Chapter 326: Purge
The weather is getting colder, but the water surface in the south is not easy to freeze, next to the small river under Qixia Mountain, Gu Huai is taking Xu Miaojin to fish, occasionally the fishing rod is lifted but empty, which provokes a burst of laughter like silver bells from the little girl, Gu Huai is not annoyed, just hang the bait and shake the hook again, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
With Dongliangcai sitting in Jinling City, Gu Huai doesn't have to worry too much, although the spy war with Jinyiwei has entered a white-hot stage, but the more times like this, the more he can't be in a hurry, once exposed, not only is he in danger, even Xu Miaojin... You may never be able to leave Jinling again.
Of course, the loss of the secret spy department these days must be very distressing, one by one intelligence stations were destroyed, one after another spies lurking in Jinling were found and then committed suicide, although it did succeed in bringing turmoil among the people, and also met some of Gu Huai's expectations, but the harvest and pay, it seems that it is so disproportionate.
It's no wonder that Wei Laosan and Wang Er, who were squatting under the tree on the side, had generally ugly faces.
This time to the south, Gu Huai brought a lot of spies, but he didn't go with them, and the two guards Wei Laosan and Wang Er brought with him, these days, most of the two of them are doing dirty work in Jinling City, such as sending some desperate spies on the road, such a thing is really uncomfortable for the two soldiers, compared to killing their own people, killing the enemy is what they are willing to do.
Thinking of the spy I saw in the secret spy department, the spy called "Spring Equinox", Gu Huai's eyes were a little gloomy, the soldier who put life and death aside at the beginning, just stayed in the flower world of Jinling for a year, and inevitably went to the degenerate, that... What about the others?
Gu Huai is only the chief officer of the Secret Spy Division, and he can't completely control other people's thoughts, how many people in the Secret Spy Department are floating in their minds, and even have completely different thoughts than when they were lurking?
It's really sad.
Under the tree in the distance, Wei Laosan looked at the two figures of one big and one small fishing, pulled out the roots of grass and bit them in his mouth, frowned and asked Wang Er on the side: "My lord... What exactly do you want to do? ”
With Gu Huai's enlightenment, the relationship between the two is now much better, but Wei Laosan's question is destined to have no answer, Wang Er, who was not a spy in the first place, just acted according to Gu Huai's orders, where would he think as much as Wei Laosan, he just shook his head: "Where do I know where to go?" ”
"You said that there were so many spies dead in Jinling City, and the Jinyi Guard had made a lot of money, and many buried hidden lines had been dug up, how could the chief officer still laugh? Every day is to distribute leaflets, and the common people don't eat this set anymore, and they still blow that Sheng Yong..."
Wei Laosan paused: "To be honest, if I want to blow it, I can't move this mouth, the prince is really strong when he fights, what kind of thing is Sheng Yong, and he dares to compare with the prince?" ”
Wang Er nodded: "I admit this, the chief officer fights fiercer than him, you don't know, before on the grassland..."
Isn't this just which pot is not opened? Wei Laosan has been angry that Gu Huai didn't take him into the grassland, and seeing that Wang Er was going to mention this matter, he slapped him: "Lord Chief's battle, are you proud of your fart?" ”
Wang Er touched his head and suddenly said, "Do you think that Lord Commander just wants to muddy the waters of Jinling?" ”
Wei Laosan was stunned: "What's the use?" In the end, it wasn't Jinyiwei who picked up the cheap? Now I can see that they are arresting people at every turn, but before that, where were they so arrogant? ”
He sighed: "I went to see those spies, many of them complained, there are a lot of people who have died these days, and I don't know when it will be a head..."
As they spoke, a figure walked up to them, thoughtful: "Complaints? ”
Seeing Gu Huai coming, Wei Laosan and Wang Er hurriedly stood up, Gu Huai asked Wei Laosan to continue talking about the topic just now, and learned that many spies are now dissatisfied with these actions of the day, but there was no anger on his face, but he nodded: "That's right, it's almost time, and if you press it down, it will only backfire." ”
"What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing," Gu Huai shook his head, "It's time to see them." ”
He looked in the direction of Jinling: "Get ready, let's take a trip to Jinling." ”
……
Seeing those spies lurking in Jinling again, Gu Huai's mood is very complicated, this year, he is not the only one who has changed, these spies have also changed their appearance.
Some people have become rich people, some people have become low-level husbands after being exposed to the wind and sun, some people run small shops and watch the suffering of all beings, and some people have become names that have been crossed out from the roster.
Obviously, the return of the chief officer of the secret spy department to Jinling has a great effect on the morale of the spies, at least when Gu Huai went to see them one by one, they calmed down a lot about the various actions over the past few days, of course, some people questioned Gu Huai's practices, but Gu Huai did not explain, just took a deep look at the spy, and then continued to see the next one.
I have been living with Xu Miaojin at the foot of Qixia Mountain before, because I want to ensure Xu Miaojin's safety, and at the same time, I am also waiting for something, and now it seems that this wait is very worthwhile.
That night, when he returned to Qixia Mountain and stood expressionless under the night, Wei Laosan rushed to tell the news.
So Gu Huai went to the tea shop outside the city again and sat opposite the stunning.
He took the tea handed over by the stunned stinger, but he didn't drink it, just looked at him quietly: "It turned out to be you." ”
"Why do you want to betray the prince?"
……
"When you arrived, there was no one?"
In the small courtyard of Jinyiwei, Pei Xi was silent for a moment, and laughed softly: "That's fake news." ”
Gu Huai really came to Jinling... Although he had guessed some a long time ago, Pei Xi was still very happy when he really confirmed the news.
How can you not be happy to see that the person you have cultivated with your own hands can now take charge of themselves, and this person may still take over the torch in his hand?
One year is enough time for Jinyiwei to rebel against a few people in the secret spy department, you must know that when Ji Gang was still in Jinyiwei before, Pei Xi had been watching the secret spy division in silence and quiet in this small courtyard.
How could he not do anything at all?
But the hand must not be too big, because if it is big, it will easily cause alarm.
A thousand households frowned: "My lord, why did that person spread false news?" Doesn't he know that only we can give him a way to live? ”
Pei Xi restrained his smile: "What if even he doesn't know that it's fake news?" ”
Everyone was shocked, and Pei Xi continued: "That chief officer, that is, Gu Huai, what if everyone can find him in a different place?" Just keep an eye on those places, where you show up, and it's easy to know who's wrong. ”
He took a sip of tea: "... Of course, all the places are fake, and there is no point in looking at them now, and there is no need to look for those chess pieces again, Gu Huai... It should have been cleaned up. ”
So you can figure it out... The inexplicable actions of the secret spy division over the past few days, those seemingly meaningless behaviors, are they all for today?
used to say that Gu Huaixin was not ruthless enough, but he was wrong, but now it seems that at least he is ruthless enough to his own people.
Jinyi Wei is powerful, and the secret spy department can only survive, and after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be complaints, and as soon as people's hearts fluctuate, it is time to close the net.
Maybe Gu Huai didn't fully trust Jinyiwei from the beginning? That's why such an independent intelligence network was created, so that Jinyiwei held a few chess pieces, but there was no way to wipe out the secret spy division.
Pei Xi's eyes were full of appreciation, Jinling was too far away for King Yan, and too far away for Gu Huai, no one could guarantee that others would always be loyal to him, so the best thing to do was not to trust anyone from the beginning.
From the very beginning, he had the intention of cleaning the inside.
Not to mention those chess pieces, maybe the intelligence line where those chess pieces are located will be completely cleaned by Gu Huai? It's just that in this way, how many manpower does Gu Huai still have? Most of the Jinyi guards have gone out of Beijing to inspect the place, but the current Jinyi Guard Yamen is still not something that the secret spy department can compete with, so many people have died, what will they do next to pass information to King Yan?
This means of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred... I saw it fiercely, but it didn't last long.
After appreciating it, it is inevitable to be disappointed, this disappointment is not because he didn't catch Gu Huai, but because Gu Huai still failed to become what he wanted him to become.
Pei Xi put down the teacup, waved his hand, and a few brocade clothes retreated, leaving him alone in the small courtyard.
With the appearance of Gu Huai, probably the grievances between Jinyiwei and the secret spy department these days are about to come to an end, and now it seems that Gu Huai's plan really just wants to clean up, and in this process, Jinyiwei is the one who profits, and now he is not only standing on the court again, but also stretching out his hand to many officials, as long as the secret spy department dares to make a move, Jinyiwei will repeat the bloody storm of the Hongwu period.
Gu Huai, you lost after all, how can you break the game now?
Looking at the bright moon in the night, Pei Xi thought lightly.
