Chapter 1610： Bring out the murder case

Chapter 1610 leads to murder

"Patriarch Chen, is there anything else you want to know about our Zhejiang Army? I know everything except military secrets." Zhu Pingan looked at Chen Dacheng seriously and asked softly.

"Thank you, my lord, there is no problem with the grassroots." Chen Dacheng once again bowed deeply to Zhu Ping'an.

After getting up, Chen Dacheng slowly glanced at the people in the yard, and shouted loudly: "All clansmen, all villagers, our Yiniao Chen family and our Beilei village have been fighting for mines for decades, and we have never been weaker than others in our lives. Hundreds of miles rule the roost! However, every year in our village, there are constant casualties in the battle for mines. At most, nearly a hundred people were killed and injured, and at times there were dozens of people. The deaths were silent and there was no fame; So many people were killed and injured, and several mines were occupied, but it failed to make our Chen family in Yiwu and our Beilei village prosperous. On the contrary, our life was worse than before the mine competition. Enduring the bullying of corrupt officials, now I have to worry about Japanese pirates burning, killing and looting..."

After hearing Chen Dacheng's words, the surrounding villagers in and out of the yard couldn't help feeling sad and full of emotion.

"Nowadays, the government has issued a strict order prohibiting competition for mines. It recognizes existing minerals, and there will be no worries about competing for mines in the future. However, the land in Yiwu is barren, and the mines are also poor. Mining and farming are also very difficult. Besides, nowadays The Japanese plague is becoming more and more serious. This year, two groups of Japanese pirates have invaded my righteous bird. If the Japanese pirates are not eradicated, our fields will be destroyed by the Japanese pirates, our mines will also be occupied by the Japanese pirates, and our folks will also be bullied by the Japanese pirates. !"

Chen Dacheng looked at a group of ethnic people in the township, stretched out his finger to the direction of the sea, and said in a low tone.

All the ethnic groups in the township also look lonely, yes, the poor are poor, the mines are poor, the difficulties are many, and life is not easy.

"Nowadays, Zhu Pingan, deputy envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Procuratorate Division, four senior officials of the imperial court came to my righteous bird to recruit soldiers. They don't think that the people in my Beilei village are poor and humble. They come to my Beilei village and invite them personally. , This is the adults who appreciate and praise us, this is the face for us. The Zhejiang Army is different from the guards and soldiers. They can fight bravely, have strict military discipline, and are trustworthy. If you enroll in the Zhejiang Army, you will be paid one and a half taels of silver every month , Excellent performance appraisal, and extra bounty, killing a Japanese pirate for thirty taels of silver, in the future, beating the Japanese for meritorious service can be promoted to a military officer, if you succeed, you will win a great future to seal your wife and son, and if you fail, it is also great for the country and the people Heroes can't be famous in history, but they can also be famous in our county annals."

Speaking of this, Chen Dacheng faced the crowd, waved his right hand vigorously forward, and said impassionedly, "So, my descendants of the Chen family and the villagers of my Beilei Village, who have reached the age of eighteen, have brothers to support their parents, and are in good health , Go to Yiwu County early tomorrow morning to sign up for the army! As for whether you can be selected, it depends on your own ability!"

"Follow the patriarch's orders!"

After Chen Dacheng spoke, a group of villagers and clansmen responded one after another, all of them were very excited.

In fact, after seeing the mine management notice and the recruitment notice, many of them wanted to sign up. The Zhejiang Army paid well, and they were not military households. It was just the patriarch's words that no one was allowed to sign up to join the army, so they did it alone. I didn't go, but now the patriarch has spoken, agreeing and encouraging them to sign up, how can we not be excited.

Zhu Ping'an, Liu Dadao and others couldn't help smiling when they saw the enthusiasm of the Chen clan and Beilei villagers.

"Patriarch, do you really agree with us to sign up?" A villager was worried and confirmed again.

"Nonsense, tomorrow, I will see who is qualified but does not sign up, and I will interrupt you when I turn around."

Chen Dacheng couldn't help laughing and cursing.

"Hehehe" the villager smirked, and his chest thumped, "The tribe has spoken, so we must all go tomorrow."

"A man was born in heaven and earth. If he doesn't do a big business, it will be in vain. If my brother is still squatting in prison and no one takes care of my parents, I will be the first to go to the county to apply tomorrow!"

Chen Dacheng sighed regretfully, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and said lonely.

Um?

Zhu Pingan couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. Chen Dacheng agreed that the members of the Chen clan and Beilei villagers should sign up to join the army, which is already a good start. However, if Chen Dacheng can take the lead in signing up to join the army, with Chen Dacheng's influence, It must be able to greatly stimulate and encourage the entire Yiwu County to sign up.

If there is an opportunity for Chen Dacheng to take the lead in signing up for the army, Zhu Pingan naturally does not want to miss it.

"Patriarch Chen, just now you said that your brother is squatting in prison. I don't know what your brother has committed and is in prison?"

Zhu Ping'an asked Chen Dacheng, wanting to find out about the situation and see if there is any other hidden story.

Of course, Zhu Ping'an will definitely not bend the law for personal gain in order to get Chen Dacheng to enroll in the army.

"My brother did nothing wrong." Chen Dacheng said firmly.

"Prisoned in prison without committing a crime?" Zhu Pingan looked at Chen Dacheng suspiciously, Zhao Zhixian didn't look like someone who abused lynching.

"My brother is innocent. He was tortured by the yamen and turned into a murderer." When Chen Dacheng mentioned his brother, he couldn't help becoming emotional. "My brother is a well-known nerd in our Beilei Village. He is a frail scholar. He has no strength to restrain a chicken, except reading books to fight against, that is, the fields cannot be plowed, the mines cannot be dug, and he is kind, and he is not willing to trample an ant to death on weekdays, so how can he kill his sister-in-law with his head?"

"That's right, we are very familiar with Chen Erlang. Chen Erlang didn't even dare to watch us compete for mines. How could he dare to kill his wife?"

"That's right, Chen Erlang is famous for his love for his wife. He is reluctant to scold his daughter-in-law on weekdays, so how could he be willing to kill his daughter-in-law? Besides, the husband and wife rarely quarrel and quarrel. I have never heard of it, how could someone kill his wife for no reason, there must be grievances in it."

"That's right, I saw Chen Erlang taking his wife to the temple fair the day before. They were talking and laughing all the way. They couldn't love each other. The next day, Chen Erlang killed his wife?! He even took his wife's head off. It's not in line with common sense at all. Besides, Chen Erlang is very weak, and he might not be able to beat his wife. If he kills his wife, how can it be silent? Why didn't the neighbors hear any movement?"

The villagers in the yard couldn't help expressing their opinions even after Chen Dacheng fell behind. People felt that Chen Erlang was wronged and innocent, and raised the reasons for their doubts.

Um? !

Chen Erlang killed his wife and took off his daughter-in-law's head? !

After hearing what Chen Dacheng and the onlookers said, Zhu Pingan immediately understood the reason why Chen Erlang was in prison, and he also roughly understood why Chen Dacheng and Zhao Zhi County were at odds because of Chen Erlang's murder of his wife.
