Seeing Hou Yong, everyone saluted, but he turned a deaf ear and came straight to Zhong Kui and Hou Yong.

"What's going on?"

When Hou Yong asked, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, my subordinates came to interrogate according to your explanation, and Xu was a little fierce, which scared the two of them, so ......"

"So what?"

Hou Yong said and looked Chen Mo and Huameishu up and down, and saw that both of them were fine, so he let go of the hand he was holding.

Obviously, he was not completely at ease with Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui didn't dare to slack off, but he didn't respond directly, but looked at the guards next to him.

Hou Yong saw it in his eyes and waved his hand lightly.

The guards saluted and exited.

"There's something that can be said."

"My lord, that's the case, they are indeed seeking personal gain on this trip, and ......" Zhong Kui stopped when he wanted to speak.

"And what, say it quickly." Hou Yong was displeased.

"And it's a great self-interest, no, it should be said that it is a great crime." After reading Chen Mo and Huameishu coldly, Zhong Kui said according to the discussion, "Their car carries gold, especially a lot of gold. ”

"What did you say?"

Hearing the word gold, Hou Yong's face suddenly changed greatly, and even his breathing became a little short.

"Zhong Kui, what's going on, tell me the truth."

"My lord, my subordinates knew about the gold because they had slipped their mouths and then they didn't admit it again. As a last resort, I drew my sword and interrogated, and if I didn't find out, I was afraid that adults would also be implicated. ”

Zhong Kui looks unsmiling, serious and serious, and his acting is remarkable.

The better he acted, the more wonderful Hou Yong's expression became, his face was full of solemnity, and his eyes flashed with greed.

"You said that this official will be implicated, where do you start?"

"Your Excellency, you might as well think about it, this is a border city fortress, what can they do when they come here with gold?" Zhong Kui continued to lure, "The subordinates dare to guess, they are afraid that they are going to get out, if they really go out, what do you think of the consequences?" ”

Hiss......

After hearing this, Hou Yong couldn't help but gasp.

Zhong Kui is right, this is the border pass.

In other words, two years ago, it made sense to come here with a lot of money, after all, the border trade was very prosperous at that time.

However, since the bad relations between the two countries, there has been very little mutual communication.

In that case, why do you want to come here with money?

And, it's still gold!

You must know that gold is different from silver and copper plates, and it is usually circulated in the upper layer, and it is rarely seen in the market.

Could it be that this is to flee with money?

Thinking of this, Hou Yong couldn't help but look at Chen Mo and Huameishu again.

In the former, some books are angry, and they should be readers.

The latter, on the other hand, has a sense of nobility, 100% Miss Everyone.

The two came to the border with money, it can't be elopement, right?

Wait a minute......

Thinking of this, Hou Yong remembered one thing, when he first arrived, this young lady said her origin.

If memory serves, it's the Hua family in Baihe County.

Could it be that this person is really Hua Tiannan's daughter?

Why, then, did the person who entrusted him with the task not say it explicitly?

Hou Yong remembered clearly that the day before Yang Qi arrived at the fortress, the grain and grass officer of Dongying found him.

In a word, sell personal favors, and whole people who come to deliver supplies.

The east and west battalions were all cronies of the general Xiahou Zhen, and it was the southern battalion that was suppressed, so Hou Yong agreed without thinking about it.

However, at this moment, he was a little uneasy.

Things don't seem to be that simple.

At least the one who found him didn't say anything about the gold.

Want to eat alone?

Or is there something else planned?

If it is the former, there is still some discussion, but if it is the latter, then the problem is serious.

If Zhong Kui hadn't inadvertently known this, wouldn't he have committed a capital crime when he let go of the two people in front of him and let them out of the border gate?

In today's situation, if you go to Huxia with gold, isn't that treason?

And just because people have been let go of their own hands, it is strange that they can have good fruits to eat.

"Damn, this matter must be investigated."

After scolding in his heart, Hou Yong laughed.

took two steps forward and stood in front of Chen Mo and Huameishu.

"What do you call them?"

"Chen Mo."

"Gorgeous books."

"Ask again, but the Hua family in Baihe County, your father is Hua Tiannan?"

Hou Yong had naturally heard of Hua Tiannan, and he used to travel to and from the border.

Since the change of commander in the fortress, they have cut off business contacts with Hu Xiaguo and shifted their focus to Dayan's side.

It can be said that Hua Tiannan is one of the largest businessmen in this land.

"Lord Hui, my father is indeed Hua Tiannan."

"What about this one, what does it have to do with Miss Hua?" Hou Yong looked at Chen Mo.

In fact, he had already seen that Huameishu was the only one who looked forward to Chen Moma, so he had to find out the identity of this person.

"Your Excellency already knows your name, your identity, Teaching."

"Yo, I really didn't see it." Hou Yong smiled and said, "Teach Chen, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Chen Mo really wanted to give Zhong Kui a thumbs up, this scene was really good, and the other party took the bait so quickly.

"It is worthy of Chen's teachings, fast talking. The official made it clear, what Zhong Kui mentioned just now, is it true or false? ”

"How can it be true?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically, "If you don't believe it, you can go and search carefully." ”

"Is it necessary?" Hou Yong also asked rhetorically, and looked at Zhong Kui after asking, "Since Chen Jiaoyu said, what are you still doing in a daze, take someone to check it in person, you must be careful, and you must not let Miss Hua and Chen Jiaoyu suffer the slightest injustice." ”

"Yes."

Zhong Kui went fast and came back quickly.

In his hand, he brought back a brass hot pot.

"What is this?"

When Hou Yong saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

"Pot, for shabu-shabu." Huameishu explains.

"My lord, it seems to my subordinates that this is not a pot." Zhong Kui hurriedly answered.

"What's not a pot?" Hou Yong looked carefully.

"Containers, containers with gold."

"How?" Hou Yong was puzzled.

"Have you ever thought about how to financialize Huang ......?"

"Wait, you mean the gold is hidden here?" Hou Yong's face changed dramatically.

"That's right, if you don't believe it, you can weigh it, it is impossible for bronze to have such a weight."

When the words fell, Zhong Kui handed over the pot.

After starting, Hou Yong's face changed again.

That's right, it's not pure copper.

There must be something else mixed in it, otherwise it wouldn't be so heavy.

"Zhong Kui, you go and invite the overseer."

"Yes."

"No need, I'll go over in person, you stay here and watch, the two of them can't go out, and no one can come in."

"Understood."
