Chapter 403: Geng Xiaofan personally inspected the scene
In the past few days, Guo Ting has been full of grief and anger, and he can't sleep day and night. His heart was on fire, and he contracted the wind and cold, and he had a stroke. Fortunately, he has been in the military all year round, and his physical fitness is quite reasonable, and after emergency treatment, his mouth and eyes are slightly crooked, and nothing else is serious.
After receiving the news that Geng Xiaofan was about to arrive, he struggled to get up, and accompanied by Tian Dan and others, he came to the gate of the county early to greet him.
Geng Xiaofan was puzzled when he saw his embarrassed appearance.
Tian Dan glanced at Guo Ting carefully, and hurriedly stepped forward to report, "Lord Taishou, who disappeared with Geng Weicheng, and Lord Duwei's daughter." ”
"What the hell is going on!" Geng Xiaofan didn't get off the horse either, and asked sharply.
Tian Dan knew that it was inconvenient for Guo Ting to talk and walk at this time, so he took on the task of "reception" with great eyes. While leading the way into the city, he carefully "reported" the situation to Geng Xiaofan.
His excuses are ridiculous and full of loopholes.
What received a report that there were thieves who stole military horses and were hovering near the gambling hall, and Lord Du Wei personally commanded the bandits, but he didn't expect Geng Du Wei Cheng to also find clues about the thieves.
Du Wei Chengyi is bold, alone, no, not alone, accompanied by Guo Nuxia, he went straight to the thief's den. It was only because the two sides did not communicate in advance, and they encountered stubborn resistance from thieves, that Guo Duwei had to order a clean-up, resulting in an accident.
Geng Xiaofan didn't believe his nonsense at all, but he was really in no mood to "care" with him at this time.
After patiently listening to what he said, Geng Xiaofan stopped directly, "Let's go to the scene first!" ”
"My lord has been working all the way on a saddle horse...... Tian Dan saw that when Geng Xiaofan listened to his report, he didn't say a word, thinking that he believed in himself, and he was a little proud, and hurriedly stammered and wanted him to settle down in the Governor's Mansion.
"You think I'm willing to pommel a horse! You think I have the heart to rest now! Geng Xiaofan scolded angrily.
"Yes, yes!" Tian Dan saw that Geng Xiaofan suddenly lost his temper, he was scared into a cold sweat, looked back at the car he was carrying, didn't dare to say more, and quickly led them to the warehouse.
The fire almost leveled the place, and all the houses collapsed and left it in ruins.
Geng Xiaofan was a little shocked, where is this banditry, this is obviously killing people! It's not just about killing people and destroying people, it's about destroying corpses!
"How many thieves are there? How many people were captured, how many died, how many escaped? Geng Xiaofan asked in a cold voice while watching.
"This, this ......" Tian Dan was stunned when asked, he only cared about finding someone in the past two days, and he didn't care about these at all.
"I really don't know the exact number of thieves, I only know that nine people died, and now, the rest of the bandits are being searched for in the whole city." Tian Dan saw that Geng Xiaofan's eyes were cold, and he knew that he couldn't prevaricate, so he had to make it up "according to the truth".
"You don't know! Where's your tip? I don't even know the number of thieves, how do you hunt for them? Geng Xiaofan roared, "Can you catch a live mouth?" ”
"No, not alive. At that time, we surrounded this place with no water, and the thieves were alive, and it was difficult for them to fly even if they had wings. ”
"It's hard to fly! Your Miss Guo won't just fly! Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but start to explode.
"This, that's where the humiliation lies." Tian Dan was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a "poof".
"Where were all nine bodies found?" Geng Xiaofan knew that this was not the time to pack up the field order, so he asked angrily.
"Seven in this yard and two in that pond." Tian Dan didn't expect Lord Taishou to ask so specifically, so he hurriedly pointed with his hand.
"Where were the seven people in the courtyard when they found it?" Geng Xiaofan looked up at the pond outside the courtyard wall and asked again. He wanted to recreate the scene as much as possible.
"This, this ......" Tian Dan really couldn't answer.
"I don't know! What do you want! Find someone who knows to come and answer! Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but raise his foot, he really wanted to kick this Du Wei Shi to death!
Tian Dan ran away again, and came back with Juchu after a while.
"What's your name, whatever your position? Will you be there that night? Geng Xiaofan saw that he was a talent at the beginning, and he suddenly had a good impression, and his voice calmed down a lot.
"Lord Hui Taishou, at the beginning of his surname, does not serve in the Governor's Mansion. That night, I learned that my sister was in a sea of fire and hurried over. Fight the fire and clear the field, and the next is there. Ju Chu was neither humble nor arrogant and replied.
"Sister-in-law? Are you Guo Ting's adopted son? Geng Xiaofan began to look at the young man seriously.
After a long time, he continued to ask, "Tell me about the situation at that time, where were people found?" What else have you found here? ”
Ju Chu took a deep breath and briefly recounted the firefighting situation that night and the subsequent search.
"The courtyard wall over there is not low, can the two people in the pond conclude that they came out of the wall?" Geng Xiaofan listened very carefully, and he found that Juchu was very organized.
"It can be concluded. Both of them had arrow wounds, and there were guards in ambush outside the courtyard wall that night, and they were sure that someone had gone out over the wall before they released the arrows. ”
"Is it just two?" Geng Xiaofan speculated that if the body could not be found in the courtyard, it was very likely that Zhen'er also escaped over the wall.
"Not sure! After the soldiers shot the two, they went to round up, and the two had no way to escape, and risked jumping into the pond, not wanting to be drowned. The soldiers weren't sure if anyone was coming out during the roundup. So, we then conducted a search all over the city. But there was not a single clue. Ju Chu explained, wanting to shed tears.
When Geng Xiaofan was asking, Liu Fei'er and He Ping were also looking around in the ruins, and they also came over at this time.
"There shouldn't be anything useful here, let's go to the Governor's Mansion first." Geng Xiaofan was afraid that this ruins would hurt the two beauties.
"Husband, now it seems most likely that Zhen'er escaped over the wall. But why did he hide when he had escaped? Liu Fei'er also looked at the courtyard wall.
"He's not alone, maybe something happened, he can't get out. It's useless to be anxious at this time, so arrange for someone to look for it outside the city. Missing person notices were also posted. Geng Xiaofan sighed, turned around, and prepared to take the two of them away.
"Daddy! Don't you think this yard is a little weird? Heping didn't say anything, and when he saw that Geng Xiaofan was leaving, he stopped him.
"Strange? What's so weird? Geng Xiaofan looked at this square yard again, it was indeed very ordinary.
"I found that although the style of the houses in Shanggu is very different from that of Chang'an, the layout of the courtyards here is roughly the same, but there seems to be something missing here."
Geng Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, began to think about it, and quickly understood, "Well! Are you saying there are no wells here? ”
Hahei nodded.
"Heping, you can't be too rigid, you see that this courtyard is next to the pond, they can eat the water from the pond, there is no need to dig a well." Geng Xiaofan found an explanation, and then looked at Ju Chu again.
Ju Chu was very clever, and immediately understood what he meant, and quickly replied, "I asked the neighbors here, and this family does get water from the pond every day. ”
