Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 152
When the moon rises, many stars disappear, and their brilliance is like water.The Han River flows south quietly, and there are a few fishing fires on the river, and the world is quiet.

In Du Chaozong's courtyard, a group of people were still shouting and drinking.Most of them became drunk and spoke recklessly.

Suddenly, the courtyard door was smashed through by someone, and a group of people rushed in from the outside.The two gatekeepers were caught and thrown to the ground.Without restraint, the two yelled together.

Wang Xiaolie came out slowly from behind.Loudly said: "Let the master Du Chaoyuan come over and talk!"

Du Chaoyuan was taken aback, and most of the wine sobered up.He stood up and said, "Who is here?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Of course they are from the government! You stand up one by one, and the government is doing business. Whoever dares to mess around will be chopped off!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers behind him stepped forward quickly, and surrounded the crowd.

Seeing the standing man looking around, he didn't answer.Wang Xiaolie said: "Two hundred soldiers came today, and your Zhuangzi has been surrounded! Whoever dares to run, kill immediately! Don't take chances, Du Chaoyuan will come up to answer!"

In the shadow of the torches, the long knives in the soldiers' hands glowed coldly.It was quiet for a while, no one dared to speak.

Du Chaoyuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and stepped forward.He cupped his hands and said, "I'm telling you, the youngest one is Du Chaoyuan, the owner of this village."

Wang Xiaolie looked Du Chaoyuan up and down, nodded and said: "Outside the staff, someone first reported that the person who came to the town to kill someone today was a farmer from your village. I have no choice but to come and take a look. If you offend me , Haihan please."

Hearing this, Du Chaoyuan hastily called Qu: "Officials, you are so strict with the farmer, how could there be such a ridiculous thing? Don't listen to the nonsense of those common people! You have always obeyed the law, how could such a thing happen?"

Wang Xiaolie didn't speak.With a wave of his hand, two soldiers came up to watch Du Chaoyuan.

Counting the people who drank together there, plus Du Chaoyuan, exactly twelve.Wang Xiaolie knew it well, knowing that nine out of ten cases today were committed by these people.It's good to find the real culprit, not afraid of their great abilities, and they can fly out of their palms.

Leading the soldiers forward, Wang Xiaolie looked at the people at the banquet.Called the guards from the town hall, and said: "Today, four of the murderers did not cover their faces. Go up and have a look, is there any here? You must see clearly! The thieves are gone, and they are killing people!"

The guards at the back sang promises.Step forward together and read it carefully.

The three people Du Chaoyuan invited did not leave at this time.One was already drunk and fell there.The other two lowered their heads, their hearts pounding.The farmer without a mask was ashamed and his face was livid.

It was clearly seen that several servants came to salute in front of Wang Xiaolie.Pointing to the four people, he said: "Observe, we can see clearly that the four people who committed the crime today are all here. At that time, there were 12 people in total, and this number was drinking here."

Wang Xiaolie nodded.Looking up at the moon in the sky, he took a deep breath.This case is not a tricky one, and there will be endless troubles in the future.It was great to find people that day and catch them all.

Waving his hand, Wang Xiao said: "Take people! All the people in this village are not allowed to run away!"

The soldiers promised.Someone took out the rope and stepped forward to tie him up.

Du Chaoyuan was terrified.He shouted loudly: "A few guards were dazed for a while, what kind of evidence is it! We drank here and didn't go out all day! Observe, you have to investigate carefully!"

Wang Xiaolie said indifferently: "Don't worry, I will investigate carefully when I return to the government!"

Two soldiers took Qiangzi and tied up Du Chaoyuan. Du Chaoyuan struggled desperately.Just where can I earn my living?My heart is full of resentment.He said loudly: "Even if you suspect us, the Xiangyang government should come and get us! Observe, what is your official position in Xiangyang?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaolie turned around, looked at Du Chaoyuan and said, "You don't have to ask me what official position I am in Xiangyang, as long as you know, I can kill you! Now in troubled times, many things can only be done by authority!"

Du Chaoyuan wanted to say more, but seeing Wang Xiao's murderous look, he couldn't help feeling cold.That's right, Wang Xiaolie is the magistrate of Ruzhou, and he doesn't have any official position in Xiangyang, so what?You have soldiers in your hand, as long as you can kill yourself.Not only can he kill himself, the whole family, even Wang Xiaolie can take their lives at the command of Wang Xiaolie.This is not a peaceful time, many rules.Now knives are the rule.

Seeing Du Chaoyuan's expression, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but sneer in his heart.These people still haven't realized the reality.In troubled times, how could it be the same as in peacetime.If the world is peaceful, this case cannot be settled immediately.If you want to kill these people, you have to report to Lu for punishment and Dali Temple.All goes well, and it will take a few months.Now, all that is needed is a word from Wang Xiaolie.

tied people up.Wang Xiaolie said: "This Zhuangzi is secluded and big, so let's try the case here. Ask them where other than the people in this Zhuangzi live. Send people overnight to arrest all the family members!" "

The soldiers under his command promised.From the village, I found a person familiar with the local area, as a guide, to arrest the family members of the rest.

It stands to reason that if someone commits a crime, his family should not be affected.This is especially true when Wang Xiaolie has memories of his previous life.But now is an extraordinary time, and extraordinary methods should be used instead of general laws.First of all, it is hard to say that the family members did not participate in the crimes committed by these people who used to be police officers.More importantly, if they don't cut the weeds, their families will easily cause troubles.

Wang Xiaolie didn't dare to say that he would be able to hold on to Xiangyang firmly.Once someone comes to attack, these internal unstable factors will become hidden dangers in wartime.Of course, arresting their family members will not kill them, but make proper arrangements.

He ordered the soldiers to bring a stool, and Wang Xiaolie sat in the yard with his eyes slightly closed.

The moon in the sky has risen high, and the moonlight is like water.The weather in mid-March is not cold at night.There are unknown insects singing around, and occasionally two boats pass by in the Han River not far away, everything is quiet and peaceful.

Not long after, all the family members involved in today's case were arrested, tied up and thrown in the yard.Wang Xiaolie counted, and there were almost 200 people in total.It seems that in Hanyin Town, most of the influential people who used to ride on the heads of the people have gone.

Standing up, Wang Xiaolie said: "Tomorrow morning, Zhou Yi, the prefectural Kongmu official, will go to Hanyin Town and let him try the case. It's getting late, everyone take turns to rest, don't miss tomorrow's business. And , everyone will keep a close eye on it, and if one escapes, it will be severely punished!"

A group of soldiers promised.

Wang Xiao came to Du Chaoyuan's study and took a rest here.Light a candle and look at the collection of books in the study. There are dozens of volumes.Unexpectedly, Du Chaoyuan, a local tyrant, is still a person who loves to read.In this day and age, dozens of books are not uncommon.

Taking a volume of Hedong Ji, Wang Xiaolie flipped through it casually, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Outside, Du Chaoyuan and others were tied to the ground, surrounded by soldiers holding torches, it was a bit gloomy at night.When Wang Xiaolie left, Du Chaoyuan became more and more frightened as he thought about it.He didn't expect that someone would recognize him and the others, and he didn't expect that Wang Xiaolie would kill them in less than a day.What was even more frightening was that Wang Xiaolie obviously didn't want to follow the old rules.

The family members of the eight people were taken aside. Some women and children were crying, some old people were sighing, and there were miscellaneous voices.Du Chaoyuan suddenly felt how stupid his decision to kill was.
