No matter how stupid Eunuch Zhao was, he understood what was going on. His face was gloomy and he said, "Mr. Zuo, what do you say?"
He is indeed in chaos at the moment, and he really can't think of any way to escape. The last straw can only be pressed on Zuo Qiuming.
Zuo Qiuming sighed, with a look of despair in his eyes, and said, "They have entered the city now, but they have not attacked you and me. I believe they still have some concerns in their hearts. Although we have no confidants in Datong City, we are in Xuanfu.
There are many involved in the fabrication situation, and there are so many godsons of the eunuchs in charge. Most of them are afraid that they will cause trouble if they touch you and me. This will give you and me time. The most urgent task at the moment is to protect yourself.
On the one hand, we must clear our relationship with Wang Fen. No matter whether Wang Fen is dead or alive, if someone bites us back then, he will not admit it if he is beaten to death. He only said that the border patrol was Wang Fen's idea, and he asked him, you and me
He was not doubtful, so he approved it. Who knew that he had brought people out of seclusion and did such a careless thing. Secondly, he was able to live in the capital. In the capital, I also knew some people, maybe
You can do something for me in the court. Eunuch Zhao must have some people hiding in the palace. Anyway, as long as there is no handle and evidence from you and me, we will be safe for the time being. They are no matter how cruel they are, but I am the Xuanfu after all
Governor, Eunuch Zhao is an eunuch in the custody. Without an imperial edict, no one can touch you or me. There is still room for maneuvering in this matter. At worst, the matter will be left unresolved. Even if the court doubts, at most you and I will give up this future.
No, you don’t have to be afraid of anything if you can save your life.”
Zuo Qiuming was silent for a moment, and continued: "There are also merchants of the eight surnames such as Fan Yong. They should remind these people to stay well and not cause trouble again. Eunuch Zhao, there is only so much to say, but
Please come back. Without ironclad evidence and imperial edict, no one can do anything to you and me. It’s not at the end of the road, so don’t worry. That’s all you need to say. You should think about it yourself when you go back. I want to take a look.
, What tricks do these people want to play?"
When Eunuch Zhao heard this, he felt relieved and couldn't help but think, as long as he refused to admit his account, even if Wang Fen was not dead, he would bite him? He hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this is the Miscellaneous Family.
Then go back."
Zuo Qiuming personally sent Eunuch Zhao back, returned to the Houya, and found a confidant and said, "I must tell you to stare at the Jubao Caravan with every move. I must know every move. Also, send someone to see how it can be done.
You can't send letters out, so you can send them to guerrillas and guards in Jizhen, Pingyuan Fort, and Changping Pass. Please stay for a while, so I will write letters now."
The confidant family said, "Master, the villain heard that the city gates were sealed everywhere, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, just because they were afraid that these letters might not be able to be sent."
Zuo Qiuming just smiled faintly, and seemed to be unwilling to care. After returning to the study, he spent an hour writing dozens of letters. The Xuanfu was divided into seven routes, with seven generals.
There are the sect generals of Dushimaying on the North Road, the sect generals of Yongning on the East Road, the sect generals of Wanquan Right Guard on the Shangxi Road, the sect generals of Shunshengwei Guangsect generals of Guangsect generals of Geyu Fort on the Middle Road, and the sect generals of Chaigou Fort on the Xiasi Road
, Nanshan Ginseng Generals, etc. The seven gangs were each divided into a jurisdiction, setting up camps on the spot, and guarding against enemies outside the pass at any time. The seven gangseng generals were sent to these letters from Zuo Qiuming, and three of them were sent to each other.
In addition, there are guerrillas, garrisons, and commanders in various towns, with dozens of people.
The contents of the letter are just ordinary greetings, but the tone in the letter has a bit of unquestionable meaning, and some of the letters are extremely majestic, such as in the letters to the generals of Dushimaying on the North Road, left
Qiu Ming wrote: "Are you safe recently? I asked someone to send sea cucumbers, have you used it..."
This tone not only shows an extremely intimate relationship, but also shows a different connection. After writing these letters, Zuo Qiuming called his family and said, "Take these letters immediately, if someone else can do this.
After interrogating, I said that I must send my private message, go."
The family was inevitably a little uneasy. The city of Datong is too strange now. Who knows if it can be sent out? But the master said that he dared not ignore the master's words. He took this stack of letters and felt heavy in his heart and quickly went to find the horse.
, headed towards the west gate.
The Ximen City Gate was closed tightly at this time, and the garrison was significantly strengthened. The city gate guard personally crossed his sword to inspect the city tower. He had issued an order before that no one was allowed to enter and exit the city gate.
The thick fog in the middle of the night was spreading up and down the city tower, and the bitter cold wind was raging. If it were in the past, the guards at the city gate would have already set fire on the city wall and took a nap to keep warm. But now, the garrison guards watched it themselves, and this
The garrison, who usually smiles when he sees people, looks very bad today, so no one dares to act rashly. They stand upright in the night fog and let the cold wind penetrate their bodies.
A fast horse hit the floor tiles with four hooves, and the sound was getting closer and closer, making the city tower alert. The guard of Ximen personally took people downstairs, asked people to set up a torch, and pointed at the sound.
He shouted loudly in the direction of the throne: "Who is it? Get off the horse quickly!"
Right ahead, a fast horse slowly slowed down. The person sitting on the horse had to turn over and get off the horse, lead the horse over, and said, "I am from the Governor's Yamen. I am the order of Lord Futai to leave the city and send a few letters.
, please open the city gate for convenience."
If the name of the governor's yamen was changed, who would dare to neglect? But today the visitor reported the Futai Lord, and a hint of coldness appeared on the face of the Ximen Guard. This Ximen Guard was not Zuo Qiuming's person.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be a small guard at this age. The news from the North Gate had spread in Datong City. Everyone knew what happened. The West Gate guard was not a fool. At this time, he sneered and said, "Get the letter."
Come and see it."
The person who came was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "This is a private message from Lord Futai."
"Give it!" Ximen Guard was not polite at all. He approached the person, stretched out his hand, and put his other hand on the hilt of the knife around his waist.
At this moment, the person who came did not dare to act rashly. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Guardian, leave a line of work..."
While he said, he handed over a thick stack of letters to the guard Ximen. The guard Ximen held the letter in his hand and weighed it. He couldn't help but smile and said, "This letter is quite heavy. It seems that the private letter from Lord Futai is from the private message.
There are quite a few, okay, now you can go back, and these letters will be temporarily kept in this guard. When you can leave the customs, this guard will naturally send the letters out. Go away quickly!"
The visitor couldn't help but argue: "Grandmaster..."
Ximen Shou smiled coldly and said, "If you don't leave, you will be dealt with by the rebels!"
All these words were spoken out, and Zuo Qiuming's confidant dared to say anything, so he got on the horse obediently and ran away.
Ximen Shou looked at the man's departure back, then called someone and said, "Go, hand over all these letters to Jubao Trading Company. He said that this was intercepted by the official at Ximen and did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he asked the Trading Company.
People can take a look at it.”
………………………………………………………………………………
The person who delivered the letter from the Governor's yamen returned to the Governor's yamen in panic. When he learned that the Futai Lord had not fallen asleep, he hurried to invite him. Zuo Qiuming seemed to be thinking about these letters and hurried to the side hall.
"Master, the West Gate's garrison is so rude. Not only does it not allow villains to come out of seclusion, but also confiscate all the letters... The villain deserves to die, and has misled the master's big affairs."
Zuo Qiuming heard this, not only wasn't angry, but he breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly said: "Oh, I know about this. You are doing a good job. Go to the warehouse to get a few taels of silver. This is what I reward you.
.”
After saying that, my mood improved a little, my face was no longer so gloomy, so I went back to the back yamen to sleep.
Instead, these letters were sent to Jubao Store, which made Liu Chengfeng wake up from the bed, stunned for a while, and felt a little insomnia.
"Go and call Mr. Li." Liu Chengfeng ordered, sitting in the study, looking a little anxious.
After a while, Li Dongdong hurried over with his shoes and smiled at Liu Chengfeng, "What are the instructions for sir?"
Liu Chengfeng pointed to the stack of letters on the desk and said, "Mr. Li, please take a look."
Li Dongdong took it over and looked at it, then his face became solemn, and he said, "Mr. Marquis, it seems that Zuo Qiuming is indeed a good plan."
Liu Chengfeng sneered and said, "This is naturally. These letters are not intended to be sent out at all. They were originally sent to this marquis. Rather than saying that this is the letter from Zuo Qiuming to contact the military officers of various towns, it is better to say that it is.
A letter of intimidation.”
Li Dongdong nodded. On the surface, this was indeed a very ordinary letter, which was similar to family letters. The lines revealed the elders' concern for their disciples and old officials. It was precisely because of this that Zuo Qiuming's information was revealed.
Zuo Qiuming did not want to send these letters, but told Liu Chengfeng openly that he would not think that he would become a fish on the chopping board in Datong. If he wanted to attack him, he had to consider his identity.
The promoted disciples and old officials are everywhere in Xuanfu. Once something happens to him in Datong, these guerrillas will not cause any trouble. If you have the courage, you can try it. Once it happens, you can try it.
After the chaos, the entire border will be in chaos. If at this time, the Tatars take advantage of the situation and see how you end up.
What a great stack of letters...
Liu Chengfeng's face suddenly turned cold and he said to Li Dongdong: "What do you think Mr. Li?"
