The room was brightly lit, and all kinds of documents copied from Gai Jiaojiao's room were piled up like their brilliant results today, and the intelligence agency set up in Dasui was completely destroyed, and all 242 members were killed, no one survived, and no one escaped, and from the documents, the Sui army also dug up more than a dozen officials, including Zhuojun Cangcao, who accepted bribes and provided information.

But how many Sui officials provided intelligence and assistance to the Goryeos, and how many merchants smuggled contraband into Goryeo, these secrets were drowned in thousands of various documents.

Yang Yuanqing sent 20 civilian officials from the army to participate in sorting out the materials, and finally his clerk Lang Jia Zhengyi unified the summary.

Yang Yuanqing also sat in front of the table, there was a flat wooden box on the table, which was obtained from Gai Jiaojiao's body, there were only three or four documents in the wooden box, but the content was terrifying, one was the garrison of the Great Sui Dynasty in various places, the content was very detailed, including how many military offices, including the number of cavalry and infantry, but with the great mobilization of the Goryeo War, this information has lost its meaning.

There is also a tax of the counties of the Great Sui and the grain storage of several large granaries, which is actually of little significance.

What intrigued Yang Yuanqing was Chapter 412.

Yang Yuanqing smiled, put away the slave deed, and when he saw that it was late at night, he said to everyone: "Let's go back and rest!" I'll continue tomorrow. ”

Everyone cleaned up, and then they said goodbye, Yang Yuanqing also left the room and walked towards the middle hall, several soldiers were still guarding in front of the door of the wing, Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, "You guys retreat!" ”

The soldiers retreated, Yang Yuanqing pushed the door into the room, the room was dark, and the young woman could be faintly seen still squatting in the corner, Yang Yuanqing lit the lamp, walked in front of her and squatted, Ah Lian's head buried deeper.

Yang Yuanqing looked at her for a long time, smiled and said, "Your name is Zhen Lian, right?" ”

Ah Lian trembled, slowly raised her head, and asked timidly, "How do you know?" ”

Yang Yuanqing took out the slave deed from his arms and handed it to her, "This is your deed of sale, return it to you, from now on, you are no longer a slave." ”

Ah Lian hesitated to take the slave contract, not as excited as Yang Yuanqing imagined, nor did she kneel down and kowtow to him, but there was a trace of confusion in her eyes, for her, 'Freedom, two words are too far away.'

"What about your parents? Brothers and sisters, are you still there? ”

Perhaps because of Yang Yuanqing's soft voice, the timidity in Ah Lian's eyes gradually subsided, and she whispered: "The slave is an orphan and has no parents and sisters. ”

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "The case of the Korean people has been closed, it has nothing to do with you, you can leave at any time, I will give you a choice!" If you want to leave, I will give you twenty taels of gold, and you can make a living by yourself, join relatives and friends or whatever, I don't care, there is another choice, that is, stay and be my maid, I will not force you.

After speaking, Yang Yuanqing looked at her, Ah Lian lowered her head and said nothing, Yang Yuanqing felt the contradiction in her heart, so she took out a piece of gold, stuffed it into her hand, and turned away.

Ah Lian is still sitting in the corner, she is facing her own choice for the first time in her life, she doesn't know what to do?

Yang Yuanqing returned to the study and immediately ordered: "Let Zhang Sheng come to see me!" ”

After a while, Zhang Sheng walked in quickly, bowed down and saluted: "See the general!" ”

"Zhang Sheng, how many years have you been with me?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

"Returning to the general, the humble post is the second year of Renshou to follow the general, and it has been ten years."

"It's been ten years, you're only a school captain, I'll treat you badly!"

Zhang Sheng hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "The humble post is trusted by the general, and he has served as the leader of the personal guard for three years, in the eyes of the humble position, this is the greatest glory." ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Now I want you to do a bigger business, I'll give you a sum of money, you go to the capital to buy a big restaurant, you can hire a big shopkeeper, and you will be the proprietor behind the scenes." ”

Zhang Sheng is also an extremely smart person, he thought about it and said, "Does the general want me to become a spy instead?" ”

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "You are indeed very smart, but you can't be called a spy, I have already thought of a name, called the White Eagle Battalion, the White Eagle is a prairie peeper, I officially promoted you to the captain, just like the Korean people we killed today, give me the intelligence to probe the capital, and if necessary, I will also be an assassin, I will give you thirty personal guards, and the required expenses will be provided by the Red Rust Winery in Fengdu in the capital, and you will be fully responsible." ”

Zhang Sheng felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, but he did not hesitate to salute: "I am willing to serve the general!" ”

Yang Yuanqing stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said approvingly: "Work hard, one day, you will also become a general!" ”

"I understand my humble position, and I will return to Beijing overnight tonight."

Zhang Sheng's heart was excited, he stood up, bowed deeply, turned around and left.

Yang Yuanqing leaned on the soft couch, thinking in his heart that the intelligence network he had laid out would eventually cover the entire Great Sui, of course, it would take a long time, but several important cities could be built first, Beijing, Chang'an, Jiangdu, Youzhou, Chengdu, Xiangyang, these are all major central cities.

Yang Yuanqing's first consideration was Chang'an and Jiangdu, he knew that the Pei family had big business in these two places, could he use the Pei family's business network to establish an intelligence point, the question was once the Pei family knew what he thought, what would the Pei family think? Can they accept their ambitions? Yang Yuanqing felt the need to have a good talk with Pei Ju.

"General!"

The voice of the guard came from outside the door, "Can the general come out for a while?" ”

Yang Yuanqing got up and walked out of the door, but saw Ah Lian standing at the door with her head down.

"What? Haven't left yet? Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

Ah Lian bit her lip and returned the gold to him, "I don't want it!" ”

Yang Yuanqing took the gold, glanced at her, and then turned around and entered the house, "You come in."

Ah Lian walked into the room and stood timidly in front of Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yuanqing sat down and asked her softly, "Did you decide on the second choice?" ”

Ah Lian nodded, her face turned red, and gave him the slave deed, Yang Yuanqing took the slave deed and tore it to pieces, and smiled faintly, "You can be my maid, but you don't need to be a slave." ”

Ah Lian suddenly knelt down, "Ah Lian is willing to follow the master and serve the master!" ”

"You don't need to call me master, call me son."

Yang Yuanqing smiled gently: "I feel very inconvenient because I don't have a personal maid around, and I even have to comb my hair by myself, although there are also a few maids in the inner courtyard, I don't like it very much, I feel that you are good, honest and obedient, you will follow me in the future!" ”

"Yes! Childe"

Ah Lian is very timid, she has heard the hostess mention Yang Yuanqing more than once, saying that this person is ruthless and murderous, she also knows that the master sent someone to assassinate Yang Yuanqing failed, she has a deep fear of Yang Yuanqing in her heart, she stayed more out of a kind of fear, she was afraid that if she didn't agree, she would be killed by Yang Yuanqing.

Of course, Yang Yuanqing tore up her slave contract, and she was also grateful in her heart, hidden deep in her heart.

She saw that the teacup on Yang Yuanqing's table was empty, so she picked up the teacup and said, "I can make sencha, I'll give my son sencha." ”

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "Where do you go to sencha, where are the tea leaves?" ”

Ah Lian stopped all of a sudden, slowly lowered her head, she didn't know anything.

Yang Yuanqing ordered the soldiers outside the door, "Go and call Qiu Ju." ”

The soldiers went, Yang Yuanqing looked at Ah Lian, in fact, Ah Lian is very pretty, on the one hand, more importantly, Yang Yuanqing really needs a maid to take care of his daily life, Ah Siduo is a good lover, but the service is very unqualified, even the hair can't be combed, and there is no patience, maybe it is a kind of fate, Yang Yuanqing saw Ah Lian for the first time, and felt that she had a kind of cowardice in her bones, he liked this feeling.

"Don't raise the beauty in the future, don't mention it to anyone, remember?"

Ah Lian nodded silently, although she was timid, she was smart in her heart, she knew that Gao Li was related to spies, and she would never tell anyone about it.

After a while, a little maid rushed in, "Master, did you call me?" ”

The three maids were all promoted to him by Cui Hong, Yang Yuanqing didn't like any of them, Yang Yuanqing pointed to Ah Lian and said to her: "From today on, she is my personal maid, you take her to familiarize herself with the mansion, and the room next to me, clean up for her to live." ”

"Yes!"

The little maid said to Ah Lian: "Girl, please come with me!" ”

Ah Lian saluted Yang Yuanqing Yingying and followed the maid out.

Half an hour later, Ah Lian gently placed a cup of mellow tea on Yang Yuanqing's table, then stood aside and lowered her head timidly.
