Xi'an Gate.

As soon as it got light, many people entering and leaving the city gathered inside and outside Xi'an Gate.

"What's going on today? It's past midnight, why isn't the city gate open yet?"

"Yes! The imperial court has stipulated that the gate of Fengyang City should be opened at Mao hour. Isn't the gate captain of Xi'an Gate still awake?"

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

"Even if the captain of the city gate is not here, his guards can open the city gate on time. The city gate has not been opened yet, so something must have happened."

"In the early hours of this morning, the government conducted a large-scale search in the city. It seemed that they were hunting for some spies. I think this matter must be related to the city gate being closed."

"Not bad, it's very possible."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Hey! It seems that Xi'an Gate won't open today. Let's go to Fengyang Gate to have a look! Fengyang Gate is the main entrance to Fengyang City. Maybe we can go out from there."

"Get out of the way. All those who have nothing to do with Jingjianwei's work get out of the way immediately."

At this moment, Chang Zhong, captain of the Jingjian Guards, came over with a team of Jingjian Guards, and the people gathered at the city gate immediately made way for a passage.

Chang Zhong waved his right hand, and two Jingjian guards immediately stepped forward and posted a wanted notice on the city wall.

"Everyone has seen clearly that the person pictured on the wanted notice is a spy from Beiyuan. As soon as you see this person, report it to the guards patrolling the streets immediately. Those who report meritoriously will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver."

"1000 taels? My dear, that's so much money! It seems that I have to let my men go out on the street to try their luck as soon as possible. If someone is lucky, then I will be rich."

"With so much silver reward, this person named Luo Hong is definitely not an ordinary person. This person is definitely a high-ranking official in Beiyuan. We ordinary people cannot afford to offend such a person!"

"This person's face looks quite honest. I didn't expect him to be a secret agent of Bei Yuan. As long as I meet him, I will definitely report him to the official immediately."

……

All the people were talking about everything.

"Everyone please be quiet."

Chang Zhong shouted, and the scene immediately fell silent.

"In order to capture Beiyuan secret agent Luo Hong, Xi'an Gate will be closed starting today. Those who want to go out of town can go to Fengyang Gate and Shangdong Gate."

As soon as Chang Zhong said this, the people gathered at the city gate began to disperse.

Fengtianmen Street.

"parking."

Not long after Lin Feng's carriage left the Lin Mansion, it was stopped by officials from Fengyang Mansion.

Cheng Tianhu immediately clapped his horse and stepped forward, showing a token to the official of Fengyang Mansion, "Yulin Military Academy Lieutenant Cheng Tianhu was ordered by His Majesty to protect Mr. Lin, and he still won't get out of the way."

The official stepped forward to take a look, and quickly raised his hand, "It turns out that it was Mr. Cheng in person, I am rude! I dare to ask Mr. Cheng who is Mr. Lin in the carriage..."

"What's the matter, Lord Lin Fenglin, the editor of the cabinet and the emperor's consort? Do you still want to get on the carriage and search?"

"I dare not, please let me go."

Lin Feng is a popular person in front of His Majesty and the future cabinet minister. He, a small eighth-rank minister in Fengyang Mansion, has no choice but to let him go.

Nowadays, Lin Feng takes a carriage to Lijiazhuang outside the city to develop cement every day. At this time, he is catching up on his sleep on the carriage. He has no idea what is happening outside.

"Brother Cheng, where are we?"

"Brother Lin, we are leaving the city soon."

Not out of town yet? Usually when he wakes up, he will be almost at Lijiazhuang. What is going on today?

Lin Feng looked out through the car window and saw a large number of carriages gathered on the official road leading out of the city through the East Gate. People from the Jingjian Department were searching each carriage one by one.

"Brother Cheng, what's going on?"

"Brother Lin, I heard that in order to arrest the Beiyuan spy, the Fengyang City's eleven gates only opened the Fengyang Gate and the Shangdong Gate. The other nine gates have been closed, so the people leaving the city through the Shangdong Gate today are particularly special. More, but it will be our turn soon.”

"Beiyuan Secret Agent? Brother Cheng, does he know this person's name?"

Cheng Tianhu shook his head, "I don't know, I heard about it on the way here."

Lin Feng immediately got up and got out of the carriage and walked quickly towards the city gate. As soon as he reached the city gate, he saw Han Zhijie and his men checking the carriages and pedestrians leaving the city.

"Commander Han, long time no see."

Han Zhijie looked up and immediately stepped forward to salute, "Greetings to the prince-in-law!"

Upon seeing this, all the mirror guards bowed and saluted, "Greetings to the Prince Consort."

"Commander Han, there is no need to be polite, brothers, there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Prince Consort!"

Lin Feng nodded, "Commander Han, I heard that your Jingjian Division is arresting a spy from Beiyuan. Is it convenient for me to tell him his name?"

"Of course. The secret agent of Beiyuan is Luo Hong, a member of the civil service department. This matter is really thanks to the reminder from the consort, otherwise we would not have discovered Luo Hong's secret so quickly."

Sure enough, it was him. I thought Luo Hong was weird at first, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be a spy from Beiyuan. It seemed that he must be the mastermind behind spreading the rumors.

"Commander Han, Luo Hong escaped, but where is his family?"

"Husband-in-law, Luo Hong's family returned to his hometown in Changzhou ten days ago. However, last night I sent a letter to the Jingjian Guards stationed in Changzhou via flying pigeons. At this time, Luo Hong's family should have been escorted to Beijing. On the way."

Lin Feng nodded. It seemed that Luo Hong had already planned. His family had probably returned to Beiyuan.

"Commander Han, please inform me after you capture Luo Hong. There are some things I want to ask him face to face."

"No problem, I will come to your door in person to inform the prince-in-law when the time comes."

"Then there is Commander Lao Han."

"You don't have to be polite, Prince Consort. This is what a lower official should do. Are you going to leave the city?"

Lin Feng nodded, "His Majesty ordered me to develop something called cement. Now I have to go to the Royal Peat Factory outside the city every morning."

"Cement? What is this cement?"

"Cement is a building material that has similar effects to glutinous rice juice, but cement can not only be used to build walls, but can also be used to build roads."

"The prince-in-law solved the mystery of peat poisoning and provided the people of Dayan with cheap things to burn fires. The cement he has developed now is another kind of god that benefits the people. The young sage's reputation is well-deserved, and his subordinates admire him."

"Brothers, the reason why we were able to discover Luo Hong's true identity was thanks to Lin's consort's reminder. Now Lin's consort has the imperial order and is an imperial envoy. From now on, his carriage does not need to be searched and he can go directly to the emergency exit. Out of town."

"Yes, my lord!"

Lin Feng's face lit up and he quickly raised his hand, "Thank you so much, Commander Han."

Han Zhijie waved his hand quickly, "The prince-in-law is devoted to the people and has done what the subordinate wanted to do but couldn't do. The trivial matters are not worth mentioning."

Lin Feng nodded, thinking that Han Zhijie had good character and was a gentleman he could make friends with.

Lin Feng didn't know that there was a pair of malicious eyes looking at him not far from him. The conversation between him and Han Zhijie also entered this person's ears word for word.
