Since Feng Suqin has been taken out of the city by this damn Lou family's eldest son, Lou Chuan, it is no wonder that more than 3,000 people of the Liang army can't be found in Zhenyuan City. Xu Liang immediately thought of asking Wu Side: "Do you know where the ship is most likely to go?" ”

In Xu Liang's mind, since the boat has gone out of the city, it is almost late at night today, so he can only hope that he will send someone out of the city tomorrow morning to chase him. However, Shaanxi Province is a vast sea of people, and if you look for it aimlessly, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

But Wu Side listened to Xu Liang's question, but he was blind. Although he is the second shopkeeper of Loujia's grain store, he is not a person sent by Loujiabao, but a native of Zhenyuan County. The big shopkeeper of the partial building family has a very heavy desire for power, and only let Wu Side be in charge of the business in the original city, import and export goods to the outside world, and never let Wu Side interfere in the affairs of the contact. Yes, if it is the layout in Zhenyuan City, Wu Side is naturally clear, as for the external situation of the Lou family, then his eyes are dark.

Wu Side shook his head and said, "I don't know, little one." I hate that Lou Zhifu, and never let the little one meddle in any external affairs. ”

Xu Liang had no choice but to bring in Lou Ji, the big shopkeeper Lou Zhi, who had woken up, and asked him.

The fifth master of Lou, who was already cloaked in a cloak and looked like a ghost, no longer had the majesty of the past, he was panting like a broken bellows, his chest rose and fell violently, and his head was sweating profusely. After listening to Xu Liang's question, the old man stared at Xu Liang with a resentful gaze, if his gaze could kill, he was afraid that Xu Liang would be broken into ten thousand pieces by him.

Wu Side saw Lou Zhi's virtue, for fear that he would anger Xu Liang again and affect himself. stepped forward and said to Lou Zhi: "Fifth master, there is a way to know the current affairs for Junjie, the younger one has told Lord Xu about the story of the eldest prince taking Mrs. Xu out of the city. You just don't hold on to it anymore. Hurry up and tell Lord Xu about the distribution of the Lou family's forces outside Zhenyuan City, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin again. ”

"Phew! You traitor! Lou Zhi squirted a mouthful of bloody saliva at Woodsted, squirting the unprepared Woodsted all over his face.

"You! You old fellow! Woodsd was furious, took a few steps back and quickly wiped the blood with his cuffs.

"Backbone!" Xu Liang was surprised, stared at Lou Zhi and said.

"Oh, today the old man fell into your hands, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it." Lou Zhi's voice was hoarse, but his tone was very absolute, he knew in his heart that this time Lou Dagongzi robbed Xu Liang's wife, the so-called hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, and the hatred of taking his wife. Xu Liang and the Liang son of the Lou family have already formed, and it is difficult to be good. Now that the eldest son of Lou has escaped, he has fallen into the hands of Xu Liang, whether he confesses or not, he will not escape death.

If Xu Liang is truthfully recruited, then even if Xu Liang can let himself live, with the personality of Lou Gongzi who must repay him, he will definitely be severely punished, and most of them will implicate his family in Loujiabao. Unlike Wu Side, the second shopkeeper who was born and raised in Zhenyuan, Lou Zhi is a relative of the Lou family in Loujiabao, and he was sent directly from Loujiabao to Zhenyuan to sit in Zhenyuan, which is regarded as a long-term station, and several children mostly work in Lou's family.

If you don't fight to the death, it will naturally be difficult to escape death, but at least you can save your family and children, and you can also have a good reputation in the Lou family. After thinking about this, Lou Wuye made up his mind, even if he died in the hands of Xu Liang, he would have to keep his teeth shut and not reveal the slightest news about the Lou family.

Xu Liang asked a few times, but Lou Zhi stared at his resentful eyes and didn't say a word. Huang Ziren, Xing Zhongshan, Dai Yingying, Tie Shou and others went into battle one by one, and they took turns to ask, but the old man stared at the dead fish eyes, and his expression did not even change.

Xu Liang understood that this old guy was planning to fight to the end.

In the end, Xu Liang was angry, and ordered someone to drag out the soft and hard Lou Zhi and beat him until he passed out.

Sleepless nights.

The next day, on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the sky was just slightly bright, and the stars in the night sky had not yet disappeared. The middle gate of Xufu was wide open, and several groups of Liang soldiers on horseback rode out of the gate in turn, and ran to the city gate in the north-south direction.

Although he didn't ask for any information about the Lou family from Lou Zhi's mouth, Xu Liang still sent thousands of people out of the city to search for possible clues.

Xu Liang and Dai Yingying had breakfast on a grassy basis, and once again climbed the South City Gate Tower, looking out, hoping that one or two groups of people would return and bring news of Feng Suqin.

The massive search in the city continues. In broad daylight, the dignified young lady of Xufu was actually arrested in the heavily guarded Zhenyuan City, which was regarded as a great shame by Huang Ziren, the inspector of the Zhenyuan County Inspection Division. Huang Ziren was ruthless, and ordered all the officers and soldiers of the Inspection Department to go door-to-door to search all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods that were hidden in the dark corners of Zhenyuan City.

Nearly noon, the official road outside the town is sparsely populated, the streets and alleys in the town are jumping chickens and dogs, but the south gate of the city is quiet and abnormal. Xu Liang sat on the observation deck of the city tower, and the pot of tea on the table in front of him was already cold. Xu Liang looked at the end of the official road, whenever there was a puller, he looked very nervous, and when he got closer and saw clearly, he found that it was not the Liang officer and soldier who was looking forward to returning to report the news, so he was disappointed again.

Dai Yingying saw that it was not early, so she couldn't help but say loudly: "Xu Liang, it's noon, it's time for lunch." In the morning you drank a bowl of gruel. ”

"I'm not hungry." Xu Liang shook his head and turned his head to look at Dai Yingying, his eyes full of sadness.

"Suqin can't be found again, can she?"

Dai Yingying's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, met Xu Liang's gaze, understood the sadness in it, and couldn't bear to turn her head. She just didn't know how to answer.

"Isn't that right?" Xu Liang asked again, as if he was unwilling to get an answer.

How do I answer this? Dai Yingying murmured in her heart, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles, if the eldest prince of the Lou family wants to hide Feng Suqin, even if Xu Liang sends out nearly 10,000 Liang officers and soldiers, the probability of finding Feng Suqin again is very small. What's more, he is facing the Lou family who has been entrenched in the northwest for hundreds of years.

If Feng Suqin can never be found, then will Xu Liang marry him and replace him?

Dai Yingying was startled by this thought that suddenly popped up in her heart, and then quickly retorted with a red face.

How can I have such unbearable thoughts? Feng Suqin's life and death are uncertain, Xu Liang is worried, I must not take advantage of others' danger!

In the blink of an eye, Dai Yingying had already turned several thoughts in her heart, and she looked up in a panic to see that Xu Liang's eyes were still staring at her, and she looked up and said affirmatively: "No." The young lady will definitely be able to get it back. ”

"Really?" Xu Liang withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself.

"Absolutely." Dai Yingying nodded seriously, "It's a pity that we don't have a firm foothold in Shaanxi, and we don't know much about the northwest forces, otherwise, we will never let the eldest prince of that building escape from the city in a grand manner." ”

Lou Dagongzi Lou Chuan escaped from Zhenyuan City under Dai Yingying's nose, and Dai Yingying was also very self-blaming.

"yes. Our information is so ill-informed. Xu Liang sighed. It's time to build our own news network. ”

After Xu Liang finished speaking, he turned around and went down to the city tower to return to Xu's mansion and find the iron head.

"Young Master." The iron butler had actually been in the temporary cell of the Xu Mansion all morning interrogating Lou Ji, the chief treasurer, Lou Zhi and others. Hearing the news of Xu Liang's recruitment, he soon came to Xu Liang's study.

"Did Lou Zhi say anything?" Xu Liang asked.

The iron head was very angry and helpless, spread his hands, and said hatefully: "This old guy is really angry, and he fainted again in the morning, and still didn't say anything. ”

Xu Liang leaned back on the Taishi chair, and said when he heard the words: "I think this old thing has some backbone, and it will be difficult to make a breakthrough if it is tried again." Shut it up first, don't fight anymore, beware of being killed. ”

Iron Head nodded.

"I'm looking for you because there's one of the most important things I want you to do right now." Xu Liang said.

When the iron head heard this, he hurriedly lowered his hand and arched his hand, listening attentively.

"The arrest of the young lady has once again exposed our Achilles' heel, and the news is too bad. I didn't even know what the grand prince of the dignified family fort looked like, so I let the bastard escape. Xu Liang thought of Lou Dagongzi Lou Chuan, who had met once, and gritted his teeth with hatred, he looked at the iron head and said solemnly: "Listen, I want you to form a reconnaissance team that is only loyal to me Xu Liang from today, as our eyes in the future." For me to investigate the news of Zhenyuan, Pingliang, Shaanxi, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, all the news that may be useful to us now and in the future will be tried to find out as much as possible. ”

Tietou heard Xu Liang say so solemnly, and felt a heavy responsibility, moved by Xu Liang's trust in him so much, straightened his chest, patted his chest and expressed his determination: "Young master, don't worry, Tietou will handle this matter immediately." ”

Xu Liang nodded, gave Tie Tou a trusting look, and said kindly: "Ah Tie, you have always been the most trusted person by my Xu Liang. This matter is the most important, but it also needs to be kept secret, even Huang Ziren, Xing Zhongshan and others should not disclose it. I think about it, you are the only one who is suitable for this task. You have to be careful. ”

Tietou's eyes were moist, since Xu Liang came to Zhenyuan County, this was the first time he called himself Ah Tie. Originally, he thought that Xu Liangguan would be an adult, his power had risen, and his subordinates had more people to use, so he had already forgotten about his brother who played in a small area, and from then on there was only a pure master-servant relationship. Today, he heard the title of Ah Tie from Xu Liang's mouth again, and suddenly realized that the young master is still the same young master, and he has never changed.

Tie Tou wiped the corners of his eyes, wiped away the hot tears that were about to roll down, and said in a choked voice: "Young Master, Ah Tie will definitely not let you down." ”

Xu Liang was also a little moved, and scolded with a smile: "I'm talking to you about something, why are you crying!" ”

"I, I didn't cry." Tietou wiped the corners of his eyes again, showed a smile and said, "Ah Tie is happy." ”

"Huh." Xu Liang smiled, "I'm also very happy." After that, Xu Liang got up and walked to Tietou's side, put his hand on Tietou's shoulder, and said softly: "This team, I named it Tsing Yi Wei." Hehe, the Ming Dynasty has a brocade guard, and I Xu Liang has a Tsing Yi guard. Ah Tie, you are the first big stall leader of Tsing Yi Wei. The manpower of the Tsing Yi Guard was formed to select smart and capable people from the 500 pro-military battalions of the Jitou Mountain Battalion, and then absorbed other strange people. I have sent a letter to Ge Qiao and Dai Feng in Jianchang, and they will soon open a branch of Tongtianxia Logistics to Shaanxi, and then all the branches of Tongtianxia Logistics, Tsing Yi Wei will have to install people. ”

The iron head listened attentively, for fear that he would miss a little.

"At present, Tsing Yiwei's top priority is to interrogate the hundreds of suspicious elements arrested by Huang Ziren, especially the hundreds of guys from Lou Ji Grain Store, and they must be interrogated strictly. The old man Lou has a hard mouth, I don't believe that other people can be so tough, there are always a few who are afraid of death. ”

Tietou found a pen and paper for a few points Xu Liang said, and wrote them down one by one. After remembering it, thinking of the gambler Hu Chenggong who was locked up in the firewood room of Xu Mansion, he said: "Young master, to form the Tsing Yi Guard, Ah Tie thought of a suitable person who is suitable for finding out the news." ”

"Who?" Xu Liang asked.

"The gambler Hu Chenggong who was caught yesterday." Tietou remembered the experience of seeing the gambler in the firewood room in the morning, and couldn't help laughing: "I went to see him once in the morning, that kid doesn't look like a gambler, but he is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, resisting abduction, cheating to eat and drink, and has no fixed place, he has stayed in every province in Shaanxi, and he is also clever, according to him, he has escaped death from the hands of officers and soldiers and thieves several times, if he can be absorbed in, he will be able to play a great role." ”

Xu Liang thought of Hu Chenggong grabbing wine and meat with both hands on the stone table, and said funny: "I didn't expect this Hu Chenggong to be a wonderful person." Ah Tie, you go to talk to him, it's best to recruit Tsing Yi Wei. ”
