The attack, which suddenly appeared, ended inexplicably again.
After the crazily rain of arrows, it is normal to rush some of the personnel responsible for hand-to-hand combat, break through the defense of the guards, and finally achieve the goal of assassination.
But what is strange is that it is like an inexplicable thunderstorm in summer. After the rumbling lightning and thunder, a few raindrops fell, and then in a blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace. If the arrows on the shields and wooden stakes of vehicles were still shaking, and the miserable situation of those unlucky servants would almost have been considered a farce...
Wang Ying's guard head hesitated and poked half of his head out from behind the shield. He was very slow and ready to retract at any time.
But it was quiet in the dense forest and there was no sound.
The guard next to him was still holding a big shield and gradually stretched out his head. After looking around, he exchanged glances with the leader.
The guard leader waited for a while and listened.
The rustling sound seemed like a beast was moving away.
Could it be that these thieves...
Run away?
Why did he just run away?
The leader of the guard was a little disbelief, but he still stretched out his hand and signaled. The two guards held their shields and approached in the direction where the arrows were densely packed, and finally walked into the dense forest step by step...
After a moment, he came back again, "The thieves ran away! There was no one in the forest! The thieves ran away! They ran away!"
"Run away?" The news made the guard leader ununderstandable. He immediately took several guards to the jungle again. As the guard said, there were only a messy traces left in the jungle, and there were no other figures.
It was like these thieves just came here, pouring out a group of arrows crazy, and doing nothing else.
At least some rockets or something, too...
Forget it, the guard leader ordered to be on the spot with a feeling of not knowing how to express it, and asked several people to search for more traces in the forest.
Then, just like most incidents, the soldiers garrisoned in Beiqu came slowly when Daju was already asthma.
Wang Ying did not show up and asked the guard leader to contact reinforcements from Beiqu County.
The leader of Beiqu County is Cheng Yun, the inspector.
Cheng Yun felt very strange after hearing the whole story of the incident. Both sides entered the forest again, checked the traces, and then expanded the area of ​​the search this time and found some things.
After passing through this large forest, there was a place that was obviously regarded as a temporary horse camp, with some marks such as horse manure and the remaining grass of war horses. Then, following the horse's footprints, they stopped at a river that was not too big or small.
"There is no mark on the other side of the river!" A guard rode his horse across the shallow river beach and shouted loudly.
"The thief borrowed this river, either upstream or downstream..." Cheng Yun said, and then asked, "It is possible that they all went and left separately..."
The escort leader was silent for a while and decided not to chase after him, because he couldn't find anything if he chased him.
However, the thieves could not be traced, and some of the arrows, weapons and other uses by the thieves in the forest and camp were cleaned up.
The head of the guard looked at it and changed his expression. He took it back to the camp and presented it to Wang Ying, "Master, this is a standard weapon! He also deliberately got rid of the mark! This must have been planned for a long time!"
Wang Ying was a little confused at first, but at the command of the guard leader, he also understood what these things meant. His face turned pale and then turned red again, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
After a while, Wang Ying decided to go to Beiqu County, so the two sides joined together, swept away from each other, and protected Wang Ying to reach Beiqu County. It seemed that the incident had come to an end, but in fact, the whole incident had just begun.
Looking at the things left in the forest above the hall, Zhang Shi, the magistrate of Beiqu County, was as deep as water.
Zhang Xi was originally a big soldier, but later he changed his position to become an envoy of education. After accumulating some merits, he practiced in Pingyang for a period of time and now he serves as the magistrate of Beiqu County.
The county magistrate is generally a large county, and the small county is generally called a long one, but there is also a huge workshop city in Beiqu, so it is not wrong to call it "Ling". However, Zhang Shi himself knew that as the county magistrate of Beiqu, he could only manage these people's livelihood matters. As for military power and matters within the workshop, they were not under his jurisdiction.
So when facing the "evidence" in front of him, Zhang Shi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
After a while, inspector Cheng Yun arrived. After seeing Wang Ying and Zhang Xi, his eyes fell on the "evidences", and frowned. Then he sat down and said nothing. His eyes swayed on Wang Ying and Zhang Xi for a moment, and then closed his eyes slightly to rest.
After a while, the workshop manager Huang Hai arrived late, and his fat face was covered in greasy smile. Before the person entered the house, his voice came in first, "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ah haha... Uh...
Huang Hai just walked in, glanced at him and uttered, then his eyes fell on Wang Ying, "This... this is..."
Zhang Xi introduced it, Huang Hai hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit, and then sat down, "What's the matter? This guy is here, I'll say it!"
Wang Ying was silent.
Zhang Xi coughed, then bowed to Wang Yinggong and said, "This morning, Jun Hou was attacked by thieves outside the city..."
Zhang Xi told the story, and then Cheng Yun said, "After receiving the request for help, he ordered the county emperor to send people to rescue him... When a certain man arrived at Junhou's camp, the thief had already withdrawn and these were left in the forest..."
Cheng Yun signaled the "evidences" in the middle.
Huang Hai's fat face wrinkled, glanced at the left and the right, "So, what you mean is...
A silence.
Zhang Shi had no choice but to cough again, "I just want you to see what these things are from."
『What is the origin?』 Huang Hai looks stupid, and his face is fat, but he is not confused.『This thing can be found everywhere, arrows, bows, and swords, not to mention workshops, there are no granaries in your county town? There are no soldiers in your team? Well? These are all standard pieces. Do you know what standard pieces are? They are the same size, and the difference is not much! Just look at it, what do you think can you see?』
Wang Ying still didn't speak.
Cheng Yun glanced left and right, with a calm face.
Zhang Shi continued helplessly: "There is nothing else, it's just this weapon or something. I think you are familiar with Huang Dagong. Can you help find some clues and give some suggestions? Could it be that Huang Dagong...I don't want it?"
『Hi!』 Huang Hai smiled, 『You said that earlier?! I asked me to help, and I said I would help, and I had to tell you how to see the origin... It was really unpleasant...』
Huang Hai went forward and took an arrow. He frowned skillfully, then frowned again, his brows became more and more: "Well, this mark has been smoothed out! Look, here..."
Huang Hai turned the arrow in his hand to show it to Wang Ying, Zhang Chengyun, "Here, here and here have been polished... Just looking at this trace, it will take at least one month... If you carefully identify it, well, this is the word "wu", but it is useless. All the word "wu" workshops have arrows, thousands of arrows every day, without specific numbers, who knows where the moon was going that day?"
Huang Hai shook his head and threw the arrows and rods on the table, and the jingling sounded. "It's useless, you still have to catch people. Just these...haha, it's useless..."
Zhang Shi looked at Wang Ying with a squint eyes and found that Wang Ying was still saying nothing, so he frowned a little, "This, yes, Yuyang Hou... Look at this..."
Wang Ying still looked serious, but she couldn't think of anything for a moment, and the scene was a little awkward.
Huang Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Ah, since Junhou has no objection... This, there are too many things in my workshop. Those guys can burn the stove without watching. There is no way, haha, there is no way, I'm just working hard, so I'll say goodbye first... Ah, Junhou, I'm going to say goodbye...
Zhang Shi turned to look at Wang Ying.
Wang Ying then felt something was wrong, but what was wrong was that she couldn't say. She was about to leave when she saw Huang Hai. She wanted Huang Hai to stay, but how to stay and what to do. Wang Ying was not sure about it, so she opened her mouth but couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Huang Hai smiled more and more, bowed to Wang Ying, and walked out: "Let me leave... When you arrive in Beiqu, the county master must treat you well. Don't neglect the king... If you have any shortcomings, the county master can come to me again... Say goodbye, say goodbye...
Cheng Yun sat aside with his brows frowned.
Zhang Shi looked at Huang Hai, then looked at Wang Ying again, but saw that Wang Ying didn't speak, so he raised half of his hand and put it down...
At this moment, a guard outside the county government suddenly ran in and shouted: "Pingyang Special Envoy, County Magistrate Puziwang asked for a meeting!"
The magistrate of Beiqu County and Puzi County are now affiliated with the State of Pingyang and there is no different levels. However, with the title of Pingyang Special Envoy, there is a gap. Even if the so-called "Pingyang Special Envoy" knows that it is a temporary position, it cannot be neglected.
Zhang Xi quickly got up and walked out. Cheng Yun also walked out without saying a word, and Huang Hai followed behind. Wang Ying in the hall was stunned for a moment, stood up hesitantly, and followed him out.
It was Wang Ling.
Behind Wang Ling are six cavalry guards wearing thick armor and wearing clearly belonging to the Pingyang Inner City Imperial Guards, which naturally represents Wang Ling's identity this time.
When Zhang Shi saw this, he bowed deeply, "The official has met the special envoy!"
Cheng Yun also greeted him, and Huang Hai also greeted him, and he bowed long.
In these days, it is enough for the lower officials to bow to the superior officials. Until later generations become feudal, the more adults they are. Parents, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and making random things.
Wang Ling frowned and did not immediately reply to the favor. Instead, he took two steps forward and greeted Wang Ying: "I have met the Lord."
Wang Ying nodded in a daze, "No gift...This...brother...
Before Wang Ying's words could begin, he was interrupted by Wang Ling. "Judge, please discuss official affairs first and then discuss private affairs."
"Oh..." Wang Ying nodded and blushed a little.
Wang Ling glanced at Wang Ying and sighed slightly in his heart.
I knew it would be like this, so he rushed over...
"June, I have received the special mission of Pingyang Prime Minister to assist you in handling such matters..." Wang Ling bowed to Wang Ying and bowed, "I would like to ask for permission from you."
Wang Ying was stunned for a moment, as if she understood a little, and nodded slowly, "Accurate."
So, he returned to the hall and sat down.
This time, the primary and secondary are separated.
Zhang Xi asked Wang Ying and Wang Ling to sit on the head. Wang Ling just let Wang Ying sit on the top and sit on the side. Zhang Xi and others could only sit on the next head.
Wang Ying looked at it silently, feeling a little touched.
Wang Ling said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang County."
"The lower official is here." Zhang Shi nodded slightly to answer.
Facing Wang Ling's claim to be a subordinate, it is actually not unacceptable for Zhang Xi. Wang Ling was the best among the educational envoys back then, and now there are many rumors that he may be promoted to become a county magistrate in a certain place soon, so he didn't feel so embarrassed to claim to be a subordinate.
But for Wang Ying, this is a little different. At least, just now, Wang Ying did not see the faces of Zhang Shi and others, and there was a serious expression on the faces of Zhang Shi and others.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Please tell me the story of County Magistrate Zhang." Wang Ling ordered.
Zhang Shi nodded, and did not say anything stupid that had been said before. He simply briefly explained the incident again.
After hearing this, Wang Ling confirmed the entire process again, including the specific time, checking who it was, and what Zhang Shi did to deal with after knowing the matter, etc.
Wang Ling asked, Zhang Xu answered.
There is no nonsense, every key point has been determined.
Then Wang Ling turned around and asked Cheng Yun again.
Cheng Yun was even simpler. He directly reported the arrangements, dispatches, and dispatched personnel from all the soldiers who received the alarm from last night to today, and explained the various instruments, arrows, weapons, etc. found in the camp and the woods outside the camp.
Wang Ling also reconfirmed the key points of the matter.
Finally, there is the Yellow Sea.
Huang Hai's face now has no glossy smile that was on his face, and his fat face is tightly collapsed.
"Huang Dagong." Wang Ling nodded, "I have a few questions to confirm."
"Yes, please ask the special envoy." Huang Hai bowed and replied.
"Huang Dagong, are you sure you can't tell the source of these weapons?" Wang Ling asked.
Huang Hai's fat face was slightly sweating, "Uh, this, below is... below is here to say these weapons, arrows, and the marks have been worn off..."
"Yes. The marks were worn out, and everyone could see this, and everyone knew it." Wang Ling nodded, staring at Huang Hai, "I'll confirm whether these weapons with marks were worn out, as a great craftsman, you are sure that there is no way to identify the source? I asked, there is no way...
Huang Hai took a deep breath, was silent for a moment before saying: "This... There is actually a way to do this, it's just a problem. You need to transfer the mold to archive it and compare the arrow material..."
Wang Ling did not chase and attack Huang Hai for what he said before, but now he said there is a way, but said calmly: "Then ask Huang Dagong to work hard, you can compare and determine the source."
Huang Hai nodded and immediately asked someone to go to the workshop to send the relevant molds and the corresponding person in charge.
Wang Ling did not let the scene be silent, but asked about the customs and land related to Beiqu. He was smiling again with Zhang Shi and others, and the atmosphere was not cold at all. He went to Huanghai to call the person back...
Huang Hai also relaxed a little at this time, showing the skills of a great craftsman. He arranged all the collected arrows and other weapons, and asked his subordinates to help them enhance the light. He quickly divided the arrows into two or three different templates, and then pried open the handle of the battle knife and found a hidden symbol in the handle.
This is not over yet. Huang Dagong also asked someone to cut the arrow into two parts on the spot, and he drew some lead for counterweight at the center of the short handle of the arrow, and looked at the bottom of the lead and made some hidden marks...
The people in the hall were dumbfounded.
That's right.
It’s not that there is no way, but that it’s troublesome.
Huang Hai laughed, his fat face was covered with oily sweat, "Ah, fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, I've been found, I've found...
Wang Ling looked at the relevant data delivered by Huang Hai, his eyes moved slightly, and then he smiled and said, "It's time for Huang Dagong."
"It's easy to say, haha, it's easy to say..." Huang Hai smiled, as if he had no idea what he had before, "This one couldn't do" and "that one can't do it", and his face was covered with sweat, which was stained with various dirty marks on his body, and he looked a little honest.
Wang Ling bowed to Zhang Xi and 'Borrowed the pen and ink of the magistrate Zhang County.'
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Zhang Shi turned his head and ordered the servants from the hall to send me pens and ink.
Wang Ling pondered for a moment, then picked up the pen and wrote it. After finishing writing, he handed it to Wang Ying for a look. Of course, Wang Ying had nothing to add. Wang Ling signaled to Zhang Xi and the other two to see it. After the three of them looked at each other, they looked at each other for a few smiles, and they all expressed no objection. So everyone was happy, signed a name together, and sent someone to send him to Pingyang immediately, and Zhang Xi said that he would welcome Wang Ying and Wang Ling without mentioning it.
At night, the lights are on.
The noise has passed, and the rest is silence.
In the back hall, Wang Ling was about to say goodbye.
Wang Ying stopped him, then remained silent for a while, "Brother...I, am I doing a very bad job...?"
Wang Ling frowned slightly, "There is nothing wrong with this or not, this is not writing poetry."
'What is that?' Wang Ying asked.
"Life and Death." Wang Ling replied calmly, "If you can continue, you will live. If you can't do it, you will die. If you don't think about it or have not made up your mind... Then please return to Chang'an. I will deal with it in Taiyuan..."
"No!" Wang Ying raised his head, "I won't go back to Chang'an! Please teach me if you are a brother!"
"I can't teach you." Unexpectedly, Wang Ling shook his head and said, facing Wang Ying's puzzled gaze calmly, "No one taught me either. I am me, a county magistrate, you are you, a lord. You have learned my things, but the county magistrate. If you want to learn, you won't learn from me..."
『That's...』 Wang Ying hesitated for a moment, 『Is it possible...』
Wang Ling lowered his head and said, "I'm going to leave. Please rest as soon as possible."
Wang Ling is gone.
In the back hall, it became silent again.
The bright moon hangs high in the yard, the night wind blows, and the shadows of the trees sway and rustle.
Chapter completed!
