Chapter 30 Mi Yang rides into the police alone (1)
Shiren loved money as much as his life. When he heard that business was coming to his door, the excitement in his heart was simply indescribable.
He first carefully put the gold nugget in his hand into the box under him, then closed and locked the box.
After locking the box, Shiren was about to walk out.
But after walking a few steps, he turned back and came to the box.
He checked several times that the lock on the box was secure.
After confirming that the box had been locked, Shiren walked out of the secret room completely relieved.
Although it is a secret room, it is not built underground, it is just an ordinary courtyard in the public security county house.
It's just that this courtyard is guarded by many of Shiren's closest confidants.
When Shiren came out, he saw that the courtyard where his life savings was hidden was in dilapidated condition, and a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his face.
"When I surrender General Sun in the future, I need to renovate the county government so that it can be worthy of my status today.
I don’t know what the king is thinking. As the county seat of his former residence, why doesn’t he want to spend some tax money to repair it?”
Shiren was dissatisfied with the dilapidated environment where he lived, and therefore slandered the thrifty Liu Bei who once lived here.
In fact, Shiren had already thought about renovating the Gong'an County House, but he is still under Liu Bei's rule.
If he rashly expands and renovates the county government, if the news reaches Liu Bei's ears, it will have a very bad impact.
However, Shiren could only think about his dissatisfaction with the living environment and Liu Bei in his mind.
He walked up to the confidant who had just reported to him and said in a low tone,
"Where is the envoy? Why don't you quickly lead the way!"
Having delayed his own business, Shiren must look good to his confidant.
After Mi Zhong entered the city, he was taken to a house in the public security county by a man who claimed to be Shiren's personal guard.
The furnishings in this house are very simple. In such a large house, there is only a dining table that is enough for two people to eat.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
Mi Zhong is careful by nature and good at deliberating.
When he saw the extremely simple furnishings in this house, the first judgment in his mind was,
This house should be often used as a private meeting place for the two of them.
In addition, the two people must have discussed confidential matters during their private meeting.
Therefore, there are only two people's tableware and no other furniture in this room to prevent anyone from hiding and eavesdropping.
Mi Zhong looked around in the room alone, wondering if he could still see any clues.
But unfortunately, Mi Zhong was not given much time. At this moment, chaotic footsteps sounded outside the room.
Then the door of the house was pushed open, and a plump man walked in from outside the house.
This man, Mi Zhongguan, was surrounded by everyone and was dressed luxuriously. I guess he was the police guard Shiren at this time.
Mi Zhong quickly saluted Shiren.
After Shiren entered the house and saw Mi Zhong, his face that was originally full of expectation suddenly flashed with suspicion.
He immediately hid behind the bodyguard behind him,
This was not the person Mi Fang sent to discuss business with him before.
This made Shiren instantly suspicious.
After hiding behind his personal guards, Shiren immediately shouted to Mi Zhong,
"Who are you and why are you pretending to be the governor of Nanjun?"
After finishing speaking, Shiren stared at Mi Zhong closely. If Mi Zhong did not give him a satisfactory explanation for a while, he would immediately kill Mi Zhong on the spot.
Seeing Shiren acting like this, Mi Zhong remembered Mi Yang's instructions.
He took out the token from Mi Fang to Mi Yang from his pocket, respectfully handed it to Shi Ren, and said,
"I am indeed the envoy of Governor Mi of Nanjun. I have this token as proof. I also ask General Zhonglang to observe it."
Shiren's official position at this time was to fight against the Japanese invaders.
However, Shiren always suspected that Liu Bei was partial and thought that the position he gave him was too low. For the sake of inner balance, he
Therefore, he always asked his cronies to call him "general" in private to satisfy his sense of vanity.
Mi Zhong bent over and held up the token. Shiren's eyes were good and he naturally saw the token in Mi Zhong's hand at a glance.
In this world, princes are fighting each other, and conspiracies and intrigues are endless.
In order to prevent the enemy from forging tokens to confuse one's own side, every prince's power in the world would leave special marks on the seals of important official positions to make it easier for people in one's own power to identify them.
Shiren's status among the officials in Jingzhou was not low. When he first saw the seal held high in Mi Zhong's hand, he judged at a glance that the seal Mi Fang held in Mi Zhong's hand was genuine.
This is enough to prove that Mi Zhong's identity as the envoy is true.
After confirming this, Shiren's biggest worry disappeared.
But he still had some hesitation in his heart. He didn't understand why Mi Fang suddenly sent a new envoy.
Mi Zhong saw that there was still hesitation on Shiren's face, so he explained,
"Actually, the person sent by the master of the house to meet with General Zhonglang this time is my young master Mi Lang, and I came to meet General Zhonglang first on behalf of my young master."
It is not difficult for Shiren to judge from Mi Zhong's words that the Mi Lang he spoke of was Mi Fang's son Mi Yang.
Hearing what Mi Zhong said, Shiren suddenly realized and said, "It turns out to be that disease."
Shiren originally wanted to talk about the sick man, but in the middle of his words, he saw Mi Zhong present,
In order to prevent some words from reaching Mi Fang's ears and causing him to be dissatisfied, Shiren immediately changed his words and said,
"It turns out that Zi Sheng is here."
"No wonder, no wonder."
When Mi Zhong heard the word "ill" said by Shiren, anger appeared on his face, but in order to complete Mi Yang's mission, he had to remain calm for now.
After knowing that Mi Yang was the real messenger sent by Mi Fang, he already had the answer to the question he had just suspected.
Mi Yang is twenty years old this year and is already an adult.
The reason why Mi Fang sent him this time instead of sending the people who had been in contact with him before was probably to let Mi Yang take over his business step by step.
After understanding this, Shiren asked Mi Zhongdao, "Since Master Ling is the envoy, where is Master Ling now?"
Mi Zhong said according to what Mi Yang taught him,
"The young master and the son of General Guan have led the army to a few miles outside Gong'an City.
Because the son of the general concerned is here and the young master has difficulty moving, he ordered me to come ahead and report to General Zhonglang."
"He said he has something secret and important to report, and I hope Zhonglang will take it seriously."
After hearing Mi Zhong's words that Mi Yang had something confidential to report, Shiren's face immediately became serious.
He and Mi Fang were already like grasshoppers on the same rope because of reselling military supplies to each other.
For such a business partner who shared life and death, Shiren had no doubts about him, but he encountered difficulties.
He immediately said, "I would like to meet your young master, but he is with Guan Ping.
You also said that he has difficulty moving, how can I meet him in private?"
Mi Zhong said, "Young Master once said to me before entering the city,
Guan Ping leads the army outside the public security city. General Zhonglang is the public security guard general. Out of his responsibility to protect the territory and the people, he can use the excuse of duty to send envoys to inquire about the purpose of Guan Ping leading the army."
"And General Zhonglang sent an envoy to inquire about Guan Xiaowei's intention to come. Naturally, Guan Xiaowei also sent an envoy to the city to give a detailed report to General Zhonglang.
My young master is currently the Lord of Jingzhou, Bo, and is the perfect candidate for the envoy of Guan Ping. Under this circumstance, it will not be difficult to meet General Zhonglang."
Mi Zhong's words made Shiren suddenly realize, yes, why didn't he think of this reason?
No wonder the king who is good at understanding people once praised Mi Yang for his intelligence. Now it seems that Mi Yang is well-deserved.
Shiren had the intention to adopt Mi Zhong's suggestion, but he had something in mind and had to be more careful about some things.
After all, this time Guan Ping led his troops to the police, and Shiren had already had doubts about his intentions.
Therefore, Shiren first told Mi Zhong, "You stay in the city, and I will send an envoy to Guanping's army."
Then Shiren turned to one of his confidants and said,
"Zhao Zhubo, I would like to trouble you to go to Guan Pingjun."
The person named by Shiren was named Zhao Sui. He was Shiren's boss and it was Shiren who was in the city.
One of the few people who can be completely trusted.
Zhao Sui naturally did not refuse his master's orders.
But at this time, Shiren stepped forward and whispered to Zhao Sui,
"If this son Mi Yang comes alone, it is enough to prove that this son is sincerely discussing confidential matters with me. You can safely bring him to see me.
But if Mi Yang doesn't come alone, remember,
Don't make any noise among Guan Ping's army, everything is as usual,
But once Mi Yang comes to the city,
You kill him and the people he brought with him immediately without any hesitation."
Upon hearing Shiren's whispered instructions, Zhao Sui was stunned for a moment.
But he soon understood why Shiren did this.
Therefore, after he answered Shiren with "only", he immediately turned around and left.
Shiren is greedy by nature, and such people are naturally suspicious. The instructions he just gave to Zhao Sui were just in case.
After Zhao Sui took the order and left, Shiren looked at Mi Zhong with evil intentions and said,
"Just stay well and wait for your son to come."
As Shiren waved his right hand, his bodyguards vaguely surrounded Mi Zhong.
