Su Hui left the palace and went straight to the military guard camp in the west of the city. He was not idle on the way and issued several orders in succession.
Following the issuance of his order, an invisible dark network that had been deployed long ago, covering every corner of the imperial capital, but had never been activated, was quickly activated and put into operation.
This is Su Hui's own net. He named it "Luowen", which means a heavenly and earthly net that can't escape anything.
It is too easy to find a hidden corner to hide in the Imperial Capital, a huge ancient city that covers an area of 15 million acres and has a permanent population of more than 3 million.
But it would be too difficult to find a few people who are deliberately hiding here. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, there is a powerful organization in the imperial capital that can do this, and that is the six gates under the direct jurisdiction of Su Hanlin.
However, Su Hanlin did not allow Su Hui to use the power of the six doors, so if he wanted to find the thief who stole the meal in the shortest possible time, he would have to use his own snare.
However, the information from the snare alone was not enough. He also needed the manpower to capture the thieves and capture the people, so he came to the Wuwei camp.
Wuwei Camp was a camp given to him by Su Hanlin for him to train private guards. This was the privilege of the prince. Princes in all dynasties had such a private camp. The difference was the number of troops allowed by the emperor.
Su Hanlin allowed Su Hui to recruit 8,000 guards, but was strongly opposed by many ministers. They bluntly said that 8,000 guards could threaten the emperor's safety. Some people even warned Su Hanlin that Wei Zihuan led 500 private guards to open the city gate.
Su Hui did not put Su Hanlin in trouble and voluntarily reduced the number of guards. Using the previous prince as a reference, under the pleased gazes of the ministers, he only had 3,000 soldiers.
Moreover, three thousand is just three thousand, and Su Hui never recruited an additional soldier. This made those who had been staring at Wuwei camp, waiting for him to make a mistake and catch his pigtails both angry and unwilling.
Although there are only three thousand soldiers, each one of them is one of a thousand arrogant generals, possessing the courage to be invincible.
"Jiang Han, obey the order!"
As soon as he arrived at Wuwei camp, Su Hui immediately gave orders.
"General, obey the order!" A man in helmet and armor hurried forward, lifted his robe and knelt down to obey the order.
His name is Jiang Han, he is thirty-six years old. He graduated from Taiping Academy. He was valued by Su Hui and recruited into Wuwei camp. He is now the commander of Wuwei camp.
"Order three thousand soldiers to put on armor and mount their horses, and obey my orders at any time!" Su Hui ordered.
"No!" Jiang Han took the order and left.
"Master, do you want to eat something first?" Dong Rong, the personal eunuch, whispered in Su Hui's ear. Su Hui's state worried him.
Su Hui frowned.
His empty stomach made him want to nod immediately, but it was really inappropriate to think that his younger brothers and sisters were still starving in Dongqing Hall, while he was eating and drinking here.
"Master, if you collapse from hunger, no one will be able to save your highnesses in the Dongqing Palace." Dong Rong thoughtfully gave Su Hui a reason to eat.
Su Hui relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "That makes sense. But as for the food, let's wait until the thief is caught and the fasting punishment of the brothers and sisters is lifted, and then we can eat it with everyone. It is lively and can enhance the relationship. You go and prepare some heat. Water, I have to take a bath and change clothes, and later I will lead the troops to capture the thief, but I must not lose the royal face."
"Yes." Dongrong accepted the order.
After bathing, changing clothes, and tidying up, the embarrassed Su Hui returned to his previous dignified state.
Dongrong was very smart and added many elixirs to nourish the body into the bath water, which greatly relieved Su Hui's tired body and greatly restored the lack of true energy.
Su Hui was sitting on the tiger leather chair in the meeting hall, his tiger eyes were shining, and he was staring in the direction of the door with a serious expression.
He was waiting for the information from the snare to come.
This was the first task after the net was launched. Although Su Hui had confidence in the net, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. He was afraid that this huge net, which cost him countless efforts, manpower and material resources to build, would not be used by Zhang Zhong in the end. of broken net.
"Dong Rong, how long has it been since my order was issued?" Su Hui began to get anxious when news of the missing trap came.
"It's been half an hour since I got back to my master," Dongrong replied.
Su Hui frowned slightly, with a look of displeasure on his face, but he was still more nervous and uneasy. Unexpectedly, he grabbed the handle of the chair with both hands, and his fingers were almost dug into the wood, and his palms felt even earlier. Just full of sweat.
"Report!"
"There is information about the snare. Please read it, my lord."
Luo Wen did not disappoint Su Wei in the end. Not long after he frowned, Jiang Han came to report with the information from Luo Wen.
"Send it up."
Su Hui looked overjoyed and couldn't wait to take the cowhide envelope presented to him by Jiang Han. After checking that the vermillion seal was intact, he tore off the vermillion paint and opened the envelope, taking out a dozen thick pieces of paper.
The top nine pictures are all sketches and portraits, and they are none other than Zhang Xiaozu.
If the nine Zhang Xiaozhu were here, they would probably be shocked and praise the artist's wonderful brushwork for making them so lifelike, as if they were alive.
"Zhou Jianlai, Niu Dawa, Zhang Xiaopeng, Yuan Taiping, Bi Shuang, Xu You, Peng Fugui, Taishu Shan - oh, there is also a girl, Yan Qinyin, her name is quite nice."
Su Hui looked at the portraits of the nine people one by one, then picked up the paper at the back. After just one glance, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "At eight o'clock this morning, I will enter the city with the honor guard of the consort and the eldest princess. When we arrived at the intersection of Changchun Road and Qingsong Road, we split off and went straight to Wufu Restaurant. It was obviously the elder sister who instigated it, but she still pretended to be innocent and refused to admit it. When I catch these nine thieves, I will throw them in front of you. What else do you have to say?"
After saying that, he smiled bitterly and shook his head again, because he said that it was his eldest sister who instigated it, but in his heart, it was like a mirror. The real instigator was his father, but it was his eldest sister who had to take the blame.
"Yan Qinyin left Wufu Restaurant first and hid in the slums. Ha, this woman is smart."
Su Hui sneered and said: "The slums are a mixed bag, with people from all walks of life and religions. The most disobedient ones are the most disobedient. The alleys are rugged and extend in all directions, and are more complicated than a spider web. It is definitely the best place to avoid pursuit. But -"
Su Hui curled up his lips and said with a smile: "It's easy to hide people in the slums, and it's easy to find them, as long as you have money. Order Ding Si to lead five hundred people to catch this woman in the slums. Take a thousand taels of silver and go to the beggar's den to find the old man. Beggars help.”
After saying that, he picked up the intelligence paper and looked down, saying: "Dozens of government officials went to arrest the remaining eight people, but in the end they didn't even touch the corners of their clothes. No wonder the eldest sister gave special instructions, saying that these people If you cultivate for the sake of success, it will come true."
"Bishuang fled to Wanfu Street."
"Order Chen Shuang to lead five hundred people to Wanfu Street to capture this person."
"Xu You and Peng Fugui—these two seemed to be in a good mood. They actually entered the Huanyue Building on Zhaocai Street to have a drink with a girl."
"Order Wu Zhe to lead five hundred people to Huanyue Tower to catch people."
"Tai Shushan fled to Changxian Street and ordered Fang Bei to lead two hundred people to capture this person."
"Zhou Jianlai and Niu Dawa, these two people actually entered Wanjiange Pavilion." Su Hui couldn't help frowning and said in deep thought: "Don't break into Wanjiange Pavilion by force. When I get a letter from the king, please ask the deacon of Wanjiange Pavilion to drive these two people out. . He ordered Xu Qiu and Guan Hu to lead 500 people to wait at the gate of Wanjiang Pavilion, and capture them on the street when they came out. Let them be alert, this Niu Dawa is very likely to possess the power of space, and his attainments are extraordinary. .”
"The remaining two, Zhang Xiaozu and Yuan Taiping, last appeared in Shengen Square, and they most likely got into Taiping Academy."
Su Hui frowned again. Taiping College was a place not covered by the net. Not only the net, but also the six gates could not place spies in Taiping College.
Su Hanlin explicitly prohibited any imperial institution or any plutocratic force from putting their hands into Taiping College. Taiping College was only Taiping College, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed without mercy.
Naturally, Su Hui would not be stupid enough to let Luo Wang challenge what the six gates did not dare to do, so when he saw in the intelligence that Zhang Xiaozu and Yuan Taiping had probably sneaked into Taiping Academy, he couldn't help but get into trouble.
Su Hui pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Dong Rong, prepare a gift. I am going to the academy to visit my mentor."
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Han and said with a smile: "You haven't gone back since you came out of the academy. Go change into light clothes and come with me. I heard from my fifteenth brother that your story is still spread in the academy. It’s a legend.”
"My lord is making fun of you." Jiang Han responded.
Su Hui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't dare to make fun of the man who climbed to the top of Wusheng Tower."
As he said that, a look of guilt appeared on Su Hui's face, and he sighed: "Jiang Han, to be honest, you have followed me all these years and can only stay in this three-inch area of Wuwei Camp. I have really wronged you. I have wronged you." If you were talented enough to join the army, you would surely be a general commanding the three armies by now."
When Jiang Han heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Su Hui and said in fear: "The Lord's words have devastated the general. Since the day he swore allegiance to the Lord, the general has handed over this despicable body to the Lord. In this life, only the Lord will follow his lead. He will go through fire and water without hesitation. Even if he stays in a horse pen, he will be willing to do so."
"Okay, I have indeed seen the right person." Su Hui was in a happy mood. He quickly stepped forward to help Jiang Han, patted him heavily on the shoulder and said, "Let the soldiers use all their hidden skills." Come out, we not only have to complete the task beautifully this time, but we also have to show our dignity in front of others and let the entire imperial capital know how powerful this king is. Jiang Han, from today on, we no longer need to hide and tuck in. Together with the second prince and The battle between the fifth prince and the eighth prince has begun, and I will beat them all to the ground and make them surrender willingly."
"Congratulations to the Lord, the trapped dragon ascended to heaven."
"Ha ha--"
………
Taiping Academy is so big that Zhang Xiaozu and Yuan Taiping almost got lost while walking around.
If students wearing college uniforms hadn't passed by them from time to time, they would have doubted whether they were still in the college.
The two walked along a bluestone path, through a deep pine forest, and arrived in front of the Wusheng Tower.
