Chapter 2602 The bait appeared
A few days later.
The yamen where the official is promoted.
Of course there was a temporary police officer who knocked on the door and came in.
"What's the matter?" Liu Tuiguan did not raise his head and continued to look at the case file.
"Tell the official, there is a man named Wu Sanwen outside the door."
"He said that he is the real deceased, no, it is the real Wu Sanwen." The policeman said with a look of surprise.
"He came to the Yamen to ask for his identity documents so that he could take up his post."
When Wen Rensheng outside the door heard this, he immediately understood that this was a bait.
But others naturally don’t think so.
At least the detective took it seriously.
Liu Tuiguan's expression suddenly changed, and then he said: "Okay, call him in quickly."
"Forget it, I will go see that person in person."
< br>Of course, Liu Tuiguan is also acting.
Not long after, in a side room of the second hall of the Yamen, a middle-aged man who was a little thin but seemed very capable appeared.
He is about thirty years old, and his weight seems to be about 100 kilograms.
No wonder he was easily killed by the assassin.
After Wu Sanwen came in, he handed over his hands to the official and said:
“Reporting to the official, the people who live in Liu Gen’s house are actually of low rank.”
"That night was because a friend came to see me. Both of us were very drunk. He had no place to stay at that time, and I happened to have some things to buy, so I gave him my sleeping place."
"And I went to stay in the inn myself so that I could go shopping early the next morning."
Actually, there is a loophole in this statement.
Wen Rensheng recognized it as soon as he heard it.
If an outsider suddenly came to stay, why didn’t Liu Gen and Liu’s father mention it before?
It can be said that Liu Gen is not at home, but Liu’s father is always at home at night.
If Wu Sanwen was replaced by another person, wouldn't he ask a few questions?
Even though Wu Sanwen deliberately avoided Liu Gen, the two drunk people made a lot of noise when they returned home.
Why didn’t Liu Gen’s father hear it?
And Liu Tuiguan also asked: "According to what you said, why didn't Liu Gen's father hear it? Why didn't he report it before?"
"That's because Liu Gen My father is old and goes to bed early. He snores like thunder when he wakes up. ”
"I don't know anything about what's happening around me."
"This is what Liu Gen told me." Wu Sanwen quickly replied.
"It is precisely knowing this that I let my friends stay at my place while I sleep in the inn."
After hearing this, Liu Tuiguan nodded.
“This can explain a thing or two.”
"Yes, you can only hear the sound unless he gets up at night." Wu Sanwen quickly agreed,
"And he happened to be snoring at the time, so I wanted not to disturb the old man, and I would leave early tomorrow morning. It saves trouble."
After hearing this, Liu Tuiguan continued: "What you said is okay."
"But why did it take so many days for you to come over and admit that you didn't. Come and get your identity document?”
Wu Sanwen looked around and whispered:
"Actually, the villain is afraid that the killer will appear again."
"I have found that the news has disappeared in the past few days, so I dare to come to collect the identity documents."
"Killer, you know that person A killer?" Liu Tuiguan asked subconsciously.
"Yes, the villain has never offended anyone, and that friend has not offended anyone either. This is our first time in this county."
"No one Knowing us, if someone comes specifically to kill me, it must be the killer.”
"I must have taken a fancy to the identity on the villain's document. It was this identity that offended some people." Wu Sanwen said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Liu Tuiguan pretended to be real: "Then what is your identity? I haven't recruited you from the truth."
"Well, the villain is just an ordinary border official who went to work. Just an official." Wu Sanwen looked around and didn't say directly.
Liu Tuiguan then asked people to leave.
Then Wu Sanwen mysteriously took a white flower from his arms, took out a veteran, and put it on top.
The king is in Baishang, he is going to rebel...
"This is all a mess." Liu Tuiguan took a deep breath and matched the code.
This man is what the strong man calls fishing bait.
For safety reasons, he did not go with the strong man to meet the bait in private.
Otherwise, once exposed, there will be no room for maneuver.
He only knew the secret code for connection spoken by the strong man.
"Okay, okay, I understand. After comparing the documents, I will return them to you. Remember not to lose them again in the future." Liu Tuiguan said directly.
As soon as Wen Rensheng heard this, he knew that a loophole had appeared.
In order to fish, fatal loopholes had to be exposed.
This document is an important piece of evidence. How could a referee hand it back to the suspect at will?
Isn't this funny?
Of course, there were too many loopholes in feudal ancient times.
Everyone is too lazy to care.
If nothing else, is the palace strict enough?
Didn’t I, the Qing Dynasty, get broken in directly by hawkers, rebels, and cooks?
The so-called strictness is actually a stereotype left by people from movies and TV series.
The real feudal society is just a big scam covered with paper.
The big one deceives the small one, and the small one coaxes the big one.
We are barely maintaining a system that is destined to collapse.
Some scams are more deceptive, so they last longer, while some scams are so rubbish that they fail after a few years.
Some scams are relatively high-end and can last for hundreds of years.
"Thank you, sir." Wu Sanwen quickly bowed.
From beginning to end, he did not kowtow.
This is actually proving to others that he is not a commoner.
Kowtowing between officials and officials depends on a system. The two parties are not in the same system, so they do not necessarily have to kowtow.
"However, you still need to prove your identity." Liu Tuiguan said again at the critical moment.
The other party then took out another small seal.
“This is the official seal that matches the identity documents.”
“At that time, my documents were placed in a package because it was a bit big and difficult to carry with me for fear of being broken.”< br>
“But I carry this small seal with me.” Wu Sanwen handed the small seal to Liu Tuiguan.
Liu Tuiguan took it out and compared it, and the comparison was serious.
You can’t tell at all, but he personally handed this to the strong man.
"The comparison is correct. It seems that you are the original owner."
"Take the document first and leave the county quickly."
"Don't do it again. You have caused trouble for me." Liu Tuiguan waved his hand.
He vividly portrays the image of a bureaucrat who doesn't want to get involved in big things.
As for what to do with the deceased and what to do with the case, just leave it there.
Just let the murderer escape and be difficult to capture.
Anyway, there are a lot of cases piling up every year.
Does anyone really think they need to solve every case?
Isn't it just someone who died?
In which year will a group of people not die in vain?
So from this point of view, there is no big flaw in this matter.
This is also the basis for Liu Tuiguan and the strong man to make a plan.
Then Wu Sanwen left from the Yamen Gate with documents, seals and other items.
When walking, he chose the narrow path.
Wait until the other party is more than half a day away.
At this moment, Liu Tuiguan called Wen Rensheng and a group of police officers.
“Okay, let’s set off immediately.”
“You don’t need to ask anything more, just follow me.”
Naturally, he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.
Because the journey has been determined in advance.
As long as they follow from a distance, they don’t need to see Wu Sanwen.
To prevent being discovered by interested parties.
As for the name, just use the name of a business trip.
Later, Liu Tuiguan greeted the county magistrate and told the government that he was going out on official business.
Of course the government did not refuse.
After all, it would be nice to have someone to take care of this hard work.
No matter how hard it is for Liu to push the official, if he doesn't do it, everything will be ruined. It will not be beautiful if the superiors ask.
So those who work hard in the yamen may be promoted and suffer hardships, but when doing things normally, as long as they are not stupid at the top, they will still follow the procedures that need to be followed. Of course, there is no shortage of fools, so the system will collapse sooner or later.
"If it doesn't go as I expected, the poisonous snake will be out soon." Liu Tuiguan said casually after leading the people on the road.
The surrounding police officers didn’t understand either, so they just followed him anyway.
It is impossible for everyone to have a horse and not be able to ride it.
Only one of them, Tuiguan, has a horse.
And the horse was very old.
Walking thirty miles in a day is as high as the sky.
At this time, when everyone was following Wu Sanwen from a distance, Wu Sanwen hired a carriage from a trading company in the city after leaving the city.
This carriage has a fixed route.
Only walk between county roads.
Because there is too much food in this world, and there are frequent cases, there are very few wars.
Similarly, there are very few bandits on a large scale.
Because there is no source of population.
Only a few fugitives gather together occasionally.
Because they have no shortage of food, they rarely go down the mountain to rob.
After all, a robbery is a risk.
So it is safe on the road.
After all, we are all strangers to each other on the road.
There is rarely a motive for murder between strangers, so the probability of cases on the road is very low.
This Wu Sanwen first took a carriage, and then went south to take a boat on the canal.
In this way, wait until you reach the Central Plains, then take a boat from another river connected with the canal and head northwest.
After traveling northwest for hundreds of miles, turn the carriage and head northeast.
After the carriage, we took the official road again.
By trekking all the way and making detours, you can reach the northern border.
The whole journey is actually not far, if you say it is far, and not very close, if you say it is close.
If he could endure the bumps and not be greedy for convenience, he would fly all the way from the border grassland to the capital.
After running through the flat wilderness, we then passed through a mountainous field, then entered the plains, and flew into the air again.
In this case, only the mountains and wilderness are difficult to walk.
Other places can cover 600 miles a day.
It takes about a week to reach the capital.
And this place happened to be carefully selected by the prince's staff.
In this way, when you look at it from a distance, it won’t attract anyone’s attention.
But at the critical moment, as long as you endure hardship and stand hard work, you can overcome the difficulties of the journey and reach the capital in time.
Of course this must be an elite person.
And the scale can only be less than three hundred.
In fact, during the positive change, 300 people in key positions are enough.
And coveting comfort is the visit like this.
First go south, then west, then north, then east, making a big bend.
Try to take a boat or a horse-drawn carriage as much as possible. It is natural to be comfortable.
And it’s also safe for the body.
If you take shortcuts, your body may die.
Many migrants and officials died on the road.
We cry when we say goodbye to those who are traveling far away, because the probability of death is too high, so we basically have to be prepared to never see each other again.
In this way, it is safer because riding a carriage or boat consumes less energy on the body.
Time will drag on for a long time.
It will take at least 2 months to get to the place.
However, the term of office is relaxed to half a year.
It is normal for a certain position to be vacant for half a year in a place.
Walking less than fifty miles a day.
This is the normal driving speed of ancient people.
In fact, the ancients used the word "slow" to lead the way.
Walking thirty or forty miles a day is common.
In the eyes of modern people, this is not as fast as riding a bicycle for an hour.
There is a big gap between the ancient and modern roads.
Now there are various roads, which are very flat, with villages surrounding the roads, and they are relatively safe.
Even for a normal walk, you don’t need to bring too much stuff, just buy what you need on the way.
In ancient times, if you did this, you would die.
You have to carry a lot of dry food and water, and you have to calculate how many miles you have to walk every day.
Never take unfamiliar roads.
Otherwise, encountering thieves on the road would be a trivial matter, and without water or dry food, it would be a dead end.
Therefore, ancient people rarely traveled far.
Except for a few official roads, they can still be maintained to a certain extent, which is to use loess to compact them.
Most of the other roads are made by people.
No maintenance, everything depends on the weather.
Whether it is marching or passing by, the speed is quite slow.
If an army of tens of thousands sets out, it will appear like a long snake.
Why is it most dangerous when an army is marching?
Because the front has already traveled dozens of miles, and the soldiers behind are still in the camp and have not gone out?
Once attacked, the head and tail will not know each other.
Even if there are messengers running back and forth to inform them of the situation.
The poorly organized Chen team had no time to organize a temporary counterattack.
They will only be defeated one by one by using more people to defeat less people locally.
Then there will be chaos and murder attempts.
Countless generals and troops died on the march.
That’s why we need pioneers.
Those who often say that hundreds of thousands of troops are entrenched in one place are simply impossible.
The reason is also very simple, because the roads are limited.
Hundreds of thousands of people cannot get away just by walking.
Forget about logistics, as for walking in the wild?
The wilderness is full of dangers.
In ancient times, development was incomplete, and walking would trample the fertile farmland on the roadside.
Having fields is still an easy way to go.
When you walk into the wilderness, you will die.
On both sides are mountains, or forests, or hills.
Why does this army need to divide its troops even though it knows that dispersion will lead to weakness?
It’s not that I don’t want to concentrate, it’s that I can’t.
To gather together and follow one road is too inefficient.
Only in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse can we reach the battle location?
So in general, ancient battles involved attacking in several directions and finally converging.
In this way, the marching efficiency can be improved and more supplies can be obtained from the road. In fact, it is to rob local warehouses and rob local people.
Even within the homeland, it was plundering.
Strengthening young men and forcibly confiscating food.
So wherever the army went, it was a mess.
It will take tax-free years to recover.
After one march, within a few years the route was abandoned.
Abandoned means that the village is finished.
Wen Rensheng naturally knew these things. The reason why he paid attention to this was because the man named Wu was deliberately observing the road and even writing on the paper.
Obviously he is planning to send troops back to the capital in the future.
These are important combat knowledge.
