Chapter 230 The Unexpected Incident
The birthday card was robbed again, and the entire Jingdong and Hebei government were searching for the culprits, and the focus was on the Jeju government where the accident happened.

"Your Majesty, what else is there to investigate, just say that the Liangshan bandits robbed him!"

Kong Mu in the mansion looked at the prefect and said, Cai Taishi and Liang Zhongshu were furious when the birth plan was robbed, and they all came to urge the officials to solve the case, and they must give an answer.

"You think it's simple, then Cai Taishi and Liang Zhongshu are easy to deceive? You don't have any evidence and you want them to believe it."

The magistrate said with a bitter face, Cai Jing was the grand master of the dynasty, the head of hundreds of officials, he had been in the officialdom for many years, and he had been in the position of prime minister several times; Northern Liao people.How can these two people be deceived by just a word?

"Evidence? This..."

When it comes to evidence, the officials of the Jeju government are worried. The last time Jeju was defeated, more than half of the soldiers were lost. The regiment trainer Huang An and the arresting envoy He Tao are still locked in Liangshan. How can anyone dare to go out of the city to find evidence by the water?

"This is the birthday card. Don't lose it early or late. Why did you lose it in Huangnigang? That place is at the border of Jeju. It only takes two days to leave Jeju. It has nothing to do with us."

The prefect of Jeju has a bitter expression on his face. Ever since Sun Lei, the Monkey King, came to Liangshanbo, he, the prefect of Jeju, has not had a single day of peace and stability. If he didn't mention the birthday card, his money would be wasted.

"Enxiang, there is not enough manpower in the mansion now, how about recruiting talents to serve as officials in order to suppress thieves?"

A patrol inspector said.

"Get a list!"

The magistrate waved his hand, this is something for later, what he wants is a solution to the immediate problem.

"Master Zhifu, there are officials from the Grand Master's Mansion here."

A policeman came in to report, followed by a policeman in his 30s.

"The officials of the government have come to work hard, the officials have already prepared a banquet, please move to the back hall..."

The magistrate of Jeju quickly greeted him, and the messenger from the Taishi's mansion was the third-level official.

"How can a villain be in the mood to have a banquet? Here is a letter from the grand master, and the magistrate is limited to solve the case within ten days. If not, the magistrate will go to Salmonella Island in person!"

The governor took out Cai Jing's handwritten letter and handed it to the prefect of Jeju. He would naturally be willing to accept some bribes if he went out to do errands on weekdays.

"There is another matter. The military equipment sent by the Daming Mansion to Tokyo was also robbed. Three hundred soldiers are missing. The Privy Council has supervised the investigation. It seems that they are also in Jeju."

The governor looked at the prefect of Jeju and said.

"And this matter!"

The magistrate of Jeju panicked. He offended the grand master Cai Jing on one birthday. If he can't do it well, his life will be ruined. Isn't this driving him to death?

"Master Zhifu, there is a deadline of ten days. Hurry up. I will be in Jeju in ten days to wait for the good news from Lord Prefect."

The government officials bowed their hands and left.

"Let me go and check. After ten days, I can't find the thief. If I go to Salmonella Island, you can't even think about it!"

The magistrate looked at all the officials in the mansion and shouted.

Jeju prefecture, including the counties under the administration, started a massive search and soon there was news that He Qing, the younger brother of He Tao, the former arresting envoy, reported that he had seen Chao Gai and Bai Sheng in disguise at a hotel near Huangnigang on the day of the incident. The waiters are dressed as jujube sellers and wine sellers, and the number of people matches.

The magistrate of Jeju saw that he could do business, and immediately sent people to Yuncheng, so that Yuncheng County sent people to arrest him.

"Chao Gai? Did you make a mistake on your mission? This Chao Gai lives in Dongxi Village for a long time. He is a bold and loyal person. He was promoted as the Baozheng of Dongxi Village. How could he grab the birthday card?"

Song Jiang looked at the document in his hand and quickly looked at the person who came and said.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Bai Sheng has confessed after being beaten all night. It was Chao Gai and others who did it. Where is the county magistrate? Tell me quickly to arrest the criminal!"

Kong Mu, the messenger who came, urged.

"The mission came at an unfortunate time. The county magistrate took over the case in the morning and took a group of officials to the countryside to handle the case. I'm afraid I won't be able to return until dark. Now it's just me and a few servants in the mansion."

Song Jiang quickly replied.

"Then you still don't send someone to call back, and you Yuncheng County will never get better if you run away as a thief!"

Kong Mu looked at Song Jiang and urged.

"Don't worry on the mission, Song Jiang went home to get the horse, and now he's going to the countryside!"

Song Jiang pretended to be in a hurry and entered the back hall of the county yamen, but instead of going home, he picked up his horse and went straight to Dongxi Village.

In the afternoon, Song Jiang returned to Yuncheng County together with the county magistrate Shi Wenbin.

"Shi county magistrate, this is a case named by Taishi Cai, why are you so slack!"

Kong Mu was very annoyed at Shi Wenbin's late return, but he waited for a long time.

"It's all because of Song Jiang's fear of internal affairs. When he returned home, he was entangled by his concubine. It was too late to quarrel!"

Song Jiang was afraid that he would go to Dongxi Village to report the letter, so he hurriedly found an excuse. After all, he spared a lot of time. There was more than an hour's delay in this time, and it was difficult to make up. It's revealed.

"Song Yasi, you still care about being intimate with my concubine at this moment, do you know that the matter is serious?"

After hearing this, Kong Mu had no choice but to vent his anger on Song Jiang.

"Brother Song Jiang took a new concubine. He is busy with official duties and seldom returns home. It is inevitable that there will be some complaints. Kong Mu appeases his anger!"

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng helped smooth things over.

"Magistrate Shi, here is the official document of the magistrate, please send troops to catch the thief."

Kong Mu didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed the prefect's official document to Shi Wenbin.

"Chao Gai is also a well-known hero, why did he do such a thing. Zhu Dian and Lei Heng listened to the order and ordered you two to gather soldiers and horses, and go to Dongxi Village to take Chao Gai back."

Shi Wenbin read the official document and immediately gave orders to Zhu Dian and Lei Heng.

Zhu Dian and Lei Heng quickly assembled their troops and headed towards Dongxi Village.

"Chao Gai and I have a good relationship. The last time I saved someone was thanks to Chao Gai's help. He even paid for me to help me. I will definitely protect him this time."

Zhu Tie thought to himself, right and wrong are worthless in front of relationships, even if Chao Gai really committed a serious crime, he would be able to forgive him.

"Brother Lei, it's getting dark, tell your subordinates to slow down, don't slip and hurt your feet, and you will need someone later."

Zhu Tong looked at Lei Heng and said.

"Don't worry... Brothers, I've been tired for a day, walk slowly, and keep your feet strong!"

Lei Heng didn't know what Zhu Dian meant, Chao Gai was a righteous person, and he often got benefits that he couldn't do anything about, let alone Zhu Dian who had a good relationship with Chao Gai.

After dark, Zhu Dian and Lei Heng arrived at Dongxi Village. Chaojiazhuang had already been emptied, so they searched casually and found that there was no one there, so they led their troops back to Yuncheng to report.

The thief ran away, and Kongmu of Jeju Prefecture had no choice but to urge the county magistrate of Yuncheng to search and arrest the whole county, and issued a wanted order, and he would return to Jeju as well.
