The supervisor’s follower who was bribed by Wang Hao is called Wu Qun. He is the most inconspicuous and least valued among the fifteen followers. He is also the oldest one. He is already thirty-eight years old this year, and the average age is only more than forty.
The Song Dynasty was not young anymore.
With no house or land, Wu Qun had to rely on his few dollars a month to support his family. His son was already twenty years old, and he had no hope of marrying a wife. Wu Qun was under tremendous pressure.
Wu Qun's weakness was so easy to overcome that Wang Hao gave him one hundred taels of silver and completely bought him over.
In a small teahouse, Wang Hao poured a cup of tea for Wu Qun and said with a smile: "Yesterday I told Dutong about you. He praised you very much and said that as long as you work hard, there will be no problem with your house and land, and your son will get a wife."
It’s also a matter of course.”
Wu Qun quickly clasped his hands to thank him, and Wang Hao smiled and said, "How many years have you been with Mr. Wang?"
"I've had enough of his stinginess for eight whole years!"
Wu Qun sighed and said with anger on his face: "During the Chinese New Year, all my subordinates only gave me ten cents each, and he even called it a reward."
"Mrs. Wang is very rich?"
"He is very rich. There are no eunuchs like them who are not greedy for money."
"Where does his money usually stay?" Wang Hao asked with a smile.
"They're all in Baoji Cabinet."
Wang Hao nodded, "My family is very concerned about how you deliver information. Can you tell me in detail?"
"Of course. Wang Mian has set up an intelligence point in Nanzheng County, Hanzhong. He will send people to Hanzhong, and then the intelligence point will send people to Lin'an. This is what he did in Quanzhou. He set up an intelligence point in Fuzhou.
This avoids the surveillance of local officials, and the effect is very good."
Wang Hao quickly asked: "Where exactly is it in Nanzheng County?"
Wu Qun shook his head, "I don't know about this. I'm afraid not even Su Hui knows about it. Commander Feng Wu is solely responsible for this matter."
After a pause, Wu Qun added, "There may be someone else who knows about this."
"who is it?"
"He is also a follower named Qi Gui. He is a native of Hanzhong. I remember that he accompanied Feng Wu to find a suitable place."
Wang Hao said with great interest: "Then tell me about Qi Gui."
Qi Gui was about 20 years old and a palace guard. He was from Nanzheng County, Hanzhong, so he was favored by the king and followed him to Xihe Road to supervise the army.
He usually had nothing to do. Sometimes he would receive temporary tasks and run errands. The only task he did before was to accompany Feng Wu in looking for intelligence points in Hanzhong.
Qi Gui's family is very well off, and he has not married or had children, so he does not need to earn money to support the family. He has a monthly salary of six dollars, which is basically squandered by him on food, drinking, prostitution and gambling. This is also a bad habit he picked up in Lin'an.
.
Only a few days after arriving in Chengji County, he became a frequent visitor to five brothels in the county. Every day he used to go out to inquire about information, so he hung out in the brothels.
As soon as night fell, Qi Gui came out of the guesthouse happily as usual, called an ox cart and headed to Baihuayuan.
"Damn it, I spent too much money these two days, I need to save a little."
He spent a lot of money every day in the past few days, which really hurt his heart.
He looked outside and suddenly found that the path he usually took was different. He suddenly became a little annoyed and shouted: "Hey! I'm going to Baihuayuan, where are you going?"
The driver turned around and said with a smile: "Let's go to Baihuayuan tomorrow! I'll take you to a more interesting place today."
"wrong!"
Qi Gui immediately realized that something was wrong. The driver's accent was not local.
Just as he was about to jump out of the car, a sharp sword was placed on his neck, "If you move, I'll kill you!"
He didn't even know that there was someone hiding in the bullock cart. Qi Gui raised his hands and didn't dare to move.
The bullock cart speeds south
Qi Gui was brought into a room with a black bag covering his head. Someone took off the covering on his head and cut the ropes on his hands. Qi Gui gently moved his wrist and saw a man in his thirties sitting in the middle of the room.
, extremely strong and tall, with four sturdy men standing on each side.
A big man placed a stool in front of him. The man smiled and said: "Sit down and talk!"
The smile on the other person's face made Qi Gui's fear subside slightly. He sat down and asked, "Who are you?"
The man said calmly: "I am the commander of the Xihe Army Internal Guard Camp. My surname is Wang. I invite you here just to trouble you with a small matter."
Qi Gui suddenly understood, and he quickly said: "I know what you mean, but I really don't know much information. You should ask Su Hui, he is the leader."
"I told you, I just want to trouble you with a small thing."
"You said, if you know, you will definitely cooperate."
Qi Gui is also a well-rounded person. He knows very well that the other party's politeness is just an illusion. If he doesn't know each other and the other party changes his face immediately, he may not be able to save his life. He doesn't want to die.
Wang Hao nodded and winked at the person next to him. One of his subordinates placed three things on the small table in front of Qi Gui. In the middle was a pen and paper, on the left was a glass of poisonous wine, and on the right was an ingot of twenty taels of silver.
"My request is very simple!"
Wang Hao said slowly: "I know that Mr. Wang has an intelligence point in Hanzhong. I want to know its exact location. If you write it down and leave with the money, we won't look for you in the future. If you refuse to write it,
There is a glass of poisoned wine next to you, you can choose it yourself."
Qi Gui sighed inwardly. The other party even found out the secret that he knew the intelligence point, which meant that someone within them had rebelled.
"Okay! I'll just write it."
Anyway, it was not a surrender to the Jurchens, it was just an internal struggle in the Song Dynasty. Qi Gui was not under any pressure. He took up a pen and wrote down the detailed address of the intelligence point. After thinking about it again, he simply wrote down the name of the leader of the intelligence point.
He put down his pen and picked up the silver.
Wang Hao smiled and said: "I like to deal with cheerful people like Guard Qi. Guard Qi probably has something to say! For example, this shopkeeper Tao, what weaknesses does he always have?"
Qi Gui thought for a while and said: "This man is neither lustful nor greedy for money. He is loyal and honest. That's why Mr. Wang uses him. If you want to find his weakness, there is only one, and that is his only son."
"Tell me more details, where is his home?"
Qi Gui hesitated, and Wang Hao's eyes immediately became sharp.
"Does Guard Qi think we are too talkative?"
"No no!"
Qi Gui waved his hands hurriedly, "This shopkeeper Tao regards his son as his life. Where are the others? Where is his son?"
Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction and wrote a few more lines.
Qi Gui asked anxiously: "If there is no problem, can I leave?"
Wang Hao looked at the address he wrote and asked, "Who usually goes to Nanzheng County to deliver letters?"
"It must be Feng Wu's men. They won't make a last-minute decision until the letter is delivered. I'm afraid they will send someone to deliver a letter in the next two days."
"What letter?" Wang Hao asked.
"I heard that it has something to do with Jiedushi appointing puppet Qi officials without authorization."
Wang Hao nodded, "You can go. If you want money, you have to exchange information. You can find me in the outer hall of the inner guard camp on West Street."
After Qi Gui left, Wang Hao immediately asked his best man, Sima Qing, to be found. Not long after, a young internal guard general hurried over, cupping his fists and saying, "Please give me your orders, commander!"
Wang Hao wrote a note and handed it to him, "This is your mission. You immediately lead ten brothers to Nanzheng County, observe carefully, make bold moves, and make no mistakes!"
"Follow the order!"
Sima Qing took the order and left.
At dawn, a cry came from the next door. Lu Xiu could no longer miss her husband's warm embrace, so she got dressed and got up.
Since she became a mother, she rarely gets a good night's sleep. Although a wet nurse watches the baby at night, she will wake up whenever the baby cries. She cannot fall asleep again until the baby calms down again.
"Let me get up too!" Chen Qing also sat up.
"Today is a day off, husband, please sleep a little longer!"
"It's a day off, but I want to go out for a walk and understand some basic current conditions. I have a lot of ideas that need to be implemented one by one."
Lu Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I think the most important thing for a husband is to recruit talents. With talents, you don't need to do many things yourself."
Chen Qing laughed and said, "You're right, talent is the most important thing. I really need to boldly promote some outstanding talents."
Lu Xiu put on her clothes and walked quickly to the next door. When she reached the door, she turned back and said, "The prerequisite is that your husband must appease the supervisor so that he will not target your husband."
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, the supervisor must be full of surprises now."
