Chapter 37 Astrology and divination to find the enemy
Tick tick tick, iron hooves trampled on the bluestone, pulling a cart of food towards this
On the third day after the major incident, the Jinlin Town Government recalled most of the people who had stayed at the Sifang Guard Station. They also sent additional manpower to continue investigating the urban and mountainous areas. When the news of the first kidnapping case came back to Jinlin Town,
At that time, checkpoints were set up at various entrances and exits in Jinlin, Zhili. All incoming and outgoing vehicles, horses, and strangers were intercepted. Anyone leaving Jinlin must show the road guide in their hand and undergo investigation.
The homing pigeons fly back and forth, maintaining real-time contact with Jinlin, and every two hours they send the latest news about the people who are away from the scene back to the Jinlin Town Office. The birds in the sky are unrestrained, and they are definitely better than the rickshaws on the ground.
Ma, even if those kidnappers kidnapped people and ran away, they couldn't be faster than the homing pigeons flying in the sky. But after the first closure until the third day, there were no abnormalities in the various checkpoints. From this, it can be seen that these kidnappers are definitely
Still staying within the jurisdiction of Golden Scale City.
At the same time, the Golden Scale Soldiers and Horses Division also began to search from the outer periphery of the map inwards from the farthest distance of the predicted route, constantly moving closer to Golden Scale City, narrowing the search scope. But despite this, Wei Wuxian and the others did not receive a valuable message.
information.
Being in the system, they naturally believed in Jin Yiwei's intelligence capabilities, but it was already the third day, and the mighty Imperial Blade still failed to grasp any clues about the kidnappers. This also made Wei Wuxian and the others?
While waiting for news in the Zhenfusi Yamen, Wei Wuxian also began to look through the entire Zhenfusi files.
Hunting wolves and chasing deer, suppressed many famous sects in the world, and also forced some so-called martial arts families to melt their swords and forge plows, and return to their fields to escape the world. It has been ten years since the empire suppressed and reorganized the huge world.
I have just recovered a little bit of my energy, and now it is slowly starting to get lively again.
The hunting wolf hunts ferocious wolves, those mountain bandits who claim to be heroes but are just killing people and stealing goods; chasing the deer hunts down the famous families who have been entrenched in various places for a long time and have surpassed the imperial court to cover the sky with one hand. Of course, Emperor Dawu did not intend to attack
Martial arts is about killing everyone, but it is about a new dynasty and a new policy, establishing the authority of the empire and demonstrating the rule of law in the world.
The external rhetoric is naturally this way, but many of its secrets have long been covered up by the years and few people know about it.
Both Wei Wuxian and Wen Bisheng had experienced the massive Wolf Hunting Operation ten years ago, and had killed many criminal gangsters with high martial arts skills. Some of them were killed on the spot by them, with thousands of arrows piercing their hearts, and some
Some were rounded up with all their strength, thrown into prison, and their heads displayed to the public, but some escaped with serious injuries, and finally disappeared in the world.
Wei Wuxian was worried about this. Along the way, those ruthless bandits died because of his merits, while those who lived were sworn enemies. However, after looking through the files and his own memories, he still couldn't think of anything.
Which mortal enemy is it?
"Is it Yu Wen Enemy? No, these old guys, even if they are not dead, they should be almost old. If they are still alive, they are more than one hundred and thirty years old. It shouldn't be... Or, let's say,
Is it the work of a noble family? But there doesn’t seem to be any martial arts family in Jinlinmao, let alone a feud..." Wei Wuxian searched to no avail, and turned his attention to those pieces of paper again.
At the scene of the crime, the articles were all nailed to the wall with a flying knife, very conspicuous, for fear that others would not notice. Although the words on them are obviously not in the same handwriting, the content is the same. So what about this gang?
The man's skills should be good. He separated his hands to commit crimes in such a short period of time, and his techniques were clean and neat. After he was done, he disappeared out of thin air and hid in the darkness. Jin Yiwei still hasn't mastered anything valuable.
Information, it can only be said that this large group of people is organized and must have been premeditated for a long time.
If they kidnapped someone and hid nearby, they should have been found long ago. Jinyiwei was very knowledgeable about the area around the crime scene. But if they were kidnapped and then gathered together, it stands to reason that so many people would
Such a large-scale operation would leave some clues, but...
Several hundred households were debating and speculating fiercely, flipping through the files and integrating the scattered information collected at the same time.
Compared with yesterday, when he was too anxious to eat or swallow water, Wei Wuxian today was so calm that it was terrifying. It was as if his most cherished wife and daughter had not been kidnapped by gangsters who were probably enemies, and
He was not in danger. He sat on a wooden chair and listened quietly to the arguments and speculations of his subordinates without saying a word. His eyes were dim and colorless, and he only nodded occasionally, but the tea had been changed.
A few pots.
This seemingly unrelated situation did not make subordinates find it strange.
Youdao is a matter of life and death, and the strength of one's integrity is passed down from generation to generation.
The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies for the country. The values established by Dawu since the founding of the country are one thing: take life and death lightly, and do it if you don't accept it!
Aren’t you coveting my misty Jiangnan and thousands of miles of fertile land? Aren’t you treating my people as lowly people and trying to take over the Central Plains? Aren’t you plundering the northern border and using my border people as granaries? Well, then, in the history of Qing Dynasty,
I, Dawu, and you, can only leave one name for the tribes in the Northern Desert. No matter what, the descendants of this land after thousands of years will only recognize one orthodoxy.
Dawu and Beimo, only one can survive!
With a wave of his hand, Emperor Wuzong moved the imperial city to the north and personally took command of the rear area of Yanyun Sixteenth Pass. He had only one purpose: either you die or I die!
I, Dawu, want to confront you in the Northern Desert! You can break through my border, enter my imperial city, and destroy my king's blood. Even if the dynasty changes, my people in Daxia will definitely regain their banner from now on, expedition north to drive away the enemy, and restore our rivers and mountains.
In short, I, Dawu, just want to fight you to the death!
The last thing Emperor Wu Zong did before his death was to call the historian in front of him and ask him to write and declare to the world: I, the descendants of Great Xia, should regard Donghuang City as the hub of heaven on earth for thousands of years.
For hundreds of generations, in the dark nights and daylights, we should walk toward the light. Even if there are natural and man-made disasters, and powerful enemies invade, we should not forget the reunification of our family and country, and the restoration of our rivers and mountains. We must remember that we would rather die standing than live on our knees! If you want to destroy your family and country, and destroy your nation,
The last drop of blood of Daxia men must be shed first!
Since then, this sentence has been spread all over the north and south of Dawu, engraved on stone tablets, and written in books. Whenever children learn to read and read, the first thing they learn will definitely be this sentence. Scholars and warriors also use this to encourage themselves.
.This short sentence has been passed down from generation to generation and has influenced the Daxia nation that has made its voice in this land since childhood.
The strength that was lost due to the weakness of the previous dynasty and three hundred years of chaos has now been regained. Today's great warriors are notoriously tough-minded and will not bow their heads easily.
Several small neighboring countries wanted to encroach on the land during the change of dynasties in the Central Plains. Those who wanted to be disobedient were also hammered by Dawu after the founding of the country. For several years, there were more women and fewer men in their country. There was no greed anymore, and they had been there for decades.
There was no relief.
Of course, this is not only manifested externally, but also internally. There have been countless kidnapping cases like this in the nearly 100 years since the founding of Dawu. However, it can be said that it is very rare for the court to bow to the gangsters.
So even if they knew clearly that these gangsters were kidnapping the head of a province, the Jinlin Jinyi Guards' immediate boss Zuo Qianhu and the family members of various city officials, the Jinlin Yiwei and the Soldiers and Horses Division also conducted a large-scale search, clearly telling the gangsters
, I'm just looking for you.
Everyone knows that Wei Wuxian loves his wife, but he is not only a husband, but also Zuo Qianhu of Jin Yiwei and an official of the imperial court. Therefore, even if the lives of his wife and daughter are in the hands of the other party, Ye must not simply give in.
The subordinates were not particularly surprised by Wei Wuxian's reaction today. They were still sorting out information that seemed to be eyewitnesses and making speculations and arguments.
"These thieves, who disappeared so quickly, must have hidden themselves in people's homes to deceive others! We should intensify our search efforts in the city!"
"Impossible! With so many people hidden in people's homes, it will be easy to be exposed. Whenever we knock on the door and enter the house, we always observe people's behavior and ask again and again. Brothers who inspect the house will pay attention to whether the fireworks stove is related to the person in the house who is under investigation.
It matches, but nothing has been found until now. These thieves must be hiding in the mountains! The mountains are vast and easy to hide, so we should search the mountains!"
"How is that possible! The designated area is only a few mountains and I have looked at them several times! It's not like I haven't found anything yet."
"…………"
A word from you or a word from me will make two hundred households quarrel with each other with red faces.
"Could it be that they escaped by boat?!"
A man next to him interjected in a low voice.
"impossible!!!"
“Total nonsense!!”
The two people who had been arguing fiercely just now said in unison when they heard this, and turned around to deny it directly.
"A quarter of an hour after we found out about this case, we already asked the navy to block the upstream and downstream. No ship is allowed to leave the river under Jinling's jurisdiction!"
When the interfering Baihu heard this, he gave up his suspicions and asked in a low voice, "This, the matter is over, two days have passed! There is no news about those thieves, and we have no clue."
…”
He paused, swallowed, and continued, "Since the search is fruitless, the enemy is hiding, and the initiative does not lie with us, should we give it some thought to the second option? First, give priority to ensuring
Is the safety of the kidnapped Madam Bai and other hostages?”
At this point, the two Baihu who had just argued fiercely were speechless. Everyone looked at each other, and then all turned their attention to Wei Wuxian, waiting for him to make a decision. This chapter has been completed!
