Finding another good strategy

Jiang Bin was so excited that he walked out of the gate. When he saw that his nose was crooked, his subordinates were there, and no one left. These people stood at the gate, putting their hands in their sleeves and stomping their feet to drive Han Zheng to him. When he saw him coming out, he immediately laughed and laughed.

Jiang Bin glared at them angrily and walked forward. A group of unfaithful subordinates, including a few personal soldiers brought from Xuanfu, followed behind to watch the fun. Jiang Bin cursed secretly: "Today, it's a small pass. I've been in a bridal chamber and I've become a big shot."

He turned his head to look at the house next to him, and felt a little embarrassed: "I bought this house, so I was so angry. I saw it next to Wang Xianyan. It seems that I have to ask a chef to take a look. Uh... Damn, Bazhou seems to have no Feng Shui master, and all those with legs are scared away."

This swagger was really a scene in Bazhou. The people on the road pointed at this scene and were extremely excited. They all chased after them. Jiang Bin carried a bundle of firewood, was bare-handed, with a pair of calves underneath, but wearing a pair of high-waisted military boots, and walked on the street.

Jiang Bin is handsome and has a strong body. His twilight muscles, broad and powerful arms, and his pectoral muscles that are as thick as a hill. He is really eye-catching, especially when passing by Hua Street, several old madams and turtle men are standing at the door and basking in the sun. Suddenly, they saw this scene. They didn't know who Jiang Bin was, so they couldn't help but point and laughed.

The loud shouts caused the girls upstairs to push open the window, sit on the railing, holding melon seeds in their hands, and throwing them into skins while eating them, throwing them into a charming look, and the watery eyes were all circling on Jiang Bin's body.

Seeing this, Jiang Bin suddenly felt energetic and his waist became even more straight. His body was no longer so cold. The bundle of firewood carried on his shoulder seemed to have turned into a Qinglong Yanyue sword. He held his head up and his chest was swaying like flying. From time to time, he shook his strong chest muscles and smiled evilly at the girl upstairs with a slutty look on his face, which made the girls scream and cheer, and there were even people whistling.

Jiang Bin took the lead and led a large group of people watching the fun to the imperial envoy. The guards of the headquarters saw a large group of people coming from a distance and rushed in to report the news. Song Xiaoai was shocked when she heard the news. She rushed out quickly with a scimitar, followed by a group of musketeers, and nervously pulled out.

When Song Xiaoai arrived at the door, he saw that many people came. However, none of them were holding weapons and laughed loudly. It was not like the civil warrior at all. The lunatic at the front looked familiar... Ah! It was Jiang Bin, a guerrilla in Bazhou.

Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Master Jiang. What are you doing? You are not dressed in a mess, poor and evil manner, and you are leading so many people. Bazhou is not messy enough, right?"

He was doing the whole show and was frozen all the way. What else could he do? Jiang Bin said seriously: "Mr. Song, the last general... is here to apologize to the Duke of the People."

Song Xiaoai had already guessed a few points when he saw that he looked like he was accusing him. When he heard that this living treasure was indeed like the ancients who carried thorns and apologized for guilt, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. She covered her mouth and said, "Is it because of Zhang Mao's business? He is a thief. He is not a thief. Even if he is a cousin, he cannot commit the crime of punishing you. What kind of crime do you bear? What kind of crime do you ask for?"

Jiang Bin sighed and said with a deep pain: "It's really windy here, it's really cold here, there are too many people watching the fun, uh... Can Lord Song report it to you and see Lord Duke, and I will report it one by one."

Song Xiaoai laughed and said, "That's a coincidence. Lord Jiang, the Duke of the State, interrogated the prisoner in the Bazhou Prefecture Prison, for a while, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back."

When Jiang Bin heard this, he turned grief into grief. He had to go to the magistrate again. Wouldn't he be frozen to death? Wait, the Duke of the State went to interrogate the prisoner? It was broken. If my cousin was not loyal and confessed to me first, wouldn't I show my sincerity if I took the thorns and apologized for guilt?

When Jiang Bin thought about this, he didn't care whether he was cold or not. Without saying a word, he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Song, I will immediately rush to the prison to see the Duke."

Jiang Bin turned around, carried firewood, and led a large group of people watching the fun. He shook his arms and headed straight to the prison, without anyone leading the way. He was familiar with the place, and he often went there a few days ago, and he knew the nearest road.

Song Xiaoai watched him leave for no reason. Jiang Bin was burly and indeed a handsome man with wide shoulders and thick flesh, a tiger-back and a bear waist, and a strong body. Xiaoai couldn't help but compare: Well... he is pretty good, but he is far inferior to my Xiaowu. He has a tiger-back and bear waist, Xiaowu has a thin waist, his arms are as thick as his thighs, Xiaowu has a tiger-armed body, um... Xiaowu looks handsome than him, um... Xiaowu's skin is whiter than him, um..."

"Hahaha, the kings and princes are defeated, since they are in your hands, my family has no intention of going out alive. Life is full of autumn, and Zhang has lived a life of great prosperity and joy, and there is no regret. Duke, don't bother, don't you, how could Zhang Mao do the land for betrayal of his brothers?"

Yang Ling waved his hand, two food boxes and a jar of good wine were sent to the cell. Yang Ling sighed softly: "In the past, I was a guest and was treated warmly by Brother Zhang; now I am my prisoner, and Yang still wants to give you a gift."

Zhang Mao bowed his hand and the iron shackles tied to his hands and feet were clamoring: "Thank you, Duke, you are a man, and Zhang doesn't want to be an enemy of you, but luck makes people mess with you, haha, hehe, I have a high hope for you."

Yang Ling shook his head and turned around and walked out. Hua Tui Guan was supported by someone and followed him. Hua Tui Guan is now the acting agent of Bazhou, in charge of the criminal name of a government. These serious offenders are naturally under his jurisdiction.

"Sir. Zhang still has a reluctant request. Can you please give me a favor?"

Yang Ling stopped, but did not look back.

"Qi Yanming is Zhang's brother-in-law. Now it is in the hands of the Duke. Zhang's big head is definitely given to the Duke. I wonder if the Duke can transfer the Duke Qi into this prison. Some family wants to have a drink with the Duke and talk about the parting!"

The government has never been able to catch important figures of the Xiangmao thief. Even if several minions were arrested, they had very limited understanding of the leader and the entire organization. Finally, Qi Yanming was captured when he committed the crime. The government learned that he was an important figure of the Xiangmao thief and had used all the tortures, but he could not force him to reveal a word.

Later, Zhang Mao asked Zhang Zhong to rescue him, but Qi Yanming was caught at the scene of the crime. The case was found out, and it was really difficult to let the person go out in a noble way, so he was still imprisoned. However, with Zhang Zhong spending a lot of money to take care of him, he was enjoyable in prison.

Yang Ling heard this, nodded and continued to walk forward.

Zhang Mao patted the mud seal on the wine jar with one hand, and the wine smelled everywhere. Zhang Mao held the edge of the jar with one hand and held the bottom of the jar with the other hand. He raised the jar and drank it "gudongdong" and smeared the wine stains on the lips, laughed and said, "Good wine, good wine, brothers, drink a few sips each, Hu Er. Then."

He was a single cell, and the next door to the prison were several minions of the Xiangmao thief. He was holding a vertical railing and looking at this side. Zhang Mao had iron shackles nailed to the walls, and could not reach the walls on both sides, so he waved his arms and threw the wine jar flat.

A horse thief grabbed the wine jar and let out a "wow". The wine in the jar splashed. He put his mouth to the side of the railing, tilted his neck and sipped a few times. The wine splashed on his mouth and nose and choked, and his face was coughing red for a moment, but he still gasped and praised: "Good wine, good wine, great wine, strong enough, brothers, come! Everyone tastes the wine that the Duke of the People will appreciate!"

The wine jar was spinning in the prison, and there was a cheer. Yang Ling heard it, smiled faintly, and walked out of the prison cell.

"Dude", the official Hua Tui walked away quickly and touched the wound, so he was a little breathless: "Why do you have to be polite to these death row prisoners? They shouted that they were clearly demonstrating to you. It would be better to be punished. Maybe there will be a few who can't stand the punishment and willing to confess."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "I know they are demonstrating to me, but they have already brought a lot of things. A jar of good wine will be my return gift."

The Hua Tutor asked in surprise: "Did you ask? What did you ask?"

There is a class room outside the prison, which is usually the place for prisoners to work and rest. Yang Ling walked into the door and said, "Come on, let's take a break here. If you have been away for a long time, the wounds will not be able to bear it."

Huatui nodded gratefully, and walked in. The prison officer cleverly watched the seat and invited someone to make tea.

Yang Ling and Hua Tutor sat on two chairs. Yang Ling flicked the table with his fingers, and a smile of worry slowly rose between his eyebrows, and said softly: "Master Hua, we probably have a mistake. It seems that the horse thief in Bazhou is not so easy to clear."

When the official Hua Tui knew that he must have something to say, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Please tell me clearly by the Duke of the People."

Yang Ling sighed leisurely: "Oh! I originally wanted to use Zhang Zhong as bait to capture the main leader of the horse thief, and catch them all by following the vines. Unfortunately... our previous information was limited, and we had insufficient estimates of them, so the plan was difficult to work."

He lifted up the tea lid, blew the tea water but did not drink it. Instead, he stared at the faint and floating light green tea leaves with his eyes intent, and whispered: "In the past, the government of Bazhou has always mistakenly regarded the Xiangma thief as a bandit. It was not until Yang Hu moved to Bazhou that he realized that the Xiangma thief was a natural line and had limited understanding of their strength.

We always thought that they had only dozens of people. Because the horse thieves used to rob large households, they immediately fled far away once they failed. They rarely fought head-on with officers and soldiers, and seriously underestimated their combat power. As a result, the ambush was not ideal and they escaped for most of the horses. Judging from the situation in prison today, their organization is never as simple as we originally estimated."

"Mr. Hua, we originally estimated that the so-called horse thieves were some clever and poor horse households who secretly worked as bandits in order to make money and combine them together, and then serve the people in an open manner. They gathered for the time being and organized loosely. Now it seems that this is not the case.

Lord Hua, have you noticed that I just advised Zhang Mao to surrender in prison. When the thieves called each other, most of them called brothers, and few people called them by their names. When Zhang Mao talked to them, he called them by their names directly. What does this mean..."

Tutor Hua suddenly realized that he had been accusing the case for the rest of his life and had not paid much attention to the knowledge of robbers greetings in prison. When Yang Ling reminded him, he suddenly said: "These horses... are directly controlled by Zhang Mao, and are not familiar with each other? Or... they acted every time they deliberately summoned their subordinates from different places, and they were never allowed to communicate their names and hometowns?"

Ordinary people rarely leave their own places and wander around, and the government is not allowed. Some villagers will never be separated from the village for a lifetime. They only need to control it simply, so that it is very easy for subordinates who act at the same time to not know each other.

Yang Ling nodded and said, "That's right, but they can never absorb only one or two loud horses in every place. If they absorb several loud horses in the same village and do not let each other know their identity, then the place where they draw will inevitably be a set of people of different subordinates in each action.

I think this is why the Bazhou government asked the baojia people to count their household registrations many times to check the number and time of the people who left home to visit friends and traded, but they were unable to find out the reasons why some suspicious people came to compare and match the time and location of the horse thieves each time. At the same time, it proved that the more than 100 horses who appeared today were not their full strength. The iceberg only showed a tip of the iceberg."

Hua Tui Guan took a breath and said in panic: "Bazhou Xiangmath is so powerful? Why... why haven't we noticed it?"

Yang Ling said calmly: "I'm afraid that many of them have been involved in land cases before, and many of them have been placed on Yang Hu and other bandits. The suppression of bandits in Bazhou just ended, and the wind calmed down. They must have all been dormant during the suppression of bandits. Then their Duke came to Bazhou, and they had not had time to start active again."

Tui Guan Hua's face was solemn and nodded silently.

Yang Ling said again: "So, Zhang Maocai was so relaxed and was not worried about the torture of the official. There would be a cartilage confession to destroy their entire organization. Early this morning, Zhang Mao was captured by a trap, and Xiangmath immediately ordered the retreat. Obviously, there were other leaders in their organization whose status was no less than Zhang Mao's. Judging from the descriptions of Xiao Wu, Xiao Ai and Dabiaochui, they did meet several leaders who could order Xiangmath to order Xiangmath to."

"Let's assume it." Yang Ling moved away from the teacup and said, "For example, if this horse thief has several big leaders, or even several teams of horses are not in charge of each other's territory, the leaders have formed a certain degree of alliance.

But they each have a set of troops, just like the East Factory, the West Factory, the Inner Factory and the Jinyiwei. The people below are inconsistent with each other, and the four leaders don’t know who the other leaders are under…”.

Hua Tui Guan smiled bitterly and said, "Dude, if that is to say, we have caught Zhang Mao, and Zhang Mao is willing to confess. As long as the other three leaders are hidden, we will still be unable to eliminate them. At most, we will destroy the forces belonging to Zhang Mao, and at the same time force the other leaders whose identities are exposed, they will escape from disaster. The lurking horse thieves will also select new leaders, and once the time is right, they will rekindle..."

Yang Ling also smiled bitterly and said, "It's the land, Zhang Mao is willing to confess and recruit several other leaders. I also hope that Zhang Mao is the highest leader of the Xiangma Pirates. For the entire Xiangma team and several other leaders, he is not a sworn brother, but the only leader with supreme power. At the same time, he also holds the entire Xiangma team's place list.

But this hope...is not great. If he was the only leader of the entire Xiangma team, with such great power that affects the survival of the entire team, those Xiangma might rather lose all of them than rescue him desperately, than retreating decisively."

Hua Tuiguan hit his fist and palm, and said hatefully: "No matter what, he finally caught a big fish. The people's hearts are like iron, and the official law is like a furnace. Zhang Mao usually wears and eats rich clothes and food, so he may not be able to withstand torture. Don't be polite to such a big thief. The subordinates punished and served day and night, and I don't think he wouldn't stop him."

Yang Ling sighed and said, "I'm afraid...that's the only way. But this is the case. It's hard for Bazhou to complete its full results. I can't stay in Bazhou for a long time. The emperor has issued an order. I just want to lure the horses out of the horses, so I pretend to admit that I want to escort these corrupt officials into the capital. Now the horses thieves will not be the last time they are killed. Tomorrow I will have to announce the sacred edict, send the corrupt officials in Bazhou, and then set off to return to Beijing. This place will require Lord Hua to work hard."

Hua Tui Guan hurriedly bowed and said, "Inspect the bandits and robbers, it is a matter for the subordinates. Don't worry, the nobles of the country have served as the governor for ten years, and many criminals have seen them. Everyone has weaknesses, so you only need to find his weaknesses and prescribe the right medicine. Bazhou Xiangma can definitely be wiped out."

Yang Ling smiled and nodded, suddenly remembered something in his heart, and said solemnly: "The bandits are going to be suppressed. Lord Hua cannot learn from the commander of Zhou De'an of Nabazhou. The horse thieves in Bazhou are not all fierce and stubborn. For Naqi Yanming and Zhang Mao, they are all local gentry, who usually build bridges and roads and donate porridge to study. Although they are suspected of seeking fame and reputation, they are actually loyal to wealth.

Following their thieves, the identity of the arrested person today is usually ordinary people, so why do they become thieves? Although there are their own reasons, they are extremely difficult to survive because of oppression by corrupt officials. Now the bandits in Bazhou have fled, corrupt officials have been punished, and the saints have been eliminated. The people can take a breath.

When the horse farms outside the next year and next year, the horse government of Bazhou will be abolished, and the heavy burden on the people will no longer exist. At that time, the pastures can be changed to fertile fields, and commercial and small workshops will be strengthened, and the weather will be renewed. When the people have a way out, they will naturally no longer make sacrifices. Therefore, these horse thieves will be mainly used to appease.

Now we can only grasp one line of Zhang Mao. If we can successfully appease these loud horses that have exposed their background, they will be lighter in cases and have no bloodshed. As the situation of the people in Bazhou improves, more hidden loud horses will be encouraged to give up for evil and lure them to good."

Hua Tui Guan smiled with understanding and said, "The officials understand that they should use both kindness and power, and use both suppression and pacification. The thieves mainly use large households to loot large households. As long as the owner of the household does not resist fiercely, they rarely kill people. The officials will review them clearly. Those who are less guilty will be given to local supervision and will not be severely punished. Those who continue to commit evil will be arrested and punished severely, and those who surrender will be given lighter.

However, it is difficult to attract a large number of people who surrender on their own. If the people of Bazhou really change their situation and the law deters them, the surrenderers will be slight, then we will be able to let more people who will emerge from the thief. As long as they surrender and fall into the case, there will be a layer of constraints. It will be difficult for them to steal."

Yang Ling smiled admiringly and said, "It's right, that's the truth!"

At this moment, the prison officer hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Guerrilla General Jiang, he...he is looking for a meeting outside the prison."

Yang Ling was stunned: What did Jiang Bin come to ask for a meeting at this time? Could it be that he was pleading for Zhang Mao? He was too brave in such a big case, right?

Yang Ling waved his hand and said, "Please come in!"

The prison officer hurriedly said, "Yes!" and turned around and went out hurriedly.

After a while, Jiang Bin walked in tremblingly, his lips turned purple and his face turned ashen. When he saw Yang Ling, he wailed: "Dude, the last general is here to be punished." As he said that, he pushed Jinshan, poured firewood, and knelt down.

Yang Ling and Promoter Hua were both stunned. Yang Ling was stunned for a while before saying, "Jiang Bin? Lord Jiang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Bin was overjoyed when he heard this. The Duke of the State said that his cousin had not told him about his own affairs. The suffering was not in vain. Jiang Bin immediately replied with remorse: "Duke of the State, the official is guilty. Cousin Zhang Mao secretly became a thief and colluded with the traitor Zhang Zhong. He was not careful for a while and deceived him..."

Although Jiang Bin was rude and ignorant, he was not lacking in scrupulousness. At this time, his actions were half natural and half artificial, and he was not angry. He said the whole thing in a casual manner, making people feel stupid, but instead he felt that this man was straightforward and cute.

Jiang Bin said while peeping at Yang Ling's expression. When he saw him, he was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, and finally he was filled with laughter and crying expressions. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Duke Wei had passed the level. He knew about this and did not blame himself, so no one could regard this matter as his own handle in the future.

At this time, Jiang Bin stopped peeking and lowered his head and said it even more exciting. He had been in the house for so long, and there was a stove next to him, and his body was filled with heat. When he was sad, he was really good at singing and acting.

Yang Ling was indeed angry and funny. When he captured the officials of Bazhou, he made public the news that Zhang Zhong was not dead. At that time, Yuan Biao, the general of Hejian Prefecture, had not come yet. Even if Jiang Bin had not leaked the secret, Zhang Mao would have avoided it because he heard about it. Jiang Bin did not cause any harm. And he played this one today... It was said that he had been accused of guilt. Most of the people in the local area knew about it after reading several books, but they really imitated it... It seemed that they had never heard of it, and it was really difficult for Jiang Bin to do so.

Yang Ling was about to help him up, but suddenly a light of inspiration appeared in his mind and came up with a plan to deal with Zhang Mao. Everyone has weaknesses, what is Zhang Mao’s weakness? He is good at talking about loyalty in the world. This matter can be seen by him, rather than killing people to silence people. Zhang Mao’s captured will not cause a fatal blow to the horse thieves in Bazhou. This disaster may have to be poisoned for many years. If he can find another way...

Thinking of this, Yang Ling slapped the table with a "bang" and shouted angrily: "Jiang Bin, you are so brave!"

Jiang Bin has begun to turn from complaining to singing. He was talking about it and was frightened by Yang Ling's shock: Didn't it be fine just now? Why did he turn against him? "

Yang Ling stood up and pointed at him and said, "At that time, you didn't know that Zhang Mao was a bandit, you should know that he had close contacts with local bureaucrats. This major event of my country's Duke's involvement is a big deal. At the critical moment when I was waiting to be arrested and I was preparing for my own momentum, you almost ruined my country's major event for my own selfishness. I have repeatedly told you to keep a strict secret and not tell anyone that I know, and you are all pretending to be in front of you? Humph!"

Jiang Bin's face turned miserable when he was yelled. The tiger turned into a mouse. He shrank on the ground and said repeatedly: "Don't be angry, I will be the only one who knows the crime! I will be the only one who knows the crime!"

"Since I know that my country's crime is not enough, I will give you a chance to make up for the merits, are you willing?"

Jiang Bin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please give me instructions, Jiang Bin will follow everything."

Yang Ling's eyes flashed with a strange look and he waved: "Get up, come close."
Chapter completed!
