Hashma recalled the public cases he had experienced in the past, and he was angry: "The Cao Gang and the Salt Gang, in addition to occasionally doing some serious things, secretly engaged in activities such as operating contraband and selling illicit salt, and also evaded the crackdown of the imperial court, which has long been well known. The last time you besieged them, the next time they besieged you, and the two sides fought in private, which violated the laws and regulations of the imperial court, not to mention that there were always casualties, and it was a criminal act of Yan zhòng! You and your father must be members of the Cao Gang, and you say, what did your Cao Gang do to the Yan Gang last time? So that they set themselves on fire, and some of the Cao Gang suffered losses this time. What other bad things did the Cao Gang do?"

Zhao Juzhi said to Hashma in a panic: "Although my father and I are both members of the Cao Gang, we are both low-level members of the Cao Gang, and we didn't participate in what we did to the Yan Gang last time, so I really don't know." We're just following along, what other bad things the Cao Gang has done is the responsibility of the leader, my lord, forgive us the little people in the Cao Gang!"

Hashma thought for a moment and added, "You were besieged by the Salt Gang on that uninhabited island, where did your father go?"

Zhao Juzhi's father hurriedly replied: "This has to be answered by the villain, during that time, the villain's son was guilty on the island, so he didn't know the villain's situation at home." At that time, I had a son living outside and could earn money to support my family, so I didn't have to go out and work too hard, but accompanied my wife to the mountains to pick mulberry leaves and fruits. Since the villain's son escaped by chance, the villain has accompanied Dumiao's son to help others fish in the small lake far away. The villain didn't take part in that mission to the sea, didn't experience that brawl, just in the evening. I met those officials who went to arrest us and were dressed in micro-suits, so I inadvertently bumped into them. I beg your lords to forgive the villains and dogs!"

Zhao Juzhi saw that Hashma was still thinking, and further pleaded: "The villain has already told the truth according to the adult's intentions, and begged the adult to be lenient to the villain, and forgive the villain's father who has nothing to do with that incident!"

Hash Qun was in a mess, and asked Hashma in grief: "Brother, it seems that my eldest son has died, what should I do now?"

Hashma replied firmly: "To live is to see men, and to die is to see corpses." Tomorrow we'll go to that island to see how it's going. Isn't Zhao Juzhi still alive? Maybe your eldest son was rescued by someone else, and if the drifting place is far away and the injury is even more serious, he may not be able to come back. ”

Hashqun had no choice but to ask his brother to help him deal with the matter: "I hope so! ”

Hashma nodded to his incompetent brother, and then said to Zhao Juzhi: "Zhao Juzhi, you take the official to that island tomorrow, and the official has to go to inspect the situation over there." The official has decided, let your father go home tomorrow. ”

Hearing what Hashma said, Zhao Juzhi and his father hurriedly kowtowed to Hashma to thank him.

Hashma gave an account to the officials. Take Zhao Juzhi and his father to the guest room, let them eat supper, rest freely, and then announce their retirement.

Everyone went back to the living room, where supper was ready. Everyone ate with their hearts in mind.

During the banquet, He Renzhi still asked Tao Ziyun to go to that island together tomorrow, Tao Ziyun knew that this was something that could not be avoided, and nodded without thinking. Present. He Renzhi and Tao Ziyun discussed the specific itinerary with Hashma for tomorrow.

On the other side, Hashqun's wife, daughter, and youngest son listened to Hashqun talk about the situation in court. One by one, tears flowed from sadness. The people on the other side of the order can only comfort them one by one. Hashma, for his part, insisted that things had not yet come to that point and that his eldest nephew had simply disappeared......

The next morning, as had been agreed the previous night, Hashma gathered a large number of officers and soldiers and prepared to take them to the seashore, so that they could inquire if anyone had rescued the eldest son of Hashqun.

Tao Ziyun also made some preparations, wrapped some necessary items into a burden to carry, and then flew into the air with those people.

Under the guidance of the surprised Zhao Juzhi, Tao Ziyun stopped at the seaside near the island. Hashma told the officers and men that in the evening, they should return here to assemble together, so that they could return to the yamen together, and when they heard the sound of gongs, they should gather together without delay.

The officers and soldiers agreed to scatter and left, and Tao Ziyun took the Hashma brothers, He Renzhi, Keretu and Zhao Juzhi and flew straight to the island.

The island is overgrown with vegetation, but there are no birds or animals, which is probably caused by people who have passed by in boats and come up to hunt.

There are many new graves on the island, but some of them have traces of being excavated!

Zhao Juzhi shouted angrily: "The people of our Cao Gang came to collect and bury those gangs, but some of the graves were dug up, it must have been done by the people of the Salt Gang!"

Tao Ziyun said disappreciatively: "It may also be a professional tomb robber." ”

Hashma looked at the excavated grave and felt shocked, and he said to Tao Ziyun: "Master Tao, I have to bother you to see what is going on. ”

Tao Ziyun nodded silently, took out a piece of silk cloth from the burden he was carrying, wrapped it around his mouth and nose, and then wrapped it around the back of his head and tied it tightly.

Tao Ziyun approached the excavated grave, and when he squatted down to look, the lid of the coffin was lifted to the side, and there were no burial goods in the coffin.

Tao Ziyun walked to the entourage who was in a daze on the side, told them about the situation, and asked Zhao Juzhi again: "You Cao Gang collect and bury the people, according to the custom, what funeral goods will there be?"

Zhao Juzhi thought about it and replied: "In the past, some gold, silver and jade artifacts would be put in, but this time, there was no sympathy for the relatives of the dead gangs, and they directly let those dead gangs play missing, and it is estimated that there will be no funeral goods this time." ”

Tao Ziyun nodded: "It's possible, the gravedigger looked at several graves in a row and found that there was nothing valuable in them, so he gave up the plan to dig it again." ”

Hashma said with a sad face: "This island is so desolate that there is no wild fruit, it is really impossible for people to survive. My eldest nephew can only survive if he is rescued like Zhao Juzhi. We had to wait for the results of the officers and soldiers to inquire about him. ”

Tao Ziyun said solemnly: "I still have a way, let some officers and soldiers continue to inquire about the news, and call some of them to come over, open all those graves, and check if there is your eldest nephew inside." ”

Although the idea was troublesome, it was still necessary to do it, and everyone nodded yes. However, Hashma later questioned: "Without tools, how can you dig a grave?"
