Xia Jigang has a bit of an impression of Yao Qi, and vaguely remembers that she has long eyebrows and sideburns, smart apricot eyes, full of heroism, beautiful appearance, and refreshing temperament, not delicate or cowardly, and she does her best to run errands.

Xia Jigang retracted his thoughts, nodded and smiled: "If it weren't for the fact that the old man was familiar with Jiu Chao's temperament, he would really mistakenly think that Jiu Chao had something in mind about Yao joining the army." ”

Han Changdui didn't seem to hear this, he was not embarrassed or shy, and he didn't say anything.

Xia Jigang's white eyebrows were raised, he was still a young offspring, and when he reached his age, he should know that there was a caring person in the house, which was a more comfortable thing than a very human minister, but Yao Qi was really not worthy of his family background.

Just entered the palace to face the saint, and when he was talking about business, the saint mentioned it meaningfully, asking him to take care of this junior.

This is the word "care", both public and private.

It is rumored that the eldest son of the Han family, who has a prominent status, has already passed the age of discussing relatives, but there is no one in the room.

He smiled dryly and advised: "The dark piles of the first branch are all Yang Youzi's henchmen, carefully cultivated, and they can be brought with them for a long time, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Han Changwei should claim to be.

Xia Jigang held his knees and thought slowly: "For a long time, in the past few years, the imperial court has used troops against the Turks, although it has regained the Yumen Pass and opened up the Northwest Trade Road, but after several big battles, natural and man-made disasters have been caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters year after year, and the treasury has been poor. ”

He cried for a long time, and finally turned to the topic: "Although it would be a catastrophe if the defense map fell into the hands of the Turks, it would be a catastrophe, but the military department still has a backup method, so as not to lose the opportunity, but the lost salary is not a small amount, and the sage is strict to find out." ”

In the final analysis, in the eyes of the saints, silver is still more important than human life.

Han Changdui nodded: "I understand. ”

Xia Jigang took out a page from his sleeve and folded it in a boxy manner: "The tea tax and salt tax are insufficient, the news is that the Turks are frequently harassed, and there are horse bandits, and the matter of rhubarb can not be delayed any longer. ”

Han Changwan looked at the page, and there was only one line written on it: Han Jiuchao, the eldest son of Han Zengshou, was ordered by the Imperial Physician Department.

This is a good new identity, Han Changwan nodded: "My lord, then Yao's identity in the army." ”

Xia Jigang smiled: "Han Yiling's eldest son is traveling, and it is not too much to bring a big girl to accompany him." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows, but he recognized this statement, so he didn't say anything more, and left.

One hundred and eight miles in Chang'an City is like a dot of chess, the winding alleys are deep and secluded, the so-called East Guixi Fu, next to the imperial city of the big square live in most of the noble families, every inch of gold and land on the boundary, even the thatched houses are built extraordinarily exquisitely, there is no deserted and unmanned house at all.

Far from the city, the many lanes in the south of the city are much more desolate.

The people who live in Chang'an City are all poor people who are struggling to make a living, and those who can't survive have to leave Chang'an City and find another way to make a living.

The empty houses in these alleys are not looked down upon by the rich, and the poor cannot afford them, so they are slowly abandoned.

In the dead of night, the moon shadow is swaying, there is a ban in Chang'an City, and many unseemly things happen in these empty houses, but there are no absolutes, there are always those who are not afraid of death, and they will see unsightly things under the bright moonlight.

On the deep ridge of the roof, there was a person lying on his stomach, lying motionless for half an hour, as if he was dead, in the early autumn night, it was already very cold, but he didn't even shiver, which showed that his body was hard.

Seeing that the time was coming, the internal security division Ding branch and the C branch changed defenses, one team came out of the internal security division, and the other team went out from Changle Gate, to pass through the streets and alleys about 20 zhang wide.

On that street, there were no lights, no moonlight, and no fingers were visible.

The man on the ridge finally moved, and as a proof that he was a big living man, he raised his head slightly, and made a cooing sound like an owl.

In autumn nights, owls are not uncommon, and there are often owls on the top of a large banyan tree outside the internal guard.

Three short and two long, cooing five times.

As soon as the sound died down, the sound of Zi Shi struck up, and Ding Zhi and C Zhi faced each other and walked to the alley.

A black figure, falling from the big banyan tree, fluttering, like autumn leaves silently landing, taking advantage of the two teams to change guards, into the dark streets and alleys of the moment, the person silently walked into the door of the internal security division.

In the official room, Han Changwan was holding a scroll, and when he saw Meng Sui coming in in a hurry, he didn't raise his head and said, "It's here." ”

Meng Suijie nodded: "Here, the one in the prison has been arrested, and the one on the roof has also followed." ”

The scroll was lightly knocked in the palm of his hand, and Han Changdui said calmly: "Shut it up first, don't pay attention to him." ”

The man on the roof, after waiting for half a cup of tea, did not see anyone come out of the Internal Security Division, he knew that something was wrong, and the person must have folded in the prison of the Internal Security Division, he no longer hesitated, "Bah", spit out the grass roots in his mouth to the gray tiles, and flew away.

After the curfew, there are fangding patrolling in each mile, and the door is also locked, and there are fangding guarding, this guard looks strict, but it is full of loopholes, and the gentleman is not against the villain.

Not to mention the powerful people, you can walk in and out at will with a sign, just those shoulder-high walls, as well as those who can only do some fist and foot kung fu, can't stop the masters of flying eaves and walking on the wall, not to mention the remote wall roots, there are also dog holes deliberately dug by people.

The man was extremely neat and familiar with the route of the fangding's patrol, so he carefully avoided it.

Silently walked through the streets and alleys, climbed over the wall of the fang, and without alarming anyone, he passed all the way through the Taiping Fang and Yanshou Fang, and the person finally turned into the ancestral hall of Puning Fang.

This man did not alarm anyone, and the two people behind him did not alarm him, and when they saw him enter the ancestral hall, they left one to guard it, and the other went back to the internal security department.

Han Changdui listened to Meng Sui's reply, knocked his fingers on the map of Chang'an City, and said calmly: "This ancestral hall has two gates in front and back, and four clever people are sent to guard it in turn, and wait for the one in the prison to spit out." ”

Meng Suiqi was obviously familiar with the methods in the prison, and nodded hurriedly: "I have searched my body, fed the soft tendons, stripped off and thrown it into the round room, and fed him Hu Biscuits every other hour, without water." ”

"Then burn the earth dragon in the round room." Han Changdui said calmly.

Meng Suiqi chuckled: "It's dry, hot and without water, and it is estimated that it will be left in two days." ”

Han Changdui twisted the corner of the book, his expression calm: "Tomorrow, you follow Captain Cheng and them by land, and after the matter is over, I will go by water with Yao Senjun of Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Meng Sui was close to Han Changdui across the road, and smiled: "My lord, Yao is a girl in the army, you are a lonely man and a widow, it's not very convenient." ”

"......" Han Changdui was speechless, so he had to knock Meng Sui with the scroll, and a trace of pain suddenly appeared in his calm eyebrows: "After you arrive at the Yumen Pass, you go all out to investigate the whereabouts of that divine doctor, and let Captain Cheng and them check the case first, you don't have to care, just keep an eye on them." ”

Meng Sui smiled as much as he could, nodded yes, turned around and retreated.

In the middle of the night, the clouds cover the full moon, the shadows are hazy, and on the west side of the Buzheng Fang, a huge horn-shaped silhouette is cast on the wall of the workshop, and the silhouette is dark and hazy below, blending into the blue brick alley with water.

The shrine was quiet, the fire in the altar was burning, and the red fire shone on the snow-white wall.

The two men hid their figures through the altar, and only their voices were deliberately muffled.

"Puning Fang has leaked." This voice is a bit rough, the Chinese are jerky and lame, and there are some nonsense at the end of the sentences.

The other man hesitated for a moment, clearly a little afraid of the person in front of him, and his voice was low and respectful: "Yes, the fourth man was too careless, and he didn't notice the person who was following the Internal Security Division behind." ”

He coughed a few times: "Gu Laosan is in the Internal Health Division, and he will confess in a few days, and the people from Puning Fang will withdraw first." ”

A respectful voice replied in a low voice, and continued: "The south side is all arranged, and in five days, we will get on the boat and exchange goods at Fenglingdu." ”

He said in a rough voice: "There are two batches of goods detained by the garrison army of Yumen Pass in front, and this batch of goods can no longer be sent out safely, and Sabao will be replaced." ”

"Yes, rest assured, this shipment is foolproof."

The words gradually faded, and the two men came out of the shrine one after the other, and under the moonlight, the white robe was hazy like the wind, and it disappeared in a flash, like a ghost.

On the west side of the Taiji Palace, through the thousand-step corridor and into the Jiayou Gate, a large number of rows of low palaces rise and fall in the night, and the dark shadows are low and depressed.

There are many and miscellaneous people in the palace, all of them are sin slave palace people who sell coolies, and they work hard all day, and they rest early when it gets dark.

At night, all the lights are extinguished, and the inner courtyard with the lights is like two people.

Countless pairs of eyes staring at the flies in the dark, between the Jiayou Gate and the thousand-step corridor, there is an inconspicuous narrow corner, the blue bricks are towering all around, there are roof tiles stacked on top of each other, the sun can't shine here, it's quite a bit cold and cold, and few people come on weekdays.

Few people came, and it was not that no one came, and in the middle of the night, a fire was briefly lit, and a lamp was lit dimly.

There was an indistinguishable sharp voice from under the lamp, and although the voice was low, it was still a little harsh: "Back to the spirit envoy, the sage issued a secret decree today, ordering the internal security secretary to go to Yumen Pass to investigate the disappearance of the silver." ”

"The Holy Lord is exactly what he expected." As if a gust of wind was blowing, the voice in the darkness was leisurely: "The Holy Lord has ordered, you try to find out when Han Changdui went, who he brought with him, and what route he took." ”

Sharpened his voice and said, "The Holy Lord is really going to do it?" ”

The wind wandered and said: "The thoughts of the Holy Lord, how can you and I speculate, you just have to obey the order." ”
