Chapter 162: Snooping

In the tavern, Chu Huan's words were soft, but Wei Tianqing was thrilled to hear them, and when Chu Huan finished speaking, Wei Tianqing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't say a word, but his two fists were already clenched tightly, and the green tendons on his fists were sudden, which showed the anger and shock in his heart.

After a period of silence, Wei Tianqing finally asked in a very low voice, "Brother Chu, you mean ......!" ”

Chu Huan didn't wait for him to finish, he already shook his head and said, "Brother Wei misunderstood, what Little Brother meant was not what Big Brother Wei thought. It's just that these doubts are hovering in the little brother's heart, and they can only be said to Brother Wei. ”

Wei Tianqing's expression was solemn, and he whispered: "Brother Chu, if it weren't for you like this, I really wouldn't have thought of this, I only knew how to lead troops to fight, and I always thought that Heishui Mountain was a gang of bandits, even if I found a large number of weapons and equipment, I only thought that it was the bandits' intention to rebel, and I really couldn't think of ......it!" He groaned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chu, there are only you and me here, let me ask you, do you think there is something else hidden in the matter of Heishui Mountain?" Or even a matter involving the government? ”

Chu Huan said solemnly: "If it is a rich and peaceful state, the younger brother is not willing to think about it yet, but as Brother Wei said, this Tongzhou is a place where the people are extremely resentful, and there are turmoil from time to time. At the very least, the control of knives and horses and other materials is extremely strict, and the inventory at checkpoints, passes, and land and water should be more strict......! ”

"Not bad...... yes!" Wei Tianqing was thoughtful, and nodded again and again: "There are strange ...... in Tongzhou!" He clenched his fists and said, "Shouldn't we check where the source of these weapons came from?" There is also the yamen responsible for Tongzhou transportation, let's also check it carefully, maybe there will be a transaction ...... collusion between officials and bandits! ”

Chu Huan immediately said: "Brother Wei, this matter must not be allowed!" ”

Wei Tianqing was stunned, frowned and asked: "Brother Chu, what you said, I already feel that there is a big problem in Tongzhou, since we know, why don't we find out the situation?" ”

Chu Huan stared at Wei Tianqing and said, "Brother Wei, junior brother asks a question, where did you start?" If it was really a collusion between officials and bandits, it would not be one or two officials involved in this matter...... And we are only the Praetorian Guards, and we are not qualified to investigate the local officials. ”

Wei Tianqing hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Brother Chu, you have to know that if there are really officials involved in this matter, this matter will ...... That's amazing! ”

"Little brother understands." Chu Huan said solemnly: "But this is just our speculation here, and we are not sure that there will be officials involved." And even if we guess that there are really officials involved, then we don't have the slightest clue which officials are involved, and we can't be easily alarmed, otherwise it will definitely make the situation in Tongzhou worse, or even ...... It can even make some people take risks. ”

Wei Tianqing understood and sighed: "Brother Chu, you are cautious, and you are really a person who does great things. He asked, "Brother Chu, what should we do in your opinion?" ”

"Immovable as a mountain." Chu Huan said softly: "After we return to the army, Brother Wei can discuss this matter with the Governor, and after the Governor understands the situation, there will be countermeasures." ”

Wei Tianqing thought for a while, nodded and said, "At present, it seems that this is the only way to do it." After thinking about it, he finally couldn't help it, but he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Chu, do you think Zhao Guangqing is also involved in this matter?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily. ”

"Zhao Guangqing, as the governor of a state, is in a high position, so he should not be involved with the chaotic party." Wei Tianqing said slowly: "I think nine times out of ten, the officials under him are involved with the bandits. ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Anything is possible, but maybe nothing is possible." After a pause, his expression became more serious, and he said softly: "Brother Wei, there is one thing, the younger brother didn't want to say, but ...... This matter is an unavoidable problem! ”

Wei Tianqing seemed to understand something, and his expression became solemn.

"Very few people know about this dispatch in advance." Chu Huan sighed lightly: "But judging from the situation in Heishui Mountain, they have arranged it in advance, so they must have known the news that the Praetorian Guards came to encircle and suppress...... From the agreement to the encirclement and suppression, it was only four or five days in between, and the action was very fast, but a large number of weapons and equipment in Heishui Mountain were transferred, and there were newly set traps on the mountain, so it seems that the time for them to get ......the news was no more than one or two days before and after agreeing with the Praetorian Guard to send troops! ”

Wei Tianqing didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

Chu Huan said calmly: "The junior brother is grateful to Brother Wei, and he also learned about this matter in advance, and now, I am afraid that some people have already suspected ......!" ”

Wei Tianqing had already raised his hand to stop, and said: "Brother Chu, my Wei Tianqing is very simple, and if you recognize your brother, you will completely trust it, and you will not have the slightest doubt." The leakage of the news can never be related to you, I am convinced of this! ”

Chu Huan was stunned, seeing Wei Tianqing's sincere expression, looking at his eyes, he didn't seem to have any doubts about himself, but he was a little moved in his heart, picked up the wine jug, and was about to pour it for Wei Tianqing, Wei Tianqing had already picked up the cup and came up, but suddenly saw Chu Huan's eyes cold, and the wine jug in his hand had been thrown.

The wine jug shot like a meteor at the door curtain, this small room was very clean, no one disturbed it, and it was separated from the outside by a thick cloth curtain, and the wine jug was like a meteor, and it was smashing on the door curtain.

Chu Huan's move was full of strength, and when he heard a scream of "ouch", there was a sound outside the door curtain.

Wei Tianqing's expression changed suddenly, and the whole person was already rushing out like a leopard, and his big hand reached out, and he had already pulled in a person from outside, and then fell to the ground fiercely.

The man screamed again, almost out of breath, and struggled on the ground, his face distorted and painful.

Wei Tianqing's right foot in leather boots had already stepped on the man's chest, and when he saw that this person turned out to be a young man in the tavern, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing sneakily outside?" ”

He naturally understood at this time that Chu Huan made a sudden move, and he must have found that someone was snooping outside.

The guy said in a trembling voice: "Villain...... The villain didn't do anything...... Just come here...... Come and see the two masters...... You don't have to wait for ......! ”

Chu Huan frowned, suddenly took out a dagger from his body, squatted beside the guy, and without saying a word, a dagger was already pierced on the guy's arm, and it was neat, and the guy screamed again "Ah", almost fainting.

"Tell me, what the hell are you doing out there?" Chu Huan asked coldly, stretched out a hand to cover the guy's mouth, pulled out the dagger, the guy couldn't scream, his face was full of pain, his body struggled, and when he eased up, Chu Huan withdrew his hand and aimed the dagger at his thigh: "If there is a branch or a word of falsehood, you will be wasted today and your hands and feet will be thrown into prison again!" ”

Wei Tianqing saw that Chu Huan's ability was neat and neat, and he bowed his head slightly, and he admired it very much.

Those who do great things sometimes cannot retain the kindness of women.

Wei Tianqing and Chu Huan are dressed in armor, and they are not easy to mess with at first glance, coupled with this continuous pain, how can this little guy withstand it, and confessed in pain: "Two masters, are they ...... Someone gave the small one ten taels of silver, and let the small one ...... Let the little one listen to what the two of you have to say, and wait until you get back...... Go back and tell him what the two of them said, and he can still ...... You can also re-reward ......! ”

Wei Tianqing said coldly: "Who asked you to listen to us?" ”

The guy shook his head and said, "The little one doesn't know ......!" Seeing that the dagger in Chu Huan's hand was about to be pierced again, his soul was scattered, and he hurriedly said, "The little one is really ...... I don't really know who he is, but I know where he is! ”

Wei Tianqing and Chu Huan glanced at each other, and Chu Huan asked, "Where is it?" ”

"In the teahouse opposite!" The guy said in a trembling voice: "He...... He just called the little one over ......! ”

Wei Tianqing didn't say a word, picked up the guy, and flashed out of the small room, Chu Huan had already followed, only to see that not far from the door, the shopkeeper of the tavern was looking at this side in horror, Chu Huan had already said to the shopkeeper: "Say a word, cut your tongue!" ”

The shopkeeper reflexively covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak, and there were seven or eight guests in the tavern, all of whom were silent and didn't dare to move.

Wei Tianqing carried the guy to the flashing window, leaned his body against the wall by the window, and asked, "Take a look, if that person is still over there, see clearly!" ”

The guy was put down, looked out through the window lattice, and was soon pulled in by Wei Tianqing, and asked, "Are people still over there?" ”

"In!" The guy hurriedly said: "Just by the window on the second floor of the teahouse, the one wearing purple clothes and a bearded ......!" ”

Chu Huan probed slightly, looked over there, and whispered to Wei Tianqing: "Brother Wei, I saw it, it's over there." Then he said coldly to the man: "You must know that if you say a word, your life will be lost!" ”

"Small...... The little ones don't dare! The guy had already taken out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to Chu Huan: "This is ...... This is what the man gave to the little one...... The little one doesn't dare to tell a lie! ”

Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing glanced at each other, and the two agreed on what to do next with a look, Wei Tianqing raised his hand, and there was a palm on the back of the guy's head, and the guy rolled his eyes, and he fainted and softened.

Everyone in the tavern was discolored, but they all covered their mouths, not daring to say a word, or even to move.

Wei Tianqing walked out of the tavern at this time, and when he walked out of the tavern, his body shook suddenly, and he only took two or three steps, but the whole person seemed to be soft, and he was about to fall forward.

Chu Huan followed him, had already reached out to support him, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Wei, are you ...... What happened to you? ”
