Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 128: Magistrate Huang reciprocates the favor and tries the case in a textbook style
Those arrested were all from wealthy families.

The high-walled courtyard has a large number of servants to protect it.

Firearms may not be kept privately, but swords and clubs are not.

every time,

A few policemen came to show their weakness first.
During the confrontation with the servant guard, the green battalion soldiers from the city guard camp suddenly arrived.

Without saying a word, he directly stabbed him with a spear.

outside the city,
Simpler and ruder.

Dongshan group training, come directly to your door.

Actual combat with sword and shield, killing servants crazily.

……

Every time he was arrested, blood flowed like a river.

Huang Wenyun also knew about this, but did not want to ask.

because,

He has already made a bold statement in the Forbidden City. If you want to be a lonely minister, you must not be merciful.

What intercession, passing notes, in-laws,

He ignored them all, and instead hinted that the subordinates should be dealt with quickly and with iron.

Don't leave time for those people to reverse the verdict.

Huang Si’s boots were stained with blood every day.

Song Yasi's robe could never be washed clean, and his eyes were blood red.

Both of them are working at full power and working on an assembly line.

Huang Si arrests people, and Song Yasi takes over.

Pedestrians took a detour in the alley where the government prison was located.

On the stone street,

The prisoners poured basins of blood and water at will.

The blood was also mixed with small parts of various carbon-based organisms.

The people in the city all said,

This street is King of Hell Street!

A weak and sick person will fall seriously ill after just one trip.

The evil spirit is too strong.

Li Yu also passed by once, and his horse was frightened and almost fell off.

So he ordered people to build a Zhongkui temple.

An iron cannon is placed at the door, and the cannon is fired once every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.

Physical ghost exorcism is extremely effective!
……

Xujiang Pier,

It got its wish and became the only dock in the Fucheng section of the Grand Canal.

The rest of the docks are except for the official ship berths.

All demolished, including dock buildings within 100 meters of the river bank.

This time,
He also used Dongshan group training. Although he was dressed in various clothes, his swords were sharp.

This is the benefit of having an official status, which allows you to enforce the law openly.

This also caused the gentry in Fucheng to remain silent.

They knew what a terrifying existence Li Yu was who was cleaning up his innocence.

"Sir, Mr. Huang invites you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"It is said that a gentleman named Chen, who has been an official for many years, came to complain."

Li Yu was stunned:
"Have we burned Mr. Chen's house?"

"That's not true. He said he was complaining for the Suzhou gentry."

I see,

Li Yu instantly understood that this was a gentleman with some influence who wanted to step out.

Huang Wenyun is a real chicken thief,
If you don't want to face this kind of person, let yourself deal with it.

But that's okay.

He is worried that the deterrent force is not enough.

If you want to be the "Zhao Gao" of Suzhou Prefecture, the current methods are far from enough.

……

"Prepare your horses, Xiaowu, follow me into the city."

Fifteen mounted guards, dressed in black, surrounded Li Yu and left Lijiabao.

Along the official road,

Running all the way to the government office,
Men, Ling Ah Liu has seen him coming a long time ago.

He immediately ran out and helped lead the horse.

"Master Li Jixiang, Mr. Chen is waiting in the detention room of the second hall, and the people in the execution room are preparing files for him to review."

"I heard that you opened the Wangbei Tower next to Xujiang Pier?"

"Thank you Mr. Li for the promotion. Wangbei Tower is the property of a villain."

Li Yu looked at this guy,
I thought he was a courageous guy. The three-story Wangbei Building was a big investment.

"How much money did it cost?"

"It's a total of 1500 taels. I borrowed it from all my relatives and colleagues, and even borrowed usury."

"Why don't you borrow it from me?"

"Hehe, I was just thinking about asking Mr. Li to take a share."

He is a sensible guy and deserves to be cultivated.

The guard accepted [-]% of the share documents,

Ling Ah Liu led the way diligently and trotted all the way.

Li Yu walked to the second hall like this.

Sign in the room,

A short, fat old man, exuding a sense of arrogance, looked at him unkindly.

Starting from the feet, then to the top of the head, his eyes were full of disdain.

"Mr. Chen? This is Li Yu."

……

"Why doesn't Huang Wenyun come to see me?"

"Master Huang has worked hard for the court and is ill."

The short, fat old man Chen laughed angrily, pointed at Li Yu and said:
"Can you say such ridiculous things?"

"Don't you believe it, Mr. Chen?"

"Being an official in the Qing Dynasty was the most comfortable and pleasant. Just spread your hands and hand it over to the master and subordinates. It was easier than working as a watchmaker in Bada Hutong."

Li Yu smiled:

"Write it down. Don't miss a single word of Mr. Chen's original words."

"Yes."

A clerk, carrying the four treasures of the study, slipped in from the door.

"You dare to play with me?"

"Mr. Chen, where did you hold your position?"

"Shuntian Mansion, Fourth Grade Mansion Prime Minister."

"I do not believe."

"Little bastard, why don't you believe it? Don't scream at me."

Obviously, Mr. Chen is very angry.

It is easy to have a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage in the future.

Just in time, the execution chamber clerks came in holding files.

Li Yu asked them:

"Shuntianfufu Cheng, does he work in Bada Hutong?"

puff,
One of the scribes couldn't hold it back and dropped the file on the floor.

Mr. Chen suddenly stood up and wanted to kick someone.

But age is not forgiving, and the speed is a bit slow.

Li Yu raised his foot and kicked him in the knee.

In the flash of lightning, Mr. Chen fell back into his chair.

A moment of dizziness,
"Mr. Chen, the emperor has issued a decree. The Jiangnan gentry has ulterior motives. Please clean them up for me."

"These are the people on the list who openly blocked officers and soldiers with swords. There are witnesses, physical evidence, circumstantial evidence, and oral confessions. What do you call them?"

……

Mr. Chen is scared.

After the dizziness subsided, he hurriedly left the government office.

Get on the carriage and go back home.

Li Yu also left at the same time, just in the same direction.

Mr. Chen probably wanted to regain some ground, opened the curtain, and said coldly:

"Young man, I would like to remind you, keep a line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future."

"is it?"

"The soldier crossing the river has only taken five steps to show his majesty, and it's time to call it a day."

Li Yu looked at the short, fat old man coldly.

I thought to myself, although this person is arrogant, he can see clearly.

The pawns who have charged for the imperial power since ancient times are like shooting stars.

It shines for a moment and then falls.

Old Man Chen thought he had the upper hand and sneered:
"Let me put it aside, you won't survive more than 3 years."

The voice just fell,

A little beggar rushed out from the street corner and rushed towards the carriage.

Bypassing the servants and pushing the driver,

He jumped into the car.

Only a scream was heard,
The curtain was splattered with blood.

The little beggar jumped out of the carriage and brandished a bloody dagger.

Chen's servants were frightened by his ferocity and did not dare to block the way.

Watching him helplessly, he disappeared behind the courtyard wall.

……

Li Yu was stunned, wondering if this plot was going wrong.

guards,
Everyone drew their swords and guarded themselves vigilantly.

"Father, please retreat to the castle first, and I'll go investigate." Xiao Wu said calmly.

He walked up to the carriage and observed it.

Old Chen's fat body was still twitching and bleeding.

His trachea was cut open with a dagger, killing him with one stab.

The Chen family servants who reacted shouted and fled in all directions.

He must have gone back to report his funeral.

Li Yu's brain went down for a while and then returned to normal.

The assassins were not sent by themselves.

Someone wants to frame him?

but,

He suddenly felt that the little beggar's back looked familiar.

"Xiaowu, I'll go back to the castle first."

"After the sun goes down, you lead people to surround the City God's Temple and catch all the beggars there. They want to live."

……

Mr. Chen, a gentry who once reached the fourth rank of officialdom, was assassinated near the government office.

News is like the wind,
It spread throughout Suzhou Prefecture.

Many people suspected that Li Yu was the instigator.

Huang Wenyun was also shocked when he heard about it.

Of course he could guess that this could not be Li Yu's handiwork, it was too rough.

"Post a notice offering a reward of 100 taels for the capture of the murderer."

"Send someone to the Chen Mansion again to investigate the enemies, especially the traitors."

Huang Si heard the string song and knew its elegant meaning.

After discussing with the people in the execution room, we had a rough idea of ​​how to solve the case.

Two days later,
A shocking scandal broke out in the Chen Mansion.
The housekeeper actually had an affair with Mr. Chen's fourth concubine.

People loot and get it!

After being tortured, the housekeeper admitted the crime.

In order to seize the concubine, he ordered the Jianghu killer to assassinate his master.

It was arranged at the gate of the government office to frame Li Yu.

Li Xiaowu also successfully captured dozens of beggars.

Some of them took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

……

Li Yu looked at these dirty beggars and said,

I found that familiar figure from behind, Ergou.Her hair was in tangled locks, she had no shoes, and she was wearing an invisible white robe.

His eyes were nonchalant.

"That was the food and wine he rewarded me with that day."

A group of little beggars were boiling.

Everyone looked at Li Yu and laughed.

"Why did you kill Mr. Chen? Do you have any grudge against him?"

"No, I don't know him."

"Why is that?"

"Because I owe you a meal and have no money to repay you. I happened to beg and passed by that day, so I killed someone for you."

Ergou said it confidently, and Li Yu was dumbfounded.

What logic is this?

"You killed people to repay my kindness?"

"Yes, I packed some wine and food that day and took them back to celebrate Lao Zhanzi's birthday."

"Who is the old man?"

"The leader of the beggar gang in the west of our city."

"What about people?"

"Dead. He died the next day after eating that meal."

The beggars nodded,

It means that the meal was rewarded in a timely manner.

Before Lao Ganzi died, he ate half a chicken, a fish, and took a sip of wine.

It brought a perfect end to the beggars career.

"Do you have any ideas for the future?"

"Keep begging."

Hahahaha, a group of beggars laughed happily.

"Just follow me."

"What do you do?"

"I am also a member of the Jianghu. Follow me and you will have no worries about food and drink. All you need is courage."

Ergou sniffed his nose and waved his black hand:
"Sure, you will be our new pole from now on."

……

Shaved, cleaned, top to bottom, all new.

Come down this time,
There were hundreds of casualties caused by lice, which turned the river black.

Li Jiajun,
Another piece of pure strength has been added.

After 4 days of rest,

These people were thrown into the training ground.

Li Yu requested,

Shape them with the strictest training and discipline.

Form an independent musketry team,

What they like is their courage, their wildness to dare to kill people at a young age.

No worries, no pollution of the times.

in the study,
Li Xiaowu took the copy copied from the government office and read loudly:

"The motive of this case is obvious, the process is detailed, and the witnesses and testimonies are complete. A bloody dagger was also found. After verification, it was consistent with the wound."

"Chen's family witnessed the rape scene with their own eyes. It is of no significance to this case. We only ask the government to severely punish the murderer."

"This morning, the concubine and the housekeeper were paraded through the streets and stabbed."

"Mr. Chen felt that she was too shameless to live in Suzhou and had already separated her family. Several young masters fought over the family property."

Du Ren smiled and said:

"This case was handled beautifully, neatly and without criticism. Was it the work of the military advisor?"

"No, Master Huang's hint."

Huang Wenyun took decisive action on this matter.

The sophistication of his methods is impressive.

Even Du Ren said:

"The chain of evidence is closed, it's reasonable. It even smeared Mr. Chen's reputation after his death. It's wonderful."

"The Chen family has no shame in making any more trouble, and old friends of the same age cannot question and intervene."

"It can be called a textbook case conclusion."

"Ayu, you are right. Huang Wenyun's ability far exceeds that of Ma Zhongyi."

……

Li Yu said while flipping through the intelligence briefing:
"So we can never underestimate him at any time. We should pay attention to him and grasp more of his tricks."

"No one from a poor family has reached this point just by luck."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped his hand,

He raised his head and said in surprise:
"A fight has begun at Changxing Coal Mine."

"Is Liu Qian working hard?"

"Yes."

Li Yu flipped through the detailed information, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"Aren, there is an old friend, Mrs. Zhen, do you still have any memories?"

"Ah, that beautiful widow."

Du Ren also smiled, thinking of the lawyer's fee, 2 taels.

"The Zhen family is also working on the Changxing Coal Mine. Mr. Zhen is also working on Gonghuo. The guerrilla in the Changxing camp is the current husband of the young lady from the Zhen family."

"So fast?"

Seeing Li Yu's confusion, Du Ren explained:
"When I was filing the divorce case for her, my sweetheart was still an artist. Within a year, he changed his mind?"

The two couldn't help but laugh.

Zhen's taste is not the key.

The key is to fight back the claws of the Zhen family.

"Their plan is to wait until the miners rebel before the Changxing Battalion sends troops to quell the rebellion."

"Good calculation."

"When the time comes, we will surround the mining area and kill them indiscriminately. All the fault will be placed on the miners."

……

"Send another transport ship and send a team of musketeers to the other side under darkness. Tell Liu Qian that the Changxing Coal Mine is mine. Anyone who dares to get involved will be killed."

"As ordered."

High-quality coal mines are Li Yu's current urgent need.

The garbage coal produced by Xishan Coal Mine is useless for anything except cooking and heating.

A Changxing coal mine is nearby and has convenient water transportation.
It is truly a gift from God.

The Changxing Coal Mine is 100 miles away in a straight line.
The miners angrily repelled the mine owner's first attack.

Killed a dozen thugs on the spot.

Grief, anger, fear, and confusion enveloped everyone.

"The owner of the mine is so ungrateful that he dug the tunnel without reinforcing the wood. Isn't this just asking us to die?"

"They also buried Fifth Brother Wang alive, you beast."

"Only 30 Wen a day, how can you get such a low salary in the world?"

Brother Wang Wu,
He was an elected negotiator who was buried alive when he met with the mine owner.

The mine owner is a ruthless local man.

He has no habit of compromise and only believes in fighting violence with violence.

Therefore, the conflict is getting more and more intense.

Just now, thugs armed with swords suddenly attacked.

and the miners holding clubs and shovels, fighting head-on.

The miners' physical strength and collective organizational power played a huge role in going down the mine all year round.

The thugs are scared,

They made a big deal out to the mine owners, asking for more people and better weapons.

……

The nearby inspection department,
For the sake of annual dividends, a team of archers was sent out.

He also borrowed some bows and arrows from the nearby inspection office to give to the thugs.

Long-range projection weapons are dimensionality reduction strikes in the civilian market.

The miners were hit by a hail of arrows, killing six and injuring eight.

He retreated into the mine in embarrassment,

The thugs excitedly surrounded the injured, set up a bonfire, and burned them alive.

The screams of his companions were heard in the mine,
The miners smashed the walls of the pit angrily, leaving stains of blood.

"Brother Wang Liu, let's rush out and fight these beasts, shall we?"

"No, they have bows and arrows, we can't rush through."

"Even if you fight to the death, you must take revenge."

One of the miners yelled,

He was carrying a door panel and could not suppress his desire to kill someone.

Brother Wang Liu,
He is the younger brother of Brother Wang who was buried alive.

The brothers are not locals, but they are literate.

In addition to being righteous,

He is a recognized talker among miners.

When writing letters or mediating conflicts, the two brothers would be asked to come forward.

……

"Brother Six, I have an idea."

"You said."

"I have a friend who works under Mr. Li in Suzhou Prefecture. Mr. Li is the top person in the world of Suzhou Prefecture and is very powerful."

"The Master Li you are talking about, is he a lackey of the government?"

"impossible."

"Do you have any evidence?"

"The clerk of the household in Wu County found trouble with Master Li's people, but Master Li ordered them to be killed together with their houses."

"Can the government let him go?"

"The government took the money and didn't dare to let go of a penny. There were hundreds of brothers under Mr. Li, who would kill whomever he wanted."

In the mine,
Everyone was shocked and speechless.

This is too relieved and too domineering.

The proposed person was arranged by Liu Qian.

One of his distant relatives works on Xishan Island.

Liu Qian promised,

As long as he facilitates this matter, he will be given a job as a carpenter. During the apprenticeship, he will receive wages and food and accommodation will be provided.

Wang Liu still had some sense and just asked:

"Can you contact Mr. Li's person?"

"can."

"Then please ask them to come up with conditions."

Inside the mine,

It is very complicated, with big pits connected to small pits, some are dead ends, and some are connected.

Except for the miners, no one else dared to go down the mine.

The thugs could only scream outside.

"Gather firewood and light a fire to smoke them."

"If there is no food in the tunnel, I don't believe they can eat coal to satisfy their hunger."

The mine owner immediately pointed out the miners' biggest weakness.

There is no food underground.

"Young men, light a bonfire nearby. Each of these people comes out and kills the other."

"Master, do you want to keep a few of them? If you kill them all, who will dig coal for you?"

"What are you afraid of? The poor ghosts of the Qing Dynasty will continue to die and their descendants will be endless."

"Master, you are wise."

"People are dead, but the mines are still there. You can still enjoy life with me, don't be afraid."

mine owner,

I wanted to ask the officers and soldiers of the Changxing Battalion for help, but unexpectedly these Qiu Ba lions were so open-minded that I had no choice but to give up.

He also invited strong squads from the county government to help out.
He was also declined, which gave him a bad feeling.

……

During the holidays, I never treated them badly.

The Mid-Autumn Festival just passed,

8 boxes of Guangyin mooncakes were given away.

These unscrupulous gangsters eat people without spitting out their bones.

The mine owner's heart is agitated,
He suddenly recalled something. Mr. Zhen of Huzhou Prefecture had proposed to buy his mine.

Could it be that

Did he give more to the officials?
As soon as this thought occurred, he broke into a cold sweat.
