Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 365
Guo Kang felt that this was indeed the truth.

"Then go back and plan carefully. But this time, I'll make a decision." He thought for a while and changed his plan: "This time, I originally planned to wait another two days to see if the church can check More out, not necessarily as soon as possible, but those Ross guys are in a hurry."

"If those cases are true, these criminals will not be able to escape no matter what. So I suspect that they are not so much trying to get rid of the murderer as soon as possible and save the civilians from suffering for a few days, but they actually hope that I can actually Do something to show sincerity."

"But this request is not unreasonable to be honest." Guo Kang hesitated: "You also know that the local officials don't take these people seriously on weekdays. They lack trust in the government, and they really need practical advice. Only by taking action can we give an explanation to the believers who support them."

"Before doing things, you must first win the trust of others. Jin Wengong would rather give up attacking the original place, and Shang Yang had to issue heavy rewards before the reform, all in order to gain trust. Although these residents live in the city, in essence, they have been living in the city for a long time. It is not under the jurisdiction of the government. If you want to establish a new order among them, you must first gain trust. I think, compared to the price of scaring the enemy, this kind of eagerness and words are more important. .”

"Besides, I now feel that it might not be a problem to scare the snake away." He thought for a while, and added: "This list has all gone to Pronsky, and I guess these people were originally abandoned by the gang. Son. When they gave these clues, they were already prepared. I guess these prisoners will not run away at all, and the mastermind has already dealt with the traces of participating in the crime, and will notify everyone when there is no problem. .”

"This means that everyone cooperates in a play, and they will follow the script. I just need to try my best during the performance and take the opportunity to obtain the most beneficial results for us. It should be fine."

"That also makes sense..." The adoptive father pondered for a moment: "Then what are you going to do?"

"This case is unusual." Guo Kang told him: "The person who committed the crime had joined the army before, and I looked at the charges. Many of them are 'continuous', such as enslaving civilians and long-term plundering of property. That is to say, even if these people join the recruit team and obtain the military status of the reserve army, they are still in a state of crime.”

"In this case, can we punish them through military law?" he asked.

"If it's really a felony, that's fine." After the foster father replied, he reminded: "However, you'd better investigate it yourself. There may be errors and omissions in the news they gave you, and it may even be intentional. If you use it directly, it will lead to unfair punishment, and you will come to trouble you, and you can’t say that the rough information of others is deliberately inducing people.”

Guo Kang nodded, indicating that there is no problem.

"Can the Ministry of War help?" He asked, "Is there a military judge on duty here? Just assign two people to me and follow everyone around. If the situation is good, the criminals will be arrested and interrogated; the public anger is particularly great. , if I can’t take my time, I will hold a public trial there and punish in public. So it’s better to have someone help on the spot.”

"That's not a problem." The adoptive father agreed: "Since it is a newly formed army, and it was made clear from the beginning that it was temporarily organized for an expedition, it is indeed of great importance. This belongs to the category of strategic preparations. You can take care of it. You can also take my command flag with you."

Guo Kang quickly thanked him, but his adoptive father said that you are welcome.He called a clerk and asked him to prepare documents and records, and asked his personal soldiers to bring the command flag.

"Take it, and you will be considered a special envoy of the Warmaster." The adoptive father handed him the small flag in public: "Work hard, don't embarrass Rome."

Guo Kang took it with both hands and completed this very brief ceremony.

"Can I help too?" Guo Ponu asked eagerly.

"This is a serious official business, so you don't want to cause trouble." The foster father refused, "If you want to help your brother, just go home and be honest, and just don't cause trouble for him."

Guo Ponu curled his lips unwillingly, but he didn't lose his temper here, just kept silent.

The adoptive father is quite satisfied with this.After all, for Guo Ponu, this is already a very sensible move... He asked someone to make a record, signed it, and then sent Guo Kang out, told him to be more careful, and let him and Guo Ponu left together.

However, when the two of them walked out of the gate, Guo Ponu began to be dishonest again.

"Hey, hey." She poked Guo Kang: "My good brother, take my sister and me this time, okay?"

"Didn't dad say it's okay?" Guo Kang replied quickly.

"I'm in your entourage, can't I?" Guo Ponu suggested: "It's a bit risky for you to run there alone. I have more experience in the world than you, and I can fish you out if something happens. Isn't that better?"

"If it's really that dangerous, you shouldn't have gone." Guo Kang told her: "When Lord Xinling was preparing to attack the Qin army and selected soldiers, he asked brothers who were in the army to go home. In this way, the remaining Only those who are subordinate can have no worries and dare to fight with all their strength."

"If the two of us are in danger together, it will be troublesome. This is my mission, and I chose it by myself, so there is no need for you to go with me. Do you think so?"

Guo Ponu couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, so he was silent for a while.

"If you really want to catch a few thieves, I'll give you clues later, and you can lead people to fight for righteousness." Guo Kang took the opportunity to offer a concession: "This time it's really not as exciting as you think, it's just a routine to catch a few scapegoats. I guess they are gang members, and I wish we could catch them and finish the matter. It would be good if they were not tied up and delivered to us, what risk would there be..."

"I'm not looking for excitement." Guo Ponu said with a sad face, "I really want to help you. I don't know why, but I always have a premonition that something unexpected will happen this time..."

"You beat up that fortune-teller a lot, and you've learned it yourself, right?" Guo Kang said with a smile, "Then don't teach him a lesson when you go back next time. You go to the University of Constantine and teach all the professors and doctors there. Hit it again and see if you can improve your intelligence."

"I'm serious..." Guo Ponu was a little unconvinced, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh: "Hey, why don't everyone let me do business? Just because I'm a woman? If I It’s my brother, you’re my sister, that’s fine.”

"Then if you are going to perform official duties, and your sister insists on going on an adventure with you, are you willing?" Guo Kang asked directly.

Guo Ponu was taken aback for a moment, and after struggling for a long time, he found that this was really the case.

Now, she couldn't find a reason.
