Delinquent Yamen.

Zhao Xun secretly recorded something while flipping through the files he had compiled recently about the northern barbarians living in Chang'an City.

He has a habit of trying his best to reduce the omission of information.

The document database is a good large database, but because of this, there is a lot of information in the large database, and it is inevitable that things will be missed.

It would be a pity if key information was missed due to human error.

"Brother Mingyun, you should also take a rest. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of northern barbarians in Chang'an City. You will be exhausted from reading the files one by one..."

"Yes, Ming Yun is not in a hurry at this moment."

Seeing that Zhao Xun was not thinking about food and tea, but was focused on handling and investigating the case, both Jia Xingwen and Wangcai felt very distressed.

"I'm not in the way. It's just idle time anyway, so just spend more time on it."

Zhao Xun disagreed with the two men's remarks.

Now the northern barbarians and monsters have bypassed the Shuozhou defense zone and moved south in large numbers. Their purpose is obvious, which is to besiege Chang'an City.

Although they do not have a large army to attack the border yet, Zhao Xun knows that it is only a matter of time before the army reaches the city.

"Oh, you have such a bad temper. That's all, let's go eat first."

Seeing that he could not persuade Zhao Xun, Jia Xingwen took Wangcai and walked out.

"Brother Mingyun, if you are hungry, just squeak and we will bring you food immediately."

Prosperity comes along the way.

Um?

Why does Zhao Xun feel that something is strange? It seems to be

"No need to send food, I will eat it myself."

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly.

He felt that something was wrong, and it turned out that the problem lay here.

He's not in jail, so why would he ask someone to deliver food?

Zhao Xun read the dossier very seriously, so much so that he felt numb after a long time.

But when he saw a file, his attention instantly focused.

Because the people on this file suddenly disappeared.

"Jieligu"

This name is very difficult to pronounce. Zhao Xun tried to read it several times before he could barely read it clearly.

"This person was still living in Xingshanfang a day ago, why has he disappeared today?"

These northern barbarians living in Chang'an City are the targets of government surveillance, and their every move is strictly controlled by the government. Now Chang'an City has implemented very strict wartime martial law, let alone a big living person.

Even a mosquito cannot fly out easily.

Therefore, Zhao Xun naturally did not think that Jie Ligu had escaped from Chang'an. In his opinion, Jie Ligu must have been hidden in a corner of Chang'an City, so that the government officials, officers and soldiers in the Xingshanfang area could not see him.

He later recorded a disappearance in the file.

Zhao Xun's intuition was very accurate. He felt that there was something wrong with this Jie Ligu.

A normal person, even a northern barbarian, would not do such an abnormal behavior at such a juncture.

Therefore, this Jie Ligu must have a guilty conscience and hide himself at such a moment.

"Xingshanfang"

Zhao Xun knew that Xingshanfang was under the jurisdiction of Wannian County. Therefore, the records in this file were probably recorded by the Wannian County government officials.

In order to try to determine the truth as soon as possible, Zhao Xun decided to rush to Wannian County Government Office immediately.

Zhao Xun rushed out of the office cubicle in a hurry. Wangcai and Jia Xingwen were enjoying takeout. Seeing Zhao Xun was about to go out, Wangcai quickly greeted him: "Oh, Brother Mingyun, where are you going in such a hurry? Anyway, where are you going in such a hurry?

Let’s go after dinner.”

Zhao Xun waved his hand and walked quickly: "If you don't want to eat, you eat first."

Zhao Xun is a complete workaholic. When Zhao Xun is stuck in work mode, no one can stop him.

Kou Lian, the magistrate of Wannian County, saw Zhao Xun coming and quickly led a group of government officials to greet him.

"Oh, what kind of wind brought Mr. Zhao here."

Nowadays, Zhao Xun is a popular young man in Chang'an City, and he is also a figure in the emperor's heart. Countless people want to climb up to this giant Buddha but have no chance. Magistrate Kou never thought that Zhao Xun would take the initiative to show it to his door.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

In officialdom, having a backer is very important.

People with a backer and people without a backer climb up at completely different speeds.

If Magistrate Kou can get Zhao Xun's support, his career will be smooth in the future.

Therefore, he was extremely flattering to Zhao Xun, and even knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhao Xun had long been accustomed to this kind of official scene. He chuckled and said, "Of course I am here to investigate the case."

Magistrate Kou was shocked by Zhao Xun's words.

Investigation?

What case to investigate?

What other cases can be investigated?

There has been a lot of trouble in Chang'an City recently, but it's all caused by monsters and northern barbarians.

It was rumored that many northern barbarians had sneaked into Chang'an City and acted as traitors, trying to open the gates of Chang'an City to allow the northern barbarian troops moving south to enter the city.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious and ordered the bad guys to take charge of the investigation. All major government offices in the capital cooperated with the bad guys in investigating the case.

And the general manager of the investigation was none other than the extremely popular Zhao Xun and Zhao Mingyun.

"There is a northern barbarian named Jie Ligu in Xingshanfang within the jurisdiction of Wannian County. I looked at his file records as of yesterday, and there is no record after that. The record above is that he disappeared."

Zhao Xun explained the purpose of his visit simply and neatly, and then said sternly: "How can a good person disappear? According to my opinion, this Jie Ligu is probably hiding."

"Ah this, this"

Magistrate Kou was panicked for a while.

He originally wanted to flatter Zhao Xun, but who knew that Zhao Xun actually took the initiative to attack.

He was unprepared at this time.

"Lord Zhao, I don't know something, and I don't know much about these specific situations. Come on, please bring the person in charge of the Xingshanfang search to me as soon as possible."

Magistrate Kou groaned secretly in his heart.

It is true that he is the top leader in Wannian County, but it is impossible for him to know everything.

If that were the case, he would have to die from exhaustion sooner or later.

The highest state of being an official is to release all the power and be able to take it back when it is critical.

This is what Magistrate Kou has always done.

His official prestige had been accumulated for a long time, and immediately after giving the order, a Yamen servant went to call for someone.

After about a cup of tea, I saw a short-built policeman in official uniform staggering in.

As soon as he entered the Yamen lobby, he kowtowed to the magistrate Kou and said, "I have seen the great master."

Magistrate Kou glared at this short-sighted guy: "I haven't seen Mr. Zhao yet."

Only then did the detective realize that he had made a mistake, and he quickly turned to Zhao Xun and kowtowed: "I have met Mr. Zhao."

"Master Zhao has some questions to ask you. You must answer them truthfully. You must not hide anything. Otherwise, you will not blame me for not caring about my feelings."

There was something in Magistrate Kou's words, as if he was warning the policeman.

All this was naturally seen by Zhao Xun, who knew that Magistrate Kou was warning the policeman.

Playing with the hidden rules of officialdom and winking in front of Zhao Xun?

It's a little too immature.

However, Zhao Xun had no intention of exposing it now, he wanted to see what the policeman said.

"Master Zhao, this Jie Ligu has been living in Xingshanfang. There is nothing weird about him every day. He just goes to the market to buy groceries and then goes home."

The detective swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "A few days ago, the imperial court ordered a search for the northern barbarians living in Chang'an City. The villain and his colleagues conducted a comprehensive search of the area. Later, it was discovered that this person suddenly disappeared.

Then I reported it to the county magistrate."

"Tsk tsk"

Zhao Xun glanced at the Chaokou County Magistrate with amusement, and then said: "You mean that before the imperial court issued the order, Wannian County did not strictly control the northern barbarians living in Chang'an?"

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was open, its control over the Hu people, especially the northern barbarians, was quite strict.
