What? !
Qin Feng only felt his head buzzing.
When he rushed to Beixi County for thousands of miles to rescue his mother, Qin Cheng, Qi Meng had made great contributions, and even fought with Qin Feng through life and death.
Such a living, flesh-and-blood man...died in battle? !
For Qin Feng, this news was like a bolt from the blue.
Qin Feng opened his mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time.
I don't know how long it took before Qin Feng seemed to come back to his senses, and his voice sounded again, but it was extremely cold: "Please explain to me everything that happened in Beixi County these days."
Although the messengers did not have the responsibility to defend the city, they were born and raised in Beixi County after all. It was precisely because of the arrival of Qin Feng that the once decayed Beixi County regained its vitality.
The messengers were naturally saddened by the tragic situation in Beixi County.
At this time, I felt the blazing murderous intent in Qin Feng's eyes. Instead of being afraid at all, I felt very excited!
Because he knew very well that Qin Feng would never give up and would definitely seek justice for the soldiers and civilians who died in the battle in Beixi County.
According to the dictation of the messenger, Qin Feng gradually learned the whole story of the battle. His fists suddenly tightened, then slowly loosened, and then clenched again.
Qin Feng was so worried and angry for the first time in his life!
"Had it not been for the delay in military intelligence, Beixi County would not have been devastated, and Qi Meng would not have died in the battle!"
Qin Feng's face was ashen and he wished he could fly to Beixi County now.
However, I was busy with official duties, so I could only hold this bad breath in my heart.
Qin Feng stared at the messenger in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"
The messenger knew that Qin Feng would not embarrass him, but when he felt the infinite anger hidden in his eyes, he still couldn't help but feel flustered: "The younger one's name is Zhao Cheng."
Qin Feng nodded: "You don't have to rush back to Beixi County. I will send guards to escort you to Tianji Camp to meet my second sister Liu Hongyan. From now on, you will be the postmaster of Beixi County. You are fully responsible. From the day you return to Beixi County, you will tame a thousand fast horses and expand the messenger force to 500 people. All expenses can be reimbursed by my second sister!"
"In the future, if there is any further delay in correspondence between Beixi County and Kyoto, I will only ask you!"
Zhao Cheng's eyes were burning, and he quickly knelt down on one knee: "I will definitely live up to your high expectations!"
After sending Zhao Cheng away, Qin Feng did not rush to Dali Temple, but called Qin Xiaofu to his side.
This was the first time that Qin Xiaofu saw Qin Feng so serious. He didn't dare to laugh in the slightest and kept his head down.
Qin Feng originally wanted to keep his feet on the ground and gradually build Beixi County.
But today's bad news proves that some people are eager to immediately appreciate the tragic situation of Beixi County's devastation.
Extraordinary times, extraordinary measures!
Qin Feng said in a deep voice: "Qin Xiaofu, go and notify Ning Hu and ask him to bring a hundred guards to prepare to escort the engineering team to Beixi County!"
Hearing the word "engineering team", Qin Xiaofu looked confused: "Master, what is the engineering team?"
Qin Feng was not in the mood to beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Lu Ming was appointed as the chief of the engineering team. Five hundred craftsmen were mobilized from Tianji Camp, covering all types of work. They traveled lightly. All the required utensils and building materials were listed. They arrived at the local state capital and purchased them on the spot. .”
"I have already given the planning blueprint of Beixi County to Lin Quqi, and I will just let Lu Ming start construction according to the blueprint."
"Also... on the way to Beixi County, let Ning Hu hire civilians along the way. Anyone who is willing to join the army and go to Beixi County to replenish the army will be treated favorably! As for the number of people, there is no need to set a limit, as many as you can recruit."
Qin Xiaofu did not dare to hesitate and ran towards Tianji Camp with Qin Feng's command.
After Qin Feng finished explaining, he did not get in the car, but walked towards Dali Temple on foot. His face was always gloomy. He almost walked a few steps before giving an order.
When they arrived outside the gate of Dali Temple, there were only a dozen guards left.
Standing outside the gate of Dali Temple, in front of several officials, Qin Feng had no scruples and gave the last order: "Go to my eldest sister Shen Qingci and prepare fifty caravans, each with ten to twenty people." No matter what, the price for purchasing materials such as iron, copper, hemp, oil, and beef tendon will always be 10% higher than the market price. The purchased materials will be shipped directly to Beixi County."
Under the extremely surprised gazes of several officials, Qin Feng no longer hesitated and stepped into Dali Temple.
Because of a case in Pingyao County, one of the three criminals was involved.
Dali Temple did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, so the minister of Dali Temple contacted him personally.
The procedures for handing over the stolen goods charges were extremely smooth and took less than two hours.
As for when to interrogate Gao Ming.
How to convict.
It's not Qin Feng's turn to intervene in this kind of thing. At most, he can be a witness when the time comes.
When Qin Feng walked out of Dali Temple, it was still bright, so he was not in a hurry to return home and went straight to the official department.
Wu Mian, the official minister, seemed to have expected Qin Feng to come and had been waiting for him for a long time.
As soon as Qin Feng stepped through the door, Wu Mian had already picked up a list and handed it over.
The case in Pingyao County has become the last straw for Gao Ming.
It is only a matter of time before the documents from Dali Temple are issued.
Without Gao Ming's constraint, Wu Mian no longer had any scruples and went straight to the point: "This month's transfer of officials in Kyoto has been recorded. Whatever you want to investigate, just investigate it yourself."
On the way here, Qin Feng thought he would waste some time.
Who would have expected that Wu Mian would be so open-minded.
After taking the list and scanning it from beginning to end, Qin Feng had a good idea.
All Kyoto officials who enter or exit Kyoto, whether on private or official business, must report to the Ministry of Personnel for registration.
According to official transfer records, only seven or eight people have recently left the city for business, and during this period, only one person went to the vicinity of Fuyun County.
This person is Sun Feng, the head of the Ministry of Industry.
Fuyun County is located to the west of Kyoto, guarding the main customs clearance route. Both caravans and messengers must pass through Fuyun County.
The Fuyun County Station is also the necessary stop for the troops to change their horses and rest.
The Beixi messenger was intercepted and killed. Apart from this, Qin Feng could not think of any other reason...
Qin Feng silently wrote down the name and cupped his hand to Wu Mian: "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for the convenience."
As everyone knows, at this time, although Wu Mian's face was calm and relaxed, his heart was uneasy.
after all……
The battle of Beixi County has spread among Kyoto officials.
Even if only one of his guards died, Qin Feng would hold a grand funeral, causing uproar in the city.
Now that Qi Meng, the captain of the Tianji Battalion, is dead in battle, won't Qin Feng be in trouble?
At the cusp of this storm, Wu Miancai did not touch the bad luck.
Wu Mian didn't hesitate and just made a "please" gesture, indicating to Qin Feng to help himself.
After walking out of the official gate, Qin Feng's roar resounded through the streets: "Take that bitch Sun Feng to Tianji Camp!!!"
Since the young master has spoken, the Tianji camp guards naturally have no worries at all and can just follow the orders.
As soon as the guards from the Tianji Camp left, a loud shout came from behind.
"Qin Feng, calm down!"
"Don't make small things big, or big things will become unending!"
