As soon as Wei Tianqing's words came out, he immediately shook his head and said, "This is unlikely. Zhao Guangqing is the governor of a state, and his official position is not low, so he has no reason to let go of a good official and not do it, but he goes to hook up with the chaotic party. He also said: "And in recent years, Zhao Guangqing has always been dedicated to quelling the chaos, if he is a disorderly party, why should he make great efforts to quell the chaos?" ”

Master Lin said lightly: "I don't think so. He pacified the rebels, and they were all rabble. However, the chaotic party is different, the chaotic party is well-planned and waiting for an opportunity to rise, which is not comparable to the chaotic people. ”

Wei Tianqing said: "Could it be that Lord Fei also suspects Zhao Guangqing? ”

Lord Lin didn't answer, as if he was thinking about something, and only said after a while: "Chu Huan is right, we entered the city at this time to startle the snake." ”

"My lord, what are we going to do?" Wei Tianqing frowned and said, "Do you want to ask the Governor?" ”

"It's too late." Lord Lin squinted his eyes and said: "If there is really such a picture in Tongzhou, they can hide it until today without a trace, they must be cautious, and their hands and feet are all over the sky." The matter on the side of the Machiya Stone Field will soon be exposed, and if it is known in advance by the Tongzhou Rebellion, the matter will become troublesome. ”

"My lord, either we will directly take Zhao Guangqing down for interrogation." Wei Tianqing couldn't help but said: "The so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, as long as the main culprit is taken, the others will not have to worry." ”

Lord Lin shook his head and said: "After all, Zhao Guangqing is the governor of a state, an important member of the imperial court, unless there is enough evidence or there is a holy will, he must not be moved lightly." Whether Zhao Guangqing is guilty or not, we are only speculating now, and there is no real evidence, if we rashly arrest a party leader and spread it, it will inevitably make the officials panic...... And at this time, Tongzhou cannot change. ”

Tongzhou, however, cannot be too chaotic.

Although the Western Liang Army suddenly stopped the momentum of the offensive, the Western Liang Army could still launch an attack at any time.

Yu Buqu is building a defensive line in the northwest and rectifying armaments, and the imperial court is also urgently collecting grain, grass, weapons and equipment.

Wei Tianqing frowned and said, "What do you think you should do next?" ”

"Into the city." Lin Dadao: "Quietly interrogate the household department Si Si Cao, as long as you ask who is the mastermind from his mouth, the official will know what to do." ”

Wei Tianqing believed this sentence.

He is not a fool, of course, he can also see that Lord Lin is a person of the Divine Guard, and he is a senior official of the Divine Guard, such a character makes a move, no matter how difficult it is to pry his mouth open, he will also reveal the rumors.

"Wei Tong, you don't have to enter the city first." Lord Lin immediately decided: "I entered the city to take the confession from Cao, the secretary of the household department, if this matter is really related to Zhao Guangqing, you will enter the city immediately and arrest Zhao Guangqing, without further ado, this official will leave now." ”

Wei Tianqing hurriedly said: "Do you want to be alone in danger?" ”

Lord Lin said lightly: "In the eyes of this official, there is never any danger." He said very confidently, but suddenly thought of something, and said: "But this official still needs someone to follow, and if there is a change, it is good to pass on the news." ”

Wei Tianqing immediately said: "Humble and wish!" ”

Lord Lin shook his head and said, "You stay and lead the Praetorian Guard." ”

"I would like to go with my lordship." Chu Huan finally said.

Master Lin smiled and said: "Chu Huan, you must know that for this official, there is no danger, but for you, it may not be the case, once there is a real change, we will be in the tiger's den." ”

Chu Huan said calmly: "I just want to make some merits, and I can also be rewarded after I go back." ”

Lord Lin laughed and said to Wei Tianqing: "As far as I know, there is a ravine fifteen miles outside the west of Tongzhou City, you can wait there. Then he said solemnly: "Chu Huan will come with me." Turned around and left, went to the side of the horse, turned over and got on the horse, Chu Huan also followed and got on the horse, all the guards saw it, thought they were going to set off, and immediately got on the horse, Wei Tianqing had already said in a deep voice: "Don't move." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing had already galloped away.

Qiao Yin got off the horse, came to Wei Tianqing's side, and couldn't help asking, "My lord, where are they going?" Why don't we follow? ”

Wei Tianqing said: "We have another place to go. "Not much to say.

……

Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing arrived at Tongzhou City at dusk, the city gate was not closed, Lord Lin was dressed as a businessman, and Chu Huan was dressed as a retinue, and the two entered the city without attracting anyone's attention.

The city is still very lively, this is the second time Chu Huan has come to Tongzhou City, the two of them are not in a hurry to go directly to the household department, but find a tavern, have a meal in the tavern, and by the way, inquire about the situation of some cities, it seems that outsiders have come to Tongzhou for the first time, and they are very curious about Tongzhou.

Xiao Er also has to answer questions, the two of them first have to find out the residence of the household department Si Cao, of course, they can't ask directly, find out that most of the officials live in Dongcheng, and wait until it gets dark outside, and then they go out and come to Dongcheng.

There are many mansions in Dongcheng, and for a while I really couldn't figure out the house of the Household Department Si Cao, passing by a mansion, I saw that the door of the mansion was closed, and there were two domestic servants standing in front of the door, Chu Huan turned over and dismounted, and asked with a smile: "Two, may I ask if this is the residence of the Household Department Si Cao?" ”

"Are you blind?" A domestic servant raised his hand and pointed to it: "This is the Xu Mansion, the residence of Lord Cao Xu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." ”

Chu Huan hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." We are strangers, and we came to look for Lord Cao, the secretary of the household department, to do something, but we don't know where his mansion is? ”

The servant also understood that there were so many people looking for officials to do business, so he pointed to the back and said, "Lord Gui's mansion is on the back street, and you can find it as soon as you go." ”

Chu Huan thanked him, and then turned his horse's head with Lord Lin and left.

Passing through the secluded street, Lord Lin smiled and said, "Chu Huan, what the official said to you last time, you can also think about it, and the official is willing to give you another chance." ”

"What did you say?"

"Join the Divine Guard." Lord Lin said softly, "You seem to be very suitable to be a god guard. ”

Chu Huan said: "The humble post will be reconsidered." ”

Lord Lin and Chu Huan went around to the back street, passed by the street, and really saw the Gui Mansion, but naturally they would not stop, passing in front of the door, and saw that the gate was closed, and there was not even anyone in front of the door.

The two of them went around in a circle in front of the house in Guifu, and then left quietly, found an inn, and actually stayed at the inn for more than an hour, and then left the inn, left the horses in the inn, and walked to Dongcheng.

When they arrived in Dedong City, the night was dark, and the two of them came to the backyard of Gui Mansion, the wall in the backyard was built very high, but for Lord Lin and Chu Huan, it was easy to climb over the high wall and fall into the courtyard.

In fact, the Gui Mansion is not very big, but the front and back yards are spacious, and there are not many houses in the house.

……

……

Cao Guilun, the secretary of the Tongzhou Household Department, attaches great importance to the way of health, in addition to paying great attention to the diet, and there are no special circumstances, he will go to bed early and get up early, he is only more than forty years old, and he is in the prime of his energy, but he is rarely close to women, and he cares very much about his body.

Although he has a wife and a concubine, the concubine room is at a good age, and the flowers and the moon are enchanting, but Gui Lun rarely rests in the room of his wife and concubine every month, and he likes to stay in the study.

Others only think that he quits being a woman and loves to read, but only Gui Lun himself knows that there are too many important things in the study, and only by staying here can his heart be steady.

There was silence all around, Gui Lun had also gone to the bed to rest, dazed, but he felt a cold in his throat, he had not yet fallen asleep and already knew that something was wrong, he didn't know what the cold thing on his neck was, but he felt that as long as he moved a little or was ready to scream, his throat was afraid that it would be cut.

"Whatever your Excellency wants, just ask." After Gui Lun was taken aback, he calmed down, "There is not much gold and silver, there are some antique calligraphy and paintings, and if nothing else, there is nothing valuable." ”

He knew in his heart that if he could sneak into the house quietly, and even get close to him when he was sleeping in a daze, the other party would definitely be skilled.

"Excuse me, Lord Katsura." An indifferent voice sounded, very soft: "I came to look for Lord Gui, I just want to ask a few words." ”

Lord Lin was sitting on a chair at this time, and the dagger in Chu Huan's hand was on Gui Lun's throat.

Gui Lun didn't dare to move, so he could only say: "My life is already in your hands, if you want to ask anything, I won't fail to answer, but ...... Can you get me up and talk? ”

The black light blinded the fire, Lord Lin nodded to Chu Huan, Chu Huan withdrew the dagger slightly, Gui Lun sat up slowly, and saw that there were two more people in the room, trying to calm himself down.

Lord Lin leaned back in his chair, he was very confident in himself, at this time he was only three steps away from Gui Lun, and anyone who was ten steps away from him would be under his control, so he was not afraid that Gui Lun would do any ghosts, Gui Lun had a strange movement, he could kill this person in the blink of an eye.

"I wonder what you two have to say?" Gui Lun sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly.

Lord Lin got straight to the point: "You yourself know that life is in our hands, but I want you to know that sometimes death is not the most painful, and I have countless ways to make you more painful than death, so if you have a lie, I believe you will definitely regret coming to this world." ”

Gui Lun nodded.

"I guess you should know about the Machiya Stone Field." Lin Dadao: "Who else is behind you?" ”

Gui Lun was stunned, and then sighed lightly: "I know that this matter can't be hidden." Actually, I was also forced...... Hey, now that you're here, I'm relieved. ”

Lord Lin frowned, and Chu Huan was also a little surprised.

Gui Lun said: "I'm afraid the two of you are the top of the imperial court, right?" ”

Lord Lin asked rhetorically: "How is it, isn't it?" ”

"The lower officials were forced to violate the laws of the imperial court, and they were worried day and night, so they had been prepared for a long time. The ins and outs of this matter, Xia Guan had already written the excerpt and explained it in detail, but he didn't dare to hand it over. Gui Lun sighed lightly: "If the two of them are poor in the court, the lower officials will find the excerpts, and the two of them can know at a glance." ”

Chu Huan said lightly: "You'd better not play tricks." He was actually very strange in his heart, he thought that it would be very difficult to ask for a confession from Gui Lun, but the truth seemed to be countless times easier than he expected, which made Chu Huan feel different.

It's just Gui Lun's performance and tone, but it seems to be really helpless.

Could it be that this person already knew about the incident, so he sought to protect himself?
