Chapter 67: The Secret of the Token
Gu Changqing looked at the token in his hand, thinking about what Shen Qiuyuan had just said.
He couldn't be sure how many of them were authentic, but he had a chance to find out if it was true or not.
This Yong'an City is located in the eastern part of the northern border, but several cities to the west are under the protection of the Dragon Guard, which is directly under the control of the royal family.
The Dragon Guard Army is a common name for all the border armies of the Dajin Kingdom, and according to the border position it defends, it is divided into four Dragon Guard armies in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
The northern border of Daikin is vast and wide, and as far as the eye can see, it is all a vast expanse, not like the lofty mountains and mountains in the south, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but not like the plateau in the west that is bitter and cold all day long, and not like the sea in the east, which has a unique advantage.
Therefore, this Northern Dragon Guard, but there are 200,000 troops stationed here all the year round, and the general who happened to be stationed in Yong'an City, Gu Changqing, has had several fates.
Before he came to this Yong'an City, all the big and small things here were handled by him, a commander who led the army to fight, but he had to deal with some trivial matters between the masses every day, and he also had to take out time to find evidence everywhere to solve the case.
Gu Changqing still remembers that on the day he came, when he handed over things, the general looked relieved, and it felt like he had finally thrown out the hot coals in his hand.
At that time, he also left a word for Gu Changqing, saying that the work of the county order was not done by people.
Gu Changqing just smiled, this person who was used to fighting on the battlefield naturally didn't like this kind of ugly and dark murder case in the county government all day long.
Later, the two met several times, once during the event, he was in charge of the entire security work, and another time, when he accidentally met him on the street a few days ago, and the two just talked a few words lightly.
But he should still be in Yong'an City now, and with his identity, he is not afraid that it will be difficult to find.
And those corpses and bones look like they have been at least seven or eight years old, whether it is Yan Guo's identity is another matter, because the case itself is already a headless unsolved case, but he just feels that something is not quite right in his heart, and he vaguely feels that there seems to be a bigger secret hidden in it.
He didn't know why this feeling arose, just like in Li Hongsheng's case, he just felt that all this was not the end.
Although, he knew that this inexplicable feeling was probably his own overthinking, but he couldn't rest assured if he didn't take a thorough look.
--------------------
At this time, Gu Changqing was sitting opposite Ban Chao, the general of Dingyuan of the Northern Dragon Guard, this man, with a righteous face, and the momentum on his body could make people feel difficult to breathe, which may be the unique feeling of people who kill on the battlefield.
"Master Gu, are you looking for me in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" Ban Chao looked at the delicate Gu Changqing and asked.
"It's something. General Ban, look at this thing? ”
As he spoke, Gu Changqing took out the token given by Shen Qiuyuan and showed it to him.
Ban Chao took it over, and his face instantly became a little hideous, this thing he was most familiar with, just like those enemy troops on the battlefield, the most familiar and the most hated by him.
"This is the marching order of the Northern Yan army. I don't know how Master Gu has this? ”
Hearing this, Gu Changqing was taken aback, marching order, how could such an important thing appear here.
"Back then, I once captured a general of the Northern Yan army, and the military order he held was probably like this, although the subtleties are still a little different, but only the Northern Yan will use this kind of sun order.
They are located in the cold of the north, and they are less exposed to the sun every year, and the grain yield is not satisfactory because of the lack of light and heat. Therefore, this sun is the god in their hearts, and their token is the sun order, and you look at the tiger painted on the sun order, that is
They are enough tokens to mobilize the army.
Although it doesn't seem to be a token that can command the entire southern border army of Yan Kingdom, it's still possible to mobilize a small team?! ”
Ban Chao's voice was rough and powerful, but in this, Gu Changqing faintly heard a little cold.
"We found a few bones a few days ago, probably seven or eight years old, and this token was found in those bones." Gu Changqing deliberately concealed Shen Qiuyuan's turn and said directly.
"Seven or eight years ago." Ban Chao whispered in his mouth, thinking hard about the past in his mind.
"I remember that there was a big event seven or eight years ago, and it caused a flurry. At that time, the county order of Yong'an City was still Zhou Caisheng, and at that time, there were some Yan people mixed in the city, quite a few, and later Zhou Caisheng seemed to be aware of it, after all, this kind of large-scale people coming in is definitely not an ordinary thing, and in the border city, even a little wind and grass may cause a bloody storm. Thinking of those situations, Ban Chao seemed to remember it vividly.
"Later, Zhou Caisheng found me, and although I didn't like him, this kind of thing still caught my attention. At that time, I was also blamed for being careless, which caused many Yan people to mix in the caravan.
Later, we began to work together to conduct a large-scale investigation in the city, and even people like Zhou Caisheng were doing their best, for fear that they would do something irreparable. Later, those people seemed to notice that we were conducting an investigation, and soon, they disappeared overnight without knowing what method they used.
Later, after a thorough and strict investigation of the border line and the use of our informants in Northern Yan, we got the news that most of them had indeed returned to Yan Kingdom. But a small number of people still disappeared inexplicably, and there was no trace of them in the entire city.
We feared that they had infiltrated the city and worked together, but in the end we couldn't find this small group.
But I thought it was strange at the time that it was those who had already gone back, why did these Yanguo people come to Yong'an City in large numbers to take a walk? But he returned to Yan Kingdom silently.
Later, after a long time, those people did not make any disturbance, although there were some rumors in the city, but it was also stable, and we did not continue to investigate, and the matter was gradually forgotten.
After you just said that, I wondered if those bones could be the bones of the small part of the Yan people who were left behind. But this token, could it be that they didn't follow any orders back then? ”
After Ban Chao said almost, he slowly drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat.
Gu Changqing was also thinking about this, but he suddenly thought of something, "Those corpses are very strange, one of them seems to have been dismembered by someone, if they were, then something important must have happened back then, have you heard?!" ”
"Those people disappeared as we tracked them down, and they disappeared like shadows, and I don't know what was going on in them. But with such a murderous method, could it be that there was a problem between them? Or ......" Ban Chao paused, stared at Gu Changqing with his eyes, and made an action to wipe his neck.
Gu Changqing understood that what he meant was to prevent what they had done from being revealed, so after the matter was over, these people were secretly disposed of.
In fact, not only Gu Changqing felt incredible, but even Ban Chao felt a chill in his heart.
He has been on the border for so many years, and he is not afraid to go to the battlefield to fight, but if some people make small moves behind their backs, he really hates it incomparably, isn't it good to put everything in the open? I have to mess up some messy things, and the whole border is in a miasma.
But he just clenched his fists and continued, "You know, at the border, it's not just those things on the battlefield, in fact, most of the confrontations and struggles are carried out in private, and the battlefield is just a general manifestation of these private struggles after they are saturated.
But if those people really came with some mission or secret, then why haven't there been any movement at the border for so many years? ”
