[Red Mansion] Reborn Lin Ruhai

All the yamen in central Beijing are busy, there is no other reason, all because the emperor issued a secret decree to arrest and bring to justice the group of people who often commit crimes in the market in central Beijing within three days.Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate gave a rough quota, most of these gangsters are rascals. Their families either sleep in flowers, sleep in willows, or drink and gamble. They are almost scattered in various brothels and casinos in central Beijing. It is naturally more troublesome to assign government servants to search everywhere, but three days is enough.

Officials have their own principles and methods to catch thieves, especially the experienced officials in the yamen, who can tell which are law-abiding people and which are villains who do evil on weekdays with just one glance.And these villains are also good at dealing with official servants, they mostly give some money to the yamen servants, if there is no important business, those official servants are happy to earn some money, so they just turn a blind eye.

But now the imperial decree ordered to catch the thieves, and there were many guards patrolling and monitoring them. Even if they had the guts of a leopard, they did not dare to disregard the imperial order, and each of them worked hard.In just two days, those scoundrels who have been in Beijing all year round, those who pay heavy interest in debts, and some criminals who have committed crimes have all been brought to justice.In the dens of many thieves, many stolen evidence were found, mostly treasures, hairpin rings, hairpins, purses and the like.The procuratorate didn't dare to deal with it privately, so it was submitted to the report, and the emperor simply and clearly approved the four characters "return the owner".

The procuratorate didn't dare to delay, so when they returned to the Yamen, they ordered a list of all the stolen goods to be written and posted outside the Yamen, ordering the owner to claim it.

All the thieves caught this time were severely punished, as for the one who abducted Daiyu, let alone beheaded directly.Xiao Zhelin gritted his teeth with hatred, if he was not afraid that Lin Ruhai would misunderstand him as cruel and heartless, he would have to cut that man into pieces!But even so, he couldn't let the thief relax, he was the one who gave the cell a good treat.Hmph, he won't let anyone who dares to hurt Ruhai, Yu'er, their father and daughter!

The man's name was Wang Huzi, and he was originally a rogue householder. After careful investigation, he did more than one crime.Not to mention thieves and thieves, there are countless incidents of abducting boys, girls and children. There are even several murder cases. The most frenzied case is the murder of five people and the destruction of corpses three years ago.

He gambled and gambled all the year round, wiped out his family's wealth, and borrowed heavily from interest rates to pay back his capital. He didn't want to gamble more and lose more.Most of the people who pay high interest rates are powerful and not easy to provoke, and they press to pay back the money, so he has no choice but to do this thing of theft.At first, he was a little restrained, but since he got drunk a few years ago, he became vicious and daring, and killed a few businessmen in the past, he became more and more fearless, and dared to do anything.

Three years ago, a group of merchants from the Huaiyang region in the south went to the capital to sell goods. When the inn was full, they negotiated to spend the night with a nearby family. It was expected that the stay would not be for nothing, so it was not unreasonable to give the family some money. of.I don't want to, the people who live next to this are not ordinary people, but Zhang Huzi's family.That Huzi has always been doing some stealthy things, seeing those people pretending to be traveling, he knows that they have some extra money, and he has been greedy for a long time, so how can there be no reason to disapprove?So he hurriedly greeted and stayed there, and secretly took the medicine when the tea was delivered in the evening.

The merchants didn't know that after eating the glutinous rice, they all fell asleep like dead pigs, unconscious.

Zhang Huzi confiscated all their money, soft and valuables, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, fearing that those merchants would wake up the next day and refuse to obey, if they make a fuss to the government, wouldn't it just cause trouble?Fortunately, they are all foreigners, they came to Beijing alone, traveled thousands of miles, without any relatives, friends or relatives around them, even if they disappeared for a while, no one asked them.He simply did nothing and kept killing people, and the body was buried under the plane tree in the yard.

Although this matter is concealed, it is said that there is no impenetrable wall in the world.A neighbor saw Zhang Huzi burying something quietly at night, and he was a little suspicious. He didn't see the passing businessmen the next day, and he had already expected it in his heart.It's just because of the notoriety of the thief, besides, he has many accomplices, so he dare not offend them and report to the officials.This time all the thieves had already subdued the law, and Zhang Huzi was also sentenced to beheaded. The neighbor lost his scruples and told the government about his previous doubts.

The government immediately sent people to search Zhang Huzi's house, and found five corpses from under the plane tree.

Xiao Zhelin's first thought after hearing this was that this person really did a lot of evil, and it would be an advantage if he didn't quarter his body and execute him Ling Chi.

It turned out that Zhang Huzi wandered the streets when he had nothing to do, and abduction and trafficking of young children has become commonplace.Later, I got to know quite a few accomplices. The group drank and had nothing to do, and when they were unhappy, they caught someone and played tricks on the street. They did all sorts of evil.Due to the large number of thieves, they gradually formed a group. Ordinary people can't afford to provoke them. Even if they know their details, they don't dare to say anything. They just take care of their own things and guard their children in private. .

Furthermore, there is another point, which is called "rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest". Those who know his details are mostly old neighbors and old neighbors for many years.Left and right have nothing to do with them, why bother to provoke right and wrong, if not, they will invite thieves to retaliate, if they even get involved with themselves, it will be too late to regret!

The sons and daughters of various officials in central Beijing travel in a very ostentatious way, and their clothes are also extraordinary, at least they all wear official satin clothes.These thieves usually hang out in joint ventures and specialize in this kind of business, so they understand this truth clearly. When they attack, they avoid people who can be seen as powerful and powerful, and only pick those well-dressed businessmen.

The thief saw that although Daiyu and the two were covered with brocade, they were not for upper or official use, and they could be bought in ordinary shops, so they didn't pay attention, and thought they were businessmen with some money.I don't want to miss it this time, but put my life in it.It's also self-inflicted, and when the punishments of the thieves were posted, the people in the capital clapped their hands and cheered.Some who had been bullied by them even knelt directly in front of the yamen, shouting: "Thank you, Mr. Qingtian, for eliminating harm for the people!"

Among them was an old man with gray hair, tightly clutching a purse in his hand, sobbing almost uncontrollably.

He is now over sixty years old, and his mother is still alive. Although he is not rich, he is also a family with no worries about food and clothing.I don't want to suddenly get sick a few months ago and have difficulty eating. I consulted a doctor for medicine, and my money was like water. Within three months, I almost used up all the money in the family, but there was still no improvement.Fortunately, a neighbor introduced a doctor a month ago, and the condition was greatly relieved after only a few needles, but the medicine was more expensive.But no matter how expensive it is, for the sake of my mother's illness, I have to find a way!

I think he is an old man who is over sixty years old, and he has no big business, and his original savings have been exhausted, so where can he get the money to buy medicine.I have to make up and transfer loans everywhere, begging my grandpa to sue my grandma and begging all my relatives and friends, but there is still a lot of difference.Fortunately, his doctor said that the disease is under control, and it doesn't matter if the medicine is used later, and there is still time to accumulate.

Later, the old man heard that there was a job picking goods in the countryside for a total of one hundred yuan a day, and he and his son had to work hard to pick goods for a month.It was so easy to get enough money, and when I went to the street to grab medicine, I didn't want my purse to be stolen.

When the old man went to the pharmacy, touched his pocket and found that the purse was gone, he immediately burst into tears.

Seeing that the little boy in the pharmacy was also sad for a while, but he sighed and sighed with him.

I thought that the money was wasted like this, but I didn't expect it to be back in my hands this time.Holding the heavy silver, the old man couldn't believe it for a long time.He has lived for more than 60 years, and he can be regarded as a man with a long history and a lot of experience. He has only seen officials and masters accepting bribes, and this is the first time he has caught thieves and returned money and stolen goods to ordinary people.At first, people said that the government posted a notice telling the owner to claim the lost things, but he still didn't believe it?

Looking at it, I didn't expect it to be true.

This is really meeting the master Qingtian!The old man fell to his knees and kowtowed a few times.

Some spectators among the crowd, seeing him like this, laughed and said: "Old man, don't call me Lord Qingtian anymore, the one who should be thanking is the current sage. I heard that it was Lord Long Live who issued an imperial decree to catch thieves and take stolen goods." The master of the procuratorate caught the thief, and he didn't dare to be the master after getting the stolen evidence? It was the emperor's order that all the stolen goods should be returned to the owner. If you don't have the money, which master will return it to you? Your old man should kowtow a few more times , Kneel down and thank the Holy Grace!"

Sure enough, the old man kowtowed to the north a few times, laughed a few times, patted the dirt on his knees, and got up.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and someone who didn't know asked: "It's really the Lord Long Live who issued an imperial decree to catch the thief. Don't some ignorant and ignorant person make up a mess?"

A middle-aged man wearing a felt hat said: "Who made it up? It is said that something important was lost in the palace, even the city gate was sealed, and the whole city was searched? Those imperial guards are all wearing strong clothes. Rui, I heard that anyone who behaved a little bit wrongly was shot straight away, and none of the thieves escaped. Why didn’t you know about the big commotion before? Could it be that you’re not in the capital?”

The man rubbed his head and said with a naive smile: "I went out of the city to do something a few days ago, but I didn't see it. Is it really so mysterious?"

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, but the man laughed so embarrassedly that he touched his head in embarrassment.

One person heard what the man in the felt hat said was outrageous, and laughed and scolded: "Don't listen to his nonsense, there are some shadows, but he made it even more unreasonable when he said that. Really, what happened, so fierce?" Everyone laughed. Ying He nodded, and couldn't help laughing for a while, the man continued: "I have seen those guards with my own eyes, although they are a bit mighty and majestic, they are intimidating, but they are all people around the Holy One, and they are all reasonable. Yes, and I don't want to be so arrogant and domineering as some yamen servants, they are well-educated."

Everyone said: "That's right, I saw it too, it's true."

Some said: "I heard that the guards around the Long Live Lord are all from big families. There is no title in the family, and they are at least the children of the first and second-rank Dayuan family. Needless to say, they are upbringing."

"If you want me to say, Lord Long Live is also a saint now..."

While everyone was talking, a few gentlemen came out of the yamen, waved their hands and said, "Let's go, let's go, everyone who has received their things, let's go home!"

Everyone dispersed for a while.

Not far away, among the two people standing there, a burly and handsome man pushed the other man with a detached temperament and a rather refined appearance, and his voice was thick and soft with warmth: "Like the sea, everyone We're gone, let's go too! I'm hungry now that I'm out? The little wontons I ate on the street last time were good, let's try them again!"

Lin Ruhai nodded in agreement.Xiao Zhelin took him to eat the little ravioli at the street stall, and he thought it was good.Although eating on the side of the road may seem unsightly, neither of them is a person who sticks to such trivial matters, so there is no pressure at all.The two of them often ate it when they came out of microservices, although it was very simple, it was a little rough compared to the food they ate every day.But the wonton skin is thin and full of stuffing, and when you bite down, it comes with thick gravy, which is extremely fragrant and gives you endless aftertaste every time.

Thinking of the taste of wontons, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but quicken his pace.Xiao Zhelin smiled, hurriedly followed, and thought to himself while walking: Ruhai has always had a bad appetite, and it is rare to meet something he likes to eat, why don't we bring the big boss who makes wontons to the palace?Just get it to the Lin Mansion!At worst, the cook in the palace has to learn a thing or two, so that in the future, Ruhai can eat whenever he wants.
