Nanyuan County Town Xiesi Baihu Office, back hall.
Fu Gang, the original 100 households, had already sent everyone out. After handing over the token symbolizing the identity of the 100 households in Nanyuan County to Gu An, he was ready to explain the situation here to Gu An.
"I also know the reason why Gu Baihu came to take over. Now I will tell you about the current situation.
The first person to discover the collusion between Wu Mansion and Yan Tuo Sect was our Banghai County under Nanyuan County..."
A quarter of an hour later.
Gu An roughly understood the situation.
It was probably from the Zhenxiesi General Banner Office in Banghai County that traces of the Yantuo Sect were discovered in the city.
During the secret pursuit, the Yantuo sect learned the news from nowhere.
He actually retreated early.
Seeing that the people of the Yantuo Sect had withdrawn, the Zhenxie Division gave up the pursuit.
But two days later, someone was found preaching again.
The people from the Zhenxie Division pursued him again, but failed again.
After doing this three times.
The general banner of the Zhenxie Division of Banghai County directly led the troops to the Yantuo Sect's stronghold in Banghai County.
Be prepared to have a good talk with them.
As a result, everyone here seemed to have learned the news in advance and evacuated immediately.
The commander-in-chief of Banghai County had no choice but to take his people back to the city. When they returned to the city, they discovered that people from the Yantuo Sect had entered the city for unknown reasons.
After another chase, two congregants were captured, but the others escaped.
After severe interrogation, the two congregants did not confess how they got in.
But salt was found under their shoes.
As a major salt-producing county in Nanyuan County, Banghai County is jointly controlled by Zhenxiesi and Wufu.
The general banner himself knows about the situation of the Zhenxie Division, so this can only come from the Wu Mansion.
So the general manager calmly reported the matter.
Fu Gang reported it to Yu Shao, and he didn't know until he got a reply from Yu Shao.
It turns out that there are traces of Yantuo sect activities not only here, but also in many counties and counties under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou.
And they can always know the suppression operations of the Zhenxie Division in advance.
In response to this matter, Yu Shao first took the initiative to find Xue Ke, hoping that the Wu Mansion could act together with the Suppression of Evil Division.
Yu Shao thought Xue Ke was going to refuse, but he didn't expect him to readily agree.
But the results came quickly and nothing was found.
You know that the Yantuo Sect's stronghold is there, but every time you go there, spies are lying on the ground and the stronghold is empty.
Yu Shao collected news from various places and analyzed it with Zhang Shi and several other close associates.
After years of interactions with Xue Ke, he discovered that something was wrong with Xue Ke.
But there was no evidence, so I reported it to the General Office of the Suppression and Evil Division...
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong."
Fu Gang and Gu An looked at each other: "Who?"
"Sir, it's me."
A mellow voice sounded.
Fu Gang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gu An: "One of our own, come in."
"Squeak."
The door opened, and a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes wearing a robe of the general's flag walked into the room.
Close the door.
Fu Gang smiled and introduced Gu An: "He is Shen Dong, the general bannerman of our Hundred Household Office No. 1. After I leave, he will assist you.
This is the new Baihu, Gu An."
Shen Dong cupped his hands and said, "My subordinate Shen Dong has met Gu Baihu."
Gu An nodded: "Get up, although I am from a hundred households, I am still young and may not understand many things well.
I will have to rely more on Mr. Shen Qi from now on."
Shen Dong made a fist with his right hand and hammered his chest: "Don't worry, Gu Baihu, my subordinates will do their best to assist you in your investigation."
Hearing the word "investigation", Gu An smiled and said nothing.
Fu Gang smiled and said: "Okay, I will leave Nanyuan County early tomorrow morning, and I still have some things to pack.
Go clean it up first.
Shen Dong, please talk to Gu Baihu about the rest."
After Shen Dong responded, Gu An stood up and sent Fu Gang out of the room, and the two sat back down.
"Sir, this is what my subordinates have recently collected. You can take a look at the information about Sun Pangde, the head of Wufu Palace in Nanyuan County. It will also facilitate your follow-up arrangements."
Shen Dong took out a blue booklet from his arms and handed it to Gu An.
Fu Gang is not here now, so Shen Dong also directly changed his title.
Gu An took it and looked at it, and couldn't help being stunned.
In this book, everyone's whereabouts and habits are recorded, from Sun Pang's parents to Sun Pang's sons and closer relatives.
However, because Sun Pang is the head of Wu Mansion and is quite vigilant, there is very little information about him.
Looking through it, Gu An suddenly found a message written on it and asked.
"What is written here is about their whereabouts, so there is no problem."
"Don't worry, sir. The information above was collected by the Reconnaissance Office in two months and was compiled into a booklet a few days ago."
"How many copies of this book have been printed in total?"
"Because it was sorted out just a few days ago, and it needs to be kept confidential, this is the only one."
Gu An nodded: "Is it okay to leave this book here now?"
"No problem." Shen Dong said.
Gu An was originally here to take over Baihu and take over this matter, so there was no problem in leaving it to Gu An.
Gu An took out the Qiankun bag and put it in it.
In fact, Gu An had memorized all the above information just now. If he didn't want to keep a sample, he would have burned it directly.
Thinking of the message he just saw, Gu An quickly made a decision and stood up.
"That's it for now."
Shen Dong also stood up and said with a smile: "If you have anything you want to know or where you want to go, you can directly ask your subordinates.
Our county is built along the sea, and you can still see the sea from the high-rise buildings where hundreds of households live."
Shen Dong felt that since Gu An came from Youzhou and was so young, he must have never seen the sea.
Coupled with my youthful nature, I might just want to go to the beach.
Although it is for work, it is good to adjust it occasionally.
Gu An raised his head and thought for a while: "I really have something to ask you."
"My lord, feel free to ask. I have lived in Nanyuan City for thirty-five years and I am familiar with every plant and tree here."
Shen Dong patted his chest and said.
But what he said next made Shen Dong stunned.
Gu An opened the door and looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
After closing the door, he walked to Shen Dong's side and whispered, "Where is Mingyuanfang?"
Mingyuanfang, brothel?
Shen Dong was stunned for a moment, remembering Gu An's actions just now, he looked at Gu An, saw Gu An's slightly stern eyes, and said quickly.
"Oh, Mingyuanfang, Mingyuanfang is in Dongcheng District. After leaving Baihusuo, walk east for one mile, then turn left. After walking through three intersections, you will see the tallest building."
After a pause, Shen Dong asked tentatively: "Sir, do you need your subordinates to accompany you? It's your first time here, so I can host you."
"That's not necessary. I can be alone. But if someone asks me where I have been, you just say you don't know. Do you understand?"
Gu An put his right hand on Shen Dong's shoulder with a fierce look on his face.
"Don't worry, sir. I didn't hear anything or see anything. I don't know where you are, sir!"
