Chapter 17: Stalking (Revised)

What kind of charter a group of people discussed, Begonia didn't know.

The reef looks quite excited, and it actively goes out every day, leaving early and returning late. This time, Haixi Cliff and Xie Wenzai didn't stop him, and when Ma complained, they would also help Haijiao defend him. However, they are not worried about letting Haijiao go on an adventure alone, so there are people who accompany him every day, sometimes it is the second uncle Hai Chang'an, sometimes it is Cui Dazhuang, the son of Cui Bo, they are all young and strong men, who know a little martial arts, and can protect the reef one or two.

Haijiao pretended to help his family inquire about the price of goods in the Western Regions every day, as if Haixiya was interested in returning to his hometown, so he planned to sell the goods he brought out of Guazhou to make up a circle. He also talked to people he knew when he was a child from time to time, asking them to help inquire about the market, which seemed to be even more true. The businessman of Naguazhou was not suspicious at all, but repeatedly regretted that he could not coax the child with the lowest price, for fear that someone else would take advantage of this big advantage, so he also made up every day and continued to coax people with a slightly higher price. The reef looked unreasonable to him, and he was even less suspicious.

This Guazhou businessman is estimated to be a genuine businessman, but he is only a spy part-time, and his business is still doing well. Unlike the businessman surnamed Sun, spies are his main business, although he is a businessman, in fact, he has never done a serious business at all.

The latter originally wanted to discuss with the former, but when he saw that he was only thinking about making money by doing business all day long, he gave himself the most difficult task, and he couldn't help but be annoyed. However, this is the task assigned by the third prince, if he doesn't do it well, I'm afraid his daughter's life in front of the third prince will not be easy. The merchant surnamed Sun had to curse his accomplices fiercely, while trying to find a way to carry out the tasks assigned by the third prince, and all the grievances against his accomplices were pinned on him after the matter was completed, and he would sue the third prince again.

So the merchant, surnamed Sun, began to find a way to get close to the well used by the garrison in the city.

Haitang didn't know what Haijiao was busy doing outside every day, but two days later, he went home a little earlier, and when he got home, he still had some free time, so she seized the opportunity to entangle him to avoid others from asking for news.

The reef is in front of his little sister, and he doesn't plan to hide anything. Even such a strange thing as rebirth, he told his little sister, let alone something else? Besides, he didn't discuss it with his little sister about catching spies. I didn't say it before, just because it was late when he came home every day, and the little sister had already been urged to sleep by his grandmother Ma, so he couldn't go to the main room to talk to the little sister about this kind of topic in front of his grandmother.

Therefore, as soon as Haitang came to the East Chamber to inquire, he closed the door and told her the truth.

They had stabilized the merchants of Naguazhou, and inquired about where this person came from, what the origin of the people in the caravan was, who they were close to on weekdays, and who they often dealt with in Suzhou City. General Gu had already found a few suspicious people among these people, and suspected that they were all ears and eyes or spies secretly planted by the Hu people, so he hurriedly sent someone to keep an eye on them.

In addition, they also found that there was some discord between the Guazhou businessman and the accomplice of the businessman surnamed Sun, although both of them seemed to be working for the third prince of the Hu people, but in fact they were not of the same mind. The former seems to be closer to the third prince's wife, only responsible for passing the word, not intending to get involved in the action, and is happy to see the latter fail; And the latter, as the father of the third prince's concubine, knew that Suzhou Wei was very close to the water source, and if he really wanted to start, there was a great possibility of failure, so he didn't dare to make a move, hoping that the former could cooperate with the action. The latter looks down on the former, and the former thinks that the latter is unwilling to contribute, afraid of taking risks. The two men each had their own little calculations, so that the task progressed slowly.

On the day when the city of Suzhou was broken in the previous life, there was no trace of the Hu army, which made people wonder if they were still waiting for the news from the spies.

Haijiao looked like a sigh of relief: "If this continues, as long as Suzhou is well guarded, and the spies don't have a chance to take advantage of it, maybe the Hu army will never appear!" ”

Haitang is not as optimistic as him: "Isn't the third prince still waiting to make a great achievement, so that he can compete with the little prince for the sweat position?" The old Khan kings of the Hu people are about to die, how long can the third prince wait? Even if the spies in the city fail to succeed for a long time, he may not be able to discourage the idea of attacking the city. ”

When Haijiao heard this, he suddenly became serious: "Little sister is right this time. In case he dispelled the idea of attacking Suzhou and instead attacked other cities, it would also be a huge loss for Da Chu. I'd rather he continue to attack Suzhou, at least the Suzhou guards have already taken precautions, and they will definitely let him come and go! ”

Another day passed, and Liu Keren came to the door to bring the latest news.

A suspicious person was caught in the barracks, and it seemed that he wanted to manipulate the well, and he was caught. The man bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot, without giving an explanation, but the reason why he was able to approach the well was because he followed the path of the soldier in charge of guarding the well. After the soldier was caught, he claimed that he was coerced by General Sun Yonglu's henchmen to do so, and pointed directly at the merchant surnamed Sun.

Just when General Gu and others ordered the arrest of the businessman surnamed Sun on Wednesday, the person in charge of keeping an eye found out that the other party had asked the attendants around him to act as stand-ins to cover up people's eyes, and he had actually gone to Guancheng with the servants of the Sun family and the troupe invited by the Sun family, saying that he was sending opera wine to General Sun Yonglu to celebrate General Sun's birthday.

Liu Keren is very anxious about this. He said to Haixi Cliff, Xie Wenzai, Cao and Lu: "Could it be that our people showed their tracks, so that the merchant found that someone was staring at him, so he took the opportunity to break off the shell of the golden cicada?" If he really escapes, will the Hu army attack the city next? He stomped his foot excitedly, "I don't know which kid showed his stuff when he was staring, and it made him defensive, damn it!" ”

Xie Wenzai hurriedly reassured him: "Brother Liu, don't worry, the matter may not have reached such a serious point." Perhaps the businessman surnamed Sun would not have thought that his identity as a spy had been exposed, but he would suspect that this was the generals secretly spying on him, so as to find Sun Yonglu's handle! ”

Liu Keren was stunned, and then calmed down: "You're right. Sun Yonglu stares at others on weekdays. If this businessman surnamed Sun had come to him to complain, he would have felt that we were doing the same thing to him. It so happened that the merchant had used his name to buy the soldiers, and if he didn't know the inside story, he felt more and more that we were framing. ”

Sun Yonglu was in Guancheng, but he left a few henchmen and businessmen surnamed Sun to keep an eye on the "Hu people and spies" in Suzhou City, and at the same time continued to keep an eye on the generals and Liu Keren and other officials. The person who tracked down the door of the Hai family two days ago is the best example. General Wednesday and they are now eyeing the businessman surnamed Sun, saying that the latter is a spy, and in Sun Yonglu's opinion, it is really possible to think that General Wednesday is taking revenge on him.

If the generals take the opportunity to fight with Sun Yonglu again, they may be able to take the opportunity to lure people back from Guancheng, so that he will continue to get in the way there.

Although Jiayuguan Guancheng has a special stage, the troupe will be invited to perform several times a year, but it is basically during a fixed festival. On the birthday of a temporary guard, I specially looked for a troupe to celebrate his birthday, this is the first time!

Liu Keren's mind was racing, and he had already thought of several reasons that could be used for Samson Yonglu. When the identity of the businessman surnamed Sun is revealed, Sun Yonglu can add another crime. He didn't believe that this guy would be able to stay at the border with a cheeky face when the time came!

Liu Keren made up his mind, so he got up directly and said goodbye: "I'll go and discuss with General Gu and them, and send someone to Guancheng to inquire about what that spy told Sun Yonglu." If Sun Yonglu is dizzy and at the mercy of that spy, I will make it difficult for him to turn over this time! ”
