Chapter 29, Nephew's Travel
"So, should the black arrow bandit be a barbarian?" Chunyupei asked in surprise.
Earlier, they had speculated about the possibility of the Hu people. Lu Longse was close in front of him, and the Hu people dared to commit crimes near the Han army's garrison, which was really too bold.
"In the last battle against the Qiang people in Shanggu County, I fought with the army, but I fought with the black arrow bandit on the battlefield. At that time, the Qiang people's defeat was settled. The black arrow bandit seemed to lose to death and mistakenly thought that I was Yin Sima, so he rushed to me desperately and shot an arrow when he rushed within a hundred steps. That arrow was really fierce, but fortunately it was still passed by me. After that, I bent my bow and shot back and shot an arrow, but I don't know whether it hit or not. In short, the Qiang people soon passed away, and the black arrow bandit either died in the army or fled. Zu Ju said in the tone of reminiscence.
After saying this, his face was still extremely serious, and the battle in those years was vivid, and the danger at that time left an indelible memory in his heart.
Zu Zhao has never heard his grandfather talk about some of his war years. When Zhang Huan was appointed as the general of Duliao, there was no big battle between the Han Dynasty and the Hu people. The only battle that caused the controversy in history books was that Zhang Huan was used by the eunuch Cao Jie to lead the army to suppress the mutiny of the general Dou Wu and the Taifu Chen Pan with the intention to expel the eunuch. Because of this, when my grandfather served under Zhang Yu's account, he did not have much meritorious deeds. Especially as the "account supervisor", the respectful person will call himself a "general", otherwise it is nothing more than the guard of General Du Liao.
Now after listening to this story, I have a deeper understanding of my grandfather.
Of course, when he was more surprised that these three black arrows could trace this distant history, which was too dramatic.
"Is it true that the black arrow bandit was not successful? However, more than ten years have passed since Xiping's first year, how can the Qiangfei still be so fierce and unbridled? Chen Xianjun said doubtfully.
"This is what puzzles me." Zuju said in a heavy tone.
"Dad, assuming that the Qiang bandit was not dead in those years, how old is he now?" After a burst of silence, Zu Zhao asked.
"I'm afraid it's nearly 50 years old at least." Zu Ju said.
"I'm afraid it's impossible for people who are nearly 50 years old to have such powerful archery." Chun Yupei said suspiciously.
"Yes, it's really unlikely." Zu Fan nodded and said.
Several other elders followed each other and talked about it. Although the matter was quite strange, most of them would rather think that it was just a coincidence, or someone else would commit the crime in the name of the black arrow bandit.
"Aun, it doesn't matter whether it's really this person or not. What matters is how to bring these murderers to justice. The thief robbed the horse, and it may be the villagers on the border of the two counties, so they will inevitably find ways to transfer the horse to the handker in exchange for cash. Sun Er believes that the most urgent thing is that we should focus on the nearby counties and cities to see if anyone is eager to take action on similar stallion. Zu Zhao interrupted everyone's subjective speculation and said his method.
The eyes of the hall once again turned to Zu Zhao. Everyone felt that the method proposed by Zu Zhao was very feasible. They not only clarified some chaotic clues, but also praised Zu Zhao's ability to analyze things.
"Well, in addition, we should also send personnel to Ma City, Lingzhi County to find out about the suspicious people who have often appear near Ma City recently, and also pay close attention to the remote villages on the border of the two counties to see if there are any unruly people who are ready to move." After following Zu Zhao's words, Zu Fan added.
"I'm afraid there is something wrong with the cross-border investigation..." Chen Xianjun showed suspicion on his face.
"Don't worry, you can make friends with the children of Zujiazhuang to handle this matter. We are just waiting to investigate the clues. If we really find out that the murderer is hiding in Liaoxi County, it will not be too late to go to Liaoxi County." Zu Fan said first.
"In this case, it's also a way, so let's do it first." Chen Xianjun was slightly relieved and nodded slowly to agree.
The specific details and the allocation of manpower were discussed again. At first, Chen Xianjun was perfunctory and did not intend to immediately promise to dispatch soldiers and gatekeepers from the county government. After all, the matter was too complicated, and he did not want to get into trouble from beginning to end. However, Xuandu County can't stand to be engaged in Chun Yupei's presence. In addition, Wenxian lieutenant and Zu Fan always say something resolutely, so he can only bravely accept it first.
Chen Xianjun will sign the official documents early tomorrow morning and hand them over to Wen Tai and Zu Fan for execution. As for cross-border enquiry, all of them will be handed over to Zuju's family. Taking this opportunity, Zu Zhao, Zu Ji, Zu Cheng and other young children have volunteered to volunteer. Earlier, Zu Ju was really worried about what would happen to Zu Zhao. However, this time, coupled with the discrimination ability just revealed, it can be seen that his grandson was indeed a genius, so he was not too entangled.
For Zu Ju, he did not believe that the black arrow Qiang bandits from more than ten years ago would come back, and there were nine out of ten others in this murder. At that time, he did not believe the rumors in how powerful the "black arrow" was in the barracks, and there was no shortage of competition in the bones of martial arts practitioners. Nowadays, the ancestral family is prosperous, there are many children, and the support of local officials. Even if the "black arrow" rises again, he is not afraid of him. On the contrary, he has to learn how powerful the other party's "arrow" is.
Because of this mentality, he no longer hesitated in front of the county government and the distinguished guests, and directly agreed.
After the discussion was completed in the Zhongtang Hall, Chen Xianjun and others got up and said goodbye, Zu Zhao also gathered Zu Ji and Zu Cheng, and invited Zu Fan, who was his nephew, to sit in the side hall together.
Zu Ji and Zu Cheng are both children who go to Xihe Bridge to practice together on weekdays. They are familiar with each other and obedient. Zu Fan is not a stranger. He has seen him every New Year and festivals, but he doesn't have a deep friendship with this nephew. In addition, the other party now has a public office, which is somewhat estranged.
What the four people did when they got together, or how to take action after dawn.
Zu Zhao politely recommended Zu Fan to make a detailed deployment. However, after a moment of silence, Zu Fan said solemnly, "He has a public office and can only obey the orders of the county lord. The county lord has arranged for Wenxian lieutenant to investigate the border villages of the two counties, and I'm afraid he has no time to take care of anything else. The action arrangement of the children of the clan has to be determined by the eldest son.
This ancestor is clearly deliberately modest, and indeed a person who knows the current affairs. Zu Zhao secretly praised in his heart that he liked to deal with these people the most.
"So, that's right," he nodded and said without any pretaphany. "Tomorrow morning, I will gather all the children to go to Lingzhi County. If Lingzhi County has a wireless cable, it will be divided into two, looking for traces of the places attacked yesterday and visiting other cities near Lingzhi County."
"Vit's very good. If there is any news, I will inform you in time. If you really find a thief, the eldest son must be careful and never be angry for a while. If it doesn't work, you can return to your family and discuss it in the long run. Although Zu Fan was young, his age and experience were longer than Zu Zhao, so he warned him earnestly.
"I will definitely keep it in mind." Zu Zhao didn't have any airs and politely agreed.

[It's about to leave Beijing, and Beijing is really cold. I hope that the shooting plan after returning to Xiamen will not be stranded. In addition, I recommend the movie "Police Story 2013", which is really a little more attentive than the previous work.]
