Chapter 801: Vigilance
"We must get rid of that bandit as soon as possible."
Qin Fan narrowed his eyes, had a preliminary idea in his heart, and immediately got up and left the yamen, and walked towards Nanling City with Liu Wenzheng.
There was no word all the way, and in the evening, the two arrived at the gate of Nanling City.
"Someone." The guards raised their swords and scolded, their eyes wary.
Qin Fan took out his official seal and said lightly, "This official is ordered to investigate the bandit case."
"Oh." The guards looked much more solemn.
Qin Fan threw him a silver coin, then pushed the door and walked into the city, went straight to the county office, and handed over the official seal.
"This official is the head of the Qingzhou Mansion and is ordered to help you solve the case."
The guard soldier took the official seal, carefully checked it, and immediately sent someone to inform Lord Guncheng after he was sure that it was correct.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears and a brocade dress walked out with a smile.
"It turned out to be the Qin County Order, welcome welcome."
Qin Fan hugged his fists and said, "With Lord Lao Juncheng personally greeting him, Qin is ashamed."
The middle-aged man's name was Song Renyi.
He served as a county magistrate in Qingling County, was in charge of prisons, was the leader of the county government, and was deeply valued by the imperial power.
As an ordinary person, Qin Fan can be regarded as a special honor to be able to condescend to him.
"Haha, Qin County is polite."
Song Renyi smiled, and then said, "Please come with me."
"Please." Qin Fan followed behind Song Renyi and went to the county mansion together.
In the hall of the county mansion, the tea has already been prepared.
"Qin County Order, please use tea."
Song Renyi smiled and said, "I heard that this time the Qin County Order helped to arrest the bandits, the emperor is very happy, and decided to reward you, I hope you can accept it."
"The emperor is very kind, and Qin is grateful."
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "The emperor's grace is mighty, and I will keep it in my heart."
"Well, that's good."
Song Renyi praised: "Qin County Ling has a pure character, and the emperor is wise."
Qin Fan smiled wryly.
Lao Tzu doesn't care about any rewards at all, even if he gives me mountains of gold and silver, he doesn't bother to collect them.
However, the emperor's reward, he will definitely take it.
After all, this is the emperor's grace and deserves it.
Qin Fan said slightly, "Song Juncheng, I heard that the bandit gang will attack the city in the near future?"
"That's right."
Song Juncheng nodded.
"That's good."
Qin Fan grinned and said, "I, a person who naturally likes to suppress bandits, especially bandit gangs, and I hate them to the core, if I can, I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses."
"Ahem."
Song Juncheng almost choked to death, forced a smile, waved his hand and said, "I am in charge of this task of suppressing bandits, Qin County Ling can rest assured."
"That's good."
Qin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll leave first."
"Wait."
Song Juncheng waved his hand, "During this time, you will stay in the mansion to rest, and by the way, urge Liu Wenzheng to solve the case."
"Ugh."
Qin Fan was stunned, this product was deliberately making things difficult.
"Don't want to?" Song Juncheng stiffened his face, "Then forget it, you can leave now."
"No, no, no."
Qin Fan waved his hand and smiled, "It's just that I just came back from out of town, and my body is dirty, so I'm afraid of disturbing the peace of Lord Juncheng."
"It doesn't matter." Song Juncheng said with a smile: "There is a courtyard in my house, which has been vacant for a long time, just so that Qin County Ling can stay for a few days."
The corners of Qin Fan's mouth twitched, and he scolded in his heart, "Old fox, you actually took the opportunity to take advantage of me."
"Thank you Song Juncheng." Qin Fan thanked him.
Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I just stay and play.
Following.
Qin Fan washed up, changed into new clothes, and after breakfast, took Liu Wenzheng to Nanling City.
Because it was sent last night
The incident of the thief was discussed in the streets and alleys, so Qin Fan and the three of them were quite eye-catching when they walked on the street.
"Stop."
Suddenly, a group of black-armored guards rushed over and surrounded Qin Fan and the three of them.
The leader said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Liu Wenzheng pointed at Qin Fan.
The Commander glanced at the ornament on his arm, frowned and whispered, "This is the Forbidden Army's waist card, who are you?"
"Forbidden Army?" Liu Wenzheng and Li Dahu were stunned.
Qin Fan said calmly, "We are Qincha from Kyoto."
Kyoto Chincha? The Commander froze.
Although he did not participate in the suppression of bandits, he also knew that the Kyoto Qincha, who was a person with real power, how could he suddenly come to Nanling City?
"Commander."
At this time, a squad leader hurriedly ran over and muttered a few words in the commander's ear.
"Huh?"
The commander's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said respectfully, "My subordinates have seen Lord Qincha."
"Excuse me." Qin Fan said.
The Commander hurriedly retreated to the sides.
"Your Excellency, are you the Chincha-sama?"
The surrounding soldiers exclaimed in surprise, their expressions more wonderful than seeing a ghost.
Qin Fan said proudly, "It's like a fake."
Everyone gasped, and Lord Chincha turned out to be a young man.
This Nima is so shocking.
"Your Excellency."
Liu Wenzheng said weakly, "Didn't you come to find my master?"
"That's right." Qin Fan pouted and said, "But he doesn't have time to see me."
Everyone almost spurted blood, and the dignified Lord was turned away.
"This." Liu Wenzheng scratched his head.
Qin Fan said coldly, "What are you doing here, hurry up and take me to see your master."
"Yes, yes."
Liu Wenzheng nodded.
A moment later, Qin Fan came to a simple mansion.
The door plaque reads the word Qinfu.
"Your Excellency, please come in." Liu Wenzheng opened the door.
"Hmm." Qin Fan opened his legs and walked in.
The house is not big, only two entrances, but the decoration is quite elegant and chic.
There is an ancient tree in the courtyard, the shade of the tree is dense, the flowers and plants are flourishing, the scenery is beautiful and charming, just like a picture of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Huh?"
Qin Fan was surprised and said, "The layout of this mansion seems ordinary, if there is no silver tael, it will never be possible to do this."
"Qin County has good eyesight."
Liu Wenzheng admired and said, "The layout in this house is arranged by my ancestor himself."
"That's right."
Liu Wenzheng smiled and said, "Your Excellency is coming to Nanling City for the first time, do you want to go around with me?"
"It's fine."
Qin Fan readily agreed, "I'm here this time mainly to catch the bandits."
"Wait a minute, sir."
Liu Wenzheng greeted and walked towards the room, and after a while, he took out a map and spread it out, pointing to a brief topographic map drawn on the ground.
"This is the approximate extent of the bandits' den."
"Huh?"
Qin Fan stared at Yutu, his eyebrows furrowed, "The bandits' den is built on top of the mountain?"
Liu Wenzheng nodded and said, "Yes."
Qin Fan rubbed his forehead, a little speechless, "Are you sure they will stay at the top of the mountain?"
Liu Wenzheng said with a smile: "The cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they will not be stupid enough to expose important positions to the government, so basically the number of people in each rudder will not exceed three hundred."
"Oh."
"At this distance, it's not so easy to catch them."
Liu Wenzheng said with a smile: "My lord, my master said that a few soldiers will be arranged to fight with you today, and I will ensure that nothing goes wrong."
