Gu Feng immediately devoted himself to official business, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived! The grain money that has not been requisitioned must be urged, the backlog of cases must be decided in court, and the shortage of military rations and the shortage of grain, cotton, firewood, and grass for the people to survive the winter must be urgently resolved.

First of all, the method used in Langzhong County was used to let the people go to the mountains to find food, chicken, fish, meat and eggs, fruits, wild vegetables, mushrooms and pine nuts, including firewood, and the army was transferred out to protect the people into the mountains to gather and hunt.

At the same time, Gu Feng called the silver taels in the treasury of Langzhong County to send 500 local troops in Langhou County, called the regimental training camp. This army was led by an additional commissar from the military attache of Jiupin, whose surname was Li, and the assistant adjutant was a Baichang surnamed Liu.

After concocting the same method and protecting the people for a while, the army also harvested a lot of delicious food and drink, and then took a holiday in batches, and the soldiers were happy.

After that, it would be much easier for Gu Feng to order people to urge taxes and collect grain.

opened the court to ask about the case, but I didn't expect that the first big case that Gu Feng took over was the case of a missing child. This small Langhou county has a population of only tens of thousands, and hundreds of men, women, and children have disappeared in a row in just half a year.

Gu Feng went to investigate the field for a few days and found a roughly the same situation, that is, the parents of the lost children are very regular and good-looking, and some can be described as beautiful and beautiful. Even if the family is poor, it does not look vulgar and sloppy. Presumably, the lost children are also smart and beautiful.

"Is this a group of unconscionable people abducting people? Where to sell it? This reminds Gu Feng of the many cases he handled in his life, including human trafficking, and even murder and sale of children's organs, which is really outrageous. In the Ming Dynasty, there would be no people who sold organs, there should be people who sold children.

Gu Feng slowly checked it.

Unexpectedly, when interrogating the murder of a female owner of the Nanhu Flower Boat so soon, he caught clues about theft and child abduction.

The Huachuan murder case happened before Gu Feng came, and it was investigated by the famous criminal master Liu of Langhou County and Zhang Zhutou, but the case has not been solved.

Gu Feng led people to the flower boat sealed in a corner of the dock by the South Lake, according to the case records in the case file, this boat was the first scene of the murder, and the murder weapon was an ordinary sharp knife used to slaughter livestock.

Zhang Zhutou pointed out to the place where the female boss who was killed by Gu Feng fell to the ground, and the place where the murder weapon was picked up. It turned out that the murder weapon was pierced in the corner of the inner door, and when Gu Feng was walking from the boat to the door, he tripped under his feet, so he squatted down and found that the wooden planks at the bottom of the cabin were uneven, with arches and cracks staggered, and it was easy to stumble on tiptoe when walking on it.

Gu Feng repeatedly walked and ran from the place where the victim was lying to the door of the boat, and speculated that the murderer was tripped under his feet when he fled in a panic after the murder, and the knife in his hand was thrown and dropped, and it was pierced on the wooden board with the tip pointing down.

"Sir! That is to say, the murderer did not want to leave the murder weapon, but he accidentally fell and could not find it for a while, so he had to run away. Master Liu suddenly woke up, and he could infer that the murderer and the victim might know each other, and the murderer was not too far away, and he failed to deduce these during the investigation of the case.

"There's another thing, I don't know, Master Liu has noticed? Although this sharp knife is very ordinary and no different from other slaughtering sharp knives, its owner does not have many opportunities to use it, or it has not been used for a long time, because there are not too many oil stains and sludge in the gap between the handle and the steel knife. ”

"Huh? The master is taught! The subordinates only noticed the color of the sharp knife and the wooden handle, and it was no different from the knife used by other people! Master Liu was obviously a little nervous, Gu Feng didn't blame him, he and Li Dianshi and Zhang Zhutou's conscientious performance made Gu Feng very praised.

Gu Feng smiled and said, "Master Liu doesn't have to blame yourself, you have done a good job!" It's up to the county to solve this case on your behalf! You and Zhang Zhutou quickly led people to inform the butchers of the county that they would report to the martial arts field in front of the county government tomorrow to help the county kill pigs and sheep, and the county would reward the county's big landowners and wealthy businessmen. ”

"Sir, do you want to ...... A big treat? Not only did the two of them who obeyed the order not understand, but the others present were also stunned, and they didn't understand the true meaning of the county master's words.

Gu Feng didn't explain much, just waved his hand and asked them to carry out the order!

Then, Gu Feng continued to investigate the situation of the owner's family of the flower boat. This is a river wharf, with shore inns and warehouses almost next to each other, and ships come and go endlessly. At the intersection of this busy water and land transportation, due to the large flow of passengers and goods, it is natural to have some places for guests to drink, taste tea, listen to songs, and even play Fengyue.

The slain female boss is the proprietress of this flower boat that combines drinking, drinking tea, listening to small songs, and sightseeing at close range, a local, who has been operating here for many years. According to the neighbor businessman, the female boss's name was Fang Fang, who was 30 years old and beautiful. On weekdays, Fang Fang and her husband took a few male and female employees to do business on the ship, and then docked the ship to go home on the third watch.

Fang Fang has a pair of children, handsome, smart and cute, all of whom are taken by the child's grandmother and grandfather, and occasionally come to play on the flower boat for a while.

A woman who traveled with Fang Fang and had a good relationship said that on the night Fang Fang was killed, she also collected the boat and returned home on the third watch, but soon, she saw Fang Fang returning to the boat alone, and she only thought that Fang Fang had something to forget, so she didn't care, but she didn't expect to hear that Fang Fang was killed on her own flower boat the next day.

Gu Feng and Liu Qing found a flower boat to sit by the window and drink tea, while Yuni and Yuhu sat in a tea shed on the shore and watched them from afar.

While listening to people's chat, Gu Feng noticed a person's name, Cheng Sanqiu. Some people say that he has the most ships on this wharf, "In the past, he would berth here for three days a month, and then take one cargo, but last month he stopped for one day and took two cargoes at the same time." It's only been half a month since both ships came back, and it seems that the business is getting bigger and bigger......"

"Yes! It should be very profitable, but no one knows what kind of business he is doing. ”

"Just two cargo ships take turns to go, can you still not see what cargo is loading and unloading?" The tea guests sitting next to him were also curious and careful, so they asked.

"What you can see this time is a few baskets of herbs, next time it may be a few boxes of melons and fruits, and the next time it may be a few bags of tea...... But there were always a few wooden boxes that were covered with black cloth and carried onto the ship. ”

Gu Feng and Liu Qing exchanged glances, and the two of them claimed to be foreign merchants to talk to those tea customers. learned from the tea guests that Cheng Sanqiu's cargo ship and his own location, and they quickly rushed over to find Cheng Sanqiu's two cargo ships, which were empty at this time, and did not see Cheng Sanqiu himself. So Gu Feng decided to "squat in the pit" here, just to sit and wait for Cheng Sanqiu.

"Senior brother, master! We're here to be officials...... Why don't you hurry up and ask the case, why wait for such a businessman? ”

Gu Feng smiled and said patiently to his senior brother: "I am just handling government affairs and asking questions...... I suspect that Fang Fang's murder has anything to do with this Cheng Sanqiu, even if it doesn't matter, Cheng Sanqiu's business has problems. ”

"This, how is this possible?"

"Is there a relationship, is there a problem, can't we make it clear if we go and inquire?"

So the two of them, still in the name of business, walked over to inquire about the others. Suddenly, seeing someone coming down from Cheng Sanqiu's cargo ship, Gu Feng hurriedly caught up. The person who came was dressed sloppily and had an obscene image, and the ancient style judged that it could not be Cheng Sanqiu.

Gu Feng smiled and shouted: "Boss Cheng is rich!" Does Boss Cheng still receive the goods? ”

The man straightened his waist and glared at Gu Feng with triangular eyes, and said, "Is it alive or dead?" ”
