Chapter 109 Bounty Gold Hundred Two
Someone spoke, and others also explained.
Now Gu Ming finally understood the reason.
After all, it was the idea of the witch. This witch seemed to be the mountain king and thought that she was too few and not majestic enough.
After accidentally learning that the official silver from Gusu Prefecture would be taken to the capital, Chen Tianlong prepared to rob the official silver.
At first, Chen Tianlong was a little scared, but he did not dare to disobey the orders of the witch. In addition, his greedy nature finally carefully selected more than 30 people to set up ambush and robbed 100,000 taels of official silver.
I thought I was doing it without realizing it.
After the limelight was over, they began to recruit soldiers and expand their cottages.
But the disaster came from the sky, bringing a big and a small, and a fox and three evil stars to break through the mountain village.
The official silver is in the parable, regardless of whether it is hidden very cleverly.
If they hadn't told them themselves, they would have really not found it.
They hid the official silver in a forest hundreds of meters away from the village.
I dug a few large holes to bury the box deeply, and after returning to the soil, I sprinkled with dead branches and rotten leaves, and there was almost no abnormality.
Afterwards, Gu Ming ran to dig up one of them, and sure enough, he saw the box containing the official silver.
Finally, Gu Ming kept the little white fox for the time being and let it stay in the woods to guard Guan Yin. He and Qianxun took more than a dozen bandits headed by Chen Tianlong down the mountain.
He was taken to the nearest town. Gu Ming found the gentry in the town and asked them to send people to find a place to detain the bandits first, and sent a letter to the government office.
Coincidentally, just after making arrangements, I met another acquaintance: Hou San.
This guy also brought a subordinate to Huyue Mountain to search for clues. If he is lucky, he might be able to achieve great success.
But my enemies were narrow and they actually met Gu Ming here.
"Gu Bantuo, what a coincidence!"
When he saw Gu Ming, Hou San was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and went forward to say hello.
Although he didn't want to say hello on his own, there was no way. Although the two were both team leaders, Gu Ming was a Jinyi constable and his status was close to that of a captain. How dare he be negligent?
"Haha, did the head of Hou find a clue?"
"I'm searching... It seems that Gu Banto must have gained something?"
Hou San subconsciously glanced at Qianxun.
I murmured in my heart that I would take a little girl to go out to investigate the case, and I would like to be a wandering place?
At this time, a gentry hurried over and bowed to Gu Ming: "Gu Bantu, everything has been arranged. All the bandits were detained in a cellar, and more than a dozen people were sent to guard them."
"Bandit?" Hou San was stunned and couldn't help asking, "What bandit?"
"This... is also the arrester from the government office?"
"good!"
"So that's the case. These bandits were captured by Gu Banto, and they were said to be from Tianlong Village."
Hou San frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
He had an intuition that these bandits should be related to the silver robbery case, otherwise what would Gu Ming do to catch bandits at this juncture?
So I couldn't help asking: "Gu Bantu, are these bandits..."
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"
But Gu Ming said lightly.
Hou San's face immediately changed, but he didn't dare to have an attack.
"A few arresters, I'll prepare a banquet, and I'll have a few drinks."
Gu Ming cannot stay away now, and he has to wait for the people in the government office here, so he has not rejected it.
Hou San is eager to understand the inside story and will not leave.
During the meal, Hou San asked several times on excuses, but did not get any useful information.
Because Gu Ming never mentioned the official silver issue, these gentry naturally didn't know it.
That night, the chief constable Liu Jin personally led the team and brought more than ten people to Jin Buhuan and rushed to the front.
Another group of people is expected to arrive after dawn.
As soon as they met, Liu Jin hurriedly called Gu Ming aside and asked, "Has the official silver really found?"
"Yes, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes."
As I heard it with my own ears, Liu Jin was both excited and shocked.
"What the hell did you do?"
"Haha, it's just luck. These bandits are hijacking people everywhere. After following them, they touched their den..."
What Gu Ming said was quite relaxed, but Liu Jin didn't sound easy.
How courage and ability does it take to break into a bandit’s nest alone?
Finally, he patted Gu Ming on the shoulder with emotion: "If you find the official silver, you will wait for the imperial court to reward you."
"Thank you, Chief Constable Ji Yan."
"Okay, leave two guards to guard the prisoner, and the others follow this captain up the mountain!"
In the end, Hou San was kept...
When he arrived on the mountain, Gu Ming led a group of people to dig.
The official silver hid in total and found it smoothly according to the secret notes left by the bandits.
Liu Jin counted it and couldn't help but say excitedly: "That's great, so good, all the numbers are right. Gu Ming, you have really made great contributions this time!"
"This captain read you right, it's right to send you out!"
Jin Buhuan said with emotion.
Others who accompanied him also came forward to congratulate him.
You should know that retrieving the lost official silver not only saved the loss of 100,000 taels of silver for the court, but more importantly, it saved the face of the court.
At the same time, it also shocks some villains.
Everyone was happy to find the official silver.
I can't find it back, and I don't say that blood flows like a river, but I don't know how many people will be implicated.
Those who lose their official position will be investigated and investigated.
After the second group of people arrived, the group carried Guanyin down the mountain to guard it first.
Afterwards, the government office sent another escort official and soldiers to accept it and continue to escort the capital.
This time, the government office was moving very quickly, and before sunset, hundreds of officers and soldiers came in a mighty manner.
Several important officials from the government office also arrived, including Ma Zhengxiu and Bi Anning.
Ma Zhengxiu was very happy and praised Gu Ming as soon as he met.
Although Bi Anning also had a smile on his face, he seemed a little stiff. After all, Gu Ming was from Ma Zhengxiu's family.
It is not difficult to imagine that after this incident, Ma Zhengxiu had more bargaining chips than him...
After the official bank handover was completed and the two sides exchanged official documents, Gu Ming and others did not stop and returned overnight.
In just two days, the imperial court's commendation order was delivered.
Reward on merit.
The Gusu Prefecture Office recovered the lost official silver in time, and the relevant officials recorded the merits.
The relevant personnel of the criminal arrest room of Gusu Prefecture recorded their merits respectively.
Among them, Gu Ming was awarded individually.
Remember great achievements, reward a hundred taels of gold and a sword.
If you remember great achievements, let alone a hundred taels of gold, there are some specialties in the sword.
Not only is there light on his face, but there is also a special memory on his sword, which represents a supreme glory and the recognition of the court.
It's somewhat similar to the Shangfang Sword.
In the entire punishment and arrest room, even the three major arresters did not receive this honor, and only the chief arrester Liu Jin had a sword given by the court.
With this sword and the identity of Constable Jinyi, it is no exaggeration to say that Gu Ming's identity is comparable to that of the head of the captain.
Even a little higher in fame.
Of course, Gu Ming would not be satisfied with this. After all, what if he is the chief constable?
After all, it is still a history, not a court official.
Only by entering the Shence Mansion can you have a chance to take off.
