Chapter 2917
Chapter 2917
"My Lord, I ran five." The two teams of soldiers and horses closed together. After statistics, it was found that five people ran away.
Bai Shan: "where have you been?"
The soldiers pointed to the village, where a group of people with hoes and sticks were gathered. They just saw that there were many soldiers here with knives and bows, so they didn't dare to come forward.
Of course, it's not easy for the soldiers to rush in and get people. What if the villagers have something good or bad?
Bai Shan turned to look at Sun Lichang.
Sun Lichang stepped out of the line trembling. He could only take the lead and persuade the villagers, "villagers, this is the county magistrate. They came here to arrest the bandits. You, you can't resist arrest."
The crowd became restless, and many people looked suspiciously at the same village on the side, "did your son steal and rob?"
The other party turned pale and 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 asked them to go back to the county government for investigation. If it's false, I'll naturally let them go."
"Can the county government release people if they catch them?"
Zhou man couldn't help muttering, "how bad is the reputation of the county yamen? Living in a cell also requires money. Why don't you feed a group of innocent people when you're full?"
Bai Shan glanced at her and said to the villagers, "if they are innocent, what will the county do with them? Can't the county government pay for food and drink every day? "
Someone whispered, "to ask for money with us?"
Bai Shan heard it and said impolitely, "the county was born in an aristocratic family and has great wealth. Don't say you're just a family. Even your whole village, the county doesn't like it."
The villagers seemed to have an arrow in their chest. Although they relaxed a little, they were still very uncomfortable.
Bai Shan said, "hand over the people, or the county will investigate your anti arrest behavior."
Although the villagers hesitated, they didn't go away.
Can he catch them all?
Bai Shan saw this, his face sank, turned to one side of sun Lichang and said, "write down the names of those who don't want to retreat, and deduct all the grain, farm tools, cattle and disaster relief in the future."
Sun Lichang widened his eyes, "this..."
"Confrontation with the county government and shielding the bandits have added burden and disaster to the country and the surrounding people. The county has been forgiven for not asking for a crime, but it always has to pay a price." Bai Shan narrowed his eyes and threatened the villagers who had been in some confusion. He said in a deep voice, "if anyone dares to hurt an official, he will be taken down and become a criminal."
Some people in the crowd retreated one after another, and some went home directly with a hoe.
Dongyu village is different from Dajing village and Xiaojing village. There are too many bandits in those two villages, and there are also many people who know the truth, so they both have a sense of banditry.
Dongyuzhuang village is large, involving fewer families and fewer people who know the truth.
They are willing to help because of their village and various relatives, but they can't toss themselves into prison.
Finally, Bai Shan caught the five people hiding in the village.
Then they kept going to another village to catch people.
There are fewer suspects in that village, so Bai Shan doesn't need the policy of luring the enemy. He directly asks the soldiers to surround the village, and then calmly go in and catch people.
Unfortunately, some people were not in the village when they were arrested, so they didn't catch anyone. Plus the two who escaped last night, a total of eight people didn't catch them.
Bai Shan asked Dong county captain to take 20 people to stay and look for the arrested people, while he took the army to escort the arrested people back to the county first.
He said to Dong county lieutenant, "we have arrested so many people with great fanfare. Now the relationship between the government and the people is afraid to be very tense, so you should pay attention not to disturb the people."
He said, "you'll visit for three days. If they haven't come back after three days and you don't find anyone, there's no need to keep it."
Dong county Lieutenant should go down.
Bai Shan returned to the county government because he had too many people to arrest, so that he could not afford to live in so many places. He made two rooms in the county's front yard to close the rest of the people, and sent people to clean up the city outside Town God's Temple, leaving the remaining people in Town God's Temple.
The number of people arrested was the largest in Beihai County in recent years, so when people were escorted into the city, many people stood by the roadside curiously.
It's said that it's a bandit. The people are still incredible, "we have bandits in Beihai county?"
"Never heard of it."
"I think they are similar to us. Is there a mistake?"
"Don't you just say that the county magistrate wronged people for political achievements and military achievements?"
"I didn't say that. You said that."
"I said as I said, I also said it was impossible. If you falsely claimed military merit, why should you escort people back alive and kill them directly? Wouldn't it be better to hang their heads and report them?"
"What else? What does your husband do and have such insight? "
"No, just a storyteller in a restaurant."
There was a lot of discussion. A yamen came out with gongs and drums and said loudly, "my Lord said that we will have a trial in the county yamen tomorrow. You can watch it when you are free. You should think about what you should do as a man in your spare time..."
The Yamen officer paused for a moment. He really couldn't remember what the county magistrate said. He didn't tangle at all. Anyway, we'll know when we go tomorrow.
When Bai returned to the County Hall, he found Zhao Wu. "You stare at the cell and Town God's Temple outside the city to see their reaction. Not all of them are prisoners. We have to screen them out. "
Zhao Wu was entrusted with an important task for the first time and was pleasantly surprised, "Sir, shall I go alone?"
Bai Shan: "call your brother and you'll be responsible for talking."
Zhao Wu's chatter is famous in the county's Yamen. Bai Shan thinks he can compete with man Bao, so he is sent to be better than the Yamen of the faction.
Zhao Wu:
He looked at the adult. Finally, he silently took the task and went to find his brother.
The arrested people behaved differently, including those who were strong in self composure, those who were full of resentment and those who cried bitterly.
Zhao Wu turned around and couldn't help but talk to those crying people, "what are you crying about? Why don't you cry when you rob people? You killed people. "
The other party saw Zhao Wu squatting in front of the cell and talking to him. Somehow, his tears flowed more fiercely, "I didn't rob. I was wronged. I stole a chicken in a nearby village at most. How dare I rob?"
Zhao Wu asked him, "whose chicken have you stolen?"
When Zhao Wen saw that he had just opened the topic, he couldn't help drawing corners of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the look of the speaker.
The other party obviously choked and stopped crying. "Do you want to go to jail for stealing chickens?"
"Yes," said Zhao Wu, "my Lord said some time ago. What can't you do because evil things are too small..."
Zhao Wen: "don't do it because it's small."
"Yes, that's it, brother. You have a good memory."
Zhao Wen ignored him.
