Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 45
Luo Feng and Qin Qiong followed Jia Runpu back to the barracks to answer their orders.

When Zhang Xutuo saw Qin Qiong, he invited him over enthusiastically, "I know that you are the person who came to the general's fancy, but I am also in urgent need of employment, so I will borrow you to investigate this case temporarily. When the case is settled, when the time comes I personally ask the great general for your credit."

Based on his understanding and love for Qin Qiong, he appreciates Qin Qiong's talent, brave and resourceful, young and promising.If Qin Qiong is really willing to stay under his command, he is even willing to break the rules and give a county soldier brigade commander the post.It's just that he also knows that the brigade commander of the county soldiers may not be very attractive to Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong has no official position now, but it doesn't mean he won't have one in the future. With his status as the guardian of his son and his ability, it will be a matter of time before he succeeds.

"The case of Zhi Shilang has extremely bad influence. Now people are panicking. If this thief cannot be taken down as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be even worse. Qin Qiong, Luo Wu, I have given you two and a half months. Be sure to investigate this matter." case."

"Report to the county magistrate, half a month is probably too short, even if Zhishilang and his gang of thieves were really done by people from this county, but the nine counties in this county are so big, I'm afraid they won't be able to find out for a while. Or if a person from a neighboring county crossed the border to commit a crime, or a person from this county crossed the border after committing a crime, it would be even more difficult to trace."

Zhang Xutuo said with a solemn face, "Forget it, I will give you five more days to investigate the case within [-] days."

After talking again, Luo Feng and Qin Qiong bid farewell to Zhang Xutuo.

On the school field, Jia Runpu had ordered a team of fifty county soldiers to wait there.

"Brother Qin and Brother Luo, this is a team of soldiers from the county that was pulled out by the county magistrate. Since then, they have been assisting us in investigating the case. Just give orders if you have anything to do."

Luo Feng looked over and saw that the fifty county soldiers were all quite young, standing straight, wearing blue robes of the same color, each holding a spear, and each of them was equipped with a horizontal knife. Even if he looked closely, he could see a group of ten One man is equipped with a large shield, and a party of ten is equipped with a crossbow.

It can be seen that this is by no means the standard equipment of ordinary county soldiers, this is a team of elites that Zhang Xutuo specially selected for him.

"Did you pull out the horse?" Luo Feng asked.

"There are no horses, but fifty big mules have been pulled out, so there is no need to worry about chasing the thief."

The county soldiers in Qi County did not have cavalry, only Zhang Xutuo's personal guards were equipped with some war horses, and the team that was drawn to Luo Feng was equipped with mules for transportation.

"Tell me, where do we start?" Jia Runpu asked.

"Deputy Jia, we have to think about this matter first. Deputy Luo and I think about it first, and come back when we're done thinking about it," Qin Qiong said.

Seeing this, Jia Runpu said, "That's fine." He turned his head and said to a strong man among the soldiers, "Marshal Zhao, take someone back to train first, and be on standby at any time. The two lieutenants Qin Luo and I have to discuss first. Make a plan of action."

"Let's go."

Qin Qiong wanted to get rid of the one-armed strong man first, but unexpectedly he was attached to him, and it was hard to refuse, so he had to take him back to the Qin residence first.

When they got home, they found someone, and Luo Feng and Qin Qiong discussed privately.

"What should we do now?"

"Second brother, I didn't expect that I would drag you into the water. I'm really sorry."

"Why do the family talk about these two families? In fact, it is good for me to come. I don't believe that Brother Wang did the crime. If I can find out the truth, it will be regarded as helping him." Qin Qiong said, "Xiao Wu, I plan to go to Zouping first to see Brother Wang in person."

"It's good to see you first, but you can't take the county soldiers with you." Luo Feng suggested.

"But this Captain Jia is not easy to dismiss."

"If it doesn't work, just take him with you, no one can hinder anything."

So it was agreed immediately, first go to Zouping to see Wang Bo.Whether it's him or not, you have to meet and talk with him before you know.

After dinner, Qin Qiong told her mother about the secondment of Juncheng. Qin's mother was a little worried, but finally nodded, "Nowadays, the world is getting more and more uneven, and I don't know what's going on. This Zhishilang Robbing food and robbing people is not a good person, you happen to be at home, and you should do something to help the family, and you should be hunting for thieves and catching bandits, just be careful and don't be reckless."

"Auntie, don't worry, we are not alone in investigating the case, and Jun Cheng even recruited a team. In addition, the second brother told me just now that he plans to go to Zouping to find a senior to help."

Luo Feng took the opportunity to tell Jia Runpu that he was going to Zouping.

"What are you doing in Zouping? Are there any suspects?"

"No, there is a senior in Zouping. He used to be the law officer of Qi County. He has a lot of contacts and experience. He has also given me advice. Our two brothers plan to go to Qi County to find this senior and seek advice from him. He has served as a law officer in Qi County, and he knows a lot of people, and he is very familiar with the nine counties of Qi County, maybe he can have some targets."

"Then I'll go with you." Jia Runpu said very bluntly.

"If Captain Jia waits here first, it will take us only a few days to go back and forth."

"Let's go together, I also want to visit that senior Facao."

"OK then."

After packing up the luggage, the brothers are ready to go.

Luo Si, Zhao Gui, Zhou Xin and Xiao Liu are enjoying their stay in the Qin Mansion. They eat and drink delicious food every day. How could they ever live such a life?

Originally, Luo Feng didn't want to take them with him, but he was afraid that they would cause trouble in the Qin Manor. After thinking about it, it would be good to bring them with their knowledge, after all, they have become his helpers now.

So, regardless of whether they liked it or not, Luo Feng asked them all to go together.

When Luo Feng came, all seven of them went together, plus Qin Qiong and Jia Runpu, a group of nine rode horses and headed for Zouping County.

It is eighty miles from Licheng to Zouping, luckily riding a horse is not too slow.

It's just that Luo Feng and the others are not good at riding, so Qin Qiong and Jia Runpu can only slow down, and help correct and teach Qin Qiong and the others how to ride along the way. Just rushed to Zouping.

Zouping borders the Yellow River in the north and Jishui in the south.

Behind is Changbai Mountain.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was the land of the Marquis of Zou. Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Jinggong built Zou Zhichangtu. The east of Zouguan was flat land, so it was named Zouping.

Immediately, Qin Qiong introduced Zouping County to Luo Feng.

"In the Qin Dynasty, it belonged to Linzi County. In the Western Han Dynasty, Zouping County was established. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was merged into Linji County. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the division of counties and counties here was chaotic. Up to the current Zouping County, Chaoyang County was placed in Jiancheng in the sixth year of Kaihuang, and it was changed to Linji County."

"It was not until the 18th year of Kaihuang that Pingyuan County was changed to Zouping County, and the old name of the Han Dynasty was restored."

Luo Feng really didn't know much about these things, but he also knew the origin of the chaos. After the end of the Jin Dynasty, the North and the South scuffled and the world was in turmoil.

The two sides repeatedly competed and occupied, so the prefectures and counties were set up in chaos. Later, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, the Sui Dynasty, and the world returned to unity. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty withdrew the counties and merged the prefectures.

For example, in Qi County, there used to be more than a dozen counties, and even several prefectures and counties were established. Now all of them have been merged into Qi County, and only nine counties have been withdrawn and merged. It can be said that It is still a relatively correct policy.

Geographically, Zouping is located in the overlapping area of ​​the Taiyi mountainous area in central Shandong and the Yellow Plain in northern Shandong, with many hills and little flat land, making it a relatively remote and backward place.

Wang Bo's family is located in Qingyang Village at the northern foot of Changbai. Qingyang Village faces Jishui to the north and Changbai Mountain to the south.

But Luo Feng looked at the terrain, but felt more and more that Wang Bo was Tomoshiro.
