Due to the incident of the Mobei spies, no one is allowed in or out of Tai'an City.
The city guards and the general's soldiers searched the civilian merchants one by one. Anyone with a Mobei totem tattoo on their forearm was imprisoned, and any offender was killed on the spot.
Each official residence has distributed tattoo designs, and each official residence has concentrated personnel to conduct self-examination. If anyone conceals anything and fails to report it, it will be a crime against the Nine Clan once confirmed.
In the secret room of the Second Prince's Mansion, Chu Chengyao looked at the unconscious man in black, opened the sleeves of the man in black and saw the tattoo, then quietly closed the secret room door and returned to the study with Zhong Yi.
"Is this the person you were talking about? Why did you bring him back to the house? Has he been seen by anyone?"
Zhong Yi said respectfully: "The people who followed Lin Jinyan last night reported back and forth to their subordinates that Lin Jinyan had been assassinated. When the subordinates rushed over, they only saw Gu Ruizhou and the man in black fighting. The subordinates took advantage of Gu Ruizhou's unpreparedness and saved him. He settled in the house on Fumin Road. I heard this morning that he was being investigated by spies before he was brought back to the house. Don’t worry, my subordinate took a secret way back to the house from the courtyard on the back street, so no one will know."
Chu Chengyao: "It's best to be careful in everything. We will bring the doctor to treat him later. Don't expose your identity. We will discuss it after he recovers from his injuries."
In the afternoon, as soon as the palace attendants who presented the queen's reward left, Du Xing took eight strong men into the Lin Mansion. After Lin Yanqing looked at them, he saw that they were all honest people and signed death certificates to accept them all. Got off.
The old lady originally wanted to place a few people in the concierge, but Lin Jinyan suggested that Xiyuan be vacant and let them live in Xiyuan first to learn the rules. The old lady praised Lin Jinyan for his thoughtfulness and arranged the few people to Xiyuan.
In Xiyuan, Du Xing was reporting to Lin Jinyan the situation of several people.
"The two best martial artists are named Xu Da and Xu San. They are cousins. Our ancestors made a living by hunting, and they already have some martial arts. The other six are all farmers. They have learned the martial arts in the past few months and are better than others. Good strength."
Lin Jinyan looked at the people one by one with a smile: "Steward Du has already taught you the rules. He Quan and He Mu came earlier than you. If you don't understand in the same courtyard, just ask them."
When the eight of them saw Lin Jinyan, they all smiled and said they would listen carefully to his orders.
Just after Shenshi, Lin Song gathered all the people in the house together. After checking that there were no Mobei tattoos, they dispersed and started working.
After Gu Ruizhou returned home in the evening, he was called into Gu Hongzhang's study by Gu Qingyun.
Gu Hongzhang: "Have you found any spies today?"
Gu Ruizhou: "I found two here, and they were both hiding very deep. One was hiding in a brothel, and the other was hiding in a wine shop."
Gu Qingyun: "They are all places where you can get information. It shows that a lot of thought has been put into them."
Gu Ruizhou: "What my father said is that I checked that one of them is from Tianchu, and he is a paid spy. He is not a hard-nosed person."
Gu Hongzhang: "Such profit-seeking weaklings have no regard for family and country. Mobei owes a lot of blood to Tianchu. For money, they can become Mobei spies. How abominable!"
Gu Ruizhou: "This person started working as a spy in the 15th year of Sheng'an. I would like to discuss with my grandfather and father to advance the year on this person's confession by three years. General Jin Wei started working as a city guard in the 14th year of Sheng'an. If the spy The time was two years earlier than him, so his guilt can be lighter."
Gu Hongzhang: "The former city guard was dismissed and exiled because of the Yeliang spies. Jin Wei is an upright person and he really shouldn't have such an ending. It would be nice if we could help him reduce his guilt."
Gu Qingyun also said: "This matter does not affect other things. After the spies catch them all, you can just draw two years in advance."
