It's night, the night in Tongzhou is extremely cold, in the Tongzhou Governor's Mansion, Zhao Guangqing has issued several orders, in addition to the Yamen at all levels in Tongzhou City receiving orders, there are also people in the counties under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou who have sent official documents quickly, that is, the counties have begun to send officials to search for the missing weapons and equipment in Heishui Mountain.

In particular, within 100 miles of Heishui Mountain, it will be used as a key search place, and all the road checkpoints within the 100-mile area will be blocked, and passing vehicles, horses, and pedestrians will have to go through strict checks.

After the document was signed, it was already very late, Zhao Guangqing had a few small dishes prepared, and just as he was about to eat, the servant had already come over with a small jar of wine, and said: "My lord, at dusk, Duan Qianhu personally sent this jar of wine, saying that it was a ...... of wine that he had obtained with great difficulty!" ”

Zhao Guangqing was dressed in civilian clothes at this time, took the wine jar, saw that the wine jar was very exquisite, and said with a smile: "Duan Xun, this kid is also a greedy person, give me a small altar, he must have a big altar." ”

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, Zhao Guangqing frowned, looked at the door, but saw that it was Wei Tianqing and Chu Huan who were going and returning, hurriedly got up, and arched his hand: "Lord Wei, this official is about to eat, come on, let's have a drink." ”

Wei Tianqing stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord Zhao, a person died today!" "He got straight to the point and didn't beat around the bush.

Zhao Guangqing was stunned, frowned, and said, "Lord Wei, who died?" If you can work, you can say it yourself, it's not ordinary people who die. ”

"I don't know either." Wei Tianqing said: "But this person instructed someone to listen to the conversation between me and General Chu Wei, and we found out, but when he chased him, he died on the street." ”

"Dead on the street?" Zhao Guangqing was slightly surprised: "Lord Wei, is it ......!" ”

"We didn't kill us, we died of poisoning." Wei Tianqing sat down, and Zhao Guangqing beckoned Chu Huan to sit down as well, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Lord Wei, what's going on, this official is a little confused." ”

Wei Tianqing stared at Zhao Guangqing and asked, "Lord Zhao, can you send someone to bring Duan Xun over now, I have something to ask him." After a pause, he frowned and said, "General Chu and I have gone to the city gate to look for him before, but there is no trace of him!" ”

Zhao Guangqing didn't say a word, and immediately shouted: "Someone! Waiting for the next person to come over, he ordered: "Hurry up and pass Duan Xun over, just say that the official has something urgent to discuss with him, hurry up!" ”

The subordinate was ordered to go.

Zhao Guangqing waited for the others to leave, and immediately frowned and asked, "Lord Wei, what are you looking for Duan Xun to do?" Could it be that the dead man has anything to do with Duan Xun? Picked up the wine jar, opened the wine seal, and took two more wine glasses, and was about to pour them for the two, but Chu Huan had already gotten up and took the wine jar and poured the wine himself, he was a guard general after all, and Wei Tianqing and Zhao Guangqing's official positions were much higher than him, so naturally he poured the wine.

Wei Tianqing said: "When we were chasing that person, Duan Qianhu happened to run into it, cut off that person's arm, and kicked that person ......!" ”

Zhao Guangqing sighed: "Duan Qianhu's temper is hot, and the official often advises him not to act impatiently, but this kid has never taken it to heart...... Suddenly thinking of something, he said in surprise: "Lord Wei, you shouldn't say that the person was kicked to death by Duan Xun, right?" ”

Chu Huan finally said at this time: "That person was not kicked to death, but poisoned." ”

"Poisoned?" Zhao Guangqing looked confused, obviously confused, and asked, "Why was he poisoned again?" The more I listened, the more confused I became. ”

Wei Tianqing said lightly: "When Duan Xun comes over, I will also ask him why that person died of poisoning." ”

Zhao Guangqing picked up the wine glass and said with a wry smile: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, the official is still preparing to have a good year, but strange things happen frequently, and the official seems to have a bad time this year." He also said: "Lord Wei, Duan Xun has a strange temperament, but he is also loyal to his duties, the official doesn't know what you think of him, but when he comes, please treat Lord Wei calmly." He smiled faintly and said: "This jar of wine was sent by him at dusk, and for this jar of wine, the official will say a good word for him......!" With that, the rim of the cup was already close to his lips, and he was about to drink it all.

Chu Huan narrowed his eyes, but Wei Tianqing had already said sharply: "Don't drink!" ”

Zhao Guangqing was stunned, put down the wine glass, and said unhappily: "Lord Wei, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "I'm just afraid that if Lord Zhao drinks this cup of wine, he won't even be able to pass this year." ”

"Master Wei, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense." Zhao Guangqing suddenly changed color, and said angrily: "Do you think that this wine is also poisonous?" Do you think the official is trying to poison you in the wine? ”

Wei Tianqing shook his head and said lightly: "We are not worried that Lord Zhao will poison us, we are only worried that someone will poison Lord Zhao!" ”

"Poisoning the official?" Zhao Guangqing was stunned: "You mean Duan Xun? Duan Xun wants to poison his own official? Then he burst out laughing, waved his hand, and said, "It won't be like this." Master Wei didn't know that although Duan Qianhu had only been in Tongzhou for four years, he and I had a similar temperament and were very obedient to the official, and the official also appreciated him very much. Duan Qianhu is low-key and capable, he is a rare talent, if it weren't for avoiding suspicion, this official would almost become a brother with him...... Over the years, Duan Xun has helped the official a lot, and the official is also ready to recommend him to the imperial court for another promotion, how could he poison the official? He smiled, obviously not believing Wei Tianqing's words at all.

Wei Tianqing sighed: "If Lord Zhao doesn't believe it, you can test whether this wine is poisonous." I'm not sure it's necessarily poisonous, but there's something strange about it, but it's just to remind Lord Zhao to be careful. ”

Zhao Guangqing said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Wei for reminding me." Lord Wei is used to leading troops to fight, so he is really careful ...... everything! In the laughter, a silver needle was already taken, and he said with a smile: "I have also heard people say that this silver needle is the most convenient for drug testing, and if it is poisonous, the silver needle will change color." After speaking, the silver needle poked into the cup and said with a smile: "How could Duan Xun poison me, Lord Wei is really suspicious this time...... Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

Several people present could clearly see that the silver needle had turned black, which also proved that the wine was indeed poisonous.

Zhao Guangqing was stunned for a moment, sweat broke out on his forehead, and then he was furious, slapped the table heavily, and said sharply: "Come on, immediately lead someone to tie up Duan Xun to this official!" ”

"My lord, someone has been sent to pass it on!" The servant reminded.

"You take someone and tie him up." Zhao Guangqing looked extremely angry: "He actually hurt me...... How dare he poison my ......! He had already stood up, his expression contorted with anger, and when he saw an antique on the table next to him, he grabbed it and slammed it on the ground, and the antique was shattered on the ground.

Zhao Guangqing was short of breath, and after a while, he finally realized that he was out of shape, turned around, sat down again, and said with a wry smile: "Let the two of you laugh." It's just that the official never thought of ......! He shook his head, sighed, and then frowned and asked, "Lord Wei, how did you know that Duan Xun was going to poison the wine?" If you hadn't stopped it in time, I'm afraid this official would have been a corpse by now. ”

Wei Tianqing said: "Lord Zhao, I want to ask, this Xun is only in charge of city defense in Tongzhou?" ”

Zhao Guangqing thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Wei, although there are many officials in Tongzhou, there are not many people who are trusted in this pass, and there are only a handful of talents who can really do things." After a pause, he continued: "This Xun is low-key, and he has always reassured the official. You must also know that the situation in Tongzhou is complicated, and the energy of the official is limited, so he can't manage everything, so he gave Duan Xun some power, and all the major checkpoints in Tongzhou were handed over to Duan Xun to deal with...... In fact, what this official is most worried about is that there are knives and horses flowing into my Tongzhou, once these things fall into the hands of the chaotic party, the consequences are unimaginable, Duan Xun is capable, and he is in charge of this affairs, so that this official can ...... at ease! ”

Wei Tianqing clenched his fists and said, "That's it." ”

"What?"

"Lord Zhao, you also know that the weapons and equipment hidden in Heishui Mountain are not a small amount." Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "I have been thinking about how such a huge amount of weapons and equipment flowed into Tongzhou, and how it was transported to the ...... of Heishui Mountain!" ”

Zhao Guangqing sighed: "Lord Wei, I won't tell you, after you left before, this official has also been thinking about this problem, if it weren't for the problem at the road level, it would be absolutely impossible for these weapons to enter Heishui Mountain, but...... The official has a lot of trust in Duan Xun, and the official doesn't believe that he has a problem......! He groaned slightly, and said with a solemn expression: "Now it seems that Duan Xun has nothing to do with this matter...... It's just that the official really can't figure out why he wants to do this, he has a bright future, as long as he works hard, he will have a future in the future, but why...... But why did he collude with the bandits of Heishui Mountain. His expression was solemn, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes, obviously he really couldn't figure it out.

Duan Xun is now in the Tongzhou camp of thousands of households, as long as he is able to do things well, and has Zhao Guangqing's sponsorship, he will definitely have the opportunity to be promoted in the future, but he gave up his good future and was secretly implicated in Heishui Mountain, what is the reason for this?

Wei Tianqing thought for a while and said, "The matter has not yet been determined, and we can't be sure that everything is related to Duan Xun, and this matter still needs to be investigated and interrogated." ”

Zhao Guangqing nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Not long after, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, and the subordinates who had previously sent to summon Duan Xun came to the hall, Zhao Guangqing immediately got up and asked urgently: "Duan Xun has been passed over?" Where are the others? ”

The subordinate said in a rough manner: "My lord, Duan Qianhu...... Duan Qianhu has disappeared, and the little one went to his house to look for someone...... But there are only a dozen or so domestic servants left in his house, and his wife and children are nowhere to be found! ”

"What?" Zhao Guangqing was suddenly eclipsed.

Wei Tianqing got up and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that he has already run away?" ”

"The little one asked, before dawn yesterday, Duan Qianhu's wife and children had already left." The servant said, "The servants don't know where they went. Duan Qianhu went home in the afternoon, as if he was looking for something, and after leaving, he didn't go back to the house. ”

Zhao Guangqing said angrily: "If you send someone to find him again, you must tie him back to me." He raised his hand and pointed to the door, and said sharply: "Don't go quickly, you want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die, go find them!" ”

The subordinate hurriedly retreated.

Zhao Guangqing turned his head and trembled with anger: "This official trusts him so much, I can't imagine it...... I didn't think of him, but he was ruthless. Inserted the official ......! The murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "When the official finds him, he must be broken into pieces...... There are also the bandits in Heishui Mountain, and this official will not let go of ......! As if thinking of something again, he called his subordinates again and ordered: "Immediately send someone to surround Duan Xun's mansion, all his servants will be arrested and imprisoned, and I will search his mansion from the inside out ......!" ”
