Chapter 104: Worry (two in one)(1/2)
Just as Liu Feng was inspecting the horse camp, he was in a yard somewhere in a brothel west of Yecheng City.
"What's going on with your people? I've been sneaking into the government office for so many days, and there's no movement at all?"
In the room, a middle-aged fat man wearing a golden silk satin robe and a rich face was staring at a beautiful woman sitting opposite him with gloomy eyes.
The woman took a sip of tea slowly, and her charming peach blossom eyes shook the man, "Master Fan, why are you anxious? Where is the government office? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dragon's pond and tiger's den. If it is successful so easily, then Liu Zhe can live to this day?"
Wanchou rolled his throat, looked away, and said coldly: "Master Chen, now the city is full of spies from Liu Zhe. These guys are like mad dogs, staring at our people to bite. The eyeliner and strongholds that have developed over the years have almost been pulled out. If we continue to wait, it will be a problem for us to be exposed!"
Hearing this, the woman Chen Qing couldn't help but show a hint of caution on her face. Although she didn't want to admit it, the abilities of Liu Zhe and the factory guards were not inferior to those of the secret inspectors at all. They were even more professional. Since Liu Zhe entered the city, their people have not taken advantage of it!
She was silent for a while and said, "After that girl entered the government office, she was like a rock sinking into the sea, and even I had no news about her."
"In this case, we can't wait for her alone, we have to do something."
Chen Qing looked at Wan Chou vigilantly, "What do you want to do? Don't do it randomly. Now the entire government office has three floors and three floors outside the three floors. Liu Zhe is still sitting in a carriage even if he goes on a trip, and he is surrounded by a large group of guards. It is simply airtight. The people of the factory guard are waiting for us to take action. Your rash action will only expose us faster."
"Then just wait like this? We can wait, but the Admiral cannot wait. The superiors have ordered that if we continue to do nothing, we should not go back. The secret inspection department will not raise idle people!"
Wanchou was forced to do nothing. If it weren't for this, he would have been full and he would have to provoke the mad dogs of the factory guards. He would have evacuated here long ago, and whoever can do it would go.
“It’s a bit too much to say we don’t do anything.”
Chen Qing stood up, twisted his snake's waist and walked to the side, opened the window, and looked at the dark night in the distance, "There is a lot of fun in the south of the city recently. Liu Zhe suddenly collected so many ships, and 90% were intended to transport troops and attack other places. We can report this news first."
"Can this work? The admiral asked us to assassinate Liu thief."
"Why can't it work? This news is also very important, okay, you just report it like this. Liu Zhe has been collecting ships in a large number of ways recently. Based on reliable information, the bandit army will soon go downstream and capture Panhe and Ningyang prefectures. The purpose is to cut off the canal and cut off the food routes of the northern border troops!"
After hearing this, Fan Chou suddenly stood up, "Isn't this news yet?"
“Aren’t you sure?”
"Are you sure?"
Chen Qing rolled his eyes and did not continue to entangle with the scope of the problem. Instead, he continued: "The canal grain channel is the lifeblood of the northern border army. Once it is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable. If the Admiral gets this news, he will definitely be in a state of great anxiety and probably won't have time to stare at this place."
"This is not necessarily the case. If Liu Zhe was successfully assassinated, then what you said would not have happened."
The sphere of argument.
"If the Admiral really wants to do this, you can ask him to send someone else over, or even come by himself, anyway, I can't do it."
Chen Qing turned around and pointed outside, smiling and said with a smile: "In this Yecheng, not to mention those soldiers wearing armor, there are only two thousand factory guards of the same nature as us, and how many of us are there? Just this little man wants to assassinate Liu Zhe. How to assassinate? Do you use your eyes?"
"Master Chen, don't be excited. This, haven't we successfully infiltrated the government office?"
Fan Chou smiled bitterly. How dare he report this way? He doesn't think he's life is long? Chen Qing has a backer behind him, but he doesn't have one.
"Don't you know how big the government office is? Successfully sneaking in does not mean you can see Liu Zhe. If you can't even meet someone, why are you talking about assassination?"
Although he successfully arranged his subordinates to enter the government office, Chen Qing did not have much expectations for whether she could successfully assassinate Liu Zhe. After all, the factory guards are not vegetarians.
Seeing Fan Chou's appearance as his parents died, Chen Qing sighed, "You don't have to worry about the above me, I'll write it."
"real."
Fan Chou suddenly looked up, his face full of excitement, "Master Chen, I won't say anything. If you have any assignments in the future, just give me orders."
"Okay, just go back if you have nothing to do. We will meet less during this period, so as not to be found by the factory guards outside."
Wanchou stood up and said, "Master Chen, then I'll go back first and say goodbye."
After he left the yard, a woman in a black tights suddenly appeared behind Chen Qing. "Master, the purpose of this old fox coming here is obviously to let you come forward to reply to the Admiral on his behalf, why are you--"
"Of course I have my reasons. You can go around the government office tonight to see if you can sneak in. If not, forget it, don't force it."
"yes!"
······
Government office, plum blossom garden.
Ning Ziyan wore a veil and held her chin to look at the moon in the sky. She has been here for several days and has been locked in this yard and can't go anywhere. Not to mention seeing the thief leader, there is not even a man in this yard, all of whom are women, which is different from her own imagination.
"It's not bad to keep doing this, it's just a little boring."
When she was in the Zhou Mansion, she was also a canary locked in a cage. She learned this and that every day. Although she changed her cage here, at least she was free to do her time and had no worries about food and drink. Apart from not being able to leave, she was very free.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Ning Ziyan suddenly raised her waist and saw a slim shadow walking outside in the distance.
"Isn't that Huan'er? I haven't sleeped so late, where do I want to go? This girl must be weird."
Thinking of this, she grabbed a marten coat next to her and wrapped her delicate body, and chased her outside, but she lost it as soon as she came outside.
Looking at the dark bamboo forest, Ning Ziyan plucked up the courage and walked around it for a few times, but in the end she still gained nothing. She had to return to her room. It was not until the second half of the night that she saw her maid Huaner quietly return here.
"What the hell is this girl doing? No, she's here!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps slowly approaching, she immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. After a while, the footsteps slowly left.
Ning Ziyan opened her eyes and reached out to cover her chest. At that moment, she felt that her heart was about to jump out. What is this ring? What did she do when she was so late?
With such questions, she fell asleep unknowingly.
The next morning, Ning Ziyan opened her eyes and saw a bright melon-shaped face at first sight.
"Miss, you are awake. I have prepared the washing tools for you."
"Ah, oh."
Ning Ziyan forced herself to get out of the bed calmly, then washed her as usual, and then ate breakfast. Nothing seemed to have changed, as if what she saw last night was just a dream.
"Miss, Manager Liu just now asked someone to come over to pass the message, and asked the lady to go to her place after breakfast."
"Manager Liu? I understand."
Ning Ziyan took the handkerchief handed over by Huan'er and wiped the corner of her mouth, "I'll just go over alone, you can do your business."
"OK."
After seeing Huan'er leaving with something, Ning Ziyan also walked towards the direction where Manager Liu lived. She made up her mind that no matter what the maid was doing, she would report the matter first, so as not to get involved in something in the future.
······
On the other hand, Liu Feng summoned An Tai, the logistics manager early in the morning and asked him to arrange personnel to buy horses at Beifeng Horse Farm.
"This is a token of Beifeng Horse Farm. If you ask someone to bring it with you, it may be useful at that time."
"Yes, lord."
An Tai took the token with both hands and hurried down to arrange for the manpower to set off.
Liu Feng stood up, walked to the yard outside, and suddenly spoke: "Have you cleaned up the mice in the city recently?"
"Report to the Lord, it has been almost cleaned up, and the remaining remnants can no longer pose any threat."
"That's good. You're now sent to Shitian Town, take the mother and daughter before, and settle in the government office."
Liu Feng said lightly.
"I'll do it now."
Ishitian Town.
"Uncle Zhang, give me two meat buns!"
A little girl wearing a new cotton jacket stood pretty in front of the bun stall and handed out three cents.
"Okay, I'll pack it for you now."
Zhang Gen, the owner of the bun stall, took out two buns from the steamer quickly, wrapped them with a lotus leaf, and handed them to the little girl, "Be careful of being hot."
"It's not in the way."
The little girl handed the money to Zhang Hen, quickly took the bun with both hands, raised her head, and showed a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you are such a good person. I blamed you wrongly before."
When the man heard this, his cheeks twitched and showed a hint of embarrassing smile, "Haha, go back quickly. The weather is cold, and the buns will not taste good if they are cold."
"Well, then I'll leave."
The little girl held the bun in both hands and jumped away.
Seeing this, a man who bought straw sandals next to him licked his lips and walked over with his hands together, "Brother Zhang, let me have two buns."
Although the drought has passed, the food prices have not fallen but risen. He relies on the little money to sell straw sandals, not to mention that he didn't eat breakfast, but whether he could eat the lunch meal is still unclear.
Zhang Gen glanced at the man who bought shoes and said lightly: "Two buns cost 16 cents."
"Sixteen articles!"
The man glared at his eyes and his voice suddenly rose, "It's so expensive, don't you grab it!"
"If you like to buy or not, just this is the price."
Zhang Gen was fearless and said that the food prices are rising now, so he has no worries about selling these buns.
"But you obviously only charged the girl three cents, why did it take my turn to ask for sixteen cents?"
Hearing this, Zhang Gen's face froze, and then said hard: "The bun is mine, I'm happy, do you care?"
"You - OK, you're amazing. Such expensive buns can't afford them."
