Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1148

It rained in Yangzhou city.

A big, big autumn rain.

The autumn rain came at night, and after it came, the weather became much cooler.

Qin Tian didn't feel much about this autumn rain, because even if the weather turned cooler, it still seemed normal to him.

Today's Chang'an City is really cool.

And just after this autumn rain, the people sent by Qin Tian finally got news.

"Young master, we have a clue."

Luo Huang hurried over, with a look of excitement on his face.

Seeing him like this, Qin Tian knew that there was a clue to the plot between Duan Lun and King Huainan.

"what's the situation?"

"It's like this. Didn't it rain last night? Today's roads are full of mud. Our people found that after several carriages left Yangzhou City, they left heavy ruts on the road, and The goods they said were a batch of cloth, but if it was cloth, the ruts would never be pressed so deep, only something as heavy as iron, so the subordinates guessed that those things might be iron."

The density of iron is much higher than that of cloth, and a load of iron must be heavier than a load of cloth.

In this way, the rut marks left behind are naturally different.

Their people discovered the problem through the rut marks, and Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

"Is anyone following those carriages?"

"Don't worry, someone is following."

Qin Tian nodded and said, "Okay, send someone to pretend to be a bandit, intercept that carriage, and see what's inside."

"Yes!"

After Luo Huang took the order, she immediately went down to make arrangements.

At the boundary of Yangzhou, several carriages were walking on the muddy road.

It was almost noon, and although the sun was high above the head, it was not very hot because it was already the end of autumn.

When these carriages were walking, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the dark side.

"I planted this tree, and I opened this road. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy roads."

Bandit talk is corny, but they don't seem to mind at all.

Several carriages were stopped, and I was very upset. They are the governors of the Jiangnan Road, and someone dared to intercept them in the border of Yangzhou, which is a bit too courageous.

Several people were upset and prepared to attack, but at this time, they were stopped by the leader.

What they are doing now is very secretive, and it is not appropriate to make extravagant problems. If something happens, there will be more people involved. They will lose their lives, and it may not work.

"Brothers, we are just a small business, and we don't have much money. If you want to buy road money, you can naturally. There are more than [-] yuan here, and you spend it."

Thirty pennies is already a lot. In this person's opinion, there shouldn't be any problem in sending these robbers away.

However, when these robbers heard what he said, they just chuckled: "Interesting, it's really interesting, you just want to send us the thirty pennies, and I think you have a lot of goods, so I want yours." Goods."

The eyebrows of these people froze when they heard that they wanted the goods. The things here are all iron, how can they be given to these robbers.

"I advise you not to go too far. Giving you money is already very respectful of you, otherwise I will make you regret coming out to rob Dao today."

The man who was trying to persuade him just now was suddenly full of violence, and he became a little scary.

There is no way, this batch of goods must not fall into the hands of these robbers.

But those robbers just chuckled: "I want to see how you make me regret it."

After speaking, the two sides immediately drew their sharp knives.

"kill!"

The hauler shouted and immediately killed them. They are all close friends of Duan Lun, and their skills are not weak, so in their opinion, as long as they are willing, these bandits can't do anything to them .

But after the two sides actually fought, these people immediately felt a pressure, these bandits are very powerful.

"His grandma's, unexpectedly encountered a hard stubble."

Cursing secretly in their hearts, they worked harder and harder, but facing those robbers, their strength seemed a little helpless.

The fighting didn't last long, and soon, many of those people were killed by bandits, and the remaining few were quickly controlled.

This was arranged by Qin Tian early in the morning, to keep a few alive.

After the battle, the bandits opened the carriage. After opening, they saw that the carriage was full of iron objects.

"Young master is right, let's go!"

These robbers only glanced at it, and then left without hesitation, pulling the carriage and those people.

barracks.

"Young master, there is news."

Luo Huang hurried over again.

"How, what is it?"

"My lord, our guess is correct. Those carriages are filled with iron objects. It seems that Duan Lun and King Huainan are really plotting something wrong."

Hearing this, Qin Tian's expression froze for a moment. Duan Lun had ten thousand troops, and the King of Huainan might have already recruited troops. He should have tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. If they were added together, there should be no such thing as controlling the entire southern part of the Tang Dynasty. questionable.

And once their power expands, other vassals are bound to respond.

At that time, I am afraid that the situation will not be good.

Qin Tian walked back and forth, Luo Huang said: "My lord, Duan Lun is such a conspiracy, should we report to the Holy Majesty, so that the Holy Majesty can send troops to suppress it?"

Qin Tiandao: "Chang'an City is too far away from here. When the soldiers and horses of the Holy Majesty arrive, many things will be too late. Moreover, we only got the matter of Duan Lun's transportation of iron, and there is no evidence that he colluded with King Huainan. Even if we want to To say that they conspired against each other is also missing something."

The more serious the case of treason, the more evidence is needed.

Luo Huang faintly felt that the matter was a bit difficult.

"Young Master, what should we do now? We only have two thousand mad demon troops. If we have a conflict with them, I'm afraid we won't be their opponents."

It is true that the Mad Demon Army is very powerful, but if they confront Duan Lun's [-] troops head-on, they will definitely not gain any advantage.

Qin Tian was also very clear about this point.

The autumn wind outside was still blowing, and the sound of fighting could be heard from time to time in the barracks.

After a long time, Qin Tian stopped suddenly and said, "Soon, Duan Lun will know that their iron cavalry has been plundered by bandits, and with Duan Lun's temper, he will definitely not let it go, we might as well set up a situation to attract Duan Lun is here to dance..."

Qin Tian murmured together, and after Luo Huang listened, he said: "Young master, if Duan Lun is up to the trick, we can control the overall situation, and my subordinates will make arrangements."

Qin Tian nodded and said, "Okay, tell Hu Shiba to be more careful, and then he might as well be more aggressive."

Some things should be overbearing when they should be overbearing. What he asked Hu Shiba to do, he needed to be overbearing. Being overbearing made everyone feel scared.

Luo Huang nodded: "Young master, don't worry, there will never be any problems, this matter is settled like this."
