"Huh?" Lu Sheng stared at Duan Fei vigilantly, "When did you care so much about me? You're not my brother-in-law?"

"There are a lot of men who step on two boats, but it also depends on the person, right? I wonder if Bu Feiyan's temper will she take up her sword and kill you after she finds out?"

The corners of Lu Sheng's eyebrows raised slightly, and he slowly stretched out his hand and put it on Duan Fei's shoulder, "Even if Bu Feiyan wants to kill me with a sword, that's my business, what does it mean that you kid cares so much?"

"What can I mean? What do we have to do with it? That's a good brother, I can't watch you die, can I?"

"Come less!" Lu Sheng slapped Duan Fei aside, "Say, what's the matter with waiting for me in the study?"

"These are the materials we have compiled over the past six months, and in the past six months, the Japanese have landed eight times from the coastline, without exception, and each time they have landed at high tide and left before the low tide.

We used to think that the Japanese would retreat at most ten miles after they went ashore because they didn't want to go deeper. But now I find that it's not that they don't want to go deeper, but that they don't want to catch up with the ebb tide.

The beaches of the Yellow Sea stretch for more than ten miles, and once such a long coastline is stranded on the shore, it can be described as a catastrophe for them. ”

"Why? The coastal defense army is rotten to the roots, what are the Japanese still afraid of?"

"It's rotten, but it's three thousand. And do you know how many people come ashore each time? It's only fifty. This number of people is indeed not enough for the coastal defense army to stuff their teeth. Even if the coastal defense army does not act, if the people along the coast are assembled, it will be very fierce. Therefore, the Japanese can only fight quickly, take it by surprise, grab some money and food, and withdraw quickly. ”

"That's all there is to it, so why are there 800 pirates in the newspaper?"

"The number of pirates in the newspaper is reported by the coastal defense army, and the people like to exaggerate things. For example, in the coastal village, there were only 30 or 40 Japanese invaders last time, but they all said that hundreds of Japanese invaded the village and looted it.

The average loss of each household is 20 taels, and in the places where the fart points in the coastal villages are large, each household can have 20 taels of property? ”

"And then, do you want to tell me that the woes in Tongnan Mansion are not enough to fear, and there are only a few dozen people, so let's pack up and go back as soon as possible?" Lu Sheng glared at Duan Fei.

"I want to say...... Is the direction we are exploring wrong? The star-striped divine soldier we are looking for has nothing to do with the Japanese Kou? Maybe it has nothing to do with Gangbuk-do? If you want to find a bear's den, you strayed into the tiger's den, fought with the tiger, and went out with a wounded body but didn't see an inch, right?"

"If we had just come to Gangbuk-do, I would have believed me if you told me this, but now, after having so many clues, you still tell me that the number of Japanese robbers is fifty, it would be an insult to my IQ. ”

"But it's true that that's all the number of pirates each time they come ashore, and if they were really as you speculated before, five thousand children were taken captive by the pirates, and after these fifteen years of training, they would have become a formidable fighting force long ago.

Every time fifty of them go ashore, what about them as an outing? With the combat effectiveness of the coastal defense army, if there are really 5,000 Japanese pirates, can they take the entire city of Tongnan?"

"I believe! If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. Lu Sheng looked at the file in front of him, "I obviously have the ability to be ruthless, but I just make a small fuss, unless...... Their purpose is not to plunder at all. ”

"It's been almost two months now, and there is still no movement. It's useless for us to guess here, at least we have to catch a few pirates to know what they want to do. ”

"How is Shen Ling's investigation over there?" Lu Sheng asked abruptly changing the subject.

"What do you mean?"

"Boss Xue there!"

"Your guess is completely right, Boss Xue is indeed related to which one in the palace. But how deep the relationship is, the prince has not yet found out. In order not to startle the snake, the prince can't blatantly check it. Even if it is checked, it can only be checked secretly, and it will take time.

I said, Brother Lu, what are you and the prince doing? Didn't you say that you were checking the Star Pattern Divine Soldier? Why did you get involved with the one in the palace? She was originally born in Tongnan Mansion, and Tongnan Mansion was her mother's family. Even if he buys more properties in Tongnan Mansion, we can't manage it, right?"

"If Shen Ling didn't tell you, then don't ask me. You know the rules better than I do. Lu Sheng glanced at Duan Fei, looking at him with a confused look, and inexplicably felt better.

Lai Chuntao died, the murderer was also caught, and Lai Chuntao's wife came to the Criminal Division every now and then to ask for the murderer to be sentenced.

However, Lu Sheng has been dragging it on the pretext that there is a killer organization behind the murderer, after all, there are too many people offended by people like Xiang Lai Chuntao, and it is reasonable for someone to kill him. Moreover, Lu Sheng released the fog, and it was rumored that the person who bought the murder was a wealthy man in Tongnan Mansion.

At the beginning, the news swept through the entire Tongnan Mansion like a whirlwind, and many people were talking behind their backs about which rich man wanted Chuntao's life.

But within a few days, the rumor disappeared like water seeping into the sand. The merchant of Tongnan Province, the production of the production, the shipment of the shipment, the counting of the money, the time spent on wine is still spent on wine. Everything is as it always is.

But Lu Sheng knew that Lai Chuntao's death must have touched everyone's nerves in the dark, and if the prefect hadn't deceived Lu Sheng, someone would have been tempted to take action.

Sure enough, on the seventh day after this case, the envoy invited Lu Sheng to go for tea.

I can ask the envoy to move the festival, and I have to say that the force of the people behind this is still not small. Lu Sheng's identity is no longer a secret, and Lu Sheng's mission is also known to Xingyue.

In principle, the torture review governs his Jiangbei Province, and Lu Sheng investigates his case, and the two of them should not violate the river water. But at this time, the torture review was said to be moved, and the person who said that the torture review was not easy to think.

Taking Gai Ying and Lu Jian with him, Lu Sheng changed out of his official uniform and went to the festival envoy's mansion in civilian clothes. The official uniform is too bright, and it is too eye-catching along the way.

Entering the envoy's mansion, the master told the envoy that he had left time to wait for Lu Sheng, which made Lu Sheng a little surprised. Those who can mix in the envoy's mansion are all talking less and doing more, and they can talk as little as possible.

This sentence is obviously what the torture reading signaled to him, and the meaning of the torture reading is self-evident, give a smile first, and don't refuse too ugly when the time comes. It seems that there is a lot of power behind it, so that the torture review can give himself a vaccination?

"Xia Guan has seen the festival envoy!" Lu Sheng entered the study of the torture review, and he was also full of etiquette.

"Lord Lu doesn't need to be polite, please sit down! Lord Lu, a few days ago, you asked this official to play the court's recital, and the court has already recovered. After the emperor read it, Long Yan Dayue said hello three times in the imperial study.

Lord Lu is already in the emperor's heart with this performance, and the future is just around the corner, and the future will be in the phase, which is also expected. Congratulations ......"

Lu Sheng listened to this kind word, even if he was thick-skinned, he couldn't stand it. It's not a lift, it's just a lift......

"The criminal master praised it falsely, and the lower officials were ashamed and didn't dare to take it. ”

"Lord Lu doesn't need to be modest, your militia strategy can be said to meet my urgent needs towards the frontier. There are no major wars on the frontier, but small frictions are constant. The imperial court sent a large army to suppress it, but the gains outweighed the losses, and the standing army was too much to consume. And you, the militia, have a strategy, hiding the soldiers among the people...... The end is wonderful. ”

"Since you have permission from the imperial court, the lower officials will start recruiting militia?"

"This ...... Then there's Lord Laulu. Xing Yue's face showed a faint unhappiness.

Lu Sheng's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood Xing Yue's thoughts. The reason for the previous goodwill, Lu Sheng immediately understood. The militia's strategy was offered by itself, and the first credit must be that he could not escape.

And the credit for this execution, Xing Yue wants. It stands to reason that Lu Sheng took over this guy directly, and others have nothing to say. But in officialdom, if you swallow all the benefits and don't give others soup to drink, that's also not tolerated by officialdom.

Xing Yue is young, and he is also a famous family of Dayu, making more friends and fewer enemies in the officialdom system is also the way to advance and retreat.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng hurriedly patted his head with a wry smile, "Look at the memory of the lower official, I was so happy that I forgot that there are still several cases to be handled under the lower official, but the matter of the militia is urgent...... No one knows when the bandits will come back to invade the country.

My lord, I'm afraid I don't have any extra time. ”

When Xing Yue heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at Lu Sheng's eyes, he immediately became a little more affectionate, "Lord Lu is young and promising, this militia strategy was created by Lord Lu, naturally it should be done by Lord Lu himself, how can this official be ......?"

"My lord, the lower officials really don't have extra time, and besides, although the militia is a temporary formation of the people, the training must not be sloppy, and it must be trained according to the methods of the regular army. Otherwise, the training will still be embarrassing for the rabble.

Xia Guan thought that the training would take at least three months. Although Xia Guan has a part-time job as the head of the Criminal Division of Tongnan Prefecture, he can't stay in Gangbuk Province for a long time after all. Although the militia is said to deal with the Japanese invaders, it is actually a century-old defense plan on the coast of the Yellow Sea, and it needs to be taken seriously.

The lower officials felt that it was most appropriate for the envoy to personally supervise it. First, the envoy is the chief official of Jiangbei Province, and the people trust and love, and secondly, he can also mediate the cooperation of various prefectures and counties.

As for the instructors who trained the militia, many of the people brought by the subordinates this time were from military backgrounds, and it was appropriate to use them as instructors to train the militia's subordinates. My lord...... What do you think?"

Speaking of this, if Xing Yue still pretends to be reserved, Lu Sheng won't play with him. Xing Yue's face suddenly bloomed, giving Lu Sheng a very relieved look from an old man.

"Since Brother Lu said so, then I'm not welcome, don't worry, train the militia, the old man is the right, you are the deputy, if there is a small merit in the future, you and I will not distinguish each other. ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

"By the way, listening to the people below, Lord Lu is like a god in investigating the case, and he actually solved the case at the scene of the crime and immediately found out the real murderer?" Xing Yue asked very casually.

Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, and the secret path really came, and then he pretended to be confused and showed a blank face, "What do you mean by ......?"

"In the case of the murder of Lai Chuntao, the proprietor of Dongcheng Yahang, didn't you catch the murderer Mrs. Nine on the spot?

Lu Sheng shook his head, "This case is still involved, and it is not easy for the lower officials to close the case." ”

"Is there still a involvement? Didn't the murderer confess his guilt on the spot and submit to the law?" Xing Yue asked suspiciously.

"It's a confession, but why did Lai Chuntao's concubine kill her husband? Killing Lai Chuntao didn't do her the slightest benefit. The lower officials traced that the identity of the Ninth Lady was not simple, it may be related to a killer organization, and the purpose of the murder was to buy murder. ”

"Oh?" Xing Yue's face didn't look like he was pretending to be surprised this time, "You mean, Lai Chuntao's death is still behind the scenes?"
