Wang Fuzhi came to Gaosheng Inn in front of the gate of Dongshi City. This is the contact point between the inner guards and the Jin Palace. There are some things that are inconvenient to go to the government office directly, so he comes here to contact.
As soon as Wang Fuzhi walked into the inn, a waiter came up to him with a smile and asked, "Are you here to stay, sir?"
Wang Fuzhi hesitated for a while and said: "I'm looking for the cow!"
This was a code given by Wang Yue, which was very inappropriate, so he spoke reluctantly.
The guy nodded, "Please follow me!"
The waiter did not scold him, which proved that the code was correct. Wang Fuzhi breathed a sigh of relief and followed the waiter to the backyard. The waiter then asked: "Are you looking for Commander Wang?"
Wang Fuzhi nodded, "Yes! Is he there?"
"He is usually in the government office, which is not far from here. I can help you report it. Who are you?"
"You tell him that I am from Baojitang Pharmacy, and he will know. Just say that I have something important to tell him."
The clerk arranged for him to sit down in a room to rest and drink tea, and he hurried to report.
After Wang Fuzhi drank a cup of tea, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Wang Yue walked in with a smile, "Dr. Wang, you've been waiting for a long time!"
Wang Fuzhi stood up and bowed respectfully, "I have something important to report to Commander Wang!"
"No need to be so polite, please sit down!"
The two sat down, and Wang Fuzhi said: "Our proprietor was very anxious when he learned that the imperial court had taken over Lingnan. He wanted to report it to Quanzhou."
"Did he report it?" Wang Yue asked.
Wang Fuzhi shook his head, "He needs to get the detailed information before he can send the pigeon message. He has been racking his brains to get the detailed information these days, but he has no way to start, but today he really thought of a way."
There were no more than fifteen people in the imperial court who had detailed information about the seizure of Lingnan. Wang Yue happened to be one of them, so he was somewhat interested.
"What solution did he come up with?"
"That's it. He went to inquire about the shipbuilding situation of the imperial court. He heard that the imperial court had no sea-going ships, so he guessed that the imperial court had borrowed the Liu family's sea-going ships. He wanted to find out the information from the Liu family. Just now, he sent someone to
Inquiring about the address of the Liu family, I said that one of my patients knew a little bit about the Liu family’s situation, so he came up with an excuse.”
Wang Yue's expression became solemn. He realized that there was a loophole in the court's information control. Newspapers should not be allowed to report the news of the court's seizure of Lingnan. If Yao Guangping knew about it, he would send naval troops to destroy the ships in Guangzhou.
I must report this matter to King Jin immediately.
"I understand. You go back and tell Lin Yaozu that your patient happens to be out on business and won't be back until tomorrow. Then I will send someone to contact you pretending to be your patient."
Wang Fuzhi bowed, said goodbye and left.
Wang Yue lowered his head and thought for a moment, then got up and went to Daming Palace.
...........
Guo Song had just received a relatively detailed report from Kang Bao. This detailed report was actually a letter from Eagle. It was just sent in several paragraphs and then spliced and copied by the staff room.
Lingnan had not yet established an official letter tower with the mainland, so news could not be conveyed through eagle and dove letters. Kang Bao sent people to take the Liu family's ship to take the news to Runzhou, and then sent the news from Runzhou to Chang'an.
But even Jiangnan was still very far away. The imperial court established transfer stations in Xiangyang and Jiangxia to transfer information all the way, and then sent the information from the distant Guangzhou to Chang'an.
Even so, the detailed report Guo Song received was only five or six hundred words long, but it was enough to explain the situation clearly.
In fact, Guo Song was concerned about data, money and food situation, and the situation of warships and seagoing ships.
The number of warships and sea-going ships was beyond his expectation. The only pity was that the ships had not been used for many years and basically needed to be overhauled before they could go to sea. Kangbao had already sent people to the coastal states to hire ship repair craftsmen with generous salaries. Guangzhou
There are not that many craftsmen to support repairing ships.
At this moment, the guard reported at the door, "Your Highness, Commander Wang wants to see you!"
"Let him in!"
After a moment, Wang Yue hurriedly walked in, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I have an important report for my humble duty."
"whats the matter?"
"Your Highness, the people at the Quanzhou Intelligence Point have learned about our recapture of Lingnan from the newspapers, and they are doing everything possible to find out the details."
Guo Song nodded, "Have they heard about it?"
"They had no place to inquire, but they found another way to inquire about the information from the Liu family."
Guo Song walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and asked again: "What are you going to do?"
"The humble position is considering instigating Lin Yaozu to rebel, at least forcing him to suppress the news and not let Quanzhou know about it."
Guo Song said calmly: "It is necessary to instigate rebellion against Lin Yaozu, but I think suppressing this news is a bit unnecessary."
Wang Yue said anxiously: "Your Highness told Beizi that Yao Guangping would send naval troops to destroy the ships in Guangzhou. Once Yao Guangping knew that Guangzhou had changed hands, would he sit back and do nothing? Your Highness, Beizi felt that the newspaper really should not publish the news that Lingnan was captured by the imperial court this time.
."
Guo Song shook his head, "Even if the newspapers don't publish the news, Yao Guangping will soon know about the change of hands in Lingnan. Kangbao has sent people to Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to recruit ship repair craftsmen. This is actually equivalent to telling Yao Guangping and some Chang'an big men.
Businessmen sensed business opportunities and rushed to Mingzhou and Quanzhou to buy seagoing ships, which would also let Yao Guangping know about it, so this matter can't be covered by paper, and I'm not afraid of the news leaking."
Wang Yue fell silent. He realized that his consideration of the problem was still too simple. His Highness had already considered his worries.
After a while, Wang Yue asked: "What should I do next?"
Guo Song glanced at him and said, "It's up to you whether you want to rebel against Lin Yaozu, but you seemed to have told me last time that the time was not yet ripe."
Wang Yue nodded, "His handle is a concubine, which is not enough to deter Lin Yaozu."
"Then don't alert him for the time being. Just let his men monitor you. In addition, you must send people to protect the Liu family and not let them kidnap the Liu family's children to obtain information."
"I understand the humble position!"
Wang Yue bowed and left in a hurry.
Guo Song looked at Kang Bao's report again. In fact, he was also very worried. Kang Bao's recruitment of ship repair craftsmen was tantamount to telling Yao Guangping that there was a problem with the ship. Then would Yao Guangping take advantage of this opportunity to send navy troops to completely destroy Guangzhou's ships?
vessel?
If it were me? I would definitely do this. What about Yao Guangping?
Guo Song didn't know this person very well, but Guo Song knew that there was a huge risk involved. The ships in Guangzhou were too important, and he could never avoid this risk by luck.
Thinking of this, Guo Song said to the leader of the guards: "I will be out for an hour and I don't need anyone to accompany me. If anyone wants to see me, I can ask him to come back in the afternoon or tomorrow."

In the evening, Ying Caihe found the Queen Mother. She played with the little emperor for a while, and then said to the Queen Mother: "I may have to go out for a while, but I will keep an apprentice. If there is anything urgent, the Queen Mother can tell her."
"
The Queen Mother shook her head, "I won't have anything urgent, so I won't bother you, but where are you going?"
"Let's go to the Western Regions! It's a very far away place, and we won't come back until two or three months later."
"Are you going to work for...Prince Jin?" the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask.
Ying Caihe's expression was slightly unnatural, and he shook his head and said: "The last time we rescued the Queen Mother on the Yangtze River was a special situation. His Highness, the King of Jin, usually wouldn't let me do anything. He has the Jinwei Mansion, and the martial arts masters there are no less skilled than me.
, there’s no need to look for me.”
After a pause, she continued: "I just had something go wrong during my martial arts training, and I need to go out to find the answer. It has nothing to do with anyone."
The Queen Mother felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have asked. Some things were just tacitly understood by everyone. Speaking out would only increase the grudge. She smiled and said: "I just asked casually. I just hope you can come back soon. The little one will look forward to it."
Eye-piercing."
Ying Caihe showed a rare tenderness in his eyes and said with a smile: "I'll try to come back as soon as possible!"
That night, Ying Caihe changed into a black warrior uniform, took an apprentice with him, and the two rode horses towards the southeast...
Lin Yaozu soon found out the addresses of Liu's mansion, one was a mansion in the city and the other was a garden house outside the city. He immediately sent people to monitor Liu Shangdong and look for opportunities.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yaozu's men soon discovered that both Liu Shangdong and other Liu family children were being protected. They had no chance to make a move, and they might even expose themselves.
Lin Yaozu had no choice but to continue to wait patiently for the situation to change. Two days later, a person came from outside Baoji Hall, asking for doctor Wang Fuzhi.
The person who came was called Qiao Qilang. He was someone who knew the details of the Liu family. Wang Fuzhi went to look for him the day before yesterday, but he happened not to be at home.
Lin Yaozu quickly asked Wang Fuzhi to take the guests to the back hall, and he himself sat aside.
"Why are you interested in the Liu family?" Qiao Qilang asked with a smile.
Lin Yaozu quickly explained: "We want to buy a batch of medicinal materials overseas and need to find a sea ship."
"The Liu family has a seagoing ship. There is no problem in renting a ship to go to sea. I have a good relationship with Boss Liu's son. Do you want me to talk to Boss Lin and give him a cheap price?"
Lin Yaozu waved his hand quickly, "Thank you Mr. Qiao, I won't trouble Mr. Qiao for the time being, we still have to think about it."
After a pause, Lin Yaozu asked tentatively: "But as far as we know, the Liu family's boats have been lent to the government. Does he still have boats for rent?"
Qiao Qilang smiled and said, "I know about this. The Liu family lent two hundred ships to the army to transport 20,000 troops from the mouth of the river to Runzhou."
"Didn't you say you were going to Guangzhou?"
"No! The Liu family did not send a ship to Guangzhou. Mr. Liu said it himself at the wine table a few days ago. Their fleet only went to Runzhou. It seems that they also have to go to Jiangxia to transport war horses. There is news about Boss Lin.
error!"
Lin Yaozu was a little confused. He asked Wang Fuzhi to send Qiao Qilang away, and then wrote a pigeon letter to the Jiangxia transfer station, asking the people at the transfer station to verify whether there were Liu family ships transporting war horses recently?
Two days later, news came from Jiangxia that the Liu family's two hundred ships had indeed transported tens of thousands of war horses ten days ago.
The true and false news misled Lin Yaozu, and he began to check the map. Did the imperial court enter Lingnan from the land?
He immediately sent a brief message to Yao Guangping that the imperial court had recovered Lingnan and the details were still under investigation.
