His name is Geng Xin. According to the living government officials, this man was very diligent in his duties and very poor. He doesn't know where the bonuses given to him by the prisoners, their relatives, and the prison boss went.
It is a well-known habit: when prisoners are imprisoned, they will be searched. After being locked up, if you want to live a better life, you have to get things.
Where are the prisoners’ relatives? Want to visit? Take the silver.
Neither the jailers nor the cell boss will keep it to themselves, but will share it with everyone. The cell leader occupies a large portion, and the jailers occupy a small portion. Times are not hard.
And this is customary.
Therefore, the yamen servant who said this did not feel any psychological pressure at all.
Di Ying won't care about this.
You can't control it even if you want to.
If you take care of it, the bright ones will become darker and you will become more carefree.
No matter, this kind of behavior will also have a habitual restraint. Not too much.
As long as the person is not released or killed after receiving the money, that will be fine. This is their sense of proportion.
If the limit is imposed, this sense of proportion will no longer exist. Because earning silver has become hard to come by.
In short: it’s just that I can’t study it in detail.
At this time, a government official was brought in.
He came in and reported: "Master Di, there is a group of mountains between Yongquan County and Huajian County. The terrain is very complex and dangerous. There are a group of mountain bandits living in it all year round.
A small estimate: The attack on the county government office this time should be their handiwork. Because Hu Ming, the young brother of the bandit leader, was arrested four days ago by the order of the county magistrate and was thrown into death row.
But there is no case and no specific charges. It is only said that Hu Ming is a relative of the bandits and must be the bandits' internal agent in the county, so he was captured.
Those who died and the younger ones also checked, and there was no one named Hu Ming among them. He must have been rescued. "
Di Ying listened to this man's logical and logical words without a word of nonsense, and looked at him approvingly.
Then he said to the other party kindly: "Tell me more about it."
And raised his hand to signal the other party to sit down.
Only then did the other party twist his waist awkwardly. After looking at the chair on the side, he didn't go over and sit down. Instead, he stood up and told the story about the bandits.
"Mr. Di, let me tell you the truth. Our county boss, Guan Jie, is a corrupt official, and a big corrupt official. You see, our Yongquan County is so poor, and he still scratches the ground.
But after all, it was his greed that led to today's situation. The former Yongquan County was actually pretty good. At least there was no such thing as forcing people to go up the mountain to become bandits.
The county magistrate served in Yongquan County for five years. In the second year, there were bandits in the mountains. The first one is called Hu Sha. His youngest brother is called Hu Ming.
Hu Sha took a group of people who could not survive and made the mountain his queen. He also took his family into the mountain. However, his old mother and his young brother did not follow him.
His old mother didn't know that he was a bandit, and Hu Sha didn't dare to let her know, otherwise he would be beaten to death.
His younger brother knew about it, but was unwilling to follow his brother to fool around. Hu Ming was studying, but he only wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official. The two brothers had a falling out.
Hu Ming happened to stay at home to take care of their mother.
Their father had died of illness long ago, and their five brothers were all raised by their mother. The other three, Hu Shui, Hu Shi, and Hu Xi, all followed Hu Sha up the mountain to fight for the bandits.
Only occasionally, they would quietly go down the mountain and go home to give their mother and younger brother some money or other things. However, they were all thrown out by his younger brother.
The neighbors knew about the Hu family and moved far away from his home. No one dared to pick up the objects or money thrown out.
The reason why we know it was Hu Sha who led the bandit is because when he first robbed businessmen in the past, the county magistrate received a report. He also contacted government offices and garrison troops to mobilize troops to suppress bandits.
However, each time they suffered heavy casualties and failed to succeed.
Hu Sha even shouted in person, so everyone knew that he was the bandit leader.
The only official road between Yongquan County and Huajian County was their main target of robbery. They were quite measured at first, only robbing goods and money but not killing people.
Later, he started killing rich or powerful people. Or they tied people up the mountain and extorted ransom, or even kidnapped women up the mountain.
But the poor people were not touched.
If the poor pass by that official road, or even go into the mountains to cut wealth or hunt, they will not move.
Some rich people were robbed or killed, and their families wanted to take revenge on Husha's mother and younger brother. But all failed.
Hu Sha sent people to protect his relatives in the county. Once those people take revenge, Hu Sha will kill them all.
After that, no one dared to attack his mother and younger brother.
They were all frightened by Hu Sha's cruelty and cruelty.
However, more and more poor people came to the mountains to seek refuge with him.
At present, the number of bandits on the mountain is estimated to be in the thousands.
Hu Sha did not rob the rich and give to the poor. He may have felt that as long as he did not help the people, more people who could not survive would turn to him. "
After hearing this, Di Ying nodded slightly.
Among the dead, there were twenty-six people. They were all dressed in black and had beards, and they were uniform. Therefore, they were undoubtedly members of the robbers.
Some of them were beaten to death by palms, some were killed by weapons, and some were kicked to death.
But here comes the problem.
From the gate to the first iron door of the dungeon, within fifty meters, there were the bodies of the robbers. None of the rest of the places.
Based on the calculation of everyone's death time, that is to say: those robbers died after robbing the dungeon.
Everyone on the ground and in the county government was killed. Except for the two jailers, there were only serious prisoners and death row prisoners in the dungeon.
Then who killed the robbers?
Are they those felons or death row prisoners?
After all, those dungeon doors, except for the one where Silly Gengxin was locked, were all opened, and all the prisoners ran out.
But most of them are dead.
The state of death is also unique.
There are only five people, and like Wei Zhi, no one is seen alive and no body is seen dead.
So, can we speculate on this?
When the robbers attacked outside the iron gate of the dungeon, the two jailors opened all the cages in panic and released the prisoners. What promise did they make to repel the bandits?
This is most likely, right?
The prisoners must also be very happy.
What a chance to escape?
However, some of the prisoners were killed by the bandits' weapons, and some... seemed to have died from internal strife.
This is reasonable, right?
