Chapter 600: Not King Qi
Chungui was robbed, and King Zhou couldn't care about hiding his identity at this time to continue the secret visit, he directly killed the Qingyang County Ya, and slapped the royal gold medal in front of the county order, he almost wanted to slap it on the county order's face! The county order surnamed Zhuo, has passed the age of not confused, he was born in a poor family, people to middle age to get famous, this is his second official position, originally heard that King Zhou supervised the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River when he was already trembling, especially after hearing that Lin'an County made such a terrifying case, but also since the arrival of the criminal cases have been checked one by one, for fear that there will be mistakes, how could he have expected that such a big case would happen under his rule!
Zhuo Xian Ling bowed his body, and he didn't dare to straighten his waist for a long time: "Xia Guan is really confused, don't say that since Xia Guan took office, he has traced back to Qingyang for 30 years, but he has never said that there was a bandit, this, this, this...... The subordinate official neglected to supervise, so that His Royal Highness was in danger, and the subordinate official deserved death. β
King Zhou didn't say that Chungui was robbed, and said with a cold face: "Now is not the time to investigate responsibility, there are more than a dozen peasant families in Jintang Village whose money and grain have been robbed, and a total of seven young people have been taken away by mountain bandits, don't you gather the government to search and patrol the mountain bandits' dens?" Money and food are enough, and the lives of the people must not be lost to the hands of bandits! β
But King Zhou also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to rely on the manpower of the county government, so he rushed back to Jintang Village to discuss with Lan Ting, and he suggested that he should go to Chizhou Mansion and mobilize the state guards with a golden order.
Lan Ting remained in Jintang Village, still living in the farmer's house, where he needed to wait for the robbers to contact him again to inform him of the ransom payment.
"The transfer of soldiers and guards is extremely risky, and it should be impeached by the two parties of King Qi and King Qin."
"Where else can I take care of so much at this time?" King Zhou said: "Chizhou Wei commanded Jiang Xiao, the old department of Yuezhang, and I should be able to mobilize him to lead the sergeants with the golden order in hand." β
"Your Highness, don't be impatient." Lan Ting still did not approve of the proposal.
"Don't be, these people are not ordinary mountain bandits at all, they actually have arrows and crossbows in their hands! Spring has returned and now has been robbed by this gang of outlaws, life and death are at stake! Are you really waiting for them to tell you to pay the ransom? King Zhou was in a hurry, and called out the name of the spring return.
Qu Kou, who had also rushed back at this time, couldn't help but feel shocked, because it seemed that King Zhou was indeed more anxious than Uncle Zhao, and with Zhao Lanting's keenness, he should be aware of it...... King Zhou's abnormality.
"It's because those people aren't mountain bandits that I'm sure they're not going to harm Uchiko, and they're going to do it
When it was to rob and kill His Royal Highness, they could have succeeded that night, why did they only rob Neiko? If they pretend to be bandits, they will definitely make us pay the ransom. β
The ditch is so anxious that the house is full of chaos...... Uncle Zhao was really wrong this time.
"And because it was Neiko who was robbed, I concluded that the purpose of this group of people was not to rob and kill His Highness at all, maybe it was to let us mess with ourselves, as long as Your Highness openly transferred troops with a gold medal, he would be criticized for plotting against him! Even Jin Guogong is afraid that he will be impeached by the enemy party because of this! β
"Are we really going to do this?"
"It's His Highness who is now deploying troops, do you know where to save people?" Lan Ting closed his eyes, he had never let go of the clenched fist, from the time Chungui was robbed until now, he actually never closed his eyes, he has been analyzing and judging, but he has no way to solve the doubts, he doesn't know why the gang of bandits wanted to rob Chungui, if it was just to force King Zhou to transfer troops, why not just rob him?
His deputy envoy was robbed, and King Zhou was more likely to mess with himself.
This sudden danger really made Deputy Envoy Zhao, who was like a god, feel flustered, only he knew that he was not as calm and calm as he appeared on the surface, all with a hint of luck...... He could only believe that Chungui would at least be able to appease the robbers and keep her safe for a while, and as long as she was safe and sound, he would definitely be able to think of a way to save her from returning.
Lan Ting opened his eyes for a long time: "We must wait for evidence, if it can be confirmed that this robbery and killing hurt His Highness's safety, and it is related to the competition for the prince, His Highness can use the golden order to recruit the Chizhou Jinyi Health Department to investigate the lawless!" This is different from the transfer of troops, and naturally it will not trigger impeachment in the court. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the chief of Jintang Village, who was in charge of the jurisdiction, rushed inβ
It turned out that a member of the Qingzhuang who was robbed last night was actually released, he was blindfolded and sent to a certain deserted outskirts, and the mountain bandit actually left him a road fee, he first asked all the way back to Qingyang County, and then rented a donkey cart to rush back to Jintang Village, and found out a letter that the robber stuffed in his arms, and handed it to the chief of security who was shocked by this big case and came to Jintang Village in person.
The chief didn't dare to open the letter privately, so he hurriedly sent it to King Zhou and Lan Ting for a look.
This letter was written by Chungui himself, and when he looked at it from the sidelines, he could see that most of the contents of the letter were instructed by the leader, to the effect that they only wanted to rob a sum of money, food and manpower, but as a result, they found out that a group of passing merchants happened to stay in Jintang Village, so they kidnapped one of them to extort ransom, and they never thought that it was a woman who was kidnapped
Son, the "meat ticket" was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed, so he made threats, claiming to be the family of Deputy Envoy Zhao, and there was also King Zhou with him!
Of course, the robbers didn't plan to just need 5,000 gold, not only did the lion open his mouth to multiply the ransom several times, but also asked His Royal Highness King Zhou to deliver the ransom in person.
At the end of the letter, Chun Gui seemed to be afraid that King Zhou would not save him when he saw death, and he was also worried that Lan Ting would give up her and be righteous, so he begged Lan Ting to persuade her, she dared to guarantee that the robbers were just trying to make money, and did not dare to hurt King Zhou.
ββThe pen is difficult to worry about. I don't look forward to the true white head of the oath, but I hope that you have not forgotten. After two years of raising his eyebrows, how can he endure the death of his temples, and he will not only serve the king.
Qu Chu watched from the sidelines and even cried and laughed a little, of course this little order was not dictated by the leader, I didn't expect Gu Yiren to be in the mood to convey poetry in such a dangerous situation, could it be that she was really worried that King Zhou and Zhao Lanting would die if they would be saved?
"I'll go! I'll pay the ransom, and I'll see if those bandits dare to kill me!" King Zhou didn't care about Chungui's small order to persuade his right-hand man not to only care about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and to abandon the love of husband and wife, and immediately go to danger to save people.
"If Your Highness goes, the bandits will dare to kill." Lan Ting said coldly, and then he also got up, and there was a stumble under his feet, he held on to the corner of the table to stand firmly, and it took a long time for his calves to be no longer stiff, and he opened the pen case he carried with him and took out a lead box from it: "Uchiko conveyed the key information to us through Xiaoling, and this is still the time I listened to her when I was chatting with her. β
After sketching, there were only four words left in the small order, and he hurriedly took a look - it was not King Qi!
"Not King Qi?" King Zhou also saw the remaining four words of Xiao Ling: "Then it must be King Qin!" β
"It's not King Qin either." Lan Ting lost the lead: "The news that Neizi wants to convey is not only to choose the King of Qi, she has used a secret text to inform the non-King of Qi, but in fact, it is to tell us that although this matter is related to the competition for the prince, at least in terms of the current situation, it has nothing to do with the King of Qi and the King of Qin, otherwise, with the wisdom of Neizi, I only need to change the small order slightly, and it is completely certain that we can tell us that the mastermind behind the scenes is the King of Qin, Neizi only said." It's not', it should be that the name of the person behind the scenes can't be applied to the ciphertext without being detected by the bandits who kidnapped Neizi, I think that the mastermind behind the scenes should be Zheng Xiu, the Duke of Wei. β
Qu was dumbfounded: Sure enough, Deputy Zhao made Uncle Zhao and Gu Yiren have a good heart, and this matter seems to have really turned around!
