Yunzhou is a place with different customs for five miles and different towns for ten miles, but one thing is almost the same, and that is the strong folk customs.
Jing County is a slightly special place. The people here are different from the people in other places in Yunzhou.
The folk customs here are more robust.
Half of Jingxian County is not suitable for farming, so people live relatively concentrated.
Fighting between the two villages is a common occurrence, and there are several fights every year in order to compete for canal water to irrigate farmland.
There were also bandits who visited this place before, but they never killed any villagers who were not afraid of death.
However, that was more than ten years ago.
Ever since the Beiye Army took control of Yunzhou, there were no stray bandits anywhere.
Not long after Lin Ye and the others established the Contract Barracks, there were gangsters. That was someone who did it deliberately.
He's a fake gangster.
To be honest, the Beiye Army has been in Yunzhou for more than ten years. If there are still bandits somewhere at this time, the whole Beiye Army will be happy.
There really aren't that many opportunities for actual combat training. If you want to be a bandit, just be a bandit. Don't pick one.
What? Only a few dozen people?
Just dozens. Mosquito legs are also meat.
More than ten years ago, many brave civilians formed a rebel army and followed the Beiye Army into Dongbo to fight with the Loufan people.
When I went there, everyone was full of enthusiasm, and they all had the momentum of being one against a hundred. Everyone felt that they were the enemy of ten thousand people.
But after the fight actually started, many of these men who had never seen flesh and blood flying around were frightened.
Probably nearly a thousand troops collapsed without a fight and fled back to Yunzhou from Dongbo.
After coming back, firstly because they were afraid of being investigated by the government, and secondly because they were afraid of being laughed at by the fellow villagers, hundreds of them simply gathered together and became bandits.
At that time, the Yunzhou area was still relatively chaotic. After all, the Beiye Army at that time did not have so much time to deal with grass bandits.
These hundreds of bandits were still honest after entering the customs. After deciding to leave the country, they simply burned and killed them all the way and stole a lot of money and food. After careful study, they felt that Jingxian County was a good place and a place for a long time.
Half of Jingxian County is a mountainous area, and there are swamps at the foot of the mountains. If you really dominate the mountains, it will be a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
As luck would have it, they came just in time to harvest summer grain.
There used to be a feud between the two villages. They were hostile and fighting year after year, and people died every year.
The villagers in this village were rushing to harvest summer grain. Suddenly they saw a team rushing over. They thought it was a troublemaker coming from the next village to grab grain.
To be honest, if the villagers had not misunderstood that day and knew that they were bandits, they might not have beaten them so fiercely.
They just thought that they were people hired by the neighboring village to destroy the summer grain harvest.
They scolded the neighboring village for being shameless and asking for help if they couldn't beat them, and then they went up to do it.
In that battle, all the men, women, old and young in the village went into battle, carrying poles, wooden sticks, kitchen knives and fire sticks.
With the strength of a village, hundreds of armed bandits were beaten and fled.
The bandits who had made their way south were burned and killed, and two-thirds of their troops were lost here.
Since then, the reputation of the people in Jing County for being tough has spread throughout Yunzhou.
Later, General Tuoba Lie, who led his army in triumph, heard about this and specially brought his people there in person.
In order to prevent future troubles from shocking the place, he mobilized two thousand Beiye troops and blocked the bandits on a small island in the swamp. They surrounded them without attacking them, but killed them whenever they showed up, and the rest starved to death.
This village was originally called Liujiatun. Later, after the villagers discussed it and reported it to the county government, it was changed to Dasheng Village.
Not to mention, after this battle, the neighboring village, which was originally on par with Dasheng Village, has obviously become weaker.
From then on, if there was any dispute between the two villages, the neighboring village would usually give in first.
Over time, the discord and hostility between the two villages gradually faded away, and now, people in the two villages who originally agreed not to interact with each other until death have intermarried.
At this moment, Lin Ye was standing at the entrance of Dasheng Village, looking at what was recorded on the stone tablet. This battle was hailed by the villagers as a shocking battle.
I have to say that this is a miracle, even if the scale is indeed small, a miracle is a miracle.
Hundreds of armed bandits, they have weapons, armor, have been trained, have seen the battlefield, and are committing crimes along the way, it is not an easy task to massacre a village of one or two thousand people.
After reading it, Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh, this kind of thing is indeed miraculous and has been rare throughout the ages.
What makes the villagers of Dasheng Village most proud is that Emperor Jade somehow heard about this.
Emperor Jade specially sent an imperial envoy to commend the villagers and exempted Dasheng Village from money and grain taxes for five years.
Probably, this is one of the reasons why the village next door has become so weak.
Dasheng Village is still seven or eight miles away from Jingxian County. When Lin Ye and the others arrived, it was the hottest time of the day.
Lin Ye ordered the team to rest in the forest at the entrance of the village. They all brought dry food, so they did not go into the village to disturb the people.
The stone tablet was erected at the entrance of the village. After reading it, Lin Ye turned back to Yan Geng and said, "Go into the village and ask. I heard that the Zhenbang Martial Arts School is nearby."
Yan Geng responded, beckoned and took several Wu Lingwei into the village to inquire.
The Zhenbang martial arts gym is not located in the county town, but at the foot of a hill. This martial arts gym now has hundreds of disciples and is famous far and wide.
It is said that Yang Zhen, the owner of the martial arts school, is good at charity and eager to do justice.
During his spare time, he would personally teach nearby villagers how to practice martial arts for free.
So this actually adds some difficulty to handling the case.
If you have real evidence to arrest someone, then you have nothing to fear.
But if he went rashly and took Yang Zhen away directly, Yang Zhen's disciples would only have to call on the people, and Wu Lingwei would not be able to escape.
The people in this place probably don't even know what kind of yamen Wu Lingwei is.
Not to mention Wu Lingwei, to the people of the world, even Yu Lingwei they don't really understand.
It's just that most people have heard of it.
Just when Lin Ye was resting, he saw a group of knights roaring past.
When these people passed by on the official road, they really didn't take Wu Lingwei seriously.
The people of Wu Lingwei were all resting and eating in the woods on the roadside. These guys were galloping on horseback, and there was a burst of smoke and dust.
This made Wu Lingwei's people angry. While they were eating, they ate a mouthful of dirt.
Looking at the team that passed by, still carrying the banner of Zhenbang Martial Arts School, I was even more angry.
Perhaps Wu Lingwei's clothes are not scary enough.
If you want to scare people, you must first let them know what Wu Lingwei is.
So when Lin Ye saw this scene, he pressed his hand down, signaling those who were scolding and Wu Lingwei who even wanted to catch up to stay still.
"Big sea."
Lin Ye turned his head and shouted.
The Guardsmen rushed up to Peng Hai and asked, "General, what's the matter?"
Lin Ye said: "Take the ultimatum and go to the Jingxian county government office and ask the county magistrate Zhang Mingzhi and all the county government officials to come here to see me."
Lin Ye went to the side and sat down, not impatient, just waiting here.
About an hour later, there was a commotion in the official streets, and all the officials from the capital county, large and small, arrived.
The common people don't know much about Wu Lingwei, but all the officials do.
To put it more directly...Wu Lingwei specializes in investigating officials like them.
The county magistrate Zhang Mingzhi, the county magistrate Hu Wuwei and others got off the car, dismounted from the horse, and trotted to Lin Ye.
Zhang Mingzhi took the lead and bowed down: "I am the magistrate of Jingxian County, Zhang Mingzhi, to pay my respects to the Commander-in-Chief."
As soon as he bowed, everyone behind him followed suit.
Lin Ye looked at Zhang Mingzhi, then waved, and a Wu Lingwei immediately stepped forward and handed over the dusty dry food.
Lin Ye did not hand it to Zhang Mingzhi, but placed it on the ground.
"I was passing by here on my way to handle a case. The men and horses were resting, and a group of people rode by on fine war horses."
Lin Ye pointed at the dry food: "This can be considered evidence." Zhang Mingzhi said quickly: "The official is at fault. The official is now going to arrange for someone to prepare meals for the commander and his subordinates."
Lin Ye smiled.
"Of what I just said, which one is more important?"
Zhang Mingzhi was frightened, and his voice was trembling when he answered: "Yes, evidence, evidence."
The county magistrate Hu Wuwei behind him lowered his body and said: "It's a flying horse, a fine war horse."
Lin Ye looked at Hu Wuwei: "Your Excellency, what you said is very good."
Lin Ye swept away the loose dirt on his body, stood up and said, "I was just passing by, but now it is necessary to stay and check."
He looked at Zhang Mingzhi: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, how long will it take to find these people who wantonly ride horses?"
Zhang Mingzhi raised his head and looked at Lin Ye, obviously at a loss.
Hu Wuwei said: "It doesn't take an hour to go back and forth."
Lin Ye nodded and asked Hu Wuwei: "The county magistrate can find someone without me saying anything and without seeing him in person?"
Hu Wuwei took a deep breath and lowered his body: "Yes, the only one with horses nearby is Zhenbang Martial Arts School."
Lin Ye looked at Zhang Mingzhi: "The county magistrate doesn't seem to know as much about the affairs under his rule as the county magistrate."
He spoke like an adult, and Zhang Mingzhi's heart trembled every time he heard it.
Commander Wu Lingwei has the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. Even if he chops off the head of a seventh-grade county magistrate with a knife and accuses him of being casually charged, the court will not interfere.
Wulingwei was established by the emperor, and the commander of Wulingwei could kill officials below the fourth rank.
Zhang Mingzhi did not dare to answer, but Hu Wuwei spoke up.
Hu Wuwei said: "The county magistrate is busy with his official duties. He really does not know as much as the lower officials about the affairs of the world. The lower officials are careless and slack in official duties and are far less hardworking than the county magistrate."
What this means is that I have few things to do, so I have a lot of leisure time, and the county magistrate has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't know about this mess.
Hu Wuwei said: "Your Majesty, Commander, please go and bring Yang Zhen, the master of the Zhenbang Martial Arts School, here to apologize to you."
Lin Ye asked: "Do you know Yang Zhen?"
Hu Wuwei: "I know you from the lower official level."
Lin Ye looked at Zhang Mingzhi again: "Master Zhang, you don't know the martial arts school or Yang Zhen, is that true?"
Zhang Mingzhi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the subordinate neglected his duty. He didn't realize it and didn't hear about this person."
Lin Ye said: "Then you have indeed neglected your duty. This is a matter under your rule, so you should go ahead."
Lin Ye sat down again.
"Master Zhang is the chief official of a county. If you don't know something and don't know it, it's better to go and have a look in person to understand it."
Hu Wuwei leaned over and said, "I'm going with the county magistrate. I can lead the way for the magistrate."
Lin Ye: "What are you going to do?"
He looked into Hu Wuwei's eyes: "Go and report the news? Ask Yang Zhen to hide all the horses? Use some mules and horses to fool me?"
Lin Ye pointed in front of him, judging from his intention, he should ask Hu Wuwei to kneel down.
Hu Wuwei's expression changed, and for a moment he was not sure whether Lin Ye meant this.
"Take him down and lock him up."
Lin Ye gave a faint order.
The men immediately stepped forward and took off Hu Wuwei's official uniform.
Lin Ye looked to his side: "Who can tell him?"
Xu Haoran stepped forward and said: "According to the court rules, apart from military posts and official posts, only your county prime minister has some war horses in the county."
"As long as a war horse appears outside your barracks and falls into the hands of others, it will be a capital crime. For this reason, if I kill you now, is it unfair?"
After asking this question, Hu Wuwei's face really changed, and his eyes that were calm just now also changed.
