Li Hongniang looked at Song Zheng in a daze, and was speechless for a while.

"Sister, when I went south from Licheng, I was embellished by Dark Eagle's people as soon as I left Shandong Road, and the news was revealed by Jiang Kui to Dark Eagle. This is one of them. The second is that Wang Ji is now hiding in Jiang Dashan's house, and the person who got the news is Dark Eagle, but the Imperial City Division has not received a trace of the news. I suspect that Jiang Kui has long been secretly communicating with the people of Dark Eagle. ”

Li Hongniang pondered for a while and said, "You have a grudge against Jiang Lin, and it is normal for Jiang Kui to deal with you secretly." But this doesn't prove that Jiang Kui is a traitor, right? Jiang Kui was single-handedly raised by the prince from the army, and he and Duan Jian Duan Deputy Commander can be regarded as the prince's henchmen, and the relationship is extremely close, and it is always a little reluctant to say that he betrayed the prince. ”

"My sister is right, there is not much evidence yet. However, there is one thing that is undoubted, and that is the relationship between Jiang Kui and Dark Eagle. I know that the high-level of the Dark Eagle has a connection with the high-level of the Imperial City Division, but the news can't hide it from the Dark Eagle, but it hides from the Imperial City Division, so you can see the extent of their connection. ”

Li Hongniang glanced at Song Zheng, "Where did your news come from?" ”

Song Zheng smiled, "Sister knows, it's not convenient for me to say, but my sister should be able to guess a few points." ”

Li Hongniang also smiled, "That person has helped us a lot in Licheng." You helped you when you went south, and I don't know why that man helped you so much. ”

"I'm also very strange, but it's a pity that the man didn't tell me if he was alive or dead." Song Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After being silent for a while, Li Hongniang said, "This news can't be told to Big Brother Ying for the time being." ”

"Yes, after all, we don't have definite evidence, and if we suspect the prince's henchmen for no reason, we will fall into passivity."

"If you know, it's good." Li Hongniang sighed, touched Song Zheng's cheek and said, "Xiaolang, don't look at your current scenery, but the situation is really not good." There is an old bald donkey in the palace, Huang Song hates you to the bone, Xiao Tong is also ill-intentioned, and Jiang Kui is also worried about you. There is also the business house, the Ji family and other big families are not vegetarians, you must be careful. ”

Song Zheng was moved in his heart and stroked Li Hongniang's hair, "Sister, don't worry, don't you see that I don't act easily alone now?" ”

Li Hongniang said "um" and put her head in Song Zheng's arms, "How do you want my sister to help you, although I said that my sister's heart is now on you." ”

"Sister herself should also be careful, since Jiang Kui has bad intentions, he will not trust you too much."

"He didn't trust me for a long time." Li Hongniang said with a smile, "Now, Jiang Kui now trusts the people around him, and he doesn't use the people of the Imperial City Division if he has something." The current Jiangning Imperial City Division only has some daily inquiries about the news. But it's just right, so I'll have the manpower to help you. Do you want me to send a few people? ”

"If possible, my sister will send Brother Hu to me, I just need someone I absolutely trust to do a big thing." As soon as Ding Long's incident came out, Song Zheng couldn't help but suspect that there might be other people's eyeliner in the group of people he trained. This made him helpless, but also deeply felt that there was a shortage of manpower.

Li Hongniang nodded lightly, and arched her head into Song Zheng's arms again.

Song Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "If possible, my sister will prepare a detailed information for me." Including what Xiaotong has done in the past 20 years, and who he has been closely connected with. and now his position as a child, a protégé, and a former official. In addition, it is necessary to send trusted people to keep an eye on the national government. ”

Li Hongniang was stunned for a moment, "Xiaolang, the most threatening person now should be Wang Ji, as soon as he makes a move, he will either die or be injured." ”

Song Zheng shook his head, "Wang Ji, I will be careful and try not to give him a chance, but Xiaotong worries me even more." Since even I have his eyeliner here, I suspect that he has a lot of plans. ”

"Okay, then listen to you." Li Hongniang replied in a low voice, closed her eyes, rubbed on Song Zheng's chest again, and wrapped her hands around Song Zheng's waist, looking extremely attached.

The two of them were warm, and they were almost out of control. It wasn't until the sky was bright that Li Hongniang left.

"Young Master, Mr. Mu is here." Just finished breakfast, Song Zheng was about to go to the manor, and Erhei came in to report.

"Please!" Song Zheng hurriedly commanded. Mu Yi actually came to find him in person, there must be something very important.

A moment later, Mu Yi entered the living room. Song Jue, who was about to go out to the Academy of Literature, said hello to Mu Yi and left. Zhu and Xiaoping went to the backyard.

After Ming'er offered the fragrant tea, Mu Yi gave Song Zheng a look, and Song Zheng asked his subordinates to retreat.

"Uncle Mu, does the Ji family have news?"

Mu Yi smiled, "Xiao Lang is really a god. ”

Song Zheng smiled and motioned for Mu Yi to drink tea. After Mu Yi took a sip, he said slowly, "The Ji family has several big salt farms in Jianghuai. They are located in Haizhou, Yancheng, Hai'an and other places. The salt used by the palace city, the city guards, the capital guards and even the forbidden army all came from the salt fields in Huaibei. However, the salt used in Miyagi was escorted by land by the garrison battalion appointed by the local government. The salt used by the Jiangning army was transported by sea to the mouth of the Yangtze River, traced up the river, and reached the Da Yuan Wharf in the east of Jiangning City, and then distributed to the battalions of the three parts of the army. ”

Song Zheng nodded, Huainan and Huaibei have been famous salt farms since ancient times, Huaibei uses the salt drying method, and Huainan uses the salt frying method, which makes Huaibei's salt superior in quality, and the salt used by the army and even the palace city is naturally to be used well.

Mu Yi continued, "The Ji family has raised a lot of strong men, and according to the size of the salt farm, they distribute manpower and are responsible for protecting the salt farm. As for the specific production of salt, it is the responsibility of the salt farmers in the salt works. The Ji family was responsible for purchasing and then reselling it to the army in Jiangning, Miyagi and salt merchants in various places, and the salt used by the garrison battalions and border troops in various places came from salt merchants. The Ji family is also very good at being a person, and the salt used by the Miyagi and Jiangning armies is priced, and the price is not high. Since the Ji family took over the salt farm, the price has always been 50 wen per catty. And this kind of first-class salt, in the market, can be sold for about 120 yuan. Therefore, there will be rumors among the city guards that some people are selling first-class salt. A few years ago, there was a case in which the head of a Lang general was cut off. ”

"The Ji family's salt is transported from Huaibei, how many checkpoints do you have to pass?"

"Xiaolang knows that my Daqi Customs focuses on two places, one in Dengzhou and the other in Mingzhou. The Dengzhou Navy was mainly responsible for the defense of Jin, and was controlled by the governor of Shandong Road. Mingzhou Customs, on the other hand, is mainly responsible for overseas trade. From Shandong Road to the mouth of the Yangtze River, there are not many patrolling sailors. There is no fixed checkpoint, even if you encounter the Ji family's ship, you often see the Ji family's flag and stop checking it. The main trouble of the Ji family is the bandits, but during the Taizong period, the bandits were exterminated once, and they have not been successful until now. Several bandits are very small in scale, and they don't dare to mess with the Ji family's big ship at all. ”

"After the ship entered the mouth of the Yangtze River, it entered the jurisdiction of the governor of Caoyun. There are only two fixed levels, one in Jiangyin and one in Dantu. However, it is also generally a routine. As soon as the big brand of the Ji family came out, the generals of the Caoyun Navy did not give face. Some of them even boarded the ship to take a look, and some of them were released without looking at it at all. ”

"Is there any sign for the salt shipped by the Ji family?"

"Naturally, there is. The Ji family produces a special salt bag. Needless to say, the salt transported to Miyagi has the seal of the local government. The salt transported to the army in Jiangning has special markings. When a new batch of salt arrives, the bags of the previous batch of salt must be taken back and used repeatedly. ”

Song Zheng's eyes lit up, "That is to say, after the salt is transported to the army, the army will return the last salt bag to the Ji family?" For the next salt shipment? ”

"Exactly."

Song Zheng suppressed his joy, his face did not show at all, but said, "The eldest prince can get the news in such a short time, it is really beyond my expectations." ”

"It's not a secret, it's a lot of it that everyone knows. After a little inquiry, you will know. Mu Yi smiled, "On the contrary, how does Xiaolang's side act?" The eldest prince wants to do a little more to deal with Xiaolang. ”

Song Zheng shook his head, "It's still the same sentence, this matter is borne by me Song Zheng alone." The eldest prince should not be too deeply involved, and he should spend more time dealing with several major families. I've heard that the business of the trading house is not as good as last month. These people are in disobedience, the eldest prince wants to find a way to clean them up, Uncle Lu doesn't have such a big face. ”

"Don't worry, Xiaolang, our own business, the eldest prince will do his best."

"That's good. The eldest prince is in a hurry, and everything depends on Uncle Muduoduo. ”

Mu Yi smiled and nodded, and immediately left. After Song Zheng sent him out of the door, he took Ming'er, Se'er, Erhei, and Huzi to the Chengxi Manor.

————

Along the way, Song Zheng thought about his plan, thought about the manpower, and slowly had a plan in his heart.

Half an hour later, everyone came to the gate of the manor, and Erhei stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who?" The voice inside the door seemed cautious and unusual, with a hint of nervousness, which made Song Zheng feel strange.

"Childe is here, open the door quickly."

The door slowly opened, and Ding Long, who came out, seemed to be relieved when he saw that it was Song Zheng and the others.

Song Zheng nodded lightly, jumped off the horse, Ding Long took the reins, and everyone walked into the gate together.

Song Zheng motioned for Huzi to lead the horse over, and then asked in a low voice, "What happened?" ”

Ding Long replied in a low voice, "Two injured men in black came last night, women, who look very similar, as if they are twin sisters. ”

Song Zheng stopped, "What's the matter?" Tell me more about it. ”

"I came back around noon yesterday and have been practicing martial arts in the manor. The other brothers came back one after another. So much arsenic is so amazing, I don't feel at ease, so I arrange for the brothers to be on duty at night. In the second half of the night, when I was on duty, I heard movement in Childe's room. knocked and woke up the brothers, and also called Shi Ye and Gu Ye up, blocking people in the room. Then I shouted for the man to come out, and the man refused. After a stalemate, I lied that I was going to burn down the house, and the man burst out of the window. That person's kung fu is quite powerful, and he makes tricky moves, if it weren't for Gu Ye, he might be injured if he was another person. In the end, we worked together to capture the man. Only then did I find out that it was a woman in black. After taking down this person, Gu Ye was not at ease, so he asked people to search the entire courtyard to see if there were any other comrades, and sure enough, another injured and unconscious woman was found in the firewood room. Gu Ye tied up the two of them and locked them in the firewood room. Just now, Gu Ye and Shi Ye went in for interrogation. ”
