The next day, according to Ning Ze's instructions, Zhao Tan sent someone to invite all the wealthy merchants and gentry in the city and the local magnates to meet in the restaurant.

I heard that the Marquis of Danyang invited guests, and the powerful and rich people in the city came one after another, and the scene was particularly lively.

It is not easy for people to come here, and after retirement, there are influential former officials, wealthy businessmen, descendants of Dacheng magnates, local celebrities and some family representatives.

These people are all in a hurry to tie Ning Ze, and all kinds of gifts are delivered, which is quite generous.

After all, Ning Ze already controlled Liangzhou, and no one dared to offend easily.

At the banquet, Ning Ze found that except for a few people present, whose loyalty was okay, the rest were all below 30.

And what caught his attention the most was a middle-aged man in green clothes who looked ordinary.

This guy's name is Yang Fu, his loyalty is 0, and he is the representative of the largest family in Xuantang County.

With 0 loyalty, the problem is huge.

Others at least pointed, but he didn't have the slightest.

When the banquet was over, everyone left one after another, Ning Ze secretly observed Yang Fu, and saw him go out to meet the members of the clan, and sure enough, they were all loyal 0.

Loyalty of 0 indicates that these people have no sense of belonging to their own camp and may rebel or defect to other forces at any time.

However, they have not rebelled, and the system belongs to their own camp by default, and the enemy logo has not yet appeared.

Basically, only when the army is self-reliant, or if it takes refuge in the enemy army, will the thief army or enemy army mark officially appear, but it seems that this Yang family is almost the same.

The largest family in Xuantang County? From the attitudes of many people attending the banquet, it can be inferred that the Yang family has indeed a great influence in Xuantang County.

Perhaps, the problem has been found!

Ning Ze found Zhao Tan: "Arrange it, Gu wants to visit the Yang family secretly!"

"Master Hou, why is this?"

"Don't worry so much, prepare a carriage for me!"

"Whoa!"

Zhao Tan hurriedly arranged, and the carriage quickly stopped outside the restaurant.

Ning Ze and Mi Yan got into the car and moved all the way to the mansion.

On the way, Ning Ze lifted the window of the car to observe secretly, and found several sneaky figures following.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Mi Yan asked.

"It's okay!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "When you get to the remote place at the intersection ahead, I'll get out of the car first." Take the people back to the mansion and don't be seen as leaving!"

"Okay!" Mi Yan nodded in agreement.

The carriage walked into the corner alley, and at the second turn, Ning Ze quickly jumped down and quickly hid in the corner.

Mi Yan let the carriage move on, heading in the direction of the mansion.

Ning Ze hid himself and hid in the corner to observe secretly.

It didn't take long for the sneaky man behind him to continue to move forward with the carriage.

When he passed, Ning Ze came out of the corner and ran away to the other side.

When I ran to the exit of the alley, I saw a carriage parked on the side of the road, and quickly got into the carriage and lowered the curtain.

It turned out that Zhao Tan had arranged for the car to wait here in advance.

"Go to Yang's house!"

"Drive!" The coachman was a close confidant of Zhao Tan, and when he was ordered to directly raise the whip and drive the carriage to the street.

When he arrived at Yang's house, the coachman immediately reminded Ning Ze.

Ning Ze thought about it carefully and said to him: "Take Gu to the vicinity of Yang's house and choose a place where there are few people to park." After I go down, don't go back to the mansion, go around to the nearby inn and stop and wait. ”

"Whoa!"

"What did you prepare?"

"Lord Hou, it's under your seat, you can see it when you open the plank!"

Ning Ze got up and flipped through the plank, and saw a storage box underneath, in which a change of clothes was placed.

The linen clothes worn by ordinary people are exclusive to the poor, and there are a few patches.

Directly change it in the carriage, put the python robe into the famous item inventory, and then untie the hair and loosen it, no one should recognize him.

"Master Hou, it's here!" In a deserted area, the carriage stopped.

Ning Ze vigilantly probed the surroundings through the car window to make sure that there was no problem, so he went down and waved his hand to let him leave quickly.

The other party drove away, and Ning Ze walked towards the rear of the huge Yang family according to the direction pointed by the coachman.

Passing through the street, you will enter an alley, and next to the wall is the courtyard of the Yang family.

There are not many people in the alley, it is very quiet.

Keep walking, and hear voices in your ears.

For safety, Ning Ze quickly hid around the corner to hide himself.

It turned out that the two houses in the corner were very close to each other, so he stretched out his hands and feet against the walls on both sides and carefully moved up. Stop at the top and observe below.

After a while, I saw a few people coming from the right, one dressed as a family member and the other people dressed as a few people.

The men talked as they walked, as if they were holding something in their hands.

"Brother Shun, give me more!" a peasant woman dressed as a peasant begged the family to ask for it.

"Auntie, that's enough!"

"That's all there really is?"

"That's all!"

"Forget it, what are you talking about today?"

"The lord instructed, according to the new content, or the same request, to avoid all the official eyes and ears, and spread it in private. ”

"Rest assured, everyone knows the road with ease. Let's gossip with our friends, where can the government manage it?"

"Anyway, be careful, it's very troublesome to have a big man at a critical moment!"

"Yes!"

......

A few people were talking, and the family gave each person a bag of silver and a bundle of small bamboo slips. Then they spread out and walked in different directions.

Ning Ze waited for them to leave, then slowly moved down, and finally returned to the ground.

After a moment's thought, he secretly went to the direction where the peasant woman had left, and saw her turn into a path, and quietly followed without being discovered, looking for an opportunity to take out a piece of silver and throw it over.

"Click!" the silver fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

He immediately concealed his form.

The peasant woman was startled when she heard the voice, and hurriedly turned her head to look around, but did not find Ning Ze. Soon I saw the silver ingot on the side of the road, my eyes lit up, and I hurried over to pick it up.

As she approached, Ning Ze rushed out from the side, knocking her out from behind before she could react.

Knock over the peasant woman, quickly snatch the bamboo slips she got from the family, and flee with the silver.

Come to a safe place, slowly open the bamboo slip, and carefully review the contents.

The more I looked at it, the more angry I became, it turned out that it was all smearing and rumors, slandering my own camp. There are those who smear themselves, saying that if they capture a city, they will slaughter the people, rob boys and girls to practice demon law, and some smear their own army, saying that the Futu army is a demon army and must eat people, and they will capture the people as military rations everywhere they go. There are also all kinds of exaggerated smear content aimed at oneself, which is infuriating! It is also mixed with some words praising the Yang family. It even encourages the people to spy on the foreign 'demons', and any information can be provided to the Yang family in exchange for money.

It is no wonder that the morale of the people in Xuantang County is declining, and they also feel that they are being watched everywhere.

Taking advantage of the shortcomings of the slow spread of news in this era, the Yang family is so demagogic that they must have bad intentions!

The people here are also ignorant, and the other party's methods are hidden, so they can buy some people who can speak well, just like gossip and spread rumors with the people around them, which is impossible to prevent.

Zhao Tan and the others just arrived in Xuantang County, compared with the Yang family as the head snake, of course, they are not as influential as the other party, and the people believe that the Yang family is more than Zhao Tan, and they are confused by rumors, so they naturally go all out to help the Yang family.

In this case, I am afraid that all the officials of the government are not credible. Officials can be assigned, and petty officials can basically follow the previous ones, or solicit locals. In this way, Zhao Tan and the others were deceived by the officials, and it was normal for them to not get the slightest news, but they still felt that everything was under control, and they didn't know that they were being played with and applauded.

Ding Mu's disappearance is inseparable from the Yang family!

This is the home of the Yang family, depending on the situation, the entire county is secretly controlled by the other party, and sooner or later it will stand on its own! Otherwise, this kind of thing will not be done.

It is very simple to destroy the Yang family, just mobilize the heavy infantry outside the city, and it can be easily wiped out.

The other party definitely didn't expect to be locked by himself so soon, after all, no one knew about the system.

However, Ding Mu's life and death are unknown, and it is not easy for the general to obtain, in case someone is in the hands of the other party, it may kill him when he is encircled and suppressed. There was already an urgent shortage of manpower, and any loss was difficult for Ning Ze to accept.

It is necessary to find out whether Ding Mu is dead or alive, if he is dead, he will directly encircle and suppress the Yang family and completely eradicate it; if he is alive, he must try to rescue and save this general!

The question is, where is Ding Mu?

Ning Ze thought about it for a long time, and the fastest way to find him was to use his body as bait.

The ears and eyes of the Yang family are all over the county, I am afraid that they are more dense than the official mansion, and even the inside of the official mansion is eyeliner.

Ding Mu's disappearance during the investigation shows that the Yang family will do their best to block all news before doing big things to ensure that there will be no mistakes.

Most of the people here don't recognize themselves, and only Yang Fu of the Yang family has seen him at the banquet.

Change your clothes, change your look, and then smear some mud on your face, and no one will know that you are Danyang Hou Ningze.

Directly fanfare and inquiring about the news in the city will definitely attract people from the Yang family.

They probably didn't dare to move Danyang Hou easily, but an unidentified outsider had absolutely no scruples!

Xing Xu can use this to find Ding Mu, he has a system in hand, and he has no scruples.

Thinking of this, he smeared some mud on the ground and smeared it on his face and clothes, making him look like a farmer who had just finished working in the field, and then went to the crowded streets, pretending to be cautious, and asked the surrounding people about Ding Mu one by one.

Sure enough, such a move quickly attracted attention, and it didn't take long for someone wearing a family costume to quietly appear and follow behind Ning Ze.

Ning Ze pretended not to know, deliberately investigated all the way, and then walked to a remote place where there were few people.

The number of people following gradually increased, and they quickly caught up, and there were seven or eight big men.

In fact, Ning Ze's force could easily bring these people down. But instead of doing that, he turned around and put on a defensive posture, pretending to be panicked: "Y-Who are you? What do you want to do?"

These big men in household clothes looked at each other, showing unkind eyes, hugged Ning Ze, and quickly carried him away with a sack.

Ning Ze pretended to struggle and let the other party take him away.

I couldn't figure out the direction in the sack, I just knew that I was taken somewhere, thrown into a carriage and walked a long way.

The county seat should not have such a large area, could it be that you are out of the city? But you have not passed through any city gate, what is the matter? Is there a secret passage to the outside of the city?

Where are they going to take themselves?

Judging from this situation, it is very likely that Ding Mu is alive. Perhaps the place they took them to was the place where Ding Mu was imprisoned.
