"Quite possibly!" Li Dejian nodded noncommittally, and then asked with concern: "Sir, what's wrong with you?" Why do you ask this? Who told the Holy One, so what's the matter? ”

Wei Hong didn't answer, but stood up directly, left the table, didn't even say goodbye, and changed to a polite surname, or this is the real Wei Hong. Leaving the restaurant, Wei Hong went back to Hongyuan Commercial Bank and asked a servant in his twenties to follow Wei Hong to the city gate with medicine.

I remember that night, Yan Ruyu once said to Wei Hong: "If you are not an enemy of others, it does not mean that others will treat you well." "Just now, Comrade Lao Li removed all authority from Wei Hong on this matter and replaced him with Wei Zheng. Wei Hong had already figured out that someone must be obstructing him, after all, the light was blind last night, so the details would have been absolutely impossible to know if Comrade Lao Li hadn't deliberately asked. And now that Comrade Lao Li knows, he must have made a detailed report on last night's events by someone with ulterior motives, so as to achieve the goal of weakening Wei Hong's position in Comrade Lao Li's mind. The rebellion is the thing that the royal family is most concerned about, and whoever does this case well will win the trust of Comrade Lao Li very much. Although Wei Zheng is the most suspicious now, Wei Hong can be sure that that person is definitely not Wei Zheng. After all, with Wei Zheng's ability, prestige, and status, there is no need to improve himself in order to step on others. Therefore, the person who reported to Comrade Lao Li was definitely the opposite of Wei Hong. As long as you start with the soldiers who participated in the round-up last night, you can find out who is in the way. Although Wei Hong has no real power now, it is not difficult to bring down a person, and now we will wait to see who has to touch Wei Hong's scales without believing in evil.

When he arrived at the north city gate, Wei Hong asked the servants to wait in place, while he patrolled around the city gate and talked to each of the soldiers who participated in the round-up. On the surface, it was for Yan Ruyu's case, but secretly he observed the words and deeds of the soldiers, and once he found a suspicious person, he kept it in his heart.

After they all finished talking, it was already afternoon, and the hard work paid off, and Wei Hong found a particularly suspicious person. This soldier's name is Wang Ke, he is in his thirties, and when he talks to Wei Hong, as long as he talks about specific details, his eyes are very flickering. Especially when it comes to who reported to the top, he seems to be even more stumbling. In the end, under the temptation of Wei Hong, he confided that he was the one who reported to the top. Since he reported it, why did he only promise and refuse to admit it until the end? If nothing else, he can't fake it.

Wei Hong knew it in his heart, pretended to be nothing, and informed the officers and soldiers guarding the city, saying that he was going around the city gate to check for some clues, so as to arrest Yan Ruyu. After leaving the city gate, Wei Hong told the servant the address that Yan Ruyu hid and asked the servant to send the medicine. He wandered around the city gates without a head, and because it was still snowing, the visibility was not high, so he was not worried about being found out that the servant was gone.

It wasn't until late that the servants hurried back. Wei Hong didn't say a word, and took the servant back home. After returning to Hongyuan Commercial Bank, Wei Hong took out two hundred taels of silver from his small treasury and gave it to the servant. And a letter was written by himself, and the servant was brought to Hangzhou and handed over to Lei Chuhan, during which no one was allowed to know about the existence of the letter. After Lei Chuhan received the letter, he would naturally know what to do.

The content of the letter is that Wei Hong invited Lei Chuhan to come to the capital and asked Lei Chuhan to secretly develop the Blue and White Society in the capital in order to help him mark people. Wei Hong didn't know that Comrade Lao Li had removed all the eyeliner that was secretly monitoring him, and asked Lei Chuhan to come to the capital, on the one hand, in order to monitor Comrade Li's eyeliner. Second, it can be used as an underground intelligence agency to help Wei Hong spy on others. After all, if Wei Hong wants to change his way of dealing with the world, he must have his own intelligence sources, otherwise he will fight alone, and the odds of winning will be very low. In addition, Wei Hong specifically mentioned in the letter that he left the servant in Hangzhou and sent him to the headquarters of Hongyuan Commercial Bank on an errand, and he was not allowed to return to the capital in the future. Wei Hong didn't say the reason in the letter, in fact, it was to prevent the servant from leaking Yan Ruyu's news, and the two hundred taels of silver should be hush money.

After explaining, Wei Hong went to the north gate alone and secretly called out the chief who was guarding the city gate at night. This chief's name is Qian Rong, and he has a nine-year-old in Chinese New Year's Eve, his hometown is in the Dingzhou area, and he has been working as an errand in the capital for more than ten years. According to the information Wei Hong learned, this Qian Rong has always been decent, has no connections, and has no opponents. This makes him can only be a small official at the city gate all the time, and he is destined to have no big success.

When Wei Hong found him, Qian Rong was a little flattered, after all, a character like Wei Hong, who could meet and talk directly with the saint, could invite him to come out to talk in person, which could be said to give him enough face.

Walking to the corner of the city wall, there was no one here due to the cold weather and the night. Wei Hong didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to the topic: "Qian Rong, do you know Wang Ke's origin?" ”

There are only a few dozen officers and soldiers defending the city, and after thinking about it for many years, Qian Rong knew who it was as soon as he heard the name. At the moment, I was slightly puzzled: "What does Mr. mean?" ”

Wei Hong took a breath of cold breath and said, "What did this Wang Ke do before guarding the city gate?" When did the gates be guarded? Do you have any special connections? ”

Hearing this, Qian Rong instinctively smelled a dangerous smell. After all, he still knows the truth that you have to eat more and talk less. There are some things to say and some things not to say, and if you can't control your mouth, you are likely to cause unnecessary trouble for yourself. After careful consideration, Qian Rong shook his head: "Mr. asked the wrong person, I don't know much about this matter. After all, there are dozens of people guarding the city gate, and Wang Ke said it before, and I have long forgotten it by now. ”

Wei Hong naturally knew what Qian Rong was worried about, and immediately said: "The reason why I asked you to come out so late to talk about Wang Ke is because I suspect that Wang Ke and Yan Ruyu, the son of a traitor, have an ulterior secret. If you know something, but you want to hide it. When I find out for myself, you will also be held accountable. You also know that once you get involved with this kind of thing and take responsibility, the end is often miserable. You've got to think about it. On the contrary, if you say it, when Yan Ruyu is captured, you will also be credited! Maybe you can say goodbye to the drudgery of guarding the city gate forever! (To be continued.) )
