The clerk at the side wrote furiously, and it took a long time to write down the list reported by the head of the village.
There are not only names on it, but also the township, ri and village where they are located, as well as the situation of their families.
Bai Shan reached out to take it and glanced at it, then lowered his eyes to look at Jia Lichang, "You found it very clear."
Jia Lichang opened his mouth, wanting to say the excuse he had thought up a long time ago, for example, he wanted to check it out before reporting it to the county government...
But with his behavior like that before, it is obvious that no one will believe what he said, even he himself knows that it is too contradictory.
So he closed his mouth dejectedly, lowered his head and said nothing.
Bai Shan handed the list to the clerk, and then turned to look at Chief Sun.
Sun Lichang was stunned. He was in a daze throughout the arrest and interrogation. Even now, he is in a daze.
Just as he was in a daze, when he met Bai Shan's gaze, his whole body was shocked, and he immediately groaned and kowtowed repeatedly.
Bai Shan signaled the yamen servant to take the cloth out of his mouth.
Sun Lichang's mouth was free, and immediately said: "My lord, I don't know anything about this matter, I really don't know anything."
Bai Shan said expressionlessly: "This is nothing to show off and be happy about. There are so many gangsters in the villagers under your rule, but you don't know anything about it. Maybe you are not as vicious and cruel as Jia Lichang, but you His incompetence must be above him."
Sun Lichang froze and couldn't speak for a while.
Judging from the list given by Chief Jia Li, most of the bandits under Jia Dalang's hands came from Jia Li Chang's Yili, followed by hundreds of households under the jurisdiction of Li Chang Sun, and some were from other Li.
If the list reported by Jia Lichang is true, or the discrepancy is not big, then the gangsters under Li Chang Sun's command are second only to Chief Jia Li, and he still doesn't know anything, so what is there to be thankful for being so incompetent
Bai Shan asked him, "Are you really ignorant?"
Sun Lichang should not be this time, and he should not be.
Yes, then he is really incompetent as Bai Shan said; no, then he is an accomplice!
But he really doesn't know anything.
In the end, Li Chang Sun still wanted to survive more than he wanted to save face. It was better to be incompetent than to join forces with bandits, so he nodded with tears, "My lord, I really don't know anything."
Bai Shan: "Among those people Jia Lichang mentioned just now, how many do you remember?"
Seeing his confused face, Bai Shan then added: "Just the people in your family, you don't need to remember the people in other families."
More sweat broke out on Sun Lichang's forehead, "This, this, seven or eight."
Bai Shan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Which seven or eight?"
"Sun Heng, Zu Dachun," Sun Lichang swallowed, and said uncertainly, "And Zu Dali?"
Bai Shan is sure, his chief doesn't seem too smart.
He glanced down at him, and finally took the list and asked, "Are the houses in your village compact? Where is Sun Heng's house, and where is Zu Dachun's house?"
Bai Shan asked every one of them on his list, and after knowing the approximate house and residence, he took a large piece of paper to draw.
Only the approximate location of their house was drawn, but it was enough for Bai Shan to realize the difficulty of arresting them.
Unlike the more concentrated houses in Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village, this place is more scattered. If it is more difficult to surround them with troops, they can only be arrested separately.
And the arrest of Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village was not easy. There were quite a lot of people in the two villages, excluding the six people who had already been arrested, there were a total of 38 people.
Among them, there is one family with three brothers among them, and three families with two brothers on the list, which perfectly interprets what is called family tradition, and what is meant by the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
There are hundreds of households in a mile, and there are thirty-nine households whose households are turned into bandits. This ratio makes Bai Shan's face darker. In addition to the six people who have been arrested, there are 33 households in these two villages who need to be arrested. There are a lot of people to arrest, if you can't hit with one blow, it will not be easy to arrest people later.
These people are not alone. Although the atmosphere in Dajing Village and Xiaojing Village is not good, no one can predict whether their arrest will make the villagers unite to resist the arrest.
Even County Captain Dong was worried, and said to Bai Shan in a low voice: "My lord, either we only arrest the bandit leader, or we have to borrow troops from Qingzhou City."
Bai Shan lowered his eyes to think, and shook his head after a long while, "If they have no choice but to fall into the grass, the county can naturally lenient the net and only arrest the bandit leaders, but these people, in a good year, and without any disaster, go to fall into the grass and turn into bandits, after robbing the village And if you can pretend that nothing happened and live an ordinary life, then you are not desperate, but human nature is evil, if such a person is not punished, what is the law of heaven?"
"In the future, if someone learns from them because of the county's forgiveness, where will those victims be?" Bai Shan said with a tense face, "So I must punish them severely, and I will never tolerate them!"
That is, it must be caught.
Dong Xianwei also tends to arrest them. These people are too hateful, and this side is far away from the county seat. As a county captain, it is difficult for him to take care of this side. Still have to take advantage of the time when it is not very serious.
"Then the adults will have to borrow troops."
Bai Shandao: "I have already sent a letter to Lu County Magistrate, and I also wrote an official document to Governor Guo before I came. If they agree to send troops, they will send them here directly, but we can't wait for them right now."
Bai Shan turned his head to look at Feng Dashan, who was kneeling beside him, and said: "Although Jia Dalang is crazy and arrogant, he is also suspicious. If he wants to change places, he should go to a place like the county government office. He will definitely report to the subordinates. .”
"If the letter has not been received for too long, the people under him may realize that something is wrong." Bai Shan said, "Isn't it the sixth day since we took him out of Dajing Village?"
Dong Xianwei was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yes."
"So we're going to arrest people tonight. We can't delay the time. We can catch one person." Bai Shan snorted coldly and said, "For those who can't be caught, the county will have to see if they have the courage to really go up the mountain." Fallen grass is a bandit."
"Send someone to inform Song Xunjian, let him bury the pot to make food, and bring the soldiers down after eating."
County Captain Dong could only respond.
Song Xunjian was stationed on the mountain facing Xiaoliu Village. They brought their own dry food and pots. They had been feeding mosquitoes for four days on the mountain. They said they wanted them to protect Xiaoliu Village below the mountain. No shit, what are you protecting
It was a little uncomfortable to be in the nest, and a yamen servant came to inform them, "My lord said that we have to move at night, and I asked the inspector to bury the pot and cook now, and go down the mountain to gather before dark."
Song Xunjian took the official document and looked at it, scratched the bitten bump on his face, and asked irritably, "What's the matter? Are there bandits in this place where the birds don't shit?"
As soon as the words fell, a group of birds returned to the forest to sleep for the night, and sent him a pile of bird feces when they passed by Song Xunjian's head.
Inspection Song: ...
Yamen servant: ...
The yamen servant looked away with difficulty, and said: "Song inspector, it is because birds don't shit, that's why there are bandits."
