"Captain Gao, Commander Zhang is the commander of the Forbidden Army and your subordinate. If this is to be punished, Commander Gao should do it himself. It is not suitable for me to interfere."
Tengfu Yin was a little angry when he saw that Gao Qiu was still messing around. Gao Qiu, a naughty and idle guy on the street, had not changed his temper. He would go on his own if he wanted to take revenge, and he also wanted to blame others for the incident.
"This is a murder case, of course it is under the control of Teng Fuyin."
Gao Qiu patted the table and said, "It's easy to kill a coach, but it's troublesome to deal with it. Doing it yourself is even more troublesome. Coach Zhang is still an old coach in the Forbidden Army. He has a good reputation in the Forbidden Army. After Wang Jin's incident, the Forbidden Army officers were He was already very dissatisfied. If he attacked Coach Zhang this time, it would be difficult for him to be a lieutenant. Although he was a lieutenant and was in charge of the imperial army, after all, he had just taken up the post with a shallow foundation and a rogue background and did not know much about military affairs. Many things still depend on the soldiers of the Forbidden Army.
"Captain Gao, to put it bluntly, this has caused a commotion all over the city. Now the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have come in. Your Majesty will definitely come to court tomorrow to ask questions. Now there are many rumors about Gao Yanei's past actions among the people. Shi Tai will not sit idly by and I advise Captain Gao not to make the matter a big deal. The murderer has already been found. If Captain Gao is afraid of being slow, he can send his own people to chase the murderer."
Teng Fuyin pushed Sun Lei's portrait to Gao Qiu. This matter has been investigated clearly, so it should be followed the procedure instead of following Gao Qiu's mischievous behavior. Kaifeng Mansion is not Gao Qiu's White Tiger Festival Hall.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Teng."
Gao Qiu had no choice but to take the portrait and leave. He originally wanted to pester him more and force Teng Fu Yin to arrest the person as soon as possible, but when Teng Fu Yin said that the matter was getting serious and he had already reached the emperor, he finally came to his senses. If the things that his son did were spread, he would inevitably be scolded and criticized by the imperial censors and civil servants. What the civil servants in the court liked most was to watch them and the military attaches participating in the performance.
Returning to the Taiwei's Mansion, Gao Qiu sighed. His son had been killed and the murderer had not been caught. He didn't know what to do when he went to court tomorrow.
"Or just pretend to be sick, say that your son is dead, and become depressed."
In the end, Gao Qiu only thought of this common method used by scoundrels. Now he would pretend to be pitiful and not be criticized. He would then think about revenge when the matter was over.
"Come here, hasn't Lin Chong been escorted to Cangzhou? Let Lu Qian kill him. As long as you come with Lin Chong's head, I will make him the envoy of the Palace Commander's Mansion."
Gao Qiu summoned the old governor and told him that since Sun Lei and Zhang could not be caught for the time being, they could only vent their anger by killing Lin Chong first.
…
Sun Lei arrived all the way to Jeju. Along the way, he deliberately avoided big cities and took small roads. He settled in some villages and towns, but he was not pursued by officers and soldiers.
The ancient method of arresting criminals was very stupid. When issuing arrest warrants in Tokyo, they must first go to various streets, then to the prefecture, and finally from the prefecture to the county. As for those below the county level, you can only listen. The villages, towns and villages are too scattered, and it is impossible to post arrest warrants. There are not even official officials below the county level. They are only managed by some non-staff members of the county gentry and large households. There is no hope of arresting criminals. The only one we can rely on is the head of the county government. He led police officers to patrol and arrest people everywhere, but a county is so big and the roads are difficult to walk. A larger county may not be able to complete the patrol in a month. It is nonsense to rely on them to patrol and arrest people. Most of them just go through the motions and perfunctoryly, so Even though there were wanted criminals all over the country, few of them could be caught.
When he saw the place, Sun Lei drove his carriage to find an inn in the village and stayed there.
"Sister-in-law, we've arrived."
Sun Lei got off the carriage and said to Zhang.
Zhang opened the car curtain and felt a little timid looking at a strange place. She had been in Tokyo and had never traveled far. The strange accent on the street made her very nervous, especially knowing that she was also wanted, so she did not dare to raise her head. He whispered to Sun Lei.
"Uncle, why don't you find a place where no one is around to stay? The slave family can be in the carriage."
Ever since she learned that she was also wanted, Zhang was very afraid of seeing people and worried about being recognized, so she kept hiding in the carriage.
"Sister-in-law, what's so scary about this? The portraits are like that. I can't even recognize who those people are, let alone outsiders. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"
Sun Lei patted his chest and promised.
After a long while, Mrs. Zhang got off the carriage with Jin'er's help, but her face was covered with a silk scarf.
"My dear lady, do you want to stay in a hotel or have a meal?"
When the waiter saw a guest coming, he hurriedly greeted him and asked enthusiastically.
"Stay in the hotel, get two rooms, my sister is not feeling well, get a quiet room! And bring a table of wine and food!"
Sun Lei took out a piece of silver and threw it to the waiter. Mrs. Zhang was afraid of seeing people, so she could only eat the meal in the room.
"Okay, guest officer, please come upstairs!"
The waiter shouted smartly, without the title of official lady. Sun Lei's words already indicated that they were a brother and sister. Sun Lei looked young, and Zhang looked older, wearing women's hair accessories. , which is completely in line with the characters of siblings. In this era, men generally did not marry women older than themselves.
After staying in the inn for a night, Sun Lei found out the way and then drove the carriage on the road again.
After leaving the official road, the road became deserted again, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Mrs. Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, opened the side curtain and looked at the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, her face was slightly sad, and she wiped tears from time to time.
"Sister-in-law, why are you doing this? The body belongs to you, and even my stupid brother won't be able to see it if I cry too much."
Sun Lei said helplessly, Mrs. Zhang is always like this these days, crying silently. If this goes on for a long time, she may become depressed and sick.
"Uncle, do you think he is okay?"
Mrs. Zhang sobbed and asked Sun Lei in a low voice.
"I guess it's good. He will definitely not die with Master Lu here. Now he might be able to drink and eat meat in the Cangzhou military camp and be alive. Don't worry. He is so big that he won't starve to death."
Sun Lei answered casually.
After listening to Sun Lei's words, Mrs. Zhang was even more sad. She missed him day and night and her heart broke into eight pieces, but in the end, the man drank and ate meat happily.
"So, it's useless no matter how sad you are. Lin Chong should be eating and drinking. I advise my sister-in-law to think of something happy. For example, I will become the king of the mountain. My sister-in-law wants to congratulate me. .”
Sun Lei said with a smile. Mrs. Zhang couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. Is it worthy of congratulations for falling off the grass and becoming the king of Kou? This is the crime of beheading, but when I think about it, she and Sun Lei are both wanted criminals. If they don't fall off the grass, it will also be the end of beheading. The more I think about it, the more Zhang feels sorry for Sun Lei. If he hadn't caused this unreasonable disaster, he would have It won't harm Sun Lei and turn him into a bandit.
After walking along the path for another two days, we finally arrived at a fishing village. The village was not big, with only a few dozen thatched huts. It was surrounded by lush trees. The village was surrounded by several small rivers. There were only a few small rivers surrounding the village. Small roads can lead to the village, but fortunately there is a road that is relatively wide and can carry horse-drawn carriages.
The village is full of fishermen who make a living by fishing. There are fishing nets hanging out around the village, and dried fish can be seen everywhere. As soon as you get close to the village, you will feel a fishy smell.
"Shijie Village, we have finally arrived."
Sun Lei looked at the stone tablet at the entrance of the village and knew he had found his location.
Next to Shijie Village is Shijie Lake and Liangshan Lake. Most of the villagers make a living by fishing. The village in front of them is a bit dilapidated and does not seem to be that wealthy. This is the same as what Sun Lei heard.
On the other side of the village, there are many fishing boats parked on the other side of the lake. There seem to be many people bustling on them. If you look closely, you can see that they are selling fish. There are also several hotels on the shore with wine sails and people drinking. There are quite a few, that should be Shijie Town.
"drive!"
Sun Lei flicked the horse's reins and drove the carriage into Shijie Village.
Carriage is considered to be the most luxurious means of transportation in this era. Those who can ride in this kind of car must be rich or noble. Shijie Village is just a poor fishing village. Many people have never left the village in their lives and have never seen such a luxurious carriage.
Many people in the farmyard looked at the carriage entering the village and whispered about what the carriage was for. No family in Shijie Village had such rich relatives and friends.
