The Manchus couldn't interfere in the issuance of banknotes, so they used evil tricks, and they wanted to use counterfeit money to do their best, no need to guess that it must be Cixi, Yi, Yixun and those old-fashioned factions, they want to train soldiers, they want to seize power, no money can not work.

The printing house soon appeared in front of everyone, and the heavy iron door was full of kneeling workers printing money, and everyone saw that the prime minister was coming, and they trembled with fright and did not dare to move.

"Nonsense! Except for one traitor, are everyone traitors?, are you going to build a prison?" said he stretched out his hand to help an elderly craftsman.

"Don't be afraid, old man, what are you responsible for in the printing house?"

The old man never thought that he would be able to talk to the prime minister one day, and his excited hands trembled, "Prime minister, we really didn't betray you, old man, I swear by my ancestors, I really didn't leak secrets......"

"The printing mill was scattered in several caves, the paper mill was in the easternmost valley, and the ink was prepared in the cave in the north, and now this cave is the printing workshop......"

"The final cutting is the responsibility of the officers of the Intelligence Bureau...... Although I am a master craftsman, I only know part of the formula of ink blending, and everyone in the entire printing house is responsible for their own part, and no one knows all the craftsmanship......"

"To put it mildly, even if we want to sell, no one wants it!"

The other craftsmen also probably knew what was going on, and said one by one, "Prime Minister, in the printing house, except for a few big treasurers of the bank, the only one who can access all the crafts is Lord Yang! He is in charge of security, and he has the right to enter all the workshops......

"We didn't pay attention to it before, but now that something happened, we remembered that Lord Yang always likes to patrol the workshop in the past few months, and he has become much more diligent than before......"

Xiao Letian nodded and walked into the vault of the printing house, looking at the bundles of bonds and military tickets that had not yet been cut, and was silent.

After a while, the criminal investigation team of the Kung Fu Intelligence Bureau began to report the situation, and as expected, Yang Zhi was the only one who could take away all the processes in the entire printing house.

Xiao Letian's face was already pale, "Who escaped at four o'clock in ......the morning?"

"It was discovered by the lamplighter early in the morning, although it was very early at four o'clock, there were already many people who went to the dock to buy the freshest seafood, so no one more Yang Zhi took it to heart......

New gas lamps had already begun to spread on the streets of the Ryukyus, and there were no automatic ignition devices in those days, so there was a profession in Europe and the Ryukyus called a lamplighter.

Every evening they had to patrol the streets to light the gas lamps one by one, and in the morning they had to extinguish them one by one, which was a special occupation that belonged to that era.

Yang Zhi's whereabouts were discovered by the lamplighter, when Yang Zhi got on the fishing boat and went to sea, those lamplighters still wondered, at four o'clock in the morning, it should be the fishing boat that went to sea to rush back and send fresh seafood to the city, why are there still people going to sea now?

But he didn't expect that it was a traitor.

At this time, General Luo Huo also heard the news and rushed over, "My lord, General Cai Mao has already taken the ship out to sea, and now all possible directions to the east have been sent to search for ......"

Xiao Lotian shook his head, "It's not enough, it's definitely not enough, they have already arranged their escape, so they will definitely plan the escape route in advance...... It's probably going south, in a direction people don't expect!"

This is a kind of inertia in people's thinking, as soon as they heard that it was the Manchu court that bought Yang Zhi behind it, people would naturally identify the escape route in the north and west.

But Xiao Letian didn't think so: "Don't underestimate the cleverness of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how can they rule China for so many years, how can they be without some wisdom? Send a ship to search the south, I don't believe that they can put on wings and fly?"

Xiao Letian looked at the people around him sternly, "This incident fully proves that people will change, and the loyal old brothers will also be defeated in the face of wine and wealth...... If our cause always pins our hopes on the loyalty of others, I am afraid that such things will continue to ...... in the future."

"Wang Huaiyuan, from today onwards, it's better to sort out the various rules and regulations of the Intelligence Bureau, give up unreasonable expectations for the rule of man, and don't believe that everyone is a saint...... Future wars will become more and more dependent on intelligence, and whoever loses the intelligence war will be completely defeated on the battlefield......"

"Sister Wu can find the rebellion in advance this time, although it is a little late, but the responsibility is not yours, you have no merit, from now on, the budget of the swallows will be increased by 20% as a reward...... After arranging the affairs of the Ryukyus, don't go to Beijing City, contact Chun Thirteen Niang first, and expand the Yanzi's team together......"

"Well, our work has to go on, and our cause has to move forward...... The printing house continues to work, giving you half a year to improve the process, and we must guarantee that the quality of the banknotes has been upgraded...... They can be the first generation of process formulas, but they may not be able to steal the second generation, if they want to keep it a secret forever, they must always be ahead!"

One task after another was arranged, and people's impetuous emotions gradually disappeared in the face of Xiao Letian's calm response, and the backbone of Ryukyu was not messed up, what were they messed up.

Soon, the Intelligence Bureau began to search for Manchu spies throughout the city according to the information provided by the swallows, and many hidden very deep details were dug up, and the prison of the Intelligence Bureau was overcrowded for a while.

The navy of the Ryukyus on the sea controlled all the shipping lanes and carefully searched every merchant ship, even the merchant ships of foreigners.

However, it is a pity that the Ryukyu Navy does not yet have the strength to wrestle with the British Royal Navy, and for several British warships cruising Hong Kong and Shanghai, the old warships of the Ryukyus have no right to search.

Cai Mao and the others looked at the British frigate heading south, thinking back to the arrogant flag of the British just now, and their fingernails were embedded in the flesh.

"The strength is still not as good as the people! If the kind of ironclad ship that the prime minister said can be installed, I don't believe that the British can be so arrogant......

On the British battleship in the distance, a rosewood box on the table in the captain's room was extremely exquisite, and when it was opened, it was full of glittering gold bars.

A thousand taels of gold were placed in front of the captain, no wonder he would piggyback on a private goods, three Chinese who fell into soup like chickens.
