Before dawn, Shen Hao was waiting in the tea room of Fu Shi Yamen in Jingxi Town. This was because he looked familiar, and the governor's office opened the back door for him in advance before he arrived for business. It snowed again in the Imperial City last night, and it was unusually cold, so it was much warmer in the waiter's room.
Originally, Shen Hao was planning to go straight to Jiang Cheng's residence overnight, but later he felt it was inappropriate. Although the matter was urgent, it would not disturb his rest on the summit. So he turned around and came to the Zhenfushi Yamen to wait.
Because he came too early, the door even brought some pancakes to Shen Hao for breakfast. But there was no small talk. After a few words of greeting, he left because Shen Hao's face was too cold and he didn't dare to take the opportunity to approach the door.
Jiang Cheng arrived at the public house shortly after Chen Zhengshi. As soon as he sat down, he heard his adjutant say that Shen Baihu of Fengri City had been waiting for a long time.
"Shen Hao? Why is he here so early? Let him in."
The adjutant responded and soon led Shen Hao in.
Jiang Chengzheng took a sip of the tea brewed by the door, looked up and saw Shen Hao's face, and said with a smile: "Sit down, why do you look so bad?"
"It made your Excellency laugh." Shen Hao replied and then remained silent. He waited until the adjutant in the private room left the room and closed the door before continuing: "My Lord, something happened regarding hypocrisy."
The pseudo-evils are the group of pseudo-evil monks represented by Ma San who were active in the Jingji Dynasty. A few days ago, Shen Hao sent an urgent report to the Zhenfushi Yamen about this matter, asking for assistance and support. Now, the detection disks in the hands of spies outside the teleportation circles in various major cities were urgently mobilized by the Zhenfushi Yamen. This also includes some manpower.
Jiang Cheng's trust in Shen Hao is obvious to all. He basically responds to his requests and completely allows him to develop freely, and will go out of his way to help him out. This kind of ascent is rare.
And Shen Hao has indeed earned Jiang Cheng's trust. He has never let Jiang Cheng down step by step since Licheng.
So even though Shen Hao had a frosty expression, Jiang Cheng didn't think there was any big problem and continued to smile: "What could happen? Just don't say you lost the person."
Jiang Ben meant it to be a joke. After understanding Shen Hao's arrangement, he never thought that three living people could fly away under such an intense and secret pursuit.
but......
"It was the fault of my subordinates that Ma San and the others lost track." Shen Hao had to put his fault on his face.
"Lost?!" Jiang Cheng then put away the smile on his face and sat up straight, feeling very surprised. Because he also felt that this was unreasonable, and at the same time he also realized that once Ma San and the others lost their traces, they might not be able to recover the sixty-one carts of grain. This is a typical case of stealing chicken but losing the rice, and it is a big stain. , it’s not good for anyone.
"Yes, sir. There has been no trace of Ma San and the others for three days. It's like they have disappeared from the world."
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, knocked on the table, and said solemnly: "So you are here to receive punishment today?"
"My subordinate made a mistake in judgment and should be punished? However, I disturbed you early today and there is an inference that prevents me from jumping to conclusions? I would like to ask your help to correct it."
Jiang Cheng remained silent and raised his head to signal Shen Hao to continue? He knew that the following words should be the reason why Shen Hao came here so early today.
"Sir, my subordinate has repeatedly deduced Ma San's movement trajectory for three days? I have never figured out how he disappeared from our targeted investigation network. In the end, all the questions were stuck on November 3 10. The period after he and Zhang Lie separated.
Because our entire observation range is only the first section outside Wuyang City that cannot be covered? As long as Ma San and others chose to walk through the mountains and forests at that time, they could avoid it and create a time gap for themselves.
Combined with Ma San's purpose, his subordinates believed that it was impossible for them to hide in the mountains for a long time. They must have made a careful plan before taking action? They used a large number of storage bags to transport the goods to the barbarians quickly and lightly.
So there is no problem with the entire troubleshooting network we deployed? The problem lies in the point that I ignored before. "
Jiang Cheng interrupted: "You mean the problem lies in the section outside Wuyang City?"
"Yes, sir. Outside Wuyang City is a mountainous and hilly area. The roads are winding and complicated, and there are many trails that can be passed. Ma San and the others are not low in cultivation. It will not be difficult for them to take this difficult road over mountains and ridges. As long as you walk two hundred and thirty-one miles north, you can completely disappear from our investigation network."
"Two hundred and thirty-one miles?"
Shen Hao took out the military-grade Jingxi map he had borrowed from his storage bag before. He came to the table and pointed to a small town sign above: "Sir, please see, this is Shuangshi Town. As long as Ma San and the others are hiking in the forest, It can be reached in two hundred and thirty-one miles, and then you can go directly to Tanshi through the small teleportation circle in Shuangshi Town? Then you can come out of Tanshi and continue to skip the private roads and official roads. You can reach Xiaochuan in a circle? As long as they When we get to Xiaochuan, given the terrain and complicated situation there, our investigation network simply cannot accurately sort them out."
"This is a military town."
"My subordinates know."
"The Shuangshi Town you are referring to belongs to the Jingxi Army, while Tanshi belongs to the Southern Frontier Army."
"My subordinate understands."
Jiang Cheng took a deep look at Shen Hao who was bowing down, and secretly thought that he was still the same bold character, he really dared to think of anything.
"Since you know everything, do you think your deduction is reasonable? Ma San is just a hypocrite. Even if he has a group of evil monks behind him, how can he bring the Jingxi Army and the southern frontier army together to cause chaos? ?”
"Sir, it is easier to be ignored just because it seems impossible. My subordinates did not think about it at all before, but later after ruling out all possibilities, they had to overthrow everything and re-deduce it to discover this possibility.
Zhang Lie came to report that he felt the same temperament he had in the two people Ma San brought. Zhang Lie was born in the military and is also your old confidant. You know best what kind of temperament he had before he came to the black market to work as a spy.
In addition, the more than 20 storage bags brought by Ma San have exactly the same capacity and appearance. They are most likely to be standard equipment, and the most likely place to equip a large number of standard storage bags is the military.
In addition, do you still remember that the three snake men said before that the first person who contacted them was not Ma San or those evil monks, but another group of mysterious people. It is this group of mysterious people who connect evil monks and barbarians. The subordinates believed that the mysterious people hiding behind the evil monks should have revealed their tricks this time. "
Jiang Chengde's breathing became a little rapid and he felt his chest was tight. He drank all the water in the tea cup in one breath, stood up and walked back and forth in the public house with a gloomy expression.
