Chen County is a poor county, and the Chen County Magistrate is also a hard work. Especially in recent years, because of the repeated civil rebellions in Chen County, the Chen County Magistrate's location is even more of a fire pit.

In just three or four years, the Chen County Magistrate came to his post like a lantern, seven or eight consecutive times.

No one was willing to take this position, and the court appointed him and had to take office. However, after the new county magistrates took office, they considered not how to manage a county, but to make money go in contact with him. If they tried their best to transfer it from this place, they would rather have some missed children and be demoted to this place.

Being an official is naturally a good thing, but few officials without any money are willing to do it, and they also have to bear the danger of civil unrest and rioting.

Chen Chong, the current Chen County Magistrate, is worried every day.

Although his surname is Chen, he is definitely not from Chen County. After being transferred here, he violated safety reasons. His wife, the old and young, dared not bring her here. Although she wanted to leave this ghost place earlier, her family was not well off and she had no money to open up the joints. She had been here for almost a year.

It was still dawn, and a rapid knock on the door woke Chen Chong up. When he heard the rapid knock on the door, Chen Chong got up from the bed like a conditioned reflex, and didn't care about putting on his clothes. He grabbed the package at the head of the bed, ran to the back window, opened the window, and then turned around and asked in surprise: "Who is it?"

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

When Chen Chong thought of the experience of that colleague, he felt a sudden heart. He always kept the money he saved in a package, and when he was sleeping, he put it on the head of the bed, just waiting for something to happen one day, and took the package to escape.

"Dang Zun, he is a villain." A voice came from outside.

Chen Chong heard that he was the county magistrate who managed the county corps. He breathed a sigh of relief at first, but immediately became nervous: "What should I do when I knock on the door at this time?"

The county magistrate came over 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 of the chaos in the local area, for the sake of safety, the yamen in the county government offices are several times more than that in other county towns. People guard the county government offices day and night to protect the safety of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate had already said outside: "Report to Tang Zun, someone has come to the city. I want Tang Zun to meet him immediately!"

"Come from the city?" Hearing that it was not the people who were violent and moved, Chen Chong was really relieved and kept the package. Then he stepped forward to look at the door: "Who is here at this time? Can you ask what you want to do?"

The county magistrate said: "Sir, it seems to be a high-ranking official. The young man doesn't know it. He just told him to go there quickly. They are waiting in the side hall now!"

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

...

...

Wei Tianqing and Lord Lin were sitting in the side hall of the county government office. Dawn had just begun to appear, and there was already some light in the world.

When Chen Chong came over, he couldn't help but frown when he saw Wei Tianqing and Lord Lin's outfit. Lord Lin was dressed in a merchant dress. Wei Tianqing was even more shabby in clothes, and looked like a civilian. Seeing these two people sitting in the side hall, Chen Chong was angry and came. Before he entered the door, he turned around and glared at the county magistrate and cursed in a low voice: "Do you have bad eyes? Is this the man from the city?"

The county magistrate lowered his head and said, "Dang Zun, when they came in, they showed the 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, so he walked into the door and bowed with a smile: "Chen Chong, the magistrate of Chen County, I wonder what the two adults call me?"

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

"It's right." Chen Chong saw Wei Tian's back and waist, although he was shabby, he had a sense of power. His body was straight, and he couldn't help but bow.

Wei Tianqing said: "I will be the commander of the Imperial Guards!" After saying that, he took out a token from his sleeve and showed it in front of Chen Chong's eyes.

Chen Chong was stunned. Although he and Wei Tianqing had never been masked, they had heard of this name. At this time, Wei Tianqing was in his hand, so Chen Chong naturally would not doubt it, and his expression seemed more humble.

He is a small county magistrate, and Wei Tianqing is the commander of the Xishan Road Imperial Guards and is the confidant of the governor of Xishan Road. The two have a very big gap in their identities. They have a deeper back and are in awe: "The subordinates pay their respects to the Weizheng. I wonder what are the instructions for the Weizheng General? "

Lord Lin didn't speak, just sat beside him and closed his eyes to rest.

Wei Tianqing signaled Chen Chong to sit down. Chen Chong sat down carefully next to him, only half of his butt was placed on the chair, respectfully, thinking of something, and said to the county magistrate in front of the door: "Isn't it... Isn't you going to have tea now!"

The county magistrate hurried to make tea.

Wei Tianqing was born as a martial artist and did things neatly. He asked directly: "Mr. Chen County, you must know the stone yard of Chen County?"

Chen Chong didn't know why Wei Tianqing asked this, but he still said respectfully: "Everyone knows it."

"I ask you, how many stone yards are there in Chen County?"

"This...!" Chen Chong's forehead was covered with sweat, and he thought for a while before saying: "After the words of the master, there are twenty-seven stone fields recorded in the book, including eight large stone fields, five medium stone fields, and fourteen small stone fields."

Wei Tianqing said with a solemn expression: "Are you sure?"

Chen Chong was stunned, but nodded quickly and said, "Xiaoguan...Xiaoguan is sure." He said, "Xiaoguan has archives that specialize in recording the stone yard.Xiaoguan will go and get it now!"

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

Chen Chong hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, please, please!" He thought to himself: "Does Fucheng send someone to investigate the matter of the stone yard?"

Wei Tianqing held the knife and said lightly: "Mr. Chen should lead the way in front!"

Chen Chong did not dare to disobey, and led the way forward, Wei Tianqing followed behind, and Lord Lin had already stood up and followed the last one.

The outer courtyard of the county government office is the sixth house in the county government office. Every day, people will handle each house. However, it was still early today and the people from each house had not come yet. Chen Chong took the two straight to the door of the house. The door of the house was locked, so he went to get the keys again, opened the door of the house, and led Wei Tianqing and the others in.

The room was very dark, and Chen Chong lit the lamp. The texts here were as numerous as cows, but they were not divided into different categories, but they were neat. Chen Chong asked the two of them to sit down first, searched for a while, but found a document and presented it to Wei Tianqing.

Lord Lin didn't speak from beginning to end, and Chen Chong didn't know Lord Lin's background, but since he could be with Wei Tianqing, he must be an ordinary person. He didn't dare to ask, nor did he dare to sit down, bowed and stood beside him, and said carefully: "The Wei-controlled system is the list of major stone yards in Chen County. It records the time of mining of major stone yards and the number of miners, as well as the current statistics of stone yards mined. Tongzhou Ministry of Revenue and Stone Mine Bureau also have such a copy."

Wei Tianqing took advantage of the lights and looked carefully. He locked his eyebrows and handed the document to Lord Lin, saying, "Sir, there is really no record inside." After that, he sneered and glanced at Chen Chong.

Lord Lin flipped around casually, glanced a few times, expressionless, putting the document on the light and causing the fire.

Chen Chong was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Sir, this..."

Before Wei Tianqing could finish his words, he said coldly: "Chen Chong, do you know that if there is a hidden retribution, you cannot afford to bear the guilt. Is this copy really true?"

Seeing Wei Tianqing getting angry, Chen Chong knelt on the ground with a "thump" and said in a trembling voice: "Wei Commander, the lower official... the lower official doesn't know what you mean."

"You kept saying that this list of stone yards records all stone yards, but I think you are lying." Wei Tianqing said coldly: "What did you hide?"

Chen Chong said in a trembling voice: "Two sirs, the officials dare not hide it!"

"Chen Chong, you are so brave. You are still hiding it." Wei Tianqing leaned forward and said sternly: "I ask you, there is a stone yard in the town valley, do you know?"

When Chen Chong heard this, his face turned pale and he kowtowed to the ground, "Sir, the lower officials... the lower officials are aware of their crimes, and the lower officials are aware of their crimes..."

When Lin Daier woke up, she found that it was already dawn and she was lying in a room, even covering herself with a quilt.

Lin Daier was shocked, sat up, lifted the quilt, and found that she was dressed in neat clothes. Even her knife was placed next to her. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head to look and saw Lu Tianyou sitting on a chair, sleeping on the table. An oil lamp on the table was jumping from the lights, and a bright light was already coming out of the window.

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

Lu Tianyou walked around the world with caution and caution. Even when he fell asleep, he was still with one eye open. He woke up when he heard the movement. Seeing Lin Daier sitting beside the bed, he said, "Daier, you are awake."

Lin Daier looked sad and asked, "Where are we?"

"In a town, this is an inn." Lu Tianyou stood up and said, "Are you hungry or not, I'll go find something to eat."

Lin Daier shook her head and asked again: "The stone field...the other side of the stone field..."

Lu Tianyou also looked sad and said, "After they left, I went back, both young and old were taken away, and no one else survived..." At this point, he waved his fists hatefully.

Lin Daier's eyes turned red again, and she closed her eyes darkly.

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

Lin Daier opened her eyes and said in confusion: "Brother Tianyou, what should we do next? Let's rescue them?" As soon as she said that, she smiled bitterly, knowing that it would be impossible to succeed with the power of the two of them alone.

Lu Tianyou also looked solemn and did not speak.

Lin Daier immediately thought of something and said, "Grievance is like blood... We must find him and tear him to pieces."

Lu Tianyou sighed, "Dai'er, if Qiu Ruxue betrays us, it's all my fault. I trust him easily, I... I deserve to die!" Then he clenched his fists and said coldly, "You must find him. If he really betrays us, I must 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 will be destroyed, so we can only find the Taoist sect and let them help us."

Lin Daier raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother Tianyou, we...we don't ask for anything. Go to the capital, wait for the opportunity to assassinate the traitor."

Lu Tianyou pondered slightly and shook his head and said, "Dai'er, I know your mood, but now the blood will be left with you and me. We can only avenge the great revenge of our adoptive father and others. Before we get revenge, we must be careful every step, and we must not act irritably and die in vain." After a pause, he said, "We will find a way to rescue the second uncle and the fifth brother first. With them here, we will discuss the plan together. But if we want to rescue them, we can only go to the Taoist sect to help."

Lin Daier sneered: "When we have a lot of people in the blood community, they have never helped us. Now we are the only ones who are left, and they... will not help us?"

Lu Tianyou said: "You have to try everything."

Lin Daier said: "Even if we want to find them, where can we go? Only Hou Muxin and the second uncle know how to contact them. We... we have no choice but we have no way."

Lu Tianyou thought for a while, came closer and asked in a low voice: "Dai'er, what did you say to you before your adoptive father left? Or what did you leave behind? The adoptive father met with the Heavenly King back then. Did he leave you a clue, but you didn't know?"
