As soon as Zhao Jin said this, everyone except Takeda immediately understood the intention of Zhao Jin's arrangements.
"Why?" Takeda's eyes widened, "Aren't they in the same group?"
Zhao Jin paused and felt helpless, "Xie Lian didn't know that Xu Yongshen killed his sister."
"Xu Yongshen knows what bastard things he has done."
Xu Qi glanced at Takeda a few times, "So Xu Yongshen knows that there is a blood feud between him and Xie Lian, so of course he won't rest assured."
After finishing his words, he whispered again, "What a fool."
Because the sound was very quiet, Takeda did not hear it.
Instead, he suddenly realized: "So your Excellency deliberately lets them know that Xie Lian has defected, so that they will be on guard and take action. In this way, a lot of things can be exposed."
…
The next night.
More than 500 people were lurking in the woods on the east side of the military camp.
"They usually start at the beginning of the year, so we have to wait." Xie Lian lowered his voice.
Zhao Jin nodded obediently.
He was covered in black fur, with a ring of fluff around the collar, which kept him warm. Even on a winter night, he would not feel cold in the woods.
Xie Lian looked at Zhao Jin's fur coat several times.
This fur suit ensures warmth, but it is inconvenient for fighting, gets in the way, gets dirty, and affects the ability to wield the knife and the sight.
But Xie Lian didn't think much about it, thinking that Zhao Jin didn't intend to play.
In the woods, the leaves of the trees in winter have almost fallen off, leaving only some bushes.
In this forest, even the rocks are not big.
As a result, more than 500 people could not all stand and wait. Most of them squatted down or sat directly on the ground.
However, there is snow on the ground. As soon as you sit on it, your clothes will get wet soon.
The same goes for boots on snow.
Everyone was here, from Xu time to Hai time, and then to Zi time, but still no one was seen.
"What are you waiting for this late at night?"
"They said they wanted to arrest someone, but not a single ghost was seen here."
The soldiers complained repeatedly. It was cold in winter and they had been squatting outside. It was already unbearably cold, not to mention it was the New Year.
A few hours passed and everyone's clothes, shoes and socks were a little wet.
Xie Lian's face became increasingly ugly, "My lord, I did not deceive your lord."
"It was indeed this time in the past, and this is the place we must pass through."
Zhao Jin raised his head and looked at the position of the moon before looking at Xie Lian.
"Thank you, sir," Zhao Jin said in a cold voice, "I don't know whether you deceived me or not."
"I just hope that similar things will not happen again."
Xie Lian gritted his teeth and held the handle of the knife tightly with his left hand, "Yes, I understand."
Zhao Jin glanced at Xie Lian, turned around and left, the black fur swaying slightly as he moved.
Qin Heng and others followed Zhao Jin and left.
After they were far away from Xie Lian, everyone finally couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, sir, you actually ended up scaring Xie Lian."
Zhao Jin couldn't help laughing, "Perform a complete performance, otherwise what should I do if my flaws are exposed?"
Zhao Jin had already expected that there would be no gain when he came out this time. Therefore, he deliberately wore a warmer fur coat.
The relationship between Xu Yongshen and the local gentry is intricate, and he will not be the one to swallow up all the military pay.
Therefore, after the others knew that Xie Lian was very likely to cooperate with him, in order to ensure safety, they would definitely not continue to follow the old habits.
"Have you found the location?" Zhao Jin turned his head and asked Qin Heng behind him.
Qin Heng nodded, "Your Excellency, your guess is good. They were afraid that Xie Lian knew where the remaining military pay was stored in the past, so they moved it last night."
"Oh, when interests are combined, it is inevitable that there will be mutual distrust." Zhao Jin stepped on the snow slowly, his voice slow and strong, "They didn't believe Xie Lian, so they chose not to tell Xie Lian where the greedy military pay was stored.
"
"Similarly, they don't trust Xie Lian and think he will investigate secretly."
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Xie Lian may not have had this thought."
"Xie Lian hasn't been found after all these years?" Qin Heng frowned slightly.
"If Xie Lian had started to check, he would not have failed to find it." Looking at the white snow reflecting the light under the moonlight, Zhao Jin analyzed:
"Xu Yongshen would rather take risks than use Xie Lian. Apart from Xie Lian's loyalty, the other thing is that Xie Lian is outstanding."
"The reason why he didn't find out about Lin Ran before was just because he had never guessed about Xu Yongshen."
"So, either Xie Lian held back before, or Xie Lian gave up in the end."
Zhao Jin lowered his eyes, "No matter what the reason is, it doesn't matter now. In the next two days, prepare to close the net."
"Is there any news about Liang Qian?"
Zhao Jin nodded slightly, "Qin Heng, you will still be responsible for the future."
"yes."
The next day, Chen Mansion.
"father."
Mr. Chen had just finished his meal, drank some tea and rinsed his mouth. He raised his eyes when he heard the sound, then lowered his eyelids.
"Did they go last night?"
Chen Jin frowned, "Well, they mobilized more than 500 people and guarded them over there in the woods."
Mr. Chen chuckled, "It seems that Xie Lian has really decided to turn against us."
"I don't know what he thinks. His hands are also unclean." Chen Jin was puzzled. "Could it be that Zhao Jin doesn't mind and is willing to help him solve these troubles?"
"Xie Lian is a capable man, but it's a pity that he is so stubborn."
Mr. Chen sighed slightly, "People who are stubborn usually die faster."
"Dad, are you saying that Xie Lian might just want to avenge his sister?"
The porcelain cup was put down and collided with the table, making a sound.
"What do you think?" Mr. Chen asked back.
Chen Jin pondered for a moment, "It's unlikely. Although Xie Lian and Xie Rou have a good relationship."
"But he is also a big profiteer, otherwise he wouldn't have done so many things in these years."
"If Zhao Jin is unwilling to solve his troubles, all his past efforts will be in vain."
"In the future, I will have no choice but to go to jail and my future will be ruined."
The more he thought about it, the more Chen Jin felt that Zhao Jin had made a promise to Xie Lian.
Mr. Chen's expression remained unchanged and he only asked, "Xie Lian followed Xu Yongshen because Xu Yongshen helped find Xie Rou. Why didn't he turn against him because of this?"
"He values profit as well as love."
Chen Jin was startled.
"None of these are important." Mr. Chen leaned on his crutch and knocked the ground hard twice, "Xu Yongshen, have you completely cut it off?"
Chen Jin came to his senses and said, "It's been completely cut off. Zhao Jin can't find the Chen family."
"That's good. Now, let's take care of the general's salary issue first!"
"My son understands."
After coming out of the Chen Mansion, his subordinates asked in a low voice: "Sir, who is going to do the thing tomorrow?"
"Chu Liang will lead the people to handle it, and let Zhu Zhen guard that side."
the other side.
Zhao Jin's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the dozen or so people in front of him, from Yanyang to Yunzhou, they were already considered confidants.
"You lead the soldiers in the military camp who have surrendered to us."
"Qin Heng and his party divided their troops into two groups."
The situation in Yunzhou suddenly became tense and dark clouds shrouded it.
