Chapter 270: The Wind Rises (6)

Jiang Tong is now only thirty years old,

At this time, it has become a county guard,

have to

There's a lot of luck in that.

In the early years, he served as a county official in Cangsong,

Valued by the prefectural order,

After serving Ma Teng,

assisted Ma Teng to quickly stabilize the situation in various places,

Now, Ma Teng will be the most chaotic and important Jincheng County,

In the hands of Jiang Tong,

Appointed him as the chief keeper of Jincheng County,

In just a few months,

Although Jincheng County does not regain its prosperity,

But at least it's completely stabilized.

Jiang Tong played a crucial role in this.

On this morning,

Jiang Tong is dealing with official documents,

On the bookcase he leaned over,

There are several piles of official documents thickly stacked,

That's a lot less than when he first arrived.

"Knock Knock"

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door three times,

Jiang Tong raised his head from the mountain file,

Relieved his mind,

to see the man at the door,

Standing at the door was a young scribe,

The appearance is not handsome,

But it's also very dignified,

A long shirt covered with a thick coat,

gives people a sense of elegance,

"It turned out that the county was here."

The person who came bowed slightly,

Walk into the house and say seriously:

"Jun Chengjia visited to meet Lord Taishou."

Jiang Tong opened his mouth and greeted:

"Please don't be polite, oops, I'm a little messy here, you can find a place to sit."

Jia Wan smiled slightly,

Didn't feel any discomfort,

The two of them have been working together for a while,

We are already very familiar with each other,

And because of the same age,

And the political views are also the same,

The relationship between the two is also very close in private.

It's just that these two Rao's personalities are more serious,

Therefore, in the etiquette of speech, there is always a glance,

In the words of Ma Teng,

It is a typical sour Confucian style.

Jiang Tong put down the work in his hand,

He stretched out a long stretch and said:

"Why do you have time to come to me today?"

When Jia Wan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly,

Jincheng County is in ruins,

Since Jiang Tong took office,

It can be undressed,

even often stays up all night to deal with all kinds of official business,

Later, after Jia Wan came,

The situation has only slightly improved,

But the two of them are still busy,

Under normal circumstances,

This time happens to be the busiest time for official business.

That's why Jiang Tong asked.

After smiling bitterly, Jia Wan's face became serious and said:

"Lord Taishou, something happened."

Jiang Tong's heart sank,

looked at Jia Wan with a serious expression,

Jia Wan is calm and capable,

If it's just a general thing,

I won't make such a big fuss,

This only shows that this matter is quite tricky,

That's why Jia Wan had to find him here.

"What the hell is going on?"

Jia Wan groaned for a moment and said:

"Wang Meng, a wealthy gentleman in Yunwu County, was found tragically dead at home yesterday, and his family property was also looted.

"Words?"

Jiang Tong's pupils shrank sharply when he heard this,

Hesitantly, he said:

"What you owe me, should you pay it back?"

Jia visited the dignified place,

Although there are no words,

But that look made things clear.

Jiang Tong closed his mouth,

His face became very ugly.

This is already the third case this month,

Yungo County as the seat of Gimseong-gun,

It already represents the face of Jincheng County,

However, the thieves were so bold that they were in the county,

committed crimes one after another under the nose of Taishou,

And the attitude is very arrogant,

After committing the crime,

will leave such words in the main hall.

The first time to commit a crime,

is in the first two of Ma Chao's departure,

At the time, they thought it was an ordinary vendetta,

Although Jiang Tong and Ma Chao both ordered a thorough investigation,

But neither of them paid much attention to it,

Jincheng County has always been under Han Sui's hands,

When conquering Han Sui,

Although Jincheng County did not suffer any baptism of war,

But many of the gentry in the city are in danger.

Because they all supported Han Sui in the past,

It's just that after Ma Chao and others entered Jincheng,

There is no offense against these people,

Slowly, many people were reassured.

But at the same time,

There are still some diehards of Han Sui,

or all those with ulterior motives,

secretly making trouble,

Although there are not many things to seek revenge, murder and robbery,

But it's not like it hasn't happened.

So at first, everyone didn't pay much attention to it.

Immediately afterwards, the third after Ma Chao left,

There were two homicides in the neighborhood,

The modus operandi and the traces left are exactly the same,

This made Jiang Tong feel a little troublesome,

However, whether it is an overt or covert visit,

There is no eyebrows at all,

This made Jiang Tong put the matter aside for the time being.

Today is the tenth of Ma Chao's departure,

The same case happened again,

Jiang Tongyi's sword eyebrows were twisted together.

Jia Wan then spoke:

"Not only that, but in the past two days, I have received reports that similar cases have occurred in six counties, including Zhiyang, Jincheng, Yuzhilingju, Anyi, and Linqiang."

Jiang Tong raised his head in shock,

Slam the table hard,

The table full of official documents was shocked to the ground,

"How can this be justified, when did the thief deceive me too much?"

"Most of the things that happened in the past two days, the thieves did the same, and they all left that sentence. Only then did he hurry up to report to the Taishou. ”

Jiang Tong sat on the seat,

The face is gloomy and terrible,

Shen Sheng asked:

"There are a total of ten counties under the jurisdiction of Jincheng County, which can be regarded as an upper county, Liangzhou is already vast and sparsely populated, which makes our Jincheng County occupy a wide area, and the distance between the six county towns is not close, and the perpetrators can commit crimes in six counties at the same time in one or two days. At the very least, it is certain that the number of perpetrators will not be small. Hmph, that's a big deal. Have you ever found any clues? ”

Jia Wan perked up and hurriedly spoke:

"According to the investigation, these people were originally attached to Han Sui, and then after our army captured Jincheng, they were the first to surrender."

Jiang Tong said with a wry smile on his face when he heard this:

"In the entire Jincheng County, there are more than hundreds of such people, what is the difference between having this kind of clue and not being able to do it?"

Jia Wan continued to speak:

"My lord, most of these people are Han Chinese, and they are all businessmen, and most of the industries they are engaged in are mainly selling war horses."

Jiang Tong's eyes lit up,

The brain is running at breakneck speed,

Whispered:

"Han people, merchants, war horse sellers......"

Jia visited the point of zero,

The detailed opening explained:

"For a period of time, the lowly has been sorting out the files of the powerful and powerful, and after a few cases have appeared this time, the lowly has also been investigating this matter. Later, it was discovered that these several things in common. ”

Jiang Tong nodded and said:

This matter must be inseparable from Han Sui's remnants. It's just that after Han Sui's death, most of his family members have been ambushed except for a son-in-law who is no longer around, and those former subordinates have now been disrupted and sent elsewhere, and they are all under close surveillance. Who else could be able to do this with great energy? Could it be that his son-in-law is back? ”

Jia Wan said:

"Lord Taishou, so does the lowly position. Han Sui's son-in-law, surnamed Yan Mingxing, the word Yanming. It is said that it was an orphan adopted by Han Sui, who loved his talent, and when he grew up, he married his daughter to him, and wanted to hand over the inheritance to this person. It's just that two years ago, this person seemed to go out to learn art, and then he disappeared. ”

After a pause, Jia Wan suddenly explained:

"According to that, Yan Xing had a confrontation with General Ma Chao a few years ago, and even almost killed General Ma Chao."

Jiang Tong's pupils shrank,

Asked incredulously:

"Is there such a thing?"

"The humble post has been discussed and investigated in detail, but there is this matter, at that time Ma Teng was still under Dong Zhuo, and when he once rebelled against Burning Dangqiang, Yan Xing seemed to have a good relationship with Burning Dangqiang, and the two started a fight. Dozens of rounds of fighting were evenly matched, and in the end, Yan Xing's spear broke, and when it was dangerous, he resisted Ma Chao's throat with a broken spear. Fortunately, Ma Teng and Han Sui arrived at that time, and only then did they separate the two. ”

Jiang Tong nodded his head,

When chatting with Ma Chao before,

Ma Chao once inadvertently visited,

So far, there has only been one failure,

Jiang Tongyi thought that Ma Chao's failure,

It was defeated by Lu Bu,

Now it seems that

But he was defeated by this Yan School

I didn't expect that,

Among the Qiang people,

Ma Chao, who has the name of "General Shenwei",

will be defeated in the hands of Rao of the same age,

No wonder when Jiang Tong asked,

Ma Chao vaguely fooled the past.

It's normal to think about it,

With Ma Chao's arrogant character,

How could anyone else know about it?

Shaking his head,

Throw the distractions behind you,

Jiang Tong opened his mouth and said:

"Even if Yan Xing is superior in force, he is just one person, this matter will obviously not be so simple, I'm afraid it is no longer something you and I can solve. In this way, I will immediately revise a letter and report it to General Ma Teng, and we also need to find out about this matter as soon as possible. ”

After a moment's silence,

Jiang Tong looked directly at Jia Wan,

Suddenly, he continued:

"Also, if necessary, please lend a helping hand."

Jia Wan was stunned when he heard this,

But in the blink of an eye,

And he recovered,

looked at Jiang Tong with burning eyes,

After the two looked at each other for a long time,

They all smiled.

Jiang Tong opened his mouth and explained:

"Mr. Jia Wan is a person recommended by Mr. Zhong Xuan. Although Mr. Zhong Xuan is because Mr. Jia's ancestral home is Wuwei, he is very familiar with Tuan and has deep connections, and his own ability is also extraordinary. But Mr. Jia also represents the state and Wenhou, General Ma Teng understands this very well, and General Ma Chao also specially instructed me before leaving. 'The Ma family will never turn their backs on the lord! These are the original words of General Ma Teng's father and son, and I hope that Mr. will tell you. ”

After that, Jiang Tong stood up and respectfully saluted Jia Wan.

Jiang Tong is the Taishou of Jincheng County,

Jia Wan is just the county of Jincheng County,

The top boss respectfully salutes his subordinates,

This comes from the ritual system,

It's incredible,

But two people who are plain and rigid dogmas,

Now it's taken for granted.

As Fang Cai Jiang Tong institute,

Jia Wan was sent to Liangzhou,

In fact, it represents Lu Bu,

Ma Teng and his son know it,

In the past, no one pierced this layer of window paper,

It's just that they know each other.

But now I encounter this incident,

After all, it's extraordinary,

Although it was a battle between Ma Teng and Han Suiyu's party,

However, whether the matter is easy to resolve or not,

Ma Teng, they all have to have a posture,

Let the core of the Bingzhou Group rest assured,

Let Lu Bu rest assured,

The Ma family will always be loyal to Lu Bu,

will not be easily betrayed,

It's a matter of attitude,

Therefore, Jiang Tong's worship represents Ma Teng's father and son,

Salute to Lu Bu, who is represented by Jia Wan,

So both sides take it for granted.

After Jia Wan calmly accepted Jiang's unification salute,

Only then did he return the salute and said:

"Lord Taishou, I will convey your words as they are. Please rest assured, I will tell you in detail about this matter. ”

Now that the window paper has been pierced,

Jia Wan is not twisted,

Graciously conceded it.

After sitting down again,

Both sides felt a burst of relief,

After smiling at each other,

The discussion continued.

The snow march is very difficult,

In particular, Jingzhou belongs to the south,

Although the winter in the south is also very cold,

But there is no strong wind in the north,

The soldiers in Jingzhou felt very uncomfortable here.

As the chief general's clerk,

For these things it is clear,

But he also felt very helpless,

The military order is like a mountain, and he has the heavy responsibility of taking over Zhang Ji and capturing Guanzhong.

Even if you know that this trip is not easy,

But he could only enter the school hard

Fu Xun was wrapped in several layers of leather clothes,

I still feel cold in my hands and feet,

Standing tremblingly beside Wen Ping,

In the cold wind, he asked loudly:

"General Wen, now that we are not far from Wuguan, where will we camp today?"

Wen Ping pointed to the foot of a mountain not far ahead,

Replied loudly:

"Two miles ahead, there is a place called Jiazigou. It used to be a river, but now it has dried up, and next to it is Jiazi Mountain, where we set up camp tonight. Have a good rest, tomorrow will be the appointed time. ”

Fu Xun nodded desperately,

Cursing in a low voice with a bad breath.

Wen Ping no longer paid attention to him,

When he raised his head and looked into the distance,

Suddenly, a fast horse came running from behind,

Jumping hard in the snow.

No way, a few heavy snows in a row,

The snow on the ground is heavy,

This is still the army has just passed,

Horses can run on the road.

When he came to Wenpin,

It took a lot of effort for the war horse to finally stop,

"Report to the general, six hundred miles urgent!"

Wen Ping's eyes narrowed slightly,

Look at the herald.

Fu Xun was also stunned on the side,

Could it be that something happened in Jingzhou?

How could it be at this juncture,

And the order came,

And it's six hundred miles expedited,

What exactly is the reason.

Wen Ping immediately waved the horsewhip in his hand,

The guards around him immediately surrounded him with a hula,

Emptied the space of two feet around Wen Ping,

blocked everyone, including Fu Xun,

On the march,

There are no tents and other things to hide information,

Only in this way.

The herald took out a bamboo tube from his bosom,

Put your hands into the hands of Wen Ping,

At the same time, I walked to Wenpin's side,

Whispered softly in Wen Ping's ear.

Fu Xun carefully observed Wen Ping,

I want to see some clues in his face,

But after trying hard for a long time, I finally gave up.

Wen Ping's face always looked like an ancient well.

The army is still moving slowly through the snow and ice,

It's just the cold wind and snow,

I became more anxious.
