The officers and soldiers followed the blood all the way, and finally saw that the blood disappeared in front of a pile of firewood.
They turned over the pile of firewood and saw no one.
There was a path on the left and right sides. The officers and soldiers decided to divide the soldiers into two ways and chase them in different directions.
For the next three days, the gate of Qiuyang mansion was closed, and the people could neither go out nor come in. They all complained about it, but they didn't dare to say it because of the majesty of the prefect.
The officers and soldiers searched every inch of land in the city, but never found the man who robbed the Dharma field.
A group of officers and soldiers walked through the street and ran to the next place to search and arrest.
In the corner of the street sat two beggars.
One of the beggars broke his right arm. In front of him was a thick porcelain bowl with only half of it. His hair was as messy as a chicken nest and his face was all black and gray.
He looked at the officers and soldiers who ran past in front of him without any reaction.
On the contrary, Jiang Jihe, who was sitting beside him, was so nervous that he trembled.
Jiang Jihe kept staring at the officers and soldiers for fear that the other party would find out that I had hidden the fugitive. Until the officers and soldiers went away, Jiang Jihe was a little relieved.
He used his spare light to steal a glance at the man with broken arms around him and asked carefully, "great Xia, they are all looking for you. Are you sitting here like this, not afraid of being caught by them?"
Manager Hu smiled and said hoarsely, "the most dangerous place is the safest place. They never dreamed of me staying in the street."
Then he touched the small cloth bag beside him.
In the hot weather, Guo Tianyin's head has rotted and smelled after three days, and even maggots have begun to grow. For fear of attracting other people's attention, Hu Guanshi can only burn his head and wrap it in clothes with him.
After another two days, the fugitives were still not caught, but the people in the city were already complaining. Only because the city gate was closed, their normal life was seriously affected.
Nie Zhenqi can only order to reopen the city gate. At the same time, he orders the people under his hand to continue to search and arrest the people who robbed the Dharma field and offer a reward for wanted. As long as he can catch the prisoner, he can get a reward of 100 Liang!
Jiang Jihe saw the reward order. He was greedy for the reward of one hundred Liang.
If he had a hundred Liang, he would no longer have to be a beggar. He could use the money to buy new clothes and eat delicious food for himself. He could even hire a donkey cart to return to his hometown, and he would no longer have to live such a miserable life of no fixed place.
The strong desire for money even made Jiang Jihe temporarily forget his fear of death.
He found an excuse to go to the toilet and temporarily separated from manager Hu.
After walking out of a section of the road and turning two more turns, Jiang Jihe looked back quietly and saw that manager Hu didn't catch up, so he ran wildly.
He soon met a group of officers and soldiers searching for fugitives on the road, rushed up and shouted.
"Officer, I know where the guy who robbed the Dharma court is!"
The officers and soldiers immediately surrounded him and asked him where the prisoner was?
Jiang Jihe said calmly, "first, I'll tell you the whereabouts of the prisoner. Later, you have to give me a reward of one hundred Liang."
The chief officer and soldier said impatiently, "the reward order was signed and issued by the Grand Chancellor himself. Can the Grand Chancellor still spare you a mere one hundred liang of silver? Hurry up, where is the prisoner? "
"You come with me."
Jiang Jihe ran back with the officers and soldiers, and soon ran back to the place where he begged with manager Hu just now.
But the place was empty and there was no sign of manager Hu.
The officers and men thought Jiang Jihe was playing with them, and all stared at him angrily.
Jiang Jihe hurriedly said, "maybe he went back to the broken house."
Then he took the officers and soldiers to Lingyun Street.
In the innermost part of Lingyun Street, there is a dilapidated house that is still deserted. The lock of the gate has long been rusted. Gently pulling the lock, it fell off. Jiang Ji and pushing the door go in, but they see that the dilapidated stockade is empty and can't see people.
He hurried into the room. There was no one in the room. There was only a pile of fire that had been extinguished for a long time and some ragged clothes.
The officers and soldiers checked here.
One of them picked up the broken clothes on the ground and found that the clothes were stained with blood. He quickly showed them to the boss.
Seeing this, Jiang Jihe hurriedly said, "this dress is the fugitive's. When I saw him, he still had a dead man's head in his arms and was covered with blood, which scared me to death."
The officers and soldiers pressed, "since you know he is a fugitive, why didn't you report to the official before?"
Jiang Jihe hurriedly exclaimed, "how dare I? The fugitive is very ferocious. He forces me to find him a place to live and monitors my actions. Once I want to escape, he will kill me. I'm a beggar with no strength to bind chickens. How can I be his opponent? I can only follow him. It's not easy for me to slip away from him until I have a chance today. When I leave his sight, I'll run to report to you immediately. Officer, I have told you all I know. Everything I say is true. If there is a lie, it will break my heart! "
"Where is he now?"
Jiang Jihe said bitterly, "I don't know. He was with me just now. How could he disappear in the blink of an eye? Is it difficult that he found something wrong, so he ran ahead of time? "
The officers and soldiers looked at each other, but it was possible.
However, Jiang Jihe, as an important witness, was taken away by the officers and soldiers.
He was put in prison again.
Looking at the familiar environment around him, he wanted to cry without tears.
It was at the end of last year that he was imprisoned last time. Because he planted and framed others in the government test, he was deprived of his merit and reputation and put in prison, waiting for the fall of the prefect.
But after that, Nie Taishou's wife had children. He focused on his wife and children. He temporarily forgot Jiang Jihe who was locked up in prison, so he let Jiang Jihe stay in prison for a month or so.
When Nie Taishou thought of this man, his baby sons were full moon.
It may be because he has just become a father. Nie Taishou is in a good mood. He is rare to be kind. He just let Jiang Ji and serve corvee for half a year.
Jiang Jihe was sent to dig mountains and build roads for half a year.
By the time he was released, the whole man had lost his shape and was different from before.
He wanted to go home and was afraid to be seen by others in the village. He was a rare scholar in the village. He also had some face in the village. Now he is reduced to this appearance. The villagers must laugh at him.
For the last face, Jiang Jihe chose to stay in Fucheng, but he was penniless and had no possessions. His body became very thin because he worked hard for a long time and didn't have enough to eat and wear. Even the simplest hard work couldn't be done. In the end, he could only become a beggar and survive by begging along the street.
He thought he could return home with a hundred Liang reward, but he didn't expect to find the silver. Instead, he sent himself to prison.
