"Don't be in a hurry, wait for the new news, and then make a decision before it's too late!"
Chen Yuntai is a small flag officer, and he is in charge of nine captains. He relies entirely on these people to do his work, so he must appease his subordinates.
So he went on to say: "Since we have put out such a long line, we must catch a big fish and let our brothers reach a higher level. Don't panic at this time!"
"The bigger the case, the bigger the credit, the bigger the reward. Maybe some of you will be promoted!"
When leaders all have common skills, the first one is drawing cakes, and Chen Yuntai is already a master at it.
"By the way, General Liu Qi just ordered us to dig up a few Japanese cases. Three cases will be found within ten days. Please think of a way to do this!"
That's right, Chen Yuntai reported one more crime just to put pressure on his subordinates.
"Sir, ten days... I'm afraid it's too late!" The captain hesitated.
Sitting on the chair, Chen Yuntai picked up the tea cup and said slowly: "Yingtian Mansion is so big, and there are so many different religions and schools, are you afraid that you won't be able to detect the Japanese traitors?"
"This... subordinate understands!"
After the explanation, the captain immediately went to arrange things, while Chen Yuntai sat back on his chair.
As a small flag officer, Chen Yuntai has more than nine captains under his command, because each captain also has several "servants", all of whom are idle people in the market.
Even though there are more than thirty people at his disposal, Chen Yuntai still feels that there are not enough people, all because of backward communication methods.
News was conveyed entirely by manpower, and the fastest means of transportation was horses, or sometimes even legs.
Looking through the "information" stacked on the table, Chen Yuntai quickly got into work mode.
As a small flag officer, he does not need to go out. His main task is to analyze the collected intelligence and extract useful clues to report.
This kind of work is actually boring, and time flies by very quickly.
About half an hour later, there were rapid footsteps outside the duty room, and a school captain pushed the door open and entered.
"Sir, there is a situation..."
"What's going on?" Chen Yuntai put down his pen and asked.
"Sir, the few people who left Liujiazhuang met up with another group of people in Dahuai Town, and the latter seemed to... bring their guys with them!"
"What? Brought guys? How many of them are there now?"
The captain replied: "Dahuai Town should be the place they agreed upon, but there are more than thirty people gathered in this small mountain col!"
The backbone of the White Lotus Sect gathered more than thirty people, and they also brought weapons...
What are they going to do? Chen Yuntai was puzzled.
"Is there any military ration escort recently? Is it passing through Yingtian?"
"We sent dozens of ships a few days ago, but there seems to be none today!"
Nodding, Chen Yuntai said slowly: "Yesterday, the captain of Yingtian Mansion reported that a new batch of military rations will arrive in three days. The Qianhu Guard Station sent 300 sergeants to escort them. These rebels will not be watching after three days. Bar?"
The captain analyzed calmly: "Sir, let alone thirty of these rebels, even if there are three hundred of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat the escorting sergeants!"
In fact, in addition to the military personnel guarding the Qianhu Station, the military supplies would also be dispatched to the counties passing by, and the number of escorts would be more than 300.
"Then what do they want to do?" Chen Yuntai frowned.
Although there are many White Lotus believers, there are not many die-hard believers. There are probably only a few hundred people in Jinling in the whole of Jinling. Dozens or even hundreds of them are definitely stretching their laurels.
"It's a detour of dozens of miles, running from south to north. Further north is the Yangtze River. Even if they want to rob the army, they don't have a boat..." the captain muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Chen Yuntai seemed to have grasped the key point.
"My subordinates said they don't have a boat..."
"The previous sentence!"
“Further north is the Yangtze River.”
"Yes, north, they are heading north!" Chen Yuntai got up from his chair and made a bold guess in his mind.
"Sir, what about going north?"
Chen Yuntai said in a deep voice: "Today, the Thirteenth Master went on a patrol with his bodyguards in plain clothes!"
The captain reacted quickly and said immediately: "What your Lord means is that these White Lotus Sect rebels are going after the Thirteenth Master!"
"No wonder they sent out so many people, no wonder they brought weapons, this..."
The more Chen Yuntai talked about it, the more excited he became. He saw hope in it, the hope of reaching the sky in one step.
"Sir, this matter should be reported immediately. If something happens to the Thirteenth Master, our Qianhu Office will not be able to reap the benefits!" The captain's voice was trembling.
If Zhu Jinghong is really good, the official will definitely die, and even his whole family will die.
I'm afraid the following minions will also end up in exile. The current emperor's character is really capable of such a thing.
"Yes, you must report it immediately, you must report it immediately!"
After saying this, Chen Yuntai turned around and rushed out of the check-in room, running towards the depths of Qianhu House.
"Yuntai, what are you so nervous about?" The person asking the question was a member of the household, but he was not Chen Yuntai's direct superior.
"Sir, I have important matters in my humble position. Please report them to Lord Qianhu!"
"Report to Lord Qianhu? You are just a small flag officer. What important matter is worth being so anxious about?"
On the small flag is the general flag, then the 100 households, then the deputy 1000 households and 1000 households.
Even if it was reported to Deputy Qianhu, Chen Yuntai had to report it to three levels in a row, which is a taboo in official circles.
"Sir, the matter is urgent, and I can't take too much care of my humble position!"
After saying that, Chen Yuntai continued to rush in, causing the hundreds of households behind him to look cold.
"If you focus on climbing higher, you simply don't know how high the sky is and how high it is!"
However, no matter what these hundreds of households said, Chen Yuntai had already made up his mind to convey the news to Li Wenzhao personally.
If it were reported normally and the credit was divided level by level, what else would he get when it was his turn?
At this moment, deep inside the Thousand Households, Li Wenzhao was in the side hall, discussing matters with the Taiping Hundreds of Chizhou Houses, and strictly ordered the two of them to stay within their jurisdiction to prevent thieves from attacking the grain transport team.
Two hundred households were analyzing the situation when suddenly there was a noise outside, which made Li Wenzhao frown and look outside.
"What's going on?" Li Wenzhao asked in a deep voice.
A few breaths later, a school captain rushed in and reported: "Master Qianhu, Chen Yuntai, the flag officer of Baihu Station, said that he has something important to report!"
"Chen Yuntai?"
Obviously, the name Li Wenzhao is not familiar to him, because there are hundreds of small banner officials in the Qianhu Office in Jinling, and there are more than thirty people under the direct jurisdiction of the Qianhu Office alone.
On weekdays, Li Wenzhao often interacted with hundreds of households, and rarely even received the general banner, let alone the small banner officials.
"Tell him to come in!"
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Li Wenzhao plans to listen to what the other party has to say. If there are any exaggerations, he will severely punish them.
After a while, Chen Yuntai walked into the side hall, then knelt on one knee and saluted Li Wenzhao.
"I'm here to see you, Lord Qianhu!"
"Tell me what's going on!" Li Wenzhao picked up the tea cup.
"Sir Qianhu, my subordinates have found out that the White Lotus Sect is a traitor and wants to harm the Thirteenth Master!"
For a moment, Li Wenzhao almost couldn't hold the tea cup steady. He immediately stood up and asked, "How did you know that?"
Not to mention Li Wenzhao, even the two hundred households on the left and right had their eyes widened at this moment, and their shock was palpable.
"I found out half a month ago..."
After recounting the previous situation, Chen Yuntai finally analyzed: "Dozens of die-hards of the White Lotus Sect went north with weapons. I learned from my humble position that the Thirteenth Master was incognito today and also went north with his bodyguards!"
"North of Yingtian, there is no military food or ammunition escort today. I think..."
"Do you think these people are going after Master Thirteen?" Li Wenzhao asked with a livid face.
"Exactly!"
"What do you think?" Li Wenzhao asked two hundred households.
One of the hundreds of households said in a trembling voice: "Sir, whether it's true or not, we can't afford to bet!"
