"What, say it again?"

In the county government office, Zuo Qiuming's eyes were wide open, his chest rose and fell violently, like an enraged monster, and his strength of the fifth level was not reserved at this moment.

The entire county government hall was shrouded in an invisible pressure.

The yamen runners on both sides of the hall were so scared that their bodies trembled slightly, and they lowered their heads one by one, fearing that they would offend the angry Zuo Qiuming above.

"Sir, really"

"On the way to send this batch of weapons to Tianshui County, a group of masked men in black suddenly appeared. It seemed that they had been ambushed there waiting for us. Even if we resisted with all our strength, we were outnumbered in the end. Except for me, none of the escorting officers and soldiers survived! Sir!"

The yamen runner kneeling below was extremely weak at this time, speaking intermittently, his official uniform was covered with blood, and his face was pale.

If it weren't for a few brothers who risked their lives to help him break out of the siege, how could he have had the chance to rush out!

At this moment, after saying this last word, it seemed that he had used up all his strength, and he collapsed, almost lying on the ground.

Zuo Qiuming was like being struck by lightning, his whole body was stiff, and his face was as pale as soil.

"How could this happen?"

In an instant, his whole body seemed to be emptied, and he staggered and fell backwards. Fortunately, the chair behind him did not make a fool of himself in public.

Who did it?

In order to avoid leaking the news, the departure time for transporting this batch of weapons was late at night. Not only that, the transportation route was also confidential.

From what he said, the escort route was leaked.

How could it be possible? Only he and the escorting soldier knew the route.

At this time,

Zuo Qiuming, sitting on the chair, had a dull look in his eyes, as if he had lost his mind.

The day before yesterday, the Yao family sent 4,000 newly made weapons.

Counting these 4,000 pieces, there are only about 3,000 pieces left from the 20,000 pieces ordered by the higher authorities. The remaining time is definitely enough for these weapons.

This made Zuo Qiuming very happy.

Before, he was worried that the Yao family would deliberately cause trouble for him because of the lack of effort in the last incident.

For this reason, he also put pressure on the Pei family, and the original West District belonging to the Yao family was not allowed to move.

It was to appease the Yao family.

However, unexpectedly, the speed of the Yao family's production not only did not decrease, but also delivered 4,000 pieces in advance.

So he immediately said that after the task was completed this time, he would definitely ask for credit for the Yao family.

Even that night, he hosted a banquet for Yao De.

However, he didn't expect that there would be problems on the way to Tianshui County.

Losing such a large number of weapons is a serious crime.

At the least, he would lose his official hat, and at the worst, he would not even be able to keep his head.

And even if he wanted to remedy it, it was too late.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

At this time, Zuo Qiuming was completely panicked. If he didn't handle this matter well, he would really be finished.

"Master Wang!"

As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he hurriedly looked at the middle-aged man standing next to him.

Wang Jinsheng!

As Zuo Qiuming's confidant, the master of the county government, he was second to none in the county government.

Although his heart was like a storm at this moment, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

But at this time, he could only force himself to calm down.

"You go down first!"

After dismissing all the yamen runners in the county government, he said to Zuo Qiuming: "Sir, this matter is of great importance. If it is not handled well..."

"I know, you think about what remedy there is."

At this time, what nonsense is still being said, how can he not know the seriousness of the matter.

But his mind is really messed up now, he has no clue at all, and now the only one he can count on is Wang Jinsheng.

As Zuo Qiuming's think tank, after thinking for a long time, he finally spoke in his expectant eyes.

"First, block the news, including the people who are alive now. This matter must not be known to Tianshui County, otherwise, there will be no chance to remedy it."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zuo Qiuming nodded hurriedly after hearing this, "What else?"

"Second, let the Yao family continue to build, and quickly! Even if they can't make up for these losses, they must rush to build more before the deadline. At that time, even if the higher-ups want to blame, as long as the number is not much different, at most they will blame you for not doing your job well. At that time, if you can smooth it out, the problem will not be big."

After listening to his strategy at this time, Zuo Qiuming was a little calmer.

Loss is a serious crime!

It's easier to say if you don't do your job well. After all, the task of Tianshui County is too heavy and the time is too tight, and you can also make a few arguments.

In addition, as Wang Jinsheng said, when the time comes, smooth it out with the big people above, and make a big deal small. The worst result is that you can't be the county lord of Yunze County.

In the end, there was only blood, but at least his life was saved, not to mention that the Zuo family still had some power in Tianshui County.

That was enough.

"Go, do it yourself, and make sure to do it cleanly. No one who knows about this will be spared!"

Although these yamen runners were innocent, nothing could compare to his life.

At this moment, Zuo Qiuming was full of murderous intent. If it were not for his identity that made it inconvenient to do these things, he would have done it himself long ago.

"Yes! Sir!"

"This matter can only be known by you and me. If there is a third person who knows, you know it!"

Zuo Qiuming's words contained a strong threat.

At this time, Wang Jinsheng's heart trembled when he heard it, so he quickly opened his mouth to express his loyalty, "Don't worry, my life is given by you. I promise that no third person in the world will know about this!"

"Well! Go!"

Wang Jinsheng left the county hall, and a spring breeze blew.

Suddenly, a cool feeling came from his back.

Until now, he felt that his entire back was soaked.

But at this moment, he couldn't care so much.

But many people knew about this, and it would take some effort.

And Zuo Qiuming, who was still in the county hall, still didn't dare to relax at all, and didn't plan to go anywhere.

He had to wait here, waiting for Wang Jinsheng to come back to feel at ease.

Until the evening, Wang Jinsheng's figure finally appeared in the county hall.

The first sentence he said when he saw Zuo Qiuming was "Kill them all"!

At this moment, Zuo Qiuming finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go down!"

For several days, Zuo Qiuming was not in a good condition. He was terrified, afraid that the news would be leaked.

He lost a lot of weight.

Fortunately, these days were calm and there was no abnormality, which made him feel relieved.

But the truth will come out.

Even if Zuo Qiuming killed so many yamen runners to keep it secret, the incident still broke out.

On the tenth day after the weapons were lost, Fengyang County, a hundred kilometers away from Yunze County, fell.

Of course, if that was all, it would be fine.

Yunze County might become the next target of the rebels, but this is not certain, after all, there is another county closer to the rebels.

But the bad thing was that a large number of brand-new weapons suddenly appeared in the rebels besieging Fengyang County, and each of these weapons was engraved with a word "Yun".

This news was reported to Tianshui County by a city guard who escaped from Fengyang County.

After checking, it was learned that the weapons came from Yunze County.

This led to the outbreak of the lost weapons.

Suddenly, someone spread the news that Zuo Qiuming colluded with the righteous army and secretly handed over the weapons handed over to Tianshui County to the righteous army besieging Fengyang County.

Suddenly,

the whole Yunze County was in an uproar!

"Husband, husband"

At this time, in the study of Chen Mansion, Chen Xuan was immersed in cultivation as usual.

Suddenly,

Pei Yuenan's voice came from outside.

And the next moment, without getting his response, she pushed the door open.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan frowned.

He had said before that no one was allowed to disturb him when he was practicing.

However, after seeing Pei Yuenan's panic, he suddenly realized that something big must have happened?

Otherwise, with her character, she should not do such a ridiculous thing.

"What's wrong?"

"Zuo Qiuming colluded with the righteous army, which led to the fall of Fengyang County?"

"What?"

Chen Xuan exclaimed, his eyes widened, shocked.

Zuo Qiuming is the county lord of Yunze County, colluding with the righteous army?

Impossible!

He would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

You know, this is a serious crime that will implicate the entire clan.

"Tell me the whole story in detail." He wanted to know the complete details now.

Then Pei Yuenan told him the news from the Pei family word for word.

At this time,

Chen Xuan came to the armchair, sat down slowly, and fell into deep thought.

And Pei Yuenan on the side did not dare to disturb him.

After a long time, Chen Xuan looked up at her and asked, "Do you think this matter is related to the Yao family?"

"The Yao family? No way!"

Pei Yuenan didn't know why he asked this, but she still disagreed with Chen Xuan's idea in her heart.

Although the weapons were made by the Yao family, the people in the government office were responsible for transporting them.

And this kind of thing is absolutely confidential. The Yao family would not know the specific time and route.

Besides, does the Yao family have the courage to harm Zuo Qiuming?

"I'm just guessing in my heart." Although he said this, his intuition told him that this matter was definitely related to the Yao family.

So he ordered: "Tell my father-in-law to keep a close eye on it, and send it here as soon as there is any news."

"Yes! I have already told my father."

Chen Xuan nodded, and he was relieved that Pei Yuenan was doing things.

"It seems that Yunze County will not be peaceful." Worry appeared on his face.

It is too serious for the head of a county to collaborate with the enemy rebels, but in his opinion, he still does not believe that Zuo Qiuming collaborated with the enemy.

There is absolutely no reason.

This batch of weapons was probably robbed during the escort.

This is also the best result, but even so, Zuo Qiuming's life is hanging, it depends on the strength of the Zuo family behind him.

Or, just treat him as a discarded child! Save the Zuo family!

Three days later,

the news came.

Zuo Qiuming did not collaborate with the enemy, but failed to escort the weapons and was robbed by the rebels.

Chen Xuan looked at the news from the Pei family in his hand and sighed faintly.

"Fortunately, his life is not lost!"
