Liang, there were many things, including green salt, some silk cloth, medicinal herbs and spices.
As Wang Ju analyzed, it is possible that after the goods were converted into wealth, they were squandered in the hands of the soldiers, or they were turned into jiaozi and gold and silver, and hidden in the barracks, but these goods had to be disposed of slowly, and the smugglers of salt could not see the light, let alone the light.
So where will it be?
First, there must be a hidden and rarely visited place.
Second, it must not be too far away from the looting area, after all, such as green salt is very cumbersome, and here the mountains are connected with mountains, the mountain roads are rugged, too far, it takes a lot of time to carry it, and it is easy to be seen.
Maybe that's it.
However, these plausible treasure maps do not mark one place.
The news spread, and the people in the surrounding villages went crazy.
But that's where the trouble comes.
When the people removed the thorny grass that hid the entrance of the cave, it also meant that Shao Liangzuo's lies were self-defeating.
In the past few years, the black bee has not only robbed private goods, but also expelled some surrounding villages in order to conceal deterrence, and also did many hurtful things.
These victim villages may also have mules, but they were not killed in the process of carrying mules.
The contents of the cave confirmed the identity of the Black Bee thieves, which aroused the anger of many of the people in the surrounding suffering villages.
The most angry is a group of merchants, local tyrants. Wang Ju was right, no matter how poor Western Xia was, it was still a country, with more than 700,000 households in the household registration alone, not to mention that it also radiated to the distant Tatars and Uighurs.
The scale of commerce is too large, just like the ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty later, where can it be forbidden.
Fortunately, the policy of the Song Dynasty was soft, and one eye was closed, otherwise it would be forcibly banned, and maybe there would be a big mess in the northwest.
This is an extremely dense net, especially the security forces, almost ninety percent of the powerful are involved in this large-scale private business.
However, the battle on the Heiaoling Mountain Road only killed some of the black bee thieves, and it seems that the number one leader, the gun thief is still there, and the third leader, the legendary black bee thief's brain is still there.
When Haoqiang had evidence, he chased and beat the government.
In the Song Dynasty, the officials were appointed by the imperial court, but the local officials were from the local wealthy families.
If the officials are shrewd and capable, they can also deter the officials, and if the officials are weak and can be bullied, they will often be stripped of their rights by the officials everywhere. With Shao Liangzuo's talent, where can he shock the strength of the security army. Haoqiang is pressing, and Xu officials are pressing......
What made Shao Liangzuo suffer the most was not the powerful officials and the people, but the military camp.
There is no need to look at the heads, since the news of the ambush on the mountain road came out, the missing soldiers and wounded soldiers of the various battalions in Tongguò have already been suspected within the barracks.
It is not that all the soldiers are turned to be bandits, although they are not expected to be able to "not take a stitch from the masses", so the participants are only a few soldiers, they eat meat, and other soldiers do not even have to drink soup, what kind of mood will they have.
If it is not handled properly, it may lead to a mutiny among the security forces and even the entire Yanzhou soldiers.
And since the Taizu Dynasty, the Song army has repeatedly mutinied in the military camp.
Those treasure maps caused the people to frantically search for treasures in various mountainous areas, and Shao Liangzuo had to report the matter to Cheng Kan of Xinzhizhou, who scolded him and had to report it to the imperial court.
"Yuzhai Master ......"
"Prison Liu, I'm sorry, my brothers also want to live." After Yu Feng, the owner of the forest village, finished speaking, he pulled out the iron gun, blood splattered, and Liu Jian fell.
On the fifth day after the Battle of Heiaoling, the lord of the walled forest village rebelled, killed the prisoner and many soldiers in the wall, and rebelled out of the walled village with more than 100 subordinates. At this point, the veil of black bee thieves has been lifted.
That is the bandits pretended by Yu Feng, the owner of the forest village, and most of the officers and soldiers under the forest village.
The battle of Sanchuankou, Tumen fell, and later the Western Xia encroached on Tumen, the Song Dynasty had to build Shun'an Village, Huaining Village, Heishui Fort, Shihu Village, Dantou Village, Anding Fort, Qingjian City, Qinghua Village, Zhao'an Village and Weilin Village Eleven Villages, Weilin Village is on the north side of Hunzhou North, less than 150 miles away from Yanzhou, less than 60 miles away from the Security Army City, its intention is to control Tumen Xixia Road in the north, and the west side and the security army villages to defend the Great Wall Ridge Thief Road.
But relatively speaking, its status is not as good as that of other fortresses.
Of course, the oil and water are not as good as those of the other forts, but it has a wide radiating range, and if the officers and soldiers turn into bandits, it is enough for them to secretly flow from Tumen to the Great Wall Ridge to commit crimes.
The motive for committing the crime is there, the conditions for committing the crime are there, and I believe that at this time, I am afraid that there is also evidence of the crime in the hands of Cheng Kan in Yanzhou.
However, it is too close to Wangjiazhai, just east of Wangjiazhai, less than 20 miles away.
When the news reached Wangjiazhai, almost all Ding Zhuang who participated that day were drenched in cold sweat.
It's too close, if Wang Ju hadn't forced them out with a trick, maybe these people would have found them, and they would have touched the village on a dark and windy night and came to slaughter the village. Don't say it's impossible, the number of people they have killed over the years is not much less than the number of people in the village.
The three bee thieves were also exposed, and it is rumored that Yu Feng's marksmanship is gold, and his martial arts are high, so he is undoubtedly the legendary gun thief. There is also a Meng Du head who is good at using knives, who may or may not be a knife thief. And there is also a down-and-out scribe named Song Ji under the command of the lord of Yuzhai, if there is no accident, he is most likely the legendary fan thief.
When the news came out, the entire Yan Yan Road was in an uproar.
Shao Liangzuo was happy, because Weilinzhai was under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou...... It's not entirely my fault.
…………
"It's still the third brother who thinks long-term, but fortunately he bought this little Zhuangzi in advance."
"Big brother, although this place is remote, but the eldest brother must also restrain his good brothers, and he must not go out during this time. Let me think of a long-term solution. ”
"Well, 6 ten generals, how are those two women doing?"
"I went into Yanzhou City and asked, according to the innkeeper, the time also coincides, they were not in the inn for a few days, but there was a man with strange behavior with him."
"What a weird way."
"It's probably the servant of that lady, but she hasn't spoken, and in short, it makes the people in the inn feel weird. Three days before the accident, the man went out with the two women, and I don't know why only two women came back. There is another thing, obviously missing for a few days, but the maid who stayed in the store has never dared to report the crime, just crying in fright, but the servant in the inn has never remembered it, and he has not thought of it yet, but he just thinks it is strange. ”
"Even if you think about it, they don't want to do much, will they report it?" Song Ji, dressed as a scribe, said.
"Yes. However, that kid was very slippery, and rushed to Yanzhou with the convoy overnight, and it was inconvenient for us to start. After arriving in Yanzhou, they immediately hired a carriage to leave Yanzhou, still with the convoy. However, Shui Lao Er has been riding a donkey and following behind. ”
"So we're sure they're the participants."
"Absolutely."
"Why did they leave Yanzhou and go south?"
"This subordinate doesn't know much, but the people in the store say that they are from Kaifeng."
"The people of the capital?"
"Yes."
"How is it from the capital?" This time, even the wise Song Ji didn't understand, he thought for a while and said: "No matter, 6 Ten Generals, you take five brothers to go south immediately, take these four people, and ask the truth." No, what is that kid guarding against? That's right, it's to guard against the owner. In this way, after about the boundary of Yanzhou, their sense of prevention will be weak, and you will find an opportunity to do it again. Then ......"
He made a head-cutting motion.
