Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 23
Hanyue Mountain is located in the south of Shanyin County, adjacent to Kuaiji Mountain.

The mountain of Hanyue Mountain is not steep, but the forest is deep and leafy, the ancient trees are towering, and the mountain is rich in golden nanmu, pines, cypresses and camphor trees and so on.

Jia Shiren spent a lot of money to win this mountain. Originally, he took a fancy to the many ancient and famous trees in the mountain, thinking that he could make a lot of money.

Ordinary people went up the mountain to chop firewood, and he would reprimand them a few words.

In July last year, Jia Shiren suddenly summoned a large number of craftsmen to go into the mountains to log, including masons and bricklayers.

It's just that the wood was not transported outside, which made everyone feel strange. Later, a craftsman spread the news, and only then did they learn that the villa was to be built.

The two yamen servants sent by Xie Duan scouted around and learned about it from the surrounding villagers. Otherwise, it would not be possible to find out all the news about the villa so quickly in a short period of time.

On the one hand, Jiang Xianwei led people to track Yixiyuan, and on the other hand, he sent people to inquire about the news of the villa. Both preparations were carried out at the same time to ensure that everything was safe. Xie Duan's style of acting was not unscrupulous.

At this moment, Li Qing gathered a crowd of people, and almost all the police officers from the third squad of the yamen were mobilized, heading towards Hanyue Mountain in a mighty manner.

At that time, it will be enough to meet the Hejiang County Captain's men and horses again.

"Xiao Duan, this case is really thanks to you."

In the carriage, Li Qing looked relaxed and said to him.

"Brother-in-law is over the top! This is the result of everyone's joint efforts, but the criminal has not been caught yet, so don't take it lightly!"

Xie Duan was unhurried, with some caution in his calm tone.

"Well! What I'm saying is that you should be more cautious! But then again, I didn't see you last night. Where did you go?"

Li Qing nodded to express his agreement, and then asked again.

"I went to find that Taoist priest. He is very capable. I originally wanted to see if I could ask him to help catch those thieves, but he didn't want to deal with the people in the government, and he had important things to do, so he was in a hurry. , so this matter failed!"

Regarding this, Xie Duan did not hide it.

Li Qing said "Oh" and didn't say anything more, but told everyone to speed up and rush to Hanyue Mountain as quickly as possible.

Li Qing had already read the letter and the list.

The letter was a letter notifying the evacuation, it was unclear where it was sent, but since it was intercepted in Jiajia Town, and the contents of the letter mentioned the government many times, it is understandable .

Combined with that list, the result is already ready to come out.

The traffickers who abducted and trafficked children have all been arrested. Yixiyuan fled in a hurry at this time and was tracked by them again. As expected, the letter should be sent by them, the purpose is to inform the mastermind behind the scenes to evacuate.

It has been a whole day since Yixiyuan left the city yesterday. Just imagine, if this letter had not been intercepted, the mastermind behind the scenes would have received the news long ago and fled.

They rushed over now and couldn't find anything at all.

As for why Yixiyuan turned back again, I think it was because there was something they cared about in the villa, so they were willing to take the risk.

An hour later, Xie Duan and others arrived at Jiajia Town.

The first is to meet up with Liang Butou and others who are in charge of investigating the disappearance of children here. Because there are children missing in several villages and towns around Shanyin County, Li Qing sent Butou to various places to investigate the matter.

Liang Butou happened to be from Jiajia Town. He grew up here and was familiar with this area, so he was put in charge here.

After some questioning, I learned that when they were inspecting yesterday afternoon, they found a strange face hurrying on the road, stepped forward to question him, and the man's answer was wrong, so he felt suspicious at that time.

Afterwards, the man wanted to escape in a hurry, but they caught him, and then found the letter from his body, but after it was exposed, the man died suddenly, so that they didn't have time to interrogate him.

Catcher Liang felt that something was wrong, and happened to meet the yamen servant who came here to inquire about the news, so he asked him to take the letter back.

After listening, Li Qing couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, saying that this time he has made a great contribution, and he will be rewarded when he returns.

The two men joined forces, and then came to Jia Shiren's mansion. Jia Shiren was terrified by such battles. Faced with interrogation, he said with a mournful face that he built a mountain villa just to escape the summer heat, but since it was only used in summer, Most of the time is idle in the mountains.

Last month, someone came to him suddenly, willing to spend a lot of money to rent his villa. He thought that if it is empty, it is empty, so he agreed to make some money, but he really did not expect that he would use it for such a thing .

Then he looked aggrieved, saying that he really didn't know.

But no matter whether what he said is true or false, it is not the time to pursue it now, so I just let him lead the way to the villa to arrest the murderer.

Jia Shiren didn't dare to disobey, so he immediately brought a servant along with him.

Jiajia Town is at the foot of Hanyue Mountain, and to the east is the well-known Kuaiji Mountain, so it is not far away, and it didn't take long to come to the foot of the mountain.

"grown ups!"

The road to the mountain has been blocked. At this time, two police officers were guarding. When they saw Li Qing and the others coming, they hurried forward to salute.

"How's the situation? Where's the captain of Jiang County?"

Li Qing got out of the carriage, without beating around the bush, and asked.

"Master Jiang is in the forest ahead. We tracked them down to this point and were discovered by people from Yixiyuan. To prevent them from escaping, Master Jiang led his brothers to capture them and tie them all to the trees inside!"

Hearing this, Li Qing's interview could not help but change slightly.

"This reckless man has repeatedly disobeyed orders and told him not to do anything. If he doesn't listen, things will end in his hands sooner or later."

Xie Duan stepped forward at this time, and spoke to comfort him.

"Brother-in-law, don't be angry. Jiang Xianwei's actions are not only innocent, but also meritorious! I think the reason why the Yixiyuan came back again should be because they knew that their letter had not been sent to the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes. They will come back in a hurry, Master Jiang just caught them at the foot of the mountain, and if the news cannot be spread, the main envoy must still be on the mountain."

After what he said, Li Qing also felt that there was some truth.

"Let's go up the mountain quickly! To avoid long nights and dreams."

After Xie Duan finished speaking, he got into the carriage and headed straight for the mountains.

According to what Jia Shiren said, the villa was built halfway up the mountain. Firstly, the terrain is flat, which is conducive to the construction of the villa. Secondly, the distance is relatively gentle, so the carriage can directly reach the entrance of the villa.

Entering the woods along the road, I saw a group of arresters from a distance, several men were tied to the tree, and several arresters waved their whips and beat them continuously.

"Call me, until they say so!"

Jiangxian Wei stood aside with a knife, his face full of anger.

"What are you doing?"

Li Qing lifted the curtain of the car and poked his head out, looking at them.

"My lord? I have seen my lord, and I am interrogating."

Seeing this, County Captain Jiang quickly came to the carriage, cupping his fists and saluting.

"Interrogation? You are using lynching indiscriminately!"

Li Qing knew his character, so he reprimanded him immediately.

"No way! No torture, they will not recruit!"

Jiangxian Wei's face remained unchanged, and then he saw Xie Duan next to him.

"Mr. Duan! You are so predictable, Jiang admires it! The missing child was indeed bought by them, but they used evil methods to make dogs, monkeys, and some poisonous people who are neither human nor ghost. , forcing them to perform to make money, the means are extremely cruel."

At this moment, facing Xie Duan, he was completely overwhelmed.

Although this is just a scholar, he doesn't know a little bit of martial arts, but he has the ability to make people look at him differently, and even convince him.

"Master Jiang is overrated, you did a good job in this matter! In addition, we already know the mastermind behind the scenes, now please bring your men and horses to follow us into the mountains, and arrest the mastermind behind the scenes."

Xie Duan smiled and gave instructions immediately.

"Yes!"

Jiang Xianwei agreed, and then went to gather the troops.

Taking this opportunity, Xie Duan looked at the few people who were tied to the tree, and found that two of them were the two men who had seen the strange show before. With resentment in his eyes, he could see that he was unwilling, even gnashing his teeth.

Maybe they were also in a hurry, so they simply shouted at the top of their voices.

"The officers and soldiers are here, brother, run! Brother, run..."

Echoes echoed in the mountains and forests.

County Captain Jiang pulled two pieces of rags to gag their mouths, leaving two guards behind, while the rest followed the team and headed straight for the mountains.
