The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 184 Investigation Team
"Humph."

A gloomy middle-aged man, dressed in black, sneered as he watched the looting that was about to take place.

His name is Zhang Tianyuan, and he is the deputy general of Dacheng, because Dacheng is located in the northernmost part of the Ba Kingdom, and its own trade is not developed, and the oil and water are not rich.

So occasionally do some private work.

For example, pretending to be a robber to rob traders.

These little guys are not bandits, but the defenders of Dacheng under Zhang Tianyuan's command.

"General, can we do this? This caravan belongs to Dahan Town. I heard that it defeated the Qin-Chu coalition forces." A young man covered with a black cloth worried.

"Defeat the Qin and Chu coalition forces?" Zhang Tianyuan sneered, "You believe such nonsense, let alone the Qin and Chu coalition forces, even if there is only Qin, no other country dares to be an enemy of it."

It is inconvenient to transmit information in this era, and there is no authoritative information to refute rumors.

Without seeing it with his own eyes, Zhang Tianyuan would not believe it.

"Perhaps it is also possible."

The young man also nodded, like Zhang Tianyuan, half-believing in this information.

Whoosh whoosh.

There were more than a dozen militiamen guarding the caravan, and they took out the 'Mohist hand crossbow' from the grain cart to shoot at the thieves who came to grab the grain.

The defenders of Dacheng who pretended to be robbers did not expect that the grain transportation team had such sharp weapons.

The few 'robbers' who rushed to the front were unfortunately shot and fell to the ground.

Having learned from the past, the 'robbers' behind also learned the lesson and quickly dispersed, taking advantage of their numerical advantage and wielding their bronze swords to kill at close range.

Although the militia resisted bravely, the good tiger couldn't stand the pack of wolves.

Dozens of militiamen quickly fell to the ground.

One of the 'robbers' stabbed the militiaman hard in the chest, then kicked him violently, "Damn, he's pretty tough."

"General, the weapons carried by this group of people are not simple. We have lost more than a dozen brothers, and this deal is a bit of a loss."

The middle-aged 'robber' handed Zhang Tianyuan the 'Mohist crossbow' used by the militia.

Zhang Tianyuan took the 'Mo Family Crossbow' and looked at it carefully for a while. As a city guard deputy general and a professional soldier, he could see the power of this crossbow at a glance.

"How many?" Zhang Tianyuan frowned.

"General, each of these dozens of guys is one of a kind. This thing is too powerful. If we didn't attack suddenly, if we really gave them time to prepare, I'm afraid they would have to join a dozen more brothers." The middle-aged 'robber' bluffed. .

"Ten dozen?"

Zhang Tianyuan had a very bad feeling.

He had never seen such a powerful crossbow.

If the rumors are true, Dahan Town can fight against Qin and Chu, and its strength is too terrifying.

Even if the rumors were half-truth, it was not something he could resist.

"Take care of the corpse, don't leave any traces, and don't transport the grain carts to the city for the time being, find a place to hide first." Zhang Tianyuan ordered.

"General, you're too cautious. Even if they knew we were the ones who robbed them, so what, they don't have any evidence, so maybe they can still fight." The middle-aged 'robber' laughed.

"To shut up!"

Zhang Tianyuan glared at him coldly, so frightened that he dared not speak any more.

"Clear the battlefield quickly."

Zhang Tianyuan ordered immediately, while looking at the corpses worriedly.

Hope no one knows they did it.

A few days later, news of the robbery of the grain truck reached Dahan Town.

Because the grain trucks had not arrived, Ma Huateng, who was in charge of the grain and grass, sent people to check, but no movement of the grain trucks was found along the way.

When he came back to report, Ma Huateng thought badly, he must have encountered robbers.

After getting this news, immediately report to Su Lin.

"What, the grain team lost news?" Su Lin frowned.

Because those militiamen were recruited later and were not recruited by the system, the system did not prompt them.

"Yes, according to the plan, the food team should have arrived three days ago, but it has not arrived. The day before yesterday, I sent someone to check, but no trace was found. My guess is that there was an accident and a bandit hijacked the car. The possibility is very high." Ma Huateng analyzed.

Su Lin laughed instead, "Bandit? Which blind bandit dares to attack us?"

"As far as I know, caravans have been attacked from time to time near Dacheng during this period, but bandits mostly rob money and rarely kill people. This is a bit strange."

Ma Huateng was confused. Even if the bandits hijacked the car, they only stole money and did not kill anyone. However, a dozen militiamen in the caravan disappeared, which was a bit strange.

"Don't forget, you are talking about ordinary caravans. The militiamen in our caravans are equipped with bows and crossbows. Ordinary bandits are not opponents. They should have a large number of soldiers who have received certain training to successfully attack."

Su Lin's guess is already very close to the real situation.

Zhang Tianyuan is the deputy general of the defenders of Dacheng, and he must not be recognized by others, so everyone was silenced to prevent leaks.

"It's possible." Ma Huateng nodded in agreement.

"Will the caravan be robbed, will it affect the grain storage?" Su Lin asked.

"There is some impact, but it's not big. Our town's grain reserves are guaranteed to be consumed for more than two months. These grains are used for storage. What my subordinates are worried about is that when the next wave of caravans goes to transport grain, this kind of situation will happen again. matter." Ma Huateng said.

"Ah."

Su Lin frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "You go down first, I will send someone to investigate."

"Here, my subordinate will leave." Ma Huateng bowed his hands and withdrew.

Su Lin sat down and said to Xiaodie behind him, "Go, call Dai Li in."

"Here."

Xiaodie nodded. Dai Li is the chief of the intelligence bureau. He usually works in the town and rarely goes out.

Every day, he had to process and analyze all kinds of intelligence, and also assigned tasks to his subordinate spy leaders to monitor the security situation of the entire town and prevent people from mutiny.

The whole Dahan Town is covered with his eyeliner, and he can grasp every trouble.

"See my lord." Dai Li walked in and hurriedly bowed his hands.

"The grain caravan was robbed, do you know about it?" Su Lin said lightly.

"Just found out."

"Who did it?"

"It's not clear yet, my lord, please give me a month to investigate." Dai Li said.

"Half a month, I only give you half a month, I only have one request, no matter who dares to rob our grain truck, there is only one end for him, that is...death." Su Lin said coldly.

Feeling the pressure, Dai Li bowed and said, "Here."

After finishing speaking, he backed off and walked out of the town center with a heavy heart.

Back at the Intelligence Bureau office, Dai Li called a few people and set up a special investigation team to investigate the robbery of the grain truck.

"This time the grain truck was hijacked, the Lord has given a death order for half a month and must find out who was behind it. Therefore, an investigation team has been set up to go to Dacheng to investigate."

Sitting on a chair, Dai Li looked coldly at the row of people standing below.

In the Intelligence Bureau, only Dai Li could sit, and the others had to stand.

Of course, Li Erni was not included. She was the deputy director and an old man next to the lord. In terms of qualifications, she was higher than Dai Li.

So she sat beside her, crossing her legs and looking at her nails, as if she didn't care.

"Cough cough."

Dai Li coughed lightly and continued: "This investigation team is led by Deputy Director Li Erni." Then he turned to look at Li Erni, "Is it okay?"

"I don't care?" Li Erni spread her hands and said yes.

"En." Dai Li nodded, then looked at the crowd, and continued: "There is also Shen Jun, Jiang Chuan led five secret agents from the Intelligence Bureau to Dacheng to investigate."

"Here."

Shen Jun and Jiang Chuan cupped their hands.

"By the way, if I want to do this, I need another person." Li Erni put down Erlang's legs and said seriously.

"Who?" Dai Li asked suspiciously.

"Shi Qian." Li Erni smiled with her lips curled up.

"Shi Qian?"

Dai Li was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "He made a big mistake last time and was punished by his lord to do hard labor in the mining village."

"You are the director and you can decide. Then give him a chance to make up for his mistakes. We go to investigate the special skills he needs."

Li Erni smiled and said that special skills refer to sliding doors to pick locks and sniffing out news.

With this kind of skill, Shi Qian is the only one in Dahan Town.

"Okay, I'll report to the lord and transfer Shi Qian here." Dai Li thought for a while before nodding.
