Several people sat down in the inner hall of the official office, Zhao Shu made hot tea, at this time, Ling Jing had already told Zhao Shu the situation briefly, as expected, Zhao Shu was stunned, there was a Turkic cavalry hidden in Beihai County, it was incredible.

"Can Ling join the army really be sure?" Zhao Shu still didn't believe it.

Liu Lancheng next to him said coldly: "The day before yesterday, our five hundred cavalry had already entered Beihai County first, did Zhao Juncheng find out?" ”

Zhao Shu was speechless for a long time, and Ling Jing smiled again: "We are not accusing Zhao Juncheng of dereliction of duty, and the Turks did not enter Hebei in armor, they were disguised as mule and horse merchants and mixed into Hebei in batches, so it is difficult to find, and we have no direct evidence to prove that they came to Beihai County, but we just said that they are the most likely to come to Beihai County, and we hope to get the full assistance of the Beihai County government." ”

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "If it is indeed very possible to enter Beihai County as a mule and horse dealer, frankly speaking, more than five hundred horses are nothing in Beihai County, it is a matter of safety for the people of Beihai County, of course I am willing to assist you in the investigation, but I don't know what I can do?" ”

Ling Jing said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, Zhao County gathered all the big livestock farmers in Beihai County and explained the situation to them, I believe they will provide some suspicious clues." ”

"I see, I'll send someone to inform."

At this time, Zhao Baolin reminded Zhao Shu: "Zhao Juncheng, there are still a few cattle farms in the mountainous area, I think it is more likely." ”

Zhao Shu noticed Zhao Baolin at this time, he felt a little familiar just now, but now when he looked closely, he finally recognized it, "You are Zhao Dongzhu?" ”

"In the next place, thank you Jun Cheng for remembering me."

Zhao Baolin is just a small mule and horse trader, how can he sit with Ling Jing and Liu Lancheng, Zhao Shu suddenly realized that this Zhao Baolin must be an insider.

"I wonder if proprietor Zhao has any other clues for me?" Zhao Shu asked again.

Zhao Baolin said: "Those are real Turkic cavalry, they can't speak Chinese, only one leader can speak Chinese, just like a large group of mutes, if there are many people, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the people, so I think they will definitely hide in remote places, those cattle farms in the mountains are located in the middle of nowhere, covering a large area, which is suitable for them to hide." ”

Liu Lancheng said: "Zhao Dongzhu is reasonable, but these Turks are very brave, once they realize that they have been discovered, they will inevitably be burned, and it will bring heavy casualties to Beihai County, it is better for us to divide our troops into two ways, and the county will gather Shishu to understand the clues, but don't tell them about the Turks, one is to avoid unnecessary panic, and the second is not to let the Turks feel that they have been discovered, what to say Zhao Juncheng can consider it himself, and then those mountain cattle villages will be handed over to us, hoping that Taishou can give us a map." ”

Zhao Shu understood the danger of this matter, he didn't insist, nodded and said: "According to what General Liu said, I'll go back now, there is one in the map county office, I will send someone to send it, I don't know what other needs the general has?" ”

"We need military rations and forage, and we hope that the county can provide it."

"There is no problem, there are two granaries and one straw silo on the dock, please use them, general."

Ling Jing also said: "Zhao Juncheng and I will go to Yidu County, and this side will be handed over to the general." ”

Ling Jing followed Zhao Shu back to Yidu County to gather Shishu for clues, while Liu Lancheng stayed at the Yellow River wharf, waiting for his subordinates to come to the wharf to gather.

And said that Zhao Shu sent people to the Yellow River wharf to send letters to the major families and large livestock breeders, asking them to immediately go to Yidu County to discuss major matters, with Zhao Shu's prestige, the major families have responded, on the second day after Zhao Shu and Ling Jing returned to Yidu County, nearly 100 family heads or family representatives rushed to Yidu County, everyone gathered in the county government compound, and there were many discussions, I don't know what happened?

At this time, Ling Jing nodded to Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu understood, got up and coughed and said, "Everyone, please be quiet!" ”

The courtyard suddenly quieted down, and Zhao Shu said unhurriedly: "I brought everyone here, I want to ask you for help." ”

Jia Xiangyang, the number two person in the Jia family, said with a smile: "If there is anything in the county, just say it directly, if we can help, we will definitely not postpone it." ”

Everyone also said: "Jun Cheng said it directly!" We will do our best. ”

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "Actually, this matter is also related to everyone, we have obtained information that there is a bandit that may be hiding in Beihai County, there are about five or six hundred people......."

Before he finished his words, the pot suddenly exploded below, and everyone shouted excitedly, no wonder, Beihai County's painful memory of the bandits is still unforgettable, whether it is a wealthy family or an ordinary person, no one wants to have any more bandits come to Beihai County.

"Be quiet, everyone, please be quiet!"

Zhao Shu called for a long time before everyone gradually quieted down, and Zhao Shu continued: "Now the bandits are just a symptom, we must rush in time, and there will soon be garrisons on the Qi County side to destroy the bandits, but the problem now is that we don't know where the bandits are hiding, so we want to get a little clue from everyone." ”

Jia Xiangyang asked loudly: "May I ask Jun Cheng, do these bandits have any characteristics?" Like where do they come from? Where are you from? Everyone is good at coping. ”

"We don't know exactly where this one is, but they all have horses, they live in seclusion, they usually use gold to shop, and they consume a lot of meat, so that's all we know, let's think about it, are there any people of unknown origin in their usual contact."

But after asking for a long time, everyone was gossiping, and they didn't know the point, Zhao Shu saw that everyone really didn't know, and he was disappointed, so he had to appease everyone a few words, and repeatedly told everyone not to spread the news, so as not to cause panic, Zhao Shu immediately asked everyone to go back and rest first.

"Ling joins the army, I'm afraid this path won't work." Zhao Shu said apologetically to Ling Jing.

Ling Jing nodded, and he was also a little disappointed in his heart, either these Turks were not in Beihai County, or they were hiding too deeply, it seemed that this trip to Beihai County was far from going to Hejian County.

"Did Jun Cheng give the map to General Liu?"

"It's been delivered, and as soon as I came back yesterday, I sent someone to the dock to deliver the map."

While the two were talking, an attendant led a large livestock farmer forward and said, "Envoy, this person said that he may have some clues. ”

"What clues?"

The big man timidly asked, "Are the bandits that the county is talking about Turkic?" ”

Ling Jing and Zhao Shu stood up at the same time and asked in unison, "Where are they?" ”

Dahu was frightened, and Zhao Shu hurriedly stabilized him, "Don't panic!" Take your time. ”

Dahu said slowly: "The villain's name is Zhou Guangchang, a native of Linqu County, who raises cattle for a living, and also grows black beans at home, two months ago, someone bought a batch of black beans from me, about three hundred stones, they gave me one hundred taels of gold, you must know that this is ten times the price, my family inventory of black beans is not enough, and I bought a part of Yidu, and then took the guys to rent a few boats to deliver to them, they received the goods at the foot of Jishan, when a group of people came, with an ox cart to drag away the black beans, I think these people are not from the Central Plains, should be Turkic. At that time, I wondered, how could there be Turks in Beihai County? But the other party gave me a hundred taels of gold, so I could only pretend that I didn't know anything. ”

Ling Jing asked again, "Can you be sure that the other party is hiding in Jishan?" ”

"Whether it's in Jishan or not, the villains are not sure, but it must be near Jishan, because the ox cart they came to can't hold so many black beans, and they also carry a bag each, a bag is a stone, carrying such a heavy black bean, I think their hiding place should not be far away."

Ling Jing and Zhao Shu asked this Zhou Guangchang a few more words, and then repeatedly told him not to say it, so as not to cause death.

Zhou Guangchang agreed again and again, and then left, Ling Jing and Zhao Shu looked at each other excitedly, but they didn't expect that there was finally a clue, Zhao Shu brushed open a map, pointed to Jishan and said: "Jishan is located in the southeast of Yidu County, about eighty miles apart, just at the junction of Yidu County and Linqu County, at the foot of the mountain is the giant ocean water, the traffic is very convenient, but Jishan is very deep, stretching more than thirty miles to the east, there are many basins in it, it is indeed suitable for hiding." ”

"Is there a cow farm?"

"Yes! There are two cattle farms, each with hundreds of cattle, but I don't know which one they are hiding in? ”

Ling Jing pondered for a moment and said: "These Turks are very strong and brave, the government should not interfere, let General Liu deal with them, I suggest that Yidu County and Linqu County strengthen the garrison of the city gates, and close the gates immediately as soon as there is any trouble!" ”

Zhao Shu nodded, "I understand, so I'll send someone to deliver a message to General Liu." (To be continued.) )
