Xu has not been heard from since he left the camp. Zhu Cihong originally doubted that this guy would run away with the silver, but if you think about it carefully, he shouldn't be such a stupid liar. was finally entrusted with a heavy task by the East Palace, but he only cheated this bit of silver, which was really risking the sin of Ling Chi's death to earn money from selling cabbage.

When Xu Dian came in, Zhang Shiqi and Hou Fangyu had already left from the side room. He walked slowly in front of Zhu Cihong, raised his head slightly, and said, "I don't see the moon in October, Your Highness has cleared up." ”

"You're dark." Zhu Cihong smiled and responded, "Sit." ”

Xu Dian thanked him, and sat down with a full chair, and the muscles in his legs jumped wildly. He came all the way quickly, and he had indeed reached the limit of his physical strength. It's just a hard breath to make such a calm appearance.

"Look at the tea." Zhu Cihong rattled the bell and shouted.

The waiter outside quickly served fragrant tea to Xu Dian and hurriedly retreated.

Xu Dan's lips peeled, and he took a sip of tea without regard for etiquette, and then said, "Your Highness should give me a cup of cold water." ”

Zhu Cihong was helpless, and happened to see a large cup of jasmine slices on the table, which was his favorite drink when he was tired from work in his previous life. was interrupted by Hou Fangyu's affairs, and he hadn't drunk it yet, but he was already half cold. He pushed the tea jar that was specially burned out in the palace for him to "drink from the cow", and said, "Drink mine." ”

Xu Dian was originally a madman, believing that "the law of etiquette is not set up for my generation". He stepped forward to thank him with a clear conscience, took the cup and drank it in a big gulp, and said secretly as he drank: What is this? Pen holder? Hmm, there's a handle! Where did you get such a big cup?

After Xu Duan drank enough water, Zhu Cihong said, "But what news has you brought back?" ”

"The money is all gone." Xu Duan put down the cup, hugged it in his arms, and said unceremoniously: "How much more can Your Highness give here?" ”

"Silver is not a problem," Zhu Cihong said without mind, "The point is that you have to show me what this silver is used for." ”

Xu Dian smiled. As if to joke that the crown prince was too ungenerous, he took out a book from his arms, presented it with both hands, and just turned around and held the tea jar the size of a pen holder in his arms.

Zhu Cihongquan didn't see his small movements, looked through the book, and saw that his name, age, appearance, physical characteristics, and contact code were densely written inside. At a glance, it can be seen that it is the downline developed by Xu Dian these days. As for whether it is reliable or not, this efficiency alone is enough to make people breathtaking.

"Of course I didn't run alone." Xu Dian said: "I still used the method of single-line and downline, but after letting the downline find the downline, I also came forward." ”

"I said you have to be one-lined." Zhu Cihong said.

"I think Your Highness is afraid that something will go wrong and it will be difficult to verify and verify, but can't Your Highness still believe it?" Xu Dian said disapprovingly.

"I'm here for your safety!" Zhu Cihong feigned anger and said, "If someone from these informants below denounces you to Li Chuang, can you come back alive?" ”

"I'm not afraid." Xu Dian said proudly: "Now that I am also well-known in the rivers and lakes, if anyone wants to sell me, they have to weigh their own weight." Don't hide it from Your Highness, I have borrowed the hand of the Ranger. Killed several people who wanted to sell me for silver. ”

"Hehe," Zhu Cihong laughed dryly, "You are really like a fish in water." He didn't agree with Xu's approach. What he wants is a reliable, stable, efficient, and safe spy network, but Weishenme was turned into a secret sect by Xu Dan?

Zhu Cihong immediately thought of the infamous "Black Dragon Society". The Black Dragon Society is the most powerful engine for Japan's overseas military and political espionage work, with the aim of seeking the Heilongjiang River valley as Japan's territory. Such an espionage agency also originated from the people, and if you look closely, it is actually a black shili group.

"I also set up a gang for these people, called the 'Golden Scale Society', what does Your Highness think?" Xu Dian said proudly.

Zhu Cihong really wanted to find a mirror to see his expression.

Golden Scale Society...... Black Dragon Society......

Xu Dian held the espionage organization guidebook produced by Donggong. Zuihou actually embarked on the road of a regional underworld organization, is this a historical accident? Or is there a high-end and high-grade organizational behavior principle behind it? Or are they limitations like history, productivity, etc.?

Zhu Cihong quickly figured it out again.

For those who bring their brothers and friends to make trouble. Only the alliance of blood is the most reliable. Even the official wish may not convince them - the credibility of the imperial court has long been bankrupt. Even the imperial court official, Yuan Chonghuan, in order to motivate his generals to fight bravely to kill the enemy during the Battle of Guangning, also made a bloody alliance.

Since it is a blood alliance, of course it needs a carrier, so whether it is the Golden Scale Society or the Black Dragon Society. In fact, they are all products of insufficient control of power.

"Do you have an oath?" Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

"I don't want to be born on the same day in the same month, but I want to die on the same day in the same month!" Xu Dian himself laughed, and it seemed that he didn't take this to heart.

"Specifically?" Zhu Cihong asked: "If you get such a thing, are people willing to run errands for you for nothing?" ”

"Silver." Xu Dian thought for a while, and said, "Majestic." ”

Zhu Cihong frowned: "This kind of thing." How can it be known to the whole world? ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the so-called world knows it, but it is only known in such a small circle." Xu Dian said disapprerovingly: "Your Highness, this booklet is only half of it. The other half is to record the old and young of their families and their places of residence, and I am worried that there will be accidents on the road, so I only bring this half to His Highness today, and the other half will be sent by me later. Although Xu Dian said it lightly, from his point of view, the road was not smooth.

Zhu Cihong nodded: "You are quite cautious in doing things, I hope your Golden Scale Society will also be cautious." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates have their own proportions." Xu Dian said again: "Your Highness, most of these people are actually in Shanxi. ”

"Shanxi?" Zhu Cihong was quite surprised: "You went to Shanxi to lay out?" ”

"The matter of Henan is no longer possible, I only buried two shadows in the camp for future use." Xu said: "The hearts of the people of Shanxi can be roughly divided into three factions, which can be used. ”

"The people's hearts are still divided into three factions?" Zhu Cihong was quite surprised when he heard this statement for the first time, and said: "You come carefully, there is no need to hide it." ”

Xu Dian saluted first and said, "Your Highness, there are quite a few merchants in Xuanfu and Datong who have dealings with Dongyu. The Dongyu plundered the customs for many years, and as soon as they left the customs, they sold the looted goods to these wealthy merchants in exchange for grain, weapons and other military resources. Those wealthy businessmen resell the customs area, just like colluding with bandits to purchase and sell stolen goods for the bandits. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, indicating that he could understand. The famous eight Jin merchants, who don't know their history of making a fortune? Later, the Manchu Qing Dynasty set the world, and Shunzhi named them imperial merchants, and gave them 500 miles of land in Zhangjiakou to reclaim, which can be regarded as a model of "monarchs and ministers get along". - Of course, these eight zuihou were completely wiped out during the Qianlong period, which is also in line with the Manchurian habit of crossing the river and demolishing bridges.

"There are still some people," Xu Dian paused, "who were bewitched by Li Chuang, and went around preaching the heresy that Li Dai Zhu was the emperor, and there were even foolish people who obeyed him." ”

"Don't shy away from it." Zhu Cihong emphasized again.

Xu Dan's speech gradually accelerated: "Li Chuang's so-called three-year free food is quite popular among the people. There is a nursery rhyme among the people: 'Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine syrup; The gates of the city were opened to meet the king, but when the king came, he did not pay food. Many local officials also thought that the time had come for a change of dynasty, either privately or publicly, often revealing why they should die. ”

Zhu Cihong is helpless, this is the current situation. He forced out a smile and said, "The day before yesterday, Liu Ruoyu sent someone from Beijing to communicate. I asked about the situation in the palace, but the result was that many officials fled, and some people even wrote on the palace gate that 'there is no place to stay here, there is a place to keep the master'. This world is really crazy! Zhu Cihong stopped, wanted to drink saliva, but when he reached out his hand, he remembered that the cup was still in Xu Dan's arms, so he continued: "If the sky wants to die, it must first be made arrogant." These people don't care about him, what kind of people are there? ”

Xu Dian couldn't help but smile and said, "There is another type of people who are good, they all gather in Sanli Academy to give lectures." They are loyal to the court one by one, loyal to the king, and just waiting to be filial sons and grandsons after the change of dynasty, and wear filial piety for the emperor. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled, this kind of person is just an embellishment of history, and it is difficult to become a pillar after all. (To be continued......)
