His name is Geng Xin. According to the living officials, this man was very diligent in his position, and he was very poor. I don't know where the prisoners, their relatives, and the bonuses given to him by the cell boss are being used.

It is a well-known habit that when prisoners are imprisoned, they will be searched. After being locked in, if you want to have a better life, you have to take something.

What about the relatives of the prisoners? Want to visit? Take the silver.

Neither the jailers nor the cell bosses will take it alone, they will all share it together. The cell bosses have a large share, and the jailers have a small share. The days are not sad.

And it's all conventional.

Therefore, the official who said this did not have any psychological pressure at all.

Di Ying won't care about any of this.

I can't manage it if I want to.

If you do, the bright will become dark, and you will be more careless.

Regardless, this behavior will also have a kind of habitual convergence. Won't go too far.

As long as you don't take the money, you can let them go or kill them. That's how they measure.

If the limit is strong, this proportion will be gone. Because earning silver has become rare.

In short: I can't go into details.

At this time, a servant was brought in.

When he came in, he reported: "Master Di, there is a mountain between Yongquan County and Huajian County. The terrain is very complex and treacherous. There is a group of mountain bandits mixed in it all year round.

Small estimate: The attack on the county government this time should be their handiwork. Because Hu Ming, the younger brother of the mountain bandit leader, was arrested by the order of the county lord four days ago and put on death row.

But there was no case and no specific charges. only said that Hu Ming was a relative of the mountain bandits, and he must be the internal response of the mountain bandits in the county seat, so he was arrested.

The dead people and the small ones have also been checked, and there is no one named Hu Ming inside. Presumably rescued. ”

Di Ying listened to this person's nonsense and spoke in an orderly manner, and glanced at the other party approvingly.

Then he said to the other party kindly, "Let's talk about it in detail." ”

and raised his hand to signal the other party to sit down.

The other party twisted his waist crampedly, looked at the chair on the side, and didn't go over to sit down, but stood directly and told the story of those mountain bandits.

"Master Di, I won't tell you anything. Our county lord and Guan Jie are a corrupt official, and he is still a big corrupt official. You see that our Yongquan County is so poor, and he still scrapes the ground.

But to put it simply, it is because of his greed that today's situation has been created. In the past, Yongquan County was actually quite good. At least there is no such thing as forcing people to go up the mountain to become bandits.

The county magistrate served in Yongquan County for five years, and in the second year, there were mountain bandits in that mountain. The one who started was called Husha. The youngest brother in his family is named Hu Ming.

Husha took a group of people who could not survive, Zhan Shan as the queen, and his family was also brought into the mountain by him. But his old mother and his younger brother did not go with him.

His old mother didn't know that he was a bandit, and Hu Sha didn't dare to let his old mother know, otherwise he would have to be killed.

His younger brother knows, but he doesn't want to follow his brother to fool around. Hu Ming is studying, and he only wants to take the imperial examination as an official. The two brothers fell out.

Hu Ming happened to stay at home to take care of their old lady.

Their father had died of illness a long time ago, and their five brothers were all raised by their mother. The other three, Hu Shui, Hu Shi, and Hu Xi, all followed Hu Sha up the mountain for bandits.

Only occasionally, they would quietly go down the mountain and go home to give the old lady and the younger brother some money or goods. It's just that they were all thrown out by his younger brother.

The neighbors knew about the Hu family, and they all moved far away from his house. No one dared to pick up any of the things and silver that were thrown out.

The reason why I know that Hu Sha took the lead in the bandit is because when he first robbed the past merchants, he received a report from the county magistrate. He also contacted the government and the garrison to transfer troops to suppress bandits.

However, each time there were heavy casualties and no success.

Husha even shouted to his face, so everyone knew that he was the leader of the bandits.

The only official road between Yongquan County and Huajian County is their main target of robbery. At first, they were more measured, only robbing goods and silver, and not killing people.

Later, they began to kill people who had money or power. Or tie people up the mountain, extort ransom and so on, and even forcibly kidnap women to go up the mountain.

But the poor were not touched.

If the poor pass through that official road, or even go into the mountains to cut their wealth or hunt or the like, they will not move.

Some wealthy people were robbed or killed, and their families wanted to take revenge on Husha's mother and younger brother. But it didn't work out.

Husha sent people to protect his relatives in the county. Once those people retaliate, Husha will kill everyone in the house.

After that, no one dared to attack his mother and younger brother.

They were all frightened by Husha's cruelty and brutality.

However, more and more poor people went up to him in the mountains.

At present, the number of bandits on the mountain, according to preliminary estimates, is about in the thousands.

Husha did not rob the rich to help the poor, he probably felt that as long as he did not help the people, then there would be more people who could not survive to go to him. ”

Di Ying bowed her head slightly.

Among the dead were twenty-six men, all dressed in black and bearded, and they were very uniform, so there was no doubt that they were among the robbers.

Some of them were slapped to death by the force of their palms, some were killed by their blades, and some were kicked to death by their feet.

But here's the problem.

From the gate to the first iron gate of the dungeon, within fifty meters, there were the bodies of the robbers. The rest of the places do not.

And then according to the calculation of the time of death of each person, that is: those robbers died after robbing the dungeon.

All the people on the ground and in the county government were killed, and in the dungeon, except for the two jailers, there were only those who were convicted of the felons and those who were sentenced to death.

So who killed the robbers?

Are they felons or death row criminals?

After all, the dungeon doors, except for the stupid ones, were opened, and the prisoners all escaped.

It's just that most of them are dead.

The death is also one of each.

There are only five people, like Wei Zhi, who are alive and dead.

So, is it possible to extrapolate from this?

When the robbers attacked outside the iron gates of the dungeon, the two jailers, frightened, opened all the cages, released the prisoners, and promised them to fight off the bandits?

This is the most likely, right?

The prisoners must have been very willing, too.

What a great chance to escape?

However, some of those prisoners were killed by the swords of the bandits, and some of them were ...... But it was like fighting each other and dying to death.

Makes sense, right?
