Chapter 208: The Strange Wako
"What case was Lord Qian trying to investigate before he died?" Lu Sheng asked hesitantly.
Xing Yue's brows furrowed slightly, and his scrutinizing eyes stared at Lu Sheng, "Are you suspecting that Lord Qian's death is strange?"
"The students didn't dare, but Master Qian's death was too sudden. Moreover, the cultivation of adults is profound, and half a step is already innate, and there is no danger of getting sick under normal circumstances. ”
"Your suspicions are understandable, but this septic disease has been around for a long time. Since you asked, the official did not hide it. Lord Qian did two things during his lifetime.
First, due to the drawbacks of lax discipline in the coastal defense army, Lord Qian has written to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can rectify military discipline. The order of the imperial court has been issued, and the military department has ordered Lord Qian to take full authority to deal with this matter and be responsible for reorganizing the armament.
Second, in the past six months, the Japanese have repeatedly violated the border, and Lord Qian asked the imperial court to transfer a naval division to the East China Sea. However, the imperial court refused on the grounds that the trouble of the Japanese was not enough to worry about. ”
"Refused? But the news I got was that it was a matter of great importance, and the students came this time to investigate the trouble of the Japanese invaders on the orders of the Nanling Palace. Does the imperial court mean anything else when it says this?"
"This ...... I really don't know. ”
For the rest of the time, Lu Sheng and Xing Yue didn't discuss work or anything in the current situation. Lu Sheng was ordered to come this time, and he was called an inspector, but in fact he had another mission.
And Lu Sheng even planned to hide his position as an inspector, so he asked Xing Yue not to inform the officials of Tongnan Prefecture of his identity for the time being, and only stationed in Tongnan as the head of the Criminal Division.
When I came out of the palace of the festival envoys, it was already dusk. Lu Sheng returned to the Criminal Division, and the inside and outside of the Criminal Division were once again rectified.
Qiantang's death made Lu Sheng feel very strange. The two things that Qiantang investigated before his death were also by no means ordinary, and just when the imperial court ordered Qiantang to be fully responsible for rectifying military discipline, he got sepsis in such a timely manner, and in Lu Sheng's experience, it was more like a premeditated murder.
The Qian family was a famous family in the Yu Dynasty, and Qiantang was by no means an idle person. Although his half-step innate level is not enough in Lu Sheng's opinion, the half-step innate is still a master.
Qiantang coughed up blood and died, and he didn't say that he was killed until he died? This means that even Qiantang himself didn't know that he had been plotted.
can silently plot a master, and make him ignorant until death, Lu Sheng is also puzzled by such methods.
Lu Sheng, an outsider, can see the strangeness, how can Qian Tang, as a party concerned, know nothing? Does he dare not say if he knows, or does he really not know. Or is this septic disease really just a disease that spreads in Gangbuk-do?
After dinner, Lu Sheng asked the people to send the information files brought back from the government back to the study, and then let the brothers rest early and then stay alone in the study to check them.
In the dead of night, figures suddenly poured in from all directions.
Gai Ying, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes suddenly, and his figure flashed, and the person had broken through the window and jumped onto the roof. The moment he jumped onto the roof, the long sword was already unsheathed, and the sword qi around his body was vertical and horizontal, turning into a ghostly light and slashing towards the figure in the distance.
"Gai Ying, stop!
"Hold the grass! Which bastard is such a tiger, just give me a look?" A roar sounded, and a figure slowly fell from the sky.
Duan Fei's face was gloomy, his eyes swept over the dozen or so people in the courtyard, and finally fixed on the young Gai Ying, his eyes were stunned in an instant, and he was stunned on the spot.
"Lu Jian, who is this? If it weren't for Lao Tzu's fast flash, I would have been split in half by him. As he spoke, Duan Fei turned his back, almost clinging to Duan Fei's back, and shaved off a large piece of fabric.
The ancient loose model has become a sexy backless suit.
"Commander Duan is discouraged, and Gai Ying is new. Lu Jian hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.
Gai Ying was personally recruited by Lu Sheng, and in a sense, he is the same as Lu Jian. As a big brother, of course, you have to cover it. And Gai Ying's sword is indeed excessive, at least it is a misunderstanding, but if you want to say it in a big way, it is a crime.
Duan Fei is at a different level from them, although Duan Fei has always listened to Lu Sheng's command to fight wherever he wants, Duan Fei is considered to be on the same level as Lu Sheng in Xuantian Mansion. Lu Sheng and Duan Fei are also commensurate with brothers.
Duan Fei has a good temper, which is also recognized in Xuantian Mansion. Otherwise, whoever is replaced, it should be kicked up by the foot at this time.
"What's the situation? I've only been away for a day, and Lu Sheng is recruiting new people again?" Duan Fei took off his coat casually, took the coat handed by his subordinates and put it on.
"Yes, I met it on the road, and the adults were happy to see it, and they collected it under the account. Gai Ying, why don't you give Commander Duan a companion?"
Gai Ying stepped forward and bowed very obediently, "Humble and reckless, please forgive me." ”
"Excuse me, it's just a misunderstanding. Boy, how old are you?" Duan Fei's face was still a little unnatural, but he didn't care.
"Twenty. ”
"Good boy, twenty years old is actually an innate realm. Duan Fei's eyes flashed, and he nodded approvingly, "What about Lu Sheng?"
"In the study!"
"Are the brothers' rooms ready?" Duan Fei had taken dozens of brothers with him, and now they were all back.
"Ready, Feng Jian, take the brothers to rest. Lu Jian hurriedly greeted Feng Jian behind him.
In fact, Feng Jian's heart was reluctant, Feng Jian was originally Feilingwei, and later transferred to Lu Sheng's account. In Lu Sheng's opinion, this is an inconsequential matter, but in Feng Jian's heart, he doesn't think so.
Fei Lingwei is both a guard and a legion, and his transfer is some kind of betrayal in the eyes of Fei Lingwei. Therefore, since Feng Jian came to Lu Sheng's account, he has rarely had contact with the former brothers.
There was some reluctance in his heart, but Feng Jian did not hesitate to accept it.
In Lu Sheng's study, the candle flame flickered slightly.
Since half a year ago, the Japanese have repeatedly violated the border. The main landing sites are on the coastline of Lusi Port and the coastal village generation.
In the past six months, there have been seven or eight landings.
Looking at the record of the dossier, Lu Sheng's brows couldn't help frowning. It's not that the invasion of the Japanese invaded during this period of time caused much damage to the people along the coastline. Frankly speaking, the losses were much lower than Lu Sheng's expectations.
What made Lu Sheng even more puzzled was that the combat power of the coastal defense army did not seem to be as unbearable as it was known from the envoys. The Japanese landed seven or eight times, but each time they were repulsed by the coastal defense army, and after seven or eight battles, the coastal defense army turned out to be a complete victory.
"Because of this combat strength, is there still a need to rectify military discipline?" Lu Sheng scratched his head.
"Da Da Da-" There was a crisp knock on the door.
"Come in!" Lu Sheng put down the file and looked at Duan Fei who pushed the door in with a smile, "How about it, is that kid's sword enough to taste?"
"You're still laughing at me? If you hadn't explained it well, I would have been treated like this? This kid ...... OK. You didn't see how fast that sword qi was, if it weren't for the fact that so many things had happened recently, my cultivation would have improved a bit.
I'm afraid that the fame of Duan Fei I will directly become a joke in later generations, the dignified Feiling Wei Zuo Wei Ling, who failed to die on the battlefield and did not die at the hands of thieves, was slaughtered by his own brothers. ”
"Don't complain, how can I bear to watch you die here? I came back in one day? How's the investigation going?"
"You can only look into the details, and it takes time. Lu Sheng, this group of widows is a bit strange. ”
"I can see it too. Lu Sheng gently handed the file to Duan Fei, "Decades ago, there were often Japanese invaders, especially fifty years ago, and they were even more rampant.
Although the Wa Kingdom of the East China Sea is a small country, their martial arts are unique. Aiming for the fastest kills, they have few moves, but they are very lethal.
Fifty years ago, he invaded the border many times, and the imperial court repeatedly suppressed it but returned in vain. If it weren't for the creation of the Deep Blue Navy by Beikangong to fight against the Japanese invaders, I am afraid that it would not be possible to keep the peace of the East China Sea for 50 years.
At that time, the Japanese were extremely ferocious, and many martial arts masters went to help but were killed by the other party, and even the innate masters were killed and injured heavily. Those who dare to come to the border of Dayu to be a Japanese coward, they really have to have a few brushes.
But this time, they were repelled by the coastal defense army when they repeatedly violated the border, and it seems that the coastal defense army still has some strength. ”
"Powerful fart!" Duan Fei pursed his mouth disdainfully, "This group of coastal defense troops has never fought against the Japanese at all. ”
"Didn't fight?" Lu Sheng asked in surprise, "How is it possible? If they didn't fight, how could the Japanese be repulsed? If the coastal defense army lied about the military situation...... It's impossible, you can't hide it from lying about the military situation. Not to mention the envoy's mansion, even the casualties of the people should have a number. ”
"That's why it's a bit strange to say that this time. With that, Duan Fei stood up and came to the edge of the map of Tongnan Mansion behind Lu Sheng, and pointed to an area of the map's coastline.
"From Lu Sigang to this generation, the coastline that stretches for fifty miles, the Japanese have gone ashore seven or eight times as if they were in a no-man's land. And each time, the coastal defense army symbolically sent troops to resist.
But for some reason, this group of robbers seems to have no intention of fighting. As soon as the coastal defense arrived, they withdrew. They withdrew on their own, of course, the coastal defense army repulsed.
And on two occasions, the coastal defense army did not send troops to resist at all. The pirates invaded as far as 15 miles ashore and never went deeper. And these bunches are simply ...... It doesn't look like a wolf at all.
In our perception, the Wako are murderous and inhumane. But the strange thing is that this group of robbers entered the village and plundered, as long as the people did not resist, they did not hurt people's lives?
In those two plunderes, the Japanese only robbed the grain, but did not commit any crime against the property. Of course, it is also possible that people have nothing of value in their homes except food. ”
"Is this a wolf?" Lu Sheng stared at the file in front of him with suspicion.
"This is the timetable for the landing of the Japanese pirates. Duan Fei took out a small notebook from his arms and placed it in front of Lu Sheng.
"Last logged in a month ago......? The longest didn't last more than a month. Lu Sheng said in a low voice, the essence in his eyes suddenly flashed, "They are about to appear?"
"It's really a hero's vision, and that's what I think. Brother Lu, do you want us to arrange for the brothers to go to the Yellow Sea? Next time they come, so that they can leave something behind. ”
"No!" Lu Sheng immediately vetoed, "You see that these widows don't hurt people, but it doesn't mean that they don't have the strength to hurt people." And if you look at the records and speed of each of their landings, it's clear that these bandits are trained.
We only brought fifty brethren with us, and in case the strength of the Japanese was strong, the brethren would be hanging. ”
"If we knew that was the case, we would have brought more people here. ”
"That's not good, there are garrisons and coastal defense troops in Gangbuk Province, what does it mean that we bring more people? Brothers don't have to go, but a few of us can still go. As long as they dare to come, we will teach them a lesson. ”
