At the third watch, Zhao Min received a notice that Shao Qi had returned, and hurriedly asked people to welcome him into the big tent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the two of them sat down, Zhao Min spoke: "Can you get something?" ”

Shao Qi's handsome face turned red with excitement: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

Zhao Min waved his hand to signal that there was no need to worry, and first held a cup of hot tea in his own hand, and then asked, "Let's talk carefully." ”

"Whoa!" Shao Qi took the teacup with both hands and replied respectfully.

"The pirate camp is located in a hidden harbor in Jiaozhou Bay, with cliffs on three sides and water on one side, and it was fortunate that it was led by soldiers who were familiar with the local area. Because we expected that there would be a steep cliff on the mountain wall in advance, we were well prepared, so we went to investigate that all the people were good at climbing, so we arranged for five people to go down from the mountain wall and wait for the opportunity to sneak in. Because it is night, most of the people in the village have fallen asleep, and there are few patrol people, but there are several people guarding the gate of the village, and we can easily enter the village without much effort! ”

Shao Qi took a breath and continued: "According to the inference of the camp in the village, the number of pirates is about 1,000, but the number of soldiers who can fight is estimated to be only 500, and the rest are old and weak family members; In addition, there are more than 30 large and small ships such as red horses and walkers. More than 100 big cars were parked in the open space in the village, and Mr. Meng expected that Uncle Xiahou should be lost in this thief, and the big car must be lost by Xiahou's family, otherwise why would there be so many big cars in a thief's nest? In the hands of Si Wensi, one of whom was a scout for the border army, was very shrewd, and saw that there was a wooden house in the village that was different, and guessed that it was the place where Uncle Xiahou was imprisoned, so he ventured to sneak in, and unexpectedly found out a shocking news! ”

Speaking of this, a strange light burst out in Shao Qi's eyes: "The place where the good hand sneaked in is not the place where the uncle is imprisoned, but where the thief chief is." He was not willing to get nothing, so he simply went into the house to check. Before he could do so, the chief of thieves had returned, and was talking to a man, and the good hand had to hide on the beams of the house, but he heard one of them say, 'The master of the house has a letter.' ’

Another asked: 'What does my brother-in-law say in his letter?' ’

'The head of the house said, the matter will be known in the day after tomorrow, and I tell you to take care of what you have gained, and kill that person as soon as the matter is completed, and do not leak the news! ’

You will reply to the letter, so that your brother-in-law can rest assured, and say that so-and-so knows, and send someone back tomorrow. ’

When the good hand heard that something was wrong, he lurked on the beam, and when the thief chief was asleep, he searched the house and found the letter and put it in his bosom. After that, the five of them searched around again, but they found no trace of the uncle, thinking that the thieves were hiding tightly. Fearing that the delay would increase the risk of exposure, I decided to return to report first! ”

After speaking, he took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Zhao Min. Zhao Min took it and took out one, only to see that it was written on his head, "Respect for his brother-in-law Cheng Gong and Bi Taijian...... Cheng Bi is the name of the Jimo County Order, this is too careless!

Zhao Min sighed in his heart, this guy's luck is too good! Originally, I just wanted to see if this cheap uncle fell into the hands of this pirate, but who knew that he even got the incriminating evidence! It seems that Shao Qi, this kid, is born with the potential to do espionage. patted Shao Qi on the shoulder at the moment, "If this matter is successful, Ah Fu should take the first credit!" ”

Shao Qi's face was flushed with excitement, thinking that it was because his subordinate boss Wen Cao was excited about the success of his first independent mission. Zhao Min stopped Shao Qi, who wanted to kneel, and ordered in a low voice: "Go and invite Mr. Meng and Uncle Meng, this matter still needs to be discussed." ”

"Whoa!"

However, after a cup of tea, Meng Hou and Xia Houjie arrived together, and it seemed that neither of them had fallen asleep. Xiahou Jie must have been anxious and couldn't sleep, as for Meng Hou...... Looking at his neatly dressed and untired appearance, it seems that he has calculated that there will be news back tonight, and he has been ready for a long time.

Zhao Min informed the two of them about what they had received tonight, and their reactions were very different. Xiahou Jie's face was full of shock, while Meng Hou still looked like an old god, as if he had expected it. Zhao Min saluted Meng Hou: "Now the situation is clear, it is Jimo Ling who colluded with pirates and used traps, persecution and violence to frame the Xiahou family. Min is now confused, did he immediately make public the evidence of Jimo Ling's collusion with pirates? Please sir teach me! ”

Meng Hou shook his head and smiled: "How to do it, it depends on what the King of the North Sea wants?" ”

"What do you want?"

"This matter is very easy to hear, and Hou has three strategies. In order to solve the predicament of the Xiahou family, he only needs to show the letter privately to the Jimo Order, and he will not dare to persecute it again. In the future, Jimo Ling will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate. This is the next step. ”

"What you want is a desperate trouble, when you mobilize the power of Xiahou's whole family, invite the villagers, and make the evidence public, that is, the ink order will fall; As soon as the ink order fell, the pirates also lost their backers, presumably it would be useless to embarrass the Xiahou family master, and the crisis would be solved. The patient wanted to gamble on the vision of the pirates, and secondly, it would damage the reputation of the Xiahou family. This is the middle point. ”

"As for the best policy...... Speaking of this, Meng Hou squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Min: "The King of Beihai once said to me that he has the ambition to help the summer room, and in order to fulfill his wishes, do you have the heart to take practical benefits?" ”

Zhao Min understood what Meng Hou meant, this was to let him take the Jimo Order and replace him, this was indeed a way to never suffer in the future, but the title of King of the North Sea made him have some scruples. The Xia system stipulates that those who are crowned kings are all children of the royal family, although the fief is located in Tiannan and Haibei, but all the officials are court officials, and the fief is just a name, and there is no precedent for the seal of the prince to hold one side in another place. However, the first two strategies mentioned by Meng Hou, the consequences of the next policy are too great, although the crisis is temporarily resolved, but the Moling Order does not change people, and it may choke the throat of the Xiahou family at any time, this strategy is never dared to choose; Although Zhongce has solved the current Jimo Order, the reputation of expelling Shangguan is really not good, even if the successor will not kill the Xiahou family like his predecessor, it is estimated that there will always be a mustard in his heart, and if he has the opportunity, he may also be guilty of the Xiahou family, so Zhongce is not the best choice. Besides, don't you have a mission to get a stronghold? This may be an opportunity. Thinking of this, he immediately nodded and said, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Meng Hou smiled with satisfaction.

"Since the King of Beihai has the heart to take the truth, this matter should be a good plan!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Shao Qi: "You can take a look at the letter you have obtained." ”

Shao Qi took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Meng Hou, Meng Hou looked at it carefully, had a plan in his heart, and said: "Hou had learned some things about copying paintings in his early years, and this letter may be used, and I will put it back at night after copying, so as not to be suspicious of the thieves." ”

After that, he took pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and copied the letter on the spot. Zhao Min curiously approached behind him and took a look, sure enough, it was almost the same as the original book, and he couldn't help but admire: "Mr. is really versatile, worthy of the name of high talent!" ”

After Meng Hou finished copying, he smiled and said: "The King of Beihai praises falsely, but the carving insect has small skills, it is difficult to wait for the elegant hall, Hou is just playing when he has nothing to do in his early years, and he should not be called a talent by the King of Beihai." After speaking, he put the letter into the original envelope, sealed it as it was, and handed it to Shao Qi, and instructed him to send someone to return it immediately, and Shao Qi was ordered to leave.

After doing all this, Meng Hou turned to Xiahou Jie again: "Does Zhong Hao know if there are any officials and gentry in Jimo City who are dissatisfied with Jimo Ling?" ”

Xiahou Jie was already stunned on the side, and when he heard Meng Hou's question, he hurriedly replied: "Naturally, there is a ......."
