It was night, and the night in Tongzhou was extremely cold. Zhao Guangqing had already issued several orders in Tongzhou Zhizhou's mansion. In addition to the orders received by the yamen at all levels in Tongzhou City, people from all counties under Tongzhou also sent official documents quickly. It is to ask the counties to start sending yamen servants to search for the missing weapons and equipment in Heishuishan.

In particular, within a hundred miles of Heishui Mountain, it will be the focus of the search, and all roads and checkpoints within the hundred miles area will be blocked, and passing vehicles, horses, and pedestrians will be strictly checked.

After the document was issued, it was already very late, so Zhao Guangqing ordered some small dishes to be prepared. Just as he was about to eat, a servant came over with a small jar of wine and said, "My lord, at dusk, Duan Qianhu personally delivered This jug of wine is said to be a fine wine that was obtained with great difficulty...!"

Zhao Guangqing was dressed in casual clothes at this time, took the wine jar, saw that the wine jar was very delicate, said with a smile: "This kid Duan Xun is also a greedy drinker, if you give me a small jar, he must have a bigger one."

At this moment, he heard footsteps outside, Zhao Guangqing frowned, looked in front of the door, but saw Wei Tianqing and Chu Huan leaving and returning, got up hurriedly, cupped his hands and said: "Master Wei, I am The officer is about to eat, come here, let's have a good drink."

Wei Tianqing stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Lord Zhao, one person died today!" He cut to the point and didn't beat around the bush.

Zhao Guangqing was stunned, frowned and said, "Master Wei, who died? If you can work hard, you can personally say that it is not ordinary people who died."

"I don't know him either." Wei Tianqing said: "But this person instructed people to spy on my conversation with General Chu Wei, and we found out. When we chased him, he died on the street."

"Dead on the street?" Zhao Guangqing showed a slightly surprised look: "Master Wei, could it be...!"

"We didn't kill him, he died of poisoning." Wei Tianqing sat down, and then Zhao Guangqing called Chu Huan to sit down as well, and asked with a puzzled face: "Master Wei, what's going on, I'm a little confused gone."

Wei Tianqing stared at Zhao Guangqing and asked: "Master Zhao, can you send someone to bring Duan Xun over now? I have something to ask him." After a pause, he frowned and said, "General Chu Wei and I have already gone to the city door to look for him, but there is no trace of him!"

Without further ado, Zhao Guangqing shouted: "Come here!" When the servants came over, he ordered: "Quickly send Duan Xun over, and say that I have something urgent to discuss with him, so hurry up!"

The servants have to leave.

Zhao Guangqing waited for his servants to leave, and immediately frowned and asked: "Master Wei, what are you looking for Duan Xun to do? Could it be that the dead man has something to do with Duan Xun?" The wine glass was about to be poured for the two of them, but Chu Huan had already got up to take the wine jar and poured the wine himself. After all, he was a guard general, and Wei Tianqing and Zhao Guangqing had much higher official positions than him, so it was natural for him to pour the wine. liquor.

Wei Tianqing said: "When we were chasing that person, Duan Qianhu happened to run into him, cut off his arm, and even kicked him...!"

Zhao Guangqing sighed: "Duan Qianhu has a fiery temper, and I often advise him not to be impatient, but this kid has never taken it to heart...!" Suddenly thinking of something, he said in surprise: "Master Wei, you wouldn't That person was kicked to death by Duan Xun?"

At this moment, Chu Huan finally said: "The man was not kicked to death, but poisoned to death."

"Poisoned to death?" Zhao Guangqing looked confused, obviously confused, and asked, "Why was he poisoned to death again? Why does the more I listen, the more confused I become."

Wei Tianqing said lightly: "When Duan Xun comes over, I will also ask him why that man died of poisoning."

Zhao Guangqing picked up his wine glass and said with a wry smile: "The Chinese New Year is about to come, and I am planning to have a good year, but strange things happen frequently, and this year seems to be difficult for me." Weird, but also loyal to his duty, I don't know what you think of him, but when he comes over, please treat him calmly." With a faint smile, he said: "This jar of wine was sent by him at dusk. Drinking this altar of wine, I will say something nice for him...!" After speaking, the rim of the cup was already brought to his lips, and he was about to drink it all in one gulp.

Chu Huan narrowed his eyes, but Wei Tianqing sternly said, "Don't drink!"

Zhao Guangqing was startled, put down his wine glass, and said displeasedly: "Master Wei, what do you mean?"

Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "I'm afraid Mr. Zhao will not even be able to pass this year's end after drinking this glass of wine."

"Lord Wei, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk about it." Zhao Guangqing suddenly changed his face, and said angrily, "Do you think there is poison in this wine? Do you think I want to poison you in the wine?"

Wei Tianqing shook his head, and said lightly: "We don't worry about Mr. Zhao poisoning us, we only worry about someone poisoning Mr. Zhao!"

"Poison this official?" Zhao Guangqing said in a daze, "You mean Duan Xun? Duan Xun wants to poison this official?" Then he laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "It will never be like this. Master Wei doesn't know something, although Duan Qianhu came I have only been in Tongzhou for four years, but he has the same temperament as me, and he is very obedient to this official, and this official appreciates him very much. Duan Qianhu is a low-key person and capable in handling affairs, but he is a rare talent. Almost became brothers with him... Over the years, Duan Xun has helped me a lot, and I am planning to recommend him to the imperial court for another promotion, how could he poison me?" He smiled, and turned to Wei Tianqing Obviously, I don't believe it at all.

Wei Tianqing sighed: "Master Zhao, if you don't believe it, you can test whether there is poison in this wine. I am not sure that there must be poison in it, but there is something strange, just to remind Master Zhao to be careful."

Zhao Guangqing smiled and said: "Thank you, Lord Wei, for reminding me. Lord Wei is used to leading troops in battle, so he is really careful in everything...!" Amidst the loud laughter, someone already fetched a silver needle, and said with a smile: "I also heard People say that this silver needle is the most convenient for drug testing. If there is poison in it, the silver needle will change color." After speaking, the silver needle stuck into the cup and said with a smile: "How could Duan Xun poison me? Master Wei can do it this time. I'm really suspicious...!" Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

Several people present could clearly see that the silver needles had turned black, which also proved that the wine was indeed poisonous.

Zhao Guangqing was stunned for a moment, with sweat dripping from his forehead, and then he became furious, slapped the table heavily, and said sharply, "Come on, lead someone to tie up Duan Xun to me immediately!"

"My lord, someone has been sent to pass it on!" The servant reminded.

"Take someone there again and tie him here." Zhao Guangqing looked extremely angry: "He actually harmed me...he dared to poison me...!" He had already stood up, his expression contorted due to anger, and he looked at the table next to him. An antique on the top was picked up with a probing hand, and it was slammed on the ground, and the antique was smashed to pieces on the ground.

Zhao Guangqing was short of breath. After a while, he finally realized that he had lost his composure. He turned around, sat down again, and said with a wry smile, "I made you two laugh. It's just that I never thought of it...!" Shaking his head, he let out a long sigh, Then he frowned and asked, "Master Wei, how did you know that Duan Xun was going to poison the wine? If you hadn't stopped him just in time, I'm afraid I'd be a corpse by now."

Wei Tianqing said sternly: "Master Zhao, I want to ask, is Xun only in charge of city defense in Tongzhou during this period?"

Zhao Guangqing thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said: "To tell the truth, Master Wei, although there are many officials in Tongzhou, there are not many people in this pass that we trust, and there are only a handful of people who can really do things." Pause , Continued: "This paragraph of Xun is a low-key person, and he has always reassured the official in his work. You must also know that the situation in Tongzhou is complicated, and the official has limited energy. He can't manage everything, so he gave Duan Xun some power. Tongzhou Duan Xun handles all the important roads and checkpoints... In fact, what I am most worried about is that there will be knives and horses flowing into Tongzhou. Once these things fall into the hands of the rebellious party, the consequences will be unimaginable. Duan Xun is capable and he will be in charge This matter, this officer is at ease...!"

Wei Tianqing clenched his fist and said, "That's it."

"what?"

"Master Zhao, you also know that the number of weapons and equipment hidden in Heishuishan is not small." Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "I have been thinking about how such a huge number of weapons and equipment flowed into Tongzhou, and how they were transported." To Heishuishan...!"

Zhao Guangqing sighed: "Master Wei, to tell you the truth, after you left earlier, I have been thinking about this issue. If there is no problem with the road checkpoint, these weapons would never have entered Heishui Mountain, but... I trust Duan Xun very much, and I don’t believe that something is wrong with him...!" He pondered for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "It seems that Duan Xun has nothing to do with this matter... It’s just that this official really I can't figure out why he would do this, he has a bright future, as long as he works hard, he will have a bright future in the future, but why...but why did he collude with the bandits from Heishuishan." He looked serious, with doubts in his eyes ,, Obviously, I really can't figure out this problem.

Duan Xun is now in Tongzhou Yingqian household. As long as he is able to do things well and has Zhao Guangqing's sponsor, he will definitely have the opportunity to be promoted in the future, but he has given up his bright future and secretly got involved with Heishuishan. What is the reason for this?

Wei Tianqing thought for a while, and said: "The matter has not been determined yet, and we cannot be sure that everything is related to Duan Xun. This matter needs to be investigated and interrogated."

Zhao Guangqing nodded and said, "Exactly."

Not long after, he heard footsteps from outside. He sent someone to summon Duan Xun to the hall. Zhao Guangqing got up immediately and asked urgently, "Duan Xunke passed it on? Where is he?"

The servant dressed rudely and said: "My lord, Duan Qianhu... Duan Qianhu has disappeared, and I went to his house to look for people... But there are only a dozen servants left in his house, and his wife and children have disappeared." trace!"

"What?" Zhao Guangqing paled suddenly.

Wei Tianqing got up and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that he has already run away?"

"My little one asked. Duan Qianhu's wife and children had already left before dawn yesterday." The servant reported, "The servants don't even know where they went. Duan Qianhu went home in the afternoon and seemed to be Looking for something, after leaving, he never returned to the mansion."

Zhao Guangqing said angrily: "Send someone to look for him again, and he must be tied back to me." He raised his finger to the door, and said sharply: "Hurry up, if you want to see someone alive, if you want to see a dead body, go find it quickly! "

The servants hurriedly retreated.

Zhao Guangqing turned his head, trembling with anger: "I trust him so much, I can't think... I can't think that he stabs me ruthlessly...!" Murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "I found him, I must kill him The corpses are broken into pieces... and the bandits from Heishuishan, I will not let any of them go...!" Seemingly thinking of something, he called for his servants and ordered: "Send someone to take Duan Xun's mansion immediately. Surround him, arrest all his servants and put him in prison, and search his mansion from inside to outside...!"
