Chapter 194: Cliff Corner Rice
It is troublesome to have anything to do with the military, and it is troublesome to do good things and bad things.
People who are not members of the military will never deal with the military unless absolutely necessary.
Tan Zhiqiang's head catcher is no exception.
Three words - can't be provoked.
It is better not to solve this case than to provoke the military.
If these people are really related to the military, not to mention Tan Zhiqiang, Xia Xueyi and Jiao Kaicheng will also choose to settle things and calm people when nothing happens.
Including Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping has seen the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers.
To say one-on-one, he is not afraid.
However, a soldier never plays one-on-one combat with you, but rather a crowd of people.
Most of the county soldiers in Jianyang County are ordinary people, but after being equipped with the matching magic weapon Wenbao, the combat effectiveness of the outbreak is quite strong.
Moreover, most of the officers were monks.
What's more, there are soldiers and monks in the regular army.
These warrior monks are actually a branch of Confucian and Taoist monks, but they specialize in the magic power of defeating the enemy on the battlefield, or command formations, or strengthen combat power, or boost morale, or integrate combat power, and even weaken enemy soldiers in a targeted manner.
There are even some monks who have researched some supernatural powers to restrain high-ranking monks, which can integrate the combat power of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers, so that ordinary soldiers can burst out with terrifying lethality.
One of the most famous is the "Spirit Wolf Smoke".
The Essence Wolf Smoke is a combination of the blood and courage and murderous spirit that burst out from ordinary soldiers, and can restrain almost all spell cultivators.
The Taoist Gate and Buddhism are so weak in front of the majestic spirit and wolf smoke that they are not like words, and what Taoism and Buddhism are about to collapse.
Even the Confucian and Taoist monks were restrained, and under the suppression of the essence and wolf smoke, the literary qi could not even gather normally.
The sword intent of the sword cultivation is similar to the essence wolf smoke, and it can barely be opposed, but it is also very difficult to fight against the power of tens of thousands of elites on its own.
Only martial arts monks are not afraid of essence and smoke, because the true qi cultivated by martial arts monks comes from within, their strength comes from themselves, and their physique is strong enough.
But also just not restrained.
If you want to fight against an army with spirit on your own, you must be strong to a certain extent, otherwise it will be useless.
If the Man in Black is from an army.
Seriously.
Don't say that the fast class doesn't dare to investigate.
Even Liu Feifei, the commander of the six doors, could only endure this breath for the time being.
The wealthy family will be destroyed if it is destroyed.
Army......
Whoever touches it dies.
The military itself will not tolerate outsiders meddling.
The emperor was also reluctant to attack the army without being sure.
In case of misunderstanding, the military raised a flag and shouted Qingjun's side......
Xu Taiping thought of the current situation, and suddenly felt a numb scalp.
But still shook his head: "Not from the military." ”
Tan Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief and kept saying, "That's good, that's good." ”
Then he asked: "If you are not from the military, who else can it be?" ”
Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes: "Of course, it is a private armed force formed in imitation of the military establishment. ”
"This ...... Anti-thief? ”
"Isn't it that the thief doesn't know, anyway, the establishment is exactly the same as the Great Jin army," Xu Taiping casually rolled up a whistle: "I counted, there are a total of ten such whistles, and there are sixty people in black here, that is to say, six people with a whistle, are you familiar with it?" ”
Tan Zhiqiang nodded with a dark face: "The Great Jin Army, six people in one army, one of them is the captain, the captain of the army must be cultivated in at least the third-rate realm, from the seventh grade, he is a serious officer, and he eats the imperial court." ”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Even the most basic military commander is an officer from the seventh grade, and he eats the imperial court, and he is directly distributed to his home, but the hands of the military.
Therefore, the Great Jin Dynasty had a strong control over the army.
Of course.
Xu Taiping only knew a little about it, after all, he had not really come into contact with the regular army of the Great Jin Dynasty.
County soldiers?
That's just a bunch of vigilantes.
In the regular army, even the men who cook and the horsemen who lead the horses are all martial arts cultivators who have entered the Tao.
Otherwise, why fight against the powerful demon clan?
So.
It can be seen from the number of whistles worn by this group of black-clothed people that this is an imitation of the army of the Great Jin Dynasty.
It also shows that the organization of this group of men in black is definitely not ordinary.
Ambitions are great.
Thinking of this, Xu Taiping took the whistle in his hand and observed it carefully, and handed it to Tan Zhiqiang after a while: "Look at the workmanship of these whistles." ”
Tan Zhiqiang looked at a cup of tea over and over again, found nothing, and said with a smile: "Brother, you can just say the answer." ”
Xu Taiping was helpless.
This Tan Zhiqiang really doesn't have any detective ability that a head catcher should have in addition to being able to fight.
That's right, too.
The county-level headcatchers are mainly aimed at monks, and being able to fight is the most important.
Thinking so, he said casually: "This whistle is not a magic weapon, it is made of ordinary steel sheets, and the shape is similar to the whistle we use to catch fast shifts, but the process is completely different." ”
"What's the difference?"
"Our whistles are uniformly made and distributed by the Ministry of Industry, and the craftsmen who make these whistles have to do I don't know how many times a day, and they have been making this thing all their lives, and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, and they can be made with their eyes closed."
"What about this whistle? I don't think it makes a difference. ”
"The craftsmanship of this whistle is more exquisite, although it is also handmade, but every detail is impeccable, even the inside of the whistle has been carefully polished, there is no burr in sight, and the materials are more exquisite, the quality of the steel sheet is better, and the sound of blowing is more crisp and melodious."
Speaking of which, raise your chin: "You blow and try." ”
Tan Zhiqiang blew the whistle in disbelief.
"Toot-"
A crisp whistle was heard far away.
attracted the attention of the nearby officials and officials of the government.
Tan Zhiqiang nodded this time: "Listen carefully, there is indeed a difference, but what does this mean?" ”
Xu Taiping stretched out a finger: "First, it shows that the manpower of this organization is not very large, and the demand for whistles is not large, so the craftsmen have the conditions and patience to make the whistle so exquisite." ”
"And the second?"
"Second, it proves once again that this organization is very rich and willing to invest so much to be a whistle."
Tan Zhiqiang was terrified: "In other words, this group of people comes from a well-disciplined, wealthy, imitation of the army's establishment and training methods, but with a ruthless style. ”
"Yes."
"What do they want to do? Why did you attack the Bright Moon Tower? ”
"This will only be known after the mastermind is caught."
Tan Zhiqiang was suddenly nervous, and even a little scared.
But it's not easy to show cowardice in public.
I can only ask: "Are there any other clues?" ”
"Yes," Xu Taiping continued: "The food of this group of people is good, the dinner is very rich, there is mutton, beef, and even the rice they eat is our locally produced Yajiao rice, and it is new rice." ”
Yingzhou is located in the middle of the Great Jin Dynasty, the climate is warm and humid, the water network is dense, it is very suitable for planting rice, two crops a year, high yield, good quality, among which the Yajiao rice is the most famous, the legend is that the Yingzhou merchants brought back the seeds from the ends of the earth.
Every year at the beginning of June, the first crop of Yajiao rice begins to be harvested.
It's the middle of June, and not many people can eat the new rice, after all, most of the Yajiao rice is still being harvested, and it will take at least a month to wait until the process of drying and hulling is completed.
Tan Zhiqiang's eyes widened in surprise: "This can also be seen?" ”
"Yes."
"How can you tell?"
"The taste of old rice and new rice is different, the old rice is bad, the new rice is firm, after entering the stomach, the old rice will be quickly corroded and melted into powder, while the new rice can be stored intact for a longer time, even if it is corroded, it will maintain a certain shape, it is a ball of paste, sticky."
"I see," Tan Zhiqiang's eyes lit up: "This is a very important clue, there are only a few places in the whole Yingzhou that plant Yajiao rice, and now there are more Yajiao rice that have been harvested and listed, and then check whose new rice has been sold and who it has been sold to, and you can find the murderer along the vine." ”
