Zhang Mingtu was about to send a corresponding investigation letter to Longxing Mansion to inquire about the specific situation of the Jiaofang Division, when he received information from Longxing Mansion.
"Han Qiong's family members were attacked when they were transported to Longxing Mansion, and many people disappeared..."
Zhang Mingtu was not surprised to see Han Qiong's wife's name - Kawashima Yoshiko among the characters in the poem.
"Sure enough, they don't even try to hide it."
Zhang Mingtu let out a breath, confirming another piece of information.
"But where will she hide after she escapes?"
The situation in the Land of the Rising Sun is quite complicated. After being mixed with humans and demons, if it still maintains its human form, it will be difficult to tell whether it is a human or a demon from its appearance.
It is easy to be caught walking around Daxia as a demon, but it is difficult to find an anonymous woman.
"I still need more information..."
Zhang Mingtu continued to check various materials in Jinyiwei's archives.
Although Jinyiwei has become more and more outrageous over the years, some basic functions are still retained. Collecting household registration information from various places is only a commonly used one. This most basic function is not paralyzed at least, and various household registration information still exists.
Regarding the daily life of County Magistrate Han Qiong, there was also a corresponding operational investigation. Although it was quite perfunctory, Zhang Mingtu was still able to roughly delineate some areas.
"His son is already more than ten years old. I think the spies from the Land of the Rising Sun came here almost twenty years ago, and they even had a happy relationship with Han Qiong and gave birth to offspring..."
The more he investigated, the more frightened Zhang Mingtu became.
The other party is very deliberate. They are really calculating to the core. They started making careful plans many years ago.
However, for so many years, Daxia has not been too defensive about the Land of the Rising Sun. It has mainly fought against the invincible enemies in the world and has been peaceful for too long.
The arrogance in Daxia people's hearts cannot be concealed, and they would never regard a person who is groveling every day, has a very good attitude, has civilized etiquette, and is even better than you in Daxia official words as an outsider.
Even after many years of friendship, intermarriage with characters from the Land of the Rising Sun is common.
Some people even took the name of Bactria and had little connection with the Land of the Rising Sun.
"It's a little hard to find. I have been here for more than 20 years, so I must be very familiar with the customs and customs here. It's really hard to find a place to hide."
…
The complex underground river is like a maze. Ever since Jin Yiwei and Liumen visited this place before, this underground river has regained its former darkness and tranquility.
But today, this calmness was broken once again.
In the underground river, there were low and complex conversations coming out.
What he speaks is not the official language of the Land of the Rising Sun, but a special language formed by combining the unique human language of the Land of the Rising Sun with the language of demons.
"Has everything here been destroyed?"
"It has basically been completely destroyed. All the demons we raised have been captured. The county magistrate is also in the Jinyiwei prison."
"Damn it, the plan was so perfect, why was it suddenly exposed?"
"It's all due to that damn Jinyiwei Zongqi. No one could have imagined that he, a figure who is not valued by others, could actually investigate related matters so clearly..."
"Xue Cheng!"
In the dark cave, two erratic female voices gnashed their teeth and cursed in low voices for a long time.
They have been preparing for this matter for more than ten years and have conducted various investigations.
The largest local gang, the Grain Ship Gang, has been controlled by them. It is easy to pass on various messages. At the official level, the Jianyi County Magistrate is helping. At the same time, the major families in Jianyi also have relevant figures who are responsible for inquiring about the situation.
In this state, they can hear any movement, and as long as there is any sound of wind, they can easily escape without being affected by the complex terrain of underground rivers.
As a result, I never expected that Jin Yiwei and Liumen Men would take advantage of him.
"Wang, where are the characters from the Li family?"
"None of them are core figures. Although they were arrested, they should be released soon."
"Where's the county magistrate?"
"He has no chance at all. Based on my understanding of the building, if he is treated like this, even if he is innocent, he will be imprisoned until death. There will be absolutely no chance of turning over."
"Damn, damn it!"
The two women who were not arrested knew the situation in Daxia very well, even better than Han Qiong.
They are responsible for investigating Daxia's humanistic customs and official situations on a daily basis. They are more familiar with Daxia's customs and official procedures for handling matters than most people in Daxia, and are even more familiar than Han Qiong who works in the officialdom.
Therefore, after observing such a grand and grand action, they became more and more angry and helpless.
"We have absolutely no choice. Both the Wang and Li families are in ruins. All the hard work we have done for more than ten years has been in vain. We are ashamed of the empire and the emperor."
Both of their voices were full of guilt, but they were very calm during the conversation, even though a large number of their colleagues were dead, and one of them even had a son who was still in prison and was likely to be executed.
, but they don't care at all.
They were more concerned with when and where they could fulfill their emperor's orders.
"When things get to this point, we should all commit suicide by caesarean section."
In the darkness, a female voice sounded murderous.
But after a moment, she said again: "But we can't die now. We must report the situation here. A genius like Xue Cheng must let other colleagues know..."
"...We failed here, but we cannot let others fail elsewhere. The reason for our failure must be found this time, and Xue Cheng must be found..."
"Kill him, and then we will be qualified to return to the embrace of the emperor."
…
At the entrance of the underground river, Zhang Mingtu squinted his eyes, used the Dragon and Tiger Waidan to gather the energy, blood and breath all over his body, and moved forward little by little along the river.
After various deductions, he determined that the focus of spies in the Kingdom of the Rising Sun should be on the Wang and Li families and the county magistrate, but now the most powerful forces in these three sword cities have fallen.
On the other side, the Grain Boat Gang, which was closely connected to the Land of the Rising Sun, also collapsed. Under normal circumstances, all their clues would have been cut off, and there was no fixed safe house to hide in, but there was one exception.
The underground river of the Ganjiang River has a complicated and tortuous terrain. Many people find it difficult to remember the map after only a short time. It is an excellent hiding place.
What's more important is that the underground river was swept through not long ago, and normal people would not think of searching inside again.
Zhang Mingtu had been kidnapped by this group of spies from the Land of the Rising Sun before, and he had some knowledge of their behavior and habits.
When he sneaked into a transportation hub in the underground river and heard the faint sound of communication, Zhang Mingtu immediately held his breath.
