Pirate Song

After hearing Gao Huaiyuan's words, Xing Butou and the others felt a little ashamed, nodded and said, "Gaoxian Lieutenant is really thoughtful, why didn't we think of going to the Goulan brothel? Damn it! What Young Master Gao said today woke us up!"

"Lieutenant Gao Xian, I will take my brothers to investigate now. If this guy has such a habit, he will definitely leave some clues! Damn! My elm head! Why didn't I think of it?" Xing Xing Catcher patted his head and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Brothers, you don't have to underestimate yourself so much. In fact, you have done a lot of things. Otherwise, I would not have seen some clues in these files, let alone whether it is what I think now. There is no conclusion yet, so please don’t flatter me! But everyone should be careful, this matter should be investigated in a more secretive way, and don’t startle the snake! In case something is discovered, first focus on the suspicious person and investigate it secretly. After knowing their identities, it's not too late for us to think of a way to attack! To deal with such murderers, we can't rely on personal bravery! Be careful, everyone, and come back and report to me immediately if you have any news!" Gao Huaiyuan instructed everyone.

After Gao Huaiyuan arranged this matter, Catcher Xing immediately sent down a group of arresters under him, and began to make unannounced visits in various Goulan brothels in Daye County. I didn't stop visiting the kilns, and I was very familiar with doing this. I went to the kilns while investigating the case, but it also responded to their wishes, and I was very busy.

To investigate such a case, Gao Huaiyuan naturally didn't have to go to the brothel in person. He started to arrange other things on the other side, which was to find Guo Liang and start to reorganize the archers of Daye County. According to the regulations of the Song Dynasty, each county could Having a certain number of standing archers, the so-called township soldiers, generally has a county quota of about 20 to 50 people, who are led by the county lieutenant to conduct drills. Supplement to the prison house.

When necessary, these people are still the defensive force of the county. They can be regarded as a standing armed force under the control of the county government. Time to rotate.

It turned out that when Wang Xianwei was in power, Daye County originally had [-] archers, and Zhang Qing was the archer team at that time. Unfortunately, the year before last, Gao Huaiyuan led a team to serve in front of the army. Most of the archers also followed to the front of the army, and most of them died in the battle at Tiger's mouth. Later, Wang Xianwei himself rushed to Xiangyang, and brought the remaining archers to the front of the army. Now I haven't come back yet, and the result is that there is no township soldier team in the county now.

After the Chinese New Year, Guo Liang just came back from the army, and Liu Zhixian left Guo Liang in the county government. At that time, he planned to re-establish the archers team, but Gao Huaiyuan soon took over the post of county lieutenant, and Liu Zhixian simply ignored it. When it was over, Guo Liang was handed over to Gao Huaiyuan.

In such a big Daye County, there are only a few people to maintain law and order. It is conceivable that it is a drop in the bucket, so Gao Huaiyuan can't just rely on Xing Butou and his gang to do these things. He was not in his position before, so naturally he did not plan for it. , Now that I have done this, I have to take care of this matter.

Guo Liang was very happy to be able to work with Gao Huaiyuan again, and he promised that he would select qualified Xiangyong for Gao Huaiyuan and train them to become archers.

Gao Huaiyuan alone can't do this matter alone, and it also involves issues such as household registration, small grain population, etc. Gao Huaiyuan approached Liu Zhi County to discuss this matter, and Liu Zhi County was also deeply touched by the messy situation in Daye County during this period. Worried, he immediately ordered Zhang Xiancheng to take two censors in charge of household registration to count the local population of Daye, and to help Gao Huaiyuan select a suitable Xiangyong to be the archer.

All these things made the county government officers very busy. Gao Huaiyuan himself took people to the countryside to inspect the matter, and since the census has been carried out, many problems have been found out. Not to mention the big discrepancy between the registered household registration and the actual situation, many farmers who used to own land have now been occupied by some large households in the township, and now people have already left their hometowns to find other ways of living. I didn’t register, and it was found out that I had concealed Dingkou. In short, I found out after this investigation that the original household registration has long since disappeared, which will have a great impact on the future drafting Ding into the army.

And this incident shocked Liu Zhi County a lot. The household registration management situation in the area under the jurisdiction of his parent official in Daye County is so chaotic. He, the county magistrate who has served in Daye for many years, is naturally to blame, so he immediately issued an order The county magistrate and Zhu Bo went into battle together and began to conduct a census of Ding households in each township and village.

This incident lasted for nearly several months before the household registration of Daye County was reorganized and a good foundation was laid for the next step of county administration in Daye County. At least through this census, Gao Huaiyuan learned that, Daye County, a medium-sized county, has a population of tens of thousands. From this aspect, we can also see the huge population of the Southern Song Dynasty.

And Gao Huaiyuan also learned from Ji Xiancheng that a census was conducted in the Southern Song Dynasty during Guangzong's reign, and the total population of the Southern Song Dynasty should be more than 8000 million. A document after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty said that after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, a large-scale census was conducted, but the national population was only over 1000 million, which also included the current population of the Jin Kingdom and Xixia. When the Mongolian army wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty, it killed at least 7000 million Han people. It can be said that there was no one out of ten. Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but feel chills for such a huge Han nationality, which was almost wiped out by the Mongols!

While Gao Huaiyuan was busy checking the population and finding out about the number of villagers, Xing Butou's investigation also began to get news. After hearing the news, they said that they had met such a perverted person, who liked to torture women in different ways, and the prostitutes who did his business were terrified when they mentioned that person.

And Catcher Xing also kept an eye out, sorted out the people these prostitutes said, went to investigate secretly, and finally found three people who had such behavior.

Two of them obviously did not meet the characteristics of the people they were looking for. One of them was a dry old man in his 50s. It may be that some kind of function is not perfect, which leads to psychopathy, while the other is a lame man in his 30s. , There is money in the family, and it is not suitable for the person they are looking for.

In the end, Catcher Xing and the others set their sights on a person from Huahu Town in the north of Daye County. After a secret investigation, they got to know the situation of this person through the neighbors. This person is about 30 years old. , is a widower, named Zhang Cheng, a well-known local rogue, with only a few acres of Susukida at home, no relatives, idle around all day, either drinking and fighting, or likes to hook up with some unscrupulous women, he is notorious in the local village.

This Zhang Cheng came from the north in his early years, and his father was a soldier, but he died early in the army. This Zhang Cheng had learned some kung fu from his father, but after his father died, his mother couldn't control him, so he Married him a daughter-in-law, but within a year, his wife hanged herself inexplicably. His old mother was also pissed off by this guy a few years ago, and he also became a widower. Soon the family will be poor and poor.

Moreover, this guy also made friends with a group of idlers like him. He had done a lot of sneaky business in the past. After he injured his neighbor two years ago, he ran away for a while. When he got rich, he didn't see him doing any business, and suddenly he became rich like this.

Gao Huaiyuan heard the news that Xing Butou and others came back from the investigation, and immediately said: "You sent someone to secretly watch this guy. This person is quite suspicious. I guess we have found the right owner this time! Now don't startle the snake, let's take a look. Let’s talk about who this guy associates with, if this guy is one of them, we must kill them all!"

"Your subordinates obey!" Xing Butou and the others immediately cheered up.

Gao Huaiyuan was still worried, because Xing Butou and the others were conspicuous in the market, and they walked around the countryside all day long. Many people knew them, so after thinking about it, he called Guo Liang over, and sent him from his house. Crouching Tiger Villa transferred six or seven of Zhou Hao and others. These people seldom walked around the market, so few people knew them. Gao Huaiyuan handed them over to Xing Butou. Head's auxiliary force to help them investigate the case.

Catcher Xing knew that Gao Huaiyuan's gang of teenagers had great abilities, so he didn't dare to underestimate them. In addition, Guo Liang followed Gao Huaiyuan to serve in the army, so they were all capable people, so he treated them very well. polite.

This time when Zhou Hao saw Guo Liang, he was naturally overjoyed. Being able to kill the enemy together on the battlefield was considered a fateful friendship, and the two were very happy.

Soon they pretended to sneak into the vicinity of Zhuangzi where Zhang Cheng was located in Huahu Town, lurked down, and kept Zhang Cheng under surveillance.

There was no movement from Zhang Cheng for many consecutive days. This guy was just hanging around all day long, drinking and drinking in the small restaurant at the head of the village, and then gambled with some idlers in the village. Who is he associated with.

Catcher Xing couldn't help feeling a little anxious, so he asked Gao Huaiyuan if he had found the wrong person. This guy didn't seem to have any changes!

Gao Huaiyuan is not very sure, but he always feels that this Zhang Cheng is not so simple. Even if he has nothing to do with these cases, he is probably not a good bird. For such a person, he will not be like the future generations. Give him a presumption of innocence, the way of handling cases in this era is the standard presumption of guilt, even if you have not committed a crime, arresting the wrong person can still beat you to death.

"Don't rush to draw conclusions. Sometimes you have to be patient when investigating a case. We don't have any other clues about this matter right now. Let's keep an eye on this guy for a few more days. Anyway, according to what you said, this guy is nothing. Good bird, staying in this world is also a disaster, let's see how this guy gets rich!" Gao Huaiyuan put down what he was doing, and said to Xing Butou.

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's order, Catcher Xing nodded helplessly and agreed, then collapsed again and continued to monitor Zhang Cheng.

After staring at Zhang Cheng for many days in a row, Zhou Hao and Guo Liang finally sent back a message that Zhang Cheng had started to act a little abnormally these two days, and he no longer wandered around with nothing to do, but ran to Ao on the east side of Daye. In the area around the village, wandering around there for nothing, he even changed into a tattered clothes and pretended to be a beggar, and went to the village to beg, but he didn't find anyone meeting or secretly communicating with him.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately went up against the crime, took off his green official uniform, put on a casual suit, secretly carried weapons, took Xing Butou and others, and went out of the city towards that Zhang Cheng's house.

After it got dark, Gao Huaiyuan arrived outside the village where Zhang Cheng was. A boy from Crouching Tiger Village ran out from the side of the road and caught Gao Huaiyuan.

"Is that guy back now?" Gao Huaiyuan asked immediately.

"I'm back! That guy came back from Ao's Village in the afternoon, and he went into his yard and didn't come out again. I don't know what this guy is doing!" The boy replied immediately.

"It seems that these cases may really be inseparable from this guy. If I guessed right, this guy should be waiting for his accomplices to determine who will be murdered next time! Everyone pay close attention to tonight , don't get out!" Gao Huaiyuan is now basically sure that this Zhang Cheng is one of the people who committed several major crimes, and it seems that it is time to take action against such a murderer.

After Gao Huaiyuan arrived at Zhang Cheng's village, he went to check around Zhang Cheng's house at night, and saw the lights in Zhang Cheng's house from a distance, and the guy was alone in the house and didn't know what he was doing.

In order not to startle the snake, Gao Huaiyuan didn't let everyone enter the village. Instead, he dispersed his people around the village and hid. Not only did Zhang Cheng's house be monitored, but the entire periphery of the village was also under surveillance.

This time, Gao Huaiyuan was right again. Many years of experience in handling cases in his previous life helped him a lot. He acted very carefully. After wandering around the entrance of the village for a while, he slipped into the village and soon got into Zhang Cheng's house.

Standing beside Gao Huaiyuan, Xing Butou stretched his neck to look towards Zhang Cheng's house, and whispered to Gao Huaiyuan: "It seems that Gao Xianwei is really an expert, I guess this guy is not a good guy, now his accomplices have come , shall we do it?"

Gao Huaiyuan stood in the grove at the entrance of the village, shook his head slightly and said: "Don't be busy, you stay here, don't act rashly, wait for me to sneak into Zhang Cheng's yard first, and listen to what they have to say before talking. It's all good, don't scare them away!"

"Is Lieutenant Gao going alone? Otherwise, I will go with you!" Zhang Liang, the arrester under Xing Butou, is also a relatively capable person, and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"No, these guys are very vigilant, I'll go there alone! Gather up and listen to the news here. If I notify you, I will immediately surround Zhang Cheng's house, and no one will let go! Wait! " Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said, then lowered his head to check the clothes on his body, gathered the lapel around his waist, and carried the waist knife on his back, after making sure that there was nothing hanging, he walked out of the woods and quietly walked into the village.

After this time in the village, there were no more human voices, and it seemed very quiet, only a dog from a big family at the east end of the village would bark twice from time to time. Gao Huaiyuan stood on tiptoe and walked in like a civet cat. The village, without disturbing anyone, first touched the place where Zhou Hao was hiding.

"Brother is here! They've already gone in, but it's not convenient for us to go in now. They are very vigilant, and they actually left a person guarding the door in front of the front yard!" Zhou Hao whispered to Gao Huaiyuan, pointing to the front yard gate of Zhang Cheng's house. .

Gao Huaiyuan really saw a figure swaying at the front door of Zhang Cheng's house, and thought to himself that luckily he came to see Zhou Hao first, otherwise, he would just jump into the yard and it would be a big disaster!

"It's okay! This guy, this yard is not too small. I'll go through the back wall. You greet the people in our Zhuangzi, and call Guo Liang by the way. Get ready, maybe we might do something tonight! Be careful, everyone, don't hurt me. It's time for our own people!" Gao Huaiyuan nodded to Zhou Hao.

"It's big brother! It's been a long time since I've been active! It's time to practice!" Zhou Hao started to show off a lot now, and after stretching his waist, he replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gao Huaiyuan was sweating, what kind of people he had trained!Now Zhou Hao has also become a violent maniac. Every few days, if he doesn't find someone to do it, his whole body will itch!

Gao Huaiyuan nodded to Zhou Hao, and didn't say any more. Compared with Xing Butou's group of arresters, he still trusted the tacit understanding between Zhou Hao's group and himself, and turned around to the backyard of Zhang Cheng's house. He jumped up with both legs, stretched out one arm and clasped the top of the wall, turned his body slightly, and climbed up to the top of the wall without a sound.

Looking from the wall, there was nothing planted in the yard, and it was empty. Gao Huaiyuan slid down the wall like a civet cat and fell into the backyard of Zhang Cheng's house. Hidden in the shadows under the eaves, it looks like a stone from a distance, not attracting anyone's attention.

At this time, several voices came from the room, Gao Huaiyuan put his ears on the window paper, and listened carefully.

"You know you're thinking about women. I've never seen you treat women like this! Let me tell you, Zhang Cheng, you should restrain me a bit in the future. If things go on like this, sooner or later everyone will be harmed by you! This time You are not allowed to torture and kill women anymore! Give me some work!" A man's curse sounded.
