Walking on the overpass, Xu Ding soon arrived in Lelang County and came to the place where Zaoyi finally disappeared.

Ten days and eight days have passed, and there are very few clues left.

The shrewd catchers and forensic talents who were in charge of the investigation from various states and counties have regrouped here.

"I've seen the prince!" Everyone saluted and greeted each other, Xu Ding made a pressing gesture, and then said, "Report to me all the news you have collected recently or the problems you have discovered." ”

Jumping down from Wangcai, Xu Ding whispered to him: "Wangcai, you think that the scripture is a mature tiger, you must learn to solve the case by yourself and ......smell it."

Everyone twitched from their faces, Master Hou, are you serious?

Let Wangcai do the dog's work, and it's been ten or eight days, and the clues and smells left behind have long since dissipated.

However, Wangcai didn't care about their strange gazes, he just raised his head at Huang Fei, and then looked for the remaining clues by himself.

As Xu Ding said, he thought that the scripture was a mature tiger, and he had to learn to find work on his own.

It is no ordinary tiger now, but an evolved version of the saber-toothed tiger that has been upgraded several times by its owner.

It has a lot of skills, stupid humans, you are not as wise as your master, and you don't know my horrors.

Wangcai did his own work, Xu Ding listened to everyone's reports, and then began to draw pictures on white paper.

Three-dimensional portraits of the motive for the crime, the perpetrator's drawing, and the direction of the escape.

Everyone couldn't understand it, and they could only see a bunch of ghost talismans.

Soon Wangcai came over, stretched out his front paws and patted the northeast direction.

Xu Ding glanced at Wangcai, then tore off the painting and said to everyone: "There are only ten bandits, they should be heading towards Andong County, let's go to Yichuan to have a look!" ”

Found it so quickly.

Everyone looked at each other, isn't this too child's play.

This tiger is really going against the sky, or does Hou Ye have any news earlier.

Looking at Wangcai's huge body as strong as a horse and a pair of long fangs, everyone became more and more awe and curiosity.

I've heard of Wangcai's name for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to meet each other, but I didn't expect that the first time I saw it was to solve the case.

After a short walk, Cheng Yu came over with someone.

The incident happened under his rule, and he was originally responsible, but now that Xu Ding is here in person, Pingzhou is indeed derelict in his duties.

"The lord heard that there is a direction?" Cheng Yu stepped forward and asked, "Does the lord need to block Andong County?" ”

Xu Ding shook his head and said: "Zhongde doesn't need it, that will startle the snake, but let the bandits find us in advance, and we can just enter Andong County quietly."

By the way, you don't have to worry about this, go and get busy with you, government affairs are important. ”

Cheng Yu said: "The lord's current government affairs are not as important as the affairs of the farmers, and the autumn harvest is basically over, the harvest is being counted in various places, and the collection is out of collection, and the specific submission has not yet been summarized in the state, and now I am also idle." ”

There are only four counties in Pingzhou, and the management is very easy.

Cheng Yu has been doing the history of Pingzhou Thorn for so long, and he has long been familiar with any business.

Perhaps the only thing that matters at the moment is that the construction of the railway continues to extend to the south, and the erection of roads and bridges needs to be supervised.

Xu Ding thought for a moment, then waved his hand to let the others step back, and let Cheng Yu ride on the claw Huang Feidian and Wangcai side by side.

"Is Zhongdeping Prefecture too small, do you need to expand a few counties?" Xu Ding asked.

Cheng Yu is an old man who follows, and Cheng Yu should also be promoted according to his merits, and he can't stay in Pingzhou all the time.

Zhang Zhao proposed to split the Handong Metropolitan Protectorate, and split Jilin County, Heilongjiang County, and the Handong Governor's Mansion.

In addition to the special location of Liaodong County, Xu Ding felt that it was necessary to integrate.

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said: "The lord is not suitable for now, the current location of the state capital is just to manage the four counties, if Liaodong County and Jilin County are included, then the state capital will have to be in Lelang County or Liaodong County."

This is not only not conducive to the control of the two southern counties, but also to the management of the two northern counties.

Liaodong and Lelang are both connected to the grasslands, and it is necessary to carry out external defense and increase the garrison, and the strategic position of Pingzhou as an inward-looking rear base has to be changed, which invisibly increases the difficulty of management, and the handling of problems cannot be done in a timely manner, and it is easy to delay the military situation, which is not good. “

Xu Dingyi thought about it, and it was really the same as what Cheng Yu said.

Liaodong County and Jilin County are both border counties, and they need to deal with urgent affairs more efficiently, so if they still have to go to the state capital in the east to ask for instructions, it is better to walk a few more steps directly to Weiyuan Island.

"In this case, then Zhongde, you should prepare for the handover, you will go to Youzhou before the New Year, and Youzhou will need you then."

…………

After entering Handong County, Wangcai became more and more excited.

"Looks like they're coming in here for a good time." Xu Ding immediately instructed his subordinates: "Go and find out who in these few people has bought a large amount of coal and transported it to the outside of the city, as well as materials for the winter."

And the strange faces that have appeared, and which nearby mountains have caves and strange things that have happened recently. ”

His men immediately went to contact the local officials and militia villages.

Xu Dingze said to Wangcai: "Wangcai, can you accurately locate which mountain?" ”

Wangcai nodded and whistled softly.

After upgrading Wangcai back then, Xu Ding could understand the tiger language, so Xu Ding rode Wangcai alone and set off to follow the traces in a certain direction.

After walking for a day, Wangcai suddenly roared towards the hill in front of him.

Suddenly, the entire valley reverberated with the roar of a prosperous tiger.

In a cave in the mountains, Zaoyu, who was in reverie with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Why is this sound so familiar?"

Some of the bandits guarding him walked out of the cave with their weapons in their hands, poked a few glances down the mountain, and then said:

"Doesn't it mean that there are no fierce beasts on this mountain? How can there be the sound of a big bug! ”

"Do you want to send someone to take a look, if it's really a big worm, kill it for a different taste."

"I don't want to live, is the big insect so easy to kill? Hugh has to be troubled, keep it well! ”

"Yes!"

The smell of jujube is getting stronger and stronger, and there are no villagers or cultivated land around.

However, Xu Dingyi found traces of people walking on the gentle slope leading to the mountain, and looking at this trace, there have been frequent activities recently.

"Xiao Huang stays, Wangcai and I go up the mountain, we will meet this gang of thieves." Jumped off the tiger's back and patted Paw Huang Feidian, Paw Huang Feidian understood the meaning, turned around and went down the mountain to hide.

Wangcai followed the trail of wading out to climb up the mountain, Xu Ding followed, took off the longbow, mounted the arrow, and walked from the dense grass step by step.

A man and a tiger were vigilant on the mountain, unsure if the robbers would have a sentry and would monitor the way up the mountain.

After walking for a long time, Xu Ding and Wangcai finally found the cave, a cave hidden under a shrub and pine tree, the mountain pass opened to the north of the cave, and the two sides of the cave entrance were moist and dripping with water.

Obviously, this mountain is not the highest, and there are even higher mountains nearby.

The traces of the activities of the people at the entrance of the cave are more obvious, and there are also deliberately disguised covers.

Everything points to the fact that this is the land of the Tibetans.

Xu Ding opened his bow like the moon, holding the tail of the arrow and preparing to take a look at the cave vigilantly, and it was dark and faint inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"There are no dates here, no one in it!" Wangcai suddenly said in a deep tiger voice.

"No one! Suspicious! Xu Ding frowned, then pointed an arrow, and the longbow pointed at the miscellaneous trees and bushes above his head with an arrow.

The arrows flew away, and the next moment a scream rang out.

Then several black shadows jumped down from above, swords, short knives, and stabs slashed at Xu Ding.
