Chapter 424: Covert Investigation

It has been seven years since I came to this era for no reason, and I have been careful all the time, and I dare not reveal thoughts and emotions that do not conform to this era.

On the contrary, he tried to quickly integrate himself into this era, not only in terms of language habits, living habits, but also customs and thoughts.

How he came to this era, he himself knows nothing, but if he wants to survive, he can't be too different, otherwise there is only one way to die.

Although a lot of things and a lot of knowledge he pretended to be from the wandering Taoist, but if someone investigates deeply, there are still many loopholes in that statement, and it is easy to debunk him.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the sailing route of the fleet, can a wanderer cross the ocean? He dared to go all the way east from the southernmost tip of the Tianzhu Continent, not afraid of losing his way and not being able to return to the Great Song Dynasty? Mo said that people don't dare, even those who have been begging for a living at sea for years and months don't dare. The loopholes in this are too big, and it is impossible to get out of that sea route with the existing maps of this era.

If someone grasps this issue and investigates it deeply, Yang Congyi is afraid that he will be regarded as a madman, but fortunately, Master Dai, Lord Huang, and all the principals involved in Huiyi have never been to sea, they have not seen many charts, and they can't refute them, and the old sailors and helmsmen who have really gone to sea have no chance to participate in decision-making because of their status.

Undoubtedly, Yang Congyi was lucky, because no one interfered with the itinerary and route decisions, and the fleet's adventure was successful. But if he goes again, he can't guarantee whether the fleet can come back safely, he can't control the wind and waves at sea, and he can't control some human interference factors.

There is only one adventure, there is not much loss, and it is far away at sea, so no one will study it deeply, but now he is in Lin'an, there are many people here, there are many idlers, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may be targeted, once you chase it, I'm afraid he will be exposed.

However, fortunately, the uncle has left Huangmei County, and it is impossible for anyone to find out his origin. Moreover, after the Jingkang Rebellion, countless northerners could not escape, their families were ruined, and there was no way to check the origin of their origins.

But it's best to be careful in everything, and not to be noticed by others.

There are still too few miscellaneous books in the study, so if you have time, you should go to the bookstore and buy some books back, the more the better.

Qingchen looked at the limited books on the shelf, took a book casually, flipped through it a few times, and put it back in place without interest, she was not too literate, and she grew up with far more sword time than literacy, and without the habit of reading, she naturally couldn't develop a hobby of reading.

After saying the right thing, Yang Congyi took out a money bag and handed it to Qingchen, telling her that it was two months' money, a total of sixty yuan.

There is money to take, and Qingchen is naturally happy.

After receiving the money bag in her hand, she did not put it away immediately, but picked it up a little on the table and left it for Yang Congyi to use for daily entertainment.

Yang Congyi didn't refuse, nor was he too little, so he quickly put it away in person. And told Qingchen that when he was putting the ya, he met two old people who went to sea together, and the two of them happened to be in Lin'an, and when they were on their rest day, they wanted to get together and have a drink.

When Qingchen asked if the money was enough, could Yang Congyi say that it was not enough?

But how can two dollars be?

There are few too cheap wine in Lin'an City, even if there is, it is also in a remote alley, the environment is poor, and the wine is turbid, how to say that he is also an official, and it is very embarrassing to entertain guests in such places.

But a little passable, a small meal of wine and small dishes, without four or five yuan of money is not enough, fortunately he still has some private money, that is in addition to the monthly income travel expenses and minister's money, but also a lot of income, it is enough to invite people to eat a few meals.

By the time the two of them went out of the study, the sun had completely set.

After taking a dip in the courtyard for half an hour, and then washing up, it was already dark.

Back in the room, the two naturally have to work hard for the birth of a child, they are no longer a newlywed couple who are immature and new to personnel, although with a task, but also to take into account the feelings, with the cooperation of the two, do not forget to enjoy the fun of husband and wife, until exhausted, do not stop.

Qingchen is very satisfied, and she is full of expectations for conceiving a child.

And Yang Congyi is downplayed, after so many times, Qingchen still can't conceive, most of it is because of his physical problems, whether he can inherit the lineage, he doesn't care at all.

The moon sets, the sun is born, and another day comes.

The former secretary of the palace commanded the envoy Yamenli, and the general was reporting the results of the investigation to Yang Cunzhong.

The last general combed through his relationship in Lin'an in the past few days, and finally found some people who had contact with him. Among the people he came into contact with were ordinary people, officials, and even students. ”

"Ordinary people don't talk about it, focus on officials, and students." Yang Cunzhong didn't raise his head, looking at the copywriting in his hand, his face full of worry.

"Yes, sir. After combing, in addition to the front division of the palace, there are five officials in Beijing who have some relationship with him, and the first is the inner servant Huang, who has been on an errand with Huang for three years, has a deep relationship, and has not seen him for a year. The second is Lord Dai, the right attendant of the household department, who escorted him to envoy Li Yue during the return to Yi, and the relationship between the two should be okay, but they haven't seen each other for a year, and they haven't been in contact again. Next came the Privy Council's Decree Ho, who had met separately in Quang Nam last year, and had not seen each other again since returning to Lin'an. Then there is the Ministry of Rites Lang out of Quanzhou Chen Lord, Chen is the elder brother of Huizhou Governor Chen Ruyi, and he entered Lin'an Martial Arts School was recommended by Chen Ruyi, the then Anqing Army Governor, whether there are correspondence between them over the years, can not be verified, whether he has seen Chen in Quanzhou, can not be verified in a short period of time. Finally, there is Master Huang Chen, a doctor of martial arts, who has been studying martial arts for a year and a half, and has some friendship with Lord Huang, but he has not seen him for more than three years. ”

After the school finished speaking, he paused slightly, and seeing that Yang Cunzhong did not speak, he continued to report: "As for the Tai student, there are only two people who really have a relationship with him, both of whom have followed him to the sea, and they have not met again since they came back last year, and they just met last night, one of the two is called Shen Jin, and the other is called Jiang Kai, of which Jiang Kai is a first-class jinshi in Jinke, and he is waiting for the official to be dispatched, and the other person is off the list." ”

Yang Cunzhong's eyes were still looking at the copywriting in his hand, and he didn't say a word.

The general didn't know what it meant, so he had to continue: "In addition to these relationships, there are only the officials in the front of the palace. Errand grinding investigation case Feng Chen, every morning in front of the door waiting for Ying Mao, the two of them will have some chat, are inconsequential matters, military case Sun Miao and him in the same office office, the relationship was good before, before leaving Lin'an to go to western Zhejiang, Fujian, it was with him to drink once, talking about meritorious verification, he mainly asked for advice. In addition, in the entire city of Lin'an, he has no other relationship with other officials, and there is no intersection. ”

"Okay, in addition to the network, the cost and source of money, is there a problem?" Yang Cunzhong finally spoke, but his eyes were still on the copywriting in his hand.

The general immediately replied: "The cost is very small, according to the observation of the past few days, he took a car into the city early in the morning to work, and went home directly from the city after leaving the government, and never stayed in the city." In addition to him, there are three people in his family, a wife, a maid and a coachman, his wife hardly goes out, and the things that the maid buys are mainly vegetables, and occasionally buy a fish, which costs less than forty yuan a day. ”

"Are you really so frugal?" Yang Cunzhong put down his hand on the Chinese case, raised his eyes and asked, seemingly disbelieving what the general said.

"Yes, the last general sent men to watch him day and night outside his house. It is reported that the purchases are all made by twelve or thirteen-year-old maids, who are less vigilant, and they can observe at a close distance, no more than a foot away, and see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears. ”

"You've seen his wife, do you know where she came from?" Yang Cunzhong asked again.

He wanted to investigate Yang Congyi clearly, if there was really no problem, then he could be given a chance, rest assured, there are still too few young people available at the moment, and he is a good seedling, he can really cultivate talents, and it will be a wealth for the front division of the palace.

The general replied: "I haven't seen it, I only heard the innkeeper say that his wife is about twenty years old, judging from his behavior, unlike a newlywed, from his experience over the years, the time of marriage should be before going to sea with the ship, and his wife has lived in Quanzhou for at least three years, according to the innkeeper, his wife's accent is not like a Quanzhou person, where is the specific source, he can't be sure, it is likely to be from Jiangxi or Huaixi." The last general has found out this information so far. ”

"Okay, it's already more detailed. It would be best if you could investigate his wife's background clearly, but don't be brutal, just investigate secretly. After Yang Cunzhong explained the task, he carefully advised.

"Yes, sir." The school will be respectful.

Yang Congyi is the person he wants to use, since it seems that he has no big problem at present, he can try to use it, if he is detected by him because of the investigation of his wife, and thus has a suspicion, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to be honest in the future.

The selection of outstanding generals and the whole army to teach and read, involving all the forbidden troops under the command of the front division of the palace except for the forbidden army of Gongwei Lin'an, each army commands a force, thirty or forty forbidden troops, gathered together is close to 20,000 people, the army is very complicated, if there is no outstanding military achievements or senior generals to command, to deter, when the time comes, there will be chaos, I am afraid that it will be more effective.

Yang Cunzhong himself can't leave Lin'an, there are people with deep qualifications in the forbidden army, but they are all under the command of one army, one has not commanded more than 20,000 people, and the other cannot leave the forbidden army for a long time, and the whole army can't find a commander in actual combat confrontation drills, so that's not good.

After presenting the charter to the emperor that day, Yang Cunzhong remembered that he had ignored this problem in the charter, and he had been thinking of a solution for the past few days.
