Chapter 164: Where is our way out?
When Wanhua and the others walked away, Li Jie and Niu Dazhuang, who were seventy or eighty steps away, came to the scene of the murder.
Li Jie squatted down, grabbed a bit of sand from the ground and looked at it in his hand, Niu Dazhuang was also carefully examining it beside him, but except for the blood stains that could be seen in the sand, nothing else was found. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Niu Dazhuang walked to Li Jie's side and said, "This group of people is not simple, they cleaned the place really clean, and nothing was left except bloodstains." ”
Li Jie stood up, looked at the scene of the murder, and couldn't help nodding secretly, if all the murderers in the world were so careful, how could there be any possibility of solving the case?
Li Jie replied: "It's not just simple, this is clearly done by a veteran, you see this sandy soil, it is all collected from the old soil on the ground, but there is no new soil underground, where will ordinary people find it, it's really careful, if we didn't witness them kill people, it would be difficult for us to find it when we passed by, amazing." ”
When Niu Dazhuang heard this, he also agreed in his heart, it is indeed rare for so many people to be able to make the scene so clean, so Niu Dazhuang said: "It seems that they have a lot of murders, Li Tou, so what should we do?" Do you want to find a way to notify the government? ”
Li Jie smiled helplessly and said, "With his Tiger Master's current strength, if he doesn't transfer officers and soldiers, what's the use of those quick catches in the yamen?" I don't dare to arrest people if I borrow ten of them, even if I transfer officers and soldiers, it is useless to come less, and if I come more, I have to be approved by the yamen at all levels, so I don't know when it happened, hey, it's difficult! ”
Now the Ming Dynasty is still generally peaceful, the imperial court is still relatively strict in the control of the army in various places, if the army wants to be pulled, there are too many procedures, plus the army has to be drawn to the army to open silver, the court is now in a bad financial situation, and it will not be easy to mobilize the army.
Thinking of this, Li Jie smiled indifferently again, and said: "These soldiers are not good things, if they die, they will die, let's pay more attention to that tiger master in the future, this person feels unusual, and he is ruthless, but he is humble and polite to others, I really can't understand him!" ”
When Li Jieniu and Dazhuang returned to their residences, they saw that the other three subordinates were already drunk, playing with swords there, their names were Liu Tian, Wang Sizu, and Wang De, all of whom were recruited by Li Jie into Jinyiwei.
Li Jie couldn't help but be furious when he saw them like this, with their current appearance, it was really fortunate that they were not stabbed to death by a sword, Li Jie and Niu Dazhuang brought two buckets of water and poured them on the three of them.
At this time, Liu Tian and the three of them regained a little sanity, and Li Jie slapped each of them again, shouting: "You look like this, what if someone comes!" A child can kill you! ”
Liu Tian and the others looked indifferent, and Liu Tian replied loudly: "Who will come?" Now what are we! The court doesn't want us, and there is no way to serve the country, but we used to be the minions of the dignified son of heaven, but now! Hiding and hiding like a dog every day, it's better to die. ”
Li Jie looked at Liu Tian, and then looked at Wang Sizu, Wang De, and Niu Dazhuang, they were all dejected and bowed their heads, and they were all full of despair for the future.
Li Jie took a deep breath and said, "We will come out of it, the Son of Heaven will show the snow for the Lord of the Hundred Households, and then we will be able to restore our identity and serve the imperial court." ”
Liu Tian said disdainfully: "Do you believe this yourself?" The case was decided by the Son of Heaven, will the Son of Heaven overturn the case he decided? Will he punch himself in the face? ”
Because Chongzhen thoroughly investigated Wei Zhongxian's case, I don't know how many people were affected, how many people fell to the ground, and Liu Tian and they have also become unknown people since then, plus they have offended many people in their previous cases, so it is difficult to get rid of Jinyiwei and start a new life. So they have a lot of complaints about the court and Chongzhen.
Li Jie was speechless by Liu Tian, how could he not know how slim this hope was!
Li Jie sat weakly on the chair next to him, looking at the four of them, remembering how high-spirited he was to handle the case with them before, when everyone was full of vigor, but now it has become such a field, Li Jie muttered helplessly: "Where is our way out!" ”
Wanhua did not go back to the village directly, but came to a place more than two miles outside the village, there are more than a dozen old locust trees here, after arriving, Wanhua ordered the team members to dig a pit, this is the place where Wanhua buried those helpers and the fire dragon king, not far from the people of Hejia Village, but not afraid of outsiders.
After digging a deep pit, Wang Yong and the five of them were thrown directly into it, and then buried it solidly, and then covered the surface with some old soil, which could not be seen after a few days.
Of course, their waist knives are still kept, and they will still be useful in the future, but they don't want clothes or anything, after all, they are all bloodstains, even if they are boiled in boiling water, Wanhua also feels bad, not only Wang Yong's clothes, but also the clothes of the team members, Wanhua is all burned, Wanhua feels unclean, anyway, he has silver in his hand, and he can buy it again.
When Wanhua and they returned to the stockade, it was already late at night, and the guards in the stockade were stricter than usual, because Wanhua and they had not returned for a long time, and the Wanqiang Lin Leopard who stayed behind was worried that something would happen, so they all ordered the team members to cheer up and prepare to fight at all times.
Wan Hua was very happy to see this, which shows that they already have the quality of an officer, and they know that prevention is better than prevention, which is very good, and their hard work is finally not in vain.
When Wan Qiang and the others saw that Wan Hua brought people back, they were also relieved, but when they saw that the team members were shirtless, and many of them still had blood stains on their faces, Wan Qiang asked worriedly: "Big brother, is something wrong?" ”
Wanhua smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, I met a few wild dogs on the road, you know how to strengthen your vigilance, this is very good, you have to develop such a habit in the future, our family is weak, we can't afford to lose once!" ”
Wan Qiang and the others saw that Wan Hua's face was as usual, so they put their hearts at ease, and they were very happy when they heard Wan Hua's praise.
Wanhua said to the team members again: "You all go take a hot bath and wash your bodies." ”
Wanhua has never dared to be sloppy in health problems, and Wanhua has very strict requirements in this regard, so now the team members have also developed good hygiene habits.
Not only them, but also those villagers, now they don't dare to defecate anywhere, litter or something, the village and Linkou Village, Hejia Village, they are all clean, it can be said that in terms of hygiene level, they are among the best in the entire Ming Dynasty.
