Chapter 1074 Rushing into the State City
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Chong returned to Jiankang from Qu'a, and urgently informed Shen Ke, Ren Qiu, and the few clansmen and cronies who were still in Jiankang to come to the capital to meet in Bieye.

"Since the beginning of the first ten days of winter, nine similar incidents have occurred. The victims are all from Wuzhong Township, and they all planned to return to their hometowns to take advantage of the New Year. The victims were mainly concentrated in Jurong, Yixing, the Great Wall and other places. In the meantime, all those who were looted were spared, and all their property was lost. So far, nearly a thousand people have been killed, and more than 2000 million property have been lost..."

After gathering in Dunan Villa, Shen Ke directly reported the information that had been sorted out recently.

Hearing this, Shen Chong's face became extremely ugly, and he kicked the small table in front of him, and the table rolled down the hall and was damaged on the ground, showing his current bad mood: "Nearly a month's work Time, such a serious evil has happened, why come to repay now?"

Ren Qiu was in charge of intelligence collection around Gyeonggi, and knowing that he had neglected his duty, he hurriedly got up and explained: "Because most of the incidents occurred in the wilderness, there were few people around, and it was not until the fourth incident that the local villagers noticed it. But at that time It is only an isolated case, and only the county governments in various places are notified. Moreover, most of the victims were not business travelers, so it is difficult to check their identities in detail. There have been frequent crimes, and the similarities have been highlighted. It is known that someone deliberately pursued Hunting Wu Xing Township..."

Although the intelligence network in the capital has been built for a long time, it is mainly concentrated in densely populated places in Kinki. For example, most of the places where the crimes occurred are wilderness, and even people are rare, so it is naturally impossible to completely cover them.

Moreover, the crimes were not concentrated in one place at a time, and most of the victims were the most ordinary traveling businessmen. Right now, the manpower in the capital is mainly focusing on some important targets, and naturally pays little attention to these ordinary villagers.

By the time they were determined to be targeted, six or seven crimes had already occurred, and two more remote crime locations were discovered one after another.So when they became alert and warned the people of Wu Xing Township not to leave the capital casually in the near future, nine crimes had already occurred.This is only what has been discovered. As for the more remote places, investigations are still being carried out quickly.

Although there are many reasons, Ren Qiu also knew that so many people's lives were lost by mere dereliction of duty, so he simply bowed down: "The subordinates know that they have committed a serious crime, and they dare not ask for forgiveness. But the only way for now is to order the township as soon as possible. People are not allowed to go out of the capital at will. Although there was a little notice before, but only a few people got the news, and there are more villagers, it is really difficult to notify them all, and it is really difficult to completely restrain them."

"It's right not to make an advertisement. If this matter spreads to all the villagers, the public will become more worried. I'm afraid the trend of leaving the capital will become more turbulent and unstoppable. Even if you want to be on guard, there will be no recourse."

Qian Feng said in a deep voice at the banquet, there are too many Wuzhong villagers, especially Wuxing people, in Jiankang, some good villagers are still in trouble, they can control themselves, the most feared are those ordinary villagers who don't know the danger If people learn that Wuxing people are being hunted frantically, the panic caused will be unimaginable, and it is very likely that there will be an uncontrollable wave of returning home.

After all, when a crisis comes, too many people have no reason to judge where the safest place is, and the most inclined choice is to return to their hometown and shrink back.

Therefore, it is a bad policy to inform the truth and warn the villagers to be vigilant. To solve the problem, the most important thing is to find out who is targeting Wu Xing people and beat the murderer.

After pondering for a while, Shen Chong agreed with Qian Feng's opinion: "There are frequent evils happening in Kinki, which will inevitably make the people in the capital throb. This should not be the yin of Taichung. What about Liyang? What about Langya? Are there any differences between these two places?" Change?"

Hearing this question, Ren Qiu's face turned ugly. It is enough for him to deploy manpower in all parts of the capital, including Kinki, but if he wants to completely monitor the movement of these two places, he is still powerless.As long as there is no large-scale change, such as sneaking out of parts and then integrating them in a hidden place, there is a considerable chance of avoiding eyes and ears.

Moreover, through the search of those crime locations, it can be found that almost all massacres were one-sided, and the traces left after the incident were also very subtle. It can be seen that the elite team of hundreds of perpetrators at most cannot be dispatched on a large scale.

Even if we don't talk about Liyang, although Langya County alone is only an overseas residence, it is also a land that covers two counties.You must know that tens of thousands of people are needed to besiege even a city, and it is impossible to completely monitor all the entrances and exits in the area of ​​​​the two counties.What's more, Langya's local expatriates are entrenched, and the xenophobia is extremely serious, and many local details are difficult to collect.

Without waiting for Ren Qiu to answer, Shen Chong also realized the difficulty, and said bitterly: "Ren Jun, you have to remember, if something really happens one day, I will definitely eradicate this nest in Langyaqiao County!"

Although there is no specific evidence to point to, but from the analysis of reason, it is also known who the biggest suspect is. Shen Cheng even said angrily: "Langya County has spread its eyes and ears, and once it is discovered that Wang's immediate family members are coming and going, they will be arrested immediately, regardless of life or death! There are Jindu in the west and south, and if there are strange cargoes pointing to Liyang, immediately arrange manpower to attack and kill them! Tell the villagers that if you leave, you must gather in a large group, and my family will also send people to guard along the way. The villagers are on the way to be killed again. I will also notify the villagers along the way to subsidize them along the way, and I will let them pay for their lives if any evil happens in any hometown!"

"Protecting the people in the village is a top priority, but if you divide the crowd too much, I'm afraid this will fall into the opponent's net!"

Qian Feng heard Shen Chong's many arrangements, and reminded him from the side.

"Of course I understand this matter. Not only my family needs to send a group of guards, but Taichung can't stay out of it! Such a bad thing broke out in Kinki, how can those idiots pretend nothing happened? If so, in the future It is not expected that their respective homes will be infiltrated by strong men and their heads will be cut off!"

This incident has indeed touched Shen Chong's bottom line. Although the various parties in the secret war are naturally using their means to their fullest, if they directly target unarmed ordinary innocent villagers, it would be a heinous atrocity: "Call me the troops Now, get ready to drive, I will go to Zhoucheng first."

The city of Yangzhou is located in the north of Jiankang West City. The nominal governor Liu Chao is still in the capital and has not entered the capital. Therefore, the person in charge of the affairs of the city is Biejia Meitao, who was originally the chief when Director Wang was Situ. history.

Mei Tao is a man of low voice, but he is diligent, so since he took office, he has spent most of his time in the city of Yangzhou, dealing with the affairs handed over between the various counties in Yangzhou.But blind diligence without rules is not necessarily a good thing. When he served as Wang Dao's subordinate in previous years, Mei Tao was still competent because of Wang Dao's guidance.

But now the intricate internal structure of the stage makes him not even have a directly subordinate chief officer, so Mei Tao has been feeling rather cramped as he gets busier and more chaotic recently, but he barely maintains it.

There have been frequent robberies in Kinki, and Mei Tao knew about this, but he didn't sensitively connect it with any conspiracy. In addition to telling the counties and counties to guard against thieves, he also asked Chen Ce in Taicheng to allocate some Suwei made a security search in the county.

Having done his part well, Mei Tao didn't keep paying attention to it any longer, and his energy was soon taken up by other offices.

So when there was a rumor that it was Sikong and Shen Chong who came to the state capital, Mei Tao still had some doubts about why Shen Chong came to the door.But since everyone has already arrived in Zhoucheng, it is not easy to see him, so Mei Tao ordered his subordinates to receive him for a while, and then went to receive him in person after he finished the business at hand.

But before the words fell, there was a noise outside the door. Mei Tao frowned and looked, and saw Shen Chong entering the room boldly in armor, followed by dozens of burly guards, and behind him was a group of state capitals in a state of panic. It belongs to the officers and guards.

"Si, Sikong is going to..."

Seeing this scene, cold sweat loomed on Mei Tao's forehead. He also knew that the struggle between all parties had reached a critical moment. Shen Chong's sudden attitude came to Zhoucheng, making it difficult for him to think about it or not.

"Excuse me, don't drive, but I have urgent information to prepare, so I have to follow the expedient for the time being."

After entering the room, Shen Chong didn't look directly at Mei Tao, and sat directly in a seat on the innermost side that was sheltered on the left and right, and then looked at the anxious Mei Tao, and said coldly: "I heard some rumors, It is said that a group of murderers are about to sneak into the capital, with the intention of assassinating the princes and assistants in Taiwan, and the incident is imminent, so I dare not neglect it, so I came to tell you."

You are not the leader of the group of murderers, are you?

Mei Tao saw the guards with stern expressions beside Shen Chong, and felt a little slander in his heart. At the same time, his heartstrings suddenly tightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "This, how is this possible? I don't know where Sikong got the news, is it true?"

"How is it impossible? There are rogues wandering around in Kinki, causing frequent killings. Thousands of villagers have been killed. Perhaps it is this group of thugs who are terrified and will assassinate Taifu. As for whether it is true, it is not you Why should you ask me about the responsibilities that the state government should bear?"

Hearing Shen Chong's confession, Mei Tao opened his mouth, feeling speechless.But he was not stupid, and soon realized from Shen Chong's words that his report was false, because some recent murders in Jiwai were true.

Thinking of this, Mei Tao's forehead burst into cold sweat again. He had already forgotten about this matter, but he never thought that it would lead to this great god who was recognized as the most troublesome in the city.

"Sikong, please wait for a moment, I will order people to search..."

"It's right here. Also, the current murder case is second. As I said, the danger of Taichung's assassination is the most important thing. Don't think that if something really bad happens, your state government can handle it? Why don't you report it to Taichung as soon as possible?" ?”

Before Shen Chong finished speaking, his followers moved faintly near the doors and windows to isolate the inside and outside.

Seeing this scene, Mei Tao realized that he was being held hostage. At the same time, he was terrified, so he had to follow Shen Chong's instructions and quickly write at the desk, transcribing Shen Chong's words in a book, and then ordered someone to quickly send him to Taicheng.

Shen Chong was present safely, waiting for Taicheng's response.

Although he was already furious, he did not lose his mind. He is not sure whether Taifu was involved in this matter. If there was really Taifu involved in targeting Wu Xingxiang people, it would be difficult for him to leave calmly if he entered Taiwan rashly. .

And Zhoucheng is close to Xishi, which is the most densely populated place in the capital. Once Taifu brazenly ordered the siege of Zhoucheng, he would already have his followers scattered in Xishi. leave.

　There will be another update later. . .Around midnight. . .
