Chapter 176: People Must Be Saved (3)
The scout on the side repeated Bai Qing's Beijing dialect in the Donglin dialect that he had learned, Yuan Ting nodded while listening, raised his hand and pointed, and asked Bai Qing to sit down at the table in the courtyard, and the villagers in front of the stove hurriedly boiled the water, and sat down with a bowl of water and said slowly.
The villagers have exhausted the past they know one by one, not only Shen's, but also the powerful big families in the county have been ordered, because they are all in-laws, like the Shen family, the children of the clan are officials at all levels in Heyang Prefecture, and the in-laws are all over the state.
Yuan Ting, they know so well, naturally because these big families are doing a big deal every time they have a red and white wedding, and the people also follow the wet water feast, which makes people talk about it for half a month, and the villagers themselves have eaten, and many stories are heard on this kind of banquet, but most of the stories have a beginning and no end.
Fortunately, Bai Qing and Chengfeng are not ordinary people, with their experience and insight, these stories can already be guessed from the beginning, most of the ordinary people involved have no good end, not to mention, it doesn't matter if there is no end, the people's discussions cannot be out of nowhere, as long as they know that these things have happened, they can always inquire about the details when they return to the county.
They chatted until midnight, Bai Qing and Chengfeng knew how to ask questions, and almost exhausted the stories in the stomachs of the villagers, and then left in a hurry with torches at night, and rushed back to the Qianhu Office of Donglin County outside the county overnight, and discussed countermeasures with the generals who stayed behind.
At this time, Bai Qing heard more new news, yesterday evening there was already a gossip on the street, there was an old man surnamed Zhao who took a trip to the Yamen, and brought two officials and a girl to the county, and then, the Yamen took a new girl in the afternoon and locked up in the women's prison for serious offenders.
These two comparisons, coupled with the fact that the children who followed the official errand saw Qi Ke enter the yamen and never come out, can already conclude that the girl seen by the guy in the restaurant is Qi Ke.
The cane is in exile, and there are generally two kinds of prisoners in the back of the prison cell, Qi Ke was admitted to the place where death is inevitable before he entered the yamen, and it is very easy to rectify the person, first go to the torture room to walk around, and immediately let people go to half their lives without external injuries, and then pull them out to pass through the hall when they are drowsy, then it will be up to the people in the hall to fiddle.
The officers knew the stakes and the terrible consequences, and they were all discussing how to get people out as quickly as possible.
"The problem we have now is that we recognize that the title deed in Qi Ke's hands is genuine, and the Shen clan's power in the county, they can easily get a new title deed, erase the old transfer file in Qi Ke's hand, and turn it into a transaction between the salt merchant and the Shen family."
"So tomorrow's situation is mainly observation? See what's going on in the yamen? When they arrived at the dock yesterday, the family of the deceased had a fight, but it didn't get cheap. ”
"It's not a matter of worrying about family members making trouble, they will make trouble with us, muddy the waters, see which side the people are willing to stand on. According to what the villagers said, Qi Ke was alone, with a dog, and beat away dozens of big men guarding Zhuangzi, and after dawn, we could completely let out the news, just say that the deceased himself provoked the beast to be killed on the mountain, and the family was unreasonable, and dared to reverse black and white to frame the little girl to harm people because it was a servant of the Shen family. The people like this kind of story very much, and if we can finally prove that it was the Shen family who maliciously framed us, it will also be beneficial to ourselves. ”
The Bai family army came from afar to reorganize coastal defense, naturally to grab power with the local forces that have become a climate, and compete for who is the boss who has the final say, the Shen family, as the biggest snake in the county, sent a reason to come up, and if they don't hit their arrogance, they are sorry for the reputation that the Bai family army has won on the battlefield for many years, not to mention that Donglin County is Bai Qing's town, and the villages and towns under his rule are under his control, he doesn't want to mess up things when he just gets familiar with local military and political affairs.
