Chapter Eighty-Three: All the Witnesses Are Killed
Chang Zhutou and Mao Zhushu returned to Tokyo City from the homeless village in frustration, the road is not close, let alone to walk fifteen miles, although it is all flat land, but now the weather is hot, and you will be sweating profusely if you don't take a few steps. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
More than a dozen officials also complained that the weather was too bad, and they stopped three times on the way, and in the afternoon, they only walked half the way.
Just as he was about to walk on the official road, several horses flew in front of him, all dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, which looked like the outfit of the Imperial City Division.
When they got closer, one of the black-faced men shouted to Chang Zhutou, "The Imperial City Division is on an errand and has been ordered to take over the case of the attack on the homeless village by the party warriors, and I am tired of handing over the prisoners to us." ”
Saying that he had lost a piece of the Imperial City Division's duty token, Lao Chang really didn't want to participate in it, and he was more happy to make a difference, so he casually looked at the token and ordered the officials to count the bodies of the fourteen prisoners and Woli Yanjun and hand them over to the Imperial City Division.
Lao Chang Mao traveled lightly, and the Imperial City Division headed for another path. Seeing that they didn't take the big road, but drilled the small road, Lao Chang also asked strangely, "Take the big road, so that you can take care of each other!" ”
The Imperial City Secretary ignored him, and he was very stinky, "We have other official business, so don't leave it at that." ”
Isn't the Imperial City Division great? Who cares if you live or die! Lao Chang has never been so despised by others, and after a while, he turned his head angrily and left.
Walking out of more than a mile, Lao Mao smiled and said, "Lao Chang, don't stink a face, we are lucky to get rid of this burden." You must know that usually, the Imperial City Division's movements have never been so fast."
Lao Chang's heart trembled suddenly, and a chilling subconscious instantly enveloped his heart, and he suddenly turned back to look at the Imperial City Division.
He pointed to the distance with difficulty and said, "How did they ......?"
Lao Chang and Lao Mao shouted almost at the same time, "Not good! There was a problem with those people in the Imperial City Division just now! ”
A group of officials stared at each other, not knowing what was going on. But Lao Chang was so anxious that he discovered the flaws of these Imperial City Divisions.
First of all, how did they know about the Khitan warriors, this is what happened in the Wandering Village this morning, even if the Imperial City Division is well-informed, but no matter how fast it is, it is not so fast.
Secondly, under normal circumstances, the official way is the best choice from the perspective of safety. As a result, these guys sneaked down the trail? It's deliberately avoiding yourself.
As soon as Lao Chang patted the horse's neck, the horse immediately accelerated and chased after the path where the people from the Imperial City Division disappeared just now.
And Master Mao also followed with a pale face, chased to the small forest on the side of the road less than a mile away from the breakup, and saw from a distance that Lao Chang, who had arrived one step earlier, had collapsed to the ground.
All the corpses in the woods were all corpses, and none of the twelve party warriors, Lao Gou, and Li Qijin ran away, and all of them were executed by a sword seal.
After all, Master Mao was a civil official, and after frowning a little, he thought about it for a while, and said, "Lao Chang, we have been deceived!" ”
Lao Chang muttered, "Yes, they are not from the Imperial City Division, and they took a fake token to get by." Damn me, why didn't I check it out? ”
Master Mao hurriedly pulled him up and whispered in his ear, "They are from the Imperial City Division, and the token they took is also real, do you understand?" ”
Lao Chang came to his senses in an instant, yes, if it is fake, he and Master Mao will be unlucky. Now only by counting this account on the head of the Imperial City Division can the disaster be eliminated and evacuated.
It is clear that these people were instructed to come and kill them, and who would do the best to kill these prisoners? It must be the high level of the palace marshal's mansion.
As for why the other party was able to know in advance, it must be that the palace marshal's mansion also sent people to monitor the homeless village, and in the morning it was found that the party warriors had missed, and Lao Gou and Li Qijin were arrested. Therefore, the killer was arranged in advance, and he impersonated the Imperial City Division halfway to kill all these witnesses.
Chang Zhutou muttered, "What a ruthless heart, fourteen lives, all of them died in the blink of an eye!" ”
Master Mao was really ready to deal with the measures in his heart, and discussed with Chang Zhutou, "You and I will inform the headquarters separately that such a big case has occurred in the suburbs of Beijing, and it should be reported to Dali Temple." ”
Chang Zhutou also came back to his senses, nodded and said, "You and my subordinates are not allowed to disclose a word to the outside world without permission, otherwise they will be punished as co-defendants." First go to the Imperial City Division to negotiate. ”
Therefore, under the assignment of two professionals, the case of the fourteen people involved in the assassination of the homeless village is being blurred up among the various departments of the Great Song Dynasty.
Gao He made a decisive move this time, cut the grass and eradicated the roots, and avoided a catastrophe.
In the end, under the pressure of solving the case within a time limit, Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion randomly found a few cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods to make up for things.
-- Dividing line --
Lu Zhishen was also busy all day, and in the morning asked Zhang San to go to the warehouse of the West Gate of the Prison to receive equipment, and Li Si to go to Mu Huogang to receive two hundred war horses.
According to Lu Zhishen's intentions, the two thousand war horses were brought to Jinyintan, and Lin Chong thought about it again and again but did not agree.
"When we have cavalry and horsemen, it's not too late to lead them, let's get two hundred horses for training first, and the rest are stored in the Heavenly Prison, so that the court can help us raise them, and we don't have to pay for them ourselves."
Lu Zhi pondered that this is really the case, otherwise, just raising horses, feeding horses, and building a horse shed is a big expense.
Lu Zhishen rushed to Kaifeng Mansion early in the morning to find Sun Ding, and finally brought dozens of carpenters and stonemasons to Jinyintan and began to build large-scale construction.
Wood, stones, and all kinds of building materials were readily available, two hundred and fifty brand-new oilcloth tents, several large carts of grain, grass, vegetables, pigs and mutton, and a large number of utensils for the house.
Catch the head Shen Fang, catch the fast Pu Liang, as well as the local land security chief Shao Baochang and more than a dozen Baoding in Jinyintan, and hundreds of people and carts all respectfully came up to salute Lu Zhishen.
Lu Zhishen looked through and checked them one by one, there was no problem, waved his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Naturally, there was a stack of voices below, and I didn't dare to bear it.
According to the plan, Lu Zhishen estimated that the recruits would arrive at noon, so he first prepared the room, set up a tent, and let the family have a place to sleep and rest.
In the link of setting up the wall landmark, Lu Zhishen opened his mouth, and even coaxed and frightened, and insisted on dividing more than 3,000 acres of flat land near the river as a camp.
The head catcher, the fast catcher and the ground protection were dumbfounded and listened to what Lu Zhishen said, and they were powerless to refute the many reasons why the mountain battalion had set up isolation areas, health zones, lookout areas, and demonstration areas for military and civilian joint construction and assistance.
At the same time, Lu Zhishen also clearly told them that the mountain battalion was a special operations army built by the official family himself, and everything was strictly required. Therefore, Jinyintan is the territory of the Yuqian Mountain Camp, and the swamps, woods, rocky beaches and river beaches are all under military management as "military restricted areas".
These concepts were all told to Lu Zhishen by Lin Chong, in order to occupy such a large area of complex and diverse terrain and landforms, there must be an excuse. Therefore, it was for the convenience of Zhao Ji, the true dragon emperor, to move out openly, and they did not dare to confront the emperor.
