In the darkness of the night, Su Ziji was sitting in the tent, holding his face on one hand, and flipping through his travel notes while he had people clearing away the remains of the banquet.
But in fact, I didn't really look into it, but I was waiting for someone.
"Master Su, my father-in-law is here."
With this sound, Su Ziji knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
"I'm waiting for my father-in-law to come over." Inspector Zhao saw Su Ziji standing in front of him after opening the curtain and looking at him with a smile.
As expected, Su Ziji not only did not look sick, but was also very calm.
"Our family knows that you must have your own plans. Tell me, do you need our help?" Supervisor Zhao entered the tent without saying anything, followed by two people. The little eunuch stood at the tent.
Looking outside through the gap, checking for movement.
Before Su Ziji spoke, he glanced at this man subconsciously. Seeing Inspector Zhao's expression, he knew that although this man was a military attache, he was someone whom Inspector Zhao could trust.
In this case, the person who Supervisor Zhao can trust is naturally the person Su Ziji can trust.
Because the goals are the same, there will be no conflicts of interest for the time being.
Time was tight, and Inspector Zhao must have been unable to stay in a tent for a long time in the name of inspection. Su Ziji got straight to the point and said: "My people have discovered an intelligence. There are horse teams here in the southwest doing business with the villagers in private, and even in our
After arriving, I still sent a batch of goods into the mountain."
"If these arrogant and greedy people are not eliminated, they will hinder the war. I would like to borrow some manpower from you, father-in-law, and we will take action tonight to eradicate these cavalry teams."
Inspector Zhao's heart trembled. The information Su Ziji said should not be underestimated.
In the war, merchants are now delivering goods into the mountains for the sake of huge profits. At critical moments, they may even become the party leading the way.
The cavalry that can enter the mountains not only know the conditions in the mountains, because they live outside the mountains and do business with others, but they also know the southwest!
The enemy chiefs were forced to panic, and they offered heavy profits and coercion and inducement to these merchants who had cooperated with them for a long time. They may not dare to stab the Southwest Army.
Because of the affairs in the southwest, the emperor had a few more gray hairs, and he was looking forward to ending the war here as soon as possible. As a member of the royal family, Inspector Zhao naturally hated people like this who only care about profit.
Not to mention that he originally planned to help Su Ziji, even if he didn't have the identity level, Supervisor Zhao would not let these cavalry teams go unchecked. Once he got the news, he would also eradicate them immediately.
"Okay! I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry, Mr. Su. If you succeed, our family will definitely report your contribution to the emperor!" Inspector Zhao said, first taking out a token, but of course it was not "I am here in person"
, but "Commander of the Imperial City".
Seeing that Su Ziji was a little confused, he said: "This is the establishment of the imperial army. There are five hundred people in one capital and one command. If you act with this token, you will naturally avoid a lot of trouble."
Then he pointed at the military attache who followed him in and remained silent.
"This is Sun Dehu and Sun Baihu. They are pro-military Baihu who came out with our family. They are one of our own. You can trust them completely."
"Before our family came, we knew that if you stayed, you would take action, so we brought him with us."
"I asked him to cooperate with you and listen to your instructions. He will definitely help you!"
The status of the Imperial City Si Baihu of Dazheng was higher than that of the ordinary army. Because they were considered to be the emperor's personal soldiers, they were naturally more noble.
According to the Dazheng military system, corps commanders and senior officers do not count as official status, while captains and deputy corps officers do count as official status, but they do not rank.
The next higher level is Baihu, Zhengjiupin. If you transfer to another place, you will often be inspected.
But the pro-army Baihu is more noble. When coming to the southwest this time, Supervisor Zhao is the chief eunuch. He should not only bring the manpower of the internal supervisors. This kind of pro-army, the commander will probably follow one. Hundreds of households are afraid of how many people will come.
But to be able to leave one hundred households and troops for myself in such an emergency situation is a sign of great trust.
Su Ziji was naturally satisfied and immediately thanked Supervisor Zhao.
Supervisor Zhao waved his hand and said: "If you are able to do things for public and private purposes, of course our family will trust you and do your work. Don't worry about the involvement. As long as you can make meritorious deeds, everything will be no problem."
After saying that, Inspector Zhao left in a hurry and continued his inspection.
The army rose up very quickly. Not long after Supervisor Zhao left, a short while later, with the sound of the trumpet, the originally heavily guarded camp gradually became quiet, and the guard was relaxed.
Only the two hundred people left behind stayed in this empty camp.
"I am the Chief of the Imperial City. I only brought ten cavalry with me this time, but I have already passed the official document and recruited a hundred soldiers from nearby counties. They are all selected by me and can fight. I am here to serve my father-in-law.
Orders, Master, you can give orders at any time." Baihu introduced himself seriously.
"Who?!" Su Ziji was about to explain what happened to Sun Baihu when someone outside the tent suddenly shouted.
Soon, a man was pushed in staggeringly, followed by two armored soldiers pointing swords at him.
"Sir, this man is very sneaky, he is probably a craftsman!" said one of the armored soldiers.
The wild Taoist who was caught and brought in smiled bitterly, cupped his hands towards the military attache who was looking at him coldly, and explained: "I am not a craftsman, I am Mr. Su's man."
Then he said to Su Ziji: "Master Su, you ordered me to investigate the whereabouts of several cavalry teams. I just got the information and will report it immediately... Can you let them put away their knives first?"
The tip of the knife was poking into his back, and the wild Taoist didn't want his opponent's hand to tremble, so he had to do it himself.
"Master Su, is this your person?" Sun Baihu looked at Su Ziji.
Su Ziji nodded: "He is indeed my person."
"Everyone go down first." Sun Baihu waved his hand, and the two armored soldiers retreated.
"You said, do you have information about those cavalry teams?" Thinking of what Su Ziji said to Inspector Zhao before, Sun Baihu immediately understood that he was afraid that the previous information was sent by this person.
What a master at gathering information.
The most important function of the Imperial City Department is, of course, to control the entrance and exit of the palace, the guards, and the opening and closing of the palace gates. But secondly, it is to spy on intelligence, especially to monitor the army.
Naturally, he attaches great importance to intelligence. He has just arrived and has encountered such an important situation. He is a good expert in detecting intelligence, so Sun Baihu naturally has a desire to cherish his talent.
However, the wild Taoist was quite young, and he belonged to the mysterious Mr. Su. Although he was a little itchy, Sun Baihu still suppressed it.
The wild Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the newly obtained information from his arms and handed it to Su Ziji for viewing.
After Su Ziji read it, he handed it to Sun Baihu.
Sun Baihu was naturally literate. When he saw it, he became angry at first: "There are actually six cavalry teams colluding with the enemy chiefs to smuggle? They even dare to sell weapons. How audacious!"
Those who only sell food, furs or daily necessities are equally guilty, but depending on the circumstances, they may avoid death or not be implicated. But selling weapons to enemy chiefs is really far beyond the scope of forgivability. Such people must die!
Murderous aura suddenly appeared on the faces of all the households.
