(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )

Late at night, the whole city of Beijing fell silent, except for the husband, there were also night guards roaming the streets. Every household in Beijing has long since turned off the lights, and even the most lively Spring Pavilion has fallen silent at the moment.

In an ordinary house in Lumicang Hutong, a slight sound of footsteps sounded, and the three brothers Hao Laosan, Hao Laowu, and Hao Laoba in the house were immediately alert, took their personal weapons and quickly approached the door and window.

"Knock knock, knock knock!" Outside the door, a person knocked on the door, and then whispered, "My heart is for the bright moon!" ”

"The bright moon shines on my heart!" An answer was followed by an instant, and they were opened. "Third Brother Geng, Boss Shen, you're late!"

"I'm sorry Third Brother Hao, there are more and more Tartars patrolling the streets, and it took a little more time to hide from them." Walking in front was a tall and thin man about thirty years old, tall and thin, with high and bulging cheekbones, giving people a gloomy feeling. Because he is the third in the family, the younger ones are generally called Geng Sange, and he is one of the captains of the two special operations teams in the capital. Beside him, who was silent and silent, was the captain of the other action team, Shen Feng, and Boss Shen.

Lu Mi Cang is in the south street of Chaoyangmen in Beijing, and the place name here is called Lu Mi Cang Hutong. Since the Ming Dynasty, the Lu rice warehouse has been a granary dedicated to storing rice from Beijing officials, but the location here is very good but it is not taken seriously, it is not a confidential department, and there are ordinary people who live around. Since the Southern War, Geng Hou, who received the news in advance, closed all the famous shops of the Geng family in the capital, and the personnel were dispersed and evacuated. Only the shadows that had been laid down were left. This Lumicang Hutong is one of the most important strongholds. Although Geng Hou himself has returned to Fuzhou. But here he also left behind his right-hand men.

The head of the Beijing branch of the Ministry of Intelligence is Hao Laosan, the eldest of the three brothers of the Hao family. The three brothers are all from Wei Geng Jingzhong's hometown in Gaizhou, Liaodong, and there is absolutely no problem with loyalty. Originally, they had eight brothers and sisters, but when they were young and in chaos, only the three of them survived the eight, and after joining the Geng family's army, because of their skills and calm and alertness, the three brothers were all selected into the team that did not collect at night. After many years of fighting with the army in the east and west, the increase in experience has made the ability more and more, especially in the experience of the capital in the past few years, it is completely able to take charge of itself, so Geng Hou has Geng Jingzhong to rest assured that the most important part of the capital will be handed over to him to take care of, with the assistance of his two brothers, there is indeed no problem for several months in a row.

"Hehe, I've been waiting for you for a long time! If you don't come again, the sky will be bright! Hao Lao Wu smiled slightly.

"What is this mission? You actually called me and Brother Shen at the same time? Geng Laosan didn't talk nonsense when he entered the door, and asked directly. But he was a little excited. It's been a long time since they've been on a mission!

The silent Boss Shen also said out loud: "Yes, Hao Tou'er, the brothers haven't had a mission for more than half a year. Take such a basic monthly salary every month, the brothers are short of money, and they are about to rebel against me! ”

"Hey, you Shen madman, except for a few generals, no one is higher than you in your monthly salary, two more silver dollars per month than our brothers, are you embarrassed to say it?" Hao Laoba said dissatisfiedly, they are the main person in charge of the intelligence department of the capital, and Hao Laosan is the leader here, so their monthly salary is not as good as the captains of these two action teams, and when he heard Shen Feng shouting that he was short of money, he immediately shouted, but he suppressed his voice, and his voice was only heard by the people in the house.

Hao Laosan glanced at Shen Feng and didn't say anything, but Hao Laowu said: "The work done by the action team is very dangerous, but the salary is also high, and I have long wanted to be transferred to lead the action team, but the adults have not allowed it, hey"

"Alright, your big business is here this time!" Hao Laosan interrupted them and said: "According to reliable news from the palace, those rich people in Shanxi have pooled three million taels of silver to dedicate to Kangxi, and they are on their way to the capital at this time. At this time, I am afraid that he has already entered Baoding Mansion, and it is less than four hundred miles away from the capital, or he will arrive in the capital in a few days, so we have to think of something to stop him. ”

"Yes, the imperial court must not be allowed to get this silver, otherwise they can use this silver very lightly to form a new army of 100,000, whether it is for our Metropolitan Governor or Wu Sangui's side." Hao Lao Wu said coldly.

The two squad captains didn't say anything, but judging from the expressions on their faces, they were very expectant, this is a fat difference. According to the rules set by the Ministry of Intelligence, they can take 40% of the materials seized by their team and hand over the rest. Of course, this is during the field mission, and if you attack a target in the city, you can receive a bounty depending on the difficulty of the mission. For a mission like this one, if they succeed, they can get at least 10,000 taels of reward! This is still second, if the task can be completed, the two of them can at least be promoted to two ranks, and it is definitely not a problem to be promoted to lieutenant colonel in the ranks.

"This task is very difficult, Baoding to the capital, during which there is a smooth road, and there are no mountains to block, and three million taels of silver can not be loaded with hundreds of carts, there must be a lot of accompanying guards, I have not passed by a place, maybe the local will also send people to protect, and it is not easy to transport away if you rob it!" Geng Laosan's head was lively, and he immediately thought of the key issue.

"Yes, three million taels, the goal is too big, the total number of our action team is only fifty, even if it is all used to be a coachman, it is not enough!" Shen Feng also sighed.

Hao Laosan looked at these two eggplants that were first elated and then beaten like frost, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Look at the cowardice of the two of you, the governor once said that as long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties, so where will you retreat?" If there are conditions, there are no conditions to create zào conditions, in short, this silver cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the imperial court. ”

"But, Hao Tou, don't you want to fly the pigeon and pass the book to the Metropolitan Governor?" Geng San asked weakly.

"Of course, I have to inform the governor, but the matter is in front of me, and I want to wait for the response from Fujian, and the daylilies are cold. Let's take action and report to Fuzhou at the same time. Old eight, what are you in a daze at this time?! Hao Laosan was talking, but found that his little brother was in a daze, so he asked lightly.

"Huh? Oh, oh, I'm thinking about something that might help this mission! Hao Laoba came back to his senses and said a little mysteriously.

"Huh? Do you have a way? His words drew everyone's attention, and eight eyes stared straight at him.

"At the beginning of last year, I went to Henan on the orders of the general, do you remember? On my way back, I passed by the place in Baoding, and there was an area that impressed me. If we robbed the silver cart outside the city of Baoding, we could have hidden the silver in that place! The more Hao Laoba spoke, the more he felt that it was feasible, and he didn't feel a big smile on his face.

"Where?" Several people asked in unison.

"Hehe, that place is full of water, the reeds are dense and boundless, even if tens of thousands of people go in, they will get lost, the locals call it Baiyangdian!" (To be continued......)
