Just when the county soldiers were about to surround Xu Taiping and others.
Wang Mingxiao rushed out quickly and shouted from a distance: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, Xu Captou, it's all misunderstanding."
While shouting, he waved his hands to let the county soldiers disperse.
When he arrived at the door, he bowed to Xu Taiping and saluted: "Captain Xu, it's all a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding."
Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows: "You are..."
Wang Mingxiao cupped his hands: "Captain Wang Mingxiao."
Captain.
Xu Taiping understood.
The official position of captain is quite complicated. The rank may be high or low, depending on where you serve.
Moreover, his responsibilities are quite complicated. He is not a military attache, but he is not a pure civil servant either. He can charge into battle on horseback, supervise the transportation of grain and fodder, and supervise subordinate officials. He can take care of everything.
When serving as a captain under a county captain, his rank is naturally not high, comparable to that of a head catcher. Although he has many soldiers, his authority is not high and he can only manage few things. He can only show off his power in the county barracks.
A bit similar to Xu Qing's master.
It is equivalent to the chief steward of the county captain in the military camp.
Just the name... It seems that this Wang Mingxiao is not the chief steward of Yang Jintang, but the chief steward of the Wang family in the south of the city.
Xu Taiping guessed and let go.
He returned the favor with a smile and said, "It turns out to be Captain Wang. Since it's a misunderstanding, just clear it up."
Wang Mingxiao nodded quickly: "Yes, just untie it. Mr. Xu, did you bring the county magistrate's warrant or something?"
"There is a document here. Please check it out, Captain Wang."
Wang Mingxiao briefly read it.
With a smile on his face, he made an invitation gesture: "Xu Captou please."
"Thank you for your cooperation."
"It's the right thing to be on duty in the same county."
"King Commander Gao Yi."
Xu Taiping nodded to Zheng Bowen and other officers and entered the military camp.
Wang Mingxiao led the way sideways: "Xu Captou, come inside and drink tea."
Xu Taiping shook his head: "No, let's investigate the case directly."
Wang Mingxiao did not object: "Where to start the investigation?"
"I'm going to look around as I please."
"Then, Wang will lead the way?"
"Can."
"please."
Accompanied by Wang Mingxiao, Xu Taiping walked around the camp.
Ask seemingly innocuous questions from time to time.
Wang Mingxiao was secretly on guard. If he could not answer, he would not answer. He would either say he didn't know, or be vague and perfunctory.
Xu Taiping was not angry and asked Zhou Dafu, who was accompanying him, to record it in the book.
From time to time, one or two county soldiers were caught asking questions, but they didn't ask anything sensitive.
Finally, he went to the kitchen and chatted with the chefs for a while.
Then he returned to the Chinese military tent.
Wang Mingxiao was worried and asked carefully: "Xu Captou, can I let Wang read this record again to avoid any omissions?"
Xu Taiping was embarrassed: "This is inappropriate..."
Wang Mingxiao understood instantly.
Wave.
Drive others away.
He took out a banknote from his pocket and said, "Xu Captou, this is a national official ticket."
Xu Taiping looked shocked and said: "Hey, Captain Wang, what does this mean?"
Wang Mingxiao sighed: "Captain Xu, we have also heard about the case that happened the night before yesterday. There are rumors among the people that the murderer was a county soldier. Therefore, everyone in the county barracks is in panic. They only hope that Capt Xu will solve the case as soon as possible. Return the county barracks’ innocence.”
Xu Taiping frowned: "Until this arrest finds evidence, all speculations cannot be taken as true, and folk rumors are even less trustworthy."
"Hey, we understand the truth, but people's hearts are unpredictable," Wang Mingxiao sighed again: "So, please ask Capt. Xu to solve the case as soon as possible."
With that said, he forced the banknote into Xu Taiping's hand: "Captain Xu, please pay more attention to the investigation. You have been known as the best arrester for only half a month after taking office, and I believe this time will be no exception."
Xu Taiping smiled bitterly: "It's just a false reputation, not to mention that this case is not trivial. I'm afraid..."
"Just try your best. Capt. Xu will try his best to investigate the case. No matter whether he can find the real murderer or not, he can at least help clear the suspicion of the county barracks."
"This... still needs to be investigated."
Wang Mingxiao took out another banknote: "Investigation is an investigation, but how to investigate is not a matter of Xu Xu's first words?"
Xu Taiping glanced at him and said: "Okay, I will give priority to investigating the county barracks and try to rule out the suspicion of the county barracks as soon as possible. However, Captain Wang, if I find out that the county barracks is really involved, don't blame me. No mercy."
Wang Mingxiao was shocked in his heart, but he smiled openly and said: "Captain Xu, there are 800 people in the county barracks. Who dares to do something like that? Even if someone dares, the soldiers will never do it." Will you obey those random orders? Soldiers are human beings, not puppets, right?"
Xu Taiping nodded.
But he sneered in his heart.
Are soldiers human?
Indeed, soldiers are all living people, with thoughts, families, parents, wives and children.
However, if you really have the means, you can turn soldiers into puppets.
Not to mention the various miraculous methods used by the monks.
With simple brainwashing, inducement, coercion or even deception, a group of living soldiers can be turned into living puppets.
Just like my catchers.
Give me another half year, and I can turn this group of agents into die-hard loyalists who only listen to my orders.
It can even turn them into a group of extreme fanatics.
But this kind of thing.
Can do it.
can not say.
When Wang Mingxiao saw Xu Taiping nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief and held Xu Taiping's hand enthusiastically: "Xu Taiping, you are so young and have the reputation of being a divine catcher. You have entered the martial arts. Your future will be limitless. Let's move around more in the future. Maybe someone will be able to help someone out at some point. We are all from Jianyang. If we go to the county town one step further, we are fellow villagers. It is natural for us to take care of each other. Do you understand?"
Xu Taiping put the banknote into his sleeve.
He smiled and nodded: "What Wang Duwei said makes sense. We really need to take care of each other. Not to mention going to the county town, even in Jianyang City, we should not be life and death enemies."
"Hahaha, Xu Captou really knows how to be an official, and his future must be bright."
"Captain Wang also has a bright future."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The atmosphere was instantly harmonious.
Wang Mingxiao also saw the transcript as he wished.
After checking word for word, I found no record that was unfavorable to the county barracks. I was sure that Xu Taiping was just going through the motions, and I immediately felt relieved.
Leave the county barracks.
Zheng Bowen and the other detectives breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Drenched in sweat.
Panting.
It felt like he had just fought hundreds of rounds with water ghosts in the water.
When Xu Taiping saw this, he shouted coldly: "Look at how bad you are. A few county soldiers scared you so much that you wet your pants. How can you take on big responsibilities in the future?"
Zheng Bowen blushed instantly and said calmly: "Xu, Mr. Xu, those are eight hundred county soldiers. One person can drown us with just a spit of spit."
Xu Taiping sneered: "Don't forget, your status is no lower than theirs. You are county police officers. You are the only one who bullies them. Who will get their turn to bully you?"
"This, this, how can a villain have the means to bully them?"
"Haha, if you find their family members, as long as there is a case, take their family members to the county government for interrogation and then put them back. If they don't kneel down and beg you three or five times in a month, I, Xu Taiping, will take your surname."
Zheng Bowen and others were dumbfounded.
Master Xu's move... is too damaging.
If you really do this, not to mention ordinary county soldiers, even some small officers can't handle it, unless you are so cold-blooded that you don't care about the life and death of your family at all.
This move is a combination of openness and insidiousness. He knew what was going on, but he couldn't prevent it.
It is only natural for the police to investigate the case.
You can check whomever you want, as long as there are no problems with the program, you will always be invincible.
This is really a new way to use the power in your hands.
As expected of Master Xu!
At this time.
A government servant hurriedly ran over: "Master Xu, the county magistrate orders you to return to the county government office immediately."
