Chu Ge walked through the arch and came to the backyard.

This backyard is much larger than the previous quadrangle, and there is a deserted garden in the courtyard, and under the huge banyan tree, there are rockeries and pavilions, highlighting the difference in the identity of the owner of this backyard.

Chu Ge looked over the rockery and pavilion in the garden, and saw that behind the banyan tree, there was a big house.

This large house has three rooms.

After Chu Ge walked around the deserted garden, he walked to the leftmost room.

Reach out and push open the broken wooden door.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door that had been closed for half a year opened, and the dust on it fell, and Chu Ge, who walked into the house, patted the dust on his shoulder, and his eyes carefully swept every corner of the house.

This is apparently the stove room in the backyard, with a long table that is also covered in dust next to an earthen stove made of blue bricks.

On the long table there are pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, as well as some uneaten ingredients, which have long been moldy and rotten.

In addition to these things, there is only a water tank and a cupboard.

Chu Ge checked it carefully, but found nothing.

Cao County, who was following behind Chu Ge, said loudly:

"Master Ge, we have searched this village several times before, but we have not found anything, those evil demons are obviously here to slaughter the village, and after taking away the things they need, they will leave, and they will not leave any clues."

Chu Ge said: "There are only two rooms left, it doesn't hurt to take a look at it again, I can go back and deal with Lord Futai." ”

Cao Xianling praised: "The adults are so rigorous, it really makes the lower officials ashamed." ”

"Lord Cao has won the prize."

The two of them left the room on the left and continued to the largest room in the middle.

The room was apparently the residence of the owner of the manor, and was entered by a living room with an owner's bedroom.

The living room was in a mess, and it was obvious that a fierce battle had broken out, and it seemed that the owner of the manor also had some strength and had made some resistance.

It's a pity that he still couldn't escape the poisonous hands of the evil way.

Chu Ge walked in the house, and suddenly noticed a wooden box that had been knocked over on the ground, the wooden box was empty, but there was some reddish-brown powder at the bottom of the box, which was very similar to rust.

Chu Ge shifted his gaze and continued to look inside the room for a while.

Then he went out and searched the room on the right, and on the right was a utility room, with some wooden boxes piled up, and hoes and other tools to be used.

After reading them all.

Chu Ge sighed bitterly and said:

"It seems that there are really no useful clues left in this village, and I am really ashamed to trouble Cao Xianling to accompany me on another trip."

The Cao County Commander hurriedly said: "Lord Ge is out of sight, we are all using the imperial court to do things for the saint, where is this trouble, what else does Lord Ge have to order, the lower officials will do their best." ”

Chu Ge praised: "A good official like Lord Cao who has done his best for the country and the people, staying in this Shizhou County is really buried, and when I return to Beijing this time, I will definitely be a saint and transfer Lord Cao to Kyoto, so as to better contribute to the Great Departure." ”

When Cao Xian Ling heard this, his face suddenly froze, and he said humbly:

"Cao Mou is only a shallow learner, so he should not be reused, so it is better to be a county magistrate here and benefit the people of the county."

Chu Ge sneered in his heart.

Benefit? I'm afraid it's not a crime.

After taking another look at the dilapidated manor, Chu Ge and Cao Xianling returned to the village together.

After calling the Blood Jiao Army outside, the group returned to Yunshi County, declined Cao County's invitation to rest for one night, directly took the horses, and hurriedly returned to Panshi City.

Although this trip is because of the following of the county order of Yunshi County, some things are not easy to verify.

But Chu Ge decided in his heart that what he found should be right.

The reason why they didn't break the county order and investigated alone was also to show the officials of Shizhou that they had found nothing on this trip, so that they could relax their vigilance and ensure their safety.

Chu Ge and his party left Yunshi County not long after.

In the backyard of the county office, several figures gathered in the living room of the backyard.

That Cao County Ling walked into the living room respectfully.

"I've seen you."

In the living room, a figure sitting in the first place asked in a deep voice:

"Tell me what Na Ge Chu did when he went to Flint Villa."

Cao Xian Ling replied respectfully: "Yes, my lord, Na Ge Chu first explored the surroundings of the villa......

"What? He went to the back mountain? Did he ever find a vein of iron ore? ”

A figure interrupted Cao County's order and asked urgently.

The corners of Cao Xianling's mouth showed a hint of ridicule and said: "Where did that kid know about iron ore, although he walked to the edge of the ore vein, but that kid didn't notice it at all, he looked at it casually and left, there was no abnormality at all." ”

The figure sitting at the head muttered for a moment and said:

"It's true that few people know about this unmined iron ore, and it's normal that Ge Chu doesn't know, but it's just on the edge, and no traces of our mining have been found, so it's fine, you continue."

Cao Xian Ling respectfully continued:

"Then I took him to the manor, but the manor has been searched many times by us, and some of the iron ore mined in the village has already been transferred by us."

"The secret envoy sent by Emperor Shunde also has some skills, and he actually found the booklet of the manor master that recorded the mining records, but he came to the county government to throw himself into the net, which can be regarded as helping us to check and fill in the gaps."

"So when this Ge Chu went to check the manor, he naturally found nothing, and it was a trip in vain."

After hearing this, everyone around them had a smile on their faces, obviously very satisfied with the result.

The person sitting at the top stood up and looked at the harmless baby face of humans and animals, it was the Shi Zhoubu political envoy Fang Siming.

Fang Siming said: "Although the other party didn't find anything this time, I still can't take it lightly, and spend this time cautiously, and the key is to send this Futai team out of Shizhou." ”

At this time, a figure in a luxurious robe in the room sneered and said:

"What are you afraid of, even if they can find something, it is impossible for them to get out of Shizhou alive."

Fang Siming looked at the other party, and said with a slightly cold face:

"Killing Futai, that's the next step, it will bring trouble to our officials in Shizhou, and you can't touch them unless you have to!"

The robed man snorted softly.

"Got it."

......

At night, Chu Ge and his entourage rushed back to Rock City.

Inside the mansion.

Chu Ge and Zhuge Tao sat in the backyard, and the six people from the six groups of the inspection courtyard were scattered around the courtyard to ensure that no one approached.

Zhuge Tao hurriedly asked, "This time there is a harvest." ”

Chu Ge said in a deep voice: "I found ...... Near the flint mountain villa, there should be a vein of iron ore. ”

"What?"

Zhuge Tao exclaimed.

Iron ore is a very strict management vein in Dali, and the discovery of iron ore veins must be surrendered, and then the imperial court sends special envoys to investigate and supervise the mining.

Every iron ore must be recorded in detail, and nothing should be missed.

After all, iron ore is a necessary product for the manufacture of weapons and armor, and it must be strictly controlled.

Zhuge Tao stared at Chu Ge and asked again, "Are you sure?" ”

Chu Ge said: "Although the disciple didn't investigate carefully, it shouldn't be wrong. ”

Zhuge Tao frowned and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

If there are traces of the iron ore being mined, but it is not reported, then Zhuge Tao will directly have a reason to attack.

However, although this is a breakthrough, it is obviously not enough to catch all the rebels behind the scenes in this stone continent.

They also need more evidence.
