"Sir, please make the decision for us!" In the hall, the butler of Cheng's house kowtowed like pounding onions.
Looking at the Cheng family housekeeper who was kneeling down and asked him to send troops to suppress the bandits, Wang Shoutian looked serious, but he was secretly happy.
Jishui County started from scratch and used it as a base. But I was reclaiming it in front, so you picked peaches behind?
It’s okay to pick peaches, but they are not very respectful and don’t know how to be filial. They just want to rely on this tribe to grab land and build a fort in the back. Wang Shoutian was already unhappy.
Now the bandit robbed him, he liked it very much.
First, there is an excuse to encircle and suppress the bandits. Although there is no excuse, wouldn’t it be better to be justified?
Secondly, it means that the bandits have some inventory. Not to mention anything else, the Cheng family has a lot of money this time. Even if they are surrounded and found the dirty goods, will they still return to the Cheng family?
It's good to return one tenth.
Wang Shoutian sighed in his heart and his eyes fell on the butler of the Cheng Mansion: "So, a deputy butler died in your mansion and seven servants, and he lost countless gold and silver, and even the third wife disappeared?"
"Yes! Sir, please make sure to make decisions for the younger ones and to destroy these robbers!" The butler of the Cheng family asked with a sad face.
The mansion sneaked into the house in the middle of the night, not only looting the mansion, but also plundered the master's favorite third wife. Naturally, there is the responsibility of the housekeeper in this kind of matter.
As soon as the incident happened, he was scolded by Mr. Cheng and drove him out overnight and reported the case here.
Of course, the most important thing is to have one fortune and one loss.
If the Cheng family suffers heavy losses and is over, can this butler still be here? Even if it is here, what else can we say?
"Record the clues provided by Cheng's mansion first, and I will deal with them when it's dawn tomorrow." Wang Shoutian pondered for a moment and said to a clerk beside him.
It’s the same if you leave this kind of thing to others.
"Butler Cheng, let me tell me in detail..." When Wang Shoutian walked out, the questioning of Dian Jie and the answer of the butler had already sounded from behind.
"Let's deal with it in a few days!" Wang Shoutian returned to his room and went to bed. To be honest, the matter of the Cheng family really has nothing to do with him.
The next morning, after Wang Shoutian got up, he received a report asking for a meeting.
"What's going on?" Wang Shoutian asked strangely as he saw Xue Yuan and Lai Tongyu both coming.
"Sir, not only the Cheng family, but also some merchants have been robbed." Xue Yuan also had a headache. He got up and had just sent away the Cheng family housekeeper. Several representatives of the merchants, or the merchant himself, came.
Last night, the robbers were really thieves and were in place at once.
"What did the same robbers do?" Wang Shoutian's face turned a little ugly at this time.
"...Maybe!" Xue Yuan then told Wang Shoutian about the situation of these families. Since he had to pay taxes when entering the county town, some passing merchants either lived on boats or lived in private houses outside the city.
Although Jishui County is dilapidated, there are actually scattered villages, or more than a dozen households, distributed, and merchants have a place to live.
After listening, Wang Shoutian's expression was a little solemn.
This was obviously done by a group of people. Their robbery was also going in the same direction. Depending on the situation, it is very likely that they would rob the Cheng family all the way.
It is too late to grab one household alone, but now this group of robbers is too arrogant. It is not enough to steal one family. They have also snatched five or six households along the way. It is said that more than ten people have been killed or injured.
This would be bad. Wang Shoutian knew that if the real murderer was not found out, he might give some people an excuse to attack.
"Xue Yuan, do you have any clues?" Wang Shoutian asked with a frown. It is a good thing to have excuses, but it is also a troublesome thing when things are big.
"At least two things can be concluded. First, these families were robbed by a group of bandits, and second, through the locations of these families, you may be able to find the hiding place of these people." Xue Yuan replied.
"I understand. I will handle this matter." Wang Shoutian gave the order and said.
Military and political affairs are now separated, so Xue Yuan doesn’t have to worry about this matter.
"Yes." Xue Yuan said in response.
"He Wulang, you are a mountaineer and are familiar with the mountains. In the past few days, you will take people to find out the situation in the mountains. There is no need to be limited to this case. How many bandits are in the nearby mountains will investigate together." Wang Shoutian ordered the two of them to come and said instructed. The meaning inside was already very clear.
"No!" Zhang Wulang responded.
"Zhang Yi, you patrol everywhere, I'm afraid that the people will be uneasy in these robberies." When He Wulang left, Wang Shoutian said to Zhang Yi again.
"I understand the mark, please relax." Zhang Yi saluted Wang Shoutian and left immediately.
Next, the victim was summoned again. When the victims expressed their willingness to donate money to the county, Wang Shoutian comforted the victim and made a promise to investigate and arrest the murderer as soon as possible.
Three days later, He Wulang lived up to his mission and investigated everything clearly.
Wang Shoutian is not unfamiliar with the name "Qiluo Mountain?" and he had long heard of bandits on the mountain.
"Is it their purpose to find out?" Wang Shoutian asked with a frown.
"Yes, sir, there are actually not many bandits nearby. After all, bandits have to support them. This Qiluo Mountain is the largest. Someone nearby saw them taking more than a dozen big cars up the mountain and following the route, only they meet the conditions." He Wulang thought for a while and added: "There is a hunter in the town at the foot of the mountain, which has something to do with us, and he also confirmed that this is indeed the case."
"This group of bandits are different from us. They entered the mountain ten years ago. There were thousands of them. They lived on the mountain all year round. They were unruly and disobeyed Wang Hua. They relied on the dangerous obstacles of the mountains and forests and went down the mountain to rob. In the past, because of the turbulent situation in the county, no one paid attention to them, which made them more and more rampant. This time, they actually ran to the county town to commit crimes..."
"Thousands of people?" Wang Shoutian was shocked. Such many people were worthy of attention.
"My adults are worried. It is said that there are thousands of people, but in fact, the people are originally going up the mountain, mostly young and old, and they are really capable and strong men. It would be great if there are 300 people."
"So that's it... Find someone who is familiar with them and tell them that as long as they are willing to hand over the plundered money, I can be considered innocent." After thinking about it, Wang Shoutian sneered: "I'll leave this matter to you. It's best to understand it as soon as possible."
"What do you mean by sir?"
"Don't say that you are not prepared!" Wang Shoutian sneered and said.
At the same time, Qiluo Village was full of joy.
This time, the robbery was harvested with great results without any casualties. This victory greatly inspired the Qiluo Mountain Village.
When spring comes, everyone thinks that they should make a vote to prepare for food and clothing for the first half of the year.
For Qiluo Mountain Village, it is a good thing to have meat and drink with wine.
On the mountain village, someone looked out vigilantly, but inside the mountain village, they were sharing the grain, meat and money.
After a few days of lively, someone finally entered the mountain.
Qiluo Village, the master's room.
"Boss, someone has entered the mountain." As a voice came, the door was pushed open, and a man said to the person in the middle.
The person in the middle has a medium figure and ordinary facial features, but his whole body is full of toughness. If the victims who were robbed here, they will definitely be recognized, and this person is the person who took the lead in the robbery.
"Second leader, who is here?" asked the boss.
"It's the king of the Shanxia Town. He said he was here to meet the master." The second master said.
"Wang Yuanwai?" Thinking that his deceased daughter-in-law and Wang Yuanwai were cousins, he always wanted to give each other some face, the boss stood up and said, "Where is he now?"
"Let him stay in Zhongyi Hall, and he also sent some gifts, which were all placed there." The second head of the army said.
"Mr. Wang comes here when he comes, why are you bringing gifts? We were all fellow villagers in the town ten years ago. Haha, let's go over and take a look!" The boss said, and was about to go out.
"Big boss!" The second boss suddenly thought of something and shouted from behind.
"What's wrong?" The boss stopped and looked back at him strangely.
The second headmaster frowned and said, "Big Headmaster, I think it's very likely that Wang Yuanwai came this time for the incident some time ago. A few days ago, I told you that a stranger came to the foot of the mountain to ask about our affairs. If Wang Yuanwai and the official are involved, what do you think you should do?"
"He dares!" The boss was smiling, but when he heard this, his eyes immediately showed a cold light: "If he really came to be a lobbyist, I'll chop him up!"
"Master, can you really do it?" The second headman said lightly.
The boss was stunned and replied a little embarrassedly: "I can't kill him, but... if he really came to be a lobbyist for the officials, he would cut off his ears to punish him!"
The second headmaster couldn't help but ponder for a while and said seriously: "Why, the boss, don't go out. Let me see him and hear what he is doing, how about?"
"this……"
"Master, when have we been afraid of officers and soldiers? Could it be that you are really afraid?" The second commander said coldly: "Or, May you be afraid that I will kill the king's wife?"
The boss's face turned red and white when he was said, and finally he couldn't help but slam the table: "Nonsense! When have I ever been afraid of officers and soldiers?"
"Will that happen? If you go to see the king's house, he really says something, and you can't bear to start. This is the kindness of a woman, and it will only destroy the majesty of my Qiluo Mountain Village! Please allow me to ask the king's house why the outsiders are. If he wasn't for that matter, it would be easy to say. If he did come for this matter, he would have to cut off his ears and drive him down the mountain!" The second boss said with a tough attitude.
It can be seen that the second in command also mastered a lot of the power of the copycat. Seeing his request, the master had to nod and said, "Since that's the case, you go and ask."
The second head of the army looked happy and said, "Then I will go."
After the second head of the army left, the boss leaned on the seat and sighed: "Brother Wang, don't let me down. I am not the old brother I used to be with. I have thousands of lives behind me!"
After a stick of incense stick, footsteps came from outside the door. Then the second head of the house walked in from outside with a cold smile on his lips.
"Mr. Wang..."
"The boss, he is indeed here to be a lobbyist. No wonder he looked strange when he saw me when he came. This is a letter written to you by Master Guan. If you are afraid, just hand me over!" The second boss said with a gloomy face.
He picked up the letter and looked at the content. The boss's face changed several times, and he sneered and tore the letter to pieces.
"If you have the ability, they will come. Can they capture Qiluo Mountain Village?" Then, he looked at the second head of the house: "The king of kings..."
"He is the brother of the eldest son since he was a child. I didn't take his life. He cut off one of his ears and drove him away." The second son curled his lips and said.
