Mountain forests, mist, earthen courtyard huts, fences, and canopy gates. As soon as Zheng Qia escaped, he quickly asked Peng Tianheng to meet here. It was the same place where he went to Chaihu's house last time. It seems that it is still an unexposed place.
Peng Tianheng, who was sitting next to him, looked worried and frowning. Not to mention that the current situation was chaotic and worrying, but the large amount of private salt purchased by his subordinates would most likely not be shipped out. The government may have grasped his ability to traffic in private salt.
There are signs of activity. It is too risky to force luck in this kind of limelight. With so many brothers under his command, the loss and maintenance costs are enough for him to drink. There is a knife on the head of the word "sex". Only now did Peng Tianheng think of this. This time
It's really too easy.
The atmosphere was not very good. Even the Peach Blossom Fairy who came with me did not behave as coquettishly as she did last time when she met Uncle Zheng, but became much more serious.
"It must be that slut Mrs. Hu!" Peng Tianheng gritted his teeth and said.
Zheng Qiadao: "Things have already happened. It's better to look back than to look forward. Last time I was in a hurry to find you. There was a big thing that needed you to do. Now the secret has been leaked. The first thing to do now is to make up for it, otherwise you and I will die."
Apologize!"
"By the way, what was it for last time?" Peng Tianheng asked.
Zheng Qia pondered for a moment and said cautiously: "I can only let it go now. After I was arrested, a secret letter from above was taken away. I have to find a way to get it back. Although the matter has been leaked, as long as the evidence is recovered, according to the official
With complicated documents and rules, and many civil servants speaking in unison, it is difficult for the pseudo-imperial court to react. So by getting back the secret letter, whatever happened before can be made up for!"
Peng Tianheng said: "The official named Zhang has no scruples now. Unless he takes the risk of entering Yangzhou to rob it, what else can he do?"
"Regardless of losses!" Zheng Qia said in a serious tone, "Even if you lose all your business in Yangzhou, the boss will not ignore you as long as you perform meritorious services."
"My subordinates understand." Peng Tianheng clasped his fists and said, but in his heart he was not very optimistic about Zheng Qia's promise. He was a military attache, and he knew that no one would be able to speak without money, just like a general without soldiers.
Especially now that the old master Jianwen is in a difficult situation, as a general, it would be foolish not to think like a warlord.
The meeting between Peng Tianheng and Zheng Qia didn't last long, and they soon left the Chaihu fence yard in the mountains and forests.
... As soon as he returned to his territory, he immediately summoned several leaders, including Taohua Fairy, without mentioning Zheng Qia at all. He only ordered them to send people to stay at the water and land transportation points around Yangzhou City to look for the "Hu family"
traces.
Fairy Peach Blossom reminded him privately: "Didn't Uncle Zheng confess that the first thing is to seize the secret letter from Zhang Ning?"
Peng Tianheng suppressed his anger and said coldly: "It has been many days since Mr. Zheng was arrested. It is hard to tell whether the thing is in Zhang's hands. If we act rashly and fail to get the thing, but instead alert the snake, it will be even more difficult to do next."
.Let’s arrest one of their people first and find out the whereabouts of that thing.”
"I think..." Peach Blossom Fairy wanted to say that he was eager to take revenge, but seeing Peng Tianheng's face, she finally didn't say anything. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Listen to the owner of the village."
Peach Blossom Fairy has been in the arena for many years and is very aware of the situation of her group. It is true that there is an upper and lower organization, but it is relatively loose. You basically have to rely on yourself to find a place and live. The Jianwen court has long since collapsed. It has no finances, no power and territory, so what can it do with it?
Do you care about the life and death of old ministers? Therefore, those who run around in the world are still in the world, and those who work as slaves or maids still have to live in a low voice. Whether it is good or bad depends on your own ability. Fang Ling lives on both sides of Baoyang Lake because he has money; Peach Blossom Fairy now relies on private wealth
To make a living, whether Master Peng's words are more important than Uncle Zheng's words ultimately comes down to profit.
The previous plan by the superiors to assassinate Emperor Yongle was probably to use the hatred of the remaining ministers to win over people's hearts, so as to maintain the already very loose connection.
As soon as the Peach Blossom Fairy left, Peng Tianheng dropped his disguise, showed his anger, punched the table with his fist, and blurted out: "I'll skin you alive!"
I don’t know why this thing happened very easily. Within two days, the people below had followed the traces of "Hu". The girl first appeared in Baoyang Lake hooking up with a young boy, and then saw her in Yangzhou.
I spent a lot of money in major shops in the inner and outer cities, buying all kinds of silk damasks and going to tailor shops to make clothes. I also spent a lot of money in jewelry shops and rouge and gouache shops. I guess I got a lot of reward money and I couldn't bear to go out and squander it early.
, and the little daughter-in-law whom Peng Tianheng saw with his own eyes were like two people.
The feeling of being betrayed and fooled was uncomfortable, and when he heard that the girl was still enjoying herself, Peng Tianheng was furious, and nothing could stop him from taking revenge. He was also aware of the possibility of baiting, but it was really hard not to vent such a bad breath.
Uncomfortable.
So he ordered his men to keep an eye on "Hu" and wait for an opportunity to catch him.
Zhao Erniang was wandering around like this, so there were too many opportunities for loopholes. She was making an appointment with the young man she had newly hooked up with to go to her residence for a private meeting. When the young man saw her wearing silk and satin hanging with gold and jade jewelry, he thought she was a young woman from a rich family.
, the two of them are flirting with each other affectionately and passionately.
Unexpectedly, several strange men suddenly broke into the residence and controlled the two of them with sharp weapons. The young man was shocked when he saw the murder weapon, and said with anger and fear: "Are you performing a fairy dance? I have no money!"
"Go to your mother's fairy dance." A man cursed, "If you want to live, don't be blind."
When the leader brother heard that he was mistaken for a fairy, he was worried that this kid would be difficult to deal with. Although everyone is a desperado with his head tied to his belt, it is not fun to silence them. In any case, unnecessary murders can easily lead to trouble. The elder brother spoke up.
He said: "Is it reasonable for you to have an affair here with a married woman?"
Zhao Erniang understood everything in her heart and ignored their quarrel. She suddenly tried to run outside, but then she kicked something inexplicably under her feet. She fell heavily to the ground with a "plop", "Help..." He just shouted out a
Words, everything went dark before my eyes, there was a loud "buzz" on my head, and I received a blow.
When Xiaosheng saw Zhao Erniang lying on the ground bleeding with blood from the corner of her mouth, he was stunned. Beating him so hard was not like a fairy dancing. Did he really offend a married woman? He knelt down in front of the stool and said, "Brother, I don't know that she has a family."
People, those who don’t know are not guilty…”
"Take away!" the man ordered, and several people surrounded Zhao Erniang, tied her up, gagged her, and covered her head with a cloth. This fight scared the boy so much that he was shaking all over.
Fortunately, the few men didn't do anything to him. They tied up Zhao Erniang and got into the carriage and left. There had been no movement outside for a long time before Xiaosheng poked his head out and went out. He didn't dare to say anything and was eager to escape from this place of trouble.
Zhao Erniang was first placed in a ravine not far from the sea. That place was originally a small den used to temporarily store the purchased salt. Peng Tianheng was somewhat cautious, fearing that Zhao Erniang was a bait, so he did not deal with the matter immediately;
Another group of people were sent to set up secret sentries near and far to check the situation, but there was no movement for a few days, so he gradually felt relieved. This time he paid attention, and did not tell anyone his whereabouts, nor did he explain whether he would deal with "Hu".
when to go.
This thing is indeed a bait.
Xie Juan weighed everything and decided to tell Zhang Ning. At this time, Zhang Ning was angry in Biyuan. He looked angry and anxious. The people below had never seen him behave like this. They had always been in a hurry before.
He seems careless and slow, and rarely shows emotions or anger.
"What did I explain? I asked you to give Zhao Erniang the reward he deserves and let him find a place to avoid the limelight!" Zhang Ning pointed at Xie Juan's nose, "You must have deliberately let her go out to show off, she was treated as a
You took the bait and were sold by your own people!"
Xie Jun bowed his head, but he didn't seem to realize his mistake, as if it was not a big deal to treat Zhao Erniang as a victim; as the interviewer and him, the decision-maker, there was no need to worry about the life and death of a small person.
It was Xie Juan's attitude that angered Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning scolded: "You don't take me seriously if you make independent decisions! You will bear the consequences yourself!"
"My subordinate was confused for a moment..." Xie Jun admitted his mistake casually, but what consequences could this have? The most serious consequence would be to sacrifice Zhao Erniang. What impact would losing a secret agent have? And the overall situation of arresting Peng Tianheng was already a failure. This time
Even if multiple opportunities fail, there will be no worse outcome.
Xie Juan looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. Zhang Ning realized that he, a young official, had indeed failed to completely subdue the group of people below. What was the use of yelling at him? Zhang Ning was very angry. He was so angry that he
He calmed down and thought to himself: If there is a chance, I have to give this Xie Juan some shoes, so that he will know that he will pay the price for disobedience.
Zhang Ning simply sat down and thought with a cold face.
A mediocre person whose eyes are limited to the management of Biyuan can actually take it upon himself to challenge the top? Why? Zhang Ning suddenly felt insulted... His dead old soul seemed to be mocking himself with a proud gesture!
Xie Jun said kindly: "Master Zhang, please calm down. Things are already like this. We have another chance to get close to Peng Tianheng. Let's..."
"You are right, now is not the time to talk about right and wrong." Zhang Ning said calmly, "You call all the brothers in Biyuan immediately. They must be gathered within half an hour. We will rush to rescue people immediately!"
Xie Jun was immediately stunned: "Peng Tianheng hasn't appeared yet. This situation shows that he is very likely to take the bait. If we rush over now, won't all our previous efforts be wasted?"
"You didn't understand what I said. Who has the final say here? Do you want to disobey me?" Zhang Ning spoke clearly and unhurriedly. He then looked back at Zhan Zhuli who had returned from delivering the letter, Miao Ge who was making tea, and the two spy leaders.
, "As long as I can make the decision for a day, I will not betray my own people for a day. Thanks to boss for doing this, who will dare to work for you in the future?"
This sentence made Zhan Zhuli and others feel solemn. Xie Juan realized that his long-term prestige as a local leader had been hit, and he was very embarrassed for a moment.
