"Lao Xie, what did you find that made you so nervous?"

Xie Changwang lowered his voice: "Weapons!" ”

"What?" Li Mingren's expression suddenly tensed, and he asked in a low voice, wanting to confirm that it was not what he thought?

Xie Changwang took Li Mingren out a few more steps, looked left and right before continuing: "I led the team to search the road to the north and found a cave. The entrance of the cave may have been accidentally hit by the big insect, there is a large insect dung nearby, and the branches of the trees that originally covered the entrance of the cave were scattered a lot, so I went in to investigate, there were three boxes of weapons inside, but there was ash on them, but the sharpness should be new. ”

"How could anyone hide a weapon over there?" Li Mingren asked suspiciously.

Xie Changwang: "I also asked these villagers, and they said that generally no one goes this way, because the forest here is dense, and there are many potholes, and it is easy to get injured when hunting. ”

Li Mingren fell into deep thought, and his heart was bored.

Xie Changwang continued: "My lord, I left two brothers to guard over there, how to arrange it next? ”

Li Mingren: "Immediately form a team, let's go and take a look, and carry those boxes of things back." This side will be handed over to Chen Yiqing to be responsible. ”

After saying that, he turned to Chen Yiqing, and at this moment Chen Yiqing also looked at Li Mingren. At the beginning, when he saw Li Mingren and Xie Changwang moving, Chen Yiqing had been paying attention, Li Mingren didn't call him over, and Chen Yiqing didn't act without permission.

"Master Chen, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go over there with Lao Xie to have a look." Lee didn't say much.

Chen Yiqing didn't ask more, but answered: "Yes, my lord." ”

"Yun Cheng, you should stay here and don't run around."

Zhao Yuncheng knew that Li Mingren had something important, so he only nodded: "Okay brother-in-law." ”

Li Mingren followed Xie Changwang to lead the team to the cave where the weapons were hidden, and it was indeed relatively hidden all the way, and it was not possible to go straight to this location.

"Zhang Xiao, Li Liu, are there any suspicious movements after we leave?" Xie Changwang asked the two errand officers who had been left behind to guard.

Zhang Xiao: "No. ”

Xie Changwang glanced at Li Mingren, Li Mingren nodded and signaled action, and everyone went in one after another.

The cave is not big, and after everyone enters, it seems a little crowded, and after looking for it, they really found no other traces, so Li Mingren had to order the weapons to be removed.

"My lord, there's something under this box!" When Xie Changwang looked at the last box of weapons and lifted it, he found that the box pressed down on the wrapping cloth that had already collapsed.

Li Mingren walked over quickly, took the things in Xie Changwang's hand, opened it and looked at it, there were some letters inside, and the contents of the letters were all expenses for the purchase of weapons, Li Mingren's pupils were dilated, and there was a letter with a transaction with Bei Mo written on it.

"It seems that there are far more weapons than these, let's go back first, and the entrance of the cave here should be restored to its original state as much as possible!" Li Mingren received the letter and walked out.

"Yes." Xie Changwang took the pad and cleared all the traces.

After Li Mingren came back, the rescue team had already dug everyone out, but fortunately, the buried people had a strong sense of survival and were all breathing, and the two doctors were too busy to stand up. The family members listened to the people being rescued, and waves came.

"Village Chief Luo, stable patients can let them take them home first. The doctor will not leave tonight, and he asked Village Chief Luo to arrange accommodation quickly. Chen Yiqing is arranging follow-up treatment here.

Village Chief Luo nodded again and again, and then glanced at Li Mingren, who was standing next to the doctor. Chen Yiqing probably understood what Luo Damu meant, so he walked up to Li Mingren and asked, "My lord, are we rushing back to the county overnight tonight?" ”

Li Mingren shook his head and handed the package in his arms to Chen Yiqing and said, "Stay tonight, arrange the people on duty, and Xiaosong Village can only enter and exit." ”

Chen Yiqing didn't rush to open the package in his hand, looked at the box that Xie Changwang and they carried back, and then looked at everyone's solemn appearance, it should be a serious situation. Chen Yiqing had to put away the package and continue to explain to Luo Damu that he would arrange a vacant space for the big guys to settle tonight.

Luo Damu: "Lord Chen, otherwise, everyone will live in the villagers' houses, and some people in the family will still be able to make room." ”

Chen Yiqing shook his head: "No need, just find us an open space, just shelter from the wind and snow." "It snowed again in the middle of the night.

Luo Damu wanted to say something, but Li Mingren came over and said, "Village chief, just arrange it like this, and you will come to me after you have arranged everyone in a while." ”

"Ah, it's my lord."

"Yun Cheng, you follow the two doctors to help tonight." Li Mingren arranged for Zhao Yuncheng to follow the two doctors, because the two doctors had a place to stay at night, so Li Mingren wanted Zhao Yuncheng to have a place to stay at night, so as not to stay up late with him and suffer crimes, the second reason was that he was busy at night, and it was not good for Zhao Yuncheng to be involved.

Zhao Yuncheng is not a child, he knew the purpose of his brother-in-law's arrangement, so he did not refuse, but just followed the two doctors peacefully, helping at any time.

The two doctors had already dealt with all the injuries and were now only carrying people back to the village, and Yun Cheng followed them into the village and went to a villager's house to prepare for rest.

Li Mingren led the county government and a group of people to walk at the end, and when they arrived in the village, they could still see many people lighting oil lamps, and people were crowded in the house from time to time.

"My lord, come with me here." Luo Damu hurried over to lead Li Mingren and them to the ancestral hall, which was the only place in the village where there was an open space and could shelter from the wind and rain.

Li Mingren didn't say anything more and followed Luo Damu.

After arriving at the place, Li Mingren politely thanked him and did not let Luo Damu leave.

"Lao Xie, count the number of people, you can arrange the shift on duty at night and go to patrol for a while. Guard every entrance and exit of Komatsu Village tonight. ”

Luo Damu listened, and his heart chuckled, thinking of the three boxes placed not far away, and he was puzzled and uneasy.

"Village Chief, have strangers been in and out of the village in the past few months? How many intersections are there in Komatsumura? Li Mingren began to ask.

Although Luo Damu was starting to get nervous, his mind was still clear, and he carefully recalled the movements of the village recently, and indeed he had not seen outsiders come in.

"There haven't been any major incidents in the village lately, but I haven't seen outsiders enter the village. It's a cold day, except for our village who is going out to hunt, almost no one in the neighborhood has ever come out. There is only one road in our village that leads to the exit outside, and the remaining four roads are into the mountains. Luo Damu said honestly.

"Have there been any suspicious movements in the village lately?"

Luo Damu thought about it, but still shook his head.

Li Mingren nodded and continued: "In a while, you will go and count the number of people from one household to make sure that all the villagers stay at home. ”

Luo Damu responded, and Li Mingren arranged for two errand servants to go with Luo Damu to go door-to-door.
