——Jizhou Governor's Office

The bodies were lined up in the open space, their clothes were untied one by one, and their belongings were placed aside and waiting for inspection.

"How is the situation?" Guo Jia came over and asked.

Wang Yue stood up and said, "Everyone's clothes are newly bought ordinary clothes, most of them have no marks on weapons, and there are no gaps. They should be newly created, with average quality, and you can find a few craftsmen to create them."

The few marked ones are armoured by the late emperor. I don’t know how many of them were scattered by the people, and they are of no value.

I just cut open the abdomen of several people. There was nothing unusual about it except meat and alcohol, but their legs... Look, there are signs of long-term riding on the inner side of the thigh."

"You mean, they were all cavalrymen in the past?" Guo Jia immediately thought of Gongsun Zan, who had been dead for many years.

"Yes, and it's not our cavalry in the Central Plains. Our cavalry in the Central Plains now use double stirrups and saddles. Although the inner side of the thighs will also have special marks due to procrastination, it is obviously different from theirs.

They are probably cavalrymen from the grassland.”

"Prairie?" Guo Jia looked at the north and became suspicious.

"I know it's hard to imagine. Not to mention the Huns, the Wuhuan has already been attached to it. Even the Xianbei was severely injured by our army. How dare we assassinate the general?

Even if you dare to come, how did the Xianbei people come here with such a long distance from Xianbei to Yecheng?"

"Go to report to the general first." Guo Jia gritted his teeth and said, "You and I have both dereliction of duty this time, so I should take the initiative to ask for punishment!"

"I understand!"

While Guo Jia and Wang Yue were checking the body, Ma Qiang met with Zhang Ren and the other two who were brought back together with Ma Teng.

"Zilong wrote to me before, and I also told me why General Zhang had not appeared. It turned out that he was worried about strong safety and was secretly protecting him. This really touched me!"

Ma Teng next to him also praised Zhang Ren as Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu's senior brother, and he was in line with the same lineage as his trust and righteousness.

Zhang Ren opened his mouth, not knowing whether he should let Ma Qiang stop touching himself. He simply didn't want to see the world split again after Ma Qiang's death and then helped him, and he didn't keep secretly protecting him...

"Okay, it's great if you come!

On the way I came, I was thinking about the garrison of Yizhou. According to the tips, the tribes in southern Yizhou colluded with the local southern barbarians, and seemed to be rebelling against the court. Yizhou, which had just been pacified, might be in turmoil again.

General Zhang, you have been a general in Yizhou for many years and are familiar with every inch of land in Yizhou. I want to be the commander of the army, the rank of major general, and return to Yizhou to form the 33rd Army of the Han Dynasty. Your two brothers are also appointed as battalion commanders, and serve under your command and receive the rank of colonel. How about it?"

Um?

Zhang Ren was a little surprised that Ma Qiang actually wanted to worship him as a general as soon as he met, and asked him to return to Yizhou to lead troops. He was not worried about the possibility of his rebellion. He couldn't help but feel moved by some soldiers who died for his confidant.

"General Zhang, the world should not be in chaos anymore. It is time for the people of the world to return to a peaceful life. This is why princes like General Fubo and Liu Changsha were willing to surrender to the court without fighting.

I hope General Zhang will also let go of his prejudice, help him and help the court with his help!"

As he said that, Ma Qiang stood up and wanted to bow to Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren hurriedly avoided and then said, "The sinful general... dare not accept the courtesy, Ren is willing to serve the general!"

In fact, Zhang Ren has been around these days, walking and looking at it, and has long been impressed by the new era created by Ma Qiang. It is just that the Battle of Yizhou and the death of Yan Yan have always been the thorn in his heart, making him unable to get out.

Now Ma Qiang took the initiative to pay homage to him, giving him enough face. There is news that Liu Zhang had already arrived in Changsha and became the county magistrate, which finally made him come out.

Deng Xian also bowed to Ling Bao next to him and expressed his willingness to serve.

"Ming Gong!"

Ma Qiang looked up and saw Guo Jia and Wang Yue outside the door, nodded and said, "Come in and sit down, General Zhang will also sit down. From today on, General Zhang will be the commander of our 33rd Army of the Han Dynasty. He will take office in Yizhou soon."

"Congratulations to the general for adding another tiger general!"

Ma Qiang smiled, and then Guo Jia and Wang Yue told the information they had just analyzed in public.

"Xianbei people?"

"It may also be the Qiang people or other nomadic tribes." Wang Yue said.

Ma Qiang touched his chin. In fact, it was not the first time he encountered assassination. From the time he started to the army, he has encountered assassination of many big and small. After all, there are too many people who hate him.

But this time was the weirdest one.

After all, it is a strange thing that these grassland people can realize that the Central Plains is unaware of.

"No matter where people are, they can lurk all the way to Yecheng and ambush. There must be internal ghosts in Jizhou and even in Hebei.

You must capture this inner demon!”

"promise!"

Ma Qiang asked Wang Yue to investigate and deal with the assassination matters, and he also wanted to talk to Ma Teng about the preparations for the State Conference.

——

"First check the wine house and the hotel, and don't let go of the houses in Yecheng City. Before dark, you must find clues about these people!" Wang Yue shouted with a dark face to the hundreds of Jinyiwei households in front of him.

"promise!!"

All members of the Jinyiwei and Neiwu Guard were dispatched, and the people were also extremely disgusted with the assassination. Many civil forces were also mobilized and clues were quickly found.

"Hmph, I'm smart, knowing that death is the most enjoyable."

Wang Yue came to a hostel and saw the body of the hostel shopkeeper who was still hanging on the rope and did not put it down. He hummed.

"General, please spare me. I'm just a chef and I don't know anything."

A man who was already scared to death was thrown in front of Wang Yue by several Jinyiwei. This was the only remaining living habit in the hotel. The rest of them either committed suicide or died under the knife.

"Whose business is your Yonghui Hostel?"

"The villain doesn't know. The villain is just a chef. Today, he happened to be unwell and didn't come to the hostel. The villain really doesn't know anything."

Neiwuwei next to him said, "The origin of this hostel has been checked. The owner of the hostel came here two years ago and his surname is Jin. This is his information."

Wang Yue looked through it and found that this ancestral home was Sili Jingzhao. The ones who committed suicide were mostly Sili people, and most of the ones who were killed were from Jizhou.

From Sili?

No... Everyone can say Sili's official words, which may also be a trick.

"Conductor, this is what we found from the ashes of the kitchen."

A soldier presented something. Wang Yue took it and saw that it was a letter that had not been completely burned. Wang Yue read it carefully and found that the few words left by burning did not look like letters at all, but were like prescriptions.
