Deng Zilong's army is here!

3,000 elite Zhejiang soldiers, 5,000 auxiliary soldiers and the Yangtze River Naval Division of Jiangfang Road formed an army of more than 10,000 soldiers, carried by dozens of large ships with hulls as high as the towering thousands, countless black boats, horizontal river ships front and rear cover, dense artillery rows, centipede boats shuttled back and forth, sails on the river were heavy, and flags were like clouds.

The civil and military forces of Qizhou Chengcheng went to the dock to greet them, and the fleet saw them from a distance, and the drums and horns of the handsome ships sounded in unison, and the soldiers trotted out of the cabin and lined up on the side of the bow of the ship.

I saw that the elite Zhejiang soldiers were indeed the hundred battle heroes trained by Grandpa Qi, one by one, wearing bright red mandarin duck robes, the iron armor was shiny, the spears, halberds, and rattan wolf wolves were lined up, and there were black bird guns, tiger squat cannons, and sharp firearms such as Franc machines.

A veteran of about 50 years at the bow of the handsome ship is extremely tall and mighty, his purple face is like a knife splitting an axe, his gray hair fluttering in the wind, and a red tassel on his rotten silver helmet is jumping like a flame.

Seeing this scene, Zhizhou Zhang Gongyu, who came to greet the army, laughed: "I have such an arrogant general, isn't it easy to exterminate the rebels of the White Lotus Sect and investigate the bandits?" General Deng will definitely succeed immediately! ”

The commander Wang Jinxian was also elated, and the materials and craftsmen needed to repair the fleet, and the grain and grass for the army were all allocated by Qizhou Wei, and his purse had to bulge a lot after this errand.

Only Shi Wei smiled with hidden worries.

Qin Lin raised the general flag directly for capturing and killing the White Lotus Sect incense master, and he, the lord of the hundred households, was also reported to the experience division by the thousand households, leaving the original appointment of the hundred households and adding the title to the deputy thousand households for probation, then the meaning of the boss is obvious: to ensure that Deng Zilong's army is not destroyed by the White Lotus Sect during the recuperation period in Qizhou, his deputy thousand households will be safely obtained; If something goes wrong, not only will the previous achievements be lost, but I am afraid that even the positions of 100 households will not be very stable.

Since the end of the Song Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect has risen one after another, and even the founding of the Ming Dynasty has a deep relationship with it, which shows how powerful the White Lotus Sect is in the people.

There are reports from everywhere that the White Lotus Sect will never sit idly by and watch Deng Zilong's army arrive in Chenzhou and destroy the good situation in Xiangxi since the Jin Daolu uprising, and the reports from multiple channels finally point to Qizhou: as soon as the army leaves Qizhou, it will go straight down to Dongting Lake along the Yangtze River waterway, and it will not be easy to do it again, so this is the last chance for the White Lotus Sect to start!

But no matter how thoroughly the Jinyi Wei side investigated, they couldn't crack the conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect, and they didn't know anything about what time, place, and method the other party would choose, so far, they could only use the stupid method of strict defense to try to plug the loopholes, and not give the other party a chance to take advantage of.

Behind Shi Wei were the two chief flags, Chen Sihai and Qin Lin. The spirit of the old chief flag Chen Sihai is acceptable, but the new chief flag Qin Lin looks tired and yawns.

In the past two days, Qin Lin has strengthened the precautionary measures of the Jinyi Guard against the sabotage of the White Lotus Sect in accordance with the security procedures of later generations, and personally investigated every place to ensure that everything is foolproof.

"Brother Qin, let's go back and rest first, just me and Brother Chen here," Shi Wei patted Qin Lin's back with concern, and said with a smile: "Your precautionary measures are really refreshing, this time the army is well protected, Brother Qin is the first achievement, but the night patrol depends on you, but you are not allowed to be tired and sick now!" ”

Qin Lin was busy all night last night, and he really couldn't hold it anymore, although he really wanted to find Deng Zilong to sign a name or something, there would be a chance in the next few days!

"Master Xie Shi's body shirt!" Qin Lin arched his hand towards Shi Wei, and said to Chen Sihai: "Brother Chen, I will be partial to you during the day." ”

Chen Sihai waved his hand with a big grin: "What's polite?" Go back and get some sleep! ”

Although Qin Lin has a pencil shop of a large scale, the processing of pencils in the shop is very noisy, and he still lives in a small room in the medical hall.

Lu Yuanzhi was in the courtyard behind the lobby of the medical hall, his eyebrows fluttering and bragging to the brothers: "You say it's ridiculous, the leper Wu San actually used human flesh to mix pork, it's ridiculous Li Dalang can't recognize it, if I didn't happen to pass by and tell me about it, wouldn't he have boiled human flesh and eaten it when he bought it?" ”

Everyone was shocked: "That Wu San is just a splash, he dares to kill someone to sell meat?" Senior Brother Lu, have you ever called for arrest and arrest Wu San? ”

"How dare he kill someone?" Lu Yuanzhi laughed: "It was a wild dog who pulled out a human leg from a mass grave outside the city, and he saw it and picked it up to play a prank." It's disgusting! ”

So that's the case, everyone's tense mood relaxed, and they scolded Wu San with a smile for being too lazy.

Lu Yuanzhi was foaming at the mouth when he spoke, he was patted on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was Qin Lin, frowning thoughtfully: "Fatty, tell me what's going on with that piece of meat?" ”

"Brother Qin, you have to worry too much about this, it is not unusual for the dead people in the mass grave to be dug out by wild dogs," the fat man was very arrogant, and he didn't put this matter at ease, so he talked to the brothers as a joke.

The mass graves outside the south gate of Qizhou are buried with many poor people who cannot afford to buy a cemetery, the dead who have been plagued, the bodies that have been picked up from the Yangtze River, and the prisoners executed by the government.

"No," Qin Lin thought for a while, and his expression became very serious: "Fat man, you said that Li Dalang was almost deceived by Wu San, so this is very likely to be a homicide." ”

Lu Yuanzhi blinked his small eyes, not understanding what the relationship between the two was.

"Fatty, think about it, if it was a dead person a few days ago, the meat would have spoiled [***], of course you can't fool Li Dalang......"

The fat man lowered his head and pondered, and another senior brother asked, "What if it is someone who has just died of illness?" ”

Qin Lin shook his head: "It is unlikely that someone will die of illness, the muscles of those who die of illness are dark red and fat, just like a dead pork with a plague that others can recognize at a glance." So if you can deceive Li Dalang, most of the owners of the corpse died unexpectedly, and the murder happened in the last two days! Fatty, take me to Wu San! ”

"Could it be that Wu San killed him?" Lu Yuanzhi thought that he had been with a terrible "murderer and corpse crusher" for half an hour just now, and he was so frightened that cold sweat was dripping on his back.

The two hurriedly walked out of the medical hall to find Wu San, and the brothers and sisters behind them had already admired Qin Lin so much: "You can think of the case with a casual sentence, no wonder people can be the general banner of Jinyi Wei!" Alas~ We have to have this ability......"

The good doctor of the palace is only the eighth grade, and the general banner of Jinyi Wei is already the seventh grade, and the power is even more unattainable, so the envy of the brothers and sisters for Qin Lin is beyond words.

Qin Lin's keen sense of crime made him discover possible crimes from Lu Yuanzhi's casual words, and a bad premonition came to his heart, and with hidden worries, he and the fat man came to the state office.

Zhang Gongyu went to the dock to meet the army, Niu Dali and others also followed to maintain order, but fortunately, Cui Zhutou was still in the yamen.

Qin Lin unceremoniously ordered: "Gather all the arrests and catch Wu San as soon as possible!" ”

Cui Zhutou didn't understand what was going on, and laughed with him: "Qin Zongqi, this is?" ”

Qin Lin slapped something on the table with a snap, and Cui Zhutou immediately jumped up after just one glance: "The little one will arrest that kid immediately, Chief Qin will wait for a while." ”

Only then did Qin Lin take back the general flag waist card on the table and hang it back on his waist.

The fat man was looking hot next to him, Cui Zhutou was already a big man that the people in Qizhou City needed to look up to, but when Lu Yuanzhi saw him come to the butcher shop to collect the usual routine, how did his father please him; But now, the dignified headcatcher was scared by a waist card...... Brother Qin is mighty!

"Tsk, this is the waist card of the Jinyi Wei General Banner?" The fat man touched Qin Lin's waist with a face, and that lewd expression reminded Qin Lin of the legendary Garten Eagle, the fat version.

Qin Lin felt a chill in his heart, "What about being a majestic man?" If you want to catch the ruffians and gangsters, these arrests are more handy than the brocade captains of the hundred households. ”

Sure enough, it may take half a day for Jinyiwei to catch Wu San, who is suffering from dysentery, but Cui Da Tou personally went out and brought this guy back before the time for a pillar of incense.

The nickname of the leprosy head is worthy of the name, Wu San's head looks like he has been gnawed by a mouse, a leper in the east and a piece in the west, and the thief's eyebrows and mouse eyes look obscene and scoundrel, and he is asking Cui Zhutou again and again to forgive: "Grandpa Cui, the little one hasn't done anything bad these days?" You always raise your noble hand and let go of a small horse, just like a fart......"

When Cui Zhutou saw Qin Lin, he immediately shook Wu San's face with a big-eared scraper, and beat him to a bloody face: "Lao Tzu still wants to live a few more years, but don't you dare to let go of a fart like you-little bastard, dare to offend Chief Qin, you are tired of life!" ”

Wu San, who was suffering from dysentery, saw a brocade guard flag sitting on the top of the capture hall, and when he was frightened, his legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground like a ball of mud.

Cui Zhutou threw him at Qin Lin's feet: "Chief Qin, I picked up this kid for you, do you want to hit the board or roll your fingers, you say a word, I will serve this kid by myself, oh yes, crossing the river dragon, brushing, wearing linen and wearing filial piety, although it is not as good as Jinyiwei, our group of brothers also make the guys." ”

There was already a slight dissatisfaction in Cui Zhutou's words, the state government and the Jinyi Wei hundred households were not subordinate to each other, and the people of the state government were very polite to Qin Lin for Zhang Gongyu's sake, but they couldn't take it so big, and they would take the waist card of the Jinyi General Banner and slap it on the table at every turn!

Qin Lin also felt a little impatient, and arched his hand towards Cui Zhutou: "The stakes are very high, if you offend in a hurry, Qin will apologize to Cui Zhutou." ”

Cui Zhutou was stunned, but he was a little embarrassed.

That Wu San is soft underground, and his heart is already cold, oh my God, playing the board and not mentioning it, is it good to roll your fingers? What crossed the river dragon, brushed, dressed in linen and wore filial piety, listening to the name made people's hearts tremble!

He knelt and kowtowed to Qin Lin with a bang: "The chief spares his life, the chief spares his life!" ”

Qin Lin just sneered and didn't say a word, and after a while, he saw the beads of sweat on the other party's head dripping down, and the leprosy was swollen red, so he asked unhurriedly:

"Wu San, are you guilty?"
