Chen Muyan's suicide made the atmosphere in the county government even heavier. After Hua Qingfeng learned the news, he immediately summoned Master Wang and Ye Xiaotian to the second hall, Hua Qingfeng asked Ye Xiaotian with a calm face: "Ye Xiancheng, Chen Muyan is an important suspect, how can he be allowed to enter the toilet alone, and he committed suicide calmly!" ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "My lord, whether Chen Muyan was calm when she committed suicide is really impossible to test. He is the ambassador of our county's tax department, and everyone recognizes him. Now that he has become a prisoner, he will always pull down his face and be harsh for a while. This is also human nature, who would have thought that he would go to the toilet and actually ......, and the lower official has ordered him to go down and no suspect will be allowed to be alone. ”

Ever since he saw the pile of silver that was found out of Chen Muyan's house, Master Wang no longer insisted on opposing Ye Xiaotian, but began to support Ye Xiaotian's actions, and then snorted coldly: "It is a serious crime to pervert the law for personal gain. Trafficking in Burmese goods is even more of an enemy, there is only one way to die, and it is not the same as dying early and dying late? Chen Muyan didn't want to live and suffer, so there was only one way to find death. ”

Hua Qingfeng sighed again, as soon as this person committed suicide, he, as a county magistrate, had to write a very detailed report. Hua Qingfeng shook her head and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Ye Xiancheng, other suspects must be careful, and this kind of thing must not happen again." ”

As he was talking, a servant came next to him, whispering a few words in Hua Qingfeng's ear, Hua Qingfeng frowned slightly, and turned to Ye Xiaotian: "Hmm! Ye Xiancheng, Zhao Yicheng came to the county government to look for you, I think there is something important, so you can go. ”

"Retire!" Ye Xiaotian arched his hand to Hua Qingfeng and Wang Zhushu, turned around and returned to his signature room, and when he entered the signing room, he saw Zhao Yicheng sitting in his place with a very ugly face.

Ye Xiaotian smiled, motioned for a few officials in the room to retreat, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Zhao." Why do you have time to come here today? ”

Zhao Wenyuan said coldly: "Save it, Zhao is a humble official, but he can't afford to be your Brother Zhao!" Zhao is here, I just want to ask you Lord Ye, I don't know where Zhao offended you, why are you Lord Ye sincerely unable to get along with me Zhao Wenyuan? ”

Zhao Wenyuan slapped the case with a "snap", and said to Ye Xiaotian excitedly: "Xie Chuanfeng once wanted to take refuge in me, do you know why I rejected him?" Because I know the grievances between you and him, I shut him out and treat you Lord Ye. Zhao can't be said to be disrespectful, right?

Now that Xie's carriage and horse shop has fallen, only Chang's carriage and horse shop and Luo Li Gao carriage and horse shop are left side by side on the post road, what's the matter, now Chang's carriage and horse shop has become a thorn in the side of your Lord Ye again, you must get rid of it quickly, right? ”

Zhao Wenyuan is really a little angry, the task given to him by Yang Yinglong is to control the post road, he wants to control the post road, and his identity as a post is not enough. Because this is an official position given to him by the imperial court, he can be stripped of it at any time, and he must use his position to cultivate a hidden force.

To this end, he painstakingly cultivated Chang's chariot and horse shop, and has always spared no effort. It's good now, let Ye Xiaotian serve it in one go, how can Zhao Wenyuan not be annoyed.

Zhao Wenyuan leaned back in the chair and said coldly: "Let's tell you the truth." This Chang's carriage and horse shop has my share. I know that you are the backstage of Luo Li Gao's carriage and horse shop, but you Lord Ye can't eat alone! ”

Ye Xiaotian didn't think it was upset, and walked over with a smile. picked up an account book, turned a few pages, handed it to Zhao Wenyuan, and said, "Brother Zhao, look at this." ”

Zhao Wenyuan said angrily: "I don't watch!" What is there to see, what is the sin that you want to add, there is no excuse! If you want a crime, I can do it. ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry, why don't you take a closer look first, this has a lot to do with you." ”

"Huh?" When Zhao Wenyuan heard him say this, he took the account book with half a suspicion and looked at it carefully. This was transcribed by Mr. Nan from the original account books, which were full of account books and materials of Chang's Carriage and Horse Dealers.

Zhao Wenyuan held the account book, stared at the place where the caption was added, looked at the tea with wide eyes, raised his head, and said to Ye Xiaotian disdainfully: "Lord Ye, don't you be confused, right?" This is the account book of June of the eighth year of Wanli! At that time, Zhao had not yet taken office in Huxian County! What can it have to do with Zhao? ”

Ye Xiaotian nodded lightly and said meaningfully: "That's right!" You keep looking down because it has nothing to do with you! I just said it has a lot to do with you. Don't you think that you 'have a part' of Chang's Che Ma clan, and the big pile business has nothing to do with you, this is the biggest problem! ”

Zhao Wenyuan was startled, he was woken up by Ye Xiaotian, hurriedly lowered his head, continued to look at the account book, and turned a few pages in a row, Zhao Wenyuan couldn't hold it back, and went straight to the back of the account book, looking at the recent cargo transportation records, his face became even more ugly.

Zhao Wenyuan slammed his fist on the table, his face turned pale. He suddenly understood that Chang's carriage and horse shop had always been engaged in the prohibition of smuggling, this was the case when Qi Mu was there, and it was the same when Chang Zizi supported the door alone after Qi Mu's death, and it was still like this after he was cast under his door, the question was...... He was unaware of this and did not derive any benefit from it.

After Qi Mu's death, the tree fell and scattered, and the Qi family became a mess of loose sand, but this carriage and horse shop has always been standing, and now it seems that the root cause is because of the forbidden channels for smuggling and trafficking in the hands of this carriage and horse shop. Chang Zizi was surrendered by him with both soft and hard, and now it seems that Chang Zizi was really surrendered by him?

He spared no effort to cultivate Chang Zizai, thinking that he was in control of the life and death of Chang's carriage and horse shop, but who knew that he was just a fool who was used by others, Chang's carriage and horse shop was simply pushing the boat down the river and using him as a cheap umbrella.

Ye Xiaotian patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said sympathetically: "Trust is a knife, if you give it to someone else, others will have two choices, stab you or pull out the knife for you!" Unfortunately, the choice is ...... Stab you! ”

Last night, the fast catchers suddenly rushed to Chang's carriage and horse shop, took Chang Zizi and a few big stewards, and the people who tossed the carriage and horse shop were panicked and couldn't sleep all night. Early the next morning, the guys rushed to work one after another, and when they heard that something had happened to the owner, it became a mess.

At this time, two people sneaked into the backyard, opened the corner gate, and left along the mountain road behind. These two people, one is called Sun Rui and the other is Shi Jin, they are Chang Zi's entourage, although they are limited to their personal ability, they do not hold any position in the carriage and horse shop, but they are Chang Zizi's henchmen.

Last night, I suddenly broke into the carriage and horses, and I often felt that there was a ghost in my heart, and of course I was very worried. But the idea of resisting arrest only flashed in his mind and then disappeared, if he wanted to resist arrest, it is difficult to say how many people would be willing to work with him, and besides, he asked himself that he had no handle in the hands of the government.

So, Chang Zizi decided to "tie his hands", but at the same time, he also made an explanation to Sun Rui and Shi Jin: their smuggling goods were hidden in a very secret place, but there were not a few people who knew that this batch of smuggling goods were stored in zài.

Transported all the way, those charioteers and escorting samurai knew that when they hid the smuggled goods, the Lifu who carried the goods knew that although these people were people who had followed him for many years, and most of them were loyal and reliable, but now that he was in prison, God knows if there would be any rebellion among these people.

Moreover, the government has done it blatantly, can there be no evidence in hand? Chang Zizi even suspected that the goods had been mastered by the government. So he instructed his two henchmen to find an opportunity to find out whether the goods were safe, and if the goods were intact and had not yet been discovered, they would be moved to the left and buried nearby.

At this time, Chang's carriage and horse shop was in a mess, some men were worried that the carriage and horse shop would go out of business, and they would lose their jobs, and some men were worried that the proprietor would be arrested, and the wages they had not yet received would be wasted, and the two took the opportunity to leave.

Hua Yunfei came last night, and saw that no one in Chang's carriage and horse shop resisted arrest, so he didn't show up, he took two catchers and lurked on the spot, and when the catchers locked Chang Zizi and the others left, they didn't leave. After Ye Xiaotian's guidance, Hua Yunfei had been hiding on the back hillside, and Sun Rui and Shi Jin were discovered by them as soon as they moved.

Sun Rui and Shi Jin stopped and stopped, looking back from time to time, Hua Yunfei and the three of them were hiding in the bushes on the hillside, how could they find out. If there is a small mountain village behind this mountain, then it is not surprising that there is such a path on the mountain, but behind this mountain is just a group of strange rocks that rise and fall.

Most of the stones were blue-black in color and of various shapes, with only a few weeds and shrubs growing in betweeds. It's not easy to walk through it. Sun Rui and Shi Jin walked all the way through the strange rocks, turned the corner of the mountain in front of them and disappeared.

Their way down the mountain was full of stones, and it was not easy to cover their figures, so Hua Yunfei took the two catchers to squat patiently in the bushes and did not move, just staring at their whereabouts from a distance, and when they disappeared into the corner of the mountain, Hua Yunfei said to the two catchers: "Wait here, I'll take a look!" ”

The two of them were not as good as him in their ability to climb mountains and mountains, and nodded their heads in agreement, Hua Yunfei jumped out of the grass and rushed down the mountain with arrows. Although this section of the mountain road is difficult to walk, Hua Yunfei is as light and agile as a spirit ape.

When he had made a swift pursuit down the mountain, and when he had turned the corner, he saw a long narrow valley in front of him, and in the middle of it a stream, which was very wide, but not deep, and the deepest part was only knee-deep, and the surface of the water was exposed with many stones of different sizes and shapes.

Hua Yunfei frowned, although this mountain road is difficult to walk, it doesn't take much time for him, it's only a moment of effort, why did those two people disappear completely?

Hua Yunfei was careful, and touched forward against the corner of the mountain, but he was not more than ten zhang away, and suddenly found that a dark cave appeared on his side, and the vine was hanging upside down, very secretive.
