Chapter 55: Information Delivery Tight Gathering
Li Mi made trouble in the middle of the night like a ghost, and almost strangled the family to death, the little maid was so frightened that her face was pale, and the whole Tao family was panicked, thinking that Li Mi brought the evil ghost back to the house, and no one dared to sleep for a while.
The potter had the intention to help Yuan Keli, but when he encountered such a thing, he was a little unhappy in his heart, Li Mi asked Lang Zhong about the situation, and knew that Yuan Keli would not be able to wake up in a short time.
Even if he could wake up, he would not be able to follow him to the prefect's yamen to report the news, let alone invite Chen Heguang over.
Yuan Keli, the general of the horizontal and vertical potter, was offered as a treasure, and even the horseman was not badly served, so Li Mi was relieved, and said goodbye to the potter, so he borrowed an old horse, went on the road alone, and rushed to the prefect's yamen.
Yuan Keli was injured, the information was robbed, and he couldn't tell whether the black-eyed female mute was a human or a ghost, and all the troubles seemed to be piled up and bitten Li Mi's body all at once.
However, Li Mi was not discouraged, even if there was no secret letter and no circumstantial evidence from Yuan Keli, he had to report the situation to Chen Heguang and Song Zhiwei.
After all, the invasion of the Japanese invaders is a major matter of human life, which affects the safety of hundreds of thousands of people along the coast, and his strength alone cannot confirm the truth of the information, cannot make defenses, cannot change the overall situation, and relies on the greater strength of the government is the only choice.
Although the old horse of the Tao family is used to pull the cart, it is stable and suitable for novices like Li Mi, who are not good at horseback riding.
It is very difficult for a modern person to master the art of horseback riding, and even in ancient times, not everyone was qualified to ride a horse, let alone have the conditions to ride a horse.
The reason why the Chinese people built the magnificent Great Wall in ancient times was mainly to resist the nomads in the north, and it was because the Chinese were an agrarian people and lacked war horses.
Li Mi didn't know how to ride a horse, but as the fastest means of transportation in ancient times, horses were the best choice, plus without the guidance of the old coachman, and at night, Li Mi was afraid that he would get lost, and it would inevitably be delayed at that time.
The old horse, who pulls the cart, knows the way, and as soon as he loosens the reins, the old horse will carry him to the bustle of the city center.
Li Mi originally wanted to ask the potter to send him a guide, but he made such a fuss in the Tao family, and the potter's face was not good-looking, and Li Mi did not speak after all.
Fortunately, Li Mi's athletic talent and IQ are not bad, and the old horse is docile and steady.
The government has not yet opened the door, but Li Mi didn't care about it, and when he arrived at the gatehouse, after being woken up by Li Mi, he scolded and walked out.
"Which life-seeking ghost urges, dare to come to the mansion in the morning to play tricks!"
After seeing Li Mi's face clearly, this man was even more annoyed, because Li Mi's affairs in the government were already well known, and he almost got burned and provoked Wang Mude's big trouble to the head of the government office.
Although the prefect Chen Heguang and the official Song Zhiwei are very appreciative of Li Mi, the people in the government are all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Li Mi, and they feel that Li Mi is a troublemaker, where will they give him a good face!
"It turned out to be Xiao Li catching the head, is there something big to report this time?" The man said with a joking face, and couldn't help but look at the horse behind Li Mi.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a great shortage of horses, because there were no large number of cavalry troops, so when they fought, they suffered enough losses and were bullied.
In the Yuan Dynasty, because the Mongols ruled the world, there were naturally more horses, and in the Ming Dynasty, there would be no shortage of horses.
Because the territory of the Ming Dynasty was much larger than that of the Song Dynasty, and there was no shortage of horse farms, when Chengzu Zhu Di raised his troops to appease, he used the power of foreign cavalry such as Duoyan Sanwei.
The Ming Dynasty also attached great importance to horse politics, so horses would not be scarce.
Horses and copper and iron are all strategic materials for war readiness, which are rarely seen by the people.
But even so, Li Mi rode over on this horse, and still made the manzi's eyes light up and stared at him for a long time.
Li Mike was entangled with Menzi, took out a few silver bills from his body, stuffed them into Menzi's hands, and said solemnly.
"If the prefect doesn't want to see him, he will turn around and leave, and he will never bother the old brother!"
The so-called money can make ghosts grind, not to mention that Li Mi has a convincing majesty in his bones, so the door is embarrassed.
As a doorman, he is not a simple watchdog, he must know how to observe words and feelings, he must know how to weigh the gains and losses of the rich and the poor, who should refuse thousands of miles, who should welcome the driver, who should procrastinate, etc., all have a deep knowledge in it.
People say that the prime minister's concierge is a seven-grade official, which is not only about a person who has attained the Tao and a chicken dog ascending to heaven, but also shows that the concierge must have a comprehensive quality that is not weak, and he must be a clever person to take responsibility.
This man can become the doorman of the Suzhou Mansion, naturally he is not a mediocre person, at least in terms of human sophistication, he will never be stunned.
Although it is really difficult to wake up the prefect on these four watches, there is a reason for the incident, and there is a priority, the situation in Suzhou is extremely complicated, and the prefect is often woken up in the middle of the night, just to get up and solve various emergencies.
Therefore, the man didn't say anything more why, stuffed the silver coin into his sleeve, and then shrunk his neck and walked quickly to the back house.
After about half an hour, the east has begun to shine, the morning sun dyed the clouds red and yellow, and inlaid the clouds with gold edges, Chen Heguang asked Menzi to bring Li Mi into the palace.
In the flower hall, Chen Heguang was only wearing loose and idle clothes, and when he saw Li Mi, he frowned a little and asked Li Mi.
"Come here so early, isn't there new progress in the fine work of those would-be robbers?"
When Li Mi heard this, he felt a little at ease, after all, Chen Heguang seemed to be lazy, but in fact, he was also very concerned about this matter, perhaps because he had an agreement with Wang Mude, because he did not want to be left behind.
Even so, Li Mi also got straight to the point and said: "My lord Mingjian, it is indeed a new development, but it is more important than the things that the Japanese have done carefully. ”
"Earlier in the investigation of Zhang's case, the villain once happened to get a cardinal letterbox that hid the secret report, but this letterhead was too delicate to be unraveled for a while, these days with the help of Xiang Mu Laozhongshu, sleepless for several days, only then did it be unraveled, and a secret letter was obtained, but it was a plan for the Japanese to prepare to invade Lu Yanji!"
Li Mi did not hide anything, and told Chen Heguang about the key information such as time and place, as well as how to obtain the secret letter, and the authenticity of the secret letter to be verified.
Chen Heguang was originally sleepy-eyed, and he still had on his eyes, if it weren't for Li Mi's great contribution to this matter, he wouldn't have bothered to get up to meet Li Mi.
Now that I heard that such a thing had happened, the whole person was like cold water poured on his head, and he suddenly woke up!
The invasion of the Japanese and the incursion of the Japanese in the city are completely different things, and the severity is heaven and earth!
After all, it is not strange for the Japanese to lurk in the inland, and it is not strange to make waves from time to time, but the Japanese have not dared to invade the inland on a large scale for many years!
After the heavy blow of the Qi family's army, the vitality of the Japanese Invaders was greatly damaged, almost to the point of not one in ten, and there were only a handful of the remaining Japanese Kou organizations with the power of a battle.
Even so, they only dare to hide on isolated islands, rob passing ships, or make a co-ordination with pirates from other countries such as Franco, and go to the coast to plunder and flee, not so much robbing as stealing.
Under such circumstances, the survival situation of the Japanese is not very optimistic, and if they cannot land on the shore, they will not get enough supplies, whether it is supplies or personnel.
Therefore, the Japanese invaders gradually declined, coupled with the strict coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty, the coastal areas established a perfect response mechanism, and in the past ten years, almost no Japanese invaders dared to invade the coast on a large scale.
This is also one of the reasons why Suzhou and other places are still prosperous, and gradually return to a luxurious life, because without the invasion of the Japanese bandits, the common people gradually heal their scars and forget the pain.
However, Li Mi brought such information at this time, and how could Chen Heguang not be shocked!
As a shepherd, although Chen Heguang looked at the council, he was still very clear about the things within his jurisdiction.
The pirates are only afraid that they are licking their wounds and accumulating strength, and one day, they will definitely make a comeback, because they are thieves in their bones, and they have nothing to live except burning, killing, looting, raping and plundering.
It's just that Chen Heguang didn't expect that such a critical piece of information would fall into the hands of Li Mi!
Because none of the guards on the coastal frontier have issued alarms, let alone any news from the military, the authenticity of this information is indeed as Li Mi said, and it needs to be further confirmed.
Chen Heguang quickly asked Song Zhiwei to come over, and asked Li Mi to tell the matter as it was, Song Zhiwei's attitude was the same as Chen Heguang.
Seeing that the day is approaching, if we want to confirm the authenticity of the information, we must speed up and implement it quickly, otherwise once the information is true, we will not be able to take a defense in time, and the situation will be serious!
Because of the work with Wang Mude's people to deal with the affairs of the Japanese invaders, Chen Heguang and Song Zhiwei did not hide it from Wang Mude, and after a while, they asked the eunuch to come over.
Thanks to Li Mi's map analysis method, they captured dozens of Japanese Kou Zuo, in the "Chengping Era" when the Wai Kou did not dare to invade, it was a very great credit to be able to capture so many enemies, Wang Mude was complacent, but he didn't expect Li Mi's trouble to come again!
Seeing Li Mi, Wang Mude's face was difficult to look at, because no one dared to be so disrespectful to him, whether he was serving the nobles of Tianhuang in the palace or delegating the town to guard the side.
The partial birth of Li Mi is such a small catcher, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it almost threatens his Wang Mude's life, and it makes him lose face, although his face is kind, but he has already gritted his teeth and hates Li Mi in his heart!
