After Chen Qing listened to Zhong Huan's report, he pondered for a moment and asked: "Do those two businessmen have any subordinates? Or did they come alone?"
Zhong Huan had to admire His Highness King Yong for asking the key in one sentence. He quickly said: "This is also a suspicious place. My men checked Gaosheng Inn and only these two people registered to stay. If there are no cheap rooms in Gaosheng Inn,
It's understandable, but the Gaosheng Inn has very cheap rooms and even a spacious livestock shed. Since I came from Hebei to do business, I have no subordinates, no goods, and no mules and horses. Even if I have them, I live somewhere else.
Very strange."
Wang Hao also agreed: "Your Highness, what General Zhong said makes sense. Merchants value their goods very seriously, and some are even more important than their lives. However, two businessmen live alone in the Gaosheng Inn. It is very unreasonable, and they feel guilty even if they hold a low position."
question."
Chen Qing nodded, picked up the silver bell on the table and rang it twice. The crisp silver bell was heard, and an officer on duty immediately appeared at the door. Chen Qing ordered him: "Go and bring Lu Wei from the Military Department."
I'll find it!"
The Military Department is located on the left wing of Prince Yong's Mansion. It is a newly built building also called Qinglong Tower. The other building on the right wing is called Baihu Hall, which is where the Intelligence Department and Supervision Department are located.
It was already the end of the day's government affairs, and Lu Wei was clearing the table. Later, his boss Guan Shigu invited him and several colleagues to have dinner together. Suddenly someone asked him to go to the Xuanwu Hall. King Yong had something urgent.
When looking for him, Lu Wei did not dare to neglect, said hello to his men, and hurried away.
Not long after, Lu Wei came to Chen Qing's official room, bowed and saluted, "I'm sorry to see you, Your Highness!"
"Let me ask you, what is Lu Jiao doing with you today?"
Lu Wei originally thought that Chen Qing wanted to ask him how he felt about taking up his new position, but he didn't expect it to be the case. He glanced at Wang Hao and Zhong Huan next to him, and immediately realized that something must have happened to Lu Qiao.
"Reporting to your highness, Lu Qiao just came to me to complain. I know he actually came to borrow money. I gave him twenty taels of silver and didn't expect him to pay it back."
"Then what?"
"Then I persuaded him not to continue living like this. I also promised to find a job for him. It just so happened that Beigangcang needed a clerk, and I was going to recommend him for the job."
"Didn't I invite you to go out for a drink or something?" Chen Qing asked quietly.
"Yes! In the end, he invited me to have a drink with him tonight, but Lao Guan wanted to meet me tonight, so he changed it to tomorrow night."
Next to him, Zhong Huan suddenly asked: "The address is the Peony Room of Juxiang Restaurant, right?"
Lu Wei glanced at Zhong Huan in surprise, "How does General Xiao Zhong know?"
Chen Qing said coldly: "Even the inner guards know this, why do you think I'm looking for you?"
Lu Wei came to his senses, "Is there something wrong with Lu Jiao asking me to drink?"
Chen Qing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "Actually, Lu Jiao is not inviting you to drink. Lu Jiao is just trying to guide you. He is introducing the other two people to you. These two people came from Hebei. What are you doing for us?"
I don’t know, but my motives are definitely not pure!”
"Then just find an excuse not to take up your humble position."
"No! That's not what I meant."
Chen Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are going, and you have to pretend to be old friends at first sight. If the other party tests you, you just climb up their pole. I don't need to teach you this, but I need to know that businessmen from Hebei are looking for
What is the intention of the Military Department Sima? The internal guards will cooperate with you, General Xiaozhong, you must go all out on this matter."
"I understand the humble position!"
Chen Qing said solemnly to several people: "Why do I take this matter seriously? Because these two people came from Daming Mansion on Hebei Road. Daming Mansion is the location of the Marshal's Mansion, the capital of the Jin Kingdom. I suspect that they were probably sent by Wan Yanchang. We just
How could Wan Yanchang not react after taking down Datong Mansion?"
Daming Mansion on Hebei Road. Daming Mansion was the capital of the Song Dynasty. It was also the political, military and economic center of Hebei Road. The city was built tall, solid and magnificent. It has always been the center of the rule of the Jin Kingdom in Hebei.
The Marshal's Mansion is the largest building complex in Daming City, covering an area of a hundred acres. Currently, Wan Yanchang's official offices and residences are located here.
In the lobby, Wan Yanchang was listening to the report from Zhong Tan who had joined the army. They had just received a pigeon letter from Jingzhao City.
"Wang Shuang and Xie Hua have found a breakthrough. They met Lu Datong's son Lu Jiao"
"Who is Lu Jiao?" Wanyan Helisa, who was sitting nearby, interrupted Zhong Tan's report.
Wanyanchang waved his hand to signal Wanyanhelisa to calm down, and then said to Zhong Tan: "Keep talking!"
Zhong Tan continued: "Lu Jiao is greedy and stupid, and is willing to be used by us. But Wang, Zhou's target is Lu Wei, the commander of the military department. All the warehouses of the Western Army are under his control. They are still fighting step by step.
Communicate with Lu Wei and don’t dare to act too hastily.”
Wan Yanchang nodded and praised: "Well done, reply to them, don't rush, be patient, we must succeed, the two-month deadline can be cancelled."
"Follow the order!"
Zhong Tan saluted and walked away quickly.
Wanyanchang then said to Wanyan, "I know this son Lu Datong. When his father was a local official, he bullied men and dominated women and did all kinds of evil. As a result, he was impeached by the censor and Lu Datong was dismissed.
Lu Yihao resigned as prime minister because of this. The Lu family was defeated by this person. I heard that he was exiled to Lingnan for ten years. It was estimated that the Lu family spent money so that he could come back and go to Jingzhao. If this person is used well, it would be a great success
A good insider, he can get some key information that ordinary spies can't get."
"Marshal Du is talking about his relationship with the princess?"
Wan Yanchang nodded, "He is a relative, just like Wei Tong. We need such a person."
Wanyan drank from Lisa and sighed, "What we need most is Iron Fire Thunder!"
The gate of Datong City was blown to pieces by an iron fire thunder of the Song Army. When Yelvcibao retreated, he got an iron piece of the iron fire thunder. Only then did Wanyanchang learn that the Western Army had broken through the iron fire thunder. This shocked him so much that he
One idea is to get this kind of iron fire thunder at all costs.
You know, the Jin State Firearms Institute is also studying iron fire thunder. After the defeat of Dashan Pass in the Battle of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the Jin State realized the importance of iron fire thunder and began to develop iron fire thunder with all its strength. But now in six or seven years
It went through, but never succeeded.
Now that the Western Army has succeeded, how can Wan Yanchang not be anxious? As long as he can get an iron fire thunder, the Firearms Institute can imitate it.
Wan Yanchang smiled slightly and said, "Don't be anxious. Let's stay calm this time. I have a hunch that if we find the right person this time, we will definitely gain something."
Lu Wei, Lu Jiao and the two businessmen's first meal has ended. It can be said that they had a great time chatting and they also made an appointment for the next meal.
But what surprised Chen Qing was that the other party actually wanted to buy the land from Lu Wei and was willing to pay a high price.
This made Chen Qing a little confused. Is the other party really just talking about business?
Zhong Huan also continued to investigate the two of them, and soon got a breakthrough from Zhong Huan.
Internal guard spy Liu Shun is a man about forty years old, with a face full of vicissitudes of life. He looks like an old farmer in the countryside. No one will doubt his identity.
He rode a big green donkey and walked into Xianyang City calmly. He was following an ox cart. The person in the ox cart secretly met Zhou Hua, one of the two businessmen, in a teahouse at noon today.
The guards watched.
There is almost no doubt that the people in the oxcart are the subordinates of the two businessmen. However, the inner guards did not expect that they actually lived outside the city. As expected, Zhong Huan ordered Liu Shun to be responsible for tracking them.
Liu Shun is a full-time spy who is responsible for tracking. His image of an old farmer can deceive anyone, and his eyes are extremely poisonous. As long as the flying horse is not galloping, as long as he is watching, there is no way to escape. On the empty official road, he
He was about two miles away from the bullock cart. When he entered Xianyang City, he was only a hundred steps away from the bullock cart.
The ox cart stopped in front of a relatively remote mansion in the east of the city. The people inside knocked on the door and entered the mansion, and the door was immediately closed.
Liu Shun remembered the mansion and turned to leave, but unexpectedly found a homing pigeon circling in the sky several times, folding its wings and falling into the yard. Liu Shun's eyes were indeed poisonous. He could see clearly that there was a pigeon tied to its leg.
A small red tube.
