The crocodile men holding Wu hooks shuttled back and forth, and the entire construction site became extremely chilly. The ignorant slave workers shivered and lay on the ground without daring to move.
On the business road, the caravans coming and going also did not dare to move, because the brave man riding a pony and holding a spear had come over to check his identity. The brave man was accompanied by various auxiliary soldiers with righteous backgrounds.
The origins of Huaishang Yicong are very complex. Businessmen with various accents can find corresponding fellow villagers. It is very difficult to rely on this kind of deception to get through.
Even if a few wealthy businessmen have figured out the face of Yi Cong for a period of time, Huaizhong City will actually change people every ten days, from Huai Shang Yi Cong to a new Yi Cong, and the content and method of questioning will also change.
Great change.
This allowed many of the secret agents to be targeted from the first day they entered Huaizhong City. What they did secretly and who they came into contact with were all under the control of Huaizhong City.
…
"Name."
"I am in Deng State..."
"Name."
"..."
The unkind-looking Yongfu held a pen and paper in his hand and stared at the businessman who still wanted to slap him.
The usual methods used in the past are useless here. In fact, if a businessman wants to bribe a brave man, he must at least offer gold and silver. Ordinary goods cannot impress a brave man at all.
After all, Yongfu comes from his hometown, and maybe he followed his boss Li Jie into pearl farming.
The handicrafts, tableware, etc. that are usually handed out are either glass products or ceramic products. Businessmen these days, no matter how wealthy they are, cannot offer more exquisite treasures as bribes.
Unless some brave man loses his mind and opens the door to outsiders for a little copper coin or silk cloth.
The best commodity to bribe a brave man is actually a woman, but at this time, Jiangyin City, which is in a period of rapid development, is in no shortage of women.
After a large number of Baisha Yongfu entered the scene, the atmosphere on the commercial road and on the construction site became more solemn. Because from time to time, people were picked out, stuffed with linen and dragged away.
Some people were taken away without hesitation, while others resisted on the spot. How could a guy with a sharp weapon be his opponent?
The sharp weapon in Baisha Yongfu's hand is obviously longer and harder.
"Be honest as fuck!"
Shapi, wearing armor, shuttled back and forth in the open field. He rode a black-maned horse. The horse was not big, but very strong. Its well-developed muscles were visible to the naked eye. The load-bearing Shapi was strong and sharp, and it was actually stable.
Steady.
"Everyone thinks they are smart? Huh?!"
Shapi, holding a horse and fork, pointed at the construction site and the business road, "You idiots, you were spotted by us when you entered Yingshui and Rushui. You are so smart, it's ridiculous!"
At this time, Shapi began to speak more and more like Li Jie. It didn't matter whether the slave workers or merchants understood him or not, he was just yelling quickly.
Among the ranks of wealthy merchants, there are naturally disciples who specialize in learning foreign languages. The weird words used in Jiangyin City are nothing, and the grammar is simple. The more they interact with each other, the more they will naturally learn it.
After listening to the explanation from the retainer, many merchants in the caravan on the trade road had cold sweat on their foreheads.
If what Shapi said is true, then Huaizhong City is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
As more and more people are picked out from the caravan, many merchants are under unprecedented pressure. Even a thorn in their backs is not enough to describe their current situation.
"You dare to kill the people you want to protect in Huaizhong City. You really don't know whether to live or die!"
Shapi rode on horseback and yelled for a while, and finally said, "Just take care of yourself!"
Ma Xia pointed at the panicked caravan on the trade road, which immediately made the wealthy merchants feel tense, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
Obviously, today's matter is mainly about the assassination of Young Master Jia of Yan Kingdom. As for spying on information, it seems that Huaizhong City doesn't mind.
I can't say that I don't mind. It's probably a small gesture of this level that won't arouse anger.
But publicly arranging assassinations against officials in Huaizhong City was obviously a red line.
It is okay to assassinate Young Master Jia of Yan Kingdom; it is not okay to assassinate Yan Jia, the leader of the construction site in Huaizhong City.
In addition to those businessmen, Ji Jia himself was also shocked.
Under the escort of plainclothes crocodiles, Ji Jia returned to Huaizhong City in an excited mood.
After entering the high-walled compound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Gongsun even saluted Shapi: "Today, if the captain is not in charge of the overall situation, I am afraid that my young master..."
"Ai!"
Raising his hand, he interrupted what Mr. Gongsun was about to say. Shapi looked at him and Master Jia, "Yan Jia is an official of Huaizhong City. Chief Li has entrusted the safety of Huaizhong City to me. This is just his duty."
After saying that, Shapi took out another scroll. After opening it, it was full of names. Pointing to the names arranged according to surnames, Shapi looked at Mr. Gongsun: "Do you know any of these people?"
"Ji Du Qi's family?"
After seeing some weird surnames, Mr. Gongsun first recognized a few names, "Qi Biao, also known as 'Po Hu Biao', his ancestors had a fiefdom in Liaodong County, and they married Shanrong."
"Could it be the same name?"
"It's still unknown."
Mr. Gongsun saw another name, "Qi Ju Tu, this person makes a living by boiling salt in Rushuikou, and is a salt merchant."
It is said that they are salt merchants, but that is just a title. In fact, all salt merchants in the Yan Kingdom are, without exception, giant bandits.
When Mr. Gongsun said this, Shapi, who already knew the customs of Yan country, understood.
"The Qi family of Jidu is not a member of the family, but a descendant of the Qi people. Hundreds of years ago, they made a career out of killing dragons."
After a brief explanation, Shapi had a more complete understanding of the assassins' heel and legs.
The so-called "killing dragons as a profession" usually means killing crocodiles or pythons. Before Qi State became rich, there were many professional families who worked for the king of Qi State.
Most of the family businesses that developed subsequently included butchering, tanning, and tool making.
For the Qi family in Qi State, "Qi" is in the shape of a dragon, a snake, and a crocodile, which represents what the people they work for look like, and the pronunciation is consistent with the "Qi" of Qi State, which represents their origin.
"Write down your conclusions and sign them."
"Now?"
"Now!"
Shapi's expression was solemn, "This is Shou Li's order!"
"yes!"
Mr. Gongsun, who was clasping his fists and bowing, immediately made no excuses. Even though his young master was still in shock, he had to quickly sort out the materials.
There is no doubt that Li Jie may want to take action against some people in the Yan Kingdom. Nowadays, there are many rumors spreading in Huaizhong City. For example, the guards of the Gusu Palace who were guarding the young master may have gone to the Yidu of the Yan Kingdom.
And the one who supported them was Li Jie.
My son may still be a little ignorant, but Mr. Gongsun knows very well that the consequences of irritating Li Jie will not be good. If someone in Yan State is smart enough to offend Li Jie, he is afraid that the subsequent retaliation will be from morning to night.
However, before sorting out the materials, Mr. Gongsun made a decision and solemnly said to Shapi: "I'm going to Xinzheng to deliver a letter. I wonder if I can take me with me?"
"Oh? Why?"
"Now that things have happened, I guess that the general has found out about the Beihai clan and already knows the reputation of the Beihai Tiger Jiao. However, people at that time thought that the Beihai Tiger Jiao wanted to support Ji Zishen, but they didn't know that Ji Zishen was beyond the power of the Beihai Tiger Jiao.
Clamp down. I met the general in person and stated in detail the greatness of Ji Zishen."
Seeing that the old man was very serious, Shapi thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
