Chapter 366: Evil people block the way
Officials were here, and another murder occurred.
The caravan originally wanted to leave a small number of people to take charge of this matter, while the others continued on their way, but a group of villagers blocking the way refused to let them go.
"Madam, what should I do?"
Qin Qi asked Song Jin in a low voice, "The deceased was still alive. His death had nothing to do with the caravan, but the people who stood in the way insisted that the caravan killed him."
"Obviously framed?"
This technique is crude unless otherwise intended.
Qin Qi added: "Lou Ruhan said that he suspected that Guanzhu was pretending, and he was asking people to test him."
Song Jin asked: "Are they coming for me again? I don''t know what traps are waiting ahead."
"These people are determined not to give up until they reach the Yellow River. They are really difficult to deal with."
Qin Qi felt solemn.
It''s not easy to get here. Just as he was about to reach the capital, something happened here again.
Qin Qi looked around and said, "Madam, there is no village in front of here and no store in back. If you don''t enter the city before dark, you will have to sleep in the countryside at night."
"I understand." Song Jin''s face was condensed.
Waited a while longer.
Lou Ruhan came over and brought some bad news.
The official is a real official. It is said that he came here specifically to stay after receiving a report.
Song Jin said: "How to say?"
"The official said he was only responsible for arresting people, and it was the county magistrate''s responsibility to judge the case." This statement sounds reasonable at first, but it cannot stand up to scrutiny.
Song Jin immediately made a decision: "We, a group of people, will go ahead and enter the city before dark. If we don''t enter the city today, we will be in constant fear the next day."
Today''s case is not difficult to investigate.
The opponent''s plan is full of flaws, and the caravan can find out by going to the Yamen.
Lou Ruhan led people forward to clear the way.
When the official was about to ask, Lou Ruhan directly reported his name, "We are escorting the family members of Qin Shaoqing of Dali Temple to Beijing, and we happen to be passing through here. Can you please make way? If we continue to delay like this, we may not be able to enter the city in time before the city gate closes." "
Officials'' families passed by.
There is no reason for these people to be in the way.
Normally, common people and officials will be afraid of noble people. However, it is not normal for these people to appear here today.
A man among the villagers stood up, pointed at the people who had been wrongly accused of killing people, and asked angrily, "Aren''t you with the murderer? How can you let them leave?"
Lou Ruhan looked at the man with sharp eyes.
No matter how disguised the man was, Lou Ruhan still recognized something was wrong at a glance, and immediately said: "Catch him!"
"yes!"
The brother next to him responded loudly and captured the man without hesitation.
The man wanted to resist, but he restrained himself in the middle. The two men held him captive, shouting like ordinary villagers in a panic, "What are you going to do? Are you going to frame good people? Or do you want to kill people and silence them? Come on, come on. Man, the murderer is going to kill someone and silence him."
The villagers on the side wanted to help.
And timid.
When they hesitated, the man had been **** by Lou Ruhan''s people, and Saburo ran to search him.
A money bag, a dagger, several concealed weapons and a wooden token were found.
Without waiting for the man to defend himself, Saburo said loudly: "You guys, this man actually has a dagger and a hidden weapon hidden on his body. It''s really suspicious. He can''t be a bandit pretending to be a bandit."
Lou Ruhan secretly praised Sanlang''s cleverness and immediately agreed: "Yes, if I remember correctly, the nearby villages are at least ten miles away from here. Would normal villagers come here to block the road?"
Several officials looked at each other.
One of them looked at the tied man with a stern look, and then quickly avoided it. The faces of these villagers were sad, and most of them were sallow and thin. Some of them were holding hoes and other objects in their hands, their eyes evasive, and they were obviously afraid and refused to give way.
There was an old man''s body in the middle of the official road.
He just died not long ago.
Lou Ruhan handed the tied people over to an official, "Master, it is a great achievement to capture these bandits back to the Yamen."
"We are not bandits! We are good people, good people!" a villager said loudly with a stern expression.
One person shouted, and the others followed suit, as if this would make them bolder.
Lou Ruhan shouted: "Give way!"
"No! No, you are in the same group!"
Some villagers shouted tremblingly, their eyes were red, their feet were shaking, and they kept holding up the hoe.
Lou Ruhan did not expect that the villagers would still refuse to leave after being exposed.
Song Jin, who was paying attention to the movements here, also noticed something unusual.

Sanlang approached Song Jin and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, those villagers are obviously afraid of us, why don''t you get out of the way?"
"Either it''s profitable, or it''s threatened. There''s a reason why we have to stay here." Song Jin thought about the possibilities behind it.
It will be very detrimental to them if they continue to dilly-dally like this. If you stay in the countryside at night, a lot of things may happen.
Song Jin suddenly ordered: "Ah Qi, take advantage of them when they are not prepared, knock them unconscious and tie them up, as long as no one is killed. Remember to search them carefully and don''t give them a chance to kill themselves. Also, pay attention to those few Officials may have their accomplices among them.”
"yes!"
Qin Qi immediately responded.
Immediately she led people over quietly.
Half an hour later, people were lying on the ground on the official road.
Everyone began to search him skillfully.
Small packets of poison were found on the villagers.
Sanlang almost scolded his mother when he saw it, "Who is so vicious that he plans to use his life to frame us?"
"Collect the things here. Fortunately, our boss asked us to start first, otherwise they will be in big trouble when they take care of themselves." Lou Ruhan placed the collected things one by one in front of several bound officials. "A few of you and the villagers are A group of people, here to blackmail people?"
"No we don''t, we''re not."
No matter how stupid the officer leading the team was, he still noticed something was wrong.
Lou Ruhan asked: "How did you know that there would be a murder here?"
"That''s what he said."
The officers all pointed at the colleague with a sly look on their side.
The officer who was pointed out felt guilty and defended, "I also heard someone come to report the crime! I was also deceived..."
Lou Ruhan searched the officer without saying a word. He just discovered that this man and the shouting man were flirting with each other. At first glance, they were not good friends.
After a body search, no poison was found, but a banknote worth one hundred taels was found.
Lou Ruhan asked angrily: "Is a servant so rich?"
"No, no money."
The officer leading the team smiled bitterly and said, "Young hero, I hope you can be a little more generous. When we get to the Yamen, I will report the truth to you."
"It''s easy to talk about."
Lou Ruhan responded a few words while untying him, "You can live a comfortable life, and no one wants to ask for trouble, right?"
"Which is which."
Officials responded one after another.
