The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

In the main hall of the central hall, several elders of the ancestral family were still there, and the rest of the prime and young people were either persuaded to go home to rest, or to help in other parts of the manor; Uncle Hong and others were also taken to the lower wing room to rest and heal; The county and township bureaucrats who had sent people to invite them earlier were also present at this time, and they were discussing the case with Zu Ju, Chun Yupei, and others. The night was destined to be unstable, and the bereaved families wept one after another; Although there are only lights in the ancestral village in the entire Beiguoli, there are still many people who can't sleep peacefully in the dark.

Zu Zhao finished the matter at hand and rushed back to the main hall of the middle hall to report to his grandfather and other elders.

The county magistrate Chen, the county lieutenant Wentai, You Zhu Zufan, and the husband Li Gan all had a grim look, and they were talking with the grandparents. When Zu Zhao first arrived at Zhuangshang, someone reported the news to the middle hall, so Zu Zhao didn't have much to explain at this time, just three words turned into two sentences and briefly introduced how to find these remains.

"The traces of the thief's escape are to the north? Further north, it is Hu Di, could it be that the Hu people are making trouble again? Li Ganren spoke softly, and was arranged to sit down in the hall at this time, he interjected as a matter of course.

"How is it possible, Xu Wu and Lingzhi counties have the land of Lu Longsai garrison, how dare the Hu people make trouble under the noses of my Han garrison, and really deceive me Han No one?" County Lieutenant Wentai said coldly, he is a martial artist, and he has the rough temper of a martial artist.

"In any case, tomorrow at dawn, I will send someone north to pursue it. The matter is serious, and I will report to the county as soon as possible, and ask the county government to go to the sea to collect documents, spread the word to the counties, and strictly arrest the murderers. Chen Xianjun said in an official tone, putting on a serious and matter-of-fact look.

Everyone in the ancestral family knows that Chen Xianjun is the best at empty words, although he speaks sonorously, but it doesn't seem to have much effect on reality. If there is a major homicide in the county, it will often be reported to the county government as soon as possible, and whether there can be a follow-up depends on whether the county government itself thinks this is an important case. Nowadays, the country is not peaceful, the people are suffering in all kinds of ways, theft and murder abound, even if there are really officials who have the heart to handle the case, I am afraid they may not be able to get busy.

In this way, there will be Lord Lao Chen to do it for him. However, this case killed seven people, which is really appalling. My ancestors were deeply furious, and they would not stop easily. Zu Ju said in a low voice, what he meant by this was to say hello to Chen Xianjun in advance, and the Zu family was bound to take private actions outside of the government's actions.

"The cooperation between the government and the people is traceable. As soon as there is new news, my side will immediately branch General Zu. Chen Xianjun understood in his heart, although private affairs are not within the legal principles, but after all, the ancestral family is a local wealthy family, not only the family is big, but even the efficiency of investigating this case will surpass the government, and it will be enough to turn a blind eye.

"There are still a few doubts in this matter, and if you want to arrest these murderers as soon as possible, I am afraid you must start with these suspicions." Zu Fan, who was in charge of the tour, said with determination. He was originally from the ancestral family, and his family background was not bad within the ancestral family, and the reason why he was able to be successfully promoted as brave and square was somewhat because of the reputation of his family. Now that there is an accident in my family, it is indispensable to be more dedicated.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes quickly fell on Zu Fan.

"Well, don't say anything else, let's just say that the two counties of Xu Wu and Lingzhi are so close, and there are officials and soldiers sitting not far away, I haven't heard of any big cases for more than ten years, but today there is such a robbery, this is already a great suspicion." Although Wentai is a rude person, he has been in office for many years and is full of experience, so he immediately said.

"Not only that, if it is really as Uncle Hong said, the thieves acted in an orderly manner, then they should have come prepared and planned an ambush here in advance. This is strange, first, how did the thief know about Uncle Hong's schedule? Second, Uncle Hong and his entourage just followed the usual practice to go to Lingzhima City to take a look, and there was no guarantee that they would buy it. Third, even if Uncle Hong buys a horse, it is only seven or eight stallions, for the sake of this money, will it be too worthless to take such a risk? Zu Fan's tone was meticulous and he said this speculation.

Zu Zhao on the side subconsciously glanced at this nephew who was older than himself, and admired the other party's thoughtfulness, and he was really a qualified tourist.

The elders, Chun Yupei and others also agreed with Zu Fan's speculation and nodded one after another.

According to Zu Fan's speculation, several uncles and uncles exchanged heads and discussed for a while. Everyone vigorously denied that the ancestral family had internal ghosts, after all, it was meaningless to betray Uncle Hong and let the thieves earn a few horses, and the ancestral family up and down, regardless of direct or collateral, rich or poor, can now have a stable livelihood, and there is no big resentment. In this way, the only thing that can be confirmed is that when Lingzhi County was watching the horse, he was targeted by those with bad intentions.

At this time, Zu Zhao, who had not spoken much, said unhurriedly: "Since these murderers are still covering their faces at night, it can be seen that they are afraid that others will recognize them, and this alone should be able to rule out the thieves and bandits." Obviously, it should be some people in the poor countryside, these people are killing people tonight, and they will show their faces tomorrow, so they have to cover their faces, just in case. The

voice of discussion quickly weakened, and everyone immediately cast their eyes on Zu Zhao. Perhaps some people have never taken this detail into account, or they are negligent, intuitively believing that most of the robbers will be masked in case the government draws up documents to catch the thieves. Now hearing Zu Zhao say this, it really makes people feel abrupt.

County Lieutenant Wentai nodded slowly and agreed: "It's not that it's impossible. Earlier, I heard that there were disturbances among the people in many parts of the county, and it was said that there was some kind of peace among the people in Zhuo County, Jizhou and other places, and the believers were all fanatical and obedient to the words of those masters who held the Nine Verses Battle. Hmph, it's just a lie, a ghost. When

it came to Taiping Road, everyone present had varying degrees of color change. The people present are all nobles and families, and they have always been worried about the huge gathering of the people at the bottom. It can be said that the class to which they belong is inevitably opposed to the peasant class, and is like fire and water. In the past dynasties, the peasants rebelled, and the local rich and noble people were at the forefront of the spearhead.

Chun Yupei sighed with emotion and said, "In our counties and townships in Xuanwu County, there are also people preaching the Taiping Dao, and Gongsun County Shou is quite worried about this. It's just that these people are not guilty, they are nothing more than selling some runic water, and the county government has no way to deal with it, so it can only be left to it.

Li Gan, who was sitting down, said worriedly: "The villain also advised the believers in this county, telling them not to make trouble, but those disciples may not be able to listen. Alas, in the long run, I am afraid that there will be a big mess.

Chen Xianjun followed everyone's remarks and said: "Could it be that this robbery will be committed by these Taiping Daoists?" The

crowd was silent, vaguely acquiescing to this.

However, Lieutenant Wen said very arbitrarily: "It may not be and it may not be, it must be investigated first to be conclusive."

Zu Zhao's opinion was the same as Wentai's, and after a short thought, he said: "In addition, when Shi Cai was examining the corpses, he found that three people had died with an arrow. This may not be surprising, but it is worth mentioning that the arrows that kill people are all pitch black, and even the feathers are dyed black. With

that, he gave Zu Cheng a look who was standing near the threshold of the gate, and Zu Cheng immediately stepped forward. The arrow taken from the corpse had been wrapped in a piece of cloth, which he opened and displayed in front of everyone.

Everyone looked carefully, and most of them looked puzzled, but when it was the turn of the county lieutenant Wen, they subconsciously stopped and looked at it.

Zu Fan on the side couldn't help asking, "Master Wen, do you have a clue?"

Wen Tai pondered for a moment, did not hurry to speak, and suddenly turned his gaze to the ancestor on the first seat.

Everyone present couldn't help but look at Wentai's gaze, only to see that Zu Ju seemed to have encountered a thunderbolt on a sunny day, his expression was slightly stiff, and his old eyes were full of surprise. Anyone who sees this knows that Zu Ju obviously knows some clues about the black arrow.

Wen Tai waited for a while, and when he saw that Zu Ju didn't speak, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Old general, when I was in Shanggu County, I heard that there was a black arrow dedicated to bandits in Saiwaihudi, and one arrow killed him within fifty steps. At that time, the Qiang people invaded the territory, and General Du Liao assigned the army Sima Yin Duan to lead 3,000 troops to Shanggu County to suppress it, and the black arrow bandits were in the Qiang people's department, and they shot and killed 19 soldiers of our Han army.

After hearing these words, everyone was amazed, but they didn't expect that there would be such a legendary old story.

Even Zu Zhao himself was deeply surprised, it seems that Wentai met his grandfather in his early years, and the matter of the Black Arrow Bandit is obviously inextricably linked to his grandfather.

At this time, Chen Xianjun hurriedly turned to Zu Ju and asked, "General Zu, is there such a thing?"

Zu Ju sighed, his expression was solemn, and said: "I remember that year should be the first year of Xiping, and when Shanggu Taishou asked for help, General Zhang dispatched Yin Sima to rush to help. Although the Qiang thieves are rampant, are they the opponents of our Han Heavenly Army? After three battles, Yin Sima defeated the Qiang thieves. And after the end of the second battle, General Zhang sent me to Yin Sima's camp to pass the order and commend the reward, and it was on that occasion that I first met with Lieutenant Wenxian.

Wen Tai took over and further explained: "At that time, Yin Sima was united with the local soldiers and civilians of Shanggu County, so he was in the same barracks, so he was fortunate to get acquainted with General Zu. When he said this, he still revealed a little respect for Zuju.

[Yin Duan was originally the Sima of the Eastern Han Dynasty famous general Zhang Huan when he served as the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, and fought against the Xianbei, Karasuma, and Qiang people. In the first year of Yongkang (167 AD), Yin Duan cooperated with Zhang Huan and Dong Zhuo to defeat and fight in Liang Erzhou, breaking the foreign clan, and was later promoted to Huiji Taishou. During his tenure, he raised his chief bookkeeper Zhu Jun as filial piety. In the first year of Xiping (172 AD), the father and son of Xu Shao, the citizens of Huiji County, rebelled, and Yin Duan was impeached by the assassin for the crime of "seeking disadvantage from the thief", and was sentenced to death. 】
