Efforts to kill the enemy is not as good as the full level of tea art

This kind of thing happened on New Year's Eve, and Lou Changfeng was really furious when he learned about it, and summoned all the soldiers guarding the city, the soldiers who patrolled the night, and Zhuo Yue.

After the guards who had been trained to droop their eyebrows dryly retreated from the hall, they quietly said helplessly to Zhuo Yue: "Since the truce, the market has been open, and many grassland people pass in and out of Yulin Pass every day. The individual's identity is checked carefully, but if someone wants to hide it deliberately, we can't find it out. Besides, this is a truce, who would have thought that the prairie barbarians would be able to deal with moths at this time? Brother Zhuo, you are really good at predicting things. not you..."

Zhuo Yue smiled wryly.If he hadn't experienced everything, he probably wouldn't have expected it.

"Zhuo Yue!" Lou Changfeng's angry voice came from the hall.

Zhuo Yue winked at the soldier and hurried into the hall.

All the important generals in Yulin Pass gathered in the hall, and Lou Changfeng stood in the center with a sullen face and folded his shoulders. When he saw Zhuo Yue, he said, "Zhuo Yue, do these grassland people enter Yulin Pass to steal firecrackers, does it have anything to do with you?" ?!"

Zhuo Yue said seriously: "It has absolutely nothing to do with the bidding."

"It's okay? Then why did this happen when you entered the city with your front foot?!" Lou Changfeng rubbed his forehead in a rare irritability, and let out a foul breath, "Zhuo Yue, even if I believe in you now, I can't believe you." It’s hard to convince everyone. Now it’s clearly in the truce period, and we’re still talking about the border treaty through the third prince, and when you come back here… all these things come together, it’s too far-fetched to call it a coincidence, right?”

Zhuo Yue frowned slightly.

Lou Changfeng's words reminded him that the timing of everything happened was indeed a bit too coincidental.He had a lot of guesses in his mind, but because he didn't have a firm judgment, he could only say: "General, don't forget that the so-called truce only exists between us and the Zhagan people, and there are many other tribes on the grassland."

For example, Zhagan's former master Tu Mozhong, other forces in Dari Achili, and the Huda tribe who still don't know the details.

Lou Changfeng's face changed slightly, and he instantly understood what he meant - even after the war, the frontier is not peaceful now.There are too many different forces on the grassland. They can't be careless if they press the gourd and pick up the ladle.

After a long silence, Lou Changfeng said in a deep voice: "I will leave this matter to Wang Rong to investigate. Zhuo Yue, you are on the sidelines, you must find out the details of this group of prairie people and the traitors in the army. who is it!"

Among the generals, Wang Rong blinked at Zhuo Yue.Zhuo Yue was relieved, and took the order loudly - he and Wang Rong had old friends when they were in Zhongxing City, and the two had a good relationship.Lou Changfeng specially appointed him to investigate this matter, probably because he wanted to make things easier for Zhuo Yue.

"Check it out, Zhuo Yue." Lou Changfeng stared at Zhuo Yue closely, with a worried expression on his face, "If you don't check clearly... such things as peace talks, marriages, and mutual markets are another matter."

After taking the order, Wang Rong patted Zhuo Yue with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be no chance to stand side by side with you on the battlefield. Now that the truce has given us a chance to cooperate. Brother Zhuo, I believe in you. What do you think we will do?" check?"

Zhuo Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, Deputy General Wang, for your trust. Those prairie people have committed suicide, and you can hand over their bodies to the assistant to see if you can find any information about their identities. Those traders will naturally have to interrogate them. They may know the grassland How do people connect with moles in the city. And—”

He lowered his voice and recounted what the few people saw after following the grassland caravan last night.

Wang Rong listened, and his complexion gradually became serious: "I know the inn that the caravan went to first, and the envoys who escorted the latest batch of firecrackers to Yulin Pass lived in it. They will return to the capital after the New Year's Eve. .”

The people in the station are actually related to this batch of firecrackers?Zhuo Yue frowned and asked, "Then what is Liu Fuyu doing in the army now?"

"He has no military exploits, and his military rank is not high. After the truce, he was sent to the ordnance station to take care of the warehouse."

Therefore, the envoys who brought the firecrackers to the frontier, Liu Fuyu who took care of the warehouse, the general of the ordnance station, and Zhang Laohei, everyone in contact with this caravan may hand over the firecrackers to the grassland. people.

Zhuo Yue kept frowning.He is not very good at investigating cases like stripping cocoons, so he had to smile bitterly: "To be honest, the relationship here is complicated, and I have to go back and think about it. I would like to ask Brother Wang to try those traders and the four families I mentioned first." Bar."

Wang Rong repeatedly agreed.

"There is one more thing, I have to explain to you." Zhuo Yue whispered, and told Wang Rong that Zhang Laohei had privately communicated with the grassland side using the letter bird.

Now that it is a matter of the overall situation, he can no longer hide it for Zhang Laohei.And if you can take this opportunity to prove that Zhang Laohei has nothing to do with the theft of the firecracker, of course it would be the best.

After returning, Zhuo Yue told Li Changxing what happened today, and thoughtfully said: "The general's words today reminded me that these people came to steal firecrackers and we entered the customs. What a coincidence? Does it really matter?"

Li Changxing's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Maybe."

Zhuo Yue was so annoyed that he rubbed his forehead: "So who are these people? Are they really loyal people, or are they pretending? Why are they pretending? If they are Huda people, why are they stealing firecrackers? This small tribe is even famous. No, what's the use of stealing the firecrackers, can they still come to attack the Central Plains?"

He was so tired of these intrigues that his head would split apart just thinking about it.

Li Changxing grabbed his hand with a smile: "My forehead is red. Don't worry, haven't you asked Wang Rong to interrogate those people? Now just wait for the result."

Zhuo Yue sighed: "It has to be like this. I am worried that the situation on this grassland is not stable. You have been staying with me in Yulin Pass. Will there be any changes on Dari Achi's side?"

"Don't worry, brother Zhuo." Li Changxing smiled slightly, "I have my own plan."

On that day, Wang Rong gathered everyone together for interrogation, and the first ones to interrogate were naturally those grassland vendors.

These people were already shivering with fright, and when they asked, they all recruited like beans in a bamboo tube: "My lord, we are really serious businessmen, and those who delivered goods to us last night were also Regular customers. How did we know this would happen..."

"How could you not know? Didn't those prairie soldiers come with you?"

"He's the mercenary we hired, just like your bodyguards in the Central Plains. It's a long way to transport the goods to the border, and you have to pass through several grassland tribes. It's really worrying that there are no strong people to protect the goods. .”

"Then when you unloaded the goods last night, didn't you see which one put suspicious things into your truck?"

The peddler muttered, "This, we haven't really looked at this carefully. We do business by bartering things, and the coins from the Central Plains people have nowhere to spend when they arrive at us, so all we received this trip were cloth, silk, Drinks, rice, and some gadgets. These things are afraid of the tide. When these families moved out, they were covered with tarpaulins, and we didn’t take a closer look. The soldiers are strong and healthy, so we let them move together gone."

……

When Wang Rong relayed it to Zhuo Yue, he added: "The group of traders didn't tell the truth. How could a businessman have any reason to receive the goods but not count them? He probably knew who these prairie people were going to meet when they came to the city. But I don’t know which one it is.”

Zhuo Yue nodded and asked, "So where are these traders and soldiers from?"

"It's true that the merchants are loyal people, but these soldiers were hired from the free market, and they don't know the details."

So, this caravan is actually a cover, and they can't get too much information from them.

We still have to investigate the traitors in the city.

Both Zhang Laohei and Liu Fuyu were barefoot soldiers, so they would naturally follow suit. Although the generals of the Ordnance Institute were arrogant, Lou Changfeng personally ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, so he had no choice but to cooperate.Only the envoy who escorted the fire gun to the border was very difficult to serve, and even shook his face when he came.

"Why, I just bought a few furs. Is this illegal?" The middle-aged man in his early thirties had a thin face, a long sparse beard, and an ugly face. He crossed his legs and sneered. Ladies and gentlemen, what a majestic official, it seems that the criminal law here is different from that in the capital."

Zhuo Yue also came to interrogate these four people today, and couldn't help frowning when he heard this.He knew that the envoy's surname was Yan, and he came from a well-established family in the capital, but he did not expect to be so domineering.The Xie Ling he had met was also a son of a famous family, but although Xie Ling was arrogant, he would not bully others, which was quite different from this official with a surname who wanted to look at people with his nostrils.

Wang Rong's complexion was also a little ugly: "Master Yan, you misunderstood, the main reason is that it happened to coincide with the theft of the firecracker, and the general has to ask the matter clearly."

"Then what are you asking me for?" Lord Yan said sharply, "You still doubt me? I am the escort appointed by the Holy Majesty, if you doubt me, you doubt the Holy Majesty!"

Zhuo Yue couldn't help sighing because his forehead was throbbing at the sound of his sharp male duck voice.Li Changxing, who came with him, patted him on the back as a sign of comfort.

Wang Rong's face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.But he had already been placed in this position, even if it was shit in front of him, he would have to straighten his neck and swallow: "My lord, the last general really has no such intentions. Maybe you can provide some clues to help us find the traitor? "

"So what exactly do you want to ask? I bought him two furs, gave him five pieces of red cloth and a few small ornaments, and gave him some reward silver. Those vendors were so excited and grateful." Lord Yan snorted coldly. Said, "Go and check, what I said must be right."

Wang Rong signaled to accept the soldiers to investigate, and then asked: "Then why did you buy something from this caravan?"

"They come to Yulin Pass every month. I saw them selling woolen materials in the market last month, but the woolen materials were not of the highest quality, so I ordered a batch from them and asked for this. Send it to the moon."

After that, there was nothing left to ask, and Lord Yan made a fuss with cynicism again, and Wang Rong had no choice but to send him away.

"It's really difficult to serve." Wang Rong smiled wryly at Zhuo Yue after returning, "But the five red cloths and small ornaments he mentioned match up with the things in the truck."

Zhuo Yue said: "As the escort officer handpicked by the emperor, if the errand fails, he will not be able to escape the responsibility. He probably has no motive for collaborating with the enemy."

"It's hard to say." Wang Rong shook his head and said, "The peace negotiation led by General Lou is now with Dari Achi. If the peace negotiation is successful, the new exchange market location will be chosen near Yulin Pass. The old exchange market in Hui County is estimated to be It will be abolished. The exchange market needs to collect tax money, and a few cents for each order is not a small amount. The old exchange market Hui County is the territory of several prominent families in the capital, including the Yan family. If these people do not want to compromise It’s going on smoothly, and it might be a hindrance.”

Zhuo Yue felt a headache again.He only understands "make trouble in it", and he doesn't understand the complicated relationship in front of him at all.

On the contrary, Li Changxing nodded clearly behind him: "So, we have to hurry up. Seeing that the New Year is over, if this Lord Yan brings out the oracle and says that he will return to Beijing, we can't stop him. "

The next person to interrogate was Zhang Hong, a member of the Ordnance Institute.

But I have to finish writing the hole I dug myself! (Ten injections of chicken blood)
