"Drag the corpses over there! There are too many here!"
If the props team of the movie studio in later generations traveled to the present time, they would think that they had just unknowingly changed the scene of a drama, but real corpses would never be used in scenes in later generations.
A group of people arranged a "crime" scene in a messy manner, placing corpses, splattering blood, and then throwing some blood-stained knives and guns on the ground.
"It's almost done, let's go!"
"Quick! Quick! Let's go!"
A group of people went into the mountain forest, leaving only these corpses in the mountain road.
About a stick of incense later, 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 dealing with 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.
But the problem is that Qin Bo doesn't have a dog's nose. When faced with bloody scenes, he can't smell anything unusual.
Will the world lower the difficulty value for someone because of his lack of ability?
Qin Bo, who had little experience in war, could not tell not only whether these corpses were "fresh" enough, but also how many Shanyue and Han people were among them...
Just know that this is a dead person.
When people die, things will naturally become bigger. The more people die, the bigger things will become. Although there is no strict ratio requirement for this rule, in the subconscious mind of most people, it is basically the same.
Those who judge include Qin Bo.
Originally, Qin Bo thought that the "Shanyue Rebellion" was just a lie, or an illusion planned by the Jiangdong gang, but when he really came here, he realized 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, in addition to 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 the great trust of Sun Quan gradually disappeared, leaving only a rising sense of shame. Or was it a further feeling, such as "men's football for future generations"?
"Shankoshi is killing our people again!"
"These evil thieves must be severely punished!"
"Why hasn't the special envoy given the order yet?!"
"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 use Zhu Huan and let Zhu Huan take action, but Zhu Huan was not a fool. He simply said that all orders would be subject to Sun Quan's special envoy. If he wanted to send out troops, he could just ask Qin Bo to issue a written order.
How could Qin Bo issue a written order? Isn't this sending the evidence to Zhu Huan? If something goes wrong, Zhu Huan will act according to the order. 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, and it is not impossible to arrest someone, frame him as a so-called middleman, and then prey on a certain Jiangdong noble family, but Qin Bo knows what the subsequent results 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, arrest him directly, and imprison him. Then he would unfortunately get sick in prison, or hide and seek, anyway, he was taking advantage of the situation.
The "evidence of guilt" is here, kill a few first. Later, even if the Jiangdong nobles discover the flaws in this "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.
"Everything in the world is impermanent, and fortune and misfortune depend on each other..." Qin Bo sighed with his hands behind his back, "Why can't this world and this human heart be simpler? Why are there so many intrigues? The world is really declining... We still need to find a way to do it.
Just a bait..."
Qin Bo was worried, but no matter how Qin Bo lamented, he still had to make his own decision in such a contradiction and choose how to die.
And in Tongguan under the Qiusi, Fan Cong was also having a headache about his choice.
Every year when new veterans are handed over or replaced, a military center like Tongguan is always extremely busy. Ordinary civil servants in charge of household registration and military officials in charge of military affairs come and go, holding either large piles of
Some documents, or documents that were passed on, were also seen coming and going, and some people were seen carrying burdens. The burdens were all made of wooden tablets, 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. These retired soldiers turned in other
The copper piece that represents the status of a soldier will be replaced by the household registration of an ordinary household...
Fan Cong held several volumes of documents, nodded slightly to the soldiers standing guard at the door, 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 those in 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 shoulder to shoulder. If they encounter a vehicle or someone carrying a load, they must step aside to avoid it.
Of course, in the bureaucracy, well, in fact, it is the same in many places. Those with high positions have many priorities. Among such a relatively narrow group of colleagues, the prevailing priorities are reflected in the official rank.
When the clerk named Suyi saw Fan Cong, he 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."
You have shown certain talents and won the favor of a certain department head. After several rounds, you will continue to be "rotated" in plain clothes forever.
Although Fan Cong's position was not high, at least his belt had some color. When he was approaching the end of the passage, someone suddenly walked out of it. When Fan Cong saw it, he immediately looked like the plain-clothed official just now.
, shrunk his head, bowed slightly, and stepped aside.
The person who came was Ma Yue's confidant, the guard commander, Ma Gang.
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 battle robe, tied around his waist with a leather belt, and did not carry a sword. This made Ma Gang
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 bloody 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 Fan Cong, 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. Between the two scars
Against the background, this glance looked a bit sinister and sharp, like a sword 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 to the side, then turned around 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.
When Fan Cong enters the official house, he will definitely be stopped, 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, at this time, will also be called by Fang Zheng, 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 should report together, and to receive benefits, everyone should line up to receive it together. Under such circumstances, rejection naturally means abnormal behavior, and abnormal behavior is absolutely unacceptable to Fan Cong.
The three of them climbed into the wall one after another.
There was nothing unusual inside the wall. There was no deliberate manipulation on the wall, nor was 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 indicates 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 signaled 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 it was his suggestion, so he took the responsibility, took it directly, and persuaded the Wen Division people.
Captain, let him 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, resulting in a much reduced vision in that eye. The other scar may involve nerves on his face. Others say that he is usually stern and like the cold-faced King of Hell, but in fact it is
He couldn't do any big movements at all, let alone joking, even shouting would hurt.
Therefore, with Ma Yan's semi-retirement, Ma Gang himself has to consider his retreat. Although middle-level non-commissioned officers like him usually retire as inspection captains or county lieutenants in a certain county.
Thief Cao and so on, but the problem is that Ma Gang wants to keep his family in Sanfu, Guanzhong, and does not want to live in Hanzhong or Longyou, so this newly established Youwen Division has become Ma Gang's best
Target.
The Youwen Division wants to expand its manpower, and its operations department is managed in a militarized manner and still maintains a military position. In this way, 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?
Therefore, 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 window is closed.
Ma Gang pushed the window, but it was plugged in from the inside and could not be pushed open.
The person from Wensi who was inspecting the front yard came over and said, "There is indeed stove ash at the courtyard door..." Although the courtyard door is unlocked, there is stove ash under the courtyard door. Stove ash is generally a bit gray and can be easily stained.
If you are not careful, you will leave footprints on the soles of your feet, so it is 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 Hussars and were secretly passed down within the Youwen Division. In order to learn these things, Ma Gang took leave and went to Chang'an. Maybe he had it himself.
With a strong desire to join the Youwen Division, Ma Gang did not find it difficult to learn these precautions. According to Ma Gang, it is actually similar to arranging troops for battle. You must consider the other party's ideas and then respond.
Ma Gang turned around and asked, naturally there was nothing in the courtyard.
The person who went to the backyard came back a while later and said that he 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 bit by bit, 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 impulse, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's do this for today, clean up the traces, let's retreat..."
"Why? They're all 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... In addition, we don’t have much time left. If we don’t have time to clean up, won’t the bait be useless... I don’t know, but it will spoil the big thing..."
"Then... we don't want to investigate anymore? Then didn't our trip 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? After all, it will be
Exposed... As long as you stare at this bait, you will naturally know what kind of fish is coming..."
