Chapter 543: Inquire about the news of the barracks

"In addition, there are other ways to make money in the county order, such as selling textile equipment at a high price."

"It turns out that when the textile equipment was promoted to this city, the county order sold the equipment at a high price after accepting the textile equipment."

"It wasn't until he heard rumors from other cities that he learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had cracked down on the resale of textile equipment at a high price, that he relented and sold the textile equipment at a normal price."

"Because the sky is high here, the emperor is far away, and he is the only one in the few cities near here who has done this, so our people have not been able to find out about this matter in the first place."

Chen Mu hooked his lips and sneered and nodded.

This county magistrate saw that the county magistrate in the next town was extremely rich, and even bought half of the city's shop, and he was surprised, and it also made people wonder why the county magistrate was so rich.

The county order made a fortune through the treasure of Daqingshan, and it was naturally impossible to pass on the treasure, so no matter how the county officials investigated, they could not find out how the county order made a fortune.

In desperation, he was jealous of the property of the county order, so he exploited the people in the city even more unscrupulously, he only thought that the county order obtained the money by greedy for the people's silver.

"Extremely stupid, he did this, and it won't be long before we know about it."

Lord Ye sighed and sighed, Chen Mu frowned when he heard this, but shook his head noncommittally.

The county order cooperated with the people of the family in the capital, and if there was really a possibility that this matter would be exposed, he would definitely notify the people of the family in the capital in advance and ask them to help him cover it up.

"I see them singing and dancing, and after spending time in that restaurant, I'm afraid they won't leave the restaurant."

"Let's go back first, stay until it's dark at night, and while the county order is drunk, we will send someone to find out the news related to the private barracks."

Lord Ye responded and left the teahouse with Chen Mu.

When the night deepened, Lord Ye's subordinates replied, saying that the county order and several officials from the capital had left the restaurant and were ready to return to the county order.

Chen Mu immediately sent someone to pretend to be a subordinate in the county order's mansion, sneaked into the mansion, and the county commander was drunk and lying on the bed.

A few beautiful singers were waiting by his side.

The county order was irritable, and people drove those beautiful singers out of the room.

A moment later, he heard his voice at the door, and he turned his head in a daze, glancing in the direction of the door, and saw a figure in a maid's skirt slowly entering.

The figure was exceptionally tall, and the county magistrate narrowed his eyes slightly, but he couldn't see the maid's appearance clearly because of the dim light and drunkenness.

It was a maid disguised as a subordinate sent by Lord Ye, and he walked to the side of the county commander.

While pretending to be a maid and waiting for the county order, she quietly inquired about the news related to the few adults from the capital.

The prefectural order was drunk, and he was defenseless in the face of the maid's question.

"Who knows when those people will go back, I also asked those nostrils today, and they have to wait for the order from the people above before they can tell me the news that they have left this little town."

"It's so hateful, I don't bother to entertain them, I just want to send them away as soon as possible!"

The maid's eyes flashed slightly.

"It's hard for the county commander, but after all, this is a matter related to the barracks, and it's normal for those adults from the capital to be cautious."

The word barracks rang in the ears of the county order, and the county order was stunned, and glanced in the direction of the maid in a daze.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.

He smacked his lips, nodded, fell backwards, fell back onto the bed, and rolled over.

He muttered.

"They were cautious of theirs, Lao Tzu worked hard for them, and only got that little benefit, but they didn't even want to tell me the location of the barracks."

"It's so damnable!"

It turned out that he didn't know the location of the barracks, so the subordinate nodded.

After a few more gossip with the county commander, it was determined that the county commander did not know the location of the barracks, and his subordinates left in a hurry.

jumped out of the courtyard wall of the county mansion and was about to rush to the inn where Chen Mu stayed, when the subordinates who were disguised as maids saw several people dressed in black jumping into the county mansion.

Those people were suspicious, and when the subordinates saw this, they thought about it for a moment and followed suit.

Those people came to the county government to find those adults from the capital.

Seeing those people dodge into the room, his men did not delay.

After a few moments, he stepped up and followed, listening outside the room for a moment, ascertaining the purpose of the men who had come to the mansion to meet the prefectural order.

The men did not delay any longer, turned around and hurried away.

Chen Mu and Meng Qing were about to rest, when Chen Mu heard a knock on the door outside the room.

He immediately stepped forward to open the door, and saw the secret guard standing outside the door, dressed in women's clothes.

Chen Mu's gaze paused slightly, Meng Qing heard the sound, and slowly stepped forward, looking at the person standing outside the door, Meng Qing's eyes sank.

"Who is this man?"

Meng Qing asked a little unhappily, and Chen Mu shook his head a little blankly.

He didn't recognize the person in front of him as his secret guard for the first time, the secret guard smiled, took two steps forward, and arched his hand at Chen Mu.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't you recognize me? I am your subordinate, and the reason why I am dressed this way is to infiltrate the prefectural commander's mansion and ask the prefectural magistrate about the private soldier. ”

When Chen Mu heard this, he understood.

He took a step back and let the Dark Guard into the room.

The secret guard immediately told Chen Mu what he had discovered.

It turned out that the county commander didn't know the whereabouts of the private barracks, so Chen Mu nodded.

"However, although I have not been able to find out the whereabouts of the Si Bing Barracks, I have found out another important news, that is, the county order we arrested some time ago."

"The county order that coveted the treasure of Prince Feng."

"When we arrested that man, didn't that person say that a group of adults from the capital found him and intended to cooperate with him?"

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, and a premonition appeared in his heart.

He nodded in agreement, and the Dark Guard continued.

"The person who intends to cooperate with that lord is the one who cooperates with this city and county order."

"When I was just about to leave, I saw a few people sneaking into the county mansion to find those adults from the capital to escort gold and silver."

"Then I told those adults about the prefectural commander we caught."

Those people had sensed that something was wrong, and the county order was in their mansion, and they hadn't left the mansion for a few days.

Although the county magistrate doesn't like to deal with political affairs, he doesn't run to the county government on weekdays, and only takes care of county affairs in his own mansion.

However, it is the first time that he has not left the mansion for several days in a row.

"They wanted to send someone to infiltrate the county order to inquire about the situation, and they also noticed that the two people sent from the capital who dealt with the county order had disappeared inexplicably."

"They suspected that the county magistrate had other plans and detained those two people."
