After the arrangements were made, Qin Shaoyou turned around and went back to the house, continuing to use the breathing method. At the same time, he turned on the effects of his talents such as [Listening] and [Wonderful Nose] to the maximum, closely monitoring the situation in the dark night, and being wary of the pair of hands hidden in the dark. The eyes will take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
The Marshal Puppet worked very efficiently. It didn't take long for his puppets to capture all the thieves who slipped into the inn without any of them escaping.
Also captured were Yi Cheng and Yi Zu.
At first, Yi Cheng and Yi Zu were very stubborn, insisting that the thieves had nothing to do with them.
It's a pity that this time, they didn't meet ordinary officials.
No need for the red-clothed envoy to resort to tricks, Xue Xiaobao took the lead and released the mantra of "Knowing everything and saying everything" to the Yi Cheng and Yi soldiers who were shouting "innocent".
The tone of Yi Cheng and Yi Zu immediately changed.
Although they still shouted "We are innocent", after they finished shouting, they honestly explained the whole thing: "Yes, we did collude with the bandits, we are in the same group..."
This change made Yi Cheng and Yi Zu feel like they were going crazy.
They couldn't understand why their mouths would not obey their control and revealed all these ulterior secrets.
According to the explanations of the Yi Cheng and the Yi soldiers, they welcome and deliver goods every day. Once they find that the caravan carrying valuable goods and there are no powerful experts to escort them, they will send people to contact the bandits.
The thieves who received the news would rush into the city before the city gates closed, ambush in the city, wait until the dead of night, and then sneak into the inn to kill people and steal goods.
The people inside the inn will secretly put drugs in the caravan's food and drinking water before the operation begins, so that the caravan's clerks and bodyguards will fall asleep. After the thieves sneak in, they can easily kill them all. , to avoid accidents.
The next day, the bandits who have cleaned up the scene will put on caravan outfits, pretend to be caravans, and transport goods and corpses out of the city.
The inn will record that the caravan has left on a certain day in a certain month.
In this way, even if someone investigates afterwards and finds them, it will be difficult to find any problems from the records.
After the thieves left the city, they would find a wasteland and dump the body, leaving it to be eaten by wild dogs. Within a few days, the body would be eaten clean and no one would be able to find it.
As for the goods, they will be sold through stolen goods sales channels, and the proceeds will be divided between the inn.
Before meeting Qin Shaoyou and the others, the Yi Station and the bandits had already robbed and killed several caravans.
After Xue Xiaobao asked about the situation, he happily found Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, told them the situation, then shook his head and commented:
"I only thought there was a black shop in the wilderness. I didn't expect that the inn in the city was also a black shop. However, I didn't find anything like human meat buns in this inn. It seems that their black shop is still a bit unprofessional."
"Return the human flesh buns... Do you want to arrange another dominatrix or gold inlaid jade for you? Don't usually read storytelling books. Who told you that a black shop must make human flesh buns?" Qin Shaoyou paled angrily. Xue Xiaobao glanced at him.
"Yaksha? Gold inlaid jade? Who are those? Experts in running black shops?" Xue Xiaobao asked curiously. Although he was scolded, he was not angry. When Qin Shaoyou ignored him, he asked again: "These thieves and bandits, There are also postmasters who collude with the bandits, how should we deal with them?"
Qin Shaoyou turned to look at Qin Qiaoer.
"Sixth sister, what do you think?"
Qin Qiaoer thought for a while and said, "Send someone to notify the local government and hand the person over to them."
Xue Xiaobao was a little regretful and worried: "Huh? Hand it over to the local government? What if there are accomplices of thieves among the people in the local government?"
Qin Qiaoer laughed dumbly: "Don't you know the power of truth? Use power to interrogate those bandits. Soon you will know if they have any accomplices in the local government? If they do, they will be caught together. Don't worry, if the local government doesn't handle it well, It’s not too late for us to take over.”
Xue Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and he turned around and walked out of the house. As he walked, he said, "Yes, I'm going to interrogate them. My aunt is still smarter, and she is much smarter than my uncle."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he couldn't help but cursed: "You brat, why are you flattering your aunt and trying to step on me?"
Xue Xiaobao, who was restless and loved to join in the fun, went out for a trial and the result was soon obtained.
Although the clerks in the county government execution room did not participate in the robbery and murder of the caravan, they received a lot of filial piety from the postmaster and helped them cover up.
Think about it, you can do something like robbing a caravan once or twice, but it's not easy to do it all the time without being discovered.
Qin Qiaoer immediately sent his envoys in red clothes and ordered them to be divided into two teams. One team went to the county government office to invite the county magistrate, and the other team went to capture the execution room clerk.
Not long after, the local magistrate and county magistrate rushed over in a panic.
The clerk in the execution room was directly tied up from the bed by the red-clothed messenger.
The clerk in the execution room thought that he had been kidnapped by thieves. He kept shouting at the king to spare his life. He even said that he was familiar with a certain thief king and was kidnapped by Chi Yi. The messenger recorded it on the spot.
The local magistrate and county magistrate had already heard roughly about the case from the red-clothed messenger on their way here.
After arriving at the inn, they quickly saluted Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer.
Hearing the magistrate and the county magistrate call them 'Qin Commander', Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "Zhi Zhang, Magistrate Ma, do you know us?"
Zhang Zhixian and Ma Xiancheng replied respectfully: "I have heard about the reputation of the two Qin commanders, and I deeply admire what the two adults have done in Chuzhou. Their methods are really high and powerful." hard!"
The official title of the county magistrate is the seventh rank, and the county magistrate is the eighth rank, which is lower than the sixth rank of Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer. There is no problem in claiming a humble position.
Not to mention, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiao'er were members of the Red Envoy's Hundred Households. They were extremely powerful and dared to kill even fourth-grade magistrates. Zhang Zhixian and Ma County Magistrate did not think that the other party would not dare to kill them.
Qin Qiaoer chuckled lightly and said, "What happened in Chuzhou, did it reach Zhili so quickly? That's fine. Now that you know what happened in Chuzhou, you should know what to do about today's case, right?" ?”
Zhang Zhixian and Ma Xiancheng nodded repeatedly and said in unison: "I know, I know. We will deal with it impartially, investigate thoroughly, and will never let go of a thief or any official who colludes with the thief!"
"As long as you know, let's do the handover." Qin Qiao'er nodded and motioned to the red-clothed messenger under his command to take the two men down and hand over the thieves and the mole.
As soon as Zhang Zhixian and Ma County Cheng left, Zhu Xiucai ran over to find the two of them, and reported with a slightly strange expression: "Sir, the principals of the several caravans escorting Xiuxian Gang over there at the West Post House want to come over. I’d like to meet you and express my gratitude in person.”
Qin Qiaoer waved her hand and refused: "Tell them no need."
However, Qin Shaoyou noticed Zhu Xiucai's strange expression, frowned and asked, "What is your expression? Is there something wrong with those caravans?"
Zhu Xiucai chuckled: "There is nothing wrong with the caravan, but there is one person among them. I think it would be good for the two adults to meet each other."
