As soon as Wei Tianqing said, he shook his head and said, "This is unlikely. Zhao Guangqing is a prefecture governor with a high position. He has no reason to let him not be a good official, but he will hook up with the rebellion." He also said, "And in recent years, Zhao Guangqing has always been dedicated to quelling the rebellion. If he is a rebellion, why should he make great efforts to quell the rebellion?"

Lord Lin said lightly: "I don't think it is necessary. What he pacified was the rioters, and they were all mobs. But the rioters are different. The rioters plan carefully and wait for an opportunity to rise, which is not comparable to the rioters."

Wei Tianqing said: "Does the Lord also doubt Zhao Guangqing?"

Lord Lin did not answer, as if he was thinking about something, and then said after a while: "Chu Huan is right. We are going to the city at this time to alert the enemy."

"Sir, what should we do?" Wei Tianqing frowned and said, "Do you want to ask the Governor?"

"It's too late." Lord Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "If there was such a network in Tongzhou, they could hide it until there was no trace of it today. They must be cautious and have a lot of hands and feet. The matters on the Machiya Ishiba will be exposed soon. If the Tongzhou rebels know in advance, things will become troublesome."

"Sir, either we will take Zhao Guangqing directly to interrogate." Wei Tianqing couldn't help but say, "The so-called capturing the king first, as long as the main culprit is taken down, the others will not be worried."

Lord Lin shook his head and said, "Zhao Guangqing is a prefect of a state and a key official in the court. Unless there is enough evidence or the will of the emperor, he must not be moved lightly. Whether Zhao Guangqing is guilty is just speculation now, and there is no evidence. If a member of a party is rashly arrested and spread it, it will inevitably make the officials panic... And at this time, Tongzhou cannot change."

However, there cannot be too much chaos in Tongzhou.

Although the Western Liang army suddenly stopped its offensive momentum, the Western Liang army could still launch an attack at any time.

Yu Buqu built a defense line in the northwest and rectified his arms. The court was also urgently collecting food, grass, weapons and equipment. Tongzhou is the only way to the northwest. Once there is a change, it will inevitably affect the delivery of materials.

Wei Tianqing frowned and said, "What should I do next?"

"Enter the city." Master Lin said: "Silently examine the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. As long as he asks him who is the mastermind, I will know what to do."

Wei Tianqing believed this sentence.

He is not a fool, and of course he can see that Lord Lin is a member of the Divine Yiwei and a senior official of the Divine Yiwei. If such a person takes action, no matter how hard he is to pry open his mouth, the sound of the wind will be revealed.

"The command of the military, you don't have to enter the city for now." Lord Lin said immediately: "I entered the city and took the confession from the Ministry of Revenue Department. If this matter is really related to Zhao Guangqing, you will enter the city immediately and capture Zhao Guangqing. Without further ado, I will leave now."

Wei Tianqing hurriedly said, "Sir, are you going to take risks alone?"

Lord Lin said lightly: "In my eyes, there is no danger." He said confidently, but suddenly thought of something, and said: "But I still need one person to follow me. If there is any change, it is easy to convey the message."

Wei Tianqing immediately said: "I am willing to go there!"

Lord Lin shook his head and said, "Stay here to command the Imperial Guards."

"I am willing to follow the master to go there." Chu Huan finally said.

Lord Lin smiled and said, "Chu Huan, you have to know that there is no danger for me, but it may not be the case for you. Once there is a change, we will enter the tiger's den."

Chu Huan said calmly: "I just want to make some contributions and can be rewarded after I go back."

Lord Lin laughed and said to Wei Tianqing: "As far as I know, there is a valley fifteen miles outside the west city of Tongzhou City, where you can wait." Then he said solemnly: "Chu Huan follows me." He turned around and walked, and got to the side of the horse, and Chu Huan also followed him onto the horse. When the imperial guards saw it, they thought they were going to set off, so they immediately got on the horse. Wei Tianqing had already said in a deep voice: "Don't move."

Everyone was stunned, Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing had already galloped away.

Qiao Yin got off the horse and approached Wei Tianqing, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, where are they going? Why don't we follow?"

Wei Tianqing said, "We have another place to go." He didn't say much.

...

Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing arrived at Tongzhou City at dusk. The city gate was not closed. Lord Lin was dressed in a merchant dress, while Chu Huan was wearing entourage clothes. The two entered the city without attracting anyone's attention.

The city was still very lively. This was Chu Huan's second time to come to Tongzhou City. The two of them did not rush to go directly to the Ministry of Revenue. Instead, they found a small tavern, had a meal in the tavern, and inquired about some situations in the city. It seemed that outsiders had just come to Tongzhou and were very curious about Tongzhou.

The waiter answered questions and asked questions. The two of them had to figure out where the Ministry of Revenue Department’s residence was first. Of course, they could not ask directly. It was clear that most of the officials lived in Dongcheng. When it was dark outside, they went out to Dongcheng.

There are many mansions in Dongcheng, and I really can't figure out the house of the Ministry of Revenue. When I passed by a mansion, I saw that the door of the mansion was closed. Two servants stood in front of the door. Chu Huan turned over and dismounted, bowed and asked with a smile: "Two, is this the mansion of the Ministry of Revenue's Ministry of Revenue's?"

"Are you blind?" A servant raised his hand and pointed at it: "This is Xu's Mansion, the residence of Lord Cao Xu, the Minister of the Ministry of Works."

Chu Huan hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We are foreigners. We came to find Lord Cao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to do something, but we don't know where his mansion is?"

The servants understood that there were so many people looking for officials to do business. They pointed to the back and said, "Mr. Gui's mansion is on the back street, and you can find it once you go."

Chu Huan bowed and thanked him, and then turned his head and left with Lord Lin.

Passing the secluded street, Lord Lin smiled and said, "Chu Huan, you can also consider what I said to you last time. I am willing to give you another chance."

"What is the adults saying?"

"Join the Divine Uniform Guard." Lord Lin whispered: "You seem to be very suitable to be a Divine Uniform Guard."

Chu Huan said: "I will consider it again."

Lord Lin and Chu Huan walked around the back street and passed by the street. They really saw Gui Mansion, but naturally they would not stop. By passing by the door, they saw that the door was closed and there was no one in front of the door.

The two of them circled around the front and back of the Gui Mansion gate, then left quietly, found an inn, and stayed in the inn for more than an hour before leaving the inn, leaving the horses in the inn, and hiked to the east city.

When they arrived in Dongcheng, the night was dark, and the two of them came straight to the backyard of Gui Mansion. The walls of the backyard were built very high, but for Lord Lin and Chu Huan, they easily climbed over the high wall and fell into the yard.

In fact, Gui Mansion is not big, but the front yard is spacious, and there are not many houses in the mansion.

...

...

Cao Guilun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue of Tongzhou, pays great attention to health preservation. In addition to paying great attention to diet, he will go to bed early and get up early without special circumstances. He is only over 40 years old and is in his energy-intensive years, but he rarely gets close to women and cares about his body very much.

Although he has a wife and a concubine, and his concubine is in his youth and has a charming and charming appearance, Gui Lun rarely rests in his wife and concubine's room every month, and he likes to stay in the study.

Others only think that he is quitting women and loves reading, but only Gui Lun himself knows that there are too many important things in the study, and only when he stays here can he feel at ease.

There was silent all over the place, and Gui Lun had already rested. In a daze, he felt a chill in his throat. He had not yet fallen asleep and knew that something was wrong. He didn't know what was the cold thing on his neck, but he felt that as long as he had a slight movement or was about to scream, his throat would probably be cut.

"Your Excellency wants, just speak." Gui Lun calmed down after being shocked, "There are not much gold and silver, there are some antique calligraphy and paintings, and if there are other things, there is nothing valuable."

He knew in his heart that he could sneak into the mansion quietly and even approach him while he was sleeping in a daze. The other party must have great skills. Such a person would most likely be a gentleman on the sidelines.

"I'm disturbing Lord Gui." A faint voice sounded, very light: "I came to find Lord Gui, I just want to ask a few questions."

Lord Lin was sitting on a chair at this time, and the dagger in Chu Huan's hand was placed on Gui Lun's throat.

Gui Lun didn't dare to move, so he could only say, "My life is already in your hands. I will not answer anything I want to ask, but... can I get up and talk."

In the darkness, Lord Lin nodded to Chu Huan. Chu Huan slightly retracted the dagger, Gui Lun sat up slowly, and saw that there were two more people in the room, trying to calm himself down.

Lord Lin leaned on the chair and he was very confident in himself. At this time, he was only three steps away from Gui Lun. Anyone who was ten steps away from him would be under his control, so he was not afraid of Gui Lun making any mistakes. Gui Lun had any abnormal movements, so he could kill this person in the blink of an eye.

"I wonder what advice are you?" Gui Lun sat beside the bed and asked softly.

Lord Lin went straight to the point: "You know that life is in our hands, but I want you to know that sometimes death is not the most painful. I have countless ways to make you more painful than death, so if you have a lie, I believe you will regret coming to this world."

Gui Lun nodded.

"I believe you should know about the Machiya Ishiba." Lin said, "Who else is behind you?"

Gui Lun was stunned and then sighed softly: "I know I can't hide this matter. Actually, I was forced to do it... Hey, since you are here, I'm relieved."

Lord Lin frowned, and Chu Huan was also a little surprised.

Gui Lun said: "The two are probably the best men from the court, right?"

Lord Lin asked back: "What if there is, so what if there is no?"

"The lower officials were forced to violate the laws of the court and were worried day and night, so they had already prepared. The whole story of this matter was written by the officials, and they had already written a memorial and explained it in detail, but they were reluctant to hand it over." Gui Lun sighed lightly: "If the two are from the court, the lower officials will find the memorial, and they will know at a glance."

Chu Huan said lightly: "You'd better not play tricks." He was actually very surprised. He thought it was very difficult to ask Gui Lun for a request, but the facts seemed to be countless times easier than he expected, which made Chu Huan feel different.

However, Gui Lun's performance and tone seemed to be really helpless.

Could it be that this person already knew the incident and so he was looking for self-protection?
