19. This is the root cause

Chen Lu motioned to the interrogator and Ha San, the two of them understood, and led people to walk towards the crowd, these two representatives felt bored, and they also walked with them, and were retained by Chen Lu.

Li Xian then asked, "Do you officials know?"

"I don't know. ”

"Let's be honest. "Wenda is going to stab him again, and this is all a curse and swearing.

Li Xian waved his hand and asked, "Who sent you? It can't be you, right?"

Du Shi said: "Our deputy chief asked us to come, everyone is assigned a different job, I am responsible for agitating the villagers, I don't know the rest." ”

"Who's leading the team?"

"I don't know, what to do next, there is an order to send to the next place. ”

Chen Lu knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he asked the key question, and said: "Since you are an official of the Xuanwei Division, then we are also colleagues, we are all on errands for the imperial court, and it is too chilling for you to do this." It's not difficult for my old man to answer me two questions for you.

"First, is this plague of horses caused by you? Second, where are those medicines and Amer master and apprentice? If you have half a lie, I will not only kill you immediately, but also ask for an order to send it to the Xuanwei Division to destroy your three clans. ”

This is a matter of Xuanhui Sidu, of course, he understands these situations, and knows that this is by no means to scare himself, and says: "That's it, it's all the upper and lower factions, and it's not that we are good at advocating." This plague may be caused by someone, I don't know the specifics, but I do know where the medicine and the veterinarian are. They are all ......"

Chen Lu suddenly saw a ray of blue light shooting towards Dushi, only to see him swallow a few times, pinch his neck with his hand, and pull hard, looking hideous and terrifying, after a moment, he lost his breath.

Chen Lu heard the familiar voice: "Lord Pingzhang, there will be a period later, hahaha." ”

I don't know where the sound came from, but as the laughter faded away, there was no sound. Chen Lu asked Li Xian about them, and they all said that they didn't hear anyone talking, but they heard a gust of wind. Chen Lu knew in his heart that this was the root cause.

He thought about it, it didn't matter, so why not fight with this person again. Knowing that his purpose was to stop the westward journey, he missed the deadline and the world was in chaos, in fact, he had already looked at himself, if it weren't for the blue belt and the talisman seal, he would have unceremoniously killed himself.

Chen Lu glanced at the two representatives, and there was a guilty smile on his face.

They are all people who understand, this Xuanwei Division seems to be the official government of the imperial court, but in fact, it is an autonomous party, belonging to the generation of local officials, and the imperial court does not pay food and salary, which is not the same thing as these Han officials, and this matter has nothing to do with the half-cent of the people's mission.

Chen Lu said, "Let's go." ”

Chen Lu told Wen Da to put it all in advance and not to bury it, and after speaking, he looked out again, the two "representatives" had already arrived at the crowd, I don't know what they said, the people had dispersed one after another, he and Li Xian returned to the Zhongjun tent together and reported to Li Da.

Half an hour later, the sun was already about to set, and Ha San and the inquisitor returned. You could see that both of them were frustrated. Chen Lu understood, and what he was worried about happened.

It turned out that Chen Lu interrogated that there were still their people in the crowd, although they said that they ran away, they would definitely not get out of the crowd, if they ran first, wouldn't they be exposed first, they were not stupid, only in the crowd were the safest.

When the two delegates walked back, Chen Lu had a flash of inspiration, and it was very likely that they had seen those people. Also, the inquisitor was familiar with this, and he might have seen those people before, so Ha San and the two representatives muttered for a while and left.

When the crowd dispersed, the interrogator and the "deputy" locked on to the target. Ha San changed his clothes and quietly followed with the interrogator. Lord Chen specially instructed that the hiding place of these two people was likely to be the place where the medicine was hidden.

The two guys may have spotted someone following, leaving the crowd and walking around, appearing idle.

Ha San found out that he had been exposed and ordered to arrest someone, but just as he was about to attack, the two people died mysteriously. If it weren't for the soap officer at the Reasonhouse, several of Hasan's soldiers would have had to be beaten to death by the villagers.

Ha San has been pleading guilty to several envoys, saying that he has failed to do his errand. Chen Lu was not angry, he knew that his opponent was obviously an immortal cultivator, how could these ordinary people be their opponents.

In fact, it was not difficult for this immortal cultivator to kill Ha San. So he comforted them a few words, sent the man back from the office, and told him to take care of the corpse.

It was already time to hold the lamp, and several people had dinner silently in the Chinese military tent, and they were all silent after the meal, and there was nothing they could do.

At that time, Chen Lu also restrained his smiling face, he broke the silence, and said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, although we failed to set off today, we still gained a lot, at least we know that this is another conspiracy of thieves, and we have already touched the right way, and even touched their door, otherwise they would not kill people."

"The more they do this, the closer we are to the truth. Therefore, let us not be discouraged. Your Excellency, I suggest that you ask the Department of Literature and Consolation of the Institute of Reasoning to report on the situation here, especially who sent these three dead officials. ”

Li Da looked at him suspiciously, and said, "It will take more than half a month to come and go to the Xuanwei Division, is it necessary for us to do this?"

Chen Lu said: "It has no effect on the current situation. However, the imperial court has always had a soft policy towards these distant people. Their officials are dead, and they have something to do with us, so they always have to explain it in writing, and they also have the intention of asking them about their crimes, and they can't get rid of this matter after all. I am also afraid that they will be beaten up at that time, and after the court asks us, we will become the defendants, and it will be difficult to distinguish at that time. ”

Everyone said that it made sense, Li Da understood, and he personally wrote a letter and asked people to send it to the counseling center and forward it to the Propaganda Department.

Chen Lu was depressed, and after going back, he drank a few glasses of stuffy wine with Ha San, took off his official uniform and fell asleep, and the night before, he had a dream of ten thousand horses screaming, it seemed that thousands of horses were running, neighing, and the mournful neighing was heartbreaking.

Suddenly, he saw an endless expanse of grassland, weeds of varying heights shaking in the cold wind, and gray sunlight swaying in the cold air. In the sky, when the sun was about to set, a few horses came out, and then one after another rushed up, and there seemed to be thousands of horses.

Chen Lu thought, it turned out that the mournful sound of the previous day came from here. In the sky, a man rode a monster that looked like a horse but not a horse, like a camel but not a camel, and galloped towards Chen Lu with a horse pole in his hand, and then slowed down, and seemed to be in front of the horses again, and the horses followed him step by step.

He seemed to see Chen Lu, stopped his mount, and said, "It's Lord Pingzhang under your feet?"

Chen Lu was already accustomed to this title, nodded yes, sang a song to the visitor, and said: "It's Your Majesty, it seems that my old man still has some reputation, that's good, then I'm going to make a reluctant request." ”
