Hearing what Xun Ke said, Lin Huaiwu was stunned for a moment and then immediately reacted and asked Xun Ke:
"General Xun, you mean that Wang Muzhi is going to attack Pingyun..."
Regarding Lin Huaiwu's question, Xunke also said very cautiously:
"It's not yet certain whether he is going to attack Pingyun, but what I am sure of is that by doing this now, Yu Chao is creating opportunities for Wang Muzhi!"
"He is now deliberately making our army think that they can successfully capture Dagu, so as to attract our army here firmly, so that Wang Muzhi can take advantage of it!"
Regarding Xun Ke's analysis, Lin Huaiwu, who realized the seriousness of the matter, became serious. If Xun Ke's inference was correct, then there would be trouble next. Because of financial constraints and logistical pressure, the above There was no way to devote more troops to Yunhe.
In order to capture Dagu County, the Fengwu Army also mobilized troops from the rear counties and concentrated more than 37,000 people under Dagu County. This also resulted in cities in the rear such as Pingyun County, with only one or two thousand people. garrison.
Wang Muzhi now has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. Even if the soldiers and horses guarding Jinyang are removed, he can still mobilize more than 40,000 soldiers and horses.
If Wang Muzhi's trick really succeeded and he attacked Pingyun County, then with the current military strength of Pingyun County being caught off guard, Pingyun County might really be taken back by Wang Muzhi.
When he thought of this, Lin Huaiwu immediately became uneasy and immediately ordered the scouts to say:
"Order to send thirty more scouts to keep an eye on the direction of Jinyang! If Yun Bing's army has any movements, come and report immediately! We also have to contact the Central Mediation Office to ask them to assist our army in the investigation work!"
"yes!"
Listening to the series of orders issued by Lin Huaiwu, Xun Ke still had an inexplicable feeling for some reason...
Is Wang Muzhi's goal really Pingyun County?

Liaoyang, Dongning
In the office of the Coordination Office, Huo San took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and asked Zhang Qiankun, who was standing respectfully in front of him:
"Did you make any progress in your investigation while I was away?"
In response to Huo San's inquiry, Zhang Qiankun asked without hesitation:
"Sir, we all thought that Ye Zhanpeng fled with his family documents before. However, after our new round of detailed investigation, we found that on September 15th, the night when Ye Zhanpeng fled, someone saw two groups of carriages. Those who left were separated by about an hour!"
"At the same time, we also investigated that when Song Geng went to find Ye Zhanpeng that night, he had arranged for several confidants to control the group of convoys that left first! Then he was looking for Ye Zhanpeng!
"So we boldly guess that the truth of the matter is that Ye Zhanpeng first arranged for Jiajuan to leave, and then he fled after dealing with Song Geng. Therefore, the clues to the dirty silver in Ye Zhanpeng's hands are in the hands of his Jiajuan! "
"As long as we find Ye Zhanpeng's family records, we may be able to find clues to the dirty silver!"
When Huo San heard this, he immediately asked:
"Then have you found any clues about Ye Zhanpeng's family records?"
Zhang Qiankun said angrily:
"There is no news yet..."
As soon as these words came out, Huo San immediately showed an evil look on his face. Seeing this, Zhang Qiankun immediately said:
However, we have carried out surveillance on the hometown of Ye Zhanpeng's wife Wang and several concubines. As soon as Wang and others contact their natal family, we will be able to catch them as soon as possible! "
Naturally, Huo San was not satisfied with Zhang Qiankun's words. He took a deep look at Zhang Qiankun and said:
"The commander-in-chief gave us a month to investigate the whereabouts of the dirty silver in Ye Zhanpeng's hands. If we don't find out the whereabouts of the dirty money in Ye Zhanpeng's hands within the time limit, not only will I, Huo San, be in trouble, but you guys will also follow suit. , do you understand?"
Zhang Qiankun said immediately after hearing this:
"I must go all out to find out the whereabouts of the dirty silver within a month!"
After receiving Zhang Qiankun's guarantee, Huo San's face looked better. Then he seemed to have thought of it and warned again:
"In addition to finding out the whereabouts of the dirty money, you also need to find it faster than the internal guards. We are now more than one step behind the internal guards. This time our Coordination Office must investigate the matter clearly before the internal guards do, and report it to the general public. Handsome proves the ability of our Coordination Office!"
"yes!"
After explaining Zhang Qiankun, Huo San told him to get lost. Then he sat alone in the study, drinking tea while rethinking the cause and effect of the matter.
Because Ye Mingsheng still hadn't decided on his punishment, Huo San was trying to figure out Ye Mingsheng's thoughts on the way back to Liaoyang... ·······
Relying on his understanding of Ye Mingsheng's behavior style, Huo San believed that after handing over most of his wealth, the danger of his death was basically gone.
But the risk of being dismissed has not been completely eliminated. If I can complete the tasks assigned by Ye Mingsheng within a month and put the dirty money in Ye Zhanpeng's hands into the Treasury of the Financial Secretary on time, then there is a high probability that I can continue to be this person. As the director of the Coordination Office, there is a high probability that he will be dismissed from his post.
As the director of the Coordination Office and the number one hawk under Ye Mingsheng, Huo San has offended many people over the years. Once he loses the protection of the director of the Coordination Office, his situation will be very miserable even if he does not die.
Thinking of this, a ruthless look flashed in Huo San's eyes, and he immediately ordered to the guards outside:
"Call Wang Chengzhu over here!"
"yes!"
Half an hour later, a fat man in luxurious clothes was immediately brought to Huo San. When he saw Huo San, he immediately said with a respectful and flattering expression:
"My dear, Wang Chengzhu has met Director Huo!"
Listening to Wang Chengzhu's words, Huo San ignored Wang Chengzhu's falcon-like gaze and immediately looked at Wang Chengzhu. Feeling Huo San's gaze, Wang Chengzhu's body immediately felt a chill on his back, and his expression became nervous... ·······················
Wang Chengzhu didn't know what Huo San was going to do. He clearly didn't offend him. Could it be that his brother had offended him?
Thinking of this, Wang Chengzhu organized his language and said:
"Director Huo, our second son doesn't know how high the sky is or how much he weighs. If anything offends you, please be more considerate! If anything happens to you, please just tell me!"
Huo San originally planned to give Wang Chengzhu a slap in the face first, but when he saw Wang Chengzhu's attitude was so low, he couldn't continue the slap, so he snorted coldly and stared at Wang Chengzhu asking questions word for word. road:
"What's the relationship between you and Ye Zhanpeng?"
As soon as Wang Chengzhu heard the name Ye Zhanpeng, he was stunned for a moment and then quickly waved his hand and said:
"Director Huo, you must be aware of everything! I have nothing to do with Ye Zhanpeng, the man who suffered a thousand blows. You must investigate clearly!"
Huo San said coldly:
"Many people have seen you attending his banquet."
Wang Chengzhu explained with a bitter look:
"Director Huo, Ye Zhanpeng is the shopkeeper of Dadongsheng in Liaoyang! As a businessman, it is very common for me to go to his banquet. Not only all the dignitaries in Liaoyang have attended Ye Zhanpeng's banquet, but at least ten of them I’ve been to banquets in eight or nine years, why are you just staring at me..."
After hearing what Wang Chengzhu said, Huo San said coldly:
"Why do you mean I'm staring at you?"
Wang Chengzhu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked in disbelief:
"Sir, you are not doubting our second child, are you?"
"As far as I know, this matter was brought about by our second son. If he was really involved in this matter, how could he have brought it out on his own? This is not asking for trouble!"
Huo San continued to say calmly after hearing this:
"Of course I will not doubt Deputy Director Wang. Deputy Director Wang is loyal to the commander-in-chief, so naturally he will not do such a thing!"
"But just because Deputy Director Wang doesn't dare to do this kind of thing, it doesn't mean that his subordinates don't!"
"To tell you the truth, my subordinate Song Geng has colluded with Ye Zhanpeng. Since Ye Zhanpeng can give money to Song Geng, he can naturally give money to others!"
"The commander-in-chief took this matter very seriously and gave the Coordination Office a one-month deadline to break the case. If he couldn't find out after one month, the commander-in-chief found out that everyone in the Coordination Office would be in trouble! Even before Everything that happens like sesame seeds and rotten millet will be found out!"
Listening to what Huo San said was so serious, Wang Chengzhu couldn't help but have a look of fear on his face...
Seeing this, Huo San also knew that the effect was achieved and immediately waved his hand and said:
"The matter has come to an end, you can decide what to do on your own! See the guests off!"
Looking at Wang Chengzhu's leaving figure, Huo San's expression became increasingly gloomy.
During the recent investigation, I don’t know why Huo San always feels like being led by the nose. It feels like there is an invisible hand silently controlling everything!
As Zhang Qiankun's investigation entered a difficult situation, this feeling became clearer. Logically speaking, everything that the unified coordination office should do has been done. All that is left is to conduct house-to-house searches throughout Liaoyang. There are more or less clues to Ye Zhanpeng's family records. Some were revealed, but these people and the money seemed to have disappeared without a trace!
This does not make Huo San even more suspicious, whether someone is helping Ye Zhanpeng's family records to avoid pursuit, and this person is likely to know the investigation process, investigation methods and other information of the Coordination Office, so that he can hide Ye Zhanpeng's family records without any traces. Without a trace.
Although he had this idea, Huo San did not doubt Wang Xuecheng at first. After all, it was just like Wang Chengzhu said.
The cause of this incident was that Wang Xuecheng discovered a batch of Fengwu weapons that should have been scrapped in the hands of the Gongdu rebels... ······
If this matter is really related to Wang Xuecheng, then what Wang Xuecheng should do is to cover up the fact as much as possible instead of giving information about this matter to Ye Mingsheng.
But after looking through the hundreds of households in the unified coordination department, Huo San felt that these households did not have the courage and ability to hide Ye Zhanpeng's family records.
And the only one who has the ability and courage is Wang Xuecheng!
Although he still couldn't believe it, the investigation was in trouble at this time, and Ye Mingsheng only gave him a month's deadline, so Huo San had no choice but to take a bold try and bring Wang Xuecheng's eldest brother Wang Chengzhu over to knock on the mountain Zhenhu.
Huo San knew that after leaving his place, Wang Chengzhu would immediately write to Wang Xuecheng after returning home. Huo San wanted to use him to convey a message to Wang Xuecheng, that is, don't pretend to be dead in the palace. If I really kill you, It won’t be easy!
At that time, Ye Mingsheng appointed Wang Xuecheng as the deputy director of the Coordination Office. Huo San and he also fought openly and secretly for a while. However, after realizing that their common interests outweighed their differences, the relationship between the two gradually eased, thus forming a There is a tacit understanding that each of them will take care of their own well and not interfere with the river...
Although driven by common interests, the relationship between the two people has eased, but this does not mean that the two people have completely shaken hands and made peace!
Huo San and Wang Xuecheng knew very well that they were secretly collecting information about each other. As the first and second leaders of the Fengwu Army's largest secret service, neither of them had clean butts, so Huo San wanted to make Wang Xuecheng understand. , don’t think about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight!
As for whether this will be effective, Huo San still has great expectations. He knows that Wang Xuecheng has been relatively close to them recently!
And "they" are Huo San's main suspects of being the initiator of all this!
While Huo San was secretly planning, Zhang Qiankun, who had just arrived, walked into the room and said excitedly:
"Sir, Mr. Zhu from the Liaoyang Police Department has sent news that he has found the family papers suspected of Ye Zhanpeng!"
"They said Ye Zhanpeng's family records may be hidden in Denong County, Posu Prefecture!"
Hearing the news, Huo San couldn't believe it at first, but he quickly came to his senses and ordered:
"Count the manpower and come with me to Denong County! We must find these people!"
"yes·························"
