After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 578 Moving and Finding the Bandit Camp

It was hot, so Guan Shuli ordered his men to dig a pit and sent people to fetch the ice stored in Guan's cellar. He then placed the bodies of the bandits and the assassins into the deep pit covered with ice. That's how they have been preserved until now and haven't started to stink.

When Luo Tongpan and others saw the corpse pit, they were all shocked by the ice inside... The Guan family was indeed extraordinary. Even when they were in trouble, they could still build this ice pit to store corpses when needed.

Pan Pan Luo specializes in criminal cases and has twenty years of experience in handling cases. His coroners are also veterans. After examining the bodies in the pit for a day, they obtained a number of clues.

The next day, Captain Tang also arrived in the village.

Judge Luo gathered everyone together and asked the coroner to tell the clues they had found.

"From the bodies, it seems that these bandits lived on the rocky cliffs for many years. Their hands and feet have traces of being worn out from climbing the cliffs."

"The fingernails of the hands and feet are a dark color... In Tianmang Mountain, there is a plant called black lian grass, which produces black berries that taste sour and bitter, but can remove the miasma and dampness in the mountain. Many mountain people will pick them and eat them when they see them, so many mountain people who go out of the mountain to sell goods also have this dark color on their fingernails."

After hearing this, Jiang Dalang asked, "Is it possible to determine the location of the bandit camp by where this grass grows?"

The old coroner was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "It's OK, but the scope is a bit large."

How big is it? It’s as big as half of Dongming Prefecture and half of Tianmang Prefecture.

There is no way. The Tianmang Mountain range spans several prefectures, and the black lian grass only grows in an area as big as a prefecture city, which is already considered a small-scale herb.

Jiang Dalang was delighted: "That's enough."

"Is that enough? Do you think you can find the bandit camp with this? Hahaha, so arrogant!" The flag captain of the palace army under Captain Gao laughed out loud.

boom!

Liang Zhi slammed the table and shouted, "Come here, take Zhou Xiaoqi away and beat him with a five-army stick!"

That’s right, Zhou Xiaoqi is a relative of Zhou Zongqi. Like Zhou Zongqi, he is Gao Baihu’s confidant, and his entire family got promoted thanks to Gao Baihu.

"Yes!" General Liang's soldiers immediately rushed in and took Zhou Xiaoqi away.

Zhou Xiaoqi was shocked and angry and wanted to resist, but was knocked down by two Liang family soldiers and taken away for military punishment.

Captain Tang just glanced at Zhou Xiaoqi and finally said nothing... The people under Captain Gao's command had to be disciplined before they could be used by him.

He glanced at Fang Xiaoqi next to him... He was also Captain Gao's man, but he just listened honestly and didn't say anything rude, which made Captain Tang very satisfied.

"Brother Jiang, what's your trick? Tell us about it." Captain Tang asked.

Jiang Dalang felt that the fight against the bandits was his best chance to climb up the ladder, so he spared no effort to demonstrate his abilities. He took out a map of the back mountain and said, "The tunnel dug by the bandits has given us a direction... Go down the tunnel, follow the exit, and follow the traces in the forest. As long as we find the black lian grass, if there is a bandit camp nearby, we will definitely be able to find traces of the bandits' activities."

"There are so many people in the bandit camp that even if the bandits want to erase all traces of their activities, it's impossible. So as long as we get closer to the place, we will definitely be able to find the bandit camp."

"However, this method requires experienced scouts to take action. Ordinary soldiers cannot do this job."

"Scout?" Captain Tang remembered and said with a smile, "When I heard about the Fenfangyuan case, you also used scouts to find the traces of the escaped villain's accommodation."

Jiang Dalang nodded: "Your Excellency, it is true... I learned the scouting skills from Grandpa Qin, who is a veteran soldier."

Captain Tang looked at Old Man Qin and performed military etiquette: "As expected of an old senior, even without armor, the skills he taught us are enough to save our lives."

Grandpa Qin hurriedly dodged and responded with a great courtesy to the Wei army, saying: "Your Excellency is too kind. I just hope not to embarrass the Wei army."

"Hahaha, what's shameful about it? You've brought honor to our Wei army!" Captain Tang laughed, praised Grandpa Qin, and asked about his injuries before continuing to study the route to find the bandit camp.

The route has been determined.

but……

"We don't have that many scouts." Captain Tang was in a dilemma.

He was not belittling the Dongming Prefecture's army. It was just that the soldiers were good at defending the city, but when it came to suppressing bandits and going to the battlefield, they were no match for the Northwest Army.

Captain Tang looked at Liang Zhi and said, "Little Captain Liang, when it comes to suppressing the bandits, the government army can only provide assistance, and the Liang family army has to take the lead."

This is what the Liang family army wants to give to others.

Liang Zhi was also unambiguous: "I have sent a letter to the capital to ask my father for troops, but I am not sure when they will arrive."

"But we can't just sit there and wait. We have to look for traces and find the bandit camp right away. Otherwise, the bandits will get the news and be prepared, and it will be difficult for us to break into the bandit camp."

"Yes, that's true." Captain Tang and the others nodded.

Therefore, it was decided that day to send people out the next day to search for the bandit camp along the tunnel.

"Can you find any clues on the bodies of the assassins?" asked the clerk, with a look that would not tolerate compromise. "Raising assassins, colluding with bandits to kill innocent people, no matter which one it is, it is a capital crime in the Wei Dynasty... It was fine in the past, but in this time of amnesty, openly colluding with bandits and entering villages to kill innocent people is intolerable both by heaven and law!"

This?

Can't you be less righteous?

Judge Luo had a headache and said nothing. He glanced at Captain Tang and asked him for help.

Captain Tang used all the roughness of a warrior and pretended not to understand.

Luo Tongpan: "..."

Then he looked at Magistrate Kang.

Since County Magistrate Kang was of a low rank, he could only say, "All traces of the assassins in the village and the three bodies found in the mountains have been wiped out. It is difficult to find their master."

The leader of the death squad fled into the mountains with two other death squad members, but did not try to escape. Instead, he destroyed all traces and committed suicide by taking poison.

"The poison used is 陳毒. Although it is expensive, it is also a medicine that can be bought with a lot of money. It is also difficult to investigate from the poison itself."

The clerk remained silent, staring at the dead soldier's body for a long time, and said something terrifying: "There is a way to dissect the internal organs and find the medicines that the dead soldier often took to strengthen his body... Using these medicines, there is a chance that we can find out what the dead soldier is good at."

No, are you speaking human language?

Even the old coroner was shocked... You looked so gentle and elegant, but I didn't expect that you are more cruel than the King of Hell.

But the clerk was firm: "We must not let this matter of colluding with bandits and slaughtering innocent people go unpunished."

He also said: "If the government office can't do it, then my Guan family will do it. I just ask the government office and the county office to give me some convenience."

Are you asking us to do you a favor?

You are going to uncover the nest where the nobles keep their assassins!

But everyone with a little status knows about the Guan family's affairs.

Now it is Emperor Wuxing who sits on the throne again, and it is also heard that Emperor Wuxing is going to pardon a group of royal relatives who were pardoned before... It is still unknown what the future of the Guan family will be.

Luo Tongpan, Kang Xianling, and Tang Baihu looked at each other and finally said to Liang Zhi: "I'm not asking you to do any work, I just want you to turn a blind eye. What's the difficulty? Guan Shuli, I will lend you soldiers to help you. You can use the soldiers of my Liang family army as you like."

Well, since Liang Zhi said so, County Magistrate Kang and the others had no choice but to agree.

Guan Shuli was overjoyed and immediately arranged the next matters.

As for the Qin family, seeing that there were too many soldiers coming into the village, making life very inconvenient, and their house was burned down, they decided to move to Xinkufang Street first.
