When Su Qi'an left Xizhou, as he had expected, Tang Feng only targeted Su Qi'an. Once he left, strict control within the territory was quickly restored.
Although Tang Feng had also suspected that there were Su Qi'an's hidden backhand and some confidants in the state.
However, the focus of the search was Lingbei County. The continuous surveillance did not yield the desired results, so they decisively gave up.
No one expected that Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan and others were hiding in Lingdong County.
There are at least hundreds of counties in the entire Xizhou, with a population of more than millions. No matter how large Tang Feng's control is, he cannot clearly check everyone in the state.
In addition, Zhou Qi basically controls Lingdong County, and their whereabouts are very hidden, so who can discover their whereabouts.
The personnel organization has been streamlined and the intelligence network spread out has become more convenient and faster than before.
The collapse of Su Ji Trading Company gave them a deep shock. Previously, they had used Su Qi'an's momentum in Xizhou to rapidly expand and deploy a third-level intelligence point.
And each level used the name of the trading company, and its status in Xizhou increased. In one year, Suji Trading Company was no less than the powerful families in the state.
It looks very beautiful, but all this is based on the premise that Su Qi'an has not fallen, and this rapid expansion has caused them to ignore the resources of the people at the bottom.
Just dealing with the upper-class dignitaries was full of success, but once Su Qi'an lost power and was targeted, the huge Su Ji Trading Company was wiped out in an instant.
So this time, they changed their strategy and still opened stores, but all stores focused on low-end civilians, and what they wanted was small profits but quick turnover.
On the one hand, it can reduce the attention of the upper-level dignitaries, and on the other hand, it can better develop and expand the intelligence network.
Although these low-level people have little value or strength, they are the ones who send out a lot of news in the first place.
The spread in Lingdong County is just the beginning. When they stabilize, they will continue to expand to other towns and counties.
The direction of their development this time is not to work in the opposite direction, but to cultivate the towns and counties at the bottom.
In Su Qian's words, it is the people at the bottom who have the greatest potential.
As for their arrangements, if they are targeted by some wealthy families, this is also part of their plan.
After all, Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan, Qin Huai, and Ye Zhong had run large businesses, and their family backgrounds were in the county, so they were pretty good, and their intelligence network was well developed.
More or less, they all have some handle on the rich and powerful, if they really dare to attack them.
Everyone wouldn't mind finding a time to have a good chat with these wealthy families.
Although everyone today is seriously injured and has to be on guard against Tang Feng, they are more than enough to deal with wealthy families at the county level.
If they can't even deal with the wealthy families at the county level, there is no need for them to stay in Xizhou.
After listening to Shouhou's report, Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan asked about some other things.
The main thing is about Tang Feng's movements and whether Su Qi'an is safe.
Su Qi'an's departure that day was blocked by Tang Feng on the way. Although the news was hidden, it was still spread to some extent.
Everyone was still worried, and Shouhou said respectfully, "Madams, according to the information collected by my little sister and I, your husband should have left Xizhou safely."
"Tang Feng seems to have suffered a great loss in this pursuit."
"In the recent period, after Mr. left, Tang Feng didn't move much. He seemed to have really calmed down."
"Of course, this information is not very accurate. For our safety, our intelligence network cannot penetrate into the Prefectural Mufu for the time being. Being able to enter Xizhou City is already the limit. This information has yet to be analyzed. Please ask the two ladies. understand."
Naturally, Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan will not blame Shouhou for his difficulties. Shouhou and Li Xiaomei have already done a good job.
In less than a month, the shattered intelligence network was established and extended to Xizhou City.
Although it is impossible to go into depth, it is worthy of recognition.
The intelligence network is to protect everyone's eyes. The direction of development this time is also to go deep into the bottom.
Counties nearby.
As for the one in Xizhou City, they are just a secret agent. Their mission is to monitor the changes in Xizhou City.
They are all single-line connections. This line will not be used unless absolutely necessary. This is also to protect the safety of the secret agent.
In short, this reconstruction and development follows one principle: be cautious, prefer slow development, follow the rules, and never make rash advances.
This time when they stayed in Xizhou, they had already prepared to stay silent for a long time and develop silently, all in order to wait until the day Su Qian came back.
Therefore, in order to wait until that day, they must be patient and patient, and patiently, they will eventually usher in the final victory and emerge from the cocoon to become a butterfly.
Xizhou City, State Mufu.
Tang Feng and Tang Xiao, father and son, stood in the small courtyard, discussing something.
"Father, this Su Qi'an really can't be kept. He actually caused the shadow guard's vitality to be severely damaged. Now that he has escaped from Xizhou, this is like letting the tiger return to the mountain. Then give him a few years. Maybe it will become a climate in Jiaozhou, and they are trying to get rid of him, but It’s difficult.”
Tang Xiao's worries were not unreasonable. In their hands, Su Qi'an escaped from death time and time again, first destroying their Heilu army.
Then they wiped out most of the shadow guards they had trained for many years. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses in this battle with Su Qi'an, directly losing their right and left arm.
Now he is allowed to escape and go to Jiaozhou. After he develops and becomes powerful in a few years, they will definitely be the first to settle the score.
Compared to Tang Xiao's worries, Tang Feng was relatively calm, he said softly.
"My father is aware of this matter, but he is not unprepared. I have some friendship with the governor of Jiaozhou. I have already sent him a message. Once Su Qian's whereabouts are discovered, I will eradicate him immediately."
"As for Su Qi'an's desire to gain a foothold in Jiaozhou, it's not that simple. The territory of Jiaozhou is in chaos. Su Qi'an wants to expand his power. The first person who doesn't agree is Jiaozhou Prefecture Mu. After all, who would tolerate outsiders occupying their territory."
"And this time when Su Qian left Xizhou, his anger was not for his father."
"Father is talking about the princes in Kyoto?"
Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, although His Majesty gave the order and the matter ended here, Su Qi'an offended the two most powerful princes Zheng and Zhao. Who asked Su Qi'an to kill their eldest son and grandson? This kind of The sworn hatred cannot be resolved by His Majesty with just one word."
"The two princes already knew about this. They paid a high price to hire the King of Hell, who was number one on the killer list in Kyoto, to go to Jiaozhou to hunt down Su Qi'an."
"Under the heavy pursuit, Su Qi'an will definitely be doomed this time, but we can reap the benefits."
"The King of Hell who is number one on the killer list? Father, is this person very strong? As far as I know, Su Qi'an was previously pursued by the King of Thousand Faces who was number two on the list, but he was killed in the end."
Tang Feng shook his head, with a look of solemnity on his face, and said, "Xiao'er, this killer King of Hell is not a simple thing. Let's put it this way, even if ten Thousand Faced Kings come together, none of them can be his opponent."
"The failure rate of any mission he takes is zero. In the past ten years, the number one on the Kyoto killer list has never changed. It has always been it. No one has ever seen its true face. No one has seen it. All of them died except one."
Tang Xiao took a breath, with deep shock in his eyes. He was very aware of the value of the killer list. There was no moisture in this list at all, and these killers were very strange. They were all proud of being on the killer list.
Therefore, the competition is very fierce, but in ten years, the top position has not been shaken.
This is enough to show how terrifying this killer named King of Hell is.
Tang Xiao's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed the thoughts in his mind.
As Tang Xiao's father, Tang Feng could see Tang Xiao's thoughts at a glance.
He said, "Xiao'er, don't even think about recruiting these killers. They are all a group of people who are unscrupulous and their usual purpose is to use money to do things."
"There is no loyalty at all. For such people, you can let them handle some dirty things, as long as you give them enough money. As for recruiting, don't even think about it."
"The existence of killers means that they have value, so they need to do some things."
"Xiao'er, take a long-term view. My father values you very much. Don't stick to small details and learn to control people's hearts. Sooner or later, the position of state pastor will be yours."
"If you can control people's hearts, and even go one step further and run Xizhou well, there will always be times when you and I, father and son, stir up trouble in this world."
Tang Xiao nodded solemnly and said respectfully to Tang Feng, "The child has been taught by the father's teachings, and the child knows what to do."
At this moment, Tang Feng's ambition was inexplicably revealed. He was just waiting for the world to change, and then it would be the time for him to show off his talents.
As for the little Su Qian, the trouble was so fierce that he could not survive a young prince.
In the face of a real army, any conspiracy and conspiracy will fall into pieces and become unstoppable.
At this time, in Jiaozhou Tucheng, under the command of Su Qi'an, Qi'an City was quite lively.
Although it was raining in the sky, the cultivated ditches continued to gather and appear at an alarming speed.
The pattering of light rain continued to collect in a reservoir along the gradually formed ditch. Finally, through wooden gates, the collected water was led little by little to the surrounding cultivated land.
Everyone was very enthusiastic, especially the indigenous people. They had never seen this kind of water conservancy project that could control the rain from the sky and then flow it to the cultivated land.
Being able to control the volume and flow rate of water, this scene was very magical, and their admiration for Su Qi'an could not be greater.
Shout out to God, if you are not a God, how could you have such a brain to build such a miraculous project and be able to use the rain from the sky.
Doesn't this mean that Su Qi'an can command the Rain God? It must be through a higher god. Read the book
Those Liang people were also very excited. Seeing the rainwater being used bit by bit for farming, they became even more motivated.
Even if Su Qi'an asked them to rest, they would not stop. They were really working hard day and night. According to this progress, the construction period of more than a month would be several days ahead of schedule.
Just when everyone in Qi'an City was having sex in full swing, suddenly, a piece of news came.
"The little priest of Tucheng invites Su Qi'an to come and talk."
And Su Qi'an was not the only one invited. It is said that the high priest behind the scenes and even the Qingcheng County Sheriff also invited.
