The Xu family was exiled to Liangzhou, Chen Xiaoting's heart has always been empty, and the first to find out that something was wrong with him was Zhang Zhenshan.

When Zhang Zhenshan took the initiative to ask, in front of his most trusted elders and bosses, Chen Xiaoting told the Xu family about it.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoting became sad because of a woman's departure, Zhang Zhenshan was very incomprehensible.

Chen Xiaoting is only seventeen years old now, and the future stage is still very broad, so there is no need to slump for a woman.

So Zhang Zhenshan told Chen Xiaoting that only those who go to high places can control their destiny, so he must cheer up.

This truth is very simple, Chen Xiaoting actually understands it in his heart, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to practice it.

But when Zhang Zhenshan explained this truth to him, Chen Xiaoting suddenly became enlightened, in fact, he just needed to find someone to talk to.

A lot of things are uncomfortable in my heart, but after saying it, it is much better.

As a result, Chen Xiaoting's fighting spirit gradually recovered, he was not a person who was too fond of children, and this was not the whole of life for him.

After Zhang Zhenshan talked to him, Chen Xiaoting gradually returned to normal, and took people around the street as usual every day.

At the same time, he also sent people to continue to investigate Chen Benxian's affairs, Chen Benxian is a big fish, and it is definitely a great achievement after catching it.

But it is also difficult to make progress in this matter, because there is no way to do anything without valid evidence.

Time passed day by day, and after a month passed, Gao Zhuang returned from Liangzhou, and he told Chen Xiaoting that the Xu family had been settled by him.

Except for the hard work every day, there is nothing else to worry about.

Gao Zhuang is also very thoughtful, and once he agrees to help, he will do his best, so Chen Xiaoting is very satisfied.

Without saying much else, Chen Xiaoting gave another twenty taels of silver on the spot, which made Gao Zhuang very happy at that time.

Xu Youhui settled down there, and Chen Xiaoting actually put his mind at ease, so he also put all his thoughts into the yamen.

In mid-November, when Chen Xiaoting woke up from his bed on the morning of the 16th, Liu Jianping, Wang Weidong, and Mu Changge found his residence.

Chen Xiaoting was sleeping, they didn't dare to disturb, and when they saw him wake up, they all rushed in, and seeing their excited appearance, Chen Xiaoting knew that something was wrong.

After wiping his face casually, Chen Xiaoting said: "Say, what kind of thing is like this!" ”

Liu Jianping said: "My lord, the matter of the Zhou family's rice line has eyebrows!" ”

Zhoujia Rice Shop, the merchant who does business with the Chen family and collects three times the profit, is not strange to find out the problem at this time.

But Chen Xiaoting still said calmly: "What did you find?" ”

I only heard Liu Jianping say: "My lord, in the past month, a few people under him have followed Zhou Jia, the owner of the Zhou family's commercial house, and his family, but they have not found anything!" ”

"So we turned to follow the Zhou family's caravan, and it wasn't until yesterday that we found out that their business was actually related to weapons!"

Hearing the word weapon, Chen Xiaoting was not calm at all, once the weapon was connected with the White Lotus Sect, it was likely to be a big deal.

So Chen Xiaoting said in a deep voice: "Go on!"

Liu Jianping continued: "The Zhoujia rice store has to go to the countryside to collect grain every seven or eight days, and every time we go out, we come back with several big trucks, so we are eyeing their convoy!" ”

"Yesterday, Zhou Jia's eldest son Zhou Yong led the team out, but yesterday the snow blocked the road, Zhou Yong didn't dare to take the risk of hurrying, so he rested in the town thirty roads away from Luyang!"

At this time, Chen Xiaoting answered: "So, what did you find in the town! ”

Liu Jianping said: "What the adults said was timely, at that time, we went to check the Zhou family's convoy while it was dark, and it was indeed filled with grain!" ”

"My subordinates were knocking on the wooden cabinet containing grain at random, but who knew that something was wrong here, and the grain was actually empty underneath!"

Since it is hollow, it must be filled with something unsightly, combined with Liu Jianping's words earlier, Chen Xiaoting guessed that there was a weapon hidden inside.

I only heard Liu Jianping continue: "After everyone fell asleep in the middle of the night, a few of his subordinates went to the night again, stunned the guarded Zhou family, got the key, and opened one of the wooden cabinets!" ”

"My lord, guess what you found in it?" Liu Jianping asked expectantly.

Chen Xiaoting was very helpless, and then said: "Weapon!" ”

Liu Jianping patted his thigh and said: "My lord, you are right, after we picked up the grain above, we found that there were weapons under the grain!" ”

At this time, Chen Xiaoting changed color slightly: "What happened later?" ”

Liu Jianping replied: "After finding out that there were weapons in the cabinet, the three subordinates all withdrew back......

"Casting and selling weapons is a big crime, there were seven or eight members of the Zhou family at that time, if they were discovered, they would definitely have to die, so ......"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting said with confidence: "It's good that you don't startle the snake, remember...... The investigation should continue to be investigated, but don't leak this matter! ”

Now Chen Xiaoting finally knows why Chen Benxian gave Zhou Jiami more money, and the extra money was used to buy weapons.

For Liu Jianping and the others, although they didn't know why Chen Xiaoting arranged it this way, they were not qualified to question it as subordinates, so they agreed to it according to Chen Xiaoting's request.

As for Chen Xiaoting, his purpose is to attack Chen Benxian, if he alarms the Zhou family now, it will indirectly alarm Chen Benxian, so he can only stand still.

But moving the Chen family is a big deal, so Chen Xiaoting decided to go to Shen Yue and let Shen Yue get an idea after reporting.

"You guys go back and watch, don't let go of a detail!" Chen Xiaoting said calmly.

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting asked again: "Do you know the source of the Zhou family's weapons?" ”

After thinking about it, Liu Jianping said: "Back to my lord, the specific situation of the subordinates still needs to be verified, but there is one thing that makes the subordinates very worried!" ”

"Say!"

Liu Jianping said: "These weapons are no worse than the standard weapons in the army, and they can be mass-produced, what are these people going to do?" ”

What else can the White Lotus Sect do, of course, it is going to rebel, and I don't know how many weapons Chen Benxian got through this channel and went to Guangde.

At the beginning, Gao Shijie, the king of the White Lotus Sect, was in Guangde, and at the same time, there were forces like Chen Benxian, could it be that the inconspicuous Guangde would be the lair of the White Lotus Sect?

Although the idea is crazy, it is not impossible!

After Liu Jianping and the three left, Chen Xiaoting immediately changed into official clothes, and then quickly rushed to Shen's house.

This matter is too much to deal with, and it can't be settled with his strength alone, and it has to be arranged by Shen Yue himself.

At the same time, Chen Xiaoting's trip was also to show his merit and prove that he was doing his best for Shen Yue's promotion.

People who mix in officialdom are actually very fragile when they talk about feelings, and only interests are the strong bonds that bind everyone together.

Chen Xiaoting's trip is to prove his use value!

It stands to reason that there is a situation in Jinyiwei that cannot be reported to a higher level, but Chen Xiaoting is qualified to go to Shen Yue's dinner table, so he is also qualified to report the situation directly to Shen Yue.

Chen Xiaoting first went to the Thousand Households, but when he went to the lobby, he didn't find any trace of Shen Yue, so he went straight to Shen Yue's mansion.

When he arrived at Shen Yue's mansion, he was introduced into the mansion by Lao Shen as usual, and then Chen Xiaoting was still taken to the side hall of the study.

With this process, Chen Xiaoting knew who Shen Yue was meeting now, so it was no wonder that he didn't go to the yamen.

Just as Chen Xiaoting was guessing who this person was, he received a summons before his butt was hot, asking him to go to the study now.
