At the inn, Lu Tianyou guessed that the county order of Chen County might be a disciple of the Daomen, and Lin Dai'er immediately shook her head and said, "No." Although the county order of Chen County is the respect of a county, the stone quarry of Chen County is not under the jurisdiction of the county yamen. According to Hou Muxin, it seems that the imperial court has set up a special yamen, called ...... It is called the Quarry and Mining Department, and the quarry mining is managed by the Quarry and Mines Department and the Department of Households. ”

At the beginning, Hou Muxin took everyone to retreat to the Machigu Stone Field, Lin Daier didn't know anything about the stone field before, and listened to Hou Muxin let everyone pretend to be a miner, for safety, he had to ask Hou Muxin a few words, and he had a little understanding of the stone field, knowing that the stone field was not under the jurisdiction of the county government, but was managed by another yamen.

At that time, Lin Dai'er only felt that the Daomen was indeed quite capable, but at this time, when she thought about it, she felt that she could hide in the stone field without revealing traces, which was definitely not simple, maybe as she thought, the disciples of the Heavenly Gate had developed to the official mansion.

Lu Tianyou said: "Could it be that the people of the Daomen are living in the Ministry of Stone Mines?" ”

"It's less likely that the Bureau of Mines and Mines will manage the finances." Lin Daier said: "The Department of Households manages the mining and sales, and it is said that the Department of Households is also responsible for recruiting miners. ”

"Then it must be someone from the Department of Households." Hou Muxin said thoughtfully: "If we can hide in the Machiya Stone Field without revealing traces, I'm afraid only the high-ranking officials of the Department of Household Affairs can do it...... Dale, where are those weapons hidden now? ”

Lin Dai'er shook her head and said, "I don't know the specific whereabouts now." ”

Lu Tianyou was stunned.

"We withdrew that batch of weapons and equipment to less than fifteen miles away from Heishui Mountain, and according to Hou Muxin's words, they were all placed in a forest." Lin Daier explained: "He said that someone would answer, so don't worry about it." At that time, we had to deal with the Praetorian Guard, so we did as he said, and transported all the weapons to the designated place, and then the weapons were gone, and I guess it must have been the people from the Daomen who took them away. ”

Lu Tianyou said: "In this way, if we want to contact the Daomen, we need to go to Tongzhou City to find out the situation of the Household Department." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Dai'er, this trip is dangerous and unknown, you stay here and wait, I will go to Tongzhou City alone to inquire and see if there is a chance to contact the people of Daomen." ”

Lin Dai'er had already picked up her boots and put them on, and said, "Do you think I'll stay here alone?" ”

Lu Tianyou smiled reluctantly and said, "Okay." But let's change our clothes and go to Tongzhou, this is not possible. ”

……

……

In the county jail, Chen Chong watched the old and weak women and children brought by the Praetorian Guards being put in the prison, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and didn't know that he had been unusually cruel in the Machiya Stone Field, and he really couldn't understand why the chaotic party was just some old and weak women and children.

It was Guo Yang who sent the prisoner, although Guo Yang was only a general of the Praetorian Guard, but his status was by no means lower than Chen Chong, and Chen Chong was still groveling and panicked.

"Lord Chen, please!" Chen Chong saw that the rebellious party was all imprisoned, and was about to lead everyone out, when he suddenly heard Guo Yang's faint voice from behind, and hurriedly said: "My lord, please, my lord!" ”

He only thought that Guo Yang was being polite to him, and turned around, only to find that a Praetorian Guard soldier was pulling a flash of the cell door, Guo Yang was standing aside, his hand on the hilt of the knife, and looking at him with a strange look.

Chen Chong's heart sank and said in a trembling voice: "My lord...... What does this mean, sir? ”

Guo Yang said lightly: "Lord Commander has an order, please Lord Chen rest here for a while, don't worry, I won't starve you!" ”

Chen Chong still wanted to speak, but looking at Guo Yang's cold face and the steady and powerful hand holding the knife, he sighed and walked into the prison in a proper manner.

When Guo Yang walked out of the county jail, Wei Tianqing was waiting outside, stepped forward and said, "My lord, it's done." ”

"I'll leave twenty men under your leadership, and they'll stay here." Wei Tianqing said.

The military order is like a mountain, Guo Yang didn't ask why, he just said yes.

At this time, the sky had already brightened, and a person walked over quickly, but it was the county lieutenant of Chen County, who knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, the horses of the county government have all been gathered, a total of twenty-eight horses. ”

Wei Tianqing nodded and said: "Very good, you stay here and wait for General Guo Lang's orders, after this matter, I will give the Governor a letter to ask for credit for you." ”

"The little ones don't dare to take credit." The county lieutenant was happy, "I am willing to go to the soup for the adults!" ”

Wei Tianqing nodded with satisfaction, and came out of the back door of the county office, behind the county office, the people and horses were being prepared, and they got some horses in the stone field, plus the county government brought up, there were also sixty or seventy horses.

Wei Tianqing came out and instructed General Fei Lang: "General Fei Lang, I will rush to Tongzhou with Master Lin first, and you will lead people to follow." ”

Ferrand will say yes.

Lord Lin had already mounted his horse at this time, and sixty or seventy Praetorian Guards, including Chu Huan, also turned over and got on his horse at this time, Lord Lin shook the reins of his horse, and the flying horse galloped out, and a rumbling sound soon sounded behind him, and the waves swept across the long street.

Chen County is not close to Tongzhou.

A group of men and horses galloped and rode non-stop, and at noon, they took a short rest on the middle of the road to eat dry food.

Wei Tianqing saw Chu Huan sitting on the side of the road, approached the past, took out a small wine bag from his arms, took a sip, handed it to Chu Huan, and said softly: "Brother Chu, are you still thinking about last night?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head, but the expression on his face was quite solemn.

Wei Tianqing asked, "What's on your mind?" ”

"Brother Wei, little brother took the liberty to ask, is it because I found something in Tongzhou?" Chu Huan lowered his voice and said.

Wei Tianqing hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "The Machiya Stone Field is hiding the rebel party, Lord Lin and I have already found out that we are involved in the Household Division, and this time we went to Tongzhou to quickly control the Tongzhou Household Division. ”

"Brother Wei suspects that the Household Department has an accomplice to the rebellion?" Chu Huan was still dignified.

Wei Tianqing nodded and said, "This shouldn't be wrong." Control the Department of Households, find out Si Cao, and with Lord Lin here, he will definitely be able to wipe out the chaotic party hidden in the Tongzhou Mansion. He said in a low voice: "This matter can only be decided, and cannot be delayed, if it is a step too late, and the chaos of the household department gets the news, I am afraid that they will escape." ”

Chu Huan nodded slightly and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

Wei Tianqing felt that Chu Huan must be worried, and asked, "Brother Chu, do you have anything to say?" ”

Chu Huan hesitated, looked at Wei Tianqing, and said, "Brother Wei, junior brother took the liberty to say that if you go straight to control the Household Department at this time, I am afraid that you will have to startle the snake." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wei Tianqing frowned.

Since Chu Huan opened his mouth, he didn't hide it, and said, "Brother Wei, do you remember those weapons?" ”

"Naturally, I remember." Wei Tianqing said: "It's just that I haven't found the whereabouts of those weapons and equipment in the Machiya Stone Field, but I don't know where they are hiding." However, if the chaotic party can be found out from the household department, the whereabouts of those weapons must also be revealed. ”

Chu Huan sighed secretly.

Wei Tianqing's martial arts are not weak, and he trains his troops well, but when it comes to power and trickery, it seems that he is still weaker.

"Brother Wei, last time we came to Tongzhou, there was a person who disappeared out of thin air, do you remember?"

Wei Tianqing said: "You mean Duan Xun of thousands of households in Tongzhou Ying?" ”

"Yes." Chu Huan nodded and said, "According to Lord Zhao, the governor of Tongzhou, Duan Xun controls the checkpoint intersection in Tongzhou. Traffic, the goods vehicles on the ground in Tongzhou, are all under the control of Duan Xun. It's just that this person suddenly disappeared later, and even premeditated to poison Lord Zhao......! ”

Wei Tianqing frowned, he seemed to feel something, but he found that his brain was a little messy, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, and said softly: "Brother Chu, you may not know that Shenyi Wei Sun Baihu has come to Tongzhou not long ago to investigate the whereabouts of those weapons and Duan Xun, but until today, there is no news, and it is as if ......it is missing!" ”

"That's even weirder." Chu Huan said: "A large number of weapons can enter Heishui Mountain and hide through the various checkpoints in Tongzhou, but Duan Xun, who is responsible for controlling the pass of the Tongzhou checkpoint, suddenly disappeared, and Sun Baihu, who came to investigate, is nowhere to be found...... Brother Wei, with so many strange things together, things are not simple. If Duan Xun is not involved with the chaotic party, he will never let go of the position of a thousand households and not disappear suddenly, if there are also people in the household department who are involved with the chaotic party, then the household department and Duan Xun are very likely to be related...... It's just that in the entire Tongzhou, is it really only Duan Xun and the Hubu Division who are implicated in the chaotic party? Are there other yamen who also have complicit in the rebellion? If you go to check the household department at this time, will you startle the snake? ”

When Wei Tianqing heard Chu Huan say this, he felt that things were not simple.

At this moment, Lord Lin in the distance had already turned over and mounted his horse, which meant to let everyone go on the road.

Wei Tianqing hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words, and then saw Lord Lin dismount again, and followed Wei Tianqing to Chu Huan's side, but the three of them were at a distance from everyone and were talking about something.

Li Zongquan was also in this group of people, and when he saw Chu Huan with Wei Tianqing and Master Lin, his face was gloomy and he snorted coldly.

Wei Tianqing told Lord Lin about Chu Huan's doubts at this time, and Lord Lin was expressionless, groaning slightly, before asking Chu Huan: "You mean, the Tongzhou Government is not just a household department involved?" ”

Chu Huan said: "I don't dare to speculate indiscriminately, but since the adults know that there is a problem with the household department, it cannot be ruled out that there is no problem with other yamen in Tongzhou." ”

Lord Lin put his hands behind his back, pondered for a while, and finally said, "It seems that things are more complicated than I thought, this Tongzhou ...... There is one. ”

Wei Tianqing frowned and said, "If there is really one, then who will compile this one?" ”

Lord Lin stared at Chu Huan and said, "Chu Huan, who do you think it will be?" ”

"I don't know what I do."

"You must have an idea in your heart." Lord Lin said: "Last night, you disobeyed the military order and originally returned to Fucheng, I wanted Governor Qiao to deal with it again, but if you can really atone for your crimes, I will give you a chance." ”

Chu Huan said calmly: "There is no evidence to prove who is a rebel party. ”

"I don't need proof." Lin Dadao: "There are only three of us here, who do you think of in your heart, even if you say it, it is wrong, it doesn't matter." ”

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "If he can really make up one in Tongzhou, he needs the ability to control various yamen, there are not many such people in Tongzhou!" ”

Wei Tianqing couldn't help but say, "Could it be Zhao Guangqing, the governor of Tongzhou?" ”
