Wei Tianqing and Chu Huan followed Zhao Guangqing to Duan Xun's mansion. The place was already full of soldiers. Although it was late at night, the torches in the hands of the soldiers shone brightly as bright as daytime.

After struggling for a long time, he searched all over the mansion, but there was no useful clue. Zhao Guangqing's face looked extremely ugly from beginning to end, and he seemed both angry and heartbroken.

Without anything they own, Zhao Guangqing had to return disappointed, and searching for Duan Xun all over the city, but he could not find Duan Xun's traces. Zhao Guangqing finally confirmed that Duan Xun was probably really running away.

He knew that this matter was of great importance, so he sent someone to paint a portrait of Duan Xun overnight. Not only did he issue a wanted order in Tongzhou City, but he also sent someone to various parts of Tongzhou to arrest Duan Xun with all his might.

In addition, he wrote two letters of guilt overnight, one sent to the capital, asking the emperor to sue him, and the other was handed over to Wei Tianqing, asking Wei Tianqing to hand it over to the Governor Qiao Mingtang, begging for punishment.

Duan Xun was his subordinate, but he colluded with the bandits, so he naturally still had the crime of misunderstanding.

Wei Tianqing knew that it was no longer possible for him to pursue the matter at this time. After the court and the governor took action, he returned to the camp with Chu Huan. After resting for a day, he left for the city.

Because he brought Zhao Guangqing's letter of apology, Wei Tianqing did not walk slowly with the soldiers, and ordered Pan Fu to lead his army back, while he took Chu Huan and more than a dozen soldiers to return to the city on horseback.

At dusk that day, the group returned to Yunshan City. Wei Tianqing asked Chu Huan to go back first, and he went to the Governor's Mansion. Qiao Mingtang immediately asked him to meet in the study when he learned that Wei Tianqing was back.

As soon as Wei Tianqing entered the study, without waiting for Wei Tianqing to say a word, Qiao Mingtang pointed to the chair next to him and said, "I already know, you sit down and talk first!" He seemed calm and calm.

Wei Tianqing did not continue to do it, and knelt on one knee, blaming himself: "Sir, please punish me!"

Qiao Mingtang had already gotten up, carrying his hands on his back, and did not immediately help Wei Tianqing up. He just walked to the window, looked at a plum blossom outside the window with his hands on his back, pondered for a moment, and said, "Get up and talk!"

There was an irresistible majesty in his voice.

Wei Tianqing stood up, Qiao Mingtang said, "I have received the secret letter from you Fei Ge... Hei Shui Mountain is not sure of knowing, and Duan Xun colluded with bandits...!" He sneered in his mouth and said slowly: "Where are the bandits, where are the weapons, and where are Duan Xun, these are not what I want to know the most now. What I want to know the most now is who leaked the news!"

Wei Tianqing said guiltily: "It's all low-level positions that are not strictly governed..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Qiao Mingtang still looked at the plum blossoms outside the window with his hands on his back: "The people who know about this are besides you and me, Qiao Yin, Pan Fu, Guo Yang... and Chu Huan!"

"yes!"

Qiao Mingtang continued: "I will naturally not have any problems with you." He finally turned around and stared at Wei Tianqing: "Qiao Yin, Pan Fu, Guo Yang, Chu Huan, who do you think of these four people?"

Wei Tianqing hurriedly said, "Sir, they... are all loyal people..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiao Mingtang interrupted: "There must be a traitor among the four people, there is no need to doubt this." He walked to the chair and sat down slowly: "I just want to know now that if you ask you to doubt one of these four people, who is the first person you doubt?"

Wei Tianqing thought for a while and said helplessly: "Sir, I think it may not be that they themselves were interested in leaking the news, but they were afraid there was something else...!"

Qiao Mingtang nodded and said, "I know what you mean. You think these people are loyal and trustworthy. They may not betray us. They may just say something, so they are told by those who are interested and then the news is leaked."

Wei Tianqing nodded and said, "Bizhi thinks this is possible."

Qiao Mingtang's eyes flashed in his eyes and said calmly: "Even if that's the case, he is still a traitor. Even if he is not a traitor, there must be a traitor hidden beside him... Beware of day and night, and it is difficult for a thief to guard against. The most taboo thing for me is that someone stabs me in the back."

Wei Tianqing looked grim, but he didn't say anything.

Qiao Mingtang picked up the teacup on the table next to him, tasted it, and said, "There are ten thousand people in Tongzhou, and it is not as good as a traitor hiding around us. A traitor can quell the rebellion of the people, but an traitor may put me in a desperate situation, so... I will never allow such people around me!" I stared at Wei Tianqing and asked again: "Who is the most suspicious?"

Wei Tianqing thought for a while and finally said, "If one of these four people is a traitor, then many people will doubt Chu Huan!"

"No," Qiao Mingtang said slowly: "The three Qiao Yin and the other two have been tested and followed us for many years... Only Chu Huan, who is a newcomer, and even has unknown origins. If there is a traitor, he will naturally be the first to think of him!"

Wei Tianqing immediately said: "Sir, but Bei Zhi will never believe that Chu Huan is a traitor."

"You and I can't be sure whether Chu Huan is a traitor or not." Qiao Mingtang said: "If I were sure that Chu Huan was really a traitor, he would definitely not be able to return to Yunshan Mansion!"

Wei Tianqing stepped forward and asked softly: "Sir, I wonder what you have?"

"I am still most suspicious of Chu Huan now, but I think Chu Huan is the most unlikely." Qiao Mingtang gently stroked the teacup and said slowly: "If Chu Huan is really a traitor, and if he tried his best to get close to me and you, he would never have made any moves so early. If he was really a hidden knife, he would definitely kill me if he wanted to take action, rather than easily leaking it out of the matter in Tongzhou!"

Wei Tianqing bowed and said, "Sir, wise!"

Qiao Mingtang sighed and said, "Martial Command, I feel a little uneasy now. Just before you come, I am still thinking about whether I should do it once and for all!"

"Once and for all?" Wei Tianqing frowned, not understanding.

Qiao Mingtang said: "Since those four people may be traitors, I have thought about it and I will catch them all in one go. I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go..."

"Sir, never." Wei Tianqing said in shock: "Sir, it's time to use people now. These people are all talents who can stand on their own. It's impossible for them to break their arms."

Qiao Mingtang sighed: "I am clear about this and I have not made up my mind. But you must know that except Chu Huan, the others now hold military power and have considerable prestige and connections in the Imperial Guards. Once there is any change...!" The expression on his face became cold, and he pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The guard commander, this matter is left to you to deal with. You can find out the traitor as soon as possible. I will never allow such nails around me!" Staring at Wei Tianqing, he slowly said: "I know that you value Chu Huan very much, but those who want to do something big cannot have women. If he is really suspicious, I believe you know what to do!"

Wei Tianqing looked solemn and bowed, "I understand!" He took out Zhao Guangqing's apology from his arms and submitted it to him. Qiao Mingtang took it, swept it over, and smiled faintly: "Zhao Guangqing is a re-use of his old tricks. Since this matter has nothing to do with him, the court will only be fined at most, and he will not do anything to him..." Then he shook his head and sighed, "People's hearts are unpredictable. There is a traitor like Duan Xun around him, but I also have such a traitor around me. But he already knows who the traitor is, but I still have no clue..."

...

...

Pang Liu was following Chu Huan to Chu Huan's house at this time. When he saw Chu Huan riding on a horse, he seemed to be thinking about something. Pang Liu didn't dare to disturb him, but just rode his horse quietly to follow him.

Before he knew it, he had already turned to Chu Huan's street, but Chu Huan seemed to be thinking about something.

Chu Huan was indeed thinking about things in her heart.

Things in Tongzhou were still circling in his mind. Although it was finally found out that Duan Xun was a traitor, Chu Huan always felt something was wrong. Many details were fluttering in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things in Tongzhou were very strange.

In addition, he naturally thought of the issue that Qiao Mingtang was most concerned about. Before this military operation, only a few people knew about the plan, but the plan was leaked very early, which shows that there must be traitors in the Imperial Guards.

He knew very well that his suspicion must be the greatest. I'm afraid many people are doubting him now, but Chu Huan knew that if there was a traitor, it would be one of Qiao Yin, Guo Yang and Pan Fu.

He didn't have much contact with these three people, and he didn't know their background, but he couldn't tell who the three people were the real traitors. Or, none of them were traitors, and there were other hidden secrets when the plan was leaked this time?

A noise interrupted Chu Huan's thoughts. He raised his head and saw that he was about to reach his doorstep without realizing it. But he heard a clamor from his home in front of him. Chu Huan frowned and saw two people coming out one after another. The first one was a thin man in black clothes. He looked over thirty years old, holding a package in one hand and holding his head in the other hand. He was very embarrassed. From behind, he was following a woman, twenty-six or seven years old, wearing a purple cotton jacket with heavy makeup, looking very charming. He was running out of the door, but shouting loudly: "Now it is developed, and even his family doesn't recognize him, but I have never seen someone like you... You always have to let us in and talk..."

Hearing a "clang" sound, the door was already tightly closed.

Fat Liu was originally riding on the horse and was sleepy. When he saw this scene, he was very energetic. He immediately stepped forward and shouted: "So bold, who are you? How dare you make trouble in front of the Wei General's Mansion?"

When the man and woman saw Pang Liu wearing armor and swords around her waist, they were all frightened and retreated. The man lowered his head and did not dare to speak. The woman plucked up her courage and said, "Official...Official, we... are not making trouble, we are here... to see relatives..." She seemed very nervous.

Chu Huan was very curious and had already come forward and rode on the horse to look at it. He saw that the man looked very honest, lowered his head and did not dare to look at people. He looked very brave. However, this woman was wearing heavy makeup. Although she was not very beautiful, she was also quite charming, and had a good figure. But looking at her eyebrows, she showed that she was very fierce and looked very nervous. She only looked panicked when facing the fat Liu.
