"You, after all, are still too young and too realistic! Do you think this is really a murder case, there is a lot of knowledge in it, just for me not to be held accountable, and I will do my best to arrest it! Hong Deshan turned around and patted Fan Ming's shoulder when he raised his feet and wanted to go, "You are young and have a good brain, and you have entered the county school, and now you can be regarded as having a lot of help, if you can understand these truths earlier, you will be better than me and your father in the future. Think about it."

After Hong Deshan finished speaking, he slapped Fan Ming twice on the shoulder again, and then turned around. Seeing his figure disappear into the night of the distant street, Fan Ming didn't move for a long time.

Fiction and reality, truth and falsehood, for the first time in this public door made Fan Ming blurred, for Fan Ming, everything he learned in the past seemed to have become illusory at this moment, and he had never had so many variables as today. Can these enemies of life and death be interchangeable? The distance is so far away, but it seems to be close at hand, it seems that as long as you pierce that layer of paper, the world will also change.

Standing on the cross street paved with granite outside the yamen, Fan Ming was silent for a long time before he began to walk towards his residence again.

When Fan Ming returned to his residence, Yue'er had already jumped onto the treetops, and the people waiting for him at the gate were still looking out at Xiangxue, "I heard that something happened to the yamen, is it true?" ”。 Fan Ming squeezed Xiangxue's hand, and his thoughts finally came out of this big case, and there was a spontaneous and real warmth in his heart, and he nodded and responded heavily, "Huh? ”。

"Look at you, don't be tired, your body is important." , Because it was getting late, Xiangxue could only see his face clearly if she was as close to Fan Ming as possible, "This face is a little white."

Hearing this, Fan Ming, who took Xiangxue's hand and walked home, replied with a smile: "It's okay, let's go back!" ”。

During this period of time, many aspects of Fan Ming's life have changed a little compared to before, and the originally prepared plan to lead the snake out of the hole was forced back to his heart by Hong Deshan's words, this discomfort is not something that ordinary people can feel, especially watching the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping all over the city makes him a little sad.

Since Wang Zhixian and Hong Deshan had a meeting that day, the county chief arrester took two team leaders to search all over the city early the next morning.

With the prestige accumulated over the years, as well as the cooperation of the local archers mobilized by the elders of various townships, Hong Deshan has really made some gestures and made some achievements, at least the splashing skin in the city has almost completely disappeared, and even the usual fights and petty thefts have not happened, these few days can be said to be the most 'peaceful' days in Chuqiu County in the past ten years. But that's all they can do, and if they don't find clues, they can't completely find out the swarm of bandits.

Also in the county office. Fan Ming can also learn from Lao Zhang that there is no progress in the method of exploring other ways, the swarm of bees is too deep to hide, plus the internal thief to ventilate the news, even the roots/hairs can not be found at all, Ren is team leader led people to visit the city to see a swarm of witnesses, and did not find the clues in hope or evidence that can point to some clues, but instead sat on the swarm of bees to escape the sky.

During this period, Fan Ming was also entangled in whether to get involved, but Hong Deshan's words were always circling in his mind, how could it be his turn to intervene in the affairs of this prison, and he had just reached a peace agreement with Bu County Cheng some time ago, if he participated in it now, wouldn't this be the same as Hong Deshan said, did he really make up his mind to tear his face?

Unless he can end a swarm of bees in one fell swoop, maybe there is still a fifty percent chance, as long as he doesn't catch the mastermind, I believe that Yibu County's ability will not implicate himself.

As time passed, there was still no news from the swarm, and things seemed to be getting more and more anxious, and the bloodshot in Wang Zhixian's eyes became more and more......

It was in this situation that Hong Deshan applied for it, and Wang Zhixian immediately issued a report on Ying Tianfu's request to inspect and take over, and officially handed over the case to Ying Tianfu for disposal, and the scapegoat was a group that moved from the northwest region in the Monkey Valley in the far suburbs of Chuqiu County.

To say that the number of people in this Hui is not much, about 100 or so people, the origin, habits are unknown, a few years ago moved to the lower reaches of Bianshui dozens of miles away from the county seat, usually less contact with the locals, just from time to time to exchange some goods, because of the language barrier, independent of the jurisdiction of the government, these years the upper echelons of Chuqiu are unstable, plus this Hui is also smooth, but An An stayed in the Monkey Valley and never exceeded the rules, so he didn't care too much, this time it was an excuse to submit him to Wanghua.

On the day of the report, Chuqiu Yamen could not be idle, under the instruction of Wang Zhixian, all things were carried out with great fanfare, in order to make the momentum bigger, in order to divert people's attention from the swarm of bees these days, to prepare grain and grass, guards, as well as mobilize manpower, husband service, etc., when the time comes, the inspection of the people and horses can immediately participate in the appeasement, Hong Deshan also personally presided over the simple training of the earth archers with the help of several forbidden troops (equivalent to retirement, because of old age and infirmity or injury and demoted to the box army). After all, this is a great event for Chu Qiu.

Within a few days, Ying Tianfu's decree came down, and as expected, it was still told to give priority to Zhao'an, which probably meant that Chu Qiu would slow down the sword soldiers, and the inspection envoy would send someone to Chu Qiu to act cheaply depending on the situation.

The matter must come down, not only is there a lot of blood in Wang Zhixian's eyes, but even Fan Ming seems to feel that the stone in his heart is a lot lighter, maybe as long as this gang is returned to Zhao'an, the murder case will be over like this, but it is impossible to say that there is no worry at all, if Bu Xiancheng recklessly let this swarm of bees come out to commit the crime again, it will not be a face-saving yes, this is equivalent to a means to cut off the way of life.

Although this is clear to everyone's heart, but the arrow has to be sent, the matter has been successfully transferred to the Hui Hui, as long as this Hui Hui Shun or extermination, the negative impact of some time ago will be eliminated, and the real swarm of things will slowly come to think of a way, at present, this is the best way to deal with it.

Half a month later, the patrol finally arrived, but only three people came, a regimental training deputy envoy with two personal soldiers, which made Wang Zhixian a little dumbfounded, according to the meaning of this regiment training deputy envoy This army is not more than a hundred people, in vain to use the words of the Xiang army to hurt the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty, under his command to the county in the capture, fast hand fellow townsman archers are enough to collect this return.

Now that the matter has been settled, there is no possibility of regretting it, and on this day, it is still hard to take the plunge, this matter Wang Zhixian has completely handed over to the inspection and Hong Deshan, thinking that it is just a return of more than a hundred or ten people, and there should be no problem with dozens of captors and one hundred and ten earth archers.

Two days later, the brigade began to pull out, to the Monkey Valley, Wang Zhixian and Fan Ming with a group of villagers held at the gate of the city, wishing the flag a victory, a moment of thunder and drums, it is this burst of cheers that made Wang Zhixian's confidence a lot. However, Fan Ming had a faint uneasiness in his heart, and he couldn't tell why, but it really existed.

Looking at the back of Hong Deshan and the others, he seemed to see some illusions between reality and reality, mixed with a lot of tragic slashing, seeing this, Fan Ming couldn't help but close his eyes, and secretly said in his heart: I hope this is not true.

Sure enough, what are you afraid of, a few days later, not only was Hong Deshan's first appeasement failed, but also due to the transfer of manpower, there was a swarm of bees in the city, although it did not cause great losses, but the scene still left an iron sheet with a special mark, this day Fan Ming heard the sound of breaking the tea bowl in Wang Zhixian's official room.

Time and place pressure. The case has not been solved, but the matter of this trick has not been settled, the pressure of the official warehouse and the unstable pressure of the people's hearts have accumulated towards Wang Zhixian in waves, and the haggard color on his face is becoming more and more obvious, and his temper is becoming more and more hot. Fan Ming ate a few times and didn't say anything, and on a rainy afternoon, Wang and Bu, who had been indifferent, finally broke out into the first verbal conflict, and the cause could even be negligible.

With a shallow layer of bloodshot in his eyes, Wang Zhixian returned to the official room with a gray face, and the errand he gave was to ask Fan Ming to inform the preparation of the carriage and horses, and set off for the Monkey Valley early tomorrow morning.

Things have come to this point, and as time passes, day by day. Wang Zhixian couldn't sit still in the county government anymore.

Song Dynasty local security patrol system

The division of labor in the patrol area of the local patrol officers in the Song Dynasty was closely related to the adjustment of the division of duties and powers between the two. At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the county lieutenant was responsible for "rural thieves fighting and litigation", and naturally the county lieutenant also took the countryside as the main patrol area; In the early Song Dynasty, the security of the city could be maintained by the troops stationed in various places, so the jurisdiction of the early Song Dynasty inspection was very uncertain. For example, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Tian Qinzuo was appointed as the inspection envoy of Yin, Xia, Sui, and Youdu, Cao Keming was the inspection envoy of Wen, Taiwan and other seven prefectures, Wei Zhen was the inspector of eight prefectures such as Lu and Shou, and Ma Zhijie was the inspection envoy of Yizhou and Han Kyushu.

The period of Song Shenzong was an important period for the reform of the local security patrol system in the Song Dynasty. There are two reasons for this: first, in the process of exploring and improving the armor protection system, local officials have become an important task of Baoding, thus extensively mobilizing the people's forces and making patrols a mass work; Second, at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there were very few local inspections that were responsible for maintaining local law and order. With the increase in the number of local inspections, the Song Dynasty adjusted the layout of local security forces, and inspections became an important local security agency, and shared part of the work of the original county governors.
