After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 94
Before Hai Xiya's transfer order was received, Hai Jiao found his target first.

One day in late May, he rushed home before noon. He didn't bother to eat, so he ran to the west wing to talk to his sister and said, "I saw those gangsters!"

Haitang blinked, quickly put down the pen in his hand, and looked out the window to make sure that no one would hear their brother and sister's conversation. Then he pulled his brother close to the wall, away from the window, and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure? Have you never seen them?"

"Although I have never met them in person, I have seen their sea arrest documents, and the pictures on them are quite clear." When Hai Jiao heard the story of the arrest of this gang of criminal thieves in his previous life, he also saw the wanted posters kept privately by others.

It was originally posted on the notice wall next to the city gate. After the prisoner was arrested, the wanted notice was useless. When there were other official documents that needed to be posted, the guards tore off the wanted document and threw it aside. The idler picked it up and took it back. When he told others about the bustle of the city in the future, he would use the wanted documents with graphics as evidence.

Hai Jiao remembers that those gangsters were three men and one woman. One of the three men had a beard, one had a goatee with triangular eyes, and there was an extraordinarily tall, dark, fat man. As for the woman, she looked a little bit different graphically. She is pretty, but there is an obvious black mole at the corner of her mouth, and she smiles enchantingly.People who talk about these captured gangsters often describe the beauty and coquettishness of this female robber.

Hai Jiao didn't taint his sister's ears with those gossips. He only said: "The people guarding the city gate told me that these were all new faces who had entered the city for the first time. They didn't look like kind-hearted people, so they questioned them more. A few words. Beard, triangular eyes, tall, dark and fat, as well as the mole on the corner of the woman's mouth, several features are matching. She also speaks with a Suzhou accent. Who else could it be if they weren't them?! Although the triangular eyes don't have a goatee, But it’s not like you can’t shave your beard, the looks of the other accomplices alone are enough to prove their identities.

"They claimed to be here to find relatives, and they are all living in the Liu family's big car shop. The Liu family shopkeeper said that after they moved into the store yesterday, they never went out again and ate all their meals in the house. It seemed that He was afraid of meeting too many people, and he didn't look like he was in a hurry to find a relative. Among them, the one with the triangular eyes had mentioned to him that he wanted to rent a house in the city, and asked him to help find a suitable house in a more secluded place. That's it. It contradicts what they said at the city gate!”

With so many coincidences, it seems like the real deal is right.

This gang of criminal thieves should have been arrested during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when they had already set up shop in the city.It's not June yet, so the time is right.

Haitang said: "Now that my brother has found the person, the next step will be easy. You can pay attention to their movements every day, but you don't have to stare for a long time, so as not to alert the snake. Anyway, they will not leave before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The next step is to Find a way to get the sea arrest documents so that you can report them, otherwise brother, you can't explain why you know that these people are criminal thieves."

Hai Jiao sighed: "In the last life, the sea fishing documents were sent to Suzhou in August. They had been in the city for several months at that time, and everyone was familiar with them. No one connected them with Hai Jiao at all. The picture of a gangster on the arrest document has something to do with it. If we really have to wait until the arrest document comes, the day lily will be cold! I don’t know when grandpa will be transferred. What if we leave before the arrest document arrives? "

Haitang smiled and said: "Then it depends on your brother's ability. Can you get some clues from the daily words and deeds of these people, so that it will be easier to convince people when reporting them to the government as suspected bandits? They have been committing crimes for a long time. It's just that Suzhou is too remote and no one thought they would escape here, so the sea arrest documents were delivered so slowly. Once the government finds out that they may indeed be gangsters, they will report the matter to Ganzhou or even Chang'an. , are you worried that you won’t be able to confirm their identities by then?”

Hai Jiao thought it was reasonable and said with a smile: "This is easy to handle. They had already disguised themselves when they entered the city, but they still didn't look kind. The guards guarding the city gate were muttering privately. I told the Liu family what the guards said. The shopkeeper of the big car shop told them to be more alert. If there is something really wrong, don't alert anyone for the time being, just report it to the official quietly, and you can get a reward afterwards. Even if it is really a mistake, At the worst, we can just treat those people to a drink. The Liu Family Car Shop has a lot of customers on weekdays, so we are not afraid of offending a few passers-by. "

Haitang was a little surprised: "Brother, don't you plan to report it yourself? If I let someone else do it for me, I'm afraid the credit won't fall on my brother." Hai Jiao sighed: "If the time is right, of course I won't be willing to give up the credit. But right now Grandpa has climbed up to Lord Tao Yuetao, and will have his own future in the future. It seems that I don’t even have to worry about my future. I don’t have to hold on to these two small achievements. The key is not to let these criminal thieves do what they did in my previous life. Like, if there is another chance to kill people."

Haitang was quite happy to hear what her brother said, so she gave him some advice: "If we really find the handle on this group of people, there is no need to let the people from Liu's big car shop take risks. If they reveal their flaws, they will offend them." What to do if a few thugs kill? Even if no one is hurt, it is not good to break the furniture and utensils in the store. Didn’t that group of people ask the Liu family shopkeeper to find a secluded house? Ask him to find a place away from the crowd and kill people. Lure them over and then report them to the officials. The officers and soldiers will surround them and wipe them out. No matter how they kill them, they won't be able to affect the Liu Family Car Shop."

Hai Jiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and nodded repeatedly.

What happened next went very smoothly.

Hai Liaoxiangruo passed by the Liu Family Car Shop by accident and told the shopkeeper what the city gate guards had said.The shopkeeper became more and more alert.

He originally felt that those few people were not like good people. He originally suspected that they were spies for the horse bandits and sand bandits, but now he was even more convinced that they were not good people.As Hai Jiao suggested, he found a secluded house for the four of them. There were not many people around. He took Triangle Eye over to have a look. He was quite satisfied with it, so he moved there with his accomplices the next day.

The shopkeeper of the Liu family helped the Jiangyang thieves move their house, and then went to the guardhouse to report them.He originally just accused the other party of being a suspected bandit spy. Unexpectedly, the clerk from the big car shop who went with him reported to the guards that he had heard the fat, dark man among them bragging after drinking, saying how he was a hero in Jiangnan, and how he was a hero in the Jianghu. He was called so-and-so, made so much money, robbed so many coins, killed so many people, even the government was helpless, and so on.

Is it okay now?Judging from the words of this fat, dark man, he was still a gangster in the south of the Yangtze River.
The Suzhou Guards attached great importance to this matter.The city gate guards heard about it and came to report the situation. They said that when they met, they felt that these people had hidden murderous intentions and that someone must be killed. They also suspected that they were sand pirates and quietly informed the person in charge at the guard station. The brother who caught the spy.Now that the two sides understood the situation, they both felt that these were four big fish, so they immediately launched a large net to round them up.

The round-up operation went smoothly. After arresting the people, they were interrogated. Among the four people, two of them were outstanding in force but had impressive IQs. They spoke after a little deception.On the second day, everyone in the Suzhou Guard knew that they had captured four criminal thieves from the south of the Yangtze River, the kind who had robbed government officials and killed officers and soldiers.

This is a great achievement!The guard immediately reported the matter to the capital.

Everyone in the office was beaming with joy. They thought that after the peace agreement was signed, Suzhou City would not have the opportunity to fight and make meritorious deeds for several years. I didn’t expect that there would be bandits from the interior coming to deliver food. It was like falling asleep. pillow.Everyone began to discuss whether we should conduct a careful search in the city and maybe catch some more fugitives?
General Wednesday thought it made sense, and ordered a thorough inspection of the inns and rental houses in the city to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

Then, he really caught two new big fish.
