Guo Changwu never imagined that he would return to Jingzhao. Three months ago, he failed to assassinate King Yong Chen Qing at the intersection of Dongjie Street. He successfully escaped from Jingzhao and went to the Kingdom of Jin to defect to Wan Yanchang. He stayed in the Kingdom of Jin for less than a month.
Yue, was sent back to Jingzhao again.
Of course, this time he was carrying out a task assigned by the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin. The Kingdom of Jin even met him in person, gave him two tasks, and promised that as long as he completed any of the tasks, he would be promoted to a noble rank in the Kingdom of Jin and gain glory.
Wealth.
Needless to say, the first task is to assassinate Chen Qing again, but Guo Changwu has been in Jingzhao for ten days, and he can't even see the shadow of Chen Qing. He only found out yesterday that King Yong had moved to the inner palace, and his fleet
He would no longer pass through the busy streets, and when he went out, he would leave the city directly through the north gate of Tai Chi Palace. He would not know it while squatting in the city.
The Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin promised Guo Changwu that if he could assassinate Chen Qing, he would be granted the title of King. However, if he completed the second one, he would be granted the title of Qianhu. There was a big gap. Of course he wanted to complete the first one.
mission, but the reality is here. If he didn't seize the last opportunity, there will be no second chance.
Guo Changwu still lived in an inn outside Dongcheng. This time he pretended to be a scholar rushing for the imperial examination. He lived in the upper room at the back of the second floor. He paid two months' rent at once and gave him enough money.
He received a reward from the man on condition that he could not enter his room and not allow anyone to disturb his study. This time he fully learned the lesson from last time.
In the room, Guo Changwu pulled out his dagger and slowly cut open a wax pill. This was another of his tasks. The Emperor of Jin repeatedly told him that he could cut the wax pill only when the first task was truly impossible to complete.
Guo Changwu was already desperate to assassinate Chen Qing. He had no choice but to carry out the second task. It would be good to seal thousands of households. He could only comfort himself in this way.
Inside the wax pill was a note. He unfolded the note and there was only one sentence on it, 'Assassinate Zhao Chen, the former crown prince of the Song Dynasty!'
Guo Changwu was a little confused. Why did he want to assassinate the former crown prince Zhao Chen? In fact, he did not understand the psychology of the emperor Wanyan Dan of the Jin Kingdom. Wanyan Dan certainly knew that he could not assassinate the Yong King Chen Qing, so he was the only one who assassinated the former prince Zhao Chen.
Your real intention is to give King Yong a return gift.
King Yong Chen Qing sent people to assassinate Hu Shatu, the demon monk of Liao Kingdom. Wanyan Dan also wanted to assassinate an important figure in the Northern Song Dynasty. He chose the former prince Zhao Chen, who was an important chess piece of King Yong. To get rid of this
A chess piece was enough to make King Yong extremely upset.
Wang Hao smiled and said: "General Xiao Zhong doesn't know that Zhao Chen's family was sent back to Jingzhao three months ago."
Zhong Huan nodded, stood up and walked quickly to Wang Hao's official room.
"He only said his surname was Guo, but he refused to say what his specific name was!"
Zhong Huan was startled, "Former Prince Zhao Chen? Then he should go to Bianliang, right?"
Soon he came to the official room, and he bowed and saluted, "For this humble position, please see the capital!"
"No need, I'll come back tomorrow at noon!"
Wang Kuang smiled again and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Guo. I wonder how I can help you?"
"Please give your orders!"
"An assassin from the Jin Kingdom came today and asked us about the residence of the former prince Zhao Chen."
Guo Changwu walked into the lobby and went directly to the shopkeeper. Without saying a word, he opened his palm and found a silver medal in it, which was a token given to him by Wan Yanchang.
The two of them came to the inner courtyard one after another and sat down in the inner hall. Wang Kuang asked, "Are you sent by Wanyan Shangshu?"
Zhong Huan nodded: "What's the assassin's name?"
Wang Kuang pondered for a moment and said: "This information is very unpopular, we have never paid attention to it, so be it! Mr. Guo will come again at noon tomorrow, or Mr. Guo will give us his residence and we will come to your door!"
Then send the information to Yanshan Road, and then send it to Liaodong via Eagle Letter from the Yanshan Road transfer station.
"Shopkeeper Wang, please tell me!"
It's just that Shanzhentang Pharmacy is mainly responsible for collecting public information. It is basically relatively stable and has no risks. The internal guards often provide it with some important public information. Shanzhentang Pharmacy is highly valued by the Jin Kingdom.
Shanzhentang Drug Store was the branch of Pi Xiangyang, Wan Yanchang's intelligence chief, in Jingzhao City. At that time, there was a single line of communication, through seat No. 7 of Xianquan Tea House. After Pi Xiangyang was destroyed, Zhong Huan contacted Lu Mengda in Xianquan through his contact person.
The teahouse was used as bait and three intelligence points were seized in succession, one of which was the Shanzhentang Drug Store.
Wang Kuang went out and stopped a carriage, told the driver the address, and the carriage immediately drove towards West Street.
Guo Changwu was silent for a moment and said: "I would like to know the residence of Zhao Chen, the former prince of the Song Dynasty?"
Wang Kuang smiled again and asked: "What is your name?"
After saying that, Guo Changwu stood up and left.
Wang Kuang sat for a while and then said hello to the waiter, "Look at the store, I'll go out and I'll be back soon!"
He packed up his things and put on a felt hat. He deliberately covered his eyebrows. He had an obvious feature between his eyebrows, and he was worried about being recognized. Fortunately, it happened to be snowing, so he was able to wear a hat to keep warm.
"Former Crown Prince Zhao Chen?"
Zhong Huan returned to the inner guard after three days of leave. He has been promoted to deputy commander and became one of the three commanders under Wang Hao. He was originally responsible for inspecting illegal salt. After he was transferred to Yanshan Road, the affairs of illegal salt
It was handed over to another commander, who currently has no new arrangements.
"Surnamed Guo?"
But Zhong Huan saved a hand and did not touch Shanzhentang Pharmacy, which made Shanzhentang Pharmacy slip through the net. At the same time, he instigated the betrayal of the shopkeeper Wang Kuang. The chief intelligence officer of the Jin Kingdom was Wan Yanchang, so Shanzhentang Pharmacy was
Used by Wan Yanchang again.
Guo Changwu nodded, "That's him!"
At this time, Zhong Huan was sitting in his official room reading files. At this time, a soldier reported at the door, "General Xiao Zhong, everyone has something to look for!"
Wang Hao smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, please introduce me to General Souchong!"
Guo Changwu easily found out that Shanzhentang Pharmacy is an old store that sells medicine and also provides medical consultation. Its true identity is an intelligence station of the Kingdom of Jin. It was only established last year. It no longer involves top-secret information, but collects some important information.
Public information, such as military build-up, war outbreaks, major disasters, etc.
"The surname is Guo!" Guo Changwu cherished his words like gold.
Wang Kuang bowed and saluted, "General Xiao Zhong, long time no see."
The envelope was sealed by King Yong. Zhong Huan was about to open it anxiously when Wang Hao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there is something you need to do now."
The shopkeeper is a Han Chinese named Wang Kuang. He is about forty years old and is a Han drug dealer from Liaodong. He was ordered to open a medicine shop here to collect information. Wang Kuang looked at Guo Changwu for a moment and nodded, "Please follow me!"
He rented an ox cart and soon arrived at Qinzhoumen Street. The street is neither wide nor long, only two miles long. One side is residential and the other side is shops. This is actually a slum area. Everyone knows this.
It is about to be demolished, so private land is very expensive, and the price has risen to 5,000 guan per mu. When Lu Xiu and the others bought the land, the price per acre was 300 guan. In just a few months, it has increased more than ten times. However, the price here is huge.
Part of it is government land. No matter how much the price increases, the government will be the biggest beneficiary.
The soldiers brought up a middle-aged man, who was Wang Kuang, the shopkeeper of Shanzhentang Pharmacy.
Wang Hao immediately said: "Bring it up!"
Guo Changwu nodded, took off his hat and put it on the table. Wang Kuang couldn't help but look at him and saw that he looked very ordinary. The only special thing was that he had a very conspicuous black mole between his eyebrows.
After carefully locking the door, Guo Changwu left the inn and entered the city. Qinzhoumen Street is located southwest of Jingzhao. A west auxiliary city gate is called Qinzhoumen, and the street where the city gate is located is called Qinzhoumen Street.
Wang Hao smiled and handed him an envelope and said: "Your errand is here!"
He couldn't figure it out, but Guo Changwu had to carry out the task to the letter. Before setting off, Wan Yanchang gave him an address, Shanzhentang Pharmacy on Qinzhoumen Street, and repeatedly told him not to do it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Go find this pharmacy.
A name flashed in Zhong Huan's mind like lightning, Guo Changwu.
He asked urgently: "Does this person have a big black mole between his eyebrows with three short hairs on it?"
Wang Kuang nodded, "That's right!"
Zhong Huan clapped his hands and said, "We are really enemies on a narrow road. He is finally back!"
