"Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei Feige Secret Letter, Datong Kingdom has withdrawn!"

"I know!" Hearing An Jianqing's words, Zhao Yuan was not surprised by this, "Now that Sun Ye, the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, has led his troops to surrender, and General Yan has also led the army to gradually take over the Great Yu Kingdom. Even if there is resistance in the Dayu Kingdom, it will be difficult to achieve great things at this moment, and soon the Dayu Kingdom will become a part of my Dazheng Kingdom! ”

"And Datong not only borders our Dazheng country, but also borders Dayu country. After China occupies the land of Dayuguo, it will be able to attack Datong from both sides, and Datong will be much more dangerous. After learning about this, it is reasonable for Datong to withdraw its troops, and it will not be long before the envoy of Datong begging will arrive! ”

"Does Your Majesty want to take the opportunity to attack from both sides and annex Datong in one fell swoop?"

"No!" Shaking his head, Zhao Yuan said extremely calmly, "The pharmacist is right, although the Datong Kingdom has sent troops, it has not lost its strength in the past, and it is not appropriate to forcibly annex its country at this moment. My Taisho Kingdom annexed the Three Kingdoms in just a few months, and the spread is too big, and it will take a certain amount of time to devour and digest these results. And the soldiers are tired of the war and need a certain amount of time to recuperate! ”

"Since my Taisho Kingdom needs time to recuperate, it is better to have an honest neighbor than those evil neighbors! However, Jinyiwei also needs to send enough people to investigate the reality of Datong and supervise everything in Datong Kingdom. If the Taizheng Kingdom wants to expand externally in the future, the Datong Kingdom will bear the brunt! ”

"Obey the order!" Glancing at Zhao Yuan carefully, An Jianqing whispered, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to start!" ”

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, my Jinyiwei has been established for less than a year. It is necessary to supervise hundreds of officials, and to plant secret agents in the surrounding countries, and the manpower under the ministers may be slightly insufficient! ”

"I don't give you so much money every year to let you develop, I'm not here to listen to you complain!" Zhao Yuan also knew that his stall was too big, Jinyiwei was established for a short time, recruiting manpower, secret training, etc. also took time, and excessive pulling of seedlings would only reduce the efficiency of Jinyiwei, which was not what Zhao Yuan wanted to see.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just implores His Majesty to give the minister a certain permission to recruit enough manpower, and the minister will give His Majesty a satisfactory answer!"

"Okay, I've gotten it!" Nodding, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "Next, I will rest and recuperate for a while, and I will give you enough time and funds to develop, but I don't want to hear such words in the future!" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will do his best!"

"By the way, how did I check the things I asked you to check. The 2,000 troops who escorted grain and grass could not be killed silently, and there would always be some clues. Don't tell me, you haven't found any clues for so long! ”

"This!"

"What does it look like!" Seeing An Jianqing's expression at this time, Zhao Yuan asked with a little dissatisfaction in his heart: "It seems that the news is very bad looking at you, what did Jinyiwei find out?" ”

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation of my Jinyi Guard, the ambush of my army was carried out by more than ten cottage bandits distributed in the territory of the Taizheng Kingdom!"

"Bandits? Just by them? His face was slightly unhappy, and Zhao Yuan said lightly, "Not to mention whether they have the ability to do this, they dare to move the military rations that are transported to the front line?" ”

"Yes, the minister didn't believe it at first, but in the end he found out that this matter was indeed true!" Cautiously glanced up at Zhao Yuan, An Jianqing then whispered, "And all the mountain bandits in these operations have been killed immediately after success, according to Jinyiwei's investigation, they should all be poisoned to death, the toxicity is violent, and the blood seals the throat!" ”

"Not only that, but the only remaining old and young in their cottage were also wiped out subsequently, and no one survived!"

"Destroyed!" This news made Zhao Yuan slightly dissatisfied, and then Chong An Jianqing asked, "What about the people who destroyed these cottages, did you find any clues?" ”

"Not yet!" Carefully lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Yuan, An Jianqing whispered, "The other party is too clean, obviously prepared, even if there are clues, it is difficult to find out where the other party is!" ”

"More than ten cottages have been slaughtered, it is impossible that there are no clues at all, there are only a handful of forces with such strength in Taizheng State!" Shaking his head, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "Tell your people to check carefully, if this matter is not investigated, I will not be able to sleep and eat!" ”

"The minister understands, and the minister must go all out!"

"It won't take long for the frame to arrive in the capital!"

"Yes, it has only been two months since His Majesty's royal conquest, and now His Majesty's royal drive has arrived in Anyu County, and it is estimated that it will be two days before he arrives in the capital!"

"Then, what about the time when the grain and grass were robbed, was there anything abnormal in the capital?"

"The minister has already investigated, and since His Majesty's personal expedition, the capital has been relatively stable, and there has not been much turmoil in the performance of your duties. This time it shouldn't be your lordship! ”

"That's good!" Nodding, Zhao Yuan waved his hand at An Jianqing, "You go down first!" ”

"Yes!" respectfully withdrew from Zhao Yuan's frame, and then two people followed behind An Jianqing.

"Immediately pass the book to the scholar Feigeon, and say that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with his efficiency!" Straightening his body, An Jianqing said to the people behind him, "Tell him that if he can successfully find out this matter, I will personally ask Your Majesty for divine merit for him." If he can't find out, he won't have to come back! ”

"Yes!"

The pigeon flew through the bustling markets and fields, and finally stopped on a small hill, where it was caught and the secret letter tied to the pigeon was taken and released again. Here, a group of more than a dozen vigilant brocade clothes stood aside from each other, staring cautiously around, while a middle-aged man in plain scholar clothes among them was sitting calmly, holding a book in his hand and reading slowly.

"Your Excellency, the Commander of Your Excellency's Flying Pigeon Secret Letter!"

"Hmm!" Nodding, the middle-aged scholar opened the secret letter casually, and then a smile appeared on his face, "We have learned nothing for so many days, our command has made the adult a little anxious, it seems that the adult has been reprimanded by His Majesty!" ”

"My lord, the other party is obviously prepared, and it is a little difficult to find out!" One person looked at the middle-aged scholar with a sad face, after this period of investigation, they also recognized one thing clearly, the other party was obviously a peer, and everything was done too cleanly, and nothing was left in the whole scene.

In the past few days, they have broken their legs and scratched their heads, and more than a dozen slaughtered cottage wheels have been searched, but in the end they still found nothing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been urged by An Jianqing!

"Who said we got nothing!" Carefully put away the books in his hand, the middle-aged scholar opened the burden beside him, smiled at the person next to him, and said, "Isn't this our biggest gain?" ”

"This? A very ordinary bandit outfit? ”

"Ordinary?" The words he accepted made the middle-aged scholar's face cold, and he looked at the other party with an ugly face and said, "You are Jinyiwei, and you should not ignore any clues!" ”

"If you take a closer look, what's different about this dress?"

"There is no peculiar smell, there seems to be a faint fragrance!"

"This is a girl's body fragrance!" glanced at his subordinates angrily, and the middle-aged scholar said lightly, "This dress appeared in an independent courtyard in Changfeng Village, and it was observed that there should be only one person living in it, which means that the owner of this dress has a high status in the cottage!" ”

"But we just searched up and down Changfeng Village, and we didn't find the girl's body in the cottage!" Picking up the clothes, the middle-aged scholar said with a smile, "In other words, the owner of this dress is very likely to have escaped the catastrophe, if we can find this person, we can know the news we want!" ”

"But from a single piece of clothing, we can infer at most the size of this person, but we don't know anything about his exact appearance. What's more, we don't know where she has gone, and just looking for someone like this is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack! ”

"Looking for a needle in a haystack is also to look for it, it is better to have clues than no clues!" Slowly putting the clothes away, the middle-aged scholar said lightly, "This person is penniless, he will definitely not be able to go far, and this person should have two more strokes under his hands, and he is full of blood and hatred, and it is impossible to settle down." As long as we look carefully, we can definitely find her traces! ”
