Chen County is a poor county, and the Chen County Decree is also a chore, especially in recent years, because of the repeated civil uprisings in Chen County, the location of the Chen County Decree is a fire pit.

In just three or four years, the county magistrate of Chen County has been like a marquee, and seven or eight county magistrates have come to take office in a row.

No one wants to do this position, appointed by the imperial court, and has to go to the post, but after the previous county commanders and new officials took office, they did not think about how to govern a county, but to make the silver go away, and tried their best to transfer out of this place.

It is naturally good to be an official, but few people are willing to do it if they don't have oil and water, and they have to bear the civil violence. The danger of moving your head.

Chen Chong, the current county magistrate of Chen County, is worried every day.

Although his surname is Chen, he is by no means from Chen County, after being transferred here, for the sake of safety, his wife and children dare not bring it over, although he also wants to leave this ghost place earlier, but his family is not good, there is no silver to open up the joints, and he has been here for almost a year.

The sky was still bright, a hurried knock woke Chen Chong up, heard the hurried knock on the door, Chen Chong reflexively got up from the bed, didn't care about getting dressed, grabbed the bedside package, ran to the back window, opened the window, and then turned around and asked, "Who is it?" ”

He didn't know when the civil uprising would happen, but he remembered clearly that in the previous county magistrates, one of the county magistrates almost lost his life because of the civil uprising, although he survived in the end, but his two legs were crippled.

As soon as he thought of what happened to that colleague, Chen Chong's heart suddenly burst, all along, he put the money he had saved in the package, and put it at the head of the bed when he slept, just waiting for something to happen one day, and escape with the package.

"Honorable, it's a villain." There was a voice outside.

Chen Chong heard that it was the county lieutenant who was in charge of the county officials, and he was relieved at first, but immediately became nervous: "At this hour, what are you doing knocking on the door?" ”

The county lieutenant came to knock on the door before dawn, which made Chen Chong feel that things were still not good.

Chen County is different from other counties, because of the local chaos, for the sake of safety, the county yamen is also several times worse than other counties, and the county yamen is guarded day and night to protect the safety of the county order.

The county lieutenant had already said outside: "Go back to the hall, someone from the city is coming, and I want the hall to meet immediately!" ”

"Someone from Fucheng?" I heard that it was not the people who were violent. moved, Chen Chong really breathed a sigh of relief, collected the package, and then stepped forward to look at the door and said, "Who is coming here at this time?" Can you ask what to do? ”

The county lieutenant said: "My lord, it seems to be a big official, and the small one is not clear, I just said to let the adult hurry over, they are now waiting in the side hall!" ”

Chen Chong rolled his eyes and said, "Wait a minute, master, I'll put on my clothes and go over." ”

……

……

Wei Tianqing and Lord Lin were sitting in the side hall of the county yamen at this moment, and the dawn was beginning to appear, and the heavens and the earth were already a little bright.

When Chen Chong came over, he couldn't help frowning when he saw Wei Tianqing and Lord Lin's dress, Lord Lin was dressed as a businessman, Wei Tianqing was even more shabby, like a folk husband, seeing such two people sitting in the side hall in a big way, Chen Chong didn't fight anywhere, and before he entered the door, he turned around and glared at the county lieutenant, and scolded in a low voice: "Are your eyes bad?" Is this someone from Fucheng? ”

The county lieutenant lowered his head and said, "Donal, when they came in, they showed a sign...... The knife on the side of the table was showing the sign of the Praetorian Guard. ”

"Huh?" Chen Chong looked over, and there was a big knife on the tea table next to Wei Tianqing.

He didn't have time to think about it, he entered the door, and arched his hand with a smile: "Chen Chong, the county commander of Chen County, I don't know what the two adults call them?" ”

Wei Tianqing looked at Chen Chong with his eyes and said, "You are the county magistrate of Chen County?" ”

"Xia Guan is exactly." Chen Chong saw Wei Tianqinghu's back to bear waist, although he was dressed shabby, but he had a majesty, and his originally straight body couldn't help but bow up.

Wei Tianqing said: "It will be the Praetorian Guard to control Wei Tianqing!" After speaking, he had already taken out a token from his sleeve and showed it in front of Chen Chong's eyes.

Chen Chong was stunned, although he and Wei Tianqing had never been masked, they had heard of this name, and at this time, Wei Tianqing token was in his hand, Chen Chong naturally did not doubt it, and his expression became more and more humble.

He is a small county commander, and Wei Tianqing is the commander of the Xishan Dao Praetorian Guard, and he is the confidant of the governor of Xishan Dao. ”

Lord Lin didn't speak, just sat next to him and closed his eyes.

Wei Tianqing motioned for Chen Chong to sit down, Chen Chong sat down cautiously next to him, only half of his buttocks were on the chair, respectful, thinking of something, and said to the county lieutenant in front of the door: "Not yet...... Don't hurry up and serve tea! ”

The county lieutenant hurried to make tea.

Wei Tianqing was born in a martial artist, and he did things neatly, and asked directly: "Chen County Order, Chen County's stone field, you must know it?" ”

Chen Chong didn't know why Wei Tianqing asked this, but he still said respectfully: "The lower officials know." ”

"This official asked you, how many stone quarries are there in Chen County?"

"This ......!" A trace of sweat appeared on Chen Chong's forehead, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Back to the words of the adults, there are a total of twenty-seven stone quarries recorded, including eight large stone quarries, five type stone quarries, and fourteen small stone quarries. ”

Wei Tianqing said with a solemn expression: "Are you sure? ”

Chen Chong was stunned, but quickly nodded and said, "Xiaguan...... The lower official confirmed. He added: "Xiaguan has an archive dedicated to recording the stone quarry, so Xiaguan will go and get it!" ”

Wei Tianqing got up and said, "This official will accompany you." ”

Chen Chong hurriedly bowed down and said, "My lord, please!" I thought to myself: "Could it be that Fucheng sent someone here to investigate the matter of the stone field?" ”

Wei Tianqing held the knife and said lightly: "It's still Lord Chen who leads the way in front!" ”

Chen Chong didn't dare to disobey, leading the way in front, Wei Tianqing followed behind, and Lord Lin had already gotten up at this time and followed last.

The outer courtyard of the county government is where the six rooms of the county government are located, and there will be people in each room every day, but it is still early today, and the people in each room have not yet come, Chen Chong took the two of them straight to the door of the house, and the door of the house was locked, so he went to get the key again, opened the door of the house, and led Wei Tianqing and the two people in.

The room was very dim, Chen Chong lit the lamp, there are many cases here, but they are not classified, but neat. Chen Chong invited the two of them to sit down first, and after looking for a while, he found a copy and gave it to Wei Tianqing.

Lord Lin didn't speak from beginning to end, and Chen Chong didn't know the details of Lord Lin, but since he could be with Wei Tianqing, he must not be an ordinary person, he didn't dare to ask, let alone sit down, he bowed his head and stood beside him, and said cautiously: "Wei Tong, this is the list of the major stone quarries in Chen County, which records the mining time and the number of miners in the major stone quarries, as well as the statistics of the stone currently mined, and the Tongzhou Department of Household Affairs and the Stone Mining Department also have such a case." ”

Wei Tianqing took advantage of the lamp, took a closer look, frowned, handed it to Lord Lin, and said, "My lord, there is really no record in it." After speaking, he sneered and glanced at Chen Chong.

Lord Lin flipped it over casually, glanced at it a few times, his face was expressionless, and he actually put this stump on the lamp to ignite the fire.

Chen Chong was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "My lord, this ......!" ”

Wei Tianqing didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said coldly: "Chen Chong, do you know that if there is a hidden report, you can't afford to be guilty, this case is really true?" ”

Chen Chong saw that Wei Tianqing was angry, "poof" knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Wei Tong, lower officials...... The lower official doesn't know what you mean. ”

"You keep saying that this list of quarries records all the quarries, but the official thinks you're lying." Wei Tianqing said coldly: "You say, what are you hiding?" ”

Chen Chong said in a trembling voice: "Two adults, the lower officials dare not hide it!" ”

"Chen Chong, you are so bold, you are still hiding it." Wei Tianqing leaned forward and said sharply: "This official asked you, there is a stone field in the town valley, do you know?" ”

When Chen Chong heard this, his face turned pale, and he kowtowed to the ground, "My lord, the lower official...... The lower official is guilty, and the lower official is guilty......! ”

……

……

When Lin Daier woke up, she found that it was already dark, and she was already lying in a room, even covered with a quilt.

Lin Daier was taken aback, sat up, lifted the quilt, and found that she was neatly dressed, even her knife was next to her, so she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look, and saw Lu Tianyou sitting on a chair, sleeping on the table at this time, an oil lamp on the table was beating from the lamp, and the light had penetrated through the window.

She sat on the bed for a long time, the nightmare of last night still kept coming to her mind, she only wished it was a dream, but she knew in her heart that it was a fact.

Lu Tianyou walked the rivers and lakes, cautious and careful, that is, he fell asleep, that was also with one eye open, heard the movement, had woken up, saw Lin Dai'er sitting on the edge of the bed, and said, "Dai'er, you are awake." ”

Lin Dai'er's expression was gloomy and she asked, "Where are we?" ”

"It's an inn in a town." Lu Tianyou stood up and said, "Are you hungry, I'll go find something to eat." ”

Lin Dai'er shook her head and asked again, "Stone field...... ...... over there! ”

Lu Tianyou's expression also darkened, and said: "After they left, I went back, and the old and young were escorted away, and the others ...... Didn't survive ......! With that, he shook his fist hatefully.

Lin Dai'er's eyes were red again, and she closed her eyes gloomily.

Lu Tianyou sighed and said, "Dai'er, don't be sad anymore. ”

Lin Dai'er opened her eyes and said confusedly: "Brother Tianyou, let's do what we should do next?" Shall we rescue them? As soon as the words came out, he smiled bitterly, knowing that it was impossible to succeed with the strength of only two people.

Lu Tianyou also looked solemn and did not speak.

Lin Dai'er immediately thought of something and said, "Hatred is like blood...... We must find him and break him into pieces. ”

Lu Tianyou sighed: "Dai'er, if it's really a big hat...... Hatred betrayed us like blood, and it was all my fault. It was me who believed him, I ...... I deserve death! Then he clenched his fists and said coldly: "We must find him, if he really betrays us, I will take his head." ”

The two were silent for a while, looking at each other without saying a word.

"We're going to get in touch with the door." After a while, Lu Tianyou said: "The Blood Society has been destroyed, we can only find the Dao Gate and let them help us." ”

Lin Dai'er's willow eyebrows locked, and said, "Brother God, let's ...... None of us ask for it, go to the capital, wait for the opportunity, and assassinate the traitor. ”

Lu Tianyou groaned slightly, shook his head and said: "Dai'er, I know your feelings, but now there are only you and me left in the Blood Society, and the great revenge of the righteous father can only be avenged by us. After a pause, he said: "Let's find a way to rescue the second uncle and the fifth brother first, with them, and then discuss the plan, but to rescue them, we can only go to the Daomen for help." ”

Lin Dai'er sneered: "When we were overwhelmed by the blood meeting, they didn't help, and now only you and I are left, they ...... Won't help us? ”

Lu Tianyou said: "You have to try everything." ”

Lin Dai'er said: "Even if we want to go to them, where can we find them?" Only Hou Muxin and the second uncle know how to contact them, let's ...... We don't have it, but we can't do it. ”

Lu Tianyou thought about it, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice, "Dai'er, did you say anything to your father-in-law before he left?" Or what's left for you? When my father-in-law met with Heavenly Father, did he leave you a clue, but you didn't know? ”
