In the next few days, Wu Feng negotiated with Zhan Zhaobai and Wei Dongchen, and Xiao Tang came out to temporarily borrow 300,000 imperial gold coins from the two families, and the two said that they could support them free of charge, but Wu Feng politely declined, and agreed to return them within three months, and calculate the interest according to the current market interest rate, but asked the two to take the lead in expanding production and operation, and move their families, relatives and industries back to Qingyang, and the two also promised to take the lead and actively do the work of other businessmen. At the same time, many businessmen from the Internal Affairs Office where Molun is located also went to report to him, and Moren also adhered to Wufeng's opinion, did a good job of registration and filing, and encouraged these people to put down their burdens and expand their business and production.

Qingyang Prefecture's policy of attracting investment and encouraging immigrants soon spread throughout the empire and the mainland, and soon there was a reflection, and many homeless vagrants, peasants who lost their land and could not survive, bankrupt small producers, craftsmen, technicians, and workers eager to work all came to Qingyang one after another, although the number was not very large, but after all, there was a good start.

The training of the troops proceeded smoothly under Wu Feng's strict requirements, and Liang, Cui, Mu, and Ka personally went to the field every day to supervise and inspect the troops, and taught the pranayama method originally taught by Wu Feng to every soldier, and the results were remarkable. The wounded and sick have also basically recovered, and with the exception of some who have lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries, all others have recovered and returned to the unit.

The work of gathering intelligence went very smoothly, and because the local people had long hated foreign enemies and horse thieves and bandits, they actively cooperated with the political axe and enthusiastically reported and reported suspicious people and suspicious things, and achieved very good results.

"A fat sheep is coming. When Mo Lun walked into Wu Feng's study excitedly, Wu Feng was worried about how to complete the task of "fundraising" in Yanjing. First of all, we must get the work done in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and there is still a certain degree of certainty about this, but then the specific handling will be obtained by the Imperial Finance Bureau, and the Imperial Finance Minister Tian Yi is not an easy person to dismiss, so he has to think carefully about how to get his work done, otherwise he will give you a sentence Now that the treasury is empty and there is no money, it will be troublesome-

"What fat sheep?" Wu Feng asked Mo Lun, who interrupted his thoughts, angrily.

"Hey, hey, hey" Mo Lun laughed for a while, laughing so hard that Wu Feng's heart was furious, "What kind of fat sheep is it? Tell me clearly, I see that you are only fucking like a fat sheep!" Looking at Mo Lun's short and fat man, Wu Feng asked again-

Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, as if he hadn't heard Wu Feng's sarcasm at all, "There is reliable information that there are people in our Qingyang Mansion who are colluding with Luo Pi and bandits, and this person has quite a lot of assets, so he has not yet reported to me." ”――

"Oh?" Wu Feng was also interested when he heard this, "Who is it? Is the news reliable? Is there any money?"

"There should be no problems with intelligence. This person moved to Qingyang from other places more than ten years ago, and lived in a village where Qingyang was about to meet the border with the Grand Duchy of Luzon in the middle of the continent, and usually did not have much contact with these merchants in Qingyang Prefecture, and I heard that the village was controlled by him alone, and he himself had more than a thousand private armies, and he did not come to this banquet, but he came to the previous celebration, and his name was Pamela. Molun's eyes flashed with excitement.

"What about the sources? Don't get me wrong. Although he is eager to gain something, Wu Feng is still extremely cautious, because if he gets this kind of thing wrong, it will greatly damage the image he has built up with great difficulty.

"Originally, this guy has aroused our suspicions, his location belongs to the boundary of Jieshi Town, not very far from the area invaded by the Luope people every year, but it seems that I have not heard that the village has been plundered by the Luope people, he said to the outside world that he paid a certain amount of money, which makes people suspicious, the Luope people are not good men and women, how can they accept the tribute from a small village, and not a pot? In addition, since this man took root there, almost every year caravans coming from or going to the Grand Duchy of Luzon have been sacked by unknown robbers, and this is the second, and most importantly, we have found a man who had worked in the private armed forces under Pamela and then ran out, and after a great deal of work and great promises, we finally dug up from this man's mouth, who, together with those of Pamela's private forces, was on several occasions begged by Pamela to pretend to be robbers and loot passing caravans. On this basis, Pamela can be arrested, of course, this must be supported by the army, otherwise it will definitely not work with the few policemen under my command. Morun said proudly-

"If the information can be confirmed, then you have done a great job this time. Wu Feng was also full of expectations, "Maybe there are some unexpected gains." Come on, go and invite Lord Liang and Master Cui to come to me, and say that there is something important to discuss. ”――

"If there is a beautiful woman in the captive, don't forget to give me one as a reward. "Before Mo Lun left, he still remembered to tell Wu Feng-

When Liang and Cui listened to Wufeng's introduction, they were so excited that they stood up, and they couldn't wait to set off immediately, only to realize that they were a little out of shape at Wufeng's signal, and quickly sat down, this kind of opportunity is really rare. But without Feng's opinion, it is more than enough to go to one division, and there is no need for two divisions to go together, and Fucheng also needs to be guarded. Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu immediately quarreled over who would receive this task, and finally Wufeng had to make a decision to let Cui Wenxiu's Second Garrison Division go on the expedition, but half of the spoils of war should be reserved for the First Garrison Division.

Choi Wen-so immediately dispatched an effective reconnaissance unit, and three days later, the reconnaissance unit returned with satisfactory information.

Wu Feng and Cui Wenxiu led more than 6,000 horses of the Second Garrison Division to quietly leave Qingyang Mansion City under the cover of night, and after a day and a night of marching, they finally came to the Crescent Moon Villa in Jieshi Town, the destination.

Looking at the dark and dreary buildings in front of him, Wu Feng couldn't say what he felt in his heart, the name of this villa is very beautiful, but maybe the next moment, there will be a river of blood and piles of bones here, but the world is so cruel, no one can change it. I hope this Pamela is a man of the times. Cui Wenxiu was making arrangements in an orderly manner, and soon, the entire village was surrounded and impenetrable, and the soldiers were all gearing up, just waiting for the commander to give an order-

With a wave of Wu Feng's hand, thousands of torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the entire village as if it were daylight, and the soldiers who had been impatient for a long time swarmed up and launched an attack according to the plan that had been made, and the battle was not much suspense, and in less than half an hour, the private soldiers in the village were disarmed and surrendered except for a few stubborn ones who were chopped into meat on the spot. The other villagers in the village had been ordered to stay at home and not go out, and nothing else was serious, but they all knew that something must be wrong with Mr. Pamela in the village.

When the soldiers broke through the iron gate of the mansion in the center of the village, Wu Feng and Cui Wenxiu had already come to the gate, and when they looked at the owner who was pale and was put out by the wolf-like soldiers, Wu Feng showed a warm smile on his face: "Mr. Pamela, don't come to harm?"

"Master Li, I don't know what it is to bring the old decay out of the bed in the middle of the night?

"Bold!" "What a big dog!" In the midst of the soldiers' shouts, Wu Feng motioned to the soldiers with his hand to keep quiet, "Mr. Pamela, we don't have to fight with each other, who is right and who is wrong, it will be clear in a while." "Wu Feng is still not angry-

Soon, the soldiers searched the secret compartment of the study for a large number of correspondence with the Luope, including the handwritten letters of the general Tu Da of the Luope Zhengdong, and even a few letters with the officials of the Grand Duchy of Luzon. The interrogation of several of the minor leaders of the private soldiers also came to an end quickly, and in the face of this conclusive evidence, Pamela could only remain silent-

The harvest is huge, from the seized dark room, nearly one million gold coins were found in the silver stamps of the money houses of various countries on the mainland, as well as a large number of calligraphy and paintings, treasures, antiques, rare medicinal materials, etc., the most satisfying thing for Wu Feng is that there are two volumes, one is a detailed topographic map of the provinces in the northwest of the empire, and the other is a detailed topographic map of the Grand Duchy of Luzon. This can't help but make Wu Feng have deep doubts about Pamela's identity-

As soon as he returned to Qingyang Mansion City, Wu Feng ordered Mo Lun to organize people to interrogate Pamela as soon as possible, and sent special personnel to guard Pamela with heavy troops, and at the same time declared that Pamela was the leader of the bandits, and showed relevant evidence to the public, but kept Pamela's other identities a secret.

Wu Feng nationalized a large amount of captured money and rewarded the army, including 20 gold coins for each soldier in the Second Garrison Division and 10 gold coins for each soldier in the First Garrison Division, and also gave a certain reward to the intelligence department led by Mo Lun. Most of the captured private soldiers came from poor local families, and after education, most of them joined the two garrison divisions. After receiving a large amount of funds, the finances of Qingyang Province have been greatly eased, and the development plan has been quickly launched.

Under the fatigue bombing of the intelligence department, the family attack and other methods, Pamela quickly confessed his true identity, he was a wanderer of the Sislo Empire, named Satin, who was exiled to the East Tengger Prairie and was caught by the Luope people, and gave him a sum of money, and sneaked into Qingyang under a pseudonym thirteen years ago to buy land and build a house, and turned into a landlord, shouldering the responsibility of collecting the northwest counties of the empire for the Luope people, especially Qingyang, Bonan, Later, through various connections, he hooked up with the people of the Grand Duchy of Luzon in the southwest, and from then on became a double agent.

Looking at the confession of Pamela presented by Mo Lun, Wu Feng fell into deep thought, this small Qingyang Mansion is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and everyone who can get on it wants to try to intervene, it seems that it is best to be more careful. Maybe I should observe it again, although I have blinded one eye of the Ropes and Luzon people, it is equivalent to reminding each other that they will definitely not be reconciled, and they will definitely have to re-set up candidates, so it is not so easy to master, but the world is difficult to do both, and if you can take care of this end, you can't take care of that end, but fortunately, this Pamela's "contribution" is not small, and it can be regarded as hitting the expected goal-

With the backing of a large amount of money and rare treasures copied from Pamela's house, Wu Feng's confidence is also a lot, at least he has a certain foundation for going to Yanjing to do business, I heard that a group of people from the Imperial Finance Department are thick-hearted, and if they don't have some genuine goods, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass the test. In addition, I have to visit several highnesses in Yanjing this time, and now I still need to maintain good relations, my own strength is not enough to be completely self-reliant, and the implementation of the new plan also needs a good environment and strong support from the empire, which is inseparable from the support of several highnesses and some powerful ministers at least superficially.

Wu Feng was calculating which ministers needed to be dealt with, and at the same time, he was also thinking about leaving Yanjing, and he should also bring a gift back to Gu Ji and Guan, Hua, and An, thinking of Guan, Hua, and An, Wufeng's heart couldn't help but heat up, he had been away from the three daughters for more than three months, and he and them only had two Hongyan books, of course, the letters were inexhaustible tenderness and sweetness, endless thoughts, and sometimes even had to sleep with the letters. Lu Xianxian, this girl, although the relationship is progressing rapidly, has never been able to break through the last hurdle, and then she is busy with work, this girl and her grandfather went back to Jinzhou, but Wu Feng is absolutely sure that she can't escape from her palm, it's just a matter of time-

During the war, due to the high level of mental tension, I don't think that as soon as the nerves are relaxed after the war, it is inevitable that I will be cranky, and if I stay for two more days, I am afraid that I will really be suffocated, it seems that I should discuss with Xiao Tang and them, or should we encourage the vigorous development of this kind of entertainment industry, which is also good for the active economy, and can also solve some necessary problems for some people, such as themselves.
