Chapter 36: The Red Turban Road
"What! Are you sure you heard it right? ”
Du Sheng's eyelids twitched suddenly, staring at Jiang Lie and asking in a low voice.
"I can't be wrong, this is the news I personally judged."
Jiang Lie nodded solemnly.
"They are so bold, they dare to secretly grab food in Benhou's mouth, they are really impatient!"
A cold light flashed in Du Sheng's eyes, and he smashed the armrest of the chair with a slap.
It turned out that as early as half a year ago, Jiang Lei, the second leader of Tianlong Village, was secretly absorbed by the Red Turban Dao and became a high-status Tianlong envoy.
Du Sheng, the Red Turban Dao, had also heard of it before, and it was a secret organization that suddenly appeared in Qingshan County in the past two years, specifically against the imperial court.
Under the banner of "Heaven is dead, red scarves are in charge", they robbed the rich with great fanfare, robbed the official grain, and secretly wooed the powerful and powerful bandits everywhere, with great ambitions.
Originally, Du Sheng didn't care what kind of red scarf or black scarf he had in his heart, as long as he didn't cause trouble to Ninghai, it had nothing to do with him.
From the side, he wished that the more fierce the red scarf road was, the better, which could also help him attract the attention of some of the imperial court.
But the red scarf should never put his hand on his territory, Jiuxiang and Eighteen Villages have long been regarded by him as fat meat in his mouth, and someone comes to grab food and eat at his mouth, how can he bear it?
"Don't act rashly yet, and remember not to leak the news. This matter is arranged by Benhou. ”
After pondering for a moment, Du Sheng also commanded coldly.
"Master Hou, do you want to inform the big boss in advance, so that she can prepare early."
Jiang Lie hesitated, but couldn't help but propose.
The second leader of Tianlong Village secretly joined the Red Turban Dao, which was a big deal. One bad one may bring death to the entire village.
A few months ago, the imperial court had already announced to the world that the Red Turban Road had become a chaotic party, and it had also sent the Qingshan County garrison to conquer it.
After a few months of secret rest, the Red Turban Dao made a comeback this time and made a bigger battle than the last time, and with the temper of King Qin, he would inevitably send troops to suppress and exterminate it again.
In the past, they hid in the deep mountains and old forests to live their own small lives, and although the imperial court was also very unhappy, it was not yet the step of suppressing and eradicating.
But once it gets involved with the traitors, it will inevitably attract the army of the imperial court.
Besides, the Red Turban Road is not a good stubble, and even if the court does not send troops to recruit at that time, it will inevitably be disturbed by the Red Turban Road.
Although Jiang Lie yearns for glory and wealth and wants to get ahead and glorify his ancestors, it does not mean that he is willing to watch his village suffer misery.
"Absolutely not! Now no one knows how many people in your Tianlong Village have joined the Red Turban Road, what if the news leaks? Although the Red Turban Road is under the banner of doing the right thing for the sky, it is actually a group of hungry wolves that eat people and do not spit out bones. ”
Du Sheng categorically rejected his proposal, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable for a while.
"You go and bring that man, Ben Hou will personally interrogate him."
After a pause, Du Sheng continued to command with some unease.
"No!"
The latter said yes and quickly left the backyard.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Lie sent people over in a large wooden box.
Du Sheng asked Qinglongwei to re-examine it, and sure enough, he came up with an answer that was similar to Jiang Lie.
"He's just a little guy who runs errands, and that's all he knows. I don't know how many people in Tianlong Village are like Jiang Lei, and they have also joined the Red Turban Dao. ”
Du Sheng's brows were deeply twisted together, originally he still had seven points to be sure of subduing Tianlong Village, but the Red Turban Dao was stuck in the middle, and now he only had three points left.
The folk customs of Jiuxiang and Eighteen Villages are simple and fierce, and the men in the village have followed their fathers since they were young with bows, arrows, knives and guns to drill all over the forest, and even tigers and wolves can fight.
As long as these people get together and train a little, they are a tiger and wolf army.
Once the red scarf road has set its sights on this piece of fat, it will never give up easily.
"Immediately let someone secretly send this letter to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion."
After Du Sheng finished interrogating the man who intercepted him halfway, he came out and immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Jiang Lie.
"Don't worry, Master Hou, it will be delivered before dawn tomorrow morning."
Jiang Lie cautiously put the letter in his arms and quickly turned to leave.
"Qinglongwei's intelligence ability is still too weak, and it seems that it is necessary to set up a separate agency dedicated to inquiring about information. If you don't have your own news channel, you're like being blind and deaf! ”
Du Sheng looked at the lightly jumping candle flame in front of him, and secretly planned in his mind.
Although Qinglongwei also has the ability to spy on intelligence, there are too few manpower. Moreover, the most important duties of the Qinglongwei are surveillance, interrogation, protection, and spying.
Gathering intelligence is just an add-on to their work.
Du Sheng always thought that he clearly knew that it was important to have an intelligence network that belonged to him, but he had a deadly knife hanging over his head, and all his plans and arrangements in the first stage were centered around saving his life.
Today's incident only deepened his sense of urgency to form an intelligence agency.
"Whether it's the Red Turban Road or those restless villages, if anyone dares to spoil Lao Tzu's big things, I will let them die!"
Du Sheng looked in the direction of Ninghai County, and the killing intent in his eyes seemed to be substance.
Just now he had already asked Nangong Qing in the letter to secretly dispatch five hundred Dragon Flame Army to lurk at the foot of the mountain, and once there was a situation beyond control, it was time for the Dragon Flame Army to draw its sword.
The lights in Du Sheng's room didn't go out until late, but at three o'clock, a long and three short faint knocks on the door made him suddenly open his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
Du Sheng quickly sat up from the bed, put on his clothes, picked up the shotgun leaning against the side of the bed, walked to the door and asked.
One long and three short is Qinglongwei's special obscure code, and as soon as he hears it, he knows that his subordinates have something important to report.
If it wasn't a very important matter, Qinglongwei didn't dare to disturb his rest in the middle of the night.
"Back to the Hou Ye, my subordinates saw a man in black sneakily enter the house of the second leader, Jiang Lei, and the man stayed in his house for half an hour before leaving."
The person who spoke outside the door was none other than Qinglongwei, who Du Sheng arranged to spy on Jiang Lei.
"Do you see what that man looks like?"
Du Sheng hurriedly asked.
"That person is wrapped in a big black coat, and his subordinates can't see his appearance clearly, but I have asked Xiao Wu to follow secretly."
Qinglongwei outside the door continued to reply.
"You immediately bring three brothers to follow to pick up Xiao Wu, this place is not our territory, be careful!"
"No!"
The person outside the door said yes in a suppressed voice and left quietly.
"It seems that the man in black is very likely to be a member of the Red Turban Dao, and maybe he is still an important person in the Red Turban Dao who is responsible for secretly contacting him."
Du Sheng's face was a little ugly, and he took the gun and went back to bed and lay down in his clothes, while pretending to sleep and recuperate, while waiting for the tracking Qinglongwei to come back and report it.
