After a while, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man returned again: "Boss, that kid doesn't have any useful information in his mouth, just a wanderer who helps people deliver letters, someone asks him to send a letter to that person with half a piece of money, and then pays half a piece of money after the matter is completed, it's so simple, it's the same as the result of the person we caught last time!" ”

A man who looked like a dog-headed military advisor next to him said gloomily: "This Zhen Qian is really strange, normal letters are written like this, and this is the first time I have seen ......."

"Shut up! Don't mention the name again until you have investigated it, remember? ”

"Remember!"

The dog-headed military advisor pursed his lips, and said with a face of inaction: "Hao Ren, if the general hadn't discovered something strange, I'm afraid that our team would have been implicated, why don't we arrest him quietly, and it's not easy to know under severe punishment, do you need to sneak behind him?" ”

The stout and burly man turned out to be Hao Ren, whom Zhen Qian knew, I am afraid that Zhen Qian himself never dreamed that the person who followed him was an old acquaintance.

Zhen Qian had already discovered the person who was following him, but none of the guards around him knew Hao Ren, so naturally they did not tell Zhen Qian this most important information.

Hao Ren snorted coldly and said: "If you want to arrest you, don't want me to give an order, don't forget that he also has an official status, before the matter is clear, if anyone makes things out of control, go and explain to the general yourself!" ”

Hao Ren's words made the dog-headed military advisor shut his mouth in amusement, although the dog-headed military advisor is not low-level, he does not have the power to order the arrest of people, and he wants to instigate Hao Ren, this kind of careful thinking will naturally not escape Hao Ren's eyes.

"Boss, what should I do next, can I really follow them to Yangzhou?"

The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks was a little reluctant, and anyone who went out during the festival felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to speak, so he could only ask cautiously.

Hao Ren also had a headache, if he changed someone, it wouldn't be so difficult, he directly ordered to arrest someone, in private he had a good relationship with Zhen Qian, and sent his son to the regimental training camp, but he didn't expect that the object of this investigation turned out to be Zhen Qian, which made Hao Ren a little dilemma.

But these are not the most important reasons, even if it is his own father, if he wants to let himself check, Hao Ren will unscrupulously find out the matter. But this time the task was different, just let Hao Ren collect Zhen Qian's information, and did not say the seriousness of the matter, but asked himself not to startle the snake.

This is equivalent to tying Hao Ren's hands and feet, and he can only investigate secretly, and he can't alarm Zhen Qian, which makes Hao Ren worried.

Hao Ren didn't even know why he suddenly investigated Zhen Qian, but no one dared to raise the slightest objection to the general's order, since he let him investigate, let's investigate!

However, after more than ten days of meticulous investigation, Hao Ren found many intriguing points from some clues, such as Zhen Qian's letters, many of which seem extremely ordinary, so ordinary that people will not be interested in the slightest. However, in the eyes of others, it seems to be an extremely ordinary letter, but it has attracted Hao Ren's attention, something abnormal must be a demon, letters are not only ordinary but also very frequent, and it is this that makes Hao Ren feel inexplicably surprised.

Correspondence was very common in the eyes of later generations, but it was another thing in the Tang Dynasty, the transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, there was no post office, and there was no person who specialized in delivering letters.

If ordinary people really have something, the correspondence is generally through two ways, one is that the family will personally deliver the letter to the recipient, this way is a short distance is easy to say, the distance between them is extremely troublesome, equivalent to a long trip in ancient times, the cost is naturally high scary, usually do not choose this way to deliver letters.

The second way is to ask someone to bring the letter to a certain place, and the person entrusted to the letter also happens to pass through this place, which can be regarded as a stopover! But this kind of person is difficult to find, and you have to trust someone, not everyone is willing to have the time to help you carry the letter, and you have to pay a sum of money.

So in ancient times, it was very troublesome to send a letter, and few people wrote letters to each other to play, even a wealthy family would not do such a boring thing.

However, Hao Ren found that Zhen Qian's correspondence was a bit too much, and after quietly intercepting a few letters, he found that the contents of the letters were mostly mutual greetings, or they involved some local events and market prices. At first, Hao Ren thought that Zhen Qian was collecting market information between various places, but he soon found that he had no business in this area, and he had no intention of getting involved in the short term, and this kind of thing seemed incredible.

Many big families have special intelligence collectors, the question is that Zhen Qian has just gained a foothold in Luquan County, is it necessary to do so?

In the past, Hao Ren's impression of Zhen Qian stayed on the person, and he didn't pay much attention to Zhen Gan's actions, and he didn't know much about this person who had just come to Luquan County, and there were really not many things about Zhen Qian in the monthly routine report of information, maybe it was because of the darkness under the lights, and he suddenly began to investigate Zhen Qian, only to find that he had developed into a scale in a year, which really scared Hao Ren.

I didn't know what Zhen Qian was doing before, but I heard that there were some industries in Luquan County, and he was a rich man who was not big or small!

But as the investigation gradually deepened, Zhen Qian's veil was lifted, which really scared Hao Ren.

There are no less than four drunken immortal buildings in various places, 40,000 buckets of turbid wine were purchased from other liquor shops last year, and more than 30,000 stones of grain are traded every year, and the money village in Luquan County has covered several small county towns around it, and the number of slaves recorded in the county government is as high as more than 200 people, and the land under the name is more than 4,000 mu, as well as a small lake and mountain forest, all of which make Hao Ren feel frightened, which is not much smaller than the scale of some century-old families, and these are all completed by Zhen Qian within a year.

The information in Hao Ren's hands is still the tip of the iceberg, if Hao Ren is allowed to investigate further, there will be new discoveries, but this has already shocked Hao Ren.

"Why did the general notice a small squire in Luquan County?"

What makes Hao Ren even more puzzled and passive is that Zhen Qian can be said to be very low-key in Luquan County, and it is not an exaggeration to go deep and simple, in fact, most people in Luquan County have such a feeling, why did it attract the attention of the general who was far away in the capital, this is obviously unreasonable.

Of course, Hao Ren and Zhen Qian didn't know, all of this was caused by the glass treasure mirror, Hao Ren also knew about Zhen Qian's offering of the glass treasure mirror, but he didn't think about Xiangrui at all, so this matter was not reported, which caused Hao Ren's passivity.
