Chapter 1003: Creating an Atmosphere

(Thank you to Monk Jueyuan and Ren Lao for voting for your valuable monthly ticket, and thank you for not choosing the middle route and the reward of the Demon Thieves Group, thank you.) )

Suddenly received an urgent order from Fan Wencheng, Kang Tai was a little overwhelmed, such a situation has never happened, no matter what the situation is, Fan Wencheng did not personally give such an order. After being at a loss, Kang Tai, who calmed down, knew the importance of responsibility, and also knew that he had to complete the task, otherwise his fate would be very miserable.

Kang Tai is a Han in Liaodong, it should be said that before Su Tiancheng served as the governor of Jiliao, the Han people in Liaodong were very ostracized, and even directly characterized as traitors, not to mention that in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, even in Liaodong, it is difficult to have a foothold, the status and situation of the Han people in Liaodong is very embarrassing, on the one hand, the Manchurian nobles look down on them, regard them as slaves and inferior people, on the other hand, the officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty do not accept them, thinking that they are born to work for the Houjin Tartars, and it is in this situation, In order to survive, many Han people in Liaodong took refuge in the Houjin Tartars and became an important part of the Houjin intelligence network.

Under such a position, the Han people in Liaodong should have been sad, but the oppression of the environment has changed many people's views, and living has become the greatest desire of many people.

After receiving the order, Kang Tai carefully thought and planned the relationship between him and Tang Haitai. It is indeed very good, but Tang Haitai's greed and uncontrollability also annoyed Kang Tai, and several times Kang Tai wanted to remind him not to be too high-profile, and the so-called wealth is not exposed. It's always like this, it will arouse the suspicion of others, but Tang Haitai doesn't care, the reason for investing in the store under the pretext is still a lot of wine.

Kang Tai is not completely worried about Tang Haitai, mainly considering himself, Tang Haitai is so high-profile, if it is exposed, he will be completely finished. If he is caught by the government, there is no need to think about what the consequences will be, and it is precisely because of this consideration that Kang Tai reported to Fan Wencheng, and after getting permission, he unceremoniously warned Tang Haitai and warned Tang Haitai. Be careful when spending money and don't get noticed by outsiders. Especially the colleagues of the governor's yamen, although they said that there was an excuse, Tang Haitai agreed on the surface, but the practice still did not change much, which made Kang Tai very angry, and originally wanted to teach Tang Haitai a good lesson. Unexpectedly, Fan Wencheng's order came, changed the previous decision, and the meaning was very clear, and let Tang Haitai do it.

This time, Fan Wencheng arranged personnel. brought 5,000 taels of gold, all of which were used to spy on intelligence, mainly Tang Haitai, and Fan Wencheng ordered people to send so much gold, he must have wanted to spy on important information.

The Ming Dynasty is preparing to launch an attack on the Qing Kingdom, this news, Kang Tai is also aware of it, of course, the information is provided by Tang Haitai, for a long time, Tang Haitai is in front of him, a lot of casual, drinking and eating and even visiting the Qinglou, some words are said unconsciously. It is precisely because of this situation that Kang Tai is more and more worried, intelligence work is very hidden, and it is necessary to pay attention to it at all times, Tang Haitai's stubborn character is exposed sooner or later.

has been in Ningyuan City for a long time, engaged in espionage work, Kang Tai is not a fool, he faintly feels a possibility, that is, Fan Wencheng's attitude has changed, what is needed is intelligence, not people, once Fan Wencheng gets the information he needs, he and Tang Haitai are likely to be finished.

The above order is not to be disobeyed, but Kang Tai will not sit idly by, the five thousand taels of gold he brought, he first hid three thousand taels, and the remaining two thousand taels of gold were squandered by Tang Haitai, at the same time, he had to pay close attention to the situation, once something unexpected, he would immediately flee from Ningyuan City and save his life.

Tang Haitai entered the store and went straight to the backyard.

Kangtai was waiting, and there was a hundred taels of gold on the table.

Seeing the one hundred taels of gold on the table, Tang Haitai's face showed a smile, since joining Houjin's intelligence network, Tang Haitai's life has nourished a lot, the kind of self-blame and worry in the early days, slowly disappeared without a trace, the enjoyment of wine and food, wind and snow, can wipe out everything.

Tang Haitai was not polite, and reached out to get the gold on the table.

Kang Tai stretched out his hand and pinched Tang Haitai's arm.

"Wait, I have something to say."

"What is there to say, don't you just need intelligence, as long as I provide the affairs of the governor's yamen, what else can I do, don't you say other aspects of information, you also want me to inquire, I don't have that ability."

The look of disdain on Kang Tai's face flashed.

"Tang Haitai, you also know that the Ming Dynasty is about to launch an attack on the Great Qing Kingdom, and the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen has been for so long, but the attack has not been launched for a long time, what is the specific situation, the above needs to know the Dao, I still have a lot of gold here, as long as you can provide information in this regard, it is all yours."

A smile appeared on Tang Haitai's face.

"Okay, how much gold is there?"

"You don't have to ask about this, there are a lot of them anyway, the key is intelligence, whether you can get it."

"How do I know about Lu Dao, anyway, I will provide all the things that the governor's yamen has, as for whether there is any information you need, I don't know Lu Dao, it's a big deal to pay more attention to this time."

Kang Tai was a little angry, in fact, such a big thing, with a little analysis, you can know that as a layman, you can have a certain analysis, Tang Haitai, as an official of the governor's yamen, has no simple analysis, it is really home.

"Tang Haitai, this kind of situation, a little analysis will be known, you think about it, if the Ming army wants to attack, it must be from Liaodong, Liaodong dispatches a large army, it is the governor Yamen who is directly responsible, to know the information of Lu Dao, it is not a very difficult thing, as long as the officials of the governor Yamen start to be busy, and there are more orders that need to be conveyed, it means that there is a problem."

Tang Haitai restrained his smile and looked at Kang Tai.

"These situations, I don't need you to remind me, I naturally know the Dao, no matter what changes, I will provide information truthfully, the analysis is your business, it has nothing to do with me, but you said this, I also have a request, since I need such important information as the Dao, then my price is different."

"Tell me, how much silver do you need."

"At least 10,000 taels of silver are needed, if the imperial court really fights with Houjin, I have to find a way to dodge, this official can't do it, at least I need to leave Liaodong......"

What Tang Haitai said later, Kang Tai didn't want to listen to it, Tang Haitai had the idea of retreating and preparing to do so, he would not report it to Lu Shang, this involved his own interests, if he reported it honestly, I am afraid that Fan Wencheng would immediately send more people to Ningyuan to monitor Tang Haitai and his every move, when the time comes, he will think about escaping, and there is no possibility.

After Tang Haitai finished speaking, Kang Tai spoke without thinking.

"There is no problem with the silver, I can also give you 10,000 taels of silver after all your expenses, but you also have to know that this is what I have worked hard to get from the top of the city, maybe the store will have to put the silver upside down, if you can't get this information, no matter where you go, we will find you."

Tang Haitai went to find Kangtai, he had already been closely monitored, in order to be able to grasp all aspects of the situation well, Qu Qingze specially arranged manpower, opposite Kangtai's leather store, opened a grocery store, the owner of the grocery store is the dark line arranged by Qu Qingze, and the relationship with Kangtai is still very good.

Qu Qingze naturally also issued an order, requiring the dark line to closely monitor Kang Tai and Tang Haitai's every move, and the subtleties could not be let go, no matter what movement there was, it was necessary to report, of course, Liaodong is far away from Dengzhou, and these situations cannot be reported directly to Qu Qingze, mainly to Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Liaodong.

Lu Xiangsheng's biggest credit lies in the success of placing a guy in Kangtai's store, this guy looks very honest and honest on the outside, although this guy has never been involved in Kangtai's core things, but the big and small things in the store are highly concerned, including the time and number of times Tang Haitai arrived at the store, etc., are very clear.

With the arrangement of the two aspects, all the whereabouts of Kang Tai and Tang Haitai have been investigated clearly.

Two days ago, Lu Xiangsheng got the information, Kangtai's shop, suddenly increased a large amount of gold, it is said to be used to buy grain and leather, the autumn harvest season, the store involved in the purchase of grain, earn some silver, this is a very normal thing, but Lu Xiangsheng felt, this is not normal, Kangtai's leather shop, has never purchased grain, and has no time and energy to buy grain, leather is sent by a special person, the main purpose of the leather shop, is to collect intelligence, how can it be possible to do business, so, Lu Xiangsheng sensitively sensed that he was probably a little anxious about Houjin and needed to get information.

Lu Xiangsheng quickly made arrangements to increase the surveillance of Tang Haitai and Kangtai.

Of course, all these things don't need Lu Xiangsheng to spend much energy, his focus is still on the matter of conquest, according to Su Tiancheng's arrangement, Qu Qingze has secretly come to Ningyuan, focusing on the matter of confusing the Houjin Tartar, Qu Qingze stayed in the backyard of the governor's yamen, and Lu Xiangsheng drew a separate courtyard, which no one approached.

Su Tiancheng's arrangement also made Lu Xiangsheng understand that this time to confuse the Houjin Tartar is of vital significance, the intelligence war has begun, and the Ming Dynasty must win. (To be continued......)
