Humane Yongchang

Chapter 25 Killing three birds with one stone

Zhao Si came in with a saber, and when he raised the knife, he was about to cut the cloth belt hanging from his right arm.

Chen Sheng quickly held down the saber and said seriously, "Fourth Uncle, do you believe in your nephew?"

Zhao Si frowned and said displeasedly, "What is Dalang talking about? When did you speak, Fourth Uncle didn't take it to heart?"

Chen Sheng: "If you believe in your nephew, the matter will be handed over to your nephew to keep it to the satisfaction of the fourth uncle!"

Zhao Siliang's thick eyebrows tightened, he pulled Chen Sheng's arm away, and shouted: "What bastard words are you talking about, the uncle in the family is not dead yet, when will it be your turn to come over to our family? !"

Chen Hu, who was about to speak: ...

Chen Sheng persistently pressed the raised saber again: "Fourth uncle, you don't have to use a knife to kill, these thieves are not easy, we only smashed their stalls before noon, and they killed them directly at night. You can see that they are not good people!"

"Oh, really?"

Zhao Si gritted his steel teeth and jumped out word by word: "When did the fourth uncle tell you that the fourth uncle is a kind person?"

"Fourth Uncle!"

Chen Sheng frowned: "Nephew knows that you can't contain your anger, and you are indeed angry about this, but it is instinct for a man to be angry, and it is his ability to control anger!"

"You are now leading the troops to kill all those thieves, no problem, the boy also believes that you can definitely do it!"

"But have you ever thought about what happens after you kill someone?"

"Just looking at the series of skilled actions these thieves and Daoists have made after entering Chen County, we know that Chen County is definitely not their first stop!"

"Who knows how many others they have left?"

"And we only entertained husband Chen tonight, and conveyed to the county government that we obey their governance, then turned around and started massacres in Chen county?"

"How will the county government view our Tiger Hall?"

"If the Tiger Hall is gone, what will we do with the uncles and aunts who set up stalls for business in our family?"

"The troubled times are approaching, we managed to pull together such a dark place as the Tiger Hall and leave it to protect the family in the future!"

"Your anger will be buried. In case the world is in chaos tomorrow, and the chaotic army is killed in Chen County, does it mean that you want so many uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in our family to be slaughtered?"

He wasn't angry.

But these words are somewhat ill-considered.

At least the role of the Tiger Hall's team should not be revealed now.

Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, Chen Hu and Zhao Si asked in unison, "What does it mean when the troubled times are coming?"

When Zhao Si questioned, he even put down the saber in his hand.

He is a man who likes to use his hands more than his brains, but he has a great advantage, that is, he respects and listens to people who use their brains.

As soon as Chen Sheng's words came out, he regretted it in his heart.

But the words were out of his mouth, and he couldn't swallow the words he said, so he could only say: "I will elaborate on this matter later, my nephew only said: If the fourth uncle still recognizes me as a nephew, he will hand over this matter to him. If the nephew is here to do it, if it doesn't work out, the fourth uncle wants to kill again, and the nephew will definitely help the fourth uncle sharpen his knife!"

Zhao Si's face was cloudy for a while, and after a while, he threw the saber in his hand heavily to the ground, spread his hands and said: "Since the big man has said this for this sake, if the fourth uncle insists on doing his own thing, it will appear as the fourth uncle. You are less sensible than your nephew... But let's get to the point, no matter how you deal with this matter, as long as you want to do something, you can only come from the fourth uncle, you are still young, and your hands should not be stained with blood!"

When Chen Sheng and Chen Hu heard this, they were both greatly relieved.

The two men silently glanced at a corpse on the ground, and they did not argue with Zhao Si very well. Chen Sheng already had a life on his hands.

"My method is very simple!"

Chen Sheng took the two back to the hall and sat down in the hall. He smiled unhurriedly and said, "As a well-known law-abiding organization in Chen County, our Tiger Hall must firmly support the policies of the county officials and herdsmen. When it comes to this kind of Jiangyang thief who kills people and sells goods without saying a word, you should actively report and cooperate actively, and show my good moral character of being public and law-abiding."

"If these thieves are innocent, then we have the right to ask the county government to help us investigate the case!"

"Let's not kill the wrong person and let go of the real killer behind the scenes!"

"If there is really a problem with these thieves, then let the county government help us bear the first wave of these thieves!"

"In my opinion, if this is really what these thieves did, I'm afraid these people are not easy people, and they should not be able to take them down with mediocre officials and soldiers!"

"Of course, if the county government catches these thieves in one wave, it will save us a lot of hands and feet. At that time, if you spend a little money, you can let the fourth uncle go to the county prison and concoct these thieves to your heart's content. Get rid of the hatred!"

"But if the county government can't hold these thieves, then our Tiger Hall will kill them again to help the county catch these thieves!"

"Come on, avenge the fourth uncle!"

"Secondly, I will use this to further convey the attitude of my Tiger Hall to obey the law and obey the law to the lords of the county government."

"Three times, let officials and county soldiers go to the front station to avoid direct conflict between my Tiger Hall and those thieves, and reduce casualties!"

He picked up the kettle in the hall, poured out two bowls of honey water, and handed it to Chen Hu and Zhao Si with a smile: "Three birds with one stone, how can our family make money!"

The two took the water bowl that Chen Sheng handed over and glanced at each other scratching their heads.

Zhao Si: Brother Erhu, is this little yin goods really from our family?

Chen Hu: I don't believe it either, but he really is our family's kind...

Zhao Si: The more you look, the less you look like it!
Seeing these two old guys looking at each other, Chen Sheng thought that something went wrong in his plan, and asked curiously, "Why, you two have different opinions?"

"No, no opinion!"

The two shook their heads and said in unison!
"Then this is settled!"

Chen Sheng made a final decision: "Tomorrow morning, the fourth uncle will send someone to carry the two corpses to the reporter at the Beishi Pavilion... It is best to find two witnesses who are present today and get up together!"

"After reporting to the official, directly ask Bei Shi Ting to dispatch the pavilion servants to investigate those thieves and Taoists!"

"By the way, tomorrow morning, the fourth uncle will send more people to go to the Sichengmen to stand guard, and beware of these thieves and Taoists smearing oil on the soles of their feet."

Chen Hu pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "Dalang, your method is very good, but have you ever thought about it, what if nothing is found after Tingjian goes? It's impossible for those thieves to fail. For the brains, after the ambush tonight, do you still know how to destroy the criminal evidence and wait for us to come to the door stupidly?"

Chen Sheng smiled and said, "It's not that simple? When I report to the official tomorrow, let's give Chen Fu some money, so that no matter if he finds any evidence of the crime, he will definitely tie those thieves back to the Beishi Pavilion for temporary custody!"

"After all, this is a major case of street murder, and there are corpses and witnesses as evidence. It's not difficult for Chen Fu to arrest a few people and go back to investigate, right?"

Chen Hu nodded without thinking: "It's not difficult!"

"This is enough!"

Chen Shengyi clapped his hands and said, "If this is really what this group of thieves did, then how fierce and violent are these people? It is often said that being a thief has a guilty conscience. Live and cooperate with Bei Shiting's investigation, but once Bei Shiting wants to arrest someone, I don't believe they can hold back!"

"They are foreigners after all. When they encounter this kind of battle, they always feel that the officials will favor the locals..."

Both Chen Hu and Zhao Si used to be characters who traveled south and north. They knew nothing about the thoughts of people when they were wandering outside. Now that Chen Sheng had even taken this into consideration, he was really speechless.

Chen Hu gave him a thumbs up: "I have been wandering around for half my life, and I have never seen anyone more sinister than you!"

Seeing this, Zhao Si quickly gave a thumbs up and nodded his head: "Yes, the fourth uncle has never seen anyone more sinister than Dalang!"

Chen Sheng:  …

Insidious, is it a compliment?
