"Mr. Yao, please take a seat, Mr. has worked hard along the way!" Although Shen Beiguan was a commander, he was extremely polite after seeing Yao Dong.

Yao Dong hugged his fist at him and said, "The general is polite." While speaking, Yao Dong also glanced at Zhang Manying, the other two unfamiliar people.

"Mr. Yao's name, Shen has already heard of it in the thief city, and Mr. handed over the note before, and he was really thoughtful, so he thought of inviting Mr. to come over and discuss things together. Shen Beiguan directly explained the reason for inviting Yao Dong over.

"General Shen has anything, just give orders!" Yao Dong still said politely.

Seeing this, Shen Beiguan was very satisfied, and introduced to the other two with a smile: "Mr. Yao, let me introduce first, this is my deputy and one of the current deputy commanders Huang Yu, Huang Yu also serves as the battalion commander of one of the large battalions, this is also the deputy commander and also the battalion commander He Ren, as for the other battalion, there is me as the battalion commander, it can be said that the current army is controlled by a few of us!"

After hearing this, Yao Dong also understood that while the other party was introducing, he also told himself that now all the people present are powerful figures in the army, and everything can be decided, which also shows that he must be sincere.

Yao Dong also immediately saluted the two of them with fists, and the two of them immediately returned the salute, perhaps there was still some doubt in their eyes, but it seemed that they had been told by Shen Beiguan before, and the etiquette on the surface was still not bad.

"Just now the county order of Jiachuan County brought some of the latest information, this group of horse bandits more than a month ago, ransacked the two mountain cities in Jiachuan County, although they did not break into the city, but the newly harvested Huayuan rice outside the city was looted, some farms were looted, heavy losses, and now they are hiding in the Jiating Mountain, plus the snow here for several days, I am afraid it is not easy to do. Shen Beiguan spread out a map and pointed in detail.

Yao Dong understood when he heard it, it seemed that the bandits really encountered tricky trouble this time, so they found themselves, and listening to his narration, this group of bandits obviously had no fixed residence, Jiating Mountain was just one of their nests, and they hid there because of the sudden snow, once the weather was good, maybe there would be no shadow again, and it was not so easy to enter the mountain in such weather.

"Are the generals really thinking about how to use their troops?" asked Yao Dong.

"In terms of strength, this group of bandits doesn't even have a single Divine Mystery Realm, so it's not a matter of concern, but the problem is that even if a few of us can break through the other party's lair, but we can kill a few, the people who escaped will wait for us to leave and gather again to make trouble, which will be useless. Shen Beiguan said.

"We have always been peaceful here, we haven't heard of such big bandits for many years, I don't know if the generals can ask, why there is such a group of horse bandits?" Yao Dong asked.

"We don't know this, the land of the three counties should be said to be quite peaceful, since the disaster of the blood locusts many years ago, it has been peaceful, when the blood locusts were plagued, there were no such bandits, I don't know how it suddenly happened, to say that it is the junction of the thief city and other cities, and it may come from abroad, but the three counties are still very far away from the edge of the thief city, obviously this bandit can only be produced locally. Zhang Manying voiced his suspicions.

"Mr. Yao's meaning is to ask for the reason from the root, if you want to find it, I'm afraid it will take a long time, and it will be not good for us to suppress the bandits!" Huang Yu frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with Yao Dong's repeated inquiries, in his opinion, as long as the bandits were exterminated, other things had nothing to do with him.

Yao Dong didn't care about this, and said bluntly: "Actually, to deal with this matter, start from two aspects, the first is naturally to clarify the root cause of the emergence of this horse bandit, and the second is to exterminate the other party, no matter what the root cause is, they burn and loot everywhere, even if they are forced, they are already unforgivable." ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Yao, are you going to find the root cause?" Shen Beiguan guessed.

"Yes, when I am too weak alone, I need your help!" Yao Dong said.

"Mr. Yao is a person from the arrest department, and investigating cases is your specialty, so this matter is not excessive, but this is a matter of banditry?" Shen Beiguan was obviously also quite concerned about this matter.

"It's a good idea to do both, but I'm not very familiar with the situation here. Yao Dong was still a little hesitant, and he didn't say anything.

"This is simple, all the military information here, Mr. Yao can see it, of course, it is only limited to here, and cannot be taken away!" Shen Beiguan said.

"Then the subordinates are welcome!" Yao Dong didn't care about the others, and went directly to the so-called information to read it.

The matter of flipping through the information is not over in a while, and when Huang Yu sees this, he can only say goodbye first and go back to his barracks.

A few days later, several people gathered once, and Yao Dong gave some suggestions for marching, because they only relied on these materials to set, so they only gave some directions, and they still needed to command on the spot.

Fortunately, Shen Beiguan is not a wine bag and rice bag, so he has some directions and ideas, which can also make him feel a little low, and the other two deputy commanders listened to it, but they didn't dare to despise Yao Dong too much.

After some deliberation, the army set off into Jiating Mountain after a short rest here, and Zhang Manying, one of the deputy commanders, was nominally left behind to preside over the rear, but in fact Yao Dong was the core to investigate the real cause of the banditry.

In fact, just two days later, the army marched out, and only two or three hundred men remained, remaining in the so-called rear, and these people also lived in a military camp that originally belonged to Jiachuan County.

The people who stayed behind were mainly responsible for some logistics and grass matters, and these things happened to be done by a few staff officers who were with Yao Dong before, and Yao Dong and Zhang Manying discussed the case with the people who originally came out of the arrest department.

According to the information and clues obtained today, the first place where this group of bandits appeared was Jiating Mountain in Jiachuan County, and there are usually some clues in the earliest place where they appear.

So after thinking about it for a few days, Yao Dong left with Zhang Manying, and the only people who took him away were the people from the arrest department.

Just when the army was on the march, Lin Haoming, who was far away in the thief city, happened to meet the day of the execution of the condemned prisoner.

Celestial prisoners, after being convicted of a capital crime, can only be executed after being confirmed by the upper government, and it is generally set on a specific day, and several or even more than a dozen criminals will travel together.

At this time, at the well-known punishment mouth of the thief city, more than a dozen death row prisoners really knelt on the ground, waiting for time to grow old bit by bit.

The punishment port is actually one of the main roads of the thief city, a crossroads leading to Fang City, the thief city used this place as a place of execution a long time ago, and it also had the name of the punishment mouth, and at this time, Lin Haoming was under the shed built on one side, also waiting for the time to come.
