The officer smiled when he saw the bloody battlefield and said: "These seedlings are really good at fighting! It was quite lively on the boat just now! They also know the art of war!".
The clerk next to him was so frightened that his hands and feet were weak. Fortunately, the two guards could still stand and each stretched out a hand to support him, so he did not collapse to the ground. After all, there are rolling heads, broken limbs, and even organs on the ground at this time! There was even a large amount of blood spread on the ground, it was basically a Shura field!
The officer raised his head and shouted loudly: "Which of you is in charge, come out and answer the question!"
Jiayin quickly threw the Miao Dao to the person next to him, stepped forward and saluted and said, "My lord, my name is Jiayin, and he is the leader of this group of people!
The officer looked him up and down and said, "You're quite young!" Moreover, he has a rare flexibility of mind and knows how to use ambushes! Are they Miao people? Are they the Miao people in the village or the Miao people in the plains? 「
Jiayin said: "Back to the official, I am a Miao from the village!" 「
After he said this, he saw the officer's obviously gloomy expression, so he immediately added: "But my mother is Han, and she was married into our village!" "
The officer's face softened when he heard this, but he still said in time: "Boy, I have no prejudice against the Miao people! It's just that the Miao people who live in the mountains are too stubborn and only accept death. There are some things that they can't explain! People like you A lot of things can be said easily!"
Jiayin felt that there was something vaguely pointed in his words, but he couldn't think through it yet. However, he still followed the officer's words and said, "What the officer said is that people in the mountains are stubborn, but it's still the same thing!"
The officer did not continue on this topic, but pointed to the messy scene and said: "Under the Ming Dynasty's government, you two groups openly fought here. You should know what the crime was, right?"
Hearing the officer's words, the other sailors laughed maliciously and slowly began to gather together. Seeing this, the Miao people gathered together one after another and began to confront each other intentionally or unintentionally.
Jiayin knew very well that he could not fight against the government because the power gap was too great! So he waved his hands to the two leaders, Zaidan, and told them to stay quiet and make no other moves. Then he turned back and said: "Master, we are not fighting with weapons! The people we were fighting just now were a group of private salt dealers!"
The officer's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he sneered and said, "You said they are private salt dealers, right? You have to ask me to find out!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several sailors rushed up and dragged the injured Salt Owl in front of him and began to interrogate him carefully. These salt lords also know that if they are caught, they will die, so they deny it tenaciously and firmly deny that they are private salt dealers! He just said that he got the news and came to buy salt! But it was Cai Yin and the others who wanted to monopolize the salt that caused the conflict! Only two people who knew that they would die from serious injuries simply admitted their identities as salt owl.
Jiayin was so angry that he went crazy and was about to confront him, when another person suddenly appeared behind the officer. But the clothes this man was wearing were something Jiayin had never seen before. They were tight-fitting clothes! And he was certain that this must be the uniform of an official, but he didn’t know what official it was! But this outfit still looks great on me!
But this person's condition is not good! My steps are sloppy and wobbly when I walk! Looking further at his face, he looked pale, with dark circles under his eyes and sunken cheeks, looking like a sick man! But I still have retching from time to time! When I saw this situation, I added the sound and realized that this person was seasick!
I saw this man swaying his body as he walked up to the officer, saluted, and said in a weak tone: "Sir, what happened here?"
The navy officer returned the salute curtly and said, "Are you feeling better today? Are you still vomiting?"
This man was just retching at first, but the officer's word "vomiting" aroused his nausea again. He bent over and retched twice before he stood up!
When the officer saw this, he couldn't help but laugh twice with schadenfreude, but he took this opportunity to look at the clerk. At this time, the scribe had passed the most difficult moment and could straighten up and look at the bloody battlefield in front of him.
He saw the officer's eyes naturally looking back, and saw the officer's brows raised towards the battlefield.
, he understood immediately! So instantly he felt that he was no longer afraid and became more courageous! He pushed away the two officers who were supporting him, took a step forward while holding on to his belt, and said loudly: "Stop talking now! This is the boundary of our county, and they are all citizens of our county. It is up to me to ask questions." ask!"
When the officer saw that the clerk understood, he took a step back, as if he could not interfere with the matter in front of him, and shook his head helplessly at Jiayin!
Although Jiayin said that he was more knowledgeable than other Miao people, after all, he was just living at the bottom of society and had no understanding of official affairs at all! So when he saw the officer shaking his head regretfully at him, his heart skipped a beat.
At this time, he heard the scribe shout directly to him: "Your name is Cai Yin? Where do you live?"
Jiayin knew that this person should be a figure in the county government, and he didn't dare to offend him! So he told the location of his own village, including the name of the village and the clan leader.
The clerk thought for a while and said: "According to the position you mentioned, you should not be from this county. But when you arrive in this county, you should keep your peace. How can you fight with others? Look at how many people were killed and injured. The peaceful atmosphere of the county has been destroyed by you!"
Jiayin said aggrievedly: "Sir, we are not fighting privately! These people are private traffickers. According to national law, these people have committed capital crimes! We can count them as meritorious by killing them!"
Just listen to the clerk say angrily: "A merit? What merit? You should report this kind of thing to the government, and the government will arrest them! But you just arrest people and kill them privately, do you take the government seriously?" If everyone just kills people casually, what’s the point of having a government?”
Then Balabala said a long series of words that made Jiayin dizzy! Although he didn't understand it, he felt that what the clerk said was very reasonable. He seemed to have made some mistake, but he didn't know what mistake he made yet!
After the scribe finally finished speaking, Jiayin said cautiously: "Sir, how should we deal with this matter? Isn't it a violation of national law?"
The clerk said: "You said they were smuggling salt, but they didn't admit it! There is no evidence, and the county government can't give in! You have to know that according to the Ming Dynasty law, murder must be punished with life! The matter is so big now. , even this officer will be implicated!"
