Chapter 233: The Heart Is Panicking
This era is the prosperous era of Qingping, and Chuqiu County can be regarded as a rich county, even if he used to fight for water or land in Qinghe Township, even if the neighbors fought for water or land, but never died, this gang of robbers not only robbed things but also killed them, a full family of five people!
On the other hand, the targets of this gang of robbers seem to be merchants from other states, which can explain why Chuqiu County has become more and more closed and backward over the years, and one of the biggest reasons is that in this gang of robbers, people from outside cannot enter, which is equivalent to cutting off the momentum of development, which is what the entire people of Chuqiu do not want to see.
For public and private, this 'swarm of bees' must be eliminated!
Early the next morning, as soon as Fan Ming entered the gate of the county school, he saw the students gathering in twos and threes to discuss something, Fan Ming stepped forward to listen, but it was yesterday's murder, Fan Ming's heart sank, he didn't expect this matter to spread so quickly.
I only heard one student say: "Have you heard, that 'swarm of bees' is like a ghost, and they kill people without seeing blood!" ”
Another student was even more scared, "Who said it wasn't, listen to my father, this swarm of bees was famous in the early years, picking out foreign businessmen, killing people and goods, and no one has been able to kill them all these years." ”
Earlier, a student said: "Fortunately, they only pick merchants from other places, if they want to go to the city to commit crimes, then how can it be good." ”
As soon as his voice fell, a student next to him was suddenly startled, "Don't scare people, there are so many tolerances in our city, what are they ...... Where do you dare! ”
The previous person was obviously not confident enough to speak, and someone immediately answered: "Why don't you dare, I heard my father say that I ...... at the beginning"
Listening to the conversation of these students, Fan Ming's brows furrowed more and more, it seems that the impact of the matter has reached a very serious point, even the county school students who mainly focus on "high knowledge and high literacy" have spread the word, you can imagine how powerful the rumors outside are, and what worries Fan Ming even more is that this is probably deliberate.
As soon as he finished eating at noon, Fan Ming arrived at the yamen without stopping for a moment, obviously the impact of this murder has spread to every corner, although no one is talking about anything, but he can clearly feel that the atmosphere is a little different, not only the officials are talking, but even the subordinates are moving around significantly less.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Fan Ming called Lao Zhang to the official room and asked, "Are you there?" ”
Lao Zhang had known about the murder for a long time, and he also understood the seriousness of the matter, and the smile on his face on weekdays was also put away, and he replied: "My lord has been here for a long time, and I don't know how many times I have walked back and forth in the official room in the morning. ”
Fan Ming frowned, on weekdays, Wang Zhixian looked calm and relaxed, and it seemed that this matter really made him a little anxious to make him so out of shape, "What about County Lieutenant Hong, are you just waiting here?" ”
"What about that!" The city gate was on fire, and Lao Zhang's heart was also a little worried, and he could no longer gloat as he did in the infighting in the yamen, "The lord died, and the county lieutenant Hong also blushed, and early in the morning, he gathered the trappers in the entire yamen with Kuaishou, etc., and roared with whips, didn't they all go out to search for people." ”
"Searching for people?" Fan Ming shook his head, how could he find this headless and brainless, waved his hand and asked Lao Zhang to retreat, thinking in his heart whether to go to Wang Zhixian's house at this juncture.
Sure enough, as imagined, the impact of this murder was beyond the expected range, a few lives are not an ordinary trivial matter, even if the county lieutenant Hong made a death order to arrest this group of crazy thieves, but there were still no clues, until the afternoon when the shift was about to end, the county lieutenant Hong sent a catcher back to report the errand, Fan Ming also understood in his heart that the county lieutenant Hong did not want to see Wang Zhixian's angry face.
The matter did not settle, and the entire Chuqiu County Ya was impetuous, that is, in this afternoon, Fan Ming knew that Wang Zhixian, who had always been elegant, would also scold people, and while his mouth burst into foul language, the tea cup in his hand also fell heavily on the ground and shattered piece by piece, so that the best set of Ru kiln tea sets in the Chuqiu County Yagong was incomplete.
In the sound of the tea cup shattering, Wang Zhixian watched the arrester who came back to report the news out of the office, this gang of thieves is too rampant! After gasping for a few breaths, he tried his best to suppress the anger and anger in his heart before he said in a deep voice: "Fan Ming, you will go to Yingtianfu and take my seal to see Lord Shen of the Inspection Division." ”
The trapper just now was brought in by Fan Ming, because he knew that the trapper was coming back to report the news of a swarm of bees, and seeing that Wang Zhixian didn't let him out, he stayed.
Listening to the capture of the swarm of bees still without the slightest news, Fan Ming's mind naturally came to mind the hidden worries of the day, this gang of robbers did not make trouble sooner or later, and the time to start active was just stuck at the beginning of this business road, if it was a coincidence, this is really too coincidental.
The swarm of bees itself is nothing, after all, there are bandits and strongmen in states and states, although it is not surprising that they are a little fierce, but this does not leave the slightest trace but makes him feel a little puzzled, and it is not a few words, Wang Bazhi can be arrested as soon as he is angry, and the actual situation is far more complicated than imagined. But what made Fan Ming's heart heavy was that the swarm of people who came was not good, who did they come for?
Although he didn't want to admit it, Fan Ming clearly realized that judging from the information revealed by the current swarm of bees, it seemed to be a little bit of evidence of his hidden worries.
It's just that with Wang Zhixian's current state, it's not a good time to say these things. Besides, he also needs time to sort things out well, so that when he really wants to speak, he can explain the doubts as concisely and clearly as possible.
"Okay, I'll go now", Fan Ming agreed and walked out, Wang Zhixian told Fan Ming to go out at the same time, but after walking three or four steps, he suddenly paused again. "Slow".
Fan Ming stopped, turned around and saw Wang Zhixian contemplating his eyebrows, so he didn't speak and waited quietly, and after a while, he suddenly heard him shake his head and say: "It's not appropriate, Ying Tianfu is not suitable to go now, you go to Heshi first to appease and appease those merchants from other states!" As he spoke, he walked back to the bookcase, "By the way, let Lao Zhang send a proclamation, and this matter is forbidden to be publicized." ”
Naturally, there is no need for Wang Zhixian to say this kind of thing, and the people in the yamen will strictly keep their mouths, but they don't know that this matter has spread throughout the entire Chuqiu County, of course, what should be done is still to be done, and he nodded immediately, "I'll go and tell Lao Zhang." ”
