The book continued, saying that Master Bao used this trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, Wu Qiangan robbed women in the city, and then led out Ma Long, and when Ma Long came out of the county office, he was ambushed in the left and right eyeliner, and immediately reported to Master Bao, Master Bao sent three sons to the county government to assassinate Hu Zhi County, but he didn't expect that Wang Shi heard that there was a case of women missing at night in Leizhou City, so he wondered in his heart: What is the purpose of this, it is absolutely impossible to be just a missing woman, after the woman is missing, the family must go to the county government to report the case, and the county Hu Feiwei, if the case cannot be solved, he will definitely send someone to the city to investigate, in addition to sending his own apprentice Ma Long, there is no other credible person. I see, this is a ploy to divert the tiger from the mountain. Thinking of this, Wang Shi quietly ambushed on the roof of the county office, and Huang Xiujuan also shouted to go with him, so there were three brothers of Wang Shidart's packing family.

Hu Zhixian and Wang Shi and Huang Xiujuan were still talking in the study, when Ma Long came back and went to the house to see the master. Re-seated. Wang Shidao: "I can see that this Bao family has a lot to do with this woman's disappearance. Kidnapping women is just a reason, and the assassination of you is the ultimate goal. ”

"But where have these women been robbed? Hu Zhixian asked.

"Just now I was on a roof in the city, and I met the thief, and then chased after him, and the thief's shaking hand was a hidden weapon. Look, master, this is the thing. As he spoke, Ma Long handed the iron bead to his master Wang Shi. Wang Shi took the iron bead and looked at it: "Haha! This is not an iron bead, this thing is a secret weapon used by people in the rivers and lakes, called iron lotus seeds." ”

"Father-in-law, this thing has been found at both crime scenes. It seems that this is the person who took the women. It's just that I don't understand, how did he do it, he was able to rob the woman in the room in the middle of the night, and the husband who was asleep didn't notice it, and the door was still bolted from the inside. ”

"Hahaha, my son, this is just a trick, thief, first uncover a few tiles on the roof, and blow the smoke from the roof into the house, and the people in the house smell the smoke, so they faint. When the thief came down, he pulled the latch of the door with a sharp knife and got the woman out, and then he went up to the roof, and stretched down a bamboo pole from the roof to latch the door, and latched it, and covered it with tiles. So it creates the illusion that the woman disappeared for no reason. ”

"Oh! I see. So what should we do now?" asked Hu Zhixian.

"Now Master Bao is waiting for his son's message at home. You immediately sent an order to ascend to the hall, and the three classes of officials surrounded this Bao family, and the people who shared the house did not leave one. If there is a slight delay, this old man will definitely escape. ”

"What my father-in-law said is very true. I asked my father-in-law to sit down in the lobby with me. Hu Zhixian stood up and said.

Wang Shi smiled: "No, son, I won't go to the lobby, you and Ma Long will go, I will wait for your good news in the study." ”

Hu Zhixian and Ma Long came out of the lobby, beat the drum of the hall, and the three classes of officials were separated on both sides of the gathering hall, and the master Wu Guansheng asked from the side: "My lord, at this time, I just arrived on the fourth watch, is there anything urgent?"

Hu Zhixian didn't agree to him, and took an arrow on the table in his hand: "Pang Guang, Zhu Yijun, the two of you immediately lead the Ma Bu soldiers to the Bao family to get people, and I will take all the men, women and children left to the lobby." Zhu Yijun and Pang Guang were a little puzzled, and stepped forward to ask, "I don't know what happened to the Bao family?"

"The three sons of the Bao family, Bao Shan, Bao Hai, Bao Quan, broke into the county Yahoutang late at night and wanted to kill the official, fortunately my father-in-law arrived in time, otherwise he had been chopped into meat by the three of them, you must not hesitate, go and bring people quickly. ”

Zhu Yijun, and Pang Guang, took the order, took the Ma Bu Ya soldiers, and went out of the county government to Bao Mansion, and the eyes arranged by Master Bao outside the county government suddenly heard the sound of the shengtang drums, and then, these soldiers came out with the two heads. I knew that it was not good, so I hurried back to tell Master Bao.

This old man is sitting in the back study with his fourth son, Bao Shuang, chatting and drinking tea, just waiting for his three sons to come back. At this moment, the person who was sent to the gate of the county government came back: "Master Hui, the officers and soldiers are here, and the officers and soldiers are coming to our house." ”

Bao Shuang was anxious when he heard it: "Ah, what about my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother?"

"I don't know!"

Bao An, the old man Bao, was shocked in his heart, it's just that, our Bao family has encountered a ruthless character this time, and it's all over: "Your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother were either captured by the people of Huzhi County, or they were killed." Let's run!" Old man Bao immediately instructed his family members and his subordinates to fight these family members, a group of more than 100 people, from the back door of Bao Mansion to the south of the city wall, the city wall is not high, it is seven or eight feet away, first put the stairs up, these individuals climbed over the city wall from the stairs, went out of the city, and went to the sea, at this time Wu Qiangan was still on the beach did not go, standing on the boat to watch, I saw that the old man Bao took out a small bamboo tube and put a signal flare, Wu Qiangan saw it, knew that it was the people of the Bao family, so he put the boat on the shore, and then the Bao family got on the boat and went to the island.

It is said that Zhu Yijun and Pang Guang took the horse infantry and went to Bao's house unhurriedly, and by the time the two of them arrived at Bao's house, the building was already empty. The two sent more than a dozen officials to guard the place, and then returned to the government to see Hu Zhi County. Hu Feiwei heard that the people of the Bao family had left, and he was depressed. Retired from the hall and returned to the back hall to see Wang Shi.

"Father-in-law, there is not a single person left in this Bao family, but where are these women who have been robbed? Hu Zhixian asked.

"Haha, my son, think about it, these two heads and these servants, who have lived in Leizhou County for a long time, have some to do with the Bao Mansion, even if they have not been bribed by him, or they know that they are afraid of the power of the Bao family, therefore, you sent them to arrest the people of the Bao family, and you were a little afraid of it at first, so the action was slow, and there were few eyes of the Bao family near the left of this yamen, and when these servants went out, they were already known by the old man Bao. How can you not run? Wang Shi said with a smile.

"Since this is the case, why didn't the father-in-law say it earlier, but he thought of another clever plan. Hu Zhixian complained a little.

"Haha, my son, if anything, I'll tell you, how to train you, I don't say, I want to experience you, see if you can think of this level, the national player plays chess to see eight moves, the master plays chess to see seven moves, you do things too inconsiderately, although you are dedicated to the people, but if you want to punish the bad guys, you have to be more cunning than the bad guys. Honest and capable of doing something. ”

Hu Zhixian only chattered and nodded yes. After dawn, Wang Shi took Huang Xiujuan and insisted on going back to the inn to live. If there is a word, it is long and there is no word, and the city has been clean for several days, and there are no missing women, but Hu Feiwei has always had a headache, and the families of the women who have been robbed come to the yamen every few days to ask. Hu Feiwei was very annoyed, on the one hand to build water conservancy on the other hand, these cases were these cases, I couldn't help but be a little irritable, on this day, Hu Feiwei took Ma Long and a few servants, came to the north of the city to see how the water conservancy project was progressing, just walked into the village, but saw a house burned by fire, five corpses lying in front of the door, Hu Zhixian stepped forward and asked: "What's going on." ”

A fifty-year-old middle-aged man with the head walked over: "I am here to be the village leader, Guo Cunxiao." ”

"I'm the magistrate of this county, Hu Feiwei, I don't know what's going on with this family?"

Guo Cunxiao sighed: "Hey, last night, this house suddenly caught fire, and the surrounding neighbors couldn't come to help, and the whole family of five was burned to death in the house." It's going to be buried. I don't know that the county lieutenant is here, and the people are not welcome, and I hope that the adults will forgive their sins!"

"Even if you are the head of the village, because you should know the law, don't you know that you should immediately report to the county government when such a person's life is serious? can be buried, why don't you respect the law and want to bury it privately. Hu Zhixian reprimanded him here.

"It's not that the people don't respect the law, but because the county has not known the abbot of the county for many years, and everything is handled by themselves, so it is like this, and I hope that the adults will forgive their sins. ”

Hu Zhixian immediately instructed the officials to go to the county and call a servant to check and examine the body. After a while, he first washed the five corpses with wine vinegar, and then looked inside the mouth and nose, only to see that there was no black ash in the mouth and nose, and they were all clean. No external injuries were found on the five bodies. They had to report it truthfully. Hu Zhixian read the inspection list, and he was also puzzled in his heart, if this person was really burned to death, there must be ashes in the mouth and nose, and there was no ash in the mouth and nose of these five corpses, indicating that before the fire, all five people were already dead. However, there were no obvious external injuries on the body, maybe there was a blade wound on the body, but the skin was burned black by this fire, and it was unrecognizable, Hu Zhixian thought of this, and called the person to come forward and asked: "The outer skin of these five corpses is all blackened, how do you know that there are no fatal external injuries?"

He clasped his fists and saluted: "The villain just looked at the surface and did not see any obvious injuries, so he filled in truthfully." If the epidermis is burned, the wound is really not visible. ”

"Since you can't see it, write it, the skin is burnt, and you can't tell if there is a wound. How can it be simply written that there are no external injuries? In this way, we will mislead the handling of cases! We should be cautious in the future. Don't make such mistakes. "I retreated.

Hu Zhixian called Guo Lizheng to him and asked, "Does the deceased's family have any enemies in this village?" ”

Guo Lizheng thought for a while and said: "If you want to talk about the enemy, their family has no deep hatred with anyone, the old man Tao Zheng is quite modest, he is a contemptuous craftsman, he can weave mats, and these villages near and far often ask him to weave mats, or weave a basket or something." Son Tao Jian, also learned his father's craft, doing this business outside, there are two acres of thin fields at home, usually the daughter-in-law and the old woman are taking care of it, and the two masters come back to help when the farm is busy. I haven't heard of any deep hatred with anyone. ”

Hu Zhixian and Ma Long looked around the village again, asked some villagers, and said that their father and son had not heard of anyone who had a grudge. For a while, the case reached an impasse and could not be solved. In less than a month, the prefect Yamen sent a criminal officer to check it down, and re-examined the body, and found a knife mark on the neck of the deceased Tao Jian, the wound was not deep, just cut the epidermis, about half an inch deep, because it was scorched by the torch skin, so it was very difficult to identify. Based on this stab wound, it can be concluded that the deceased was killed first and then set the house on fire. But why did this murderer kill the five members of the Tao family.

Hu Fei thought about it left and right, so he sent Ma Long to check near the village, the village where the Tao family is located is called Shannan Village, and the mountain behind the village is called Zhuowoliang. There are more than a dozen families living in this village, Ma Long made up as a shaved head, carried a burden on his shoulders, and entered the village all the way, people in ancient times were not like people now, they had to get a haircut every few days, and people in ancient times usually didn't get a haircut. The ancients believed that the parents of the body should not be easily damaged, so Cao Cao had a hair cutting head. It can be seen that people attach great importance to their hair, and cutting their hair is like cutting off their heads, so this haircut was not a business in that era. The person who first invented the trade, the barber, is said to be Lu Dongbin. Why did Lu Dongbin want to get a haircut, it is said that Lu Dongbin was a show talent at that time, he failed several exams, he was depressed, and he was already extremely poor, and suddenly saw a laizi, because he had sores on his head, and he was about to die, after all, he was a person who had read books, and he was educated and knowledgeable, and he thought in his heart: The reason why this leprosy sores cannot be cured is because it is covered by hair all the year round, and there are fleas and lice in it, which aggravates the development of the disease. Thinking of this, Lu Dongbin found a kitchen knife, sharpened it, and shaved the leper's hair. The leper was already dying at that time, and his heart said that if you want to shave your head, you can shave it, and he is dying anyway. After Lu Dongbin shaved his hair, he suddenly felt that his head was extremely cool, and gradually his condition began to improve, and within half a month, the sores on his head were cured. Therefore, in ancient times, shaving the head must have been because there were lice in the hair, or sores, and there was no way to shave the head. This Malone picked up the shaved head, walked around the village twice, there was no business, Malone actually didn't shave his head, he estimated that no one wanted to shave his head, so this is so, he was tired, and saw an old man sitting at the door of the house in front of him, who was buttoning the rope, walked forward and put the burden on the dam at the door, and walked in: "Old man, the boy is polite, he is thirsty and begs for a bowl of water." ”

The old man looked up and said in his heart, "What a big man, who looks like a tower." Turning his head to look at his burden, there was a stove at one end, it was steaming, as the old saying goes, the shaving pick is hot, and that's the reason, why the shaving pick has to put a stove, and it is not selling snacks. This is a stove, which is used to boil hot water to wash the hair of guests, you go to the barber shop to get a haircut, people are not allowed to wash your hair, the same is true for people in ancient times, but there was no water heater at that time, so you had to use a stove to boil water. The old man looked at it, and he understood, and asked with a smile, "Today's business is good." ”

"Don't mention it, I walked around the village today, and there was no one who shaved his head. The sun was at noon, and the lunch had not yet settled, so the uncle gave me a bowl of water to drink to quench my thirst. ”

The old man stood up with a smile and brought a bench from the back room and put it at the door: "You sit here first, and I'll pour you tea." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Ma Long sat down on this bench, and after a short time, the old man brought out a teapot from the kitchen and poured a bowl of tea for Ma Long, who took it up and drank it: "Ah! ”

The uncle smiled and poured three bowls for Ma Long, and Ma Long was full. The old man asked, "Do you still drink it, I'm pouring you a bowl, and the tea pipe is enough." ”

Ma Long hurriedly waved his hand and thanked him: "Enough, thank you uncle, these can be regarded as full." ”

The uncle brought the tea into the kitchen and put it away. After a while, the old man's son came back from his farm work: "Oh! I'm dying of thirst." The young man went to the kitchen as he spoke, and as he went, he looked back at Malone a few times.

Ma Long sat for a while and asked, "I heard that some time ago, someone died in your village, it seems that a family of five died in the house, and it also alarmed the state capital. Tell me what's going on. ”

The old man glanced up at Ma Long, shook his head, and sighed: "Hey, I tell you, don't go out to talk about it, where you say it, you can count it." Did you know!"

Malone nodded and said, "I know, just tell me about it, I like to hear these things." ”

The old man looked his head left and right, and when he saw that there was no one else, he whispered: " If you ask me, this is the right person, to say that the Tao family of five, this death is really miserable, not because of his son Tao Jian, hooked up with Guo Lizheng's daughter-in-law, last year, Guo Lizheng's family needed to weave mats, so he called Tao Jian to his house, this Tao Jian in and out of Guo's house every day, somehow hooked up with Guo Lizheng's daughter-in-law, and then the two often had trysts together, Guo Lizheng's son was doing business all the year round, and he couldn't come back a few times a year, not long ago, Guo Lizheng's son, Guo Xiaobao went home once, and the Tao family caught fire。 You say it's a coincidence. ”

"It's a coincidence. Malone nodded.

"I'll just say this casually, don't tell anyone else, it's damn!" the old man said with a mysterious expression.

When Ma Longtan heard such important information, he was overjoyed, got up and thanked him, walked down the ladder, picked up his burden and returned to Leizhou City.
