Chapter 73: Chai Wan, Huazhou
ps: Dear guests, gentlemen and ladies, Reddy met Mante, please give me various collections and recommendations!
Surprisingly, Master Zhou actually had an accident more than 200 miles away from the capital, which sounded a wake-up call to me. The existence of weapon supervision has attracted the attention of certain forces. This time it was Master Zhou, which taught me a lesson and also to see how I reacted. If I did not handle this level well, then people would likely use various tricks one after another to drive me out of Chang'an, or even kill me, causing the whole family to suffer.
I have always believed that living a life of peace and not being able to show off can avoid falling into these struggles. It seems that I have underestimated these people who are engaged in politics, just a weapon supervisor, and there is a one-year deadline. Even such harsh conditions cannot reassure them. The rise of a force must be on the dry bones of several forces. People have seen through this point long ago, and as I am still struggling, they have already arranged it and come to my fatal point with one move.
"I report to the Emperor, Master Zhou is an important craftsman in the weapons supervision department. He knows a lot. If you fail, you are afraid of endangering the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, please order the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case and rescue Master Zhou as soon as possible."
"Accurate, I will issue an edict. You can act cheaply and arrest the evil people as soon as possible."
He quickly received the edict, bid farewell to Li Shimin, and pulled Huailiang out of Chengtian Gate. Cen Changqian was still on duty and went to give him a thank you. The other party still made efforts in this matter.
"Brother Ning is still a character, so I can only speak in the future if I can use my brother." Cen Changqian was not vague, but she had a deep disgust towards Huai Liang, or she was a slander for complaining and taking the blame. I still remember that for so long, forget it is not the time to speak today, but after thanking her, she left.
Just after taking two steps, I suddenly thought of something, and quickly grabbed the reins, and the horse was yelling and turned around and asked:
"Wu Jin, are you interested in investigating the case with me?"
At this moment, Huai Liang and I, at most Diao Gui and Dayong, were too busy with Sangou. There were still a lot of things at home that made him feel troubled. Although Cen Changqian was ungrateful and sloppy, she could be regarded as a person with clear grudges. So she would bring him into the group, and she would share the blessings in the future and he would bear the difficulties. I don’t know if this person would like it.
"Hey, the relationship is good. I'm idle now. Brother Ning, Wu Jin will follow your instructions. And later, I will only say a word when I go."
Soon, three people and three horsemen rushed to Huazhou, with an edict in their hands, a silverfish bag on their waists, and two small dukes who were not right around them. One of them was Gongcao, who was inspecting the Zuo Jinwu Guard, and he was also a figure wherever he went.
Huazhou is only 200 miles away from Chang'an, and it is a key place to guard the capital. It has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. The slopes are flat and the mountains and forests are thin, so it is not a good place for robbery. There are people coming and going on the official road, and there are still post officials flying by from time to time. I think it is an urgent matter from all over the place.
It was getting dark and before I could reach Zheng County, the capital of Huazhou, I had to settle down in Weinan and find a decent inn. It was so fast that I was very proud of my military service. It was more than a hundred miles away from Chang'an. I felt a burst of burning pain under my crotch as soon as I got off the horse.
"Next to me, I must be angry if I know who the hell tied up Master Zhou."
The feeling of hotness became heavier and heavier. Huailiang and Changqian were able to bear it and kept asking me to find a doctor to see it, otherwise how could I rush to the road tomorrow?
So, I asked the doctor to prescribe some dressings, and returned to the inn and did nothing, so I applied it to bed.
I was tossing and turning on the bed and couldn't sleep. Master Zhou and I had been having some days. They were also a straight man on weekdays. I was still worried. If someone with ulterior motives were tied up, the torture would probably be overwhelmed. The beauty's plan might be directly called, but it would be a bad thing. The wisdom of the ancients could not be underestimated. Unfortunately, Lingnan was vast and sparsely populated. If it were a noble family or royal family or noble family, it would be impossible to prevent it from being tinkered with. The world would be in chaos again. When I recalled what my father-in-law said, it was true that every word was a true saying.
"Brother Ning, why can't I fall asleep? That person is really so important?"
I just told Cen Changqian that Master Zhou was a craftsman who was the general in charge and had secret drawings of the general in charge. He was kidnapped by a villain at this moment, afraid of doing something that would harm the Tang Dynasty, so he had to search so nervously.
"It's really important, but unfortunately we don't have many clues. I really don't know how to start when we arrive in Huazhou."
Since he couldn't sleep, he got up, but Huai Liang was so sleepy that he started to snore now.
Master Zhou made his last appearance in Zheng County, Huazhou, and then there was no news. The carriage was also found in a small valley more than fifty miles north of Zheng County. Then nothing was thrown away on the carriage, which gave people the feeling that he was running straight to someone. But who knew the route of Master Zhou, and who knew that Master Zhou and Yu'er were not together. So many problems made me feel a little troubled.
"We only have three people, are there too few people in terms of manpower? This kind of kidnapping must be searched from door to door. Zheng County is a radius of fifty miles. I think the bad guys will definitely not reveal their whereabouts. The place where the carriage is found is likely to be a fool."
Cen Changqian has a good idea, which is possible, but what does it mean to be a fifty-mile radius? Even if it takes several days to drive in later generations, it is even more time-consuming to ride a horse now. What should I do?
"By the way, Changqian, do you know whose fiefdom is the largest around you?"
The founding of the Tang Dynasty did enfeoff a lot of land, unlike the later ones who only had titles but no fiefs. Since I analyzed that it was caused by people in the court, the largest landlord on this land was the most suspicious. Generally, counties like me would definitely not be able to enter the court, so I feel that my judgment is relatively clear.
"Oh, fiefdom, I don't know this. If you ask the waiter, these things are the ones that are the most familiar to you."
Cen Changqian also sat up. Since it was a bunk bed, the guy quietly put his feet in front of Huai Liang's nose, with a strange smile on his face. On weekdays, I would definitely be involved, but now I have no interest.
Yes, whether it is a TV series or a movie, all the waiters are all knowledgeable about everything. It's a little late today. I'll ask the waiter early tomorrow morning. I think I must be doing something with those who don't like me.
Regardless of Cen Changqian's little movement under Huailiang's nose, she lay down and ordered herself to sleep. There was still more than a hundred miles to go tomorrow. She forgot one thing when she went out, which was also my immature place. Diao Gui and Dayong should be transferred here no matter how much. As for helping find someone, the yamen in Zheng County's yamen could help. Forget it, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep. So I just covered my head and tried hard to let myself fall asleep.
I don’t know when I fell asleep, but I pretended to be in my mind. I heard the sound outside and got up. Huailiang was still sleeping soundly. Cen Changqian was quite awake and woke up at this moment. So I woke Huailiang up. Everyone washed up and came to the canteen for dinner.
I called the waiter and gave him a few cents. The waiter happily let us ask questions.
"Haha, the guest officials don't know that this place is the territory of the Chai family. It is not only the ancestral fief, but also the ancestral inheritances are thousands of yuan. There are all areas where food can be grown. I heard that there are still some in Shangzhou."
My ancestor, Chai Shao, most of this thing was done by this bastard. Next door, it's so hard to get a lot of trouble. No wonder Master Zhou would have any trouble. As long as these are the territory of the Chai family, something would definitely happen if the Ning family's signature was revealed. If Yu'er was not my family, Chai Shao would not dare to go too far, and he would have disappeared now.
What to do? It is impossible to go to the door to find someone directly. I have to find out clearly. The Chai family’s nest is located in a place called Chaiwan, southwest of Zheng County. It is said that even the tenants who grow grain are surnamed Chai. In other words, the place is a wall of iron. Even if you want to go in, it will be useless if you take the edict. If you put people anywhere, you will not be able to find them even if Li Shimin comes here in person.
