Chapter 79 Another method
On the way back to the residence, he looked at Tang Feng with some confusion: "Young Master, can you really let the Jurchens confess the truth? Judging from their appearance, they decided to die."
Tang Feng smiled and looked at him: "Since there is no way to let them speak, why can't we try it? And I have another idea. As long as the two can be connected, I think some traitors in Shanhaiguan will have nowhere to hide." As he said that, he took out the jade token of the Jinyiwei who had been hiding from his arms. It was time to use it.
Since he arrived at Shanhaiguan, Tang Feng had never contacted the Jinyiwei. On the one hand, of course, this is because he was afraid that his identity would be discovered and caused unnecessary trouble. After all, just from Zhao Lujiao's performance when he first met him, it can be seen that this person did not like the eunuch party. On the other hand, Tang Feng was deliberately doing it. His purpose of coming here from the capital was to clear the relationship with the eunuch party as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated in time. But if this continues, the people in the capital would also doubt themselves and doubt what he said about the real purpose of coming to Liaodong. Now that he is going to use the Jinyiwei, Tang Feng simply did this matter together.
After following the road out of the military camp, it was a small town, and it was also the only place in Shanhaiguan where ordinary people were located. Shanhaiguan, as the throat of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, laid out tens of thousands of people to prevent the invasion of Mongolia or Jurchens. In this way, there were tens of thousands of people here. Although it was located in Liaodong and was at risk of war at any time, it also had a large market. Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers could not leave their base to spend elsewhere after receiving military pay. So this small
There were merchants coming from all over the city, and the shops they built, including restaurants and brothels. Although the number was not large, it was enough for the soldiers to come and visit in their spare time. The place where Tang Feng was going was because the booklet given to him by Tian Ergeng that said that the person responsible for all the news and orders in Liaodong was in the town called the "Bai Family Old Store". The shopkeeper there was Bai Hao, who was the leader of Jinyiweibu.
When Tang Feng came to the old Bai family store, he found that there were no customers inside. Obviously, this time was the time when the soldiers in the army were practicing, and there were no other customers here, so the inside was empty now, but this was a great opportunity for Tang Feng. Without hesitation, Tang Feng stepped into the hotel with his legs open.
Although this old Bai family store has been in Shanhaiguan for some time, its business is not very good. This makes the tables, chairs, benches and other items inside it look a little old. If it weren't for the important contact point of the Jinyiwei, it would have been closed long ago. At this time, the two waiters were leaning against the counter and chatting without saying a word. When they saw Tang Feng and the others entering the store, they immediately stood up and wanted to go up and greet him enthusiastically.
But Bai Hao, the shopkeeper sitting on the counter, saw the jade plaque hanging on Tang Feng's waist at a glance. When he saw the words engraved on it, he suddenly felt a sudden sound in his heart. Qianhu was already a powerful figure in the Jinyiwei, and he made a lot of contributions but was just a hundred households. Why did such a young Qianhu come to him? This made Bai Hao feel at ease.
After the two waiters greeted each other, Tang Feng sat on the seat and ordered a few more dishes. After looking at the other party, he did not come up to recognize each other after seeing his waist sign. Tang Feng remembered that Tian Ergeng had said that he had to contact the people here and meet their secret code. Otherwise, even if Tian Ergeng came in person, the other party would not reveal his identity. This is a reflection of the strict organization and discipline of the Jinyiwei. Thinking of this, Tang Feng placed a triangle on the table with chopsticks according to his memory, with one of the corners facing the counter.
Bai Hao had been paying attention to Tang Feng's actions. When he saw him suddenly put on this sign, he realized that he was the one who came on order, so he gave the two waiters a wink. The two waiters were also from the Jinyiwei, and they understood at a glance and immediately went over to close the door.
When he found that the light in the house dimmed, his heart tightened when he solved the doubts. His hand touched the short blade in his sleeve. Although he knew that the other party was a subordinate Tang Feng came to find, he still had to be on guard against others. Tang Feng was not at all panicked at this time. He poured a glass of wine and took a sip, waiting for Bai Hao to meet him. After all, he also had the identity of a thousand households, so of course he had to put on the airs of his superiors.
After the door panels were all on and there was no situation inside outside the hotel, Bai Hao walked out of the counter and bowed to Tang Feng and said, "Bai Hao, a hundred households of Xiaguan Jinyiwei, has seen the Qianhu, and I wonder what instructions are there for him to come here?"
Tang Feng looked at the person in front of him carefully. He looked at the nearly forty years old and his thin body was not as thin as a hotel shopkeeper, but from his eyes that occasionally showed a few charms, Tang Feng could still tell that this was a very smart person. After a while, Tang Feng asked: "You are the one who was responsible for contacting and commanding the Jinyiwei in several places in Liaodong? Have you ever received the order from the superiors to send me to command all the power here?" His tone was a little solemn. Tang Feng's current strength was to make the other party completely convinced. In Zhao Lu's sect, he had already experienced the power of the local snake. He didn't want to meet another Zhao Lu in the Jinyiwei, so that he could do something here.
Bai Hao saw that Tang Feng was only over twenty years old, and at first he did not think that he was too great. He just came forward to salute because of his identity. He didn't expect that the other party was the one who replaced him in the instructions he had received before, which surprised Bai Hao. However, he was a person who had been under many tests after all, so he immediately recovered and said calmly: "If you go back to Lord Qianhu, Bei Zhi has received the order and has been waiting for Lord Qianhu to come."
"That's good." Tang Feng nodded slightly, then picked up the wine glass and drank it, without rushing to speak. This invisibly put a lot of pressure on Bai Hao. Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, Bai Hao was a little timid while furious. If the other party did not have a very tough backstage, he would not dare to treat him like this. After all, everything here is still under his control. But if he is really the person he valued, how could he come to Liaodong to suffer?
Before Bai Hao could make a clear judgment, Tang Feng had already continued to speak: "I want you to hand over the methods and personnel for contacting the capital from today to me, and I will contact the adults in the capital. You won't have any objection, right?"
"I..." Bai Hao was about to find some excuses, but found that Tang Feng's eyes were looking at him tightly, obviously he refused to refuse. So after he hesitated slightly, he nodded and agreed: "Since the lord said that, I should obey the order. But these things are quite trivial, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to master them within a day." This was obviously arousing Tang Feng: "I have a deep foundation here."
But Tang Feng was completely unmoved and still said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way. However, you will still do the contact work with other places." When it's time to be strong, you must be strong, but you can't suppress people too ruthlessly. Tang Feng still understands this.
Since the other party said that, Bai Hao certainly didn't dare to say anything else, so he could only hold back his breath. Then he asked, "I wonder if there is anything else that I have to ask a low-level official to do?"
Tang Feng accepted his right to contact the capital to protect himself. The next thing is the real purpose of this. He also smiled: "I wonder how many people our Jinyiwei have in Liaodong? What is their role?"
Bai Hao was already suppressed by Tang Feng's momentum and could only follow his words. When he heard this question, he replied: "Sir, there are 124 Jinyiwei in Liaodong. They are scattered among the cities. There are now 37 people in Shanhaiguan, nearly half of whom are in the army. They are ordered to look at the generals. Once they have any abnormal movements with the Mongolian and Jurchens, we will report them immediately."
"Then the secret spies from Mongolia and Jurchens are not under your jurisdiction?" Tang Feng asked.
"Yes, they are not under the jurisdiction of the humble official, but others." Bai Hao nodded.
Tang Feng continued to ask: "Do you know the situation of some not-so-important guards and the situation of Jurchen spies that may exist in Shanhaiguan now?"
"This... the above order just makes us stare at generals like Zhao Shu Sect, but others are not in our attention. However, if we are given some time, the situation of these people can still be investigated."
"That's great. I want you to check on me from today how many people in Shanhaiguan may be Jurchen spies, and then pass the news to me." Tang Feng immediately became interested and ordered.
"But in this way, I'm afraid we won't be able to stare at Zhao Lujiao and others, and the superiors will blame him..." Before Bai Hao finished speaking, Tang Feng had already interrupted him: "You don't have to worry about this, everything will be handled by me. And you should also be here as my official. If you want to see these people, no one is more useful than me."
"Yes, I obey the order." Bai Hao saw that since the other party said that he was responsible for everything, he naturally would not have any objection: "I just don't know when the adults want those Jurchen spies?"
"Of course, the faster the better. The situation is not optimistic now." Speaking of this, Tang Feng drank all the wine in his glass, "I will come back in three days. I hope you already have some information to hand over to me."
