Chapter 039: There are many spies
The end of the sub-hour.
The time when this person is most likely to be sleepy and mentally slack is in the early hours of the morning, so it is most appropriate to go to the secret investigation at this time.
In order to ensure that everything was under control, Zhao Zongwu never let the three of them leave his sight after calling Ye Chao and them, so it was impossible to do anything about it.
A black dress is hidden in the dark night, and a black scarf covers his face.
Zhao Zongwu, Ye Chao, Zhao Ji, and Fan Tianxiong held knives and carried crossbows to sneak between the walls, although there were night patrol soldiers, but no one noticed them.
Under the darkness of the night, Zhao Zongwu and his entourage hid on the side of the tile roof.
With a wary look in his eyes, he looked at the silent Xu Mansion, although there were still a few lights in the mansion, but there was no tendency for people to wander around.
After thinking in his heart for a moment, Zhao Zongwu frowned, but said softly to the three of them: "I don't need to say more, I believe you all understand it in your hearts, remember not to startle the snake." ”
"Yes!"
Ye Chao and the others looked at Zhao Zongwu with blazing eyes, but they responded softly.
made a forward gesture.
Zhao Zongwu took the lead, Ye Chao, Zhao Ji, and Fan Tianxiong followed alternately, and the four of them took advantage of the night to move forward between the rooftops, although the pace was very fast, but there was no sound.
As a Jinyi Guard, this work must be done.
Whether it is fighting or stealth, you must be good, if you alert the enemy because of a slight noise, then this mission will be a failure for the Jinyi Guard.
Don't look at Zhao Zongwu, who is tall and big, but whether it is flexibility or sensitivity, this ordinary person is really not as good as him.
Easily crossed the first and second cordons of the Xu Mansion, Zhao Zongwu and his entourage hid in the night and sneaked into the Xu Mansion Mansion, this Xu Mansion is a five-entry mansion, don't look at how elegant the appearance is, but when you enter the second courtyard of the Xu Mansion, you find that this is clearly an improved version of the military camp!
Zhao Zongwu sneaked with a knife in his left hand, curled up slightly in front of his right hand, and the whole person walked in a forward shape.
Ye Chao, Zhao Ji, and Fan Tianxiong were separated, and the entire team was moving in the shape of an arrow, looking through the vigilant gaze, there were secrets hidden in this Xu Mansion.
What the hell is this catfish sacred!
It is really remarkable that it can achieve such a degree in Quang Ninh City, but the government has no objection to this!
In the city, the construction of a large number of buildings, especially the transformation of the house into a military camp, will inevitably involve the transportation of muck, but the transportation of large batches of muck will inevitably attract the government to investigate, but this Xu Mansion can stand here unharmed, to say that no one supports Zhao Zongwu will never believe it!
"Woohoo ......!"
While pondering, two yawning men with lanterns walked from a distance. Subconsciously, Zhao Zongwu and Zhao Ji picked up the short crossbow on their waists, and without thinking about it, they pulled the crossbow machine and shot it!
"Poof! Poof......"
With two sounds, the two family members were shot in the eyebrows, and they were about to fall to the ground with a sound.
But as early as the moment when Zhao Zongwu and Zhao Ji picked up the short crossbow, Ye Chao and Fan Tianxiong, who were on the side, had already rushed out, and at the same time, this could be regarded as attracting the attention of the two family members!
But just as the two of them made a sound, they were shot by a crossbow arrow hidden in the night, and they lost consciousness forever.
And at this time, Ye Chao and Fan Tianxiong took over the lantern that was about to fall to the ground with one hand, and the lifeless family with the other, and the danger was eliminated by Zhao Zongwu and their cooperation!
Gently put down the corpses of the two, cut off the lantern casually, and the group moved forward vigilantly.
Although Zhao Zongwu and the others did not have any information about this Xu Mansion, the experience they had cultivated over the years told them that it was not a big mistake to be cautious here.
The two of you sneaked in from the left, and Ye Chao and I sneaked in from the right.
Sneaking into the third entrance of the mansion but Zhao Zongwu did not get the evidence they wanted, and what is unbelievable is that there are two entrances to the fourth mansion, in order to avoid startling the snake, Zhao Zongwu made a gesture to Ye Chao and commanded them.
After receiving Zhao Zongwu's instructions, the four of them divided into two teams and infiltrated the fourth mansion from two entrances.
But this time it didn't go so well!
Zhao Zongwu and Ye Chao sneaked in from the entrance on the right, only to hear the sound of a few crossbow arrows breaking through the air, the two of them were in an emergency stop, raising the knife and waving it, the blade knocked away the galloping crossbow arrows, the tiger's eyes were angry and vigilant ahead, and they vaguely saw two people hidden between the high walls, and their left hand took out the short crossbow.
'Woohoo ......! ’
The paralyzing bolt burst through the air.
Although the two people hiding in the high wall had the upper hand, they were not the opponents of Zhao Zongwu and Ye Chao in terms of skill, although they wanted to shout angrily to raise vigilance.
But will Zhao Zongwu give them a chance?
The crossbow bolts that shot out galloped towards the two of them quickly and accurately!
"Enter!"
While the crossbow arrows were galloping, Zhao Zongwu snorted lightly, raised his knife and ran into the wall, Ye Chao held the knife in both hands, and since the situation was out, he would go head-on!
There was no mechanism in sight, no one in sight, nothing but the two who had fallen.
This should be a hidden sentinel!
With this thought in mind, Zhao Zongwu then took his knife and hurried over the wall door, where a neat carriage was placed in front of him, covered with canvas.
Got it!
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Zongwu was excited, and at the same time, Zhao Ji and Fan Tianxiong also rushed out from the other end.
"Investigate!"
The Dark Sentinel has been resolved, but who can be sure that there is no one else in the house?
What Zhao Zongwu wants to do is to determine what is in the car as soon as possible, as long as the thing in the car can be determined, then the next thing will be easy to do!
While speaking, the four of them dispersed and faced the night, but in the tea room, the four of them gathered together.
Holding the sack in his hand, the silver light sprinkled down, and he could still vaguely see the salt grains hanging in the sack, seeing that Ye Chao and they did not return empty-handed, Zhao Zongwu's tiger eyes flashed.
Got it!
This caravan into Quang Ninh was exactly the clue he was looking for!
From the chariots and horses that he investigated, Zhao Zongwu not only found a large amount of salt, but also found a large amount of iron!
Since the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Jiannu relationship, the Ming court has opened a ban on export to foreign countries in the border areas.
But for rural control, the Ming Dynasty is the weakest existence in all dynasties.
There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below.
A typical example of this reliance on Tongnu is the Eight Great Jin Merchants!
Through the observation of Zhao Zongwu, he can keenly perceive that this group of private salt in western Liaoning is not just a simple local force in eastern Liaoning, but also involves groups in other places!
Now I can be somewhat sure that Jin Shang is one, Shandong is one, Liaodong is one, and as for the rest, we still need to make plans!
Thinking about this clearly, Zhao Zongwu knew what to do next!
