Fenghou

At this time, a subordinate said at the door: "Just now Liu Sima of Jingzhao Mansion sent someone to urge the report, let us send it over quickly."

Xianyang's [-] militia soldiers are managed by the county captain Yao Kaishan. They have to write a militia report every month, and they are ready to write, but Yao Kaishan has been very annoyed these two days and has no time to send it.

It was due the day before yesterday, no wonder the Jingzhao Mansion urged, "Get me a carriage, I'll go to the capital!"

Yao Kaishan took the documents and went to the capital in a carriage. Xianyang County is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture. Although Yao Kaishan's boss is the county magistrate, he also has to report to Sima of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Jingzhao Mansion is located in Wannian County, the carriage stopped slowly in front of the steps, Yao Kaishan got off the carriage, and told the driver: "Wait for me for a while, I will come out right away!"

Yao Kaishan would come to Jingzhao Mansion every month. He was already familiar with the road. He walked all the way to the backyard and came to the door of Sima Liu Jiang's official room. The little tea boy said at the door: "Sima invites you in!"

Yao Kaishan quickly walked into the official room, only to see a tall man standing in the room, looking at him with a half-smile, this is not Sima Liu Jiang.

Yao Kaishan felt something was wrong, turned around and left, the door was already closed, and two burly men leaned against the door with their arms folded on their chests, looking at him coldly.

"Who are you and what are you going to do?"

The man said indifferently: "Xia Zhonghuan, the chief of the internal guards, you know better than anyone else what you are looking for!"

Yao Kaishan's eyes darkened, and the thing he feared the most had finally happened. He quickly calmed down and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about? I'm an official of the imperial court, you can't doubt me like this!"

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I'll cut to the chase. I want to know where there are other intelligence points in Korea besides Gong County. You just need to explain this clearly, and I can keep your son safe. If you don't tell me, wait until we collect After the netting of Pei Qiushan, you will be beheaded by the whole family, and both sons will be beheaded together, and your descendants will be cut off."

Yao Kaishan couldn't stand anymore, leaned against the wall and sat down, his eyes were full of despair.

"It seems that you are toasting and not eating fine wine. Let me tell you, now is your last chance. If you can't stand the beating and you are forced to confess, the whole family will be beheaded. Take it down!"

Two big men stepped forward to pick up Yao Kaishan and left, Yao Kaishan shouted in fright, "Let me tell you, there are three more places, one is in Pingzhou on Yanshan Road, one is in Luoyang, and the other is in Penglai County."

Zhong Huan asked: "Do you know the exact address? This is your last chance. Tell me, and your two sons will live."

"Although I don't know, I know who the leader is and where is he? The leader knows everything."

"Who is the leader and where is it?"

"The leader is my mentor Li Suanzi. He is now a professor at Luoyang Official School, and his pseudonym is Li Zhen. There are five people around him who are responsible for long-term intelligence collection. I am the intelligence director of Jingzhao. There are three people around him who are responsible for collecting Jingzhao's information."

This was beyond Zhong Huan's expectation. He suddenly realized that his judgment was wrong. Goryeo actually had two lines in the Yong Dynasty, one was the information line and the other was the task line.

Gong County belongs to the task line, and he ignored the intelligence line.

Zhong Huan grabbed his lapel and said: "You tell me everything honestly, and I will report to the emperor and spare you!"

Yao Kaishan nodded, "I said, I can say anything!"

……

An hour later, Zhong Huan came to the imperial study to report the latest situation to the emperor.

Chen Qing is also very concerned about Goryeo's intelligence agencies. He is about to use troops against Goryeo. Before using troops, he must completely pull out Goryeo's intelligence network.

"How did they pass the information to Korea?" Chen Qing asked.

"From Penglai County to Koryo with eagle letters, they also transported various materials to Korea from Penglai County through trading ships."

Chen Qing nodded, "Then close the net, and you must catch the intelligence chiefs in Luoyang. I will give you two months to wipe out all the Korean spies in the territory of the Yong Dynasty, leaving no trace of evil!"

"Wei Chen obeys!"

That night, the inner guards began to collect the net.

The first thousand and 560 chapters and seven closing the net

At night, [-] inner guard soldiers surrounded the farm compound outside the west city. The farm compound was mainly a large front and back yard, but there were not many houses, only seven or eight rooms.

Pei Qiushan and ten of his subordinates are hiding here, and their carriage is still parked in the yard. According to the plan, if Yao Kaishan fails to give clues to complete the mission at noon tomorrow, they will temporarily retreat to Luoyang.

First hide for two or three months, and when the limelight passes, they will come back and find a way.

The subordinates are packing up their things. They have a lot of items to pack up, including many important resources collected by Yao Kaishan in the past few years.

For example, the formula and production method of Feilong Baoming Dan and Jinchuang Hemostatic Cream, as well as a box of raw materials and finished products, as well as the production technology of copper movable type, the production formula and technology of high-quality rice paper, and refined iron smelting technology, such as It would take five to ten years to figure out this kind of refined iron smelting technology just by looking at the data. They couldn't wait so long, that's why they wanted to catch Huang Qing.

There is also the production technology of heavy-duty trebuchets, which Yao Kaishan spent a lot of effort to get. Goryeo also has trebuchets, but the range is not enough.

There are also the production technology and samples of the god arm crossbow.

The Goryeo people have a strong sense of crisis and are eager to learn. Even if they can't learn, they will do everything possible to steal it, but they refuse to admit it after stealing it. They insist that it is their own invention and creation, and the whole nation is extremely despicable.

At this time, there was a scream outside, and Pei Qiushan was startled. It was the scream of a sentinel, and he immediately realized that something had happened.

"There is a situation, quickly get the weapon!"

Before the words were finished, a storm of arrows shot into the room, and five of the nine subordinates pierced their bodies with random arrows and died on the spot.

Pei Qiushan roared, drew his knife and rushed to the backyard, "Follow me!"

The four subordinates also drew their swords and followed behind. As soon as they rushed into the yard, they were immediately surrounded by dozens of internal guards. They only resisted a few times before being pierced by spears and fell to the ground. They were all tied up.

Pei Qiushan yelled like a wild animal, struggled desperately, was hit on the back of the head by a soldier of the inner guard, and immediately passed out.

Several survivors were taken away by the internal guards, and the internal guards began to search the room thoroughly...

A three-thousand stone cargo ship arrived in Huayin County. Xu Cheng was already very skilled on the big ship. He was a boatman. He knew how to cook, so he took the initiative to undertake the job of cooking. He could keep in touch with several Korean warriors. But he still couldn't get in touch with Huang Qing's family.

The three members of Huang Qing's family were locked up on the second floor of the ship, and five warriors took turns guarding them. The leader was a female warrior. Several warriors also knew Huang Qing's importance, and they did not mistreat their family of three.

When the ship arrived in Huayin County, it needed to replenish fresh water and food. According to the previous plan, they were going to follow the ship to Gong County to find their old nest.

Of course, Huayin County is also an opportunity to arrest the five Koryo warriors, and then force the Koryo warriors to take them to Gong County, but this is easy to scare the snake.

But now that the plan has changed and Jingzhao has already started, then this side cannot be delayed.

According to Yao Kaishan's confession, among the five Koryo warriors, there is a woman named Bai Chunshan. This woman is Pei Qiushan's deputy. She was the one who took the iron fire thunder to Koryo. Only she knows the exact location of the Gongxian transit station. .

The [-]-stone ship slowly approached the shore, and immediately there were merchants who specialized in replenishing water and food to meet them. There was no need for them to disembark. Several Korean warriors were also very vigilant and did not allow the boatman to disembark.

At this time, a small boat passed by the big boat, and a paper ball wrapped in stone was still under Xu Cheng's feet.

Xu Cheng opened the note and looked at it, then put the note in his mouth and swallowed it.

He looked around and saw several three-thousand-stone cargo ships scattered around them. They seemed to come to replenish water and food, but in fact they had already surrounded the big ship he was in.

He has two tasks, one is to capture the female warrior alive, and the other is to protect Huang Qing's family of three.

It will be lunch time soon, Xu Cheng broke the stone wrapped in paper and put it into the soup pot. It is not an ordinary stone, it is a powerful drug specially used by inner guards, it is colorless and tasteless, and it is put in the soup and tea good results.

These Korean warriors liked the pork rib meat sauce soup he made very much, and asked him to make it every day. After a while, he sent lunch into the cabin, and the four Korean warriors came in to eat while talking and laughing.

The female warrior guarded Huang Qing's family of three alone on the second floor.

Xu Cheng rolled up from the side, and through the gap he could see the situation inside the cabin. The three members of Huang Qing's family had their hands tied behind their backs and their mouths were blocked with rags.

The female warrior was sitting on the chair in front of the door, looking at the family of three indifferently.

Xu Cheng quickly turned to the door, pulled out the thick wooden stick behind him, and waited patiently.

For a moment, in the cabin downstairs, there was a 'crash! 'There was a loud bang, the sound of dishes falling to the ground.

The woman in the room stood up abruptly, opened the door and came out, shouting, "What's going on downstairs..."

Suddenly, her legs gave way and she fell limply on the stairs. Xu Cheng appeared behind her, sneered, threw away the stick, dragged her into the cabin, tied her hands and feet behind her back, and gagged her.

The eyes of the family of three in the cabin widened, Xu Cheng tore off the rags from their mouths, Huang Qing asked anxiously, "Who is the strong man?"

Xu Cheng smiled slightly, "I am Xu Cheng, commander of the inner guard!"

Huang Qing grinned, and tears welled up. Xu Cheng cut the ropes on the hands and feet of the family of three, and the family of three hugged their heads and cried.

Xu Cheng covered the woman's head with a black bag, walked out of the cabin and waved vigorously to the surrounding ships. Immediately, a large group of inner guard soldiers rushed to the ship, and the boatmen squatted down in fright.

Xu Cheng quickly shouted: "Don't hurt them!"

In the cabin, four Koryo warriors fell to the ground, unconscious, with dishes all over the floor.

The inner guard soldiers immediately stepped forward to tie up the four of them. At this time, Xu Cheng grabbed the female warrior and walked down the stairs. He handed the female warrior to the soldiers, "Immediately take the female warrior to interrogation, we must rush to Gong County as soon as possible! "

……

Three days later, Xu Cheng personally led dozens of inner guard soldiers to Gongxian County. Just outside the county seat, an inner guard soldier who came to investigate a day earlier came forward and reported: "Commander, we have found the other party. The lair is a house next to the city gate, and the gate is locked!"

"Is anyone coming in or out?"

"No one came in or out, but there were people living inside. Neighbors said that they saw smoke from cooking in the morning, and two other brothers were watching the front and back doors."

Xu Cheng asked again: "How big is the house?"

"About three acres!"

Xu Cheng nodded, "Go check it out tonight!"

According to the account of the female warrior Bai Chunshan, there should be five people living in the yard, three Korean warriors, and a middle-aged couple in their 50s.

As long as they waited for Huang Qing's family to arrive, they immediately set off for Penglai County, and boarded a boat from Penglai County to Korea.

As soon as night fell, more than [-] internal guard soldiers surrounded the three-acre house, and a master internal guard was on the roof to check the situation inside the house.

After a while, the inspecting soldiers came back to report and found that there were indeed five people in the house. A middle-aged couple lived in the backyard, and three warriors lived in the front yard. No coercion was seen, and the middle-aged couple lived freely.

The middle-aged couple's bottom line internal guards have been found. The man's surname is Ding, from Bashu, who is good at finding copper and iron ore, but he is not an official craftsman. He was looking for ore for businessmen in Bashu, and found several small iron mines. fame.

Goryeo invited him to go to Goryeo to look for iron ore at a high price of [-] guan per month. This is understandable. He is a folk prospector, and the Yong Dynasty did not declare war on Goryeo. It is reasonable and legal for him to want Goryeo to make money, but now they have There is no chance.

With a wave of Xu Cheng's hand, more than [-] inner guard soldiers climbed over the high wall and rushed into the house.

The first thousand and 560 eight chapters double-sided

The key to the network collection operation is Luoyang. Their target is Li Zhen, a professor of government studies in Henan Province. Zhong Huan personally led the team to Luoyang, and Xu Cheng also came from Gong County to join him.

Before setting off, Zhong Huan specifically consulted the information of the Imperial College, and found the file of Li Zhen. According to the file records, this Li Zhen is from Luoyang. He has been teaching in Jeju for a long time. He is the chief professor of Jeju government schools. He misses his homeland and returns to his roots. Give to Henan Fufu School and become an external professor of Fu Xue, that is, a professor without an official position.

But there are no other supporting materials in the file, only a resume, and it is for this reason that the government school cannot let him be a full-time professor, but can only let him be an external professor.

According to Yao Kaishan's account, this Li Zhen was the intelligence chief of Korea during the Song and Yong dynasties. He stayed in Jeju for nearly 20 years and sent a lot of information to Korea. He has five capable men in Luoyang, all of whom are him. Among the students, there are Koreans and Han Chinese, and Li Zhen has a lot of connections in the Yong Dynasty.

Needless to say, he has a close relationship with Yan Wenhui, the governor of Jeju. After arriving in Luoyang four years ago, he also had a close relationship with Su Lin, the governor of Henan Province at that time. Appointing Yao Kaishan, who has just been admitted as a Jinshi, as a county magistrate in Xianyang County, this is a fat post that is difficult for ordinary Jinshi to get. Only the top ten Jinshi can have such an opportunity, but Yao Kaishan's Jinshi is ranked outside the seventy.

Yao Kaishan also told Zhong Huan that this Li Zhen wrote many articles in the Beijing News under the pseudonym of Bianliang Aisheng, propagating the cruelty of the Jurchens, advocating revenge, and exterminating the Jurchens, Khitans, and other alien races in Liaodong.

In terms of national sentiment, many people support Li Chen's theory of extinction, but Li Chen's advocacy of exterminating the alien race in Liaodong has impure motives. He hopes that there will be an uninhabited Liaodong, and then the Koreans will take the opportunity to fill this regional emptiness. Occupy Liaodong.

In the morning, Zhong Huan led more than [-] inner guard cavalry into Luoyang.

The inner guard has an official residence covering an area of ​​three acres in Luoyang. There is a branch of the inner guard stationed here, with about ten people. The inner guard has branches in all important cities, but their duty is not to arrest the enemy. Instead, he changed his function to monitor and investigate illegal salt, alcohol and money in Henan Road.

The world is unified, the economy is extremely active, and various economic crimes are also active. Illegal salt and wine are the most, and then there are fake silver coins, which are imitated by Yunnan white copper. The number of listings is getting larger and larger, and it is becoming more and more popular, but it is easy to be neglected.

Zhong Huan led his men to rent an inn opposite the official residence. According to Yao Kaishan's account, Li Zhen has two residences, one is his residence, and the other is a school, which is actually an intelligence agency, where a large amount of information is stored. In school.

We must arrest him when he goes to the government school to attend class, and the five subordinates must also concentrate on arresting him, so that no one can escape. The key is that Yao Kaishan only knows about Li Zhen's home, but not where the school is?

So they have to be patient and not rush things.

……

Li Zhennian is about 60 years old, and he looks like a fairy. His real name is Jiezhen, and his character is operator. He is a descendant of the Jie family of the nine major families in Baekje. He was sent by Goryeo to the Central Plains to collect intelligence, and was renamed Li Zhen again.

He is currently teaching etiquette courses at the Luoyang Official School and has been hired as a professor.

In the morning, as usual, he took a bullock cart to the School of Dispelling Puzzles and Seeking Truth. It is located on Songshan Street in Luoyang City, very close to the school. Li Zhen entered the school and went directly to the backyard. Five of his subordinates are also teachers of this school. , Using teaching as a cover to collect intelligence everywhere.

"Did the news from Jingzhao come?" Li Zhen asked as soon as he entered the room.

One of his subordinates shook his head, "There is no news yet!"

Li Zhen frowned, what happened to Yao Kaishan?Is it so difficult to obtain ship information in the Yong Dynasty?

Another subordinate said: "Master, I heard that Pei Qiushan has acquired a famous smelter and is transferring his luck. Is it because of this incident that the court has raised its vigilance, so Brother Yao can't do anything?"

Li Zhen thought about it, and there is really such a possibility!

He casually picked up a compiled intelligence collection and said, "Is this copied for me?"

"Exactly!"

"Okay, I'll take it back and take a closer look, you guys continue!"

Li Chen put the collection of information in his arms, turned around and left, he sat on the bullock cart and walked slowly, he glanced behind him, an old woman in a turban followed him far away on a thin little donkey, with her back on her back A sachet with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on the chest, it looks like a devout believer who went to a Buddhist temple to burn incense.

Li Zhen didn't take this old woman seriously, because there are too many old people in Luoyang who worship Buddha.

One mile away from Fuxue, the ox cart stopped, and Li Zhen got out of the car and entered an alley, which was very short, and there was only one family in it. Li Zhen knocked on the door and entered in a flash.

After about a stick of incense, Li Zhen came out of the alley again, got on the bullock cart, and went to Fuxue in a leisurely manner.
