() The four of Chu Huan and the others had eaten at the time of the day. It was already dusk, and they found an ordinary inn in the city to rest. After they settled down, Chu Huan called the three of them over, Sun Zikong, and closed the door , and then said softly: "Ma Zheng, Suifeng, I want you two to do something important."

Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng immediately became solemn.

"You two also saw it on the road. There are so-called haunting incidents in several villages." Chu Huan said slowly: "This is very strange. I think since those people are pretending to be ghosts, they will not stop so soon. After the two of you have rested, go out of the city together, and search around Taiyuan Prefecture to see if there are other villages where the same thing happened."

Ma Zheng immediately said: "Your Excellency, do you want to find out those pretending to be fools?"

Chu Huan said: "The haunting incident on Anyi Road will not appear sooner or later. It just happened when the Huang family rebelled. No matter whether those people are involved with the Huang family or not, they must have sinister intentions."

Sun Zikong said in a low voice: "Master, shall we go together?"

"We still have other things to do. Let Ma Zheng and his two go to investigate this matter." Chu Huan said solemnly: "But you two must remember that your duty is to inquire about the news and see if there are other villages. If this kind of thing happens, it’s best if the people in the village haven’t moved out. But other than that, you two must not act rashly, only if you find such a place, come back and report to me immediately.” He looked around the house, Said: "After you have the news, it would be better if you can find me. If you can't find me, you just wait here, and I will send someone to connect with you."

Ma Zheng got up and said: "My lord, there is no need to delay, Suifeng and I will pack up now, and leave the city before the city gate is closed in the dark."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. You guys should have a good night's rest first, and it won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning."

After the calculation was settled, several people retreated immediately.

Early the next morning, when Ma Zheng came over, Chu Huan had already got up and said goodbye to Chu Huan. Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng left on their own. Chu Huan and Sun Zikong left the inn after breakfast.

Today, Chu Huan planned to go to Huang Tianyi's mansion first. The Huang family was the leading wealthy family in Anyi Road. They built a magnificent mansion in Taiyuan Mansion, and it was located in the heart of Taiyuan City. , covering a huge area, and now that the Huang clan has withdrawn, they don't know what the mansion looks like now.

It is actually very easy to find the Huang's house, but it is not easy to get close to it. The several roads leading to the Huang's house have been blocked by the Si Yamen of the Criminal Department of the Taiyuan Mansion. If you can't get close, Chu Huan naturally doesn't have two identities. Seeing that the road is blocked, he doesn't approach it. He takes his grandson and leaves as if nothing happened, just passing by here.

After turning a street, Sun Zikong was a little anxious, and said in a low voice, "Master, let's leave like this?"

"Sooner or later, we will see, why wait for a while." Chu Huan said lightly: "You still remember, there is an interesting thing in Taiyuan City that we haven't tried yet. I will take you on a boat trip."

"Yuzhou?" Sun Zikong was taken aback.

Yesterday, when the food is the sky, the man who eats the sky introduced that there is a boat tour in Taiyuan City, but Sun Zikong already understood that Chu Huan came to Taiyuan City first, and it must not be to visit the famous places, but he did not expect Chu Huan to come here. Sometimes there is a pleasure of boating.

Now that Chu Huan had made a decision, Sun Zikong naturally didn't have much to say. The two turned two streets and were looking for the river when they suddenly saw noises coming from not far away. Chu Huan was curious, quickened his pace, and walked forward For a short distance, I turned my head and turned to the street, but saw a small group of people scattered not far away, so I couldn't help walking forward, and there were only about ten people in the crowd, pointing at the front At one o'clock, Chu Huan looked forward and saw seven or eight officers and soldiers with swords surrounding a few people, shouting and drinking, as if there was a dispute.

"Master, it's them." Sun Zikong was already close to Chu Huan's ear at this time, and said in a low voice, "Isn't that the ghost people I saw yesterday?"

Chu Huan didn't say a word, at this moment he could already see clearly that it was the four Guifang people he saw yesterday who had a dispute with the officers and soldiers.

The attitude of the officers and soldiers was obviously very bad. An official in an official robe was pointing at the old man Gui Fang and was talking about something. In an instant, he concluded that the person belonged to the Department of Household Affairs, and that official uniform was exactly the dress of the head of the Department of Household Department.

Chu Huan is the servant of the household department. Although he may not have learned how to handle the affairs of the household department, he naturally has some understanding of the internal situation of the household department, especially the official uniform of the household department. Chu Huan can naturally judge the other party by the official uniform of the household department. identity of.

Seeing that the man was the head of the Department of Household Affairs, Chu Huan couldn't help but looked up to the side, only to realize that he and Sun Zikong had arrived at the Yamen of the Household Department of Taiyuan Mansion without knowing it, and there were two big stone lions in front of the door. It was mighty, and there was also an official plaque on the door. At this time, it was a distance away, and it was impossible to see what was written on it, but Chu Huan could guess it in his heart.

The crowd of onlookers did not dare to get close to them. Although those Guifang people were tall and powerful, they seemed to be in a weak position at this moment. , looked very annoyed, clenched his fists tightly, but didn't dare to act rashly, but the ghost old man was in front of him with a smiling face, negotiating with the head of the household department, although he couldn't hear what the head said at the moment, but It can be seen from his actions that he is arrogant and rude.

Chu Huan was curious, and couldn't help but move closer. Gradually, she heard the chief officer saying coldly: "...and put him in prison. I have told you many times. You need to find out about this matter. Even though you went to find the person surnamed Huang, he signed for everything, and it has nothing to do with our household department office. Today, the official came out to explain to you in person, and this matter will end here. Don't blame me for being rude."

The old man Guifang begged for completeness: "Master, we have more than 1 mouths in the sixteen holes, just waiting for this batch of food to fill our stomachs. Although Master Huang has left, but... But this account cannot be settled like this Yes, Master Teacher, please do me a favor and give us our food...!"

"You just don't understand why." The teacher said angrily: "How many times have I said this, this matter has nothing to do with our household department yamen. If you can't find Huang Zhigui, just go I'm looking for Huang Tianyi in Yusuo Lake to ask for this batch of food." He turned around and said, "Don't come here to pester me anymore, I'm busy with affairs, I don't have time to pester you." He raised his hand like driving away mosquitoes, "Let's go Let's go, get out of here, if you continue to pester me here, I will really lose my face."

After he said this, he ignored it and was about to enter the yamen. The ghostly old man took two steps forward. In desperation, he had already grabbed the sleeve of the master's robe. The master was surprised, and there were already officers and soldiers beside him. He roared: "Bold." A knife had already slashed towards Guifang old man's shoulder, He Gu saw it from behind, roared angrily, and rushed forward without waiting for the officer and soldier to slash with the sword, he had already caught the officer and soldier He had great strength, after grabbing the officer's wrist, the officer's sword could not be cut off.

"You are so bold, is this going to rebel?" The master has already shaken the old ghost Fang's hand vigorously, "I don't want to eat a toast, and I won't eat or drink as a penalty. I speak nicely to you, but you don't know how to flatter me. How dare you attack me, come here, I have taken them all...!"

All the officers and soldiers have already stepped forward, but the old man Guifang has already clasped his fists and said: "Master, I misunderstood, it was the old man who offended His Excellency in a hurry, not rebellious, please forgive me."

The master sneered coldly, and said: "I have always treated people with benevolence and righteousness, and I will give you one more chance at the end. Now leave here, I will spare you this time, or I will arrest you immediately."

The old man Guifang almost begged: "Master, it's not that the old man doesn't want to go, but he can't. The severe winter is coming, Daqimeng Sixteen Caves, and I can live on this batch of grain. If I leave here, I will wait until the severe winter passes. , Many people will starve to death.”

"If you don't leave, I guarantee that you will die before them all." The master said viciously.

He Gu finally said harshly: "Since you don't take out the food as agreed, then return our things to us."

The master master smiled coldly, pouted his lips, and the officers and soldiers did not hesitate to arrest them. Chu Huan was thinking about whether to step forward. He came to Taiyuan with his identity hidden, hoping to learn more about Taiyuan in secret. In such a situation, if you step forward without authorization, you will have a conflict with the government at this time, and your identity will be exposed early. While hesitating, you can hear a clear and deep voice: "What are you doing here?"

Chu Huan followed the sound, but saw a few horses coming from the opposite side. The first was a brown horse with a crotch, a suit of armor, a square face, a high nose bridge, over forty years of age, and a sense of bravery exuding from all over his body.

When Chu Huan saw this man's armor, he was a little surprised. Chu Huan knew that only one guard commander could wear this armor. If nothing else, the one who suddenly appeared was actually the commander of Anyi Dao Guard.

The power of the Commander of the Guards Army cannot be underestimated.

In the Sixteen Ways of the Great Qin Dynasty, a governor is naturally the highest chief executive, but the governor can only mobilize the imperial guards under his command, but he has no right to mobilize the local guards, and the highest officer of the guards is the commander.

Generally speaking, the prestige of a commander in the hearts of officers and soldiers of the guard army is much higher than that of a governor. The military transfer order signed by the Ministry of War cannot mobilize more than [-] officers and soldiers.

There are actually two giants in each of the sixteen roads of the Qin Dynasty, one is the governor, and the other is the commander. Chu Huan did not expect that he would meet one of the two giants of Anyi Road so soon. Guard Commander.
