Chapter 203: Counter-Plotting

Zheng Yitou was under Ning Ze's door, intentionally or unintentionally asking the people around him about the reason why Liu Yuanxiangjun's intelligence was transmitted so quickly, and at the same time he was more obscure about Ning Ze's information.

If you don't take precautions, you may be able to succeed by him. It's just that Ning Ze has already ordered his subordinates to secretly look at Zheng Yi and pay attention to his actions. Therefore, the people Zheng Yi came into contact with were warned in advance, and it was impossible to leak key information.

Liang Wu truthfully reported all Zheng Yi's actions in the past few days, and Ning Ze lowered his head and thought secretly.

"Big brother, on the one hand, this person wants to know the secret of the flying pigeon biography, and on the other hand, he wants to probe your details, I am afraid that Lu Cong's side knows that our information transmission is particularly fast, and at the same time he has some scruples about you, and wants to find your weaknesses. Liang Wu asked in a low voice, gesturing his hand at his neck, "Do you want to ask General Ghost Face to ...... him?"

Ning Ze shook his head slightly, raised his head and said to Liang Wu: "It's a pity to kill it." ”

"What does this mean, big brother?" Liang Wu didn't understand, "This meticulous work came to investigate the information, can you let it go?"

"If you want to find out the secret of the flying pigeon's book, then let him get his wish!" Ning Ze gently touched his chin.

Liang Wu was startled, and hurriedly persuaded: "No, big brother, the flying pigeon transmission is our top-secret intelligence transmission method, and it is precisely because of the rapid transmission of information that we can always get the news faster and more comprehensively than the enemy." Isn't that what you said yourself? It would be very bad to let the enemy master the Flying Pigeon Transmission and obtain an intelligence system like ours!"

"Little Wu, don't worry!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "In fact, as the territory gets bigger and bigger, and the intelligence network becomes more and more extensive, sooner or later, someone will discover the secret of the flying pigeon's book." Obviously, Lu Cong's side had already noticed it, and he was one step ahead of the other princes. In fact, it's nothing, as long as the core technology of pigeon training is still in hand, don't leak it to the enemy, at least in the hundred years I lived, the flying pigeon biography still belongs to us. Even if it is exposed, it will be in vain if you don't get the cultivation and training methods of the pigeons!"

"But you just said that he would get his ......wish," Liang Wu asked suspiciously, "what does this mean?"

"The secret of passing the book to him is not the real core technology. Ning Ze said with a smile, "Let him think he has succeeded, and take care of Lu Cong." I'll write a fake training message and make some new arrangements. You let people be probed by him without a trace, even if it is a great achievement! Also, the people who contacted the Chamber of Commerce for me need their cooperation in some things. ”

"Whoa!"

Ning Ze really wrote a fake pigeon training technique, which seems to make sense, but it is actually plausible. Then make a slight change to the part where the pigeons are fed, adding the phrase "All food must be cooked with heavy salt".

The pigeon consumes too much salt, which can lead to poisoning and death. Ning Ze deliberately added such a sentence, telling them that the food for feeding the pigeons must be salted.

After arranging it here, I invited someone from the Chamber of Commerce to come over and secretly explain some things to the other party.

Zheng Yi didn't know what arrangements Ning Ze had made, and he was still using what he thought was a secret action to continue to listen to information about the transmission of intelligence and Ning Ze.

I spent about two weeks in Huajun, and I was in charge of handling simple official business, and there was no progress.

On this day, Liang Wu came to him and said that Ning Ze had an order to ask a strategist to help sort out the library, which was full of important documents and must be careful.

Pick and choose, choose Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi was overjoyed, Ning Ze's library was generally inaccessible, and there must be confidential documents inside, so he immediately followed Liang Wu to set off.

Liang Wu took the person to the library and said to him: "Mr. Zheng, the eldest brother trusts you very much, and entrusts such an important matter. I hope you live up to your trust and organize your library well. I still can't stay here, the keys are in hand, and you've got a whole day to do this. If the eldest brother is satisfied, maybe he will hand over the library to Mr. Yu to take care of in the future. ”

So Zheng Yi was left alone in the library.

It only took Zheng Yi half an hour to sort out the library, and he said in his heart that he had spent a whole day and seized the opportunity to investigate well. Anyway, the library is only by itself, and no one will bother.

Immediately, I checked the past documents and found that most of them were old official documents, recording all kinds of strange events and hidden cases in various counties of the Golden State. But it's useless, it seems that the recent important official documents have not appeared here, and they are probably piled up in the study of Princess Ningze's mansion. After all, he lives in the princess's mansion, and the Ning mansion has been idle.

After all, there are so many official documents, there are always ones that come in handy, Zheng Yi hastened to investigate.

It wasn't until noon that I was about to give up when I saw that it was all useless documents, when I suddenly found a new document hidden in it.

Hurry up and open it to check, and suddenly your eyes light up - the flying pigeon biography?

After reading the content carefully, I felt extremely shocked: "No wonder Ning Ze's forces transmitted information so quickly, it was actually a bird training to transmit a message......? It doesn't seem appropriate to steal it directly, anyway, there is a lot of time before dark, and there is not much content in the official document, so it should be possible to copy it. ”

There is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the library, and Zheng Yi carefully transcribes the contents and hides it in his arms.

The official document was returned to its place as it was, and then the stacks were locked and quickly returned to their temporary residence.

Before dinner, I quietly put a wooden board near the hotel, drew a few lines with charcoal, and then quickly went to the largest restaurant in the city, ordered a table of wine and food, and sat down to wait.

Located in a remote corner on the second floor, the quietest room by the window, drinking wine and looking at the pedestrians outside.

While I was waiting, I heard someone talking in the next room, and I vaguely heard the word pigeon.

Zheng Yi reacted immediately, got up and walked to the wall to eavesdrop.

The sound insulation of the walls is not very good, and the other party speaks very loudly, so that he can hear clearly.

It turned out that the members of two important chambers of commerce were discussing the rapid breeding of pigeons, and the people kept catching wild pigeons, and the official intelligence system of Huajun was saturated, so that there were not so many pigeons, and the cost of feed was countless every day, and the official request for funds was not agreed.

One of the members wanted to sell the pigeons to the outside world as a way to reduce the pressure and recoup the costs. The other persuaded him that now pigeons are an important resource under Ning Ze's hands, how can anyone outside want them? How can they be sold? And without Ning Ze's consent, it is illegal to sell pigeons in large quantities in private!

The one who asked to sell the pigeons refused to accept it, complaining that Ning Ze let them fund so many pigeons, and disregarded their interests. It doesn't matter if he breaks the law or not, as long as he is not known, he secretly sells a batch of pigeons in private to recover the cost, so that he can persevere.

The two members of the Chamber of Commerce debated one sentence at a time, and neither of them could convince anyone.

Zheng Yi was secretly happy in his heart, and his luck was really good!

It turns out that the pigeons are raised by members of the Chamber of Commerce, and they still think that they can catch wild pigeons for training and time-consuming and labor-intensive, if they can buy ready-made pigeons through the other party, wouldn't it be perfect?

At that time, there will be both pigeons and pigeon training skills, and soon they will be able to use flying pigeons to pass on books and form a powerful intelligence system.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to go directly to the two chamber members. Instead, after the other party left the hotel, he secretly stuffed some copper coins to the shopkeeper, inquired about the other party's identity and kept it in mind.

After waiting for a long time, a man who looked like a businessman finally appeared and came to Zheng Yi's room on the second floor accurately.

When the two met, Zheng Yi took out the information copied in his arms and handed it to the other party, and then explained a few words softly.

Then they had a few drinks together, went downstairs to pay the bills and left.

Zheng Yi still returned to his own residence, as usual.

That night, a new guest came to the merchant's house, who appeared in the restaurant and wanted to sell each to recover the cost, and talked with the host all night before leaving the next day.

On the second day, the merchant appeared in front of Ning Ze.

"Explain your affairs, how is it?" Ning Ze reviewed the official document and asked directly without raising his head.

"Yu Zhonglang," replied the merchant with a grin, "and the other party really took the bait, and wanted to tell me to secretly sell a large number of pigeons through the Chamber of Commerce." And it's as much as you want!"

"And how do you respond?"

"As you wish," replied the merchant, "the other party is a counterfeit merchant, and has other intentions, and has been defeated by my incorruptible tongue, and bought it for ten taels of silver per pigeon." A total of 100,000 pigeons, a total of 1 million silver, equivalent to 200,000 gold!"

"Ten taels of silver to buy a carrier pigeon?" Ning Ze looked up at the merchant, "Such an outrageous price, the other party actually agreed?"

"At first, I refused to agree," replied the merchant, "but I used all kinds of means to force the other party to agree, on the grounds that it was illegal to sell carrier pigeons, and most of them had been successfully trained, and the cost was more than ten taels. It's just that the other party wants to see the trained carrier pigeons......"

"Yes!" Ning Ze smiled, "I will arrange it secretly." ”

"But Ning Zhonglang, do you really want to sell carrier pigeons to the enemy?" the merchant asked worriedly.

"I just asked you to show each other the real carrier pigeons, I didn't say that the trained carrier pigeons were sold!"

"What do you mean ......"

"You do business, and there are a lot of shoddy cases, right?"

"Ning Zhonglang's words will wronged us!" said the merchant hurriedly, "The Chamber of Commerce is based on integrity......

"Okay, okay!" Ning Ze waved his hand to tell him not to continue, "In short, let them see the real carrier pigeons and relax their hearts, and then transfer the package and send the ordinary pigeons that have not been trained." ”

"The little one understands!" the merchant suddenly realized, "even if the other party's pigeons are in their hands, they cannot be used at all without breeding and training, which is equivalent to spending money to buy a bunch of waste! A full 200,000 gold, but the pigeons bought cannot be used...... However, the credibility of the Chamber of Commerce, and offending Lu Cong, I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Chizhou and Bozhou. ”

"When our army takes Lu Cong, the entire Chizhou and Bozhou markets will be at the mercy of the Chamber of Commerce!"

The merchant's eyes lit up: "With Ning Zhonglang's words, the little one can rest assured! Since this is the case, the little one will make a lot of money for Ning Zhonglang! As for the share you promised......

"There will be no disadvantage to the Chamber of Commerce. Ning Ze raised his head, "This time, the income will be divided into four or six accounts." ”

The Chamber of Commerce got forty percent, a total of 80,000 gold, which is a lot!
