Chapter 490: Something Wrong!
"Yes, the subordinates are also very surprised, it is said that the treatment of the Ma Arsenal is the best in the entire Han Dynasty, many craftsmen would rather walk thousands of miles and risk their lives than come here to be a low-level craftsman of black iron. But I don't know why......." Han Feng said leisurely, this matter was originally very small, but it was weird, so he brought it up at the regular meeting.
But Ma Chao's heart set off a monstrous wave at this time, and all the events in his mind were summarized and linked at this moment: Li Dao Guo Yan raised troops, the imperial court first appeased and then disbanded the edict, Liu Yue automatically participated in the activities of the Chamber of Commerce, the arsenal craftsman escaped, and today he was drugged, and he was ordered to return to Chang'an Province to .......
A series of events may seem unrelated, but if there is an important point strung together, it will be clear!
"Zidu! In the chamber of commerce activities that Liu Yue has attended in the past few days, can there be a foreign chamber of commerce, and they have already come out to help the wind today? Ma Chao's heart suddenly moved, and he opened his mouth to ask Meng Da.
"This ......." is not that Meng Da is incompetent, but that Ma Chao's question is too sudden, even if he wants to check, he has to go back to the household department to check the entry and exit records of the merchants.
"There are three, all of which are shops in Chang'an. And, as the lord said, he left Fufeng City this morning, I don't know, what's the problem? Seeing that Meng Da was silent, the ugly brother spoke. After all, these days, the shadow has not relaxed its surveillance of Liu Yue at all.
"Shops in Chang'an?" Ma Chao's brows furrowed even tighter, and he almost squeezed out a trace of voice from between his teeth: "How many days have they been here to help the wind?" ”
"It's been more than seven days, and it's just when Princess Wannian began to contact the Chamber of Commerce." The ugly brother also faintly felt that things were not ordinary, and replied with solemn eyebrows.
"That's right!" Ma Chao sneered on his face, he finally found the flaw! Then his face turned cold, and he said to Meng Da: "Zidu, carefully check with me the transactions that these three merchants have been operating in Fufeng these days, and the information about the places they have visited!" ”
"Let's go to the household department to get the report record!" At this time, if Meng Da hadn't seen the seriousness of the incident, then he would not be the future head of the household.
Meng Da almost trotted all the way back to his office, and after a while, he returned with a stack of materials. After a while, he handed Ma Chao a few registrations.
Ma Chao looked at it, and his eyes immediately changed!
After reading it carefully, Ma Chao took the case. His face was originally a little hesitant, but then a hint of absoluteness flashed!
Zhang ...... Ma Dai! Quickly straighten out your subordinates, follow me out to help the wind, and be sure to intercept the carriage of the princess of Wannian! "Ma Chao originally wanted Zhang Liao's Yanbei to ride together, after all, Zhang Liao's subordinate Yanbei rode all short and good horses from Bingzhou, compared to Xiliang Dama, although the explosive power is not strong, but the victory is long-lasting, which is convenient for pursuit. But between blurting out, he changed his choice.
First, Liu Yue had just left, and it was a caravan and a carriage, so he must not have gone far. Second, Ma Dai is his own person, no matter what happens after catching up with Liu Yue, he will stand on his side without hesitation. After all, Zhang Liao is still a new general, and he may still have some fetters on the Han family. Therefore, at the critical moment, Ma Chao still chose Ma Dai.
Ma Dai took the order, didn't ask anything at all, just hugged his fists and took the order, and went out to prepare. Zhang Liao didn't say anything about this matter, he knew that he might not have fully gained Ma Chao's trust. And Ma Chao's trust may only be earned by time and military exploits.
But after everyone listened to Ma Chao's order, their faces changed, and Hua Xin couldn't help but exclaim: "Lord! Intercept...... Send troops to intercept the princess? Those princes and envoys also returned with the princess, and if this matter spreads, even if the lord is the princess's husband, it is not trivial......."
Ma Chao's face was gloomy, and he said hatefully: "Chang'an comes and goes freely, not to mention that she is a princess!" Now the matter is urgent, there is no choice! Also, Hua Ziyu, I hope this matter is better without your involvement! At this time, Ma Chao was really angry, and he was naturally ruthless. He originally thought that after Liu Yue married into the Ma family, his mind would also change with his identity. But I didn't want to, Liu Yue really played him a trick!
When Hua Xin heard Ma Chao say this, he was awe-inspired, and Nuo Nuo retreated. But Fa Zheng said: "If you bring ropes and nets, if they resist, you can catch them alive.......
Ma Chao didn't have a correct opinion, his face was covered with frost, and he said in a deep voice: "No need, if they dare to resist, I will let them know that the majesty of the Ma family cannot be provoked!" ”
These words were said coldly, and some newcomers understood what kind of existence the Ma family was. And at this time, Ma Dai had also come back to reply: "Brother, everything is ready, do you want to leave immediately?" ”
"Good!" Ma Chao stood up violently, but then sat down again, frowned and thought for a moment, and then began to order: "Pound! Let you lead your subordinates out together, search all the roads from Fufeng to Chang'an along the way, and do this big thing for me!" ”
"Subordinates obey!" Pound has followed Ma Chao for many years, so he naturally understands the meaning of this major event at this time.
"Zhang Liao! You quickly sent your men with excellent horsemanship to order Zhou Cang Liaohua of Qinguan to guard the city gate and not allow Liu Yue to cross Qinguan! Let Yang Feng and Liang Xing lead their subordinates to ride out of the customs and search along the way! ”
"Subordinates obey!" Zhang Liao was overjoyed, although Ma Chao didn't let him follow the search directly, he didn't seem to treat him as an outsider.
"Huang Yuan! Mobilize the shadows to investigate Liu Yue's movements and report at any time! After thinking about it, Ma Chao opened his mouth again and ordered the ugly brother.
"Subordinates obey!"
These orders were taken together, even if a stupid person was, he could see that Liu Yue had made a lot of incidents this time. I sweated a handful of sweat in my heart for the stormy Han family, and then turned into a sneer: If it's not good to provoke anyone, I want to provoke the Ma family.......
Ma Chao had already walked to the door of the hall at this time, looked back and said: "Today's matter, you must keep your mouth shut, if you leak a trace of information, military law will deal with it!" ”
"No!" Everyone agreed coldly, and at that time, Ma Chao stepped onto the elephant dragon BMW, pointed his spear, and left.
The huge hall of the county guard's mansion suddenly became a little deserted. And Fa Zheng, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, waited for everyone to leave, took the record on Ma Chao's desk and looked at the handwriting on it carefully: Five days ago, Chang'an Xinglong Shop purchased 4,500 catties of refined salt from Ma's Arsenal; Four days ago, the Hejia shop in Chang'an purchased 600 catties of distilled liquor from the Ma's Arsenal; Three days ago, Chang'an Tongyuan shop purchased 2,000 catties of Fufeng paper........
Fa Zheng frowned, as if he hadn't seen through the trick yet, he couldn't help but flip through the records on it again, and saw that Han Feng's report read: The craftsmen of the Ma Arsenal rioted on a small scale, and the four new craftsmen spread rumors that the Ma Family Arsenal was dark, intending to stir up the emotions of the craftsmen, but to no avail. Diving and escaping in the evening of the second day, General Huang led his troops in pursuit, and at noon, the bodies of four people were found in the woods fifty miles east of the city. After verification, the four people were devoured by wild beasts, and they did not recognize their faces......."
'On the way to escape, run to the hillside and the forest? Seeing this, Fa Zheng grinned: Since these four people have fled, why don't they flee separately? Even if you want to be a companion, but you don't hide in the city, you run to the hillside and the wild forest, and let the beast eat it?!
Joke!! This is clearly a move to cover your ears and steal the bell!
And if these two pieces of information were connected, Fa Zheng finally figured out the mystery, and couldn't help muttering: "Woman...... Just don't accept fate. The more noble the woman, the more so. Did she think that politics was really something that women like them could play? ”
