Concubine

Chapter 508 Tatar
"You are so beautiful!" Cheng Ziqin restrained his smile, turned over and got off the hammock with a pretty face, helped him untie the ropes of the hammock, tied them to the four trees separately, and said, "If you don't grasp the essentials at the beginning, you should get out of the hammock in three months." Tie a hammock between one or four trees so that it won’t fall over, and when you get used to it, learn to sleep on two trees.”

Yang Tashan slapped his forehead: "I see you slept soundly."

Cheng Ziqin returned to her hammock, turned over, and said, "Okay, go to sleep, get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning and hurry."

The hammock was tied to four trees, and it was very stable. Yang Tashan climbed onto the hammock, swayed around, and felt relieved.

At five o'clock the next day, Yang Tashan heard someone calling himself in his sleep: "Little slacker, wake up, it's time for us to go." Yang Tashan opened his eyes and found that the surroundings were pitch black, and the moon didn't know where to hide. Gone, even the stars are gone.

Although Yang Tashan was used to getting up early to practice, he didn't get up at five o'clock.Sitting up on the hammock with sleepy eyes, he rubbed his eyes: "It's...it's not dawn yet!"

"Okay, then you can continue to sleep, I'll go first!" Cheng Ziqin had already packed the hammock, walked to the side of the horse, untied the reins, got on the horse, and beat the horse away.

"Hey! You really left me alone! Wait for me! Ziqin!"

Yang Tashan got off the hammock in a hurry, untied the rope in a hurry, put the hammock away, put it under his armpit, got on the horse and was about to go, but he didn't buy it when he got off the horse, and he kept his head up and neighed.Only then did Yang Tashan realize that he hadn't untied the reins yet, so he hurried down to untie the reins, and then rode his horse to chase down the mountain.

After a while, I saw Cheng Ziqin.She just rode the horse and walked slowly. When she heard the shout behind her, she didn't look back, and said with a smile: "Why don't you sleep? If you want to be a fast catcher, you won't be able to enjoy the happiness."

Yang Tashan rode his horse and walked side by side with her, rubbed his eyes, and said unconvinced: "Hmph, it sounds like you've been a police officer for 100 years, isn't it only a few months for you!"

"Although I became a policeman only a year earlier than you, my grandfather and father were both policemen. I have followed my grandfather and father around to investigate cases since I was a child. This policeman has much more experience than you. "

It is true that he is a family of police officers, Cheng Ziqin's professionalism also makes Yang Tashan have to admire.

The two rode their horses down the mountain. When the sun rose at dawn, they came to a small river, washed and drank the horses, and then rode forward.

In this way, the two slept in hammocks at [-] o'clock at night and set off at [-] o'clock. It can be said that they traveled day and night. At noon a few days later, they finally arrived at Waihuai Village, Huan County, at the foot of the Great Wall.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they heard the sound of weeping faintly. The two felt a little strange, and rode their horses into the village. Along the way, they saw burnt houses, corpses scattered around the roadside, and villagers kneeling on the ground crying.

Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan were even more puzzled. Could it be that there are strong thieves in the village?

The two saw a white-haired old man sitting on the ground, holding on to a male corpse and crying. They got off their horses and walked over to take a look. They saw that the corpse on the ground had been stabbed several times and half of his head had been chopped off. Yes, I was taken aback.Cheng Ziqin asked, "Old man? Did something happen in the village?"

The old man raised his tearful eyes and saw the two men wearing fast black clothes. He quickly stood up and saluted: "You two officials, last night, the Tatar cavalry attacked our village by surprise. All the adult men and young women were kidnapped! My son resisted and was hacked to death by them. My son..."

Tatar is the name of the Northern Yuan regime that retreated to the Mongolian Plateau and the Mongolian people under its rule in the Ming Dynasty.Northern Shaanxi and Tatar border, and the armies of both sides often harass and plunder each other. Most of the Great Wall in this area was built during the Qin Dynasty and even the Warring States Period. It has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are gaps everywhere. Therefore, the Tatar cavalry often entered through the gaps in the Great Wall to plunder, young men were captured for hard labor, and women were used as camp prostitutes.Yang Tashan and Cheng Ziqin glanced at each other, and they both thought of one thing, whether Zhao Shun, the husband of the murdered woman Wu family they were looking for, was also captured by the Tatars, or hacked to death?If that was the case, the two of them would have come here day and night, but they would have gotten nothing.

Cheng Ziqin asked where Lizheng lived in the village, and the two rode to Lizheng's house. They saw a dead body in the yard, and an old woman with white hair was crying.

The two dismounted and entered the yard.Cheng Ziqin asked: "Old lady, does Li Zheng live here?"

Seeing that it was two black-clothed captors, the old woman burst into tears, pointing to the dead body of an old man on the ground and said: "Dead, already dead!"

The two comforted for a long time before the woman stopped her tears and told the story. It turned out that the police of Qingyang Mansion asked Li Zheng to monitor Zhao Shun and wait for the superior to investigate. Zhao Shun was detained in the firewood shed of his home. Unexpectedly, a group of hundreds of Tatar cavalry came to plunder the night before. Min Zhuang and Zhao Shun were taken away. died.

Hearing this, the two were furious.Although it is not their duty to deal with the Tatar soldiers, and neither of them has the ability to fight against the Tatar soldiers, but hearing that the Tatar soldiers are so vicious, killing and robbing people, they can't help but arouse their hearts, and they want to give the Tatar soldiers a little color.Moreover, Zhao Shun is the key clue to solve this case, and he is also likely to be a criminal suspect. Now he is captured by Tatar soldiers. If this clue is broken, this case will become a real case without a leader.

Yang Tashan thought to himself, this is his first murder case as an arrester, and the magistrate Han trusts him, so there is no fixed limit. If he still can't solve it, it would be too shameful. Could it be that he can only spend money to find a prisoner to cover the crime? ?

Both of them were sixteen or seventeen years old. The so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they both have martial arts. On the one hand, they were angry with the cruelty of the Tatars and decided to take revenge. On the other hand, they also solved the case in order to find Zhao Shun. Being bold, the two immediately decided to track down the Tatar soldiers, find Zhao Shun, and give the Tatar soldiers some color by the way.

After the two asked where the Tatar soldiers were fleeing, they rode their horses and hurriedly chased them away.The Tatar soldiers withdrew in the early hours of the morning, and now it was the afternoon, and it was only half a day away. The army moved relatively slowly and should be able to catch up.

This place is already in the desert, and the horseshoe prints left by the Tatar soldiers along the way are clearly discernible.The two followed the horseshoe prints, and they would not lose their way.

After chasing for several hours, the sky had gradually darkened at this time, but the horseshoe prints became more and more clear, indicating that this group of Tatar soldiers was not far ahead.The two were very excited, and finally they could faintly hear the sound of horseshoes.

At this time, we had to be extra careful, the two of them didn't dare to chase too closely, they followed as far as they could hear the sound of horseshoes, and waited for them to camp, then sneaked in late at night, found Zhao Shun, and by the way made the Tatar army camp his own People are on their backs.

The Tatar army camped in a low-lying and flat place. Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan tied their horses to the side of the road and climbed up the hill to observe the situation.I don't know how many troops there are.

The two dared not move, lying in the grass, quietly waiting for the barracks to calm down. In the middle of the night, everything finally calmed down. Occasionally, they could hear the weeping of Min Zhuang and women detained in the camp.

There were very few sentries around the Tatar army camp. Yang Tashan shook his head when he saw it. No wonder Tatar was no match for Ming Dynasty. Ming Chengzu personally conquered Mobei five times and killed Tatar and Waci. Now they look like this, This place is so close to the border, the Ming army may come in pursuit at any time, and they don't even have a few sentries.

After careful observation just now, they have discovered the place where the Tatars held the looted men and women. After discussing in low voices, the two sneaked down the mountain and approached the barracks.

The two wore black police clothes, that is, natural concealed colors, approached the barracks, escaped the surveillance of the sentries, and entered the barracks.

Those Minzhuang and Minnv who were arrested in Waihuai Village suddenly saw two arresters coming in, and they were both surprised and happy.While untying the rope for them, Yang Tashan and Cheng Ziqin asked in a low voice, "Where is Zhao Shun? Have you seen Zhao Shun?"

The villagers focused their attention on a skinny man in his thirties.The man was stunned when he saw that the two spies had pursued him into the Tatar barracks to find him.

Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan looked at each other, and they were overjoyed. This trip was worthwhile.Ask the minzhuang who have already untied the rope to quickly untie the rope for others, and then abscond together, the two walked to Zhao Shun, Cheng Ziqin asked: "Your name is Zhao Shun?"

"Yes. Two officials, take us away quickly."

"Wait for a while, when everyone's ropes are untied, then run away together." Time was running out, and there was no time to make detours, Cheng Ziqin asked straightforwardly: "I ask you, did you kill your wife Wu?"

Zhao Shun said: "No... no, how could I kill my wife..."

"Then how did she die?"

"I...I don't know...the last time I fled famine to Qingyang, my mother-in-law died of starvation on the way. My husband and I continued to flee famine and stayed in Qingyang Mansion for a while. Later, the imperial court came with food relief, but there were too many hungry people. When receiving the relief food, there were so many people, my wife and I got lost, and I couldn’t find her. I thought she had returned to the village, so I went back to the village by myself, but she didn’t come back. I heard that the last time I came The Qingyang mansion officer told me quickly, and then I found out that my wife is dead..." After saying this, I was a little choked up, "I really didn't kill my wife... I have been in Waihuai Village, she died in Qingyang Mansion, how can I kill her..."

Yang Tashan asked: "Have you really never left Waihuai Village during this time?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can ask the people in the village. I returned to the village two months ago and have never left."

Cheng Ziqin turned around and questioned several villagers, who also testified in a low voice, saying that Zhao Shun had indeed never left Waihuai Village.

It is more than ten days away from Qingyang Mansion to Waihuai Village in Huanxian County, Zhao Shun really has no way to be in two places.
