After listening to the meeting between Duguqing and Feng Daicheng, Poxi fell into deep thought. The master said that the Bashu region was nominally already part of the territory of the Qin State. In the past few decades, Bashu has indeed not made any counter-actions.

The management of Bashu is still managed by the descendants of the two families of Ba and Shu, but they pay tribute to Xianyang on time every year. And Xianyang because of decades of Bashu's "peace and self-control", but also from the beginning of the strict control gradually became loose, coupled with several generations of Qin kings have been trying to plot the ambition of dominating the world, so that the management of Bashu is negligent, and the original clan is allowed to manage Bashu in the original way. Except for the fact that the central government did not allow Bashu to have an army, they were left to their own devices.

Although the Feng family has always been a courtier under the King of Shu, the influence of the Feng family on the Shu State is not lower than that of the King of Shu. Now whether it is the Feng family or the King of Shu, they are very peaceful. In particular, the Feng family even shifted from the political center to the status of merchants. But the aristocracy who has been in Shu for hundreds or thousands of years is really so willing to give up his aristocratic status and become a lowest-ranking businessman, just to make money? Why make so much money?

"Honey, what are you thinking?" Dugu Qing saw that Perxi completely ignored others, held his chin without saying a word, raised his hand and shook it in front of Perxi's eyes.

Poxi came back to his senses and smiled: "It's nothing, I just came to Bashu, although I really don't know the situation here, but I always feel that this place seems to be calm, but it makes people feel not so calm." ”

"Do you think something is going to happen?"

"I don't know, but there's one thing that needs to be figured out."

"What is it?"

"Where did the Dansha and iron ore purchased by the Feng family go?"

"Wow, dear, you want to go with me. Originally, I didn't bother to care what they were going to do, but I took my Dugu Qing brush, and I didn't want to gnaw on Miss Ben's boring loss. ”

After Duguqing finished speaking, he approached Poxi, hugged Poxi's arm intimately, and said with a smile: "My dear, do you think we can plan it well and see how to play with Feng Daicheng?" ”

"Hey, hey, don't call me a little fairy with a kiss, if you don't change your mouth, it's a habit, and you will be unlucky in the future." Liu Chang first heard Duguqing call Poxi dear at first, and the more he listened, the more worried he became about her, how could this title be so wrong, could the king be happy to hear others call his queen "dear"? The answer is definitely no. Therefore, no matter how familiar Duguqing is, something will happen sooner or later.

"Do you care? I'm happy, and people don't say no to call. Or are you jealous, or I will call you dear? ”

"Oh mother, don't be disgusted with me, I still want to see people." Liu Chang trembled when he heard Duguqing's words, and rejected Duguqing's "kindness" with a disgusted face.

"Uncle, you may need to find a way to check the situation inside the Feng family and see if you can find an account book or something to prove the whereabouts of the iron ore and dansha." Po Xi looked at the bickering between Duguqing and Liu Chang, and smiled without saying much, and instead instructed Liu Chang to find an opportunity to investigate the Feng family's business dealings.

"Okay, I'll go to Feng's house tonight to test the situation before making plans."

Dugu Qing had other ideas, she patted the desk: "I want to go to Feng's house to investigate, but there is another way to understand the situation." ”

"Sister Qing, what's your plan?"

"The Feng family has a warehouse dedicated to storing goods, and my men send dansha and iron ore to that warehouse every time. According to the guy, that warehouse is almost exclusively stocked with dansa and iron ore. The Feng family's business involves a variety of things, but the other goods are stored in warehouses in the city, while the warehouses for iron ore and dansha are stored in the mountains outside the city, and the warehouses are guarded day and night. ”

"In this case, there is indeed a problem, without further ado, I will act tonight, but I can only go to one place to investigate alone, and I may have to go to the warehouse outside the city tomorrow night to investigate the situation."

"It's okay, uncle, you go to the Feng family, I'll go to the warehouse outside the city."

"No, how can you go to such a dangerous place." Duguqing disagreed with the Per Creek adventure.

"Although I can't bear the little fairy's hard work, but since the warehouse is in the mountains, I don't have to worry about it."

After listening to Liu Chang's words, Duguqing finally reacted: "Yes, there is the protection of "thousands of troops" in the deep mountains, hehehe, I forgot, there is really nothing to worry about." ”

So, after nightfall, Liu Chang went to Feng's house alone, and Poxi and Duguqing, as well as Duguqing's trusted guard captain Sun Mo also went to the Fengjia warehouse outside the city to understand the situation.

Sure enough, when the three of them came to the vicinity of the warehouse, they found that the warehouse was brightly lit and there were quite a few patrols. A team of centaurs was transporting something deeper into the mountains.

"Miss, look at the goods transported by the truck should not be ordinary goods, obviously not full of carts, but the weight needs to be pulled by two horses, and a few big men need to help push it behind, it is obvious that it is the same weight as iron ore to be so laborious."

Sun Mo often escorted iron ore and dansha from Badi to Shu to hand them over to the Feng family, and he knew very well how much the weight of iron ore could reach.

"Don't be in a hurry first, find a way to confirm whether it is iron ore and dansha first." After Dugu Qing finished speaking, he was thinking about how to enter the warehouse to see what the goods were.

"They are too strictly guarded, and there are too many of them, so we are afraid that we will not be able to enter."

"Let Bai Yang go, if there is really dansha, Bai Yang can take out some as evidence."

Perxi suggested that when they went out, the three tiger cubs wanted to come with them, but Perxi was worried that they would be easy to be discovered, and the white light of the tigers' eyes was especially bright at night. So he left Shirahoshi and Shiratsuki in the room. And Bai Yang's eyes were covered by a thicker strip of white cloth by Per Xi, but it would not affect Bai Yang, it could still see clearly normally.

So, Poxi sent Bai Yang to the warehouse, and the three of them hid in the dark and waited quietly.

After a while, Bai Yang returned to the place where they were hiding, and sure enough, there was something in his mouth, and he spit out the contents of his mouth on the ground. Duguqing picked it up from the ground and looked at it by the moonlight. The corners of his mouth twitched: "Feng Dai inherited this bastard, and really played self-directed and self-acting for me, and he didn't receive dansha and iron ore from me for half a year, but there was a steady stream of goods in this warehouse." ”

"Miss, it's obvious that the first few times the goods were stolen by them."

"Hmph, don't you need to talk about it. This turtle grandson, play with me like this, Miss Ben won't spit out this breath, and I will give him Feng Dai to carry shoes as a girl. ”

"Sister Qing, let's not be in a hurry first, I want to know, what is the use of this iron ore and dansha?"

"What other use can it be, all countries use iron ore to smelt weapons......" Dugu Qing suddenly stopped speaking, and instantly became enlightened: "Weapons, that's right, weapons, Feng Daicheng is secretly building weapons." ”

Excited for a moment, Duguqing's voice unconsciously raised, and a dog barking came from the warehouse. The three of them hurriedly retreated, away from the warehouse and back to the city.

When he returned to the inn, Liu Chang went to the inn one step ahead of them, and it seemed that he had been waiting for them for a while, and when he saw them coming back, he quickly got up and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"Well, don't worry, uncle, we didn't startle the snakes, they didn't know that we had been to the warehouse." After talking about the situation on his side, Po Xi asked again: "Uncle, have you found anything?" ”

"The Feng family is very big, and there are many soldiers, so I finally avoided the soldiers and found the study of the head of the Feng family, but there was nothing special, and I didn't find any secret room. That Feng Daicheng also has his own study, but he doesn't seem to be afraid of being tired, he has been turning on the light and discussing things with two people, and there are several guards guarding the door of the study, I don't dare to get too close, I stayed far away for two hours, and found that he had no intention of resting, so he came back first, thinking that it was a big deal to go tomorrow night to see if there was a chance to go in to check. ”

"Well, in this way, you can't over-investigate, and for the time being, you can't let them notice that someone is investigating their Feng family." Po Xi nodded in agreement with Liu Chang's approach.

"What about you, did you find anything?"

As soon as he mentioned what he had just investigated, Dugu Qing became angry again, and said angrily: "That shameless Feng Daicheng really didn't want to be a nobleman and a bandit, and he ate my goods a few times before." And it's not like he said that he took it out and changed hands, it is very likely that his Feng family used it to smelt weapons themselves. ”

"The Bashu region is not allowed to have weapons, they are so bold?" Liu Chang also began to feel that things were getting more and more difficult. But Liu Chang had another question: "It's understandable that iron ore is used to refine weapons, but what about dansha?" Dansha can't smelt weapons, what do they want so much dansha for? ”

"Dansha is a kind of medicine, and dansha is needed to refine some pills, but dansha itself is poisonous, and it is not a good medicine if you use it more, but a poison. But I still don't know what they use dansha for, if it is not for export, they can't use it that much. ”

"In this way, the Feng family is afraid that there are more secrets, but since they are so secretive, it is not easy to find out." Liu Chang thought with a serious face.

"No matter how secretive it is, there will be flaws, and the next step is to follow the clues to see where they transported the iron ore. In other words, to see where they stole their weapons. ”

"Dugu, you're right, you have to do it step by step, where are the clues to check, one day, all the clues will be connected to produce a result."

Po Xi couldn't figure out the ins and outs for a while, but this Feng family took the risk of killing their heads and exterminating the clan to privately refine weapons, and they must have prepared a desperate fight. However, does the mother's death have anything to do with the Feng family? Because he had no clue, Perxi's mood darkened. She is not afraid of how much time it will take to investigate slowly, she is afraid that she will not be able to return to Xianyang and return to his side as scheduled.

Liu Chang looked at Po Xi's smiling little face and comforted: "Little fairy, let's not worry, this is just the beginning of the investigation, and if we continue to investigate, something else may appear." ”

"In the current situation, I feel that what the Feng family has done may be thousands of times more serious than killing their mother, and even so serious that it will endanger the government...... Endangered the Qin State. ”

The clues found now have almost nothing to do with the mother's death. But in contrast, she was more worried that Bashu's hidden conspiracy would cause more serious harm to the Qin state.

Liu Chang also had a hunch that things were not very simple, and if he really wanted to investigate, he was afraid that it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Not to mention Perxi, even he himself was a little anxious, and he wanted to take her back to Xianyang as soon as possible. Before leaving Bashu, Yingzheng privately explained to him that he must protect Perxi and not make a mistake. The more time passes, the more danger Perry Creek may encounter. He was afraid that he would not be able to protect Poxi with all his might, and it would not be Poxi who he would be sorry for at that time, but also the king who treated him as his family.

Duguqing knew in her heart that there was still something that Poxi and Liu Chang hadn't told her, and she didn't blame them, she had been in this generation for ten years, and it could be said that she had also experienced some ups and downs. I also have a general understanding of the cruelty of this era and the changes of the times. So she's not in a hurry to figure out everything about Per Creek. It's just that she has regarded Perxi as her own sister, and in her other memory, there is a girl who looks exactly like Perxi and the most important person in her life. Now in this world, when she sees Perxi, she will inexplicably think of her as that girl.

The night passed, and the next day, it was drizzling, and the gloomy sky did not make it easy to feel good.

Liu Chang thought about it without further ado, and wanted to go to the Feng family's warehouse outside the city to check it again, and by the way, see if he could find the den where the Feng family secretly built weapons.

Dugu Qing saw that Poxi did not stop him, so he ordered Sun Mo to take Liu Chang over, after all, Sun Mo was familiar with the way, and many people took care of him.

The warehouse no longer needs to confirm anything, but has to follow the Feng family's road to transport goods into the deep forest. Liu Chang and Sun Mo avoided the already smooth road and walked along the road from the side for more than an hour. But I found that at the end of the road was a cliff, and I could barely see the bottom.

The two of them were wondering, except for a clearly smooth road leading to the cliff, no one could be seen in this way, let alone any dens for crafting weapons.

Originally, when the two of them wanted to retreat, they heard the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of people talking. So the two quickly dodged and observed.

In a short time, several carts carrying goods were drawn one after the other, and there were five or six in a row. I saw those people park their cars on the edge of the cliff, lift the thick cloth covering the goods, and large stones leaked out.

Sun Mo saw that it was iron ore and dansha, and then saw those people pour all the iron ore and dansha down the cliff, and after cleaning up, one of them said: "This is the last batch, Badi Dugu family will not supply it again, and the materials may be cut off below, and other sources of goods are not enough at all, so you can only rely on the goods of the Dugu family." I don't know how Feng Shizi talked to the Dugu family? ”

Another person replied: "Dugu's family has suffered a few losses, it should not be the official road again, Duguqing suspended the supply because he didn't want the goods to be robbed again and again, he shouldn't have robbed them secretly, but now the shortage will delay the big thing." ”

"Shh......h You don't want to die, you dare to say this kind of thing. One of them mysteriously stopped the remarks.

"Forget it, let Feng Shizi solve it, he is in charge of this piece and see if he can find the source of goods from elsewhere. We're just one of the little flags, and we can't do that much. ”

After those people walked and said to leave, Liu Chang and Sun Mo came out to look at the bottom of the cliff. Because it was too high, it was deep in the mountains, and there was rain and fog blocking it, so I couldn't see the situation below clearly.

"It seems that there is still a situation under the cliff, and the den for building weapons is estimated to be at the bottom of the cliff." Sun Mo analyzed and said.

"Well, there's no doubt about it, it must be so." Liu Chang held his chin and echoed Sun Mo's thoughts, then raised the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows: "I'll go down and take a look when it's dark." ”

"Ah, how do you go down?" Sun Mo looked incredulous.

"Hehe, as long as there is no big golden snake down there, it won't be a problem to go down." Liu Chang smiled confidently, regardless of whether Sun Mo understood his words or not.

Seeing that it was still raining, the two hid back in a hidden place that was not easy to be noticed, and waited for ...... to get dark.
