Chapter 547: Suspicious Qiupu County Eight
If the county citizens of Qiupu County are the real murderers who pretend to be the thieves of the one-eared Qingshui Dragon Mountain, then the county citizens who are ruthless and do the murder and overstepping the goods, will they be indifferent and ignore it when they know that the officials of Dali Temple have come to investigate the case?
At this time, Mu Yirong and Ruicao, who are in Qiupu County, are equivalent to sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and they are in the tiger's den, and they are very likely to be killed and destroyed, so they must be vigilant and act more carefully.
The Dali Temple of Seocho Road already knew what was happening here, and also knew that the two of them had come to Qiupu County to investigate, and if something happened to the two of them here, it would definitely attract more people to investigate.
Therefore, even if the citizens of Qiupu County are involved in the robbery of people and goods, they will not act rashly!
Mu Yirong said no matter what, he had to be careful, when the two of them were in Chizhou Post Station before, they had been drugged. If the people here want to calculate them, they don't know what kind of means they will come up with?
Seocho was not too afraid of the villagers' methods, she was very concerned about Mu Yixing and Ah Yu and the others who set off behind the two of them.
When the dart team was robbed, Ah Yu had seen the people who robbed the darts with his own eyes, if those people were the villagers of Qiupu County, Ah Yu and the others would be targeted immediately when they arrived in Chizhou City.
In order not to be identified by Ah Yu, the people who target them will definitely kill people. And Mu Yixing's four people, Ah Yu alone knows some kung fu, but he was still injured. At that time, you must not be served a pot!
For the sake of today's plan, it is best to catch the murderer as soon as possible before the arrival of Ah Yu and the four of them, and end the case, so as to ensure the safety of the four of them.
Mu Yirong, who nodded in agreement, looked around the pitch-black surroundings again, his eyes slightly condensed.
The dart team was robbed, several people died, Uncle Huo didn't know his whereabouts, and he couldn't let Ah Yu be hurt in the slightest. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to Uncle Huo, who knows underground, and Mrs. Huo, who is looking forward to her husband and children in Shangjing.
The post station in Qiupu County, six or seven miles outside of Qiupu County, the strong smell of horse manure squeezed out all the air in this area, like an invisible cover, enveloping the entire post station.
There is only a three-room post station, and behind it is a horse farm, where it is said that the horses of the post house and the horses of the villagers are all kept there.
The postman carrying the lantern was a little hunchbacked, and he was embarrassed to say that he lived in one of the three rooms of the post station, and the other room lived in three grooms, so he could only aggrieved Mu Yirong and Ruicao to live in the same room to rest.
Seocho, who sleeps in the trees all summer, has always been accustomed to using the sky as a bed and the earth as a bed, so no matter where it is, it can live for a night. Even if she doesn't sleep and stays up all night, she has no problem.
And it was not that she and Mu Yirong had never lived in the same room before, so they were not shy about it.
Mu Yirong frowned, but what he cared about was not the problem of residence, but why Qiupu County raised so many horses?
The horse farm in Chizhou City next door doesn't seem to have so many horses, and it's really strange why a small county town with a sparse population in Qiupu County would raise so many horses.
I was drunk last night, and I had to get up early this morning to cooperate with the longevity of Dali Temple's investigation, rubbing my swollen temples, and hearing this doubt in Mu Yirong's heart, Qiupu County has been building a horse farm since a long time ago.
At that time, the previous assassin of Chizhou City thought that the horse farm was smelly, and it affected the appearance of the city and polluted the air in the city, so he moved the horse farm of the post station to the suburbs.
However, to build a horse farm in the suburbs, it is necessary not only to build a horse farm from a new house, but also to station officers and soldiers to prevent horse thieves from stealing horses. At the same time, it is necessary to let the grooms living in Chizhou City move outside the city to take care of the horses, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also subject to many restrictions.
This news was later learned by Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, who had a flexible mind and felt that this was a good opportunity to drive Qiupu County to prosperity.
Akiura Prefecture is surrounded by fertile fields, and if you build a horse farm in the prefecture, you won't have to worry about not having horse-drawn carts to pull grain from the fields in the future.
Moreover, Qiupu County is near the mountains, and the forest is full of grassland, so feeding the horses is not a problem at all.
Every year, the imperial court allocates money to the horse farm in the state capital, and even if only half of this money goes to Qiupu County, it is a lot of money.
And after the horses are kept in captivity, these horses can also be rented to other counties or villages, which can also generate income.
The idea of killing two birds with one stone was quickly approved by the people of the prefecture, and they immediately started to build a horse farm at the post station in Qiupu County.
Originally, there was no post station in Qiupu County, just because after the post station in Chizhou City was opened to dart teams and caravans, the accommodation of the post station was always overcrowded, in order to solve this problem, Chizhou City and Qiupu County each contributed half of the money, and built a post station in a vacant land six or seven kilometers away from Qiupu County.
It's just that when the post station in Qiupu County was built, some houses were built too much, and at the end of the year, the post station could not receive several waves of post envoys.
As a result, Qiupu County demolished all the original tiled houses, leaving only three, and the rest were enclosed into horse farms, horse sheds, and horses.
When Mu Yirong heard this, he praised Qiupu County for making Duan Linrui have the mind to make a fortune, and the county residents of Qiupu County, everyone worked together to develop the economy of Qiupu County, if someone thought that the horse farm was smelly and noisy, it was estimated that it would be difficult to build a horse farm.
With a proud look on his face, he immediately nodded, saying that he was not bragging, there was absolutely no one in the villages and counties in Chizhou City who were as united as their Qiupu County.
After saying this, Changshou seemed to think of something, and hurriedly opened the topic and asked Mu Yirong and the others, where are they going to see today?
Looking at Mu Yirong outside the post station, they found that there seemed to be no one living in the east of the village, and several families near the post station on the east side of the village.
When Changshou heard this, he said disapprovingly that in the decades since the construction of Qiupu County, it is inevitable that some villagers have gone to other counties to make a living, and the houses have been empty.
"It was a coincidence that the people who left were all on the east side of the village. ”
Hearing Mu Yirong's words, Changshou smiled, how could it be so coincidental.
It's just that the people who left Qiupu County at the beginning said that they would not come back in the future, so they asked Qiupu County to deal with their houses.
Although the post station racecourse is some distance away from Qiupu County, when the east wind blows, the smell will still waft to the county seat.
So Qiupu County ordered the decision to move some of the families living in the east of the county to the vacant houses of the people who moved out of the county. And just like that, all the houses on the east side were empty.
"Is the house just empty?"
"Where it may be empty all the time. Our county yamen is small, and there is no place to put many sundries, so they are placed in those empty houses. ”
"Then let's go to those vacant rooms first. ”
"What's so nice about an empty house?"
After asking this sentence, Changshou didn't wait for Mu Yirong to answer, so he muttered to himself: "The way Dali Temple investigates the case is really strange! But if adults want to see it, just take a look, anyway, there is nothing to see." ”
I like the longevity of a person muttering, tighten the collar, lead the way in front, and go to the houses in the east of Akiura County.
