Li Dingguo and his entourage actually came faster than Zhiwen imagined, and after the thieves arrived and reported to the imperial court, someone urged them to turn back.

is more anxious than Li Dingguo, Zhou Chengyun and others, in addition to Zhang Honggong, who wants to rush to Datong as soon as possible, there is also the security guard Zhizhou Lord He Wenrui, of course, Lord He is so anxious, not just to take office, the incident he heard from Zhou Chengyun's mouth is the reason why he is so urgent.

"Have you asked clearly, who instructed it?" He Wenrui had a calm face and asked Li Dingguo, who had just come from the torture place, if no one supported him behind his back, these bandits would not dare to come to Jiming Mountain to commit crimes after eating the leopard's guts.

The miserable howl, which was quite loud just now, has gradually subsided, and that kind of place is naturally not something that He Zhizhou's identity can go.

The young man named Li Dingguo in front of him is not very old, he looks like he is at most fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is calm and sophisticated, and before he knew that someone was attacking, the front team's horse exploration, the cover of the rear team, and the guard of the Chinese army were all arranged by him in an orderly manner.

After getting the warning, he was more cautious, and did not give people the slightest chance to sneak attack, in the battle just now, although there was a huge disparity in strength and weakness, but under his arrangement, the mountain bandits did not escape from the horses, and they could be regarded as having a good command.

Looking at this young man, He Zhizhou, who was angry because of the robbery, couldn't help but have some appreciation in his eyes, if he knew that Li Dingguo's real age was actually still young, and he looked big because he ate well and exercised a lot, He Zhizhou would probably be even more surprised.

"Clear." Li Dingguo bowed and replied, "According to what they said, it was the Fan family in Zhangjiakou who instigated them to come here to rob." ”

When Ma Er sent people to warn Li Dingguo, for some reason, he may have seen outsiders and did not reveal the roots of these bandits.

"Fan?" He Wenrui frowned slightly, this is not a small matter, "Is this news true?" ”

"It should be about the same." Li Dingguo said, "They are all interrogated separately, there is no suspicion of collusion, these bandits are not hard bones, a little torture, they will all be recruited, the answer is so consistent, it should not be wrong, and the grass people and others also according to their confessions, from several leaders to find the so-called deposit given to them by the Fan family, although the amount is somewhat different, but according to the confession, this is because they spent part of it." ”

The trick of separate interrogation is still taught by Zhiwen, in order to prevent these people from colluding to confess after hearing the confessions of their companions, Li Dingguo thinks it is still very useful.

He Wenrui looked at his entourage who was following Li Dingguo, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he believed it, he admired Li Dingguo, but at the critical moment, his own family was more trustworthy.

"This Fan's... What a guts! He Wenrui said hatefully, "I dare to collude with bandits and attack and kill the officials of the imperial court." ”

Although the Fan family is rich and powerful, and he also has a bit of a backer in the court, how can he be worse than his teacher, and the Fan family is a businessman, so he can be regarded as nakedly beating the face of the scholar, so how can He Wenrui, a dignified and two-rank jinshi, swallow this breath.

It's just that the Fan family is located in Zhangjiakou, He Wenrui can't reach the whip, there are only a few branches in Baoanzhou, even if these stores are collapsed, they can't hurt the Fan family's bones, and look at it, He Wenrui is ruthless in his heart, and when his mentor Geng Ruqi sits in the high position of the governor of Xuanda, he must teach the Fan family a good lesson.

"Lord He, this Fan clan's move is probably coming to the grass people." What kind of brain is Zhou Chengyun, Li Dingguo and Fan's words came out, and he understood that Fan Yongdou's death was mostly counted on his head by the Fan family, and He Wenrui suffered from the pond fish.

Although now Zhou Chengyun and Zhuolu Trading Company and Geng Ruqi and others are in the honeymoon period, and the relationship is quite good, he knows the temperament of these people, if he doesn't make things clear now, let them have a grudge against the Fan family, and then go up and down, and when they know the reason afterwards, how can they feel that they are being used, and they will inevitably be unhappy, and they will lay the nail for the cooperation between the two sides, and they will hurriedly come out to explain the reason.

"Oh, what does that mean?" He Wenrui asked, he didn't expect that he was not the main target, just an add-on, but he had a good impression of Zhou Chengyun's straightforwardness.

"The Chamber of Commerce in the south of Jinjin has always had a contradiction with the grain merchants in the north of Jin, and Lord He must know it." Zhou Chengyun said.

He Wenrui nodded, he was in Jinyang, and naturally he also knew that there was no deal between the salt merchants in southern Jin and the grain merchants in northern Jin, but the fight between the two sides was mostly in the shopping mall, and he had never heard of it blatantly taking people's lives like today.

"These people not only smuggled the forbidden goods of the imperial court to the northern captives, but I heard that they have also been sold to Jiannu in recent years, which is hateful." He Wenrui said, "A group of villains who have no king and no father, and betray the interests of the court. ”

Although He Wenrui, like most literati in this era, has some stinky problems, such as looking down on people in other professions except for scholars, etc., and his own scheming methods are also quite level, but under the influence of Geng Ruqi, he is quite disciplined, and he is quite unaccustomed to the behavior of the Fan family, relatively speaking, Zhou Chengyun, a businessman with a bottom line, is much more pleasing to the eye, which is also one of the reasons why he is willing to cooperate with Zhou Chengyun.

"What the adults said is very true, don't hide it from the adults, just because we don't want to be in the same stream with them, we have been at a disadvantage all these years, but Zhuolu Trading Company is where our hope lies, the Fan family must have felt threatened, but they can't compete in the open, so they made a dangerous move and collided with the adult."

The real reason can't be said, but Zhou Chengyun's words can't be wrong, at least he is sure in his heart that Fan Yongdou's death, the people of the Fan family can't have real evidence, so the act of attacking him and avenging Fan Yongdou is probably just a small reason, and more importantly, he wants to nip Zhuolu Trading Company in the bud.

Zhou Chengyun knew that the current controller of the Fan family, Fan Xuan, was shrewd and terrifying, and it was impossible to hide the sweater from him for a long time, since he couldn't know the core secret of cleaning wool, killing himself was a good way to attack the Zhuolu Trading Company.

However, this point was Zhou Chengyun's mistake, and all kinds of mistakes caused Fan Xuan to not know the real killer of Zhuolu Trading Company.

"Zhou Gongzi's words are wrong, you and I are now one, what is the difference between being unfavorable to you and doing something wrong to me, not to mention, this Fan family's move, where is the court law." He Wenrui said righteously and strictly, but in fact, the real key, in addition to the previous three thousand heads, is the four words of unity.

In order to win over the future Governor of Xuanda, Zhou Chengyun has also made great efforts, and has given Geng Ruqi, Zhang Honggong and He Wenrui three people, each with different shares of Zhuolu Trading Company, although he did not inform Zhiwen, but he believed that Zhiwen would not object, and it was also within Zhou Chengyun's authority, which was said at the time.
