Since the news of the development of Erzhou was published in the newspapers, almost the entire Qin Dynasty has been discussing this matter.

Those with money are ready to go overseas.

Those who have no money either work as a casualty or as a crew member to earn the salary provided by their employer.

After a few months of traveling, you can start with at least a hundred gold. If you find more wealth, you can add extra money, which is also a big income!

However, the risk of going overseas is also very high. If you are not particularly short of money, you are still willing to farm honestly at home, or find a stable job in a factory!

They are studying how to make money here, but the officials who have just arrived in Minzhong County are not so free.

Even if they knew that there were countless ships heading to Erzhou, they didn't have any thoughts!

All the officials of Minzhong County were suddenly removed and replaced by them to capture the escaped young master Fan!

This is not a good thing.

After they took office one after another, they immediately started investigating.

When the officials who were removed were interrogated, it was discovered that they did not even know when Ying Fan was lost!

Not to mention how he escaped, whether he had any accomplices, and what his escape route was!

It was only after Ying Fan was investigated as a suspect that he discovered that none of the soldiers guarding him were missing!

I searched aimlessly for several days and found no clue at all.

Officials who have just taken office are almost bald. They only sleep for one or two hours a day and spend the rest of the time thinking of solutions.

Your Majesty only gave them ten days. If they can't find anyone, they all have to go home and farm!

When others are transferred, it is a promotion and a good thing.

They transferred, this is a hot potato!

Once they don't get it done, they won't even be able to return to their previous positions and will retire early!

"Hurry...go...faster!"

Fortunately, Huang Tian paid off his hard work. When they were in dire straits, an ordinary farmer went to the yamen to report the case, saying that he had seen the man suspected of being on the wanted order.

At this juncture, no matter what is suspicious or not, you must take a look.

Use a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

The county guard Zhang Chengyang opened the curtain of the carriage and kept urging against the dust thrown up by the galloping horses' hooves.

"Master Zhang, we can't go any faster, otherwise the carriage will fall apart!"

An official on horseback in front heard the sound and responded quickly.

They are now running as fast as they can without any delay at all!

The location reported by the farmers is more than a hundred miles away from the government office. No matter how fast we go, we still have to get there after dark!

"Even if we fall apart, we still have to rush. Your Majesty has given us a limited time, so we must not be delayed on the road!"

Zhang Chengyang wiped the fine beads of sweat on his face with his sleeves and continued urging.

If Ying Fan can be successfully captured this time, it will be okay, and the delay will not be in vain.

If you are afraid that it will be a vain defeat, or that it is not Yingfan at all, this time will be wasted!

"Okay, Master Zhang, then you must sit tight!"

"drive……"

The official responded helplessly, waved his riding whip, and hit the horse's back hard to make the horse work harder.

…

The location reported by the farmer is in a deep mountain.

He also discovered it accidentally when he went hunting in the mountains!

Knowing that the entire Qin Dynasty was offering a reward, and that there was a high reward available, he immediately ran to the government office to report the case!

"Are you sure you've seen the fugitive here?"

After arriving at the destination, the county guard did not dare to stay for a moment, but directly asked the farmers to lead the way, and quietly walked into the mountains under the cover of night.

But after climbing several mountains in succession, there was no light at all. The county guard put his hands on his waist, his face showed exhaustion, and asked out of breath!

Not to mention him, even the officers and soldiers following him were very tired.

After running all the way here, I ate two mouthfuls of dry food and then set off for the mountains. The road was difficult to travel at night, and my iron-clad body couldn't stand it!

Now the county guard just relies on his willpower to hold on, otherwise he would have fallen down long ago!

"Sir, the common people don't dare to lie. We are just over the top of this mountain! Their location is very hidden and can't be found easily. If I hadn't gotten lost while chasing prey, I wouldn't have discovered this place!"

The farmer nodded firmly in assurance.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Zhang Chengyang gritted his teeth, forced himself to move forward, and told the people behind him not to make too much noise.

The wind is strong in spring, and the leaves are whistling, just enough to cover up their movements!

If a large group of them rashly entered the mountains in summer, they would be easily discovered!

Even if Ying Fan is really hiding here, he will probably run away early in the morning!

…

Between the two peaks, a small stream flows slowly.

Not far from the creek, there is a small fenced courtyard. Inside the courtyard is a thatched house, and the house is still lit by candlelight.

Through the window paper, you can clearly see the figures of several men inside!

"Sir, I really didn't expect that Da Qin's magic weapon, the Mao Se Gun, was actually developed by us today!"

A man was holding something like a fire stick and groping back and forth, as if looking at some treasure, with excitement written on his face.

"Show me quickly, I haven't seen it yet!"

"What are you trying to rob? I assembled this, you can talk about it later!"

Before the man's excitement was over, someone came to grab it from next to him. He must have been unwilling and pushed it aside.

"Hmph! Why are you so awesome? It's true that you assembled this gun, but if I hadn't risked my life to carry it back from Longxi, how would you have assembled it?"

The man who was pushed refused to accept it.

You know, guns are the lifeblood of the imperial court and no one is allowed to possess them.

Of course, most people can’t touch it even if they want to, let alone hide it privately!

During these thousands of miles, he didn't dare to get too close to anyone for fear of being discovered!

Even if you want to buy dry food, you have to hide the parts first, then go to the city to buy them, and then carry them on your back and continue on the road.

Not to mention trains and other means of transportation, the speed is indeed fast, but he can't pass the many obstacles at all!

Once he is found to be hiding a gun, his life will be at risk!

It can be seen how he came all the way, and he spent several pairs of shoes!

"Okay, third child and sixth child, please stop arguing. You all contributed a lot to this!"

Seeing that the two people's expressions changed and they were about to start a fight, the man who had been sitting in the main seat quickly spoke to stop them.

He is the exiled Ying Fan.

"We are all in the same boat now, and we have to use our strength in one place! Now that the gun has been assembled, are you still afraid of not touching it?"

"Go back to your subordinates and ask them to take the parts of the gun and send them to various places to find people to build it. Don't let your flaws show!"

"After the first batch of guns are built, we can start the team!"
Chapter completed!
