Lin Hailu walked two steps outside the yamen, then stopped again, turned around and asked the leader of the guard behind him, He Haotian, "Is there still no news about the young master?"
He Haotian shook his head and said, "The four guards sent to guard the young master are all dead. [】The young master is also missing."
Lin Hailu gritted his teeth and said, "Send more people to find them. Don't just search in the city, and look outside the city to find Du Ruhui. After finding Du Ruhui, he found the young master."
He had already received news that the person who attacked Lin Rong was Du Ruhui. There is no need to guess this. In Wuling City, those who have the courage and ability to attack Lin Rong were except Du Ruhui.
Apart from others, don’t let others do it. The person who assassinated himself last time could not have appeared in Juxian Tower so coincidental.
Rescuing his son is something he cares about very much. What he cares more about is that his son still has a silver note of 100,000 taels, which is not a small number. Even though he has not had so many tens over the years
Ten thousand liang threw it away as soon as he said it.
He Haotian's head was a little big when he heard Lin Hailu say this. Not to mention outside the city, even if he finds a living person in this city, it's different to finding a needle in a haystack. Outside the city? That's not to think about it.
Yes. Besides, where did he get so many people? Du Ruhui was fighting this afternoon, and the guys who were very hard on their hands. If one of them died, he would have to have at least two of them.
In a moment, there were dozens of people on hand. Someone had to hold the imperial envoy, the government office, and the residence.
Now, in order to find the eldest young master, all the people who can be drawn have been drawn. Even the defenders and yamen runners have been mobilized. If you want to find someone outside the city, where can you help?
But he didn't dare to say this to Lin Hailuming, so he replied, "Please give the order to Wu and Lord Wu again. The youngest loaned out all the veterans who could not be beaten from Lord Wu and went outside the city.
Walk around.”
"Just go directly, just say I said." Lin Hailu said impatiently, then got into the eight-person sedan chair and walked towards his residence.
He Haotian hurriedly grabbed a man and gave an order, then led the team and guarded the sedan chair to head towards Lin's mansion.
After experiencing such a big storm, Wuling City had already caused a lot of controversy. The streets and alleys were also talking about the fierce battle outside Juxianlou.
It has been so peaceful for many years, and there has never been so many things in Wuling City. The previous prefect was assassinated first; the latter bandits openly entered the city and killed and robbed the rich. Today, a battle started, with hundreds of casualties and injuries.
people.
The troublesome situation is true, but is there no chaos here? The thief is really bold and doesn't take the government seriously? I heard that Moganshan's thief is very powerful, and the government suppresses it several times, but it has no effect.
.How can all this not make people think deeper?
It is scary enough to think of everything separately. If so many things are squeezed together, it is not just scary. If you talk about it or talk about it, you will talk about this unstable phenomenon.
People are uneasy.
Two days later, the government office issued an announcement of the Anmin: It alleged that the people who were captured and killed outside the Juxianlou the day before yesterday were all bandits, which had already severely hit the bandits' momentum, and so on. Just when everyone was a little relieved, they all overnight
Rumors arose in Wuling City again.
He said: The bandits in Moganshan have never entered the city. The Li family was killed and robbed, all of which were done by Lord Lin from our mansion who colluded with the Hutou Camp in the city.
The rumors explained in detail the various questions about why Liu Ziming appeared in the Li family so quickly in Hutou Camp; they also told me how Lin Hailu killed Liu Ziming to silence him because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed. Then he put Lin Hailu in Wuling as an official
The bad things were picked out one by one, and they were placed on paper and said.
To be fair, Lin Hailu is not a good official, so the rumor spreads widely immediately.
Of course, this rumor was not born in vain, but Su San grabbed Mr. Li, Yue'er, Ying'er, and Li Ji, and carved wooden boards by themselves, so that they could make them one by one. It took them two days.
In time, I had only collected a few thousand copies and secretly dispersed to the morning market, teahouses, restaurants and other places while the night was dark.
Therefore, early in the morning, the whole city came and spread the rumors. The spreading momentum was no less than the killing incident outside the Juxian Tower the day before yesterday.
Li Shouyi and Li Jiashu also heard such rumors early in the morning. They did not know Mr. Li’s recent situation and always thought Mr. Li was still in the hands of bandits.
The day before yesterday, the prefectural emperor wiped out more than 20 bandits outside Juxianlou. Li Shouyi went to the government office to ask for information. However, no one in the government office could tell why.
He was a little suspicious at the time, so he used money, found a relationship, and asked about the truth. It turned out that the statement was all nonsense, and the one who was actually killed was said to be a person from Jinling. I heard that it was
It has a good background, but it is definitely not a gangster.
Li Shouyi came back and told the matter about it to his third uncle Li Jiashu. Both of them were a little monk and were confused. But they didn't dare to use this matter and directly found Lord Lin, for fear of offending Lin at this time.
grown ups.
You know, they did not redeem Mr. Li from the bandits, and the bandits seemed to be missing and never came to contact him again. This only shows that Mr. Li is in danger. Since the hope of redeeming others is slim, then
They also hope that Lord Lin can get to the point of being aware of the murderer and get the whereabouts of Mr. Li as soon as possible. Therefore, they dare not take this matter and ask the master.
However, they had already felt suspicious, and when they woke up early this morning, they received such a seal. Although they didn't know if what was said on the seal was true, they recalled it one by one, one by one,
It is not completely impossible.
Li Shouyi and Li Jiashu were direct parties. Others didn't know the incident of the Li family's fire that day, but they knew the most.
From the start of the fire, the Wuling Army drove into the Li family neatly, which was indeed very short. Although it was possible, this was never the style of the Wuling Army.
Now on this seal, things are analyzed one by one, several things are connected in a series, and the true veins are clear, and there are causes and effects.
Li Shouyi and Li Jiashu listened to the servant's reward and read the seal carefully. Although the two of them didn't say a word, their faces were filled with a look of surprise and suspicion.
If the truth is really like that, it would be a little scary. The biggest official in our mansion is actually the biggest thief. Where can they make sense?
At the same time, Lin Hailu, who had just gotten up, also received a newspaper from his subordinates. After reading the seal in a brief manner, his mood, which had only been calmer in the past two days, was instantly burned.
"What's going on? What's going on? Come on. Arrest all the people who spread these seals to our government." As he said, he was about to ask about this matter in the government office.
Master Li, who had just entered the door, saw Lin Hailu being so hasty, and expected that it was the rumor that happened in the city this morning.
He hurriedly stepped forward to meet Lin Hailu and said, "Dongweng, please walk slowly, I have a few words here."
When Lin Hailu saw Master Li come in, he said, "You are here. You are just in time to ask Master for a counselor for this matter."
"But for this seal?" Master Li raised his hand.
"You have this too? This is really hateful." Lin Hailu gritted his teeth. He had seals here, and the master also had seals. How many people had seals in their hands? He must not let such things be circulated in the city.
"I don't know if Dongweng has a charter?"
"What charter? Our government will capture the monsters who dare to spread these seals in one fell swoop."
Master Li hurriedly said, "Wheng Dong knew how many copies there were in this print? If there were 1,000 copies, he would arrest one thousand people? If there were 2,000 copies, he would arrest two thousand people? Even if there were only a few dozen people and hundreds of people,
You should know that behind each of these people, there are a family of people, father and son, wife and children, relatives and friends. If you catch one, at least ten people will discuss this matter. Could Dongweng want to bring the whole city to everyone?
Do you catch the light? Preventing the people is better than preventing the river. Dongwen wants to arrest people, but it is afraid that it is inconsistent with the will of the master behind this. Dongwen's rules are inconsistent."
Lin Hailu was stunned when he heard this, and then came to his senses. After thinking about it carefully, it was true. Then he suppressed his anger and said anxiously, "Then Master Li said, what should I do?"
"According to the villain's opinion, if you don't catch this commander, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no similar things in the future. It's just that this requires finding some meticulous people and slowly seeking them. The most urgent task is to write a refutation notice.
The notice indicated that this was a trick that the bandit came up with when they were forced by the prefect. The master was the founding minister and had a noble status. There was no need to do such a thing. Therefore, malicious injuries were all fantasy;
Another thing is: I ask the civilians to pay close attention to the people around them, and not to be taken by bandits. If they find suspicious people, they will report them at any time. If they report them, they will be rewarded. In this way, they will be cut off from the root of their doubts.
And turning those people into the eyes and ears of adults is not a perfect solution?”
Lin Hailu was overjoyed and said, "Okay, let's do it according to Master Li's wishes. This is called writing a notice and spreading it to four cities." Lin Hailu got this idea and half of his worries were lost.
Then he slowly left the courtyard, got into the sedan chair, and slowly walked towards the government office.
