Chapter 189: Counter-espionage?
The warm candlelight illuminated the empty hall of the Quadruple Gang Helmsman.
Zhang Chu sat alone in the lobby, looking tired with one hand on his head.
The mule slowed down and walked lightly into the lobby.
"It's back. ”
Zhang Chu asked softly.
"Well, the cheats of "Frost and Cold" and "Reverse Snow Slash" are here. ”
The mule took out two leather bags from his bosom and bowed.
Zhang Chu glanced at it, not in the mood to look at it, "Take it." ”
"Yes, Master Chu. ”
The mule stepped forward respectfully and put the two cowhide bags on the table in Zhang Chu's hand.
"How's the Yum Dao people doing?"
Zhang Chu asked.
Mule: "Dead, Brother Zheng personally cut off his head with a knife." ”
Zhang Chu let out a faint "oh".
"Send his head back to the Prancing Horse Village tomorrow. ”
Mule: "Yes, Master Chu." ”
"Summoning the rudder of Lingtian, Shaoli, and Dianhe counties, blocking all the horse roads around Yuema Village, and cutting off the financial road of Yuema Village for half a year. ”
"Yes, Master Chu. ”
"Summoning the Xuanwu Hall, asking the big bear to escort the family back to the city, digging tunnels and postponing the return of the merchant who rented the warehouse for half a month. ”
"Yes, Master Chu. ”
"Those words written on your arm, haven't you washed them?"
"Nope. ”
"Transcribe it, secretly look for people who can read the characters outside the Guanwai, separate them for identification, sort them out, and report them to me. ”
"Yes, Master Chu. ”
"Alright, it's okay, you can go back and rest first. ”
"Yes, Master Chu. ”
The mule retreated, retreated after a few steps, and asked cautiously: "Master Chu, there is something unclear in the minds of your subordinates, can you please explain the doubts of your subordinates." ”
Zhang Chu raised his chin: "Say!"
"When we were in the warehouse before, since you knew that there was something wrong with the golden knife, why didn't you take the golden knife with you at that time, according to the time, the people of the Wu clan could not take the golden knife before the city guards arrived...... Could it be that you knew in advance that the Wu clan had arranged a shadow in the east of the city to deal with the golden knife?"
It can be seen that this question has been holding on to the mule's mind for a long time.
Zhang Chu smiled, and appreciated the mule's willingness to use his brain to reflect.
For this event, he made a lot of arrangements.
Some work, some don't.
But the most correct arrangement is undoubtedly to return the golden knife to its original place!
"I don't know if the Wu clan has arranged for a shadow. ”
Zhang Chu said slowly: "But I know that since the Wu clan sent Boss Wu to pick up that batch of goods, they will definitely make arrangements for that golden knife." ”
"At that time, if I took that golden knife, even if it was meant to avoid goods for his Wu clan, but in fact, it was to disrupt his Wu clan's arrangement. ”
"That golden knife is very involved, and if it just disappears out of thin air, the Wu clan will definitely track its whereabouts. ”
"The people of the Prancing Horse Village sent the golden knife into the warehouse. ”
"Wu Shi didn't find the golden knife in the warehouse. ”
"Even if they hadn't discovered the tunnel, the spearhead would have been pointed directly at my Quadruple. ”
"Gu Xiong saw that the golden knife was still alive because he had a good father and a good big brother. ”
"Our father and eldest brother who are not so strong support us, once we let the Wu clan know that we have seen that golden knife, we will definitely die. ”
After all, it is evidence of the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family, and if Zhang Chu is replaced, he will also choose to kill people and destroy his mouth.
The mule listened to his eldest brother break the truth and explain to himself sentence by sentence, and at the same time, he was a little afraid!
If his eldest brother had made a wrong decision at that time, now the Quadruple Gang is afraid that a catastrophe is coming!
Thinking of this, he sincerely admired his eldest brother.
In such a short period of time, he could have thought so far.
If he were to be him, he would definitely be thinking about how to get through the city guards, how could he think about it so much.
"That's right. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Chu also remembered something, "Arrange for two people to fill in the tunnel tonight." ”
"When the subordinates go back, they will arrange for people to do it. ”
"Go ahead!"
Zhang Chu raised his chin at him.
The mule saluted Zhang Chu again, turned around and exited the lobby.
Zhang Chu sat alone in the empty lobby.
He's also reviewing the whole thing.
By now, he had figured out a lot of things.
The only thing I haven't figured out yet is ...... Is the county government really sure that the Wu clan collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country?
If you want to say sure, today's actions of the county government are a little thunderous and rainy.
With the meaning of that golden knife, the Wu clan was definitely not as simple as simply transmitting a message to the Northern Barbarians.
But it has already achieved a very high status within the Beiban!
It makes sense.
The family rule of the Wu clan that "all children surnamed Wu are not allowed to practice martial arts" should be the product of his compromise with the imperial court at the beginning of the Wu clan, just like a choice between a fish and a bear's paw, the Wu family chose the fish and abandoned the bear's paw.
The wealth and status that he has today is indispensable to this family rule.
But at this time and at that time, the Wu clan has developed to the current scale, and this clan rule, which has brought them a lot of convenience, has now become the most fatal weakness of his Wu clan.
Virtue is not matched, it is said that this is the situation that Wushi is facing now.
If the Wu clan doesn't want to become a fish on the chopping board of the imperial court in the future, he can only find a way to save himself.
However, the first iron law of the Dali Dynasty of "non-martial artists, not as chief officials" completely blocked the possibility of the Wu clan going further in Dali.
In Dali, it is impossible to go further, and the Beiban has naturally become a way out, and many are still the only way out.
Wu's main cloud horse, itself is produced outside the Guan.
The Wu clan can make a fortune by stepping on the cloud horse, of course, it has an inextricable relationship with the Northern Barbarians.
With the wealth and status of the Wu clan in Xuanbei and Yanbei now, if you want to choose to join the enemy...... As long as the lord of the Northern Barbarians is not stupid, he will definitely give the Wu clan a high position.
That golden knife is a token!
In this case, if the county government determines that the Wu clan collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, will it be thunder and rain?
He Di Jian is not afraid of the court being held accountable?
But if you want to say that the county government is not sure, then he can't understand the county government's actions today.
Wu Shi is not a petty thief.
If you are not completely sure, you dare to search for his Wu's goods under the banner of "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country"?
Not afraid of the Uzbe's counterattack?
For example, Wu Qianyuan's cruel words to Lu Andi today, Zhang Chu didn't think it was just a scene.
When the dust settles on this matter, the Wu clan will definitely make a move to Lu Andi!
Only by destroying Lu Andi can he deter the other bulls and horses in Jintian Mansion.
"Is it possible...... Woo is actually a counter-espionage?"
After thinking about it, Zhang Chu only thought of this one possibility.
"The Wu clan is 'collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country' on the surface, but secretly he is actually a spy for the imperial court to break into the Northern Barbarians?"
"It's entirely possible!"
This can explain why the county government thunders and rains little. ”
"Then, Lu Andi is a victim pushed out by the county government?"
"That's right, the county guard's surname is Di, but your name is Andy, who will you sacrifice if you don't sacrifice you?"
