Chapter 48: Discerning the Bandits
Jiao Er was taken back to the county office, after interrogation, all confessions, recorded by the secretary, signed by him, Jiao Er because of greed for money, murdered for money, caused a family tragedy, was beaten with a cane eighty, and sent to the frontier.
Because considering that the Jiao family had no queen, he left a life, and left the Jiao family behind, and was not sentenced to death. Needless to say, the relationship between the Jiao family and the emperor was a hit when Fu Ying handled the case, so that they all knew Fu Ying's prestige.
Fu Ying is well-known in the old estuary. The emperor knew about the case he handled, was very satisfied, and was ready to promote him, considering that Lao Hekou still needed him to help manage for a period of time, so he put the plan on hold for the time being.
One day, Fu Ying had nothing to do and wanted to go to Gucheng, a neighboring county. I heard that Gucheng has famous mountains and rivers. The mountains are colorful, the water is sound, it is really a good place to go.
He took two people, one is a scholar, the other is a fast catcher, one is a writer and one martial arts, a group of three people, after dinner to wander outside the city, after the meal to walk, can live ninety-nine.
He understands this, if you want to be an official for a long time and eventually reach the peak, you must have a good body. Like Sima Yi, boil, boil, boil, in the end, the world changed from Cao to Sima, this is the result of boiling, as long as you can survive, you will win in the end. Of course, he doesn't have any big ambitions, as long as he can survive and see all the bad guys die and the good guys live, that's victory.
His master Bu Huishu is also like this, he has no intention of arguing, he reads the books of sages and sages hard, and does not listen to things outside the window. However, his master is well-versed in the past and the present, astronomy and geography, omniscient, or well-read, not sloppy at all, not slacking off at all, such a teacher is hard to find in the world, I heard that Bu Hui is a book has become the teacher of today, is the emperor's teacher, this is a great thing. Even if he is not an official, as long as he is the emperor's teacher, he is better than anything else. Even the emperor is his student, and it makes me tremble when I think about it.
He walked slowly outside the city, walked around the lotus weir on the outskirts of the city, looked at the lotus flowers, and blew the breeze, which was also pleasant. In a good mood.
In the boundary of Gucheng, it is different from the old estuary, the style is very different, there are not many mountains in the old estuary, there are many mountains in Gucheng, there are mountains and colors, there is water to listen to the sound, match each other, but also interesting.
If you retire, buy a piece of land in Gucheng and build a thatched house, but you are also at ease. This is also Bu Huishu's dream. But now I still have the energy to continue to serve everyone, so I can't rest now.
Suddenly, a group of people came in front of them, and people who were walking avoided them, and some gathered around to see the excitement. Some people want to see it, but they don't dare to come, so they stretch their necks from a distance to see it, which is very funny.
This group of people are all dressed in black and black hats, looking like a large black cloud floating from a distance from a distance, and when they got closer, Fu Ying found that there were two strong men in black carrying a door panel, covered with a quilt with flowers, and the quilt was nothing unusual, it was the common kind, it was blue and white on a white background, like a glazed pattern of ceramics, not like an ordinary quilt. The quilts of ordinary people are red and yellow, which looks more festive. This one looks more elegant and unobtrusive, but it is very noticeable.
There was a woman on the door panel, with a cloak and a disheveled hair, like a seriously ill person, this woman was smeared with rouge, and her face was powdered, not like an ordinary woman from a good family, nor was she a daughter of a large family, this woman did not look terminally ill, but as if she was suddenly ill in a hurry.
This group of people was in a hurry, regardless of the strange eyes of the people around them, and regardless of the discussions of others, they were just in a hurry, as if they were giving it to Lang Zhong, who urgently needed treatment, or was about to die, and needed to be rescued.
The woman's hair was scattered, but there was a faint phoenix hairpin on her head, which looked obvious.
This phoenix hairpin does not look like it is used by ordinary women, it looks very rare, it is a high-end kind, like a golden hairpin, with gems embedded in it, it looks shiny, and it is extraordinary at a glance.
I saw the sick woman lying on her side, constantly screaming, as if she was in great pain, fighting the disease. There are two strong men on the side, a strong man with a door lifter, a total of six, and the strong man next to him uses his hands to fold the quilt from time to time, as if he is afraid that the quilt will fall. It is also like the wind blowing into the quilt, and I am afraid that the patient will suffer from the wind and cold, which will aggravate the condition.
Two strong men carried the door panel, sweating profusely, their heads were covered with beads of sweat, and they kept dripping down, walking and walking, and they couldn't do it, saying: "No, no, fast, fast, fast, take a hand, change people, change people!" ”
As soon as the strong man who lifted the door panel called, one on the side began to take over, and continued to carry the door panel forward, trotting all the way. It looked like it was not a woman carrying a large boulder on the door.
The group hurried through the crowd, as if there was a lot going on, and they walked in a very funny way, as if they were selling coolies, leaning forward with all their might, and their steps were not large, but they staggered.
His shoulders were also dangling, and he looked very uncomfortable.
These scenes made Fu Ying feel strange, with his experience, there was a problem with this, what was the problem? He can't say it now, he needs to know more.
As an ordinary person, he won't pay attention to these details, just because Fu Ying is the county magistrate of Laohekou, this has to be taken seriously, because he is Laohekou's parent official, so he has to worry about it, and he has to pay attention to everything suspicious.
It was inconvenient for him to come forward, for fear that someone in the crowd would know, so he asked Shuli to inquire about it.
"May I ask the strong man, who is carrying it on the door panel?"
"Less nonsense, nothing to get out of the way. On the door panel is my sister, who is suddenly ill and wants to go to see Lang Zhong, and will be sent to her mother-in-law's house first, what's wrong? What's in your way? It's okay to get out of the way! One of the strong men in black replied, looking very disdainful.
Fu Ying listened to Shuli's words and felt that there must be something wrong here, but she was not sure and needed to understand further, so she said to Zhu Kuai: "You go, follow them, follow them from afar, don't let them find you, and don't lose them, come back and tell me what you see, and see where they carry the woman to?" With whom to connect? What are you going to do? It depends on the surroundings. Tell me what you see, go, go, they're gone. ”
Catch fast and keep up immediately, walk fast like the wind, can't run, for fear of arousing suspicion, the strong men in black are very fast, they seem to be worried about being caught up, catch fast obey Fu Ying's county order, and don't dare to chase hard, just bite tightly, not far or close, pay attention to concealment, don't let the strong man find out, and can't lose it. Fortunately, I have some skills and skills in catching fast, and I usually train enough, and I can use it at critical times.
When those people arrived at the door of a house, they buckled the door twice, and the door opened with a "creak".
Two men came out of it, also dressed in black, wearing black turbans, seeing that it was them, without saying a word, they let them carry the door panel in, the man in black who opened the door poked his head out, looked around, and immediately retracted his head, hiding himself, only listening to the door "squeak", and then "clang", slammed it shut, caught a quick look, so thick, not like a poor family's house, the sound of closing the door is different.
Seeing all this, he didn't dare to stay, so he immediately turned back, returned to Fu Ying, and explained the situation to Fu Ying one by one.
After Fu Ying listened, she nodded and said, "Hard work!" ”
Then, he thought to himself, there must be something wrong here, there are many doubts.
Maybe those people weren't good.
Half of Gucheng is a mountain, and the mountain hides some evildoers, who usually commit crimes, but retreat into the mountain, which makes it difficult to capture. Maybe there are bad guys in that group, and bad guys come from all over the world, including some from his jurisdiction, of course. Even if they commit crimes in the jurisdiction, they will also flee to the mountains to avoid arrest, and this possibility cannot be ruled out.
Fu Ying brought few people, if you want to arrest these people, you need the assistance of the local county government, and also, these people are all in Gucheng County, you still need to say hello to the Gucheng County Order, or directly let the Gucheng County Order operate and arrest the bad guys.
Thinking of this, Fu Ying took Shuli and Yu Kuai to the Yamen of Gucheng County.
The name of the county magistrate of Gucheng County is Wu Zhi'an.
Wu Xian Ling was overjoyed when he saw his colleagues from Laohekou in neighboring counties visiting, and went out to greet him, saying: "I have admired the name for a long time, and it is like thunder. ”
"Where, where! It's just a waste of fame, nothing in his life, and still idle and idle, isn't this a tooth sacrifice for you? Fu Ying said.
"Don't say, no wonder, you are a protégé of Lord Bu in the capital, a disciple of the closed door, a proud apprentice, there is really a famous teacher and a famous apprentice, you have an extraordinary shot, you have solved a big case, and you have alarmed the government and the opposition, which is admirable!" Wu Zhian said.
"Awards, awards. Master Bu is very famous, I'm just learning a little bit of skin, I'm not a proud protégé of Master Bu, I'm embarrassed for him! Fu Ying said.
"You are so modest! What a humble man with a great future. Wu Zhian said.
"After all, laugh and laugh, I didn't come because of anything else. There are good mountains and rivers in Gucheng, which attracts me to come and see. Fu Ying said with a smile.
"Dude is really Yaxing! There are poor mountains and bad rivers here, what is there to see? It's just a flower inside the wall and a fragrance outside the wall. As for me, I don't have any hobbies, I just stick to it until I retire. ”
"It's the same as my idea, we are in this place, we can govern well, just survive until retirement, and if we want to go up, this is not realistic. It's better to settle down and be at peace with your encounter. Fu Ying said, "If it weren't for this, if I had time, I would go to the capital to run for officials, who would come to visit the mountains and rivers?" ”
"That's right. It's good to know what your life is, and you can't disobey it. Wu Zhian said.
"Yes, yes, yes, I came to play today, and I found a strange thing on the way, I don't know if to talk about it?" Fu Ying asked.
"Say, when you speak, why shouldn't you speak? Dude has something to say. You're welcome! Wu Zhian said.
"The local governance of Gucheng is good, this is your credit, but what I found today is particularly strange, that is, before inquiring about this matter, ask if it is true?" Fu Ying asked.
"Dude, just say anything, I'm a rough person, I don't like to beat around the bush, just say what I have to say, don't estimate my face." Wu Zhian said.
"Well, when I was at the mouth of the old river, someone reminded me to be careful of the bandits on the other side of the valley city, if the thieves came down the mountain to the old estuary, the old estuary might suffer. I just took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously. I came here to play, and I didn't plan to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt. If there is, say that there is, if not, it is just a rumor, and it is better not to believe it. Fu Ying said.
Hearing this, Wu Zhi'an's face was blue and white and red, which made him very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak.
Fu Ying saw that Wu Zhi'an had nothing to say, knowing that it was unspeakable, and it was inconvenient to ask, so she said: "If someone comes to Laohekou to commit a crime, this county order will definitely arrest it, I hope that when there are thieves to be caught, please cooperate, provide help, catch them, and take them to Laohekou for interrogation, this is no problem, right?" ”
"No problem, no problem! The elder brother needs help, the foolish brother must serve, please order at any time, the foolish brother immediately took action, asked someone to give people, asked for tools to give tools, and full assistance was not a problem. Wu Zhian said.
"When I say that, I'm relieved. I came today, I didn't bring any gifts, this is a little meaning, and I hope to smile! Fu Ying said, took out a fan casually, and said: "This is what I found in the antique shop, it is said to be an ancient thing, the value is not expensive, but it is also exquisite, specially bought to play, there is nothing to give, this fan matches the Wu County Order, if you don't dislike it, please accept it." ”
"What's that? Don't dislike, don't dislike. Wu Zhian said, and quickly accepted it, for fear that Fu Ying would regret it and go back.
He took the fan, there is no taboo, because he already has a son, and he is afraid that he will not succeed?
Then, Fu Ying gave her leave.
Back at the pavilion, Fu Ying thought to herself, Wu Zhian is afraid of ugliness, the more he is afraid of ugliness, the more ugly he is. There are already thieves in this place, you can't avoid it, you can't cover it up, you can't cover it up, paper can't contain the fire after all, you still have to treat it head-on.
He arranged to catch the people quickly, disguised himself as a common man, and went to the outside of the city to investigate and secretly visit, wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and the locals were not afraid to leak their mouths. I feel that they are all ordinary people, they are all the same identity, and they will not go to prison if they say the wrong thing, and besides, they are telling the truth, not lying, and not attacking Wu Zhian, so there is no need to worry.
When he arrived at a village, he found that there was a family next to an ancient cypress tree, and the family was at the door, squatting at the base of the wall and crying. ”
As soon as the family saw that he was an ordinary person, he turned away, ignored him, and continued to cry.
"You're a big man, and you still run outside to cry, aren't you ashamed?" Catch it quickly.
As soon as the family saw that this guy was choking on words, he stood up, stretched out his hand to catch fast, caught fast, quick eyes and quick hands, dodged his fist, twisted his arm, and he screamed in pain.
"How unlucky I am! Being bullied by the master at home, and being bullied by the people outside is really lifeless! When he cried, he was about to touch his head against the wall, and as soon as he was caught, he took three steps back and sat down on the ground, and began to cry again.
