Chapter 519: The county is on the way
The Governor was angry. But now that he knew who had taken the lady captive, the Governor's heart was a little calmer. After all, compared with not knowing who did it at all, knowing that it was Cao County's order, Mrs. can at least ensure safety,
Madame's safety was the only bargaining chip for Cao Xianling to negotiate conditions with him, the governor. With one less hair, one less lady, one can imagine what the Governor would do.
"You continue to check for me, no matter how big Lao Cao's ability is, you have to find our people in Chengdu to do this, and you have to find a way to find out if there are any recent changes in those green forest roads in Chengdu, whether it is an old gang or a new gang. There is no relationship in the old gang that Lao Cao has laid out a long time ago, not to mention the new gang, maybe you will do it if you give more money, and now in this world, young people will do it if they give money, and they dare to gamble with their lives, who else will tell you what morality. "The Governor ordered the steward to intensify his investigation.
In Chengdu, with the power of the Governor's Mansion, there are still many things that cannot be touched, after all, Chengdu is too big, and there is also a Shu Wangfu to resist. But even so, if the Governor's Mansion wants to investigate things, as long as it uses more snacks and a little luck, it can still find out.
The housekeeper is attentive, of course, there is no doubt about it, then the next thing is mainly to look at luck.
If Cao Xianling is really looking for someone from Chengdu's Green Forest Road, especially a gang with a big name, then as long as he is a little lucky, he can find clues.
The Governor's Office has enough manpower, but there are also many government affairs that need to be dealt with many times, and the imperial court affairs are often too busy during the busy season. But now this season that has just passed, there are not many things. There are still a lot of people who can use it for scattering.
The steward took the order, and in two hours, he ran seven or eight places in Chengdu, and asked more than twenty people, all of whom were among the best in Chengdu. The white way doesn't need to say much, and the underworld is obedient.
In this peaceful day in the world, the so-called underworld must also have a lot of white road relationships to survive. If you want to have a relationship, then you naturally have to be obedient. Within a certain range, you can do some black things, and once you cross the line, you will be asking for your own death.
Therefore, the steward of the Governor's Mansion stood in front of them, whether it was a gangster with three or five hundred or one or two thousand or even tens of thousands of junior brothers under his hands, they were all too high to be taller.
The two biggest people in Shu are the king of Shu and the governor, and the housekeeper is the most confidant of the governor, can they not be afraid.
All of them, without exception, obediently knew everything and said everything, and as long as the housekeeper asked, they knew what to say, and did not dare to hide it in the slightest.
"My lord, we have always been law-abiding, and we will never do anything that harms the country and the people, so let's just eat... Please be aware of it. The boss of the Copper Hammer Gang no longer had the arrogance he had when he spoke on weekdays, hunched his waist, and quietly stuffed a few hundred taels of silver tickets into the butler's sleeve.
Caution is one thing, and there is also the fact that I can't say it clearly but I am happy in my heart, and finally talk to the steward of the Governor's Mansion face to face, which is simply impossible in normal times. Now not only can I talk face to face, but I can also stuff some silver into the butler's hand, and then I can go out and brag in the future.
The housekeeper knows me and has a good relationship with me.
No one dares to question this sentence, even if anyone asks me in front of the housekeeper, the housekeeper will nod and say a few hundred taels of silver, well, I have seen it.
After asking the housekeeper, go back and report to the Governor.
"No anomalies have been found for the time being, but several gangs have confessed to some recent irregularities in other rival gangs.
These Green Forest gangsters didn't actually know that the Governor's wife had been kidnapped, but seeing that the steward was very serious, they knew that there must be something important, and while they were clearing themselves, they would also use this to put some pressure and difficulties on the hostile gangs.
Among the movements of the other gangs that those people confessed, there were several suspicious movements, and I was telling the people below to find out.
I don't know if I can find something useful.
I'm also going to wait and use the dark lines that I usually lay out, so that they can check it again. ”
After hearing this, the Governor nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work." ”
"My lord, if there is something wrong with the lady, it is the dereliction of duty of the old slave, how can you say that it is hard. The old slave is now worried that his wife will not eat and sleep well, and if I go to bed later that night, it would be good if I could take precautions in advance. Alas, damn the old slave!" the butler was ashamed.
The Governor patted the butler on the shoulder and said: "It's no wonder to you, it's hard for you to prevent someone with a heart to do things, even if they don't do it that night, they can do it the next day when the lady goes out shopping, or when you go to the temple to offer incense, there is always a chance to find it, after all, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and I can't prevent it." You just try your best to check, in my estimation, since it is Cao County's ploy, he will definitely not leave a trace, and he can't afford to lose. It's up to me to talk to him. ”
The butler nodded, ashamed in his heart. He also knew that he was just doing his best, and it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to find something, but he still had to check it.
---
The county lord has been on the ship for three or four days, and he will be in Chengdu in a few days.
The prefectural lord would come out of his cabin every day for a walk, and although in fact the prefectural lord could walk slowly on his own, in order to match his recovery speed in front of people, he always asked someone to help him walk. And it went several times slower than it should have been.
The scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful, and it is the twilight of spring, the beautiful scenery is even more pleasing to the eye, the county lord often has feelings, blurted out a few poems, and the businessmen who followed him applauded one after another.
Every day, the county lord gives these businessmen an hour to follow him, and during this hour, these people can talk to him. But other than that, no one is allowed to bother.
These merchants tried all kinds of ways to give gifts to the county lord, but the county lord refused all of them, and told them, if you really want to give me things, you can use these things to build a road and pave a bridge, and then each of them wrote down how much money they gave and gave me the account book, which is the greatest gift to me. I will always remember your efforts, and the people of Bazhong City will always remember and thank you forever.
Hearing what the county lord said, these businessmen greatly praised the lord for thinking about the people all the time, and at the same time, they no longer mentioned the matter of gifts.
This is a gift, although it is to do things for the people, but no matter how much money is spent, the county lord has not caught a copper plate, of course the adults will not remember them. Thinking about it this way, of course, none of them want to give gifts anymore.
The county lord didn't ask them, didn't expose their little thoughts, he just said it casually, and didn't want to accept their courtesy and just make an excuse.
