If the matter is really as the emperor speculated, then someone will definitely be left here to monitor the destruction of Ninggu County officials.

Of course, perhaps the officials of Ninggu County were entrusted with the fact that if the emperor and the others left here, no one would come to investigate.

But for Zhao Chen, everything should be cautious.

There were ruins everywhere in the ruins. After searching for a circle, nothing was found.

Cheng Chumo was a little discouraged and sat aside and complained to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen looked up and looked at the ruins in front of him. He suddenly realized that perhaps the villagers were not prepared at all when they died.

So, no evidence was seen.

"Zhao Da, someone is here." Cheng Chumo suddenly shouted in a low voice with Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen went over and saw a person walking towards him in front of him.

They waved with Cheng Chumo, and the two of them hid behind a stone wall that had not yet collapsed.

The visitor did not find the two, but went straight to the village.

"Zhao Da, who is this guy?" Cheng Chumo couldn't figure it out. Now, besides they would come here, who else would come to such a place.

After all, there are rumors that a plague has occurred here.

Ordinary people must avoid this place.

"Follow him." Zhao Chen said, and followed him far away.

He also felt strange that there must be some reason why the person in front came here.

The two followed the man from afar and soon arrived at a burnt house.

Next to the ruins of the house, there is a newly established tomb.

The soil is fresh.

"Brother Zhang."

The two of them squatted at the wall behind and suddenly heard the man in front shouting at the grave.

Then he knelt heavily in front of the grave with a plop.

"This person knows people from the village." Zhao Chen said.

Because of the news of the plague, no one dared to come here, let alone a new tomb was built here.

If Zhao Chen was right, the tomb should belong to the villagers in the village.

"Is he the one who escaped his life in the village?" Cheng Chumo asked.

Zhao Chen shook his head, but he decided in his heart to take this person away later.

Then he made a gesture with Cheng Chumo, indicating that he would capture the man in front of him with him later.

Cheng Chumo nodded, and then walked around.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry for you."

"If it weren't for me, the villagers wouldn't have suffered such a disaster."

"Brother Zhang, your family will not die because of me." The man knelt on the ground and said to the tomb, his voice full of sobs.

My head kept knocking on the ground, and after a while, my forehead was covered in blood.

"Do you know people in the village?" Zhao Chen's voice suddenly rang.

The man kneeling on the ground trembled all over.

Pulling out the dagger hidden around his waist, the man looked behind him fiercely.

Seeing Zhao Chen so young, the man was stunned, and then pointed his dagger straight at Zhao Chen.

"Ma Zhiyuan's dog is indeed squatting here." The man said coldly.

He waved his dagger and came to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen frowned, turned sideways slightly, and slapped the man's wrist with a palm.

The huge force instantly shocked the man's arm, and the dagger also landed on the ground with a clang.

The man did not expect that the young man in front of him was so skillful, so he decided to rush out from the side.

Cheng Chumo had already surrounded him.

"We are not the governor of Qizhou Ma Zhiyuan." Zhao Chen smiled, picked up the dagger from the ground and handed it to the man in front of him.

The man was frightened and confused, looking at the dagger handed over by Zhao Chen, and was reluctant to reach out to take it.

"We came to Chang'an to investigate the Qizhou riots and received news that a plague had occurred here."

"So come and take a look."

"The tomb in front of you has only been established for seven or eight days."

"Are the people in this tomb the village villagers?" Zhao Chen threw the dagger back to the man and then said slowly.

The man looked at Zhao Chen with some confusion, but the alertness in his eyes did not relax at all.

The dagger in his hand was tightly held, which was the only thing he could bring himself to a sense of security.

"If I were Ma Zhiyuan's people, I could kill you directly."

"Just with your skills, you are not my opponent."

"Besides, if you hope someone can avenge the villagers in the village, tell me the matter."

"If they missed this opportunity, they probably wouldn't have any more trouble." Zhao Chen continued, his face calm.

The man listened to Zhao Chen's words.

He knew that Zhao Chen was telling the truth.

Just now, I obviously attacked first, and with my own skills, it is not a problem to deal with five or six people.

Otherwise, I would not have been able to escape from the numerous encirclements.

But just now, the young man in front of him just turned sideways and flashed his fatal blow.

He even destroyed his own weapons.

The man knew that if the person in front of him wanted to kill him, he would not have to waste time at all.

What's more, there was someone next to him staring at him.

"Who are you? How do I believe you?" The man was still worried and stared at Zhao Chen in front of him.

"Old guy, don't be shameless. We Zhao Da want to help you. You are still chattering here. Believe it or not, Cheng Chumo beat you to death with a punch." Cheng Chumo scolded.

He really felt that the man in front of him was annoyed.

Zhao Chen and himself said that they were here to help him, but the man expressed distrust again and again.

If Zhao Chen wasn't there, Cheng Chumo would have punched him long ago.

"Cheng Chumo?"

"Are you Cheng Chumo?"

"Then are... His Highness of the King of Han?" The man heard Cheng Chumo's name and slowly looked at Zhao Chen.

The man's eyes were full of expectation, and he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab something.

Zhao Chen glared at Cheng Chumo, and nodded expressionlessly afterwards: "I am Zhao Chen, who are you?"

"His Royal Highness of the Han Dynasty, Ma Zhiqing, the commander of the Zhechong Prefecture of Qizhou." The man suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Chen and told him his identity.

"Ma Zhiqing?" Zhao Chen frowned and said, "Who is Ma Zhiyuan you?"

Cheng Chumo also reacted and looked at Ma Zhiqing in front of him with a cold expression.

"Reported to the King of Han, Ma Zhiyuan is his brother, but the lower officials and Ma Zhiyuan are incompatible." Ma Zhiqing and Zhao Chen said, all of his face full of resentment.

Cheng Chumo was staring behind him.

He didn't expect that the person in front of him was Ma Zhiyuan's younger brother.

Zhao Chen waved his hands with Cheng Chumo, and then sat down aside.

"You and Ma Zhiyuan are brothers, why do you appear here again?" Zhao Chen looked at Ma Zhiqing and said lightly.

Hearing Zhao Chen asks himself like this, Ma Zhiqing smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.

He said: "Your Highness the King of Han doesn't know that the old officials had a very good relationship with Ma Zhiyuan in the past."

"The Qizhou riot was planned by us."

"The Qizhou riot you planned?" Cheng Chumo's eyes flashed with surprise.

The entire court believed that the Qizhou riot was a problem for the people of Qizhou.

But unexpectedly, it was planned by officials from Qizhou.
