Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 44 Temporary Recruitment
"Luo Wu, when I took office, I intend to train the county soldiers and send food to the counties, but the Ding and the food in Zhangqiu County were robbed in the territory. This matter is shocking. You are here this time, but Do you want to give me an explanation for Zhang Yichen?"

Although Zhang Xutuo spoke lightly, it made Luo Feng feel a lot of pressure.

A county magistrate who wears a full set of armor during normal training and exercises, this is not an ordinary official, this is a general, a general who has stepped down from the battlefield, he will not play any official customs with Zhang Yichen and the others , he still uses the same set in the army more.

The killing is decisive, and the rewards and punishments are clear.

Zhang Yichen, the magistrate of Zhangqiu County, did not deliver the food and young men on time. This was Zhang Yichen's mistake. According to the military law, he would be executed.

"Back to Juncheng, the whereabouts of the gang of robbers are spooky, and now we only know that the leader of the robbers claims to be Zhishilang, and the rest of the situation is still unclear." Luo Feng said truthfully.

"I don't know? You were robbed of three hundred stones of grain and fifty strong men, but you can't tell?"

Luo Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Report to the magistrate, this group of thieves is extraordinary, they act quickly, their whereabouts are secretive, and after investigation, there is no clue, very powerful. I thought that this is not an ordinary robber, This should be a group of powerful robbers, especially a small guess, this group of robbers are not ordinary robbers who run around and commit crimes, they should have another identity."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhang Xutuo was a little surprised. Originally, Luo Wu was only here to plead Zhang Yichen's guilt, but unexpectedly this young man still had such a saying. "Is your guess your own? Or is it your Zhangqiu county's guess?"

"It's a small wild guess."

"Ah."

Zhang Xutuo nodded. In fact, he had the same guess in his heart, because now not only Zhangqiu County had an accident, but half of the nine counties under his county had an accident.They were all the same and found no trace. He personally sent people to investigate, but they still haven't found any results.

So Zhang Xutuo already had the same guess as Luo Feng in his heart. He guessed that the person who committed the crime this time should be a local from Qi County. This person is familiar with the situation here and has strong strength. There is a team of people to do the crime, and there is a place where people can quickly hide their dirty work.

And there are not many people who can meet these conditions.

Although Qi County has nine counties under its jurisdiction, it is only such a big place after all. There are many powerful families in the counties and counties, but they are all counted. In fact, he has already begun to adjust the investigation according to his own thinking Direction, began to find out secretly.

It's just that many officials in the county had never thought of it, but Luo Wu, a young policeman, thought of it. This is really unexpected.

It was as unexpected as the last time he captured the blue-faced ghost.

It can be said to be brave last time, but this time it is really wise.

"Luo Wu, since you're here, don't be in a hurry to go back. I will send someone to send a letter back to Zhangqiu County, saying that I will stay here temporarily to assist in the investigation of the case."

"Ah, the little one is just Zhang Qiu, who is not familiar with the place in the county, so I'm afraid it won't be of much help."

Zhang Xutuo waved his hand and said unquestionably, "You don't have to worry about this, I will draw a few servants under your command, you form a team of your own, you don't need to be under the jurisdiction of others, you just need to be responsible to me. No matter who it is, you can check it out, and I will back you up.”

"If you want money, I'll give it to you, and if you want someone, I'll give it to you. But there is one thing, I only give you a half-month deadline, you can find useful clues for me!"

"Juncheng, half a month is probably too short, I don't have the ability." Luo Feng didn't expect to take such a matter on himself.If he didn't talk to Qin Qiong last night, he would feel nothing, but now he has a burden in his heart.

"No bargaining, this is an order. Luo Wu, since you are wearing this soap suit now, then you are a public servant, and a public servant must obey the orders of his superiors. This official has always given clear rewards and punishments. If you can handle this case , then I don’t hesitate to reward you, but if you can’t find anything by the time limit, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

half a month.

Luo Feng had a headache.

Seeing his helpless look, Zhang Xutuo laughed and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Since you can think that the bandit may be a local, it means that you are still very smart and your thinking is right. Just follow this If you search for ideas, you will find out the results.”

"But this is the county town, so I'll just go to Zhangqiu to catch up, I'm afraid no one will listen to what I say here."

"It's easy. From now on, I will temporarily recruit you as a soldier of Qi County, and I will appoint you as the deputy of my personal guard."

A deputy of the county army is nothing, after all, even if he is a deputy of the Weifu, sometimes he may not even have a rank, and even if he does, he is at most a ninth rank.

But if it was Zhang Xutuo's deputy of the personal guard, it would be unusual.

With this big banner, he is the imperial envoy of the magistrate.

"Luo Wu, isn't Qin Qiong in Licheng your cousin? I know that he is still in the city, so I will second him together. The two of you brothers will investigate the case together, and then I will send you a team of county officials. Soldiers."

Zhang Xutuo could not refuse.

When Luo Feng returned to Qin's house, Zhang Xutuo's deputy of the personal guard went with him.

This is a real deputy of the personal guard, a veteran who has followed Zhang Xutuo countless times through life and death. He only has one arm, but Zhang Xutuo still keeps him by his side.

Qin Qiong was at home with her mother entertaining Luo Si and Xiao Liu, and was talking when she saw Luo Feng come back.

"Second brother, I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for you." Luo Feng smiled helplessly.

The one-armed team officer came up with a smile, but the scarred face smiled as ugly as crying.

"Qin Qiong, the county magistrate has ordered you to be temporarily recruited as a soldier of Qi County, and appointed as the deputy of the county magistrate's personal guards. Together with Luo Wu, you will assist in the investigation of Zhi Shilang's case."

Qin Qiong was also stunned for a while, "This brother, I am now a soldier of Zuo Yiwei's mansion, serving as a soldier under Rong Guogong, and now he is also on leave, and he will go back to report soon."

"Qin Qiong, the county magistrate naturally knows about it. Our county magistrate also knew Rong Guogong, the general. He had fought a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River side by side under Yue Gong's command. He has sent a letter to Rong Guogong to explain the situation. Ask him to borrow you temporarily for a business, I believe Duke Rong will agree."

According to the system of the Great Sui Dynasty, the prefect of the county commanded the soldiers of the prefectures and counties. Naturally, he could not control the soldiers of the Weifu at ordinary times, but in case of an emergency, the prefect of the county also had the right to recruit all the people in the county, including those who had been discharged from the army or those who had not yet been discharged. The county government soldiers.

It is not possible to directly transfer the army of the Weifu to the county, but it is possible to recruit a soldier who is at home on leave.

This is no longer a request, not a discussion, but an urgent call. If Qin Qiong dares to refuse, Zhang Xutuo will be ruthless and directly engage in military law. It will be no problem to chop him with a knife.

Qin Qiong looked at the one-armed man, then at Luo Feng, and nodded helplessly to accept the task.

"Hahaha, Jia likes straightforward men. Let me introduce, a certain surname is Jia and his name is Runpu. He has been fighting with the county magistrate for many years. Now he is the deputy of the county magistrate's personal guard. The two are handling the case, in the future, Deputy Qin and Deputy Luo will have the final say on the investigation, and I am here to help."

Luo Feng thought to himself, it's not bad if you are a military supervisor.

The three of them are all deputy guards, they seem to be the same, but they are the official deputy, and the two brothers are just temporary, how can they be the same.

But directly sending a team deputy to lead a team of county soldiers to assist in the investigation, Zhang Xutuo had high hopes for them.
