"My lord, we have counted the casualties."
Soon, the cavalry brothers who temporarily took orders from the chief Miao Cai compiled a list of those who were slaughtered last night.
"Except for Ding Laosan and Dunzi who survived the 25th task force, all 51 people were killed."
"A total of thirteen families were killed by bandits in the village, and sixty-eight people died, including three babies."
"These people who were murdered by the gods are really sinful!"
Hearing that so many people were killed and injured in Zhangjiazhuang in just one night, Miao Cai, the principal, turned pale with anger.
"How about Zhang's loss?" Miao Cai asked again.
"The Zhang family said that several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in their house were robbed by bandits. We can't confirm the authenticity of what they said."
A cavalry officer frowned and said: "These bandits are really strange. The Zhang family is the richest in Zhangjiazhuang. They just rob the money. Why do they have to make trouble with these ten poor families and destroy their family?" Door."
"Could it be that these people offended the bandits?" Someone speculated.
Miao Cai also felt a little strange, the bandits were always looking for money, and they only targeted the rich and powerful.
What happened in Zhangjiazhuang last night was a bit strange. Although the wealthiest Zhang family was robbed of some money, the bandits accidentally wiped out more than a dozen households.
"Go ask your neighbors and see if you can find out anything." Miao Cai ordered.
"No!"
Soon, the cavalry visited many people in Zhuangzi separately.
But in the face of these cavalry brothers of the Qinghe Army, the people in Zhuangzi seemed to have something to hide. They didn't know anything when asked, and they were either asleep or didn't know.
"The more than ten households that were wiped out were all assigned to the fields from our work team."
Ding Laosan, a survivor of the 25th task force, also recovered from the shock, and reported what he knew.
"Could it be that these bandits were invited by the Zhang family?" Miao Cai guessed suddenly with a flash of inspiration.
"My lord, the Zhang family was also robbed of their property, I don't think it's possible?"
Miaocai felt that this matter was not that simple. He vaguely felt that this was for their land distribution.
Otherwise, why did the more than ten households who were wiped out all receive land from their Qinghe army?
Miao Cai is just a head of Huke. Although he has some doubts and guesses, he is not a professional after all.
"Immediately send someone to report the situation here to Mr. Qin, and ask him to send someone from the Criminal Division to investigate. I suspect that there is something hidden in the tragedy last night."
Miao Cai didn't know how to investigate cases, so he could only send someone to report the situation to his superior, Qin An, and asked to send someone from the Criminal Division to assist.
The cavalry rushed to report the situation in Zhangjiazhuang to Qin An, the Chief of Government Affairs who was in charge of the Government Affairs Office.
While Qin An, chief of government affairs, was furious, he was also very troubled, although the Criminal Division was one of the constituent agencies of their government affairs government.
But now their government has just been established, and the Criminal Division now has only one head and a few low-level officials.
Fortunately, Qin An quickly thought of a department that was more professional than the Criminal Division of their government, and that was the Intelligence Investigation Department under the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army.
The Department of Intelligence and Investigation is considered to be at the same level as the Secretary of Government Affairs, but compared to the Secretary of Government Affairs who shows his face outside, the Department of Intelligence and Investigation is low-key and terrifying.
After the Qinghe Army settled in Yunxi Mansion, each department found its own station. The Command Headquarters and Government Affairs Office were the most luxurious, followed by the Military Supplies Department, Staff Department, and Military Judiciary Department.
The Intelligence and Investigation Department did not choose a wealthy mansion as their office location, but chose a farmyard in the west of the city.
When Qin An, the head of government affairs, came to the door in person and wanted to ask the intelligence and investigation department for help, his jaw almost dropped in shock.
Because the door of the Intelligence and Investigation Division was too crude, there was a wooden sign hanging at the gate of the farmyard, and two soldiers from the Investigation Division stood there.
Those who don't know think it is the residence of some adult. No one would have guessed that this is the Intelligence and Investigation Department, one of the five major departments of the Qinghe Army.
? Qin An, the Chief Secretary for Administrative Affairs and the Chief of the Government Affairs Office of Yunxi Prefecture personally visited the door, and the soldiers on guard did not dare to neglect, and immediately went in to report.
"I'll just say a big?I heard a magpie cry. It turned out that Master Qin came to our intelligence investigation department. He was far away from welcoming him, and asked Master Qin to make amends. "
Chu Yue, the director of the intelligence and investigation department, was dressed in black and wore a black battle robe. Although she laughed at Yan Yan, she gave off a cold and inaccessible feeling.
"Director Chu was joking. I am going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I am asking for help." Qin An said with a smile and cupped his hands.
There are many private rumors about this Director Chu Yue of the Intelligence Investigation Department, most of which are speculations about her relationship with Chen Ziang.
Qin An has also heard about these rumors, but he also knows that this is Chen Ziang's family affair, and a backward person like him dare not speak rashly.
When Chu Yue heard that Qin An had come to ask for help, her beautiful eyes rolled, and she said with a smile: "Let me guess, isn't it something about Zhangjiazhuang in the northern suburbs?"
"Director Chu really knows things like a god."
When Qin An heard that the other party had guessed his intentions in a single sip, his heart was aroused. He was praising the other party, but he was a little more jealous of Chu Yue in his heart.
In fact, from the moment Dunzi went to the government office to ask for help early in the morning, there was a hidden stake in the intelligence and investigation department who reported the situation to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue, the director of the intelligence and investigation department, did not give any special instructions, but ordered the secret pile to continue to follow up and watch the progress.
"Zhangjiazhuang was attacked by bandits last night. There were many casualties, and those who were exterminated were all people who received land from our Qinghe army. I think this is strange. Our criminal department has just been established and we can't investigate the case yet, so please ask Chu Si The boss can send someone to help us investigate."
Since Chu Yue guessed it, Qin An didn't hide anything, and directly explained his intention of coming.
"This matter is a bit difficult."
But to Qin An's surprise, Chu Yue did not agree, but showed embarrassment.
"Director Chu, help us once, even if I owe you a favor?" Qin An said.
"You and I belong to the Qinghe Army, and we should unite and help each other. However, without the general's consent, my intelligence and investigation department dare not overstep."
The original intention of the Intelligence Investigation Department was to detect the enemy's situation. Now the army and many departments have installed hidden stakes. Although the purpose is to prevent the infiltration of enemy intelligence personnel, it has already caused dissatisfaction among many people.
Now if their intelligence and investigation department sends someone to investigate Zhangzhuang's case, it is tantamount to inserting their hand into the government affairs government. It is a taboo thing, and Chu Yue is still clear about this.
So Chu Yue didn't dare to agree to Qin An rashly, because without Chen Zi'ang's approval, doing so would cut off the future of the Intelligence Investigation Department.
"Okay then, I'll go and ask the general for instructions."
As the head of the government affairs government, Qin An understood what Chu Yue said, and it was too Meng Lang for him to come to the Intelligence Investigation Department hastily. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
