Chapter 2428 Bait and hook some hooks
"quick! quick! The dog is coming! 』
Prepare it! Move quickly! 』
‘Where’s the blood? Splash some over there! 』
『Drag the body over there! There are too many here! 』
??If the props team of the later film and television city traveled to the present time, they would probably think that they had just changed the scene of a drama unknowingly, but real corpses would never be used in the scenes of later generations.
??A group of people arranged a "crime" scene in a messy manner, laying out corpses, sprinkling blood, and then throwing some **** knives and guns on the ground.
It’s almost time, let’s go! 』
"quick! quick! Gone! 』
?A group of people went into the mountain forest, leaving only these corpses in the mountain road.
About a stick of incense, a team appeared on the mountain road.
??Qin Bo’s eyes widened and he looked at everything in front of him.
The fishy smell filled his nasal cavity and made Qin Bo''s head hurt.
As a child from a humble family who was promoted by Sun Quan, he does not have enough experience in facing emergencies like some powerful families, nor does he have talents that are superior to others. What he only has is his "loyalty" to Sun Quan, because He knew that everything he had now was given by Sun Quan, even if he was thrown here like a dog at the moment.
The problem is that Qin Bo doesn''t have a dog''s nose. When faced with **** scenes, he can''t smell anything unusual.
? Will the world lower the difficulty value of a person because of his lack of ability?
Qin Bo, who has little experience in war, is not only unable to tell whether these corpses are "fresh" enough, but he can''t even tell how many Shanyue and Han people there are...
Just know that this is a dead person.
When someone dies, things will naturally become more serious. The more people die, the bigger things get. Although there is no strict ratio requirement for this rule, in the subconscious of most people, this is basically how it is judged, including Qin Bo.
?Originally, Qin Bo thought that the "Shanyue Rebellion" was just a lie, or an illusion planned by the gang in Jiangdong. But when he really came here, he found that something was not right.
Although when Qin Bo received Sun Quan''s order, Sun Quan had almost "explicitly" asked Qin Bo to find out who was behind the Shanyue rebellion, but Qin Bo knew that he could not just catch someone at will. Even if Amao and Agou are in conflict, they must find conclusive evidence, at least to a certain extent, "conclusive" evidence, otherwise it will not be the so-called Amao and Agou who will die, but himself!
Yes, he knew that he was Sun Quan''s dog, so the way for a dog to survive, besides being obedient, was to have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. Otherwise, once useless, he would be easily replaced and even become a good candidate to take the blame. . Qin Bo does not have the blood of a primary school student, so he cannot easily declare that there is only one truth. Faced with such a complex and chaotic situation, a sense of powerlessness arises spontaneously.
?The initial sense of honor for shouldering Sun Quan''s trust gradually disappeared, leaving only a rising sense of shame, or was it a further feeling, such as "men''s football for future generations"?
『Shan Yue is killing our people again! 』
‘These evil thieves must be severely punished! 』
Why did the special envoy delay in giving the order? ! 』
The facts are right in front of you, what else needs to be discerned? 』
Noisy voices sounded around Qin Bo, and some of the questions pointed to Shanyue itself, or the dissatisfaction and unrest in Shanyue caused by Shi Xie''s actions in Lingling and Guiyang had nothing to do with the gentry in Jiangdong. contact.
?That’s right, Qin Bo’s goal is to find out the flaws of the Jiangdong nobles, not for the endorsement of the Jiangdong nobles!
?But now, everything in front of him is forcing Qin Bo step by step to admit that it is indeed the Shanyue rebellion and has nothing to do with the Jiangdong gentry...
??Qin Bo finally got rid of these entanglements and hid in Zhu Huan''s camp.
Qin Bo originally wanted to take advantage of Zhu Huan and let Zhu Huan take action, but Zhu Huan was not a fool. He directly said that all orders should be obeyed by Sun Quan''s special envoy. If he wanted to send out the army, he could just ask Qin Bo to issue a written order.
How could Qin Bo issue a written order? Isn''t this giving the evidence to Zhu Huan? If something goes wrong, Zhu Huan will act according to orders. At most, he will be scolded. Then Qin Bo, who issued the order, must bear the main responsibility.
??Now the problem is deadlocked here. On the one hand, there are more and more incidents of "Mountain Attacks on Han People", and the resentment in the countryside is getting bigger and bigger. On the other hand, Qin Bo can''t find a breakthrough for the time being and can''t implement the evidence.
Of course, it is not impossible to hand over an ambiguous evidence of crime. It is also not impossible to arrest someone, frame him as a so-called middleman, and then bite a certain Jiangdong nobleman. However, Qin Bo knows what the subsequent consequences will be.
Sun Quan would definitely get "livid" immediately, and without saying a word, he would attack the Jiangdong nobles based on the "criminal evidence" provided by Qin Bo, and directly arrest and imprison him. Then he would unfortunately get sick in prison, or hide and seek, anyway, he was just taking advantage of the opportunity. The "evidence of guilt" is here, kill a few first. Later, even if the Jiangdong nobles discover the flaws in the "evidence of guilt", or prove that the arrested person is wronged, Sun Quan will be like "suddenly enlightened", slap his thigh, and turn around. Qin Bo angrily accused Qin Bo of framed a good person, but Qin Bo was hit with a stick on the spot and lost half his life, or his head fell to the ground and died.
“The world is impermanent, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other...” Qin Bo sighed with his hands behind his back, “Why can’t this world and people’s hearts be simpler? Why is there such intrigue? The world is really in decline... I still need to find a way to bait..."
Qin Bo was worried, but no matter how Qin Bo lamented, he had to make his own choice in such a contradiction and choose how to die.
At Tongguan under the hussar, Fan Cong was also having a headache about his choice.
??During the annual rotation or replacement of new veterans, military centers like Tongguan are always extremely busy. Ordinary civil servants in charge of household registration and military officials in charge of military affairs came and went, holding either large piles of documents or written documents to pass on. You would also see some civilians carrying burdens, all of which were Wooden slips, bamboo slips and copper sheets.
Although the use of bamboo paper has been promoted in many places, the military is still accustomed to using wooden slips and bamboo slips that are less susceptible to damage, and those copper sheets are the identity certificates of retired soldiers. After these retired soldiers turn in the copper plates that represent their military status, they will be converted into ordinary civilian household registrations...
??Fan Cong held several volumes of documents, nodded slightly to the soldiers standing guard at the door, and then entered Xintongguan City and walked to the official mansion in the city.
Tongguan New City was built for military purposes. Naturally, some passages are not as majestic as Chang''an Mausoleum. Instead, they appear narrow and shabby. Just like the passage leading to the official mansion, it is a bit narrow and can only accommodate two people. Horses are placed side by side, and only three or four people are abreast. If they encounter a vehicle or someone carrying a load, they must step aside to avoid it.
?Of course, in the bureaucracy, well, this is actually the case in many places. Those with high positions have many priorities. Among such a relatively narrow group of colleagues, the general priority is reflected in the official rank. A clerk in plain clothes met Fan Cong and quickly stepped aside to make more space.
?Fan Cong nodded slightly and walked straight past.
The clerks in plain clothes are the most basic official personnel. They are basically trainees and have no fixed errands. They are often transferred here and there on a temporary basis, which is euphemistically called "rotation." He showed certain talents and won the favor of a certain department head. After so many rounds, he would continue to be "rotated" in plain clothes forever.
?Although Fan Cong’s position is not high, at least his belt has some color. When he was approaching the end of the passage, someone suddenly walked out of it. When Fan Cong saw it, he suddenly looked like the plain-clothed official just now, shrinking his head, bowing slightly, and stepped aside.
The person who came was Ma Gang, the confidant of Ma Yue''s bodyguard and commander.
In fact, Fan Cong did not recognize Ma Gang at first sight, because Ma Gang did not wear a military uniform today, but simply wore a red shirt, tied around his waist with a leather belt, and did not carry a sword. The evil aura on Ma Gang''s body was slightly reduced, but soon, Fan Cong recognized Ma Gang''s face, which had two scars, one horizontal and one vertical.
With two scars, Ma Gang''s face is naturally not good-looking. If he puts on a **** armor, even if he doesn''t move at all and just stands there, most of them will be timid. The two tendons are fighting, and they dare not look directly.
Fan Cong is actually quite afraid of Ma Gang. It''s not that Fan Cong has any contact with Ma Gang, but that several times in his dreams, he dreamed that Ma Gang led someone to kick open the door of his yard, and then He pounced on him ferociously, and when he woke up, he saw that it was a rat that came out in the middle of the night and knocked something down in the house...
?Fan Cong sometimes feels like the mouse that ran out of the dark night and was suddenly exposed to the sun.
Ma Gang squinted his eyes and frowned, but he did not stop or speak. He just passed by Fan Cong with his head raised and went straight forward.?????This is normal behavior.
Fan Cong and Ma Gang were not familiar with each other and had no interaction with each other, so it was impossible for Ma Gang to say hello to Fan Cong. Moreover, when Fan Cong passed by the plain-clothed clerk, he would not give way because of the plain-clothed clerk. As for thanking him, Ma Gang obviously would not thank Fan Cong for avoiding him.
?Fan Cong secretly exhaled, then waited for Ma Gang to take another two steps forward, then continued forward, rounded the corner, and entered the official residence.
?Fan Cong didn''t have eyes behind his back, so he didn''t know that after he turned the corner, Ma Gang, who was looking forward, suddenly stopped, then turned his head and glanced at the corner where Fan Cong disappeared. Against the background of the two scars, this glance looked a bit sinister and sharp, like a sword being slightly pulled out of its scabbard.
Ma Gang left the county government office, and then two people followed him at some point.
Ma Gang walked forward silently, and the two of them followed behind silently.
Tongguan New Town is not big. After passing the cross street, Ma Gang turned into an alley on the side, then turned twice more, and finally arrived at Fan Cong''s residence.
The courtyard door is unlocked.
A follower was about to push the door open, but was stopped by Ma Gang, who pointed to the low wall.
?Fan Cong will definitely be stopped when he enters the official house, and then he will be asked to take turns with other officials to report some summary of the work of the past few days...
?Fan Cong’s servant will also be called by Fang Zheng at this time, and then go to the other side of the county government office to queue up to register to receive the small benefits of Tongguan officials...
To report, everyone reports together, and to receive benefits, everyone lines up to receive them together. Under such circumstances, refusing would naturally mean acting abnormally, and acting abnormally is absolutely unacceptable to Fan Cong.
Three people climbed into the wall one after another.
?There is nothing unusual inside the wall. There is no deliberate manipulation on the wall, nor is there any gravel or sludge spread on the ground at the base of the wall...
Everything looks like an ordinary yard.
?This is not surprising either.
After all, the more bizarre it is, the more defense methods and detection facilities there are, the more it means there is a problem.
The yard is not big and can be seen at a glance.
?There is a small stone well and a tree in the corner. There are stone tables and chairs under the tree, and there are several drying racks built with bamboo poles on the other side.
Ma Gang ordered one person to search the backyard, and another person to inspect the stone wells, trees and other objects in the courtyard to see if there were any abnormalities. He himself took a closer look around the doors and windows of the houses in the courtyard.
Originally, today''s task of investigating Fan Cong''s family was only handled by people from the Wen Division, but Ma Gang said that it was his suggestion, so he took the responsibility, took it directly, and persuaded the Wen Division people. The team leader asked him to find out the details of Fan Cong''s servants.
After all, Ma Gang’s face is so iconic.
Although it was said that after Ma Yue reported Fan Cong''s situation, he received approval from the Youwen Department and said that he could continue to monitor Fan Cong. However, Ma Gang learned a few days ago that Fan Cong had invited Hu Cao''s subordinates two days ago. Li Shuzuo drinks...
This may be an ordinary favor, but it may also be a certain action.
?Maanshan Iron and Steel suggested checking it out.
??It''s not that Ma Gang is striving for credit, but that Ma Gang himself is getting older.
He followed Ma Yan before, and now he follows Ma Yue. Although the treatment is good, the butcher''s knife of time is really painful when it cuts people down.
Let’s not talk about the injured parts of the body. It’s normal to be so painful that you can’t sleep at night on a rainy day. The two scars on the face alone look scary to ordinary people, but for Ma Gang, one scar affected his eyelids. It is difficult to completely close his eyes while sleeping, and his eyeballs often become dry, causing the vision in that eye to drop a lot. The other scar may involve nerves on his face. Others say that he is usually stern and unsmiling, like the cold-faced King of Hell, but in fact it is He couldn''t do any big moves at all, let alone joking, even shouting would hurt.
So, with Ma Yan’s semi-retirement, Ma Steel itself has to consider its retreat. Although middle-level non-commissioned officers like him usually serve as patrol captains after retirement, or as county captains and robbers in a certain county, the problem is that Ma Gang wants to keep his family in Guanzhong Sanfu. , did not want to live in Hanzhong or Longyou, so the newly established Youwen Division became Ma Iron and Steel''s best target.
The Youwen Division wants to expand its manpower, and its operations department is managed in a military manner and still maintains a military position. If he can really transfer to the Youwen Division, he can generally be a military prince...
Don''t think that the military marquis is too small. Most ordinary soldiers will never be able to join the ranks in their lifetime, let alone the commander-in-chief of the army. Moreover, the level of the military marquis is almost the same as that of the general county captain in a small county. Should I become a squadron leader near the imperial capital or go to a remote area to become a director? Do I need to think too much?
?Hence, Maanshan Iron and Steel is very concerned about Fan Cong, not only rushing to do it, but also doing it well.
The door is locked and the windows are closed.
Ma Gang pushed the window, but it was plugged in from the inside and could not be pushed open.
?The Wensi man who was inspecting the front yard came over and said, "There is indeed stove ashes at the courtyard door..." Although the courtyard door was unlocked, there was stove ashes under the courtyard door. Stove ashes are generally a bit gray and can easily stain the soles of your feet. If you are not careful, they will leave footprints, making it easy to know if anyone has entered the hospital.
In fact, after the Youwen Division was established, there were some secret techniques that were said to come from the Hussar and were secretly passed down within the Youwen Division. In order to learn these things, Ma Gang even took a leave of absence and went to Chang''an. Perhaps because he has a strong desire to join the Youwen Division, Ma Gang did not find it difficult to learn these precautions. According to Ma Gang himself, it is actually similar to arranging troops to fight and deploying them. You must consider the other party''s ideas. Then respond.
Ma Gang turned around and asked. Of course, there was nothing in the courtyard.
?The people who went to the backyard came back a while later and said they had even checked the toilet and found no problems.
Do you want to open the window and go in? "A person next to Ma Gang said, "Use a dagger to open the window bolt little by little, and you can go in..."
What about coming out? Ma Gang asked, "Can the window bolt be pulled back from the outside?" 』
‘This…’ the man said, ‘I’m afraid it’s a little difficult. 』
The window bolt is not the iron latch of later generations, but is made of wood. It is stuck behind the window. You can indeed use a dagger or some sharp object to open the window bolt bit by bit from the gap in the middle, but if you want to use it outside, Putting it back together is a bit difficult.
Ma Gang pondered for a moment, resisted the urge, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let''s do this for today, clean up the traces, let''s evacuate..."
"Why? Everyone is here..."
Ma Gang said: "It''s like chasing an enemy deserter. The enemy has fled into the mountains and forests. One is to continue chasing. You may kill a few more, or you may not be able to catch up, and there is also the risk of being ambushed in turn. In addition, One is to stop chasing and collect the queue... Besides, we don’t have much time left. If we don’t have time to clean it up, won’t the bait be useless... I don’t know, but it will spoil the big thing..."
Then...this is not going to be checked? So didn''t our trip here come in vain? 』
Ma Gang shook his head, "How could it be in vain?" This is obviously defensive... so there must be something hidden... It''s like the enemy is ambushing in the forest. If we don''t go in, we won''t be in trouble. How long can the enemy ambush? It will eventually be exposed... As long as you keep an eye on this bait, you will naturally know what kind of fish is coming..."
