Chapter 16: Good News
At this time, Cheng Liu did not realize that the real problem had not been solved, and seven corpses were found in the city one after another, including ordinary homeless people and some shop owners.
The owner of the pawnshop on Sifang Street was taken directly to the county guard's mansion, and Cheng Liu sat on a high seat, looking at this person coldly.
"The Huns entered the city, does it have anything to do with you?"
The pawnshop owner was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a pair of small and thiefy eyes, and when he heard Cheng Liu's question, he immediately kowtowed.
"The big official, it has nothing to do with the grass people! I stayed in the pawnshop last night and never went out, and my family can testify! ”
Soon, his family members were also brought over, and Cheng Liu asked again: "Two Huns entered your pawnshop last night, did you see it?" ”
This woman was the wife of the pawnshop shopkeeper, and she quickly shook her head, her face a little panicked.
"Back to the big officials, I didn't see it."
"But yesterday evening, someone saw two Huns enter your pawnshop, and talked for about half an hour, for such a long time, didn't you see it?"
Cheng Liu was angry, and it was obvious that the shopkeeper's family was lying.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper shouted with a crying voice: "Someone did come in yesterday evening to be a thing, but we took a look, it was just an ordinary jade bracelet, and it couldn't be used as a few dollars at all, so we let them go back first, but they were still bargaining, and the small ones were doing business, so they couldn't drive people away, right?" ”
Cheng Liu snorted coldly: "Then why didn't you just say it directly?" ”
"The little ones didn't find out that they were Huns, because their accent was indeed from Danyang County, so they didn't think of that."
As soon as he heard this, Cheng Liu was suddenly a little surprised.
"Sixteen counties in Danyang County are so big, can you tell which place it is?"
"It's from our Wanling side, and, big official, the two people I saw last night, I can almost conclude that they are from our side, if it's a Hun person, the accent can be heard as soon as you hear it."
This is true, Cheng Liu has also looked up information in this area before, even if the Huns have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, the accent is still very strong, this is related to their pronunciation, and the official dialect here is indeed not fluent.
"Do you know where they're coming from and where they're going?"
"The big official, the little one is just a businessman, and I'm not embarrassed to ask about this kind of thing, but it rained last night, so it got dark very early, so the little one lit the lamp early, and through the light, I saw that there seemed to be a mark on the neck of one of them."
Imprint?
"What kind of pattern?"
"It's like an animal, it looks like a snake, it looks like an earthworm, it's something like that."
At this time, someone submitted the autopsy report of all the corpses, and the servants of this era were not very proficient in autopsy, because they were not very familiar with the inside of the human body, so they could only conclude that they were killed and killed by what weapons, but they could not confirm what time period it was.
One of them made Cheng Liu a little surprised, these people were all killed by a weapon, and this kind of scimitar was not sold in the city, and even in the entire Danyang County, except for some hunters who would put this kind of scimitar in their homes, it was rare to see anyone wearing it.
So Cheng Liu thought of something and asked directly: "Did the two people you saw last night wear scimitars?" ”
The shopkeeper thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and nodded again.
"Is there any?"
"Yes, there is, but one of them does. The man didn't like to talk much, just stood to the side, and then looked out the door from time to time, and my attention was on the jade bracelet at that time, and I didn't pay attention to this person, but the scimitar in his hand was always held tightly. Because I was timid, I watched it a few times. ”
As soon as this is said, the cause and effect will be figured out, the Huns in the city and the people in the city have colluded, as for what to do, maybe it is related to water conservancy facilities, or just want to create some turmoil.
The shopkeeper touched the sweat on his forehead at this time, and asked with some trepidation: "Big official, did they do all these murders?" ”
Cheng Liu nodded slightly: "Yes, and there are a lot of them, don't open your pawnshop during this time, and then resume after I find out where these people are." ”
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
Xu Zuo has already returned, so Cheng Liu will let the shopkeeper go back first.
"Big official, there is a reply to the flying pigeon."
After Cheng Liu took it, he immediately opened it to see that Jianye sent 10,000 elite soldiers, and the soldiers were divided into three ways, one part directly crossed the Danyang Horizontal Stone City, and the other part was to solve the difficulty of Dian Wei, from the perspective of time, this time had already arrived at Dian Wei.
"According to the development of this situation, Shicheng should be able to work today, you prepare, after Shicheng is captured, it will be handed over to you, let Lao Dian come back first."
Xu Zuo nodded slightly, suddenly realized something, and asked with some surprise: "That old man went to Stone City, what should I do with this Wanling?" ”
Cheng Liu smiled and said softly: "You are old, there are many things in the county guard mansion on weekdays, and you have to move around more, it is not convenient for you to go to Shicheng, you can manage it well, and I will often visit you when I have time in the future." ”
Xu Zuo's eyes were a little cloudy, and he bowed slightly after a moment.
"Thank you Childe in advance."
Hearing this title, Cheng Liu just smiled slightly, waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat first.
After putting away the autopsy report, Cheng Liu sighed heavily.
The sweet potato was thoughtfully brewed in a pot of tea and brought it up.
"Childe, I have already asked Qiuhong to go out to find them, and the scouts and spies in the army are also searching, it shouldn't take long to find out where they are hiding."
Cheng Liu smiled helplessly: "As long as they are in the city for a day, I won't be able to sleep well for a day." ”
Sweet potato gently kneaded his shoulder, and only after a while did he say softly: "Xiudong sent news from Yingchuan, and the person that Gongzi said was found." ”
Cheng Liu was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the time to be so fast, it was only two days.
"Is the news confirmed?"
Sweet potato nodded slightly: "It has been confirmed in the county guard's mansion, plus Yingchuan County itself also has our secret stake, and the news was quickly confirmed." And the son was relieved, he didn't startle the snake, but just sent someone to pay attention. ”
Cheng Liu was originally a little depressed, but now he is extremely excited.
There are endless talents in the entire Yingchuan County, and the reason why the first person Cheng Liu wants to find is Xu Shu is because in order to govern the sixteen counties well and annex the surrounding counties, there must be a military division.
Wu Youdianwei, Wen Youxu Shu, these two people cooperated, and then the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, wouldn't he have the final say?
Seeing that Cheng Liu was so happy, Sweet Potato couldn't help but smile and said, "Childe, who is this Xu Shu?" ”
