1080 Rush into the state city
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Chong returned to Jiankang from Qu'a and urgently reported to Chen Ke, Ren Qiu and other tribesmen who were still staying in Jiankang. The confidants came to Dunan Bieye to meet him quickly.
"Since the beginning of the winter month, nine similar evils have occurred. All the victims are from Wuzhong Township. They all plan to return to their hometowns as the New Year is approaching. The victims are mainly concentrated between Jurong, Yixing, Great Wall and other places. No one is spared from being plundered, and all the money and goods are lost. So far, nearly a thousand people have been killed, and more than 20 million of the property have been lost..."
After the gathering of Dunan Bianye, Chen Ke directly reported the information he had compiled recently.
When Chen Chong heard this, his face became extremely ugly. He kicked the small case in front of him. The table rolled down the hall and broke to the ground, showing how bad he was at the moment: "In nearly a month, such a serious evil happened, how can he repay it now?"
Ren Qiu was responsible for collecting information around the Gyeonggi area. He knew that he had dereliction of duty, so he stood up and explained: "Because the incidents were mostly in the wilderness and the people were rarely visited, and it was not until the fourth case that local villagers noticed it one after another. But at that time it was only an isolated case, and only informed the county governments of various places. Moreover, most of the victims were not used to business travel, and the identity was difficult to investigate. There have been frequent incidents, and the connections were highlighted. I learned that someone was deliberately hunting down the people in Wuxing... "
Although the Dunian Intelligence Network has been built for a long time, it is mainly concentrated in densely populated places in Kinki. For example, most of the locations where the crime occurred are wilderness, and even people are rare, so it is naturally impossible to fully cover them.
Moreover, the incident was not concentrated in one place, and most of the victims were the most ordinary travelers and business travelers. At present, human resources are mainly focused on some important targets, so they naturally lacked much attention to these ordinary people.
By the time they were confirmed to be targeted, six or seven cases had occurred, and two more remote crime sites were discovered afterwards. So when they became alert and warned the people of Wuxing not to leave the capital casually in the near future, the number of crimes that had already occurred reached as many as nine. This was just what had been discovered, and as for the more remote places, the investigation was still being carried out quickly.
Although there are many reasons, Ren Qiu also knew that so many people's lives were not just dereliction of duty to remedy, so he simply bowed down: "The subordinates know that they are serious and dare not seek forgiveness. But now, they should still order the villagers to travel far as they want as soon as possible. Although there were a few notices before, only a few people were allowed to receive the information. It is difficult for more villagers to announce them all, and it is difficult to completely restrain them."
"It is right not to advertise. If this matter is spread to all the villagers, the feelings will be even more worried and afraid, but I am afraid that the momentum of leaving the capital will be even more turbulent and difficult to curb. At that time, even if you want to be wary of it, you will have no way to pursue it."
Qian Feng said in a deep voice in the table that there are too many people from Wuzhong, especially Wuxing, in Jiankang. Some of the good-looking villagers are just fine. They can control themselves. The most fear is that if ordinary villagers who don’t know the danger, they will be unimaginable if they learn that Wuxing people are being hunted wildly, the panic caused will be unimaginable, and there is a very likely wave of uncontrollable return home.
After all, when danger comes, too many people have no rational judgment on where the safest place is. The most inclined choice is to return to their hometown and hide.
Therefore, it is the worst way to inform the villagers of being vigilant. If you want to solve the problem, the most important thing is to fundamentally find out who is targeting the people of Wuxing and attacking the murderer.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Chong recognized Qian Feng's view: "There are frequent evil things happening in Kinki, which will inevitably make people in the capital thrill. Shouldn't this be Taichung Yin? Where is Li Yang? Where is Langya? Are there any abnormal movements in these two places?"
Hearing this question, Ren Qiu's face looked a little ugly. He was enough to lay his hands in the capital, including Kinki Yaojin, but if he wanted to completely monitor the movements of the two places, he still had no strength to catch up. As long as there was no large-scale abnormal movement, such as the dive into pieces, and then integrated in a hidden place, he would have a great opportunity to avoid the eyes and ears.
Moreover, through searching the crime sites, we can find that almost all of them were one-sided massacres, and the traces left afterwards were very subtle. It can be seen that the elite team of at most hundreds of people who committed the assaulters could not have been dispatched in large quantities.
Even if we don’t talk about Liyang, although Langya County is only a foreign country, it is also a place between Guanghe and the two counties. You should know that even a city requires tens of thousands of people. It is impossible to fully monitor all the entrances and exits of the two counties. What’s more, the local expatriates in Langya are entrenched, and they are extremely xenophobic, and many local details are difficult to collect.
Without waiting for Ren Qiu to answer, Chen Chong also realized the difficulty and couldn't help but say angrily: "Ren Jun, you must remember that if something really happens a day, I must eradicate this nest in Langya Qiao County!"
Although there is no specific evidence to point out, from the analysis of the reason, Chen Chendan immediately said angrily: "The eyes and ears and eyes are scattered outside Langya County. Once you find that the Wang family is in and out, you will immediately capture them, regardless of life or death! There are also various ferries in the west and south. Any strange goods flow pointed to Liyang, and immediately arrange for manpower to attack and kill them! It is reported that the villagers, who have to gather in a large group, and my family will also send people to guard the way, and the villagers will never be allowed to be killed again. They will also inform the villagers of the village along the way, and that if there is another evil thing happening in the village, I will let them pay their lives!"
"Protecting the villagers is the most important thing, but if the members are too focused, I'm afraid that this is going to fall into the other party's website!"
Qian Feng heard Chen Chong's many arrangements and reminded him on one side.
"Of course I understand this matter. Not only did my family send a guard to the horse, Taichung can't stay out of trouble! Such evil things broke out in Kinki's location. Can those stupid guys still pretend to be fine? If this is true, it would be unpredictable for their respective yards to be sneaked into the house and cut off their heads and suspended by strong people in the future!"
This incident did touch the bottom line of Chenquan. Although all parties secretly fought each other and used their own methods to do everything they could, if they directly targeted the unarmed and innocent villagers, it would be outrageous: "Call me to the department and prepare the car, I will go to the state city first."
Yangzhou Prefecture City is located in the north of Jiankang West City. At present, the nominal governor Liu Chao still stayed in the capital of Beijing and did not enter the capital. Therefore, the person who was in charge of the affairs of the prefecture was Mei Tao, which was the chief historian when Director Wang served as Situ.
Mei Tao is a man with a weak voice, but he is diligent, so since he took office, he has spent most of his time dealing with the affairs handed over between the counties of Yangzhou. However, blindly being diligent but having no rules may not be a good thing. In previous years, when he was the head of Director Wang, Mei Tao was still competent because of the guidance of Director Wang.
However, the complex structure of the platform now leaves him without even a direct subordinate official, so recently Mei Tao has a feeling of becoming more and more chaotic as he gets busier and he can barely maintain it.
There have been many robberies in Kinki. Mei Tao also knew about this, but she did not sensitively connect it with any conspiracy. In addition to instructing all counties to be cautious in preventing thieves, she also hoped that Chen Ce of Taicheng could allocate some guards to conduct a warning and search in the county.
After doing his own job, Mei Tao did not keep a constant attention on this, and his energy was quickly occupied by other firms.
So when the rumor behind the door was that Sikong Chen Chong came to the prefecture, Mei Tao still had some doubts and did not understand why Chen Chong came to the door. But since the people had already arrived in the prefecture, it was not easy to see him, so Mei Tao ordered his subordinates to receive him on his behalf, and after he finished his work, he went to the reception himself.
But before he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door. Mei Tao frowned and saw Chen Chong wearing armor and entering the room with dozens of burly guards following him. Behind him were a group of officials and guards in a hurry.
"Si, Sikong wants..."
Seeing this scene, Mei Tao's forehead suddenly appeared cold sweat. He also knew that the current struggle between the parties had reached an extremely critical moment. Chen Chong suddenly came to the state city with this attitude, which made it difficult for him to think about it or not.
"Don't disturb me, but I have urgent information and have to take the timely expediency."
After Chen Chong entered the room, he didn't look at Mei Tao directly, and sat directly into a seat with a cover on the left and right sides of the innermost side. Then he looked at Mei Tao with a look of eagerness and said coldly: "I heard some rumors that a group of murderers were about to sneak into the capital, intending to assassinate the supporters of all the public groups in Taiwan. The incident was about to happen and he did not dare to neglect, so he came to tell me."
You are the leader of those murderers, are you?
Mei Tao saw the solemn guards beside Chen Chong, and his heart whispered a little, and at the same time his heart tensed suddenly and said in a trembling voice: "How is this possible? I wonder where Sikong got the news, whether it was confirmed?"
"How is it impossible? There are bandits wandering around in Kinki, frequently causing killings. Thousands of people in the village have been killed. Perhaps it is hard to stop these murderers, and it is unknown whether they are going to assassinate Tai Suk. As for whether it is true, is this not the responsibility that your prefecture should bear, so why ask me?"
When Mei Tao heard Chen Chong's robbery, he opened his mouth and felt speechless. However, he was not stupid, and soon realized from Chen Chong's words that it was fake to report the case, because some murders outside the capital were real recently.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out between Mei Tao's forehead. He had already forgotten this matter, but he did not expect that it would lead to the most troublesome god in the city.
"Sikong please wait for a moment, and I will order someone to search..."
"Just here, and now the murder is second. What I said is that the assassination of Tai Suk is important. Don't think that if a real evil breaks out, will your prefecture handle it? Why don't you report it to Taichung as soon as possible?"
Before Chen Chong finished speaking, his subordinates moved faintly to the doors and windows to isolate the inside and outside.
Seeing this scene, Mei Tao realized that he was being held hostage. At the same time, he had to follow Chen Chong's instructions and quickly write at his desk, copying what Chen Chong said in the book, and then ordered people to quickly send them to Taicheng.
Chen Chong was present at the scene, waiting for Taicheng to respond.
Although he was already angry, he did not lose his mind. He was not sure whether Taiwan Assistant was involved in this matter. If Taiwan Assistant really participated in targeting the people of Wuxing Township, it would be difficult for him to leave calmly if he entered Taiwan rashly.
The city of Zhoucheng is near Xicheng, which is the most densely populated place in the capital. Once the Taishu ordered the siege of Zhoucheng, he would have his troops scattered in Xicheng. At that time, the noise would arise, and the West City would inevitably be in chaos, and he could also take advantage of the chaos to escape.
