How could inspector Luo dare to let Bai Shan lead the yamen servants to investigate alone? He ordered a dozen or so people to go there together.
A group of nearly forty people fumbled in that direction together.
The road is indeed difficult to walk, even though the vegetation here is sparse, but the rocks are messy, which always makes Bai Shan feel uncomfortable.
He was very skeptical, "People are really coming this way? The road is so difficult, or at night, don't they wrestle?"
Daji lowered his head and pushed away a stone, "Master Lang..."
Bai Shan then turned his head to look, and saw that the stone he pushed away with his foot was covered with bright red blood, and he hadn't been looking for a long time.
Everyone: ...their county magistrate is really categorical.
Bai Shan stepped forward to look at the traces on the side of the stone, and soon found a little blood on a big stone nearby.
He looked at the state of the blood splatter, lifted the stone and placed it on the big rock, and the blood splattered together.
Inspector Luo came over to look at it, and was speechless for a while: "Is it bleeding from falling on a stone? Where is the injury? Head?"
Bai Shan frowned slightly, looked at the nearby traces, and soon found the dripping blood, and they turned to another place.
Inspector Luo also noticed it, and quickly greeted everyone, "Follow this direction quickly, someone among them is injured, pay attention to the blood."
Bai Shan only warned, "Be careful where you step, and be safe."
Guided by the bloodstains, they quickly turned over a difficult road to a relatively flat woods.
There is very little grass here, but there are quite a lot of trees, but it no longer gives people a cramped feeling.
Everyone carefully looked for the bloodstains on the ground and moved forward. After a while, they suddenly heard the sound of crashing, the sound of waves hitting the reef, and the sound of sea wind blowing leaves...
Everyone looked at each other, and stopped staring at the blood stains under their feet. They pressed their hands on the handle of the knife and stepped forward lightly. After walking for a while, they heard the sound of sobbing.
Bai Shan stopped, and everyone stopped, looking at Bai Shan and Luo Xunjian who were standing in the front.
Bai Shan motioned Luo Xunjian to lead the people to the other side, in a siege.
Inspector Luo had heard that County Magistrate Bai had gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy before, so he didn't hesitate much, and after ordering people, he quietly led them to the other side.
Bai Shan quietly approached with the rest of the yamen servants.
Nineteen people were sitting and lying on the edge of the cliff, two or three of them were squatting and crying.
Nineteen people were not on guard at all, just sitting or lying there, Bai Shan and the others hid behind the tree and counted them several times, and there were nineteen people.
He couldn't help frowning, didn't he mean twenty people, and one more
His eyes fell on a person lying on the ground in the middle. The person's forehead was covered with clothes, and there was blood on his face. It should be his blood along the way.
Bai Shan was waiting, and when Luo inspected the place, he looked around, ordered a headhunter, and gestured for him to take a few people to the other side...
The person here is not yet in place, the other party is already impatient, and a person shouted loudly: "Don't cry!"
Bai Shan was taken aback and almost made a fuss. He looked back and saw a young man circling around twice in agitation and said, "Why are big men crying, won't they think of a way?"
"Brother Zhu, what do you think? The third brother fell down, and the eighth brother hit his head again. Why don't we go back and find a way to find the third brother down there."
"How do we go back? Didn't Erliang say that there are searches all over the mountain outside? We will be found as soon as we go out."
"Then we can't stay here forever, not to mention the food, what about the old eighth, he is in a coma now, with so much blood, he will die if we don't go to the doctor."
Brother Zhu also hugged his head and squatted down irritably. How did he know that there would be so many problems just by coming over to check the situation
By the way, how did the other party find out that they entered the mountain
Didn't I say that as long as the five people are knocked out and they don't make any noise, they will have a way to find out
Bai Shan saw that the other party was in a mess first, so he raised the corners of his mouth, and when he looked up, he saw Luo Xunjian.
Nodding slightly, he glanced at the other side, and after confirming that everything was in place, he turned out of the trunk and said with a smile, "Why don't I teach you how to do it?"
The sudden sound made eighteen people jump up in fright, and looked at Bai Shan in horror.
After seeing that he was alone, they breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw the yamen guard following him with a knife, their faces turned pale again, and they all took a step back involuntarily.
Bai Shan clapped his hands, Luo Xunjian and Butou led people to stand out from the left and right sides, while the soldiers and yamen servants in the back were hiding behind the trees indistinctly, making it hard to see how many of them there were.
So they dared not move.
Bai Shan quietly waited for them to weigh the pros and cons. After a while, seeing that their faces were not very good-looking, and hesitantly wanted to back off, he smiled and asked, "Do you want to listen to my suggestion?"
The young man who had been crying couldn't help but answered, "What suggestion?"
Brother Zhu turned his head and glared at him.
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said: "Look, you can't escape now, there are a hundred inspectors outside, and more than a hundred villagers, so it's better to tie the rope honestly, and the county will take you out , not only can the guilt be reduced, but your companions can also be treated faster."
Everyone didn't move, they looked at Bai Shan suspiciously.
The smile on Bai Shan's face was faint, "Why? Don't you believe in this county?"
Brother Zhu's throat was tight, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "Magistrate Bai, I, we just went into the mountains to hunt."
Bai Shan then sighed, "That's not good, wouldn't it be good to be honest with each other? Do you believe this reason after hearing it?"
The road was blocked by him, did they fly in to hunt
Now everyone stopped talking, and obviously felt that it would be useless to find any reason, so they looked at Brother Zhu together.
Seeing that he was struggling, Bai Shan obviously didn't accept his fate, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Do you want me to accompany you to play a game of officers and men catching thieves?"
"I'm fine. Although I'm a bit tired, I have a lot of people. Even if you can run out of the encirclement, there are still two hundred people outside." Bai Shan said, "But when you run, the rocks outside are chaotic, so you just run away." Are you afraid of falling again, breaking your head, arms and legs? And... "
He cast his eyes down, landed on the person lying on the ground, and asked, "Who are you planning to take him away? Or just throw him here without respecting brotherhood? Well, what happens after you run out?"
"I've seen your faces by now,"
When the other party heard this, they immediately raised their hands to cover their faces in shock.
Bai Shan: "... Is it too late? I dare not say that I will never forget it, but after seeing it for so long, I still remember the faces of a dozen people. Assuming you can run out, are you planning to leave your family and career forever? Are you home?"
These assumptions of Bai Shan caused many people to collapse, especially some young men who were only sixteen or seventeen years old. As soon as their hearts collapsed, they squatted on the ground and cried loudly, shouting: "Brother Zhu, brother Zhu, let's surrender, I don't want to leave home and be a desperado."
It was agreed that he just came to see what's wrong with the new saltworks. He didn't say that he would go to prison, and people would die!
