Pirate Song

After Xing Baotou and others heard what Gao Huaiyuan said, the group of people suddenly felt a little embarrassed and nodded one after another: "Gao County Lieutenant is really thoughtful, why didn't we think of going to Goulan brothel to investigate?

Damn it! What Young Master Gao said today really woke us up!"

"Gao County Lieutenant, I will take my brothers to investigate. If this guy has such a hobby, he will definitely leave some clues! Damn it! My stupid head! Why didn't I think of that?" Xing

The catcher patted his head and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Brothers, there is no need to underestimate yourselves so much. In fact, you have done a lot of things. Otherwise, I would not have been able to see some clues in these case files. What's more, is it what I thought?

The jury is still out, so please don’t flatter me yet! But please be careful, this matter needs to be investigated in a more secretive manner, and don’t jump into the trap and alert the snake! If anything is discovered, keep an eye on the suspect first and investigate secretly.

After knowing their identities, we will find a way to take action before it is too late! To deal with such murderers, we cannot rely on personal bravery! Everyone, be careful and come back to me immediately if you have any news!" Gao Huaiyuan told everyone.

After Gao Huaiyuan arranged this matter, Capt.

I also visited the brothels frequently, so I was very familiar with this job. While visiting the brothels and investigating the case, I responded to their wishes and was very busy.

To investigate such a case, Gao Huaiyuan naturally did not need to go to the brothel personally. He began to arrange other things, which was to find Guo Liang and start to reorganize the archers of Daye County. According to the regulations of the Song Dynasty, each county could

It has a certain number of standing archers, also known as rural soldiers. The general county quota is about 20 to 50 people. They are led by the county captain for training. As the armed force of the county government, they can deal with some arrests of bandits.

It is also a supplement to the capture house.

When necessary, these people are still the defensive force of the county. They are regarded as a standing armed force controlled by the county government. The archers selected are also drawn from the Dingliang population of each township in the county and enlisted for a period of one year.

Time to rotate.

It turns out that when Wang Xianwei was in office, Daye County originally had fifty archers. The archer team at that time was Zhang Qing. Unfortunately, the year before last, Gao Huaiyuan led the team to serve in front of the army. These fifty archers

Most of the archers also came to the front of the army, and most of them died in the battle at Laohukou. Later, Wang Xianwei himself rushed to Xiangyang and brought the remaining archers to the front of the army. Now

He hasn't come back yet, so the result is that there is no township army in the county now.

After the Chinese New Year, Guo Liang happened to return from the army. Liu Zhixian left Guo Liang in the county government office. At that time, he planned to reorganize the archer team. However, Gao Huaiyuan soon took over as the county captain, and Liu Zhixian simply ignored it.

When it's over, hand Guo Liang over to Gao Huaiyuan.

In such a large Daye County, there are only a few people to maintain public security. It can be imagined that it is just a drop in the bucket. Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan cannot only rely on Xing Baotou and his gang to do these things. In the past, he would not be in charge of politics if he was not in his position.

, Now that I have done this, I have to take care of this matter.

Guo Liang was naturally very happy to be able to work with Gao Huaiyuan again. He promised with high spirits that he would select qualified local warriors for Gao Huaiyuan and train them to become archers.

This matter cannot be done by Gao Huaiyuan alone. It also involves issues such as the household registration and population. Gao Huaiyuan went to Liu Zhixian to discuss the matter. Liu Zhixian was also deeply concerned about the messy situation on the boundaries of Daye County during this period.

He was worried, so he immediately ordered Zhang County Cheng and two supervisors in charge of household registration to count the local population of Daye and help Gao Huaiyuan select suitable village warriors to serve as archers.

These things immediately made several custodians in the county government very busy. Gao Huaiyuan himself also took people to the countryside to inspect the matter. After conducting a census, many problems were found. It turns out that

There is a big discrepancy between the registered household registration and the actual situation. Many farmers who originally owned land have now had their land occupied by some large households in the township. Now the people have long since left their hometowns to find other ways of making a living. The household registration book is basically correct.

The number was not registered, and it was also found out that the Ding population was concealed. In short, after such an investigation, it was found that the original household registration was no longer the current situation, which would have a great impact on the future recruitment of Ding.

This incident also shocked Liu Zhixian County. The household registration management situation in the area under the jurisdiction of his parents in Daye County was so chaotic. Naturally, he, the county magistrate who had been in Daye County for many years, could not absolve himself of the blame, so he immediately issued an order.

The county magistrate and the chief minister went into battle together and began to conduct a census of the status of small households in each township and village.

This matter lasted for nearly several months before the household registration in Daye County was sorted out again, laying a good foundation for the next step of county administration in Daye County. At least through this census, Gao Huaiyuan learned that,

Daye County, such a medium-sized county, had a population of tens of thousands. This aspect also shows the huge population of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Gao Huaiyuan also learned from Ji Xiancheng that a census was conducted in the Southern Song Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Guangzong. The total population of the Southern Song Dynasty should be more than 80 million people. Gao Huaiyuan was stunned for a while, and he recalled a census he had seen before.

A piece of information about the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty said that after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, a large-scale census was conducted, and the population in the country was only more than 10 million. This also included the current population of the Jin Kingdom and Xixia. Calculated in this way

, when the Mongolian army destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, they killed at least more than 70 million Han people. It can be said that there is not even one out of ten. Such a large Han nationality was almost wiped out by the Mongols. Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but feel a wave of panic.

Chilling!

While Gao Huaiyuan was busy doing a population census to understand the number of villagers, Xing Captou also began to get news from the case investigation. When they dispersed to secretly visit the Goulan brothel, they soon received information from several prostitutes in the city.

, learned the news that they had once encountered such a perverted person, who liked to torture women in different ways, and the prostitutes who were in his business became frightened when they mentioned that person.

Capt. Xing also kept an eye out, sorted out the people mentioned by these prostitutes, and went separately to investigate secretly, and finally found three people who had done this.

Two of the people obviously did not meet the characteristics of the people they were tracking. One of them was a dry old man in his fifties. It may be that some kind of function was not perfect, which would lead to psychological abnormality. Although the other was in his thirties, he was mentally ill.

He is a lame man, his family has money, and he is not what they are looking for.

In the end, Mr. Xing and the others set their sights on a man from Huahu Town, north of Daye County. After a secret investigation, they learned everything about this man through his neighbors. He was probably in his thirties.

Years old, he was a widower named Zhang Cheng, a well-known local gangster. His family only had a few acres of thin farmland and no relatives. He idled around all day, either drinking and fighting, or he liked to hook up with some unscrupulous women. He had a bad reputation in the local village.

.

Zhang Cheng's family came from the north in his early years. His father was a soldier, but he died early in the army. Zhang Cheng had learned some kung fu from his father during his lifetime. After his father died, his mother could not control this guy, so he

I married him a wife, but within a year, his wife hanged herself inexplicably. His mother was also angered to death by this guy a few years ago. He also became a widower, and he didn't know how to be diligent and thrifty in managing his family.

Kuai's family was very poor.

Moreover, this guy has also made friends with a group of idle people like him. He has often engaged in sneaky business in the past. After injuring his neighbor two years ago, he ran away for a while. He just came back from outside last year. In the past year, it seems that he has suddenly

He became rich all of a sudden, and I didn't see him doing any business. He suddenly became rich like this.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard the news that Xing Captou and others came back from the investigation, he immediately said: "You sent people to keep an eye on this guy secretly. This person is very suspicious. I think we have found the real owner this time! Don't alert the snake now, let's take a look first.

No matter who this guy associates with, if this guy is one of them, we must catch them all together!"

"I obey my orders!" Xing Baotou and others suddenly became energetic.

Gao Huaiyuan was still worried, because Xing Captou and others were quite conspicuous in the market. They walked around the countryside all day long, and many people knew them, so after thinking about it, he called Guo Liang and came from his home.

Crouching Tiger Village transferred six or seven Zhou Hao and others over. These people rarely walked around the market, so few people knew them. Gao Huaiyuan handed them over to Capt. Xing, this time as Capt. Xing.

The chief's auxiliary force came to help them investigate the case.

Capt. Xing knew that Gao Huaiyuan's group of young men were all very capable, so he did not dare to underestimate them. In addition, Guo Liang followed Gao Huaiyuan to serve in the army. They were all capable people, so he treated them very well.

polite.

This time when Zhou Hao saw Guo Liang, he was naturally overjoyed. Being able to kill enemies together on the battlefield was considered a life-long friendship, and the two were very happy.

Soon they pretended to sneak into the vicinity of Zhuangzi where Zhang Cheng was located in Huahu Town, lurked down, and closely monitored Zhang Cheng.

There was no movement from Zhang Cheng's side for many days in a row. He was just doing nothing all day, drinking in a small restaurant at the head of the village, and then gambling with some idle people in the village. His life was very comfortable, and he didn't show up.

Who does he associate with?

Mr. Xing couldn't help but start to get a little anxious, so he asked Gao Huaiyuan if he had found the wrong person. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with him!

Gao Huaiyuan is not very sure, but he vaguely feels that Zhang Cheng is not that simple. Even if he has nothing to do with these cases, he is probably not a good bird. For such a person, he will not go as far as future generations will.

Give him the presumption of innocence. The way of handling cases in this era is the standard presumption of guilt. Even if you have not committed a crime, if you arrest the wrong person, you can be beaten until you are beaten.

"Don't rush to conclusions. Sometimes you have to be patient when investigating a case. We don't have any other clues about this matter right now. Let's keep an eye on this guy for a few more days. Anyway, according to what you said, this guy is nothing.

A good bird, even if it stays in the world, it will be a disaster, let's see how rich this guy is!" Gao Huaiyuan put down what he was doing and said to Xing Captou.

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, Capt. Xing nodded helplessly and agreed. He leaned down again and continued to monitor Zhang Cheng.

After staring at Zhang Cheng for many days, Zhou Hao and Guo Liang finally sent back a message, saying that Zhang Cheng had started acting a little abnormally in the past two days. He no longer wandered around, but ran to Ao in the east of Daye.

In the area around the village, he was wandering around when he had nothing to do. He actually changed into a pair of tattered clothes and pretended to be a beggar, and ran into the village to beg, but he was not found to be in contact with anyone or secretly communicating with anyone.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately stood up, took off his green official uniform, put on civilian clothes, secretly carried weapons, took Xing Captou and others with him, and left the city towards Zhang Cheng's house.

After it got dark, Gao Huaiyuan arrived outside the village where Zhang Cheng was. A young man from Crouching Tiger Village ran out from the road and caught Gao Huaiyuan.

"Is that guy back now?" Gao Huaiyuan asked immediately.

"Back! That guy came back from Aojiazhuang in the afternoon. As soon as he came back, he went into his yard and didn't come out again. I don't know what this guy was doing!" the young man replied immediately.

"It seems that these cases may really be related to this guy. If my guess is correct, this guy should be waiting for his accomplices to identify the person he wants to murder next! Everyone, keep an eye on me tonight.

, Don’t let the news get out!" Gao Huaiyuan is now basically certain that Zhang Cheng is one of the people who committed several major crimes. It seems that it is time to take action against such a murderer.

After Gao Huaiyuan arrived in Zhang Cheng's village, he took a look at Zhang Cheng's house at night. From a distance, he saw a light in Zhang Cheng's house, and the man was doing something alone in the house.

In order not to alert others, Gao Huaiyuan did not let everyone enter the village. Instead, he dispersed his troops around the village and hid. Not only did he monitor Zhang Cheng's family, but also the entire periphery of the village.

This time, Gao Huaiyuan was lucky again. His many years of experience in handling cases in his previous life helped him a lot. After that night, when there were no traces of people in the village, four strong men came from outside the village. They

He moved very carefully. After wandering around the entrance of the village for a while, he entered the village and quickly got into Zhang Cheng's home.

Captain Xing stood next to Gao Huaiyuan, stretched his neck and looked towards Zhang Cheng's house, and whispered to Gao Huaiyuan: "It seems that Gao County Lieutenant is really an expert. I'm sure this guy is not a good guy. Now his accomplices have come over."

, shall we take action?”

Gao Huaiyuan stood in the grove at the entrance of the village, shook his head slightly and said: "Don't be busy now. You stay here and don't act rashly. I'll sneak into Zhang Cheng's yard first and listen to what they have to say before I say anything. These few people can do anything."

They’re all good, don’t scare them away!”

"Will Gao County Lieutenant go alone? Otherwise, I will accompany you!" Zhang Liang, the catcher under Capt. Xing, who is also a relatively capable man, said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"No, these guys are very alert. I'll go there alone! You guys gather together and listen to the news here. If I inform you, I will immediately surround Zhang Cheng's family and not let anyone go! Wait.

!" Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said, then lowered his head to check the clothes on his body, put the skirt around his waist, and carried the knife on his back. After making sure that there was nothing hanging, he walked out of the woods and quietly entered the village.

After this time, there were no human sounds in the village and it seemed very quiet. Only a dog from a wealthy family at the east end of the village would bark twice from time to time. Gao Huaiyuan stood on tiptoes and entered like a civet cat.

Without alerting anyone in the village, they first found the place where Zhou Hao was hiding.

"Brother is here! They have already gone in, but it is not convenient for us to go in now. They are very vigilant and actually left a person in front of the front yard to guard the door!" Zhou Hao whispered to Gao Huaiyuan and pointed to the front yard gate of Zhang Cheng's house.

.

Gao Huaiyuan really saw a figure moving at the front door of Zhang Cheng's house. Fortunately, he came to see Zhou Hao first. Otherwise, he would have just jumped into the yard and it would have ruined everything!

"It's okay! This guy's yard is not too small. I'll go through the back wall. You greet our Zhuangzi people, and call Guo Liang by the way. Get ready, maybe we will attack tonight! Everyone, be careful, don't get hurt.

We've arrived!" Gao Huaiyuan nodded and ordered Zhou Hao.

"It's brother! I haven't been active for a long time! It's time to practice my skills!" Zhou Hao was now a little more showy. After stretching his waist, he replied with a smile on his face.

Gao Huaiyuan sweated, what kind of people had he cultivated? Now Zhou Hao has become a violent maniac. He will feel itchy all over if he doesn't find someone to attack him every few days!

Gao Huaiyuan nodded to Zhou Hao and said no more. Compared with Xing Captou's gang of captors, he still trusted the tacit understanding between Zhou Hao's gang and himself. He turned around and walked around to the backyard of Zhang Cheng's house.

He jumped up with both legs, stretched out one arm to grab the wall, turned his body slightly, and climbed up the wall silently.

Looking from the wall, there was nothing planted in the yard. It was completely empty. Gao Huaiyuan slid down the wall like a civet cat and fell into the backyard of Zhang Cheng's house. Then he tapped his toes, flew to the back of the house, and put his body

Hidden in the dark shadow under the eaves, it looks like a stone from a distance, attracting no one's attention.

At this time, the voices of several people talking came from the room. Gao Huaiyuan put his ear to the window paper and listened carefully.

"You guys know how to care about women. I have never seen you treat women like a human being! I tell you Zhang Cheng, please restrain yourself from me in the future. If this continues, sooner or later everyone will be harmed by you! This time

You are not allowed to torture and kill women anymore! Just leave the work to me!" A man cursed. dd
