Chapter 95 Crowd
Wu Youcai slapped his head suddenly when he heard Ji Chongyan say the word "Ye Mingzhu", suddenly: That's it!Why didn't he think of it?

Isn't Boss Zhou who ran out with Ye Mingzhu a bandit?

"The bandit leader is in the yamen right now?" Ji Chongyan didn't ask Wu Youcai where Zen Master Huijue went, who was thinking about eating.

Zen Master Huijue and Mrs. Jingci are as good at food, and they have a good relationship with Miss Jiang Si, so it is obvious where they can go.

The problem right now is not Zen Master Huijue who came back by himself. Since he came back by himself, he can't escape. The most important question is how the bandits got the night pearls stolen from the imperial treasury.

Can ordinary bandits steal Ye Mingzhu?Isn't this a joke?
Looking at Lin Yan, Ji Chongyan said, "Take us to see the two captured bandit leaders."

Wu Youcai responded repeatedly, and then he did not forget to show his serious attitude to Ji Chongyan and Lin Yan: "The lower officials have already sent officers and soldiers to bring over the unconscious bandits in the bandit village."

Lin Yan glanced at him, and said lightly, "Good job".

Although the bandits in the Baoling area were not strong enough, Zen Master Huijue could handle it all by himself, but since it was related to Ye Mingzhu, he couldn't let it go.

In the prison of the Baoling County Government, two bandit chieftains who were tied into rice dumplings with sheets were in a coma. Looking at the way the sheets were tied, and thinking of the rice dumplings sent by Miss Jiang Si not long ago, Lin Yan blurted out: "This It's the pillow dumpling!"

Wu Youcai, who was leading the way, staggered and looked at Lin Yan in disbelief with a complicated expression.

Previously, I didn't know that Lin Shaoqing was so virtuous and so familiar with binding zongzi.

In the midst of slander, Lin Shaoqing from that side had already squatted down in front of the bandit leader. He stretched out his hand and turned the faces of the two unconscious bandit leaders over. After looking carefully for a while, he pointed to the scars on the two bandit leaders and asked Wu Youcai : "Have you checked your appearance? These two bandit leaders have very different names. What evil things have they done in the past?"

Wu Youcai was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "That's right, that's right! The fatter one is called Wang Da, and the thinner one is called Wang Er. They are a pair of brothers. The scars on their faces are caused by their parents being careless when they were born. The scalded one has been stealing chickens and dogs since he was a child, and has committed all kinds of evil. When he was older, he went up to the mountain and became a bandit, and the road called the two scar-faced Wang Da and Scar-faced Wang Er."

Lin Yan responded lightly: "What about the past? What have you committed? Now that you know these two are not good guys, why didn't the government arrest them?"

Although the tone of these words is light, but after careful study, it seems that there is no meaning of questioning him.

Wu Youcai's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily explained: "Lin Shaoqing's lesson, it's not that the officials don't arrest people, it's that no one comes to report to the officials!"

When dealing with local snakes in Baoling like the Fang family, Wu Youcai probably just turned a blind eye and just passed by.But this pair of scarface brothers is not a powerful character, and Wu Youcai is not so afraid.

"How come no one came to report to the official?" Lin Yan turned his head and looked at him, a little confused about the way.

Facing Lin Yan's scrutinizing gaze, Wu Youcai wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, and quickly explained: "The pair of scar-faced brothers really don't have a lot of promise. Apart from things like rice and a few baskets of vegetables, nothing else can be done!"

Baoling is considered a wealthy place, sometimes even if one or two loads of rice and a few baskets of vegetables are lost, the people let him go and don't care.Of course, it’s not that the pair of brothers have tried to snatch good things before. They even robbed the silks and satins of the squire in the city, but they snatched them back immediately after grabbing them, and ordered the guards around the squire to beat them up. .

Duan Duan is that being a villain is not enough in terms of ability or nature.

Wu Youcai explained a bit, then pointed to the two brothers' exposed bony arms, and said, "If you don't believe me, just look at the bones of these two brothers and you will know."

Lin Yan glanced at Ji Chongyan, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

It's really rare to be so useless as bandits.

But Ji Chongyan who was on the side spoke at this moment: "That Boss Zhou who showed the Ye Mingzhu in Jiafengxuan is also such a bandit who wants to do evil but is not good at home!"

Wu Youcai's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, but he was not surprised by it.When Shizi Ji mentioned Ye Mingzhu just now, he guessed that this would happen, so he heard the words and immediately explained: "Boss Zhou is alone, but this scar-faced brother brought a lot of people to station on the mountain. Bandits."

Although they are also useless bandits, one fights alone, and the other fights in groups... Wu Youcai couldn't help feeling emotional when he said this: I don't know which side is more useless.

Ji Chongyan glanced at Wu Youcai who was explaining, noncommittal.After a short pause, he opened his mouth again and said, "The thief who stole Ye Mingzhu is very skillful. I saw him escape under the siege of the imperial guards that day, and he didn't hurt a single bit. This kind of person is nothing special. Brother Scarface, Boss Zhou and other mobs."

Obviously, something must have happened to cause Ye Mingzhu to fall into the hands of these bandits.

Wu Youcai was even more flustered when he heard this: As a cowardly and useless county magistrate thousands of miles away from the capital, he lived up to his name with no great ambitions or great abilities.Although he also knew that the robbery was responsible for the theft of the Ye Mingzhu, he never knew the specific circumstances.

At this time, listening to the words of the Ji Shizi who had seen the thief with his own eyes, the thief was like General Zhao Zilong of the Three Kingdoms, a formidable character who could enter and exit seven times under heavy siege.

Hearing that Wu Youcai lamented that the robber is a character like Zhao Zilong, Lin Yan frowned more and more. After a while, he said to Ji Chongyan: "Chongyan, do you think this matter is absurd but also something is wrong!"

Since he is such a powerful thief, can he still ask people like Brother Scarmian and Boss Zhou to plot against him?It's a conspiracy, even Zen Master Huijue, an ascetic monk with a little knowledge of martial arts, can "suppress" a bandit village by himself. For those people, it is estimated that they can kill this group of people with one hand!
If so, how could the Ye Mingzhu, which was finally stolen from the treasury, fall into the hands of such people?
Moreover, he also asked Boss Zhou to go to Jiafengxuan to show Ye Mingzhu's face. Isn't this clearly intended to attract people from the imperial court to Baoling?
As soon as Lin Yan thought about it, he subconsciously glanced at Ji Chongyan who was at the side.

It was a coincidence that Chongyan came to Baoling with him, but it was almost a certainty that he or people from Dali Temple would come to Baoling.

Why did those people lure people from Dali Temple to Baoling?Could it be that the other party also had the same purpose, asking Dali Temple to investigate what happened 20 years ago?
