Chapter 209: Entrustment
When the four of us heard this, we were all shocked!
Riot? This must be a serious matter for the official, why does this Master Zhang in front of him not seem nervous, and it sounds like talking about family life?
Before I could ask a question, Zhang Han had already continued: "In a month's time, the imperial court will send someone to inspect the progress of this fortification. We now suspect that someone is planning to use this opportunity to make a splash, but it is not clear exactly what the purpose is. ”
I was confused and asked, "Since it's still being planned, how do you know that someone has such intentions?" ”
He lowered his head and muttered slightly, saying: "About half a month ago, one of my subordinates was found dead in his residence, without any external injuries, very much like he died of some sudden illness. Coincidentally, this person is responsible for keeping the design drawings of the Lishan Mausoleum fortifications, as well as the personnel files of all the personnel currently involved in the fortifications from top to bottom. ”
"Could it be that those materials have been stolen?" I asked.
He shook his head and said, "I sent someone to check all of them afterwards and found that nothing was missing. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and there was nothing missing......
Zhang Han probably also saw my doubts, and said: "Indeed, if this is just the case, it seems that nothing can be deduced. But not long ago, there was an incident of rioters attacking the outer defenses. Although most of the people had been eliminated or captured at that time, it is unknown how many people were behind them. The time is so close that I can't help but be wary. If it was really those people who were trying to get into trouble again, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with. ”
"I see. And how did Lord Zhang connect this matter with next month's patrol? I asked again.
"This ...... I guess it's a gut feeling. Zhang Han replied like this.
Speaking of ordinary people, their intuition is not very reliable most of the time, but Zhang Han is different, there are hundreds of thousands of laborers in this imperial mausoleum project, plus the guards of the military, and officials at all levels, the complexity of affairs and the complexity of the situation are absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people. He has been managing this kind of place for many years, and if he talks about intuition, it is not just a random thought, but an inspiration burst out of the accumulation of experience, and the credibility is still very high!
And a few of us have just arrived, I believe that Zhang Han will not give us 100% of the old bottom, some information is not convenient to explain, and it is normal to pass by with "intuition".
I immediately understood, nodded and said, "Understood." You mean that we want to get this into the ground before we go on patrol and nip a possible riot in the bud, right? ”
Zhang Han smiled and nodded, the stakes are very high, we all know it in our hearts, but I still admire him for being able to treat him so calmly.
Then, the next question is the name of exercising authority.
Without waiting for me to speak, Zhang Han said very actively: "I have already arranged, the four of you are only here to assist in this fortification, with my warrant, you can enter and exit most of the places here, and consult all kinds of case files, but secretly, I hope you can use this convenience to investigate this matter with all your might, if you find it, just tell me directly, and I hope you can keep it a secret for anyone else." ”
The four of us looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"And one last question," I asked suddenly, pretending to be light-hearted, "why did Master Zhang think of calling the four of us here?" If you really want to investigate the internal affairs of this fortification, I'm afraid it's the most convenient insider, right? ”
Zhang Han didn't feel surprised by my question at all, looked at me and said slowly: "As I said just now, I hope you can keep it a secret from anyone else. ”
I immediately understood that the scope of this secrecy was not only for the lowest and most popular laborers in this fortification, but also for the officials at all levels, and even the military personnel under General Wei Qi! In other words, the object of Zhang Han's suspicion now covers almost everyone within a hundred miles!
If this is the case, then the reason why we are here is self-evident. Compared with this fortification, the four of us are pure outsiders, although we may cause some inconvenience because we do not understand the situation, but it is almost impossible to have any interests with the people in it, and there is no reason to go along with anyone, and the risk will be greatly reduced!
As for not using other people in the court, it is also easy to understand. Now this matter is only in the stage of suspicion, if you report to the top, in case it is a false matter, it will inevitably be embarrassing, and Zhang Han is now the person in charge here, in case the top of the investigation really found out from under him the people who tried to participate in the rebellion, he will not escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty, and if he declares this matter, is it not digging his own grave?
And the four of us are just doormen under the guards of Hedong County, we don't have any official and half-position, and we are soft-spoken, even if we find out something and tell it, it is impossible for others to believe it. No matter how bad it is, even if the four of us are quietly wiped out, it won't cause any trouble.
I finally glanced at Zhang Han and thought: I just think too much about the hope of killing people and destroying mouths, but if the misfortune comes to that day, you will really understand what is called the four sages of Hedong!
After a while, Zhang Han had already written a warrant on a silk silk and handed it to me.
Seeing that the matter had basically been explained, I put the warrant away and was about to bow and leave, but Zhang Han suddenly turned his head to Sang Qing and the three of them and said, "Can you please wait outside the tent for a while?" I would like to have a few words with Mo Yan Gongzi. ”
I was stunned. But since he said so, the other three looked at me and retreated first.
"Young Master Mo Yan," Zhang Han said, "I have indeed heard a lot of your name. ”
"Don't be polite, just call me Mo Yan." I quickly corrected him, if this is about fame, how can I compare with him! It's just that it's not convenient for me to tell him about his future glory in advance.
"Hehe, it's all good, if you want to say the thing that impresses me the most, I'm afraid it's about the confrontation when Du Chunjun took office as the county punctual of Hedong County." He looked at me with a smile.
It's bad, listening to what he means, he wants to talk about Mo Yan's past, that is, the part I can't think of, if I can't answer correctly, won't I show a flaw on the spot!
He must be stopped! I hurriedly laughed and said, "It's all in the past, so don't mention it." Mo Yan is really just a mortal, and he can get a little famous, and he is really just thanks to the support of Lord Junshou. ”
"Don't be modest!" But he refused to give up, "Twilight Chun-kun is certainly knowledgeable, but your powerful help to him is also a fact. Others only know that Mo Yan Gongzi can speak well, and there are very few people who know the inside story, but I have the fortune to know it. Since then, I've been looking for a chance to see it, and it seems that this is the best opportunity to do so! ”
"Insider?" I was a little surprised.
He smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Mind Detection Technique, isn't it?" (To be continued.) )
