The Great Qin Empire---Qin Li

"Heifu Pavilion Chief, where are those pavilion guards? Why haven't they come back yet?"

On the other side, at the village chief's house, Feng, the village chief of Blind Mountain, stood up and looked outside as if he was worried.

"Maybe they walked too far. Don't worry about them, village chief, let's continue talking."

Heifu smiled on the surface, but he never stopped thinking in his heart.

His strategy was actually very simple. He wanted to delay the village officials who might protect local villagers and the villagers who came to watch the fun, so that they would relax their guard. Ji Ying and Li Xian took the opportunity to walk around the village to see if the suspicious house was the person they were looking for...

In his previous life, as a graduate of the police academy, he had more or less learned about trafficking cases, and even a senior police officer gave them a lesson about his ten-year experience in fighting trafficking...

In class, the senior spoke in a formal manner, talking about the harm of trafficking to society and the effectiveness of the country's anti-trafficking efforts...

But after class, when they sat down to eat together, the old man started to speak his mind after a few sips of wine.

The senior said that trafficking cases in mountainous rural areas are often participated by the whole village. In a place as small as a palm, everyone knows each other's situation. Moreover, if one family buys, the neighbors will follow suit, committing crimes in a den, and pulling radishes out of the mud.

Even village cadres will help to cover up, because if they don't help, the village official will also be over. That's why there were several times when the police cars were being attacked. Because they alerted the enemy, the whole village was mobilized to block the police cars as soon as they entered the village.

The villagers have an invisible collective consciousness, especially in this aspect, everyone is very united. Because if you don't help others hold their wives today, you will have nothing if your wife runs away tomorrow. In the village, buying a wife costs at least a few thousand or even tens of thousands, which is basically all the savings of a family, and you can only afford one in your lifetime.

In fact, in that kind of place, buying a cow is almost enough to buy one in your lifetime, right?

The gap between people and animals is sometimes so small.

What should we do at this time, shoot? The senior smiled and said, it's impossible, that will trigger violent incidents, and everyone will be in trouble. In the end, we can only leave in disgrace like a defeated battle, hoping to come back next time when we are fully prepared, but when we come again, we can't find anyone...

This was the case in the 1980s and 1990s in later generations, let alone the Qin Dynasty more than two thousand years ago?

Heifu didn't trust the village officials in the blind mountain at all. Asking them about the looting and selling was like asking for the skin of a tiger.

He could only pretend to be an incompetent pavilion chief, pretending to be in cahoots with the village officials. Anyway, the information here was blocked, and from the village officials to the villagers, no one knew his name and deeds.

The plan was going smoothly, but now, the villagers who came to watch the excitement have dispersed one after another, and there is no news from Li Xian and Ji Ying. The longer the time, the more suspicious the village head will be, and Heifu's trick of "delaying" will be useless.

Just at this time, the stupid younger brother of the village head's family, who was in his twenties, ran out and yelled at them, breaking the awkward atmosphere of having nothing to say. The village head frowned and asked someone to take him away, then sighed and said that his younger brother fell on his head when he was a child, and he has been like this ever since.

Then, the chicken was finally killed...

A middle-aged cook came to the main hall with a pottery cauldron. In front of everyone, she poured some rice wine into it, put some wild peppercorns, salt and sauce in it, and quickly stirred it with a wooden stick for dozens of times, and then poured the hot contents of the cauldron into the pottery bowl...

The color was very bright, it was bright red hot chicken blood, with a little wild peppercorns floating on it, and there was floating blood foam. When it was placed in front of Heifu, a strong fishy smell came to his face.

"Heifu Pavilion Chief, please have it!"

The head of the village and Tiandian introduced that raw chicken blood is a delicacy in their area, which can activate blood circulation and replenish deficiency. As they said that, the two of them also demonstrated drinking a bowl of raw chicken blood, burping, and looked very satisfied.

Dongmen Bao also tried to taste it, frowned, and finally finished it.

Now it was Heifu's turn to feel a little annoyed. Raw chicken blood should be a recipe handed down from the Pu and Yue ethnic groups in the Jianghan area. Nowadays, most of the people in the remote villages of Nanjun are descendants of these two ethnic groups, but their language has been Chu-ized.

Although it is polite to eat a little of the food served by the host, Heifu really doesn't want to drink it...

He is afraid of parasites. If he gets them, it will be no joke.

So Heifu raised the pottery bowl and was about to drink it, but suddenly he covered his stomach and cried out in pain, saying that he had to go to the toilet.

After Heifu hurriedly left, the village head and Tiandian looked at him with some contempt, and said with a smile: "Heifu Pavilion Chief is not afraid of this bowl of raw chicken blood..."

Dongmen Bao, who was standing aside, was furious when he heard this. He wiped the blood from his mouth and wanted to go over and teach the two people a lesson, letting them know that Huyang Pavilion is the gathering place of the most vicious and evil people in Anlu County!

But thinking of Heifu's instructions to him, Qiudao managed to hold back.

So the village head and Tian Dian looked down on Heifu even more...

What would they think if they knew that the person they led into the house was a tiger, not a dog?

...

"Why can't we go to the hut over there?"

In the yard of the village head's house, Heifu was stopped by the village head's nephew on his way to the hut. He refused to let him go there, but led him to a corner and asked him to make do there.

Heifu remained calm, unbuckling his belt while asking the simple young man to talk.

"Is it because there are slaves and concubines locked up next to them? Are those slaves and concubines bought from outside? By the way, has the village head's brother married a wife?"

The village head's nephew nodded woodenly, but then shook his head quickly. When Heifu asked him again, he refused to say a word.

Hei Fu was bored and began to think about what to do next.

Of course, the bowl of chicken blood was a small matter. What he was worried about was what to do if Ji Ying, Li Xian and the others came up empty-handed and found nothing?

At this moment, a whistle suddenly came from the distance!

Hei Fu looked up hurriedly, and then heard the second and third sounds!

Whoosh! Whoosh! The whistle was wailing rapidly!

The three sharp whistles came from the north of the village, penetrating a distance of more than a hundred steps and reaching the sky above the village head's house, causing the people nearby to be confused.

Only Hei Fu's face suddenly became heavy.

He once asked his brother-in-law in the county to help him make a few small copper whistles, with brass as the raw material and high-quality cork as the whistle core. It can blow out a very sharp sound, and it can be heard clearly a hundred steps away! This thing has now become the standard equipment for the police officers in Huyang Pavilion. In this era where communication is basically based on shouting, the copper whistle can undoubtedly come in handy.

Before entering the blind mountain, Heifu left a copper whistle to Xiaotao, another to Lixian, and one for himself.

He and Lixian agreed that both parties would use the copper whistle as a means of communication and blow it only when they were in danger.

One blow means that the person has not been found, but there is danger.

Two blows mean that the person has been found, but they are in danger.

And three blows... means that the situation is extremely complicated and they are in danger! Rescue is needed immediately!

"Something must have happened!"

Heifu immediately tied his belt and hurried back to the hall.

The head of the village and Tiandian were in the house and did not hear the whistle outside. At this moment, they had already despised Heifu and did not get up. They just sat there and laughed: "The head of the pavilion came at the right time, and the chicken blood is still warm..."

As soon as the voice was finished, a loud shout suddenly came from outside!

"Help!"

...

It was a woman's shrill voice!

Heifu turned his head and saw that in the yard, in the direction where he was stopped, a woman was knocking away the stupid brother of the village head and running towards this side like crazy, but was suddenly hugged by two people, who wanted to cover her mouth...

But the woman bit the hand that covered her mouth fiercely, and took the time to shout in the direction of Heifu: "Help, I was kidnapped and sold, my name is Yuan..."

Before she could finish her words, she was slapped hard and fainted, and was forcibly dragged away by the families of the two village heads - she should have been working in the backyard just now, and she took advantage of the whistle to attract the attention of others, and then she found a chance to run out.

"Yuan..." Heifu chewed on the name and suddenly realized.

It turned out that they had been riding a donkey to look for a donkey!

At this time, the bearded head of the village had stood up with an embarrassed look on his face, and kept explaining: "Don't listen to her nonsense, head of the village, that's my brother's wife, there's no way, no one wants to marry him, so I can only find a crazy slave concubine to make do with. Come on, let's continue talking, the chicken blood should be drunk while it's hot, the chicken is almost cooked..."

"Yes, yes, there are crazy women everywhere, I didn't hear anything just now!"

Hei Fu also laughed, but thought coldly in his heart, this guy is really capable, as a head of the village, he knew the law and broke it, taking the lead in buying abducted women to be his stupid brother's wife...

He didn't seem to take it seriously, picked up the bowl of chicken blood, and walked towards the head of the village, saying that he would treat it as wine and treat the host with hospitality.

The head of the village didn't know what Hei Fu was thinking, and he didn't suspect him, but when Hei Fu raised the bowl in front of him, he stopped laughing and suddenly attacked!

A bowl of chicken blood hit the village head on the head!

The pottery bowl made a crisp sound and broke into several pieces. The bright red blood splashed everywhere, with pepper and blood foam, sticky on the village head's hair and thick beard. It was hard to tell whether it was chicken blood or the village head's blood...

Heifu was really angry and cursed: "There are crazy women everywhere, but thanks to you, there are especially many in Blind Mountain!"

The village head was stunned by the hit, and Heifu grabbed his arm and threw him over his shoulder, smashing the low table into pieces, and then twisted his arm with his backhand, and the village head screamed in pain!

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change, except Heifu, who raised his head and shouted to Dongmenbao: "Abao, do it!"

"Yes!"

Dongmenbao had just heard the village head Tian Dian and the other two people laughing at Heifu for being timid, saying that this pavilion chief didn't even dare to drink chicken blood, and had been patient for a long time. At this moment, he stood up and pounced on Tian Dian, who was still in a daze, like an agile leopard! He pressed him to the ground!

Upon hearing the sound, the family members of the village head rushed up with kitchen knives and wooden sticks, but saw that the hall was in a mess, and chicken blood was splashed all over the floor...

Behind him, Heifu had already put his sword across the throat of the village head, making him unable to move.

In front, Dongmenbao also stepped on Tian Dian, and he lifted his collar to reveal the armor inside and the two hand halberds on his waist!

Dongmen Bao faced five people alone, showing no fear at all. He shouted with angry eyes:

"Who dares to come even half a step closer? I will let the blood of this dog official splash all over you!"
