Chapter 172: Changde is busy inviting merit

The prefect of Changde Prefecture and the commander of Changde Wei arrived at the same time, as if they had said it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As early as when Chen Feng and his party lived in the post station, these local officials had already learned about it. It's just that Chen Feng is bringing Jinyiwei and Mingtang, not to mention that these two institutions jointly handle the case, even if only one agency usually comes out, local officials don't dare to interfere at will, unless Jinyiwei or Mingtang takes the initiative to seek support.

So the local officials are more likely to send people to offer their condolences, but now the situation is different. Jinyi Wei died in 300 households, and the officers and soldiers who searched around Dongting Lake also lost a lot, so the prefect and the Wei commanders came, which shows the seriousness of the situation.

Although the inn is simple, there is also a small meeting hall, which is just right for discussions.

Chen Feng and Zhao Lin sat in the hall, Dugu Huang also came, he came with him, he sat next to Chen Feng in a good way, and people who didn't know thought he was also a big official.

Although Chen Feng was not officially sealed, he was the leader of this operation, and this special status was enough to be courteous and respected by officials everywhere.

The post respectfully led the guests in, and it was not only the prefect and the commander who came, but there were four of them. But the identities of the four can also be seen from the service, two wearing armor and two in official uniforms.

The two officials in the middle are the largest, and both of them salute and speak separately:

"The prefect of Changde Mansion, Man Jianglu, has seen Lord Qincha!"

"Chang Dewei commanded Gu Defei to meet Lord Qincha!"

Chen Feng sat in the middle, and naturally he was the object of their visit. He has no status in the court, and it is indeed the most appropriate to use the title of Qincha.

After the introduction of the two supreme commanders of Changde Mansion, the attendants on the left and right also began to salute:

"Changde Mansion Tongzhi Shi Fenqiang has seen Lord Qincha!"

"Chang Dewei Zhenfu envoy Feng Ze has seen Lord Qincha!"

Chen Feng waved his hand in a good manner, and said: "No courtesy, please sit down." ”

The four of them took their seats separately, and the prefect Man Jianglu took the lead in getting up and said: "Lord Qincha, since receiving the news of the death of the three hundred households of Jinyiwei, this official has mobilized a total of more than 3,000 people from various prefectures and counties in Changde Prefecture to continuously search for suspicious characters on the west and north shores of Dongting Lake, and so far nearly 100 suspicious elements have been arrested. Although there were many casualties among the officers, they were fortunate not to be dishonored!"

As soon as he came up, he was invited to take credit, Chen Feng wondered in his heart, why these people were so efficient, and they had already arrested a hundred people.

Just as he was about to ask, the commander Gu Defei slapped the table and stood up: "Hmph, the adults are all small thieves, and they have nothing to do with the murder of Jinyi Wei Baihu." This command transferred 3,000 troops from the guard, and let Feng Ze, the first fierce general of Changde, lead him to meet the Iron Palm Gang. Although the army suffered 100 casualties, it also inquired about who the prisoners were. ”

Man Jianglu glanced at Gu Defei and sneered: "Gu Commander said that his soldiers and horses had fought with the Iron Palm Gang, could it be that the prisoner you said was the Iron Palm Gang?"

"Exactly!" said Goodfeiyi confidently.

"What evidence is there for the ancient commander?" Man Jianglu asked in the court.

Gu Defei said arrogantly: "It was the disciple of the Iron Palm Gang who said it himself!"

"Where is that disciple?"

"Nature has already rectified the Fa on the spot!"

"Nonsense, there is no proof of death, Gu instructed never to talk nonsense in front of Lord Qincha!"

......

The two highest-ranking military and political officials in Changde Mansion quarreled, and it seemed that no one wanted to see anyone.

How can you help these people to do something?

Chen Feng shook his head secretly, slapped the table and shouted, "Shut up!"

Man Jianglu and Gu Defei stopped talking, and both of them sat down with a cold snort.

Chen Feng could finally ask: "Manchu Governor, since you have arrested so many people, have you found out any eyebrows?"

Man Jianglu responded: "My lord, this official has not found out who the murderer is yet, but Changde Mansion has been carrying out search and arrest work day and night, and the murderer will definitely be found!"

Chen Feng has been in the post station, and he doesn't know how the officials and the army are doing it at all, in case they use the pretext of arresting the murderer as an excuse to arrest people randomly, and disobey Chen Feng's orders, and finally ruin Chen Feng's reputation.

Therefore, it is necessary to knock it out: "Lord Man, it is important to arrest the murderer, but it must also be carefully investigated, and people must not be arrested casually." ”

Man Jianglu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Lord Qincha is right." ”

Chen Feng asked again: "Also, you just said that you were investigating on the west and north shores of Dongting Lake, so wouldn't the other two sides give the murderer a chance?"

Man Jianglu said with a smile: "Lord Qincha, please rest assured, the east bank of Dongting Lake will be investigated and searched by Yuezhou Mansion and Yuezhou Wei, and the south bank will be investigated and arrested by Changsha Mansion and Changsha Wei. Because the location of the incident is within the scope of our Changde Prefecture, this time it will be led by this official, and the other two prefectures will be responsible for sending people to assist. ”

Gu Defei couldn't help but interject: "Those useless errands are all in charge of the Manchu people, and Yuezhou Wei and Changsha Wei each send a thousand people under my command and coordination, and our army is the main force!"

"Gu Commander, where are you going to put us with such words?" said Man Jianglu with a little anger.

Gu Defei said lightly: "It's good for the official to catch the thief, and it's better to deal with the Jianghu forces like the Iron Palm Gang and leave it to our army." What's more, Jinyi and Wei are all within the military system, and we should be responsible. ”

Chen Feng knocked on the table and said, "Okay, okay, why didn't you say a word and quarrel again!"

The small hall was quiet again, and Chen Feng's blood was boiling at this time. The army had 5,000 men, and the number was estimated to be as high. With the number of 10,000 people assisting him, Chen Feng had a sense of pleasure in scolding Fang Xuan.

But soon Chen Feng came to his senses, what was the use of having more people to command? These guys wrestled with each other, and they didn't know how much trouble it took to command them.

Chen Feng prefers the kind of comfortable and comfortable life alone, quickly solves the affairs of Jiangnan, and goes back to the inn to accompany his wife!

"Gu Commander, why do you think that the murderer is the Iron Palm Gang, you can't make a presumptuous assertion just because of the words of a dead man!" Chen Feng asked again.

Gu Defei said solemnly: "Jinyi Wei is different from our local guards, everyone has martial arts, and Jinyi Wei Baihu is a good player. If you can kill three hundred households at the same time, you must be a person in the rivers and lakes. Although our guard office is less concerned with local affairs, it pays special attention to the forces in the rivers and lakes. Looking at the vicinity of Dongting Lake, the only one who can kill three hundred households and have the courage to go against the imperial court is the Iron Palm Gang!"

Chen Feng smiled bitterly, Gu Defei's judgment could not be wrong, and Leng Li and the others had already determined that the murderer was the leader of the Iron Palm Gang. But no one could answer the doubts in Chen Feng's heart, and it was not so easy to deal with the Iron Palm Gang and the Wang family.

"Gu Commander, don't conflict with the Iron Palm Gang for the time being. Chen Feng reminded.

Gu Defei looked dissatisfied and said, "Lord Qincha, don't you believe what I say?"

Chen Feng said with a straight face: "Even if the murderer is the Iron Palm Gang, can you lead the Changde guards and horses to attack the Iron Palm Peak?"

Gu Defei was silent, it was easier said than done to attack the mountain, but it could not be done by relying on a large number of people. What's more, the terrain of Tiezhang Peak is dangerous, surrounded by mountains, even if you want to surround the mountain, I am afraid that the thousands of soldiers and horses united by the three guards will not be enough.

Chen Feng can't let them hate themselves, although they are Qincha, and Gu Defei and Man Jianglu are respectful on the surface, but they don't necessarily look down on Chen Feng in their hearts. The Chin Cha is only temporary, and maybe the matter will be withdrawn after the past. And the local officials sit firmly in one place, and they are not even afraid of some Beijing officials. Let them hold a grudge, and do some tricks behind their backs, saying that you have done some bad things in the local area and reported it to the court, which will only cause yourself to be angry.

So Chen Feng was relieved again: "The efforts made by the ancient commander and the Manchu prefect are still worthy of recognition, and I will definitely report to the emperor and let the emperor remember your merits!"

"Lord Qincha is polite!" Gu Defei and Man Jianglu both smiled.

Chen Feng finally instructed: "Okay, keep up this momentum, but remember not to have a large-scale conflict with the Iron Palm Gang. Just strengthen the security around Dongting Lake, and report to me if there is any trouble!"

"Yes!" the two officers got up to take their leave, but they both left their deputies behind.

"Feng Ze knows some martial arts, and he can carry the tripod, so stay by Lord Qincha's side to protect you. ”

"This official has left Governor Shi behind, and if Lord Qincha has any requests, he will definitely do it!" ......
