Chapter 96: The Mountain God Offers New Help

Li Zheng only felt frightened!

At this time, the little ingots said: "Dad, mother, Grandpa Lizheng, I think we should search them!" In this way, it is good to know their identity! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Zheng nodded and stepped forward, intending to search his body himself.

Liu Laohu glared at Li Zheng fiercely in the dim light.

Rizheng was startled and almost sat on the ground.

Liu Laohu is a bandit who has killed people, and his eyes are naturally extraordinary!

The villagers were also frightened by his gaze and took a step back.

Others are afraid of Liu Laohu and others, but Jin Saburo is not afraid!

What's more, they were all tied up by him, what else is there to be afraid of?

Jin Saburo squatted down, searched them quickly, and found several scimitars from them, and there were dried blood stains in the grooves of the scimitars.

Xiao Yuan Bao leaned over curiously, looked at the hideous scars on their faces and bodies, and stood on tiptoe to look at the knives in Jin Saburo's hands.

"Third brother, they have a lot of scars on their bodies, it's so scary, aren't they afraid of pain?" Xiao Yuanbao asked crisply, "I heard my father and mother say that there is a big group of bandits on the mountains north of our county!" You say, "Are they bandits?" ”

Xiao Yuanbao doesn't say, everyone hasn't thought in that direction yet.

As soon as Xiao Yuanbao said, the audience was in an uproar, some children were so frightened that they hid behind adults, and some women were so frightened that they couldn't overdo it and covered half of their faces with their hands.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Jin Saburo waved his hand, "The bandits are nothing remarkable!" Before they could even pull out their knives, I subdued them all! It can be seen that they are not terrible! ”

"That's what you have the ability to, and for you, of course he's not terrible!"

"They have a lot of scars on their bodies, which shows that they have injured and killed many people, and I don't even dare to make eye contact with them! If you want to say, it's still Jin Saburo who is powerful! How long have I been practicing martial arts blindly at home, and now I can fight four with my bare hands! ”

"Let's go to the martial arts championship in the future! If you go to the battlefield again, you must be a capable general who will make the enemy fearful! ”

"That's right."

……

Jin Saburo was a little embarrassed by their praise, but Xiao Yuanbao said very calmly: "Yes, the third brother is the most powerful!" ”

Kim Saburo thought to himself, my sister is so cute!

"So, what should we do with these people?" Rizheng asked tremblingly.

"Send it to the government!" Kim Saburo said.

After Jin Saburo said this, he pulled out the rag from Liu Laohu's mouth: "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

"Whew!" Liu Laohu squirted a mouthful of thick phlegm into Jin Sanlang's face, but fortunately, Jin Saburo hid quickly, so that the thick phlegm would not stick to his face, "You dare to catch Lao Tzu, tomorrow the brothers in our village will go down the mountain, take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to kill your whole family, and then burn your entire village!" ”

The villagers were all frightened.

Jin Saburo kicked over and kicked Liu Laohu to the ground: "Admit that you are a bandit, right?" Blue sky and white day, Lang Lang Qiankun, I still don't believe it, you bandits dare to be so rampant, dare to run to such a far village to kill people! ”

Jin Saburo blocked the rags for him again, and then said to Li Zheng: "Uncle Li Zheng, people will be put here tonight." ”

"Don't don't," Li Zheng hurriedly waved his hand, "You better take it back, I'm afraid." ”

"It's all tied up."

"I'm afraid," Li Zheng turned his face away, "Don't worry, I will come over early tomorrow morning, and I will go out of the yamen with you to report the case and testify to you." ”

Jin Saburo nodded, picked them up from the ground one by one, and pushed them forward.

The rest of the village was far away from the Jin family, and they were all afraid of the bandits.

They admire Kim Saburo very much!

Catching four bandits without knowing it is nothing!

Knowing that they are bandits, they are not afraid, this is the most admirable place!

After all, people are blood-stained beasts!

Inhumane!

Jin Saburo pushed the people back to Jin's house and tied them under a big tree in the courtyard of the house.

He didn't plan to sleep, he planned to watch them in the middle of the night!

lest they run away by any means!

The rest of the family couldn't sleep either, and they tossed and turned in bed.

Only the small ingots have a big heart, and they sleep sweetly as soon as they dip their pillows.

She fell asleep again.

She saw Grandpa Mountain God in a dream.

"Hello Grandpa Mountain God," Xiao Yuan greeted the Mountain God on the BMW floor, "We have caught those bandits!" I'll send them to the government tomorrow! ”

"The gods are really smart and icy, these people are indeed local bandits," the mountain god nodded, "They are fierce and evil, and they can be said to have lost their conscience!" ”

"Then why didn't the court suppress the bandits?" The big eyes of the little ingots were full of incomprehension.

"Where is the court not suppressing bandits, it's that this county commander is not good at leading troops, and he has failed twice to suppress bandits in the mountains before, causing public resentment to boil! The yamen also took out a lot of silver, and it was only then that the matter was settled. The mountain god sighed.

"Then does he still want to continue to suppress bandits?" Little Ingot asked.

"Thinking about it day and night."

"Then he's such a good guy!"

"God, good people and bad people can't be so easily decided, and you will understand later." The mountain god stretched out his hand and lovingly touched the little ingot's head.

"Oh, I know, then I must study and observe more!" Xiao Yuanbao nodded kindly, "But I think the county magistrate did the right thing!" These bandits are so hateful! They want to kill my whole family and burn the whole village! Bandit suppression is the right thing to do! ”

"I'm willing to help the gods." The mountain god said in a deep voice.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Little Ingot immediately asked.

"Whether it is the difficulty of the previous county commander to suppress bandits, or the return of this county commander, in the final analysis, it is a problem, they don't know the path up the mountain, let alone the tunnel leading to the mountain, from the road that resists natural dangers, they will suffer heavy casualties all the way! I am the local mountain god, I know everything about the local area, I know everything. ”

The little ingots listened very carefully.

"There is a post of fifty steps on the main road, and the defense is tight; There is a post on the road of 500 steps, and the defense is a little negligent, but after all, there are people to defend! It's not the same in the tunnel! Except for the three masters on the mountain, no one knows about the existence of the tunnel! Therefore, there is no one to defend in the tunnel, and we can lead the officers and soldiers up the mountain from the tunnel and take them by surprise! ”

"Where does the tunnel lead?" Little Ingot asked curiously.

"The tunnel leads to the big boss's room, and the wooden bed on top is the big boss! We can come by surprise! The mountain god said solemnly.

"That's a great idea!" Xiao Yuanbao clapped his hands happily, "Grandpa Mountain God, thank you so much, you are calling this for the people!" ”

"It's the gods who have a heart, and I'm willing to help the gods." The mountain god is colorful.

He knew that the current county order of Putuo County was a good person, and he had the intention to suppress bandits, so why didn't he give him a dream in the middle of the night?

Why didn't he give him a map of the tunnels going up the mountain in his dream?

Because, the division has a book, and every mortal has a number.

Immortals cannot interfere in the lives of mortals at will, otherwise they will be tainted with the cause and effect of reincarnation.

This is a big taboo for the gods, and they will be punished by heaven!

But small ingots are different!

She is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Treasure Divine Venerable!

The dignified incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, the Emperor of Heaven respects her for three points, naturally she is not an ordinary mortal!

Help her not to be contaminated with cause and effect!

This is also the reason why the gods are willing to help her with all their hearts.

"Tomorrow, I'll use a spell to conjure up a map of the tunnels that will go up the mountain, and hide it on the thief with a big scar on his forehead, and the map will be in the pocket of his clothes. When the time comes, you will find a way to have people search for his clothes. The mountain god continued.

The bandit with a big scar on his forehead is the fierce Liu Laohu.

Little ingots remember him!

"I know, thank you Grandpa Mountain God!" Xiao Yuanbao bowed to the mountain god and said with great gratitude, "I'll burn incense for you when I come back!" Burn a lot of incense for you! ”

The mountain god touched his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yuanbao went to his husband's house early to take leave, and then followed his family to the county office.

Li Zheng stepped forward and explained the situation to the prefectural magistrate.

The prefectural magistrate's expression was very serious.

He has hated these bandits for a long time!

He wants to get rid of all these murderous beasts!

Show his life's ambition!

Protect the peace of the people of this township!

At the same time, it also washed away the shame and shame since he took office!

He took this matter very seriously and immediately opened the church.

When the people outside heard that there were bandits to see, they gathered outside the public hall one after another, stretching their necks curiously.

For a time, people outside the court were crowded.

The county order asked the officials to loosen their ties and pull out the rags that were stuffed in their mouths.

The blood of several of them was not smooth in their bodies, and even their movements were a little unstable.

"My lord! My lord! I'm going to sue them! I'm going to sue them for illegal detention! Liu Laohu opened his mouth and shouted, "Let them sit in prison!" Let them confess their sins! ”

"Your Excellency! We are not illegally detained! They're bandits! Broke into our house last night! ”

"They brought knives last night, and I don't know what they were going to do! We subdued them for self-preservation! ”

"My lord, we didn't know them before! And we are law-abiding rednecks, and we can't do anything about illegal detention! ”

……

The people of the Jin family said one after another.

The county magistrate didn't expect this to happen, and they made a little messy.

"My lord, we are foreigners, and they kidnapped us! And slandered us as bandits! How can their hearts be so bad! Liu Laohu shouted, "For such a person, as the parent official of a county, shouldn't you be punished severely?" Where is this peace? ”

"You say they're bad people, so why are they kidnapping you?" The prefectural commander asked suspiciously.

Liu Laohu quibbled angrily: "How do I know!

"My brothers and I passed through this little village last night, and we wanted to go to their house to ask for something to eat, and then spend the night overnight!

"Xu is our eyes rolled, and we saw that their family had a lot of money! They think we're the bad guys!

"Speaking of which, it's all a misunderstanding, but they're too hateful! He actually slandered us as bandits, beat up us honest people, tied us up, and sent us to the county office! ”

"Is this a misunderstanding?" Lord Prefectural Commander frowned.

"My lord, in the middle of the night last year, we sent them to Lizheng's house, and many villagers came to see the excitement, and he admitted in public yesterday that he was a bandit! He also said that he would kill our whole family and set fire to our village! Jin Saburo said.

"I didn't say that, you're spewing blood!" Liu Laohu flatly denied it.

"Everyone in the village heard it!" Kim Saburo retorted loudly.

"Yes, I heard you!"

"I heard it too!"

"I can hear you clearly!"

……

Outside the public hall, the villagers who came to see the excitement said one after another.

Li Zheng also said: "I vouch in the name of Li Zheng, he did say this last night, if I tell a lie, let the court remove me from my position of Li Zheng." ”

"You're fellow with them! Of course you spoke for him! Your words are not to be believed! Liu Laohu shouted loudly.

"We're good people anyway!" Zhou Pingwei said.

"It's all a misunderstanding!" Chen Fugui said.

"Please let us go and punish these people!" Zhang Kuaishou said.

The Jin family was sweating profusely, and they thought that the matter of covering the coffin was conclusive, but they did not expect that they would be bitten back by the other party.

They are in a hurry, they are not calm, they don't think of a rebuttal for the time being.

Only Xiao Yuanbao didn't rush up, she looked at the county magistrate curiously, and then looked at the bandits.

The prefectural magistrate was attracted to her attention.

This kid is so cute, and he doesn't know how to be afraid, it's so special!

"What are you looking at?" When the county magistrate spoke to her, he even softened his tone.

"I'm looking at an adult's face!" Little Ingot said loudly.

"You kid!" Aunt Jin hurriedly pulled her and said in horror, "Be polite to adults!" ”

"It's okay," the prefectural commander waved his hand and reached out to touch his face, "What are you doing with my face?" Do I have rice sticky on my face? ”

"No," Xiao Yuanbao shook his head, his big eyes were clear, dark and transparent, and he looked very beautiful, "The adult's face is so clean!" ”

"Hahahaha." The prefectural magistrate laughed.

"Then why aren't their faces clean?" The little ingots tilted their heads, and that look can really make people's hearts sprout.

"How is it that their faces are not clean?" The prefectural magistrate then asked.

"You see, he has a very thick scar on his forehead, and it is so long," the little ingots pointed to Liu Laohu, "and the other person also has a long scar on his chin; And this guy, wow, his finger is half broken, doesn't he hurt? Oh, and the scar on this man's arm is scary like a centipede! Adults, they all say that everyone loves beauty, so why don't they love beauty? ”

These words alerted the county magistrate.

The prefectural commander immediately said, "Come on, peel off their shirts and check if there are any other scars on their bodies!" ”

Several officials immediately stepped forward and stripped off their shirts in three strikes and five divisions.

Under the clothes, there are scars all over the place, and it looks very hideous.

"It's a bandit!"

"It must be a bandit!"

"This little girl is so smart!"

……

The people outside said one after another.

The Jin family breathed a sigh of relief.

They were so anxious that they lost their minds.

In fact, as long as they are given a little more time, after they calm down, they may not be able to think of rebuttals.

Or the little ingots are smart!

Or a small ingot, calm down!

Small ingots can make great things!

"My lord, scars don't prove anything," Liu Laohu's eyes rolled, "We are veterans who have retired from the battlefield!" We've been on the battlefield and we've killed the enemy! So of course there will be a scar! They even slander the veterans who protect the country, how vicious they are! is the most diaotic people in the world! Not punishing is not enough to correct the people's morals! ”

There were some people outside who didn't know the truth, and they really condemned the Jin family.

"That's too much!"

"Even veterans have to be slandered!"

"This is too unconscionable!"

"If there were no veterans to defend our families and defend the country, we would have been looted and burned to death by Hu Lu!"

"Phew! This family is really disgraceful! People just looked at the layout of their house, what's wrong? Does their family have a fortune to inherit? ”

"Being so nervous about their own money means that their family's money is likely to come from the wrong way, and it's time for the county magistrate to check it out!"

……

"What do you have to say?" The prefectural magistrate looked at the Jin family.

"My lord, we have knives! Knives from them! Kim Saburo took out a cloth bag and poured out a few knives from it.

"This isn't our knife!" Liu Laohu said categorically.

"I searched it in front of the villagers!" Jin Saburo shouted injustice.

"You stuffed it on us first!" Liu Laohu's voice is bigger than him.

"Yes, yes, yes." The other three bandits shouted.

For a while, the public said that the public was reasonable, the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the court became a pot of porridge!

"Silence! Quiet! Quiet! The county magistrate knocked on the shocking wood hard, and then looked at the Jin family, "How can you prove that this is not your family's knife?" ”

"What are we buying knives for?" Kim Saburo was aggrieved.

"So, you can't prove that it's not your knife?" Lord Prefectural Commander frowned.

"The Jin family doesn't look like a knife buyer!"

"The people in their family are very good, they are all honest people!"

"What do they buy knives for, and there are still several of them at a time!"

……

The villagers of Longwang Village, who were standing outside the public hall, spoke for the Jin family one after another.

"As the old saying goes, it is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and draw the bones, and you don't know the heart of the person and the face!" Liu Laohu sneered, "They said they didn't buy a knife, so they didn't buy a knife!" Like this kind of Diao people, the most hateful, usually in the village to do an honest look, in fact, the light is a fire, the secret is a knife! They don't know how dark and vicious they are! Maybe they bought these knives to do some untold black things! ”

"What can we do?" Kim Saburo asked.

"That's up to you! Punish them, Lord Prefectural! ”

The prefectural magistrate looked hesitant.

For a time, the situation was very unfavorable for the Jin family.

Xiao Yuanbao looked at the Jin family, then at the county magistrate, and then at a few more thieves, and let out a "huh".

Everyone's eyes fell on this bold child again.

"Little girl, what do you have any doubts?" The prefectural magistrate is very patient and loving to the child, and he also has a lovely little daughter.

Moreover, he is at home, and he loves his daughter but not his son.

The son is naughty and mischievous as a whole, and he is a stinky boy.

"My lord, has anyone told you to listen to you...... Not...... Bit of a stretch, huh? Little Ingot asked curiously.

The county magistrate was a little embarrassed, and reached out and touched his nose: "Cough, this official is not a local, although he is particular about it, and he can speak official dialect very well, but usually, it is inevitable to have a little hometown accent when speaking official dialect." ”

Of course, the people in the yamen are also used to listening.

There is an order in this dynasty that officials born in the place of household registration cannot be local officials.

In order to prevent local officials and businessmen from colluding and forming forces, fish and meat in the township, but these are too deep, and it is impossible for the county magistrate to explain to Xiao Yuanbao.

Explained, she may not understand!

"My lord, did they come from far away? Don't the people here know them? Xiao Yuanbao looked at the county magistrate, and then at a few bandits.

"Are you from far away? Doesn't anyone here know you? The county commander asked the bandits.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The bandits nodded repeatedly.

They thought to themselves, as long as they were far enough, this skull-cutting fart officer would not be able to confirm their identity!

"I once went to the county with my fourth brother, and there was a guy brother in the restaurant who talked to me, and I had a hard time listening, he was not from the same township as us. I asked the fourth brother, and the fourth brother told me that the sound was different for ten miles. ”

Xiao Yuan Bao pointed out the key, and everyone understood it at once.

"They're not outsiders! They are definitely not out-of-towners! ”

"There's one guy with a bit of a familiar accent! It's the accent of Huaihua Township! ”

"I can also hear it, it is indeed the accent of Huaihua Township, Putuo County! Their hometown is not far from ours, and the accent is very close to us! ”

"The other person is the accent of Jiudong Township!"

"The remaining two people have the accents of Stone Tablet Township! All four of them are from this county! ”

……

The people outside the public hall shouted one after another.

Their first lie was thus exposed.

"Well, even if we're locals! But we are indeed good men who have defended the country! Isn't it tearful that they bully heroes like this? Liu Laohu shouted, "Among you, there must be some relatives who have joined the army, and there must be relatives who have been injured and killed on the battlefield. Don't you be sad and don't shed tears? ”

People outside the court were moved by compassion.

"If they are really veterans who have retired from the battlefield, this family is too much."

"Yes, we let the heroes shed blood on the battlefield, do we want them to shed tears in their hometown?"

"It's too much! We should turn to them! ”

……

As if their previous lies, it doesn't matter.

The common people were led astray by the cunning Liu Laohu again!

"If you don't believe it, you can take out the previous army registration book from the treasury, and we will sign up! Adults just check! Let's see if we're veterans of the old army! Liu Laohu shouted again.

"Yes, yes, yes! We can sign up! ”

"We're going to sign up!"

"We're going to sign up!"

The other three bandits also reacted and shouted one after another.

Generally speaking, when the people go to court, the county commander is shocked, and the first sentence must be who is in the hall?

However, today Liu Laohu and they took the lead!

As soon as they come in, they cry out for injustice!

As soon as they came in, they deflected the whole thing!

So the prefectural lord didn't know their real names until now!

Liu Laohu is a cunning and powerful person, and all the rhythms are firmly in his hands.

Although there is a variable of small ingots in the middle, the little ingots do nothing else, and specifically disrupt the rhythm!

The county magistrate instructed the master to take people to the treasury.

In a short time, they brought in a lot of books.

Liu Laohu reported a fake name, this person is a fellow villager with him, and he has indeed joined the army.

The other three perfectly understood his intentions, and also reported several false names, impersonating several other people who had joined the army.

For a while, the Jin family couldn't speak clearly!

This matter seems to be closed, and it is indeed they who slander good people.

The county magistrate raised the startling wood and opened his mouth to speak, but saw the little ingots grinning, revealing two cute millet teeth, and then, she raised her hand high: "My lord, I have also joined the army!" ”

The audience burst into laughter.

The county magistrate put down his surprise and smiled helplessly: "There are no regulations for women to join the army in this dynasty, not to mention, you are so young, where can you join the army?" ”

"Then I can be Uncle Zeng Dashan, Uncle Xu Mingming, and Uncle Zhou Kang of our village...... They are all registered in the books of joining the army! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

The county magistrate patted the shocked wood, looked at the bandits, and said loudly: "Someone! Find the township chiefs of Huaihua Township, Jiudong Township, Shibei Township and all Lizheng! Let them recognize people on the spot and see if they have lied or impersonated! ”

As soon as these words came out, several bandits immediately panicked.

Except for Liu Laohu, who was still pretending to be calm, several other people broke out in a cold sweat.

A group of officials received their tasks and dispersed.

Two hours later, the township chiefs and Li Zheng of the three townships came.

Zhang Kuaishou was the first to be recognized, he was a famous local thief!

He often steals things, and once, in the middle of the night, he accidentally stumbled, and woke up a family, and he got into a fight with the other family.

In the confusion, he grabbed a sharp pair of scissors and plunged them into the old man's chest.

He didn't know whether the old man was dead or alive, and he was so frightened that he fled all night.

The county government sent people to search the mountains for seven days, and also went to the streets to post notices everywhere, but in the end they could not find anyone.

This matter can only be stopped.

That was 10 years ago, though.

How many people still remember?

Li Zheng remembers Zhang Kuaishou's face!

Because as a local one-mile leader, he knows everyone under his rule!

He said Zhang Kuaishou's crime, and the county magistrate immediately asked people to search the file ten years ago, and pulled out Zhang Kuaishou's portrait from the file.

The characters on the portrait are seventy or eighty percent similar to Zhang Kuaishou himself.

It's him, no doubt!

Then, Li Zheng from other townships recognized the remaining three thieves one after another.

They all sinned!
