Before the interrogation was over, Tang Shunzhi asked the fake widow to continue.

The man said: "After we committed a crime in Nanxun, we robbed those rich families, and we originally wanted to come, so we simply robbed all the rich families in Nanxun with one shot." But ......"

"But the man in charge, named Ono Yoshibei, stopped us and said that he would leave immediately!"

"At that time, there were still a few brothers who objected, and he slashed one to death with a single knife, and everyone became too frightened to speak, and returned to Taihu Lake Village overnight!"

Tang Shunzhi said, sure enough, these gangs of robbers have a purpose, not just robbery!

The Shen family really made a good calculation and pushed the matter on the head of the widow, and no one would think much about it.

Then he asked, "What happened when I returned to the water village?" Let's talk about it! ”

"After we returned to the water village, we were originally dividing the property we grabbed today, but at this time, Ono Yoshibei was called out."

"Who is it?" Tang Shunzhi hurriedly asked.

The man shook his head: "I don't know, the black light is blind, they stand far away, they can't hear!" I can't see anyone clearly! But ......"

Tang Shun was overjoyed: "But what? ”

"But that man is not dressed like a bandit's short fight, but like their second master, wearing a scholar's robe!"

Hearing this, Xu He, who was hiding behind, said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, in the middle of the night, this Weng Zhengchun is looking for that Ono Jibei alone, and he must want to avoid Liang Qiao and do something unseemly." ”

At this time, the fake widow said: "The next day, Ono Yoshibei took some people out on a trip, and then several of his brothers disappeared, and a few were injured. ”

When Tang Shunzhi heard this, he knew that what this person said was Qin Lie's return to the village to take revenge.

A pair of time, as expected.

Tang Shunzhi then asked: "Then what?" ”

"And then ......," the fake widow's expression suddenly became strange: "Then suddenly the people in the village were like crazy, and they were all over the mountains looking for someone, and then Ono Yoshibei came back, and he was injured, and as soon as he entered the door, he urged us to hurry up and board the boat in another remote part of the island." ”

"That's when I realized that those people in the water village were looking for us!"

"We were so frightened that when we got on the boat, one of Ono's Yoshibei men rowed us to a large island and hid! Oh, the same island you grabbed us! ”

Tang Shunzhi frowned and said to the hundred households: "Why did you arrest these people?" What about the others? ”

The hundred households hurriedly stood up: "My lord, the others don't know, at that time, our sailor entered the attack, and after going to the water village, the people in the water village collapsed at the touch, and then helped the old and the young to escape with a small boat!" When we searched Dadeng Island, we searched the entire island and arrested these people, and the others were old and weak women and children, and they were still in prison! ”

The old and weak women and children must be the family members of the water bandits in the water village, which is of little value to ask.

But what about Ono Yoshibei in the mouth of this fake widow? What about Weng Zhengchun?

Thinking of this, he asked again, "Where did Ono Yoshibei go?" ”

When the fake widow said this, his face showed hatred: "At that time, the official army went to the island, and Ono Yoshibei secretly left us, I don't know where we went!" ”

"There are thirty-eight of you in total, even if you leave Ono Yoshibei, what about the others?"

The fake widow was about to cry: "That bastard is gone with the rest of the people, just leave us two!" We were doing a sentry not far from the camp! These bastards slipped away, but they didn't even say hello! ”

"Weng Zhengchun doesn't know where he went? It's the second master! ”

"I don't know!"

Tang Shunzhi asked a few other questions, but this person couldn't answer clearly.

He asked a few others, who knew less than the false widow.

At this point, the case basically came to a standstill.

He first asked a few people to be escorted down, and then asked the hundred households to go back to report and let the sailors strictly check on Taihu Lake.

Then he withdrew.

Back in the second hall, he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, washed his face again, and said to Xu He: "Originally, I was relatively relieved about the defense line arranged by Nanzhi and Zhejiang in Taihu Lake. ”

"But now that the Shen family has something to do with this matter, I guess these people may have escaped from Taihu Lake by now!"

Xu He nodded, expressing his approval of Tang Shunzhi's statement.

Then he added: "Zhou Ju went to Huanghuabin to arrest people, and it is estimated that he can't catch them, the other party should have fled long ago when he saw such a big movement!" ”

Sure enough, after about an hour, Zhou Ju came back and reported: "According to the map, the family's surname is Wan, and he was a personal companion of the government family in the early years. ”

"Wait!" Xu He suddenly interrupted Zhou Ju: "You said that this surnamed Wan has been a personal companion to the family of the official?" ”

Zhou Ju nodded.

"Do you know which official it is?"

Zhou Ju said: "I asked, the neighbors are not very clear, it is said that he is a big official in Beijing, but some people say that the daughter-in-law surnamed Wan once boasted in front of them, saying that every year the commanders of the Huai'an prefect and Dahewei will personally come to their homes to give gifts!" ”

Speaking of this, Xu He and Tang Shunzhi's eyes looked at each other in unison.

The Beijing officials can also let the commanders of the Huai'an prefect and Dahewei come to the door to give gifts.

Each of these three elements is incompatible.

The local yamen and the guard office were originally two systems.

Let people from these two systems come to the door at the same time to give gifts, so how old is this person?

Tang Shunzhi said: "There are too many such candidates, and it is possible for any of the six yamen officials to sit in the court." ”

Xu He seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "What if this official is not so big?" ”

Tang Shunzhi shook his head and said: "How is it possible, the guard and the Huai'an Mansion will give gifts at the same time!" ”

Xu He said: "Yes, Jiangxi Province supervises the imperial history!" ”

Tang Shunzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

That's right, Jiangxi Province supervises the imperial history, is one of the provinces under the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in addition to auditing the affairs of Jiangxi Xingming and Guanglu Temple, but also supervises Dahewei and Huai'an Mansion.

"Sir, the Jiangxi Provincial Inspector was previously held by a person named Wang Gui!"

Tang Shunzhi didn't understand what he meant, and wondered: "What's wrong with Wang Gui?" ”

Xu He smiled: "This Wang Gui's father is the scholar of Songjiang Shen Mo Shen Ge, he has grown up with Shen Ge since he was a child, although his family has moved to Changshu now, but in fact, he still lives by the Shen family!" When I took the test in my hometown this time, it was Wang Gui's son Wang who defiled me for cheating! ”

Tang Shunzhi's expression suddenly became serious: "What do you mean?" ”

"This surnamed Wan is very likely to run to Wang Gui's house to hide, as long as you hold him, you can follow the vine and find evidence!"

What evidence, he did not say.

That's because Zhou Ju is still there.

But Tang Shunzhi already knew what Xu He meant.

He nodded and said, "I know what to do, don't startle the snake first, and when we finish singing, it's not too late to close the net!" ”

Xu He smiled: "The student has this intention!" ”

Zhou Ju on the side looked at the two of them blankly, unable to figure out what dumb riddle they were playing!
