Chapter 1254： Check it out (3)

   Qi Xiuyuan rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, "Can't find any clues?"

It is said that even if so many people are well hidden, there will be traces leaking out, because private soldiers also have to eat and drink, and there will be flaws if necessary.

"They are very secretive, and there are shops and farms in front of them. It is difficult to find the yamen, and they should be independent, so we can't find any clues in the cottage, and only the bandit leader may know. News of each other, but they don't open their mouths, and we can't really kill people."

"I don't believe that they will have no trace at all," Qi Xiuyuan said coldly: "Isn't this cottage exposed because of the murders of the Qin family and the students traveling abroad?"

"If they were really tyrannical and couldn't help but kill people, that's all. The murder of the Qin family and the dozen or so students was an accident..."

These people can hide in the mountains and forests for more than ten years, just to find an opportunity to assassinate them. For example, in the assassination incident of Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong, because various conditions were suitable for assassination, they shot.

When the conditions are not ripe, they practice martial arts hard in the cottage, but how can such a person kill passersby for some money?

It was only because Uncle Qin and the dozen or so students who passed by found some clues.

Regarding these two matters, the dozen or so bandits did not keep their mouths shut any longer. As long as their accomplices were not involved, these people were very talkative and answered questions.

He said the two previous murders as soon as he asked each other, and combined with the words of Grandma Qin, it is not difficult to guess the truth.

Uncle Qin has always liked to talk about strange things, and he likes to find out when he encounters strange things. He also likes to travel around the mountains and waters, so he often visits everywhere, and his knowledge is naturally not ordinary.

Because this time, he took his wife and children to go south to his uncle Qin Shanchang, so he no longer took the dangerous road. Even if he was greedy for the beauty of the mountains and rivers, he would choose the trail he took, so it was inevitable that he would miss the place and stay in the farmhouse.

Uncle Qin's temperament dictates that he loves to talk to the local people about local wonders wherever he goes.

One day they stayed in a farmhouse, not far from the mountain in the cottage, the villagers told Uncle Qin that there were monsters in the mountain and that no one was allowed to enter the deep mountain. Once the villagers crossed the border, they would not be able to come back. They also eat three meals a day. Occasionally, they will see smoke from the cooking deep in the mountains when it is time to cook.

The villagers felt that Master Juren was well-informed, so they asked him with a smile, "Since they are spirits, they should drink wind and dew, why do they need to make a fire to cook like us?"

Grandma Qin remembered her husband's answer at that time, "I'm afraid that these spirits have not yet cultivated home, so they are not out of the ordinary. Such spirits are the most dangerous. In order to replenish their energy, I'm afraid they will eat people. Don’t go into the mountains easily, and don’t go deep into the mountains if you have to.”

Grandma Qin wiped her tears and said, "I thought it was weird at the time, and even blamed the uncle for scaring the villagers, because although the uncle likes to hear about these ghosts, he never believes that there are ghosts and spirits in this world. He often tells the children that there are no gods in the world. Buddha, people want to have gods and Buddhas, so there are gods and Buddhas in this world; there are no ghosts and ghosts in this world, but people are afraid and often attribute unexplainable things to ghosts.”

Grandma Qin cried: "If I had asked more questions at that time, I would have stopped him and walked down the path."

The bandit leader said to Qi Haoran: "Although we are secretive, we are inevitably negligent, so we often ask people to pretend to be you Fang Langzhong or a merchant to inquire in the villages and towns under the cottage. Once something happens, we can deal with it as soon as possible, and there were people who suspected it before. There were people in the mountains, and they were pushed into the mountains to look for them." The bandit leader sneered, "We killed all those who entered the mountain and those who had heard of this incident, and then asked people to spread some ghost stories, never again. People dare to go deep into the mountains."

"The one surnamed Qin is fine and good, and he sent those villagers along with the spooky theory, otherwise we would even kill them by accident."

In fact, if it wasn't for Mu Bowen and the others, the disappearance of the Qin family could have been an accident. At that time, they were also arrogant. They thought that the Qin family was only a dozen or so family members, and they were powerless. I just selected more than 20 people from the bottom to send out, who knew that I would encounter an iron plate?

They wanted to send someone to kill Mu Bowen and his party, but they moved quickly and quickly entered the nearest county town. They could kill people in the suburbs, but not in the city, and the possibility of being discovered and caught It's too big, and they also found that Mu Bowen's identity is not simple, so they let people leave alive.

As for the dozen or so students traveling abroad, it was a complete surprise.

They didn't know who they were listening to, but they thought that there were mines in the mountains, because they had been failing in the exams, so they wanted to take shortcuts and make a contribution. A dozen or so people met in the mountains to check for one or two.

They learned some reconnaissance skills and invited two hunters to lead the way into the mountain. As a result, they discovered the cottage by accident.

Those talented people knew that they were not ordinary bandits when they saw the fortification of the cottage, it was almost like a rebellion.

The bandit leader sneered: "They thought they had made a great contribution and could take advantage of this, but they didn't expect us to find them. They died before they had time to report, but the two hunters had better luck. At that time, they fled into the forest and disappeared, but they didn't go home, they were probably eaten by wild animals in the mountains."

Qi Haoran couldn't stand the proud look of the bandit leader, and said, "So what? You murdered people to reveal your deeds, and let the court people discover you."

The bandit leader sneered: "That's also because we are unlucky and we don't act well. It will be difficult for you to find other people. If you don't kill us, we will live by watching your jokes, hahaha... "

Qi Haoran finished the interrogation process and said angrily: "Brother, what other way do you think we can pry their mouths open?"

"Isn't there anything the Dali Si Qing can do?"

"In addition to using punishment, he just reasoned with the other party. Those people were loyal to Qin Fang. Even if he put all kinds of evidence of Qin Fang's crimes in front of them, they didn't care about it, saying, 'No matter what the foster father did to others, he did not care about us. It is the kindness that is as heavy as the sky. It not only saved our lives, but also allowed us to have clothes to wear, food to eat, a house to live in, and even to read and write." Reason with him?"

Qi Xiuyuan had no choice but to stare at his younger brother silently for a moment, only to wave him away.

When Qi Haoran returned home, the tiger head and the little lion were leading their younger siblings to sing.

Qi Haoran frowned after hearing this, and asked, "How did you all learn to sing this song?"

This was written by the great scholar Chen Guangdi to satirize Qin Fang. It was spread from his students, and it had spread all over the streets at this time. Chen Guangdi used this to brush up his previously damaged reputation.

"Many people were singing on the street. We thought it was pretty good, so we learned to sing it back to my mother."

Mu Yangling patted their heads and said, "Okay, I already understand. Isn't that just comparing Qin Fang to a big rat? Go play in the garden, and I will talk to your father."

The tiger head and the little lion immediately ran into the garden singing loudly, and the little lion and Baozhu also sang and followed.

"I went out with my children today and heard people on the street singing this song. There were even people in the restaurant and teahouse criticizing Qin Fang. The people sitting around were very excited. A light stroke of the flint can detonate everyone's emotions, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to control at that time."

"Big brother just told me about this, but the people were not lightly stimulated, and they were so excited because of the push from people with intentions, but the bandits in the Tianjing were beaten to death and did not confess, we couldn't find their accomplices at all. There's no way to vent everyone's fire."
