When Gao Huaiyuan put on the official uniform specially made for him, he felt a little awkward, he had long been accustomed to a strong suit on weekdays, and suddenly put on this green official uniform that showed his order, and he was a little uncomfortable, muttering his dissatisfaction, accompanied by Ji Xiancheng, he came to Daye County to take up his post.

For Gao Huaiyuan's appointment, a group of colleagues in the county government specially held a banquet in the city to entertain Gao Huaiyuan, for these people, Gao Huaiyuan is naturally very familiar with them, Gao Huaiyuan has dealt with them a lot in recent years, so they don't feel restrained with each other.

As a county government agency, there are really a lot of people in the county government, in addition to Liu Zhixian, the chief official, there are also county officials, chief bo, Zhu Si and others, and those who can attend the banquet are all people with heads and faces in the county government.

And really responded to Gao Huaiyuan's assumption, Liu Zhixian did play a role in mediating Gao Huaiyuan's position this time, when Gao Huaiyuan led the troops to the front of the army, he annoyed Gao Huaiyuan's father Gao Jian, Gao Jian did not give Liu Zhixian a stumbling block, which made Liu Zhixian a little embarrassed, so this time I heard that Gao Jian tried to open up the joint and let Gao Huaiyuan fill the vacancy of the county lieutenant, Liu Zhixian considered making up for Gao Jian, so he actively mediated it, plus Gao Jian gave gifts in the court. It really didn't take much effort to do this, so I did it for him.

From Liu Zhixian's words during the banquet, Gao Huaiyuan heard this meaning, so he repeatedly thanked Liu Zhixian for his kindness, and patted his chest in a fake way to promise that he would definitely give Liu Zhixian a good start.

This made Liu Zhixian also quite pleased, at least Gao Huaiyuan is also from Daye County, not to mention, he has a good relationship with him in recent years, and when he was just an elder before, he helped the county government a lot, and it is much easier to use.

Therefore, for Gao Huaiyuan's appointment, the county government and the gang are quite happy, knowing that Gao Huaiyuan is generous, and after being an official in Daye in the future, they will naturally have their benefits.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan's matter of taking over the county lieutenant went very smoothly, basically no one set up any artificial obstacles for him to make it difficult for him, and in just two days, Gao Huaiyuan quickly took over the matter of the county lieutenant with the assistance of Ji Xiancheng.

Don't look at a county government sparrow is small, but it has all kinds of organs, Gao Huaiyuan didn't pay much attention to this matter before, and he didn't know too much about the responsibilities of various officials in the county government, fortunately, he had Ji Xiancheng by his side, and after Ji Xiancheng gave him some bad supplements, he finally understood these things clearly.

As the chief executive of Daye County, Liu Zhixian was responsible for a wide range of affairs, including household registration, tax collection, equal service, water conservancy repair, persuasion of agriculture and mulberry, leading the army and administration, eliminating thieves, running schools, deifying the people, relieving the exiles, helping the poor, and adjudicating prison lawsuits. He is the number one leader in the county in coordinating the relationship between the central and local governments and stabilizing the local ruling order.

The county officer is the adjutant of the county order, and his main responsibilities are the management of documents, warehouses, etc., and he is an eight-rank official, and the chief secretary is the chief official in charge of clerical affairs, account books, etc., as for the position of county lieutenant held by Gao Huaiyuan, he is responsible for the arrest of bandits, maintenance of local security, review of county archers and other affairs, and he is at the same level as Bao Yilang, they are all Jiupin officials, and they are also serious sesame petty officials, which are considered to be officials in charge of military equipment in the county, and Gao Huaiyuan's identity is similar, and he is regarded as a military official.

After figuring out this, Gao Huaiyuan knew his duties, it turned out that all the hard work in the county government was his, no wonder Liu Zhixian was in a hurry to get him into the county office, and he was in a hurry to let him act as a thug! Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly at Ji Xiancheng.

"Since the young master wants to do something, then the position of the county lieutenant is not bad, although Daye County is not big, but it is also a medium-sized county, starting from a small point is not necessarily a bad thing, it is much stronger than you to steal the training of private soldiers yourself, the young master can take advantage of this opportunity, learn in a good stop, and it is also a good deed to be able to strengthen the people of the party, after all, now that the heart of the Jin Kingdom is not dead, I am not sure when I will come to invade the territory, if the local people are strong, it will also be a good thing for the future!" Ji Xiancheng drank the tea bowl leisurely, while persuading Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan heard that this was really the case, didn't he instigate Liu Zhixian and Wang County Lieutenants before, and wanted to set up a bow and arrow club in Daye County to train people to practice archery and kung fu? Now that he has become a county lieutenant, can't this matter be implemented? So Gao Huaiyuan temporarily felt at ease and began to honestly take care of the accumulated affairs with the help of Ji Xiancheng.

And after Ji Xiancheng accompanied Gao Huaiyuan to the county seat, he was very low-key, in order not to cause trouble to Gao Huaiyuan, he basically didn't show up in the county office, after all, he was a person who offended Shi Miyuan as a powerful minister, and let people know that if he did things for Gao Huaiyuan, it might have a bad impact on Gao Huaiyuan, which Ji Xiancheng grasped very well, and never talked about his name to people, so when Gao Huaiyuan took over the post of county lieutenant, everyone only knew that Gao Huaiyuan had a guest who didn't like to talk. But no one knew Ji Xiancheng's origin at all, and unconsciously ignored Ji Xiancheng.

After Gao Huaiyuan took over the post of county lieutenant, the group of catchers who he had befriended in the county government became his subordinates in the blink of an eye, including the jailers of the county government and archers like Guo Liang.

Gao Huaiyuan at this point, basically crossed the process of being familiar with everyone, and soon entered the role, for Xing Zhutou, Gao Huaiyuan still became a county lieutenant in the end, so that he and the gang under him were very happy, this time they can take a breather, Xing Zhutou was arguing complacently before and after, or he had a vision, he had long seen that Gao Huaiyuan could get ahead, which made Gao Huaiyuan a little embarrassed, and made him feel that he was quite hypocritical, and said that he didn't ask for this, But in the end, he came to grab this position, which made him sweat a little.

After the new official took office three fires, Gao Huaiyuan, a rare young county lieutenant, naturally had to make some merits first, after taking care of his subordinates, he immediately took over some cases that were being investigated recently from Xing Zhutou, I don't know if I don't know, I was really shocked when I saw it, the small Daye County didn't seem to him before, there were not many major things, but after really doing the post of county lieutenant, he found that Daye was far from being as peaceful as he imagined.

There are dozens of cases of all sizes, including cases of stealing chickens and dogs, as well as fights and brawls, and even cases of murder and overkill, among which there are even several tragic cases of extermination, no wonder Xing Zhutou and they complained bitterly when they saw Gao Huaiyuan a few days ago, so many cases made them these dozen arresters, really too busy, this is good, now Xing Zhutou is relaxed, out of his top tank guy, the next thing should be dealt with by him, the county lieutenant of Maotou.

Looking at the piled up of these cases on the desk, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but feel a little big, he was originally in charge of things like arresting bandits and inspecting school archers, but now it seems that he is a bit like the role of the director of the public security bureau and the county armed forces minister in later generations, poor Comrade Gao County Lieutenant waited until this time, only to find that it is not easy to be a county lieutenant the size of a nine-grade sesame.

So he had to sit on the desk and check these case files one by one, fortunately, there was Ji Xiancheng next to him to help, even so, it took him two days to sort out the cases at hand.

"Grab the big and let go of the small! These things of stealing chickens and dogs and petty theft are estimated to be done by some thieves, and they are not in a hurry to deal with these. Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his waist and put down the case file in his hand, and said to Ji Xiancheng on the side.

"That's reasonable, after you, the county lieutenant, take the position, if you want to open up the situation, it seems that it is not possible to catch only some small thieves, otherwise, you will be laughed at! From Ji's point of view, if the county lieutenant wants to serve the public, he can only do this! I'm not good at doing this, it seems that I still have to go out in person with Lieutenant Gao! Ji Xiancheng helped Gao Huaiyuan sort out the case file on the desk, and then replied with a smile.

"Hmmm! That's right! It's better to fight and kill like this, or let a rough person like me get out of the way! Looks like I'm going to be busy for a while! Then Mr. Lao Ji helped me do these copywriting things! It seems that this is a bit overkill for Mr. Ji! Gao Huaiyuan stood up and said with a smile.

Ji Xiancheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is nothing, you just have to rest assured to chase those things, I will help you deal with the things here!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan was not polite, and immediately brought in a few arresters such as Xing Zhutou, found out the big cases that happened in several counties a few years ago, and learned about them.

It turns out that since last year, there will be a similar big case in the townships of the county every once in a while, which is also a headache for Liu Zhixian and Xing Zhutou and others, these cases are very scattered, almost in several large townships in Daye County, the perpetrators are ruthless, and the people who kill are some rich people in the townships, often as long as they start, they will kill all the doors, not to mention the extremely cruel means, and they are very clean and neat, and rarely leave any clues.

There is also the person who does these big cases, never commits crimes continuously, and always continues to do it every few days, and his whereabouts are also erratic, so that Xing Zhutou and others have been busy for more than half a year without a clue, so that even the prefect of Ezhou has been alarmed by these cases, and even sent a magistrate to Daye County to help investigate the case a few years ago, but the result was also unsuccessful, and this gang of thieves was not caught.

And Gao Huaiyuan had just taken over the post of county lieutenant, and he encountered this difficult bone, so Gao Huaiyuan also planned to start with these cases and make a name for himself first!

"It's not that I'm stupid, I want to say that I've been hunting heads for many years, and this is really the first time I've encountered a case like this, and it's even more cunning than the Yang Tong gang we met in our early years! Leaving no room for us to start! Xing Zhutou replied to Gao Huaiyuan with a frustrated face.

At this time, Zhang Liang, Xing Zhutou's subordinate, also nodded and said: "Xing Zhutou is right, we have indeed worked hard, but these people are uncertain, and they change places from time to time, often after one success, they will disappear for a period of time, and they will commit crimes again every few days, we really have no way to deal with them, and we have no clue at all!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan nodded: "It seems that these thieves are indeed well-planned, and they should be veterans here!" This kind of method is definitely not done by ordinary people, and these people are quite good at reaching out, these cases should be done by a group of people, but as long as they are still people, it is impossible not to leave a trace of the crime!

Think about it, after the crime, have you ever inquired in the market to see if the lost items have ever appeared on the market after these thieves succeeded? If you can find the lost items, you can grab them by the tail and pull them out! ”

Gao Huaiyuan is definitely not a layman in investigating the case, and immediately thought of investigating the case from the stolen goods.

"I have checked, we have also thought of this method, these thieves are definitely cunning enough, these lost items of the bitter master's family have never appeared on the market in Daye County, when these people committed crimes, they never touched any large valuables, only looted the small valuable things in the bitter master's house, and then there are silver money and other things, these things are easy to sell, and it seems that even if they sell the stolen goods, they should not be sold in our Daye County, so although we checked, we didn't find it!" Xing Zhutou immediately replied.

Gao Huaiyuan touched his chin and frowned, according to what Xing Zhutou said, this time he really met an opponent! These people are not even selling stolen goods locally, so this case is really difficult to start, but a case like this occurs in the county from time to time, and the people of Pingtou are okay to say, those rich people are panicked, and it is estimated that they will put a lot of pressure on the county government, and if they don't catch these people, he, the county lieutenant, will be blind.

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Huaiyuan sorted out these cases that had happened in his heart, and according to his experience in handling cases in his previous life, he used empathy to re-examine these cases, and then raised his head and said to Xing Zhutou and them: "I think the people who are doing these cases should not be the thieves who have wandered to our Daye County, I think these people are still our locals no matter what they say!" And the number of people will not be too much, there should be only about four or five people, and there will be no clues at all! ”

Why do you say that? If we were locals, we wouldn't have found any clues! Xing Zhutou didn't believe Gao Huaiyuan's inference, he always felt that these people might have come from other places and committed crimes in Daye County, and on this point, he and Gao Huaiyuan had different opinions.

"You see, these cases have one thing in common, although these bitter families are relatively rich, they are far from being big local families, and these people are not too large, the reason why the thieves chose them is that they are easy to start, and if they move quickly, they will soon be able to subdue all the people of these families, so there will not be too many people who commit crimes, and four or five people is probably the upper limit! And they should be very familiar with the area around Daye County, which is not something that a wandering criminal can do! So I think it's more likely that these people are not outsiders, but locals! And judging from the situation of your investigation of the case, these people's kung fu should be good, although these people are not rich people, but every family has a high-walled compound, and they can quietly climb over the wall to enter the house, and the person who does such a case should have some good kung fu, so that the general situation of these people can be outlined! Gao Huaiyuan analyzed some of the circumstances in the case for the first few people in Xing Zhu.

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Xing Zhutou and the first few people began to nod, thinking that Gao Huaiyuan's analysis was good, and then Gao Huaiyuan said: "You can pay more attention to places like Goolan brothels these days, especially pay more attention to the evaluation of customers by some prostitutes, and pay attention to the guests who like to abuse*, and then follow up, start from this aspect, I think these cases should not be difficult to solve!" ”

Xing Zhutou was a little confused, so he asked Gao Huaiyuan, "Why did Young Master Gao ask me to find out the news from those prostitutes?" What's more, there are a lot of brothels in Daye County, and there are no less than hundreds of prostitutes alone. Besides, we don't even have a goal! ”

Gao Huaiyuan threw a few case files on the desk, sneered and said: "Speaking of which, you have all been in this business for many years, but you have ignored a very important thing in these cases, think back to these cases!" There is also a common denominator here, that is, there are three cases, the women of the victim's family were insulted by thieves before they died, and the case file is very clear, the women who have been insulted in these three cases have not only been insulted during their lifetime, but also have bruises all over their bodies, obviously the perpetrator likes to abuse women, but such details have been ignored by you! People like this, this is a very obvious clue, at least it shows that among these thieves, there should be a psychopathic guy, so I think, if they are locals, after they have money, such a bastard thing, they have to go to the place where the fence is **, maybe it will be exposed! If you had remembered this earlier, I'm afraid this case would have been solved a long time ago! Why wait for me to take over? ”

As soon as Xing Zhutou and the others heard what Gao Huaiyuan said, their hearts immediately brightened up, and when they inspected the scene, they also noticed this, but they just felt angry, but they didn't think about it further, and they immediately understood the truth by Gao Huaiyuan.
