Chapter 59: They are all imperial envoys, Lord Ye is in big trouble (please update)
Under the bright moonlight,
At this time, in the county town, apart from the brothel industry, there were only watchtowers located at various intersections, with red lights on.
Because there are soldiers on duty on all the watchtowers.
This county with a chessboard layout of streets and a bustling city like Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty could keep its doors open at night. In addition to the fact that the people already had money and no need to engage in thievery, it also relied on these soldiers who were on duty at night.
Four soldiers in each watchtower looked in four directions. When all the soldiers in the watchtowers were connected, their field of vision covered all the streets in the county.
They are Yanmen County’s ‘Artificial Skynet’!
With such an artificial skynet, the thieves would lose their jobs, and the flower-picking thieves would not dare to come.
The main function of such artificial skynets in normal times is to control the security of the city in real time, but once a war breaks out, their role completely changes.
As long as they have them, the person in charge can do everything one step faster than the enemy general!
"Look,"
"Who led the horse into the city in the middle of the night? What happened to the general who defended the city, and he let him go at this time?"
"..."
On a street, on the watchtowers at two crossroads, two crossbowmen aimed at Wu Yong's chest and back at the same time.
At the same time, the observer next to him immediately pulled out a long monocular telescope.
"Put it down, it's Mr. Wu who is returning to the county office from the direction of Tianlao."
"Mr. Wu has a horse but doesn't ride it. He walks slowly while holding the horse. It's quite leisurely!"
"..."
The soldiers on the two watchtowers at the front and back all lowered their guard and continued to be on duty.
In fact, Wu Yong knew that he would encounter several such things while walking this way, but he did not even shout to them.
Because he believed that these soldiers who specialized in eating this bowl of rice would never shoot arrows casually.
They have their own set of rules for when to give verbal warnings, when to shoot arrows to deflect warnings, when to shoot limbs, and when to shoot fatal parts.
And the designer of this set of regulations is their greedy and talented Lord Ye!
Wu Yong led the horse and continued walking, recalling in his mind the scene that matched the female spy's complimentary tone.
But now he doesn't just suspect that she is a female spy!
The scene that Wu Yong recalled in his mind was the scene when the industrial park was just built.
At that time, there were not so many business travelers coming to Yanmen County, especially the very powerful wealthy businessmen, there were very few.
In order to establish a supply and marketing cooperative relationship with every business traveler who comes here and let them promote "Made in Yanmen County" to various places, we organize them to inspect.
When they saw that the industrial park's shipments were fast and the quality was superior to products from other places, they gave similar compliments.
"Right!"
"This tone is like an inspection!"
"Are spies from Beiyuan here to investigate?"
"You must know that the Beiyuan spies are more or less aware of the existence of the industrial park. At most, they will be a little shocked after seeing the internal situation!"
"But her tone of voice clearly showed that she was someone she had never heard of before, and her surprise was expressed after suddenly seeing her!"
"It can be heard that they really want to copy the 'industrial assembly line technology' away!"
"Yes, even the Beiyuan spies saw this technology that could be used in military manufacturing and wanted to copy it and take it away!"
"But will they be surprised?"
"You will be shocked, but you will definitely not be surprised. You will be surprised by the enemy's advancement, but absolutely no one will be happy because of the enemy's advancement!"
"If they are not Beiyuan spies, who would still look at our place with an investigative mind?"
"Is he really a wealthy businessman from Yingtian?"
Thinking of this, Wu Yong immediately shook his head and denied this conjecture.
Even if it is a wealthy businessman who is inspecting, he will only be interested in business-related matters, so how can he always rely on the military?
And these people were arrested by the agents as spies because they were always inquiring about the military and their Lord Ye.
From this point alone, we can see that they are definitely not just wealthy businessmen.
Thinking of this, Wu Yong began to think more carefully.
"Other than the Beiyuan spies, who else would be so interested in the military of this county?"
"Aside from the Beiyuan spies, who else would be eager to know what kind of person Mr. Ye is?"
"Except for the Beiyuan spies, who else has been arrested and served as a prisoner of labor reform, and various inspections have not been forgotten?"
"Except for Detective Beiyuan..."
After repeated deliberation, Wu Yong's eyes immediately lit up: "Imperial envoy!"
"By the way, if they are not Beiyuan spies, they must be imperial envoys!"
Thinking of this,
Wu Yong stopped taking a leisurely stroll and got on his horse and started running. He had to tell Ye Qing about this matter quickly.
It's okay that it's the Beiyuan spy. Everything can go according to the original plan.
Either conquer or kill, rough and simple!
But if it is really an imperial envoy, then we will be in big trouble!
Ever since Wu Yong became suspicious of the imperial envoy, it was as if his brain had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and he immediately thought of many details that he had ignored before.
First of all, their roadmaps are written, and they all come from Yingtian.
Of course, it is not difficult for the Beiyuan spies who have been in the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years to get a batch of fake road guides!
But what if these directions are real?
If it's all true, then they are undoubtedly imperial envoys!
It is not impossible for the imperial court to send an imperial envoy to this border city!
Their Lord Ye has been the magistrate for three years and has reached the point where he must either be executed, return home to farm, be re-elected, or be promoted.
At this time, it is very reasonable to send imperial envoys to inspect and inspect all local officials who have expired.
After all, writing a self-evaluation letter is only a small part of the system for officials to pass the exam. The imperial envoys’ inspection tours and unannounced visits are the real main part of the assessment!
Wu Yong didn't dare to think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the more it sounded like an unannounced visit by an imperial envoy.
If the imperial envoy was really taken as a spy and made into a reform-through-labor prisoner, then Mr. Ye would be in serious trouble.
Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Wu Yong's forehead was reflected.
At the gate of the county government office, after Wu Yong got off his horse, he didn't even bother to hand the reins to the doorman's hands and started rushing in.
"Master Wu,"
"Master Ye, I'm afraid he's already asleep!"
Wu Yong said while running: "Even if he is doing something with the girl now, I have to knock on the door."
The doorman looked at Wu Yong running with all his strength and immediately frowned: "Why is it so urgent that you and the girl have to scream to do something?"
County government office,
In the lobby of Ye Qing's exclusive mansion, Ye Qing tore off a calendar with a slight disappointment.
Another day passed by, but the decree granting death still did not come.
He was too lazy to wait anymore, turned around and said to his maid: "Prepare hot water, I want to take a hot bath!"
Chapter completed!
