Chapter 1188 Impossible

"Impossible," Bai Shan said, "All the military households are in the register. Since you said that he brought his mother with him, it cannot be a deserter. Otherwise, if he returns to his hometown, it is impossible for the governor to not know that if he takes in the deserter and fails to report it, he will be arrested. Sitting together."

"I'm about to die, what am I lying to you for?" Ba Pu said angrily, "When he came back, he was carrying armor. I used to be a soldier, and I knew it by touching it."

Bai Shan looked at him and asked, "Are you the deserter?"

Babo:  …

He lowered his head and took a savage bite of the chicken, "I'm going to die anyway, so there's nothing to hide. Yes, I'm a deserter, and since I escaped, I didn't dare to go home again, I just lived by stealing."

Bai Shan still frowned, feeling unreasonable, "How dare deserters go back to their hometown? Most of them are wandering around like you. Maybe they will change their identities when they have money, but they never dare to return to their hometown in an open and honest way. Neighbors will be convicted."

Ba Pu himself is a deserter. Of course he knows this, so he frowned, but he let go quickly, and said indifferently, "I don't need to lie to you. If he wasn't a deserter, why would he have armor at home?"

He said: "He's all about it, his hands and feet are not broken, and he's young, it's impossible to retire."

Bai Shan pondered for a moment, "Maozhou Qijia Village?"

Ba Pu ignored him and continued to eat the chicken.

Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other. The magistrate Tang said that there must be demons when things go wrong, and that's what it says in the book.

Man Bao asked, "Are you familiar with Maozhou? Why did you flee to Maozhou?"

"I'm not very familiar with Yizhou and Mianzhou," Ba Pu said, "I'm from Mianzhou, my hometown, but I dare not run back for fear of being recognized by acquaintances. As for me, I usually go shopping in Yizhou. I went shopping and found some money bags to spend, but I had a hard time in Yizhou for the past two years. The new county magistrate was very ruthless. I was investigated several times as soon as I succeeded. In the end, I couldn’t do anything, so I ran away. "

In fact, Ba Pu had escaped from military service for many years, and he had a better life in between, but when he was saving money to return to his hometown to change his identity, the Qianwei Weir burst and the price of food skyrocketed. To spend.

The floods were over, and when he first arrived in Yizhou City, his life quickly recovered. Although there were few people in Yizhou City at that time, wealthy families began to return.

He stole a lot of money.

However, after the magistrate Tang took office, his life was not easy. The defense in the city was much stricter. Several times, the magistrate Tang found a place to live. He had no choice but to hide in Tibet and finally had to leave Yi State City.

Ba Bo didn't hide it, but he boasted more about the things he had stolen, "Just leave Yizhou, things in Maozhou are quite easy to steal, I stole a box from a family's house. It's a pity that it's not easy to shoot. When I went to the pawnshop, I happened to bump into someone from their family, and one of them was stabbed inadvertently, and it took a lot of effort to escape."

"Do you know how big the movement was? Seventy or eighty people arrested me, and I finally escaped after running into the mountains."

Bai Shan didn't believe it, "Seventy or eighty people can't catch you when you're injured?"

Man Bao said: "Blood from the wound, can you find you just by following the blood?"

Ba Bo said to himself: "That is God bless me, they chased me into the mountain and stopped chasing me."

Bai Shan said, "Then you arrived at Qijia Village?"

"That's right," Ba Pu said with a sigh, "Actually, I'm not a wicked person. Old lady Ban saved me. I originally planned to give her a jade bracelet that I brought out, but her son came back from outside with mine in his hand. Wanted portrait, as soon as I touched his bag, I knew it was armor, the wound on my stomach is still not healed, I will definitely not be able to beat him..."

Bai Shan and Man Bao were still contemplating, but Ba Pu simply held the glass and poured a glass of wine to the side, and said ramble: "Brother, if you listen to me, you should not see me, and I should not know who you are. Deserters, everyone will go their separate ways, and there will be no such thing as today."

"You don't listen, and you have to arrest me to get the bounty. Didn't I kill you when I had no choice..."

Bai Shan's face suddenly became solemn, and he interrupted, "Then are you familiar with Qijia Village? Do you think there are any deserters in that village besides the son of the old woman?"

Ba Pu rolled his eyes angrily and said: "You are a big radish when you are a deserter, you are everywhere. If I meet one, I have already fallen blood mold, and I ran for my life. If you don't go out much, what if someone sees your face?"

Bai Shan looked at Ba Bodao seriously: "If you don't go out during the day, you always go out to take a look at it at night, right? As a thief, how can you be unfamiliar with the environment you are in?"

"Hey, Xiao Langjun is quite familiar," Ba Pu said with a smile: "That's right, I did go out at night, but I didn't see anyone."

"Do you think their village is different?"

Ba Bo finally felt that something was wrong. He leaned over to look at Bai Shan and asked, "Why, do you think there is something wrong with their village?"

His eyes lit up and he grabbed the railing, "Does that mean I don't have to die?"

Bai Shan said indifferently: "Didn't Master Xu say that you also killed an official who arrested you, do you think you can survive?"

When Ba Pu heard this, he was discouraged, but he had nothing to hide from Bai Shan. He waved his hand indifferently and said, "What difference can it make? Except that their village is richer, there is no difference."

"How do you know that their village is rich?"

"Of course I know," Ba Bo said, "There are many people who turn on the lights at night, and there are many people who have dogs. At first glance, they are rich people."

Not everyone can afford to light oil lamps. The old Zhou family is so rich now that the old Zhou is not willing to light oil lamps at night.

And when you are poor, you can count the number of times the oil lamps are lit all year round with a slap, so many people in the village turn on the lights, which means that the village is very rich.

The female prisoner who had been silent for a while suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Qijia Village has no money."

Bai Shan and Man Bao looked back at her together, "How do you know?"

"Oh, the one she escorted to Beijing with me is from Maozhou." Ba Pu replied.

Bai Shan's eyes lit up when he looked at her, but the female prisoner didn't hide it, and said, "I have an aunt who was married in Qijia Village. Because their village is in the mountains, it is notoriously poor. money."

Ba Pu sneered and said, "Without money, their village can light oil lamps and keep dogs, but the house is still built with half-stone?"

The female prisoner did not speak again.

Bai Shan then pulled Man Bao to bow to the female prisoner and said, "Thank you very much."

He said to the two of them, "Eat slowly, we'll see you in a few days, and Man Bao and I will leave first if we have something to do."

After all, he pulled the full treasure and left.

Man Bao asked him, "What happened to you?"

Bai Shan pulled her into the carriage and then whispered: "I suddenly remembered that iron ore booklet, in which there were several written with the word "Qi", I used to be the surname of the person who carried the iron, but Listening to what Babo said today, it may be the meaning of Qijia Village, the place where iron wares go.”

"What if we guessed wrong?"

"What about him," Bai Shan said, "Tell Magistrate Tang and Magistrate Yang to check it out. What if they find out?"

Man Bao thought about it too.

I wish the book friend "Si Qinglan Yu" good health, happy every day, and get rid of the single this year.

Now is the time of the epidemic, Lan Yu must still be working overtime in the hospital now, pay attention to your health and safety

See you tomorrow
