"You mean, those people didn't go to the market to buy jade pendants, and they didn't have the three-legged golden toad I gave away?"
An old man over fifty years old with some gray hair listened questioningly to the news brought by his subordinates.
"you sure?"
"It's absolutely true, until they finished lunch, they didn't see the jade pendant of the three-legged golden toad on them!"
The person below quickly answered,
"And they behaved as usual, and they didn't even have any communication with anyone in the county government!"
That's not right. Logically speaking, after receiving a letter, you shouldn't give any reaction at all.
"Something bad happened!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the old man suddenly felt something bad.
"Someone must be causing trouble!"
"No, someone should have impersonated them, and then our people handed over the jade pendant by mistake!"
The letter sent by Zhang Qixin did not identify anyone, but the old man had someone add the source of the letter, and he also sent a jade pendant.
"Damn it!"
The old man slammed the table. He was angry not because someone failed to complete the task, but because there was a spy at the lower limit of their development, and others found out what happened.
"Old Ye Yi, looking at this matter, it's possible that it's not our spies who have a problem, but County Magistrate Zhang and his people who have a problem!"
Just yesterday, their spies saw with their own eyes that the waiter in the shop delivered the letter to the two people's rooms.
If coincidence is ruled out, then someone must have had a problem on the way to deliver the letter!
As for Zhu Gaotian and the others, they saw the letter and did not come, but were met by another man in black?
How could there be such a coincidence in the world? And he was able to speak the words in his heart smoothly. Someone must have peeked at the letter and tampered with it.
"Has anyone noticed us?"
"right!"
The old man calmed down his mood. Yesterday, the two bosses died in Wangchun Tower, which made him feel very good. However, what happened today made him feel very unhappy.
Because this old man is the prefect who was framed and driven out of power by Boss Jia and Boss Nie a few years ago!
Although he is in the second line now, the power in his hands is still the same as before, and is even a bit stronger!
Because the prefect who took his place was like a puppet on strings, firmly in his hands.
"Where is Wang Yuanzheng now?"
The Wang Yuanzheng mentioned by the old man is the current prefect and Zhang Qixin’s immediate boss!
"Prefect Wang is still in the casino, and he is probably losing almost all his pants!"
Thinking of this, even the housekeeper standing aside couldn't help but curl his lips. This gambling prefect was brought to power by the dead Boss Jia and Boss Nie who spent a lot of money to support him.
What they never imagined until their death was that all the resources they had devoted would become someone else's wedding dress.
Originally, Boss Nie and Boss Jia thought Wang Yuanzheng was good at gambling. As long as he became a confidant and was easy to control and could become their side, he would be a powerful helper in the future.
But no one thought that the previous magistrate, now the old man, was secretly planning to cast the Yongle Tongbao.
Originally, he didn't want to take this desperate path, but he had no choice as he was forced to a dead end.
First, he opened a casino with the assets in his name, and then secretly minted Yongle Tongbao.
But who would have expected that the current prefect would accidentally enter the old man's casino and lose everything.
As a result, the old man secretly sent someone to establish a good relationship with Wang Yuanzheng, secretly bribed him with the money he won from him, and guided the two wealthy businessmen who supported him behind the scenes to discover a way to cast Yongle Tongbao.
And he also secretly asked people to sell several coin furnaces at low prices.
These two people, who are keen on money, naturally couldn't put it down when they saw the coin furnace that could continuously produce Yongle Tongbao.
However, others were not stupid enough to directly start creating money in large quantities, let alone minting it around Wang Yuanzheng.
It took them nine years and two tigers to get this prefect, although it was impossible for him to take risks.
As a result, they found Zhang Qixin, who they thought had an unappreciated talent, and they hit it off immediately and formulated a plan to mint counterfeit coins.
Zhang Qixin is not simply conceited, he also has two skills.
After his improvements, the casting cost of the newly minted Yongle Tongbao was not only reduced by more than half, but the degree of simulation was even more like the real thing!
This made the two wealthy businessmen feel as if they had found a treasure, but Zhang Qixin was not an easy man, so naturally he was not willing to be controlled by Boss Nie and Boss Jia.
After the old man fanned the flames, Boss Nie and Boss Jia were killed in Wangchun Tower.
Zhang Qixin thought that after he got rid of the two wealthy businessmen, no one around him would know about this matter, but this old man saw this matter clearly behind his back.
And this opportunity to kill Boss Nie and Boss Jia was provided by this old man. How could there be no leverage for Zhang Qixin in his hands?
It's just that Zhang Qixin was kept in the dark about this matter. He didn't know that this old man who was kicked out of the stage still had so much energy in his hands.
After defeating Boss Jia and Boss Nie, the current prefect Wang Yuanzheng naturally became a pawn in the hands of the old man.
Originally, what happened in Zhongxian County Government yesterday made the old man think that this was an opportunity. Whether the other party was testing or sincerely cooperating, Zhang Qixin could give it a try.
If he fails, he just loses a dispensable chess piece, but if he succeeds, what awaits him is unimaginable glory and wealth.
"Oh, forget it, forget it!"
The old man seemed a little tired and slowly sat on the chair.
"Maybe I was too reckless this time. I sent people there rashly before I really figured out the purpose of those two people's visit. I was too impatient!"
Let's wait for some time and wait until we have a thorough understanding of the opponent's confidence before we talk.
But now it is time to rectify the spies that appear in the mansion and the county government!
I want to see who has the courage to disturb Tai Sui!
However, a sudden news disrupted all the old man's plans.
"Sir, master, a secret security officer just came from Chengdu, saying that Mr. Si Liu, the commander of the Sichuan Protectorate, is secretly heading west with his people, and their destination seems to be Pingshou County!"
"The whereabouts of the other two adults are unknown!"
