"Sir, five people have escaped." The two teams gathered together, and after counting, they found that five people had escaped.
Bai Shan: "Where did you go?"
The soldier pointed to the village, where a group of people holding hoes and sticks had gathered. However, seeing that there were many soldiers here, and all of them carrying swords and bows, they did not dare to step forward.
Of course, it's not easy for soldiers to rush in and take people away. What if those villagers are in trouble?
Bai Shan then turned to look at Sun Lichang.
Chief Sun came out of the queue tremblingly. He could only take the lead and go up to persuade the villagers, "Folks, this is the county magistrate. They are here to arrest the bandits. You, you can't resist the arrest."
The crowd became restless, and many people looked at their fellow villagers suspiciously, "Is your son going to steal something?"
The other party's face turned pale and he immediately denied, "No!"
Bai Shan said in a deep voice: "The bandit leader has confessed, and many of them are from your village."
"That's slander."
Bai Shan nodded: "That's why the county invites them to go back to the county office for investigation. If they are false, I will naturally let them go."
“Can the county government release people after arresting them?”
Zhou Man couldn't help but mutter, "How bad is the reputation of the county government? Living in a prison cell also costs money, okay? Why are you raising a group of innocent people when you are full and have nothing to do?"
Bai Shan glanced at her and said to the villagers: "If they are innocent, why is the county arresting them? Aren't they allowed to pay the county government for food and drink every day?"
Someone whispered: "To ask for money from us?"
Bai Shan heard this and said unceremoniously: "I am from a wealthy family in this county. Not to mention that you are just one family, even your entire village and this county will not look down on you."
The villagers felt as if they had been hit by an arrow. Although they relaxed a little after hearing these words, they still felt very uncomfortable.
Bai Shandao: "Hand the person over, otherwise the county will pursue you for resisting arrest."
The villagers were so numerous that they hesitated but did not move away.
Can he still catch them all?
Seeing this, Bai Shan's face darkened. He turned to the side and said to Sun Lichang: "Write down the names of those who don't want to retreat. When you turn back, all the grain, farm tools, cattle, and relief for future disasters given by the county government will be deducted."
."
Sun Lizhang's eyes widened, "This, this, this..."
"Confronting the county government and shielding the gangsters has added burdens and disasters to the country and the surrounding people. The county has been lenient by not holding the charges accountable, but there is always a price to pay for doing things." Bai Shan squinted his eyes and threatened the already confused man.
The villagers said in a deep voice: "Anyone who dares to hurt an official will be captured and convicted and demoted."
Some people in the crowd stepped back one after another, and some even went home directly with their hoes on their shoulders.
Dongyuzhuang is different from Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village. There are too many people in those two villages who are bandits, and there are also many people who know the truth, so they both have a bandit spirit.
However, Dongyuzhuang is a larger village, with fewer families involved, and even fewer people who know the truth.
They are willing to help because they are from the same village and have various relatives, but they cannot put themselves in jail.
In the end, Bai Shan caught the five people hiding in the village.
Then they kept moving to another village to arrest people.
There were even fewer suspects in that village, so Bai Shan didn't need to use policies like luring the enemy. He just asked the soldiers to surround the village and then calmly went in to arrest the people.
Unfortunately, some people were not in the village when they were arrested, so no one was caught. Including the two who escaped last night, a total of eight people were not caught.
Bai Shan asked County Lieutenant Dong to take twenty people to look for and arrest people, and he led the army to escort the captured people back to the county town first.
He said to Lieutenant Dong County: "We have arrested so many people with great fanfare. Now the relationship between the government and the people in this area is probably very tense, so you must be careful not to disturb the people."
He said: "Just search for three days. If they haven't come back after three days and you haven't found anyone, then there is no need to guard them any longer."
Dongxian Lieutenant please exit.
Bai Shan and his party returned to the county government office. Because too many people had been arrested, the prison could not accommodate so many people for a while, so he made two rooms in the front yard of the county government office to lock up the remaining people, and sent people to
He went to clean the City God's Temple outside the city and imprisoned the remaining people in the City God's Temple.
The number of people arrested was the largest in Beihai County in recent years. Therefore, when the people were escorted into the city, many people stood on the roadside to watch curiously.
When they heard they were bandits, the people were still in disbelief, "There are bandits in Beihai County?"
"Never heard of it."
"I think they are almost the same as us. Could it be a mistake?"
"If you just say that the county magistrate has wronged people for political and military achievements, won't that be the end of it?"
"I didn't say that, it was you who said it."
"I said that's what I said. I also said that this is impossible. If you pretend to claim military merit, why bother escorting the person back alive? Wouldn't it be better to just kill him and hang his head on him?"
"Can it still be like this? What does Mr. Lang do to be so knowledgeable?"
"No talent, just a storyteller in a restaurant."
While there was a lot of discussion, a yamen servant came out with gongs and drums and beat them loudly: "Your Excellency said, there will be a trial in the county yamen tomorrow. You can go and watch it when you have time. In your free time, you should think about the nature of human beings."
point……"
The Yamen servant paused for a moment. He really couldn't remember what the word the county magistrate said, so he simply didn't worry about it. Everyone would know it when he went there tomorrow.
When Bai Shan returned to the county government office, he found Zhao Wu and said, "Look at the cells and the Chenghuang Temple outside the city to see their reactions. Not all of them may be prisoners, we have to screen them out."
Zhao Wu was entrusted with an important task for the first time and was overjoyed. "Sir, can I go alone?"
Bai Shan: "Call your brother, and you will be responsible for speaking."
Zhao Wu was famous throughout the county for his talkativeness. Bai Shan felt that he could compete with Man Bao, so it was better to send him instead of sending other yamen servants.
Zhao Wu:......
He looked at the adults, and finally quietly accepted the task and went to find his brother.
The people who were arrested behaved in different ways, some were trying to keep themselves calm, some were full of anger, and some were crying bitterly.
Zhao Wu walked around in a circle, couldn't hold it back, and went to talk to those who were crying bitterly, "Why are you crying? Why didn't you cry when you robbed people? You also killed people."
When the other party saw Zhao Wu squatting in front of the cell talking to him, for some reason, the tears flowed even more fiercely, "I didn't commit any robbery, I was wrongly accused. I only stole a chicken from a nearby village. How could I dare to commit robbery?"
Zhao Wu asked him, "Whose chicken have you stolen?"
Zhao Wen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw that he actually opened the topic like this, but his eyes were fixed on the expression of the speaker.
The other party obviously choked and stopped crying, "Do you have to go to jail for stealing a chicken?"
"Yes," Zhao Wudao said, "My lord just said some time ago, why shouldn't you do something just because the evil deed is too small..."
Zhao Wen: "Don't do evil for small things."
"Yes, yes, that's it, brother, you have a better memory."
Zhao Wen ignored him.
? I I wiped my face delicately, I wiped my face delicately after taking a shower, I wiped my face delicately, I vaguely saw a flash of golden light.
So I stopped the movement in my hand, and stared at myself in the mirror to observe for a few minutes back and forth. I started to test it back and forth. Finally, a pale golden eyelashes were pulled out from the bottom of my eyes.
? It was almost transparent and very thin. The golden color looked particularly noble. Then I found the tweezers and pulled it out. The foreign matter should not be there, especially the foreign matter near the eyes.
