It was a quarter to five, dusk.
According to the weather of the past few days, the sky should be filled with red clouds, but today's weather was a little strange. At noon, the sun was still shining brightly, but at dusk, not only was there no sunset glow in the sky, it was also a little gloomy. Thick clouds covered the sky, giving people a very oppressive feeling. However, it did not seem like it was going to rain, because the clouds in the sky were not dark clouds.
Generally speaking, the sky would only turn dark at around seven in this season, but today's abnormal weather caused Taiyuan City to become a little gloomy.
At this moment, a group of people took advantage of the fact that the sky wasn't completely dark. They rode their horses from the post house towards the direction of the city. The people in the lead were a young man and a middle-aged man. Behind them was a group of powerful soldiers. In addition, there were two young men who were walking in the middle of the group.
At this time, most of the people in the city had returned to their homes, so there were not many people on the streets. Therefore, this group of people traveled very quickly. In about fifteen minutes, they arrived at the Provincial Governor's Mansion in the city. The group of people dismounted, and the slightly plump youth in the middle of the group walked to the front. After seeing this, the guards at the entrance of the Provincial Governor's Mansion did not dare to stop them. Instead, they respectfully bowed and said, "Your Highness!"
That's right, this group was Li Tai, Dugu Feiying, Han Tianhu, and Iron Egg. In the past few days, Li Tai had had many dealings with the Provincial Governor's Mansion, so it was not strange that the guards at the entrance knew Li Tai.
"Is Provincial Governor Wang in the government office?"
Li Tai did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Your Highness, Provincial Governor Wang is in the back hall discussing matters with Adjunct Fang. I will go and report to you now!"
The guards at the entrance quickly cupped their fists and replied.
"Oh? Adjunct Fang is also there? That's great! "
Hearing this, Li Tai muttered softly. Then he flicked his sleeves and said, "No need to report! We will go in ourselves! "
With that, he directly walked past the two guards at the entrance and into the courtyard.
When Dugu Feiying, Han Tianhu, and Iron Egg saw this, they quickly followed. As for the two bailiffs, they could only watch as Li Tai and the others entered. Naturally, they did not dare to stop them.
"… This general's men have already searched through all the houses in the city. Those who have weapons from the Chu Ironware Shop have all been brought to the magistrate's office. However, this general heard that the weapons in these people's hands were all made by the Chu Ironware Shop a long time ago. They are not the latest batch!"
"Indeed! In the afternoon, this official ordered the blacksmiths of Chuji Ironware Shop to carefully identify the weapons that were confiscated. Unexpectedly, not a single one of them came from the batch of weapons that the mysterious person behind the scenes ordered! Now, it seems that it's impossible to use those weapons to track down the mysterious person behind the scenes! "
"Then what should we do? Today, we have searched the city wantonly. That mysterious person will definitely be alerted. It will be even more difficult to find him later! Moreover, sealing the city is not a solution. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan City. The people need to eat and live. If the city is sealed for a long time, the people in the city will definitely panic. The daily lives of the people in the city will also be greatly affected! "
"Sigh … How can this official not know what you are saying? His Majesty only gave us seven days to close the case. This official is more anxious than anyone else … "
"Provincial Governor Wang, there is no need to be anxious. This Prince has come to give you a clue!"
When Li Tai walked near the back hall, he happened to hear Fang Gongteng and Wang Liaoyuan discussing today's large-scale search. Hearing this, and seeing that the door was not closed, he directly lifted his feet and walked into the room.
"Your Highness?"
As there was no report, Wang Liaoyuan and Fang Gongteng did not know that Li Tai had come to the Provincial Governor's Mansion. When they saw Li Tai suddenly appear at the door, the two were shocked. Then they hurriedly greeted him and said, "This official (this general) pays his respects to Your Highness!"
