Chapter 22 The Beginning of Prestige 07 Rooster Cottage
"This ......" Sun Zhutou's heart was already jumping suddenly, once this black cauldron was detained on his head, this secret pirate would not be able to escape the charge of selling it privately! Besides, this matter also involved the East Factory, but this East Factory could be offended by himself? Can he not offend the East Factory, and he could not afford this case, the Criminal Department did not have to go against the East Factory, but he could use himself as a scapegoat, and that was not an easy thing to hate?
"I naturally know that this matter involves Dongchang!" Ren Tianbai understood in his heart, seeing that Sun Zhutou's face was white for a while, red for a while, not to mention his forehead, even cold sweat oozed from his neck, it seemed that he didn't know what to do, and he was afraid of wolves and tigers, but he was holding a wine glass, and he said: "Sun Tou'er, I'm afraid you don't understand where the joints are, and Dongchang may have been deceived by Wei Qinghuan and others, and captured a few impostors! ”
When Sun Tou'er was helpless in his heart, he suddenly heard Ren Tianbai's words, which clearly meant to excuse himself, but he was a headcatcher after all, the so-called obedient and obedient, and arched his hands: "I don't know how the adults are going to find the whereabouts of the people in Qinghuan now, but the subordinates know something, and they will never dare to hide it and not report it!"
"Okay!" Ren Tianbai nodded, and said: "Then I won't hide it from you, you are the head of Changle, and the ships that enter and exit on this dock every day, even if you don't know it well, you know it in detail, recently, can there be ships of unknown origin on the dock?"
"If you want to say that you don't know if it's not in vain...... Sun Zhutou suddenly had an idea in his heart, anyway, he decided that Ren Tianbai must be secretly arrested by the Criminal Department, and the most important thing for him now is to find out his innocence first, as for how the Criminal Department and Dongchang explain, it has nothing to do with him!
Ren Tianbai also suddenly noticed that a touch of murderous intent flashed on Sun Zhutou's face, and his heart was slightly cold, but Sun Zhutou stared at him and said: "These people are Qinghuan, even if they want to come to Changle to dock at the port, their subordinates are difficult to detect, but their subordinates have recently paid attention to the ships coming and going, some time ago, there was a ship docked at the port, and the ship did not seem to be a seafarer doing business, and I also asked my subordinates to follow those whereabouts, but when they arrived at Jinji Mountain, they disappeared!"
"Jinji Mountain?" Ren Tianbai was a little confused at this time, he was not as familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes as Gu Tuuyun, and he sent a cottage to the rivers and lakes, and the helmsman was the leader, in fact, most of them didn't know, Sun Zhutou also looked at Ren Tianbai's eyes for a moment, but he thought he was surprised, and hurriedly said: "My lord doesn't know, Jinji Mountain Rooster Village, although it is a cottage, in fact, he also does some maritime business secretly, Gao Sichen, the owner of Jinji Village, is said to have been born as a pirate back then, and later Chen Zuyi was defeated, Gao Sichen gave up the boat and landed on the shore and became a bandit!"
"Isn't the government going to exterminate it?" Ren Tianbai was really a little surprised, looked at Sun Zhutou and said: "Since even your little catcher knows Gao Sichen's origins, how can those Shangguan not know?
"Your Excellency doesn't know!" Sun Zhutou said with a wry smile: "Gao Sichen's origin is not verified, and he set up a village in Jinji Mountain, and he did not rob the surrounding prefectures and counties, and he didn't even intercept the passing merchants, and the official soldiers were nameless, what can he do?
"Then according to what you say, isn't this Gao Sichen a good person?" Ren Tianbai was still a little puzzled, Sun Zhutou shook his head and said: "The subordinates don't look like it, it was okay a few years ago, but over the years, there have been more and more unclear people in the rooster village, and many of them are from the sea, in previous years, the rooster village was just a cottage on the mountain, but in the past two or three years, it has become a climate, and more than 20 miles around the rooster village can be regarded as a forbidden place for his family's cottage!" There is also the saying that this Gao Sichen is the pirate Yu Kouzhi, and it is not groundless, some seafarers once said that they saw Gao Sichen on the sea back then, but at that time, this seafarer was only in his twenties, and he was robbed by Chen Zuyi, so he recognized it!"
"Where is that seaman?" Ren Tianbai's face tightened, and he hurriedly asked, Sun Zhutou was a little helpless, and spread his hands and said: "That seafarer was also drunk in Changle County, so he told the matter, and then one night when he was about to go to sea, he accidentally fell into the sea on the dock and drowned......"
"Drowned?" Ren Tianbai looked incredulous, the seafarers were all accustomed to their sea careers, and they didn't dare to say that they could be like the heroes in the water in Liangshan back then, and they had the ability to lie in the water for a few days and nights, but they wouldn't be drowned in the sea......?
"Just what?"
"It's just that the guy once said that there seemed to be traces of rope tightening on the seaman's ankle!" Sun Zhutou looked outside and said: "It should be that after falling into the water, something was entangled in his feet, and it was difficult to get out of the water, so he drowned! And on the same day, someone saw the master of the rooster village walking around on the dock!"
"Then I understand!" Ren Tianbai already knew in his heart that this seafarer was not drowned, but was killed by someone, so to speak, the few people who went to the rooster village some time ago may be Wei Qinghuan and others!
"Be careful, adults!" Sun Zhutou was active, knowing that Ren Tianbai was already suspicious of the rooster village, but he was afraid that he was going to break through, seeing that he had the intention of sending off guests, he couldn't wait to leave early, and hurriedly said together: "But if you can use your subordinates, your lord, just talk!"
"Hmm!" Ren Tianbai pondered slightly, but just responded, Sun Zhutou hurriedly saluted, retreated, and arrived at the gate of the county ya, first stood still and looked at it for a long time, and then flashed into the gate of the county ya, called two catchers to come over and said:" One person immediately went to the provincial capital, saw the chief arrester, and inquired if the criminal department had a secret arrest surnamed Bai, if there was, it was said that the criminal department had found out that Changle was coming, and Wei Qinghuan and others did not subdue the law, Tu was very afraid of fraudulent actions, and one person stayed here, if that person came out, see where he went, if he went to the rooster village, come and report me quickly!"
