Lu Cong's people quickly sent the copied pigeon training technology back to Chizhou, and at the same time reported the agreement of the Chamber of Commerce to secretly sell carrier pigeons.

Lu Cong was overjoyed: "Sure enough, as the military advisor expected! Ning Ze actually trained pigeons to send messages, it's not easy! No wonder the other party's intelligence is always one step faster than us." Now that we have obtained the technology of pigeon training and acquired 100,000 carrier pigeons, we can transmit information more quickly. ”

"Prime Minister!" Emperor Hui was a little worried, "for some pigeons that can be seen everywhere, it cost 200,000 gold?"

"Your Majesty doesn't understand! The flying pigeon is extremely important, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, one will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" Lu Cong said, "Why can Ning Ze be able to win a hundred battles, and it has nothing to do with this! Any information can be transmitted faster than the enemy, and it can be caught off guard before the enemy reacts! Trained pigeons are particularly precious, and the money is well spent! Who is the person sent to Huajun?"

"Prime Minister!" a civil official stood up, "This person's surname is Zheng Mingyi." ”

"Very good! When he returns to Chizhou, he will be reused!"

"Whoa!"

"This good news must be shared with the military division as soon as possible! Wait for me to write a letter and send it to the front-line military division barracks!"

Lu Chong was inexplicably excited to get the pigeon training technology. In order to improve the intelligence network as soon as possible, he eagerly contacted the Chamber of Commerce and urged the merchants to bring 100,000 carrier pigeons.

With great difficulty, the merchant successfully sent the carrier pigeon to Chizhou as a beam and handed over to Lu Cong.

Lu Chong set up a new intelligence yamen, which was responsible for feeding and training carrier pigeons, and sent all 100,000 pigeons over.

The merchant got the gold and immediately used the power of the Chamber of Commerce to advance in the direction of Golden State.

It has been a few days since 100,000 pigeons were successfully placed. The number is too large to be properly arranged, and it can be time-consuming.

Because the merchant said that the pigeons were secretly brought in after a long journey, and they were not adapted to the water and soil, and they needed to rest for a few days before they could be used. The Chamber of Commerce has a good reputation, and Lu Cong has no doubts.

After a few days, everything was fine.

I was ready to see how amazing the flying pigeon book was, and suddenly someone hurriedly came to report it, saying that it was a large number of carrier pigeons that had been bought with a lot of money and died, and I couldn't stop it by all means!

Lu Cong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered to keep the pigeon at all costs. Personally brought hundreds of civil and military officials over to inspect and rescue urgently.

The situation was out of control, at least nearly half of the 100,000 pigeons were sick that day, in a weakened state, and many died. Other circumstances have changed, which does not bode well.

This is 200,000 gold, a treasure bought with a huge amount of money, and if you die, you can feel distressed, not to mention such a scale of collective disease death?

In order to find out what was going on, Lu Cong hurriedly ordered to summon someone from the Chamber of Commerce to come over to check and remedy.

Soon, the subordinates reported: "The real estate of the Chamber of Commerce in the city has changed hands, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce do not know when they will disappear and cannot be found!"

Lu Cong was shocked when he heard this, and sensed that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered all the members of the Chamber of Commerce to be recovered, and all the branches of the Chamber of Commerce in Chi and Bozhou should be controlled.

It's just that he didn't know that the Chamber of Commerce had already prepared in advance when they were sent over, and they fled with the strategy of the golden cicada coming out of its shell.

This is the disadvantage of the slow transmission of information in various places, which leads to the inability of intelligence to keep up.

If he was in Jinzhou, the information would reach Ning Ze's ears that day, and he would immediately control the whole city, and no one would be able to escape.

This side ordered people to hunt down the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and they trusted them so much that they dared to do such a thing. On the other hand, he ordered all the doctors in the city to be summoned, regardless of whether they would treat the pigeons or not, and forced them to be treated to prevent them from continuing to die.

The doctors were very helpless, they were not veterinarians, but they did not dare to disobey the order, so they could only make a diagnosis. But how do the pigeons diagnose it, where do they know?

After a few days of tossing, nearly 80,000 of the 100,000 pigeons have died, and the rest will not last long.

Finally, a doctor found the key point and said to Lu Cong: "The problem should be in the feed!"

Lu Cong frowned: "Impossible! My people take care of the pigeons exactly according to the correct breeding method...... Will the remaining pigeons be able to be saved?"

The doctor shook his head helplessly: "Prime Minister, according to my observation, these pigeons have a tendency to be poisoned, we really don't know how to save the birds, and it seems useless to induce vomiting on them in recent days." ”

"You can't even save pigeons, what do you want?" Lu Cong was furious.

The doctor looked aggrieved: "Prime Minister, we are here to treat people......"

With all the effort, the money, and the strength, 100,000 pigeons still died cleanly.

Lu Cong's heart ached so much that he ordered people to severely punish those "useless doctors", and then sent the copied pigeon training technology to the front line, and asked Sima Fa to see what went wrong.

Sima Fa quickly replied, and marked a few oblique words on the last page of this pigeon training technique, and attached a sentence: "This is Ning Ze's plan!"

Lu Cong carefully looked at the words marked by Sima Fa and almost vomited blood.

It turns out that there is a hidden sentence on the last page, which is obliquely down from the right side to the left, with a total of six big characters: "Thank you for the prime minister's gold!"

When I saw this sentence, I knew that I was being tricked, which was deliberately arranged by Ning Ze.

Thinking of the sudden withdrawal of the domestic chamber of commerce, it was silent, and combined with this matter, the fool also knows what is going on.

It seems that these 100,000 pigeons are not trained pigeons at all, otherwise Ning Ze can be willing to do it?

200,000 gold, that's not a small amount! Lu Cong was so angry that he directly tore up the copied pigeon training technology, which is a fake at all!

Another letter sent by Sima Fa informed Lu Cong that there were two possibilities for Zheng Yi, a meticulous work sent out, one was that he was bribed by Ning Ze and cooperated with the other party after the rebellion, and the other was that Zheng Yi was seen through by Ning Ze and fell for the other party's counter-plot. No matter which one it is, Ning Ze has already seen through his own plan, and this person is by no means simple, I hope that the prime minister will immediately order that those who have infiltrated Jinzhou will not be active for the time being, and it is best to hide and wait for the opportunity.

Lu Cong listened to Sima Fa's advice and sent someone to spread the word to make the fine work hide himself.

It's a pity that bad news came, all the fine works in Jinzhou were arrested one after another, and none of them ran away!

I don't know what means Ning Ze used, but the preliminary guess is that someone inside rebelled and revealed his membership to him.

However, the truth is that Ning Ze can easily find out the spies in the crowd by patrolling around through the system function, and no one can escape his eyes.

Spies who want to get information must operate in the most accessible areas of the city, which are the most prosperous areas. As a result, Ning Ze caught a quasi-one, and no one could escape.

Zheng Yi was the first to be arrested, and when he was still asleep, he was directly pulled out of bed and tied up, looking confused.

The fine work who contacted him was also captured by Ning Ze and all of them were imprisoned.

The two sides clashed, and Ning Ze not only used false information to slaughter Lu Cong, but also took advantage of the situation to exterminate the entire fine gang laid out by the other party and uproot it.

Lu Cong hated it so much that he vowed to cut off Ning Ze's head. If it weren't for the army, I would have gone out to Jinzhou in person and settle accounts with Ning Ze.

However, I still listened to Sima Fa's words, last time because of the discord, the good situation was lost, this time I no longer questioned my son-in-law, first endured being played by Ning Ze, and concentrated on annexing Lian Zhen and Li Xun.

The Chamber of Commerce transported the gold back, and 120,000 gold was collected into the official warehouse, and Liu Yuanxiang was so happy that he couldn't do it.

Because of the huge losses caused by the locust plague, her finances were very tight, but she didn't expect to get a windfall by accident, and she was glad to get Ning Ze in her heart.

The 100,000 pigeons are not distressed, they are not formed carrier pigeons anyway. One part is captured and sold by the people, and the other part is incubated and cultivated by themselves. The carrier pigeons of the intelligence departments around the country are enough, and they can exchange this for 120,000 gold, which is simply a lot of money!

However, he was a little worried that Lu Cong would be angry and lead troops to kill him to retaliate against him, so he asked Ning Ze for advice.

Ning Ze said to her: "Lu Cong has no time to look east at the moment, and wants to swallow Li Xun and Lian Zhen. His main goal is to take down Yunzhou Miliang, after all, it is the real imperial city, and there is a jade seal that symbolizes the identity of the emperor! We don't need to worry, we should do a good job in internal affairs and ensure that we have enough grain and grass after the autumn harvest!"

Liu Yuanxiang was relieved: "How to deal with the arrested details?"

"I will order people to interrogate day and night, and try to obtain information from Lu Cong's side. If the other party cooperates, you can spare his life. If you don't cooperate, you will dispose of it all!"

Liu Yuanxiang nodded slightly, although she was benevolent and righteous, she also knew that she could not be soft-hearted towards the enemy. Righteousness should be applied to one's own people, and unless the opponent is truly worthy of respect, it is a woman's kindness, not true benevolence.

Zheng Yi and other fine works were found out, and in addition to Lu Cong's people, there were also Chu Bai's subordinates, and even someone from Liangzhou.

Obviously, Chu Bai and the sons of the Sun family, who were still fighting internally, were a little hostile to themselves.

Of course, it is also useless work. In front of himself, the spy has nothing to hide.

Unlike Zheng Yi, Qian Chun, Qian Shi, Feng Cheng, and Wu Jian are not spies, but sincerely take refuge. After a period of observation, except for Wu Jian's ability to do things is slightly worse, he can basically use it. Wu Jian has the worst brain among the four, a bit diligent in doing things, whether it is useful or not, and he is more obedient.

Anyway, it's barely used, at least it's a trusted strategist.

Ning Ze called the four of them to the front and said to them, "I am very satisfied that I have been observing you all this time! With your ability, you can indeed do some more important things. From today onwards, the four gentlemen no longer have to deal with those simple official duties, come to my side to help and handle confidential official documents for me!"

Hearing this, the four of them showed excitement on their faces and responded in unison: "Thank you Zhonglang for your trust!"

"It's me who thanks you!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "This job will be transferred, and my wife and I will be able to make it easier." When the time comes, let your father-in-law take you with you, don't let me down!"

"We must do our best!!"

During this time, Ning Ze and Chu Meiren shared, which was actually quite tiring. handed over to the four of them, and with his father-in-law Chu Xun watching, he could finally come down easily.

After the autumn harvest, I was afraid that I would go on an expedition again, so I took advantage of the time to accompany Liu Yuanxiang, Mi Yan and Chu Meiren, and took them around and played in the mountains and rivers. Some time ago, the busy official business made the family nervous, physically and mentally exhausted, and finally handed over the work, and it is very important to take a proper rest!
