"The Marquis of Zhongxing is not someone you can meet just because you want to see him. Who are you?" Gu Baichuan asked.
Yu Haijing raised her head, looked at Gu Baichuan and said, "I have an old relationship with Marquis Zhongxing, and I have important military information to report."
Gu Baichuan looked at him suspiciously, a little unconvinced. Because he had been guarding Zhong Jinwei for a long time and had never seen or heard of this person.
Wang Peng, who was standing next to Gu Baichuan, frowned, observed Yu Haijing for a while, and suddenly said: "Have you ever been a beggar in the capital and been given money by the Marquis of Zhongxing?"
"Exactly, exactly, that beggar is me. I really have an urgent military situation to report to Marquis Zhongxing." When Yu Haijing heard that the Dongchang officer recognized her, she quickly admitted and emphasized again.
When Gu Baichuan heard this, his mind suddenly lit up and he asked Yu Haijing: "Did you do the throwing of stones to report the news?"
"Exactly, I was the one who reported the news to Marquis Zhongxing." Yu Haijing nodded.
"Then tell me, how many times have there been stone-throwing reports, and what are their contents?" Gu Baichuan wanted to confirm.
"The first time is a matter of careful work, and the second time is the military situation of the Jianlu who stayed behind." Yu Haijing replied without hesitation.
Gu Baichuan saw that what he said was accurate, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will take you to see the Marquis of Zhongxing, and I will untie you after the Marquis confirms it."
Yu Haijing nodded and said quickly: "No problem."
Therefore, the Dongchang squadron took over Yu Haijing from the soldiers and escorted him back to Zhong Jinwei's place at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Ming troops were everywhere in the mountains and plains, and no enemy was found.
Zhong Jinwei has sat back on his horse again, with Yan Yingyuan at his side and protected by his entourage. He is very safe.
He saw Gu Baichuan escorting someone over, and there was not much hostility between them, so he was a little curious about who was being escorted over.
Yu Haijing naturally recognized Zhong Jinwei and walked up to him. Without Gu Baichuan's explanation, he knelt down in front of Zhong Jinwei, straightened his upper body, raised his head and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Yu Haijing, the sinner, pays homage to Marquis Zhongxing. The sinner has an urgent military report."
.”
Zhong Jinwei did not know this person, but he found that this person seemed to know him, and said that the criminals had an urgent military intelligence report. He could not understand what was going on.
So, he looked at Gu Baichuan and asked him, "What's going on?"
Gu Baichuan cupped his fists at Zhong Jinwei and replied: "Master Hou, according to this person, he is the one who threw stones at the Hou Master's house to report the news."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was a little surprised. He looked at Yu Haijing and said, "Whose name do you have? Are you really the one who reported the news?"
"The sinner's surname is Yu and his name is Haijing. It is indeed the sinner who reported to the Marquis twice." Yu Haijing knew that Zhong Jinwei was confirming his identity, so she answered again.
Zhong Jinwei was stunned when he heard this, why his name was only one character different from Uncle Yu's, but judging from their ages, it was obvious that they couldn't be brothers.
"Master Hou, he was not wrong about the contents of the two reports." Gu Baichuan also explained at the same time.
There is a question that has been hidden in Zhong Jinwei's mind for a long time. Now that he has found the real owner, he can't help but ask: "Then why did you report the message in different ways twice? One time by drawing, the second time by spelling."
, to be so mysterious, could it be that you are an agent?"
Yu Haijing didn't know what an agent was, but he understood Zhong Jinwei's doubts and replied: "Back to Lord Marquis, the guilty people were illiterate, so I used pictures to report the letter for the first time. I couldn't draw the content for the second time.
, I found a few people to write those words separately to form the content of the letter."
So it turned out that Zhong Jinwei finally revealed the doubts in his heart, but he still had questions and continued to ask: "What do you do, and how do you know so many Jianlu secrets?"
"The guilty people deserve to die. The guilty people were ordered to open the city gates of Zunhua and Yongping as the internal agents of Jianlu, so they gained the trust of the slave chiefs." When Yu Haijing said this, there was not much fear on her face, but more gain.
It's regret.
"What!" There were screams all around, and then many people pulled out their knives.
Zhong Jinwei didn't expect that the man in front of him turned out to be Han Jian, but he was not as excited as the people beside him. He waved his hand and asked them to take their swords back, and then asked: "Whose order are you following?"
"Sin Min is a businessman's top thug. The Marquis may not have heard of it. His surname is Fan and his given name is Yongdou..."
When Yu Haijing said this, she was directly interrupted by Zhong Jinwei's exclamation: "What, Fan Yongdou? Is it Fan Yongdou who often sells military supplies, food, wages and other materials to Jianlu, and also provides intelligence?"
Yu Haijing looked at Zhong Jinwei in surprise. These things about Fan Yongdou should be very confidential. How could Zhongxing Hou know about it?
Zhong Jinwei knew that he had guessed right by looking at Yu Haijing's expression. In fact, it was not Yu Haijing's answer that allowed his subordinates to work for Jianlu, and it was a man named Fan Yongdou. It was impossible for him to have a second one by coincidence.
After traveling to the Ming Dynasty, he was busy with things. If Yu Haijing hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten the Eight Great Merchants. However, Zhong Jinwei really didn't remember that much. He only remembered the Eight Great Imperial Merchants granted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The leader was Fan Yongdou, and the others didn't know the situation.
He asked Yu Haijing: "Is there anyone else who is doing the same thing as Fan Yongdou, who is capitalizing on the enemy and betraying the country?"
Yu Haijing nodded mechanically, wondering what else Zhongxing Hou knew that he shouldn't know.
Now that Zhong Jinwei thought about it, it was impossible for these big men to continue to be at large and traitorous to the enemy. However, he still put this matter aside for now and will talk about it later.
Now the identity of Yu Haijing has been confirmed, and the reason why Yu Haijing was able to obtain Jianlu's confidential information is also known.
Just when Zhong Jinwei was about to ask Yu Haijing about any urgent military situation, Yan Yingyuan spoke up: "Why did you suddenly realize your conscience, go to Zhongxinghou, and keep reporting to Zhongxinghou?"
He has always been worried about his brother-in-law's safety, and the origin of this person is too weird, so he has to find out more about it before he can make the next decision.
Yu Haijing didn't recognize Yan Yingyuan, so when she saw him asking questions, she looked at Zhong Jinwei.
When Zhong Jinwei heard what his brother-in-law said, he felt that it was indeed a question and he wanted to ask clearly, so he said to Haijing: "Answer the truth."
"Yes, Lord Marquis. The guilty people's family was in Zunhua, and when the city was destroyed, all their relatives were killed by the rebels, so they felt remorseful. Then in Yongping, the guilty people saw the two righteous men, and heard about their integrity that they would rather die than surrender.
What happened to Liu Aita is an inspiration to the guilty people, and I hope that I can do something for the Ming Dynasty and atone for the sinful people themselves."
"Tell me more details." Yan Yingyuan demanded from the side.
So Yu Haijing told everything that happened in detail, especially the murder of relatives in Zunhua, the humiliation of Duduo, Yongping Yimin's accusation of Jianlu with his life, and Liu Wuning's refusal to betray Liu Xingzuo.
detailed.
After Yu Haijing said this, everyone suddenly realized his transformation, but Yan Yingyuan asked him: "Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will punish you for collaborating with the enemy and treason?"
Yu Haijing's face was calm and she said to Zhong Jinwei: "The sinners often dream that their relatives are extremely disappointed with the sinners. The sinners are well aware of the seriousness of their sins, so they follow Liu Aita's example, repent and atone for their sins."
"Why did you find Marquis Zhongxing? You haven't answered yet." Yan Yingyuan was obviously very attentive and would not stop until he asked all the questions clearly.
"Zhongxinghou's reputation for benevolence and virtue is so great that he offends the people like thunder."
Although Yu Haijing's answer was relatively cryptic, Yan Yingyuan still understood. Yu Haijing's atonement was one aspect, and not wanting to die was also another aspect.
Reporting to Zhong Jinwei and showing kindness to Zhong Jinwei will allow Zhong Jinwei, who has a reputation for being kind-hearted, to forgive him first. Then with Zhong Jinwei as a guarantee, the court will naturally be unable to pursue him, and he may even be able to do it like Liu Aita.
Get an official position.
It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and his identity was exposed before he could get Zhong Jinwei's forgiveness first.
"What happened on the mountain just now?" Zhong Jinwei asked.
Yu Haijing then told everything from escorting Bai Yulian to discovering the Ming army and finally ambushing Zhong Jinwei and being destroyed by him.
In this way, he was actually Zhong Jinwei's savior again. Zhong Jinwei asked someone to untie Yu Haijing's rope, and then asked him: "You said there was an emergency military intelligence report, what kind of emergency military intelligence was it?"
After being asked by Zhong Jinwei, Yu Haijing came to her senses. Remembering the urgent military situation she had mentioned, she quickly said: "Please tell me, Lord Marquis, all the captives in the pass have gathered in Yongping, and they are preparing to escape outside the pass."
"What, where are they going to escape from?" When Zhong Jinwei heard this, it was another unexpected news. He did not remember the historical Battle of Zunyong clearly, he only knew that Sun Chengzong led the army to win.
Now that he heard that Jianlu was about to escape, the goal of annihilating Jianlu in the pass could not be achieved, so he quickly asked Yu Haijing for details.
"Jianlu plans to exit the pass through Lengkou in the north of Qian'an. This pass is the closest to Yongping, otherwise it would be too far to go around the Santunying line." Yu Haijing replied.
