Xu Dingguo's guards sneaked out in the middle of the night, and when they arrived outside the door, they pulled another group of people over, gave a few orders, and the group of people was divided into two groups of people, and followed the foreman and Chen Wuyong of the county respectively. Xu Dingguo was really quite cautious, no wonder he was able to trap and kill the chief soldier Gao Jie in Suizhou Shangshu Mansion before......

The guards who followed Chen Wuyong didn't notice anything unusual. After Chen Wuyong left Xu Dingguo's general's mansion, he went to Chen Jiujin's mansion, although he was not used to seeing Xu Dingguo so high-flying, but he never dared to offend him openly. Besides, Chen Jiujin responded to the imperial court policy and vigorously promoted the land reform movement in Sichuan, especially in Zigong, although he won the support of the local people, but also offended many landlords and old wealth. However, because of the people's will, although Chen Wuyong hated it to the core, he couldn't bring down the big tree of Chen Jiujin, if he could get rid of Chen Jiujin with the help of Xu Dingguo, not to mention swallowing his winery business by the way, it would not be impossible to curb the land reform and reformulate local rules. Even if the court investigates it, then all the blame will be pushed on Chen Jiujin. You must know that a wealthy businessman like Chen Jiujin is no longer known below the county, and such a person can make money and water, but he can also make trouble, which is a situation that the court knows.

If you waste such thoughts, you can't waste the few steps you have been running around in the middle of the night. Thinking like this, Chen Wuyong didn't feel the wind under his feet, quickened his pace, ran a few streets, turned a few alleys, and finally came to Chen Jiujin's mansion.

As expected, although Xu Dingguo did not engage Chen Jiujin on the surface, he had already monitored him secretly, no matter day or night, Chen's mansion was surrounded by secret sentinels, and the slightest wind and grass would rise.

Of course, Chen Jiujin has already noticed it, but people don't step on the threshold of your house, why can you bear it? ! But the people and things that came out of or walked into the Chen Mansion, and even the news, were not so smooth. This is also an important reason why Chen Jiujin asked Jinyiwei for help.

"Ahem...... It's my ......" Before he arrived at the gate of the Chen Mansion, Chen Wuyong glanced around and coughed lightly, which could be regarded as greeting Xu Dingguo's secret whistle, so that he could enter smoothly and knock on the door of the Chen Mansion......

The magistrate visited the third watch in the middle of the night, even if Chen Jiujin didn't wait to see Chen Wuyong again, he didn't dare to close the door at this time, and sent the servants to go out to welcome Chen Wuyong into the door, and couldn't help but look out, so he quickly closed the door again.

It is not difficult to enter the closed gate of Chen's Mansion, but the difficult thing is how to enter and knock on the door, at this moment, a drunk man happened to pass by in front of Chen's Mansion, just stopped for a moment, and then was rushed out of the dark by unknown people to take people away!

This scene was seen by several other pairs of eyes in the darkness, and they couldn't help but shrink back.

"The foreman's information is correct, but Chen Wuyong is here to find Chen Jiujin, but it seems that it is really not easy to enter the Chen Mansion, Xu Dingguo's secret sentry is too tight!"

"What then? Seeing that the third watch is coming soon, and we can't see Boss Chen again, we can't get information at all, how can we explain to the general? ”

"Wait a few more for them to see if there's a way to ......"

The two people who discussed softly were the scouts of Jinyiwei, and they learned from the foreman the fastest way to find Chen Jiujin, so they followed Chen Wuyong all the way to the front of Chen's mansion.

It is said that the foreman not only has a good craftsman's work, good eloquence, and good acting skills, but also has no shortage of reconnaissance ability. Not long after following the junior officer in charge out, he found that Xu Dingguo's guards had followed. How to spread the news that Chen Wuyong went to find Chen Jiujin unconsciously? When he was about to return to the construction site, an accident suddenly happened:

The refugees who had entered the city during the day had not yet had time to settle down, and were now sleeping on the side of the road. Unfortunately, the junior officer in charge was already sleepy at this time, yawning step by step, and when he was not paying attention, he suddenly stumbled under his feet and fell!

The foreman had an idea, and hurriedly helped the junior official forward, scolded the refugees on the side of the road while helping him, and even kicked the man a few times, "Do you have long eyes?" Yes? Do you have long eyes? Didn't you see the steward passing by? Chen Zhixian said just now, you are all under the control of the steward, if anyone offends the steward, be careful that you can't eat and walk around! ”

Although the junior official in charge is an official, he also knows how many catties and taels he has, although he is in charge of these craftsmen, he is also afraid that they will cause trouble, and if he can make money and make money, he will try to make as few troubles as possible. So seeing that the foreman taught those craftsmen a lesson for himself, the anger in his heart was also a pastime, the foreman sang a white face, he just sang a red face, and won people's hearts, so he stopped the foreman with a smile and said, "Forget it, maybe everyone is tired today, and they didn't pay attention to sleeping, don't blame them." When Ming'er builds a shed, she won't have to sleep outside......"

"Do you hear that? Follow the steward well, adults can't lose us! Look at how you all slept like you, like you drank a few pounds, something...... Hum! The foreman still muttered a few words of indignation, and then sent the junior officer back to the makeshift hut on the construction site.

Xu Dingguo's guards followed him to the construction site in secret, and did not find that the foreman went elsewhere, nor did he contact anyone, as for the one just now, it was indeed the carelessness of the junior official himself, who was replaced, he had to help him forward, and immediately said a few words, and the boss should be reasonable, and I didn't see anything wrong with it! So after staring at it for a long time, I didn't see the foreman come out of the construction site again, and the leading guards asked the two to stay and continue to stare at the construction site, so they went back to the general's mansion to report to Xu Dingguo.

As soon as he left, someone secretly retreated into the alley!

"The foreman must have hinted at something ...... just now"

"Well, at least we know that he just met Chen Wuyong, the magistrate, and Chen Wuyong should have also gone to Xu Dingguo's General's Mansion!"

"That's right, but it's not like a foreman's style to make such a fuss about a known piece of information...... What else is there? ”

"Hey, by the way, he just said that those craftsmen slept like they wanted to drink high, is there something going on here?"

"I remembered what you said, if you drink high, you drink high, why do you want to say a few catties?"

"How many pounds, how many pounds......? Chen Zhi County......? Chen Zhixian ...... A few pounds ......"

"Chen Jiujin?!" Suddenly, the two said in unison.

In this way, the scouts lurking in the city who were responsible for finding Chen Jiujin's whereabouts were like a treasure.

"It seems that Boss Chen has not been arrested."

"Let's go, let's go find Chen Wuyong first, and we must be able to find Boss Chen's whereabouts!"

Only then did several people follow Chen Wuyong all the way to Chen's mansion. However, in the face of the strict monitoring around the Chen Mansion, it was difficult for the capable scouts to get close to the Chen Mansion by half a step.

The drunkard was one of their methods, and it obviously didn't work.

After everyone else came back, they found that there was no way to sneak into Chen's Mansion and contact Chen Jiujin.

"Team leader, the brothers are all back, no one can get in, what should I do?!"

The group leader took another look, wrote down the map a little, and then led the people away, Xu Dingguo's secret post had already patrolled this side......

"The general's instructions are very clear, if you can't get in, don't be strong, in case you are discovered, not only will your actions be exposed, but Boss Chen will also be in danger. It's almost four watches, you can't wait, you two will go out of the city immediately, and I want the general to explain the situation! A few of you, contact the mobile team in the city and ask them to help cover and send the information out as soon as possible! The group leader said, handing the map to the people who had left the city.

"Understood!"

"Withdraw!"

Although the scouts looking for Chen Jiujin found Chen Jiujin's whereabouts, they did not dare to break in rashly in view of Xu Dingguo's surveillance, so they had to report back to Zhu Qing, who was waiting for the situation outside the city.

Under the cover of the mobile group, the scouts sent the information out of Xicheng, and when the information arrived in front of Zhu Qing, it had already entered the fourth watch.

Zhu Qing looked at the information and map in his hand, didn't say anything, turned around and returned to the tent.

He could have guessed that it would be difficult for Chen Jiujin to send out intelligence if he was so influential in the local area, and no matter how powerful the scouts were, it would probably be difficult to infiltrate Xu Dingguo's surveillance.

With such ability, it is no wonder that Xu Dingguo dares to argue with Jinyiwei.

"General?" The two people who sent the information saw that Zhu Qing didn't speak, thinking that Zhu Qing was angry. Unexpectedly, Zhu Qing looked back and smiled, "Oh, your tasks have been completed very well, continue to cooperate with other people's tasks." ”

"Yes!"

After the two scouts left, Zhu Qing took off his cloak from the hook, flicked it, and the cloak spread out with the wind and landed lightly on his body. Zhu Qing decided to enter the city in person!
