Wei Tianqing laughed and said: "That's right, the Guanzhong horse is not worth mentioning." Then he said: "The horse I got last time was a Liaodong horse produced in Liaodong Road. Hehe, this makes it easier to find out the clues. The road is the closest to Kansai, and most of the inflows are Northwest horses from the Kansai area. This Liaodong horse is not too big here. Shen Yiwei quickly found out that this horse came from a horse dealer named Hu. .”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "It's a horse dealer who wants to buy horses from Liaodong and sell them. He should be registered... Even if he doesn't want to register, there will always be checkpoints along the way?"

Wei Tianqing sighed: "This horse dealer surnamed Hu is not an ordinary horse dealer. He has people in the court and his business is huge. Horse dealers who sell horses have to report to the horse stables when they enter and exit. Every time a horse is sold Horses also have to pay a certain amount of taxes. Most horse dealers naturally dare not hide and report, but this surname Hu relies on someone in the court, but every year he conceals the number and source of a batch of horses... He has a relationship with Liaodong In trade, the price of Liaodong horses purchased is cheap, but in our Guanzhong area, the price of Liaodong horses is very high. One in and one out, the profits are huge, and he concealed the tax on horses, earning a lot of money from it. He has the capital The horse brand wholesaled by the Ministry of Finance, with this horse card in hand, is convenient to do. Relying on the money and the power behind it, a horse road from Liaodong to Guanzhong has been opened, and hundreds of Liaodong horses are smuggled from Liaodong every year. Cai, although many people know about this, they all turn a blind eye to it."

Chu Huan's face became serious.

After the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, many prohibitions were issued, and the control of knives and horses was very strict, just because they were worried that someone would plot wrongdoing and secretly plot rebellion.

At the beginning, there were many princes in the Central Plains, known as the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Central Plains. Today, the sons conquered the north and conquered the world, but the remnants of the various countries may not all be wiped out. Over the years, the imperial court has secretly set eyes and ears in all branches of the Great Qin, just to be on guard. Those subjugated ministers are plotting to rise again and bring disaster to the world.

But in the past two years, many bans have begun to appear. Not to mention other things, the horse dealer surnamed Hu alone has hundreds of private horses secretly circulating every year, and the government does not know where the horses go. into disaster.

Those who want to buy a large number of horses in private are certainly not ordinary people who work from sunrise to sunset, but those who have ulterior motives.

There are so many undercurrents of private horse dealers in the family of horse dealers surnamed Hu alone, so in the whole Great Qin Kingdom, it is unknown how many horse dealers are secretly doing this illegal business.

Wei Tianqing saw Chu Huan's thoughts, and sighed: "We can't worry about this matter." After a pause, he smiled again: "But this time, the future of the Hu Huan is not good, and the local officials don't care about it." Dare to investigate him, but Shenyiwei is not afraid. Shenyiwei found him and interrogated him secretly, but he did ask about some things. The surname Hu confessed that the horses were sold together, a total of sixty horses However, this kind of private transaction, he can't ask the buyer's name. Fortunately, this surname Hu saw them buying sixty horses at a time, but he was careful, and secretly inquired. Those Liaodong horses flowed into Tongzhou .”

"Tongzhou?"

Tongzhou is also in the territory of Xishan Road, in the northern area of ​​Xishan Road, it is really a long way from Yunshan Mansion, and Tongzhou is the poorest state among the states of Xishan Road, and its geographical conditions are extremely poor. Speaking of it, Tongzhou It is also a prefecture with a lot of banditry in Xishan Dao. In disaster years, there are turmoil in Tongzhou from time to time, and the banditry is even more prevalent.

Wei Tianqing nodded, and said in a low voice: "Shenyiwei got a confession and secretly went to Tongzhou. With the help of the local government, he conducted a secret investigation and finally found out the whereabouts of the Liaodong horses just a few days ago. "

"Oh?"

"There is a Heishui River in Tongzhou. Along the river, there is a mountain called Heishui Mountain. Shenyiwei found out that dozens of Liaodong horses appeared at the same time near Heishui Mountain." Wei Tianqing clenched his fists and said: "Later, I inquired carefully and found that there are a group of bandits entrenched in that Black Water Mountain, not a few, and I don't know why...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Brother Wei, there are Liaodong horses in Heishui Mountain, so they may not be those Jiang bandits." He asked, "Can those people rob their homes? Can the people nearby be harmed? Don't just live on the mountain with a group of people , but did not violate the king's law, and was regarded as a bandit."

Wei Tianqing shook his head and said, "I've never heard of that." Then he lowered his voice and said, "But when Shenyiwei investigated this matter, I asked the artist to draw a rough outline of the female bandit leader's figure, Shenyiwei Sun Baihu took the portrait and took people to investigate near Heishui Mountain, and it was really eye-opening to find out the clues. There is indeed a trace of this female bandit leader in the area of ​​Heishui Mountain!"

Chu Huan said: "Aren't you afraid of leaking news when you conduct such an investigation? Those bandits are entrenched in the Heishuishan area, and they must have set up their eyes and ears near Heishuishan. Shenyiwei took the portrait to look for clues. If you know, don’t you want to startle the snake?”

Wei Tianqing shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. If other yamen are on errands, you have to worry about one or two. The people in Shenyiwei... don't doubt their ability to handle affairs!"

Chu Huan pondered for a while before asking: "Can the details of the female bandit leader be found out? Where did they come from?"

"In order not to startle the enemy, Sun Baihu didn't get too close, so we haven't found out their real details yet." Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "But in a few days, we will know their details."

Chu Huan wondered, "Why?"

Wei Tianqing looked around and made sure that there was no one around, then leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Just last night, the governor has secretly mobilized two thousand imperial guards to go to Tongzhou!"

"Huh?" Chu Huan was taken aback.

Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "I'm looking for Brother Chu today, just to tell you that we will set off at dusk, hurry up and catch up!"

Chu Huan said, "Brother Wei, what do you mean?"

"That's right, you and I will go together to encircle and suppress those bandits." Wei Tianqing clenched his fists and said, "This time we mobilize two thousand imperial guards, and those bandits are the most vicious, so we must wipe them all out!" Hehehe He smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I moved my hands and feet like this. The imperial guards should also practice hard to win the praise of the Governor. This time to encircle and suppress the bandits, the Governor appointed you to go with me... Brother Chu, you come into our The Imperial Guards, the brothers of the Imperial Guards have already heard the news, but they still have doubts about your ability, if you have such a good opportunity, you must show your skills and don't let the governor down!"

Chu Huan pondered for a moment before saying, "Chu Huan naturally obeys the governor's order." After a pause, he asked, "It's just that the imperial guards were transferred, and they left yesterday. Why did Brother Wei leave today?"

"Covering people's eyes and ears." Wei Tianqing said: "This secret operation can't let the bandits get any news. If I show myself in the city today, no one will think that the imperial guards have been dispatched."

Chu Huan said: "Two thousand imperial guards, that is a huge army, if people don't know... I'm afraid it will be very difficult!"

Wei Tianqing smiled and said: "It has been planned in advance. Except for a very small number of senior generals, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard thought that this trip was going to Cangzhou, and Tongzhou was the only way to go to Cangzhou. When they arrived in Tongzhou, Then hit Heishui Village by surprise...!"

"So that's how it is!" Chu Huan understood, even the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard can hide it, so naturally he can hide it from outsiders even more.

"Brother Chu, after dinner, go back and clean up. At dusk, you go directly to the Shili official road outside the North City Gate and wait for me, and we will catch up together!"

"Okay!" Chu Huan nodded, thinking of something, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wei, these bandits are far away in Heishui Mountain, Tongzhou. Why did they go to the Jingjiang River to kidnap the governor's wife? They don't want money, what is it for? It stands to reason that this group of people should not have any grudges with the governor!"

Wei Tianqing said: "Actually, I've always wondered about this." After a pause, he frowned and said, "However, something happened in the yamen a few days ago, and I don't know if it's related to those people!"

"Oh?" Chu Huan didn't ask directly, but a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

After all, this is a matter in the yamen, and Chu Huan didn't know if Wei Tianqing could tell. If he couldn't tell, it would be bad to ask on his own initiative, so he didn't ask directly.

Wei Tianqing trusted Chu Huan very much, and said softly: "Before my wife was robbed, someone tried to rob the prison in Yunshan Mansion several times in a row. Catch them alive, but this group of people are really desperadoes. They were either killed or committed suicide before being captured. After several times, they died more than a dozen people... Now the Yunshan Prison has strengthened its defenses, but the group of people It has never appeared again, and I don’t know if the gang of bandits in Heishuizhai are involved with the gang of thieves who robbed the prison!”

Chu Huan was startled, and his first reaction was that these groups of people must be involved.

"Brother Wei, I understand." Chu Huan said softly, "Those gangsters hijacked Madam, I'm afraid they wanted to replace Madam...In the big prison, there are probably their companions!"

"Companion?" Wei Tianqing frowned, and said, "If these groups of people are really involved, then Brother Chu's guess is very reasonable. But now it is still impossible to determine whether they are a group, and... and Yunshan Da In the prison, there are no less than 200 prisoners, most of whom are rebels caught in recent years. Many of them will not say a word no matter how they are interrogated, and their identities cannot be confirmed... But I really don't know who the gangsters are trying to save. Who...!" Wei Yi pondered, picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, poured the wine, and said with a smile: "No matter what, win the battle and catch the gangsters, everything will be clear ...Come on, Brother Chu, let's have a toast first, and hope that we can make it easy this time!"

Chu Huan picked up the wine glass, and both of them drank it down in one gulp——
