Chapter 182 Meridian Mountain
Ziwu Mountain connects Yaozhou in the south and Yanzhou in the north, stretching for 800 miles. Huachi County is located on its northern remnant. The ecological environment is also very good. Ziwu Mountain’s primeval forest covers the sky and the sun, thousands of peaks compete for green, and thousands of ridges compete for green.
A good trick is to transform from this mountain!
That day a group of people walked out of the depths of Ziwu Mountain.
The leader said, "We must also thank Qin Wulang for his kind intention."
"Brother Yang, don't dare. My family will take care of you when I walk along this road in the future."
"Don't worry, with me, Yang Laosi here, I guarantee that your goods will inevitably be covered with a hair."
More than a dozen people came to Lepan Town.
Yang Laosi was a group of thieves living in Ziwu Mountain. The mountain was too big, and there were no San Dings. There were also some bandits in Ziwu Mountain. However, most of them were people and bandits. When they were not evil, they were mountain people, or fled their households. When they were evil, they turned into robbers. After San Dings, Ziwu Mountain spanned the six states of Qing, Fu, Ning, Fang, Yao, and Bing, and more fleeing people rushed up. So the situation on the mountain became even more chaotic...
The government is helpless about this, with a large mountain and a dense forest, and the situation is complicated, so as long as you don’t do it too much, you will be considered unsighted.
And there were some strange systems in the Song Dynasty.
It should be said that the internal governance of the Song Dynasty was not bad, such as disaster relief and poverty alleviation, and some nursing homes were opened, which also attached great importance to the ethics of officials. They occasionally shouted slogans of the people of the country. In terms of policies, they were indeed more open to the poor people. Doing this is a different matter, but at least it was shouted out in name.
But some systems are messy, such as fearing that the people will rebel and uprising, and when there is a disaster, they will fill the victims in the Xiang army with a good intention. How much finance should they be piled up? These finances are not transformed, but collected from the people.
For example, when dealing with rebellion and uprising together, we need to be kind and govern, so we should focus on recruiting and pacifying and suppressing as the auxiliary.
So a saying came from the people, wanting to be an official, occupy the mountains and be kings, etc. to recruit peace.
That may not be true.
However, this confused system has indeed alleviated the conflicts at all levels of the country to some extent. Therefore, various small uprisings and rebellions have continued in the Song Dynasty, but they have never been able to form a scale. The scale of Fang La, Li Shun and Wang Xiaobo has reached its extreme.
But it does not mean that the Song Dynasty has become calm. There are many small uprisings like Song Jiang, or occupying mountains and becoming kings.
In fact, these people cannot be called uprisings, they can only be called mountain bandits and river bandits. It is also different from the funny uprisings of Wang Lun during the Zhao Zhen period. Although some large bandits may be more than Wang Lun, they do not attack cities and villages, which means they do some evil, grab some small money, escape from the country's labor service and military service, and even stay in the mountains, they will rely on themselves, plant, and hunt.
However, Yang Laosi and his gang are notorious.
He was not worried. Qin Sanlang came to him and reported himself to open up the private business in Ziwu Mountain. It seemed that his family's business was very big, so he was worth thousands of yuan at one's move.
Cut off other people's heads and go to the government to receive rewards, which is not as valuable as these gifts.
Today is his birthday, and Qin Sanlang kindly sent someone to Qingzhou City to invite a few famous tour guides to entertain him, so Yang Laosi took a group of brothers down the mountain.
There was a person standing next to the gate of the town. Seeing Qin Sanlang coming, he turned around and entered the town.
Qin Sanlang knew what to do and led Yang Laosi and the others into the town, but followed the man secretly.
"Which family is treating?" asked the maid.
"Why do you care about so much?" Qiu'er said. If she didn't take on business, she would immediately move out the small attic to someone. As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes straightened up and stared at one of the people in the corner of the street.
"It's in the restaurant in front, but it's not easy for me to go in. I stayed in the side hall with brothers Liu San and brothers Zhang Hu. After all, I occasionally go to Qingzhou City to be familiar with those exciting people."
"Hahaha," Yang Laosi laughed. Young and rich, can you not be flirted with?
This statement is normal. After all, they are bandits and they are serious businessmen.
"It's better to do business, not like us," Yang Laosi said bitterly after laughing.
"That may not be the case. The business is not that easy to do. In fact, actually..."
"What actually?"
"Have you heard about the case of Dong Zhi and Zhao Du?"
"Dong Zhi and Zhao Du's head case?"
Yang Laosi and his subordinates came over and told him about the case.
"If someone like Zhao Dutou is killed, it will be killed, and it will be very satisfying. Brother Yang, you don't know. After hearing that Zhao Dutou was killed, many people in Dong Zhi put on lights and decorated their colors, just like the Lantern Festival."
Qin Sanlang said this and happened to pass by the window where Qiu'er was, which made Qiu'er hear it.
She had no intention of taking care of Zhao Du's head, and was covering the mouth of the maid beside her.
These people were not good people at first glance, and Qin Wulang was originally in the same group as these people. Of course, Qiu'er didn't know that Qin Wulang was not called Qin Wulang, but changed to Qin Sanlang. The medicinal materials merchant also changed to private salt merchants. The group entered the restaurant, and a servant came over and shouted to several beautiful and exciting sons: "The person is here, the person is here, go in quickly."
Several excitons put down the tea in their hands and prepared to go into the restaurant.
Qiu'er asked, "Are they the people just now?"
"Yes, I'll be very good at serving you." After the servant said that, he took out a small bag from his pocket, which contained a lot of precious jewelry. Each exciter emitted some jewelry. He did not send money, but he liked these exciters more than giving money. Some exciters acted coquettishly on the spot.
However, Qiu'er's mind was in a mess. Can she still go in? She changed her name, but Qin Wulang didn't know, but once she entered, she would definitely recognize her. At this time, she remembered the words of the fortune teller.
"Remember one thing: when there is a big trouble, you must leave immediately."
"It's a disaster that you just left. As long as you leave, you will finally be safe."
"Go!" she thought to herself.
So he stood up and said, "Brother, I suddenly have a menstrual cycle."
"You're still here for menstruation, and you're looking for death."
"I don't know either, it suddenly came."
"Unfortunate, unfortunate, get out of here." The servant said angrily.
"Yes, yes," Qiu'er immediately called on the coachman and left Longpan Town.
"Madam, why don't you report to the official?"
"They came to Longpan Town to have fun and have fun. What role did they play in Longpan Town report to officials? They went to Qingzhou City to report to officials."
Qiu'er returned to Qingzhou City and reported the case immediately.
The fortune teller didn't say anything about the section, and it had nothing to do with the case, but there was more to it. Besides, the other person was kind-hearted, Sun Mian frowned after hearing this. He sent someone to call Zhang Qi and asked him to take someone to Longpan Town to arrest people.
But the yamen runners passed by, and they had fun and had fun, so they had already returned to the mountain. After Zhang Qing asked, they all got Yang Laosi's name. This was a bit troublesome, but the case was important, and there was still a case that had no clues. He immediately handed over the jewelry obtained by the excitement and sent the yamen runners to Dong Zhi to ask Zhao's mother to identify it. Then he returned to Qingzhou City.
Zhao's mother took her to Qingzhou City and burst into tears when she saw the jewelry.
Now both cases have a good eye.
There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that Hu Qian and others did, because Wu Kui is Dong Zhiren.
Maybe Wu Kui took Hu Qian to sneak into Dong Zhi first, found a friend from his fellow countrymen, first killed Zhao Dutou, plundered the wealth, and then came to Qingzhou to lure Li Yuanwai and his son. He captured Hu Qian himself, and the friend Qin Wulang fled into the mountains in fear and defected to Yang Laosi and his gang.
But there is one problem that cannot be avoided, that is time.
The information Hu Qian confessed to inquire was Wang Ju's comprehensive memories of his previous life, Li Sangou's memories, as well as the news Wang Ju got in Huachi County, and Yao Sing's report. Even Sun Mian did not have this detailed information.
Zhang Qi didn't expect that Wang Ju went through so much trouble for Hu Qian, so this question could not be avoided. These people must have sneaked into the enemy territory to inquire, otherwise there would be no such information. So what about their time for committing the crime?
There were no new doubts in the past, so all doubts pointed to Hu Qian. Now there are new doubts, and this problem cannot be ignored.
There is another possibility that the two cases have nothing to do with Hu Qian at all, and that was done by Yang Si and his gang. Maybe Li Yuanwai had a grudge, and someone defected to Yang Si and got Yang Si's heavy use. So Yang Si helped him and lured Li Yuanwai, which led to these two cases.
In fact, the case of the Zhao family doesn’t matter, it’s mainly the case of the Li family. Their influence in the city is too bad.
But the Li family did not do much evil than Zhao Dutou, but there were so many evils. God knew who he had offended? This was not easy to investigate.
After thinking about it, Zhang Feng had to come up with two solutions. The first method was to turn his attention to Dong Zhi and send someone to investigate Wu Kui's usual friends and those who made enemies with Zhao Dutou. This person also knew some medical skills in order to find out the Qin Wulang. He was the key figure in the case. He found it and the two cases were solved together.
The second method is to send officers and soldiers to the mountains to suppress bandits. As long as Yang Laosi is caught, the two cases can also be solved.
So he went to pay homage to Sun Mian and expressed his future intentions.
"Going into the mountains to suppress bandits, Zhang Zhifu, do you know how big Ziwu Mountain is?" Sun Mian said angrily: "If you lead more troops, you will definitely be alarmed. No one can be found. If you bring fewer troops, you will be wiped out. If you don't have them properly, you will be wiped out. Can you afford this responsibility?"
However, Sun Mian suddenly pointed out that it was Zhang Shi's military achievements.
Zhang Feng said without rushingly: "Mr. Sun, don't have to be so troublesome. This person is in Longpan Town, and Longpan Town must have his familiar eyeliner. Moreover, his range of activities is about Ziwu Mountain in Huachi, Longpan and the three counties of Zhiluo in Fuzhou. Sun Gong sent orders the magistrates of Huachi and Longpan to send people to visit, and then write to Cheng Gong, asking him to ask the magistrates of Zhiluo to cooperate. After exploring the detailed information, the three counties sent troops, and the bandits would inevitably be arrested and brought to justice. Moreover, according to the news that Xiaguan heard, Yang Si usually does many evil deeds. If they don't do these two cases, they will also send people to suppress the bandits."
Sun Mian hesitated, and Zhang Shi said again: "If Sun Gong is worried, the officials will come to supervise the bandit suppression, otherwise the officials will be powerless in these two accumulated cases."
