Chapter 69 Investigation
"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei Fei Ge sent a secret message that the Datong Kingdom has withdrawn its troops!"

"I know!" Hearing An Jianqing's words, Zhao Yuan was not surprised by this, "Now Emperor Sun Ye of Dayu Kingdom has led his troops to surrender, and General Yan has led the army to gradually take over Dayu Kingdom. Even if Dayu Kingdom has No matter how difficult it is to resist now, the Dayu Kingdom will soon become a part of my Dazheng Kingdom!"

"The Datong country is not only bordered by our Dazheng country, but also bordered by the Dayu country. After our country occupies the territory of the Dayu country, it will be able to attack the Datong country on both sides. The Datong country will be much more dangerous. After learning about this It is reasonable for the Datong Kingdom to retreat, and it will not be long before the envoy of the Datong Kingdom begging for surrender will arrive!"

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to take advantage of the opportunity to attack from both sides and annex Datong Kingdom in one fell swoop?"

"No!" Shaking his head, Zhao Yuan said extremely calmly, "The pharmacist is right. Although the Datong Kingdom has sent troops, it has not lost its strength in the past. It is not appropriate to forcibly annex the country at this moment. Our Dazheng Kingdom annexed it in just a few months." In the Three Kingdoms, the stalls are too big, and it will take a certain amount of time to digest these victories. Moreover, the soldiers are tired of the war after all, and they need a certain amount of time to rest!"

"Since our country, Dazheng, needs time to recuperate, it is better to have an honest neighbor than those evil neighbors! However, Jinyiwei still needs to send enough people to find out the reality of Datong and monitor everything in Datong. In the future, Dazheng will be like this If we want to expand externally, Datong will be the first to bear the brunt!"

"I obey the order!" Taking a careful look at Zhao Yuan, An Jianqing said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I still have something to say!"

"speak!"

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has been established for less than a year. We need to monitor all officials and place spies in the surrounding countries. There may be a slight shortage of manpower under my command!"

"I give you so much money every year to let you develop, not to listen to your complaints!" Zhao Yuan also knows that his stall is too big, Jinyiwei is established in a short period of time, recruiting manpower, secret training, etc. will also take time , Excessive overthrowing will only reduce the efficiency of Jin Yiwei, which is not what Zhao Yuan wants to see.

"I dare not, I just beg Your Majesty to give me a certain authority to recruit enough manpower, and I will give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer!"

"Okay, I have agreed to this matter!" Nodding his head, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "Next, I will rest and recuperate for a period of time in the Taisho National Assembly. I will give you enough time and funds to develop, but I don't want to hear such words in the future!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best!"

"By the way, how is the matter I asked you to investigate? It is impossible for the two thousand troops escorting food and grass to be killed without knowing it. No clues were found!"

"This!"

"What does it look like hesitating!" Seeing An Jianqing's expression at this time, Zhao Yuan asked with some dissatisfaction in his heart: "It seems that the news is very bad from your appearance, what did Jin Yiwei find out?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to our Jin Yiwei's investigation, the ambush of our army was the joint efforts of bandits from more than ten cottages scattered in the territory of Dazheng Kingdom!"

"Bandits? Just rely on them?" With a slightly unhappy face, Zhao Yuan said lightly, "Not to mention whether they have the ability, how dare they move the military rations that are transported to the front line?"

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first, but in the end I found out that it was indeed true!" He raised his head carefully and glanced at Zhao Yuan. An Jianqing then whispered, "And the bandits who acted in these operations were all killed immediately after their success." They were killed. According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, they should all have been poisoned to death. The poison was so severe that their throats were sealed with blood!"

"Not only that, the only remaining young and old in their village were subsequently killed, and no one survived!"

"Destroyed!" This news made Zhao Yuan slightly dissatisfied, and then he asked An Jianqing, "What about the people who destroyed these cottages, did you find any clues?"

"Not yet!" Carefully lowering his head and not daring to meet Zhao Yuan's gaze, An Jianqing said in a low voice, "The other party's actions were too clean, it was obvious that they were prepared, even if there were clues, it would be difficult to find out where the other party was! "

"More than a dozen cottages were slaughtered. It is impossible that there are no clues. There are only a handful of forces with such strength in Dazheng Kingdom!" Shaking his head, Zhao Yuan said slowly, "The person who told you will investigate carefully. If this matter is not Find out, I can't sleep or eat in peace!"

"I understand, I will go all out!"

"It won't take long for the frame to arrive in the capital!"

"Yes, it has only been two months since His Majesty's personal conquest, and now His Majesty's return has arrived in Anyu County, and it is estimated that we will arrive in the capital in two days!"

"So, what about the time when the food and grass were robbed? Was there anything unusual in the capital?"

"The minister has already investigated. Since His Majesty's personal conquest, the capital has been relatively stable. Your lords have performed their duties and there has not been much disturbance. This matter should have nothing to do with your lords!"

"That's good!" Nodding his head, Zhao Yuan waved his hand at An Jianqing, "Go down first!"

"Yes!" Zhao Yuan respectfully stepped out of the carriage, and then two people followed An Jianqing.

"Immediately send a letter to the scholar Fei Ge, saying that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with his efficiency!" Straightening his body, An Jianqing said to the people behind him, "Tell him, if he can find out the matter smoothly , I personally ask His Majesty for his magic power. If he can't find out, he doesn't have to come back!"

"Yes!"

The flying pigeon flew through the bustling market and the vast fields, and finally stopped on a small hill. After being caught, they took the secret letter tied to the flying pigeon and let it fly again.Here, a group of more than ten vigilant people in brocade clothes stood aside each other and carefully stared at the surroundings, while a middle-aged man in plain scholar's clothing among them was sitting quietly and reading slowly with a book in his hand. with.

"My lord, command and envoy your lord's flying pigeon secret letter!"

"Yeah!" Nodding, the middle-aged scholar casually opened the secret letter, and then a smile appeared on his face, "We have found nothing for so many days, and our command has made you a little anxious. reprimand!"

"My lord, the other party has obviously come prepared, and it is difficult to find out!" One person looked at the middle-aged scholar with a sad face. After this period of investigation, they also recognized one thing clearly. The other party is obviously Colleagues, everything was done too cleanly, and there was nothing left in the whole scene.

In the past few days, they broke their legs and scratched their heads. They searched more than ten cottages that had been slaughtered, but they still found nothing.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been urged by An Jianqing!
"Who said we've got nothing!" Carefully put away the books in his hand, the middle-aged scholar opened the bag beside him and said with a smile to the people next to him, "Isn't this our greatest gain?"

"This? A very ordinary bandit clothes?"

"Normal?" The middle-aged scholar's face turned cold when he accepted it, and he looked at the other party with an ugly face and said, "You are Jin Yiwei, and you should not ignore any clues!"

"Smell it carefully, what's the difference in this dress?"

"There is no peculiar smell, and there seems to be a faint fragrance!"

"This is a girl's body fragrance!" The middle-aged scholar glanced at his subordinates angrily and said lightly, "This dress appears in an independent courtyard in Changfeng Village. It is observed that there should be only one person living in it. That is to say The owner of this dress has a high status in the village!"

"But we just checked all over Changfeng Village, and no body of the girl was found in the village!" Picking up the clothes, the middle-aged scholar said with a smile, "In other words, the owner of this clothes is very likely. We've dodged a bullet, if we can find this person, we can get the news we want!"

"But based on just one piece of clothing, we can infer the person's stature at most, but we don't know anything about her appearance. What's more, we don't know where she went. Finding someone like this is like finding a needle in a haystack!"

"Looking for a needle in a haystack is necessary. It is better to have clues than to have no clues!" Putting his clothes away slowly, the middle-aged scholar said indifferently, "This person can't go far without a penny, and this person should have a few tricks under his hands. It's full of blood and hatred, and it's impossible to settle down. As long as we search carefully, we will definitely find her trace!"
