Chapter 70: exposed
County Office.
The county governor Pang Jiuling sighed deeply after reading the secret letter in his hand.
The Censor Chen Zhongyi, who was sitting across from him, frowned and said, "Lord Zhou Mu still doesn't want to give us reinforcements?"
"See for yourself."
Chen Zhongyi took the secret letter and looked at it, and soon his expression turned bad.
In the secret letter, Mrs. Shepherd from Xiangzhou Prefecture said in the letter that they wanted Jiangning County to continue to suppress the rebels on their own, and even in the letter they were very dissatisfied with their performance in Jiangning County, and only then did the rebels in seven counties break out, and they actually suppressed the rebels. The rebels have not been suppressed for so long.
After all, in the eyes of the people above, Jiangning County has a total of 28 counties, and only seven counties have rebels. Compared with the fall of Nanyang County next door, it is not on the same level at all.
In the end, Mrs. Xin Mo Zhou said that they would only give 1,000 reinforcements, which will come soon.
"Only 1,000 reinforcements are a drop in the bucket."
"It seems that we want more reinforcements to stop thinking about for the time being. At present, the 50,000 state troops on the other side of the state government have sent 40,000 to suppress the Nanyang County next door. We want more reinforcements. It is difficult. !" Chen Zhongyi said helplessly.
The reason why the prefectural government sent most of the troops to suppress Nanyang County is mainly because most of Nanyang County has fallen into the hands of the rebels, so the prefectural government naturally sent the main force to suppress it.
In fact, it turned out that the state capital in Xiangzhou had a total of 100,000 troops, but a year ago, the imperial court drew 50,000 to go north to fight the Yuan Dynasty.
Otherwise, with an army of 100,000 people, the rebels in Xiangzhou would have been wiped out long ago.
"We don't have much money and food now, so let's go on like this..."
"The imperial court is now on the decline, and the rebels in our Jiangning County have the shadow of the remnants of the Red Sect, and Nanyang County next door does not have the shadow of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Sect? Those great sects who were forced out hundreds of years ago are back! Now these great sects After the sect came back, I didn't see the state religion Liuli Sect sending people to destroy them!" Pang Jiuling said solemnly.
"Pang, shut up, I don't want to die with you!" Chen Zhongyi snorted coldly.
Pang Jiuling glanced at the other party: "Humph!"
……
North of the city, inside the slaughterhouse.
The altar master Dong Haobo was called to Zhou Wuzhi's room.
"So, how is the investigation into Zhu Fengyin's disappearance?" Zhou Wuzhi asked.
Today, he sent someone to Huangsha Town to contact the people from the Golden Alliance. He also paid a deposit to the other party, and the other party also promised that the batch of heavy armor would be delivered in ten days.
He also revealed a piece of news to the other party, that is, when Zhu Fengyin missed her appointment, it was very likely that she had disappeared. The people from Jinmeng asked him to help investigate, of course, he readily agreed.
"The helmsman, there are no valuable clues. What we found is still similar to the clues we knew before. That is, the head of the squad, He Xiongjian, died, and it should have been killed by Zhu Fengyin. Then, she disappeared. "
"We conducted an investigation again and found an interesting clue, which is even related to our former deputy altar master Wang Kuntai!" Dong Haobo said.
"Oh? Talk about it." Zhou Wuzhi touched his chin.
"The cause of Zhu Fengyin's younger brother's death originated from the fact that the twelfth team of arresters discovered the heavy armor of the Four Seas Trading Company. Later, the chief arrester Huo Boru captured the two who had escaped from the Four Seas Trading Company and returned. So Zhu Fengyin put all the hatred on it. The entire twelfth team also has the head of its detachment, He Xiongjian, and even that Huo Boru."
"The fact that she killed He Xiongjian is a good proof."
"Let's not talk about Zhu Fengyin, our investigation found that the original twelfth team searched the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and only one deputy captain, Qin Feng, survived! Do you remember what happened to us in Lijiazhen last time? The death of the deputy altar master Wang, This Qin Feng has certain suspicions, so you should ask an incense owner who was in the city to send someone to test him. Let's not say whether the incense owner sent someone to test him, but then the incense owner's stronghold was accidentally caught. The city guards discovered it, and then they were surrounded and suppressed by the city guards, and none of them were able to escape!"
"Our investigation found that this Qin Feng is only a third-stage cultivation base. Why did Li Jiazhen and his party escape back without dying? The Four Seas Trading Company, the whole team is the only one who survived! Isn't his luck too good? ?" Dong Haobo said with a smile.
"Luck is indeed too good. At that time, Lu Xiangzhu should have received my secret letter, but whether he sent someone to test this Qin Feng, we don't know, because there is no proof." Zhou Wuzhi nodded.
At that time, after the incense master and the stronghold in the city were almost defeated, he never took this trivial matter to heart again.
I didn't expect to investigate now, this Qin Feng is indeed too strange.
"So, what if this Qin Feng is a hidden master, what if Zhu Fengyin kills He Xiongjian and then kills this Qin Feng? After all, as long as she is not stupid, she will definitely not go to Huo Boru. We should first kill He Xiongjian and Qin Feng, the only survivor of Team 12, to vent his anger, this is the greatest possibility!" Dong Haobo analyzed.
"Even if Zhu Fengyin disappeared without the trouble of looking for Qin Feng~www.readwn.com~ Since this Qin Feng went to Lijia Town, it is very likely that it has something to do with the death of the deputy altar master Wang. In any case, we have to try it out. Get over this man!"
"Well, you're right. In order to prevent accidents, tonight, you and I will bring some good hands to test this Qin Feng together." Zhou Wuzhi said.
As the dignified helmsman, he usually doesn't take action. It's fine to let some subordinates do these small things. However, after listening to Qin Feng's deeds, he always feels that it is not simple.
So go there in person, at least you'll be safe.
Even if he can really kill Zhu Fengyin, he is not afraid, because he can also kill Zhu Fengyin of the eighth rank!
Hearing that Rudder Master made his own move, Dong Haobo of course agreed very much. The lion also tried his best to fight the rabbit.
……
In the evening, Qin Yi, who was on duty, came to a restaurant for dinner. Since his father sent him to the Fang Xiandao School, he basically settled his meals outside.
On the second floor, I found a seat by the window and sat down.
While watching the people coming and going on the street, I waited for the dishes to come.
"Have you heard, the war in the north is still not optimistic. I heard that three cities were lost a few days ago!" A big man next door said with spit.
"The Beiyuan iron cavalry is really strong! There are many plains in the north, and it is very difficult for us to fight. But I think if these iron cavalry reach our south, hehe, there are many rivers and mountains and forests, then they will definitely not be able to."
"You know shit, do you know why Beiyuan suddenly attacked our Dayong?" A big man said with narrowed eyes.
The other big men all looked at him in unison, waiting for the answer.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, there are many people here, I will talk about it later when I have a chance!"
