The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1439 All roads lead to Chang'an

"If that's the case, go back and prepare first." Xuan Shijing said: "Whether this matter will succeed or not is all up to you, remember to be careful."

Xuan Shijing's last words are both an exhortation and a threat. If Fang Dabao dares to play tricks among them, Xuan Shijing might as well play tricks with him.

As the saying goes, if you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

It was also said earlier that Xuan Shijing transferred his family members from the government's control. Since the government can use his family members to blackmail him, then Xuan Shijing can do the same.

Fang Dabao is a guilty person, if he can help Xuan Shijing wipe out the pirates, he can be punished lightly, and his family will be safe, but if he tries to play tricks, not only will his family suffer, Even Fang Dabao himself couldn't escape.

Don't underestimate Datang's household registration regulations. Unless you hide in the deep mountains and old forests and never come out for a lifetime, you will always be caught.

Just like His Majesty Li Er released the condemned prisoners to go home to visit his relatives, since he did this, he is not afraid of them running away, where can they go?Even if he ran to the ends of the earth, Baiqisi could still be caught.

Although Xuan Shijing can't use Baiqisi, the Xuan family still has the former Jinyiwei, and each prefecture has a clear household registration system. As long as Xuan Shijing puts his heart into checking, Fang Dabao can't escape.

Fang Dabao obeyed Xuan Shijing's words and went to prepare, while Xuan Shijing and Liu Renyuan stayed in the camp to discuss how to arrange the whole set.

Since it was Fang Dabao who reported the news, the ships of the so-called Xuan family could not leave from the Quanzhou navy camp, but had to leave from the coast near those villages and head north.

If the merchant ship used as bait wants to wipe out pirates as much as possible, then the target of this bait must be large and the number of people must be large.Otherwise, how could the pirates dispatch too many people?

At that time, as long as one or two survivors are caught, they will be able to follow the vine, dig out their lair, and copy their lair.

After the pirates' roots at sea were dug up, they would have more time to find any evidence.

Since one road does not work, then take another road, all roads lead to Chang'an.

Going forward and backward, anyway, it's just a matter of time, the pirates on the sea and the officials of Quanzhou City, there is no need to distinguish who comes first.

"Xuan Gong, if that's the case, we still need to call the Yangzhou navy." Liu Renyuan said: "Nowadays, the Quanzhou navy's ship equipment is no longer available, and the navy brought from Yangzhou uses the best warships in Datang today. For the Shanghai pirates, they are stronger than them both in terms of fighting ability and in terms of ship speed. The lower officials are not afraid of other things, but they are afraid that once they encounter them, the pirates will run away before they start fighting. The angry thing is that we can't catch up with them, so the speed of the warship must be there."

Xuan Shijing nodded: "That's right. General Liu has far more experience than me in fighting at sea. Let me think about the trick. General Liu has full command of the war."

"Yes!" Liu Renyuan said, cupping his hands.

The naval division’s preparations were not enough, and Chang Le, who was in Quanzhou City, couldn’t relax. He had to tell the county government all the time. Tighten the people of the county government, if the people of the county government send someone to the government government to see Feng Zhijun, let him keep an eye on it and try to find evidence.

So Xuan Shijing's trick was actually played in two places at the same time, one is Quanzhou City, and the other is the sea.

Although it is not a battle of wits and courage, this matter is stumbling and it is coming to an end.

As long as Fang Dabao came out to communicate with the county government, there would definitely be something different from the normal times, and then Chang Le would seize the opportunity and follow, more or less, there would always be some gains.

As for this side of the sea, the merchant ships of the Xuan family are no different than others. No matter how you bite or where you bite, you can get a piece of fat. Xuan Shijing doesn't believe that Feng Zhijun won't be tempted by such a big profit.

If he wants to climb up, or control the entire Quanzhou, he needs huge financial support, right?Even if he is now in Quanzhou, the Feng family will not put all their energy on him. Feng Zhidai serves on the side of the king in Chang'an and is in charge of military power. Is Feng Zhidai proud?
Following Liu Renyuan's order, the navy troops they brought from Yangzhou began to act, and the insiders in the Quanzhou navy camp were arrested, so there was no need to worry about leaking news.

After Chang Le of Quanzhou City received the news from Xuan Shijing, he ate and drank in a hurry, and then sneaked into the Quanzhou county government office, staring at the back door. Fang Dabao usually entered the county government office through the back door, and met with the people in the county government office. contacted by people.

In the afternoon, Chang Le saw Fang Dabao's figure at the back door, and then secretly followed Fang Dabao's figure moving towards the backyard of the county office.

After Fang Dabao came to the backyard of the county government, he met the county magistrate of Quanzhou.

"My lord, I saw a merchant ship on the coast beyond the village." Fang Dabao said, "The merchant ship with the Xuan character flag."

"The merchant ship with the Xuanzi flag?" The county magistrate said, "Can you see how many people are on the merchant ship and what goods are there?"

"There were quite a few people, all dressed like caravan guards. When the villain saw them, he hid a little far away and couldn't see clearly, so he didn't know what cargo was on board. But when the villain saw a carriage, There were three big boxes on the carriage, and the two carried one box to the boat, looking very strenuous, and the carriage seemed to have arrived on a whim, in a hurry." Fang Dabao said.

Fang Dabao's description tried to make people think that the three boxes were special products Feng Zhijun gave to Xuan Shijing, so that it would be easier to move people's hearts.

"Aside from that, is there anything else?" the county magistrate asked.

"It's gone. After the villain saw it, he hurried over to report to you, my lord." Fang Dabao said to the county magistrate with a flattering expression on his face.

"Okay, I see." The county magistrate said, and took out a small copper coin from his cuff: "This is your reward, take it."

"Yes, sir." Fang Dabao thanked the county magistrate with a nod and bow.

"Go, don't let anyone see you." The county magistrate said to Fang Dabao.

After receiving the money, Fang Dabao left the county government office. So far, Fang Dabao's mission has been completed, but Fang Dabao still has to go back to the Quanzhou navy camp and have an explanation to Xuan Shijing.

Chang Le hid in the dark, watching Fang Dabao leave, and then the county magistrate in the backyard also left the backyard, Chang Le quickly followed.

The county magistrate went directly to the front hall and called his master over, while Chang Le hid under the back window of the front hall, eavesdropping on the conversation between the county magistrate and the master.
