He Nan quickly walked out of the house, and a subordinate handed over a pigeon. There was a reed tube on the pigeon's legs. He pulled off the reed tube and took out a thin paper roll from it, opened it and looked carefully. It was Marshal Wanyan Xie who also urged them to speed up contact with senior officials of the Song Dynasty.

He Nan suddenly became nervous. There was no military deployment in the pigeon letter, which means that there might be another passenger pigeon deploying military deployment.

The Jin Kingdom had two detailed works in Bianliang, Tokyo. Originally, there was only He Nan, the intelligence department, and it was also the original Liao Kingdom's intelligence network. They were responsible for collecting intelligence and bribing senior officials of the Song Dynasty.

Three months ago, the Jin army sent more than 100 people to sneak into Tokyo Bianliang. These more than 100 detailed works were not the same as He Nan and were not under the jurisdiction of He Nan. Since they had no place to live at the beginning, He Nan usually passed the message on their behalf.

But the war has been fierce these days, and there must be important information transmission in the military, but he has not received any information from the military. A professional sensitivity tells him that the Jin Kingdom must have sent two carrier pigeons this time. Now the Song army is fully deploying control. It is too dangerous for a carrier pigeon to fly into the city.

"Master He, what should I do now?" a subordinate asked in a low voice.

He Nan made a quick decision and said, "Slaughter this pigeon and throw it into the stove and burn it. No hair is allowed to be left behind!"

"Abide by the order!" His subordinate hurried to the kitchen with a carrier pigeon.

He Nan said to the other two again: "Put the box back to its original place and be careful not to see the traces!"

"Don't Mr. He go out with the box tonight?"

He Nan originally visited an important courtier tonight, but a carrier pigeon disrupted his plan, making him afraid to act rashly these two days.

"Don't worry about so many, put the box back first, go quickly!"

The two subordinates hurriedly went to carry the box again. He Nan thought about it and he had to wipe out all the traces immediately. However, fortunately, the more than 100 military officials did not know about this inn. He was so careful that he only told the contact point of a small grocery store on the other side that he had concealed all other information points, because he was afraid that these guys would ruin their major affairs.

At this time, He Nan suddenly remembered that a letter needed to be burned immediately, and he hurriedly walked towards his room.

The newly established Intelligence Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and is directly under the jurisdiction of Li Gang, who also served as the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Intelligence Department is located in the former old Shangshu Province, which was the military prison where Li Yanqing stayed at that time. After the military prison was dissolved, this building became the library of the Shangshu Province again and is now used by Li Gang as the temporary yamen of the Intelligence Department.

In a house on the second floor of the Intelligence Department, one of the heads was eagerly speaking to Zhang Hu, the military officer: "Brother Hu, I can see it very clearly. It is indeed two pigeons. I don't know if it is a pigeon, but it looks good, and I suspect it is a pigeon."

Zhang Hu glared at him fiercely, "What are you talking about this nonsense now? Will the pigeon stop in the air waiting for you to fly?"

"Brother Hu, you don't know how I do things. If I don't keep some back, I will come?"

Zhang Hu suddenly turned angry and punched Du's head and shoulders, "Why didn't you say it earlier, go quickly! Go quickly!"

Zhang Hu and more than a hundred subordinates came out of the Intelligence Department and sent people to follow the pigeons back. The soldiers said a few words to everyone, but their faces turned dark and could not speak for a long time.

"Why, I'm missing?" Zhang Hu's eyes were sharp and he immediately saw the expression of Dutou.

Everyone smiled bitterly and said, "I lost one."

"Where is another one?" Zhang Hu asked afterwards.

"In the Imperial Academy!"

Zhang Hu was stunned and actually fell into the Imperial Academy. Could it be that he was not a spy in the Jin Kingdom, but a carrier pigeon raised by the Imperial student himself?

Although the pigeon ban warrant was issued five days ago and it was strictly forbidden to release pigeons and eagles in the capital, the pigeon ban warrant was too short and many people might not be willing to obey it. But what made Zhang Hu even more difficult was that there were many young students in the Taixue School, and it was really difficult to go for a large-scale investigation. After thinking about it, he attracted five capable subordinates to whisper a few words. The five bowed and turned and ran towards the Taixue School. Now we can't alarm the snake, so we can touch the bottom first.

Zhang Hu suddenly felt a little reminiscent. There were basically no pigeons in the past five days. Two pigeons suddenly flew over today. There is a great possibility that they were carrier pigeons. I really can't be too careless.

"Where is another pigeon flying?" Zhang Hu asked again.

"One other one flew to the area of ​​Daxiangguo Temple. It was blocked by the temple at that time. When the brothers ran over, they could no longer see it."

Then it should be near Daxiangguo Temple. Zhang Hu scratched his head a little. There were at least a few thousand families there. How to check it?

At this moment, Li Gang hurried over with several followers, "Zhang Guanjun, have you heard you found a carrier pigeon?" Li Gang asked anxiously.

This morning, the official family was still asking about his detailed investigation, which made Li Gang feel extremely stressed. He had not gained anything in the past few days. It was only after he heard a clue today.

"From all aspects of the situation, I also feel that it is a relatively high possibility of a carrier pigeon."

"Have you tracked the landing points of the two carrier pigeons?" Li Gang asked anxiously again.

"One pigeon landed in the Imperial Academy. I have sent someone to investigate secretly. The other pigeon landed in the area of ​​Daxiangguo Temple. I don't know which family is specific."

Li Gang only pondered for a moment and immediately made a decision, "The one in the Imperial Academy continued to explore, and the one in the Daxiangguo Temple immediately launched all the people to search, and there was a huge reward. Whoever found that the pigeon landed was rewarded with a reward of 1,000 guan."

"I understand, but the area around Daxiangguo Temple is too large, so we may be a little short of manpower. If there are more than a thousand soldiers."

Li Gang nodded, "I'll find a way to deal with manpower, you can arrange it first!"

Li Gang went directly to find Li Yanqing. Zhang Hu was once the head of Li Yanqing's personal soldiers and his most trusted subordinate, wouldn't it be more convenient for Zhang Hu to ask for soldiers?

This involves a rule issue. This is not a matter of personal relationships, but a matter of business. Zhang Hu obviously has no qualifications to find Li Yanqing. Instead, it will criticize Li Gang for not understanding the rules and anger Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing was also happy and immediately approved two thousand soldiers to help them investigate the carrier pigeons.

Just one hour after two carrier pigeons flew into the capital, 2,500 soldiers blocked the area of ​​Daxiangguo Temple and began to investigate from house to house. Soon, a family with pigeons was discovered by soldiers. The male owner, together with the pigeon, was invited to the Intelligence Department for trial, and the soldiers were also overturned to the sky.

In less than half an hour, seven families with pigeons had been invited to the Intelligence Department, but their intuition told Zhang Hu that these seven families should have nothing to do with today's pigeons.

"Is anyone getting a bounty?" Zhang Hu asked.

"You have reported to join the army, and no one has received a bounty for the time being."

Zhang Hu was a little disappointed. Didn’t anyone really find the place where this pigeon landed? Or did the pigeon not land in this area?

At this time, Zhang Hu suddenly found an inn lantern hanging in front of an alley. He felt aroused, and his experience told him that the enemy often used inns or restaurants as cover when doing things. He turned his horse's head and led dozens of subordinates to walk into the alley.

"Join the army, it's here!" A soldier pointed at the mottled inn gateway.

"Knock on the door!"

Zhang Hu gave a cold order, and immediately a soldier stepped forward and knocked hard on the door. In just a moment, the dilapidated door opened with a creak.

"You are" He Nan had a sudden strife in his heart and almost turned around and ran away. Is this here to capture himself?

But he was a minister after all, so he asked after a while: "Are you here to stay in a hotel?"

"Stay you!"

A soldier shouted angrily, "Come in and search, go away!"

He Nan moved aside, and a group of soldiers rushed in and headed straight to the backyard. Usually pigeons were kept in the backyard.

But Zhang Hu looked at He Nan and asked, "Your shopkeeper?"

"The villain He Nan is the shopkeeper of this store."

"I heard that your accent doesn't look like a local, but I think it's the accent on the other side of Hebei Road."

"The general is right, the villain is from Zhending Mansion."

“The inn is full?”

"No, there is actually not a single guest."

"Who is that person closing business?" Zhang Hu turned around and looked at the sign that closed business on the door.

He Nan smiled bitterly and said, "There is no business at all now. If you live in a small shop of one or two customers, you will lose money. It is better to close the business and send the friend home."

"How many guys do you have in your store?"

"Originally, there were six, three left, and three left without a place to go, so I stayed in the shop."

There was no loophole in the answer, and Zhang Hu turned over and got out of the horse and went into the backyard. He saw that the backyard was clean and the three guys stood aside with their hands hanging down. He looked at the roof again, and there was no pigeon cage.

One Dutou quickly stepped forward to report: "We have searched and found no suspicious points."

Having said that, Zhang Hu always felt that something was wrong with this inn, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

At this moment, a soldier rushed in and whispered in his ear: "The pigeons from the Imperial Academy have found it!"

Zhang Hu was excited and said to Du: "I'll go to the Imperial Academy, and you can search again."
Chapter completed!
