Are you thinking about escaping? Or something? Or did you make a grudge in prison and want to take revenge first when you get the chance to come out?
Anyway, it’s just about fighting “one’s own” and facing the enemy at the same time.
In short, the fight was a mess.
After Di Ying figured out the key, he stopped investigating the case.
Instead, he asked the government servant to take him on a trip to the outermost foothills of the mountains.
Peng Liang asked for instructions and wanted to go into the mountain to feel the terrain and the situation of the bandits.
Di Ying shook her head to stop him.
There are thousands of bandits, and there are many traps and dangers inside. In addition, the mountain is steep and precipitous. It is really impossible for Peng Liang to go in and take risks alone.
But if we cannot know ourselves and our enemies, there is no way to successfully carry out the anti-bandit operation.
The lessons learned several times are right in front of our eyes.
Even if Guan Jie is greedy, the soldiers who came to suppress the bandits are not all idiots.
The number of garrison troops outside Fuzhou, He'anzhou, Ezhou, Jingzhou, and Yuezhou is 50,000.
Who is the commander in charge of the army?
Yang Zaixuan!
Yang Zaixuan is Yang Wei's younger brother.
Yang Wei was the one who went around trying to persuade celebrities from all over the world to serve the imperial court, and then killed them. The person who only tried his best to flatter His Majesty but did nothing, but could still rise in the imperial court and achieve great success.
Because he was so favored by His Majesty, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, and Di Ying was unable to deal with him.
Di Ying really hates people who exist like "political brokers".
As Cheng Ting said: A person who can do nothing but talk.
Yang Wei can be regarded as an example.
As for Yang Zaixuan, it was better. I heard that he also achieved numerous military exploits and then fought his way to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Army.
He can be regarded as a talented general.
Di Ying paced back and forth in the official room.
Wei knew how far the five escaped criminals must have traveled and how far they had traveled. There is no time to catch them now. Di Ying still needs to consider the crimes they committed.
Because within their cases, there are only a few cases and a few transactions. There was no way for Di Ying to confirm whether the crimes they committed were true.
Thinking of the corpses that I had examined and were still lying in the empty field outside, I could tell from the marks on their bodies that at least seventeen of the twenty-some dead bandits were killed by that Five people were killed.
As for the other dead prisoners, no traces of their actions were found on the bodies of the five of them.
In other words: Those five people only attacked the robbers and then fled.
But the dead jailer, Bimeng, was killed by a method and the marks of the weapon showed that it was carried out by one of the five people.
why?
Bi Meng let them go in order to deal with the bandits, but why did he get killed instead? And the five people who only killed him were not one of the bandits?
It’s very special, there’s always a reason, right?
No matter what it is, the clearest clue now points directly to the group of bandits, so they must be suppressed first.
Although they never deal with the poor, they are also suspected of forcing good people to go up the mountain. Moreover, they massacred the county government officials. This was a capital crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
Where can we mobilize troops?
Looking for Yang Zaixuan?
Di Ying himself breathed out a breath.
He didn't want Yang Wei to follow the stick after hitting the snake.
Then look for...
Cheng Ting! !
Cheng Ting's current distance from him was not much further away than Yang Zaixuan's.
But the troops are being mobilized in a different place, there is no tiger talisman, there is no imperial edict... you are seeking death!
Di Ying twisted the tip of her nose.
An idea came to mind.
After a while, he ordered the guards to bury the dead bodies in the wild graves of the mass graves without the help of their relatives.
Then he took Peng Liang and went to Hu Sha's home.
Visiting his old mother and young brother Hu Ming.
Don't think wrongly, Di Ying will not use his family as a threat to force Hu Sha to surrender.
First, it is unkind, and second, if it was useful, Guan Jie would have done it long ago. A greedy official like Guan Jie won't have too many worries.
Di Ying just wanted to have a good talk with Hu's mother and Hu Ming.
…
However, although Di Ying did not think wrongly, some people did.
In the mountains, in a mountain village on a steep peak.
Hu Ming, who was rescued by Hu Sha, wanted to go home.
"Brother, can you please be reasonable? I don't care what you do, and neither does mother. But you can't lock me here. I want to go home, and mother is still waiting for me to come home and take care of me."
After hearing this, Hu Sha waved his big hand and sat down on the big tiger leather chair, one foot on the chair and one elbow on the bent knee.
He said to his younger brother very impressively: "What do you mean about taking care of your mother? How can you take care of your mother in the dungeon? Now that I let you go back, do you think the government won't arrest you again?"
In order to save you this time, we have already killed and injured dozens of brothers. Do you want to go back? If you go back and get arrested again, how many of our brothers' lives are enough for you?
Is this the temperament of you scholars? Isn't it just taking other people's lives as your own and casually taking them for yourself?
According to the elder brother, if you are like this, don't study any more, take any imperial examinations, or become an official. From now on you will definitely be just like the bastard corrupt officials like Guan Ba, and you will be part of the harm to our poor people.
I won't bother to chop you down then. Just stay on the mountain honestly! "
These words made Hu Ming speechless. In order to save him this time, there were indeed heavy casualties, and all the very bad criminals in the dungeon also ran away. This is a very big disaster.
Can……
Hu Ming thought of something and immediately defended himself: "I asked you to save me? Did I ask you to lead people into the county government, massacre innocent people, and let the criminals go? Guan Jie arrested me not to arrest you? If you hadn't become a gangster, would I have been implicated? Could my mother have been implicated by you?
You still have the nerve to blame me? Besides, there's nothing wrong with me staying in there. As long as you don't show up, Guan Jie can't do anything to me. You want to rescue me in this way and then force me to go up the mountain, right?
I went up the mountain, we all went up the mountain, what should the mother at home do? You harming the county government is a capital crime for treason and a capital crime for all nine clans. My mother will not survive! "
"My lord, let me see who dares to touch a hair of my mother's head!"
As soon as Hu Sha heard this, he stood up as soon as he slapped his knees. The beard on his face seemed to be standing on end, and his beard grew angry.
Hu Sha was actually angry because his mother was really too stubborn. Mother didn't know that she had become the king of the mountain. If she had known, she would have gone with a piece of white silk. Want her to go into the mountains? There is no door.
But her not going into the mountains is the biggest constraint on him, Hu Sha.
