Chapter 41: In Search of the East

Chen Jintong has long regarded Dongfang Xuanze as a confidant of Lan Yan, and Dongfang Xuanze has often helped her during this period of time.

"Girl, you must not die without help, no one can help him except you." Xiao Ding looked at Chen Jintong and seemed to have a look of hesitation on his face, and hurriedly kowtowed.

"Get up, get up!"

The reason why she hesitated was not that the friendship between the two of them was not enough to make a move, but that the coal plant was still operating, and she didn't dare to leave because she didn't need to take care of all the big and small things here.

"Your Excellency!" Xiao Ding screamed eagerly, Chen Jintong was afraid that Xiao Ding's wound would be torn, so he hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, this matter is on me." Now I have a few questions to ask, so come with me and we'll go back first. ”

There are many eyes and ears in the Hou Mansion, and Chen Jintong has been calculated many times, so he has already instinctively been vigilant, so he took Xiao Ding to enter through the back door.

She supported Xiao Ding, and when she went back, she found that Xiao Ding was scarred, and the tragedy had already exceeded her expectations. But then again, Chen Jintong was born as a mercenary after all, and their line is fully developed.

Therefore, Chen Jintong in his previous life had learned a lot of physiotherapy for injuries, and this injury was not a problem, and after bandaging Xiaoding, Guo'er sent food over.

Xiao Ding was also hungry for a long time, and at this moment receiving their warm and kind preferential treatment and treatment, he couldn't help but devour his appetite, he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start.

Chen Jintong naturally knew what Xiao Ding was going to say, but he was not in a hurry, and motioned for Xiao Ding to eat first.

Xiao Ding feasted happily, and the Guo'er and others next to him were swallowing saliva, as if today's meal was very extraordinary.

"What do you see? Chen Jintong noticed that they were making a fuss, and scolded: "Eat, eat quickly, everyone will perform their duties from tomorrow, and there will be more things to do." ”

Everyone feasted and ate all the food on the table, and at this moment, Chen Jintong looked at Xiao Ding again, "Tell me, who assassinated you?" ”

It turned out that today's emperor arranged for Dongfang Xuanze to go to a county town where the disaster was serious to deal with government affairs, and the gold and silver in the treasury were always embezzled.

He was worried for a long time, and after thinking about it, he still felt that killing Dongfang Xuanze was capable of such a difficult mission, first of all, Dongfang Xuanze was more yin, he was not favorable, he was impartial, and he didn't help his relatives.

Secondly, Dongfang Xuanze and the emperor generally hated corruption and bribery, so they arranged for him to visit and investigate, and took good measures.

Dongfang Xuanze can be regarded as being ordered in danger, knowing the heavy burden on his shoulders, he does things differently from the rest.

If the rest of the people are bound to make a big splash, but he is different, after Dongfang Xuanze got the order, he led a few of his personal guards and Xiao Ding to the county seat, and there was no trouble in checking the corruption and bribery.

It is clear how much money the court has allocated, where the money is used, and when it is used, although they have sat on two accounts, one yin and one yang, but they only need to go to the people to verify where the arrears go.

If a lot of silver is missing, it is effortless to investigate, and when Dongfang Xuanze, Lord Yin of Nafu, arrived, he did not dare to hide it, and immediately led a group of family members to come over to greet him.

"Lord Shizi," he kneeled in front of Dongfang Xuanze, his cry was earth-shattering, and people who didn't know thought that Dongfang Xuanze was bullying people, "Lord Shizi, the crime of despicability deserves death, and the crime deserves death." ”

The county magistrate saw the incident in the east window, not only did not hide it, but also poured beans into the bamboo tube to tell the ins and outs of the matter, Dongfang Xuanze listened carefully, asked a few questions from time to time, and found that his answer was very consistent with what he was thinking.

"The matter of swallowing the silver money of the imperial court is not done by one person, the prince of the world, please catch them one by one, and wait for the money to come to the lowly position, there is nothing left for the lowly position, and please investigate them more."

Dongfang Xuanze heard this, his thick eyebrows twisted, of course he understood that such a big thing was not as it seemed on the surface.

"Take it! Quickly delivered to Zhongjing! Dongfang Xuanze glared at Lord Yin of Nafu fiercely, and several wolf-like guards had come at a gallop, and they tied up Lord Yin of this Mansion in three or two strokes, and Lord Yin of this Mansion was taken away by crying wolf.

The process of dealing with the matter was very simple, after he had done all this, he left with Xiao Ding.

On this road, everything was still calm, but the carriage was galloping, and it seemed that it was about to arrive in Zhongjing, but the two encountered an ambush, this is a group of people who have been ambushed for a long time, and their sneak attack skills are also good, first tripping the horse with rattan, and then a few ups and downs approached them.

Dongfang Xuanze is also a strong martial artist, but he is outnumbered, he throws a look at Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding is already against his heart.

Later, Xiao Ding became a fish that slipped through the net, but Dongfang Xuanze's life and death were uncertain, and Chen Jintong knew everything later.

"So, do you suspect that a group of corrupt officials are going to kill people?" Chen Jintong listened to what happened, and then looked at Xiao Ding's appearance, and couldn't help but shudder.

Dongfang Xuanze seems to be a good gentleman, but in fact he is not, he is like a hawk falcon that is napping, it seems to be sleeping, but the big keen eyes are staring in all directions.

He has made countless enemies over the years, but he has also received a lot of support from left and right, according to Xiao Ding's reasoning, the people who attacked them must be those who have been investigated.

But everything is based on reasoning, and there is no evidence at all.

"Where's the weapon?" Chen Jintong said again: "What weapons did they use?" ”

"Ordinary Yanling knife, ghost head knife." It's also too ordinary.

The people in the court mostly use embroidered spring knives, and the people in the rivers and lakes use ghost head knives, Chen Jintong was puzzled, "Okay, you have a good rest, I will find your master tomorrow." ”

"Please hurry up, my lord, human life is very valuable." Of course, she Chen Jintong is racing against time, but with this position, where can she drop her arms and leave.

Still, I still said a few words of encouragement, and Chen Jintong went to another room to rest, and the next day, she got up very early and went to the coal factory together.

Zhang Fu looked at the sky, the morning light was faint, and only a touch of fish belly white appeared in the east, but Chen Jintong had been waiting at the gate of the coal factory for a while, and in the distance, a group of people arrived one after another against the rising sun, Chen Jintong found the supervisor and Zhang Fu and the rest of the leaders to hold an impromptu meeting.

Arrange everyone to perform their duties, if there is something to stop production immediately, in fact, the coal plant has entered the normal operation process, and it is taken care of by the imperial court, and there will be no problem in waiting for leisure.
