He Nan walked out of the house quickly, and one of his subordinates handed over a carrier pigeon, and there was a reed pipe on the pigeon's leg, he tore off the reed pipe and took out a tissue paper roll from it, opened it and looked at it carefully.

He Nan's heart suddenly became nervous, there was no military deployment in the pigeon letter, which means that there is likely to be a carrier pigeon deployed in the military.

Originally, there was only He Nan, the intelligence department, which was also the intelligence network of the original Liao State, who was responsible for collecting intelligence and bribing high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty.

Three months ago, the Jin military sent more than 100 people to infiltrate Bianliang, Tokyo, and these more than 100 people were not in the same system as He Nan, nor were they under the jurisdiction of He Nan.

But the battle has been fierce in the past few days, and there must have been important information transmission from the army, but he did not receive news from the military, and a professional sensitivity told him that this time the Jin Kingdom must have sent two carrier pigeons, and now the Song army is making every effort to control it, and it is too dangerous for carrier pigeons to fly into the city.

"He Ye, what should I do now?" One of his men asked in a low voice.

He Nan immediately decided: "Slaughter this carrier pigeon, throw it into the stove and burn it, and you are not allowed to leave any hair!" ”

"Obey!" The men hurried to the kitchen with carrier pigeons.

He Nan said to the other two: "Put the box back in its place, be careful not to see the traces!" ”

"Isn't He Ye going out with a box at night?"

He Nan was supposed to visit an important courtier tonight, but a carrier pigeon disrupted his plans, so that he did not dare to act rashly for the past two days.

"Don't worry so much, put the box back first, go quickly!"

The two subordinates hurriedly went to carry the box again, He Nan thought about it, he had to erase all traces immediately, but what made him glad was that the more than 100 military officials did not know about this inn, this was what he had left in his heart, and only told the other party a small grocery store contact point, and other information points were all concealed, just for fear that these guys would harm their own big things.

At this time, He Nan suddenly remembered that a letter needed to be burned immediately, and he hurriedly walked to his room.

.........

The newly established Intelligence Department is subordinate to the Ministry of War, and is directly managed by Li Gang, who is also the head of the Ministry of War, and the location of the Intelligence Department is the former Laoshangshu Province, that is, the military prison where Li Yanqing stayed in those years.

In a room on the second floor of the Intelligence Division, a head of the capital was eagerly saying to Zhang Hu, who had joined the army: "Brother Tiger, I can see it very clearly, it is indeed two pigeons, I don't know if they are carrier pigeons, but they look very good, I suspect that they are carrier pigeons." ”

Zhang Hu glared at him angrily, "What are you talking about this now, will the pigeon stop in mid-air and wait for you to fly again?" ”

"Brother Tiger, brother, don't you know what I do, if I don't leave some back, I'll come here?"

Zhang Hu suddenly turned his anger into joy, and casually punched Du's head and shoulders, "Why don't you say it earlier, go quickly!" Come on! ”

Zhang Hu and more than 100 of his subordinates had just left the yamen of the Intelligence Department, and the people sent to follow the pigeons came back, and the soldiers said a few words to the capital, and their faces were dark, and they were speechless for a long time.

"What, lost it?" Zhang Hu's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw Du Tou's expression.

Du Tou smiled bitterly and said, "I lost one." ”

"And where is the other one?" Zhang Hu asked.

"In.... Learn in Taixue! ”

Zhang Hu was stunned, he actually fell into Taixue, isn't it a spy of the Jin Kingdom, but just a carrier pigeon raised by the Taixue himself?

Although a pigeon ban has been issued five days ago, it is strictly forbidden to release pigeons and eagles in the capital, but after all, the time of the pigeon ban is too short, and many people may not be willing to obey, but what makes Zhang Hu more difficult is that there are many young students in Taixue, and it is really not good to go to a large-scale investigation, he thought about it, and then recruited five capable subordinates to whisper a few words to them, and the five of them bowed and saluted, turned around and rushed in the direction of Taixue.

Zhang Hu suddenly had a little aftertaste, there were basically no pigeons in the five days of the ban on pigeons, and today suddenly two flew in, it is very likely that it is a carrier pigeon, and he really can't be too careless.

"Where else did a pigeon go?" Zhang Hu asked again.

"Another one flew to the area of Daxiangguo Temple, but it was blocked by the temple at that time, and the brothers were no longer visible when they ran over."

Then it should be near Daxiangguo Temple, Zhang Hu scratched his head a little, there are at least a few thousand households over there, how to check?

At this moment, Li Gang hurried over with a few entourages, "Zhang joined the army, I heard that you found a carrier pigeon?" Li Gang asked eagerly.

This morning, the official family was still asking about his detailed investigation, which made Li Gang feel tremendous pressure, and he had not gained anything in the past few days, and it was easy to hear a clue today.

"From all aspects, I also feel that it is more likely to be a carrier pigeon."

"Have you tracked the whereabouts of the two pigeons?" Li Gang asked anxiously again.

"A pigeon landed in Taixue, I have sent someone to secretly investigate, and the other pigeon landed in the area of Daxiangguo Temple, which family does not know."

Li Gang only groaned slightly, and immediately made a decision, "The one in Taixue continues to investigate, and the one in Daxiangguo Temple immediately spreads out all the people to search, and a heavy reward is offered, whoever finds this carrier pigeon where it lands, will be rewarded with a thousand yuan." ”

"I understand the humble position, it's just that the area around the Great Xiangguo Temple is too large, and we may be a little short of manpower, if we can have another thousand soldiers....."

Li Gang nodded, "I'll figure out a way to deal with the manpower matter, you go and arrange it first!" ”

........

Li Gang went directly to Li Yanqing, Zhang Hu was also Li Yanqing's personal soldier leader, the most trusted subordinate, wouldn't it be more convenient for Zhang Hu to go to ask for soldiers?

This involves a rule issue, this is not a trivial matter of personal relations, but a business-to-business matter, Zhang Hu obviously has no qualifications to go to Li Yanqing, but it will make people criticize Li Gang for not understanding the rules, which will anger Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing was also very happy, and immediately approved 2,000 soldiers to assist them in checking the carrier pigeons.

Just an hour after the two carrier pigeons flew into the capital, 2,500 soldiers blocked the area around the Great Xiangguo Temple and began to investigate from house to house.

In less than half an hour, seven families with pigeons had been invited to the Yamen of the Intelligence Department, but his intuition told Zhang Hu that these seven families should have nothing to do with today's pigeons.

"Has anyone taken a bounty?" Zhang Hu asked.

"Qi Qi joined the army, and no one received the bounty for the time being."

Zhang Hu was a little disappointed in his heart, did no one really find out where this pigeon landed? Or did the pigeons not land in this area?

At this time, Zhang Hu suddenly found an inn lantern hanging in front of an alley, his heart moved, experience told him that the enemy often used inns or restaurants as cover, he turned his horse's head and walked towards the alley with dozens of men.

"Join the army, this is it!" A soldier points to the mottled doorway of the inn.

"Knock!"

Zhang Hu coldly ordered, and immediately a soldier stepped forward and knocked on the door hard, only for a moment, the dilapidated gate 'squeak!' It opened with a bang.

"Are you ......" He Nan felt a sudden shock in his heart, and almost turned around and fled, is this to arrest himself?

But after all, he was born as a waiter, and asked for a while, "Are you here to stay in the hotel?" ”

"Stop you!"

One soldier shouted angrily, "Come in and search, get out of the way!" ”

He Nan got out of the way, and a group of soldiers rushed in and went straight to the backyard, where pigeons are usually raised.

Zhang Hu glanced at He Nan and asked, "Are you the shopkeeper?" ”

"The villain He Nan is the shopkeeper of this store."

"I don't think your accent is a local, but it is the accent on Hebei Road."

"The general is right, the villain is from Zhendingfu."

"The inn is full?"

"No, not a single guest."

"What's that out of business?" Zhang Hu glanced back at the sign on the gate that was closed.

He Nan smiled bitterly and said: "There is no business at all now, and it will be a loss to live in a small shop with one or two guests, so it is better to close down and send the guys home." ”

"How many guys do you have in this shop?"

"Originally, there were six, but three left, and three had nowhere to go, so they stayed in the small shop."

Answering that there were no loopholes, Zhang Hu turned over and dismounted and went into the backyard again, only to see that the backyard was cleaned up, and the three guys were standing aside with their hands down, and he looked at the roof again, there was no pigeon cage.

A capital head hurriedly stepped forward to report: "We have searched and found nothing suspicious." ”

That being said, Zhang Hu always felt that there was something wrong with this inn, but he couldn't say anything was wrong.

At this moment, a soldier rushed in and whispered in his ear: "The carrier pigeon over there in Taixue has been found!" ”

Zhang Hu perked up and said to Dutou: "I'll go to Taixue, and you will search again." ”

After speaking, Zhang Hu turned around and strode towards the outside of the inn, but the shopkeeper He Nan's face turned pale in an instant, he just heard that something happened to Taixue over there.
