Chapter 224: Dispatch of Troops
After Jin Wei left, Quanzhi couldn't sleep, and finally closed his eyes when it was almost dawn, but it didn't take long to hear the shouts of his entourage.
"My lord, Lord Hubu Sikong and Lord Yantie Si Cao have already arrived at the Yamen, and they have just sent someone to pass the word, saying that they have something to discuss with your lordship."
Quan Zhi was annoyed in his heart, but he could only get up and get up, and hurriedly went to the yamen after a simple breakfast.
Kong Chai and Cao Zi can be said to be the main person in charge of this matter, so both of them were very anxious, rushed to Wu County early in the morning, and went to Yamen to see Zhu Hua first, and heard that Quanzhi was resting in the inn, so he immediately sent someone to spread the word.
When Quan Zhi arrived, the bloodshot in the latter's eyes made the two of them very embarrassed, everyone knew that it was rude to disturb people's dreams early in the morning, but now they couldn't tolerate the two of them to talk about etiquette anymore.
"The emperor sent someone to pass the order halfway, saying that this matter must be given within half a month, otherwise you and I will have to get rid of this black yarn hat." Kong chased the worried road.
Quanzhi remembered Jin Wei's words, since everyone in Wu County was wiped out, then this Zhu Hua, as a parent official, must also be involved, but he didn't say a word, so it can be seen that this person can't believe it.
Quanzhi asked Kong Chai and Cao Zi to go out with him, saying that he was going to investigate the case, and after leaving the county office, he told Kong Cao and the others the facts that Jin Wei told him.
After hearing this, the two of them were stunned and speechless, after all, such a fact is really shocking, then Luo only said that a hundred people were buried alive, but now it is hundreds of people who have been wiped out, such a big tragedy is almost unprecedented.
Kong Chai couldn't help but worry: "Then we came alone, and there were only dozens of guards around us. Can you stop it? This Zhu Hua is obviously already in partnership with the private miner, and now that we are in Wu County, I am afraid it is very dangerous. ”
Cao Zi is very enthusiastic. The mineral originally belonged to the director of the Salt and Iron Division, and now that something like this has happened, he has the greatest responsibility, if he retreats at this time, don't say that the black yarn is not guaranteed, even if he is his head, I am afraid he will have to move.
"I think this Zhu Hua is a breakthrough. He is a small county order, can we still help us? It is better to directly occupy his county office and lock him up for interrogation. I don't believe he won't tell the truth under torture. ”
"Not necessarily." Kong Chai disagreed: "Hundreds of people can be killed, and those people still care about the life of a county order?" If we catch him, firstly, we will startle the snake, and secondly, Zhu Hua will also be killed. When the time comes. Instead, the clue will be broken. ”
He looked at Quan Zhi again and said: "I think we might as well pretend not to know, plan the plan, first drag them with a delaying strategy, and then send someone to Beijing to deliver a letter, so that the emperor can send an army to support, with an army, what are we afraid of." ”
Quan Zhi said angrily: "From here to the capital." Back and forth for at least half a month, waiting for the army to arrive. I'm afraid you and I have become a skeleton. ”
"How's that good?" Kong Chai frowned worriedly.
After Quanzhi made sure that there was no one around, he took out the whistle that Jin Wei gave him and said, "I have already met with Jin Wei last night, and he said that we have to cooperate in this matter."
I don't know how he planned it, but I think he'll come to us when we need it, and we just need to be ready to help him when the time comes. ”
Cao Zi asked again: "Then what do we do now?" Who knows when he will contact us, but the emperor said that within half a month, the case must be solved. ”
Quan Zhi frowned slightly: "You think this matter is very simple? The matter of opening a mine without permission is so important, no matter which minister of the DPRK and China is involved behind it, we must not be able to provoke it. So they still need Jin Wei's help, but they only obey the emperor's orders to do things, so they are not afraid of others.
What we have to do now is to do whatever we have to do, eat and sleep and investigate cases, there are a lot of the same, and who can't pretend to be. ”
Kong Cao and the two thought about it and felt that it made sense, so it seemed that they could only pretend not to know for the time being, and wait for Jin Wei to contact them.

The matter of Wu County was exposed, and the most angry and corrupt person was Princess Haining.
In order to let the people of Ning Guo gain a firm foothold in Northern Qin, in terms of money and rights, it is also indispensable, and it was easy for her people to discover the treasure land of Wu County, but she could not reveal her identity, so she could only cooperate with Gong Chengyan, and the two agreed, and the final income was distributed according to five or five.
This matter could not be publicized, so Gong Chengyan bought off the local county order Zhu Hua, and the officials colluded to close the entire Wu County.
But when the mine was dug up, it was collapsed by the useless peasants. Not to mention the dead, the key is that this matter has been discovered, and she can only watch the minerals here fall into the treasury of the Northern Qin Emperor.
She originally planned to withdraw decisively, after all, the minerals had not been dug up, and even if Emperor Beiqin found out that there was no loss in the end, he should not be too tough to pursue it.
But Gong Chengyan told her that minerals are very important to Northern Qin, and once Emperor Northern Qin knows that someone has opened a mine privately, he will definitely investigate it to the end.
Princess Haining discussed with Gong Xiru and the four old men who followed her, and the three agreed that the two opposed, so she obeyed the majority and ordered all the people in the four villages of Wu County to be wiped out.
Just when the three of them were "concentrating" on the investigation of the case, a fight was taking place in a dilapidated and inconspicuous post house outside Quyang City.
Since Gong Xiru first came to this inn, he knew that there were at least dozens of Ning Guo people with good skills, among which the four old men had the highest martial arts.
These people are all the reserve strength of Princess Haining in Northern Qin, and they are generally not used, and when they are used, there must be something big happening, such as the destruction of the whole village in Wu County.
For such an important matter, Princess Haining didn't worry about others doing it, so she deliberately transferred twenty people from the post house and sent three old men to do it, that is to say, in today's post house, there is only one old man with superb martial arts skills who can really put him in his eyes.
Princess Haining was still drinking tea and writing poems and chatting with her good concubines in the palace, but in the post house, there was a fight that she couldn't imagine.
Of course Gong Xiru himself would not come forward, he asked Wuying to bring more than thirty people to ambush, these are the people he has cultivated all year round, there is no need to worry about martial arts, Wuying only needs to entangle the remaining old man, and the rest of the people can wipe out the remaining Ning Guoren.
Gong Sheng followed behind Gong Xiru, nervously observing the battle situation in secret, although Gong Xiru was confident, he still couldn't help but worry, for fear that something would go wrong.
But fortunately, things haven't changed much, but in half an hour, most of the people in the post house have been injured by the dead and wounded, Gong Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Gong Xiru: "Master Hou, it's a matter here, but over there in Wu County, there is no evil to go alone, and the villain is a little worried." ”
Gong Xiru was not worried, "If Wuxian can't deal with it, he will send news back." The rest of the people, I want them to be speechless and know how to do it. ”
Gong Sheng nodded hurriedly and said, "The little one understands, the Hou Ye will leave first, and the little one will be dealt with here." ”
Although it is said that the nest of the people of Ningguo has been ended, it is not possible for Princess Haining to find out that it is Gong Xiru's masterpiece for the time being, after all, there are still three old men with excellent martial arts who have not been solved, if you provoke those people, I am afraid it will be a little troublesome to deal with.
However, he said that the three of them stayed in Wu County for two days and found nothing, and they were very distressed.
Although Zhu Hua said comforting words on his face, he was proud in his heart, behind this matter in his heart was Ning Guo and Lord Gong, where was it so easy to solve the case.
He was at ease in front of the county order, but he didn't know that Quanzhi and the others had secretly contacted Jin Wei.
Late that night, Jin Wei appeared in Quanzhi's room again, but this time there were two more people, because he was worried that Zhu Hua would attack him in the county office, and Sun Cao and the others also followed the guest house.
"We have obtained the evidence, now we only need to lure out the people behind the scenes, I have reached an agreement with an important person, when the time comes, he will help us lure out those people behind the scenes, as long as one person is caught, Jin Wei has a way to pry his mouth open."
Allwinner was curious about the important person he was talking about, and asked, "Dare to ask who this person is?" Could it be the living mouth of Wu County? ”
"You don't need to know this, you just need to quietly transfer people from other counties, at the latest two days, you must mobilize people, otherwise we will bring out those people, and we can't deal with it, Jin Wei only has ten people, and the people you brought are not useful at all." Jin Wei sneered mercilessly.
Quan Zhiqing coughed twice, he also knew that they brought people, and it was okay to deal with street gangsters, but it was not possible to deal with these extremely vicious people.
Cao Zi continued: "If you mobilize people and horses, it is better for us to act separately, there are many people and there is great power, I am familiar with the prefect of Taizhou, and I will definitely be able to borrow people and horses, Taizhou is not far from here, and it is just right to come and go for two days." ”
Kong Chai also said that he could borrow troops from Maoxian, and he could get there in almost a day.
It's just that these ordinary soldiers are of little use, Quan Zhi pondered for a moment, and muttered: "It seems that I have to go to the Jinyang Army, if I can borrow people from the army, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Jin Wei finally emphasized: "Now in Wu County, the whereabouts of the three of you are no longer a secret.
From the first day you entered Wu County, you were targeted by those people, so in the process of transferring troops, you must be careful, if those people see our intentions, then I am afraid that after half a month, you can only take the black gauze hat on your head to face the saint. ”
Kong Chai was shocked: "Then when we meet you, haven't we already been discovered?" ”
Jin Wei's face was cold, and he smiled disdainfully: "They want to find me, and they don't have that ability, so don't think about how to find me, wait for me to find you." ”
Although the tone of such an order made the three of them very uncomfortable, but now the situation is special, not to mention that Jin Wei only listens to Emperor Qinglong's orders, and they really don't have the ability to dare to stiffen their necks with Jin Wei.
After the three agreed, they each went back to their respective houses, while Jin Wei quietly left the inn without alarming anyone.
Just when a few people were discussing how to transfer troops over, Wei Zheng, who was far away in the capital, had already made up his mind that the case of Bailan Temple could not be delayed, and since neither side could be offended, then he could only find someone to be a substitute for the dead ghost.
It's just that he has this kind of thought, how could Ling Yi not know? Now that he knows, how can he let him succeed easily? (To be continued.) )
