June 12 of the Wu calendar.

Hangzhou.

Pingxiang County.

County office.

Zhang Renjie stayed in the county government office for a few days, locked in his room all day, and buried his head in the thick file, trying to find any clues. Although he is not as serious as the old guys in the state capital, once he works, he is also ruthless, and he doesn't listen to things outside the window.

Chu Mo did not reveal his entanglement with Yan Wuchang at all, but fortunately, there was no news of Yan Wuchang from the master in the past few days, and it seemed that the atmosphere was as peaceful as ever. But Chu Mo vaguely felt that there was a shackle that had always invisibly bound him, making him feel pressure.

As for Hurun, since the accident in the Qingyulou, he was sent to Yuzhou, and he has no flaws to take care of here. Otherwise, it is inconvenient to have a pair of eyes staring at it every day, and it is inconvenient to do anything.

Skynet has always been domineering and reckless. Whatever their purpose in burning down the herring building, the ultimate plan was to find him. After Wang Su's death, he was always at risk of being exposed.

On this day, he asked the groom to prepare the carriage early to prepare for the inn. The wind was blowing a little noisy, and the sky was full of gloomy clouds, but fortunately, it should not rain for a short time. When the rainy season arrives, the weather becomes unpredictable. Just in case, he still brought an umbrella with him.

Horse-drawn carriages drive on bumpy roads, and the carts of roadside vendors are filled with all kinds of umbrellas. Chu Mo looked out of the window of the carriage blankly, his heart was like this sky full of haze, but it was a pity that there was no umbrella to prevent a rainstorm from falling.

The carriage gradually drove from the county seat to the border. After turning several streets one after another, he finally stopped at the door of a small post house. An old man at the door was dozing off the threshold to cool off, his thin shirt wrinkled by the wind. Chu Mo didn't bother him, he stepped out of the carriage alone, and gently stepped over the threshold of the post station, where all kinds of packages and letters were placed, and different recipients were neatly stacked together.

Chu Mo quickly found the letter signed by Ouyang Mo, but to his surprise, there were two letters in total. There was some ink on the corner of one of them.

Chu Mo frowned, this mark is very familiar to him, this is the mark made by His Excellency Tianshu of Yan Kingdom when he sent letters to members, since Chu's death, through various forces, he finally hid in Tianshu Pavilion, few people can know his identity, he has not received a letter from Tianshu Pavilion for a long time, he can't help but have some doubts in his heart, but he still put away the two letters together and put them in his arms.

The carriage did not stay long, and then drove towards the county office. In the carriage, he first opened the letter that Tianshu Pavilion had given him.

The contents of the secret letters sent by the Heavenly Cabinet to the members are generally expressed in some poems, and the members are required to decipher them themselves. The poems are not difficult, and the members who are basically familiar with the conventions of the Heavenly Pavilions can quickly decipher them.

Chu Mo opened the envelope, and wrote a seven-character poem on the paper in good-looking small letters.

He whispered it silently, and wrote a person's name in code in the poem: Liu Zhenwei.

Chu Mo frowned, and recited the poem silently in another way, and only said four words in the code: find the account book.

Liu Zhenwei: Ledger?

According to her, Niu Tao and Liu Zhenwei had a disagreement because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, but the most important thing was because Niu Tao thought that Liu Zhenwei had hidden some account books.

And that ledger is very likely to have something to do with the resale of armaments.

Now, Tianshu Pavilion suddenly sent him a letter, reactivated him, a member who had been lurking in Hangzhou all year round, and even assigned him a task, then it can explain two things. The first is that the Tianshu Pavilion, who has been secretly helping him hide his identity, has lost his ability or is dead, and the second is that Yan Guo has an inseparable relationship with this resale of armaments, and it can be said that the court of Yan State is the mastermind behind this resale of armaments.

Chu Mo's heart felt a sudden irritability. Skynet pressed on him step by step, and at the same time, the Tianshu Pavilion also uncovered the protection on his body and exposed him. At this time, there was no one from the Chu State around him who could use it, and he was caught in the strife between the two countries for no reason.

Thinking so, Chu Mo put the letter aside and reopened the second letter.

When the second letter was opened, there was only an empty piece of parchment inside. This made Chu Mo relax slightly. He hurriedly took a small wine bottle from his bosom, opened it, and quickly sprinkled it on the parchment. After a while, the parchment was dipped in wine, and the words gradually appeared.

"Quickly go to Han Ouyang's house to take refuge for the time being, Skynet is not trivial, be careful in everything. ”

Looking at the content that appeared on the parchment, Chu Mo's face became even more grim.

At this time, he had been dragged on by various things in the county government, it was difficult to get out, and it was impossible to leave Hangzhou for half a step, not to mention, he had no connection with the Ouyang family of this identity, and he was very unfamiliar, so why did he suddenly go back?

Chu Mo's mind was combing quickly, and before he knew it, the carriage had stopped at the gate of the county office.

As soon as Chu Mo stepped out of the carriage, he saw Zhang Renjie, an ordinary uncle crossing the street, squatting unkemptly at the door of the county office, his hair was not combed, and there were vegetable leaves on his mouth.

Zhang Renjie raised his head and looked at Chu Mo, Chu Mo couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Brother Zhang, ...... you are"

"I finally went out of the room to greet you. Zhang Renjie slowly got up, took out a letterhead from his arms, handed it to Chu Mo, and said, "Well, just now you went out not far away, and there was an invitation from the carriage to the gate of the county government. ”

Chu Mo received three letters in succession today, and he was a little unclear. He took it vigilantly, opened it and took a look, the letter paper inside was embroidered with gold edges, and the content on it was roughly that a brother from a family in Ouyang Mansion was admitted to the state examination, and the people of the Ouyang family who were exiled were specially invited to return to the mansion to celebrate.

Zhang Renjie leaned over and whispered to Chu Mo: "Yo, Brother Ouyang, at first I thought your surname was just a coincidence, but I didn't expect it to be really an immediate family member in this big family, ouch, it's really envious." ”

Listening to his sour tone, Chu Mo smiled and said, "Brother Zhang said that I was joking, since I came to Qi Country after taking the entrance examination, I have cut off contact with my family, and I haven't been home for a long time, so I ......"

"I said, it turned out to be Korean, no wonder there is no Hurun's Qi accent. Zhang Renjie said with a smile, "What is written in it, the Ouyang family invites you to go back and inherit the family business? Let me tell you, South Korea's big chaebol is much richer than this small county government." ”

"Brother Zhang really tormented me. Chu Mo's expression was a little crying and laughing, and he said to Zhang Renjie, "This invitation is just a junior in the family who has won the fame, and the elders of the clan want everyone to go and get together." ”

As he spoke, he put the invitation in his arms, and continued: "It's a pity that there are too many important things to do today, and I can't get out of it, so this invitation is useless, Brother Xie Zhang took it for me, let's go into the house." ”

Zhang Renjie's eyebrows were raised into eight characters, and he said to Chu Mo: "Go, why don't you go? Such a big family, with a prestige, you also have light on your face." ”

Chu Mo walked inside, and said, "But Brother Zhang, these big cases don't have a clue yet, and they are urging ...... above."

"It's out of the way! How can I say that I am also your superior, why, I can't handle the affairs of a small county yali?" Zhang Renjie followed behind Chu Mo and said with a big grin.

At this time, Chu Mo's mind suddenly flashed on the parchment, the instructions given to him by the national teacher. It is difficult to take refuge in South Korea for a while...... Is this a coincidence?

Chu Mo stood in place and looked at Zhang Renjie in a daze. Zhang Renjie held his hands in his sleeves and hunched his back, looking like an old man on the street.

"Oh, you haven't been home for a long time, I just want to be familiar with this place, so you don't have to get in the way of me, it's a simple thing to ask for a leave of absence from the boss, and you're still worried that the state won't be able to approve it? Zhang Renjie struck Chu Mo with his elbow with a big grin.

"But...... How can this be so good that the envoy will come to take care of the county government, no matter how bad it is, the master is in charge, I have thanked Brother Zhang first, but ......" Chu Mo looked at Zhang Renjie and said.

"But what's the matter, don't be mother-in-law, the family will let you go back, you can go back a little bit, my Qi country is also convenient, and it is not far from your Korea, and it will be a few days away." Zhang Renjie said as he walked, "They are all brothers, so you don't need to be polite to me, counting the distance back and forth, it's a month, right?"

Chu Mo looked at Zhang Renjie's cheerful tone, and felt that something was not quite right for a while, but he couldn't see any clues, so he had to accept it. After all, following the instructions of the national teacher always comes first.

Chu Mo thought about it, made a series of masterpieces to Zhang Ren, and said, "The trivial matters in the county government will trouble Brother Zhang." ”

"Out of the way, out of the way. Zhang Renjie waved his hand impatiently.

"I just have something to worry about, please Brother Zhang handle it for me. Liu Xiaoxiao in the Niu Tao case, please be sure to protect her, the clues on her body cannot be broken, if there is a situation, send me a letter at any time. Chu Mo instructed.

Zhang Renjie walked to his room by himself, and said loudly: "With me here, don't worry, I will ask someone to send a message to the state in a while, and you will wait for tomorrow to leave." ”
