Chen County is a poor county, and the county magistrate of Chen County is also a hard job, especially in recent years, because of the frequent civil uprisings in Chen County, the position of the county magistrate of Chen County is even more of a fire pit.

In just three or four years, the county magistrate of Chen County was like a revolving lantern, and seven or eight county magistrates came to take office in a row.

No one is willing to take this position, and the imperial court appointed them, and they had to go to the post. However, after the previous county magistrates took office, they did not consider how to govern the county, but how to use money to get involved. They tried their best to transfer away from this place. If it doesn't work, I would rather make some mistakes and be demoted from here.

Being an official is naturally a good thing, but few people are willing to do it if there is no oil and water, and they also have to bear the danger of civil uprising.

Chen Chong, the current county magistrate of Chen County, is worried every day.

Although his surname is Chen, he is by no means from Chen County. After he was transferred here, his wife and children dared not bring him here for safety reasons. Knuckles, have been here for almost a year.

It was still daylight, and Chen Chong was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. Hearing the rapid knock on the door, Chen Chong got up from the bed reflexively. window, and then turned around and asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

He didn't know when the civil uprising would happen, but he remembered clearly that one of the previous county magistrates almost lost his life because of the civil uprising. Although he survived in the end, his two legs were Disabled.

Thinking of what happened to that colleague, Chen Chong's heart skipped a beat. For a long time, he kept his saved money in a parcel, and put it by the bedside when he went to bed. Good escape.

"Tang Zun, it's a villain." A voice came from outside.

When Chen Chong heard that it was the county lieutenant who was in charge of the county government officials, he was relieved at first, but immediately became nervous again: "What are you doing knocking on the door at this hour?"

County Wei came to knock on the door before dawn, which made Chen Chong feel that things were still not good.

Chen County is different from other counties, because the place is chaotic, for the sake of safety, the county government office is several times that of other counties, and the county government office is guarded day and night to protect the safety of the county magistrate.

The county lieutenant had already said outside: "Report to Tang Zun, there are people coming from Fucheng, I want Tang Zun to meet you immediately!"

"Someone from Fucheng?" Hearing that it wasn't the people rioting, Chen Chong was really relieved, put the package away, and then stepped forward to see the door: "Who is coming at this time? May I ask what you want to do?"

The county lieutenant said: "My lord, it seems to be a high-ranking official, but I don't know about the younger ones. I just told my lord to go over quickly. They are waiting in the side hall now!"

Chen Chong rolled his eyes and said, "Wait a minute, master, I'll put on my clothes before going over."

……

……

Wei Tianqing and Mr. Lin are sitting in the side hall of the county yamen at this moment, the dawn has just appeared, and the sky and the earth are already a little bright.

When Chen Chong came over, he frowned when he saw the clothes of Wei Tianqing and Master Lin. Master Lin was dressed in businessman's clothes, while Wei Tianqing's clothes were even more shabby, like a commoner. Seeing these two people sitting in the side hall , Chen Chong was furious, before entering the door, he turned his head and glared fiercely at the county magistrate, cursing in a low voice: "Are your eyesight not good? Is this someone from Fucheng?"

The county lieutenant lowered his head and said: "Tang Zun, when they came in, they showed a sign...the one with the knife on the table showed the sign of the Imperial Guard."

"Ah?" Chen Chong looked over, and there was a big knife on the tea table next to Wei Tianqing.

He didn't have time to think too much, he entered the door, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Chen Chong, magistrate of Chen county, I don't know how to address you two adults?"

Wei Tianqing looked at Chen Chong and said, "Are you the magistrate of Chen County?"

"Your official is right." Chen Chong couldn't help but bow when he saw Wei Tianqing's hulking back, although he was dressed in shabby clothes, but he possessed a mighty power, his originally upright body.

Wei Tianqing said: "We will be controlled by the imperial guards!" After speaking, he took out a token from his sleeve and showed it in front of Chen Chong's eyes.

Chen Chong was taken aback. Although he and Wei Tianqing had never met each other, they had heard of this name. Now that Wei Tianqing had the token in his hand, Chen Chong naturally wouldn't doubt it, and his expression became more humble.

He is a small county magistrate, while Wei Tianqing is the commander of the Imperial Guards of Xishan Road and the confidant of the governor of Xishan Road. The identities of the two are quite different, and their backs are even deeper. Jing: "Your Majesty pays homage to Wei Tongzhi. I don't know that Wei Tongzhi is coming. What's your order?"

Master Lin didn't speak, but just sat beside him with his eyes closed.

Wei Tianqing signaled Chen Chong to sit down, and Chen Chong sat down carefully beside him, with only half of his buttocks on the chair, respectful, thinking of something, he said to the county captain in front of the door: "Not yet... Hurry up and serve tea!"

The county captain hurried to make tea.

Wei Tianqing was born as a warrior, and he did things quickly, so he asked directly: "Magistrate Chen, you must know all about the quarry in Chen County?"

Chen Chong didn't know why Wei Tianqing asked such a question, but he still said respectfully: "All lower officials know."

"I want to ask you, how many quarries are there in Chen County?"

"This...!" A trace of sweat broke out on Chen Chong's forehead, he thought for a while, and then said: "Returning to the adults, there are a total of 27 quarries recorded in the book, including eight large quarries, five medium-sized quarries, and small quarries. There are fourteen places in the field."

Wei Tianqing said solemnly: "Are you sure?"

Chen Chong was stunned, but quickly nodded and said: "Your official... Your official is sure." Then he said: "This official has a special file for recording the quarry, and I will go get it now!"

Wei Tianqing stood up and said, "I will accompany you."

Chen Chong hurriedly bowed and said: "My lord, please, my lord!" He thought to himself: "Could it be that Fucheng sent people here to investigate the quarry?"

Holding the knife, Wei Tianqing said calmly, "Master Chen will lead the way!"

Chen Chong didn't dare to disobey, he led the way, Wei Tianqing followed behind, Master Lin also got up at this time, and followed behind.

The county government office is where the sixth room of the county government is located. Every day there will be people in each room to handle errands, but today it is still early in the day, and the people from each room have not yet come. Chen Chong took the two of them directly to the door of the household. The door was locked, so he went to get the key again, opened the door of the household room, and led Wei Tianqing and the two of them in.

The room was very dark, Chen Chong lit the lamp, there were a lot of texts inside, but they were neat and tidy.Chen Chong invited the two of them to sit down first, and after searching for a while, he finally found a document and gave it to Wei Tianqing.

Master Lin did not speak from the beginning to the end, and Chen Chong did not know the details of Master Lin, but since he was able to be with Wei Tianqing, he must not be an ordinary person. He did not dare to ask questions, let alone sit down. Next to him, he said cautiously: "Wei Tongzhi, this is the list of the major quarries in Chen County. It records the mining time and the number of miners in each major quarry, as well as the statistics of the currently mined stones. The Department of Quarry also has such a document.”

Wei Tianqing read it carefully by the light, frowned, handed the document to Master Lin, and said, "My lord, there is really no record in it." After speaking, he sneered and glanced at Chen Chong.

Master Lin casually flipped through it, glanced at it a few times, with a blank expression on his face, he actually put this document on the lamp to catch it on fire.

Chen Chong was taken aback, and lost his voice: "My lord, this...!"

Wei Tianqing didn't wait for him to finish, and said coldly: "Chen Chong, do you know that if there is a hidden report, you can't bear the blame. This copy is really true?"

Seeing that Wei Tianqing was angry, Chen Chong knelt down on the ground with a "Putong", and said in a trembling voice, "Wei Tongzhi, my officer... I don't know what you mean."

"You keep saying that this list of quarries records all the quarries, but I think you are lying." Wei Tianqing said coldly, "Tell me, what are you hiding?"

Chen Chong tremblingly said: "My lords, I dare not hide it!"

"Chen Chong, you are so courageous, you are still hiding it." Wei Tianqing leaned forward and said sharply, "I want to ask you, there is a quarry in Dinggu, do you know?"

Hearing this, Chen Chong's face turned pale, and he kowtowed to the ground, "My lord, I'm sorry... I'm guilty, I'm guilty...!"

……

……

When Lin Dai'er woke up, she found that it was already dawn, and she was already lying in a room, even covered with a quilt.

Lin Dai'er was taken aback, sat up, lifted the quilt, and found that her clothes were neatly dressed, and even her own knife was beside her, she was relieved, turned her head to look, and saw Lu Tianyou sitting on a table He was lying on the chair and sleeping on the table at this time, an oil lamp on the table was still dancing, and the light had already penetrated the window.

She sat on the bed and stayed there for a long time. The nightmare of last night still kept reappearing in her mind. She only hoped that it was a dream, but she knew in her heart that it was a fact that had already happened.

Lu Tianyou walked the rivers and lakes carefully, even fell asleep with one eye open, when he heard the movement, he woke up, saw Lin Dai'er sitting by the bed, and said: "Dai'er, you are awake. "

Lin Dai'er looked sad and asked, "Where are we?"

"In a town, this is an inn." Lu Tianyou stood up and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go find something to eat."

Lin Dai'er shook her head, and asked again: "The stone field...the other side of the stone field...!"

Lu Tianyou's expression also became gloomy, and said: "After they left, I went back. The old and the young were all taken away, and the others... all failed to survive...!" Having said this, he waved his hand bitterly. Fist.

Lin Dai'er's eye circles were red again, and she closed her eyes sadly.

Lu Tianyou sighed, "Dai'er, don't be sad anymore."

Lin Dai'er opened her eyes and said in a daze, "Brother Tianyou, what shall we do next? Let's rescue them?" As soon as the words came out, she gave a wry smile, knowing that it would be impossible to succeed with just the strength of the two of them.

Lu Tianyou also had a dignified expression and did not speak.

Lin Dai'er immediately thought of something, and said: "The hatred is like blood... We must find him and tear him into pieces."

Lu Tianyou sighed: "Dai'er, if it's Qiu Da... Qiu Ruxue betrayed us, it's all my fault. I believed him, I... I deserve death!" Then he clenched his fists, He said coldly: "We must find him. If he really betrayed us, I will take his head."

The two were silent for a while, looking at each other speechlessly.

"We need to contact the Taoist sect." After a while, Lu Tianyou said: "The Blood Society has been destroyed, we can only find the Taoist sect and let them help us."

Lin Daier frowned, and said, "Brother Tianyou, we...we don't ask for anyone, go to the capital, wait for the opportunity, and assassinate the thieves."

Lu Tianyou pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Dai'er, I know how you feel, but now only you and I are left in the Blood Society, and we can only avenge the revenge of foster father and the others. , we must be careful at every step, and we must not use our emotions to kill ourselves in vain." After a pause, we said: "Let's find a way to rescue the second uncle and the fifth brother first. With them here, we can discuss the big plan together, but to rescue them, we just need to save them." I can go to the Daomen for help."

Lin Dai'er sneered and said, "When we had a large number of people, they never helped us. Now it's just you and me, and they...won't they help us?"

Lu Tianyou said: "Everything has to be tried."

Lin Dai'er said: "Even if we want to find them, where can we find them? Only Hou Muxin and Second Uncle know how to contact them. We... We don't have but we have no way."

Lu Tianyou thought for a while, then leaned closer, and asked in a low voice: "Dai'er, did foster father say anything to you before he left? Or did he leave anything for you? Back then, foster father met Tian Gong, and he Is there a clue left for you, but you don't know?"
