"This stone, they went up."

Guo Wei pointed to the roof and fence.

There are traces of people trampling on two or three zhang around this dry well, but the traces outside three zhang are stepped on by their own people.

He has handled a lot of cases in Dali Temple, and it is not uncommon for the traces of this situation to disappear suddenly.

Usually this situation is either flying in the sky or escaping to the ground, and the geese still leave traces, not to mention a group of living people.

The top of the stone on the ground is relatively smooth, and there is no moss growing like the stone slab outside.

The stone must have been moved later, and the lower part of it sank into the ground, and the dirt around it was solid, and it was obvious that someone had stepped on it.

It seems that someone should have used this stone as a stepping stone for a long time, and the intention is obvious, either to climb the wall or to go to the house.

"I'll take a look."

Seeing the instructions in Guo Wei's hand, Ouyang Kai looked at the roof, and flew up in a pause, flying directly to the roof.

Sure enough, as Guo Wei expected, there was indeed a problem on the roof, and a "heavenly road" stepped out from one side of the house to the other side of the house.

Walking along this stepped-out road, Ouyang Kai came to the roof of another house, and walked through several houses in a row, Ouyang Kai followed the trail into the woods.

After jumping on the tree for a while, a big road appeared in front of Ouyang Kai's eyes, looking at both sides of this road, he couldn't see anything detailed, Ouyang Kai could only be sure that this place was something he hadn't been to.

Looking around, there was nothing useful, Ouyang Kai was a little disappointed, this clue was broken again, and it was on this road.

Sigh law ~

Just as he was about to turn back, a neighing sound of a horse came into Ouyang Kai's ears, Ouyang Kai was excited, threw away the torch, and took advantage of the moonlight to touch the location where the sound came from.

"Zhaozhou Racecourse!"

Not long after, a big sign appeared in front of Ouyang Kai, which was the horse farm that the shopkeeper of the Qianyuan Inn had mentioned to him before.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Kai didn't break in, but walked around the racecourse.

There was no strange movement in the horse farm, and the horse keeper was leading the horse back to the stable, and the neighing of the horse must have been caused in this situation.

There are a few houses in the racecourse, but unfortunately it is too far away, and you need to go around to the other side of the racecourse, there are a lot of people guarding the racecourse, and it seems that it should be the garrison of Zhaozhou.

"Who!"

Suddenly, the people who patrolled over found Ouyang Kai next to the racecourse and shouted vigilantly.

Ouyang Kai didn't reply, and left the racecourse quickly in three steps and two steps.

"Someone has broken in, go and tell Lord Yang and the commander!"

When the patrolling people saw Ouyang Kai leaving, they did not rush to catch up, but sent someone to report to the person in charge of the racecourse.

"How's it going up?"

Seeing Ouyang Kai coming back, Situ Jingping stepped forward and asked.

Ouyang Kai walked for so long after going up and came back, there should have been something to discover.

"They walked from above, all the way to the side of the Zhaozhou Racecourse, and they didn't go to the ground."

Ouyang Kai told Situ Jingping the information he had obtained.

The road from the roof to that road is not to jump back and forth on top of the tree, and there is basically no trace under the tree.

"Horse farm?"

Unexpectedly, these people would run to the vicinity of the racecourse, Situ Jingping was a little surprised.

"Then will the Panlong Sect have anything to do with the horse farm?"

This is the issue that Situ Jingping is most concerned about.

After investigating for so long, the Panlong Sect can already be characterized as a cult that brings disaster to the country and the people, and it can be said with certainty that it is not a good bird.

The Zhaozhou Horse Farm was run by the imperial court and was heavily guarded nearby.

If the horse farm run by the imperial court is related to the Panlong Sect, then the problem involved is huge.

"I don't know, I didn't get in."

Ouyang Kai wanted to sneak in, but unfortunately he was discovered by the patrol, and it was difficult to sneak in again.

"Dedication, send someone to the gate of the racecourse to keep an eye on it secretly."

Ouyang Kai couldn't go in secretly, the horse farm must be very heavily guarded, Situ Zhuanzhi definitely can't get in, it is better to look at the Zhaozhou horse farm first.

.........

"Meet Lord Situ and Lord Guo!"

Early the next morning, Situ Jingping, Guo Wei and Ouyang Kai took a big visit to Zhaozhou Racecourse with great fanfare.

Yang Ma, the person in charge of the Zhaozhou Racecourse, and Wei Ma, the general in charge of guarding the racecourse, hurriedly came out to greet him.

Situ Jingping and Guo Wei's sudden visit caught Yang Ma and Wei Ma a little off guard, they had already received the news of Situ Jingping and Guo Wei's arrival in Zhaozhou, but they never thought that they would come to their horse farm.

"When the two adults visited, the lower officials were disappointed, and I hope the two adults will forgive their sins."

The Zhaozhou Horse Farm is actually under the management of the Ministry of War, and Yang Ma and Wei Ma are both officials of the Ministry of War.

And Situ Jingping and Guo Wei are both senior officials of the imperial court, and they are the existence that Yang Ma can hardly match.

As for Wei Ma, although Situ Jingping and Guo Wei are civil officials and they are military generals, they are close friends with the general, and they used to be the general's staff officers, and their rank is not much higher than their own.

Guo Wei is in charge of Dali Temple and is one of Emperor Xiao's most trusted people.

Whether it is to Situ Jingping or Guo Wei, both of them can only call themselves subordinates.

"Lord Yang and Lord Wei are serious, the two of us came to visit rashly, without greeting the two adults in advance, don't be surprised by the two adults!"

Polite words still have to be put on the table, Yang Ma and Wei Ma are the biggest people in Zhaozhou Racecourse, do a good job of some relationships, so that it is convenient to visit Zhaozhou Racecourse later.

"I wonder what the two adults are doing here?"

The matter of Zhaozhou Zhizhou Fan Tong, the two of them knew about it, and they decided immediately, for them, the more polite Situ Jingping said, the more serious it might be in the future.

"This official is ordered to patrol the south to investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and it has been a while since he came to Zhengzhou, and he will leave in a few days.

In the name of the governor, he went south to inspect the states, this matter is already known to the world, and Situ Jingping took advantage of this name to take a look at the Zhaozhou Racecourse on the grounds that he was about to leave Zhaozhou.

"This ...... My lord, the horse farm is a land of horses, and there is a lot of filth, which will inevitably damage the noble body of the adult. ”

Yang Ma and Wei Ma were a little weak-hearted, there was nothing ready in this horse farm, so it was better not to let Situ Jingping in.

"Eh, it's okay, it's okay, I also led the horses and fed the horses for the general back then, these are all trivial things."

Situ Jingping had long been prepared for the two of them not to cooperate, and the excuses that the two of them could find, they had already thought of countermeasures.

In the past, when Situ Jingping and Nangong Yi were together in Qingzhou in the north, the horses of the two of them were fed by Situ Jingping alone.

"My lord, there is a new batch of fierce horses in the horse farm recently, and they have not yet been tamed, if you go in, you may ...... Will ......"

Seeing that the first move didn't work, Yang Ma used the second move, and the task of the horse farm originally included taming the fierce horses, and some horses had a strong temper and needed to be tamed before they could go to the battlefield.

"This Lord Yang doesn't have to worry about it, back then, the Wuyan thief invaded my Xiao country in the south, and this official also went into battle with the general to kill the enemy, although the art of the horse is not one of the best, but there is no problem with self-preservation."

With this excuse, Situ Jingping really didn't know what to say, didn't Yang Ma know that he had also ridden a horse across the battlefield at the beginning?

There are many people in Xiao Kingdom who can ride horses on the battlefield, how many of them are not hard?

"This ...... My lord...... This ......"

Yang Ma didn't know what to say, and he really didn't know that Situ Jingping had these resumes.

"Take us inside!"

Situ Jingping didn't talk nonsense with Yang Ma anymore, and directly asked him to lead a few of his people in.

"Your Excellency...... This...... Please come with me. ”

Yang Ma finally gave in and obediently took Situ Jingping and others into the racecourse.

The closest part of the horse farm to the gate is the horse trading area, which is full of horses that can be sold, which have been eliminated from the army.

"From which army did these horses get rid of?"

Situ Jingping looked at the horses inside and asked curiously.

"My lord, these are the horses eliminated by Fu Hujun, and they are all horses that are no longer suitable for use on the battlefield."

Most of these horses are injured or relatively old, and even if they are trained, the army will not use them for training.

"Has anyone come to buy a horse lately?"

Situ Jingping asked, he just wanted to come up with some answers and see if there was a problem with this horse farm in a roundabout way.

"My lord, a few days ago, the Xin family caravan in the capital and the Zhao family caravan in Fengzhou came here to buy a few horses in better condition, and no one came here to buy horses anymore."

There are not many people who can afford to buy horses, and there are actually not many people who will come to buy horses, Yang Ma remembers clearly.

"How many people rent horses?"

It is possible to rent a horse in the horse farm, but you need to mortgage some items and silver, and wait until the renter returns to return the horse.

"Not much, sir."

Yang Ma replied without thinking.

"Take us inside."

When he arrived at the second gate, Situ Jingping commanded, and when he entered this second gate, the horses that were really raised to go to the battlefield were inside.

"My lord, this ......"

Yang Ma hesitated again, did he really want to take Situ Jingping in?

"My lord, there's really nothing to see in it, it's better to ......"

If Situ Jingping is really allowed to enter it, then he will be in great trouble, and Yang Ma still wants to break Situ Jingping away.

"Lord Yang, you are reluctant for me to come in and visit the racecourse outside the racecourse, and it is still the case, is there anything that you can't see in this racecourse!"

Yang Ma refused to let himself in five times, and Situ Jingping raised the tone of his speech.

"Your Excellency...... I ......"
