Chapter 119: Hindsight
Ningbo Fucheng, Bei Wa Du commanded the envoy camp.
Lai Tiangong, the prefect of Ningbo, has invited Yu Dayou to enter the city to rest many times, but Yu Dayou politely refused.
"Tell Governor Lai that this official is here to defend against the Japanese and live outside the city to facilitate inspections. What's more, it is not convenient for this official to enter the city with his personal guards. ”
In the camp, in an inconspicuous tent, Zhanyu was vigilantly testing the food for poison. After seeing that the silver needle had not changed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Handing over the meal to the middle-aged couple and their little son, Zhanyu walked to the tent and looked out.
The middle-aged couple was no longer as frightened as they had been two days ago, and after their initial panic, anger and sadness became the strength that welled up in their hearts.
While eating, they whispered to their son and asked him to eat more.
Yu Dayou wandered around the various camps, chatting with his own soldiers from time to time, asking about the movements of the Japanese pirates he had heard in the past few days.
Without a trace, he walked to the tent of Zhanyu, and he didn't go in, but just spoke softly.
"Master's letter has arrived, and it was sent by the local brocade guard."
"Huh? Before I went out, Lord Xiao said, long live not to use the brocade guard! ”
"Master didn't ask Jin Yiwei to do anything related to this case, he just asked Jin Yiwei to use his own transportation channels to send a cage of carrier pigeons.
I searched one by one, and found this letter under the wings of one of the pigeons, so Jin Yiwei didn't know anything. ”
Zhanyu understands that carrier pigeons are used more in martial arts, but they are basically used between two points. It is very difficult to build a communication network in multiple places, and it requires huge financial resources and energy.
Only an organization like Jinyiwei can establish a national pigeon network. But the carrier pigeon sent over this time will definitely not be Jinyiwei's, that is what Xiao Feng spent money to buy.
"Master said that Wudang Mountain will send people to help, and you will follow me before the people from Wudang Mountain arrive. Although my official is not very big, no one dares to break into my camp. ”
This couple was not found by Zhanyu, no matter how anxious he was, he was just a person with two legs. And as Yuwang's guard, his goal is a bit big.
It was Zhang Tianci's guys who sold grain and sea fish in various places, with portraits hidden on their bodies, and in the list of fifty people circled by Xiao Feng, they were doing business while secretly visiting.
Some of them have already moved and will need to ask their neighbours to find a new address.
Fortunately, no one knew at that time that Xiao Feng would be suspicious of the recruitment of draft girls, so he did not startle the snake.
Zhanyu went to find Yu Dayou, who was inspecting Taizhou, in the name of sending a letter to Xiao Feng, and then lived in Yu Dayou's house.
A few days later, news came from Ningbo that the parents of the woman in the portrait had been found in Cixi County.
Their eldest daughter got married, and after the younger daughter was snatched away, they gave birth to another son and continued to live their lives.
They are like weeds, surviving on trampling. Everyone understands the pain of this grass people, but no one cares.
At that time, the Cixi County Commander has now been promoted to the prefect of Ningbo, and he will not bother to pay attention to them.
In the eyes of the prefect, they didn't dare to stop them at the beginning, they only dared to kneel on the ground and cry, after several years, will anything happen?
The guys at the grain store were afraid that they wouldn't be able to control the situation, so when they were excitedly stroking the picture and eagerly asking their daughter if she was doing in the palace, they only dared to perfunctory say that they didn't know, and someone who knew would come soon.
When Zhan Woo arrives to tell them that their daughter is dead, killed after being abused, the sparkle in their eyes disappears like the walking dead.
It took a long time to ask: "Did the emperor do it?" The tone was full of resignation.
Zhanyu shook his head, he understood the grass people's thoughts, no matter what the emperor did, they had no choice but to accept it.
"Your daughter didn't enter the palace at all, she was on the list of undrafted girls."
There was no expected heart-rending howl, only extremely suppressed pain, the woman fainted, and the little son cried and lay on his mother.
The man's blood-red eyes widened and he looked at Zhanyu: "Who is it?" Who snatched my daughter? I fought with him! ”
As long as the opponent is not the emperor, there is always a place to reason!
Zhanyu suddenly felt that in front of this couple, the ideals he had been working hard for were no different from them.
Xiao Feng's mocking eyes and mocking tone appeared in front of him: "You only have a success rate of one percent." ”
Those eyes are like seeing through this absurd world.
"If you can avenge your daughter, are you willing to follow me into the capital?"
Yan Shifan's hindsight in this matter is related to his consistent self-confidence.
He didn't believe that Xiao Feng could think that this woman was from thousands of miles away, and he didn't believe that Xiao Feng could guess the identity of this woman.
Although he admitted that Xiao Feng had some skill in measuring words, he had never looked down on this bit of Taoism.
Only Jiajing, the guy who wants to become an immortal and wants to go crazy, will be frightened by Xiao Feng's sideways.
Therefore, when he learned that Zhanyu was helping Xiao Feng run, he didn't care too much.
Zhanyu is Yuwang's person, although he was kicked out of Yuwang's mansion, but anyone with a discerning eye understands what is going on.
He ran for King Yu and helped Xiao Feng run, on the one hand, he was working for his master, and on the other hand, it was not King Yu who monitored Xiao Feng's movements to see if Xiao Feng would be unfavorable to him.
Jiajing didn't react to this matter, and should have been watching from the sidelines, to see if Xiao Feng could remain neutral and loyal to himself.
It's one thing for Xiao Feng to find out what the result is, but Jiajing will definitely ask Xiao Feng to be neutral. And once Xiao Feng's ass sits crookedly, Jiajing's trust in Xiao Feng will be gone.
Therefore, Yan Shifan was happy to see it, and even hoped that Xiao Feng could do something partial to King Yu under the influence of Zhanyu. The entire Yan Party is gearing up, just waiting for this opportunity.
Zhanyu's kung fu is not low, and it is difficult to track him, so Yan Shifan simply gave up tracking him and used his main forces to monitor Xiao Feng.
It wasn't until Yan Dang found the traces of Zhanyu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he went to see Yu Dayou, that Yan Shifan was suddenly shocked.
He still didn't think that Xiao Feng was acting purposefully, but he still immediately sent someone to the prefect of Ningbo and asked him to go and see the woman's family, but it was normal. If there are suspicious signs, find a name to arrest immediately.
Although Taizhou was still some distance from Ningbo, Yan Shifan still felt a trace of bad smell.
After receiving the news, the prefect of Ningbo didn't take it seriously at all, and secretly laughed at Yan Shifan for being a thief. However, he still sent someone to take a look, and he was drinking and having fun in the mansion with Xinna's concubine in his arms.
From Ningbo to Cixi, it takes more than half a day to go back and forth. It was difficult for his subordinates to go on a business trip, so they naturally had to go to the county office first, drink a meal, and then explain their intentions to the magistrate.
The current Cixi County Commander asked the "Shangcha" to rest and sent a servant to find the family. After a while, the official came back to report.
"My lord, the family of three is gone. The neighbor said that there were relatives who had become prosperous, and the whole family went to seek refuge with relatives. ”
The county order thinks that this is a normal thing, who is not a person who has attained the Tao in these years, and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven? It is difficult for no one to protect the green smoke from the ancestral grave, which relative became an official and made a fortune or something.
So he smiled and tried to persuade him to drink, but the "errand" was a little panicked.
Originally, like the prefect, he thought that this trip was just an errand. But at this time, there are already "suspicious signs", but there is no way to find a name to arrest them!
On the way back, his subordinates pulled the horse's butt away, rushed all the way back to the house, and reported the situation breathlessly.
With a bang, the wine glass fell to the ground, the prefect's face turned pale, and he muttered: "It should be, it should really go to relatives, there will be nothing, it will definitely not!" It's been three years, what else can happen? ”
Yan Shifan received a letter from the prefect, and after a string of sycophants in front, he mentioned the business lightly in the back.
"Tell your lord to rest assured, Nalan Nu's family has already moved away to join their relatives, leaving no clues of their whereabouts, and I don't think anyone will be able to find them."
Yan Shifan was furious: "Fart, what has already moved away, am I a fool?" This bastard! ”
But now, he still has to count on this bastard to help, so he groaned and calmed down.
"Rouge Leopard, you go to Ningbo, bring people and cameras.
Tell Lai Tiangong that no matter where that family goes, search me around Ningbo Mansion and dig three feet into the ground, and find out!
At the same time, we told the prefects of several nearby prefectures that most of them were our people.
Well, in the name of finding out the traitors, if there are disobedient people, they will be considered bandits! ”
