Chapter 751: twenty-one
Chapter 751 Twenty One
"The unburned firewood for the roasted mutton by the river, and the traces of dragging heavy objects and scratching the grass on the small **** outside Baizhang, prove that there were people moving here, but there is no trace of fighting." Chen Bingyin analyzed according to various situations, and then said , "It means that Young Master Jiang and the others stayed here to eat, but they were not robbed by robbers."
Bai Lu continued, "The carriage did not leave the official road, which means that they stopped here and then continued to travel by car. Sir, let's explore along the official road, and we will surely gain something."
Jiang Erye nodded, "There are Big Brother Laobai and Big Brother Chen."
Jingzhao Mansion's catching fast walk along the official road to explore slowly step by step. After walking for more than ten miles, I finally found something suspicious: there were traces of fighting and blood in the dense grass about half a person high by the roadside!
Bai Lu looked around, then pointed to the grass pit next to him and said, "Someone should have come here for convenience, and then he was attacked by someone lurking here."
"Sir, here!" Chen Bingyin also made a similar discovery, and then found a total of six similar traces.
Jiang Erye analyzed, "So many people are convenient and attacked at the same time. Could it be that they have eaten their stomachs?"
Jiang Liu analyzed, "Or someone has poisoned them, pinpoint the time, and start when they are poisoned."
Bai Lu took over the conversation, "If it is really poisoned, the place where Young Master Jiang ate lunch at noon is ten miles away, and many people have diarrhea, which should be a small amount of croton powder. Robbery."
Jiang Erye frowned slightly, and Jiang Liu's Shuiwan eyebrows were also dignified, and analyzed according to this path, "More than 30 people, four carriages, even if they are all poisoned, it is impossible for them to be so easily killed. People will take them away, unless the thieves first capture Brother Dalang and his friends, and then threaten their lives to make the entourage give up their resistance."
The commander of the Wuzhi Xiang Army, Ma Chengguo, saw the serious expressions on everyone's face, and quickly said, "They were not killed here, which means that the robbers did not want to kill them, and they were probably trying to make a fortune by tying them up."
"Master Ma is very reasonable," Jiang Liu first praised Ma Chengguo, then raised his head and said to Daddy, "Father, if the eldest brother is captured, the followers will give up their resistance, but they should also leave hints and marks."
Jiang Erye nodded and let everyone spread out to look around.
Soon, the yacha in Wushe County found a small porcelain vase the size of a jujube in the grass in the depths. Jiang Liu recognized it at a glance, "Father, this is a pill for relieving summer heat and nourishing fluid made by Daoist Master Yu Yuanzi, which my daughter put in my brother's luggage."
Jiang Erye clenched the porcelain vase, "Master Ma."
I didn't expect Xiaobai's face to be sullen and scary. Ma Chengguo didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists, "The end will be here."
"Is there a bandit who holds the mountain as the king?"
this…
"speak!"
Ma Chengguo immediately said, "Yes, there is. But these ineffective bandits are just blocking the road and robbing people, not hurting people's lives. Judging from this method, it should not be what they did."
Jiang Erye ordered, "Even if it's not what they did, they should know some news if someone is on their territory. Please, Sir Ma, arrest the nearby bandits and local gangsters before sunrise tomorrow morning. case."
It was about to get dark, how could it be possible to catch mountain bandits and local ruffians in one night, Ma Chengguo relied on his courage and said, "Sir, the last general..."
Jiang Erye glanced at his cowardly look and instructed, "Bai Chau Kuai, you go."
"Yes!" Bai Lu, the elite arresting officer of Jingzhao Mansion, responded resoundingly, "Your Excellency, please send 15 county government officials and fifty side troops to your subordinates."
"Master Ma." Jiang Erye looked at Ma Chengguo.
Ma Chengguo has no ability, but his ability to look at people's faces is first-class, and immediately said, "Yes, I will follow the instructions of Lord Bai."
After Bai Lu and Ma Chengguo left, Erye Jiang continued to stare at his subordinates to find traces. Jiang Liu called Mrs. Sun aside and asked for a while, then returned to daddy and tugged his sleeve.
Jiang Erye leaned over and asked patiently, "What? Are you hungry?"
Jiang Liu...Although she is indeed hungry, she can hold back. Jiang Liu pulled Daddy's sleeves, raised his face and said, "Daddy, my daughter suspects that Brother Dalang and the others were taken away from the waterway. This place is not far from Bihe, you send someone to the direction of Bihe. look for it?"
Jiang Erye nodded and ordered people to do as his daughter said. Sure enough, he found a mess of traces by the Bihe River three miles away. At this time, the sun had gone down, Jiang Erye ordered people to light a torch to surround the side, and then let the Jingzhao Mansion's arresting fast search carefully.
Soon, Chen Bingyin made a new discovery, "Sir, there are words here!"
Jiang Liu followed his father to the front, and found two words marked with a hard object on a solid piece of land.
"Twenty-one..." Doubt flashed in Jiang Erye's peach blossom eyes, "According to the date, Dalang should have disappeared on the sixteenth. What does twenty-one mean?"
Because of the speculation in his heart, what Jiang Liu saw was not two words, but half of one word. However, there were many people here, so Jiang Liu did not speak, but entered the rich man of Nanwang Village with his father not far away. When the family was resting for the night, he spoke to his father, "Dad, my daughter has a guess that the characters Dalang and the others left were not '21', but half a yellow character."
After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he dipped his finger in the tea and wrote the word "yellow" on the table. The traditional Chinese character for "yellow" is "twenty-one".
Jiang Erye watched carefully for a while, looked up to see the light in his daughter's eyes, and knew that she had a lot of ideas in her little head, so he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it all in one breath, and then let's have a rest after dinner."
Jiang Liu didn't sell the lawsuit, he wiped the tea stains on the table with a handkerchief, took out the map given by his brother and placed it on the table, "This is what my brother pried open the mouth of the Yingtianfu water bandit Huang Loach, and learned from him. Gyeonggi bandit den map. My brother guessed that Meng Tingwan was hiding in these circles, so I asked Uncle Qiu to send people to investigate according to the map. Daddy see, this is where we are. This is the junction of the two counties, and there is no army stationed there. , Isn't it a bit strange that the forest is so dense, but there are no circles?"
"So, my daughter speculates that Huang Loach concealed the bandit den here from his brother." Jiang Liu continued, "Then why he confessed to other places, but concealed the bandit den here, it must be that the bandit here has something to do with him. "
Jiang Erye raised his hand and flicked his daughter's forehead, "How can you hide such a big thing from your father!"
hiss - it hurts! Jiang Liu raised his chubby hand to cover his forehead, and said aggrieved, "Brother said that Daddy is in the yamen, and letting you know about some things will make you embarrassed, so I didn't say it."
Jiang Erye snorted and analyzed, "If these people are really trying to avenge the Yingtianfu water bandits, the nest of the water bandits will be slain and all the water bandits will be executed, they should not kidnap your brother, but Just kill them on the spot."
Jiang Liu shook his head, "There is no exhaustion, Huang Loach escaped with his only son who was still in the infant, Huang Loach was caught by his brother, and his son is still alive."
Jiang Erye stood up abruptly, "These people kidnapped your brother in exchange for Huang Loach's son? This makes sense, this makes sense! Where is the child now?"
