Bao Fa asked his brother. He was silent.

Jin Shan knew that he was righteous in the rivers and lakes, and he would not say anything if he was killed. So he came up with a plan, wanting to let the members of the gangsters come from the net, catch them all, and eliminate all the evil.

"Okay, you go down first. You're doing well this time! No need to hit the board. Jin Shan said.

Then, Jin Shan asked people to let go out, that is, to sentence Bao Fa to death, and prepare to be beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon three days later. And declared to the outside that in order to facilitate the beheading, he was put in a cage, dragged to the center of the execution ground, and displayed for three days, so that the people of the whole city could watch, in order to prevent the masses from killing Bao Fa to vent their anger, four people were sent to guard it 24 hours a day, and when the time came, four more people were replaced.

The news spread quickly, and many people knew that someone was going to be beheaded three days later, and when they inquired, it turned out to be the head of the Jiangyang bandits.

There are even rumors that the prisoner car has been in place and is ready to be beheaded.

Jin Shan's arrangement has been decided, just waiting for the net to be closed.

Besides, after hearing the news, the brothers of Baofa gathered at the second boss to discuss countermeasures.

"It's simple, generally speaking, the first day is the toughest defense, the second day is a little slack, the third morning, it will be stricter than the first day, and the best time is the second night." Bandit Jia said.

"Then let's send someone to step on the spot tonight, see the situation, make a plan, and then take action." Bandit Yi said.

"Only by getting the boss out will we be safe. Besides, we are brothers who were born and died, we can't see death without saving, great, saved the boss, let's go back to the old business, and still make a living on Mirror Lake. Bandit Bingyan said.

"That's good! Getting the boss out first is key. Then, you take a few people in charge to investigate, look at the terrain, check if there is an ambush, figure out the escape route, and get the information back, let's plan and make two sets of plans, quickly, without further ado. Be fast, fast can win, slow is not good for us. The second master said.

"This operation is dangerous, I suggest that everyone write a will, if you can get out of the way, people are fine, there are no casualties, you can tear up the will, if the fire is extinguished, follow the will, let the living brothers give a proper arrangement." He added.

The second boss has a good relationship with the bandit leader, the bandit leader does not treat him badly, he is a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, he crawls out of the pile of dead people, his life is hard, and if he survives, he must strive to live better.

They help each other and know that this is the point of no return, but it is not possible not to do it, everything else is appropriate, only to take this path.

When I joined the gang, I said that there are difficulties and blessings, and now the eldest brother is in trouble, and he can't see death without help, this is the first important rule on the rivers and lakes, otherwise, he is not a hero in the rivers and lakes, but a rabble. They still talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes, and the so-called thieves also have a way, probably this is the truth.

After discussing here, they set to action.

The bandit leader is still very nervous, he knows that the brothers who joined the gang are now washing their hands in gold, and they don't do the business of killing people and overstepping goods, but he didn't expect his retribution to come, he was arrested, he didn't expect to confess his brother, he just wanted to die quickly, if he died, he could protect other brothers. That is also a well-deserved death, and if he does not die, but drags down the other brothers, then it is considered a great sin.

Jin Shan arranged for people to load Bao Fa into a prisoner's car, and in a cage, wearing shackles, and locked in a cage made of thick wood at the mouth of the bowl, he was only given water to drink, not food, anyway, the person who was going to die would eat the last good meal on the last day, so that he could be sent on his way. These two days are still life-sustaining, not to be fed well, and not to starve to death. Fortunately, Bao Fa usually eats and drinks very well, pays attention to nutrition, and has a solid body, so he will not weaken quickly.

The person who went to investigate came back, and after meeting, he told him about the situation.

Basically, there are twelve people, four in a class, a total of three classes, a shift of eight hours, four people, and when they get to the point, they will be replaced, and there will be no one else. There is no place to ambush around, it is a vegetable market, the place is empty, not to mention people, even a rabbit, you can see it clearly, it is exhibited here, it is a picture of many people here, bustling, and beautiful to behead.

They discussed the action on the second night, took the escape route by water, prepared the boat directly, and after saving the boss, they went directly to the boat, and when they arrived at Jinghu, it was equivalent to the dragon king to the sea, and he could no longer catch it.

No matter how good the officers and soldiers are, when they reach the water, they can only stare dryly, just like a strong ox falling into a dry well, no matter how strong they are, they can't use it.

The first day was fine.

The next day, all the bandits went into battle, prepared their boats, and then went to the vegetable market, used bows and arrows to solve the four errand soldiers, cut down the fence and cage with a plate axe, rescued the boss Bao Fa, cut off the shackles, and was about to leave. Suddenly, the flames flared up, and countless black shadows came out of the ground, holding torches aloft and shouting in unison, "Catch the thief!" ”

The bandits never expected that there were so many people underground, walking over, why didn't there be any movement, and they didn't step on people, what kind of operation is this?

There was no time to think about it, the bandits and the officers and soldiers fought together, the bandit leader and the second-in-command and the three or two brothers fought their way out of the encirclement, and the other brothers were surrounded by officers and soldiers, and they were not allowed to get out, and they were tied with ropes, and the knives were held on their necks and did not dare to move again, and they were captured one by one.

Besides, Bao Fa and the other five people fought and retreated, and when they arrived at the river, they saw two boats anchored on the shore, and just about to get on the boat, a person came out of the boat, and the torches were lit, shining like day.

"Friend, I've been waiting here for a long time!" One person laughed, bowed his hand, and said to Bao Fa.

Bao Fa saw that it was none other than Jin Shan.

Bao Fa was just about to say something, his neck was cold, and the five people were all carrying bright knives around their necks, if they moved, it was estimated that their heads would move, and none of them dared to move.

"Spare your life!" Bao Fa shouted, "Brothers, don't resist, surrender!" ”

Bao Fa still considered the safety of the brothers, so he hurriedly announced his surrender, he did not want the brothers to die. may not have been engaged in this industry for a long time, a little rusty, before they got to the water, before they got on the boat, they were captured alive, and it seems that once they leave Jinghu, they will never go back. And so it is!

"Bring all the prisoners back to the county government and put them on death row." Jin Shan commanded.

It turned out that Jin Shan used a strategy, that is, to use the bandit leader Bao Fa as bait and announced that he was ready to execute, Jin Shan was convinced that his brother would not rob the law field, and would definitely get the bandit leader away, so he nailed the cage, locked Bao Fa in the cage, and then put it in an open place to attract his accomplices to steal. In an open place, where there are no houses to ambush, they dig pits in the ground, cover them with planks, and sprinkle some earth on them, so that nothing can be seen from the outside, no organs can be seen, and no one is there, which will encourage courage. Dare to do whatever you want, the purpose of this trip is to catch all the Jiangyang thieves.

It seems that this method has worked.

Jin Shan arranged two places early, one is the execution ground, which is also the vegetable market, and the other is the riverside. The former is the place where the first to rescue the bandits out of the cage, save people, there must be a fight, can not escape, capture on the spot, if you escape, you will definitely go to the lake to get on the boat and escape, because in the water, just like a turtle escapes, desperately drill into the water, want to catch, it is not so easy. When the time comes, the turtle will be faster than expected, and its movements will be very fast and agile.

Bao Fa and his gang really hit the plan. escaped from the encirclement, but still failed to get on the ship, and was caught in a net. Since then, there have been no bandits in Jinghu, and the Dengcheng County Order has made a first-class contribution.

Bao Fa was sentenced to death, Ling Chi was executed, and others, the second master was also sentenced to death, beheaded, and the third master was sentenced to death and hanged. The other thorns are three thousand miles away, and they are never allowed to return.

In addition to returning the looted property, the property of other criminals is also handled in this way, and those who can find the sufferer are returned, and those who cannot be found are not collected from the treasury, and the treasury is filled.

Jin Shan asked Mrs. Bao: "Would you like to remarry?" ”

When Mrs. Bao heard this, her face immediately turned red, and she whispered: "Thank you, Lord for avenging the grievances of the people's daughter, Bao Fa was executed by Ling Chi, which can be regarded as a consolation to the heavenly souls of my father and relatives." As for the marriage of the people's daughters, it is all up to the adults' arrangements. ”

Jin Shan understood, and no longer asked, this matter can't be busy, you have to find it slowly, the marriage matter, done in a hurry, there will definitely be endless troubles, it is better to match the bridge and let her decide for herself. Now that she is said to be married, she is also married for the second time, even if she is robbed by thieves, people's outdated thinking cannot be overtaken immediately, and it takes a process.

After Jin Shan finished handling these cases and reported to Dali Temple, Bu Huishu was very happy when he heard about it, and felt that Jin Shan was really his protégé. I can do great things in the future, but I still have to serve the emperor, at present, the emperor has a lot of troubles, and I can't solve them for a while, and it is very difficult to find a suitable way.

One day, Jin Shan was on duty at the county office, was reviewing official documents, fell asleep, drank some tea, was ignorant, there were too many official duties, it was just nerve-wracking.

He was about to read the idle book and didn't want to review it anymore, when suddenly two brocade-clothed guard envoys broke in from outside.

Jin Yiwei is a close confidant of the emperor, directly responsible to the emperor, and supervises officials who have reached a certain level. Low-level officials are not under the supervision of Jinyiwei.

Jin Shan looked at this, the origin is not small, dare not slack off, if it is to supervise himself, it means that his level is enough, just a small county order, it is estimated that the mouse drags the wooden shovel, the big head is behind, maybe he will be promoted, but it is very strange, even if he is promoted, he must have a holy decree, and he has a basis for promotion, and his heart is steady. However, before the holy decree of this promotion notice arrived, he was targeted by the Jinyi Guard, which was troublesome.

The guards are tall and short, and their images are very different, so Jin Shan has to wonder if this is from the imperial court? Could it be that there is no one in the court, send a disabled person over?

Jin Shan remained silent, he had already found the problem, so he didn't mention it for the time being. Let's see how these two living treasures perform.

Jin Shan said in his heart: "One, two, three, watch you start performing!" ”

Sure enough, the two whispered, "I am here to visit." ”

Jin Shan hurriedly gave up his seat and asked, "What's the matter?" But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

"Isn't it important that there are important things that affect the fate and future of officials in Deng Cheng? Hurry up and let the irrelevant people avoid it, let's go to the back hall to talk in detail. ”

As soon as Jin Shan saw it, he understood that this was blackmail, he saw through it and didn't say anything, at present, even if he called someone, he was afraid that he would be in a dangerous whirlpool and could lose his life at any time.

The three of them went to the back hall.

As soon as they arrived in the back hall, the second "Jinyi Guard" "whoosh" took out a short sword and stabbed it on the table.

"Bang"

On the table stood a short sword, the cold light flashed, and there were tassels and so on on the hilt of the short sword, which trembled with the trembling of the sword.

Jin Shan looked at it and knew that he had encountered a robber. If you want to survive, you have to do what the robbers say. Otherwise, it's dangerous. Jin Shan didn't want to put himself in danger, he had to get out, and he had to catch these two thieves.

"The important thing is to take the money."

"What money?" Jin Shan asked.

"Didn't you confiscate the money from Bao Fa? What's more? ”

"Oh, the money, it's already been handed in."

"Where's the delivery?"

"It went to the treasury. That's it when the verdict was made, and it was pulled away. ”

When the second envoy heard this, he was a little discouraged, but he immediately said sharply: "Even if you pay it, it will not be possible to pay it all." You still have it, take out the rest of the gold. ”

"It's gone. I can think of another way, though. Jin Shan said.

"Hurry up, take out 10,000 taels of gold to us, it'll be fine, if it's less than one tael, it will kill you!" The second messenger said.

When Jin Shan heard this, he understood in his heart that these two thieves were not small, and they dared to throw themselves into the net, and they didn't know that they didn't fall when they died, and they didn't know the pain.

Jin Shan is not in a hurry, it is better than a leisurely stroll, not humble or arrogant, not impatient, the more anxious the two thieves, the more weak the proof is, Jin Shan is not in a hurry, he will be flustered if he is anxious, and he is easy to fail if he is flustered, Jin Shan knows that this is the method taught by Bu Hui, the more calm he is, the more he has a way, and he will have enough wisdom to come out as long as possible.

He had a plan in his mind and said: "Two, Jin is not unreasonable, not ignorant of current affairs, the two came in a hurry, knowing that the county government Qingshui Yamen, finally cracked the Jiangyang robbery case, the stolen goods were confiscated and transported to the imperial court in the capital, if the two intercepted halfway, maybe there would be a harvest, now here, Jin Moumou is not a person who loves money, the two want to get gold, it can be seen that the two are also forced to do so, people will not take this extreme road until a certain time, I don't know if the two agree? ”

"That's right, it's still Jin Shan who knows current affairs, and I've long heard that Jin County's order understands people's hearts, and sure enough, we really want to get a sum of gold, and then go away and fly high."

"Jin Moumou understands, he must help the two of them get gold, but the 10,000 taels that the two said, that is, 1,000 catties, is indeed a lot, I'm afraid the two of them can't transport it, and the key is that it won't be enough for a while and a half, so why don't you reduce it by half?"

"What is half?" The tall and thin thief asked.

"Stupid, half is five thousand taels, which is equivalent to five hundred catties." Humpty Dumpty said, "Hempty Dumpty is a tall man, his head is starved of oxygen, and his blood supply is insufficient, and he can't even count this account." ”

"Don't talk about me, dead fatty, you are a short man, you have a heart, quick, let's stop bickering, but do you agree to Jin Shan's plan?" Said the tall and thin man.

"This, this, how many pounds can you pick?" Humpty Dumpty asked.

"Me? Up to a hundred pounds. The tall and thin man said.

"Well, I'm pretty much the same, so let's do it, it's just five thousand taels of gold, and it can't be less, one tael less will kill you." Humpty Dumpty said viciously.
