In Bao'an City, there is a shop that specializes in selling various spices from the Nanyang Islands. The owner of the shop is named Singh, claiming to be from India and also has a picture of the Indian people that everyone knows, because India has been in turmoil over the years, so he came to Daming to do business, and the store enshrines the three generations of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva of Guanzi.

There is a lot of business in this store, and there are many people who come and go every day, and the proprietor and the guys in the store are busy all day, and it is rare to see them serving customers in front of the store. However, spices were still expensive when they first opened the sea, and now four years later, they have become affordable for ordinary middle-class families, and they all rely on large quantities to make money, so other shop owners will not be jealous of him.

On this day, Singh had just finished a business of thousands of catties of peppercorns, and was sitting on a chair resting, when he suddenly heard a person say: "Singh Dongjia, so leisurely? ”

Singer's face changed slightly when he heard this voice, and he turned his head to the person who made the voice and said, "It's Grieg, and you're here to buy spices again?" Didn't you buy twenty pounds last time? Running out now? ”

"Well," said the man who was called Grieg, "there are many people in the house, and there are many people, so there are more people in this spice." No, twenty pounds are used up. Come buy some more. ”

"You better buy more at a time, although they are not close to each other in the same city." Singh said.

Hearing this, the guy from another shop next to Singh's shop looked up at them: "Singh's words just now are not quite right, how can a store talk to a customer like that?" Although he also knew this man named Grieg, and every once in a while he would come to Singh's shop to buy spices, and the two were very familiar with each other, but they couldn't talk like that.

'Even if Grigg has had some friendship for more than a year, he has to say a few words, right?' The guy thought to himself.

But he didn't expect that Grig didn't react to this, and still didn't care, and followed Singh into the store to weigh the spices.

As soon as he entered the room where the spices were kept, Singh lowered his face, first ordered a 'fellow' to go out and watch, and then said to Grieg: "What are you doing here today, didn't you tell you not to come to me often?" ”

"Aga (the honorific title for superiors or elders in the Great Food Language and Turkic language families), when I thought that Su Dongli was using witchcraft to assassinate the emperor of the Ming Kingdom in the city of Guangzhou, I couldn't help but want to know the result immediately, so I ran over to ask." Grieg said.

Singh sighed and said, "Okay, I'll tell you this time, but I won't take it as an example, and I can't ask about it next time when I don't have anything important." ”

After Grieg agreed, he continued: "The news that came the day before yesterday, Su Dongli has almost prepared, the mage named Ude has also made a move, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is already unconscious, and the Ude plans to cast another spell to completely kill the emperor of the Ming Kingdom." ”

"What I have to worry about now is whether the mage of the Ming Kingdom has the ability or not. Although this Oude is already the mage with the strongest mana and the most mysterious spell I have ever seen, it is hard to say whether he can be more powerful than the mage of the Ming Kingdom. The Ming Kingdom is also a vast area and a large population, which should not be underestimated. ”

This is the base of the Timurid Khanate's intelligence agency in the Ming state of Bao'an, and Singh is the head of the place. Because the intelligence agencies often have people coming in and out, they can't choose to buy and sell too highly, so it's strange that people often come to buy things, so they choose the spice business as a cover, and it is also an important source of funds for their daily activities.

"Hey, hurry up and have a result, whether it is success or failure, the province hangs like this every day." Grieg said.

Singh actually thought the same as Grieg, and he didn't feel comfortable hanging like this, but as the person in charge here, of course he couldn't talk like that. "How can you talk like that, it will naturally be successful. In this way, it will be much easier for the Great Khan to conquer the Ming Kingdom in the future. ”

I heard that the crown prince of the state is only four years old now, and according to their Khitan people, five years old, very young. ”

"In the history of the Khitans, it is not uncommon for such a small child to sit on the throne, but without exception, in order to ensure the stability of the country, the military power of the border generals will be weakened, and the canonized vassal king will not be revoked for the sake of stability, but he will not continue to support it, so even if there is no domestic turmoil in the Ming Kingdom, it will be much easier for the Great Khan to enter the Ming Kingdom."

People like Singh were very superstitious about Timur's abilities, believing that he was invincible and that no one could stop him.

But he also did not believe that Timur was immortal. At this time, the Heavenly Sect paid more attention to science and the laws of nature than the Cross Religion, and the level of science and technology was higher than that of the Cross Religion, and the degree of superstition was lower in general. Timur is already in his sixties this year, and it is difficult to say how many more years he can live, to be honest, maybe now that Timur has passed away, they don't know yet!

If the Ming Kingdom resisted for a few more years and Timur died of illness before the great cause was achieved, then how sorry the Great Khan would be. Therefore, no matter how great his confidence in Timur is, he hopes that the resistance of the Ming Kingdom will be weaker, so that the Great Khan can fulfill his long-cherished wish as soon as possible.

Grieg was taught a lesson by him, and he didn't dare to talk about this topic anymore, so he said instead: "Ah Jia, if the emperor of the Ming Kingdom dies, I am afraid that he will be searched and arrested in the whole city, so it is better to order Su Dongli to withdraw from Guangzhou City now, in case he is caught in the city's great search." ”

"I've already commanded this. Su Dongli's own life would have been a well-deserved death if he had dedicated himself to the great cause of the Great Khan, but I am afraid that things will be worse if he is captured. If his mouth was pried open, it would be terrible. Singh said. Of course, Su Dongli can't know everyone in the intelligence system of Mingguo, but he knows the person in charge of several lines, if he confesses, Mingguo can immediately catch these people, and then confess layer by layer, and finally dig out the entire intelligence network.

Singh was talking, when suddenly the voice of the guy he brought from India came from outside the store and said: "A few officials, what are you doing in the shop, it's not the end of the year yet, it's not the time to check taxes." Hey, a few officials, how do you break in? Hey, hey! ”

Grieg was a little stunned: "Although the police in Mingguo will also eat and take cards, they usually don't break into the store, right?" ”

Singh was quick to react, slammed the door shut, and was about to light a fire on the paperwork on the table.

But at this time, the people of the Ming Kingdom had already broken into the door, and after pushing it a few times, he heard a loud "click" sound, and a small hole had appeared in the door.

Singh was anxious, and while burning these, he picked up a document and stuffed it into Grieg's hand and said, "Eat it!" ”

Grieg had already reacted at this time, and the person who could be sent out to do intelligence work was not too stupid, so he took the document and ate it.

But at this moment, there was a loud "click", and a "bang" was heard, and the door was kicked open.

Instead of looking back at the door that had been kicked open, Singh burned the paperwork more anxiously. Then came from behind him, "Stop! He ignored the shouts and continued to burn. But then a heavy object hit his head, and he immediately fell to the ground.

There was another sound, and Grieg fell to the ground, with half an uneaten piece of paper in his mouth.

The man standing next to Singh's body stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, put down the axe in his hand, and commanded loudly: "Immediately put away all the papers with words written here, whether they are Chinese or foreign, and not a single one of them shall be destroyed." ”

These people are the people who came to raid the Timurid Khanate's intelligence network in the Ming Dynasty. This person is the person in charge of Jinyiwei in Dongguan County, named Yang Quan. Yesterday, news came from the Guangzhou Prefecture that they went to Bao'an City to raid a few merchants.

Although Yang Quan didn't have any inside information, he immediately guessed that it was related to the case of harvesting and cutting or witch Gu that happened in Guangzhou a few days ago. Or a foreign businessman.

Yang Quan immediately ordered all his men and came to Bao'an City; It had only been an hour since the city had repaired, and Zhang Yanfang personally came over to convey the order to them, asking them to act immediately.

Yang Quan and his men put on police clothes and followed the guide of the city to find Singh's shop, and everyone rushed in after they were ready.

Yang Quan guessed that there might be some secret room in the store, even if there was no secret room, the door could be locked, so he brought an axe and prepared to use the axe to cut it open if he encountered such a situation. He was just prepared, but he didn't expect to use it.

Yang Quan himself commanded the words, reached out and helped Singh and Grigg up one after another, handcuffed and shackled, and mouthed, and found two people to carry them to the car.

At this time, all the paper with words in the house has been collected, Yang Quan himself checked it several times, and took out all the papers with words in the other rooms and put them into the car, and saw that all the guys in the store had been tied up and loaded into the car, and said with a wave of his hand: "Go back and send it to the Yamen of Bao'an City." ”

……

……

On the same day, in the entire Bao'an City, seven or eight shops such a thing happened; At the same time, there were also several families in Guangzhou that were broken into and searched by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. All the people who were arrested and the pieces of paper that were searched were finally collected here in Guangdong. Because the highest judicial organ in the Guangdong region is the Guangdong Prosecutor's Office, although Yun Xi felt that the case was relatively easy for the Guangzhou Police Department to handle, it was not easy to hand it over to Qian Minglin; However, although the Guangdong Prosecutor's Department is nominally in charge of the case, it will most likely hand over most of the matters to the General Police Department.

After repeated sorting and interrogation, the Guangdong Prosecutor's Office, the Guangzhou Police General Station, and the Guangzhou Jinyi Wei Yamen compiled the information obtained from the paper and the confessions they asked into a document and sent it to Yun Xi three days later.
