Chapter 240: Tanuki (86)
After about two months of stop-and-go, the caravan finally arrived at the imperial city at the time of breaking the ice.
During this period, Nan Yuankui specially sent people to the imperial city in advance to confirm the emperor's safety, and the reply he received was that there was nothing special except for unexplained physical weakness and exhaustion.
So he went with the caravan with his heart, and said that the trade was actually half selling and half giving away the seeds of the improved crops in his hands to the people.
This is what the emperor ordered him to do before, but because of his own accident, this caravan stayed outside the country for a long time. He has recovered, and things are naturally on the agenda, and this time he is taking this opportunity to approach the imperial city silently.
Those men even sent some people disguised as civilians to contact them under the pretext of making a deal, and they were all skillfully dealt with by the Tangram.
Oh, and it's not that ingenious. Just speaking in an exotic tone, and stammering from time to time, gives the illusion that they are not familiar with their lingua franca.
Under the deliberate cover of Xing Zhi and others, they successfully fooled the eyes and ears of the enemy.
Originally, when they set off, they found that someone was far away behind them, but Xing Judge and the others did not act rashly, but quickly collected all kinds of useful information with their colleagues, and disguised themselves and Qiqiao and the others as foreigners from the inside out.
Along the way, although Qiqiao was tired enough to choke on himself, he successfully dispelled their doubts. In the same way, he also got a lot of information from the words of those people, and then cooperated with Xing Zhi and Xingzhao, who went out to scout at night, to find out the situation of the forces they had planted in the local area.
I don't know if I don't check this, and I'm shocked when I check it. Unexpectedly, although the prime minister did it with means, he was also a thoughtful person. Over the years, he had already planted his own men in many towns and cities.
Then Qiqiao also pretended to have never seen the world, jumping here, looking there, and asking those people some questions about the local customs in a broken lingua franca.
Remember in a second https://
The other party is obviously prepared, and the people sent are basically their locally cultivated eyes and ears, so when Qiqiao asks them questions, they are also fluent in answers.
From local officials to ordinary people disguised as ordinary people, the radiation area is very wide, and even some inconspicuous small villages will have their people.
It is almost foreseeable that once the prime minister and the emperor start a fight, these people hidden in the crowd will inevitably become sparks in the prairie and a fuse that will ignite the wind.
The situation reported by Xing Judge and others also gave Nan Yuankui a cold sweat, in case the emperor is gone, he needs to replace him, or elect a new emperor, these people will inevitably fan the flames in various ways, and the prime minister can use this to push himself into that position, and there is a legitimate reason to say that he is called conforming to the will of the people.
It is absolutely impossible for him, nor the emperor, to sit idly by. Immediately issued an order to secretly and thoroughly investigate all the forces of the prime minister in the people, some of them in important positions and frequent internal exchanges with them were first monitored, and those who were put down as a lead and disguised as ordinary civilians on weekdays were all disposed of and replaced by their own people.
As soon as this order was issued, the tangram once again had a new understanding of the power in the hands of the Son of Fortune.
