Wentang

Chapter 360

The yamen servants are local snakes, and they quickly found a bullock cart with two mattresses on it.Several people carefully carried Xu Shanying into the car, and hurried to the yamen.

At this time, the surrounding people almost knew that the person who was assassinated just now was Qingshui Hou Yueshan, and they all gathered together to discuss.Most of them showed expressions of hatred and condemned those assassins.

There were also some people who were full of remorse and scolded themselves loudly for why they didn't go up to help, but Yue Shan couldn't hear them anymore.

After returning to the yamen, the doctor who had been waiting for a long time came over immediately to take over the treatment.Yue Shan ordered the five brothers to be temporarily placed in the side hall, and only then did he meet Tian Xuechen and Gan Yuanfeng.

"Yuehou, are you alright?" Tian Xuechen asked with concern.

"What can I do?" Yue Shan glared at him and said, "Let the yamen servants and navy officers hunt and arrest them wantonly. The bigger the noise, the better."

"Here." Tian Xuechen said hastily.

"I'm afraid that the remnants of these people have already left." Gan Yuanfeng said.

"Of course I know that even these people may not have any remnants. I have people hunted down not to catch any remnants, but for other purposes." Yue Shan explained.

"I heard that those assassins killed themselves on the spot if they failed in one blow. They should be dead soldiers." Tian Xuechen said after ordering his subordinates to return.

"Nine times out of ten, I just don't know who wrote it." Yue Shan nodded.

"The identity of the dead is generally unknown to outsiders, so it should be difficult to find out. Instead of looking for the identity of the assassin, Yue Hou should think about who is most likely to attack you." Tian Xuechen said.

"You can't find the murderer by guessing, and whoever said that the dead can't be traced?" Yue Shan sneered:

"Tell the bureaucrats and gentry in Dizhou that I am very angry. If they can't give me an explanation within three days, the six-room classics and scribes who were originally recruited from Dizhou scholars will be changed from outside Dizhou. recruit."

"Do you suspect that the person who did it was from Dizhou?" Tian Xuechen was taken aback and asked.

"Whether you are from Dizhou or not, if you want to find the murderer behind the scenes, leave them, these local snakes. Since these four dead men have existed, they will definitely leave traces. If we can't find out, it doesn't mean that these local snakes can't be found." Yue Shan road.

Although Yue Shan doesn't know much about criminal investigation, he knows that as long as a person exists, there must be a track of activities. The difference is that some are more secretive, and some are easy to query.

Four living people ran to Yanci County to assassinate, no matter how secretive their whereabouts were, they would leave traces.Mobilize the strength of the local snakes, and it is very possible to find clues.

Sometimes the news sources of local snakes are faster and more reliable than the official ones, it depends on whether you can use them.

The reform of the yamen requires a large number of officials to add three classes and six rooms, especially the history of the six rooms can be called senior officials, only one step away from the official.But Yue Shan meant that these officials would be recruited from local scholars.

After the news came out, the gentry and landlords in Dizhou were very excited. Most of the scholars in this era are their children, and the real poor people are unable to study.

But now that Yueshan is using the six-room scribe as a threat, the gentry and landlord class in Dizhou will definitely try their best to find the murderer.

This was the best way Yue Shan thought of along the way.

In fact, it was exactly as he thought. After the news spread, the gentry and landlords in Dizhou couldn't sit still, and everyone came to Zhao's house to inquire about the news.

The two brothers Zhao Jingze were the first to join Yueshan in Dizhou, and they could speak well in front of Yueshan.Whether everyone admits it or not, they are already de facto representatives of the Dizhou gentry circle.

So when something happens, the first thing everyone thinks of is them.

"What the hell does my nephew Qingshuihou mean? How can such an agreed-upon matter be changed at will." An old man with white beard and hair said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Yes, yes, this is what he said in advance."

"It was because he promised the six-room scribes to recruit us from the local area that he supported him in reforming the yamen. How can he go back on his word now?"

"Our Dalang Erlang Ting has been studying hard at home recently, and now he suddenly changed his mind, where is it for us?"

The others were also chattering non-stop. In short, they were full of grievances, and Yue Shan didn't talk about credibility.

Looking at the faces of these people, Zhao Jingze didn't say a word, and slowly picked up the tea, his heart was full of ridicule.

Everyone chatted on twitter for a long time, and seeing that Zhao Jingze hadn't answered, finally realized that something was wrong, they all shut up their voices with embarrassment and returned to their seats.

Of course, some people got up angrily and asked: "Zhao Jingze, what kind of rules are you? We have so many old and old friends who came here to save face for you, you..."

"Crack!" Zhao Jingze put the cup heavily on the table, interrupted the man's words, and said with a sneer, "Who told you to come to me, I beg you? Remember clearly, you are the ones who begged me."

"If I hadn't tried my best to plead for mercy, your bones would have been completely cold. Now that the blood outside the South City Gate has not dried completely, you have forgotten all of this?"

"Why does Qingshuihou depend on your face to act, you will really put gold on your face. Believe it or not, if this matter does not have a satisfactory result, blood will flow into rivers outside the South City Gate again?"

"I can't guarantee whose blood will be shed at that time." Zhao Jingze said sadly.

The expressions on everyone's faces froze, and they could no longer speak. Some people still felt flustered and out of breath when they recalled the scene that day.

"Ahem... Why did my nephew say that? We are all from our own family. We know that you are a loyal person who came here to find a way for you, right?" At this time, the old man with white beard and hair said with a sneer.

"If you ask for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help." Zhao Jingze nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yue Hou was very angry when he was assassinated in the street. According to the opinions of the nobles above, he is planning to kill people, whether there is or not. As long as the evidence is suspicious, the family will be ransacked and exterminated.”

Hearing this, many people paled and shivered. They remembered the small actions they made when they opposed the construction of the new city some time ago.If there is a real massacre, there is a high probability that they will not be able to escape.

"I used my wealth and life to guarantee that this matter was definitely not done by the locals of Dizhou, so I reluctantly persuaded him." Zhao Jingze said.

"I heard that those assassins are dead men. It's not that I'm underestimating myself. No one in Dizhou can afford to support dead men. This matter must not be done by people from Dizhou."

"Of course I know it wasn't done by our locals, but Yuehou was indeed assassinated in the Dizhou border, and we can't escape the suspicion." Zhao Jingze sighed:
"Besides, the assassin broke into Yanci County to kill people. He didn't get any news beforehand, which also made him doubt the ability of us Dizhou people to handle affairs."

"He even suspected that some of our local people had heard the news in advance but deliberately kept it secret and did not report it. In this way, would he still dare to use our local people?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although this reasoning sounded strange, it really left them speechless.The key is that Yue Shan holds the power, he can do whatever he says, they can only listen.

"These seven days are the last chance for Marquis Yue to give the locals. If no clues can be found, no matter whether we did it or not, the six-room scribes will be recruited from outside Dizhou."

"And in Dizhou, I don't think that anyone in Dizhou will become an official in ten or twenty years."
