Meng Fusheng has never made a rash decision if he has not seen it with his own eyes and is not sure, so after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "If you have doubts, why don't you send someone to investigate?" ”

Du Weizhen suddenly realized, and also felt funny, he just fell into a misunderstanding, but among the people he trusted the most, Wang Suping has a noble status and can be trusted, but all the way to the mountains and high grounds, as the prime minister, the priorities on his body are not much better than him, how can he leave this big pile of things and go to Jingzhou? The other is the person in front of him, but how did Du Weizhen open his mouth, after all, he is no longer his own courtier, he stayed here to take care of his imperial sister, and used this kind of thing to separate him from his imperial sister, so he is too inhumane as an imperial brother and friend.

The entanglement and frustration on his face were too obvious, and Meng Fusheng understood what he was thinking at a glance, and proposed, "What do you think of Li Qing?" Li Qingzhong is brave, just because I have a life-saving grace for him, I have not given up on life and death for several years, saved me in danger several times, and my strength is transcendent, I am really an extremely reliable candidate. ”

Du Weizhen immediately remembered the swordsman who was silently guarding Meng Fusheng's side, his eyes lit up, that person was really a good candidate.

He was no longer squeamish, and smiled heartily: "Then trouble will arise." ”

On the same day, Meng Fusheng asked Li Qing to go to Jingzhou, and for the sake of insurance, he asked Su Ming to follow him, the two have a good relationship, and their skills are good, even if something happens along the way, they will have a care.

A few days later, the two brought back the news, Jingzhou was indeed quite uncalm, Du Chenliang was quite quiet, and secretly seemed to have been keeping in touch with whom, and he didn't know where the silver two recruited troops and trained people.

Du Weizhen was furious, he could be sure that the group of people he stayed there had been bribed by Du Chenliang and helped him hide it, no wonder all he received in the past half a year was some irrelevant and even hyped news that Du Chenliang was addicted to Flower Street and Willow Lane, it turned out that it was all to dispel his scruples and let Du Chenliang have more time to strengthen himself.

Although Du Weizhen is kind-hearted, he is definitely not a soft-hearted person, otherwise he would not be able to be the emperor, he quickly recruited the group of people he deliberately left in Jingzhou with a random reason, and then the platoon of secret guards pretended to be robbers on the way and killed them all, even if Du Chenliang found something, he would not think much about it.

After dealing with these guys, the top priority was to find out what happened in Jingzhou, Du Weizhen named Lu Yu'an as the minister of the Qincha, and had full authority to deal with this matter, and sent Su Ming to accompany him to protect it.

Although Du Weizhen was embarrassed to involve Meng Fusheng, but the matter was big, and it was still the best policy for him to have someone who could completely reassure him, so Du Weizhen cheekily mentioned it in front of him, but he didn't expect Meng Fusheng to agree without much hesitation.

The group pretended to be a traveling merchant who came from south to north to do business along the way, and the dress was also very consistent with the identity of the traveling businessman, and the flowers were very dazzling, in order to be realistic, Meng Fusheng and others even learned a few words of black language commonly used by traveling merchants, but also to deal with emergencies.

The road was calm, and a few days later, the group entered Jingzhou in a dusty and disgraced manner, and the officials guarding the city did not suspect them, but just laughed at them a few words, and pulled Lu Yue'an, who pretended to be the boss of the traveling business, to say a few words, and what to do on time.

Fortunately, Lu Yu'an's learning ability is very strong, so he knows everything about the black words of the traveling merchants, and immediately understood what they meant, and took out the mainland's common communication tool - one hundred taels of silver tickets, and was let go after being ridiculed that the businessman was stupid and had a lot of money.

The group casually found a bad inn to live in, and then separated to check the situation.

Meng Fusheng found that most of the people on the street were dressed plainly, and even the women who loved beauty were only dressed not even better than him, and there were almost no gorgeous clothes.

He was puzzled, ordered a bowl of liquor after entering a wine shop, and sat him down and asked a few words when the skinny shopkeeper brought wine.

"Little brother, why are you so quiet here, and there is not much business on the street."

The shopkeeper's expression was dark, "What kind of sound are you doing, how can we poor people have the money to buy those things." Then he looked Meng Fusheng up and down, and said, "You are a traveling merchant, then you are in the wrong place, we can't even afford to eat, let alone buy your things." ”

After saying that, he shook his head and was about to leave, but Meng Fusheng pulled him down again, and then stuffed a silver ingot into his hand.

The shopkeeper put the silver into his chest with lightning speed, as if he was afraid that someone would suddenly jump out and grab it, as the saying goes, the shopkeeper can only sit back obediently.

Meng Fusheng asked, "Why?" When I used to come here to do business, I bought a lot of people and made a lot of money. ”

The shopkeeper's neck shrank, then he looked left and right, and after seeing that there was no one, he lowered his head and lowered his voice and said: "This is what I told you for the sake of that ingot of silver, you must not go out and talk nonsense, otherwise I will lose my head." We were okay a few years ago, although we came to a prince, but it was not bad, we still lived our own lives, and no one could hinder anyone. But just half a year ago, the prince suddenly said that he wanted to double the tax money, and it was only half a year, and it has been doubled and doubled, and we can't make much money all year round, and we use it to pay taxes. ”

He sighed, his slightly immature face full of dejection.

Meng Fusheng raised his eyebrows, and his voice lowered, "But the taxes above have not increased but decreased, why are you here?" ”

The shopkeeper snorted fiercely, "It's not the prince yet." The words that followed were silent, and Xiao Er looked a little scared, "Guest officer, you're about to kill me, I don't dare to say this, it's all our guess." ”

Meng Fusheng stuffed another ingot of silver into his hand and pleaded, "Little brother." ”

The shopkeeper stood up, his expression was cloudy, and it took a while to put the silver into his arms, and then he wrote two words on the table with his hands dipped in water, and left immediately.

Meng Fusheng saw that the word "rebellion" slowly dared, and then disappeared, everything returned to its original appearance, the shopkeeper entered the backyard, Meng Fusheng rubbed the bowl that looked old for I don't know how long it had been used, drank it all in the last sip, and left after leaving the wine money.

Two days later, the group summarized the news they had found, and they were almost sure of what was happening in the city and Du Chenliang's thoughts, and then they were going to leave first.
