Chapter 1610 Leading to the Murder Case
"Clan Chief Chen, is there anything else you want to know about our Zhejiang Army? Apart from military secrets, I definitely know everything." Zhu Ping'an looked serious. He looked at Chen Dacheng and asked softly.
"Thank you, sir, the common people have no problem." Chen Dacheng once again cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Zhu Ping'an.
After standing up, Chen Dacheng slowly scanned the people in the yard and shouted loudly: "Dear tribesmen and fellow villagers, our righteous bird family, the Chen family, and our Beilei village have been fighting for mines for decades. not weaker than People rule the roost with a radius of hundreds of miles! However, every year in our village, there are constant casualties in the mine competition. At most, there are nearly a hundred people killed and injured, and sometimes there are dozens of people. They die quietly and have no reputation. In the village, there are white flags all year round, and nothing happens. Absolutely; we have killed and injured so many people and occupied several mines, but we have not been able to make our Chen family in Yiwu and our Beilei village prosperous. On the contrary, our lives are worse than before the battle for the mines, with no clothes to cover and no food to eat. , but also I have endured the humiliation of corrupt officials, and now I have to worry about Japanese pirates burning, killing and looting..."
After listening to Chen Dacheng's words, the villagers who were watching inside and outside the yard couldn't help but feel sad and filled with emotion.
"Nowadays, the government has issued a strict order prohibiting competition for minerals. It recognizes existing minerals and there is no need to worry about competition for minerals in the future. However, the land in Yiwu is barren and the mines are also poor. Mining and farming make life difficult. Moreover, nowadays The Japanese invasion is becoming more and more serious. This year, two groups of Japanese pirates have invaded our country. Bird, if we don’t wipe out the Japanese pirates, our fields will be destroyed by the Japanese pirates, our mines will be occupied by the Japanese pirates, and our fellow villagers will be bullied by the Japanese pirates!”
Chen Dacheng looked at the villagers and ethnic groups. The man pointed in the direction of the seaside and said in a low tone.
Many ethnic people in rural areas also look lonely. Yes, the land is poor, the mines are poor, and the people are poor. There are many difficulties and life is not easy.
“Now, Mr. Zhu Ping’an, deputy envoy of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Envoy, and a senior official of the fourth rank of the imperial court came to our righteous bird to recruit soldiers. They don’t mind that I, the people of Beilei Village, are poor and humble. Village, personally invite you, this is your appreciation and praise for me, this is for me Their face. The Zhejiang Army is different from the officers and soldiers of the Guards. They are able to fight, have strict military discipline, and are trustworthy. Those who are recruited to join the Zhejiang Army will receive a monthly salary of one and a half silver, excellent performance appraisal, and additional reward. If you kill a Japanese pirate, you can buy thirty taels of silver. In the future, you can achieve military success by killing Japanese pirates. If you succeed as an official, you will win a great future as a wife and son, if you fail, you will be a great hero for the country and the people. He will not only be famous in history, but also be famous in our county. "
Speaking of this, Chen Dacheng faced everyone, He waved his right hand forward vigorously and said impassionedly, " Therefore, all the children of the Chen family and the villagers of Beilei Village who are over 18 years old, have brothers to support their parents, and are in good health, will go to Yiwu County to sign up for the army early tomorrow morning! As for whether they can be selected. , it all depends on your own abilities!”
"Obey the long life of the clan!"
After Chen Dacheng spoke, all the villagers and tribesmen responded one after another, and everyone was very excited.
Actually, after seeing the mine management notice and the recruitment notice, many of them wanted to sign up. The Zhejiang Army paid well, and it was not a military household. It was just the clan leader's word that no one was allowed to sign up to join the army. , that’s why no one went. Now that the clan leader has spoken, agreed and encouraged them to sign up, how could they not be excited and excited.
Zhu Ping'an, Liu Dadao and others couldn't help but smile when they saw the enthusiasm of the Chen clan and Beilei villagers.
"Patriarch, do you really agree with us to sign up?" A villager was worried and confirmed again.
"Nonsense, tomorrow, if I see anyone who is qualified but doesn't sign up, I will stop you for turning around."
Chen Dacheng couldn't help laughing and scolding.
"Hehehehe" the villagers giggled and beat their chests loudly, "The tribe has spoken, then we will definitely go tomorrow."
"A man is born between heaven and earth, and if he doesn't do anything, Isn't this great undertaking a waste of time? . If my brother hadn’t been in jail and no one had taken care of my parents, I would have been the first to go to the county to sign up tomorrow!”
Chen Dacheng sighed with regret and lowered his eyes. He pursed his lips and said lonely.
Um?
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be stunned. Chen Dacheng agreed that the Chen clan and Beilei villagers would sign up to join the army, which was a good start. However, if Chen Dacheng could take the lead in signing up to join the army, what would happen if Chen Dacheng could take the lead in signing up to join the army? Chen Dacheng's influence will definitely stimulate and encourage the entire Yiwu County people to sign up.
If there was an opportunity for Chen Dacheng to take the lead in signing up to join the army, Zhu Pingan would not want to miss it.
"Clan Chief Chen, just now you said that my brother is squatting in prison. I wonder what he has committed and is behind bars?"
Zhu Ping'an asked Chen Dacheng, wanting to know more Take a look at the situation to see if there is anything hidden in it.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an would definitely not bend the law for personal gain in order to get Chen Dacheng to sign up to join the army.
"My brother did not commit any crime." Chen Dacheng said firmly.
"You were thrown into jail despite committing no crime?" Zhu Ping'an looked at Chen Dacheng in confusion. Magistrate Zhao didn't look like someone who abused lynching.
"My brother is innocent. He was beaten by the Yamen and turned into a murderer." Chen Dacheng mentioned his brother and couldn't help but get excited. "My brother is well-known in our Beilei Village. A nerd, a weak scholar who has no ability to tie a chicken. Apart from reading and making mistakes, that is the field. He can’t farm, he can’t dig mines, he’s a kind man, he wouldn’t even trample an ant to death, so how could he kill his sister-in-law?”
“Yes, we are very familiar with Chen Erlang. , Chen Erlang doesn’t even dare to watch us fighting for mines, how dare he kill his wife?”
"That's right, Chen Erlang is famous for his love for his wife. He can't bear to even scold him on weekdays, so how could he be willing to ruthlessly kill her? Besides, the couple rarely argue or quarrel. I have never heard of it. How could he kill his wife for no reason? There must be some grievance in it.” laugh , the love is not good enough, Chen Erlang killed his wife the next day?! He even removed his wife's head, which is not consistent with common sense. Besides, Chen Erlang is very weak, and he may not be able to beat his wife. "How could killing one's wife be so silent? Why didn't the neighbors hear anything?" opinions. People felt that Chen Erlang was unjust and innocent, and raised the reasons for their doubts.
Huh? !
Chen Erlang killed his wife and took off his wife’s head? !
After listening to the words of Chen Dacheng and the onlookers, Zhu Pingan immediately understood the reason why Chen Erlang was in jail. He also roughly understood why Chen Dacheng was at odds with Zhao Zhixian. It was all because of Chen Erlang's wife murder case. (End of this chapter)
