In recent years, everything is written by himself, Su Ziming's handwritten "Interim Regulations of the Governor of the Great Xia Customs Yamen", Yang Zhi has read it many times, and the concise and concise secret letter is indeed from Su Ziming's handwriting.

The establishment of the Governor's Yamen of Customs, the regulation of the wealthy businessmen and tycoons engaged in import and export trade, and the imposition of heavy taxes will inevitably involve the vital interests of various forces, and it is only a matter of time before there are conflicts. On the one hand, selling official positions and encouraging donations is to raise a source of funds for the unrepaid burden, and on the other hand, it is also to temporarily not touch the vital interests of various forces and to gain time for themselves.

Su Ziming's assassination made Yang Zhi ashamed for a while. If the benefits involved are huge, it is enough to make anyone mad. Overestimating yourself! Too underestimating the opponent!

After reading the secret letter, he asked expressionlessly, "What do you think?" ”

There were no outsiders here, Qin Kongyun said bluntly: "From the moment I received the secret letter, I immediately began to think about it. Very clever and troublesome. The enemy is dark and I am bright, thousands of miles away. The other party only attacked Jinan as a warning? Or will the tiger leave the mountain to lead you out of Jinling, and then do it later? I don't know what the plot is! ”

Yang Zhi pondered for a long time, and ordered someone to call Xue Qingyun and Yun Niang together. After the two of them came inexplicably, Yang Zhi didn't speak, only frowned and clicked on the secret letter on the table.

On that day, Yun Niang was invited to come, specially "cooked dishes" for Yang Zhi, and returned to the prefect's mansion safely. Two days later, news came out from the government that the cook Yun Niang asked to resign and return to her hometown. Although the prefect was reluctant, he still arranged for the butler to give him a gift on the ship. As for where Yun Niang's hometown is, no one knows. Another day passed. In the back house of the Governor of Customs, there was quietly a young "scribe" with a different face. Yun Niang, who had erased her disguise, had picturesque eyebrows and looked about twenty-four or five years old. A men's outfit is quite sassy.

It was late at night, and he was suddenly summoned to Yang Zhi's bedroom. And Qin Kongyun, the eldest son of the Qin family, was also there, Xue Qingyun and Yun Niang glanced at each other, knowing that there was a major emergency.

The content of the secret letter is simple and easy to understand at a glance. Xue Qingyun exclaimed: "Brother Su was assassinated?!" ”

Yun Niang's surprise was that the date of the secret letter: October 30. Jinan is more than 1,300 miles away from Jinling, but in just two days, the secret letter has been passed to Yang Zhi through the Qin family. The imperial court's six-hundred-mile rush may barely be possible, but it is through the relay of changing people and horses at the official posts along the way. The speed and efficiency of the Qin Clan's intelligence system are terrifying!

Yang Zhi's decision made the three of them gasp in unison, and they saw him say with a cold expression: "Second brother." I will reply with a handwritten letter later, asking you to take it to Jinan overnight. At the same time, I ordered the Qin's semicolon to prepare the horses to pick up, and if I changed three to four horses day and night, I should be able to rush to Jinan within three days. ”

Qin Kongyun nodded solemnly and agreed: "Okay." It is inconvenient to go out of the city late at night, but it is not difficult to spread the news through the pigeon book of night training. ”

Yun Niang was stunned and said, "Rush to Jinan within three days?" Hou Ye,...... Are you crazy? Do you think you are made of iron? ”

Xue Qingyun's head was already in a cold sweat: "Please be calm and don't be impatient, this matter still has to be discussed in the long run." ”

"Brother Qingyun, I'm calm." Yang Zhi said resolutely: "I'm not discussing with you. The other party should know that there is nothing to stop the Governor of Customs. At best, it's just slowing my progress. The other party also knew that I was in Jinling, and chose to start in Jinan, which deliberately gave me a problem. Because rushing to Jinan and staying in Jinling do not seem to be suitable. Meanwhile. It will also make me worry about whether to set up a branch office in Yuhang in the near future. This is a provocation and a temptation, and there will inevitably be ulterior and major interests behind it. ”

"I can't let the other person lead the way! Brother Su escaped by luck. According to common sense, it was not enough for me to rush to Jinan. The purpose has not yet been achieved. The other party will not stop and withdraw, and it is very likely that it will continue to stay in Jinan. Prepare to stab again. The other party thinks that I won't go yet, I want to go! Even if the other party expected me to go, they would never have imagined that I would go so quickly! The soldiers are very fast, and this just bought me a few days! ”

The three of them listened attentively, and after thinking about it, what Yang Zhi said did make sense.

Yang Zhi continued: "What will be done next, that is the other party's business, what we should do and what we should do." Our biggest problem at the moment is that we are extremely short of competent manpower, and we can only rely on the power of the Qin Clan. Second brother, I am tired of you immediately mobilize dozens of guards from the Qin clan after dawn, divide them into light and dark roads, and ask you to personally escort Gao Kejing to Yuhang to take up his post. ”

Qin Kongyun said tacitly: "I won't leave Yuhang until I hear from you." ”

He also instructed: "In Jinling, Yun Niang's pressure is slightly greater. Be sure to make every effort to ensure the personal safety of Zhang Gan and Brother Qingyun! If you really don't have enough manpower, you may wish to contact and recruit some people to help. If you want the official to give the official, you want money to give money, you and Brother Qingyun can just watch it. Zhou Renjie's background is very complicated, try not to alarm him. When necessary, you can use my official seal to mobilize the garrison! In the event of an attack, it is best to leave a few alive if possible. ”

"Yun Niang, there is one more section, at least within three days, you have to find a way to let outsiders see, I Yang Zhi has not gone anywhere, I still stay in Jinling, the longer the time drags on, the better!"

This is the first time that Yang Zhi has personally assigned specific tasks since Yun Niang was appointed as the commander of the Detective Division. None of this is difficult for her.

Strange people and strange people who are dedicated to chivalry and righteousness are not absent in this world. But the two magic weapons of officials and money have always had an irresistible huge attraction for people who eat rivers and lakes. While admiring Yang Zhi's trust in her, Yun Niang also deeply realized why Yang Zhi was in a hurry to set up an intelligence system directly under the Governor of Customs.

As Yang Zhi said, there is still a time difference of three or five days in the middle, and Xue Qingyun and Yun Niang can arrange it calmly.

The first people to leave the city every day are usually carts that pull dung. As soon as the next day dawned, Yang Zhi turned into a small servant and quietly followed the dung truck out of the city.

The other "Yang Zhi", as usual, had breakfast with Zhang Gan and Xue Qingyun, who also lived in the back house of the customs governor's yamen, and then, accompanied by Xue Qingyun, swaggered to the house outside the city to house the officials. Zhang Gan didn't have any superfluous reactions, if Xue Qingyun hadn't known about it in advance and looked carefully, how could he have thought that this "Yang Zhi" was actually pretended to be by Yun Niang?

Thanks to Su Ziming's shrewdness and ability, the Jinan branch office has been officially listed as acting official business. When he was suddenly assassinated on October 30, he immediately wrote a secret letter and forwarded it to Yang Zhi with the Jinan branch of the Qin family.

Due to the transportation and communication conditions of this era, when Su Ziming sent a secret letter, to be honest, he didn't know where Yang Zhi was. Su Ziming only knew that the Qin clan's semicolons were all over the world, and they had almost the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. As long as the secret letter is handed over to the Qin family, it will definitely be delivered to Yang Zhi!

I didn't want to think that on the evening of the fourth day of November, I received a handwritten reply from Yang Zhi: Be careful, watch things as usual, trap the killer, and wait for me to come.

If Aunt Jin is the chairman of the killer organization Qixi, then Liu Er usually plays the role of general manager.

In fact, neither Su Ziming nor Liu Er expected that Yang Zhi's reply would come so quickly. The reply arrived, and when Yang Zhiren arrived in Jinan, the two thought that it would be around the 10th of November at the earliest. Su Ziming's cunning and Liu Er's professionalism are beyond doubt. If you wait for Yang Zhi's instructions to deal with it, the daylily will be cold.

On the night of the assassination, the result of the overnight discussion between the two coincided with Yang Zhi's instructions: pretending to be nothing on the surface, and secretly setting up a trap to trap him. In the middle of the night of November 4, when I received Yang's reply letter, there was really a lot of movement in the courtyard of the Jinan Branch! (To be continued......)
