Chapter 90: Secret Investigation

Hong Chengchou realized that he was too impulsive, and at the same time he was very conflicted. He hoped that the grain robbery in Hancheng had nothing to do with Mao Wenlong, but he also hoped that it was him.

According to the clues he has so far, he is the only one who is the most suspicious object. If he fails to find the culprit of the grain robbery this time, Hong Chengchou realizes that he is likely to be condemned by Yang He after he goes back.

It is not even ruled out that Yang He will let himself carry the black pot in the end and bear all the consequences this time. This is the rule of officialdom, and Yang He, as his boss, also has this power.

Although he may be somewhat implicated, it does not hurt, and his governor remains firm. The only thing that needs to be done is to come up with a substitute for the dead and take all the blame for it.

Tens of thousands of troops have been robbed of grain and grass for half a year, and once this crime is implemented, even if he has ten heads, it will not be enough to cut off. And it is very likely that it will affect the people in the family, you must know that the emperor at this time is quite evil, and he will kill if he disagrees, and he will never be soft.

In the morning, I tested Mao Wenlong's reaction, although I didn't get any clues, and I didn't find anything. Hong Chengchou still stubbornly believes that the grain robbery has something to do with him.

If the bright ones don't work, just come to the dark ones, and if they don't check it thoroughly, Hong Chengchou will definitely not give up easily. After the morning temptation was fruitless, he let Mao Wenlong go back safely, and he himself temporarily lived in the county office.

After Mao Wenlong separated from Hong Chengchou in the county office, he went back to Mao's mansion directly. Hong Chengchou's reactions before and after were diametrically opposed, which made Mao Wenlong very puzzling.

At the same time, he also knew that things would never settle down so simply, and Hong Chengchou would not just give up. But now Hong Chengchou doesn't make a move, and Mao Wenlong has no way of knowing what he plans to do next.

Now I can only take one step at a time, anyway, Mao Wenlong has already done what should be done, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the mansion, he saw a shadow rushing over, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Hong Ziyan with a happy face. Mao Wenlong didn't want to open his hands to hug her.

"Xianggong, where is my father? Why didn't you see him come back with you? Hong Ziyan is still looking forward to her father's arrival again.

After all, if you are with Mao Wenlong without the blessing of your family, there will always be a trace of frustration in your heart. If she can marry Mao Wenlong with Hong Chengchou's consent this time, this will allow Hong Ziyan to let go of all the worries in her heart and devote herself to Mao Wenlong's arms.

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment before he said with a haha: "Your father came to Ye County this time on official business, so it is inconvenient to come to the mansion. He's settled in the county government now, and if you really want to see him, I can arrange it for you. ”

At this time, Hong Ziyan hesitated, and only after a long time did she hear her say: "Daddy has official business, so I better not bother." Maybe he'll come to see me when he's done. ”

Looking at such a simple Hong Ziyan, Mao Wenlong suddenly felt that he was a beast. even such a simple woman was deceived.

From the very beginning, she pursued Hong Ziyan in order to be able to recruit her father, although Mao Wenlong did have true feelings for Hong Ziyan later.

But he couldn't tell her the truth, and now he has been hiding her in the dark. And this time, Hong Chengchou came violently, and there was a great possibility of competing with himself.

Once he really finds out something, the two of them will inevitably do it, and this will put Hong Ziyan in a dilemma.

Hong Ziyan's hand tightened, and Mao Wenlong secretly swore that this time he would not let Hong Chengchou know about the grain robbery no matter what. Not for anything else, just for Hong Ziyan in front of her!

comforted Hong Ziyan for a long time, Mao Wenlong finally made her happy, and after sending her back to the house, he found Chen Jisheng.

After repeatedly making sure that everything was in place in the barracks, Mao Wenlong was a little relieved. But Chen Jisheng's words made Mao Wenlong break out in a cold sweat.

According to Chen Jisheng, just now there were suddenly a lot of fresh faces in the city, although they were all dressed as ordinary people. But a discerning person can still easily tell that these people are all in the army, and it is very likely that they are spies sent by Hong Chengchou to secretly investigate.

Hong Chengchou ordered someone to secretly visit Ye County, obviously he was still suspicious of Mao Wenlong.

Chen Jisheng said worriedly: "According to Hong Chengchou's open investigation and secret visit, sooner or later we will be pulled out of the pigtails." ”

Don't let people know what they don't do unless they do, people are watching the sky, and there is no impermeable wall in the world. Proverbs flashed through Mao Wenlong's mind from time to time.

What's more, this grain robbery is not a trivial matter, and the movement is not small, even if Mao Wenlong hides it well afterwards. As long as you look carefully, it is not difficult to find flaws.

"It seems that the only way to do this is to find a way to get Hong Chengchou to leave Ye County as soon as possible!" After thinking about it carefully, Mao Wenlong could only think of this only way to solve the dilemma he was facing.

"Is it possible to let Hong Chengchou leave Ye County as soon as possible?" Chen Jisheng's brows furrowed even tighter. He really couldn't think of anything at this time that could make Hong Chengchou leave Ye County as soon as possible.

Mao Wenlong said firmly: "Even if it is impossible, it must be made possible, and now we can't turn our faces with the court, let alone openly act against the court." So we have to let Hong Chengchou leave as soon as possible! ”

Although Chen Jisheng listened to Mao Wenlong's resolute words, he saw the bitterness in his eyes. Obviously, Mao Wenlong is still clueless at this moment.

Things are man-made, success or failure is in the sky, Mao Wenlong doesn't want to admit defeat like this, he firmly believes that as long as he is willing to work hard, he will be able to think of a solution.

What's more, Mao Wenlong was originally a person of later generations and had a general understanding of the general trend of history. If there is no way for a person like him to hang up, then God is really going to kill him.

Ordering Chen Jisheng to go down and monitor the spies sent by Hong Chengchou, Mao Wenlong turned around and went back to his room. Shut himself in his room and ordered no one to disturb him.

Hearing such a thing, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were still very worried at first. Fortunately, Mao Wenlong also ordered afterwards that except for the three meals a day sent by the second daughter, no one else should come to disturb him.

This made the second daughter breathe a sigh of relief and didn't worry about him anymore.

Hong Chengchou almost sent out 2,000 of his subordinates, and he was determined to turn the entire Ye County upside down, digging three feet into the ground to find out any suspicious places in Mao Wenlong.

The county magistrate shrank in his house at the moment, and he didn't step out of the door, and he pretended not to know anything behind closed doors, and stayed in his house every day.

He can't afford to offend anyone, so he can only be a turtle with a shrunken head, no one will help or participate, in short, anything that happens outside has nothing to do with him.
