Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "In this way, tomorrow morning we will set off to Changheng County to see the situation and find out what is going on. If it is a misunderstanding, we will clarify the misunderstanding and explain it, and rescue Lao Wu and the others.
Anyway, let’s figure out the situation first.”
Yang Xiu nodded slightly and suddenly asked: "What if the other party is really a mob? Isn't it dangerous for us to go to the mob that violently resists the officials? In this way, you don't have to go tomorrow, I will go."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Why, Brother Yang is so skilled in martial arts that he is not afraid of the mob?"
Yang Xiudao: "That's not true. Brother Lin has a family, and your wife is going to give birth again. Nothing can happen to you. I, Yang Xiu, am the only one in the family, so I have nothing to be afraid of."
Lin Jue was moved in his heart and smiled: "Brother Yang is sincere to me. I don't know what to say. But since we are friends, how can I let my friend take risks? Don't worry, I won't be afraid of some mobs. Tomorrow I will
I am not afraid of any mobs as I take my guards with me. Before I go, I first go to the Changheng County Government Office to ask their county magistrate to go with me. The soldiers and horses of their county office must go with me. This way I can always
Just make sure it’s safe.”
Yang Xiu thought for a moment and smiled: "That would be reassuring. I have to go and see what's going on. Let's go together."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "That's natural. We should go together. Brother Yang, there is something I have always wanted to tell you. You are already a grown man. You are already in your thirties. Do you plan to live like this?"
Yang Xiudao: "What do you mean?"
"It's like this. There are many girls in my grand theater. Although they are of humble background, there are also a few who are talented and dignified. Instead of this, I will find a matchmaker for you, and you can take a concubine so that I can take care of your daily life.
.What do you think?" Lin Jue smiled.
"No, no, no, how can I be so lucky? I can't support myself, so why should I take a concubine? I can't even give them a place to live in. Isn't it going to make others suffer with me? No, no, that's all I want.
It's good. One person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. They can do whatever they want and don't have to worry about trivial matters. Thank you Brother Lin for your kindness." Yang Xiu said with a blushing face and waved her hands.
"There are three types of unfilial piety. The first is to have no heirs. Brother Yang, did you study in vain? I don't even have a place to live. Is this a problem? Let me tell you, all the women in my grand theater are little rich women, unless they look down on you.
, as long as you like you, your salary is really not enough for others. I only ask you to do the same. Although they are from prostitutes, they all have personalities. If you dislike others, just pretend that I didn't say anything. Even if you don't say anything.
In the future, when you become a successful person, you can't despise others. This is my lowest requirement." Lin Jue said seriously.
Yang Xiu smiled and said: "Brother Lin, with my appearance, who do you think you should dislike? We'll talk about this later. How can I be busy with this now?"
Lin Jue said: "Let me tell you first, don't let me shave my head and choose a handsome one. When the time comes, give me a slap on the back. I will look for you and take care of your character and appearance. That's it. I'll make arrangements later."
Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and was speechless, thinking: How could anyone force someone to be a matchmaker like this? This Master Lin is really overbearing.
Early the next morning, when Lin Jue arrived at the Gongfang compound, he was shocked by the scene inside. He saw Yang Xiu and a group of old police officers who were fully armed. It was said that they were fully armed, but it was not false at all.
These old guys used to go out with only whistle sticks and no knives. Because the knives were too heavy, they were quite heavy to carry on their bodies. But today, they all hung their knives on their waists and did not forget to hold the whistle stick in their hands.
What's more, a few old detectives took out a few tattered pieces of armor from nowhere in the warehouse and put them on themselves. The bells jingled like tatters picked up on the street.
"What are you doing?" Lin Jue asked with a bitter smile.
"Come with your lord to rescue people. Although we have old arms and legs, we can still help you. The old brothers have discussed it and we will accompany you together." An old policeman with a gray beard replied.
Lin Jue looked at Yang Xiu, who hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It's none of my business. I've made it clear to them that you don't need them to accompany you, but they don't listen. They are all here waiting for you. I can't help it." ,any idea?"
Lin Jue smiled at the arresters and said: "Brothers, I know what you are thinking. Lao Wu has been detained, and you are very anxious and angry. However, I have my own arrangements for this matter. There is no need for you to go. Please leave and do your work. Good job at hand.”
An old policeman wearing a torn helmet shouted: "What? Don't adults look down on us old arms and legs? When I was young, I used to beat up several gangsters. Even now, I can't deal with them. A few mobs will be fine. Let me show you my sword skills, and you will know that I, Old Huang, am not bragging."
As he spoke, Lao Huang opened his stance, and Cang Lang pulled out his saber with a loud sound. His movements were vigorous and neat. Then he picked up the saber and started playing with it on the spot. Not to mention, he performed a set of saber skills in a decent way. Three moves and two moves. After the pose, Lao Huang made a twisting posture and raised the knife and stopped moving.
"Okay! Lao Huang, you did a great job." Everyone around them applauded and praised them. Lao Huang gave them a good face and proved in front of the adults that they are strong and strong. Let's see what the adults say.
Lao Huang remained motionless. Someone shouted: "Okay, okay, Lao Huang, take it."
Lao Huang yelled with a bitter face: "You think I don't want to stop, I twisted my waist. Come help me quickly, I can't move."
Everyone stared in shock and cursed. The two old detectives quickly stepped forward to carefully support Old Huang, and slowly helped Old Huang twist his posture. Everyone nearby seemed to be able to hear the cracking of the bones when Old Huang's waist turned. Click sound.
Lin Jue suppressed his laughter and ordered: "Hurry up and get some medicinal wine and give him a massage. Old Huang, I know you are always getting stronger. But this time it's just a small matter, so I won't bother you to do anything. Next time something dangerous happens, , how about asking you to take action again? The same goes for everyone, you are all elite soldiers and generals, I will not use you until the critical moment."
Lao Huang was so ashamed that he was helped aside to rest amidst everyone's complaints. Lin Jue said to Yang Xiu: "Brother Yang, let's go, the horses are waiting outside."
Yang Xiu said hurriedly: "Didn't you say that you would go with a capable manpower? Where are the people?"
Lin Jue smiled and turned around to go out. Yang Xiu and all the government officials followed, but saw seven or eight guards riding tall horses waiting outside at the door of the public house. Although they were not wearing armor, they had long swords on their waists and slings on their backs. The bows and arrows are really as powerful as tigers, horses, and dragons. All the government officials are ashamed of themselves, so they are called elite soldiers and strong generals. Among the seven positions, Bai Bing changed into men's clothes and sat upright on the horse, which is also very heroic.
Yang Xiu was relieved and led the horse to get on it. Lin Jue gave Yu Deshui a few words and led the group of people to gallop away with whips and kicks.
The group of people left Beicheng and headed straight to the northwest of the capital. North of Bianliang is a flat land. Last winter, Lin Jue made a trip to Beicheng. It snowed heavily and the ruined temple was filled with swords and blood. It was a terrifying sight. The night of killing. But this time it was June, and although the weather had begun to get hot, the grass and trees in the Pingchou wilderness were lush, green, and the scenery was pleasant. Compared with the cold winter last year, it was already a different world.
Everyone was speeding north along the official road. When they crossed the Twenty Mile Bridge, Lin Jue intentionally or unintentionally took a second look at the ruined temple on the left side of the road. The ruined temple was no longer what it was before. The small temple back then
It caught fire and collapsed, and the earthen tower at the rear also collapsed at some point. It has already become a place of ruins.
Lin Jue thought to himself: That case is still backlogged on his desk, including the disappearance of many doctors in the capital. The court has been urging Zhu Zhirong to solve the case quickly, and Zhu Zhirong has also asked about the case many times, urging him to solve the case. Lin Jue thought, this case only requires him
One day in the Criminal Division, I was afraid that there would be no possibility of solving the case. Could it be that I took the initiative to confess that I had killed dozens of people in the world that night, and kidnapped a group of doctors to cut off the clues?
Kaifeng Prefecture governs several counties in the Gyeonggi Province. Changheng County is located northeast of the capital, about a hundred miles away from the capital. It is a small and remote county in Gyeonggi Province. Because it is north of the Yellow River, the landscape is bitter and cold, and it is not developed.
In fact, although the counties under the jurisdiction of the capital city belong to the capital city, they do not get much glory from it. On the contrary, because they are close to Bianliang, there are many labor activities, so they are disturbed.
The group boarded the boat at Chengqiao Ferry and crossed the Yellow River, speeding along the official road to the northwest. Even though the people were strong and the horses were strong, and their feet were fast, it still took them a whole day to enter Changheng County. They entered at the first watch of the day.
to Changheng County.
Changheng County is a small county with a population of less than 50,000. The walls of the county town are very high, because after all, it is close to the border town, and each city has done enough in defense. In fact, each of the dozen or so cities north of the capital is
This is also because there is basically no danger to defend north of Bianliang, the capital, except for the natural dangers of the Yellow River. Therefore, the imperial court reinforced these small counties one by one and built a relatively complete defense system to make up for the deficiencies in the defensive terrain. This is actually
This is also one of the reasons why the burden on people in Gyeonggi is heavier than that in places outside Beijing.
Although the city wall is tall and well-defended, once you enter the city, it is a different scene. The streets in the small county town are narrow and the houses are dilapidated. The houses on both sides of the main street and in market towns and villages are generally mostly clay houses. The streets
It was basically a dirt street with deep ruts, ravines, and bumps, and the horses staggered from time to time while walking on them. In order not to hurt the horses, everyone had no choice but to dismount and walk.
There are only a few lanterns swaying every hundred or so steps on the street. In front of the shops and buildings on both sides, it is pitch black without any light. Compared with the streets of Beijing at night, although they are only a hundred miles apart, they are
One is heaven and the other is hell, it can be called two worlds.
Everyone walked silently on the street. Seeing such a street market when people were exhausted made them feel even more depressed. There were very few pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, a few black figures shrank past, like lonely people wandering in the dark.
Like a ghost.
After walking for more than half of the street, there were finally lights ahead, which was where a square was located. A tall and out-of-place building stood on the north side of the square. There were also scattered shops with lights around the square, and I could smell some aroma at the end of my nose.
