Chapter 484: Captured

"Does the Pu family have any initiatives?" After all, Li Gu is a first-class smart person, and his mind moved at the moment, and he didn't care about the place where he spoke, and asked in a low voice: "What are the plans of the owner of Pu?" ”

"The Pu family can't make it." The person who came also said in a low voice: "Mr. Li and the bigwigs in Fuzhou know that the Pu family's fleet still has more than 100 boats, and there are thousands of private soldiers to escort the fleet. These people are similar to pirates, they are not as brave as pirates, and if they really brought Fuzhou, they are definitely not the opponents of the Zhongshan army......"

"So it's Pu Xingfeng?"

"The Great Governor of the Three Buddhas is the backbone of our Pu family." The people of the Pu family looked proud, although he had half Han blood, but he grew up in the Pu family since he was a child, and received a complete Tianfang education, and he also knew that the Pu family was also a first-class aristocratic family in Tianfang, and he was at most an inferior illegitimate child, even so, the people of the Pu family also felt that they were superior to the Wei people, and they had a feeling of being superior.

Speaking of Pu Xingfeng at this time, this person was also proud, looking at Li Gu, who was quite shocked, the people of the Pu family continued: "The dead ghost of Yan Qi was sent by our chief manager before, this person is useless, and he will die." But eradicating the forces of the King of Zhongshan and abolishing his water division is the purpose set by the Grand Governor. Although the three Buddhas and Lanfang countries have not been destroyed, the chief manager still plans to gather 100,000 troops and more than 1,000 ships, and prepare to arrive on the Fujian Road at the beginning of next summer, and destroy the Eastern Domain and Penghu Foundation of Zhongshan Wangfu in one fell swoop, destroy its sailors, and then conquer Zhangzhou and Fuzhou and other places, even if Xu Zixian can escape his life, his foundation will definitely not be able to be saved. ”

Li Gu couldn't help but look around, at this time he and the people of the Pu family had already walked into the nearby alleys, the rise of Fuzhou Zhufang was still the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the pattern of the city for hundreds of years has not changed much, and many alleys are also like long streets, at this time, many people gather in the area of Wenrufang, and the alleys are not the main road, there are very few pedestrians at night, and there are not many people passing by at this time, only a few hawkers, about to sell out of meat dumplings, soup cakes, oil cakes and other food, at this time carrying a flat shoulder and other things, swaying slowly at the mouth of the alley, did not hide his figure, and there was a sound of talking and laughing.

In this way, Li Gu's tense mind was relaxed, and he whispered to the person of the Pu family at the moment: "Such an important matter, once the news leaks, you will lose your head, brother must be cautious in his words and deeds!" ”

The people of the Pu family pouted, if a few years ago, it was common for him to say something rebellious, Pu Xingfeng could get him out of prison for a few dollars. Now it is different from the usual, the Pu family left Fuzhou not only to give up the big mansion in Fuzhou, but also to give up the century-old business in Fuzhou for several generations.

Prior to this, although the Pu family was a Semu custom, they spoke a good Fuzhou official dialect, and treated people with Wei etiquette, only behind closed doors did they change into a heavenly white robe, practice heavenly etiquette, and live in accordance with the provisions of heavenly teachings.

And the people of the Pu family are outside, the color of living in Fuzhou is already very light, and many times, the officials and military and civilian people of the Great Wei Dynasty also invisibly regard the Pu family as their own people, they have settled for a hundred years, they have been rich for a hundred years, and they are big businessmen who have been in peace and do some good deeds from time to time.

If the military and civilian people of Fuzhou are abandoned, such a big businessman has a colorful background, and the people of Fuzhou are alienated and indifferent, and they will not be able to recover their past prestige without years of operation.

Coupled with the hostile relationship between the Zhongshan Mansion and the Pu family, if you are arrested for committing a taboo at this time, you will really be engaged in accordance with the law, and even be severely punished.

"Mr. Li, hurry up and clean up." The people of the Pu family urged: "Tonight, I will also rest in the gentleman's mansion, and as soon as the city gate is opened tomorrow morning, we will go to Quanzhou from the mountain road, and we will not go to Qizhou Port to enter the sea." ”

Originally, the towing family must be from the Minjiang River to the boat, out of the Minjiang River estuary into the sea, and then from the sea to Quanzhou is the best, the boat is not tired, and you can bring more furniture and things, but Li Gu knows that from the Minjiang River, you must be careful to beware of the Zhongshan Army's sailors to block and investigate, the Minjiang River has been extremely strict recently, compared to the Xiang Army's river defense camp is more than ten times stricter, it is difficult to get out under the investigation of the sailors, and Li Gu's identity is special, once the horse's feet are exposed, it is the end of immediate arrest.

At that moment, Li Gu nodded lightly, didn't say more, and knocked lightly in front of his own door, this mansion was secretly bought by Li Gu, except for the people who handled it, no one knew the hidden spot here, and after moving out of the family, it was impossible for the people of Zhao Wangfu to find out.

Pu Shougao now needs a strategist like Li Gu to give advice for the Pu family, and Li Gu also needs a powerful force to contain himself, so as not to be harmed by King Zhao.

It's just that when he knocked on the door, he felt that the door had been opened, Li Gu's heart tightened, and when he pushed his hand on the door, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

After pushing open the door, Li Gu and the people of the Pu family all changed their faces greatly, in the small courtyard, there were more than ten people standing in the dark, Li Gu's family members were all tied in the main hall, and there were still gags in their mouths, so they couldn't scream, and when they saw Li Gu, everyone was twisting, but they couldn't move, and their mouths were just struggling, and they couldn't scream.

Li Gu sighed, he had already heard the footsteps behind him, the hawker who was originally carrying the burden and laughing in the distance had already hurried over, the two people who sold flat food and meat dumplings were extremely athletic, and they arrived behind Li Gu and the Pu family in a few steps, and one person had a short knife against the back of the two, and the two hawkers said softly: "You two need to be honest, don't mistake your own life." ”

"Am I going to live?" After being pushed into the courtyard, Li Gu smiled bitterly and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao will not spare me, but I want to see His Royal Highness, there are some hardships and secret things to report, so I want to ask for a favor and ask His Royal Highness to spare the lives of my family." ”

Li Gu had a wife and two concubines, and gave birth to two daughters and a son, all of whom were tied up tightly in the hall at this time, and everyone heard Li Gu's words, tears rolled down, and they all looked very sad.

Although Li Gu was facing the sky on his back and posing down, he couldn't help but have two tears in his eyes, and his chest was wet with tears.

"What are you doing with this?" A young man walked into the courtyard, lit a candle for the first time in four weeks, and the person who looked like a descendant, Da Ma Jindao, sat down under the eaves of the porch, glanced at the Pu family who was twisted his arm, and said: "We are not from Zhao Wangfu, Li Gu, you boast of your wisdom, you would make such a joke, are you still lucky?" ”

Li Gu's face was as white as paper, although he roughly guessed the identities of the people in front of him, he still didn't want to believe it, but if he still pretended to be stupid in front of him, he looked down on the people in front of him and belittled himself.

With a miserable laugh at the moment, Li Gu said: "It seems that Zunjia and the others were sent by His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan?" ”

"Exactly." Of course, it was Jin Jian who spoke, and he nodded proudly at the moment, and then continued: "A certain person was ordered by the king to be a full-time spy to investigate and investigate the spy and other things, you Li Gu colluded with Li Kaiming and caused such a catastrophe with the Pu family, how could you be so lightly told to leave?" ”

"But you don't know how to get down?" Li Gu's face was gloomy, and most of the things that fell into the hands of King Zhao ended miserably, but he could still use the old incense to fight. For the King of Zhongshan, he Li Gu has always been the confidant and mastermind of King Zhao, and I don't know how many ideas he came up with, and he fell into the hands of the people of the Zhongshan Palace, which can be described as how miserable it is.

At that moment, Li Gu reluctantly said: "Many things are done under the orders of His Royal Highness King Zhao, and in the next body, I will beg not to harm my family, and put my family in a way to live." ”

Jin Jian said disapprovingly: "We also have a law to act, how can there be a reason to kill the whole family?" Your family, it's not good to show your head for the time being, let's send them to live on the Eastern Domain. Rest assured, our king has always acted above board, promised a thousand gold, and never harmed his family, Li Gu, you have been by King Zhao's side for a long time, and it can be said that you have spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. In contrast, if we were sent by King Zhao today, none of your family would survive, and you yourself would know it, right? ”

This is also irrefutable, Li Gu smiled bitterly a few times, and said: "Since this is the case, I am very grateful and admired...... If His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan has something to ask for cooperation in the subordinates, he will work wholeheartedly in the subordinates, and dare not say anything else. ”

"It's good if you know what you know." Jin Jian nodded lightly, he didn't say much, but the people in the Military Intelligence Department are not good men and women, in fact, the King of Zhongshan is not easy to do, and it is inconvenient to do the secret deeds, all of which are led by Jin Jian to the group of people in front of him. Military and political affairs, in addition to the above and fair, there are also some unsightly actions, such as pinching the Li Gu in front of him, and striking a blow to King Zhao's father and son at a critical juncture.

In the case of King Zhao, Xu Zi first planned to make an iron case in the future, and he would never act carelessly, so this matter was explained again and again, so that Jin Jian must do a good job in this matter, as for checking Li Gu's whereabouts, tracing traces, and determining where this person is hiding, it may be clueless for King Zhao, and for Jin Jian and the Military Intelligence Department, it is too simple a matter.

The first of the several intelligence points that the Military Intelligence Department attaches the most importance to is Fuzhou, which is close to each other, and second, it is early in layout and easy to arrange manpower.

It is easy to buy up to the petty officials, the doormen of the mansions, the personal entourage, the handymen who sweep the floor, and the maids and servants. Then there are the monks, Taoist women's crowns and the like, which are all well-informed, from the official level to the internal information of the major mansions, which can be easily obtained.

In addition, the military intelligence personnel in the market are constantly collecting intelligence, and the intelligence group is also divided into several types, such as listening, remembering, sitting, and probing, such as an important person like Li Gu, and the intelligence group has special personnel who use various methods to analyze his whereabouts, including the purchase of a mansion, which is a secret for Li Gu, and for the military intelligence personnel, it is simply a parade through the streets with torches in the dark night, and a little attention is to sort out Li Gu's traces clearly.

Li Gu would not have understood at this point that he was not fighting against the group of people in front of him, but a huge organization. From the organizational structure to the methods of doing things and the training of personnel, a whole set of patterns has been formed, far more than the intelligence agencies of this era, and it is by no means that an individual like him can compete with it!

In front of him, Li Gu's face was gray, although his family was fine, but Li Gu himself was waiting to die, he had become a fish on the cutting board, just waiting for the chef to choose the right time to take the knife.

When Jin Jian sent Li Gu's family away, both parties looked at each other with tears in their eyes when they said goodbye, knowing that although it was life and death at this time, it was also a farewell to death.

Everyone present, but there was no one who moved the heart of concealment, and some people even ridiculed: "Li Gu, for the sake of your own selfishness, instigated Li Kaiming to cause trouble and build a state, and you were afraid of tens of thousands of deaths before and after, and you didn't kill the whole family, because our king acted in care of the laws and regulations of the country, and the Great Wei dealt with the criminals, even if the crime was extremely evil, at most they would be exiled from the army, how could there be a reason to punish the nine clans, that was the story of the previous dynasty." If we say that with our minds, your whole family seems pitiful, but among the families you killed, which family is not old and young, and the people die not pitiful? It is very important to strangle your family members to death one by one in front of you, and then kill you, this is the way of heaven to return, and the retribution is not happy. It's a pity that the king doesn't want to do this, and we don't dare to act without permission, for fear of tarnishing the king's reputation, so don't pretend to be a good person anymore, and when the death comes out, your family should also serve on the island and atone for your sins! ”

Li Gu had nothing to say at this point, and he had nothing to say, only watching his family being escorted out, and he himself was bound to become a chess piece, waiting for the final ending.
