Guo Kang feels that this is indeed the case.
"Then we'll go back and make serious plans. But this time, I still have to make a plan." He thought about it and changed his plan: "This time, I originally planned to wait for two more days to see if the church could investigate. To produce more, it doesn’t necessarily have to start as soon as possible, but those Russians are in a hurry.”
"If those cases are true, these prisoners can't escape no matter what. So I suspect that instead of wanting to eradicate the murderer as soon as possible and save the civilians from suffering for a few days, they actually want me to be able to actually Do something to show your sincerity.”
"But this request is not unreasonable to be honest." Guo Kang hesitated: "You also know that local officials don't take these people seriously at all. They lack trust in the government, and they really need to be practical. Only by taking action can we give an explanation to the believers who support them."
"Before doing anything, you must first win people's trust. Jin Wen Gong would rather give up attacking the original place, and Shang Yang would issue heavy rewards before reforming the law, all in order to gain trust. Although these residents live in the city, in fact, they have been there for a long time. It is not under the jurisdiction of the government. If you want to establish a new order among them, you must first gain trust. I think that this attitude of being anxious and doing what you say is more important than the cost of alerting the enemy. .”
"Besides, I feel now that it might not be a problem to alert the snake in the grass." He thought for a while and added: "This list has all gone to Pronsky's hands. I guess these people were abandoned by the gang. Son. They were already prepared when they gave out these clues. I estimate that these prisoners will not run away at all. The mastermind has already dealt with the traces of involvement in the crime, and will inform everyone only when there is no problem. .”
"This is equivalent to everyone cooperating in a play, and they will follow the script. I just need to try my best during the performance and take the opportunity to achieve the most beneficial results for us. That should be fine."
"This makes sense..." The adoptive father pondered for a moment: "Then what are you going to do?"
"This case is different from the norm." Guo Kang told him: "The person who committed the crime had joined the army before, and I looked at the crimes and found that many of them were 'sustainable', such as enslaving civilians and long-term plundering of property. Category. In other words, even after these people join the new army and obtain reserve military status, they are still in a criminal state."
"In this case, can we punish them through military law?" he asked.
"If it's really a serious crime, that's true." After the adoptive father answered, he reminded: "However, you'd better investigate it yourself. There may be errors and omissions in the information they gave you, and it may even be intentional. If you adopt it directly and the penalty is unfair, you will be in trouble. You can't say that this rough information is deliberately misleading."
Guo Kang nodded and said it was okay.
"Can the Ministry of War help?" he asked, "Are there any military judges on duty here? Allocate two people to me and follow everyone around. If the situation is good, the culprits will be captured and interrogated. The public outrage is particularly great. , if you can’t take your time, I will hold a public trial there and punish you in public. So it’s best to have someone on site to help.”
"That's no problem." The adoptive father agreed: "Since it is a newly formed army, and it was made clear from the beginning that it was temporarily organized for an expedition, it is indeed of great importance. This belongs to the category of strategic preparations, and I You can take care of it. You can take my command flag with you."
Guo Kang quickly thanked him, and his adoptive father said you're welcome. He called a clerk and asked him to prepare documents and records, and asked his soldiers to bring the flag.
"Take it, and you will be considered the Warmaster's envoy." The adoptive father handed him the small flag in front of everyone: "Do it well and don't embarrass Rome."
Guo Kang took it with both hands and completed this very brief ceremony.
"Can I help too?" Guo Ponu asked eagerly.
"This is serious business, so don't cause trouble." The adoptive father refused: "If you want to help your brother, just go home and stay honest, and don't cause him any trouble."
Guo Ponu curled his lips unwillingly, but he didn't lose his temper here and just remained silent.
The adoptive father is quite satisfied with this. After all, for Guo Ponu, this was already a very knowledgeable move... He asked someone to make a record, signed it, and then sent Guo Kang out. He told him to be more careful, and asked him and Guo Ponu to Left together.
However, when they walked out of the door, Guo Ponu became dishonest again.
"Hey, hey." She poked Guo Kang and said, "Good brother, take your sister with me this time, okay?"
"Didn't Dad say it can't be done?" Guo Kang replied quickly.
"Can't I blend in with your entourage?" Guo Ponu suggested: "It's a bit risky for you to go there alone. I have more experience in the world than you, and I can fish you out if something goes wrong. This is not better?"
"If it is really that dangerous, you should not go." Guo Kang told her: "When Lord Xinling was preparing to attack the Qin army and selecting soldiers, he asked that if his brothers were in the army, the elder brother should go home. In this way, the remaining Only those who are below will have no worries and dare to fight with all their strength."
"If the two of us are in danger together, it will be in trouble. This is my mission, and it was originally chosen by me, so there is no need for you to follow me. Don't you think so?"
Guo Ponu couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, so he had to remain silent for a while.
"If you really want to catch a few thieves, I will give you clues later, and you can lead people to do justice yourself." Guo Kang took the opportunity to make a concession: "This time is really not as exciting as you thought, it is just a routine to catch a few scapegoats. I guess their gangs are hoping that we can capture them quickly and get rid of trouble. It would be nice if they were not tied up and brought to us. What are the risks..."
"I'm not looking for excitement." Guo Ponu said with a frown: "I really want to help you. I don't know why, but I always have a hunch that there will be an accident this time..."
"You have beaten that fortune teller too many times, and you have learned it yourself, right?" Guo Kang said with a smile: "Then don't teach him a lesson next time. Go to the University of Constantine and teach all the professors and doctors there Give it a beating and see if it can improve your intelligence."
"I'm serious..." Guo Ponu was a little unconvinced, but didn't know what to say. He could only sigh: "Hey, why doesn't everyone let me do my business? Just because I'm a woman? What if I It’s just that he’s an elder brother and you’re a younger sister.”
"Then if you are going to perform official duties and your sister has to go on an adventure with you, would you be willing?" Guo Kang asked directly.
Guo Ponu was stunned, and after struggling for a long time, he realized that this was really the case.
Now, she couldn't find a reason.
