Nameless Sangokri, a Ye Xiaotian cotton garment, stands , was evacuated in front of the vehicle of cargo, calmly is observing a beach bloodstain on cowl. When he goes to Luo Daheng there, put on is a then robe, heard the news to hurry back to the county administration to bump into on the way caught up to search team leader Zhou one group of case, then directly with. 无名山谷里,叶小天一身布衣,站在一辆被搬空了货物的车子前面,静静地观察着车辕上的一滩血迹。他去罗大亨那儿时,穿的就是一身便袍,闻讯赶回县衙途中就碰到了赶来缉查案件的周班头一行人,便直接跟过来了。 The bloodstain on cowl is dry, one flock of monkshood flies adhere to stick cohere above, some surroundings people take a walk, they startled fly, when a person past is circling again falling. 车辕上的血迹已经干涸,一群乌头苍蝇附着在上面,周围一有人走动,它们就惊飞而起,等人一过去再盘旋着落下。 These thieves also carried off the mule, to transport by pack animal cargo, but the bodies of their companion actually lost at the scene, life such as worthless, the life turned over to worthlessly, mediocre. 那些大盗把骡马也拉走了,想必是为了驮运货物,可他们同伴的尸体却丢在了现场,命如草芥,命归草芥,不过如此。 Zhao Wenyuan looked up front valley entrance, sighed, the sympathy said to Ye Xiaotian: „leaf brother, you also are really unlucky. Just solved the Gao-Li two villages conflict, in booth this matter. So long as this caravan proceeded again ten li (0.5 km) is the Tongren city boundary, but had/left the matter here.” 赵文远抬头看了看前方的谷口,叹了口气,同情地对叶小天道:“叶兄,你还真是倒霉啊。刚刚解决了高李两寨的争端,又摊上这种事。这支商队只要再往前走十里就是铜仁地界了,可偏偏就在这边出了事儿。” The Ye Xiaotian forced smile said: „Bad luck has bad luck, half of life are not hapless.” 叶小天苦笑道:“倒霉就倒霉吧,人生的一半不就是倒霉么。” Zhao Wenyuan asked: „That other half?” 赵文远问道:“那另一半呢？” Ye Xiaotian walks from his side, replied unguardedly: „Solution is hapless.” 叶小天从他身边走过去,信口答道:“解决倒霉呗。” The case of judicial punishment prison was responsible for on this Ye Xiaotian, but this case is big, properly speaking Xu Boyi should also come, but Xu Boyi to fast the excuse that has not recovered long time to refuse to arrive, Ye Xiaotian led the person to come to the scene to prospect alone. 司法刑狱的案子本来就该叶小天负责,但这次案子不小,照理说徐伯夷也该来,但徐伯夷以绝食多日、身体尚未康复的借口拒不到场,叶小天就独自带人来现场勘察了。 As for Zhao relay station deputy, although his irresponsible criminal case, but as relay station deputy, the matter on post road he also has the responsibility coordination to investigate, simultaneously knows the safety condition of post road, helps him strengthen in the relay station is responsible for various business within range, therefore he also arrived at the scene. 至于赵驿丞,虽然他并不负责刑事案件,但是作为驿丞,驿路上的事他也有责任配合调查,同时了解驿路的安全情况,也有助于他加强在驿站负责范围内的各项事务,所以他也来到了现场。 team leader Zhou stands in the roadside, the person who the forward lingering fear has not disappeared is asking the words, Ye Xiaotian arrives at side him, has not made noise to interrupt, but is listening peacefully. Comparing case hearing a case aspect. Others are an expert, at least wants to be clearer than him, Ye Xiaotian never cannot do to pretend to understand to pretend to be the expert matter, saved the face actually to suffer a loss. 周班头站在路边,正向一个余悸未消的人问着话,叶小天走到他身边,并未出声打岔,只是安静地听着。勘案问案方面。人家才是行家,至少比他要明白许多,叶小天从来不干不懂装懂冒充内行的事儿,赚了面子却吃大亏。 team leader Zhou inquired one carefully, nods to that person, that person relaxes, sat the ground, his leg now is weak. 周班头仔细询问一阵,向那人点点头,那人松了口气,一屁股坐到地上,他的腿现在还是瘫软的呢。 This is a cart driver, the cart driver runs into the highway robbery thief, so long as usually does not make the action of resistance. The highway robbery will not injure their, including the waiter, the mountain thieves easily does not injure. This mountain thief has care for all living things actually not, but once killed to fear these people, no one is willing to run again long-distance, whom will they tribulation to go next time? 这是一个车把式,车把式遇到劫路贼,通常只要不作出反抗的举动。劫路贼是不会伤害他们的,包括伙计,山贼们轻易也不加害。这倒不是山贼有好生之德,而是一旦把这些人都杀怕了,没人再肯跑长途,他们下回劫谁去？ team leader Zhou turns head to see Ye Xiaotian to stand, is busy at saluting to say to him: „Sir.” 周班头一扭头看见叶小天站在旁边,忙向他施礼道:“大人。” Ye Xiaotian beckons with the hand saying: „Does not need to stand on ceremony. Did you ascertain?” 叶小天摆摆手道:“不必拘礼。你问清楚了？” team leader Zhou said: „Yes! This person said, they are the waiters of Tongren city county forest Luyao Landlord Lin, traffics a number of silks to return to Tongren city. When goes via here. The opposite motorcade comes exactly, two next in crowd in the same place, so that acts to be slow. At this time on the both sides hillsides many mountain thieves from dug in the good earth pit to leap suddenly beforehand, first by the sharp arrow fire. Subsequently draws a sword, plundered their goods, but also kidnapped Landlord Lin, said that demands the ransom money.” 周班头道:“是！这人说,他们是铜仁县林路尧林员外家的伙计,贩运一批丝绸回铜仁。路经此处时。对面恰有一支车队过来,两下里拥挤在一起,以致行动都缓慢下来。这时两侧山坡上突然有许多山贼从事先挖好的土坑中跃出来,先以利箭射击。继而拔刀冲阵,劫了他们的货,还绑走了林员外,说是索要赎金。” The Ye Xiaotian vision concentrates. Said: „Does front surface come a motorcade? But that motorcade mountain thief partner?” 叶小天目光一凝。道:“迎面又来一支车队？那支车队可是山贼同伙？” team leader Zhou shakes the head saying: „Sir you looks, that two corpses, are the motorcade of coming ride the health/guard.” 周班头摇摇头道:“大人你看,那两具尸体,就是迎面而来的车队骑卫。” Ye Xiaotian looked at one to lie on one's back. In the throat the dead of arrow, deeply inspires saying: „Can investigate thoroughly his status?” 叶小天看了看一个仰面朝天。咽喉中箭的死者,深吸一口气道:“可查清了他的身份？” team leader Zhou said: „humble/despise Zhi has searched carefully, on the dead and nothing can indicate the status east and west.” 周班头道:“卑职已经仔细搜查过,死者身上并没有任何可以表明身份的东西。” „Including ‚’ hasn't had?” “连‘过所’都没有么？” Ye Xiaotian just felt relaxed, immediately reveals the color of doubt. 叶小天刚刚释然,登时又露出狐疑之色。 team leader Zhou said in a low voice: „ Sir, on this post road many smuggled goods, how the smuggled goods possibly have also applied for the institute. Meanwhile, somewhat walks the person who accompanies the bride to her new home visits friends, because takes a walk in nearby several counties, the checkpoint that the government authorities set up are also few, therefore also few applications ‚’. 周班头低声道:“大人,这驿路上也不乏私贩,私贩怎么可能申请过所。同时,有些走送亲访友的人,因为就在附近几县之间走动,官府设立的关卡又少,所以也很少申请‘过所’。 The front surface comes the mountain thief who these person and the both sides ambush once attacked brutally, hacked to death several mountain thieves, their altogether eight knights, are protecting a light car(riage), that side also three corpses are also their, therefore these person of status or suspiciousness, but with the mountain thief should no connection. ” 迎面过来的这些人和两侧埋伏的山贼曾大打出手,砍死了好几个山贼,他们一共有八名骑士,护着一辆轻车,那边还有三具尸体也是他们的,所以这些人身份或者可疑,但是与山贼应该没有什么关联。” Ye Xiaotian nods, said: „Draws the shadow graph these dead, posts a notice the public announcement, has a look whether some people can recognize their identities.” 叶小天点了点头,道:“把这些死者画影图形,张榜公示,看看能否有人认出他们的身份。” team leader Zhou complied with the sound yes, said: „ ‚One dragon (coordinated process)’ this group of mountain thieves, always move in nearby several counties, but they rarely can obtain such big harvest like this time. The Sir you looked, on the both sides hillside these potholes dig beforehand, but after the person of this post road, is very difficult to guarantee is a vehicle, speed that to guard against the mountain thief and picks up to traffic, many merchants are the mule horse caravans that use. 周班头应了声“是”,又道:“‘一条龙’这伙山贼,一向在附近几县活动,不过他们很少能像这次一样获得这么大的收获。大人你看,两侧山坡上那些坑洞都是事先挖好的,而经过这条驿路的人,很难保证过的都是车子,为了防范山贼以及加快贩运的速度,很多商人都是用的骡马帮。 Even if such words opposite had a motorcade to stop up the path, the mountain thief ambushed the both sides by the say/way is unable to prevent them to escape promptly, truncation next -and-a-half people of horses, attains at most few. Therefore the mountain thief will not easily use this method...... ” 那样的话即便对面有支车队堵塞了道路,山贼埋伏在道旁两侧也无法及时阻止他们逃逸,顶多截下一人半马的,所获极少。所以山贼轻易是不会采用这种方法的……” Ye Xiaotian interrupts his words: „What do these mean?” 叶小天打断他的话道:“这些意味着什么？” team leader Zhou said: „humble/despise Zhi believes that time certainly inquiry of this group of mountain thief pan very is clear, they clarity that the Landlord Lin status, traffics the cargo that use the transport means and even that the travel time understands. Therefore, they have the traitor within either, either is beforehand some person and Landlord Lin and his party has had very close contact.” 周班头道:“卑职认为,这伙山贼踩盘子的时候一定打探的非常清楚,他们把林员外的身份、贩运的货物、所使用的运输工具乃至行程时间都了解的很清楚。所以,他们要么有内奸,要么就是事先有人和林员外一行人有过很密切的接触。” Ye Xiaotian nods, said: „Although I have not made trafficking, may also understand, since path non- peace, when then I start off, when eats while traveling, beforehand too will not determine and divulge knows early in others......” 叶小天点了点头,道:“虽然我不曾做过贩运,可也明白,既然道路不靖,那么我几时上路,几时打尖,事先都不会太早确定并泄露于他人知道……” team leader Zhou said joyfully: „Good! Therefore the person who they send pan, should left these days of relay station in relay station or Landlord Lin and the others, has had the intimate contact with them. humble/despise Zhi the person will do the close investigation to these days with they have contacted.” 周班头欣然道:“不错！所以他们派去踩盘子的人,应该就是在驿站或者林员外等人离开驿站的这段时间里,和他们有过密切接触。卑职会对这段时间里同他们接触过的人做详细调查。” At this time has arrived at their Zhao Wenyuan also to listen earnestly, listening to the team leader Zhou words to nod to say joyfully: „team leader Zhou said is greatly reasonable, worthily was the old gate. And leaves these days of relay station in the relay station, trade route unceasingly in Tu, if some person and they have had the contact, cannot hide the truth from others informer inevitably, when may obtain some clues.” 此时已然走到他们身边的赵文远也在认真听着,听罢周班头的话欣然点头道:“周班头所言大有道理,不愧是老公门。在驿站和离开驿站的这段时间内,商旅不绝于途,如果有人和他们有过接触,必然瞒不过他人耳目,当可获得一些线索。” Ye Xiaotian thought that suddenly asked: „You said that the person who the opposite comes has eight knights, is protecting a light car(riage), here altogether died their five people, but also remains three people to add the person or east and west on that vehicle, since runs away to my county direction, where they?” 叶小天思索了一下,忽然问道:“你方才说,对面来的人有八名骑士,护着一辆轻车,这里一共死了他们五个人,还剩三人加那辆车子上的人或东西,既然是逃向我县方向,他们哪去了？” team leader Zhou said: „humble/despise Zhi was just about saying that my county direction no one had once seen them, when came on the road has not seen their corpses.” 周班头道:“卑职正要说,我县方向无人曾看到过他们,来时路上也未见到他们的尸首。” Ye Xiaotian looks subconsciously to the cross-strait luxuriant mountain forest, team leader Zhou said: „Cateran to Landlord Lin defends, the guard casualty completely, waiter and cart driver of survival also, missing, only then the three person and that car(riage) of opposite that motorcade.” 叶小天下意识地看向两岸莽莽的山林,周班头道:“山贼强冲林员外的守阵,护卫死伤殆尽,幸存的伙计和车把式也都在,失踪的只有对面那支车队的三个人及那辆车。” Zhao Wenyuan said: „Such being the case, they should be also like Landlord Lin, was abducted by the mountain thief.” 赵文远道:“既然如此,他们应该也和林员外一样,被山贼掳走了。” Ye Xiaotian shakes the head saying: „Cannot! The mountain thieves know that the Landlord Lin details, want to tie up him for the captive held for ransom, extorts the ransom money. What kidnaps other that three people to make? What noble status three guard knights can have, being worth them kidnapping?” 叶小天摇头道:“不会！山贼知道林员外的底细,想把他绑为肉票,勒索赎金。绑架另外那三个人做什么？三个护卫骑士能有什么高贵的身份,值得他们绑票？” team leader Zhou said: „, They were pursued urgent, runs away to climb mountains hastily!” 周班头道:“那么,他们就是被追赶甚急,仓促逃上了山！” Ye Xiaotian is looking at the luxuriant Qingshan district ponder moment, said: „Yesterday the early spring rains, the carriages and horses good must have the trace, walks! Searches following the trail!” 叶小天望着莽莽青山沉思片刻,道:“昨日新雨,车马行过必有痕迹,走！循着踪迹搜索一下！” Zhao Wenyuan hurries to prevent saying: „Historian Ye, this was too dangerous, if these mountain thieves have not run away far, how could it not be to have the sorrow of life. Waits to adjust the people to search for the mountain strongly again, this officer also adjustable errand runners and minor employees come to assist in you.” 赵文远慌忙阻止道:“叶典史,这太危险了,万一那些山贼尚未逃远,岂不有性命之忧。还是等调来民壮再搜山吧,本官也可调驿卒们前来协助于你。” Ye Xiaotian said: „, They have don't worry gone well, not only fished that big money, and tied up the captive held for ransom, truth that has not gone to faraway places. This officer must look for these missing people, counted on actually not they can provide how useful message, but hope, if they have not died, can save their life promptly. team leader Zhou!” 叶小天道:“不用担心,他们已经得手,既捞了那么大笔财货,又绑了肉票,没有不远走高飞的道理。本官要找那些失踪者,倒不是指望他们能够提供多么有用的消息,只是希望如果他们还未死,能够及时救下他们一条性命。周班头！” team leader Zhou very back, said immediately loudly: „humble/despise Zhi in!” 周班头马上一挺腰杆儿,大声道:“卑职在！” Ye Xiaotian puts out a hand to hold blade of a spall on nearby tattered carriage, makes an effort to sway two, pulls up to raise the blade in the hand, the sinking sound told: „Leaves behind few people to clean up the scene, others, along with me climb mountains following the trace!” 叶小天伸手抓住一柄斫在一旁破烂马车上的刀,用力摇晃两下,将刀拔起提在手中,沉声吩咐道:“留下一部分人清理现场,其他人,随我循踪上山！” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Hong Baichuan sits in the hall, flavorful the tea, Daheng is conducting the arm a bulging book bag to walk slantingly. 洪百川坐在厅中,正有滋有味儿地品着茶,大亨斜挎着一个鼓鼓囊囊的书包走了进来。 Hong Baichuan sees immediately a brow wrinkle, plays the role of the father appearance, disgruntled said/tunnel: „Halts! Didn't you go to the carriages and horses line? How to go home quickly. Daheng, you also grow up now, working to have the perseverance, your, how making other carriages and horses group of people of see?” 洪百川一见登时眉头一皱,扮出严父模样,不悦地道:“站住！你不是去车马行了吗？怎么这么快就回家了。大亨啊,你现在也长大了,做事要有长性,你这样子,让车马行的其他人怎么看？” Daheng sees his father to be anxious, swallows a saliva saying: „Father, I......” 大亨一见他爹就紧张,咽口唾沫道:“爹,我……” Hong Baichuan reprimanded: „Wants the stubborn mouth? The carriages and horses line is also your business, moreover is your big business, the general store that side profit is big, was less to operate this car(riage) horse dealer. This is the basis that you settle down and get on with life, father's business, sooner or later will be your, but you can also take to be good. Do three days like you hit fishing two days of now expose to the sun the net how become?” 洪百川斥道:“又要犟嘴？车马行也是你的生意,而且是你的大生意,杂货铺那边利润再大,也不及把这车马行经营好了。这可是你安身立命的根本,爹的生意,早晚都是你的,可你也得能拿得起来才行。像你现在这样三天打渔两天晒网的怎么成？” Daheng said: „Father, is not I do not do business attentively, is really today truly does not have the business.
