Tiger Character Banner has opened mule and horse shops in Beizhili, Xuanfu and other places. The news Wang Zi sent back from the capital was quickly delivered to Lingqiu through the mule and horse shops one by one.
The secret letter finally appeared on Liu Heng's desk.
After Liu Heng read Wang Zi's secret letter, he turned to Zhao Wu who was standing aside and said, "Go find Yang Yuan."
"Yes." Zhao Wu agreed and backed out of the signing room.
Not long after, Yang Yuan followed Zhao Wu to the signing room.
"The boss."
As soon as he entered the custody room, Yang Yuan saluted Liu Heng.
Liu Heng said: "The king in the capital sent a secret letter on his own, saying that the imperial court has sent Jin Yiwei to Datong to investigate the affairs of our Tiger Flag. Your Foreign Intelligence Bureau should keep an eye on these Jin Yiwei."
"Should we..." Yang Yuan made a motion of cutting his throat.
The Foreign Intelligence Bureau had killed Jin Yiwei before, but now he heard that Jin Yiwei had come to Datong again, which made him want to kill again.
Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "No need, just keep an eye on these people."
"Yes." Yang Yuan nodded in agreement.
Zhao Wu, who was in the custody room, said at this time: "Master, it's time for lunch."
Liu Heng glanced sideways at the clock in the detention room. It was already past eleven o'clock and almost twelve o'clock, and said: "You go and get two meals. Director Yang and I still have something to say. I will talk to you later." He eats in the detention room."
The standing bell was purchased from the Red Mao Yi merchants through sea trade. The Ordnance Bureau of Tiger Banner has developed its own standing bell by imitating the standing bell. Now it has begun to study how to shrink the standing bell and create a portable one. clock.
Zhao Wu walked out of the signing room with two large tea jars in his arms.
Liu Heng picked up the teapot at hand, took a sip of water, took it away and continued: "The Foreign Intelligence Agency's spies everywhere need to lurk, and the Foreign Intelligence Agency will immediately notify the evacuation of shops and horse shops everywhere. If you really can’t take back goods and other things, just come back and leave other things behind.”
"Are you worried that the imperial court will use troops against us?" Yang Yuan said with a frown.
Liu Heng leaned back, leaned on the back of his chair, and said: "There is no way to hide the crossing of thousands of troops of the Tiger Character Flag from anyone. After those Jin Yiwei come to Datong, if they ask anyone casually, they will definitely know. Once they Bring the news back, the court cannot allow our tiger-character flag to exist."
"Haven't we already paid the governor and the general of Datong with money? How can they still not protect us?" Yang Yuan frowned.
Liu Heng smiled faintly and said: "The reason why I sent Mr. Zhao to take care of the governor and general soldiers is just to delay the court's use of troops against us. Otherwise, what will come now is not the imperial guards but the imperial army."
"Otherwise, my subordinates will kill them all, and the dead people will not be able to bring back any news." Yang Yuan showed a ruthless look on his face.
As the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, he has killed many people overtly and covertly over the years, most of which were against Tiger Flag's opponents and enemies.
"There will be no end to killing them." Liu Heng shook his head and said, "These Jin Yiwei died in Datong, and the court will only think that Wang Xinyi's memorial is true. It is a pity that we failed to stop Wang Xinyi's memorial, otherwise there would be more Delay for a while.”
Yang Yuan lowered his head and said: "It was my subordinates who failed to do a good job and made mistakes on Yang Hewei's side. My subordinates have been removed from the position of head of the Foreign Intelligence Agency in Yang Hewei. Went to the grassland."
Liu Heng nodded.
Yang Hewei has always been watched by people from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, but Wang Xin finally sent Yang Hewei away with a memorial. This shows that the Foreign Intelligence Bureau is not keeping an eye on Wang Xinyi closely enough, and the person in charge of Yanghewei Foreign Intelligence Bureau cannot escape. Its responsibility.
The governor's office in Datong Prefecture.
Zhang Huai hurried to Houya and met the governor of Datong.
"Sir, it's not good, the imperial court has sent the royal guards, I'm afraid they will arrive in Datong in the next two days." Zhang Huai's face was very ugly.
When outside Xinping Fort, he took advantage of the tiger-character flag and promised to help the tiger-character flag conceal it. But now that the imperial guards from the capital were coming to Datong, he knew that it would be difficult to hide the tiger-character flag's affairs.
"Why are you panicking? I already know it." Governor Liu scolded him.
Wei Zhongxian had already sent people to deliver news to him from the capital on fast horses.
Zhang Huai opened his mouth and saw Governor Liu's gloomy face, swallowing the words that came to his lips.
Governor Liu said: "Did you send away the merit note?"
"Sir, please don't ask for credit. The general regrets it so much now. If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have taken the credit for the defeat of the captives." Zhang Huai said with a sad face.
Governor Liu said: "So you have already sent the letter asking for merit to the capital?"
"Sent it away with a fast horse. I'm afraid it has already arrived at the General Affairs Department by now." Zhang Huai said.
"Just deliver it." Governor Liu twirled his beard and said immediately, "You and I will write another note and arrange for it to be sent to the capital quickly."
Zhang Huai was stunned for a moment and said, "I wonder what excerpts you want to write?"
Governor Liu's face turned cold and he said: "The Tiger Character Banner is plotting rebellion. As the leaders of the civil and military forces of Datong, shouldn't we write a memorial and explain the situation to the court?"
"Ah!" Zhang Huai exclaimed, and then said, "Do you really want to submit a memorial? Didn't you already promise..."
Halfway through, he suddenly swallowed back the rest of his words.
He immediately thought that at this time, the matter of the Tiger Character Flag could no longer be concealed. If he did not report the matter of the Tiger Character Flag to the court, it would be too late by the time the Jin Yiwei investigated the situation and returned to the capital.
"Have you figured it out?" Governor Liu asked Zhang Huai.
Zhang Huai hurriedly bowed and said: "General, I understand. Now I will write a memorial about the Tiger Character Banner's rebellion together with your Excellency, and send it to the capital on a fast horse."
"You don't need to write it. I have already written it." Governor Liu took out a memorial from his sleeve and said at the same time, "After you use the seal, I will arrange for someone to send it to the capital."
Zhang Huai said: "General, I will go back and get the seal right now."
"No need to go to such trouble." Governor Liu waved his hand and said, "Take this memorial back with you, seal it and then send it back to me."
"Everything must be obeyed by your master." Zhang Huai bowed and saluted.
Governor Liu picked up the memorial, handed it forward, and said, "Take it."
Zhang Huai, who was standing in front, stepped forward, took the memorial with both hands, put it into his sleeves, then saluted and said, "I will retire at the end of the day."
Governor Liu nodded and reached out to pick up the tureen beside him.
Zhang Huai withdrew from the back office.
"Sir, do you want students to go to the General Military Mansion with General Zhang?" Du Wanyuan, who was standing aside, said.
After taking a sip of tea, Governor Liu put the lid back on the cup and said, "You don't have to worry about the memorial. I have other things for you to do."
Du Wanyuan looked at Governor Liu who was sitting on the chair.
I heard Governor Liu continue to say: "I will give you the five thousand taels of silver that Tiger Character Banner sent last time. When the time comes, you can take it with you to the capital and give it to Eunuch Wei."
"Student understands." Du Wanyuan stepped in and saluted.
