Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Governor of the Palace

If Lei Leopard is a master of secret agents, then Liu Shouyou is a master among masters. Listening to Shen Chongming's general say everything, this guy grinned, and drove all the more than 100 captains who accompanied him back to Changsha, and followed a caravan to the outside of Changsha City.

"Brother, are you sure that this Shunxiang Trading Company is the property of Jiwangfu?" Looking at the many checkpoints in front of the city gate, Rao is Liu Shou couldn't help but be a little worried. The portraits of himself and Brother Shen must have been painted by the thunderstorm, although they are disguised, as long as the people who have met them are careful, they will definitely notice it.

Originally, according to his own plan, he hid in a box and entered the city, but he ran into this caravan halfway, and Shen Chongming, this kid, had to shout and swagger into the city. Looking at the determined expression on this kid's face, he agreed without knowing what was going on.

Shen Chongming smiled, lowered his voice and said: "This is natural, big brother, Zhu Yiluan can hand over such an important matter as transporting weapons to them, who is this business and trade house that is not his?" ”

Before Liu Shou nodded in agreement, Brother Erdan, who had been watching the situation in front of him with fear, turned around and said, "Two big brothers, look." ”

When the two brothers heard this, they looked up at the same time, and saw that the leader of the caravan was very familiar with the hundred households in front of the city gate, and the whole caravan swaggered into the city without being inspected by the sergeant. Naturally, the four people who seemed to be following behind were also allowed in without discrimination.

He gave another sum of silver, and watched the little leader of the caravan leave satisfied, Shen Chongming said with emotion: "Oh, it seems that this bad thing is all bad in the hands of these people below, so we should take it as a warning." ”

"Hehe, at this time, you can still ponder the affairs of your maritime yamen, but you are not small." Liu Shouyou quipped on the side.

"My lord, what are you doing about these things at this time, let's find a place to hide and talk about it, my subordinates always feel that the people around me are all secret agents." Brother Erdan looked left and right on the side and whispered, the current Changsha City is much more terrifying than the tiger's den.

Brother Erdan's words were reasonable, and the four of them did not delay any longer, and under the leadership of Sikong Wang, they rushed straight to a secret base in Changsha City.

"I said, Brother Sikong, this is your secret base." Looking at the dilapidated mansion, Brother Erdan, who has always had a long idea, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, it turned out that the masters were very embarrassed.

Sikong Wang smiled, opened the door of a side room, and said: "This house is located in the middle of nowhere, and in recent years, there has been a saying that the ghosts of female ghosts are not dispersed. ”

"No one dares to approach within a hundred steps, if we go out to be seen, wouldn't it be even more suspicious, in my opinion, it is better to find a lively inn to live in, when the people are messy, the people of Jiwangfu want to find out that it is not easy." Brother Erdan said insightfully.

"Master Ma rest assured, every time I come here in the past few years, I will dig a hole in the ground, and now I have arrived at the bottom of the stable of the Fortune Inn at the intersection, we will dig it through tonight, and it is convenient to go out." As he spoke, Sikong Wang's hand did not stop, but cleaned the house.

These are all officials of the imperial court, although they are not afraid, but they can't insult other people's identities, and they naturally do this kind of chores.

"The Fortune Inn at the intersection in front?" Brother Erdan's eyes were full of surprise, where this courtyard goes, there is a mile of land, and it is very human to dig such a long tunnel by one person.

Sikong Wang smiled, "It's just narrower, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged the three adults by then." ”

"Okay, it turned out to be your grave robber's kung fu, okay, you have a set." Sikong Wang and Brother Erdan are of the same age, one is arrogant and sometimes shrewd and sometimes confused, and the other is a heroic man who is informal, broad-minded, and gets along day and night along the way, and the relationship between the two has become more and more intimate. So when Brother Erdan speaks, he doesn't have so many scruples.

Sikong looked at Liu Shouyou and Shen Chongming, but just smiled slightly, but he didn't take advantage of him. "Lord Shen, Lord Liu, you rest first, and go out to get some food." With that, he turned around and removed the dilapidated cabinet in the corner, revealing a one-foot-and-five-wide opening.

Seeing Sikong Wang's neat figure drill in, the second egg brother, who was still quite strong, stepped forward to make a gesture, and couldn't help but worry: "My lord, you can't suffocate to death in this drill?" ”

"Well, since you're afraid of suffocation, let's quickly take this shovel and expand it." Shen Chongming also frowned, this hole is too small, and it is only suitable for thin people like Sikong Wang to enter and exit.

"Huh?" Brother Erdan was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Chongming's eyes, and quickly grabbed the shovel that was left aside and got busy.

Fortunately, Sikong Wang is also a normal person, although he followed his father to rob tombs, but the small space also made him uncomfortable, so when he entered the cave about three zhang, the whole cave suddenly widened, and he could tolerate people bending forward.

Covered in mud and dusty, the gray-faced second brother climbed up with the last basket of dirt on his back, "My lord, pour me a glass of water." ”

With such hard work, Shen Chongming naturally wouldn't treat him badly, and directly handed him a jar of water that Sikong Wang had just brought back. "Come, drink more."

Full of wine and food, Brother Erdan can be regarded as relieved, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, Shen Chongming wiped his mouth very casually, got up and said: "It's not early, let's go out and contact the people lurking in the city, it's best to see this palace chief tonight." ”

"My lord, let's go down." Brother Erdan hurriedly got up and said, the situation in the city is tense, and it is too dangerous for adults to go out rashly. And whether the chief official of the palace was really tempted by the 200,000 taels of silver is not certain at the moment, and it is better to be careful in everything.

"Hehe, let's not meet him directly, with Brother Sikong here, is there an ambush around, how can we escape our eyes." Shen Chongming was not afraid.

Liu Shouyou also nodded again and again, "Although it is good to be careful in everything, it is not good to be too cautious, and if you don't put on enough weight, I am afraid that this palace chief will not be easy to comply, so it is most appropriate for this official and Chongming to go in person." ”

The two of them agreed, and Brother Erdan didn't want to say anything, but he scratched his head again and again, and he could still see that he was worried.

"Master Ma, you can rest assured. The younger brother has been in Changsha City for a long time, and he is very familiar with the streets and alleys, so he doesn't dare to say anything else, and he can take everyone out of this night. Sikong Wang's firm words immediately dispelled the concerns in Brother Erdan's heart.

"That's fine, but if you dig a hole, you'll have to escort the two adults out." However, Brother Erdan's words made Sikong Wang quite speechless, how could he seem to be a person who was born to dig holes.

Without any worries, the four of them did not hesitate and carried an oil lamp into the hole.

There are also Jinyi guards lurking in Changsha City, although they have been found out a lot by Lei Leopard in the past few days, but several important dark lines are safe and sound, and the contact with the chief of the palace is Li Dashan, one of these dark lines.

Li Dashan is also an old Jinyi guard, although he is only an agent, but he is a hundred household ranks, not only that, but also Liu Shouyou's direct subordinate, he has always only listened to his dispatch, and even the orders of the commander can be ignored.

So this time, he contacted the chief of the palace, and Liu Shouyou and Shen Chongming were not worried about anything going wrong at all.

Under the leadership of Sikong Wang, a few people drilled the alley directly to the remote Li Ji grocery store, and passed by the people of Jiwangfu several times along the way, all of which were thrilling and dangerous.

In the dead of night, the Li Kee grocery store was also full of smoke, and the strict door panel told others that the store was closed.

knocked on the door, and there was a sound of footsteps inside, shouldering a big matter, Li Dashan had been waiting for Liu Shouyou and Shen Chongming to send someone to contact him these days.

But when he opened the door, he saw that it was Liu Shouyou, Li Dashan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly let everyone in. "My lord, why are you here in person?"

"Hehe, Lao Li, has the matter been done?" Liu Shouyou was not polite to his subordinates, and went straight to the point.

Li Dashan was busy reading tea for everyone, and said: "This palace chief is the cousin of a good friend, and it is easy to pull this line, even if this lion opens his mouth, he has to ask for 200,000 taels of silver to let him fly away, and he is not afraid that more silver will crush him to death." ”

This is not without complaints, although Li Dashan is Liu Shouyou's direct subordinate, but he is a spy with little oil and water, and his meager income is only enough to support his family. This 200,000 taels of silver, he never dared to think about it in his life.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid he wants it, I'm afraid he doesn't want it." Shen Chongming said with a smile, if he didn't want this money, he wouldn't dare to believe him.

"This is ......" Li Dashan had never seen Shen Chongming, so he couldn't help but look at Liu Shouyou and asked.

"Hehe, the famous Shen Chongming, didn't you want to see your dignity a long time ago, you can't recognize this person when you see him."

Li Dashan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Humble Li Dashan, I have admired the prestige of the Lord for a long time, and I am really fortunate to be able to see the Lord today." ”

"Lord Li, hurry up and excuse me, you have worked hard all these years, although you are unknown, but the old man remembers the exploits of your secret agents, and the emperor also remembers it."

Although Shen Chongming's words were not lacking in officialdom, listening to Li Dashan's ears made him can't help but redden. "Serve the country, humble and willing."

"Okay, it's not too late to say this when you celebrate it, you hurry up and arrange it, and this official will meet this palace chief tonight." Liu Shouyou picked up the teacup and said.

Li Dashan hurriedly responded, smiled at a few people, and happily walked out of the grocery store from the back door.

The official position of the governor of the Jiwang Mansion is from eight, although he is on an errand in the Jiwang Mansion, he receives the court's Yulu. When you meet a cowardly Wang Sun noble, you are simply the head of the palace, but when you meet a tough person, there is a chicken rib over there, and on weekdays, she is doing some things to sort out all kinds of documents in the palace, which can be said to be a small role with a low status. And this chief of the Jiwang Mansion is precisely the latter.

This person's surname is Wang Dan, and he has his own small courtyard outside the palace, not far from Li Dashan's grocery store.
