Our Mommy is the Best Investigator! Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Yulong Gang

Lin Jinxiao led 1,000 soldiers from the Coastal Defense Battalion to Haiyuan Village, the most famous fishing village on the Donghua River, a hundred miles away along the Luyan Port Water Transport Wharf.

After a day's journey, I finally arrived at the fishing village wharf at dawn.

It's just that the soldiers were attacked and blocked by unknown forces before they entered the village, and nearly a hundred soldiers were killed or injured in a short time.

Captain Chen Chuan was the general who fought with Princess Jinshu in the early years. Because of his love of killing and killing, he never left any dogs and dogs wherever he went. Captain.

Seeing the sergeant under his command shot dead by a group of unruly people, with such serious injuries, he immediately flew into a rage, and immediately remonstrated to Lin Jinxiao:

"My Dahe Empire has never encountered such a shocking thing since the past. Lord Defense Envoy, please allocate one hundred people to the last general. The last general will surely make Haiyuan Village without a single living thing within dozens of miles. .”

Li Ce was also filled with indignation. While calling the soldiers to count the injured brothers, he shouted to Lin Jinxiao: "Brother, Du Sankui must have been ordered by the Qi family to act so boldly. Why don't you arrest the Qi family and bring them to justice."

Lin Jinxiao looked at the white belly exposed in the east, and shook his head calmly: "Even if the Qi family dared to assassinate this official, they didn't have the guts to instruct Du Sankui to fight against the government. Today's action is a treasonous act. The family raiding and extermination is no longer a matter of scaring those people last night." Assassin's bluff."

After thinking for a while, he told the school lieutenant Chen Chuan: "All the staff rest on the shore, and join forces with the two army Sima first, and then make a decision."

"My lord, why should you be so cautious, this Du Sankui dared to openly rebel, if he is not arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible, it will definitely lead to even greater disasters."

Chen Chuan pleaded again without giving up: "I heard that there are many watchtowers in Du Sankui's house, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The general wants to go to the meeting."

"It's not difficult to capture Du Sankui. At the moment, stabilizing the hearts of the people is the top priority. I have just issued an order to equalize the land. If someone is bewitched at this time, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lin Jinxiao clenched his fists secretly: "Since this Du Sankui dared to send someone to assassinate, I am afraid that he is no longer in the village at this time. He is so bold that he is not so stupid that he will not leave a way out for himself."

After listening to his words, Chen Chuan's agitated mood finally calmed down, and he asked in a solemn voice, "What's your opinion, my lord?"

Lin Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, and told Li Ce: "Immediately ask someone to draft an official document and distribute it to all the counties. Du Sankui, a villager in Haiyuan Village, colluded with the Dongsang people to commit misdeeds, and ordered the counties to arrest the traitors who collaborated with the enemy and treason. He will be punished for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.”

"Collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

Chen Chuan looked confused: "My lord, there is no evidence, how can we determine that he is collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

"How big is the difference between treason and treason? When this person is captured, there will be evidence of guilt."

Lin Jinxiao's eyes revealed a hint of cunning.

Even if Du Sankui didn't collude with the Dongsang people, he still has to give solid evidence that this person colluded with the Dongsang people.

Otherwise, the situation in the six counties in the east will fall into even more chaos because of the civil uprising caused by this guy.

After the ship docked, the soldiers who retreated from the entrance of the village gathered together, and the two army commanders came over in a panic and reported: "My lord, the defense envoy, will be ambushed at the entrance of the village and suffer heavy losses. Along the way, there were voices from the villagers to rise up, and everyone was cursing your lord."

"It's unreasonable, these troublemakers."

Chen Chuan was furious again, and he clenched his fists and said, "My lord puts himself in their shoes, how dare these unruly people curse you."

Lin Jinxiao sneered unhurriedly and asked, "What are they cursing me for?"

The two military commanders frowned tightly, not daring to speak.

"But it's okay to say."

Lin Jinxiao said bluntly.

"They... They called the adults a dog official, extorted money, took back the land of the gentry, and left the people with no land to grow."

After Army Sima Zhang Yu finished answering, He Ying continued: "We also inquired about some things along the way, saying that there is a gang force hidden in the Donghua River area, called the Yulong Gang. They specialize in water transportation. The government is against you, and the leader of this gang is Du Sankui."

"Yulong Gang?"

Dragon in the water.

Lin Jinxiao shook his head full of contempt: "What a big tone."

No wonder Du Sankui is so confident.

I didn't even expect these gentry to be so despicable and shameless. They would rather abandon the land than lower the land rent, and instead shift the blame to the government.

Give them preferential treatment policies, but they toasted and did not eat fine wine.

Since this is the case, then I can only kill.

He stared deeply at the demoralized soldiers, and first asked Chen Chuan: "Lieutenant Chen, I give you two hundred men, are you confident that you can capture Du Sankui's house within an hour?"

"The last general will never disgrace his fate."

Chen Chuan answered without hesitation, vowing that he was determined to win this matter.

"Okay, after you take down Haiyuan Village, immediately rush to Haining County in the starry night. Along the way, order the county officials to seal off the official roads and strictly check the city gates. Only the waterway leading to Haining County will be left. If you dare to support Du Sankui and Yulong Gang of thieves, no matter whether the government or the people, they will be killed without mercy."

"The last general takes orders."

Chen Chuan excitedly clenched the saber in his hand, immediately went to count the sergeants, and hurried back to Haiyuan Village.

Lin Jinxiao left a few teams of soldiers behind to **** the wounded and dead soldiers back to Luyan Port, while he took the rest of the crew back on board and headed for Haining County.

Li Ce stood by his side, looked at his calm and composed figure, and said quite uneasy: "Brother, there are Dongsang thieves haunting Haining County now, if Du Sankui is lured here, wouldn't it just encourage Dongsang?" The arrogance of the San people."

"What I want is for him to join the Dongsang people."

Lin Jinxiao glanced at Li Ce meaningfully: "Sanlang, after dark, you personally lead a small team to take a shortcut and rush to Haining County overnight, meet You'an, and strengthen coastal defense with him. He intercepted it, and we must not allow him to join the Dongsang people."

Li Ce finally understood his brother's intentions, and nodded understandingly: "The next official takes orders."

The elder brother is indeed the elder brother he admires.

In this way, the possible civil uprising was easily resolved, and all the blame was turned to foreign aggression. Anyone who dared to support Du Sankui would be a traitor.

is really brilliant.

Within a few days, Du Sankui colluded with the Dongsang people to make a rebellion, Lin Jinxiao led the army to pursue, and the news that the rebels were fleeing along the waterway spread in Luyan Port.

Those wealthy families or members of the Yulong Gang who had connections with Du Sankui began to draw a clear line with this person, and many gentry who had been attached to the Qi family also went directly to the county government to discuss with the county magistrate, Sun Wucai, regardless of the Qi family's face. In response to Juntian's policy.

What's more, they were so guilty that they sold the land that was occupied back then to the farm laborers at the original price, or followed the government's policy and signed contracts with the farm laborers to rent the land to the farm laborers at the lease price of official land.

At first, Sun Wucai was still happy because of this incident, feeling that he stayed in the county government to do a big job for the magistrate, so he nodded and bowed every day to receive these gentry.

But later on, he gradually realized that these people might have connections with Du Sankui and the Yulong Gang. Worried about being implicated, he simply changed his stance. Not only did he no longer give Xiaolian a recommendation, but he also took the opportunity to get the big households to donate on their own initiative. There are many granaries with abundant money and food for disaster relief.

"Well, this officer is really too alert."

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sun Wucai, who was sitting in the main hall of the county yamen, stroked his beard and praised himself contentedly.
