I’m The King Chapter 1115: :Continuing the past and opening up the future (5)

After the meeting came out, it was already the beginning of the night, Zhang Yi and Tang He clasped their hands together, and then hurried to the house, they didn't come back for several months, Zhang Yi really missed his wife Cui Er and his son and daughter, After seeing off Zhang Yi, Tang He turned his head and rushed to the post house set up by the Overwatch Council in the city to receive internal personnel.

After being transferred back from Jishi County, Tang He hadn't found a suitable place to live, so he rushed to Yizhen Research Institute to take charge of the work there. At the time, a few months later, Tang He's family was still living in the post house, which made Tang He feel deeply sorry for his wife and children.

Unlike in Jishi County, where the residences of government officials were all arranged by the county government, in Jicheng, you have to find a place by yourself, and pay for everything you need with your own salary, Qian Tang He is not worried, his salary is very high, and as a senior official of the government, he also has shares in the original Four Seas Trading Company, and the annual dividends are enough to allow his family to live a very good life. But in Jicheng, If you have money, you may not be able to find a suitable house. In addition, Tang He, like Zhang Yi, basically never came back after taking office, and directly left his wife and children in the post house.

Tang He walked to the gate of the post house and saw a room on the second floor that was still lit. He couldn't help but feel guilty. No matter what, he would take some time to solve the problem of the house. .

Stepping on the threshold of the gate, Tang He's heart skipped a beat when he heard the sudden sound of horse hoofs behind him. When he turned around, his pupils shrank involuntarily, and a black surveillance guard was rushing towards him. Before the horse stopped, the other party flew down and ran towards him.

"Master Tang, something has happened!" The visitor said hurriedly.

Tang He pulled back the foot that had already stepped into the threshold without hesitation, snatched the reins of the horse from the hand of the postman at one side, turned on the horse, and galloped away with the visitor, behind him in a window on the second floor There was a child's voice calling for Daddy, Tang He turned sideways on the horse, and waved his hand in the distance.

An hour later, Tang He appeared in a house dedicated to the Overwatch Council in the Yizhen Research Institute. At this time, the house was brightly lit, and the officials stationed here from the Overwatch Council had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Tang, this is Feng Rui, the official of our Oversight Council stationed in Li County, and this is Ji Gao, the patrol captain of Li County."

"I have met Mr. Tang." The two saluted Tang He at the same time.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Tang He was a little agitated in his heart, and he tried his best to calm himself down. Stabilize the mood of these people.

"Master Tang, the thing is like this. Yesterday, when a woodcutter in Li County was cutting firewood in Jiaoshan outside Li County, he found an unowned war horse. The woodcutter took the horse Brought it out from Jiaoshan and handed it over to the Li County Patrol Team, and Captain Ji Gaoji saw the horse and knew that it belonged to the Overwatch Council, so he immediately notified his subordinates!" Feng Rui said: "Jun The war horses in China have numbers, and the war horses of our Overwatch Council also have their own unique symbols."

Tang He nodded.

"After seeing this ownerless horse, the subordinate officials did not dare to be negligent, and immediately tracked down whether this horse belonged to which department of our Oversight Council, and finally found out that this horse belonged to the monitoring guard of the Yizhen Research Institute. The subordinates knew that the matter was of great importance, so they immediately brought Captain Ji to report directly here." Feng Ruidao.

"Have we found anything here?" Tang He turned to look at another official.

"My lord, after Feng He and Captain Ji arrived, we immediately started a thorough investigation, and found that within the past two days, two of our monitoring guards accompanied a researcher from the Yizhen Research Institute to leave here , there were three war horses when we left.”

"What's the name of this researcher, what position does he hold in the research institute? What kind of work is he in charge of? Why did he leave the research institute?" Tang He asked his subordinates like a cannonball.

"This researcher is Mao Wei, a team leader in the Yizhen Research Institute, responsible for developing the control range of explosive explosions. Two days ago, he asked for leave from the research institute because of his father's death. At that time, we equipped him with two The monitoring guards protect his safety. It is now confirmed that the war horse found in Jiao County is the one that Mao Wei rode when he left."

"Three people, three horses, and now there is only one horse left, and the rest are all missing!" Jiaoshan, Li County.”

There were footsteps outside, and Qingyuan appeared at the door, "Master Tang, what happened to Mao Wei?"

Tang He took a deep breath, clasped his fists and bowed to Qing Yuan, "Master Gao, how much does Mao Wei know about our explosives?"

"Mao Wei is the leader of the third group and the backbone of Yizhen Research Institute. He knows everything about explosives in detail, otherwise he would not be asked to do research on the range of explosion control." Qing Yuan explained Mao Wei's type of work to Tang He, and seeing the extremely ugly face of the other party, "Master Tang, Mao Wei will have no problem. Those who work here have been reviewed repeatedly, and Mao Wei graduated from Jicheng Comprehensive University.”

"It's not that he has a problem, but that there is a problem outside." Tang He said a few words through his teeth, "Master Gao, from now on, the Yizhen Research Institute is closed, and no one is allowed to go out , All the construction teams outside stopped construction immediately, and all personnel are waiting for review. In addition, all the situations will be reported to the headquarters immediately.”

After issuing a series of orders, Tang He walked straight out of the house, stepped on his horse, and led nearly a hundred supervisors and guards, and rushed towards Jiaoshan, Lixian County.

At noon on the second day, Tang He appeared in Jiaoshan. Although he did not rest all day and night and his eyes were bloodshot, he still seemed very excited. The hospital branch and the patrol team are blocked.

"Feng Rui, since Mao Wei went back to bury his father, why did he come to Jiaoshan?"

"My lord, it takes about 50 miles to walk along the avenue, and if you cross Jiaoshan Mountain, although the road is not easy to walk, and there are wild beasts infested, it can save you nearly 30 miles. Mao Wei must be in a hurry to go home , and he is surrounded by heavily armed surveillance guards, so he will naturally choose to take this path." Feng Rui explained. "That is the path we are taking now."

Tang He stopped talking, and walked slowly along this narrow path step by step. Half an hour later, Tang He stopped, looked around the surrounding environment, and suddenly squatted down Coming down, he pulled the fallen leaves on the ground with the saber in his hand. Seeing Tang He's actions, Feng Rui and the others quickly followed Tang He's example and pushed aside the thick fallen leaves on the ground.

"Master Tang, blood stains!" After a while, a surveillance guard exclaimed.

The fallen leaves were quickly pulled aside, and under the thick fallen leaves, there was a shocking purple-black bloodstain.

Tang He straightened up, his face darkened, "Take this as the center of the circle and search outward."

The surveillance guards started their work quickly, Feng Rui walked up to Tang He, "Master Tang."

"I'm afraid things are developing in the direction we least want to see. Feng Rui, hurry back to Li County immediately to check the situation at Maowei's house. At the same time, notify the magistrate of Li County, the county soldiers and militiamen in the county immediately. Mobilize me, seal off the whole territory, immediately search for Mao Wei in the whole county, and a portrait of Mao Wei will be sent to Li County immediately.”

"Obey!" Feng Rui also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he turned around and straddled the horse and left.

In less than a stick of incense, there was a loud noise from a distance, and a monitoring guard ran over like flying, "Master Tang, I found out that the bodies of the two brothers and the other two horses, All found."

About 100 meters away from where Tanghe stood, there was a large natural pit, but it was now covered by thick fallen leaves and dead trees. A group of monitoring guards were cleaning up the sundries above. Through the gap, Tang He could clearly see the corpses of two black guard soldiers and the corpses of two war horses lying beside them.

After a while, the bodies of the two soldiers and the bodies of the horses were carried out of the pit. All the personnel, including Tang He, silently took off their helmets and hats, and bowed their heads in silent tribute to the dead brothers.

"My lord, the two brothers were attacked suddenly, and what killed them was the arm crossbow. At least ten arm crossbows shot at them at the same time, which made them have no room to resist!" A monitoring guard who was squatting on the ground to check the cause of death rummaged through the body and reported loudly." Both of them were killed by crossbow arrows piercing through their chests and abdomen, and the horse was also shot dead in the vitals. The other party deliberately set up an ambush here. "

"How could it be a crossbow, isn't this a weapon of our army?" Ji Gao who followed Tang He lost his voice.

Tang He turned his head and glanced at him, "You think too much, my army is fighting outside, and the crossbow is a standard weapon. Over the years, there are not a few who have been lost outside, not to mention, the people of Qin can now imitate us weapons.”

Ji Gao suddenly nodded.

"It seems that the whole thing is a trap, including the death of Mao Wei's father, which is part of the plan." He would take a shortcut to Jiaoshan, the two guards were killed immediately, and the horse that escaped was Mao Wei's horse, and fled after being frightened, and the opponent obviously knew that time was running out, so he didn't go after the horse. A lost war horse, they took Mao Wei and fled directly, and their purpose was to kidnap Mao Wei!"

In front of Tang He's eyes, there seemed to be a scene, Li Xiao's arrow rain shot out from the forest, the two monitoring guards were shot down to the ground without any response, Mao Wei was thrown to the ground by the frightened war horse , a group of men in black rushed out from the forest, tied Mao Wei who had fallen to the ground and carried him away.
