    ~¡¶¡·~ Two hundred and seventy-six distant guests (Part 2)

    "Reporting to the chief, Xiaomin is a villager in Delin County, Xuzhou. His surname is Lao and his given name is Deming. When he came to northern Xinjiang, he went to Jing'an to visit his old friends and bought some fur goods on the way back to his hometown. These people are all his friends.  They are all honest and good citizens"

    Shen Tiehu answered according to the predetermined routine, but Lin Changshi behind him had already noticed something was wrong: in the dusk, the Dongling Guard's cavalry were in groups here and there, seemingly wandering aimlessly, but in fact they were half-surrounded secretly.  When they got up, some cavalrymen had secretly taken off the bows on their backs and took out arrows from their quivers.

    Seeing this scene, Lin Changshi took a breath: Such alert soldiers and horses, such a fierce reaction!

    They came all the way and passed many checkpoints along the way. They saw the county soldiers, rural soldiers, and government officers and police officers from all over the Wei Dynasty.  At most checkpoints, the officers and soldiers guarding them are greedy. They call it inspection, but it is actually blatant robbery. Even at some routine checkpoints, when they see many men and weapons in their group, the officers and soldiers usually have a perfunctory attitude and just take care of the matter hastily.  Asking for money and bribes.

    At those levels, Lin Changshi could easily see that the decline of the Northern Wei Dynasty had spread to the lowest level.  This regime is completely rotten, has lost hope and confidence, and is lifeless from top to bottom, lingering like a zombie.

    It is clear that this is a regime whose days are numbered.  As a military official of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Lin Zhongmao was very happy to see the enemy's lax armaments.  But what he didn't expect was that in the northern Xinjiang, far away from the center of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he would encounter such elite soldiers - who would take the initiative to interrogate when suspicious, dare to kill, and be quick to respond - if these are not elite soldiers, then what are?  Considered an elite soldier?

    You must know that these are not the main field troops in Dongping. They are just patrols to maintain public security, and they are just the government officials who are equivalent to patrolling.  The first patrol soldiers I encountered after entering Dongping were so difficult to deal with, so what was the level of Dongping's main field soldiers?

    According to the rumors, Dongping soldiers and horses are the most elite in the world, and the three hundred Dongping troops can defeat the tens of thousands of troops in the fourth brigade. At first, I thought it was just exaggerated nonsense, but now it seems that these rumors are not groundless.

    Thinking of this, Lin Changshi was secretly frightened.  Seeing that Dongping's soldiers and horses were getting ready to attack, he hurriedly said: "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. I have an old relationship with your Governor Meng Da, and I came here to visit him on this trip."

    "Are you here to visit the Governor?"

    The officer was slightly stunned. He looked at Lin Changshi - he was dressed in a cloth shirt, dusty from all the travels, but he had cheerful eyebrows, elegant appearance, fair complexion, and a very classy manner. He was obviously a man of status and accustomed to living in the world.  The person above - maybe he really knows the Governor?

    Their accents are all Huainan accents. Could it be that?  .  .

    The officer made another gesture, and the soldiers stopped moving. Only then did Shen Tiehu realize something was wrong. He stopped chattering and looked around in panic.  In the dusk, the tall bodies of the soldiers formed a longing silhouette, and the sharp weapons reflected the cold light in the darkness.

    "Hand over your weapons and follow us."

    There was no emotion in the officer's tone, and there was no emotion in his dark eyes as he stared coldly at the group of people in front of him.

    There was a commotion in the crowd, and several men shouted excitedly: "The world is so chaotic, we only carry weapons to protect ourselves. This is not against the king's law!"

    "That's right, it doesn't bother anyone if we bring weapons! Why should we hand them over?"

    ¡°Officers and soldiers cannot be unreasonable!¡±

    Amid the shouting, the corners of the officer's mouth slowly lengthened, and a sneer appeared on his lips.  Seeing that smile, Lin Zhongmao felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.  He made a decisive decision and shouted: "Hold on, shut up - listen to this officer and hand over your weapons!"

    Seeing that everyone surrendered their weapons obediently, the officer's face twitched. He looked at Lin Changshi and nodded slightly: "Yes, the leader, you are a knowledgeable person. What is your name?"

    "My surname is Lin, and my courtesy name is Zhongmao. May I ask what your surname is, sir?"

    "My name is Jiang Hai." The young officer looked at the western sky. Over there, the last bright red sun was setting on the horizon. Darkness had gradually enveloped the field. The outline of the officer's handsome face gradually blurred in the dusk. Only his face was visible.  A pair of sharp eyes, as sharp as a falcon, shine in the dusk.

    "Come on, everyone, get on your horses and follow us. I will take you to see the Grand Governor."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.

    The largest military force in the six towns of Northern Xinjiang?, the actual ruler of the three towns of Dongping, Wuchuan and Chicheng, Governor Meng Jumeng, was jogging in his garden.  Since returning from the Central Plains, Meng Ju has become accustomed to running laps in the courtyard of the mausoleum office in the morning.

    In the fresh morning air, bathed in the warm sunshine, he ran for a while, stretched his muscles and bones, and sweated profusely. Meng Ju felt very comfortable.

    When he returned to his yard, Wang Jiu greeted him with a smile on his face: "Sir, Chief Jiang Hai has been here in the morning and is waiting for you over there in the hall."

    "Jiang Hai?" Meng Ju was stunned for a moment: "Hasn't he recently led a team to supervise the suppression of horse bandits? What do you want from me?"

    "This I didn't dare to ask what happened to Chief Jiang, but seeing Chief Jiang's serious look, I didn't dare to delay and came to report it immediately."

    "Let Chief Jiang wait for a moment. I will come over after I take a shower and change clothes."

    After hurriedly taking a shower with cold water and changing into formal clothes, Meng Ju suddenly felt refreshed and energetic.  He quickly walked into the main hall. Jiang Hai was sitting upright in the hall. When he saw Meng Ju coming in, he stood up and saluted: "See the Grand Governor!"

    "Without courtesy, Governor Jiang, please take a seat." Meng Ju waved his hand and sat straight to the main seat: "So early, Governor Jiang has something to do with me? But there are some clues about the encirclement and suppression of the Seven Horse Bandits of Song Dynasty?"

    Jiang Hai leaned slightly and said, "Back to the Governor, Song Qi's gang is still under siege. Knowing that the Governor is concerned, even the local government and the Mausoleum Office of Jiang Mansion attach great importance to this case. Manager Yang Qiu personally led the team and dispatched three  More than a hundred officers and soldiers, and even Jiang Mansion also organized more than a thousand rural soldiers to participate in the suppression. Now, we have discovered two dens of Song Qi's men and arrested five including Song Liu, Zheng Twelve, and Liu Dasc  The leader of the horse bandits killed and captured more than 100 members of the horse bandits.

    It¡¯s just that the bandit leader Song Qi is cunning and suspicious, and his men are all ruthless bandits with one person and two horses. Their movements are erratic and they come and go like the wind. It is really difficult to capture him.  We set up ambushes twice and he escaped.  In the past month and a half, he has disappeared and stopped committing crimes. We all estimate that he is either hiding in the wilderness somewhere, waiting for the limelight to pass;  Escaped.

    Now, the Lianjiang Ling Department is intensifying the interrogation of the captured horse bandits, hoping to find clues to his lair.  "

    "Thank you, Governor Jiang, for your hard work, and even for the brothers in the Jiang Mansion. I am also a criminal case officer, and I know that these horse bandits who roam around and commit crimes are the most difficult. Although you failed to catch Song Qi himself, you killed so many  Many gangsters ganged up on their henchmen and severely damaged their vitality, but they still achieved great results.

    However, the roaming horse bandits killed merchants, plundered goods, looted villages and towns, and massacred their neighbors. This year alone, more than 200 innocent merchants and villagers died at the hands of the seven horse bandit gangs in Song Dynasty. This gang is really a blood debt.  Tired, it will do great harm to me, Dongping!

    Now, the culprit Song Qi is still on the run, and the pursuit will be very difficult.  You must continue to investigate. If you find that the culprit has escaped from Lianjiang Mansion and needs help from other local governments to pursue him, tell me and I will come to the local government to negotiate.  Even if we chase him to the ends of the earth, we must capture him and bring him to justice, otherwise we, the Dongling Guards, will not be able to explain to the folks in Dongping.  "

    "Yes, the Governor's teachings will be kept in mind and will be conveyed to Manager Yang, Deputy Manager Fang and the soldiers participating in the war. We will definitely continue to work hard to wipe out Song Qi's gang as soon as possible. We will never let down the Governor.  expect."

    Meng Ju nodded with satisfaction, but felt a little strange in his heart: "Jiang Hai came to see me early in the morning just to say this? These words can be said in an official letter. There is no need to go all the way from Lianjiang Mansion.  come back?"

    Seeing Meng Ju¡¯s confused eyes, Jiang Hai straightened up seriously.  He looked to the left and right. Meng gathered in agreement and waved the guards out. Jiang Hai then said: "Grand Governor, General Rong Mo has something confidential to report. Two days ago, when General Mo was tracing the traces of the horse bandits,  A group of people with suspicious identities were discovered. This group of people carried prohibited weapons, spoke with Jiangnan accents, and had unknown origins. Judging from the experience of the general, they were probably the Yinghou sent by the Southern Dynasty to infiltrate Northern Xinjiang and spy on our army's intelligence.  "

    "The Yinghou of the Southern Dynasty? This matter is not trivial. In this case, can Governor Jiang arrest them?"

    "I originally wanted to do this, but I have some concerns"

    Meng Ju looked at him in surprise: "What worries does Governor Jiang have? Isn't it a matter of course for our Dongling Guards to arrest spies from the Southern Dynasties? Is there anyone else who would stop and coerce you?"

    Jiang Hai was silent for a while and said softly: "The general does have concerns. The general's concerns are you, the governor."

    A year ago, when Meng Ju suddenly heard this, he was so frightened that he fainted on the spot.  But now, his power is growing and his effectivenessAs his army already exceeded 30,000, and there were more than 2,500 armored warriors who were good at fighting. With such an elite army at hand, Meng Ju felt confident. He lay down comfortably on the back of the Grand Master's chair.  , squinting at the other party, and said coldly: "How about Governor Jiang speaking more clearly?"

    Ah, squealing pig, I have too many things to worry about this week and I have to add new debts. There are only two updates this week.  .  .

    Everyone must believe that pigs are trustworthy animals, and the manuscripts they owe will definitely be repaid!
