No one likes that someone around him will rush up to drag his legs at any time, and Emperor Sun is no exception.
Sun Quan issued the order, and several days have passed, but Ji Yan has not made much progress.
Ji Yan is recommended by Zhang Wen, but it does not mean that Ji Yan is Zhang Wen’s person.
Soon, under Sun Quan's observation, he discovered that Ji Yan was a knife.
A knife goes straight, with only a single edge, no turning back.
Originally, Sun Quan wanted Zhang Wen to make a knife, but although Zhang Wen was not smart, he was not too stupid. He knew that this job was not easy to do, but he couldn't refuse. In the end, he pushed Ji Yan up, which temporarily blocked Sun Quan's fire spitting mouth.
Hunting the earth, uh, what Emperor Sun wants to do, actually the gentry and heroes around Wu are aware of it.
In the past two days, Ji Yan wanted to find some breakthroughs, but the gentry and wealthy people in Wujun had already received the news, and they all closed their heads and tails. How could Ji Yan catch any flaws?
Ji Yan claimed to be upright, and then felt that she could not do anything like Lu Yi. However, as the time period given by Sun Quan approached, Ji Yan couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
『School Affairs..." Ji Yan's deputy, Xu Biao said, 『It's better... let's leave this matter to you here?"
"You?" Ji Yan glanced a little guess in her heart, frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Biao said: "Now that matters are urgent, so you should follow the power."
The word "following power" means heavy and heavy.
Ji Yan stared at Xu Biao, then closed her eyes after a while, "Well! But... be careful..."
Xu Biao bowed and then left first.
Ji Yan's fingers twitched slightly, as if she wanted to lift them up several times, and called Xu Biao to stop, but in the end, Ji Yan did not stop Xu Biao, but just watched Xu Biao go away silently, and then she felt like she was watching something of her and walked with Xu Biao...
As for what it is, Ji Yan can't explain clearly.
In Wujun Jiadefang.
Since Sun Quan bowed his head and admitted his mistake, the atmosphere in the yard has been relatively tense. Not only were there court officials patrolling back and forth on the streets, but even household servants of the big surnames also participated. They also warned a group of rangers and prodigal sons that they have been tighter recently and have less trouble. Whenever they see strange faces wandering away from outside, they will report immediately.
Xu Biao was wearing a simple deep dress with a slightly tilted collar, revealing the gray middle dress inside. He was wearing a wrinkled headscarf on his head, and his hair was a little loose. His face was haggard, and he was holding a lacquer box that was not big or small in his hand.
Well, except for his expression, there is nothing else that Xu Biao specially found. After all, he has been staying up all day and night these days, and his face is extremely poor, which is quite appropriate.
Unlike later film and television dramas, some Lu Jun, who were hard and simple, looked like corrupt officials, and their wax on their heads and foundation on their faces could simply arm the company...
"Stop, where did you come from?"
Xu Biao was stopped as soon as he turned around a street intersection in Jiadefang.
Fang Ding looked at Xu Biao up and down, with a look of suspicion and guard against him.
"Xiao, Xiaomin is from Jiaozhou. He paid tribute to Wu last year..." Xu Biao pretended to be a Jiaozhou accent and stuttered to Fangding in front of him.
"Oh, I'm still half an official, ha, I'm not asking where you are from, but where you are going now?" Although Xu Biao's clothes are poor, he heard that he is not an idle man, so naturally he eased his attitude.
『So that's it...』 Xu Biao made a sudden appearance, then took out a copy of the road from his body and handed it over, 『Xiaomin is now walking in the Zhu family cloth shop in the east of the city... Today's trip was to go to the yard to deliver cloth samples...』
"Cloth style?" Fang Ding asked, then looked at the lacquer box and nodded, "Okay, let's go."
After dealing with this inspection, Xu Biao continued to move forward. When he was about to enter the Gu mansion, he was investigated by the Gu family servants. This time, even the paint box was opened and his body was searched.
After seeing nothing unusual, Gu's servant entered the mansion through the corner gate with a paint box and asked Xu Biao to wait outside.
After a long time, someone came out and threw the paint box back to Xu Biao, and gave him a slogan with "Jiadefang Gu" stamped, and threatened: "Be careful when delivering goods. If the cloth is not suitable, I will recognize your appearance, and there will be trouble at that time!"
『That is nature, nature…』
Xu Biao took away the paint box and the goods, and left immediately. He lowered his head and left the gate, turned into an alley outside Jiadefang, looked around and saw that no one followed him, and then flashed into a small courtyard.
In the courtyard, there were several people waiting anxiously. After seeing Xu Biao, they immediately came forward.
Xu Biao handed the paint box and goods in his hand to a person next to him, and then pulled off the wrinkled snail on his head, "Where is that boy?"
"Inside the side room."
Xu Biao nodded, and then said, "I will first imitate the goods, if it is done, then...
Xu Biao gestured on his chin with his hands.
Among the previous few people, a person with slender fingers had already taken the goods, then held it in his hand and pondered it for a while. He looked at the light with his head raised for a while, then took out a soft stone similar to gypsum from his arms, took the carving knife and carved it on the spot.
About half an hour later, the man with slender fingers blew the dust powder and said, "Okay," then took out a few portions of red ink from his arms, picked two of them, mixed them slightly, stained some and printed them on the waste paper aside, and then made the rich and bright increase and decrease on the ink, and finally covered it on another blank sheet...
"It's done!" Xu Biao had finished washing and put on a bright robe. The original down-and-out form was completely gone. When he saw the freshly baked "radish seal", he laughed, "The big thing was done!"
Generally, there are certain levels of goods and quotations from powerful and noble families. For example, the goods and quotations that Xu Biao had obtained before, which only wrote the name of the shop and the surname of the owner, were the lowest level and could only be used as a complicated matter in the mansion for a plan. It is of little significance outside and cannot be used as a way to travel far.
However, Xu Biao didn't want to go out at all, but wanted to send it in.
The previous cargo quotation was covered on the Zhu family cloth shop, and the fixed number of cloth could only be transported from the Zhu family cloth shop according to the mark on the cargo quotation. Now there is a blank cargo quotation, so why don’t you transport something if you want to transport something?
Xu Biao smiled grimly, and then signaled slightly in the direction of the room.
The subordinate understood, so he opened the padlock in the side room and walked in. After a while, there was a fluttering and dull sound, like a fish struggling on the shore. After a while, the subordinate walked out and nodded to Xu Biao.
"When it's night, put a sack and tie some stones..." Xu Biao said slowly, "Do you know if you're stricter? After things are done, you will get a lot of rewards!"
Everyone answered it.
After all, it is not easy to deal with Gu.
And for Xu Biao, what can prove himself better than having Gu’s family?
At dusk, two vehicles transporting vegetables, meat and poultry arrived at the Gu Family Corner Gate. Most people, the vegetables are not fresh at dusk, but the dishes of the gentry were not picked in the morning, but were picked and delivered now, and they were naturally fresh.
The street inspections were all aimed at some suspicious people. They took the goods like this and led them to walk openly on the street, which did not arouse much suspicion. Not only were the court officials too lazy to ask, but even the Gu family servants saw that the weak mule pulling the cart was walking slowly, they also slapped his butt on the side so that the vehicle could go faster.
After entering the Gu's corner gate, when loading and unloading, for some reason, one of the axles of a truck broke and the vehicle suddenly fell on the side yard, and the vegetables and fruits on the truck fell all over the floor!
"What's going on?" The kitchen manager glared and ignored the car. He shouted at the falling vegetables, fruits and vegetables, "This is all for noble people to eat. It is contaminated with mud and dust, and it is damaged. How can it be used again?"
In fact, if vegetables, fruits and vegetables were not really broken, falling to the ground would not be a big deal. After all, they had to be cleaned and cooked before eating. But the kitchen manager took this opportunity to bite these fruits and vegetables to death and they would not be used, and they had to retreat.
The "hired workers" responsible for transportation and transportation can never talk about kitchen management. They can't say a few words in a daze. In the end, they can only move the intact car down according to the kitchen management, and then go back and send another car, and bring a good axle to replace it.
The kitchen manager was secretly proud, but pretended to be impatient, and then threatened that if Tianheifang door could not be sent in before locking, he would not want all of them. He scared the transport workers so much that they hurriedly left...
"A group of idiots..." Seeing that the hired workers were gone, the kitchen manager smiled and carried his hands behind his back. Before the overturned vehicle, "I forgot to count... Haha, everyone came, moved away...
No matter how small the legs of a mosquito is, it is not as flesh, not to mention that it is almost half a truck of vegetables, fruits and melons. Even if it is really broken, and the nobles are disdainful to eat it, will it be that the servants will still be able to pick them?
The servants in the kitchen also understood that the benefits came, so they came forward with a smile and moved them.
Fang Zheng's vehicle overturned and the other party did not count it. Didn't he say that he had lost a lot of damage and drifts?
Just as I was transporting, I found that something was wrong with the baskets containing vegetables!
These baskets are particularly heavy!
One of them couldn't bear it and slammed on the ground with a loud bang. The basket overturned, and the layer of vegetables on it fell outside, and some foreign objects were exposed!
In the dark sky, under the torches, there was a little golden and jade color!
The servants were stunned.
Even if it is contaminated with the mud and dust of vegetables, it is still hard to hide the pearls!
Even if he was careless, he noticed something was wrong at this moment. The kitchen manager looked pale and quickly saw someone watching the scene. Then he crawled and went to find the manager of his superiors, and then hurriedly reported to the inner yard.
Soon, the inner court manager came out. He just raised the torch and looked closer. His face changed drastically and his voice trembled. "Come here! Come on, go and notify the head of the family!"
"The manager! The gate is closed! I can't get out!"
"Go and ask the mistress to sign and write a note! You must notify the head of the family! Don't go to the village door! Go over the wall!"
While Gu's family was in chaos, Gu Yong was working overtime in the official party.
Working overtime is not an unacceptable bad thing for these people. After all, these people are paid very high, far beyond ordinary people. What's more, they don't work overtime often. They can not only show their diligence and increase their reputation, why not do it?
But today is a bit abnormal, Gu Yong felt that there were many things, and they were all relatively trivial things...
Until Gu Yong met the servant who was coming in a hurry.
Gu Yong subconsciously stood up, and before he could walk out, he stopped, then sat down again, and whispered: "No need to look at it, those gold and silver vessels must be something that is outrageous... and those weapons, armor, crossbows... This is a death sentence!"
The Gu servant shivered.
It is serious to say that the vessel is serious or not. In fact, it is not serious. Just like if a corrupt official does not reveal his or her face, he can hide for a while. If it is exposed, it will naturally be trouble.
As for the weapons, armor and crossbows, let alone.
『Come!』 Gu Yong said in a deep voice, 『Grandpa, I want to see my lord!』
A follower outside the hall responded and then left.
"The head of the family..." The confidant servant of Gu, who came to report the message, asked, "How should those gold, silver, utensils, weapons, armor and crossbows be dealt with?"
Gu Yong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need to deal with it... I guess someone has already taken action now..."
『Take it?!』
Gu Yong sneered, "Walking away from the water, capturing the thief, there are always some means..."
After a while, the entourage who had gone to ask for a meeting came back and said, "You reported to the head of the family, it was too late to say that it was too late. If you have any questions, I will discuss it tomorrow."
"Hmph." Gu Yong stood up, then tidied up his clothes, and then came out loudly and headed towards Sun Quan's mansion.
When they arrived at the Sun Quan government office, Sun guards stepped forward to stop them.
Gu Yong didn't say anything nonsense, and shouted loudly at the door of the mansion: "I have military information!"
"Military Information?" Sun's guard was stunned and then looked at Gu Yong with a somewhat suspicious look. "Mr. Gu, lying about military information is a serious crime!"
Gu Yong sneered, "Why isn't the serious crime? Is it considered a serious crime when I hear the military situation?"
"…" The Sun guard was silent for a moment, "Waiting!" After saying that, he left Gu Yong, turned around and reported.
After all, not everyone can resist the word "military information".
After a while, the Sun guard came out again and nodded to Gu Yong, "Lord, please invite me!"
Gu Yong stepped forward, walked around the screen wall, walked through the corridor, and before reaching the main hall, "I, pay homage to the lord!"
Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong with a blank expression, and was silent for a moment, "Come in and sit."
After Gu Yong sat down, Sun Quan asked: "What military information is there?"
Sun Quan planned to get angry immediately if Gu Yong said some excuses, or apologized, and lie about military affairs. He first took Gu Yong to the prison and suffered for two days, but he did not expect Gu Yong to say calmly: "Report to the lord, there is indeed a military affairs!"
"Oh?" Sun Quan moved his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Say."
"There are spies in Jiangbei in Wu County!" Gu Yong said firmly, as if he had really received relevant information.
"Jiangbei spy?" Sun Quan felt like Nan Bangzi later heard the news about Beibangzi, and suddenly felt uncomfortable all over his body. "Be serious?"
Gu Yong nodded and said, "It's true."
"…" Sun Quan pondered for a moment, and was about to say something, but he saw a hurried guard coming from the hall.
"You are hereby reported to the lord and asked for a visit to the school affairs."
Sun Quan's eyes immediately turned, glanced at Gu Yong, and suddenly understood, but now it was too late to regret, so he could only say a little dull: "Summon!"
After saying that, Sun Quan no longer rushed to ask Gu Yong what military information it was. He just closed his eyes and wrapped his hands on his chest, like a statue, and the wind did not move.
The sound of footsteps came, and Ji Yan went to the hall to celebrate with him.
The scene became a little awkward for a moment.
Ji Yan didn't expect that he was already quick-witted, and then he found that Gu Yong was faster than him!
"What's the matter?" Sun Quan asked without opening his eyes, closing his eyes.
『My…』 Ji Yan gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, 『I heard that there were thieves who wanted to disrupt Wujun, so I chased him in the yard, and there was no trace in Jiadefang…』
Ji Yan couldn't help but glance at Gu Yong, but saw Gu Yong still stroking his beard on one side, as if Ji Yan's words had nothing to do with him.
Ji Yan lowered her head, "Then she inspected multiple parties... She found traces of thieves outside Gu Enjun's mansion. She wanted to search in it, but the Gu family's servant refused to obey..."
『Ha…』 Gu Yong smiled and said, 『I guess the school affairs had been in my house, and they had searched for many illegal and usurping things?』
Ji Yan raised her head and stared at Gu Yong, "Envoy Gu...knows this?"
It's impossible. They are all staring at the yard gate. They haven't seen anyone come out. Moreover, he and Xu Biao almost acted immediately and did not delay at all. How could Gu Yong know?
Sun Quan took a breath, "Tell me what the situation is, Yuan Tan, you tell me first."
In fact, at this moment, Sun Quan was still a little biased towards Ji Yan. After all, with Gu Yong's talent, if Ji Yan first talked about the specific situation, it would be impossible for Gu Yong to have a countermeasure before he finished speaking. So Sun Quan simply asked Gu Yong to say it first.
"Report to the lord..." Gu Yong said calmly, "What I said before is like this. There are spies from Jiangbei who were defeated by Qing Xu and were very resentful. They sent people to sneak into Jiangdong and want to mess with him... They never thought that they would frame me with this shallow method. It was ridiculous. Wouldn't they bully the lord like a child, who did not understand the military strategy, and did not understand the strategy of the plan?"
"Since it is an object that is a violation of the ban, it must be hidden in a hidden place and not easily visible outside," Gu Yong said, "Now, once the school affairs enter the family and the house, they are directly searched for it... It can be seen that the object is not the one who belongs to the minister, but is the act of the spy in Jiangbei..."
"Hmph." Sun Quan did not comment, "Just school affairs, you said."
Ji Yan's eyes were rotating, "How can I conclude that it was done by the spy in Jiangbei?"
"Oh? How can I determine that it was not the work of the spy in Jiangbei?" Gu Yong almost said the same words, smiling.
『Investigate!』 Ji Yan gritted her teeth and said, 『If it is a spy, she will investigate thoroughly! How can these spies enter Jiangdong and Wu County again?! How do they guard against the surrounding checkpoints and officials along the way? Lord! Please make the difference in this matter, and make a difference in praise and criticism!
『In addition…』 Ji Yan glanced at Gu Yong, 『Since he found the traces of thieves in Gu’s mansion… To avoid suspicion, haha, I am not saying that Gu Jun must be guilty, but just to avoid suspicion, please don’t interfere with the verification matter…』
"You!" Gu Yong frowned.
Sun Quan looked at Ji Yan with a little relief and slapped him on the table, "Good! That's it! Don't obey the order!"
"I'm here!"
"Immediately check the officials from all over the Yangtze River and make comments on the differences. If you communicate with others outside and plot against others inside, you will deal with them heavily and never give up easily!"
