Chapter Eighty-Nine: Seeking Wealth and Danger (Part 2)

At the end of the afternoon, two of Song Yun's henchmen left the Jiedu Tuiguan Office, and the news that Shen Shichu had accused Qiu Mingbo of causing the Dijinze explosion had been sent to Wang Baochuan, the head of the Xiazhou Branch of the Intelligence Station of the Dingyan Army Intelligence Station of the Ministry of Intelligence (the head of the Xiazhou Branch of the "Dark Feather" Dingyan Army Branch). After listening to the report of the deputy stationmaster (deputy hall master) Han Shun, Wang Baochuan, who was originally sleeping on the recliner, jumped up at twice the speed of jumping up and jumping up a month ago when he heard about the explosion of the earth, and snatched the information in Han Shun's hand that had written the detailed information about He Dangchu's accusation to Qiu Mingbo and read it carefully, and then stopped talking and began to pace in the courtyard.

After being silent for a long time, after carefully analyzing the current situation, imagining various possible situations, and weighing the pros and cons of all aspects, Wang Baochuan finally stopped and asked, "Where is the official who came to deliver the letter now?" ”

"Because we need to get a reply from the hall master, this person is still waiting for news at the secret contact point where we connect with Song Yun." Han Shun saw that his boss seemed to have made up his mind, and hurriedly replied.

Wang Baochuan nodded after hearing this, and ordered: "You go and do the following things immediately:

First, send someone back to the secret contact point, and order the official who had come to deliver the letter to leave the city at once, catch up with his companion, and tell him not to go to Dijinze to deliver the letter again, but to immediately turn around and return to the city from other directions. After returning to the city, there was no need to return to Tuiguan Yamen, but to go home quickly, take his family to the secret contact point, and prepare to retreat to Lingzhou.

Second, you immediately enter the mansion of Qiu Mingbo and Chen Baoqiang through the secret passage and inform them that the two families will go from the secret passage to the secret contact point in the "Yijin" Silk Village this evening to prepare for an emergency evacuation. In addition, after the Dijinze bombing, the party members stepped up the surveillance of the mansions of Qiu and Chen, and the servants in their mansions were only afraid that there were secret agents of the party people, and you must remind the Qiu and Chen families that when they leave the mansion, they must act secretly and cautiously, and they must not let any of the servants know.

Third, inform all the agents of the Xiazhou Branch and the Dingyan Army Branch Hall related to the evacuation of the Chen and Qiu families to immediately start implementing the plan of 'both worlds and the United States', and take the Chen and Qiu families out of the Dingyan Army safely and smoothly.

Fourth, send people to Lingzhou and the border between the Dingyan Army and the Khitan, and report the emergency situation on the side of Tongwancheng to Yang Yehe, who led the army to pretend to be Khitan soldiers and horses to harass the border, and asked them to immediately adjust their deployment to deal with the possible unfavorable situation.

Fifth, send someone to inform Song Yun and ask him to dispose of He Dangchu, who betrayed his lord for glory and forgot his righteousness, and then found an excuse to leave the Tuiguan Office and go home, and secretly rushed to the contact point where he usually went with his family members this evening, and joined his two henchmen and officials so that they could evacuate to Lingzhou together.

Sixth, just in case, at the same time, all the personnel of the Xiazhou branch should be ordered to enter the highest state of alert, and once there is a situation that may endanger the entire Xiazhou branch and even the Dingyan army branch, a comprehensive evacuation and evacuation plan will be immediately implemented, and all members will retreat to Lingzhou.

Seventh, send someone to Beijing immediately to report the emergency situation and our handling methods to the head of the hall and Song Guogong, so that when things change seriously, the imperial court can deal with it in time. ”

Seeing that this series of arrangements from his boss not only required the immediate implementation of the "perfect for both worlds" plan, but also prepared for the evacuation of the "Dark Feather" Xiazhou branch and even the entire Dingyan Army branch when the situation changed, Han Shun, the deputy hall master, couldn't help but hesitate a little and asked tentatively: "Isn't it too risky to arrange like this?" Thinking that He Dangchu is just a lowly subordinate, as long as Song Yun secretly deals with him, and then cleans up the beginning and the end neatly, it is not too difficult to deceive the festival and push the official. After all, with Chen Baoqiang and Qiu Mingbo's current status, status, and role in the Dingyan Army, as long as they are not full of human and physical evidence, presumably Li Yiyin will not embarrass them too much, let alone kill them. ”

Han Shun's worries Wang Baochuan naturally understood, and he also knew that his arrangement was tantamount to betting on the foundation of the "Dark Feather" Xiazhou Branch and even the Dingyan Army Branch, and on the countless efforts of hundreds of brothers and colleagues over the years to establish a dense and effective spy network here. But at the same time, he also understood that if something happened to Chen Baoqiang and Qiu Mingbo, he, the Xiazhou Branch, the Dingyan Army Branch, and even the "Dark Feather" General Hall would not be able to explain to Song Guogong, Xiang Zhang, Xu, Li and other important ministers of the court who controlled the entire Great Zhou. At that time, even if the Dingyan Army Branch Hall and the Xiazhou Branch Hall still exist, they will inevitably experience a major turmoil and a major blood change, and the result will be no different from exposing or even abandoning the existing secret spy network.

Therefore, in the face of Han Shun's worries, Wang Baochuan did not hesitate, but immediately waved his hand and said, "Now that I can't take care of it." Protecting Chen Baoqiang, Qiu Mingbo and their families is the main hall, General Xin, the fifth master, and the sixth master, and the tasks assigned by them must not be lost. Now that the shape is urgent, we have no choice but to take risks. Even if we want to catch up with the Xiazhou branch hall and even the entire Dingyan Army Branch, we have to rescue Chen Baoqiang, Qiu Mingbo and their families, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the main hall, to General Xin, to the fifth master, and to the sixth master. You don't have to say much, do as I tell you quickly. ”

Seeing that his boss was resolute, Han Shun knew that it would be useless to persuade him no matter how much he persuaded him, so he immediately bowed to Wang Baochuan and said, "My subordinates will do it, and the hall master must also make plans in advance." With that, he turned and left.

Looking at the back of Han Shun leaving, Wang Baochuan couldn't help but sigh, and cursed Qiu Mingbo and Chen Baoqiang, who caused this qiē, ten thousand times in his heart. In fact, as the hall master of the "Dark Feather" Xiazhou Branch, Wang Baochuan was more reluctant than Han Shun to implicate and threaten himself, the Xiazhou Branch, and even the Dingyan Army Branch for the sake of Chen Baoqiang and Qiu Mingbo. After all, it has been nearly eight years since he was ordered to set up the "Dark Feather" Xiazhou branch here in the eighth year of Da Xiande and assisted his boss in establishing the Dingyan Army Branch, during which the main hall has invested huge manpower, material and financial resources, and he and other colleagues have invested all their time, energy and effort, and even many agents have paid for their lives for this, so they have worked hard to build a secret spy network comparable to the branches and branches in the Central Plains. Now, just to make up for the serious consequences caused by Qiu Mingbo's reckless and reckless reckless reckless adventure for the sake of personal glory and wealth, and for his own selfishness, he is asked to gamble on the secret spy network that he and hundreds of other people have made countless efforts and efforts, how can Wang Baochuan not sigh, not sigh, and not curse - even if the task assigned by the head hall and Song Guogong is that no matter how much the price is paid, the lives of the Chen and Qiu families must be protected.

However, while sighing, sighing, and cursing, in a sense, Wang Baochuan can actually understand the actions of Qiu Mingbo, Chen Baoqiang and others. As the so-called "wealth and wealth are sought in danger", it is normal for people to take risks and work hard for their own glory and wealth, and for the future of future generations. Don't talk about others, he Wang Baochuan himself is a good example. I think that at the beginning, he was also a well-read scholar and all-rounder who was proficient in the art of martial arts, and he was a good son who was highly valued and praised by his parents. But with his eldest brother Wang Baoshan, who had to go up the mountain and fall into the grass because he missed to kill the enemy, he and his accomplices came under the command of the "Qingyuan" brothers, and from there, he ran and rose step by step, becoming the senior general of the famous "Flying Dragon Army", not only the parents' attitude towards the eldest son changed from shameless to praise from time to time, but also let his third son give up his studies and turn to the "Qingyuan" brothers, and work with his brother to work with the master, and in the troubled times to fight for a success, a wife and a son, After all, when he threw himself under the command of the "Qingyuan" brothers and entered the twelfth class A of the "Dark Feather Business Training Class", the battle of Youyun had not yet happened, and the "Qingyuan" brothers had not yet shown the domineering spirit of being arrogant and looking down on the world in the future.

So, after sighing, sighing, and cursing, Wang Baochuan waved his hand and shook his head, drove away these useless feelings at this moment, turned around and returned to his room, and prepared for a possible evacuation with his wife.

Just when Wang Baochuan and his family were making comprehensive preparations for the unknown future, Han Shun did not delay in issuing the instructions of his boss one by one, and personally sneaked into the mansion of Chen Baoqiang and Qiu Mingbo through the secret passage in the evening to meet with the two. As a result, the intelligence network of the Ministry of Intelligence in Xiazhou and even the entire Dingyan Army was immediately mobilized.

At the end of the Shen period, more than a dozen agents of the Xiazhou sub-station rode out from Wancheng and galloped along the official road to the north, east and west respectively, to Lingzhou, the border between the Dingyan Army and the Khitan and Kaifeng City to deliver letters. At the same time, the relevant information was also sent to the contact point of the intelligence station of the Ministry of Intelligence in Tongwan City, and the latter forwarded it to the branch hall located in Yinzhou.

At the end of Shen Shi, the henchman of Song Yun's subordinates, who was leisurely walking in the direction of Di Jinze, was caught up by his companions. Immediately, the two turned their horses' heads, galloped towards Tongwan City, and entered the city through a different gate from when they left the city, rushed back to their homes to pull their wives and children, and after packing up a few clothes, they took gold and silver and took advantage of the opportunity of the sun and the lack of pedestrians on the street, and rushed to a secret contact point of the Xiazhou branch as soon as possible to hide, ready to go out of the city.

At the end of the Youshi period, at the beginning of the year, after receiving the order sent by the secret contact method of the Xiazhou branch hall, Song Yun immediately strangled He Dangchu, the housekeeper of the Qiu Mansion, who was happily waiting to receive the reward in his official room, without hesitation, and hid the body in the bookcase in the inner room. Subsequently, Song Yun told the two officials who had been temporarily summoned by him to guard the official room that they were going home to eat and rest, and that what was being held in their room were important witnesses who needed to be personally interrogated by the magistrate, and that no one, including themselves, was allowed to talk to or communicate with the witnesses in the official room until he returned early tomorrow morning, let alone anyone including themselves was allowed to enter the official room, otherwise they would be severely punished. After the two officials in charge of guarding the door made a promise, Song Yun hurriedly left the Jiedu Judge's Office and returned to his home. After dark, Song Yun and his family members simply cleaned up and changed their disguises, and rushed to the secret contact point to meet his two henchmen under the response of the spies of the Xiazhou branch hall, waiting to leave the city.

At the end of the night, taking advantage of the dead of night, Chen Baoqiang and Qiu Mingbo's two families avoided all the household servants, quietly entered the secret passage from their bedrooms, and unknowingly came to a secret contact point under the cover of "Yijin" silk village a hundred steps away from the two mansions, and only waited for dawn before leaving the city according to the pre-planned way and route.

The next day, on the morning of the third day of the eighth month of the fifth lunar calendar of Jianlong, a caravan composed of dozens of carriages and hundreds of camels set off from the largest inn in Tongwan City and headed for the north gate.

Such a large caravan through the streets and alleys not only attracted onlookers, but also crowded the roads in the city, and for a time the shouts of people, horses, and camels were so lively that no one noticed that several carriages from the nearby streets and alleys joined the caravan on its way, and they unknowingly became a member of the caravan.

At the beginning of the hour, a huge caravan went out of the north gate of Wancheng and slowly marched north along the official road. Ten miles north of the city, taking advantage of the fact that there were no other pedestrians around, seven or eight carriages left the convoy under the support of dozens of young men on horseback, turned westward, and galloped straight in the direction of the junction between the Dingnan Army and Lingzhou.
