Chapter 8: Who Are the Thieves?
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu are just ordinary splashes in the final analysis.
Usually, he only dares to show off his might in front of ordinary people.
Born to fear these servants.
At this time, he was frightened by these officials, and he was naturally panicked and couldn't care about anything.
When Wang Bantou heard this, he was shocked.
He has been in the government service for a long time, and he still has some experience in looking at people.
At this time, I knew that Liu Hua and Zhang Yu were not lying.
Oops.
Wang Bantou secretly said that it was not good.
This Wang team leader is actually a genuine person who has a bright future.
It was also for the convenience of finding out the news that he entered this yamen as a servant.
It's been seven or eight years, and now they're all in charge.
Could it be that a brother revealed his whereabouts and was known by these two splashes?
In fact, Wang Bantou also knows that his gang sometimes acts secretly enough.
And these people are all Han Chinese, plus ordinary people don't want to cause trouble, and they usually turn a blind eye to what they know, so they don't cause a big disaster.
But I didn't expect it to be bad today.
Wang Bantou was secretly vigilant in his heart, and it seemed that he would have to pay attention to it in the future.
If there was only Wang Bantou alone at this time, it would naturally be easy to hide the news.
A few casual words of intimidation will make these two pranksters retreat.
It's a pity that there are still a few colleagues from the yamen around at this time.
These people aren't as foolish as splashes.
"I think what I said is serious, why don't I bring it back for trial first."
Wang Bantou secretly pondered for a while, and first planned to bring Liu Hua and Zhang Yu back to ask.
At the very least, you have to know what went wrong before you can deal with it.
Several officials also nodded yes, and their faces were full of joy.
The credit for the arrest of the anti-thief is not small, and the reward is also a lot.
However, there are too many people involved, and so many people up and down will divide it, and it will not actually be much in everyone's hands, but at least some will be taken.
This was a bonus.
Profitable, these people naturally work hard.
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu were taken back crying.
"Wang Bantou, ladies and gentlemen, we are the thieves we encountered in Weijiazhuang outside the city."
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu were really scared at this time, and asked what to say.
"Huh? Sling the bull. ”
A young official directly scolded.
Weijiazhuang, the locals of Yangzhou, have all heard of it.
At that time, there was also a big family living there, plus the tenants around, in fact, there were a lot of people, no less than a thousand people, which was a big Zhuangzi.
It's a pity that more than ten years ago, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the head of the family and the people took the lead in resisting the shaving order, but the door was destroyed.
What was killed in Weijiazhuang was a river of blood and corpses everywhere.
Although more than ten years have passed, no one dares to go to that place.
I heard that in the middle of the night, there are often unjust souls crying.
During the day, it is also gloomy, making people feel cold all over the body, and whoever has nothing to do will run to that place.
However, this kind of place is actually a place where anti-Qing righteous people often haunt.
The main thing is that it is secluded and secluded enough.
Even Wang Bantou himself had been to that place.
"We are really the thieves we saw in Weijiazhuang last night."
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu were afraid that these people would not believe in them at this time, and when the time came, they would give the two of them the name of anti-thieves, which would really make the heavens and the earth unspiritual.
In fact, Liu Hua and Zhang Yu are thinking too much, the two of them have no knowledge, and they usually only see these officials going on a rampage and taking people everywhere.
I thought that these officials wanted to give people any crime they wanted.
I don't know that if you want to establish order anywhere, there is naturally a set of rules.
Otherwise, it won't be messed up.
Even if you want to slander people as thieves, you must have evidence that you can see.
It is not something that can be convicted by empty words.
Of course, the big man spoke, and that was another matter.
"How many thieves are there? You have taken a photo, can you still come alive to report to the official? ”
The young servant scoffed.
These two people are not ruthless characters at first glance, they really bumped into the thief, and they can come back alive.
"It's two young people, a man and a woman."
Liu Hua hurriedly replied.
However, these words made many officials disdainful and disappointed.
In the middle of the night, in a secluded place, lonely men and widows.
Is this an anti-thief routine?
This is obviously a private tryst, these two must have bumped into a pair of wild mandarin ducks, no wonder they can come back alive.
Wang Bantou also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The credit is gone, and the reward is gone.
Even if you want to catch that pair of wild mandarin ducks, it's no fun, and if you are so surprised, you will definitely not go there again in the future.
Several officials lost interest for a while, and it was really in vain to delay their efforts, and they all turned around and planned to leave.
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu panicked this time.
"But the man didn't shave his hair or have braids."
All the officials were stunned at this moment.
Didn't shave my hair, didn't have braids.
In this era, except for monks and Taoist priests, it is almost equivalent to a thief.
Wang Bantou was also puzzled.
These brothers are acting on the territory of the thieves, so it is naturally impossible for them to have no scruples, so they actually have braids.
It's just that some people want to go back to Treasure Island to resume their lives, so naturally they can't go back with braids, and they can only cut their hair short to facilitate their actions, but the identities of these people are naturally very important.
Like Wang Bantou, even if he goes back, few people know him.
It's troublesome now, nine times out of ten these people are their own people, and they are also big shots.
But this news is unclear, and Wang Bantou can't guess who it is for a while.
However, at present, in the vicinity of Yangzhou City, Wang Bantou knows only one person with short hair, and that is Yin Xiaolong.
However, Yin Xiaolong is almost forty years old, so naturally he has nothing to do with young people.
Wang Bantou was also as big as a bucket for a while.
Could it be that some big man came from above?
Although these people are all acting in Yangzhou City, they are not closely related to each other.
Moreover, Wang Bantou's status is not high, and he is not clear about some news.
"Do you know those two?"
Wang Bantou hurriedly asked.
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu shook their heads. A blank face.
They didn't know each other, but they were really well dressed, especially the man.
Liu Hua and Zhang Yu described it vividly.
These officials only heard that the women were dressed more decently.
The man's costume sounded completely confused, it was weird, and Liu Hua and Zhang Yu were also messy.
It was completely unimaginable.
"Lock this man up first, and we'll go over and have a look at it in the evening."
Wang Bantou was a little worried at this time.
But since the man and the two splashes took a picture, naturally they wouldn't stay where they were stupid.
These people have gone around a few more times in the last few nights, fooling around.
This matter may be over.
The news must be spread as soon as possible, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
And be sure to inform the brothers that they can't go there recently.
However, Wang Bantou still had a trace of doubt in his heart, who was that woman.
As far as he knew, there were no women in Yangzhou City's own people.
I don't know if this woman was brought by the man or a local.
If it's a local, it's troublesome.
Wang Bantou took advantage of the noon meal to go to a teahouse next to the yamen.
Guo Hai, the shopkeeper of the teahouse, saw Wang Bantou coming over and greeted him with a smile.
"Wang Bantou is here for tea, please sit inside."
This Guo Hai is also a person of the former Ming Dynasty, and the opening of a teahouse here is also to facilitate the delivery of news with Wang Bantou.
Therefore, this Wang team leader often comes here to wander around to prevent others from being suspicious.
