Chapter 148: Suppressing Bandits
Wei Tianqing laughed and said, "Yes, Guanzhong Ma is not worth mentioning." He added: "The horse I got last time was a Liaodong horse from Liaodong Province, hehe, this makes the clues easier to figure out." Our Xishan Road is the closest to Kansai, and most of the inflows are northwest horses in the Kansai region, and this Liaodong horse will not be too big here, and Shenyiwei quickly figured out that this horse came from a horse dealer surnamed Hu. ”
Chu Huan frowned and said: "It's a horse dealer, if you want to buy horses from Liaodong to sell, you should also register them...... Even if he doesn't want to register, but there will always be checks at the checkpoints along the way? ”
Wei Tianqing sighed: "This horse dealer surnamed Hu is not an ordinary horse dealer, he has people in the court, and he does a lot of business. Horse dealers and horses must be reported to the stable, and every time a horse is sold, a certain tax must be paid. Most horse dealers naturally dare not conceal and not report it, but this man surnamed Hu relies on someone in the court, but he hides the number and origin of a batch of horses every year...... He had trade with Liaodong, and the price of the Liaodong horses he purchased was cheap, but in our Guanzhong land, the price of Liaodong horses was very high, one in and one out, the profits were huge, and he concealed the horse tax and earned a lot of money from it. He has the horse card wholesale of the household department of the capital, with this horse card in hand, it is convenient to act, relying on the silver and the power behind it, has opened up a horse road from Liaodong to Guanzhong, and smuggled hundreds of Liaodong horses from Liaodong every year, making a fortune, although many people know about this, but they are all turning a blind eye. ”
Chu Huan's face became solemn.
After the founding of the Great Qin, many bans were issued, and the control of knives and horses was very strict, because they were worried that someone would plot against them and intend to secretly plot rebellion.
At the beginning, the princes of the Central Plains were numerous, known as the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Central Plains, when today's Zi conquered the south and the north, and ruled the world, but the remnants of the countries may not all be wiped out.
However, in the past two years, many bans have begun to appear, not to mention others, this horse dealer surnamed Hu alone has hundreds of private horses secretly circulating every year, but the government does not know the whereabouts of the horses, so it is a hidden disaster.
Those who have the heart to buy a large number of horses privately will certainly not be ordinary people who rest at sunrise and sunset, but those with other intentions.
The horse dealer surnamed Hu alone has so many undercurrents of private horses, so the entire Great Qin Kingdom secretly does not know how many horse dealers are doing this secret and illegal transaction.
Wei Tianqing saw Chu Huan's thoughts and sighed, "It's not something we can worry about anymore. After a pause, he smiled again: "But this time the prospect of the surnamed Hu is not good, and the local officials dare not check on him, but Shenyiwei is not afraid." The god clothes guard found his body and interrogated him secretly, but he also asked some information. The surnamed Hu confessed that this horse was sold together, a total of sixty, but this kind of private transaction, he could not ask the buyer's name and surname, fortunately, the surnamed Hu saw that they bought sixty horses at a time, but he also paid attention, and secretly inquired, that batch of Liaodong horses flowed into the territory of Tongzhou. ”
"Tongzhou?"
Tongzhou is also in the territory of Xishan Road, in the northern area of Xishan Road, there is really a way from Yunshan Mansion, and Tongzhou is among the states of Xishan Road, belongs to the poorest state, and the geographical conditions are extremely poor, speaking of which, Tongzhou is also a state with many bandits in Xishan Road, in the disaster year, Tongzhou has commotion from time to time, bandits are more prosperous, and the government has also encircled and suppressed many times, but it has been the heart of the Xishan Road government to suppress a batch after a batch, which has always been the heart of the Xishan Road government.
Wei Tianqing nodded, and said in a low voice: "Shenyi Wei got a confession, secretly went to Tongzhou, and with the help of the local government, secretly investigated, and just a few days ago, finally found out the flow of those Liaodong horses. ”
"Oh?"
"There is a Heishui River in Tongzhou, but there is a mountain along the river, which is called Heishui Mountain, and Shenyiwei investigated it, near Heishui Mountain, someone has seen dozens of Liaodong horses at the same time." Wei Tianqing clenched his fists and said: "Later, I inquired carefully, there was a group of bandits entrenched in that Heishui Mountain, there were not a few, and I didn't know what the origin ......!" ”
Chu Huan frowned and said, "Brother Wei, there are Liaodong horses in Heishui Mountain, and they may not be those Jiang bandits. He asked, "Can those people rob homes?" Can the people in the neighborhood suffer? But don't just a group of people living in the mountains, but they didn't violate the king's law, and they were treated as bandits. ”
Wei Tianqing shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this. He lowered his voice and said: "But when Shenyiwei investigated this matter, I had already asked the painter to draw a rough picture of the female bandit leader's body and appearance, and Sun Baihu of Shenyiwei took the portrait and took people to visit near Heishui Mountain. ”
Chu Huan said: "With such an investigation, aren't you afraid of leaking the news?" That group of bandits entrenched in the area of Heishui Mountain, it is bound to set up ears and eyes near Heishui Mountain, Shenyi Wei took the portrait to check the clues, if it was known by the people of Heishui Mountain, wouldn't it startle the snake? ”
Wei Tianqing shook his head and smiled: "You don't have to worry, if it is an errand for other yamen, you have to worry about one or two, the people of the Shenyi Guard...... Don't doubt their abilities! ”
Chu Huan groaned slightly, and then asked, "Can you find out the details of the female bandit leader?" Where did they come from? ”
"In order not to startle the snake, Sun Baihu has not been too close, so he has not found out their true details." Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "But it won't take a few days, and we will be clear about their details." ”
Chu Huanqi said: "Why? ”
Wei Tianqing looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around, then leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Just last night, the Governor has secretly mobilized two thousand Praetorian Guards to go to Tongzhou!" ”
"Huh?" Chu Huan was stunned.
Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "Looking for Brother Chu today, I want to tell you that at dusk, we will set off, hurry up and catch up!" ”
Chu Huan said: "What does Brother Wei mean?" ”
"Yes, you and I will go together to encircle and suppress those bandits." Wei Tianqing clenched his fists and said: "This time two thousand Praetorian Guards are mobilized, those bandits are the most fierce, and they will definitely be wiped out!" Hehe smiled: "It's been a long time since I've moved my hands and feet like this, and the Praetorian Guards should also practice well to fight for the Governor." This time to encircle and suppress the bandits, the Governor appointed you to go with you...... Brother Chu, you have entered my Praetorian Guard, and the brothers of the Praetorian Guard have already known the news, but they are still skeptical about your ability, there is such a good opportunity, you must show your skills well, don't let the Governor down! ”
Chu Huan groaned slightly, and then said: "The order of the Governor, Chu Huan naturally obeys. After a pause, he asked, "It's just that the Praetorian Guards were transferred, and they left yesterday, why did Brother Wei only leave today?" ”
"Cover people's eyes." Wei Tianqing said: "This secret operation can't let those bandits get a trace of information. When I appear in the city today, no one will think that the Praetorian Guard has been dispatched. ”
Chu Huan said: "Two thousand Praetorian Guards, that's a huge army, I don't want people to know it...... I'm afraid it's very difficult! ”
Wei Tianqing said with a smile: "It has been planned in advance, except for a very small number of senior generals, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard think that they are going to Cangzhou, and Tongzhou is the only way to go to Cangzhou....... ”
"I see!" Chu Huan understood that even the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard could hide it, and naturally he could hide it from outsiders.
"Brother Chu, after eating, you go back and clean up, at dusk, you go directly to the ten-mile official road outside the North City Gate to wait for me, and we will catch up together!"
"Good!" Chu Huan nodded, thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wei, this group of bandits is far away in Tongzhou Heishui Mountain, why did they go to Jingjiang to kidnap the governor's wife?" What are they not for? It stands to reason that these people don't have a grudge against the Governor! ”
Wei Tianqing said: "Actually, I have always wondered about this matter. After a pause, he frowned and said, "But some time ago, something happened in the yamen, and I don't know if it has something to do with that group of people!" ”
"Oh?" Chu Huan didn't ask directly, but his face showed doubt.
After all, this is a matter in the yamen, and Chu Huan doesn't know if Wei Tianqing can say it, if he can't say it, he will take the initiative to ask, but it will not be good, so he will not ask directly.
Wei Tianqing trusted Chu Huan very much, and said softly: "Before Mrs. was robbed, there were several consecutive attempts to rob the prison in the Yunshan Mansion prison, but fortunately, the prison was heavily guarded, and those thieves failed to succeed...... I wanted to catch them alive, but these people were really outlaws, and they were either killed or committed suicide before they were captured, and after a few times, they killed more than a dozen people...... Now that Yunshan Prison has strengthened its defense, those people have never appeared again, I don't know if the bandits in Heishui Village are involved in this gang of thieves who robbed the prison! ”
Chu Huan was stunned, and his first reaction was that these groups of people must be implicated.
"Brother Wei, I understand." Chu Huan said softly: "Those Jiang bandits kidnapped Mrs., I'm afraid they want to replace Mrs. with Mrs...... Nine times out of ten, there are companions in the prison! ”
"Companion?" Wei Tianqing frowned and said, "If these groups of people are really implicated, then Brother Chu's guess is very reasonable. It's just that it's impossible to know for sure whether they're a group or not, and it's ...... Moreover, there are no less than 200 prisoners in Yunshan Prison, most of whom are rebellious parties who have been caught in recent years, and many of them do not say a word no matter how they are interrogated, and their identities cannot be determined...... I really don't know who those bandits are trying to save......! Wei Yi groaned, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, poured the wine, and said with a smile: "No matter what, win the battle, catch the gang of rebels, everything is clear...... Come, Brother Chu, let's have a drink first, may we make a move this time, and we will be able to catch it! ”
Chu Huan picked up the wine glass, and both of them drank it all.
