Chapter 410: The Truth of the Matter

Zhao Qingyan went to Shen Jinyu's mansion to draw the design plan for the restoration of the Fuzhou dam, and Wen Qiao was also not idle.

After being reminded by Zhao Qingyan of the whole thing of escorting grain and grass, Wen Qiao prepared money and food and a change of clothes and set off for Linzhou.

He always felt that the matter of escorting grain and grass was wrong, and after guessing that there might be a big man behind Jiang Cheng, he became more and more cautious.

He didn't even use the horse on Wynne's house when he set out, and he didn't go through the gate. He was dressed in a black suit, and for convenience, his hair was neatly tied up on the top of his head with a jade crown.

He carried a small bag on his back, which contained a change of clothes, a bag of water, and a few flatbreads that he had grabbed in the closet of the room.

There was also some silver, and after putting the things in the baggage, he carried it directly to his body, and left a piece of paper for Zhao Qingyan before leaving, which only simply wrote that he had something to do and needed to go out for a few days.

There was not a word on paper about where he was going and what he was going to do.

He was cautious and unwilling to let others know where he was, and if anyone else knew, his chances might be thwarted.

When Wen Qiao walked out of the room, it was dark, and the sky above his head was dark and oppressive, and the airtight darkness was everywhere.

There was no one outside in the entire Wynne Mansion, he took advantage of the night to find the wall on the edge of the Wynne Mansion, and turned over cleanly out of the Wynne Mansion in a few movements.

After spending some time on the streets, when the capital opened the city gate, he went directly to the city gate.

The gate of the capital will be opened at dawn, and at this time there will be a rush out of the city and the gate of the capital waiting, with a large flow of people and more convenient to hide.

The soldiers guarding the city gate did not know Wen Qiao, and after being checked with the others as usual, Wen Qiao successfully left the capital.

He walked a few miles east without stopping, and at last he waited for the man he wanted to wait for in front of the only farmhouse in a sparsely populated area.

The clothes on Ling Yi's body were exactly the same as Wen Qiao's, he was holding two horses in his hands, his temperament was cold and gloomy, the reins of the horses were holding his hands, and the two horses were stunned and their hooves did not move.

Unlike Wen Qiao, his black hair was tied behind his head with a red rope half-draped and half-bundled.

There are a few strands of broken hair on the forehead, and the cold and hard facial contours are not blocked in the slightest.

After Wen Qiao walked in front of him towards Ling Yi's place, Ling Yi gave Wen Qiao the reins of a horse, and shouted to Wen Qiao without emotion, "Master." ”

Wen Qiao nodded, and then the two of them didn't say much, they stepped on the horse, turned the direction and rode out on horseback. Wen Qiao didn't tell anyone where he went, and the only one he knew was Linyi, who was with him this time.

They had very little time to rest along the way, and they were on their way except when they stopped to rest when their bodies showed signs of being unable to hold on.

Because Wen Qiao suffered from overwork when he returned to the capital from Linzhou, he would stop this time once he felt that his body could not stand it.

Although he was in a hurry, he learned a lot this time with the first lesson. Combined with the rest time along the way, it took the two of them a full four days to reach their destination.

This speed can already be regarded as fast, and when Wen Qiao and Ling Yi arrived in Linzhou, it was in the afternoon.

Although the environment of Linzhou City is very different from that of Fuzhou City, as a city far away from the capital, the only thing that remains unchanged is that the work and rest of Linzhou City is also more scattered than Fuzhou.

When I arrived at Linzhou City, there were sparse people on the street, everyone's steps were very scattered, and there were shops on both sides of the street.

After entering Linzhou City, Wen Qiao and Ling Yi slowed down a bit, but the yellow sand of Linzhou City was very heavy, and after the two of them rode by, there was still a burst of sand and dust.

They passed through Linzhou City, and after more than ten miles out of Linzhou City, they finally arrived at the scene of the last grain and grass transfer. The flat land between the two hills is still a mess.

The rubble that had fallen from the mountain was still in place, and every few moments of blood stained the ground red.

When Wen Qiao saw this, he couldn't help but think of the events of the day of the incident.

The corpses of the lost soldiers are gone, and the yellow sandy ground is red with blood and piles of rocks, which makes people feel shocking at a glance.

Wen Qiao and Ling Yi separated, each looking around. As soon as Ling walked to the mountain wall, he pinched a little dirt with his hand, and a piece of soil shattered with a light pinch of his hand.

Wen Qiao walked over, Ling Yi stared at the dirt in his hand and said, "This soil is too easy to crush. ”

A piece of soil turned into fine sand when Ling Yi gently pinched it.

Wen Qiao raised his eyebrows, and the two of them didn't check anything out after reading the flat ground, and finally walked to the mountain again.

The mountain on both sides of the flat land is actually not a mountain, it is not high, and the two of them can easily walk up.

The mountains on both sides are not steep, there are some weeds, and there are also a lot of huge rocks.

Looking at these stones, Wen Qiao approached with a frown.

He circled around a stone that was more than half the size of his body, and when he touched it, the texture was hard, and it was not as fragile as the clod of soil that Ling Yi had just said.

His eyes swept over the stone in front of him inch by inch, and finally his gaze came to the very bottom of the stone, from which he saw some unusual marks.

He crouched down and looked closer, the ground on the stone floor was very good, he stood up again and pushed the stone, and as soon as he pushed it, the stone under his hand moved.

"Ling Yi!" Wen Qiao suddenly shouted. Ling Yi was not far behind Wen Qiao, and when he heard Wen Qiao's voice, he quickly came to Wen Qiao's side.

Wen Qiao's face turned pale and pointed at Ling Yi, and Ling Yi squatted down in a knowing way to check the side like Wen Qiao just now.

Ling Yi's face did not change after checking it, and he walked to the position on the top of the stone and said to Wen Qiao, "Stay away."

Wen Qiao took a step to the side, and then Ling Yi used a force in his hand, and the originally hard and huge stone was actually pushed down by Ling Yi!

When the stone is pushed down, the soil under it leaks out.

The rest of the earth was very strong, but under this stone was crushed soil.

Now Wen Qiao didn't need Wen Qiao to continue to check, he knew the answer.

"This stone has been moved."

Ling Yi's eyes fell on the soil one by one, but what he said made Wen Qiao's heart chill.

At this point, no one needs to tell him that he has seen it with his own eyes.

The fact that the things on this mountain have been touched by people means that the collapse of the mountain encountered when escorting grain and grass is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!

It was because someone moved the rocks that there was a mountain collapse that day!

Wen Qiao's heart was cold, he couldn't imagine who did this behind his back. The man had sinister intentions, and he did it with the intention of putting him to death!

Wen Qiao couldn't wait for a moment, he turned around suddenly, and said to Ling Yi, who was still in place, without looking back, "Go back to the capital."

The current situation is very clear, the matter of escorting grain and grass is that someone has used means behind it!
