Chapter 45: Solve the case within a time limit
Luo Feng and Qin Qiong followed Jia Runpu back to the barracks to take their lives.
Zhang Xutuo saw Qin Qiong and beckoned him very enthusiastically, "I know that you are the person who comes to the general's favor, but this official is also in urgent need of people now, so I will temporarily ask you to investigate and handle this case, and when this case is done, I will personally ask for credit from the general for you." ”
With his understanding and love for Qin Qiong, he admires Qin Qiong's talent very much, brave and strategic, young and promising. If Qin Qiong was really willing to stay under his command, he would even be willing to give him the position of commander of the county soldiers. It's just that he also knows that the brigade commander of the county soldiers is not very attractive to Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong has no official position now, it doesn't mean that he won't have it in the future, with his identity as a personal guard to protect his children, plus this ability, it is a matter of time before he comes out.
"The impact of the Zhishilang case is extremely bad, and now the people are panicking, if they can't take down this thief as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will make it even worse. Qin Qiong, Luo Wu, this official has given you two a month and a half to find out about this case. ”
"Report to the county, half a month is too short, even if the thieves are really committed by the people of this county, but the nine counties of this county, the place is so big, I am afraid that I will not be able to find out for a while, and the most afraid is that if someone from a neighboring state or county crosses the border to commit a crime, or if someone from this county crosses the border and hides after committing a crime, it will be even more difficult to trace."
Zhang Xutuo grimaced, "Okay, this official will give you another five days, and you will be given twenty days to find out about the case." ”
After talking again, Luo Feng and Qin Qiong said goodbye to Zhang Xutuo.
On the school ground, Jia Runpu had already ordered a team of fifty county soldiers to wait there.
"Brother Qin, Brother Luo, this is a team of county soldiers pulled out by the county, and since then they have assisted us in investigating the case, and if there is anything, just give orders."
Luo Feng looked over, the fifty county soldiers were all quite young, standing straight, with a blue robe, each with a spear, and each with a horizontal knife, and even if he looked closely, he could see that there was a group of ten people equipped with big shields, and a group of ten people equipped with crossbow machines.
It can be seen that this is by no means the standard configuration of ordinary county soldiers, this is a team of elites specially selected by Zhang Xutuo for him.
"Did you pull out the horse?" Luo Feng asked.
"There are no horses, but fifty big mules have been pulled, so there is no need to worry about chasing the thief."
The county soldiers of Qi County have no cavalry, only the personal guards under Zhang Xutuo are equipped with some war horses, and the team of people who are drawn to Luo Feng can be equipped with mules for travel is already very remarkable.
"Tell me, where to start first?" Jia Runpu asked.
"Team Deputy Jia, we have to think about this matter first, I and Team Deputy Luo think about it first, and then come back when we think about it." Qin Qiong said.
Seeing this, Jia Runpu said, "It's okay." He turned his head to one of the strong men in the team and said, "Brigadeist Zhao, you take people back to train first, and be on call at any time, and I and Qin Luo's two team deputies will discuss the plan of action first." ”
"Let's go."
Qin Qiong wanted to get rid of this one-armed strong man first, but he didn't expect him to be glued, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to take him back to Qin's Mansion first.
When I got home, I found one, and Luo Feng discussed it privately with Qin Qiong.
"What now?"
"Second brother, I didn't expect that I would drag you into the water, I'm really sorry."
"What does the family say about these two families, in fact, it is also beneficial for me to come, I always don't believe that it was Brother Wang who did the case, if I can find out the truth, it can be regarded as helping him." Qin Qiong paused, "Little Wu, I plan to go to Zouping first to meet Brother Wang in person." ”
"It's fine to see you, but you can't take the soldiers with you." Luo Feng suggested.
"But this deputy of the Jia team is not easy to leave."
"If you really can't do it, just take him with you, and no one can hinder anything."
So it was agreed at the moment to go to Zou Ping to see Wang Bo first. Whether it's him or not, you have to see and talk about it before you know it.
After eating, Qin Qiong told her mother about the secondment of Jun Cheng, Qin's mother was a little worried, but finally nodded, "Now the world is getting more and more unpeaceful, and I don't know what's going on, this Zhishilang robs grain and robs people, not a good person, you happen to be at home, help the family and place to do something, you should also check the thieves and catch the bandits, just be careful, don't be reckless." ”
"Uncle, don't worry, we are not investigating the case alone, Jun Cheng also pulled out a team of people. In addition, the second brother also told me just now that he planned to go to Zouping to find a senior to help. ”
Luo Feng took the opportunity to tell Jia Runpu that he was going to Zouping.
"What are you doing in Zouping? Is there a suspect in that? ”
"No, there is a senior in Zouping, who has served as Fa Cao of Qi County before, has a wide range of connections, rich experience, and has also given me guidance, our brothers plan to go to Qi County to find this senior first, and seek ideas from him, he has served as Fa Cao in Qi County, he knows many people, and he is very familiar with the nine counties of Qi County, maybe he can have some goals."
"Then I'll go with you." Jia Runpu said very politely.
"If Deputy Jia doesn't wait here first, it won't take a few days for us to go back and forth."
"Let's go along, I also want to visit that senior Facao."
"Okay then."
Packing up their luggage, the brothers were ready to go.
Luo Si and Zhao Gui, Zhou Xin and Xiao Liu, a few of them, are comfortable in Qinfu, they eat and drink well every day, how can they usually live such a life, they are a little happy.
Originally, Luo Feng didn't want to bring them, but he was afraid that they would cause trouble in the Qin Mansion, and then he thought about it, it would be good to bring them for a long time, after all, they have now become his helpers.
So, whether they liked it or not, Luo Feng asked them all to go with them.
When Luo Feng came, the seven people all went together, plus Qin Qiong and Jia Runpu, and a group of nine people rode to Zouping County.
There are 80 miles from Licheng to Zouping, but fortunately, it is not slow to ride a horse.
It's just that Luo Feng and their riding skills are not good, so Qin Qiong and Jia Runpu can only put down their speed, and help guide Qin Qiong along the way to teach them riding skills, hurry up and go slowly, and they also slept overnight on the way, and it took a day and a half to arrive in Zouping.
Zouping is bordered by the Yellow River in the north and Jishui in the south.
Behind it is Changbai Mountain.
During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this was the land of Zou Hou, and later in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Jinggong built the long Tu of Zou, and the east of Zou Pass was flat land, so it was called Zouping.
Immediately, Qin Qiong introduced Zouping County to Luo Feng.
"In the Qin period, it belonged to Linzi County, and it was located in Zouping County in the Western Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was incorporated into Linji County, to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the division of counties and counties here was chaotic, and after the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, it was moved to the Northern Qi Plain County in the third year of the opening of the emperor to the current Zouping County, and the six years of the opening of the emperor put Chaoyang County in Sucheng, changed to Linji County. ”
"It wasn't until the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign that Pingyuan County was changed to Zouping County, and the old name of the Han Dynasty was restored."
Luo Feng really doesn't know much about these things, but he also knows the origin of these chaos, after the end of the Jin Dynasty, the north and the south were in chaos, the world was turbulent, and Qi was between the Huang and Huai, almost the place where the north and the south were fighting.
The two sides repeatedly fought and occupied, so the state and county settings were chaotic, and then the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, the Sui Dynasty Zhou, the world was reunified, Emperor Wen of Sui withdrew the county and merged the state, and then Yang Guang abolished the state and restored the county, and the state and county continued to be streamlined.
For example, in the past, there were more than a dozen counties in Qi County, and even several prefectures and several counties were set up, but now all of them have been merged into Qi County, and only nine counties have been withdrawn, which can be said to be a relatively correct policy.
Geographically, Zouping is located at the intersection of the Taiyi Mountains in central Shandong and the Yellow Flood Plain in northern Shandong, with more hills and less flat land, which is a relatively remote and backward place.
Wang Bo's house is in Qingyangzhuang at the north foot of Changbai, Qingyangzhuang is Jishui in the north, Changbai Mountain in the south, and it is a good place to carry the water in the mountains.
And Luo Feng looked at this terrain, but he felt more and more that Wang Bo was Zhishilang.
