"Kingzheng?" Chai Yan had never heard of this official name.
Wang Wangzhou said: "The mine is the official responsible for supervising the gold mining of the Youlong tribe. It was established by the imperial court more than a hundred years ago. Later, the gold mines of the Youlong tribe declined day by day, and the mine official became a decoration."
Chai Yan nodded slowly and asked: "I have been in Yaozhou for some time, and I have never heard about the turmoil in the Youlong tribe. I think the turmoil has been put down, right? Has the new gold vein been found?"
Wang Wangzhou said seriously: "Secretary Chai, Commander Gu ordered them to go to the Youlong tribe immediately after coming to Yaozhou. It is said that the turmoil was quickly calmed down after mediation. However, the new gold vein was never found. Later, everyone gradually got to know each other.
So far this is just a rumor, and in fact there is no new gold vein."
"That's it." Chai Yan nodded again.
Suddenly, Chai Yan asked: "Secretary Wang, you said that Commander Gu quickly quelled the civil strife of the Youlong tribe. This was very fast. How long did it take specifically?"
Wang Wangzhou thought for a while and replied: "Well...it took about half a month..."
"Half a month?" Chai Yan touched his chin, frowned and thought: "But Commander Gu asked them to stay in Yaozhou for at least two or three months. What were they doing the rest of the time? Could it be that they were looking for new people?
of gold veins?”
Wang Wangzhou shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Commander Gu and the others live with Situ Zhou most of the time. I'm just a sexton of the Jishi Yamen, so I can't find out anything about Commander Gu."
"It doesn't matter. We don't care whether Commander Gu and the others are looking for new gold veins. The most important thing now is to find Commander Gu, Commander Mos and Miao," Chai Yan said.
"How to find it, Secretary Chai?" Wang Wangzhou didn't know where to start.
Chai Yan asked: "Sir Wang, when Commander Gu sent them to Yaozhou, where did they live?"
"Oh, the inn we stayed in was not far from our Jishi Yamen, but we only stayed for one night. The next morning, Commander Gu led his troops and set off for the Youlong Tribe." Wang Wangzhou replied.
Chai Yan originally wanted to take a look at the place where Commander Gu lived to see if he could get any clues, but when he heard that he only stayed for one night, he gave up the idea.
Then, Chai Yan asked curiously: "Sir Wang, where does this Youlong tribe live?"
"It's in Ganquan County, just southeast of Yaozhou City. It's only a day and a half's journey away. Situ Zhou is the county magistrate there!" Wang Wangzhou said.
Chai Yan thought to himself: It seems I have to take time to go to Ganquan County!
Wang Wangzhou seemed to see what Chai Yan was thinking, and immediately asked: "Sir Chai, do you want to visit Ganquan County?"
"Yes!" Chai Yan did not deny it and said, "I will definitely go. Commander Gu and the others have been active in Ganquan County these days, so I will definitely go there."
Wang Wangzhou immediately handed over his hand and recommended himself: "If you don't mind, Mr. Chai, I am willing to go together! Situ Zhou, the magistrate of Ganquan County, and I have some friendship..."
"Well, when I confirm the departure date, I will let you know!"
Chai Yan readily agreed that it would be easier to do things with someone who was familiar with the local conditions.
"Understood!" Wang Wangzhou responded immediately.
The two of them were eating and talking. Suddenly Chai Yan put down his chopsticks, stared at Wang Wangzhou and said, "Secretary Wang, there is something I wonder if you know about?"
"What's the matter? Mr. Chai, please tell me..." Wang Wangzhou also put down his chopsticks with a very serious look on his face.
Chai Yan frowned slightly and said slowly: "On the way to Yaozhou, I was attacked by people from the Tieshan Gang. I wonder if Secretary Wang knows about this?"
"Tieshan Gang? People from Wei Yuanhu?" Wang Wangzhou was a little surprised and asked doubtfully: "Does Secretary Chai have any enmity with Wei Yuanhu? Why did he send people to attack you?"
Chai Yan shrugged slightly but said nothing.
Wang Wangzhou immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question. Chai Yan had never been to Yaozhou before, so how could he have a grudge against Wei Yuanhu? Wei Yuanhu was not a lunatic, and he had no complaints, so why did he do this?
Wang Wangzhou suddenly understood and blurted out: "I know, Wei Yuanhu was instigated by others!"
Chai Yan nodded slowly.
Wang Wangzhou said solemnly: "Sir Chai, Wei Yuanhu's Tieshan Gang was able to become big in Yaozhou City because of Lang Xiong's support. Wei Yuanhu dared to send people to attack you. He would not dare to disobey unless Lang Xiong personally gave the order."
......."
After a short pause, Wang Wangzhou continued: "In this way, Lang Xiong was afraid of the arrival of Secretary Chai, so he struck first!"
Chai Yan followed these words and said: "Sir Wang, you said that Lang Xiong wants to prevent me from coming to Yaozhou. What are you afraid of?"
"Could it be that he thought that Secretary Chai's visit to Yaozhou was aimed at him?" Wang Wangzhou guessed.
Chai Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Secretary Wang, have you never suspected that the attack on Commander Gu has something to do with Lang Xiong?"
"Lang Xiong?"
Wang Wangzhou was very surprised and thought for a long time before saying: "Sir Chai, this seems unlikely. What is Lang Xiong's purpose for doing this? Although he likes to flatter his superiors and bully his subordinates, even if he is given ten thousand
A leopard is brave, he wouldn’t dare to do this!”
"In that case, can Secretary Wang help find out why Lang Xiong wanted to kill me?" Chai Yan said.
Wang Wangzhou cupped his hands and said: "Secretary Chai, please rest assured, I will investigate this matter as soon as possible!"
"By the way, there's one more thing..." Chai Yan said again.
Wang Wangzhou looked at Chai Yan seriously, wondering what else he was thinking of.
Chai Yan whispered: "Sir Wang, is there any way you can contact the messenger who sent you the letter?"
Chai Yan thought that if he could find the messenger and drop a mantra bean, he would be able to figure out the person who instigated him and save a lot of time.
"Sir Chai, I received that letter almost a month before the Chinese New Year. Since then, the messenger has never appeared again. I really don't know how to contact him!" Wang Wangzhou said truthfully.
Chai Yan waved his hand and said: "It's okay. Since we can't contact you, then I'll think of another way..."
After a while, Chai Yan said: "Sir Wang, please fetch the bloody blue cloth. I want to take another look..."
"Okay, Secretary Chai, wait a minute." Secretary Wang didn't understand what Chai Yan wanted to do, but he still obeyed and took out the blue cloth with Li Yuantang's blood stains on it.
Chai Yan took advantage of the time to observe and secretly asked Shangguan Peining to quietly take a blood sample, and then prepared to leave Wang Wangzhou's home.
When Wang Wangzhou sent Chai Yan to his door, Chai Yan suddenly turned around, took out the IOU from his sleeve, and tore it up in front of Wang Wangzhou.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Sir Wang, originally I thought that if I didn't find anything today, I would use this IOU as a cover to go to the prosecutor's office to find you, but there is no need for it now."
After that, Chai Yan handed the torn IOU to Wang Wangzhou, opened the door and left.
Looking at Chai Yan's leaving figure, Wang Wangzhou's expression was quite solemn.
On the way home, Chai Yan saw that Shangguan Peining had not spoken for a long time, so he asked: "You didn't find anything through Li Yuantang's blood?"
Shangguan Peining said slowly: "No! All that can be sensed are dead objects, and there are no living people with this bloody smell."
Chai Yan was a little disappointed after hearing this. He originally hoped to find the person who killed Li Yuantang through blood samples, but now it seems that this way is not feasible.
