In Yidu City, which seems to be calm, it has long been turbulent. Not only did Haidong people and horses move, but Tian Jialie also stepped up his surveillance of Deng She. His unremitting efforts were rewarded, whether it was to finally persuade Wang Shicheng, or to understand that Wang Shicheng finally couldn't stand his chatter, no matter what, he finally obtained Wang Shicheng's acquiescence and had the power to mobilize the city to catch fast.

When there are more people, it is easier to get things done.

Tian Jialie was able to roughly ascertain the daily activities of Deng She and the people of Haidong with only a few Liu San, but now the manpower has been enriched and it is even more powerful. In the few days that Deng She was recuperating, all the daily activities of Luo Guoqi, Tong Shengyang and others came into his control.

The level of information gathered here is staggering.

It is no exaggeration to say that even Luo Guoqi, Tong Shengyang, etc., may have forgotten, or some details and small things that they didn't care about at all, are all reproduced one by one in the investigation report submitted by the catchers to Tian Jialie and through text description.

"The morning before yesterday, where did Luo Guoqi go?"

"Left and right divisions. There was an official in the left and right divisions who had been a classmate with him, and invited several other officials, and in the name of tea tasting, they drank tea in the flavor building for a long time. ”

"The afternoon before yesterday, where did Tong Shengyang go?"

Tong Shengyang and the son of Liu Dahu's family somehow got into a friendship. The afternoon before yesterday, the son of the Liu family personally took him to Liu's mansion, saying that he had newly purchased a group of female music and invited him to listen. He didn't go back to the guest house until the evening. ”

"Yesterday morning, did Yan Wang's condition improve?"

"The secret agent report in the museum seems to be improving. A few days ago he had to go to the toilet seven or eight times a day, but yesterday he only went there twice in half a day. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Wu Yulin and Mr. Wu went to check him again, and the symptoms of the cold were basically suppressed. The residues of his daily medication, the villain, etc., have also been carefully examined, and there is nothing unusual. ”

"What about today?"

"The villain came to ask to see the master, just because something strange happened outside the State Guest House today."

"What's the matter?"

"When the princess came back from Haidong, she brought a person named Ren Zhonghou. The prince remembered that he had the credit of escorting his mother, appointed him as a minor official, and stayed in the palace. Do you have any impression of this person? ”

"Ren Zhonghou? Of course the officer remembers. He is quite tall, because there is no official robe suitable for his height, and the clothes are worn on his body, which can't cover his ankles. People send nicknames: stand out from the crowd. ......What happened to him? ”

"At three o'clock this morning, he was carrying a small box, and a person sneaked into a mansion outside the State Guest House, and it didn't take long for the villain to see two people coming out of the State Guest House." The fast catcher who spoke paused and looked up at Tian Jialie. Tian Jialie concentrated and said, "Go on." ”

"The two people who came out of the guest house, the villain can see clearly, they are obviously the guards of King Yan. It is not surprising to say that they go out early in the morning, because they do not have a turn to run and drill every day. The two of them did not come out of the door, but from the wall. ”

"Turned out?"

"Yes. After they turned it out, they went straight to the store. Although there were our people in the shop, they couldn't get close, and they were talking behind closed doors, so I don't know what they said. It took about half an hour, and soon the two guards of King Yan went back,......。 ”

"Where's the little box?"

"Ren Zhonghou handed it over to King Yan's guards."

"Go on."

"The villain personally led his subordinates and hung Ren Zhonghou's ,......。"

"Where did he go again?"

"He didn't go anywhere else, he went back to the palace directly."

"Do you mean that Ren Zhonghou came out of the palace, handed over the small box to King Yan's guards, and then went back to the palace directly?"

"That's how it should be. The villain asked the concierge of the palace, that Ren Zhonghou went out at the end of the hour, and calculated the distance, it would take at least two quarters of an hour to walk from the palace to the guest house. Ren Zhonghou arrived at the State Guest House at three o'clock. From this, it can be inferred that he should not have time to take a detour and go somewhere else. ”

"Strange! But it's also strange. ”

Tian Jialie pondered. Ren Zhonghou's position in the palace is not high, and according to his rank, he has no access to any confidential things. Moreover, Wang Shicheng's ears are soft, but he is by no means a stupid person, and he has always been very vigilant against people like He Biju and Ren Zhonghou, and he has stayed away. Even if Ren Zhonghou has a heart, he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to spy on any secret military intelligence reports.

Tian Jialie muttered to himself: "He came out of the palace directly and returned to the palace directly." ......, Ren Zhonghou, Ren Zhonghou? What's in that little box? You sneaked to the Didian early in the morning, how did King Yan know about the front foot and the back foot? Yes, is it an appointment in advance? ......, you have been monitoring King Yan for the past few days, apart from this time, have you seen Ren Zhonghou appear? ”

"No, I didn't. This is the first time. ”

"Ren Zhonghou's performance in the palace, have you investigated it?"

"The internal affairs of the palace, the villain dare not hear about it. However, the villain is very sociable, and he also has a few friends who work in the palace. I have heard before that Ren is loyal to his people, and people are as good as his name, loyal and honest. In the palace, he never showed his dew, and some people almost forgot his background from Haidong.

The villain heard again that when King Yan had just arrived in Yidu, the prince mentioned that he wanted to return Ren Zhonghou to him. But Niangniang didn't seem to be very happy, saying that Ren Zhonghou had the credit of escorting, if he was returned to Haidong, he would be a lowly official, and he would not necessarily get the attention of King Yan, and he would definitely not be as happy as enjoying the palace in the palace. Therefore, the matter was not mentioned later. ”

"Mother?"

Mrs. Wang's reputation in Yidu is still good. From the fact that on the way to escape that day, she was able to stimulate the morale of Deng She and others with the words "if defeated, willing to commit suicide" and some gestures of courtesy, it can be seen that although she does not have great wisdom, she still has some small wrists. From time to time, she is handsome, whether in Yidu Province or in the army, she is quite praised, and many people think that she is "virtuous".

Tian Jialie listened to it, but he didn't doubt it.

He walked around the room a few times, and the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and the more he didn't understand, the more suspicious he became. He gritted his teeth, snorted, and said, "Put this Ren Zhonghou on the key monitoring list, specially transfer a group of people, twelve hours a day, and give him to the master and I will keep him firmly watched!" ”

"But in the palace, the villain doesn't have the courage to ,......。"

"You don't have to worry about it in the palace, the official will talk to the prince. Hmph, Luo Guoqi! King Yan is sick, do you still have the leisure to invite people to drink tea? Tong Shengyang! The master is lying on the bed, do you still have the leisure to listen to the song and watch the dance? is so blatant, and too deceitful to benefit no one! Pass my order and invite Luo Guoqi's classmate and the son of the Liu family to come and sit in my house. ”

"Yes."

"......, what are you doing with a wooden pestle? Do it now! The lord is going to see them in the evening. The fast catcher turned around and left, and Tian Jialie stopped him again, "Be cautious, be secretive, you know?" Do it quietly, don't take a knife. If others may see it, bring it to you. ”

……

On the desk, the small box was placed upright, and it had been opened. Deng She couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the things inside.

What Ren Zhonghou sent was not Tian Jialie's "military secrets", but just a few pieces of old ginseng. Wang Shicheng visited Deng She, and went back to tell Mrs. Wang about it. "Deng Lang" is sick, how can Mrs. Wang not make some statements? The old ginseng was searched by her from the house and sent to ask Deng She to replenish her body.

As for why Ren Zhonghou entered the store, the guest house was able to react immediately. It seems like an agreement in advance, to put it bluntly, it's not worth it.

The building is high and has three floors. After Ren Zhonghou entered, he pulled up the curtains and stood at the window, and he could see it in the guest house. The Dunshes had someone to keep watch day and night, so that he could react with the front foot and the back foot. Tian Jialie has never been to the field to see it, and it is normal for him to think badly for a while.

And the leader of the fast catcher, as soon as he saw Ren Zhonghou, he thought about this matter to conspiracy, such an obvious joint code, but because it was too obvious and simple, he didn't pay attention to it.

"This Ren is loyal, and he doesn't know the importance of it."

Deng She complained in his mouth, but he understood in his heart. This matter must be blamed on Ren Zhonghou. Mrs. Wang asked him to send something, could he not send it? This matter should be placed in the usual days, such as when Deng She first arrived in Yidu, it is not harmful, but at the current sensitive juncture, it is a little inappropriate to make such a move. If it falls into the eyes of someone with a heart, it may cause unnecessary trouble out of thin air.

"You went to see Ren Zhonghou, but were you discovered?"

"Nope. When the villain went out, there was no one on the street. There is nothing unusual in the shop. The guard who answered hesitated, and Dunshe asked, "What?" The guard looked unsure, and then said, "But when the villain came out of the mansion, he always felt that something was wrong. It's as if someone is spying on you. ”

Deng She's guards are all elite Haidong, experienced in battles for a long time. When there are more battles, people tend to have a little sixth sense. In the face of danger, it is natural to feel something. It sounds subtle, but it's just an instinct that everyone has.

Deng She frowned and said, "It's normal for someone to be watching,......。 "A long time ago, he noticed that there were often suspicious people walking around outside the State Guest House. However, he turned his head and asked Tong Shengyang: "Ah Tong, I remember that you went to see Liu Dahu the day before yesterday and came back, and you also said that you found that the people who followed you were a little different from the past?" ”

"Not bad."

"What's the difference?"

"There are more people stalking, much more. It is also easier to recognize than those who came before. ”

"Where is the recognition?"

"Lean, with a bit of official authority. At first glance, it is eating official meals. ”

"You mean?"

"It's very likely that it came out of the yamen."

"Go and get Luo Guoqi."

Luo Guoqi held the medicine bowl and came in cautiously. Deng She's daily diet and recent medicine were first tasted by the guards to make sure that they were not poisonous before they were presented to him for consumption. Zhuge is only cautious all his life, and there is nothing wrong with being careful. Deng She asked for a few small bowls, poured the medicinal soup evenly, Tong Shengyang and the others divided one each, and together with Deng She, pinched their noses and drank them all.

This medicine is too bitter, and Deng She is not sick in the first place, and he can't pour it after he is boiled, in case he shows his feet, it will be in vain to arouse suspicion. As a last resort, Dunshe insisted on sharing it with everyone. When it comes to medication, whoever is on the side has to share the burden.

The lord decreed, and the courtiers could not disobey. Tong Shengyang raised these generals, his mind was relatively simple, he drank purely to complete the order, and he was sad one by one. In their opinion, it is really impossible to ask for "sharing suffering" with Deng She, which is a great difference in beauty, and in the future, it is a great qualification, so they should drink more than the generals.

"Raushzi's medicinal soup is getting bitterer and bitterer day by day!"

Deng She rarely complained, dropped the medicine bowl, and poured several cups of tea in a row, and the bitter taste in his mouth slowly subsided. He got down to business and asked, "Gong Luo, the day before yesterday, when you went to see your classmates, did you find anything unusual on the way?" ”

Luo Guoqi was slightly stunned, he was a civil servant, and his sensitivity was not as good as that of a general, so he racked his brains and recalled for a long time, shook his head, and said, "I didn't see anything abnormal." ......, oh, there is, listening to the lord's question, the minister suddenly remembered that when the minister and the minister's classmates were drinking tea in a few flavor buildings, they saw two characters dressed in the market, following behind the minister, and then entered the building. ”

Drinking tea and tasting tea is an elegant thing. It's not that people in the market can't taste tea, and there are storytellers in the flavor building, but in the morning, it is indeed rare for the people in the market to be so leisurely.

"Dressed up in the market?" Deng She asked, "You think about it, judging by his behavior, does it look like he came out of the yamen?" ”

"......, like! Every move, domineering. ”

"The yamen intervened." Deng She's mind is turning, Wang Shicheng? He got up and said, "Without Wang Shicheng's support, Tian Jialie will not move the people of the yamen." ……。 Luo Guoqi said: "Not really." Yesterday, Wang Shicheng also came to visit the lord again, with a courteous attitude, and he didn't see any difference. ”

It's no different, but at least his attitude has changed compared to before. Of course, perhaps the fact that he allowed Tian Jialie to transfer the people of the yamen to participate in the surveillance does not prove that he was suspicious, or that he just acquiesced helplessly. Tian Jialie's stubborn temper, I was afraid when I saw it.

However, no matter what Wang Shicheng's intentions were, with Tian Jialie's persistence in digging three feet into the ground, and with the addition of Yidu Yamen, it doesn't matter in a short time, it will definitely change after a long time! Big trouble, big trouble! ......, Luo Gong, the messenger sent to see Tian Feng, do you believe it? ”

Governor Li reported that he had arrived in Dongchang last night and made an appointment with Yang Cheng to see Tian Feng by tomorrow at the latest. Within five days, a reply will be delivered. ”

"Command to go down, order the personal soldiers in the city, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and be ready to respond at any time." Dunshe's gaze turned to the saber hanging from the wall, and he thought to himself, "In five days." Within five days. The upcoming five days will definitely be the most difficult five days since he arrived in Yidu.
