Seeing Tang Yong Mingjing come back, Lei Ling asked on behalf of Ye Ming:
"What did you find?"
"Ms. Catwoman, I monitored them all night and found that they are different from ordinary city patrol soldiers and belong to the excluded category.
Xiao Xiao took it upon himself to make secret visits to several nearby camps around them, and finally found out that they were all generals and lieutenants who were dissatisfied with General Dong's annexation of Tang General's troops and horses. They were demoted to ordinary city patrols and were not given any food or salary. , I just want to force them to cause trouble and take the opportunity to ask questions..."
Tang Yongming's explanation was quite detailed, and he basically understood the general details of that group of people.
Maisui was a little dazed when she heard that he was one of the former generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Before the accident at home, she had almost never left the house, and she had never seen a few of General Tang's generals.
But she knew that these people were still persisting and must be loyal to their late father.
After listening to what Tang Yongmingjing said, Ye Ming put it into the horn incense burner and did not let it know what happened next.
Lei Ling looked at Maisui, then at Ye Ming, and asked:
"What are your plans next, Master?"
"The next plan is...shopping."
Speaking of shopping, Ye Mingzhen started shopping, riding a donkey alone, looking very leisurely.
It's just that there is really nothing to do in Anwu City. There are very few pedestrians on the street and many of the surrounding shops are empty. It is estimated that all the young people in the shops have been captured and served as soldiers.
We walked around and visited the famous "Wuwang Tomb" in Anwucheng.
This King of Wu was the first hero to resist foreign enemies in this city until he died in battle.
The reason why he was named An Wu was to make King Wu feel at ease and worry-free for future generations.
It's just that the "Wu Wang Tomb" that Ye Ming saw had not been taken care of for some time. There were many dead branches and leaves on the tomb, all buried under the white snow.
After leaving the "Mound of King Wu", Ye Ming came to a remote inn, sat in the lobby of the inn, and ordered some wine and food.
The shopkeeper is an elderly man who serves as both shopkeeper and waiter.
Seeing that Ye Ming didn't look like he was rich, he was a little hesitant, but Ye Ming said that the money would definitely be there.
The shopkeeper really believed it.
Ye Ming has been eating and drinking in the hotel lobby for nearly half an hour, but there is no sign of paying.
The shopkeeper was a little worried about Ye Ming eating the Overlord meal, so he stood near the door to prevent Ye Ming from escaping.
At this time, a man with a bandaged arm walked in from outside the store.
The man entered the inn with his head lowered and a dejected look on his face. He went straight upstairs without looking at who was in the store.
As a result, when he passed the table where Ye Ming was eating, Ye Ming stretched out his foot. The man accidentally tripped over Ye Ming.
Because his right arm was injured, he reluctantly turned down, and the left half of his body fell to the ground first, falling solidly.
The man was in pain and looked at the person who tripped him angrily. He was about to have a fit, but then he was stunned:
"Mr. Yang?"
It turned out that this man was none other than Jing Xuanwei from Quanzong Village.
Ye Ming looked at Xiang Jing Xuanwei with a smile:
"Long time no see, please help me pay the bill first."
Jing Xuanwei was very surprised when he saw Ye Ming. After hearing what Ye Ming said, he did not hesitate, but he had no money anymore, so he gave his coat to the shopkeeper as food money.
"Mr. Yang, why are you here?"
Jing Xuanwei, who had no coat, forgot about the cold and asked Ye Ming.
"Let's go upstairs first."
Ye Ming pointed to the upstairs and said.
Jing Xuanwei also nodded:
"Yes, yes, please, Mr. Yang, my younger brother and sister are also upstairs."
Soon, Ye Ming saw Jing Ziruo and Gurong in the guest room on the second floor.
Jing Ziruo now looks very different from the image of a lively girl some time ago, with sadness in her eyes.
Gu Rong's face didn't look good either, and she was surprised to see Ye Ming coming.
"Tell me what's going on!"
Ye Ming asked with a smile.
Jing Xuanwei briefly talked about their experiences.
In fact, it's not complicated. When they arrived at Anwucheng, they were arrested by the city guards.
Jing Hao and others have become strong men, especially soldiers who are good at martial arts and are very popular in the army.
Only Jing Xuanwei survived because he injured his arm while hunting a tiger and was considered disabled.
Jing Ziruo and Gu Rong also had a hard time. As women, there were too many pairs of eyes staring at them in Anwucheng.
The two of them didn't even dare to leave the inn these two days, so they could only hide here.
Jing Xuanwei used the little money they had left to run around the city, but could not get through the relationship and fish out Jing Hao and others.
"Where are they serving now?"
"In 'Yi' camp, entry and exit are controlled, and outsiders are not allowed to visit."
Jing Xuanwei said with some frustration, then stared at Ye Ming and said,
"Mr. Yang, you are an expert. Since you took the initiative, there must be a solution, right?"
Jing Ziruo and Gu Rong also looked at Ye Ming, they really had no choice.
Ye Ming just smiled and asked:
"You can only make arrangements if you know yourself and the enemy. You should tell Yang why you came to Anwucheng."
Hearing Ye Ming ask this, Gu Rong hesitated and did not speak.
On the other hand, Jing Ziruo said decisively:
"It's time, we can no longer hide this from Mr. Yang.
In fact, we went to Anwucheng to investigate the extermination of the family by General Tang..."
It turns out that when General Tang was wandering around the world in his early years, he had a sworn brother. The two had a close friendship and were each other's confidants.
Later, one person became a border general and the other became a secret agent of the imperial court.
Nowadays, the old owner of Quanzong Village appears to be the leader of the Jianghu forces, but in fact he is the leader of the imperial spies.
After General Tang's accident, as his sworn brother, the old village owner was very suspicious of the real cause of General Tang's death. However, he was seriously injured and could not investigate in person.
Therefore, he sent his son, daughter, and other nephews to investigate the matter.
"In other words, your entire clan is actually the eyes and ears of the imperial court in the world?"
Ye Ming asked with interest.
When Jing Xuanwei saw that Jing Ziruo had revealed his family details, he no longer concealed it:
"Yes, in fact, our visit this time is not just about General Tang, we also want to find out the situation of the imperial spy leader here.
Because a year ago, the imperial espionage leader here cut off contact with the imperial court. The superiors suspected that there was a big problem here in Chenzhou and sent us to investigate. "
"Since you are imperial spies, haven't you been able to contact other spies here to help release him?"
"After we got here, we discovered that all the imperial spies had been wiped out!"
Jing Xuanwei told a very bad news.
Jing Ziruo also knocked on the table angrily:
"He secretly dealt with all the imperial spies and also controlled the most powerful soldiers in the world. What does this Dong Lushan want to do!?"
Dong Lushan is the full name of General Dong. Jing Ziruo calls him by his first name, which shows that he is very dissatisfied with him.
"I see."
Ye Ming smiled and nodded,
"I wonder if you have ever thought about why all the imperial spies were wiped out in one fell swoop?"
"Yes, many spies in the imperial court do not know each other's identities, and most of them use single-line communication to transmit information.
Even if it is exposed, it should not be exposed all at once. "
Hearing Ye Ming's question, Jing Ziruo realized something.
Jing Xuanwei also narrowed his pupils and said:
"The person who has the list of all the spies...
There were only a few people in the court. "
"Are they condoning Dong Lushan's behavior?"
Jing Ziruo's face became extremely ugly.
Jing Xuanwei also took a deep breath, then thought of something, and then said:
“Not everyone is doing it, it’s probably just some people.
Otherwise, no one would allow us to investigate. "
Gu Rong nodded and said: "The adults in the court have never been of the same mind. Those behind us should not be facing Dong Lushan."
After analyzing such results, several people felt heavy in their hearts, but also felt that there was still hope.
There are still people who are fighting against these things.
Ye Ming said: "Brother Jing Hao and the others are skilled in martial arts. They should not suffer much loss in the military camp. We are not in a hurry to save them. Now it is better to go to General Tang's mansion to see the situation."
Jing Xuanwei sighed:
"It's difficult, it's difficult. The current Tang Mansion has been rewarded by Dong Lushan to his most valued adopted son, Lu Qingxu.
Lu Qingxu, as Dong Lushan's adopted son, was also his number one general, and even had the title of the number one general in the world.
In particular, the weapon he used was the 'Bing Sha Halberd' used by General Ye Ming, who was known as the 'unparalleled mass murderer' 1,500 years ago. His combat power was unparalleled in the world.
His residence is heavily defended, and coupled with his own strength, it is too dangerous to explore his residence. "
Ye Ming smiled and said: "The so-called danger varies from person to person. If you believe me, you can find out."
"Mr. Yang said so, of course we believe it!"
Jing Ziruo trusts Ye Ming very much.
Jing Xuanwei and Gu Rong also knew that this person was not a simple person, and were glad that he was willing to help.
Seeing that they agreed, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Since you want me to take action, you have to pay."
"Pay? Mr. Yang, you still ask us for money?"
Jing Ziruo looked at Ye Ming very puzzled.
In her opinion, Mr. Yang does not look like someone who is greedy for petty profits.
Ye Ming smiled and said, "You can't let Yang help in vain, right?"
"But our money is now gone...
Can I owe it first and give it to you later?
Don't worry, we will never default on your debt. "
Jing Ziruo was a little confused.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "How come there is no money? Doesn't Mrs. Gu Rong still have money?"
"My sister-in-law only has a few taels of silver on her, which is a bit short."
Jing Ziruo explained.
Ye Ming looked at Gu Rong with a smile and said:
"Eighty taels."
"Mr. Yang, please don't do this. It really can't be done. I, I can..."
Jing Ziruo said unspeakably.
Ye Ming ignored it and just "looked" at Gu Rong with his eyes closed.
Gu Rong looked calm at first, but in the end she still couldn't withstand Ye Ming's invisible pressure. She sighed softly, took off her shoes, and took out two gold leaves from the shoes.
"Mr. Yang, that's all I have on my body."
When Ye Ming saw the golden leaf, he didn't pick it up. He just said to Gu Rong in a meaningful way:
"Two gold leaves, one is enough."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, and a golden leaf was missing from Gu Rong's hand.
Then, Ye Ming stood up and said with a smile:
"Meet you in the alley outside Lu Mansion at midnight tonight."
After saying that, he went downstairs with a smile.
Seeing Ye Ming leaving, Jing Ziruo and Jing Xuanwei both looked at Gu Rong.
Gu Rong's expression remained unchanged, pointing to the remaining gold leaves and saying:
"When you go out, you should always keep something safe."
Jing Ziruo asked:
"Then sister-in-law, why didn't you tell us in advance?"
"Everyone knows it, so can we still call it a backup?"
Gurong asked rhetorically.
Jing Ziruo thought it made sense and stopped asking any more questions. She just saw that she still had money to spend, and felt a lot more at ease in her heart.
Jing Xuanwei said:
"Brother and sister, does Xiaohao know about this?"
The Xiao Hao in Jing Xuanwei's mouth naturally refers to Jing Hao.
Gu Rong said calmly:
"Of course he knows."
"Really? It just so happens that he's not here right now, so whatever the younger siblings say is whatever they say."
"Are you doubting me?"
Gu Rong looked at Jing Xuanwei with some dissatisfaction.
"No, I just feel that there is something wrong with my siblings hiding money."
Jing Xuanwei saw that Gu Rong seemed to be angry, and he also doubted whether he was overthinking it. After all, it was normal for couples to hide some private money.
It's just that it was Mr. Yang who pointed out this matter. Such an expert would never do meaningless things...
