Chapter 1590: There Are Spies
Sunset.
Yanping Gate is located in the west of Chang'an City, at this moment it is almost evening, the afterglow of the slanting sun is blocked by the tall city wall and the towering city tower, the city gate has been shrouded in shadows, only by raising the head, can you see the golden edge rendered by the sunset on the arrow buttress of the city wall......
The eldest grandson stood in the shadows by the city gate with his sword in his hand, and yawned boredly.
Today is his duty, just in time for Wei Zheng to die, the emperor has issued a decree to leave the dynasty for three days, not only the kings and grandsons in the city all went to the Wei Mansion to mourn, even the counties near Chang'an also have many officials and wealthy families who are related to the Wei family, and hurried to Chang'an to mourn.
There are even many relatives from other places who have just received the letter and are on their way to Chang'an for funeral......
Wei Zheng's ancestral home is Julu, Hebei, although it is not a wealthy family, but it is also an official for generations, and it goes without saying that the clan sent people to mourn, and his wife was born in the Pei family in Hedong, and the family is illustrious.
Chang'an City is an important place in Gyeonggi, and when such a major event occurs in the city, it is natural to strengthen public security and strictly check the personnel who enter and leave the city, which is an arduous task and a heavy responsibility for the soldiers guarding the city.
Rumors of the discovery of malaria in the Guanzhong area have gradually spread, and the people are panicking, if it is more serious, then the whole city will have to be under martial law, both the people and officials are strictly forbidden to enter and leave the city, and necessary materials such as rice and grain will be escorted by the army.
In such a state, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to be careless in the slightest......
However, at this moment, Changsun Wu hoped that there would really be such an imperial plan to infiltrate Chang'an City, whether it was Goguryeo, the Turks, or even the Nanyang countries that were rumored to be beaten by the sailors...... As long as you can catch a fine work, promotion and fortune are almost certain.
Almost every soldier guarding Chang'an City has a dream of soaring.
Because right next to him, there was a guy who went from a gatekeeper to a high official and made a fortune to the pinnacle of life just because he was strong enough to block Xungui, what could be more inspirational than this?
This person's name is Wang Xuance......
In the eyes of the guards of Chang'an, Wang Xuance is a living legend, when that guy didn't bend down in front of Fang Er, everyone thought he was dead, but who would have thought that the majestic Fang Er would actually eat this set?
What a mallet......
Shaking his head, Eldest Sun Wu felt envy and jealousy in his heart.
Behind him, a subordinate walked over with a young man with an obscene appearance.
"The eldest grandson is Zheng, this person is looking for you again......"
Changsun Wu turned his head, twisted his neck, glanced at this young man, and felt a little disdainful in his heart, guarding the city gate all day long, who he hadn't seen? It seems that such a guy who is not standing and frowning at each other is not a good bird at first glance......
"What?"
"That...... The eldest grandson team is positive, and the little one has something important to tell him......"
The young hippie smiled and nodded.
Eldest Sun Wu frowned, pressed the horizontal knife on his waist, and said impatiently: "What is the important thing for you to be a thief like you who specializes in finding old and weak women and children?" I didn't take the spare time to talk nonsense with you, hurry up and get out of the way, don't get in the way of a certain errand! ”
It seems that such bastards who don't do their jobs are extremely unpopular in Chang'an City. Not only is everyone shouting and beating with hatred, but the government is often punished and whipped, and even the rangers who gather in the market and do not do their jobs look down on them.
In Chang'an City, only the most unproductive people will engage in this kind of stealing business for a living, like cockroaches......
Seeing that Changsun Wu didn't have a good face, the young man hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be annoyed by the team, the small one is really something, this matter is related to the team's future......
Changsun Wu almost laughed angrily, raised a foot and put it on the young man's waist, and scolded: "You are an ant-like thing, can you also affect the future of a certain person?" Do you know that a certain person is a child of the eldest grandson's family! ”
Although it is only a side branch...... But isn't that also surnamed Changsun?
The young man "oops", he was kicked and staggered, and before he could speak, the soldier who led him over was already annoyed and scolded: "Mother! Lao Tzu kindly led you to see our team, why are you entertaining me? ”
There was no brainless punching and kicking immediately.
The young man covered his head and face, and shouted, "Stop! Stop it! The small one is really something, wow! Stop it...... The small discovery of the enemy country was detailed ......"
"Stop, stop!"
Eldest Sun Wu stopped his subordinates, frowned and asked, "What did you just say?" ”
The young man said: "The little one has discovered that the enemy country is a spy!" ”
The eldest grandson Wu laughed: "Spies? Just you? Hahaha...... What a stupid spy you have to be able to find out? ”
The young man said: "The little one swears to the sky, what he said is true!" ”
"Oh? Tell me, where did you find it? "Changsun Wu is a little suspicious, maybe ...... Is this guy really unlucky?
"What's that...... Oops, my back hurts...... My face hurts too...... That, this team is the one, and I haven't eaten breakfast yet......"
The soldier next to him raised his fist again: "Mother! When did Lao Tzu hit you in the face? ”
"Alright, alright!"
Eldest Sun Wu waved his hand, stared at the young man and said, "Do you know what the consequences of lying are?" ”
The young man's eyes rolled, he swallowed, and said, "I know!" How dare I lie to you? I really found out! ”
"Good!" Wearing armor and not carrying a purse, the eldest grandson Wu walked to the root of the city wall on the side, picked up a blanket placed there, opened it and grabbed a large handful of copper coins, stuffed it into the young man's hand, and said, "Tell me, where is the spy?" ”
The young man glanced at the copper coin in his hand, and then at the swollen robe of the eldest Sun Wu, licked his lips, and looked embarrassed: "This...... That one...... Presumably, the team also knows that now the prices in Chang'an City are soaring, and a bowl of knife-cut noodles costs a copper coin...... Look at the money you have...... Ha ha...... Oops! ”
But he was kicked by the eldest grandson Wufei, and the copper coins in his hand were scattered all over the ground......
The eldest grandson Wu said angrily: "Something like a pig and a dog, dare to bargain with Lao Tzu?" Come on, come on, Lao Tzu won't let you look at the color today, you don't know the three eyes of the prince Ma! ”
The last sentence is Fang Erlang's famous saying, which has long been spread throughout Guanzhong, and whenever there is a fight and a fight in the street, if you don't add such a sentence, it seems that you don't feel majestic enough, there is no evil spirit, and you can't control people......
The two of them beat the young man again, this time it doesn't matter what kind of head and face, splitting the head and covering the face is a ruthless meal, where it hurts, where it hurts!
Thieves and thieves in the market, where is there any strong ambition?
After a fist, he immediately coaxed, and begged for mercy loudly while shrinking into a ball: "Little mistake, small mistake, I don't dare to ask for money with the team...... Spare me, I really saw a spy......"
"Mother! Why is it so hard-mouthed? ”
"Really, really! I really saw the spies......"
"Okay! Your mother still plays this game with Lao Tzu, right? Come on, come on, you point out to Lao Tzu where the spy is, catch the spy, let's write it off, if you can't catch it, Lao Tzu will pick your skin today! ”
The young man covered his head, his eyes glancing out from between his fingers, and suddenly shouted, "Spy! The spy is there! ”
"Huh?"
As soon as Changsun Wu subconsciously raised his head, he saw a carriage swaying towards the city gate, this is a spy? How dare a spy enter the city with such a swagger?
My heart was on fire, and I wanted to loosen the skin of this thief, but suddenly my heart jumped, and I looked up again, and my eyes were fixed on the coachman wearing a hat on the wheel......
It's all dark this day, and I'm not as afraid of the sun as at noon, what are you doing wearing a hat?
Eldest Sun Wu was suspicious, so he straightened up, walked towards the carriage, and shouted, "Stop, stop!" It's getting dark, why are you going into the city? ”
The soldiers around him also hurriedly followed.
The young man grinned and rubbed the sore spots on his body, looked at the back of Changsun Wu, spit out a mouthful of saliva, and scolded in a low voice: "This rabbit cub is so dark!" Dozens of copper plates want to send Lao Tzu away? I want to drop beauty! Hmph, this carriage is an unlucky bastard, you can break it with them, spy? Can a spy swagger into the city in a carriage? Fool Egg One! ”
Glancing around, he saw that no one had any idea of him, so he quickly got up and spread his feet and ran all the way south along the base of the city wall.
While running, I thought to myself: Lao Tzu has discovered the whereabouts of the spies, this is a good opportunity for me to make a fortune given to me, but I can't find a mallet like Changsun Wu to sell news, this group of grandsons who can't be on the table is too black......
*****
Wei Mansion.
Wu Meiniang sent a steward on the dock to inform Fang Jun, saying that Xue Rengui and others had received Fang Jun's letter and had arrived in Chang'an, and had just disembarked at the moment and were still staying at the dock.
The arrival of Xue Rengui and others is related to Fang Jun's plan for the reorganization of the Youtun camp, which is a top priority and cannot be delayed.
Fang Jun explained the situation to Wei Shuyu, saying that there was something important to deal with urgently, and Wei Shuyu naturally said that he would go to work first if he had something. After saying goodbye to the prince and others, he left the Wei Mansion, took a group of generals, and went straight out of the Mingde Gate in the south of the city and went straight to the dock.
