The messy county government office was finally cleaned up after the government officials returned, and the body was carried down for the widow to dispose of.
In the lobby, Su Cheng also asked the government officials to help the family members down.
"Master Su, you must avenge your dead brothers!"
He Batou, who has reached middle age, has an angry face and tears in his eyes.
Thinking of the friends who had dinner and drinks together last night, but today they are separated forever, he was inevitably sad.
The other government officials were also filled with indignation at this moment: "Yes, sir, we must catch these bandits!"
"This group of people is so vicious. Not only did they steal money, but they also killed people!"
"Master Su, tell me what we should do next!"
Although they know that the other party is cruel, as government officials, they have a duty to catch the robbers.
In addition, the killing of their companions aroused their inner anger, and they were bound to kill all these people!
Even Shen Youwei had an angry face at this moment: "Ms. sir, those guys are so abominable, I must help with this matter!"
There is a master among those bandits. If he doesn't take action, it will be difficult for the county government and other people to capture him with their strength.
My husband does not know martial arts, so I must protect him at all times.
This matter is so big that Shen Youwei doesn't dare to be careless.
Although Su Cheng was also angry, he understood that it was useless to be angry anymore. The most important thing to do at this moment was to find a way to find the whereabouts of the bandits.
"Everyone, I understand how you feel. I feel the same as you. I also want to catch these people!"
Su Cheng had a sullen face and tried to keep calm, but his hands were tightly clenched.
His eyes were like an eagle, exuding a terrifying light at this moment, making people dare not look directly.
"Master Su, why don't you let me lead the men to chase you?" He Batou volunteered.
But Su Cheng shook his head: "No, judging from the opponent's actions this time, the opponent has at least ten or twenty people, and there is also a third-rate expert. We are no match for the government officials alone."
"I must ask Liu Changfeng to take action on this matter!"
"Let's do this. I will immediately write to the prefect to report the matter, and ask the prefect to notify Liu Changfeng to assist me in investigating the case. In this way, Liu Changfeng will not be in trouble."
"Of course, in order to save time, we need to send someone now to inform Liu Changfeng to send someone over!"
After explaining his plan, Su Cheng immediately wrote a letter and asked a government official to ride his horse to Jiangzhou.
At the same time, Su Cheng also sent a government official to tell Liu Changfeng his plan and asked Liu Changfeng to send someone to help.
After all, Liu Changfeng was a military attache in the army. Although Su Cheng could rely on their personal relationship to get the other party to take action, this undoubtedly broke the rules.
If he really needs to be investigated afterwards, both of them are responsible. He can't implicate others for his own gain.
With his official position as a county magistrate, it is impossible to mobilize a thousand generals!
We can only inform the Jiangzhou magistrate and ask Liu Changfeng to send someone over.
Of course, Su Cheng was not idle during this period and asked the government officials to immediately go to the city to search for the whereabouts of the bandits.
No matter whether the other party is leaving the city or hiding in the city, they must first search the city.
Shen Youwei was worried that the other party had not left, so she took the initiative to take someone with her to search for him.
About two hours later, Liu Changfeng personally led two hundred people to the county government office.
"Mr. Liu Qian!"
"Master Hou!"
The two of them saluted each other, and Liu Changfeng said solemnly: "I never expected that something like this would happen. I wonder what Mr. Su is going to do next?"
Now that Su Cheng had informed the Jiangzhou prefect, Liu Changfeng had no scruples and even brought two hundred manpower with him, which was enough to deal with the matter!
Su Changcheng sighed: "The methods of the bandits are very cruel. You can tell at a glance that they are repeat offenders. In addition to asking the government officials to investigate their whereabouts in the city, I also asked Captain He to sort out the information on nearby bandits. Calculating the time, I should be back soon."
Just as the two were talking, He Captou and Shen Youwei came at the same time.
"You guys came back just in time. Madam, please tell me about the situation first." Su Cheng looked at his madam and said as he picked up the teacup on the side and handed it over.
Shen Youwei didn't waste any time, took the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped the corner of her mouth and said:
"Ms. sir, the city is so big. I have searched it all with my people, but no trace of the bandits has been found!"
"However, I found a commoner who said he saw the other party driving several carriages out of the city and heading south of the city."
With so many bandits driving away in carriages from the city, it would be impossible to do it perfectly. There would always be witnesses.
"Towards the south of the city?"
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes and turned to look at He Captou: "How are you investigating the information on the nearby bandits? Let's first talk about which bandits are in the south of the city!"
Now that we know the direction in which the other party is leaving, we naturally give priority to investigating the robber over there.
It is impossible for ordinary people to attack so viciously, nor to do it so neatly. The only possibility is that the other party is a robber who has robbed homes and has a long history of criminal records!
Therefore, the bandits near Liuhe County are his priority targets for investigation!
Liu Changfeng, who was watching this scene, nodded slightly with admiration in his heart.
If it were another county magistrate, it would be impossible for him to be as calm as Su Cheng.
Originally, they had lost the whereabouts of the bandits and it was difficult to track them down. But after Su Cheng analyzed it like this, it suddenly became much easier.
At this moment, Capt. He quickly replied: "Master Su, there are three groups of bandits in the south of the city!"
"These three groups are all entrenched in Qingfeng Mountain outside the south of the city. The leader of the most powerful group is called Kuang Sandao. It is said that this person's sword skills are very powerful, and he has secured the top spot among the bandits."
"Although the other two groups of bandits also have some people, they are not as powerful as the Kuangsan Swordsman."
"Moreover, this person behaves arrogantly, robbing homes, killing people and stealing goods. It's just that this person has superb martial arts skills and is easy to hide deep in the mountains, so we couldn't do anything with him before."
As soon as these words came out, Su Cheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Are you very good at swordsmanship?"
"Those of our dead brothers were all hacked to death. I don't know if the two are related."
"No matter what, let's investigate this Kuangsan Dao first!"
After thinking for a while, Su Cheng continued: "In order not to alert the enemy, I first sent the government officials to the nearby villages to see if anyone drove a carriage into the woods."
"Yes, I'll go down and make arrangements now!" Captain He responded and immediately went down to arrange for manpower to investigate.
Su Cheng looked at Liu Changfeng: "I have to trouble Mr. Liu Qian to wait for a while. Once there is news over there and it is confirmed that a carriage has passed by, then this matter is inseparable from Kuangsan Dao!"
Liu Changfeng nodded with admiration: "I really didn't expect Master Su to identify the suspect so quickly!"
"I'm curious, how did Mr. Su determine that the bandits were those around Liuhe County?"
