Chapter 574: Covering Your Ears and Stealing the Bell
Cui Wenwei, the commander of the Fujian capital, stepped forward to reply on behalf of the political envoy: "My lord, it's not that we don't do anything, we also wanted to send troops to fight pirates, but there are many islands off the coast of Fujian, and we don't know anything about the situation on the islands and in the sea. ”
Duan Fei smiled slightly, and said: "Master Cui is right, this official is here for this, you don't have a ship, you don't have a cannon, this official also has it, as long as the Fujian local government supports it, this official will clean up the Japanese on the sea for you, whether it is a real Japanese or a fake Japanese widow, they will die without a place to bury!" ”
Duan Fei said impassionedly, the Fujian officials on the first deck were also a little restless, the news of Jinyiwei's annihilation of the Japanese in the Qiantang River and Shanghai had already reached here, and they personally stood on this huge treasure ship, as if they saw the invincible fleet of the Three Treasure Eunuchs again, no one doubted Duan Fei's words, maybe there were, and no one dared to rashly bring it up at this time.
The left and right political envoys of the Fujian Political Department and Cui Wenwei, the commander of the capital, all expressed their strong support for Duan Fei's words, and they praised Duan Fei for a while, and then said that they were ready to go on a mission, and asked Duan Fei to move, and Duan Fei also moved.
Fujian officials were busy all night, and finally came up with a neat and clean Qincha Xingyuan, they sent Duan Fei and his party to the back of the Xingyuan, Duan Fei did not let them leave, but beckoned them to wait in the middle hall, Duan Fei settled down, Guan Xiaohan appeared in front of everyone again.
Duan Fei said to the Fuzhou officials who were waiting with bated breath: "This official will stay in Fujian for a while, maybe a month, maybe longer, mainly because it takes time to change ships, and this official wants to find a deep-water port in Fujian as a temporary base and shipyard, I don't know if Master Tong has any good suggestions?" I plan to recruit craftsmen who are good at shipbuilding and sailors who are good at boating, and I also want to train sailors in some places. ”
Cui Wenwei said: "My lord, Xia Guan thinks that Quanzhou is the most suitable, it used to be the starting point of the Three Treasures Eunuch to go to the South Seas, it can berth hundreds of big ships, there are as many as three bays and twelve ports, most of the people nearby live on the sea, it is no problem for adults to recruit as many sailors, Quanzhou is prosperous in business, and it is easy to supply, so Xia Guan thinks that Quanzhou is the best choice." ”
"Quanzhou?" Duan Fei smiled slightly, and said: "Then Quanzhou, Lord Tong, the fleet of the official will leave for Quanzhou tomorrow, please send someone to inform Quanzhou in advance, the official plans to disturb Fuzhou for a few days, and then go to Quanzhou after those ships are almost changed, this time will trouble your lords......"
"No trouble, no trouble, Fuzhou welcomes adults to come at any time, and there are many things to ask adults for advice." Tong Boluo's face was full of smiles, and even Duan Fei couldn't see through whether he really liked it or whether he was swollen and fat.
Anyway, Duan Fei stayed in Quanzhou, and the next morning those ships sailed to Quanzhou, and Duan Fei plunged into the library of classics of the Fuzhou Mansion, looking through those old cases, he declared that he was idle and bored to see if he could help the people of Fujian do some practical things, and solved several unsolved cases, but while looking at those unsolved old cases, Duan Fei secretly searched through all the old cases in Fujian in recent years, especially the old cases in Datian County, Yanping Prefecture, Fujian and the surrounding counties and prefectures, Duan Fei searched carefully.
Datian County is where Bao Xingpeng made his fortune, he served as a county magistrate there for five years, and Duan Fei did not find any problems from the old cases in Datian County, but there were many strange unsolved cases around Datian County.
Duan Fei Guan Xiaohan didn't follow, Duan Fei casually put aside all the cases he found suspicious, and Lu Bing, who was on the side, read these cases carefully and copied the key questions, and then handed those files to the other three young Jinyi guards beside him.
The four of them are the top students drawn by Duan Fei from the first batch of students in the criminal investigation cram school, although they are not experienced enough, but their talent is very high, and their achievements will far surpass Shi Bin and others if they are tempered a little, so this time Duan Fei specially brought them to Fujian, intending to give them a difficult task, as the final test before the graduation of the cram school.
After dinner that night, Duan Fei came to the study, and Lu Bing, Bai Xiaolan, Chu Ming, and Yun Feng had already been waiting in the study for a long time.
"How's it going?" Duan Fei asked.
The four of them were burying their heads in the table and didn't know what they were doing, when they heard the voice, Lu Bing raised his head and replied: "My lord, we have classified these missing suspected cases on the map, and we can find that these cases are all around Datian County, and they are quite regular, it seems that these cases are indeed committed by the same group of people." ”
Duan Fei walked over to look at the map they were fiddling with, and saw that more than a dozen red crosses were marked in the county capitals around Datian County, and then the time and place and the number of missing people were simply marked with a quill pen.
Unlike the cases of missing families in Suzhou and other places, these missing cases near Datian County have their own characteristics, and there are no missing families, and at first glance these cases should be unrelated, but if you study carefully, you can still see some clues.
Bai Xiaolan continued: "My lord, not only did we find that these cases have rules to follow in time and place, but we also found that these cases have time differences, for example, in the eighth year of Zhengde, there were several abduction cases in Dehua, Ningyang, and Youxi counties, and the missing children were all children who were only three or five years old, and in the ninth year of Zhengde, several pregnant women were missing in Zhangping, Yongan, and Yongfu counties, and in the tenth year of Zhengde, several cases of drunken people disappeared in Liancheng, Shaxian, and Anxi. There are several elderly people in Funing Prefecture who have disappeared from their homes...... The fact that these missing persons are quite concentrated in time shows that their captors have a strong purpose. ”
Lu Bingdao: "Yes, according to the clues provided by the adults, the Yin Kui Sect likes to make all kinds of strange drugs the most, and then use people to do experiments, you can suspect that when Lord Bao was the magistrate of Daejeon, the Yin Kui Sect was entrenched in it, and after researching new drugs, specific people must be selected to test the medicine, so these missing people will have similar characteristics." ”
Duan Fei frowned and looked at the map for a while, Lu Bing and they were all waiting quietly, Duan Fei suddenly smiled and said, "I see, you guys have done a good job, we finally understand the law of Yin Kui's attack, and we can prescribe the right medicine and design a detailed plan to make them appear." ”
Lu Bing and the four of them perked up and asked, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”
Duan Fei groaned: "The four of you are all fresh faces, and you are young enough, I plan to send you to these places separately to check these missing old cases on the spot, maybe you can find some clues, Lu Bing, in addition, you have to go to Datian County to investigate the cases that Bao Xingpeng cracked when he was in office, although the case file is written without flaws, but I still have some suspicions, some of these cases may be unjust cases created by Bao Xingpeng, in short, you go to check, try to understand more about Bao Xingpeng's behavior and living habits, In this way, it can also be used as a reference when the design is advanced, and when you act, you must remember not to startle the snake, and it is better not to find a clue than to expose your tracks. ”
