Chapter 578 Moving and finding a bandit camp
It was a hot day, so Guan Shuli ordered people to dig a pit, and sent people to bring in the ice cubes stored in the Guan family's cellar, and put the corpses of the bandits and dead soldiers into the deep pits covered with ice cubes. Only then have they been preserved until now. It doesn't stink yet.
When Luo Tongpan and others saw this corpse pit, they were all shocked by the ice inside... The Guan family was indeed extraordinary. Even if they were in trouble, they could make this ice pit to store corpses when needed.
Luo Tongjing specializes in criminal cases and has twenty years of experience in handling cases. His gangsters are also masters. After a day of examining the corpses in the corpse pit, he got a lot of clues.
The next day, Tang Baihu also arrived in the village.
Luo Tongpan gathered everyone together and asked Zuo Zuo to talk about the clues he found.
"Judging from the corpses, these bandits should have lived on the rocky cliffs all year round. Their hands and feet have traces of wear and tear from climbing the cliffs."
"The nails on the hands and feet have a dark color... In Tianmang Mountain, there is a plant called Heiliancao, which produces a kind of black berries. It tastes sour and bitter, but it has the effect of removing the miasma in the mountain. Many mountain people have seen it. They all pick it up and eat it, so many mountain people who go out to sell goods also have this dark color on their fingernails.”
After hearing this, Jiang Dalang asked: "Maybe the location of the bandit's stronghold can be determined based on where the grass grows?"
The old man was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Yes, yes, but the scope is a bit large."
How big is it? It's as big as half Dongming Mansion and half Tianmang Mansion.
There is no way, the Tianmang Mountain range spans several prefectures, and black grass only grows in an area as big as one prefecture, which is considered a small-scale herb.
Jiang Dalang was delighted: "That's enough."
"That's enough? Can't you just find the bandit stronghold? Hahaha, you are so arrogant!" Gao Baihu's commanding officer, the small flag commander of the Fu army, laughed out loud.
Bang!
Liang Zhi slammed the table and shouted: "Come here, take Zhou Xiaoqi down and beat the five army sticks with the stick!"
That's right, Zhou Xiaoqi is a relative of Zhou Zongqi. Like Zhou Zongqi, he is Gao Baihu's confidant, and the whole family relies on Gao Baihu for promotion.
"Yes!" General Liang's soldiers immediately rushed in and escorted Zhou Xiaoqi away.
Zhou Xiaoqi was frightened and angry, and wanted to resist, but was beaten to the ground by two Liang Jiajun and took him to use military law.
Tang Baihu only glanced at Zhou Xiaoqi and finally said nothing... The people under Gao Baihu had to be cured before they could be used by him.
Then he looked at Fang Xiaoqi next to him... This was also from Gao Baihu, but he only listened honestly and didn't say anything. Tang Baihu was very satisfied.
"What's little brother Jiang's trick? Tell me." Tang Baihu asked.
Jiang Dalang felt that the suppression of the bandits was the best opportunity for him to climb up, so he spared no effort to demonstrate his abilities. He took out a map of the back mountain and said: "The tunnels dug by the bandits have given us the direction... Go down the tunnel and follow the Follow the exit and follow the traces in the forest. As long as you find the black grass, if there is a bandit village nearby, you will definitely find traces of the bandits' activities. "
"There are many people in the bandit village. Even if the bandits want to erase the traces of their activities, it is impossible. So as long as we get close to the place, we will definitely find the bandit village."
"However, this method requires experienced scouts, ordinary soldiers cannot do this job."
"Scout soldiers?" Tang Baihu remembered and said with a smile: "When you heard about the case of Fenfangyuan, you also relied on scouting methods to find traces of the accommodation of escaped evildoers."
Jiang Dalang nodded: "Your Majesty, this is indeed true... The boy's scouting skills were taught by Grandpa Qin, and he is a veteran who has taken off his armor."
Tang Baihu looked at Mr. Qin and performed the military etiquette: "As expected of an old man, even if he takes off his armor, the skills he teaches to the younger generations are enough to save their lives."
Grandpa Qin hurriedly avoided it, and returned to the Wei army's etiquette, saying: "Your Excellency, this is a ridiculous compliment. The old man just wants not to embarrass the Wei army."
"Hahaha, where is the shame? You have given face to our Wei army!" Tang Baihu smiled, praised Grandpa Qin, and asked him how he was injured before continuing to study the route to find the bandit stronghold.
The route is decided.
But... "There aren't that many scouts." Tang Baihu was in trouble.
It's not that he belittled the Dongming Mansion's army. In fact, the officers and soldiers of the Dongming Mansion were good at guarding the city, but when it came to suppressing bandits and going to the battlefield, they were not as good as the Northwest Army.
Tang Baihu looked at Liang Zhi: "Xiao Liang Baihu, the government army can only assist in suppressing the bandits, and the Liang family army has to be the main attack."
This is what Liang Jiajun wants to do.
Liang Zhi was also unambiguous: "I have sent a letter to the capital to ask my father for troops and horses, but I am not sure when he will come."
"But we can't wait and look for traces to find the bandit stronghold. We must do it immediately. Otherwise, the bandits will get the news and take precautions, and it will be difficult for us to break into the bandit stronghold."
"Yes, that's the truth." Tang Baihu and the others nodded.
Therefore, it was decided that day to send people out tomorrow to search for the bandits' stronghold along the tunnel.
"What clues can be found on the corpses of dead soldiers?" Guan Shuli asked, with an uncompromising look in his eyes, and said: "Raising dead soldiers, collaborating with bandits to kill good people, no matter what they are, were all capital crimes in the Wei Dynasty... …Forget it in the past, but during the general amnesty, openly colluding with bandits and entering the village to kill good people is not allowed by the laws of nature and the country!”
this?
Can't you stop being so righteous?
Luo Tongpan had a headache and didn't speak. He glanced at Tang Baihu and asked him for help.
Tang Baihu showed off his martial arts skills and pretended not to understand.

Luo Tongpan: "..."
Look at Kang County Magistrate again.
Who made Kang County Magistrate's official position so low? He could only say: "All traces of the dead soldiers in the village and the bodies of the three dead soldiers found in the mountains have been wiped clean. It is difficult to find their masters."
After the leader of the dead soldiers fled into the mountains with two dead soldiers, he did not just escape. Instead, he destroyed all traces and committed suicide by taking poison.
"The poison you take is poison. Although it is expensive, you can buy it with a lot of money. It is also difficult to start with the poison."
Secretary Guan remained silent, looking at the corpse of the dead soldier for a long time, and then said something frightening: "There is a way to dissect the internal organs, and you can find the drugs that the dead soldier often took to forge the body... Use these drugs to check , there is a chance to find out where the dead soldiers are good at.”
No, you, you, are you speaking in human language?
The old man was shocked... I looked at you so elegantly and gracefully, but I never imagined that you are more ruthless than the living King of Hell.
But Guan Shuli was determined: "Collude with bandits and massacre good people, and we must not let it go unnoticed."
He also said: "If the yamen can't do it, then my Guan family will do it. I just ask the government and county yamen to make it easier for me."
Are you asking us to make it easier?
You are going to overturn the nobles’ nest of raising dead people!
But everyone with a certain status knows about family matters.
Now Emperor Wuxing is in power again, and it is also heard that Emperor Wuxing is going to pardon a group of royal family members who were previously exempted... It is still unclear what the future of the Guan family will be.
Luo Tongpan, Kang County Magistrate, and Tang Baihu glanced at each other, and finally said to Liang Zhi: "I'm not asking you to work, I'm just asking you to close one eye, what's the difficulty in this? Secretary Guan, I I will lend you some soldiers to help you. I, the soldiers of the Liang Family Army, can do whatever you want.”
Yes, Liang Zhi said so, and County Magistrate Kang and the others could only agree.
Secretary Guan was overjoyed and immediately arranged the next steps.
As for the Qin family, seeing that there were too many soldiers coming into the village, life was really inconvenient, and their house was burned down, so they decided to move to Xinkufang Street first.
