Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 845 Swindlers, First Ruler

After Gao Dahu sent Liu Ziliang and other businessmen out of the county, he took a few prisoners back to Bange Township, and reported to the township head Zhang Wenzhuo and the director Zhe Bu that the caravan encountered robbers halfway.

After interrogation, this group of robbers really came from the forest in Bangor Township.

And the captives also confessed that it was the leader of Bangor Township who tipped them off.However, the captives they captured were relatively low-ranking among the bandits, and they didn't know who the leader of the bandits was.

As for the lair of the bandits in the woods, they were naturally interrogated.

But both Zhang Wenzhuo and Zhebu knew that most of the other party would move out after returning, or they would not go back to their hometown at all.

They lead people to rush over now, most of them will only be in vain.

Just when Zhebu, Gao Dahu and the others felt helpless, Zhang Wenzhuo said, "Director Zhebu, I have an idea.

Now that we know that there is a leader in the township who secretly communicated with the bandits, we can plan to find this person first.

Since this person is in collusion with the bandits, he must know where he is hiding or how to communicate.

After we interrogate them, we will go to investigate the hiding places of the bandits one by one, or find them through contact, and then we can wipe them out in one fell swoop. "

After hearing this, Zhe Bu felt that this method was really good, but then he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "The township chief, the problem is that we don't know who is behind the bandits now."

Zhang Wenzhuo said with a smile: "We don't know, but the gangsters don't know that we don't know.

Therefore, as long as we pretend to know, we can startle the snake and lure it out of its hole. "

Zhang Wenzhuo's remarks were a bit convoluted, and he used two idioms.Zhe Bu reacted for a while before he understood the meaning, and said, "The village chief's intention is to deceive the leader who secretly communicated with the bandits."

"good."

"Second, let's do it!"

···
Zong Wang has been sending people to secretly watch the township yamen, and in fact they are also watching the township police station—these two yamen are together.

He didn't know that Zhang Wenzhuo sent armed patrolmen pretending to be caravan guys to escort him.

He did this because he believed that if something happened to the caravan after it left Bangor Township, the patrolmen in other towns would definitely send someone to notify Zhang Wenzhuo after they found out, because the caravan harvested from Bangor Township and had a certain relationship with Zhang Wenzhuo .

Unexpectedly, the good news did not arrive, but a bad news came this morning.

"Headman Zongwang, the township government has brought back a few bandits. They say they are the scarface gang who went to the town to rob women."

"What?" Zong Wang couldn't believe it, "How could the police catch the scarred man?"

Paja, the Tibetan who reported the letter, scratched his head, wondering: "How would I know this?"

"Are you sure it's Scarface's subordinate, not someone else?" Zong Wang asked again.

"It must be. One of the one-eyed dragons has seen it before, and it is impossible to admit it."

After hearing this, Zong Wang subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the person with the scarred face should have gone to rob the caravan, so how many people have been arrested now?
Could it be... the township government took pictures of the patrolmen protecting the caravan?

When Zong Wang thought of this possibility, his heart sank.

He was worried that the prisoner would confess his collusion with Scarface, so that the township government would have a reason to arrest him.

Thinking of this, Zong Wang said to Paga: "You go to the township yamen to keep an eye on it, and if you find any movement in the township yamen, run to inform me as quickly as possible!"

After finishing speaking, fearing that the most loyal serf in the past would not do his best, Zong Wang took out a silver dollar and handed it to him, saying: "This matter is done, and I will reward you with another silver dollar when I come back."

Pajia was overjoyed when he saw the silver dollar, and felt it was like a dream, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you, headman, I will definitely manage it!"

After finishing speaking, he went to the township government office.

On Zongwang's side, however, he picked up his floating fortune.

If his collusion with Scarface was really confessed by the captives, he would have no choice but to escape.Daming probably couldn't stay here anymore, he had to cross the Snow Mountain and flee to the south to find a way out.

At noon, Zong Wang was absent-mindedly having dinner with his family when Paja came running, sweating profusely.

"Headman, there's something going on in the township yamen, and the policemen have come out to line up. I heard from the police chief, Zhebu, that some kind of gangster is going to be arrested—is there anyone in our village colluding with the bandits? How is this possible? ?”

Paga is an honest man, and he doesn't know about Zongwang's collusion with bandits.

In fact, when Zong Wang contacted the bandits, he always sent another serf who was half-citizen and half-bandit.

Hearing this, Zong Wang immediately panicked and stopped eating.Picking up the package containing floating money and dry food, he said to his wife and son, "I'm going to Shigatse to do something, you guys stay at home."

As the leader in the past, Zong Wang had also listened to Daming Law several times, knowing that what he committed was not as serious as his family members, so he did not plan to take his family members away.

But he said that Zong Wang was arrested by two policemen not far from his house.

"What are you doing?" Zong Wang panicked, but still pretended to be calm, "Why arrest me?"

A patrolman sneered, "Bango Zongwang, don't you know what you did?"

The other said: "You didn't do anything wrong, why did you run away?"

"Who said I'm going to run away? I'm going to visit relatives in Shigatse!"

"Bring so much money with relatives?"

"I want to buy some things in Shigatse by the way, can't I come back?"

"Old Yao, don't talk to him, just take him back to the prison and interrogate him slowly."

In this way, Zong Wang was easily captured by two patrol officers and brought back to the patrol station.

But he made up his mind that as long as the evidence is not in front of him, he will not admit it.

Daming had only ruled Uzang, so he didn't believe that these officials dared to mess around.

After being taken to the police station, Zongwang was first interrogated by Zhebu himself.Naturally, he refused to admit that he was a bandit, and only said that he wanted to visit relatives in Shigatse.

Not long after that, he saw that Paja, whom he had sent to watch the township government office before, was also arrested and entered the police station, and happened to walk past him.

After a while, he only heard Paga over there startled and howled, and then there was no big movement.

Then Zhebu came over with a smile on his face, and said, "Zongwang, Pajia has already told you that from the day the caravan left, you let him keep an eye on the township government.

Today you learned that we arrested Scarface's subordinates, and let him stare at the police station.When you learned that we were dispatched, you took your floating money and wanted to escape.

All these deeds show that you have colluded with Scarface, do you still want to quibble?

Now you are confessing your crime, giving up Scarface's hiding place, and his contact method, which is considered a crime and meritorious deed.

But if Scarface's subordinates confessed these things first, you might not escape the death penalty. "

Hearing what Zhebu said, Zongwang's psychological defense was finally broken.

Because he didn't want to bet that Scarface's men didn't know or wouldn't confess.

"I said it, I said it all."

···
Knowing Scarface's hiding place and contact information from Zongwang, Zhebu immediately dispatched with thirty armed patrols.

After five days and nights of searching, encircling and suppressing, Scarface and other gangsters were finally killed or captured, wiped out, and Bangor Township was restored to peace.

And Zhang Wenzhuo also increased the income of the Tibetans in the village by a percentage after taking office for more than a month, initially gained the trust of the Tibetans in the village, and laid a solid foundation for the development of other follow-up work.

Throughout Uzbekistan Province, hundreds of officials were appointed by the Ming court to counties and townships, such as Zhang Wenzhuo and Zhebu, who are able to do things, and have even accomplished things.

As a result, some policies of the Ming court in Uzbekistan were gradually implemented.

However, in the process of implementing policies such as the abolition of slavery, the dissatisfaction of the old nobles in the snow region is also accumulating day by day, and one day it will explode due to something...
　Second more.

　　Good night~
