Late July is the turn of summer and autumn, and the heat is still in full swing, and then, at this moment, Zhao Quan's room is burning a charcoal stove, the charcoal fire in the furnace is red, and a few mushrooms are baking on the stove. These mushrooms have been dried up and even crispy.

Although Zhao Quan was shirtless, he was still hot and sweaty, he twisted a piece of dried mushrooms, rubbed his hands hard, and the mushrooms suddenly crumbled into powder and fell.

Zhao Quan kneaded all the mushrooms into powder and put them into a porcelain bottle, and at this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door of the room.

"Who?" Zhao Quan let out a low sigh.

"Senior Brother Zhao, it's me!" The voice of the mixed-race girl Xue Bingxin came in from outside.

Zhao Quan frowned, immediately poured water into the charcoal stove to extinguish the coals, and then put the charcoal stove back in an inconspicuous corner, then cleaned his hands and put on his clothes, walked over and opened the door.

Xue Bingxin looked at Zhao Quan, who was sweating profusely, strangely, wrinkled her nose and asked, "What smell, Senior Brother Zhao is burning something?" ”

Zhao Quan nodded casually and said, "I just burned some confidential letters, Senior Sister Xue has something to do with me?" ”

Xue Bingxin suddenly said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Qiu rode out of the city just now, and secretly carried a two-stone bow. ”

"Idiot!" Zhao Quan couldn't help but curse secretly, he had received the news this morning, Xu Jin escorted the prisoner out of Fan County to Yuncheng County, Qiu Fu rode out of the city at this time, and also brought a two-stone bow, 100% wanted to assassinate Xu Jin on the way.

"Chase, be sure to get the monkey back!" Zhao Quan hurriedly ran out of the room, you must know that Xu Jin is guarded by a hundred Jinhu guards, and there are also two thousand Linqing guards to escort him, the idiot of the monkey is obviously looking for death, and if he doesn't get it, he will expose everyone.

Xue Bingxin was about to chase out, but suddenly stopped and turned back, picked up a shriveled mushroom stalk on the ground next to the table, put it under her nose and sniffed it, and her slender willow eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

……

Yuncheng County is about more than 100 miles away from Fan County, Xu Jin set off before dawn with the prisoners, fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and it didn't rain all day, so he rushed to Yuncheng County at dusk that day.

The disaster situation in Yuncheng County is far less serious than that of Fan County, but the county's Changping position has been shorted by nearly seventy percent, and three of the officials have been imprisoned in the capital.

Soon after Xu Jin arrived, the eunuch Huang Jin also arrived with the prisoners of Puzhou, and greeted Xu Jin with a spring breeze on his face after getting off the horse.

When all the prisoners were arranged to be imprisoned in the county office, it was already completely dark, and after Xu Jin settled down, he went to Xiao Huai's residence to discuss matters.

Xiao Huai's face was cold, he was originally an upright minister who couldn't rub the sand with his eyes, the officials of Yanzhou Mansion were so corrupt, the government officials, county officials, and local health offices were all in collusion to steal and sell official food, and the ones that had been identified alone were as high as 30,000 stones, and those who had not been found out were probably ten times as much, how could he not be angry? The murderous aura in his chest was almost overflowing.

Xiao Huai said in a deep voice: "Ziqian, the old man's eight-hundred-mile expedited recital has been approved by the emperor, and the Ministry of War has also issued an order. ”

"Okay, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the common people should all be caught and killed." Huang Jin clapped his hands and said, this product is addicted, so he naturally thinks that the more people he catches, the better.

……

Zila...... Rumble......

A miserable white electric light pierced the night sky, and in the rumbling thunder, the rain poured down, and the raindrops the size of beans knocked on the roof of the yamen cell, making a dense crackling sound, and the eaves flowed into a huge rain curtain.

In the cell, Song Chi, the prefect of Yanzhou, Zhang Wensheng, the commander of Yanzhouwei, Zhao Fengchun, the magistrate of Fanxian County, the county magistrate and the county Cheng, the third-in-command of Yuncheng County, the third-in-command of Caozhou, and the third-in-command of Puzhou, more than a dozen people gathered together, which can be regarded as a great spectacle.

Song Chi, Zhang Wensheng, and Zhao Fengchun were locked up in the same cell, and the others were locked up in the same county, looking at each other without saying a word through the iron fence, all of them were like mourning filial piety. Especially Guo Gang, the governor of Puzhou, didn't even dare to fart when he lowered his head, and it was precisely because the account book he kept privately was confiscated by Huang Jin that Song Chi, Zhang Wensheng, and Zhao Fengchun, the three "big guys", were arrested, which was simply a pitfall. If it weren't for the iron fence, Zhao Fengchun would have wanted to rush over and kill this "black sheep".

After being silent for a long time, Song Chi suddenly raised his head and said to himself: "This rain is really heavy, and it is possible that the Yellow River will lack an embankment again." ”

Gou Zhixian and the others couldn't help but look at each other, but Zhao Fengchun and Zhang Wensheng had slightly changed their faces, their eyes were expectant and nervous, and there was a trace of madness.

……

The torrential rain lasted all night, and the streets of Yuncheng County were so watery that they could not completely recede until about 9 o'clock in the morning, and in the afternoon, a fast horse arrived from Puzhou upstream, reporting that there was a pipe gushing leak in the embankment near Puzhou, and reported to the Qin Cha for determination.

The leakage of the pipe gushing is the harbinger of the imminent collapse of the embankment, and once it is not dealt with in time, the consequences are unimaginable, and it just so happens that the chief officials of Puzhou have been arrested, and there is no one in charge of the overall situation in the county government.

Xiao Huai didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to Puzhou with Xu Jin and Jinyi guards to deal with the danger, while the eunuch Huang Jin was responsible for interrogating the prisoners in Yuncheng, and two thousand Linqing guards were also stationed in Puzhou.

Drive......

Xiao Huai and Xu Jin led three hundred brocade guards out of the west gate of Yuncheng County and galloped in the direction of Puzhou.

A guy wearing a hat was leading a horse on the straight road into the city, and when he saw hundreds of brocade guards who suddenly rushed out, he hurriedly led the horse to hide beside the road, and when he saw Xu Jin who was surrounded by brocade guards, his eyes suddenly lit up, and after the brocade guard horse team galloped, he immediately turned the horse head and tail to chase down.

This person is not another person, it is the thin man Qiu Fu who has been tracking all the way, this guy originally wanted to assassinate Xu Jin on the road, but Xu Jin was escorted by two thousand Linqing guards, and Qiu Fu did not find a suitable assassination opportunity along the way yesterday.

Later, Xu Jin entered the county seat of Yuncheng, Qiu Fu was worried about being discovered by the city gate guards because he carried a two-stone bow, so he found a forest outside the city to hide overnight, but in the middle of the night, the heavy rain poured down, thunder and lightning were handed over, the horses were frightened and ran away, and Qiu Fu searched for a morning the next day to find it.

After Qiu Fu retrieved the horse, he hid the Ershi bow in the grass next to the official road, and led the horse into the city to find an opportunity to assassinate Xu Jin, but as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he met Xu Jin out of the city, and there were only a few hundred brocade guards around him.

Qiu Fu couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is really in response to the sentence "There is a way in heaven, you don't go, and hell has no way to vote", Xu Jin, you are dead this time!

Qiu Fu retrieved the two-stone bow from the grass next to the official road and chased after it along the horse's hoof print.
