Chapter 172

The prefect of Changde Prefecture and the Commander of Changde Guard arrived at the same time, as if they had agreed.

As early as when Chen Feng and his party moved into the inn, these local officials had already learned about it.It's just that Chen Feng is leading Jinyiwei and Mingtang, let alone these two agencies jointly handle the case, even if only one agency is usually involved, local officials dare not intervene at will, unless Jinyiwei or Mingtang actively seeks support.

So local officials mostly just sent people to express condolences, but now the situation is different.Three hundred families of the Jinyi Guards were killed, and the officers and soldiers searching around Dongting Lake also lost a lot, so the prefect and the guard commander came, which shows the seriousness of the situation.

Although the inn is simple and simple, it does have a small gathering hall, which is just right for discussions.

Chen Feng and Zhao Lin were sitting in the hall, Dugu Huang also came, he followed him, sitting next to Chen Feng in a decent manner, people who didn't know thought he was also a high official.

Although Chen Feng was not appointed as an official, he is the leader of this operation, and this special status is enough to be treated and respected by officials from all over the country.

Yicheng led the guests in respectfully, not only the prefect and the command envoy, there were four of them.But the identities of the four can also be seen from the service, two are wearing armor and armor, and two are wearing official uniforms.

The two officials in the middle are the largest, and they both saluted, and said respectively:
"Man Jianglu, the magistrate of Changde Prefecture, has met the imperial envoy!"

"Chang Dewei Commander Gu Defei has seen the Imperial Envoy!"

Chen Feng sat in the middle, so he was naturally the object of their visit.He has no status in the court, and the title of imperial envoy is indeed the most appropriate.

After the introduction of the two supreme commanders of the Changde Mansion, the attendants on the left and right began to salute:
"Shi Fenqiang, the magistrate of Changde Mansion, has met the imperial envoy!"

"Feng Ze, the governor of Changdewei Town, has met the imperial envoy!"

Chen Feng waved his hands in a dignified manner, and said, "Excuse me, please sit down."

The four sat down separately, and Man Jianglu, the magistrate, got up first and said, "My lord, since I received the news of the death of three hundred households in Jinyiwei, I have mobilized more than [-] servants from various prefectures and counties in Changde prefecture to work on the west bank of Dongting Lake and On both sides of the north bank, suspicious persons have been searched continuously, and nearly a hundred suspects have been captured so far. Although there are many casualties among the guards, fortunately, their lives are not disgraceful!"

He was asking for credit from the very beginning, Chen Feng was puzzled, why these people were so efficient in handling affairs, and they had already arrested a hundred people.

Just as he was about to be questioned, Commander Gu Defei slapped the table and stood up: "Hmph, the manchurians are only arresting petty thieves, and it has nothing to do with the case of the murder of a hundred households of the Jinyiwei. This commander dispatched [-] troops from the guard, and even more Let Changde's number one fierce general, Feng Ze, lead them to fight hand-to-hand with the Iron Palm Gang. Although the army suffered hundreds of casualties, they still found out who the culprit was."

Man Jianglu glanced at Gu Defei, and said with a sneer: "Gu instructed that his soldiers and horses fought against the Iron Palm Gang. Could it be that the prisoner you mentioned is the Iron Palm Gang?"

"Exactly!" Gu Defeiyi said confidently.

"Is there any evidence for the ancient instructions?" Man Jianglu asked in court.

Gu Defei said proudly: "It was said by the disciples of the Iron Palm Gang!"

"Where is that disciple?"

"Naturally, the Fa has already been executed on the spot!"

"Nonsense, there is no evidence to prove it, the Gu Commander must not talk nonsense in front of the imperial envoy!"

……

The two highest-ranking military and political officials in the Changde Mansion quarreled, and it seemed that no one wanted to see the other.

How can I help these people if they have to fight against each other to do something?

Chen Feng shook his head secretly, slapped the table and shouted: "Shut up!"

Man Jianglu and Gu Defei stopped talking, and both of them sat down with a cold snort.

Chen Feng could finally ask: "Prefect Man, since you have arrested so many people, have you found out anything about them?"

Man Jianglu responded: "My lord, I haven't found out who the murderer is yet, but the Changde Mansion is carrying out round-the-clock search and arrest work, and the murderer will definitely be found!"

Chen Feng has been in the station all the time, and he doesn't know exactly what the officials and the army do. If they use the excuse of arresting the murderer to randomly arrest people and disobey Chen Feng's orders, Chen Feng will be the one who will be corrupted in the end. Feng's reputation.

Therefore, it is necessary to beat it: "My lord, it is important to arrest the murderer, but we must also investigate carefully, and we must not arrest people casually."

Man Jianglu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the imperial envoy is right."

Chen Feng asked again: "Also, you just said to investigate on the west bank and north bank of Dongting Lake, so wouldn't the other two sides give the murderer an opportunity?"

Man Jianglu said with a smile: "Master Imperial Envoy, please rest assured that the East Bank of Dongting Lake will be investigated and arrested by Yuezhou Mansion and Yuezhou Wei, and the south bank will be under the responsibility of Changsha Mansion and Changsha Guard. Because the incident happened within the scope of our Changde Mansion, this One time, the official will lead, and the other two governments will send people to assist."

Gu Defei couldn't help but interjected: "Manchurians are responsible for those useless servants, and Yuezhou Wei and Changsha Wei each send 1000 people to be commanded and coordinated by me. Our army is the main force!"

"Gu Commander, where are you going to put us with your words?" Man Jianglu said slightly angrily.

Gu Defei said indifferently: "It's good for officials to catch thieves. It's better to leave it to our army to deal with the forces of the world like the Iron Palm Gang. Besides, Jinyiwei is also in the military system, so we should be in charge."

Chen Feng knocked on the table and said, "Okay, okay, why did they start arguing again without saying a word!"

The small hall became quiet again, but at this moment, Chen Feng's blood boiled with excitement.The army dispatched a total of 5000 people, and the guards estimated that there were also this number.With tens of thousands of people helping him, Chen Feng felt the pleasure of berating Fang Qiu.

But soon Chen Feng came to his senses, what's the use of having more people to order?These guys wrestled with each other, and it took a lot of effort to direct them.

Chen Feng prefers the comfortable and comfortable life of being alone, and quickly settles the Jiangnan affairs, so he can go back to the inn to accompany his wife!

"Gu Commander, why do you believe that the murderer is the Iron Palm Gang? You can't make a judgment just because of a dead man's words!" Chen Feng asked again.

Gu Defei said solemnly: "Jinyiwei is different from our local guards. Everyone in Jinyiwei has martial arts, and Jinyiwei Baihu is even better. If he can kill three Baihu at the same time, he must be a person in the world. Our Weiwei So although he seldom takes care of local affairs, he pays special attention to the forces of Jianghu. Looking around Dongting Lake, the only one who can kill three hundred households and has the courage to fight against the imperial court is the Iron Palm Gang!"

Chen Feng secretly smiled wryly, Gu Defei's judgment could not be wrong, and Leng Li and the others had already judged that the murderer was the leader of the Iron Palm Gang.But no one can answer the doubts in Chen Feng's heart, and it is not so easy to deal with the Iron Palm Gang and the Wang family.

"Gu Commander, don't conflict with the Iron Palm Gang for now." Chen Feng reminded.

Gu Defei showed dissatisfaction, and said: "Master Imperial Envoy, don't you believe what I say?"

Chen Feng said with a straight face: "Even if the murderer is the Iron Palm Gang, can you lead the Changde guards and horses to attack the Iron Palm Peak?"

Gu Defei was silent. Attacking a mountain is not easy, but it cannot be done by relying on a large number of people.What's more, the terrain of Tiezhang Peak is dangerous, surrounded by mountains, even if you want to surround the mountains, I am afraid that thousands of soldiers and horses combined by the three guards will not be enough.

Chen Feng couldn't make them hate him, even though he was an imperial envoy, and Gu Defei and Man Jianglu were superficially respectful, but they didn't necessarily think highly of Chen Feng in their hearts.The imperial envoy is only temporary, and maybe it will be removed after this matter passes.And the local officials sit firmly on the ground, they are not even afraid of some Beijing officials.Let them bear a grudge, secretly play tricks, say that you have done some bad things in the local area and report them to the court, which will only set yourself on fire.

So Chen Feng said a few more words of relief: "The efforts made by the Gu Commander and Man Zhifu are worthy of recognition. I will definitely report to the emperor so that the emperor will remember your achievements!"

"Your Imperial Envoy is polite!" Gu Defei and Man Jianglu both smiled.

Chen Feng finally instructed: "Okay, you guys continue to maintain this enthusiasm, but remember not to have large-scale conflicts with the Iron Palm Gang. You only need to strengthen the security around Dongting Lake, and report to me if there is any trouble. here!"

"Obey!" The two officials stood up and said goodbye, but they left their deputy behind.

"Feng Ze knows some martial arts and is capable of carrying a cauldron, so he will stay with the imperial envoy to protect you."

"I will leave Governor Shi behind. If you have any requests from the Imperial Envoy, just ask, and he will definitely do it!"...
