"His Royal Highness, the proprietor of Tianping Restaurant is Zhu Tianping's nephew, called Zhu Yan, he is here to inform the shopkeeper to evacuate, we just arrived and surrounded them, we interrogated this Zhu Yan overnight, he began to live or die, and we used a big punishment to pry his mouth open a little bit, he is also a member of the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce, he confessed the truth of Zhang Daqi's death."
"Tell me more!" Guo Song was very interested, he leaned forward slightly, and listened carefully to Zhou Min's narration.
"Zhang Daqi was more ostentatious in Chang'an at that time, showing off his wealth and identity, and was targeted by the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce, just Zhu Tianping's restaurant and Zhang Daqi's restaurant are next door, they called Zhu Yan back from Chengdu, provoking the contradiction between Zhu Tianping and Zhang Daqi, Zhang Daqi found someone to smash the Tianping Restaurant Soon after, he was sent to Taiyuan, Zhang Daqi believed in Jingjiao in Taiyuan, and was pulled into the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce."
Guo Song's brows furrowed, "Zhang Daqi joined the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce?" β
"Zhu Yan explained like this, Zhang Daqi joined the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce soon after he arrived in Taiyuan, and then Zhang Daqi seemed to regret it again, and the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce faked Zhu Tianping to kill him, and turned around and killed Zhu Tianping and his son, and Zhu Yan took over the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce in ......"
"Wait!"
Guo Song heard the clue, he interrupted Zhou Min's narration and asked, "You mean to say that Zhang Daqi's wealth has fallen into the hands of the Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce?" β
"Your Royal Highness, this Zhu Yan doesn't know much, the assassin Li Xiao took the initiative to contact him, he listened to what Li Xiao said, Li Xiao shot Zhang Daqi in Taiyuan, and he didn't know the specific things in Taiyuan."
"Where is this Li Xiao now?"
Zhou Min shook his head, "Zhu Yan doesn't know, he said that Li Xiao is good at drinking, and he will talk nonsense after drinking, he persuaded Li Xiao, but Li Xiao didn't take it seriously, he estimated that Li Xiao talked too much, and he may have been eradicated by the Tanghe Chamber of Commerce." β
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of running outside, and then someone said outside: "Your Highness Qiqi, the internal guard has an emergency intelligence report!" β
"Let him come in and talk!"
In a moment, the guards brought in an internal guard captain, who knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Highness Qiqi, Deputy Commander Qiqi, the brothers outside the city have captured the two treasurers who evacuated from Xishi, and at the same time seized the contact person who informed them of the evacuation. β
Zhou Min was overjoyed and hurriedly explained to Guo Song: "If you catch the contact, you can trace it back to the chief steward surnamed Kang, who thought that the contact person had escaped, and was depressed for a long time, but I didn't expect to be caught." β
Guo Song smiled and waved his hand, "No need to explain, hurry up!" β
Zhou Min saluted, said goodbye and hurried away....... εΊ8.(1)η₯ζε ¨ζεΏ«ιγΟΟΟs:/ΠΌ.Οε «(δΈ)zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ/
A large number of internal security soldiers were stationed in an inn outside the east city, and the two shopkeepers and liaison officers who retreated from the west market were caught by the internal guard soldiers here, thanks to the vigilance of the shopkeeper, because the martial arts hall had just been brought outside the east city, and the tragic fighting and hundreds of corpses were dragged out, shocking the surrounding merchants.
When the shopkeeper found that the three of them were sneaky, and the word weapon appeared in the conversation, the shopkeeper immediately decided that they were also Zhu Zhu's spies, and it was likely to be related to the martial arts hall, so he decisively reported the case to the internal guard.
The three of them wanted to wait for the most pedestrians to go on the road in the morning, but they did not expect that as soon as dawn came, they were raided by the internal security soldiers and captured on the spot.
Zhou Min led more than a dozen internal guard cavalry all the way to gallop, and after a while, he ran to the front of the inn.
"How's it going, everyone is okay!"
Lang Jiang nodded, "The two shopkeepers are fine, but that liaison tried to commit suicide several times, but they were stopped by the brothers. β
"Does he have a confession?"
General Lang smiled bitterly and said, "He bit his tongue out, and it is estimated that there will be no confession for the time being!" β
Zhou Min said without hesitation: "No matter what means are used, he must confess, the information he knows is too important to us!" β
"Obey the order!"
The internal guards quickly transferred the prisoners to three special carriages, which sped towards the city of Chang'an.
.........
Yangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture is a middle county, there are more than 3,000 households in the county, here is the place where Taiyuan goes north to Yunzhou, so there are many merchants and travelers, making Yangqu County quite prosperous.
At the fifth watch, several black shadows ran into a side hall of the Chenghuang Temple in Yangqu County, the light in the side hall was dim, and an old man in his fifties sat on a dilapidated brocade chair, with shabby clothes and a face full of vicissitudes.
No one knows the real name of this person, everyone calls him Lao Fei'er, specially to make trips, others do happy events he goes to cry and mourn, other people's children catch him to celebrate his birthday, if it snows, if you don't give money, don't want to go out in winter.
Lao Fei'er became famous and became a famous beggar leader in Yangqu County, and more than 200 beggars of all sizes in Yangqu County were controlled by him.
Two days ago, he received an explanation from the Taiyuan internal guard, asking him to pay attention to the flow of people from outside Yangqu County, and that he had to report to the government in a timely manner if there were more than 10 young men in the movement, and if he verified his meritorious service, he would be rewarded with at least a few hundred yuan.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and Lao Fei'er immediately sent out more than 200 beggars to inquire about the news and monitor every outsider who traveled to and from Yangqu County.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! β
Three little beggars ran in, panting and saying, "We've found out!" β
"What did you three little bunnies find?"
"We found that there are many young men living in the Qiao family compound in the west of the city....."
Another little beggar added: "There are at least fifty or sixty people. β
"How did you find out?" Lao Fei'er asked.
"We were catching loaches by the river just now, and we heard someone shouting in the Qiao family's compound, so we climbed up the big willow tree and peeked, and found that the yard was full of young men with black pressures, all holding spears and practicing against each other!"
"How do you know they're out-of-towners?"
A little beggar smiled and said, "If it's a local, can I hide it from you?" β
"Not bad! That's a good point! β
This answer made Lao Fei'er very satisfied, and he immediately said: "I'll go to the county government to report, you continue to watch, if I get a reward, there will be benefits for the three of you." "Genius remembers εΊγε£ΉChinese m.x/8/1/z//o/m/
The three little beggars said yes and ran away.
Lao Fei'er changed his clean outfit, put on a gauze hat, and hurriedly walked towards the county office.
At this time, just after the fifth watch, the county government has not yet opened the door, but there is a government official on duty outside the gate, hiding in the corner and sleeping!
"I said Lao Fei'er, it's not that the younger brother won't help you, you see it's only the fifth watch now, can't you wait a little longer? Now who dares to wake up the county order. β
Lao Fei'er snorted coldly, "Anyway, I'll tell you, it's the matter explained by the internal guard, if it's delayed, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it!" β
The official was helpless, so he had to get up with a scolding grin and go to the county yahou's house to report the county order.
Generally, the official was on duty outside the county office, but he was afraid that there would be something important, and the county order was woken up, and he heard that it was something related to the internal guard, so he met Lao Fei'er in the outer hall.
The county commander's surname is Pan, he was born in Jinshi, and he is about thirty years old, but he is a young and promising official.
He heard that there were fifty or sixty men, who were still training at night with spears, and he was suddenly awakened by fright, and there were no village soldiers in their county, only twenty or thirty servants, and if there was a fight, he was afraid that he would be afraid of his life.
He hurriedly said to Lao Fei'er: "You continue to keep an eye on the Qiao family's compound, as if nothing happened, don't alarm them, this official will report to Taiyuan." β
"The villain understands that he will not alarm them!"
.........
It is not far from Taiyuan to Yangqu County, when the Yangqu County Commander notified the Taiyuan Prefecture with a pigeon letter, Wang Yue, who had just arrived in Taiyuan, had no time to rest, so he led two thousand internal guard cavalry to set off from Taiyuan and rode to Yangqu County.
In the evening, 2,000 people arrived in Yangqu County, and for fear of alarming the suspects, they dismounted outside the city and galloped into the city.
Pan County Ling and Lao Fei'er, who were waiting at the city gate, hurriedly greeted them, and an internal security officer introduced them: "This is the commander of the internal security king, and he has made a special trip from Chang'an!" β
Pan County Ling hurriedly saluted, Wang Yue waved his hand and asked, "How is the situation?" β
"No movement for the time being!"
"How did you find out?" Wang Yue asked again.
Pan Xianling beckoned to Lao Fei'er, "Come up and say!" β
Lao Fei'er was not nervous, and bowed to Wang Yue and said: "The villain's name is Lao Fei'er, he is a beggar's head, last night, the three little guys were catching fish by the river, and when they heard movement in the Qiao family's compound, they climbed the tree to peek, and found that there were many young people practicing spears inside, at least fifty or sixty people, but today it was very quiet during the day, and it is estimated that they are sleeping during the day." β
Wang Yue asked again: "How big is that courtyard?" Is there a pier by the river? β
"Qiao's compound is more famous, covering an area of at least twenty acres, and there is a wharf behind it, which can be connected to Fenshui."
Wang Yue thought for a moment and said to a general, "You take three hundred brothers to the other side of the river, if a battle breaks out and someone escapes from the back wall, shoot me with arrows!" β
"Obey the order!" The general followed a guide with three hundred soldiers.
Wang Yue waved his hand, "Let's go!" β
He led 1,700 soldiers to follow Lao Fei'er to the Qiao family's compound.
