Chapter 253 Deep in the jungle
Yang Qiuchi found out that Yun Leng's case was a wrong case, stopped the execution of the death penalty, and snatched Yun Tianqing's son from the god of death, which made Yun Tianqing cry. Later, Yang Qiuchi arranged for Yun Tianqing and his son Yun Leng to live together to take care of each other. The equipment and tools had already gone, and he was waiting for the court to officially release them without permission to restore freedom. Yun Tianqing was even more happy. Now Yang Qiuchi met him in the flower room where the yamen was welcoming guests, which almost made Yun Tianqing flattered.
When he entered the flower room, Yun Tianqing knelt down and kowtowed, repeatedly claiming thanks. Yang Qiuchi helped him up and let him sit down, and then told him the fact that Wang Dianshi and Wang Dianshi's concubine Zhao Qinglan were probably the real murderer who framed his son and killed Yun Lang's wife and his wife's brother-in-law. When Yun Tianqing heard this, he was so angry that his eyes were breathless and cursed.
After Yang Qiuchi felt a little calm, he told him about the fact that he had asked the two men of national sea capture. Yun Tianqing thanked him again. Then, Yang Qiuchi talked about his own speculation. When Yun Tianqing heard Yang Qiuchi say that Wang Dianshi and Zhao Qinglan were probably hiding in the nearby mountains and ridges, he widened his eyes in surprise. He didn't believe that these two men had such courage at all. However, he believed in the judgment of Yang Qiuchi, his life-saving benefactor.
After hearing Yang Qiuchi's proposal to organize Miaozhong in all villages, he agreed. In fact, since he knew that his enemy Wang Dianshi and his two enemies might be hiding in the nearby mountains, even if Yang Qiuchi did not make this request, he would organize a search for the mountains in order to avenge him.
Yang Qiuchi told Yun Tianqing that there is no need to search carefully all over the mountains. Because the range is too large, the mountains are high and the forest is deep, and the effect is not great, it will also alarm the snake. They are hiding in this deep mountain for more than a day or two, so they will have to go down the mountain to a nearby village town to buy daily necessities soon.
Since Wang Dianshi often goes to the countryside, many people know him. Therefore, Wang Dianshi obviously does not do the job of going down the mountain to buy things. His concubine Zhao Qinglan lives in the yamen, and almost no one outside knows her, so it is most likely that she goes down the mountain to buy things.
Since there is a portrait of Zhao Qinglan now, Yang Qiuchi asked Yun Tianqing to circulate Zhao Qinglan's portrait in various villages and villages, so that everyone can pay attention to this person and let Miao people wait in all the towns to wait for him, so he is likely to find his traces.
However, Yang Qiuchi specifically reminded Yun Tianqing that Zhao Qinglan knew martial arts and his martial arts should be pretty good. Once you find the trace, report it to Yang Qiuchi immediately. You can track it, but never arrest it, otherwise you may be hurt by it and will alarm them, causing them to escape.
Yun Tianqing remembered it one by one. While he was talking, he heard the gongs and drums and firecrackers ringing in the yamen. Yang Qiuchi and Yun Tianqing were slightly stunned and looked at each other. At this time, the gatekeeper of the yamen gate hurried in and reported: "Master, there are many Miao people coming to the yamen. Those who beat the gongs and drums are going to give you a golden plaque, and some pigs and sheep are also brought in. A few old men lead the way, saying that they are here to thank you for saving their village master and kowtow to thank you."
Haha, Yang Qiuchi and Yun Tianqing both laughed. Yang Qiuchi and Yun Tianqing came to the yamen gate and saw that there were all Miao Cong outside the gate. When Yang Qiuchi and Yun Tianqing came out side by side, they both knelt down in flat style, and shouted to thank Master Qingtian in stiff Chinese.
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly greeted everyone. At this time, two young men from Miao carried a large plaque covered with red and colorful clothes to Yang Qiuchi, with the words "Living God" written on it. The ink was not dry, and it was obviously just written.
After reading this plaque, Yang Qiuchi was funny in the dark. The Miao people may not know much about Chinese. No matter how you look at this plaque, it looks like it was given by a herbal doctor.
Those old Miao men were the ones who went to the execution ground to collect the body at noon. They were the little leaders of the Miao village. One of them walked up and bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Qingtian, for finding out the truth and returning Qingbai from my village master. We specially wrote a plaque to give it to the master. Our Shanye Miao village has nothing valuable. We drove some pigs and sheep to give it to Lord Yang, and we express our gratitude! Please accept it with a smile!"
Yang Qiuchi smiled and turned to look at Yun Tianqing. Yun Tianqing first stroked his beard and praised the old men nodded, turned around and bowed to Yang Qiuchi and said, "This is everyone's wishes, Lord Yang must accept it with a smile!"
Yang Qiuchi said: "You are so polite. Correcting unjust, false and wrong cases is a matter of duty. There is no need to do so. I can accept this plaque, but I can't accept this cattle and sheep."
Although Yang Qiuchi repeatedly refused, the Miao people's enthusiastic, straightforward and honest personality still made Yang Qiuchi finally accept the Liao group of pigs and sheep, and ordered the yamen runners to rush into the yamen to raise and slaughter.
Yang Qiuchi ordered the yamen runners to pick up the plaque and hang it in the flower room to welcome the VIPs.
Yun Tianqing took this opportunity to call the old men aside, and talked about Wang Dianshi, Zhao Qinglan framed Yun Leng, killed Yun Leng's wife and brother-in-law, and arranged the search for the murderer. After hearing this, the old men were shocked and angry, bowed to take the order, took Miao Zhong and said goodbye to Yang Qiuchi and left hurriedly.
Yang Qiuchi was relieved now and relying on these Miao people who were familiar with the terrain to search for the mountains and ridges, the effect would definitely be much stronger than that of the Jinyiwei and the yamen runners.
There was no news in the next seven or eight miles. Yang Qiuchi signed and checked the account every day, arranged the work of collecting heavy taxes, or asked Rishengtang about some trivial matters, or let Yun Tianqing and Yunling out to drink and talk together.
Yun Tianqing was very grateful to Yang Qiuchi. Now, seeing Yang Qiuchi is so kind and approachable, he values him very much, and is even more happy. He almost kowtowed Yang Qiuchi to become sworn brothers.
On that day, Yang Qiuchi was working in the yamen signing room, and the concierge came to report that Miao Zhong asked to see the master.
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly ordered to invite him. Two of the old men who came to deliver the plaque last time, told Yang Qiuchi that a town two hundred miles away from here, Miao people who were waiting at the scene discovered Wang Dianshi. Guigui was so proud that he bought a lot of food and used, and went to the deep mountains. Wang Dianshi often went to the countryside to collect taxes, so many Miao people knew people, but did not arrest them according to the arrangement, and had sent people to follow him.
Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed. Although he was a little strange, the situation he found was not much the same as he had guessed. Zhao Qinglan did not show up with his tears, but Wang Dianshi went down the mountain to buy things himself.
Yang Qiuchi hurried to the inner court to tell the news. When he heard Yang Qiuchi say that he was going to take people to arrest him, Qin Zhihui, Song Qing and the others were a little nervous. Although he was accompanied by the protection of Wu Ruobing and Song Yuner, he was still in a lingering heart and repeatedly told Yang Qiuchi to be careful.
Yang Qiuchi ordered Xia Ping to lead the female guards to do a good job in security, and left behind twenty male guards to obey Xia Ping's noble and cooperated to protect the safety of the inner yamen. Then he led his followers Chang Fu, Nangong Xiong and twenty male guards, as well as Li Ruobing, Song Yuner, his little black dog, and the yamen constable, and set off with Miao Zhong who led the way.
These two hundred miles are all mountain roads. They travel through the primeval forest. The sheep-intestine path is sometimes winding and sometimes without. They can only walk along the way. Miao Zhong, who conveyed messages from time to time, came to report on the tracking situation. According to the intelligence, it allowed Yang Qiuchi to fully appreciate the strong organization of Miao Zhong and experience the rapid and effective delivery of Miao Zhong. No wonder in the battle between the Hongnian period, the officers and soldiers were defeated. Such mountains and steep mountains were not the battlefield that officers and soldiers were good at. In addition, Miao Zhong's intelligence work was quick and effective, and the troops were not much different, it would be strange if the officers and soldiers were not defeated.
Finally, I got the exact news that I found that Wang Dianshi was hiding in a cave, but I never saw Zhao Qinglan.
They hurriedly walked for about three days on the mountain road for more than 200 miles. Fortunately, there were Miao villages along the way providing food and accommodation, so they didn't have to sleep in the open air, so they didn't have to work so hard.
Along the way, Yang Ruobing deliberately did not get along with Yang Qiuchi alone, and his words were also light. Song Yuner was Yang Qiuchi's little tail anyway, and she followed her wherever she went, except to go to the cottage.
For Song Yuner, the journey was just a journey. The only thing that was difficult was that she and Yang Qiuchi were alone, as if she had returned to the moment when she had discovered the death of the old Master Zi's tribute in the countryside. She was very happy. In Song Yuner's eyes, Wu Ruobing was just her elder, so she felt that this trip with Yang Qiuchi was like a couple.
But Yang Qiuchi was not so relaxed. He didn't dare to be too intimate with Song Yuner. On the one hand, he was afraid that Song Yuner would misunderstand, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Wu Ruobing would be hurt. He was really embarrassed.
In the evening that day, I finally arrived at the cave where Wang Dianshi was lurking.
The cave is surrounded by dense primeval forests. The entrance of the cave is hidden behind a mess of thatched grass and thorns. There are several seedlings secretly lurking there near the entrance. Yang Qiuchi ordered the cave to be surrounded, and then lay behind a large stone, asking the constables to shout and ask Wang Dianshi and the others to come out to surrender.
After shouting for a while, there was no reaction in the cave. Yang Qiuchi was a little nervous. These Miao people had been guarding outside the cave. This guy should not have escaped. Could it be that there was another exit in the cave and he escaped from another exit?
Yang Qiuchi was about to ask the constable to enter the cave to capture the cave, but then he thought that Zhao Qinglan was good at martial arts, and the enemy was secret and we were so nervous that it was easy to suffer losses when he went in to capture the cave. While he was hesitating, he suddenly saw the little black dog squatting at his feet, looking at the cave with bright eyes with vigilance, and immediately thought that it was the most suitable for arresting with a police dog in this situation.
He squatted down, touched Xiao Hei's forehead, pointed to the cave, and slapped Xiao Hei's butt. Xiao Hei was like a sharp arrow, and he moved a few times to the entrance of the cave and drilled into the cave.
Yang Qiuchi waved his hand and ordered the constables to follow Xiao Hei in.
The constables held the torch that had been lit in their hands, shook their waist knives, and followed Xiao Hei into the cave with a scream.
Chapter completed!
