Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 71 The Strange Disappearance

"I didn't know that my lord was coming, I ran into my lord, I hope my lord will forgive me!"

After reading Xu Zun's imperial imperial edict and the official documents of the state government, the officer who had just entered quickly knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty to Xu Zun.

"Is there still Wang Fa!?" Xu Zun shouted excitedly, "We just came in for a meal, but without saying a word, these ruffians rushed over to beat us like mad dogs. We broke!

"Do you know what is the crime for beating me, a dignified seventh-rank official of Daxuan? Are you tired of living?"

"Ah!?" The officer trembled all over, and hurriedly argued, "Your Excellency, don't bother with them. This time it is definitely a misunderstanding. They really don't know that you are Mr. Ti Xing! Don't blame those who don't know, please forgive them. !"

While apologizing, the officer looked at the picture in front of him in confusion:

However, they saw that the bearded man and the others had been beaten to the point of being almost inhumane, lying on the ground and moaning in pain, in very miserable condition.

And Xu Zun and the others were alive and kicking, chatting and laughing happily, this... who the hell hit whom?

Zhao Yu and Huo Anu next to him were also wiping away cold sweat, feeling that Master Xu had a thick skin.

The one who came up to beat someone without saying a word seemed to be the three of them, right?
"Listen to what nonsense you're talking about!?" However, Xu Zun didn't buy it, and scolded the officer, "I'm Mr. Ti Xing, this is a misunderstanding!

"Then if I'm just an ordinary citizen, I deserve to be beaten to death by you? Let me ask you, where is the law of the king!? What is the law of heaven!!?"

"This..." The officer turned pale with fright, and said hastily, "Your Excellency taught me the right lesson! It's a humble job with incompetent discipline, incompetent discipline!"

"Also, don't think I'm blind," Xu Zun said again, "You are harassing the common people in the name of looking for people, and collecting money illegally. Guess, I will see you later, Lord Inspector, will I give it to you?" How about a small report?"

"Ah!?" The officer quickly changed his knees and knelt down, bowed his head and pleaded guilty, "Your Excellency, please don't do it! You deserve to be punished for your despicable deeds, and you deserve to die. I beg you to forgive me. If you are a despicable officer, you will clean up the team and strictly discipline yourself. I can't let this happen..."

Originally, according to the rules, the Daxuan Dynasty also separated the military from the government, and Xu Zun could not restrain these soldiers.

However, after all, Tangzhou's punishment is state officials. If it is really reported to the army, then these people will definitely be severely punished, and they may even be convicted and sent to prison.

"Well, the attitude is not bad! Get up first!"

Xu Zun knew in his heart that if he really sued them, he would lose.

Since these soldiers dared to collect money illegally under the guise of looking for people, it means that their superiors must have acquiesced.

If you tell them the truth, you will only get nowhere.

Therefore, it is better to accept it as soon as it is good.

"Come here," the officer ordered, pointing to the four people who were beaten, "these guys are discrediting our team, and they will pull down the heavy staff of forty army sticks as a punishment. Anyone who dares to disturb the people will be punished." Heavy punishment!"

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately stepped forward and dragged out these captains who had already been beaten badly...

"Shopkeeper," the officer was very discerning, immediately took out a piece of silver, and said to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, "Hurry up and bring your best food and drinks to entertain Mr. Ti Xing!"

"Okay, okay..." The shopkeeper knew that a senior official was coming, and hurried to the back kitchen to prepare meals.

The guys also wisely stepped forward to clean up the battlefield and clean up the mess.

"My lord, it's a little meaning, not a respect, haha..." The officer took out a money bag and put it in Xu Zun's arms.

"Woo..." Xu Zun stopped hastily.

He also didn't expect that this soldier was so exaggerated that he dared to openly bribe in public.

It can be seen from this that Daxuan's practice of bribery is not uncommon.

However, Xu Zun has a sense of propriety, so he absolutely cannot ask for this money.If you want it, there will be endless troubles.

"This..." The officer didn't expect Xu Zun to reject it, and was very embarrassed for a while.

"Come on," Xu Zun motioned the officer to sit down, and asked, "What's your name, what position do you hold? Which team do you belong to? As long as you answer truthfully, I won't trouble you!"

"Oh," the officer replied hastily, "Next is Wu Zhengranlin of the No.17 team of the Shangyuan garrison."

Oh……

Xu Zun searched his memory and found that Wu Zheng was a position in the army. Although he had no rank, he managed at least two to three hundred people under his command and had certain real power.

"You searched this Dahuai County wantonly, what are you looking for?" Xu Zun asked again.

"My lord," Ran Lin replied hastily, "Marquis Changping's daughter is missing, and I'm responsible for searching Dahuai Town and nearby villages to find Miss Lu's whereabouts!"

"Oh..." Xu Zun asked again, "Do you know how Miss Lu, Marquis of Changping, disappeared?"

"Five days ago, I was taken away by gangsters!" Ran Lin replied truthfully.

"What!?" Xu Zun was surprised, "Abducted?"

"No way?" Zhao Yu was also shocked, "That's the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, who is so bold?"

"Where was he taken away?" Xu Zun asked again.

"Well..." Ran Lin hesitated.

"It's okay for you to say it," Xu Zun said, "You have read the official documents, and this officer came to Shangyuan City this time to investigate this case!"

"Oh," Ran Lin didn't hesitate anymore, "Miss Lu was attacked and taken away by gangsters on her way home from Qinglan Study after school!"

"Study?" Xu Zun was curious, "Then Miss Lu has no guards?"

"The two bearers, the two guards, and the maid were all stunned by the gangsters!" Ran Lin said.

"What's Miss Lu's name? How old is she?" Xu Zun asked again.

"Lu Mingyue, 16 years old."

As she spoke, Ran Lin waved her hand to the soldier under her command, and the soldier immediately handed over a set of scrolls.

As the scroll opened, it was a portrait of a young and beautiful woman.

"We have never seen this Miss Lu," Ran Lin explained, "so I don't know if this portrait is real or not?"

"Okay," Xu Zun looked at Lu Mingyue's portrait carefully, and then asked Ran Lin, "Tell me about the study!"

"Qinglan Study is located in Qinglan Temple. It is the only girls' school in Shangyuan City. The students who study there are all noble ladies from Shangyuan City." Ran Lin introduced, "Miss Lu goes to the study every week to attend lectures. twice."

Oh……

Xu Zun searched his memory, but he didn't expect that the Daxuan Dynasty did have a loose policy on women, allowing women to study in the classroom.

"What do you usually talk about in the study?" Xu Zun asked again.

"Well, I don't know about the humble job," Ran Lin shook her head, "I guess it's all about Taoism or Taoism?"

"Oh..." Xu Zun thought about it secretly, and asked, "Then you have been searching for a few days, have you gained anything?"

"No!" Ran Lin replied bluntly, "I didn't find anything. After the gangster kidnapped the lady, he disappeared without a word, as if he disappeared from the world!"

It's like this...

Xu Zun frowned, already feeling that there was something abnormal in this case.

Since they dared to kidnap the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, then this group of gangsters must have a plan!

Logically speaking, five days have passed, so he should have received the blackmail letter a long time ago, right?
Could it be...not asking for money, but revenge?

Or... Marquis Changping received the blackmail letter a long time ago, but he was under pressure and didn't know the government?

Although he has not obtained all the information, Xu Zun already has a vague feeling that the above two situations seem unreasonable.

In the case of revenge, the body should have been found long ago!
And if they were threatened by blackmail, Marquis Changping would definitely find a way to stop the search, and these soldiers would not be so fanatical.

This case...seems weird, doesn't it?

"Hey?" At this time, Huo Anu thought of something and asked Ran Lin, "You said you are the Shangyuan garrison, so who is the captain of your garrison?"

"Captain Zuo is Captain Yuan Xingtai of the Army Banner." Ran Lin replied.

"What about Captain Right?" Huo Anu asked.

"Captain Right is our immediate superior," Ran Lin replied, "Captain Jingwu Shen Xinglian..."
