The man's face was anxious and anxious, and Shen Lian stared at him, convinced that he was not lying.

"What happened? Tell me more about it. Shen Lian kept a safe distance from this person and asked.

Hearing that Shen Lian meant to help him redress his grievances, the man's face suddenly became happy, and he bowed to Shen Lian and said: "This official, the villain is a person from Qingyun Town, named Liu Hai, the villain's concubine Sun Zhen went back to her parents' house to visit relatives a while ago, and was detained by the eldest brother, and has not returned yet. ”

Your concubine was detained by her mother's family?

This is a special housework, there is a way that it is difficult for a clean official to decide a housework, it is useless for you to look for me in this matter!

"Why did your eldest brother detain people? Could there be a reason? Thinking that there might be something else hidden in this matter, Shen Lian asked.

"Don't hide it from the official, according to my eldest brother, Sun Zhen was looked at by the bandit leader on the nearby Mao'er Mountain, and wanted to capture Heifeng Village as the wife of the village, my eldest brother didn't dare to offend the other party, so he agreed."

Speaking of this, Liu Hai's face became more and more ugly.

The Black Wind Village on Maoer Mountain?

Understood, this is a robbery of people's daughters, and it is indeed handled by the government.

Shen Lian glanced at Liu Hai up and down and asked, "Why didn't you report to the official?" ”

"The villain has already sent a servant to report to the official, but the county government is too far away from Qingyun Town, and it will take more than ten days to come and go, and Heifeng Village will marry my concubine three days later.

Yongzhou has a vast area but is sparsely populated, and often the jurisdiction of one county is on top of several counties in other states, and Liu Hai is right.

Shen Lian groaned slightly, and said to Jin Yuze beside him: "You look at him, I'll report it." ”

Jin Yuze nodded, stepped forward, stood on the edge of the bangs, held a single-edged sword in his hand, and looked at him vigilantly.

Zhou Tianlu stood aside, ready to support at any time if something happened.

After Shen Lian left, he immediately found Yuan Hong, the master of the Qincha, and Wang Zhizhong, the shadow secret guard, and told him about the bangs.

After hearing this, Yuan Hong's brows furrowed slightly.

According to reason, this kind of thing is not in the hands of him, the minister, his task is to arrive in Youzhou as soon as possible to carry out inspections, but the people ask to come to the door, and as the royal seal, if you ignore it, I am afraid that it will attract criticism, and it will be a stain on his reputation.

If what Liu Hai said is true, the Black Wind Village on Maoer Mountain is to rob the people's daughters and be punished according to the law.

But if you manage it, this is Yongzhou and not Youzhou, and the name is not justified.

If the Beijing officials interfere in the affairs of the state and county without authorization, they will be impeached by the officials.

Wang Zhizhong looked at Yuan Hong's expression and knew a little about what he was thinking.

"Lord Yuan, there is a shadow guard, you don't have to be tied." Wang Zhizhong reminded.

The shadow secret guard is the emperor's own soldier, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, as long as it is in the territory of Dayu, there is nothing that the shadow secret guard can't control.

Yuan Hong's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.

yes, how did I forget about it!

"Shen Lian listens to the order, this official orders you to accept this matter and quickly find out the truth." Yuan Hong looked at Shen Lian and gave an order.

Shen Lian secretly glanced at Wang Zhizhong, seeking the leader's opinion, and the other party bowed slightly.

"Yes, the subordinate obeys."

Returning to the sentry post, Shen Lian took Jin Yuze and Zhou Tianlu to call the man named Liu Hai aside to learn more about what happened, and then took several Yu Linwei to Liu Hai's house for on-the-spot inspection.

Qingyun Town is not big, but it is still prosperous, and after Shen Lian and the others entered the city gate, they happened to meet the soldiers who were in charge of purchasing supplies.

reminded him that Liu Hai had said that he learned about the visit of the Qin mission from Yu Linwei, who was buying rice in his shop, so Shen Lian asked these soldiers for confirmation.

Most people don't have much of an impression of Bangs, but three soldiers who were chatting with Bangs at the time confirmed his identity as the shopkeeper of the rice shop.

"You're a rice merchant?" Shen Lian looked at Liu Hai curiously and asked.

"Don't hide it from the official, the rice in the entire Qingyun Town is supplied by me." Liu Hai smiled and said proudly.

It turned out to be a small rich man, but I advise you to keep a low profile, don't you understand the truth that wealth is not exposed?

Shen Lian said in his heart.

Soon arrived at the Bangs House.

Ooh! Shen Lian was taken aback.

The area is very large, with three courtyards.

If this is placed in the inner city, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels.

After learning about the situation with Liu Hai's family and surrounding neighbors, Shen Lian concluded that the case was basically true.

In addition, it was also learned that this Black Wind Village is a group of evil bandits, often looting nearby villages and towns, robbing people's women from time to time, and the people have also reported to the officials, but the county government has not eradicated the Black Wind Village for many years.

In this regard, Shen Lian was clear in his heart.

Hehe, there are ghosts in the county government, according to the plot development of film and television dramas in the previous life, the big boss of Heifeng Village may be the brother-in-law of the county master.

Shen Lian complained silently in his heart.

"Your concubine's maiden family is not in town?" Shen Lian drank a cup of tea served by Liu Hai and asked curiously.

"Yes, the mother of the villain's concubine is in Sunjiazhuang outside the town, about five miles away from here, and you can reach it by walking along the official road." Bangs laughed.

"Lead the way ahead, let's go to Sunjiazhuang." Shen Lian got up and strode out the door.

Now that it was getting late, Liu Hai thought that Shen Lian would wait for dawn before taking action, but when he heard Shen Lian say this, he didn't react at that time.

Looking at the bangs that were stunned in place, Shen Lian glared and quipped, "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't want a concubine? Don't hurry up and lead the way. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, thank you." Liu Hai came back to his senses, and immediately thanked Dade for trotting to prepare the horses, "Official, I have a carriage at home, although it is not as comfortable as the Yamen, but I also made a soft bag, let's take the carriage?" ”

Shen Lian immediately shook his head after hearing this, and said, "No, let's ride over to save time." ”

Although Liu Hai has horses in his family, there are not many of them, and a small tyrant like him usually goes out in a carriage.

There was no way, Shen Lian had to take people back to the camp to find a few horses.

Sunjiazhuang is indeed as Liu Hai said, you can reach it by walking along the official road.

At the head of the village, several children are playing.

With bangs leading the way, Shen Lian and his party found Sun Zhen's maiden house very smoothly.

Judging from the house, this is also a big family in the village.

"Official, it's my father-in-law's family, my father-in-law died a few years ago, and now my uncle is in charge." Bang Hai dismounted, pointed to the big mansion in front of him and said.

Shen Lian nodded, "You go knock on the door." ”

When he returned to the camp to ride a horse, Shen Lian consulted Yuan Hong and Wang Zhizhong, and the two agreed that if the matter was true, they would take this opportunity to completely eradicate the Black Wind Village.

"Yes."

With Shen Lian's support, Liu Haihai was full of anger, and immediately stepped forward and slammed the door hard.

"Open the door! I'm here to pick up my lady and take her home! ”
