In the darkness of the night, Su Ziji was sitting in the tent as he had people clearing away the remains of the banquet, resting his face on one hand and flipping through his travel notes.
But in fact, I didn't really look into it, but I was waiting for someone.
"Mr. Su, my father-in-law is here."
With this sound, Su Ziji knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
"I'm waiting for my father-in-law to come over." Inspector Zhao saw Su Ziji standing in front of him after opening the curtain and looking at him with a smile.
As expected, Su Ziji not only did not look sick, but was also very calm.
"Our family knows that you must have your own plans. Tell me, do you need our help?" Inspector Zhao entered the tent without saying anything, followed by two people. The young eunuch stood at the tent. He looked outside through the gap, checking for movement.
One person was not a eunuch, but a military attache in military uniform.
Before Su Ziji spoke, he glanced at this man subconsciously. Seeing Inspector Zhao's expression, he knew that although this man was a military attaché, he was someone whom Inspector Zhao could trust.
In this case, the person who Inspector Zhao can trust is naturally the person Su Ziji can trust.
Because the goals are the same, there will be no conflicts of interest for the time being.
Time was tight, and Inspector Zhao must have been unable to stay in a tent for a long time in the name of inspection. Su Ziji got straight to the point and said, "My people have found out a piece of information. There is a cavalry team here in the southwest doing business with the village in private, and even in our After arriving, we still sent a batch of goods into the mountain."
"If these arrogant and profit-seeking people are not eliminated, I'm afraid they will hinder the war. I would like to borrow some manpower from you, father-in-law, and we will take action tonight to eradicate these cavalry teams."
Inspector Zhao's heart trembled. The information Su Ziji said should not be underestimated.
In the war, businessmen are now delivering goods into the mountains for the sake of huge profits. At critical moments, they may even become the party leading the way.
The cavalry that can enter the mountains not only know the conditions in the mountains, because they live outside the mountains and do business with others, but they also know the southwest!
The enemy chiefs were driven into a panic and offered heavy profits. They coerced and lured these merchants who had cooperated with them for a long time. They may not dare to stab the Southwest Army.
Because of the affairs in the southwest, the emperor had a few more gray hairs, and he was looking forward to ending the war here as soon as possible. As a member of the royal family, Inspector Zhao naturally hated people like this who only care about profit.
Not to mention intending to help Su Ziji, even if he didn't have the identity level, Supervisor Zhao would not let these cavalry teams go unchecked. Once he got the news, he would also eradicate them immediately.
"Okay! I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry, Mr. Su. If it succeeds, our family will definitely report your contribution to the emperor!" Inspector Zhao said, first taking out a token, but of course it was not "I am here in person" , but "Commander of the Imperial City Division".
Seeing that Su Ziji was a little confused, he said: "This is the establishment of the imperial army. There are five hundred people in one capital and one command. If you act with this token, you can naturally avoid a lot of trouble."
Then he pointed at the military attache who followed him in and remained silent.
"This is Sun Dehu Sun Baihu, a pro-military Baihu who came out with our family. He is one of our own. You can trust him completely."
"Before our family came, we knew that if you stayed, you would take action, so we brought him with us."
"I asked him to cooperate with you and listen to your instructions. He will definitely help you!"
The status of the Imperial City Si Baihu of Dazheng was higher than that of the ordinary army. Because they were considered to be the emperor's personal soldiers, they were naturally more noble.
According to the Dazheng military system, corps commanders and chief officers are not considered official status, while captains and deputy corps officers are considered official status, but they are not high-ranking.
The next higher level is the 100 households and the 9th grade. If you transfer to a local area, you will often be inspected.
But the pro-army Baihu should be more noble. When coming to the southwest this time, Supervisor Zhao is the chief eunuch. He should not only bring the manpower of the internal supervisors. This kind of pro-army, the commander will probably follow one. Hundreds of households are afraid of how many people will come. But to be able to leave one hundred households and troops for myself in such an emergency situation is already very trustworthy.
Su Ziji was naturally satisfied and immediately thanked Supervisor Zhao.
Supervisor Zhao waved his hand and said, "If you are able to do business for public purposes, of course our family will trust you and do your work. Don't worry about the involvement. As long as you can make meritorious deeds, everything will be no problem."
After saying that, Inspector Zhao left in a hurry and continued his inspection.
The army rose up very quickly. Not long after Inspector Zhao left, a short while later, with the sound of the horn, the originally heavily guarded camp gradually became quiet and the guard was relaxed.
Only the two hundred people left behind stayed in this empty camp.
"I am the Imperial City Si Baihu. This time I came with only ten Tiqi, but I have already passed the official document and recruited a hundred soldiers from nearby counties. They are all selected by me and can fight. I serve my father-in-law. Orders, Master, you can give orders at any time." Baihu introduced himself seriously.
"Who?!" Su Ziji was about to explain what happened to Sun Baihu when someone outside the tent suddenly shouted.
Soon, a man was pushed in staggeringly, followed by two armored soldiers pointing swords at him.
"Sir, this man is sneaky, he is probably a craftsman!" one of the soldiers said.
The wild Taoist who was caught and brought in smiled bitterly, cupped his hands towards the military attache who was looking at him coldly, and explained: "I am not a craftsman, I am Mr. Su's man."
Then he said to Su Ziji: "Master Su, you ordered me to investigate the whereabouts of several cavalry teams. I just got the information and will report it immediately... Can you let them put away their knives first?"
The tip of the knife was poking into his back. The wild Taoist didn't want his opponent's hand to tremble and he had to do it to himself.
"Master Su, is this your person?" Sun Baihu looked at Su Ziji.
Su Ziji nodded: "He is indeed my person."
"Everyone go down first." Sun Baihu waved his hand and the two armored soldiers retreated.
"You said, do you have information about those cavalry teams?" Thinking of what Su Ziji said to Inspector Zhao before, Sun Baihu immediately understood that he was afraid that the previous information was sent by this person.
What a master at gathering information.
The most important responsibility of the Imperial City Department is of course to control the entrance and exit of the palace, the guards, and the opening and closing of the palace gates, but secondly, it is to spy on intelligence, especially to monitor the army.
Naturally, he attaches great importance to intelligence. He has just arrived and has encountered such an important situation. He is a good person in detecting intelligence, so Sun Baihu naturally has a desire to cherish his talent.
However, the wild Taoist was already quite young, and he belonged to the mysterious Mr. Su. Although he was a little itchy, Sun Baihu still suppressed it.
The wild Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the newly acquired information from his arms and handed it to Su Ziji for viewing.
After Su Ziji read it, he handed it to Sun Baihu.
Sun Baihu was naturally literate. After reading it, he became angry: "There are actually six cavalry teams collaborating with the enemy chiefs to smuggle? They even dare to sell weapons. They are so audacious!"
Selling only food, furs or daily necessities is equally guilty, but depending on the circumstances, one may be exempted from death or not implicated. However, selling weapons to enemy chieftains really goes far beyond the scope of forgivability. Such people must die!
Murderous aura suddenly appeared on Baihu's face.
