The first time Zhong Huan saw the man's body, he knew that he had found the assassin's foothold. The poisonous arrows were exactly the same. The man must have discovered his secret and was silenced by him when he escaped.
The assassin obviously escaped in a hurry. There was more than a hundred taels of silver on the bed, a load of medicinal materials brought by a disguised businessman, and a dagger with the name Chang Wu engraved on it.
The name looked so familiar that Zhong Huan thought he had seen it there before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"What's the name he registered in the hotel?" Wang Hao asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper quickly said: "My name is Guo Changwu, from Hejian Mansion!"
Wang Hao frowned, "This is a fake name!"
"No! It should be your real name."
Zhong Huan handed the dagger to Wang Hao, "It has his name on it."
At this time, Zhong Huan was shocked, "Guo Changwu!" He remembered.
"I know who he is. He is not from Hejian Mansion, but from Yanshan Road Country."
........
At noon, Wang Hao and Zhong Huan reported on the latest investigation situation.
"Your Highness, this Guo Changwu is the adopted son of Guo Wei, a wealthy family in Jixian County. He has been training villagers in the manor. He escaped from the roundup of the Guo family because he was not Guo Wei's biological son. He did not take him seriously due to his humble position. Unexpectedly
......."
Zhong Huan's eyes were full of regret. If he had invested more resources at that time, he could still have caught this person, but he was careless.
"It's actually the remnant of the golden dog on Yanshan Road!"
Although Chen Qing was a little surprised, he was not surprised. There were too many people who wanted to kill him. If one day a remnant of Zhang Jun showed up and wanted to kill him, they would be cleaned up.
"Do you know where this person is going?" Chen Qing asked again.
Wang Hao bowed and said: "Before we came here, Wannian County Government told us a new piece of information, saying that someone reported that a man in black had robbed his horse. We calculated the time and it happened that it was Guo Changwu who escaped from the inn not long ago.
He must have snatched the horse and fled eastward. Beizhi has arranged for twenty inner guard cavalry to pursue him eastward, but I am not sure whether he can catch up!"
Chen Qing nodded, "This person is very unprofessional!"
This Guo Changwu committed many taboos of assassins. Assassins who fail to assassinate will hide like snakes, making it impossible to find out his whereabouts. This Guo Changwu actually snatched a horse, which exposed his whereabouts. This shows that he is far away from
He is still far from being a professional assassin.
Wang Hao sighed and said: "Fortunately, he is not professional. If he were professional, he would definitely start at Qingfeng Tea House, and then Your Highness would be in danger."
Chen Qing's face was not very good. He originally wanted to go to the Qingfeng Teahouse on North Street for lunch, but was boycotted by five guys from the Internal Affairs Hall. His own soldiers turned against him and stood with the five political advisors.
I also objected to him going to the teahouse at noon.
Wang Hao added: "Your Highness, although Guo Changwu escaped, his appearance is also a good thing. It reminded us that there are many loopholes in Your Highness's security. We have indeed been careless in the past two years. We will definitely make arrangements for the humble position and there will be no more mistakes."
."
"I see!"
Chen Qing was really helpless. He knew that his freedom as an ordinary person would be completely taken away.
Wang Hao smiled again and said: "If Your Highness likes the rice and tea from Qingfeng Teahouse, you can have them bring it in and arrange a special room with the same decoration. Your Highness and several political ministers can continue drinking tea and chatting. There is no difference."
, it’s just a change of place.”
There was no other way. Chen Qing didn't want to talk about this issue anymore and turned to Zhong Huan: "What is General Zhong going to do next?"
"I must rush back to Yanshan Road immediately and plug all the loopholes!"
Zhong Huan spoke very calmly, but underneath the calmness must be a bloody storm, and he would not let the second Guo Shaowu appear again.

Chen Qing nodded and didn't say anything else. Being kind-hearted and soft-handed can't achieve great things. People who are not of my race will have different hearts. Those wealthy noble families on Yanshan Road are no longer of my race.
"Don't rush back yet. Stay with your family for two more days. In addition, I have a more difficult task for you."
Wang Hao heard that the task was difficult, and looked at Zhong Huan with some worry, but saw his eyes shining. Wang Hao was startled, and then secretly cursed himself for being stupid. Of course, the task assigned by the king should be as difficult as possible, not as difficult as possible.
How to show your abilities.
Wang Hao also knew that King Yong was training Zhong Huan to succeed him, but Zhong Huan's qualifications and experience were still lacking and he would not be in power within five years. In five years, he would be forty years old, so he believed that His Highness would not treat him badly.
Therefore, in recent years, Wang Hao has been cultivating Zhong Huan carefully and did not dare to wear small shoes for him. It is precisely for this reason that although Wang Hao is a bit mediocre, Chen Qing has no idea of replacing him. If Wang Hao is too strong, it will affect the successor.
of cultivation.
Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said: "Yang Qin wrote me a very detailed report. In the report, he mentioned a person, a foreign monk named Hu Shatu, who was making firearms for the Jin Kingdom. Yesterday, the weapons inspection
When it came to this man, he was originally a Sogdian monk from Tianlong Temple in Taiyuan. He was good at grinding medicinal particles. During the Zhenghe period, he was recruited by the Taiyuan Firearms Bureau and worked there for three years. Then he suddenly disappeared. The weapons inspector suspected that he was a spy of the Liao Kingdom, but
There is no evidence and I dare not report it. Now it seems that this person is indeed a spy of the Liao Kingdom. After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, he took refuge in the Jin Kingdom."
Wang Hao thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, this person has been seeking refuge with the Jin Kingdom for more than 20 years. He must be very old. I haven't seen Jin Guo's firearms achieve anything famous for so many years. Do you think he has a false reputation?"
Chen Qing smiled and said: "Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Chang have always been responsible for the firearms of the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom's court has never intervened, and according to the information we have, neither Wanyan Wushu nor Wan Yanchang used them.
Hu Shatu, it means that he has just been appointed. This is what I am worried about. The Jin Dynasty court established the Firearms Bureau and invited the old monk Hu Shatu to preside over the Firearms Bureau. But I know nothing about it. This is what I am worried about.
I'm worried."
Zhong Huan was silent for a moment and said: "Your Highness is worried because the development of firearms in the Kingdom of Jin is out of His Highness's control."
Chen Qing glanced at him approvingly. This Zhonghuan was really smart. He knew the elegant meaning of the string, so he gave it a little thought and he was on his way immediately.
Chen Qing nodded: "You are right. If Wanyan Wushu and Wanyanchang were developing firearms, I would be able to keep track of their progress, but the Firearms Supervisor of the Jin Kingdom has lost control of me. I have no way to understand them now."
progress, the only thing I can do is interrupt their progress, do you understand what I mean?"
"Your Highness, do you mean to let the humble official kill this Hu Shatu?"
Chen Qing said calmly: "This is the difficult task I gave you. I know it is difficult, but if Jin Guo reuses this Hu Shatu, he must be outstanding. He may have developed some secret weapons in the past twenty years."
, kill him, my hanging heart will drop."
Zhong Huan bowed and said: "Your highness will not be disappointed in your humble position!"
