Dutou Wang Jian was indeed a local snake, and he found Zhong Huan that night.
"The low-ranking Jiang Ping the general is looking for has been found. He lives in Sanliu Lane in the south of the city. He is a well-known gangster in the south of the city. He follows a group of people all day long to extort money from shops and makes a living. He has a sister. I heard that
His background is not very good, and he has been adopted by a wealthy man for the past two years. He currently lives with his parents."
Zhong Huan looked at the sky. Not long after it got dark, he said to Wang Jianda: "Find me someone who knows this Jiang Ping, and be stricter. I will arrest this Jiang Ping tonight. Early tomorrow morning, you can find someone who knows Jiang Ping."
Someone pretended to be a creditor and went to Jiang Ping's house to collect the debt, saying that Wang Jian ran away last night to escape the debt."
"I understand the humble position. The general is afraid of striking the grass and alarming the snake."
"That's right!"
"I'll make the arrangements and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Zhong Huan rewarded him with ten taels of silver, and Wang Jianxing left in a hurry.
Sanliu Lane is said to be an alley, but it is actually a very long small street. It was very famous during the Northern Song Dynasty. It was a gathering place for low-income households. Hundreds of low-income households lived in the long street.
The so-called lowly households are men and women who are engaged in pleasing people with their sounds and looks, prostitutes, dancers, singers, musicians, etc.
In brothels, brothels, workshops, restaurants, teahouses, etc., there are a large number of women who use sex to please people. If they are lucky, they will be taken as concubines by rich people and escape from the lowly status. However, most of them will lose their sex as they grow older.
Later, he married a musician, had children, and lived an ordinary life.
However, it was difficult for them to get rid of their low status. However, a turning point came in the fourth year of Shaoxing. Chen Qing, who was then the Xuanfu Envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Province, officially issued an order to abolish the low status in the territories under his jurisdiction and change them to civilian status.
Three years ago, Chen Qing once again issued an order from King Yong to abolish all special household registrations, including the previous lowly registrations, as well as special household registrations such as craftsmen's households, military households, merchants' households, etc., and only two types of household registrations were established.
Civilian citizenship and tribal citizenship.
As the name suggests, the tribes refer to the various ethnic tribes living in Xihe Road, Hexi Road, Lingxia Road and other places. Half of them are autonomous and half are under the jurisdiction of the government, which is quite special.
But not all ethnic minorities have tribal origins. This is not the case. For example, the Sogdians who settled in Jingzhao, the Khitans who lived in Datong Prefecture, etc. They are all based on family units and have not joined any tribes, so they are also
Civilian place of origin.
Therefore, although Sanliu Lane used to be a gathering place for low-income people, it is no longer the case. It is no different from other streets in the city.
At one o'clock in the morning, a drunk man appeared at the intersection. This man was Jiang Ping, who Zhong Huan was looking for. He was in his early twenties. His father was a musician and his mother was a dancer in a studio. His parents raised his sister to be a
A dancer with outstanding talent and beauty, but she didn't care about her son. She dropped out of school after a few years and became a street gangster in her teens.
He didn't have a house of his own, so he lived with his parents. Sometimes he went to restaurants and teahouses to do odd jobs, but most of the time he spent time hanging out on the streets, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, fighting, and extortion. He learned all the bad habits.
Today, he and a few gangsters extorted money from a pub and got two coins. Several gangsters went to drink and went home drunk.
At this time, a carriage stopped next to him. Before he could react, a big bag covered his head. Several men in black dragged him into the carriage, and the carriage drove away immediately.
"Wow!" A bucket of cold water was poured on Jiang Ping's face and body, and Jiang Ping suddenly woke up. He found that his hands were tied behind his back, his feet were also tied, and he was sitting on a chair.
He looked around in horror. More than a dozen sturdy soldiers in armor stared at him with axes and long knives in their hands. His crotch became so hot that he was so scared that he peed.
Zhong Huan shook his head, he was still a street gangster who specialized in fighting, but he was so hopeless that he was scared to death before he even opened his mouth.
"Are you Jiang Ping?" Zhong Huan asked.
Jiang Ping replied tremblingly: "The villain. The villain is exactly that!"
"What's your sister's name?"
"Her name is Jiang Zhuer."
"Is she being kept by someone?"
Jiang Ping nodded, and Zhong Huan asked again: "What is the name of the man who supports her?"
Jiang Ping gradually understood that these people were looking for trouble with the man who supported his sister, not himself.
His fear subsided and he quickly said: "I only know that his surname is Wang, and he is a big fur businessman."
"That's right, Pi Xiangyang's pseudonym is Wang Yang, and his cover identity is that of a fur trader."
"Do you know where this person lives? Where is the store?"
Jiang Ping shook his head, "I have never met anyone else. I only heard a few words from my sister, but she refused to say more."
"You should know where your sister lives!"
"I know, but...but please don't hurt my sister." Jiang Ping was about to cry.
"We are internal guards and will not harm innocent people. Tell me! Where does she live?"
When Jiang Ping heard that he was an internal guard, he did not dare to take any chances and confessed honestly.
That night, Zhong Huan sent two teams of internal guards to hide near Jiang Zhuer's residence and closely monitor her residence.
The next morning, Song Kuan, the temporary director of the intelligence station, was explaining the mission to two of his subordinates. One of the two subordinates was named Liu Kai. In the afternoon, he was going to deliver thirty taels of silver to Jiang Zhuer, the woman in charge. He was also Pi Xiangyang's confidant. Only
He knew where Jiang Zhuer lived, even Song Kuan didn't know.
The other person is Zhou Qing, who is also the backbone of intelligence. He joined the Western Army two years ago. Because of his strong martial arts skills, he was promoted to the head of the capital. He is responsible for collecting intelligence on the Western Army.
Song Kuan said to the two of them: "The general manager received the order from Marshal Du to collect all the information about Iron Fire Thunder. I don't know exactly what to collect, but the general manager gave two instructions in the pigeon letter. One is to win over the good people."
The second one in the county government's Wu Yasi is the army. They want to contact the soldiers who have used iron fire thunder. It is He Laoliu's job to win over the Wu Yasi. They are distant relatives, so Zhou is the one who contacts the soldiers who have used iron fire thunder.
Do you understand the Qing thing?"
"How can I contact someone in a humble position and ask them questions?"
"Don't ask questions for now, just make friends, treat guests to drinks, or go to brothels and gambling houses, whatever you want to arrange. After making friends, wait for the manager to come back and then make arrangements. I estimate that the manager will be back in two or three days."
"I understand the humble position!"
Song Kuan said to Liu Kai again: "You are going to find another residence for your wife today, and tell her not to let anyone know. The manager said that the internal guards have captured the four Lu Mengdas, and they will definitely not be reconciled, so we must be extra cautious.
I’m also going to change my house today.”
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
……….
In the temporary government office, Zhong Huan was asking Wang Jinniu about the composition of the intelligence point. Wang Jinniu had been hired by the internal guards. Zhong Huan also sent people to Yi County in Yanshan Prefecture to bring his family to Taiyuan. Wang Jinniu's status was relatively low.
No one in my family would care, so it was easier to pick him up.
Although Wang Jinniu is only a fourth-level intelligence agent, the lowest level, he still knows some things.
"The leader of the Hebei Intelligence Department is Cui Jiu, Wan Yanchang's military advisor. He is the first-level intelligence chief. Below him are five second-level intelligence chiefs. Pi Xiangyang is one of them, with the highest status. There is also a second-level intelligence chief.
The general manager's name is Song Kuan, and he is Pi Xiangyang's deputy. If Pi Xiangyang is not in Taiyuan, he will be the general manager.
Then there are five third-level supervisor spies under Pi Xiangyang. Lu Mengda is one of them, as well as Liu Kai, He Sheng, Zhou Qing, and Wu Cheng. I know that Wu Cheng is in Jingzhao. Each of these five third-level supervisors has five spies.
His subordinates are the fourth-level spies, and Beizhi is one of them. His previous boss was He Sheng, and he was later transferred to Lu Mengda."
"So, are they all involved in the March 7th case?"
"No! It's just Lu Mengda and his five men. His other two men are handling funeral affairs in Zheng County. You don't seem to have caught them."
"Do their five third-level supervisors all have their own division of labor?"
"There should be! Our team is responsible for investigating business intelligence, Wu Cheng is responsible for Jingzhao, but he seems to have no contact with several of his subordinates, Liu Kai is responsible for managing money and internal affairs, he is Pi Xiangyang's real confidant, and Zhou Qing is responsible for investigating
Regarding the military situation, He Sheng is responsible for contacting the government."
Zhong Huan suddenly stopped writing and frowned, "Responsible for contacting the government, which official?"
Wang Jinniu shook his head, "I don't know the specific humble position!"
Zhong Huan thought for a while and asked, "Do you know all the other subordinates of He Sheng?"
"Of course I know you!"
Zhong Huan nodded. He needed to know which official He Sheng bribed?
