Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Upon hearing Chen Baosheng's request, Manager Wei nodded without any surprise and said:

"Even if Mr. Chen doesn't say anything about some minor matters, I will still ask someone to give orders."

"My lord, you might as well tell me if there is anything else you need."

Manager Wei still looked at Chen Baosheng with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of refuting him, Chen Baosheng suddenly calmed down and began to think formally.

Seeing that the other party was thinking, Manager Wei did not urge him, but just stood aside and watched silently.

After a while, Chen Baosheng spoke again:

"Master Wei, after my deep thought, I feel that you, the traitor, have only three options now."

"One is to break up the people under your control into parts, disperse them, and then meet them somewhere."

"Considering that they are new to our country and are not very familiar with the surrounding environment, there is a high probability that this route can be eliminated."

"The second is that the other party is likely to use the official seal stolen from the lower official to issue a new household registration and find other places to settle."

"Therefore, I implore you, your Excellency, to send patrols to nearby counties to strictly investigate people who have migrated recently, especially those who have migrated to Ruyang County, and they are the focus of investigation to prevent them from getting mixed up among them."

"Of course, in order not to alert the enemy, I still suggest that this matter should be checked slowly and not be rushed and let the other party find another way."

After hearing the two suggestions made by Chen Baosheng, Manager Wei was noncommittal. He felt that the other party's abilities were just that, and he didn't know why he was valued by Her Majesty the Empress.

Seeing Manager Wei's lack of interest, Chen Baosheng also felt miserable.

He actually had a better way to find Chu Mo and his party, but he couldn't use it.

For no other reason than that he didn't want Chu Mo to be caught by Her Majesty the Empress.

If Chu Mo is caught by Her Majesty the Empress, then his previous lies will definitely be exposed.

Once the lie was exposed by Chu Mo, he would definitely be free of the crime of deceiving the emperor.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you dare to deceive the emperor, you will definitely have to confiscate your family and exterminate your clan.

What's more, he not only deceived the emperor, but also concealed the affairs of General Lin Wan.

If all of these are exposed in the end, it will be His Majesty's mercy if he does not wipe out more than three tribes.

Therefore, on the surface, it is impossible for Chen Baosheng to try his best to find Chu Mo, nor can he do his best.

What he can do now is either to pray that Chu Mo will never be found, or to find him first before everyone else, and then kill him and silence him.

But now that he has been personally appointed by Her Majesty the Empress to be the executor of this matter, he cannot do nothing or achieve nothing.

Thinking of this, Chen Baosheng gritted his teeth and looked at Mr. Wei:

"Master Wei, my third suggestion is that Chu Mo and the others are likely to take his people back to the Tang Dynasty because of their whereabouts being exposed this time."

"If we set up layers of checkpoints on the only way to the Tang Dynasty, maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

After hearing Chen Baosheng's third suggestion, Manager Wei raised his eyelids, still looking disapproving:

"The traitor traveled thousands of miles from the Tang Dynasty to sneak into our country, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now nothing has been done. How could he withdraw in such a dejected manner?"

"In my opinion, he will never leave the Zhou Dynasty and return to the Tang Dynasty in a short time. If he has that spare time, he might as well spend those manpower and material resources on searching the surrounding area."

After saying that, Manager Wei snorted coldly and looked at Chen Baosheng with the eyes of a superior, with disdain on his face.

If he had seen Her Majesty the Empress treat Chen Baosheng differently before, he was very interested in promoting him.

The look in Chen Baosheng's eyes still contained a hint of friendship, but now, after listening to the other party's explanation, analysis and suggestions, he thought that the other party was a big idiot and would definitely not survive for a few days, so he looked at him , and became high and mighty again.

If Her Majesty the Empress hadn't ordered him to cooperate with her, Manager Wei would have wanted to wave his sleeves and leave at this time.

Chen Baosheng was naturally aware of the change in Manager Wei's attitude.

You can roughly guess why the other party's attitude changed so quickly.

But he couldn't say it clearly, and he didn't dare to confront the other party. He could only bow and bow to Manager Wei and said:

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. The lower officials are stupid. Everything is entirely up to your Majesty."

Seeing that Chen Baosheng was so understanding, Manager Wei's expression softened slightly and became pleasant again:

"Mr. Chen, you don't have to be polite. Although Her Majesty the Empress has entrusted this job to you and me, you still have to clearly distinguish the priorities."

"Yes, yes, I am just a seventh-grade county magistrate. How can I compare with Lord Wei? If Lord Wei has any orders, just do as he pleases."

Manager Wei nodded with satisfaction, and then slowly said:

"Well, since Mr. Chen has already spoken, you won't be polite to the Za family."

"Although the several suggestions you made before are quite satisfactory, if we implement them accordingly, we will definitely not be able to catch Chu Mo's traitor."

"If you want to catch the other party, the plan for now is to seal off every place and search for every inch of land. Even if I turn over the entire Zhou Dynasty, I must catch the other party."

Chen Baosheng was dumbfounded when he heard what Manager Wei said.

It's just a matter of arresting one person. Is it necessary to mobilize a large number of people like this?

Seeing Chen Baosheng's surprised look, Manager Wei curled his lips in disdain.

The sample is still a bit too tender.

What Her Majesty the Empress means is beyond your ability to guess.

Immediately, Manager Wei ignored Chen Baosheng who was standing there in a daze, and instead ordered to the surrounding guards:

"According to His Majesty's decree, the entire territory will be thoroughly investigated for the details of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who has anything to do with the Tang Dynasty will be jailed; anyone suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason will be jailed; anyone who does not stand firm and is suspected of surrendering to the enemy will be jailed."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Baosheng who was stunned and shouted again:

"If the above three are found to be disloyal to Her Majesty the Empress, their homes will be confiscated and exiled."

"During this period, anyone who knows and fails to report will be punished with the same crime according to the law."

After hearing this, the surrounding guards accepted the order one after another, then got on their horses and galloped towards the official road.

Seeing that the entrance to the village, which was originally bustling with activity, was suddenly mostly empty, Chen Baosheng's heart was filled with panic.

He knew what the other party's order meant.

He also knew that the other party wanted to use Her Majesty's will to eliminate dissidents.

But he can only listen and see, but he can't do anything. He doesn't even have the right to express opinions.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the first person the other party has to deal with is himself, a little seventh-grade county magistrate.
