Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 104 The Missing Merchant

Seeing that the tigers were being beaten again, the people who came and went surrounded them immediately.

"My lord, your horse." Master Sun brought the servants, and brought the big black horses of Chai Lin and Wu Song.

Four yamen servants pulled the tiger at the front, Yang Lin and Deng Fei drove the four-wheeled carriage in the middle, and Chai Lin and Wu Song rode horses at the back.

Among the spectators, he slowly pulled the tiger forward.

The people in Cangzhou City don't know what Chai Lin is, but everyone knows that this is the owner of Chaijiazhuang.

As for who contributed how much force in the process of fighting the tiger, that was an internal issue, and the first contribution was of course Chai Lin's.

Chai Lin and Wu Song rode tall horses, slowly advancing, receiving the cheers of the people.

This was Wu Song's first contact with this kind of thing, and he was not used to it.

Quietly asked: "Brother, why don't you just go back to the yamen."

Chai Lin can't say it, it's worth it for worship.

He laughed and said, "Now we are just cats raised by the people in Cangzhou. We eat and drink the people's food. We have to show off when we catch a mouse. It seems that we are still useful. Do you understand the reason?"

Wu Song nodded: "It makes sense, Mr. Su needs us to make a high profile."

When they walked near the Zuixian Tower, the merchants who had a good relationship with Chailin lit firecrackers one after another to show their welcome.The uninvited waist drum team beat gongs and drums in front, boom, boom, boom, boom.

While walking, suddenly a woman rushed out and stopped Chai Lin's horse. Wu Song pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and was about to draw the knife. Chai Lin pressed his hand and stopped the gongs and drums from the day before yesterday.

Chai Lin asked: "This woman, why stop my horse? If you startle the horse, it will hurt your life."

The woman knelt down and said, "The daughter of the people has a grievance, and the daughter of the people wants to sue."

Chai Lin is quite rare, and someone sues him for his official position, which is bigger than sesame mung bean.

Immediately got off the horse and asked, "Who do you want to sue?"

"I don't know who to sue. There is a pleading here, sir, please check it." The woman said and raised the pleading above her head.

Wu Song took it, opened it and checked, and handed it to Chai Lin after there was nothing dangerous.

Chai Lin took a general look. It turned out that the woman's husband, Zheng Haiyi, together with three people, transported the tea from Cangzhou to Mengzhou for sale.As a result, when they arrived in Mengzhou, the three of them sold separately. The two were fine, but Zheng Hai was missing.

The two went to the Mengzhou Yamen to report to the officials, but the local government refused to accept them.After returning, Zheng Hai's daughter-in-law suspected that these two accomplices had swallowed the goods and killed them. The two were also wronged. When they reported to the government office, Mr. Su inquired and found that it was not the case, it was Zheng Hai. He got lost by himself.According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, you have to go to Mengzhou to report to the government.Zheng Hai's daughter-in-law is a woman, so how could she have the ability to go to Mengzhou thousands of miles away?

Chai Lin shook his head after reading it. The fastest horse in the Song Dynasty was a horse, which could cover more than a hundred miles a day.It is still a headache to investigate the case of missing persons thousands of miles away.

But the public is watching, so it's not easy to refuse, and immediately said: "I accept the case. In the afternoon, you invited those two companions to arrest the envoy's office. I have something to ask."

"Yes, thank you sir." The woman kowtowed and left.

Besides, Chai Lin has a lot of glory today, his admiration value has been rising, and his popularity has also greatly increased.

Some people said: "Hey, this Chai official is really amazing. The soap carriage he made is so good, and he can even beat tigers. Last time, the reward was only [-] guan. I heard that the reward for this is [-] guan."

Someone next to him said: "Is that tiger hiding? You envy the money, why don't you go hunting?"

"I'm going to fight. I can hardly get close to a rabbit. See, this injury on my hand was scratched by a rabbit yesterday."

The common people have everything they say, good, bad, adoring, hating the rich, and so on.

It was still afternoon when Chai Lin returned to the yamen, and arranged: "Master Sun, this time Wu Song scored the first merit, and Yang Lin and Deng Fei made the second. The four arrests will each be rewarded with one hundred coins."

"Yes, I will write it down."

Chai Lin went back to the study, while Wu Song, Yang Lin, and Deng Fei went to the playground to practice.

A catcher said: "Yang Tou and Deng Tou, you two are lucky. You caught up with the good time. Once you come, you will be a second-class meritorious service. This is a real reward."

Yang Lindao: "That's right, I don't know when I'm new. Today's past is just a soy sauce, and it's Mr. Chai and Mr. Wu who contributed."

"Our small yamen, the first-class merit is the credit for arresting the wanted criminal, and the reward is 20 taels of silver. The second-class merit is the reward of ten taels of silver. Our Lord Chai is different from other families. Other adults always try to deduct money, even Let the little ones be filial. Mr. Chai never discounts rewards, and pays them out on a monthly basis, so it is worthwhile for us to follow Mr. Chai to work hard." A policeman said.

After resting for a while, Wu Song shouted: "Assemble, prepare for training."

The catchers are either on missions or training every day, no matter it is windy or rainy, they will not be shaken every day, at least four hours of training time.

Sprints, push-ups, sit-ups, single-plank bridges, obstacle climbing, and fighting and equipment exercises.

In Chai Lin's study room, Chai Lin sat in the middle, next to Mr. Sun taking notes, and four policemen stood on both sides.

Zheng Hai's daughter-in-law and two men who stopped the horse to file a complaint at noon arrived.

Both of them are middle-aged people in their 30s. When they saw Chai Lin and others, they knelt down and saluted.

Chai Lin said: "Excuse me, the two of you stand up and talk."

"Yes."

"One is Zheng Mian, and the other is Zheng San. What is your relationship with the missing Zheng Hai? Tell me the details of what happened." Chailin asked.

The three of them told the details of the incident again. It turned out that the three of them belonged to the same village, and they usually had a good relationship, an above-average family.These three people often run business together. This time, each of them led three mules and carried hundreds of catties of tea to Mengzhou. They sold the tea when they arrived in Mengzhou, and then bought rehmannia glutinosa from Mengzhou and returned to Cangzhou. Although it's hard work coming and going, it's still very cost-effective for one person to have 20 taels of silver left in more than a month.

"In this way, when we arrived in Mengzhou, the three of us went to the cross slope of Mengzhou. Brother Zheng Hai went north, and the two of us went south. Who would have thought that we would never find it again, so we went to the Mengzhou Yamen to report to the officials. But they didn't accept it at all, saying that such a big person can't be lost, maybe he came back early. I thought it was right, so I came back, but when I got home, there was no one at home. Zheng Hai's daughter-in-law wronged me He killed someone for money, but luckily the magistrate returned my innocence. That's how things are, whether this Zheng Hai is dead or alive, we don't even know where he went."

"Oh, that's strange. You two are talking about Mengzhou Road, Big Tree Crossing Slope?" Chailin asked.

"My lord, it's absolutely true." The two said.

　Ask for a monthly ticket. So far no one has voted for a monthly ticket. Those who have monthly tickets will vote for a few.
