Chapter 78 Creepy

Chu Huan was slightly taken aback. He also guessed that Wei Tianqing's status was not low, but he didn't expect Wei Tianqing's official position to be so high. {Fastest Text Chapter Read}

There are guards in all provinces of the Great Qin Dynasty. The highest military officer in name is the commander, but even the commander cannot easily mobilize the army. Under normal circumstances, the transfer of more than 500 troops requires the transfer order of the Privy Council. However, the highest chief executive and governor has no right to inspect the military affairs of the guard army.

It's just that the governor has a Janissary for mobilization, with no more than 5000 people, who are mainly responsible for guards and protection. Occasionally, there are riots among the people and rampant robbers, and the Janissaries are used to quell the turmoil.

Wei Tianqing holds five thousand imperial guards, which are naturally the governor's most trusted subordinates, and the military power in Wei Tianqing's hands also shows his prominent status in Yunshan Mansion.

Chu Huan was only slightly taken aback, but he didn't show too much surprise, he just smiled and said, "Brother Wei is so high-ranking, it's my brother's blindness!"

Wei Tianqing saw that Chu Huan did not show respect or awe, and he was not surprised by favor or humiliation, and he appreciated it even more in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, no matter what official position your brother is, we are equal and personal friends with you."

Chu Huan smiled and asked: "Brother Wei, as the commander of the imperial guards, has to condescend to come here for a county magistrate. This Hu Zhi County really has face."

Wei Tianqing shook his head and said: "Brother Chu, don't underestimate Qingliu County, you know that Qingliu County is the largest county in Yunshan Prefecture, its jurisdiction is huge, and it is located in an important place for transportation. It is like a cloud, traveling from south to north, quite prosperous, and its status is extraordinary." Picking up the wine glass, he drank a cup and asked, "Brother Chu, do you know that there are five ways of making a living in the world, the most profitable one?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "My little brother is just a grassroots person, and his understanding is superficial, so I ask Big Brother Wei to enlighten me!"

Wei Tianqing stretched out five fingers, and said: "Salt, iron, tea, porcelain, silk...these five kinds of business make a living, and the profits are huge. All these businesses are making money every day!"

Chu Huan frowned, unable to understand, and asked, "Brother Wei, my younger brother is dull, what does this Hu Zhi County... have to do with these five kinds of livelihoods?"

"It's not that he is related, but the position where he sits is very related." Wei Tianqing said: "I'm afraid you also know that there are several iron mines in Qingliu County, which are great wealth. However, Qingliu County is home to several mines, and once it is mined, it will be a source of wealth...!"

Chu Huan seemed to understand, but didn't speak.

"In addition to these minerals, Qingliu County is located on an important road, and there are checkpoints. Once the five-element business travels are in circulation, they will have to pay heavy taxes...!" Wei Tianqing said seriously: "Only for this tariff, Qingliu County has a lot of money every year. A large amount of tax and silver input...!"

Chu Huan seemed to understand something, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wei, what do you mean to say that the purpose of bringing down Huzhi County this time is to get these benefits...!"

Wei Tianqing shook his head and said, "It's not that simple." He paused, as if hesitating, but finally said: "Brother Chu, there are some things I shouldn't have said to you, but I agree with you. You are involved in the case again, if you don't tell you some things, it will be uneasy for brother."

Chu Huan said calmly, "Brother Wei, I'm a lowly official, so it's hard to know too much. If it's inconvenient, it's better not to say anything!"

Wei Tianqing laughed and said: "Brother Chu is indeed free and easy, but you know all these things well. If you are an official, I would not be able to speak frankly to you." He raised his glass and had a drink with Chu Huan. Cai said: "Brother Chu, of the counties below Yunshan Mansion, Qingliu County has the largest territory and should have the most taxes. However, in recent years, Qingliu County has paid the least taxes to the Household Department Department of the prefecture!"

Chu Huan frowned, and said with a sneer: "But as far as I know, Hu Wei has been extorting money in Qingliu County these years... Many people's lives are almost difficult. Does he have the guts to pay all the taxes? In the bag?"

"How dare he have such guts!" Wei Tianqing sneered and said, "If he really did this, let alone the position of the county magistrate, I'm afraid that head would have been chopped off!"

Chu Huan was a little confused, he had never been in the officialdom, and he was not familiar with the complexity of the officialdom for a while.

Wei Tianqing said softly: "Hu Wei will naturally collect some oil and water, but the amount is very small... There are other channels for those taxes to flow to his biggest master!" The hidden dangers of what he said did not fully explain .

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Since you owe taxes repeatedly, why don't you send someone to investigate? Let him run amok here?"

"Brother Chu, how can the Governor not want to eradicate this cancer one day." Wei Tianqing sighed: "It's just that there is a force behind Hu Wei supporting him, and it will not be easy to eradicate him. The governor will not take an opportunity that is sure to hit in one blow!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "So, this time I found an opportunity, so Brother Wei is sure to hit?" He said softly: "Forgive me to be blunt, then Ye Wuzuo must be Brother Wei's person? You won't check it casually like that, and you will be sure that Zhao Bao was stabbed to death with a dagger!"

Chu Huan was always puzzled. He really couldn't figure out why there was a knife wound on Zhao Bao's body.

And he also knew that no matter how stupid Huzhi County was, if he wanted to frame him as a murderer, he would not be so stupid as to use a knife to kill him, otherwise it would be a fatal loophole.

It is absolutely impossible for a person like Hu Zhixian to leave such a loophole.

Wei Tianqing pondered for a while, before saying: "Speaking of which, he is from Zhao Hongwen!"

Zhao Hongwen is Zhao Xiancheng.

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and Chu Huan saw all the clues in the hall. Ye Yuzuo and Zhao Hongwen made eye contact, so they must be the same group.

"Zhao Hongwen is not a simple person. He once held an official position in Beijing, but was demoted due to some incidents. He came to Qingliu County and became the magistrate of Qingliu County. He has no real power under Hu Wei." Wei Tianqing slowly Said: "This person is very tolerant. In fact, he has already taken refuge in the governor's door, and has been staring at Hu Wei here, waiting for the best opportunity!" He stared at Chu Huan and said: "Brother Chu, Lord Lan said before that this time If it wasn't for you, Fan might not be able to bring down Hu Wei, this is definitely not a lie!"

Chu Huan sighed: "But little brother, I don't know what help I have helped so far?"

"Your temperament." Wei Tianqing said with a smile: "Brother Chu is not a human being, he has a straightforward temperament. After you were imprisoned, you beat up the prisoners in the prison. You are really arrogant!"

Chu Huan didn't know what he meant by those words, so he just smiled lightly.

Wei Tianqing immediately said solemnly: "Brother Chu didn't know something. From that moment on, Zhao Hongwen has been following you. He thinks that you will not be wronged, and you will definitely become the most difficult person in Hu Wei's hands... Zhao Hongwen I have already learned from Ye Yuzuo in advance that Zhao Bao was indeed killed by a severe blow to the head, but Ye Wuzuo has judged with certainty that there is a slight time gap between the scars you beat and the fatal punch later. In other words, Zhao Bao definitely did not die at your hands...!"

Chu Huan said: "I think it's because they don't like me in Huzhi County, so they want to put me to death!"

"That's right!" Wei Tianqing said solemnly, "Since Hu Wei has made a move, he will definitely not let you live, and in his opinion, you are a mere grassroots, and it is easy for him to deal with you." Paused After a pause, he said softly: "If it's just ordinary people, Hu Wei probably will be imprisoned unjustly this time, or even die in prison, but this time you are also at the mercy of Su Linlang!"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Little brother knows!"

"Zhao Hongwen knows that since Su Linlang took action this time, Hu Wei will definitely be worried that Fucheng will send people to investigate." Wei Tianqing said slowly: "Hu Wei is afraid that your case will be overturned, so with his temperament, Zhao Hongwen I'm sure Hu Wei will secretly kill you!"

Chu Huan narrowed his eyes and said, "This County Chancellor Zhao really isn't simple."

Wei Tianqing said with a smile: "After all, he was an official in the capital. He has weathered many storms and learned a lot of wisdom. This Zhao Hongwen is indeed not to be underestimated. What I admire even more is that Zhao Hongwen guessed it in advance. Hu Wei may poison and kill people!"

"Sure enough, he is an expert!" Chu Huan sighed again. The person who knows the dark inside story of the Gongmen best is naturally a member of the Gongmen.

"Speaking of which, Zhao Hongwen is not guessing out of thin air." Wei Tianqing sneered: "As far as I know, there have been two or three such incidents in Qingliu County before. Before you, several people have died in the prison Among them, the one reported committed suicide in fear of crime, and people were sent to investigate, but the aftermath was done very well here, and no clues were found!"

Chu Huan frowned, and said softly, "Brother Wei, is the cell boss Zhang Xuan also one of yours?"

Wei Tianqing just smiled lightly and didn't answer directly, but the expression on his face naturally affirmed the question.

"If Zhang Xuan is one of yours, then he must have been involved in the many times that Hu Wei secretly harmed people before." Chu Huan stared at Wei Tianqing and asked: "It stands to reason that you should have had the opportunity to attack Hu Wei long ago. Why wait until today?"

"You're right." Wei Tianqing said: "The key point is that Zhang Xuan is a very important person. But Zhang Xuan was not one of us earlier, he and Hu Wei worked hand in hand, covered up many things, and left no clues at all. Zhang Xuan had no choice but to seek refuge with us. Just two months ago, Zhao Hongwen caught Zhang Xuan's big handle. Once this handle was released, it would be enough to put Zhang Xuan to death. Zhang Xuan had no choice but to be controlled by Zhao Hongwen. , will also make great efforts in the process of bringing down Hu Wei this time!"

Chu Huan nodded and understood: "So that's the case." Thinking of something again, he frowned and said, "Then Zhang Xuan's poisoning this time...is it intentional?"

"It's just a plan!" Wei Tianqing said: "Zhao Hongwen is waiting for Hu Wei to poison, and Hu Wei is not a person of great wisdom. He was actually caught by Zhao Hongwen's information and ordered Zhang Xuan to put it in the food. After poisoning, Zhang Xuan received an order and secretly discussed with Zhao Xiancheng. Hu Wei's shot hit Zhao Hongwen's arms. Zhang Xuan poisoned. It seemed that Hu Wei ordered it, but it was actually Zhao Hongwen's order. Afterwards, use this as an opportunity to overthrow Hu Wei in one fell swoop...!"

Chu Huan said: "So, Zhang Xuan took people to the cell to collect the corpse and physical evidence, just pretending?"

"It's not pretending, he just wanted to keep this physical evidence so as not to be destroyed. It's just that he didn't expect you to stop it... You were very determined to stop it. Zhang Xuan knew the bottom of his heart and got Zhao Hongwen's instigation. Deliberately taking this opportunity to lure Hu Wei into the dungeon, in this way, Hu Wei is equivalent to arriving at the scene of the crime, running to the dungeon in the middle of the night, just in time to realize Hu Wei's ulterior motive...!" Wei Tianqing sighed He said: "At this time, we have already arrived at the county government secretly, and together with Zhao Hongwen, we came out at the right time, it seems to be just in time...!"

When Chu Huan heard this, he felt terrified. Unexpectedly, what happened tonight turned out to be a trap everywhere. Everyone was hiding cunning thoughts. The power struggle was really creepy.

Suddenly, Chu Huan's face became slightly chilly, and he said lightly: "Brother Wei, Zhao Hongwen ordered Zhang Xuan to poison, intending to poison a person and bring down Hu Wei...but the target of his poisoning this time is actually me. .Could it be that he, Zhao Hongwen, planned to poison me from the very beginning, and use my life to overthrow Hu Wei?"

Wei Tianqing smiled wryly and said: "Brother Chu, late last night, after Su Linlang left, I begged the governor for mercy and wanted to rescue you, but the governor put the overall situation first and did not agree." After a pause, continue Said: "Whether you believe it or not, Brother Wei had already made up his mind at that time, even if the Governor-General did not agree to rescue you publicly, Brother Wei would secretly work to help you out of trouble...!" What he said was very true, Chu Huan nodded slightly, believing that Wei Tian Qing should have thought so at the time.

"It's just that I haven't made plans for my brother, but Zhao Hongwen has secretly sent people to Fucheng, saying that Qingliu County has changed, and the time has come... His Excellency Governor received Zhao Hongwen's secret letter, knowing that the opportunity has indeed come, so he immediately changed his mind. We sent Brother Wei and Lord Lan to come together, and we must bring down Hu Wei." Wei Tianqing sighed: "Brother Wei is on the way, and I don't know that Zhao Hongwen has already set such a trap for Hu Wei here, let alone Hu Wei. I don't know that Zhao Hongwen is going to poison Brother Chu...!" When he said this, he had a weird expression, and finally smiled wryly: "Fortunately, auspicious people have their own nature, and by accident, Brother Chu survived... ...As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune, Brother Chu will have a bright future!"

Chu Huan picked up the wine glass, drank it all by himself, put down the wine glass, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Sure enough...!"——
