In the tavern, Chu Huan said these words softly, but Wei Tianqing was shocked to hear them. When Chu Huan finished speaking, Wei Tianqing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word When he came out, his fists were tightly clenched, and the veins on his fists were bulging, showing the anger and shock in his heart.

After a while of silence, Wei Tianqing finally asked in a very low voice: "Brother Chu, you mean...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Brother Wei misunderstood, what my younger brother meant was not what Brother Wei thought. It's just that these doubts are circling in my mind, and I can only tell Brother Wei."

Wei Tianqing looked dignified, and whispered: "Brother Chu, if you didn't say it like that, I really wouldn't have thought of this. I only know how to lead troops to fight, and I always thought that Heishuishan was a gang of thugs. When I saw a large number of weapons and equipment, I only thought that the bandits were trying to rebel, but I really didn't expect...!" He pondered for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chu, there are only you and me here, let me ask you, do you think Is there something else hidden about Heishuishan? It even involves the government?"

Chu Huan said solemnly: "If it is a prosperous and peaceful state, I don't want to think too much about it, but as Brother Wei said, this Tongzhou is a place of great public grievances, and there are occasional turmoil. Compared with the Taiping state, this Tongzhou's The control should be stricter. At the very least, the control over materials such as knives and horses should be extremely strict, and the checks at checkpoints, passes, water and land should be even stricter...!"

"Not bad...!" Wei Tianqing nodded thoughtfully, "There are weird things in Tongzhou...!" He clenched his fists and said, "Should we check, where did these weapons come from? There is a yamen in charge of Tongzhou transportation, we have to check it carefully, maybe there is a deal of collusion between officials and bandits...!"

Chu Huan immediately said: "Brother Wei, this is absolutely impossible!"

Wei Tianqing was startled, and asked with a frown: "Brother Chu, from what you said, I already feel that there is a big problem in Tongzhou. Since we know, why don't we find out the situation?"

Chu Huan stared at Wei Tianqing, and said, "Brother Wei, let me ask you, where did you start the investigation? If it was really a collusion between officials and gangsters, it's not just one or two officials involved... and we It's just the imperial guards, and they are not qualified to investigate local officials. Brother Wei wants to investigate, but he has no name, so he will startle the snake."

Wei Tianqing hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Brother Chu, you have to know that if officials are really involved in this matter, this matter...it will be a big deal!"

"Little brother understands." Chu Huan said solemnly: "But this is just our guess here, and we can't be sure that there will be officials involved. And even if we are guessed correctly, officials are really involved, then which officials are involved Among them, we don't have the slightest clue, and we can't be easily alarmed, otherwise the situation in Tongzhou will definitely get worse, and even...even some people will take risks."

Wei Tianqing came to understand and sighed: "Brother Chu, you have a careful mind and you are indeed a person who can accomplish great things." He asked: "Brother Chu, in your opinion, what should we do?"

"It doesn't move like a mountain." Chu Huan said softly: "After we return to the army, Brother Wei can discuss this matter with the governor. After the governor understands the situation, he must have a countermeasure."

Wei Tianqing thought for a while, nodded and said: "At present, it seems that this is the only way to do it." After thinking about it, he finally couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chu, do you think Zhao Guangqing is also involved in this matter?" ?”

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

"As the magistrate of a state, Zhao Guangqing has a high position and authority, so he shouldn't have anything to do with the rebellious party." Wei Tianqing said slowly, "I think it's likely that his officials have something to do with the bandits."

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Anything is possible, but maybe nothing is possible." After a pause, his expression became more serious, and he said softly: "Brother Wei, there is one thing that I didn't want to say, but... It's an unavoidable problem!"

Wei Tianqing seemed to understand something, and his expression became serious.

"There are very few people who know about the dispatch of troops this time." Chu Huan sighed softly: "But judging from the situation in Heishuishan, they have made arrangements in advance, so they must have known the news that the imperial guards came to encircle and suppress... From the agreement to the encirclement and suppression, it took only four or five days in the middle, and the action was very fast. However, a large number of weapons and equipment in Heishuishan were transferred away, and there were new traps on the mountain. The guards agreed that it should not exceed one or two days before and after dispatching troops...!"

Wei Tianqing didn't say a word, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Chu Huan said calmly: "My little brother is grateful to Big Brother Wei, and he knew about this beforehand. Now, I'm afraid there are already people who suspect...!"

Wei Tianqing had already raised his hand to stop him, and said solemnly: "Brother Chu, I, Wei Tianqing, am very simple. If I recognize my brother, I will trust him completely without the slightest doubt. Leaking information will never have anything to do with you." , I firmly believe in this point!"

Chu Huan was stunned, seeing Wei Tianqing's sincere expression, looking into his eyes, he seemed to have no doubts about himself, but he was a little moved in his heart, picked up the jug, and was about to pour Wei Tianqing, when Wei Tianqing also He had already picked up the cup and approached it, but suddenly saw Chu Huan's eyes turned cold, and the flagon in his hand had been thrown out.

The wine pot shot towards the door curtain like a shooting star, this small room was very clean, no one disturbed, it was separated from the outside by a thick cloth door curtain, the wine bottle was like a shooting star, it was hitting the door curtain.

Chu Huan's attack was so powerful that he heard a scream of "Ouch", and a sound came from outside the door curtain.

Wei Tianqing's expression suddenly changed, the whole person has sprang out like a leopard, stretched out his big hand, pulled a person in from the outside, and then fell hard on the ground.

The man screamed "Ouch" again, almost passed out, struggling on the ground, his face was distorted, and he looked very painful.

Wei Tianqing stepped on the man's chest with his right foot in the leather boot, and saw that the man turned out to be a boy in the tavern. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing sneaking around outside?"

At this moment, he naturally understood that Chu Huan's sudden move must be because he found someone listening outside.

The clerk tremblingly said: "Small...the villain didn't do anything...just come here...come to see the two gentlemen...do you need to serve me...!"

Chu Huan frowned, and suddenly took out a dagger from his body, and squatted beside the clerk, without saying a word, a dagger was already stuck in the clerk's arm, neatly, the clerk screamed "ah" again, and almost fainted past.

"Say, what are you doing outside?" Chu Huan asked coldly, stretched out a hand to cover the clerk's mouth, and pulled out the dagger. After slowing down, Chu Huan withdrew his hand and pointed the dagger at his thigh: "If there is any hesitancy or a false statement, today you will have your hands and feet destroyed, and then you will be thrown into prison!"

Seeing that Chu Huan was straightforward and agile, Wei Tianqing nodded slightly, admiring him very much.

People who do great things sometimes can't keep the benevolence of women.

Wei Tianqing and Chu Huan were dressed in armor, so they were not easy to mess with at first sight, coupled with the continuous pain, how could this little guy endure, and confessed in pain: "You two gentlemen, it is... someone I gave the little one ten taels of silver, let the little one... let the little one listen to what the two of you have to say, and when you turn around... tell him what the two of you said, and he can still...can reward you a lot...!"

Wei Tianqing said coldly: "Who let you spy on us?"

The clerk shook his head and said, "I don't know...!" Seeing that the dagger in Chu Huan's hand was about to be stabbed again, he was frightened, and hurriedly said, "I really... don't know who he is, but I know where he is!"

Wei Tianqing and Chu Huan looked at each other, and then Chu Huan asked, "Where is it?"

"It's in the teahouse opposite!" The waiter said tremblingly, "He...he just called the little one over...!"

Without further ado, Wei Tianqing picked up the clerk and walked out of the small room. Chu Huan had already followed him. Not far from the door, the shopkeeper of the tavern was looking at him in horror. Chu Huan had already said to the shopkeeper, "Say something. Words, cut off the tongue!"

The shopkeeper covered his mouth reflexively and didn't dare to speak. There were seven or eight guests in the tavern, all of whom were silent and didn't dare to move.

Wei Tianqing took the waiter to the window, pressed his body against the wall by the window, and asked, "Take a look, see if that person is still there, see clearly!"

The guy was put down, looked out through the window lattice, and was soon dragged in by Wei Tianqing, asking, "Is he still there?"

"Here!" The waiter hurriedly said, "It's on the second floor of the teahouse by the window, the one in purple with a mustache...!"

Chu Huan poked his head slightly, looked over there, and whispered to Wei Tianqing: "Brother Wei, I saw it, it's over there." One life is gone!"

"Little...you don't dare!" The clerk took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to Chu Huan: "This is...this is the person who gave it to me...you dare not tell a lie!"

Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing looked at each other, and they agreed on what to do next. Wei Tianqing raised his hand and slapped the guy on the back of the head. The guy rolled his eyes and fainted. .

Everyone in the tavern turned pale, but covered their mouths, not daring to say a word, or even move.

Only then did Wei Tianqing step out of the tavern, but when he got out of the tavern, his body shook suddenly, and he only took two or three steps, but his whole body seemed to go limp, and he was about to fall down.

Chu Huan followed him, and had already put out his hands to support him, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Wei, you...what's the matter with you?"——
