"Going to heaven and earth?" Chi Buyan smiled coldly, then the corners of his eyes twitched, thinking of something, he said in a deep voice: "Now search around immediately to see if there is anything suspicious."

The crowd immediately dispersed and searched for the warehouse where it was stolen.

Huazi hurriedly asked: "Commander Chi, did you think of anything?"

"Since you can't go through the main entrance, the only option is to fly to the sky." Chi Buyan said indifferently, "Even if you fly to the sky, you can still be seen by others, then you can only fly to the ground." He walked over and searched for it .

It didn't take too long, and a soldier was already heard shouting: "Master Commander, this way...!"

Chi Buyan quickly passed by, a group of people rushed over, and saw a soldier lift a large wooden board. In this warehouse, wooden boxes were in pairs, and many wooden boxes were covered with a thick layer of wooden boards on the ground. The soldier was so strong that he lifted a large wooden board, and under the light of the fire, everyone changed color. The scene in front of them was shocking. There was a huge hole in the ground.

Hua Zixu's eyes widened, and the others also looked at each other in blank dismay. Without saying a word, he drew his sword in his hand, and jumped into the hole without saying a word. He was tall and big, and the hole was taller and deeper than him. At this moment, he had already seen a tunnel appearing on the earth wall, the tunnel was deep, and the inside was pitch black. At this moment, he understood that the opponent had dug a passage from the ground, and the weapons were obviously transported from here.

In the dignified Hyogo of the Empire, someone actually dug a tunnel underground and transported away a large number of weapons, which is really sensational.

"Torch!" Chi Buyan raised his hand, a soldier handed over the torch, Chi Buyan held the torch, and stooped into the tunnel, several soldiers under him also jumped down and followed behind, in case there was any mistake , Hua Zixu hesitated for a moment, helpless, and followed.

This tunnel is not very wide, and he bowed his head and walked forward. Looking at the traces on the ground, there are obviously traces of transporting things left in it, and the soil walls on the side are very rough. There is no doubt that this tunnel is also Quickly rush to work and complete in a short time.

I don't know how long I walked along this tunnel, but I even turned a few turns. The air inside is so thin that it makes people feel very stuffy. Huazixu can hardly breathe. After holding on for a while, Huazixu feels dizzy Dazed, he finally heard Chi Buyan whispered in front of him: "This is it."

Chi Buyan reached the end of the tunnel, and found that it was also covered with a wooden plank. He passed the torch to the back, held the big knife tightly, and was cautious, and did not move immediately. There was a moment of silence, as if he wanted to listen to the movement above. He raised his hand and pushed away the upper wooden plank. It was also pitch black and extremely quiet. He ran out of the exit, and first looked around. It was dark and deathly silent. , only to find that he was already in a house, but the house was empty, not only was there no one, there was not even a chair.

Chi Buyan held the knife and looked around the house, then opened the door and went out, only to see a small courtyard outside, and actually entered a mansion from the tunnel.

Hua Zixu also went out the door, looked around, and said in surprise: "This is... This is Liu Shilang's house."

"Which servant Liu?"

"Liu Guangyuan, the right servant of the Ministry of War." Hua Zixu hurriedly explained: "However, he was interrogated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for corrupting the law, and he has been executed...!"

Chi Buyan frowned.

"His family was also assigned to Liaodong." Hua Zixu said: "This house was taken away by the household department...!"

Chi Buyan walked around the yard and asked, "Is it not far from Hyogo?"

"It's also ten miles away." Hua Zixu said: "It seems that the rebel party transported their weapons here from underground."

"How do they transport it away?" Chi Buyan said: "Since it is a deserted house, if someone comes in and out here, wouldn't it be suspicious?" He ordered a soldier, "Go to the next door to see if there is anyone there, find someone who knows When the person with the situation comes over, he will say that the commander is under the order of the prison country to investigate the important case, no matter who it is, someone will come and answer immediately."

He knew that since this was the mansion of the right servant of the Ministry of War, the next door was naturally not an ordinary house, and if it was expensive, it would be expensive.

The soldiers led the order to go out, but without saying anything, they searched the mansion. After searching for a long time, no one was found, but the strange thing was that there were a lot of new furniture piled up in many places, and it seemed that someone was going to move into the empty mansion. .

When the soldier who went out to search for someone came back, he brought an old man over fifty years old. Looking at his clothes, he seemed to be a servant of a rich family. When the old servant saw him, he didn't say anything, and he had already stepped forward and saluted: "My master It was Yushi Zhongcheng Xing Zhongcheng who sent this old slave to answer."

Chi Buyan asked: "Is this house deserted?"

"Returning to your lordship, this was originally one of the mansions of Liu Guangyuan, the right servant of the Ministry of War. After Liu Guangyuan was convicted, his family property was confiscated, and this mansion was taken away by the Ministry of Household Affairs." The old servant explained: "But not long A while ago, I heard that this house was bought by a merchant. Originally, this house was owned by the government. How could it be sold to those dirty merchants? I just heard that the merchant paid a high price, and the Ministry of Households did not know why. So I sold this house to that person. These days, that person brought his car in and out of here, and transported furniture here for many days, and it was only yesterday that he calmed down. It seems that he has already settled down."

Chi Buyan asked coldly, "Who is that businessman?"

"I really don't know." The old servant shook his head and said: "Your Excellency also knows that recently, many people from the southeast have fled to the capital, and there are many merchants. They went to the capital to buy properties and did not hesitate to spend. Officials, of course, would not associate with such people, and they also told us not to associate with them, so we didn’t even say a word, and we don’t know much about their surnames.”

Hua Zixu's face was pale: "My lord, from this point of view, they bought this house with ulterior motives, and it was specially used to hoard weapons. The so-called transport of furniture was actually a deception. When those cars brought furniture, when they left, All the weapons must be transported to other places."

Chi Buyan clenched his fists, with a cold look in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Sure enough, it's cunning." He said in a deep voice: "Leave two people here to guard, Mr. Hua, you also go back to your military department first, and go talk to yours." Tell the people in the hall, let them see what's wrong with the Ministry of War...!" snorted coldly, "I'm afraid His Highness will look for you soon, so you can take care of yourself."

He didn't say any more, and led his subordinates to leave quickly, Huazi was stunned, and stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.

Chi Buyan hurriedly walked towards the Hyogo. He was about to ride to the Prince's Mansion to report the situation to the Prince. Just outside the Hyogo, someone came up to greet him and said anxiously: "Commander, you are finally here. Something is wrong...!"

Chi Buyan's heart sank, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ximen...beside the west gate...!" the man panted heavily. "A lot of refugees gathered outside the west gate, and they were about to rush into the city. They looked very angry, and they looked like they were going to enter the city to make trouble."

"Refugees making trouble?" Chi Buyan frowned and said, "Why making trouble? Didn't they set up a pot outside the city and supply them with porridge every day?"

"Commander, you...you go and take a look first...!"

Chi Buyan knew that the situation was urgent, so he stopped talking and got on his horse.

The defense of the capital was also entrusted to the Wujing Guard. The Wujing Guard in the entire capital had no more than 6000 to [-] people. They not only had to maintain law and order in the capital, but also guarded the city gates.

He hurried all the way, and before reaching the west city gate, he saw the flames of the west city gate soaring into the sky from a distance, and heard countless shouts and curses, and he galloped to the bottom of the city gate without saying a word, someone came up to him, knelt down on one knee, respectful Said: "Xicheng General Banner Xiao Gui, I pay my respects to Commander-in-Chief."

"What's the situation?" Chi Buyan got off his horse and went straight to the city wall, ready to go up the city ladder to the top of the city. Xiao Gui got up and followed beside him, "These troublesome people want to rebel, they gathered here, and they want us to open the door." The city gate...!"

Chi Buyan climbed up to the top of the city with a cold face, he didn't know if he didn't look at it, after seeing it, Chi Buyan gasped, only to see that the city was crowded with people, more than 5000 people, look at the situation, There were tens of thousands of people, and looking into the distance, under the light of the fire, there were still figures coming towards the city gate from a distance. These people were all ordinary people in torn clothes, shouting loudly.

The Tianmen Dao in the southeast was in chaos, and many people fled here earlier, but the number was not many. When Xuzhou fell, Tianmen Dao started killing in Xuzhou, and the people of Quzhou fled to the capital like a torrent in panic. In the vicinity, those rich and noble people naturally went to the capital to find a place to live. Ordinary people could not even have a meal. Naturally, it was impossible to have any place to live in the capital. Moreover, the imperial court did not allow these people to rush into the capital all at once, fleeing from the southeast. People, no less than 10,000+, if they flood into the city at once, the consequences will be disastrous.

Although the imperial court is short of food, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the prince managed to squeeze out some of the food. He set up porridge stations outside the city to relieve refugees. 10,000+ refugees were mainly distributed in the west and south of the capital. It didn't cause too much trouble, but tonight it was like being stabbed in a hornet's nest, and the refugees swarmed in like hornets.

There were overwhelming numbers of refugees. Countless voices shouted to open the gates of the city. Some even cursed at the imperial court for disregarding the lives of the people.

"What did they say?" Chi Buyan frowned and said, "You heard them yelling, he said that the imperial court wanted to kill them, what's going on?"

Xicheng General Banner Xiao Gui wryly smiled and said, "My lord, look over there...!" Pointing his hand not far away, "My lord, you can see those bamboo poles...!"

Chi Buyan looked in the direction of Xiao Gui's finger, and soon, he saw dozens of people holding bamboo poles under the city, which was very conspicuous among the crowd. There seemed to be something on the bamboo poles. Moved a few steps over there, looked carefully, suddenly changed color, and could already see clearly that on the bamboo pole, there were actually human heads strung together.
