Chapter 39 It turned out to be him!



Zhao Muyun deduced that this person must have tipped him off when he entered the Bai family shop to look for someone.

Who knew that he did not come to negotiate with Zhao Muyun right away, but instead notified the government first, and then appeared together.

He is quite cunning in his actions!

"Master Ma, how can you arrest people without asking any questions or knowing the right and wrong?" Zhao Muyun was bitten back, so he naturally would not sit still and wait for death.

Of course he recognized this county magistrate.

Three months ago, Shuozhou Prefecture conscripted soldiers to guard the border, and Wuzhou City was of course also assigned.

Before Zhao Muyun went to Jingbian Military Town, he first gathered with the county lieutenant of Wuzhou County Yamen, and then received simple training in the military camp of Wuzhou City before going to the military town.

The county magistrate had to review and sign the list of soldiers assigned to the county. After all, this was one of his duties as the magistrate of a county under the Shuozhou Prefecture, a frontier fortress.

"What? You recognize me? Where are you from?"

County Magistrate Ma immediately ordered his constables to stop.

Mr. Bai, also known as Bai Shouren, the second master of the Bai family in Shuozhou, was stunned.

Three days ago, he received a report from his subordinates in Wuzhou City that Old Huang and his group, who had been missing for ten days, were suspected to have been found in Heituo Mountain.

He led his men to Heituo Mountain without stopping, and found the rotten and worm-infested bodies of Lao Huang and others in a deep pit in a valley.

Judging from their rotten clothes and attire, it was basically confirmed that they were Lao Huang and others.

Judging from the wounds, he died from being stabbed with a knife or shot with an arrow.

However, the 600 kilograms of pig iron and 300 kilograms of coarse salt that Lao Huang and his crew smuggled were nowhere to be found.

Murder and robbery!

Bai Shouren immediately came to a conclusion and deduced that it would take at least ten people to kill all ten of Lao Huang's men.

Since Lao Huang and his friends were not caught, there was no evidence of smuggling.

Although Bai Shouren breathed a sigh of relief, he still couldn't swallow the anger when he thought of the huge loss of 600 kilograms of pig iron, 300 kilograms of coarse salt, and ten lives.

On the way back, I didn't go to Zhong Dahu to tell him about this.

After all, he did it without Zhong Dahu's knowledge, and secretly took the original secret route because he didn't want to give Zhong Dahu any benefits.

The lost salt and iron as well as the compensation for the dead was another large sum of money.

After suffering such a huge loss, Bai Shouren returned to Wuzhou City in a depressed mood.

Before he even reached his shop, he encountered a shop assistant who told him that someone had come to cause trouble for the young master.

After asking carefully, I roughly knew the whole story.

When he thought about the money he had just lost, he would probably have to compensate his son for the trouble he had caused.

Bai Shouren was heartbroken and immediately had an evil idea. He sent someone to notify County Magistrate Ma to bring the constables over.

He knew that County Magistrate Ma wanted to achieve political achievements, and he would be very happy if he caught a kidnapper who kidnapped people in the street.

Who would have thought, after thinking for so long, that this person actually knew Magistrate Ma!

"I'm from Zhaojiazhuang outside Wuzhou City. I enlisted in the army three months ago and am now serving in Jingbian Military Town to guard the border!"

Zhao Muyun showed the badges of the Dayin soldiers.

I was originally going to the county government office to seek justice for my brother, but since County Magistrate Ma came directly here, I will reveal my identity here and ask for an explanation.

"So you're a soldier conscripted from this county, not serving at the border. Why did you come here and commit murder and injury?"

Magistrate Ma did not let his followers go up to check the military badge, and he recognized Zhao Muyun's identity.

After all, no one would risk being beheaded to forge a military license plate.

"I received a letter from home, and learned that my brother was severely injured and is in critical condition!"

"This man is the culprit who injured my brother. I am about to send him to the yamen for trial and seek justice."

"However, he relied on his numbers and brazenly refused to go, which led to some conflicts. Unexpectedly, he was retaliated by the Bai family and accused of kidnapping."

"We fought bravely at the border to defend our country, but our families were bullied by them. I believe that Lord Ma will definitely uphold justice and not let the Dayin soldiers feel disheartened!"

Zhao Muyun made convincing arguments and pushed this matter to a new level of public opinion.

The neighbors who were watching the scene immediately started talking and whispering.

"So they are soldiers guarding the border. No wonder they act so bravely and courageously!"

"Isn't the man he captured the young master of the Bai family who just opened a shop in Wuzhou?"

"This young master of the Bai family has been causing trouble in Wuzhou City for a long time. I heard that he even beat someone to death last month, but he only paid a small amount of compensation and let the matter go. Isn't he too arrogant?"

"Could it be that the government took advantage of the Bai family and is colluding with them?"

"Shh, be gentle, or you'll get caught!"

“…”

Is this man a soldier from Jingbian Military Town, a soldier under Zhong Dahu?

Bai Shouren on the other side frowned deeply, but suddenly his eyes lit up.

He immediately took a closer look at Zhao Muyun, and his whole body was shocked.

oops!

It turns out it was him!

That day, I met him at the gate of Zhong Dahu's command post in Jingbian Military Town.

The person that Timur, the Silver-Armored Captain of Beidi, asked him to investigate!

I didn't expect that I helped the Tartar to find out Zhao Muyun's information, but now I meet him here.

Bai Shouren suddenly remembered Zhong Dahu's warning to him.

Zhao Muyun replaced Zhang Biao and was promoted to the sergeant of Yanqingdun Beacon Tower. Zhong Dahu asked him to transport supplies through Douziling in the future, and not through Heituo Mountain.

Normally, if Zhao Muyun encountered Lao Huang and his gang smuggling while on patrol, the most he should have done was arrest them and bring them back to the military town to report.

However, ten people including Lao Huang were killed and the batch of salt and iron disappeared.

Could it be that Zhao Muyun saw this batch of goods and wanted to keep them for himself, so he took ruthless action against Lao Huang and the others, and then took the goods for himself.
