Through the interrogation of Zhao Youjin, it was further confirmed that Zhong Wentao's identity was indeed sent by Prime Minister Yang Xian, and he was the culprit who led them to sabotage in Wu County.

This Zhong Wentao did have some brains, and when he learned that their identities had been exposed, he gave them instructions. Let them seek and hide separately, and not tell each other where they are hiding, and do not contact each other unless they have to.

In this case, although Wang Kuan caught Wei Chunfang and Zhao Youjin. But I still don't know anything about the news of Yang Hong, Guo Desheng and Liu Xiaoquan, let alone Zhong Wentao, who is more mysterious than the three of them.

knew that the existence of these people posed a huge threat to the fiefdom, so Wang Kuan and the others did not dare to relax for a moment. They sent all the people out and made secret visits everywhere to gather all the information that might be useful.

Soon after, Liu Xiaoquan was also caught, and his arrest was somewhat dramatic, and it can also be said that Liu Xiaoquan himself was arrested.

After the matter was exposed, Liu Xiaoquan was born in an old house in the countryside of a distant nephew under him, and in order to prevent the distant nephew from betraying himself, he gave the distant nephew a large sum of money and let the parents of the distant nephew take care of him.

Liu Xiaoquan has been saving this distant nephew for many years, and this time he gave him a lot of money, and it stands to reason that this distant nephew will not betray him.

In fact, after Liu Xiaoquan hid in the old mansion of this distant nephew, this distant nephew not only did not betray him, but also asked his parents to prepare food and drink for him all day long.

After a period of time like this, this distant nephew, who had made a windfall, finally couldn't bear the loneliness. took the money given to him by Liu Xiaoquan, and went to a secret casino to gamble.

Who knew that this distant nephew was very lucky, and he lost all his money in one night, and he owed a lot of money to the casino. Not to mention being beaten, he was forced to sign a huge IOU.

The distant nephew, who was injured, was walking alone on the street when he suddenly saw the arrest notice posted by the county government, and saw Liu Xiaoquan's portrait on the notice.

Looking at the amount of the reward on the portrait, the distant nephew suddenly came to his senses, this reward amount is enough for him to repay all his gambling debts, and it can also allow him to make a good profit.

In this state of mind, Liu Xiaoquan, a distant nephew, finally did not resist the temptation and found Wang Kuan to denounce Liu Xiaoquan.

After Liu Xiaoquan was caught, he couldn't help but sigh when he heard the reason why he was arrested.

Because the casino where the distant nephew lost money was his own secret casino, and it was his own horse boy who set up a game to let his distant nephew lose a lot of money and forced him to sign an IOU.

And the method used by this horse boy is the common method used by himself to teach his subordinates to slaughter fat sheep, and Liu Xiaoquan used this method to make many people bankrupt.

As expected by Wang Kuan and others, in the place where Liu Xiaoquan was arrested, a black baggage was found, and there were also many black powders hidden in the baggage, the same as the previous two times.

successfully captured Liu Xiaoquan, which only made the four brothers Wang Kuan happy for a short period of time, and then urgently invested in the arrest of the remaining few people, because of this potential threat, I don't know when it may suddenly erupt.

In the past few days, Wang Kuan has been looking for people everywhere, wanting to listen to the suggestions of all parties, and find a way to catch Yang Hong and Guo Desheng, and finally the words of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, let

Wang Kuan's eyes lit up.

Merchants are the most profitable, Guo Desheng is a silk merchant, the business is very large, although the main business has been developed on the fiefdom over the years, but there are also many of his shops in the surrounding counties. Although he rarely shows up these days, he certainly won't let his business go.

According to the suggestion of the president of the fiefdom chamber of commerce, Yang Yun personally came forward to gather all the merchants in the fief and called on these businessmen to act together to suppress Guo Desheng's business in the fiefdom and nearby county capitals.

As these merchants come together, the price of materials is raised and the price of acquisition is reduced...... Various suppression methods emerged one after another, causing all the shops related to Guo Desheng to suffer a serious blow to their business.

According to everyone's understanding of Guo Desheng, he will definitely not be able to sit still now, and he will definitely secretly command his subordinates to find a way to get out of the current predicament. Then Wang Kuan and others only need to pay attention to the movements of those important people under Guo Desheng, and they can find out where Guo Desheng is hiding.

Sure enough, Wang Kuan and others finally found some clues through careful tracking. Some of Guo Desheng's subordinates have often appeared in the eastern part of the city in recent days, but these people are very vigilant, and the messengers sent by Wang Kuan will always lose the object of tracking every time they follow.

However, one thing is certain, since some of Guo Desheng's right-hand men often appear in this area, then Guo Desheng's hiding place must also be not far from the east of the city.

Wang Kuan gathered his three brothers together and carefully analyzed the time between the disappearance and reappearance of Guo Desheng's subordinates during each follow-up, and roughly determined the scope of Guo Desheng's hiding.

They have been tracked many times, and every time the messenger in charge of tracking them follows the east of Yang County, they will be inexplicably interfered with, thus losing the tracking object, so that they can never determine the specific hiding place of Guo Desheng.

Seeing that time was passing day by day, Wang Kuan's heart was very anxious. Although they strictly checked on weekdays and tried not to give Yang Hong and Guo Desheng the opportunity to poison, he was still worried that if they were allowed to take advantage of the loopholes and successfully poison them, the impact would be immeasurable.

There was really no way, Wang Kuan decided to take a risk, although it was possible to startle the snake, but it couldn't be dragged on like this.

Therefore, Wang Kuan gathered all the errands, and found Guo Long to borrow thousands of soldiers in the army, blocked all the roads in the east of the city, and then asked the errand to search one house after another, even if it was to search the bottom of the sky, this Guo Desheng must be found.

There were many houses in this part of the eastern part of the city, and thousands of officers were all mobilized, and they searched carefully one by one. At the same time, Wang Kuan is brother also personally went out to check the pedestrians on the street, and immediately searched for anyone suspicious.

However, the goalkeeper searched all the houses, but never found any trace of Guo Desheng.

At this time, more than a day had passed, and due to the blockade of the eastern part of the city, it had caused great inconvenience to the residents of Yang County. As time passed, the residents' opinions on the blockade became more and more serious, and in desperation, Wang Kuan only asked the soldiers on the periphery to open a few openings, and after careful inspection, let the people enter and leave the east of the city.

Wang Kuo's brothers have been guarding every entrance and exit, carefully watching every person entering and leaving, trying to find clues from the middle.

I have been staying here for several hours, watching many people coming in and out, but I have never found any trace of Guo Desheng. And the sworn brothers Cao Yue, Liu Xiu and Lu Fei, who were guarding the other exits, did not get any better

Messages came over.

Wang Kuan was a little anxious, but there was no other way but to cheer up and carefully observe the people who passed by.

At this time, an elderly couple with gray hair and wrinkled faces supported each other to the checkpoint, and after careful inspection by the soldiers guarding there, they found nothing unusual, and let them go.

This elderly couple each carried a large burden in their hands, and some soldiers wanted to help them carry it, but they still refused to agree, so the soldiers had to watch them slowly move forward.

Looking at the age of this elderly couple, they should be over seventy or eighty years old, and in this era, the elderly who can live to such an age belong to the minority. Seeing this pair of old people supporting each other and losing each other, Wang Kuan felt very relieved.

The pair of old men walked forward slowly, farther and farther, and only their backs could be seen in the distance.

"You two, stop me!" Looking at the backs of these two old men, Wang Kuan suddenly noticed that something was wrong, he immediately shouted loudly, and then chased forward quickly.

Unexpectedly, the old man heard the sound and still did not stop. What's more, when they saw Wang Kuan running towards them, they suddenly quickened their pace and quickly rushed forward.

Two old men at such an age can run very fast. Even the soldiers behind Wang Kuan noticed the abnormality, and they immediately separated their men and followed closely behind.

The two old men, seeing that there were more and more pursuers, simply dispersed and quickly ran in both directions.

Looking at the figures of the two old men, Wang Kuan knew that the old man with a poor figure must not be Guo Desheng who they wanted to arrest, because according to the information they obtained, Guo Desheng was a fat man.

With such a plan in his heart, Wang Kuan changed direction and chased after the back of the old woman.

Don't look at the figure in front of you is very fat, but the speed of running is not slow, like a leather ball, quickly rolling forward.

It was likely that Guo Desheng's person was in front of him, how could Wang Kuan let him run away, so he immediately picked up his pace, increased his speed, and chased forward desperately.

The old woman in front saw Wang Kuan hurriedly chasing after her, and immediately turned around and ran into a remote alley on one side, and when Wang Kuan chased into this alley, she did not see the old woman.

There were only a few houses in this alley, and there were no other exits, so Wang Kuan immediately guarded the entrance of the alley, and after the pursuers behind caught up, let them enter these houses to search.

Who knew that these soldiers searched in several homes for a long time, but they did not find any trace of this old woman, which made Wang Kuan wonder.

Looking up at the alley, the few trees in the alley caught Wang Kuan's attention. Wang Kuan immediately asked people to surround these trees, and finally found a figure in the canopy of one of the trees.

I don't know how such an obese figure climbed this big tree.

Seeing the soldiers under the trees stretching their bows and arrows, the tips of the arrows were aimed at themselves, if they made the slightest move, they would definitely be shot into a hornet's nest. The old woman in the tree immediately begged for mercy and quickly climbed down from the tree.

And he saw the old woman come down from the tree, and stood there motionless. Wang Kuan immediately walked over and removed the disguise from his body, so that Wang Kuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, because it was none other than Guo Desheng, a silk merchant who was one of the masterminds of a series of sabotage activities in the fiefdom.
