035 Birds with one stone(1/2)
The leading beggar was dressed in white, with a square scarf on his head and straw sandals on his feet.
The three of them came to the beggar, punched and kicked him, and snatched the money they had obtained from the porcelain bowl.
Chen Ge sat in the noodle soup shop, his eyes narrowed slightly and did not move.
He was going to wait for the group to leave before following him and wait for an opportunity to take action.
Unexpectedly, several constables emerged from the darkness and captured the beggar on the spot.
One of them even came straight to the noodle soup shop.
The man bowed and looked respectful to the middle-aged man:
"Mr. Censor, the suspect has been arrested, please move to the court."
Chen Ge was stunned when he thought of the reward he heard in the downtown area:
"Chi Yushi Cui from Dongchang Prefecture?"
“That’s right.”
Seeing that Chen Ge still had no intention of escaping, Censor Cui believed what he said just now.
If he did not show up, this knight would have taken action with justice:
"I thank the hero for the sake of the little girl."
Chen Ge smiled shyly and waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no, I haven't done anything yet, I dare not be a hero."
Citic Cui smiled and looked at the half bowl of cold noodles on the table.
He took out dozens of cents and put them on the table, and said to the stall owner:
"I'll treat this little brother's noodle money and give him another bowl of hot noodle soup."
The stall owner responded and wiped his hands on the white scarf.
He came over and picked up the copper coin and blew it, put it in his ear, and smiled:
"Okay, come now."
Censor Cui nodded at Chen Ge, turned around and followed the detective away.
Well, I've been in vain.
He is such a wicked man, but he can't even behave like him.
"Customer, your big bowl of wide noodles."
The stall owner put a bowl of soup noodles on the table, and the heat churned.
"Swish~"
Chen Ge took a big sip and smiled slightly.
It is better to investigate the parties than to fight violence with violence.
Today's business is not a waste of work.
When I left the noodle shop, the afterglow had dyed the sky.
Parallel birds drew an arc in the sky.
The store started to clean up and close and was about to return home.
Chen Ge didn't want to be idle and wandered around the streets.
I will go in every tea shop, hoping to find out the rumors about the surrounding fox demons.
Unfortunately, there is no substantial gain.
Instead, I got some irrelevant news many times.
On the route to Wangdu County, bandits have appeared frequently recently.
The government failed to do its best in three rounds of siege.
So a warning was issued to make pedestrians and passers-by pay more attention.
Chen Ge is not even afraid of female ghosts, let alone mere robbers?
It would be fine to listen to this kind of thing.
When I returned to the inn, lanterns were hung on the street.
There are still many tourists coming and going, and it is quite lively.
Chen Ge returned to the bedroom and put it on the door.
The body is lying on the bed to rest, and the consciousness controls the spirit puppet is alert.
All night, nothing to say.
...
The next day.
The fog was very heavy in the morning, and the visibility was only five or six meters.
In addition, the mud was not cleared last night, the ground was slippery, making it inconvenient to walk.
Chen Ge waited in the inn for more than an hour before setting off after the fog dissipated.
Riding a horse from the west gate of Baoding Prefecture left the city and set foot on the official road to Wangdu County.
We headed southwest and walked about twenty miles.
Chen Ge saw a familiar figure at the foot of an unknown mountain.
Censor Cui.
He got off the carriage and stood with more than 40 detectives, as if discussing something.
There was a man remanded in front of the queue, and it was the beggar leader.
Chen Ge specifically investigated at the tea shop in Baoding Mansion last night.
According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the censor was almost a second- and third-rank official.
Baoding Government Office helped to capture the beggar leader yesterday and conduct interrogation.
Now that they appear outside the city, there is only one possibility.
Search for fish involved in the case that missed the net.
More than 40 constables were more than enough to arrest an equal number of suspects.
But they stayed at the foot of the mountain and didn't move, which was a very telling problem.
Based on the information found yesterday, Chen Ge made a bold inference.
The government did not wipe out the bandits, and they were in the same group as those who hurt Miss Cui.
In this way, it makes sense.
The government sent all the constables to assist in the pursuit, hoping to leave a good impression on the censor.
Unexpectedly, the beggar and the bandits teamed up and lost the numerical advantage.
They were waiting for orders at the foot of the mountain, and most of them sent people to ask for help from Baoding Prefecture and wait for reinforcements to take action.
After analyzing this, he had roughly understood the causes and consequences of the matter.
It would be better if I could help here and make Censor Cui owe him a favor.
Chen Ge's wishful thinking was awesome.
As long as you can take on the task of going up the mountain to suppress bandits, there are three major benefits.
First, win over high-ranking officials.
This is the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. The designated experience after dozens of days is mostly related to monsters and monsters.
If you can join a high-ranking official like Censor Cui, you may be able to help.
If you have multiple friends and multiple roads, even if you can’t help, you will not lose much.
Second, increase practical experience.
The strength of these bandits is that, otherwise they would not have been defeated by the government twice and hid in the mountains.
Chen Ge can take this opportunity to do more related tests.
Grasp the limits of the ability of the spirit puppet and increase practical experience.
Third, expand your reputation.
Many fox demons in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio like to find scholars and famous scholars.
The hidden attribute of fame is naturally the more the better.
Especially when you go to Guangping Mansion to find Xin Shisi Niang, your reputation is the best stepping stone.
