Late at night, Dongcheng.
In the same house, Wang Lin saw Bai Lang again in the dark courtyard.
"See the knife!"
"No need to be polite. Tell me? What's going on?"
Wang Lin responded and began to tell the story in detail about the outcome of his conversation with Five Mountain General Niu Jian's people during the day when he was serving wine in the inn.
"Zu Dao, here is Niu Jian's confidant Zhang Jue, and four of Zhang Jue's brothers. They are here to discuss the business that was not concluded before. The purpose is still the same as before, the most urgent thing is to get rid of it as soon as possible. Approval of yellow and white goods. He also said that he would use spiritual stones as a reward. In addition, he could increase the amount of spiritual stones, three in half a year.
And this time they also got to the bottom of it, saying that all the goods left this time were yellow and white goods from Akashi Country. These goods were finally transported to our Hong Dynasty, and they were originally planned to be shipped out slowly. But now that the situation is unavoidably worrying, they plan to get rid of these things first and replace them with other things, such as rice, cloth, etc. "
"Tsk tsk, I'm willing to pay the price. It seems that there must be a lot of yellow and white goods in that boat."
"Zu Dao is right, otherwise Niu Jianjian wouldn't be so generous. So do you think you should continue to refuse this time or talk about it in depth?"
"Let's talk. There is no need to continue to increase the price. But tell them that this time they have to pay first and then deliver the goods. The spirit stone must arrive one day in advance, otherwise the ship will not be able to dock at the dock and all transactions will be cancelled.
Also, you should check their tone and ask if they want to stop their business in Hong Chao to avoid disaster. Can you introduce the spiritual stone channel in their hands? If this thing is done, if they come back in the future, if I am still here at the dock, I will continue to give them a fixed berth and convenience.
They don't need to reply to the latter one right now, just pass it on.
Also, keep your mouth tight so they don't find out. Understand? "
"Don't worry, Zuodao, I understand." Wang Lin paused and then said, "Zudao, there is one more thing."
"explain."
Wang Lin continued: "The guide you asked to find Daomen Village in Que'er Mountain found him before. He was a person who rebelled from Daomen Village last year. He used to be a cook in the village and is very familiar with the routes in and out of the village."
"Rebeled? Why betrayed?" Bai Lang frowned slightly. I'm worried that I won't be able to trust this kind of person.
Wang Lin then explained: "There is no food, and the cooks can't eat enough, so they have no choice but to rebel. Now he continues to work as a cook in a small house in the boat gang. The information dealer we were looking for found him, and he was willing to help lead the way. It is said that eight out of ten people in the village have escaped. As long as you give them money, he will lead the way in."
After Bailang heard this, he put away his worries. But he didn't feel like he was safe, so he thought for a moment and said, "Don't rush to contact him yet. Buy the information, and I'll let someone get to know this person first before talking about it."
"Okay Zuodao, I will have someone give the message to Zhang Wu tomorrow and ask him to bring it to you."
"good."
End the secret meeting. Bailang jumped up and down in the shadows as usual, covering himself with darkness as he walked back.
The sudden silence of the night was filled with rapid sounds of horse hooves and a cry with a strange accent.
"Kuyu, hurry up! Kureha, hurry up."
Running a horse in the city is a serious crime. Under normal circumstances, if you dare to do this, you will be thrown by a yamen servant or a wanderer on the street and trip the horse. You deserve to be thrown to death. If you are not dead, you will be sent to the yamen to be punished. Even if you escape the death penalty, you will still be exiled thousands of miles away or sent to a criminal barracks to suffer the punishment of death.
But there are exceptions.
Or when the city is under martial law, those with special tokens can run horses in the city. Or if it is an urgent matter, those with special permission can run around the city. In these two situations, passers-by avoid themselves. If they fail to avoid it, their death will be in vain if they are hit.
Red feathers are the tail feathers of a red flying bird, bright red, and a full foot long.
Red feathers are often used to convey military information in the military. It represents eight hundred miles of expedited service.
And "Red Feather Urgent" refers to an emergency military situation more than 800 miles away. It is one of the "special circumstances" where you can run a horse in the city.
Bai Lang was shocked and soon realized something. He quickly reached the edge of the main road and stood in the shadows at the corner to look. In less than ten breaths, the sound of horse hooves came nearby, and a total of three horses were seen running from the south gate, heading towards the city lord's mansion in the north gate.
The three knights had wooden boxes on their backs, and the wooden boxes were covered with small flags the size of palms. Each small flag represents a city! Looking at this posture, news is going to spread all over the country!
As for the news, Bailang felt that apart from the war at Pengshan Pass in the south, there could be nothing else worthy of Hong Yu rushing to send them to a remote place like Yongchuan City.
Watching the three knights galloping past, the voices soon faded away. Bailang retracted his gaze and turned back to his mansion. He made himself a cup of hot tea in the study, and then sat on the chair without moving for a long time. The thoughts in my mind could not calm down for a long time.
Because Bailang knew that military intelligence was coming, but the top management must have known about it long ago. After all, Fei Yu is much faster than an urgent messenger. But everything was calm before that, and there may be many twists and turns that cannot be told to others. And it was time for him to speed up his plans.
Just as Bai Lang's thoughts were not calm, Feng Mingyuan's study in the city lord's mansion was also brightly lit.
Feng Mingyuan had a straight face and walked back and forth quickly with a Hongyu Urgent Report in his hand, looking restless.
"I didn't expect that the imperial court would do so much to prevent families from escaping. Hmm, it's like preventing thieves! They even used real and fake methods!"
Feng Mingyuan's tone was unkind, and while his anger was rising, there was also some joking at the same time. The feeling of being underestimated.
Zhou Zhonghao just took the time to go back home this afternoon. Before he could take a nap, he had to rush to the city lord's mansion again. Now that Hong Yu has arrived, the situation is completely different from before.
"Sir, the atmosphere in the temple is like this. Those who advocate "subject to law" have fooled many people. These people do not dare to offend the royal family, but they spread all their grievances on the heads of various aristocratic families. Now it has become even worse. , treating the aristocratic family and the dynasty as separate. This trend is now even more unstoppable.
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that the two pieces of information before and after are deliberately confusing the view. "
Feng Mingyuan shook his head, with a sneer on his face, and said: "I said before that the war was stable and that it had passed the most difficult offensive and defensive stage. It was planned to send peace envoys to Yunyan to negotiate a truce. But it was less than half a month ago, and Hong Yu rushed to rush Notify the whole area. This is to block the retreat of all aristocratic families!
Who dares to run now? The people are watching. As long as they dare to run away against the wind, the "legalist" gang in the country will dare to use the people's grievances to kill the aristocratic family. When the time comes, even His Majesty will not be able to take sides. This move is really powerful! "
