Chapter 33 Meet Dalu Huachi
"However, I can't think of a motive." Zhang wanted to speak but stopped.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Li Zheng is interested. My family has always been good, intelligent and diligent, otherwise I would not have pushed him to the head.
"If it is done by the Red Turban Army, it means that the Red Turban Army intends to attack our side, but at present, the Red Turban Army in the north is Liu Futong. They have been actively developing to the north and are not interested in us. Guo Zixing and Sun Deya in the west are in civil strife and have no time to go outside. A few days ago, I heard that they are in Taizhou City. A thousand households named Tang He under Guo Zixing were arrested and shot to death by random arrows because of their arrest. In the south, bandits such as Xu Shouhui and Peng Yingyu were attacking Hangzhou and were unable to take care of us at all. Therefore, I really couldn't guess which people did it. Besides, if it were really the Red Turban Army, they would not kill a Qiu Yi for no reason. We have come to attack our county for a long time. Zhang's head analyzed himself one by one.
"So..." Li Zheng thought about it. This is just an accident. It is likely that Qiu Yi offended someone, so he was killed halfway."
"Well, there is such a possibility." Zhang agreed with Li Zheng's analysis.
"These people are so bold that they dare to kill Qiu Yi, and they actually have firearms?"
As long as it is not the Red Turban Army, Li Zheng is relieved. Thinking of the tide of the Red Turban Army, if he really comes, he will definitely die.
As for a few unruly people, they are not too afraid.
"You can investigate this matter in private and see who did it. We reported above that it was done by the Red Turban Army. Anyway, there are red Turban Army everywhere, and the whole army of Gaoyou Mansion has been transferred to suppress it. We have mixed up a few red Turban troops here. We can't blame it very much, can we?"
"The master is so tall!" Zhang's head praised.
"Go, go with me to see Dalu Huachi."
"What are you going to do with the plague god?"
"Qiu Yi is dead. He is a Mongolian, and he is the subordinate of Lord Li, the governor of Gaoyou. I guess Hadan Battle already knows about Qiu Yi now. We have to do something and push the boat along the way."
"The master is thoughtful!" Zhang Futou sincerely agrees this time that his master can be the county magistrate until now, and he has always been from left to right, like a fish in water. There are really a lot of Taoism in this officialdom.
Out of the red lacquer gate, next to the stone lion at the door, a delicate soft sedan chair has been waiting aside.
Purple sandalwood, finely carved with beautiful patterns, red silk on the top of the sedan chair, low drooping yellow spikes, light red door curtain, half on the bars on both sides, inside is a master chair.
Li Zheng walked slowly into the sedan chair, turned around, sat on the chair, and put down the door curtain.
Four sedan chairs, with short ridges, bare shoulders and a layer of callus on their shoulders.
"Gone up the sedan chair!" The four people straightened up together, raised the sedan chair, kept their balance, and walked forward tremblingly.
As a result, the horse led by the family next to him pulled the reins in his hand, pedaled the horse with his left foot, and turned over the horse.
"Drive!" With his legs clamped on the horse's body, he followed the sedan chair and walked to the Dalu Huachi Mansion.
Xinghua City is not big. It only takes half an hour to walk from the west of the city to the east of the city.
"Please inform me, County Yin Li Zheng is asking to see you." Li Zheng got off the sedan chair and said to the family in Dalu Huachi Mansion.
On the contrary, he had to respect his deputy, and Li Zheng didn't care at all. The whole Yuan Dynasty was the same rule.
"Please come to the side hall to wait." After a while, the housekeeper came out and said.
"Okay." Hearing that he went to the side hall, Li Zheng was not dissatisfied at all. He took Zhang's head and walked inside.
Dalu Huachi Mansion covers an area three times that of its own house. It has a deep courtyard, rockery and flowing water, and all kinds of pavilions.
After the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, they gradually learned to enjoy it, and then let them return to the desolate grassland. I'm afraid no one is willing to go.
The side hall is in the southeast corner, and the two of them entered the side hall. Li was sitting on a chair on the right, and immediately a maid came to make tea.
Li Zheng tasted tea while waiting for Dalu Huachi while looking around.
Although the whole house is gorgeous, in Li Zheng's eyes, it is purely an upstart-style show.
Luxury but not ostentatious, exquisite but not luxurious, every item makes it shine with the side, which requires a kind of culture, a special culture of Jiangnan scholars.
Li is a cultural person who has been influenced by the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child.
"Oh, is Lord Yin here?" A rough voice interrupted Li Zheng's thinking.
"Brother Hardan." Li Zheng has always called him that, which is both kind and unidentified.
"Why are you free today?" Hardan Battle will occasionally become very polite.
"Today, there was a crime committed by the Red Turban Army in this county. I'm here to report Brother Hadan."
"What? Is there a red scarf army coming? Hardan Battle's face changed, "This, the responsibility of lax governance, I'm afraid..."
"Brother Hadan, our entire army of Gaoyou Mansion has been sent to suppress Liu Futong in the north. Our Xinghua County is even weak. A few bandits come over, and we really can't guard against it."
Li Zheng knew that the main responsibility of Dalu Huachi was to monitor the Han people in the station. As soon as something happened, he would definitely put himself out of it and push others up as a scapegoat. Therefore, you have to find a good step down.
"Well, that's true. We really don't have enough manpower." Hadan Bartel immediately calmed down, and it was easy to discuss only if there was an excuse.
"I am also deeply saddened that Qiu Yi was unfortunately attacked and killed." Li Zheng said sadly.
"What? Which Qiu Yi?"
"It's Qiu Yi from Baiju Salt Farm. On the way to Gaoyou Mansion, he was attacked by bandits of the Red Turban Army and died..." Li Zheng continued. From the beginning, he had to put this hat on the head of the Red Scarf Army, so that he could shirk responsibility.
"Is there evidence for this?" Hadan Battle is not a fool. This Qiu Yi is a Mongolian. According to the law, the murderer must be severely punished, but the Red Turban Army...
"Capture Zhang, please explain it to Lord Dalu Huachi." Li Zheng said to Zhang, who was standing behind him.
"Yes, my lord." Zhang's head bowed to Hadan Bartel. "After receiving the report, the villain immediately went to the scene to investigate. Qiu Yi should have been besieged by a group of red scarf troops. He was attacked and killed, and his head was also cut off. Only the cruel red scarf army bandits could do it. And..."
"And what?"
"And it was obvious at the scene that Qiu Yi was attacked by a firearm. I heard that Guo Zixing in the west had a firearm."
"It's really the Red Turban Army, his grandma's. If I meet this group of bandits, they will all be right on the spot!" Hardan Battle completely believed it this time.
"Then, I'll report it to Gaoyou?" Li Zheng asked tentatively.
"Well, you will report it now. Report it immediately!" Hardan Battle is a little angry. Of course, this fire is for these Red Turban Army.
You last people should all be cut off. What did Big Sweat think at the beginning? What kind of field should I grow? It's good to change it all into a pasture here!
Li Zheng's hanging heart was relieved, and there was an explanation for this matter.
