Chapter 133: Finding out the news
Walking out of the Hui Building, Gao Feng went straight to the county office, he wanted to find out the news of Hejia Villa, and of course going there was the best way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When he came to the county office, Gao Feng saw two officials on duty, and there were no personnel coming and going.
I came once, and it was a celebrity in the county, so the official naturally knew the peak. Gao Feng asked who was the head of the county, and the answer was that the county was on a business trip, and Lord Gu was there.
After letting the official report, Gao Feng was taken to a meeting room. The living room is furnished with a sofa and coffee table presented by Gao Feng, which is simple and bright, comfortable and natural.
Gao Feng drank tea and waited, and after a while, he heard Gu Zheng's voice coming: "Gao Gongzi, are you here, I have been thinking about sending someone to invite you these days?" ā
Gao Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he really couldn't remember what Gu Zheng was looking for him. Gu Zheng had already entered the living room, he hurriedly got up and saluted Gu Zheng and said: "I've seen the adult, the adult is still bothering in his busy schedule, it really shouldn't be, what is the matter with the adult?" ā
Gu Zheng waved his hand to signal Gao Feng to sit down, and after he sat down, he said bluntly: "Since the salt mine came out, I have written to the court and stated your strategy outline, hoping to get the support of the court. ā
Speaking of this, Gu Zheng glanced at Gao Feng, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The first thing is that the salt mine is a big matter, and I ask if I need to send troops to garrison it. I discussed it with Wang Xiancheng, and the original intention was that there was no need to send troops, after all, the world was peaceful, and we were located in a stable environment, so there was no need to waste that resource. It's just that there have been two major fires recently, which made us hesitate again. ā
"Two fires?" Knowing that there were these two cases, and they were both related to him, Gao Feng still stopped Gu Zheng and asked, he was here to find out the news, how could he let it pass?
"Yes, ten days ago, a small wooden house near Yongning Temple in the north of the city caught fire and burned four people to death, and last night there was another fire in the He family manor at the foot of Huashan Mountain in the south of the city, burning twenty-one people to death. These two cases are no accident and are being investigated by the government. Gu Zheng said without concealment.
Gu Zheng knew that there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, as long as someone with a heart could understand the situation with a little inquiry, he didn't know if he said it.
"Do you have a clue?" Gao Feng asked as if he was surprised, but in fact he was very uneasy.
"There are some clues." Gu Zheng said.
Hearing this, knowing that the other party had no doubts about him, Gao Feng still palpitated in his heart.
Gu Zheng continued: "However, the clues are all focused on the people who were burned to death. ā
"What do you mean by that?" Gao Feng let go of half of his heart, but still asked.
"In the case of Chengbei, after repeated investigations, it was learned that the deceased were four bandits who had been committing crimes all year round, and the government had announced that they had not been arrested for many years, and they seemed to have been killed and burned in the north of the city, so the death method was also deserved."
Gu Zheng continued: "The case in the south of the city is even more bizarre, twenty-one people are all burned in one room, and there are knife marks on their bodies, and there are traces of murder in the courtyard, this matter is naturally to burn the body after the killing, but who has the ability to kill so many people at one time? What's more, these people also deserve to die, and it has been ascertained, especially the He family and other victims who came to testify, they are also a group of habitual bandits who have been evil for many years. We suspect the same person in both cases, but who could it be? ā
"Could it be some chivalrous hero? Otherwise, why did he choose these bad guys to kill? Gao Feng led to the left.
"It's not that this possibility, if that's the case, I'm relieved, but I'm afraid it's not, in case someone with ulterior motives does it, in order to divert the attention of the government, it will be troublesome." Gu Zheng said with great concern.
"What is its purpose?" Gao Feng asked.
"I don't know for the time being, even for the sake of the salt field in the north of the city, I won't do this, but such a big thing happened in the county, and I am still a little worried about the security in the county, so I am still hesitant to hire soldiers." Gu Zheng still said with a worried face.
"I don't think adults need to worry about that. Although there are no formal troops, but the county government has conscripts, you can temporarily recruit some for training, now that the agricultural season has passed, even if all the township security training conscripts are not inappropriate, this move can not only improve the county's border defense, but also assist in the collection of thieves and bandits, so the best of both worlds is not much better than just stationing a few soldiers? Gao Feng decisively launched his own proposal.
His suggestion was naturally selfish. The Baojia Army has been established, but because there is no nod from the government, it is still not justified, and if it is legitimized by this east wind, it will save a lot of trouble.
Gu Zheng nodded: "This is a good idea, although the conscripts do not have much combat power, they can play a deterrent role, their training can be divided among the various guarantees, for this the county government can save a lot of manpower and material resources, but such a large-scale formation, it does require a lot of procedures, if you wait for the approval of the court, I don't know what year and month it will take?" I'm afraid I can't wait. ā
"It can be divided into two steps, one is to form a group in the name of maintaining public order and protecting the salt farms, which can be sporadically distributed in several key areas of the county, and its scale is not large, and the county government should have this authority; The second is to report for approval, and then implement it on a large scale after the approval is issued, so that adults can sit back and relax. Gao Feng replied.
"It's a wonderful method." Tanaka was overjoyed, and then said regretfully: "Gao Feng, I really didn't misunderstand you, everything seems to be very simple in your hands, and it is really condescending to put you in the countryside." ā
"I don't want to be restrained, but I am still at ease as my owner, but I can take the lead in the formation of conscripts, so that other township guards have nothing to say." Gao Feng hurriedly got up and bowed his hand.
Last time, Gu Zheng said that there was no follow-up to recommend Gao Fengshi, which means that the court does not approve of it, and if the old words are repeated, it will not be beneficial to everyone.
Besides, let's settle the matter of the Baojia Army. Gao Feng knew that the formation of conscripts would first require money, but no township security officer would be willing to take out money like him, so it was naturally difficult to promote this matter, and if he took this head, Gu Zheng would naturally be satisfied.
"Okay, let's start with the Gao family manor, please tell me if you need anything." Throwing it in return with a peach, Gu Zheng naturally understood that if he wanted to firmly grasp the peak, he couldn't talk nonsense.
"Money doesn't matter, it's just that you need some weapons and equipment to train conscripts, and I don't know if you can make an opening." Gao Feng directly said his thoughts, which was also what he was most eager to get.
"This is a bit difficult, the authority of the county government is not so large, the quantity can be provided in a small amount, and the supply cannot be provided in more quantities." Gao Feng only made one request, and Gu Zheng couldn't meet it, and there was still some apology in his words.
"Adults don't have to bother, I can make some simple utensils by myself, just need the adults to get it." Private weapons are strictly prohibited, but it is different with the nod of the government, and Gao Feng is playing this edge ball.
