"......" He Hu still didn't speak, only shook his head. When He Jinrong gave him this letter, he didn't mention what was in the letter at all, he did whatever his father told him to do, what was there to think about.

“…… This was given to you by your father?! The content of the letter is not long, only two pages, Boss Sun quickly finished reading it, but the more he read it, the more he frowned, and after reading it once, he turned it over and read it carefully for the second time, and then asked He Hu with a serious face.

"Yes, it was given to me when I boarded the ship from Thang Long Port, and my second and third brothers were also present...... What did my dad say in the letter? Although He Hu is an honest man, he is not stupid, and when he saw Boss Sun's face, he knew that something big must have been said in the letter.

"Your father...... Hi! He's old and confused! He's going to ...... Forget it, it's useless to tell you, you go back first, tell your two younger brothers, don't go anywhere, just wait for me in the room, something big is going to happen! Boss Sun took the letter and turned it around the room with his hands behind his back, and stopped talking several times, and finally opened the door directly and walked out, without telling He Hu where he was going, just asking He Hu to go back and wait.

Where did Boss Sun go? He went directly to the castle of the port lord, talked to Cixi through the familiar guards, and quickly called out Cixi, who was in a meeting, and then took out a small bag from his collar, took out a metal plate and handed it to Cixi. After Cixi saw this sign, she asked Boss Sun a few more words, and then took him into the castle.

Does Cixi know Boss Sun? I do know, to be precise, Boss Sun is an overseas intelligence agent of the Ministry of Supervision, and people like this exist in all Southeast Asian countries, the Southern Song Dynasty, Kalamba Port, Japan, Goryeo and even Mongolia, according to the secret archives of the Ministry of Supervision, the total number of people has reached thousands. These people are not necessarily from the Golden River Empire. Most of them are local residents. As for how Cixi bribed, persuaded and controlled these people to serve the empire. Hong Tao didn't ask in detail, anyway, they are all unsightly methods, and there are no good people who do this.

Their task is very simple, that is, to live a normal life in the local area, what to do, and ordinary people have only one difference, that is, to regularly hand over all kinds of information they have collected to someone through secret letters, and then there is nothing to do. If there is an emergency, it is too late to wait for the recipient to arrive. They also had a metal nameplate on them that identified the person's file number written in Cixi's own secret language. Through this number, you can find out the detailed personal information of the person who holds this card, even if this card is obtained by others, it is difficult to impersonate.

"What? He's going to take the imperial fleet into the Dead Sea! Whose idea was it? You agitated him! Before Cixi could finish reading He Jinrong's letter, a fierce expression appeared on the face of the dead man.

"It has nothing to do with subordinates...... I have been in contact with this He Jinrong for several years, and he is a little unaccustomed to the Straits Company and the empire, but it is mainly habitual, and it does not pose a threat to the empire and the company. He started with a loan from the company, and he was grateful to the company and the empire in this regard. The fourth and fifth children of his family are trained in the navigation school, and they have been approved for immigration. He said it in the letter. If this is considered a meritorious service to the empire, please ask me to help pick up all his family members in Fuzhou. It doesn't matter if you don't count. Even if he He family spoke out for all the maritime merchants. ”

When Boss Sun arrived in front of Cixi, he immediately became shorter. Although he has been lurking in the port of Malacca for many years and is considered to be one of the first intelligence agents of the Ministry of Supervision, he has not had much contact with Cixi, and he usually has to pretend to be a different face when he meets in the restaurant, so that no one can see that he has anything to do with Cixi.

"This is a problem...... If the fleet disappeared in the Indian Ocean, would the Song court believe that it was just the work of an old man with a strange personality? 100% would think that the Empire sent a ship to sink them, and only the Imperial warship has this ability, and I would think the same way. "Cixi doesn't care about other things in the letter, if this He Jinrong really wins, then the Jinhe Empire will have to start preparing for war with the Great Song Dynasty, even if it won't start fighting immediately, the relationship between the two sides will fall into a freezing point, and many things will have to be rearranged in advance, especially his supervision department, which must enter a wartime state.

"......" Regarding these things that Cixi said, Boss Sun couldn't interject, so he could only listen quietly.

"If you do this right, Your Majesty often says that rules are dead, and people are alive! It's not enough to just abide by the rules, but you have to be able to use it flexibly and judge the situation! If something so big happens, and you still follow the rules and go through the process slowly, it really delays the matter, and you, the innkeeper, may have to be the owner for the rest of your life. As for the He family...... Don't meddle, go back and pack up the things in the hotel, prepare for your next appointment, and then report to the Guangzhou headquarters, and I will arrange a new job for you. After so many years, you should also go back to the empire to live with your wife and children for a while, which is my reward for you. ”

Cixi didn't discuss the problem of the He family with Boss Sun again, he already knew the information that should be obtained, and Boss Sun had no right to ask about the rest of the things. However, he is still very satisfied with Boss Sun's performance, and there may not be a thoughtful, unhurried, and well-informed one among a hundred intelligence officers.

"Yes...... The subordinates retired ...... "Boss Sun listened to Cixi's words, and although he tried hard to make himself more calm, the joy that he couldn't help but show in his heart was still on his face. In the past few years, the days of worrying have not been in vain, and I can finally change from a ghost to a living person, and I can finally see my wife and children who were picked up by the Ministry of Supervision, and by the way, I can also be an official in the empire, this surprise is a bit big.

"Go to the marines, let them cooperate with us, go to Sun Jizheng's store to find Boss Sun, and arrest the three brothers of the He family and put them in the fortress first. Then inform our clipper to go to Fuzhou and secretly take all the twenty-three members of the He family to our courtyard in Ximaozhou, and take good care of them, but they are not allowed to contact anyone. Then inform the captain of the battleship on duty in the merciful cruising fleet to come to me, something is wrong, run! Boss Sun went out, and a young man in his early twenties came in outside the door, this was Cixi's follower, a high-achieving student who graduated from the navigation school. Originally, this position belonged to Bush, but unfortunately his broken mouth was destined to not be able to do this industry.

"How much authority can I wield?" Bush's successor was also a dead man, without a word of nonsense, and after recording Cixi's orders, he handed Cixi to sign it and asked questions.

"Highest level! I hope I can catch up with them......" Cixi counted with her fingers, and the expression on her face became more serious.

According to the date stated in the letter, if there is no accident, the merchant fleet of the imperial court has been out of the west mouth of the Strait of Malacca for one or two days. No matter how fast his own clipper is, it will take half a month to go back and forth to Fuzhou, and it will be a bit too late to send a battleship to chase He Jinrong's family at that time. And you can't ask Hong Tao about this matter first, for the same reason, it's too far away to ask for instructions, so you have to make your own decisions.

Hong Tao's attitude towards the imperial merchant fleet was very clear, the Jinhe Empire wanted to avoid suspicion, and the Royal Navy was not allowed to participate in this matter, otherwise there would be no need to spend so much effort to find other trade routes for the maritime merchants. If the imperial court's merchant fleet really wants to open the Kalamba port route by itself, let them go, and even if they get there, no merchant will dare to do business with the imperial court's merchant ships. King Kaba is not a fool, the empire only needs to reveal it to him through unofficial channels, and he can settle the matter. Now He Jinrong had to not help the empire, but wanted to disrupt Hong Tao's plan, and Cixi could only inform Hong Tao while trying to find a way to make up for it.

Cixi calculated very accurately, just when Boss Sun was reporting to him, the fleet led by He Jinrong was turning south, and after two more days, as He Jinrong said, the fleet entered a very mild sea area. There are basically no waves here, and the wind is not strong, so it is appropriate to describe it as a gentle breeze, and the sky is blue and blue, and there are no clouds in sight. The sailors who had just experienced the storm came to the deck to bask in the sun, and Shi Hong and Zhao An even set up a banquet on the stern, singing and dancing.

"Wu Juntou, how old are you in the family?" He Jinrong was also called over by Shi Hong and rewarded him with two glasses of wine, and when he came back, he stood beside the helmsman and began to chatter.

"The third brother, there is an older brother, an older sister and a younger brother...... Wu Juntou hesitated a little, but still answered He Jinrong's question.

"Oh, that's good, that's good, old man, I know you on the boat who doesn't bully me, if your family is in a single line, my sin will be great......" He Jinrong listened to Wu Juntou's answer, and smiled happily on his face, as if he had saved someone else's life.

"Hi...... They all eat by the sea, who bullies whom...... Don't think too much in your heart, those people are not all the way to us, where have officials who have not suppressed the people since ancient times. Wu Juntou didn't hear anything wrong from He Jinrong's words, and thought that he had resentment in his heart, and planned to enlighten this old man who was about the same age as his father.

"Hey, don't tell me, there's such a place. I ask you, if there was such a place, would you like to go there? He Jinrong's face flushed, as if he had drunk a little too much, and his voice became louder.

"Hey, hey, old man He, you've drunk too much, you're drunk with just two glasses of water and wine! If you don't go to this kind of place early, will it be my turn? I can tell you, don't look at the two of us talking well these days, but you can't take me for a fool to deceive, and I'm not a good match in the army! Wu Juntou let He Jinrong say that he was happy, no one wanted to be treated as a fool by others, and he was a little annoyed.
