As soon as Wang Jian came in, he knelt on the ground with his head and pestled the ground, and apologized with words.
This was not an act, but Wang Jian was really frightened.
Last night, he suddenly received a call from Master Shen, saying that the spy in Jingbei responsible for the Qin family's surveillance and undercover investigation had been exposed, but he immediately changed and adjusted his methods and methods.
Although there are no extreme or accusatory words in Qianli Note, Wang Jian understands how big a flaw it will be if the secret agents reveal their identities and they still know nothing about it, and it is a serious problem that will cause the entire operation to be completely aborted.
While breaking into a cold sweat with fear, he removed all the spies from the north overnight and re-planned and arranged the situation. Hide agents deeper without compromising the mission. At the same time, sort out the connections between the spies, and immediately cut off those that should be cut off. In addition, Wang Jian asked all four departments to conduct self-examination, and this incident was directly recorded on the resumes of all the four departments and regarded as a stain.
After his own internal affairs were settled, Wang Jian did not dare to delay any longer and immediately ran to Shen Hao to apologize.
Shen Hao waved his hand, asked Wang Jian to get up, and said: "The person who discovered the flaw in your Blackwater this time was Mr. Jiang Cheng's spies. By coincidence, I went back to my hometown and saw through the manpower arranged by Blackwater. The specific situation is up to you. Go find Master Jiang to find out. This time the problem of black water must be solved completely at once, otherwise you will not be so lucky next time."
Accountability is not necessary. After all, there was no impact this time. But rectification is necessary and it is necessary to ensure that the same problem does not reoccur again.
Wang Jian naturally responded repeatedly, and he was relieved at this moment. He understood that Master Shen had given him a chance this time, but it also meant that if a similar problem occurs next time, the old and new accounts will be settled together, and the outcome will be worrying. .
"Is there anything else?" Shen Hao did not continue the topic of Heishui's own mistakes. Since Wang Jian came here, he also wanted to ask about the recent progress of the package.
"Sir, you asked me to investigate some distant relatives of the Lu family."
"Oh? Tell me." Shen Hao leaned on the back of his chair and motioned for Wang Jian to continue.
Wang Jian continued: "Sir, as you expected, those distant relatives of the Lu family are indeed hiding something fishy. We first checked the kinship relationships of the five generations of the Lu family, and then used the local government's roster as a context to search, and it was very difficult to find out. I checked quickly but found nothing wrong.
But according to your reminder, we did not rely solely on the local government's roster, but used your suggestions to conduct a second round of visits. It turned out that the Lu family had two distant relatives who were separated due to famine in the early years. In terms of seniority, those two families should be from Lu Liang's grandfather's generation. However, there is no connection between these two groups in the Lu family's local government roster. Either they were omitted very early and therefore lacked records, or they were deliberately erased. However, this also proves that, as you expected, the local government's roster is not trustworthy.
Then we found the two branches of the Lu family that had branched off in the early years. One is in Jingnan and the other is in our Jingxi.
No problem was found in the initial inspection, but after further visits and secret investigations, we discovered something else. Although these two branches of the Lu family seem to be doing well now, they are considered to have a small amount of land in the local area, and they belong to wealthy households, and even some of the children of the family. He also entered the official school. But five or six years ago, the days of these two branches of the Lu family were completely different from today. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were poor and hard.
Looking at time alone, the improvement of life of these two branches of the Lu family can be related to the rise of Lu Liang's official career. We have investigated their livelihood, and although it is very hidden, we did find a lot of help and care that was very unexpected. We initially concluded that the forces related to Luliang were providing convenience and assistance, and this allowed these people to make a living. The two branches of the Lu family are getting better.
However, judging from the information obtained during our undercover investigation, these two branches, which have no connection with the Lu family in the local government's roster, have indeed not declared to the public that they are related to Lu Liang, and they are also deliberately hiding their identities... ..”
It started five or six years ago?
Shen Hao frowned a little when he heard this. His original thought was that the connection between Lu Liang and the Qin family should have started after the Qin family and the Lu family became related by marriage. Then Lu Liang would make a fuss about his family's heritage and fall in love with the elixir resources that the Qin family had in hand.
But now it seems that Lu Liang's arrangement should have been arranged earlier than he took the Qin family's line. Are you leaving a way out for the family in advance? This is indeed possible.
Wang Jian continued: "There is also something strange about the young descendants. In the local yamen's roster, these two branches of the Lu family each have thirteen and eleven descendants under the age of fifteen. But during an unannounced visit, we found that Both numbers were underreported. Preliminary verification revealed that they should actually be fifteen and seventeen people."
Shen Hao interrupted: "How are the number of people determined?"
"Sir, it's Wen Po. We found all the Wen Pos in the local area and conducted secret visits. We asked sideways about the number of new children of these two families in the past ten years. We also got Wen Po's account book, which has clear records. "
Wen Po is usually managed by the Yamen. But the management is very loose. Generally, they just maintain the number of stable women in their own jurisdiction and the number of surviving births, and don't care much about the rest. This also breaks out of the cover-up scope of the local government, and the credibility of the intelligence information obtained is very high.
"Have you found anyone?"
"Found it. The children of the two families who are not on the Yamen roster are actually in their respective villages now, but they don't move around much. Moreover, as you expected, there are fluctuations in cultivation. But because I don't dare to alert the snake, , so the test of the opponent's cultivation is only a distant feeling, there is no way to get close, and it is impossible to determine whether these disciples deliberately hidden by the two families belong to the mana fluctuations of the pseudo-evil monks. Follow-up is needed.
However, your guess has been proven so far. Do you think this will allow the secret agent to take another step forward? "
Wang Jian also said the last sentence carefully, because it seems that Lu Liang, a popular big shot in the court, is really making small moves behind the scenes, and it seems very likely that he is involved with the Qin family and has gotten into trouble with the evil monks. dirty water. As long as we can observe closely and confirm that the zhenqi fluctuations on the hidden disciples of those two families belong to the pseudo-evil monks, it will be a sure thing.
However, Lu Liang's identity was too sensitive and involved so much that Shen Hao did not dare to make an easy decision and had to be cautious again and again. After being silent for a while, Shen Hao said: "Don't act rashly. Just keep an eye on them from a distance. You must not get close to them without my order! Do you understand?"
Wang Jian did not dare to object and quickly agreed.
"In addition, the Qin family's files can begin to be finalized. Everyone must have a special arrest plan. Once the order is given, you must ensure that no one is leaked."
"My subordinate understands!"
