Chapter 113 Mr. Yang Ming's scene deduction

It is said that this anonymous report letter was written by Mr. Yangming himself, which is not recorded in the history books.The original record on the matter is as follows: On the 9th day of October, Mr. Bing arrived in Nankang.Some people came out of Li Zhengyan, the righteous official, and Liu Futai, the medical officer, who communicated with the thieves.Mr. Zhao called two people to present him with the first petition, but the two argued with no avail.The master said: "That's it, please forgive your crime."But they all stayed under the curtain and made meritorious deeds. The original records say that someone actually reported on the righteous officer Li Zhengyan and the medical officer Liu Futai, and did not say that Mr. Yangming himself was a spoof. Why should we blame Mr. Yangming for this matter?

This is because only Mr. Yangming himself has the urge to write this anonymous letter, and it is impossible for others to do so. Let me first talk about why I think only Mr. Yangming himself can do it. This is because the two people he is eyeing are a righteous official and the other is a medical officer.These two people have a common feature, they both have a wide range of social contacts and know many people.Li Zhengyan was appointed as a righteous officer of the militia precisely because of his little fame.And Liu Futai is a doctor, anyone would want to know and make friends with him. For the same reason, these two people are precisely the targets of the Hengshui bandits.Li Zhengyan has influence in the local area, and he is the key figure that the thieves win over and make friends with.As for the doctor Liu Futai, being a bandit will inevitably be wounded by the knife, so it is necessary to know a doctor.

However, these judgments are at best conjectures, and there is no reason to conclude that the two are guilty.What's more, even if these two people have connections with the bandits, it must be a secret relationship and will not let others know.Even if someone knows, but firstly, they can't offend the bandits, and secondly, they still need these two people, so no one will make such a taboo to sue them. So this matter is clear, and Mr. Yangming concluded that the two must have some kind of connection with the bandits.But the trouble is, no one will report on these two people, you can only be suspicious at best.

Mr. Yang Ming must have been waiting hard, waiting for someone to jump out and report these two people, and he just took the opportunity to do it-what to do, we will talk about it later. But as we have analyzed, people are afraid of bandits, and they have more friendship with these two people, and they will inevitably ask for these two people in the future, so the possibility of local people writing this anonymous report letter is basically impossible. existing. No one will come forward to expose these two people, but an anonymous report letter did appear in the hands of Mr. Yang Ming.So the greatest possibility is that this letter was written by Mr. Yangming himself.

So, Mr. Yangming is already a sage, why would he still do such inexplicable things? This kind of thing can only be done by sages.You are not a sage, you can't do it even if you want to, and even if you do it, it won't have any effect.So, what is the practical significance of Mr. Yangming's spoof? This meaning is clearly written in the history books: In the evening of Jing, Li Zhengyan and Liu Futai asked to see something confidential.The gentleman called in and knocked on him secretly.The two reported in unison: "If you want to attack Tonggang, you must pass through eighteen places. This is the most dangerous place to go. Surrounded by chaotic mountains, steep mountains and narrow roads, officers and soldiers have never been able to enter."Today there is a carpenter Zhang Bao, who has lived in the barbarians for a long time, and whoever builds a fence, he will help him. If you want to know the location, you must have this person.

Look, this is the ultimate purpose of Mr. Yangming's anonymous report letter. You can be sure that Mr. Yangming has already carefully studied these two people, and believes that they must have secret contacts with the bandits in Hengshui and Tonggang.But these two people can help officers and soldiers openly, and they can also treat diseases and save people secretly, but it is not easy for them to betray the clients of Hengshui and Tookaoka. Mr. Yangming must have beaten the two of them many times before, implying that the two of them helped him, but the two of them must have kept their mouths shut and their teeth clenched, and refused to make a sound when they were beaten to death.Now that the two of them are still unwilling to speak, Mr. Yangming's play is not easy to sing.

So at this time, an anonymous report letter suddenly appeared, and finally the two were cornered, and they had to raise their hands and surrender. Therefore, there are only two possibilities for this anonymous report letter: one is that it fell from the sky, and the other is that Mr. Yangming made it himself. If we deny that this letter fell from the sky, then we can only think that this letter was written by Mr. Yangming himself. It was this anonymous report letter that opened the door to the Hengshui bandit's lair and identified a key person: Woodworker Zhang Bao!
