Dress as a villain
Chapter 179 Layers of conspiracy and tips for Xie Ying
After Xie Lanzhi found something was wrong, she immediately sent someone to find Xie Ying.Still secretly contacting spies.
A spy in Weidu came to report Xie Ying's trace, but it was only yesterday.
The spies didn't see Xie Ying today, so they sent someone out to look for it, only to find that the thorn hadn't gone to the pier yesterday.I asked the manager of the pier, and the manager also said that she didn't even get paid and disappeared.
The secret agent and Xie Ying had a quarrel yesterday and did not pay close attention to Xie Ying. Unexpectedly, Xie Ying disappeared that day.
Xie Lanzhi ordered the spy to find Xie Ying first, while the others continued to stare at Weidu.
There is no specific news about Anshan, but the Hu Huns who are in charge of taking over have emerged.Other spies are still interrogating the captured Hu Huns.
Hu Xiong couldn't pry his mouth open no matter what, so Xie Lanzhi got a Tai Sui talisman from the spy, and on the back of the Tai Sui talisman, there was a familiar birth date.
Xie Lanzhi personally went to interrogate the Hu Huns and asked them: "Is the Tai Sui Talisman from Anshan?"
None of the five Hu Huns spoke. They were more afraid of the monster outside than torture and interrogation.
A spy said: "They have been refusing to tell."
Xie Lanzhi continued to ask them: "Why is his Tai Sui Talisman in your hands?"
"Hasn't Altu reminded him that he has to carry his Tai Sui Talisman with him?"
As soon as these words came out, one of the Hu Huns quickly looked up at her.
Xie Lanzhi picked this short Huxiong man and asked, "It's better to put something like Tai Sui Talisman next to your body, or put it under the pillow, isn't it?"
The Hu Hun immediately bowed his head.
She continued: "Altu never lost the Tai Sui talisman until his death."
"You can see how precious he is."
"So once someone doesn't want to wear this talisman, does it mean that Hua Tai Sui's deity doesn't want to take a certain responsibility."
Another Hu Hun couldn't help but look at her secretly.
Xie Lanzhi didn't mind revealing a little more information: "Altu said that sacrificing his life for the king is the thing he regrets the most."
Of course she made it up herself.
Unexpectedly, a Hu Hun with round arms reacted most violently.
His eyes widened, the corners of which were almost split open: "You are Xie Ying?!"
Xie Lanzhi walked up to this person, bent down and squatted down: "Altu, a dignified general, should end up on the battlefield, not die for him."
"In fact, he didn't die unjustly. He sacrificed for the king and dedicated himself to the king. In fact, he was willing."
At this moment, her tone changed, and her words changed abruptly: "But as the king's substitute, she only fought for three years of life for the king. After all, she is still a...very humble dog's life."
"It's no wonder the king still looks for Anshan in the end. It seems that Anshan is more valuable than Altu's dog's life."
This time the emotions of the five Hu Huns became agitated. Some of them stared and tried to stare at her to death, some struggled but were stepped on by spies, and some were in shock.
These people seem to know more or less about the substitutes, which means they are not ordinary Hu Huns.
How could ordinary people know about the substitute?And reacted so violently to her words.
Seeing that they couldn't hide their emotions and their mouths were still tightly covered, Xie Lanzhi knew that a few words would not be able to stimulate them.
Finally she said a few words to the spy.
Use Artur as a primer to pry their mouths open.
The spy nodded and asked Xie Lanzhi to leave first.
Xie Lanzhi returned to Xie Xia's mansion, and Xie Xia hurried over with his helmet in his arms.
"Marshal, there is another news from the water bandits. They just blocked the way and robbed a civilian ship."
Seeing Xie Xia put on the helmet, she planned to go there.
Xie Xia turned her head and said to her again: "By the way, Marshal, Gou Ying sent a letter yesterday, I was too busy yesterday and didn't pay attention."
"Do you see what she wrote?"
Xie Lanzhi opened the crumpled envelope, glanced at it, and said: "She has already gone to Surabaya by boat."
"What?" Xie Xia was very surprised, so didn't he miss the opportunity to bring Gou Ying back to the mansion yesterday?
Xie Xia thought that Gou Ying had the same virtues as her father, and he immediately became anxious: "Marshal, I'll go back as soon as I go!"
Xie Lanzhi didn't stop him, she went back to the mansion by herself, and put away the letter by the way.But she was curious in her heart, how did Xie Ying have the ability to escape the spy's surveillance?As a fledgling child of hers, she had never done any anti-reconnaissance operations, so it was naturally impossible to get rid of well-trained spies.
Could there be someone else by her side?
At the same time, the civilian boat to Surabaya was stopped by two boats as soon as it passed by. The water bandits rushed onto the civilian boat and found that there were only an old man and a young man in the cabin, and there were sweet potatoes and taro on board that were not worth much.
More than 20 water bandits immediately disliked the crude boat, so they wanted to kill him.
Unexpectedly, the old man was very arrogant and ordered the young man to do something to them.
The water bandits immediately laughed at their overreaching.But when the young man picked up the bamboo pole with his feet, he picked a water bandit into the water, the bamboo pole fell apart and the hull shook, and all the water bandits crowded in the civilian boat fell into the water.
A water bandit walked out of the reeds, and also cursed: "A broken ship can't solve it, and I want Lao Tzu to use such a precious cannon."
"Do you know how much a cannon is worth? It's worth 1000 taels, 1000 taels, and you let me deal with two people?"
The old man came out of the cabin, leaning on his crutches and standing on the armor, he said to the water bandits on the shore, "This man is right, a cannonball is not worth hitting our grandpa and grandson."
"It's the old man's grandson who offended everyone, please forgive me."
The water bandits soaked in the river wanted to take the opportunity to dive into the water to dig the boat, the old man immediately said: "Don't be impulsive, the master below, if it sinks, the old man will be angry."
"Even if your village master comes forward to intercede at that time, there will be no discussion."
The water bandits in the reed field heard that the old man's tone was calm and fearless, and he even mentioned their village master, so it's possible that he was an acquaintance of the village master.
He asked: "Dare to ask the old man's name?"
The old man replied kindly: "My surname is Qian, and my name is Qian Gui."
"Beside him is my grandson, Qian Tong." The old man pointed to the young man in shorts next to him.Xie Ying lowered her head at the right time, to be wary of the water bandits who fell into the water.
The water bandit in the reed field told the old man to wait, and by the way told his accomplice in the water to stay put until he figured out their identities.
Within a quarter of an hour, the water bandit turned back and hurriedly bowed to the old man: "So you are Mr. Qian. Our village master has been thinking of you all the time. I didn't expect that your personal visit would make Surabaya full of glory."
"I don't know what you are doing on the island?"
Immediately the water bandits let the gang go, and the old man said: "I have something important to see the village master."
The water bandit asked his accomplices to get out of the way, and when the old man's boat docked, he disembarked on crutches, his steady steps not shaking at all.Xie Ying lowered her head and followed him without saying a word.My heart was already surging.
Why did the old man know the water bandits? !
She was tricked by the old man.Xie Ying suddenly remembered that she was going to act alone yesterday, but was monitored by spies, and then the old man appeared and told her how to avoid it.At first she thought that the old man was a native of Weidu, so she knew the shortcuts in the streets and alleys to avoid surveillance.
Afterwards, she wanted to thank the old man, but unexpectedly, the old man asked her for help. He wanted to transport sweet potatoes and taro across Surabaya.
At first Xie Ying refused, because there were water bandits there, until the old man said: I brought you here this time because I want you to expose a conspiracy, that is, the second son is not dead.
"I'm the secret guard of the old prince. Just like the Xiwei of Tianjing, I'm working for the royal family. It's a pity that the people in Weidu are panic-stricken now, and they are all raised by the second son."
"The common people don't know that the person they are mourning for has long been eating food from inside out. The prince doesn't listen to the old man's words, and I see that you are not willing to be ordinary, young man. So go with the old man."
"Marshal Xie is investigating this matter?"
When Xie Ying heard these words, she decided to take a break.
Xie Ying was indeed betting right.The old man named Qian Gui was indeed not an ordinary person, but she didn't expect that the other party had a good relationship with the village owner in Surabaya. What kind of good thing could a guy who knew a thief be? !
Thinking of this, Xie Ying stared at Qian Gui closely.
Qian Gui calmly said, "What are you afraid of, just follow me."
Now that the matter has come to this point, it is impossible for Xie Ying to escape unharmed for the time being when she boarded the pirate ship.She could only grit her gums and silently beware of the bandits and the old man.
Seeing her full of vigilance, the old man said cheerfully: "The first time I met you on the boat, I thought you were not an ordinary person."
"The old man has said so many things, maybe you have already noticed something strange."
Xie Ying finally opened her mouth and said, "Grandpa is talking about selling rice instead of shipping?"
The old man said: "Tell me, why did the old man say that at the time? What did you notice?"
"There is nothing wrong with what you said." Xie Ying said, "It's a pity that what you are right is said by a person who was born in the common people."
She is also an ordinary person herself, and she knows that a ship is something that ordinary people can't imagine.She can't even afford it herself.
But the old man was full of amiability and made cakes for a group of energetic young people.
He himself is dressed plainly, and he can still tell the detailed water transportation process in Weidu.That in itself is suspicious.
It is understandable to say that the old man just kindly told a group of young people the way out, but the blame is that his instigation is more obvious than his encouragement.This is manifested in the fact that the old man personally calculated a clear account for the group of young people.
When Xie Ying was a young general, although she had never been in contact with water transportation, there was a famous businessman in the Xie family, Xie Fengqing. She and Xie Fengling were still friends. Every time Xie Fengling talked to her, she would complain. Everyone is planning carefully, and if they can earn a penny more, Xie Fengqing will never make a penny less.
It was precisely because she had been exposed to the people around her that Xie Ying discovered the problem at that time.
It was the group of young people who were fooled around, and even the old man pretended to fall because the two young people on the boat were arguing for him.Full of enthusiasm and good intentions, this person will use it if he says to use it.
Even if the old man made it easier for her.
Xie Ying was able to follow the old man because he had helped her during the search at the port. Now, she regretted it a little because she got into his thief's boat in a moment of soft-heartedness.
She still doesn't know what the other party's purpose is? !
Also, how did the old man know that the Marshal had also arrived in Weidu?Not even her.
The old man said: "Your observation is very keen. The old man has always had a good eye. I have already seen that you are not an ordinary person. It is just a moment of downfall."
As soon as he changed the subject, he chuckled again: "The tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs."
It's like mocking and laughing, but I don't know if it's for Xie Ying or myself.
Xie Ying held her breath and said nothing, the water bandits in front had already asked them to board a small boat, and the water bandits rowed from a small boat to the camp in Surabaya.
The camps were set up on both sides of the canyon. There were a number of wooden houses built with cross-bars in the flat ground, and there was a rickety wooden bridge in the middle. A group of people went ashore and walked across the rickety wooden bridge to the gate of the camp. Someone released two Basket down.
The old man and Xie Ying sat on the basket one after the other, and then Xie Ying landed on a wooden railing and found that behind the gate of the camp was suspended and below was a torrent of torrents.No wonder you don't go in through the door.The gate of the camp is a blindfold.
The village owner in Surabaya had a bald head and a scarred face. When he saw the old man, he rushed over to greet him: "Long time no see, Treasurer Qian. How are you coming?"
The old man exchanged pleasantries with the village master, and Xie Ying learned that the village master general Yang Gao.
Yang Gao seemed to be ingratiating himself with the old man, and finally chose the two best rooms for the old man and Xie Ying.
At night, Surabaya can't tell where the water is and the road is, and the water bandits here don't go out at night.
Xie Ying saw that the food in Surabaya was good, and it didn't look like she was short of money or food.She was puzzled by the 5000 million ransom proposed by the water bandits, and the second son is still alive?
The second son has already declared his death outside, so what is going on if he is still alive in private?
Seeing that she became the person closest to the truth, Xie Ying felt a little hesitant, but thinking of Qiqi, she quickly made a decision.How can you get tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's lair?
The old man did not come to look for Xie Ying during this period.When Xie Ying was bored, someone would follow her when she went out, and she didn't dare to run casually.When she came to a stable, she suddenly wondered when she saw the horses. Is there a place to run horses nearby?
It seems that the terrain of Surabaya is not as simple as it seems.
Soon Xie Ying was reminded by the water bandits not to wander around. Xie Ying had just turned back to her room. She lived on the second floor. As soon as she went upstairs, she heard someone throw a glass in the private room on the other side of the stairs, and then there was a big quarrel there.
"This is different from what I said at the beginning!"
"How can you go back on your word!"
"Who gave you the courage, you are dead now. You are no longer a second son, and you dare to be arrogant in front of me!"
The man shouted: "Presumptuous!"
Immediately, the private room became chaotic, and Xie Ying was pushed back to the room when she wanted to probe.
The old man entered the room behind and reminded her: "If you want to survive, you have to put your eyes in the right place."
"That person claims to be the Second Young Master." Xie Ying said, "He is still alive."
The old man said: "Do you want to know why the Second Young Master suspended his death?"
Xie Ying nodded.
The old man said: "This is the prince's family business."
"Second Young Master's fake death is not good for him." Xie Ying said: "If someone wants to kill him, they can do it at any time."
She didn't believe that the second son of the royal family who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth and was loved by all, would abandon his identity. There must be some reason why he had to do this?
The old man said: "People in this world are very greedy. Just tell them that there is a gold mine here, and that the gold mine will soon belong to someone else. Guess what they will do?"
Xie Ying watched him play tricks, and threw her one question after another, but didn't mention the part she wanted to know.She said nothing.
The old man pretended to be interested when he saw that she was clearly interested. He smiled and said, "Then the old man will clearly say one thing. The reason why I fell in love with you is because I know your identity."
"Your name is Xie Ying, and you are the eldest daughter of a former general."
Xie Ying's eyes immediately turned cold, she stared at the old man closely.
The old man said: "You were instructed to act alone."
Xie Ying quietly put her hands behind her back, she was already sweating nervously, the old man stopped irritating her, he said: "The Second Young Master's matter has nothing to do with your meritorious deeds, you just do what you should do."
"Who are you?" Xie Ying finally asked.Compared with the previous series of doubts, the identity of the old man became what she wanted to know most.
The old man said: "Qian Gui. This old man is called Qian Gui."
The entire Weidu was in an atmosphere of mourning, the ground floor was lit with incense, and another day of work began.
After Si Lei woke up, he sat on Si Hong's bed, hunched over, with a look of grief on his face.
The princess has been crying in the backyard, and he is in his son's room.
Xie Xia heard that Si Lei kept shutting himself in Si Hong's room without eating or drinking, so he came to persuade Si Lei.
Si Lei also looked listless when receiving him.
Xie Xia didn't understand the pain of his bereavement. People in high positions like them couldn't just care about themselves.Si Lei has not been in charge of Weidu's affairs for three days, and some people in Weidu have already started to slack off.
All checkpoints are now guarded by Mrs. Xie.
Xie Lanzhi followed behind Xie Xia, she looked at Sihong's room, it was relatively simple, the most royal, and the only most noble thing used was a diorama.
Xie Lanzhi was a little surprised when he saw the diorama. Could it be that there are already industrial prototypes on the other side of the sea?
When she walked to the mirror, Si Lei saw that he thought women were naturally interested in mirrors.
He said: "My Hong'er likes this mirror the most."
Xie Lanzhi bowed and bowed: "My lord, do you dare to ask where the mirror comes from?"
Si Lei glanced at her, Xie Xia quickly scolded her: "Bold, don't come here."
Si Lei quickly looked away, and he took a deep breath and said, "I'm from the four countries in the Southern Region. I heard that these mirrors are very popular there. They belong to Anluo Craft."
"An Luo is not a big or small fan country, nothing to worry about."
It is not worth mentioning now, but Anluo has always been the country that is most likely to make other countries suffer.Xie Lanzhi didn't say a word, he had already learned that An Luo's trade reached four countries in Southeast Asia.The four countries of Nanyang have already started to do business directly with Anluo country, but not at the end of Jin Dynasty, only indirect contact.
Xie Xia didn't know the Marshal's intentions, but he was more curious about another matter.
"My lord, have you ever thought about offending anyone outside?" Xie Xia said, "That's why the water bandits deliberately played with you when you were raising the ransom, and then killed the second young master?"
Speaking of the second son being killed, Si Lei became emotional immediately: "Who can this king offend? It's not like General Xie doesn't know the military strength in Weidu!"
Xie Xia said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking."
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Xie Lanzhi.Xie Lanzhi winked at him.
Xie Xia cooperated and said: "The general's personal guard has experienced the body of the second son, and she has a new discovery."
"Maybe the second son..."
As soon as these words came out, Si Lei immediately stood up, he was surprised and very angry.Now he can't calm down, he has regarded the condolences outside as normal, and feels that his son is dead.Now that there was a different voice, his first reaction was anger. Why was he angry? Xie Xia asked for an autopsy to find something different. Wasn't he slapping him in the face as a father, saying that he couldn't even recognize his son's body?
He said: "You don't have to doubt, that corpse belongs to Hong'er! I am his father, can I not compare to you outsiders?"
Xie Lanzhi cupped her fists and said, "My lord, the general did it out of good intentions, not..."
Si Lei interrupted her, he shook his sleeves at them: "Come here, see off the guests!"
Si Lei couldn't calm down because of the pain of losing his son, but Xie Lanzhi could understand, she and Xie Xia left the palace.
On the way, Xie Xia walked ahead and couldn't help thinking: "He doesn't seem like a person who understands his son at all."
"Marshal, do you see anything?"
Xie Lanzhi thought of the diorama in Si Hong's room, she said: "This son of his has very long arms, longer than his father's."
Seeing that Xie Xia was confused.She continued: "The simplicity of the room shows that Sihong himself does not pay attention to material enjoyment, saying that he stretches out his hands, and he himself manages the treasury for profit. A businessman's nature is to do whatever it takes to make a profit."
"Marshal means that Sihong's business has already reached the four countries in Nanyang, and Si Lei looks down on the four countries in Nanyang, so naturally he doesn't ask." Xie Xia followed her way of thinking and analyzed: "The trade of the four countries in Nanyang can only be done by Si Lei. Macro reported it himself."
As for the reported data, it is impossible for Si Lei not to believe it because of his own son.
In this way, we can speculate further.
Xie Lanzhi said: "Suppose, I said that if Si Hong didn't die but hid it deliberately, do you think it is possible?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Xia's eyes widened.He didn't understand that the second son of the royal family would not enjoy the glory and wealth and cooperate with a bunch of water bandits?What good could he do?Could it be compared to his current life?
"Then what is he for?"
Xie Lanzhi thought of a certain possibility, her eyes were terrifyingly calm, and she even smiled slightly: "In troubled times, there are more important things than money."
"A person who is used to prosperity and wealth, no matter how much money he asks for, his own enjoyment will be limited, but fame and fame are different."
"Whether Sihong has this ability, I don't know, but as long as he has ambition, there will be a day when he will be inspired."
Maybe the other party has already arranged it sneakily.
If someone told him at this time, where is the road, how should he go?
Then a gamble begins.
Xie Xia still couldn't believe it. The marshal was so amazing that with the decoration of the room, could the autopsy be able to dig out so many secrets?
Seeing his amazed look, Xie Lanzhi couldn't help frowning and said, "I've had contact with An Shan before."
Although it was just a trick set by An Shan, An Shan's methods had been deeply engraved in her mind.Now he is just using some methods in Weidu again.
The terrain of Weidu is convenient, but traffic control is not strict, so it is easy for fish to slip through the net.
Now Anshan has not moved. The Hu Huns who had contacted him fell into the hands of spies, and his whereabouts have not been found yet.But it's also a matter of time.
The two returned to the mansion.
Xie Lanzhi told Xie Xia about the methods An Shan had always used to set a pattern.
Xie Xia knew how to take notes in a notebook at first.
Until he heard the marshal say: "An Shan likes to create public opinion to incite people's hearts, and then take advantage of the chaos to act. At the beginning he..."
She told Xie Xia one by one about Anshan inciting the Hu people to cut off the water source with the water merchants, creating panic and alienation, and Xie Ji burning the camp.All of An Shan's methods caused huge losses, and the Xie Group was fooled around. In the end, Xie Ji looked for An Shan for a long time, and found that the eyeliner arranged by the other party was by his side.
An Shan even placed Su Ha's legacy under Li Li's nose, playing with the entire upper class in applause.
Xie Xia was terrified when she heard this, and quickly looked at Xie Lanzhi to identify her authenticity.
Xie Lanzhi said: "Even you think this person is scary, don't you?"
"In the final analysis, what Anshan is best at is playing with people's hearts."
People in Weidu are now mourning everywhere, regardless of the occasion, and it is Anshan who is manipulating it.
Xie Xia said: "Hearing what the marshal said, I think that second young master is very suspicious."
"But the son is also very suspicious."
Xie Lanzhi didn't expect him to apply what he learned so quickly, she said: "Oh, tell me."
Xie Xia said: "The son is suspicious, he is too calm."
"It doesn't look like a brother who died at all."
"I suspect that he and the second son are in the same group."
As soon as these words came out, someone from the mansion walked in, just in time, and heard Xie Xia's words.
Across the door, Sitang's voice came coldly: "It turns out that my son has always been a cold-blooded and heartless person in the eyes of the general!"
Xie Xia: "..."
Xie Lanzhi saw Sitang coming in, he was still holding a pack of herbs in his hand, so he didn't wave his fan now.Si Tang came over and threw the herbs to Xie Xia.
"My lady entrusted me to bring this."
Xie Xia took the medicine, and he felt that Si Tang was even more suspicious.His wife wouldn't ask someone to deliver things casually.
Facing Xie Xia's suspicious eyes, Sitang smiled angrily: "General, you pack medicine."
"This son smells like an aphrodisiac."
Immediately counterattacked, Xie Xia blushed and put the herbs behind her back, mother, I almost forgot that my wife has been urging for a child recently, he is too busy with official duties and has no energy, even when he goes home, he is often unable to do what he wants.So it is possible that Madam prepared herbs for him.
Xie Lanzhi covered her lips and coughed in embarrassment: "The general must take care of himself."
Xie Xia quickly turned around and threw the herbs to the servants.
Sitang specially clasped his fists at Xie Lanzhi: "The pro-army from Tianjing, can you have a private talk with this eldest son?"
Xie Lanzhi's eyes flashed, and she nodded.
To avoid embarrassment, Xie Xia found a stool and sat down, pretending to drink tea, listening with his ears pricked up from time to time.
Si Tang said: "The day before yesterday, did the army's autopsy in the back hall find anything suspicious?"
"I did find a problem." Xie Lanzhi didn't hesitate, just confessed at this moment, Si Lei couldn't calm down now, and couldn't help the higher-ups at all.
The only person who can have a relationship with Si Hong is his elder brother Si Tang.
Sitang's pupils tightened, he pinched his fan, and said, "Dare to ask what is suspicious?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "Let's not say whether the second son is still alive or not. But the death of the second son has caused countless people to gather around the river to mourn, and a condolence almost made several Hu Huns escape."
"Hu Huns?" Si Tang asked, "What did they do?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "This is not important for the time being, the important thing is whether the Second Young Master is still alive, isn't it the most important thing for the eldest son?"
Si Tang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, he nodded: "My second brother should still be alive."
Si Tang recounted everything he knew about his second brother, including that he loves to be clean, and hates disheveled clothes the most, even if there is a small problem, he can't stand it.
Even though his figure was exactly the same as his second brother, he was still very suspicious. Before his second brother disappeared, he saw him go out wearing his favorite pair of black and gray boots.When the second brother's body came back, the pair of shoes were still clean, except for a hole.
It was that hole, and the hole in the stomach of the corpse, that made him realize that the second brother might still be alive.What followed was the suspicion that since the second brother was alive, why didn't he come back?
Why did he want to be with the water bandits?All kinds of doubts made Sitang have to doubt the relationship between his second brother and the water bandits.Even the kidnapping may have been directed and acted by him.
Si Tang thought about it, and his face turned pale: "What is he doing for?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "Why, maybe only you, the big brother, know."
She left the second son's question to Sitang, but Sitang still did not give up and asked: "If the second brother is being threatened...."
"Then he should find a way to get someone to contact you. There won't be any news." Whether it was a ransom, or the nanny's personal inspection, he had the opportunity to do so.
But Sihong didn't move.
She comforted: "Maybe we guessed wrong."
Si Tang suddenly shrugged his shoulders, he turned and left the mansion in a bit of a panic.
And Xie Ying.Xie Lanzhi couldn't help sighing: "Everyone is so worried."
Xie Xia got up and poured a cup of tea for her, and asked, "I checked that the civilian ship left from Donggang, and I heard that there were only two people, one old and one young."
As soon as the words came out.Xie Lanzhi immediately widened her eyes.
Xie Xia rubbed her head, not understanding why she made such an expression?
Xie Lanzhi put the teacup back in his hand, and she paced the hall with her hands behind her back. Finally, she frowned and said, "This is blatantly telling me that Xie Ying took him away."
"What? Could it be that the old man has something wrong?" Xie Xia was impatient: "If the old man has a problem, wouldn't Gou Ying be on a pirate ship? Why is she so stupid?!"
Xie Lanzhi said: "I don't know the identity of the old man, but the other party intends to warn me, and he took Xie Ying away."
As for whether she is stupid or not, she may not be. Her information is extremely limited, and she can only choose to take risks and take one step at a time through the only clues.
Presumably Xie Ying has already discovered the problem. She is not the kind of person who is slow to respond. Now that she has discovered the problem, she is probably already wary of the old man.
It's just that the old man brought her to Surabaya, Xie Ying's actions will be restrained, and there is another thing that makes Xie Lanzhi wonder why the old man cares so much about Xie Ying?
The camp hall in Surabaya.
Yang Gao inquired about Xie Ying's news from time to time: "Treasurer Qian, what's so special about the young man you brought this time?"
The old man has always been amiable and amiable since he entered the camp, and he seems to be a good-tempered person.Everyone is smiling.When Yang Gao asked suddenly, the old man's eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at Yang Gao calmly, and the two iron walnuts he held in his hand accelerated and fired out of thin air, hitting the head of the water bandit who was bringing tea and water. The tea fell to the ground, and the water bandit fell to the ground and lost his breath in an instant.
Yang Gao was so frightened that he stood up immediately, and he hurriedly said: "Master Qian, I didn't mean that, don't you know it."
"I'm just curious."
"It seems that you are very curious about the person I brought?" The old man regained his loving expression, his eyes narrowed into a smile: "The village master can do his job well."
"I shouldn't ask about anything else, it's better not to open my mouth."
The gentle tone contained a thick layer of warning.
Yang Gao felt his scalp go numb, and he didn't dare to ask, let alone look at him.He stood up and said, "I, I forgot that the village still has something to do."
"You rest here, if you have any orders, just say it."
Yang Gao stepped out of the gate just in time to meet Xie Ying, Xie Ying bowed to him, Yang Gao avoided her as if he had seen a ghost.
Xie Ying came to inquire with a puzzled face.When she stepped into the hall, the old man who was originally sullen suddenly became kind.
"coming."
Xie Ying looked at him suspiciously, then nodded.
He said: "Don't walk around, I will protect you."
"With me here, no one dares to think of you."
Xie Ying's face was full of doubts:?
Xintianjing's secret agents are very efficient in sending messages back and forth. Sometimes Xie Xia knows the news, and Si Qitong already knows it.
At this moment, Si Qitong received new information that the five Hu Huns who were arrested were just a cover, a cover-up.
Zhang Changle didn't know why his master was so concerned about Weidu's affairs, he just took care of things.
"Your Highness, what exactly was in the bag that Xie Ying took away?"
Si Qitong held up the tea tray, she glanced at her subordinates lightly: "Are you curious?"
Listening to the master's tone of no blame, Zhang Changle boldly asked: "Well, I think there are other better ways to arrest the other party, why do you have to send Xie Ying?"
"Now that Xie Ying is in the hands of the enemy, and her life and death are unknown, there is no guarantee that the marshal will lose a good general."
Si Qitong recalled that person's bold actions, and she sighed: "Marshal, like Ben Gong, likes to be thorough in everything, maybe he can go straight in with a single shot, but you haven't had contact with that person, so you don't know how cunning he is."
"Since the enemy is confidently staying under our noses, it means that he has already left behind."
"The most important thing right now is not to catch others, but to dig out the network behind him."
It's just that they didn't expect that when they wanted to catch An Shan, they discovered Weidu's tricks first.It's really a wave of ups and downs.
Zhang Changle said: "What is the marshal planning to do in the end?"
Si Qitong shook her head, she didn't know, but she could guess.Lanzhi's purpose is not only to catch Anshan, but also to do the opposite and strangle Aqina's deathbed.
Aqina has brought too many changes to this world, whether it is Yue Guowei's prestige, or those unknown small countries, how many people died because of his Xiaoyaowan family, and how many national properties were hollowed out by Anshan and moved to Hu... Hungary has become a military-owned manufacturing weapon.For the disaster of the world.
"The Yue Kingdom battle was not in vain. It curbed the spread of firearms to a certain extent." Si Qitong said: "But it also caused more problems, and more people who chased fame and fortune crowded their heads to participate in it."
Si Qitong saw it clearly.
After Xie Ying in the camp was monitored, her every move would be reported to the old man.
When Xie Ying was bored in the room, she thought of the bag that His Highness had given her. There was nothing His Highness asked someone to give the bag to her, so she didn't know what the bag was for?
"How about I take a look?" Xie Ying took out the kit from her bosom, and she took out a familiar piece of red paper and yellow talisman... from the pouch.
The author says:
I have been pressing chapters for the past two days, and I will continue to divide chapters tomorrow.
The text will be basically finished next month!

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
A spy in Weidu came to report Xie Ying's trace, but it was only yesterday.
The spies didn't see Xie Ying today, so they sent someone out to look for it, only to find that the thorn hadn't gone to the pier yesterday.I asked the manager of the pier, and the manager also said that she didn't even get paid and disappeared.
The secret agent and Xie Ying had a quarrel yesterday and did not pay close attention to Xie Ying. Unexpectedly, Xie Ying disappeared that day.
Xie Lanzhi ordered the spy to find Xie Ying first, while the others continued to stare at Weidu.
There is no specific news about Anshan, but the Hu Huns who are in charge of taking over have emerged.Other spies are still interrogating the captured Hu Huns.
Hu Xiong couldn't pry his mouth open no matter what, so Xie Lanzhi got a Tai Sui talisman from the spy, and on the back of the Tai Sui talisman, there was a familiar birth date.
Xie Lanzhi personally went to interrogate the Hu Huns and asked them: "Is the Tai Sui Talisman from Anshan?"
None of the five Hu Huns spoke. They were more afraid of the monster outside than torture and interrogation.
A spy said: "They have been refusing to tell."
Xie Lanzhi continued to ask them: "Why is his Tai Sui Talisman in your hands?"
"Hasn't Altu reminded him that he has to carry his Tai Sui Talisman with him?"
As soon as these words came out, one of the Hu Huns quickly looked up at her.
Xie Lanzhi picked this short Huxiong man and asked, "It's better to put something like Tai Sui Talisman next to your body, or put it under the pillow, isn't it?"
The Hu Hun immediately bowed his head.
She continued: "Altu never lost the Tai Sui talisman until his death."
"You can see how precious he is."
"So once someone doesn't want to wear this talisman, does it mean that Hua Tai Sui's deity doesn't want to take a certain responsibility."
Another Hu Hun couldn't help but look at her secretly.
Xie Lanzhi didn't mind revealing a little more information: "Altu said that sacrificing his life for the king is the thing he regrets the most."
Of course she made it up herself.
Unexpectedly, a Hu Hun with round arms reacted most violently.
His eyes widened, the corners of which were almost split open: "You are Xie Ying?!"
Xie Lanzhi walked up to this person, bent down and squatted down: "Altu, a dignified general, should end up on the battlefield, not die for him."
"In fact, he didn't die unjustly. He sacrificed for the king and dedicated himself to the king. In fact, he was willing."
At this moment, her tone changed, and her words changed abruptly: "But as the king's substitute, she only fought for three years of life for the king. After all, she is still a...very humble dog's life."
"It's no wonder the king still looks for Anshan in the end. It seems that Anshan is more valuable than Altu's dog's life."
This time the emotions of the five Hu Huns became agitated. Some of them stared and tried to stare at her to death, some struggled but were stepped on by spies, and some were in shock.
These people seem to know more or less about the substitutes, which means they are not ordinary Hu Huns.
How could ordinary people know about the substitute?And reacted so violently to her words.
Seeing that they couldn't hide their emotions and their mouths were still tightly covered, Xie Lanzhi knew that a few words would not be able to stimulate them.
Finally she said a few words to the spy.
Use Artur as a primer to pry their mouths open.
The spy nodded and asked Xie Lanzhi to leave first.
Xie Lanzhi returned to Xie Xia's mansion, and Xie Xia hurried over with his helmet in his arms.
"Marshal, there is another news from the water bandits. They just blocked the way and robbed a civilian ship."
Seeing Xie Xia put on the helmet, she planned to go there.
Xie Xia turned her head and said to her again: "By the way, Marshal, Gou Ying sent a letter yesterday, I was too busy yesterday and didn't pay attention."
"Do you see what she wrote?"
Xie Lanzhi opened the crumpled envelope, glanced at it, and said: "She has already gone to Surabaya by boat."
"What?" Xie Xia was very surprised, so didn't he miss the opportunity to bring Gou Ying back to the mansion yesterday?
Xie Xia thought that Gou Ying had the same virtues as her father, and he immediately became anxious: "Marshal, I'll go back as soon as I go!"
Xie Lanzhi didn't stop him, she went back to the mansion by herself, and put away the letter by the way.But she was curious in her heart, how did Xie Ying have the ability to escape the spy's surveillance?As a fledgling child of hers, she had never done any anti-reconnaissance operations, so it was naturally impossible to get rid of well-trained spies.
Could there be someone else by her side?
At the same time, the civilian boat to Surabaya was stopped by two boats as soon as it passed by. The water bandits rushed onto the civilian boat and found that there were only an old man and a young man in the cabin, and there were sweet potatoes and taro on board that were not worth much.
More than 20 water bandits immediately disliked the crude boat, so they wanted to kill him.
Unexpectedly, the old man was very arrogant and ordered the young man to do something to them.
The water bandits immediately laughed at their overreaching.But when the young man picked up the bamboo pole with his feet, he picked a water bandit into the water, the bamboo pole fell apart and the hull shook, and all the water bandits crowded in the civilian boat fell into the water.
A water bandit walked out of the reeds, and also cursed: "A broken ship can't solve it, and I want Lao Tzu to use such a precious cannon."
"Do you know how much a cannon is worth? It's worth 1000 taels, 1000 taels, and you let me deal with two people?"
The old man came out of the cabin, leaning on his crutches and standing on the armor, he said to the water bandits on the shore, "This man is right, a cannonball is not worth hitting our grandpa and grandson."
"It's the old man's grandson who offended everyone, please forgive me."
The water bandits soaked in the river wanted to take the opportunity to dive into the water to dig the boat, the old man immediately said: "Don't be impulsive, the master below, if it sinks, the old man will be angry."
"Even if your village master comes forward to intercede at that time, there will be no discussion."
The water bandits in the reed field heard that the old man's tone was calm and fearless, and he even mentioned their village master, so it's possible that he was an acquaintance of the village master.
He asked: "Dare to ask the old man's name?"
The old man replied kindly: "My surname is Qian, and my name is Qian Gui."
"Beside him is my grandson, Qian Tong." The old man pointed to the young man in shorts next to him.Xie Ying lowered her head at the right time, to be wary of the water bandits who fell into the water.
The water bandit in the reed field told the old man to wait, and by the way told his accomplice in the water to stay put until he figured out their identities.
Within a quarter of an hour, the water bandit turned back and hurriedly bowed to the old man: "So you are Mr. Qian. Our village master has been thinking of you all the time. I didn't expect that your personal visit would make Surabaya full of glory."
"I don't know what you are doing on the island?"
Immediately the water bandits let the gang go, and the old man said: "I have something important to see the village master."
The water bandit asked his accomplices to get out of the way, and when the old man's boat docked, he disembarked on crutches, his steady steps not shaking at all.Xie Ying lowered her head and followed him without saying a word.My heart was already surging.
Why did the old man know the water bandits? !
She was tricked by the old man.Xie Ying suddenly remembered that she was going to act alone yesterday, but was monitored by spies, and then the old man appeared and told her how to avoid it.At first she thought that the old man was a native of Weidu, so she knew the shortcuts in the streets and alleys to avoid surveillance.
Afterwards, she wanted to thank the old man, but unexpectedly, the old man asked her for help. He wanted to transport sweet potatoes and taro across Surabaya.
At first Xie Ying refused, because there were water bandits there, until the old man said: I brought you here this time because I want you to expose a conspiracy, that is, the second son is not dead.
"I'm the secret guard of the old prince. Just like the Xiwei of Tianjing, I'm working for the royal family. It's a pity that the people in Weidu are panic-stricken now, and they are all raised by the second son."
"The common people don't know that the person they are mourning for has long been eating food from inside out. The prince doesn't listen to the old man's words, and I see that you are not willing to be ordinary, young man. So go with the old man."
"Marshal Xie is investigating this matter?"
When Xie Ying heard these words, she decided to take a break.
Xie Ying was indeed betting right.The old man named Qian Gui was indeed not an ordinary person, but she didn't expect that the other party had a good relationship with the village owner in Surabaya. What kind of good thing could a guy who knew a thief be? !
Thinking of this, Xie Ying stared at Qian Gui closely.
Qian Gui calmly said, "What are you afraid of, just follow me."
Now that the matter has come to this point, it is impossible for Xie Ying to escape unharmed for the time being when she boarded the pirate ship.She could only grit her gums and silently beware of the bandits and the old man.
Seeing her full of vigilance, the old man said cheerfully: "The first time I met you on the boat, I thought you were not an ordinary person."
"The old man has said so many things, maybe you have already noticed something strange."
Xie Ying finally opened her mouth and said, "Grandpa is talking about selling rice instead of shipping?"
The old man said: "Tell me, why did the old man say that at the time? What did you notice?"
"There is nothing wrong with what you said." Xie Ying said, "It's a pity that what you are right is said by a person who was born in the common people."
She is also an ordinary person herself, and she knows that a ship is something that ordinary people can't imagine.She can't even afford it herself.
But the old man was full of amiability and made cakes for a group of energetic young people.
He himself is dressed plainly, and he can still tell the detailed water transportation process in Weidu.That in itself is suspicious.
It is understandable to say that the old man just kindly told a group of young people the way out, but the blame is that his instigation is more obvious than his encouragement.This is manifested in the fact that the old man personally calculated a clear account for the group of young people.
When Xie Ying was a young general, although she had never been in contact with water transportation, there was a famous businessman in the Xie family, Xie Fengqing. She and Xie Fengling were still friends. Every time Xie Fengling talked to her, she would complain. Everyone is planning carefully, and if they can earn a penny more, Xie Fengqing will never make a penny less.
It was precisely because she had been exposed to the people around her that Xie Ying discovered the problem at that time.
It was the group of young people who were fooled around, and even the old man pretended to fall because the two young people on the boat were arguing for him.Full of enthusiasm and good intentions, this person will use it if he says to use it.
Even if the old man made it easier for her.
Xie Ying was able to follow the old man because he had helped her during the search at the port. Now, she regretted it a little because she got into his thief's boat in a moment of soft-heartedness.
She still doesn't know what the other party's purpose is? !
Also, how did the old man know that the Marshal had also arrived in Weidu?Not even her.
The old man said: "Your observation is very keen. The old man has always had a good eye. I have already seen that you are not an ordinary person. It is just a moment of downfall."
As soon as he changed the subject, he chuckled again: "The tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs."
It's like mocking and laughing, but I don't know if it's for Xie Ying or myself.
Xie Ying held her breath and said nothing, the water bandits in front had already asked them to board a small boat, and the water bandits rowed from a small boat to the camp in Surabaya.
The camps were set up on both sides of the canyon. There were a number of wooden houses built with cross-bars in the flat ground, and there was a rickety wooden bridge in the middle. A group of people went ashore and walked across the rickety wooden bridge to the gate of the camp. Someone released two Basket down.
The old man and Xie Ying sat on the basket one after the other, and then Xie Ying landed on a wooden railing and found that behind the gate of the camp was suspended and below was a torrent of torrents.No wonder you don't go in through the door.The gate of the camp is a blindfold.
The village owner in Surabaya had a bald head and a scarred face. When he saw the old man, he rushed over to greet him: "Long time no see, Treasurer Qian. How are you coming?"
The old man exchanged pleasantries with the village master, and Xie Ying learned that the village master general Yang Gao.
Yang Gao seemed to be ingratiating himself with the old man, and finally chose the two best rooms for the old man and Xie Ying.
At night, Surabaya can't tell where the water is and the road is, and the water bandits here don't go out at night.
Xie Ying saw that the food in Surabaya was good, and it didn't look like she was short of money or food.She was puzzled by the 5000 million ransom proposed by the water bandits, and the second son is still alive?
The second son has already declared his death outside, so what is going on if he is still alive in private?
Seeing that she became the person closest to the truth, Xie Ying felt a little hesitant, but thinking of Qiqi, she quickly made a decision.How can you get tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's lair?
The old man did not come to look for Xie Ying during this period.When Xie Ying was bored, someone would follow her when she went out, and she didn't dare to run casually.When she came to a stable, she suddenly wondered when she saw the horses. Is there a place to run horses nearby?
It seems that the terrain of Surabaya is not as simple as it seems.
Soon Xie Ying was reminded by the water bandits not to wander around. Xie Ying had just turned back to her room. She lived on the second floor. As soon as she went upstairs, she heard someone throw a glass in the private room on the other side of the stairs, and then there was a big quarrel there.
"This is different from what I said at the beginning!"
"How can you go back on your word!"
"Who gave you the courage, you are dead now. You are no longer a second son, and you dare to be arrogant in front of me!"
The man shouted: "Presumptuous!"
Immediately, the private room became chaotic, and Xie Ying was pushed back to the room when she wanted to probe.
The old man entered the room behind and reminded her: "If you want to survive, you have to put your eyes in the right place."
"That person claims to be the Second Young Master." Xie Ying said, "He is still alive."
The old man said: "Do you want to know why the Second Young Master suspended his death?"
Xie Ying nodded.
The old man said: "This is the prince's family business."
"Second Young Master's fake death is not good for him." Xie Ying said: "If someone wants to kill him, they can do it at any time."
She didn't believe that the second son of the royal family who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth and was loved by all, would abandon his identity. There must be some reason why he had to do this?
The old man said: "People in this world are very greedy. Just tell them that there is a gold mine here, and that the gold mine will soon belong to someone else. Guess what they will do?"
Xie Ying watched him play tricks, and threw her one question after another, but didn't mention the part she wanted to know.She said nothing.
The old man pretended to be interested when he saw that she was clearly interested. He smiled and said, "Then the old man will clearly say one thing. The reason why I fell in love with you is because I know your identity."
"Your name is Xie Ying, and you are the eldest daughter of a former general."
Xie Ying's eyes immediately turned cold, she stared at the old man closely.
The old man said: "You were instructed to act alone."
Xie Ying quietly put her hands behind her back, she was already sweating nervously, the old man stopped irritating her, he said: "The Second Young Master's matter has nothing to do with your meritorious deeds, you just do what you should do."
"Who are you?" Xie Ying finally asked.Compared with the previous series of doubts, the identity of the old man became what she wanted to know most.
The old man said: "Qian Gui. This old man is called Qian Gui."
The entire Weidu was in an atmosphere of mourning, the ground floor was lit with incense, and another day of work began.
After Si Lei woke up, he sat on Si Hong's bed, hunched over, with a look of grief on his face.
The princess has been crying in the backyard, and he is in his son's room.
Xie Xia heard that Si Lei kept shutting himself in Si Hong's room without eating or drinking, so he came to persuade Si Lei.
Si Lei also looked listless when receiving him.
Xie Xia didn't understand the pain of his bereavement. People in high positions like them couldn't just care about themselves.Si Lei has not been in charge of Weidu's affairs for three days, and some people in Weidu have already started to slack off.
All checkpoints are now guarded by Mrs. Xie.
Xie Lanzhi followed behind Xie Xia, she looked at Sihong's room, it was relatively simple, the most royal, and the only most noble thing used was a diorama.
Xie Lanzhi was a little surprised when he saw the diorama. Could it be that there are already industrial prototypes on the other side of the sea?
When she walked to the mirror, Si Lei saw that he thought women were naturally interested in mirrors.
He said: "My Hong'er likes this mirror the most."
Xie Lanzhi bowed and bowed: "My lord, do you dare to ask where the mirror comes from?"
Si Lei glanced at her, Xie Xia quickly scolded her: "Bold, don't come here."
Si Lei quickly looked away, and he took a deep breath and said, "I'm from the four countries in the Southern Region. I heard that these mirrors are very popular there. They belong to Anluo Craft."
"An Luo is not a big or small fan country, nothing to worry about."
It is not worth mentioning now, but Anluo has always been the country that is most likely to make other countries suffer.Xie Lanzhi didn't say a word, he had already learned that An Luo's trade reached four countries in Southeast Asia.The four countries of Nanyang have already started to do business directly with Anluo country, but not at the end of Jin Dynasty, only indirect contact.
Xie Xia didn't know the Marshal's intentions, but he was more curious about another matter.
"My lord, have you ever thought about offending anyone outside?" Xie Xia said, "That's why the water bandits deliberately played with you when you were raising the ransom, and then killed the second young master?"
Speaking of the second son being killed, Si Lei became emotional immediately: "Who can this king offend? It's not like General Xie doesn't know the military strength in Weidu!"
Xie Xia said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking."
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Xie Lanzhi.Xie Lanzhi winked at him.
Xie Xia cooperated and said: "The general's personal guard has experienced the body of the second son, and she has a new discovery."
"Maybe the second son..."
As soon as these words came out, Si Lei immediately stood up, he was surprised and very angry.Now he can't calm down, he has regarded the condolences outside as normal, and feels that his son is dead.Now that there was a different voice, his first reaction was anger. Why was he angry? Xie Xia asked for an autopsy to find something different. Wasn't he slapping him in the face as a father, saying that he couldn't even recognize his son's body?
He said: "You don't have to doubt, that corpse belongs to Hong'er! I am his father, can I not compare to you outsiders?"
Xie Lanzhi cupped her fists and said, "My lord, the general did it out of good intentions, not..."
Si Lei interrupted her, he shook his sleeves at them: "Come here, see off the guests!"
Si Lei couldn't calm down because of the pain of losing his son, but Xie Lanzhi could understand, she and Xie Xia left the palace.
On the way, Xie Xia walked ahead and couldn't help thinking: "He doesn't seem like a person who understands his son at all."
"Marshal, do you see anything?"
Xie Lanzhi thought of the diorama in Si Hong's room, she said: "This son of his has very long arms, longer than his father's."
Seeing that Xie Xia was confused.She continued: "The simplicity of the room shows that Sihong himself does not pay attention to material enjoyment, saying that he stretches out his hands, and he himself manages the treasury for profit. A businessman's nature is to do whatever it takes to make a profit."
"Marshal means that Sihong's business has already reached the four countries in Nanyang, and Si Lei looks down on the four countries in Nanyang, so naturally he doesn't ask." Xie Xia followed her way of thinking and analyzed: "The trade of the four countries in Nanyang can only be done by Si Lei. Macro reported it himself."
As for the reported data, it is impossible for Si Lei not to believe it because of his own son.
In this way, we can speculate further.
Xie Lanzhi said: "Suppose, I said that if Si Hong didn't die but hid it deliberately, do you think it is possible?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Xia's eyes widened.He didn't understand that the second son of the royal family would not enjoy the glory and wealth and cooperate with a bunch of water bandits?What good could he do?Could it be compared to his current life?
"Then what is he for?"
Xie Lanzhi thought of a certain possibility, her eyes were terrifyingly calm, and she even smiled slightly: "In troubled times, there are more important things than money."
"A person who is used to prosperity and wealth, no matter how much money he asks for, his own enjoyment will be limited, but fame and fame are different."
"Whether Sihong has this ability, I don't know, but as long as he has ambition, there will be a day when he will be inspired."
Maybe the other party has already arranged it sneakily.
If someone told him at this time, where is the road, how should he go?
Then a gamble begins.
Xie Xia still couldn't believe it. The marshal was so amazing that with the decoration of the room, could the autopsy be able to dig out so many secrets?
Seeing his amazed look, Xie Lanzhi couldn't help frowning and said, "I've had contact with An Shan before."
Although it was just a trick set by An Shan, An Shan's methods had been deeply engraved in her mind.Now he is just using some methods in Weidu again.
The terrain of Weidu is convenient, but traffic control is not strict, so it is easy for fish to slip through the net.
Now Anshan has not moved. The Hu Huns who had contacted him fell into the hands of spies, and his whereabouts have not been found yet.But it's also a matter of time.
The two returned to the mansion.
Xie Lanzhi told Xie Xia about the methods An Shan had always used to set a pattern.
Xie Xia knew how to take notes in a notebook at first.
Until he heard the marshal say: "An Shan likes to create public opinion to incite people's hearts, and then take advantage of the chaos to act. At the beginning he..."
She told Xie Xia one by one about Anshan inciting the Hu people to cut off the water source with the water merchants, creating panic and alienation, and Xie Ji burning the camp.All of An Shan's methods caused huge losses, and the Xie Group was fooled around. In the end, Xie Ji looked for An Shan for a long time, and found that the eyeliner arranged by the other party was by his side.
An Shan even placed Su Ha's legacy under Li Li's nose, playing with the entire upper class in applause.
Xie Xia was terrified when she heard this, and quickly looked at Xie Lanzhi to identify her authenticity.
Xie Lanzhi said: "Even you think this person is scary, don't you?"
"In the final analysis, what Anshan is best at is playing with people's hearts."
People in Weidu are now mourning everywhere, regardless of the occasion, and it is Anshan who is manipulating it.
Xie Xia said: "Hearing what the marshal said, I think that second young master is very suspicious."
"But the son is also very suspicious."
Xie Lanzhi didn't expect him to apply what he learned so quickly, she said: "Oh, tell me."
Xie Xia said: "The son is suspicious, he is too calm."
"It doesn't look like a brother who died at all."
"I suspect that he and the second son are in the same group."
As soon as these words came out, someone from the mansion walked in, just in time, and heard Xie Xia's words.
Across the door, Sitang's voice came coldly: "It turns out that my son has always been a cold-blooded and heartless person in the eyes of the general!"
Xie Xia: "..."
Xie Lanzhi saw Sitang coming in, he was still holding a pack of herbs in his hand, so he didn't wave his fan now.Si Tang came over and threw the herbs to Xie Xia.
"My lady entrusted me to bring this."
Xie Xia took the medicine, and he felt that Si Tang was even more suspicious.His wife wouldn't ask someone to deliver things casually.
Facing Xie Xia's suspicious eyes, Sitang smiled angrily: "General, you pack medicine."
"This son smells like an aphrodisiac."
Immediately counterattacked, Xie Xia blushed and put the herbs behind her back, mother, I almost forgot that my wife has been urging for a child recently, he is too busy with official duties and has no energy, even when he goes home, he is often unable to do what he wants.So it is possible that Madam prepared herbs for him.
Xie Lanzhi covered her lips and coughed in embarrassment: "The general must take care of himself."
Xie Xia quickly turned around and threw the herbs to the servants.
Sitang specially clasped his fists at Xie Lanzhi: "The pro-army from Tianjing, can you have a private talk with this eldest son?"
Xie Lanzhi's eyes flashed, and she nodded.
To avoid embarrassment, Xie Xia found a stool and sat down, pretending to drink tea, listening with his ears pricked up from time to time.
Si Tang said: "The day before yesterday, did the army's autopsy in the back hall find anything suspicious?"
"I did find a problem." Xie Lanzhi didn't hesitate, just confessed at this moment, Si Lei couldn't calm down now, and couldn't help the higher-ups at all.
The only person who can have a relationship with Si Hong is his elder brother Si Tang.
Sitang's pupils tightened, he pinched his fan, and said, "Dare to ask what is suspicious?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "Let's not say whether the second son is still alive or not. But the death of the second son has caused countless people to gather around the river to mourn, and a condolence almost made several Hu Huns escape."
"Hu Huns?" Si Tang asked, "What did they do?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "This is not important for the time being, the important thing is whether the Second Young Master is still alive, isn't it the most important thing for the eldest son?"
Si Tang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, he nodded: "My second brother should still be alive."
Si Tang recounted everything he knew about his second brother, including that he loves to be clean, and hates disheveled clothes the most, even if there is a small problem, he can't stand it.
Even though his figure was exactly the same as his second brother, he was still very suspicious. Before his second brother disappeared, he saw him go out wearing his favorite pair of black and gray boots.When the second brother's body came back, the pair of shoes were still clean, except for a hole.
It was that hole, and the hole in the stomach of the corpse, that made him realize that the second brother might still be alive.What followed was the suspicion that since the second brother was alive, why didn't he come back?
Why did he want to be with the water bandits?All kinds of doubts made Sitang have to doubt the relationship between his second brother and the water bandits.Even the kidnapping may have been directed and acted by him.
Si Tang thought about it, and his face turned pale: "What is he doing for?"
Xie Lanzhi said: "Why, maybe only you, the big brother, know."
She left the second son's question to Sitang, but Sitang still did not give up and asked: "If the second brother is being threatened...."
"Then he should find a way to get someone to contact you. There won't be any news." Whether it was a ransom, or the nanny's personal inspection, he had the opportunity to do so.
But Sihong didn't move.
She comforted: "Maybe we guessed wrong."
Si Tang suddenly shrugged his shoulders, he turned and left the mansion in a bit of a panic.
And Xie Ying.Xie Lanzhi couldn't help sighing: "Everyone is so worried."
Xie Xia got up and poured a cup of tea for her, and asked, "I checked that the civilian ship left from Donggang, and I heard that there were only two people, one old and one young."
As soon as the words came out.Xie Lanzhi immediately widened her eyes.
Xie Xia rubbed her head, not understanding why she made such an expression?
Xie Lanzhi put the teacup back in his hand, and she paced the hall with her hands behind her back. Finally, she frowned and said, "This is blatantly telling me that Xie Ying took him away."
"What? Could it be that the old man has something wrong?" Xie Xia was impatient: "If the old man has a problem, wouldn't Gou Ying be on a pirate ship? Why is she so stupid?!"
Xie Lanzhi said: "I don't know the identity of the old man, but the other party intends to warn me, and he took Xie Ying away."
As for whether she is stupid or not, she may not be. Her information is extremely limited, and she can only choose to take risks and take one step at a time through the only clues.
Presumably Xie Ying has already discovered the problem. She is not the kind of person who is slow to respond. Now that she has discovered the problem, she is probably already wary of the old man.
It's just that the old man brought her to Surabaya, Xie Ying's actions will be restrained, and there is another thing that makes Xie Lanzhi wonder why the old man cares so much about Xie Ying?
The camp hall in Surabaya.
Yang Gao inquired about Xie Ying's news from time to time: "Treasurer Qian, what's so special about the young man you brought this time?"
The old man has always been amiable and amiable since he entered the camp, and he seems to be a good-tempered person.Everyone is smiling.When Yang Gao asked suddenly, the old man's eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at Yang Gao calmly, and the two iron walnuts he held in his hand accelerated and fired out of thin air, hitting the head of the water bandit who was bringing tea and water. The tea fell to the ground, and the water bandit fell to the ground and lost his breath in an instant.
Yang Gao was so frightened that he stood up immediately, and he hurriedly said: "Master Qian, I didn't mean that, don't you know it."
"I'm just curious."
"It seems that you are very curious about the person I brought?" The old man regained his loving expression, his eyes narrowed into a smile: "The village master can do his job well."
"I shouldn't ask about anything else, it's better not to open my mouth."
The gentle tone contained a thick layer of warning.
Yang Gao felt his scalp go numb, and he didn't dare to ask, let alone look at him.He stood up and said, "I, I forgot that the village still has something to do."
"You rest here, if you have any orders, just say it."
Yang Gao stepped out of the gate just in time to meet Xie Ying, Xie Ying bowed to him, Yang Gao avoided her as if he had seen a ghost.
Xie Ying came to inquire with a puzzled face.When she stepped into the hall, the old man who was originally sullen suddenly became kind.
"coming."
Xie Ying looked at him suspiciously, then nodded.
He said: "Don't walk around, I will protect you."
"With me here, no one dares to think of you."
Xie Ying's face was full of doubts:?
Xintianjing's secret agents are very efficient in sending messages back and forth. Sometimes Xie Xia knows the news, and Si Qitong already knows it.
At this moment, Si Qitong received new information that the five Hu Huns who were arrested were just a cover, a cover-up.
Zhang Changle didn't know why his master was so concerned about Weidu's affairs, he just took care of things.
"Your Highness, what exactly was in the bag that Xie Ying took away?"
Si Qitong held up the tea tray, she glanced at her subordinates lightly: "Are you curious?"
Listening to the master's tone of no blame, Zhang Changle boldly asked: "Well, I think there are other better ways to arrest the other party, why do you have to send Xie Ying?"
"Now that Xie Ying is in the hands of the enemy, and her life and death are unknown, there is no guarantee that the marshal will lose a good general."
Si Qitong recalled that person's bold actions, and she sighed: "Marshal, like Ben Gong, likes to be thorough in everything, maybe he can go straight in with a single shot, but you haven't had contact with that person, so you don't know how cunning he is."
"Since the enemy is confidently staying under our noses, it means that he has already left behind."
"The most important thing right now is not to catch others, but to dig out the network behind him."
It's just that they didn't expect that when they wanted to catch An Shan, they discovered Weidu's tricks first.It's really a wave of ups and downs.
Zhang Changle said: "What is the marshal planning to do in the end?"
Si Qitong shook her head, she didn't know, but she could guess.Lanzhi's purpose is not only to catch Anshan, but also to do the opposite and strangle Aqina's deathbed.
Aqina has brought too many changes to this world, whether it is Yue Guowei's prestige, or those unknown small countries, how many people died because of his Xiaoyaowan family, and how many national properties were hollowed out by Anshan and moved to Hu... Hungary has become a military-owned manufacturing weapon.For the disaster of the world.
"The Yue Kingdom battle was not in vain. It curbed the spread of firearms to a certain extent." Si Qitong said: "But it also caused more problems, and more people who chased fame and fortune crowded their heads to participate in it."
Si Qitong saw it clearly.
After Xie Ying in the camp was monitored, her every move would be reported to the old man.
When Xie Ying was bored in the room, she thought of the bag that His Highness had given her. There was nothing His Highness asked someone to give the bag to her, so she didn't know what the bag was for?
"How about I take a look?" Xie Ying took out the kit from her bosom, and she took out a familiar piece of red paper and yellow talisman... from the pouch.
