Deng Yan walked around the dock and the warehouse for a while unhurriedly, and then slowly returned to the inn.

After a while, Yan Chun came back in a hurry, with irrepressible excitement in his eyes.

"Junhou, I have inquired clearly, ten days ago, the county commander Huang Liao secretly requisitioned the ships of several large households to transport officers and soldiers.

After the incident, a ban was also issued, and if anyone leaked the news, they were severely punished, and they were prohibited from going out of the lake to fish in the short term. ”

Deng Yan nodded, he had expected this result a long time ago, and basically determined Dong Ban's whereabouts.

"Have you found a specific location?"

"On Weishan Island, the people sent out by Huang Liao in the name of looking for officers and soldiers are probably responsible for intercepting Dong Taishou's people asking for help."

As long as he knew the exact location, Deng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, it stands to reason that his mission has been successfully completed so far.

After all, with their manpower, it is okay to find out the news, but they are not capable of carrying out rescue operations.

"Junhou, I will immediately escort you back to the capital division and send the news back as soon as possible."

For Yan Chun, Deng Yan's safety cannot be ignored and must also be guaranteed.

Although Dong Ban and others are trapped on the island, it should not be a problem to hold out for a while, after all, there are abundant water resources there, and they can't starve to death by catching fish and shrimp.

"No, there is another very important thing, Huang Liao deceived Dong Taishou to the island, and he must have used the name of suppressing bandits.

So, where did the water bandits on the lake go? ”

Yan Chun was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem.

"It's really strange to say, I haven't heard of any robberies and riots recently, but it's possible that they are in other counties."

"This question must be clarified, I always feel that finding the whereabouts of the water bandits is more important than looking for Dong Taishou and them."

With his super analytical ability, Deng Yan instantly grasped the key point of the incident and issued a new order categorically.

"Immediately inquire about the whereabouts of the water bandits, this matter cannot be delayed."

Looking at Deng Yan's extremely solemn face, although Yan Chun was very worried, he didn't dare to disobey the order, so he had to make suggestions.

"The prince should withdraw from Pei County first, I feel that I have attracted the attention of the thief county order, and I have encountered an interrogation on the street today.

It's up to us to investigate the bandits. ”

Deng Yan lowered his head and thought about it, "It's okay, but I decided to go north, and by the way, I also investigated Qi County and Xue County." ”

There is another reason why he didn't say it explicitly, that is, he hopes to meet Duan Xi's Liangzhou soldiers and horses, directly lead them to kill them, and rescue Dong Ban and others.

At the same time, he controlled Huang Liao in the shortest possible time and dug out the name of the messenger from his mouth.

The next day, Deng Yan, who bought a batch of cheap dried fish, pretended to leave Peixian, and he obviously felt that someone was following him.

However, the reason why he went to Xue County was very legitimate, the quantity of goods was insufficient, and he needed to go to Xue County, which is also in the Lake District, to purchase some more.

Deng Yan, who left Peixian smoothly, was in a very heavy mood, and now it can be determined that the mastermind behind the scenes must be an important minister in the DPRK, and it is very likely that several forces are united.

Their control over the place even frightened him.

Xue County, will there be another Huang Liao waiting for him?

When Liu Zhi received the news from Long Linwei, it was already two days later, and he was also very shocked that Peixian County Order was so bold and reckless.

In the past two days, the court dispute over the use of Dong Ban's army to make a fuss has become more and more noisy.

It seems that this is a bureau that they have designed a long time ago, and since the Dongban army went north, it is estimated that those people have been plotting.

In this way, Jingzhou is not very peaceful, and it is estimated that Dong Ban was directly targeted as soon as he left Wuling County.

Whose cake did he move? Let them plot to overthrow at all costs.

Thinking about it carefully, since he killed Liang Ji, this conspiracy against him may have already begun, and there were not a few people who colluded with the generals and acted in embarrassment.

Except for the punishment of some particularly typical officials, the others have not been investigated.

Not for anything else, just because if he investigates carefully, I am afraid that more than half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be directly dismissed from class.

There are thirteen large families in the Han Dynasty and hundreds of middle-class families, and which one has not taken refuge in Liang Ji, who is in power all over the world.

Therefore, the first evil must be related to this matter, and it is a family that has been severely hit because of this incident.

After a moment of silence, he summoned Shan Chao, who had just rushed back.

"You check Zhao Jie, Hu Guang and a group of other people who have been dismissed, and see if they have any special moves."

It was Peixian's accident that reminded him that the other party could take deep roots in various states and counties, and must have operated in the DPRK and China for many years.

And Hu Guang and Zhao Jie were once ranked as the third duke, and their protégés and family forces can be said to be all over the country.

"Whoa."

Regardless of the fatigue after the long journey, Shan Chao immediately plunged into a new task in high spirits.

At this time, Zhang Rang walked in, his expression was a little ugly, "Your Majesty, the captain has to see you, and he has been waiting outside the hall for half an hour." ”

These days, Liu Zhi refused to meet with any ministers, and even the most recent court meeting was canceled on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Huang Qiong has been here a few times, Liu Zhi has been dragging it all the time, it seems that today he is cross-minded, and he vows not to give up until he reaches his goal.

Liu Zhi smiled coldly, the negative emotions in the court had almost been aroused, and it was time to take action.

"Let him in."

I haven't seen him for more than ten days, and I feel that the captain has cleared up a little, his eyes are red, and there is a rare hint of anxiety in his mood.

"Your Majesty, there is already a mess outside, are you going to stay away like this?"

If it was in the past, Huang Qiong was always an old god, with a graceful bearing, and a posture of wisdom beads in his hand, he would never question the emperor so aggressively.

Liu Zhi smiled and said leisurely, "Isn't this a meeting?" ”

Huang Qiong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little angry, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter, and then let things develop, I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable to you." ”

"What does the captain think?"

Liu Zhi didn't seem to pay attention to it at all, and asked rhetorically.

"The minister thinks that he should immediately send someone to investigate thoroughly, and sincerely accept the opinions of the ministers to tide over the difficulties together."

Drink, I thought there was any special suggestion, it was still the same old thing after a long time, it seems that Huang Qiong except for the inspection system in his heart, the rest are old-fashioned.

What kind of sincere acceptance of opinions is not to let him lower his posture and bow his head to his courtiers?

But this time, he won't choose to give in easily.

"Really? Tell the lieutenant the good news that Dong Taishou's whereabouts have been found. ”

When Liu Zhi spoke, he stared at Huang Qiong with a smile, wanting to see what kind of reaction he would have.

"What? Got it? ”

Huang Qiong was obviously a little surprised, but then she was relieved, "Great, now we can finally take a break." ”
