Chapter 46 Analyzing the Situation
"Oops!" Lan Xishu's heart skipped a beat, his face turned cold, and his eyes were distracted by the flickering candlelight.
The temperature in the East Wing room dropped sharply!
"I don't think it's necessarily Sun Buer who has exposed himself!" When Wang Baicao said this, there was no basis and it was purely based on his feelings. Sun Buer has been communicating with all lines in Huyakou for several years. He has a stubborn personality and doesn't talk much. He is an upright person.
The man won Xia Shiyu's trust, and he and Lan Xishu were brothers.
Lan Xishu just shook his head slowly. Wang Baicao was not sure whether Lan Xishu denied his conclusion or had other thoughts. Wang Baicao stopped talking.
"Brother!" Lan Xishu's expression made Lan Xiwen feel that the situation was serious. He didn't see Lan Xishu being so nervous when he encountered the Tatar bandits in Yanchipo. This was not pretended by Lan Xishu.
Lan Xishu still shook his head slowly. It is easy to hide from open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows. This is true. Lan Xishu does this. He is well aware of the pros and cons. If he is not careful, he will be pulled up by the thread and uprooted.
From now on, the intelligence line that has been managed for many years by Hu Yakou will be destroyed in one day, and insiders on the line and even family members who do not know about it will be darkened by others overnight. This kind of cruelty is a hundred times better than fighting on the battlefield.
Wangji Drug Store is the head of the Huyakou intelligence line. Someone has discovered it and is about to take action.
"Who else have you contacted when Sun Buer disappeared? Who has been to Wangji Pharmacy during this period!" Lan Xishu swung his legs off the kang and sat on the chair opposite Wang Baicao. He pushed the teacup and water spilled all over the table.
Wang Baicao's particularity in Huyakou was that he knew about the two lines of Huanxi Liangdian Wansanjin and Fulong Zhima Slam. Although Xia Shiyu explicitly prohibited working independently under any circumstances and not connecting without permission, Lan Xishu was still afraid of Wang Baicao.
Can't hold my breath.
"No one else! In the afternoon when the Tatars invaded, Sun Buer didn't come back as promised. Wan Sanjin from Huanxi Liang Store came to get medicine for his wife! I didn't think anything was wrong. His wife was weak and kept coming here every three days.
Get the medicine."
Wan Sanjin and Fulong Zhimamansuan of Huanxi Liang Store don't know Wang Baicao's true identity. If they know, there must be another channel, which means the dish is bad.
"Thousands of gold?" Lan Xishu shook his head. He would not jump to conclusions and interfere with his thinking.
"There are currently two lines trying to dig us out," Lan Xishu calmed down and started to dig out the cocoon from the big picture. Suddenly, he pondered and changed his words: "It's three lines!"
Lan Xiwen and Wang Baicao frowned in unison and handed over their ears.
"Tatars work carefully, people who speak the vernacular, and Dongchang's threads are also laid to the mouth of the tiger's teeth." Lan Xishu flexed his middle knuckles and pressed hard against the table, making a slight creaking sound.
This is something Wang Baicao could not have imagined!
"Foreign enemies are not to be feared. The Tatars only need to pay close attention to the caravans traveling to and from the border for tea, horse and iron salt transactions. If we also investigate the residents of Huyakou, it will not be difficult to dig out those who are overt and covert!" Time for the Kongming Lantern is a top priority, Lan said.
Xi Shu ranked this matter first, as it was related to national affairs and was much more important than the traitors in the Qing Dynasty.
"Weren't all the Tatars wiped out at Shahekou?" Wang Baicao pressed the edge of the table.
Lan Xiwen opened her mouth several times but no sound came out. Wang Baicao was here, and Lan Xiwen was a little reserved. Otherwise, she would have leaned next to Lan Xishu's ear and asked questions. At this time, Lan Xiwen was full of doubts and it was inconvenient to interrupt, with a small butt
Twisting from time to time on the edge of the Kang.
"Longmen discovered that the Kongming lantern was floating overseas!" Lan Xishu pursed his lips. The sound of footsteps outside came to the door of the east wing. The door rang. In a moment, Sister Zhen pushed the door open and came in. The tray in her hand was steaming. Lan Xishu
Wen quickly got off the kang and stepped forward to help.
Wang Baicao suddenly smiled and stepped away, clinking plates and bowls. Sister Zhen arranged two exquisite side dishes, a plate of salted peanuts with peppercorns, a plate of fried dried tofu, and a can of stewed chicken. As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of meat filled the nostrils. The tray
Lan Xiwen blinked when he saw the three jujube cake steamed buns inside.
Lan Xiwen swallowed and heard the grunting. Lan Xiwen closed her mouth in embarrassment, with a shy face.
She just likes to eat jujube cake!
"Sit down and eat!" Lan Xishu pulled out a square stool from under the table. Sister Zhen put the chopsticks in Lan Xiwen's hand. Lan Xiwen twisted Nini's hand and Lan Xishu pulled her to sit down.
Lan Xiwen wanted to gobble it up, but he couldn't. In front of outsiders, he had better be gentle and earn some face for his brother!
"I made it myself, eat more! I know Xiaoshu likes jujube cake and steamed buns! You will probably like them too!" Sister Zhen smiled sweetly. Lan Xiwen felt that he had been seen through his gentle disguise, and there were two expressions on his face.
Cheeks are on fire.
Lan Xishu picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, then lit the jujube steamed bun in front of Lan Xiwen with his chopsticks: "House! Sister Zhen is the best at steamed jujube steamed buns. Eat more, you are not an outsider!"
oh!
Lan Xiwen responded without raising her head, but still took small bites of the date cake steamed bun. The big red date on the top of the steamed bun was nibbled by her, so she nibbled on the next big red date, without even nibbling on the top of the steamed bun.
Sister Zhen pursed her lips and smiled. Lan Xiwen realized it and continued to nibble on the big red dates on the steamed buns without being moved by the outside world. He was such a character!
"I asked Zhen'er and Liu'er to put the Kongming Lantern on the yellow platform more than ten miles north of the town!" Wang Baicao wondered why Lan Xishu didn't know about it.
"You?" Lan Xishu dropped a piece of chicken liver halfway between his folders. He glanced at Wang Baicao who was embarrassed and Sister Zhen who was smiling inexplicably. Lan Xiwen didn't make a fuss and took the chicken liver that Lan Xishu had dropped.
He picked it up with chopsticks, turned his wrist and put it in his mouth.
Lan Xishu sucked the empty chopsticks, and Lan Xiwen muttered and smiled as if he had picked up a big bargain.
"It was Lao Xia Rang who let him go, don't you know?" Sister Zhen wondered why Lan Xishu didn't know. Xia Shiyu rarely personally intervened in Huyakou. Lan Xishu was directly responsible! Xia Shiyu's every deployment was covered
Lan Xishu participated!
Uh! Lan Xishu understood. He choked on a peanut and coughed. The boss is the boss. In the end, he won the game and took the opportunity to scare away Xu Niang. This indirectly saved himself!
Lan Xishu threw a piece of dried tofu into his mouth and chewed it with his teeth. The boss wanted to beat him when he pushed him to the tiger's mouth. It seemed that the boss still felt that he was too young.
"Don't take it too seriously. You'll know when you get here." Sister Zhen saw Lan Xishu's melancholy expression and couldn't help but comfort him. He didn't understand what Xia Shiyu was doing.
"I understand what you mean! He doesn't want me to be dragged down by Xu Niang's immortality!" Lan Xishu understood Xia Shiyu's good intentions, and there was no need for extra explanations. Lan Xishu simply told Xu Niang's immortality.
perhaps.
Sister Zhen's expression changed. She cared about Xia Shiyu. She always felt that Xia Shiyu was on the border and the danger came from the Tatars in Mobei. She never expected that the interior of Jinyiwei was so complicated and that Xia Shiyu's situation was full of hidden dangers.
"Bai Huawen planted a hidden wire at Huyakou, which is extremely detrimental to adults! Bai Huawen knows that we have wired at Huyakou, but he doesn't know the specific details. I think he will investigate one by one from the Jinyi Guards of the Longmen Station and find out
When he attacked someone who knew Hu Yakou and the boss, Sun Buer was on the edge of a knife."
Lan Xishu clarified his thoughts and raised his eyebrows: "I think the people in Baihua Wen must not have opened a breakthrough from Sun Buer, otherwise they would have taken action earlier. Wangji Drug Store was being followed, and they were just suspicious. I and the house entered
It is very possible that Wangji Drug Store is also being followed."
Wang Baicao suddenly stood up, Sister Zhen clenched her fists nervously, Lan Xishu sighed and continued: "This is not the worst, don't worry, as long as they can't open Sun Buer and the situation is unclear, they
I don’t dare to take action rashly.”
Wang Baicao sat down again and kept stroking his beard.
"Only when we arrived at Huyakou did I realize that Dongchang's tentacles had penetrated right under our noses. We were facing enemies from both sides!"
"Zhi Hakka?" Wang Baicao was also concerned about the sudden appearance of Zhi Hakka. Before he had time to say, "That shopkeeper Liu----"
"He is just a cover, nothing to worry about. I don't know what kind of characters Dongchang has sent here!" Lan Xishu did not carelessly thought that Dongchang's minions were just like hanging windows.
"Nowadays, those who focus on digging for vernacular literature are hard to guard against. The thorn in their hearts must be pulled out first!" Lan Xishu fiercely moved his cheeks, a sharp edge gleaming in his eyes.
The people of Dongchang laid the line at Huyakou in order to obtain intelligence about the enemy. They fought against the Jinyiwei and suppressed the Jinyiwei. Although the political strife was terrible, there was still the overall situation that limited Dongchang. While Dongchang still had not stabilized its footing, Dongchang
He would not uproot Jin Yiwei's detective network in Huyakou, but Bai Huawen was different. He intervened in Huyakou just to exclude Xia Shiyu, and preset Xia Shiyu's death. He had no public conscience. He was purely to exclude dissidents.
