Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 233 A List

Ye Hong called Yao Wenzhong to the mansion, and settled the matter in the name of drinking.

If Jing'an Division is willing to accept, then the problem will be easy to handle.

Since the Special Investigation Department needs newcomers, it also requires principles, a decent style, and talents with a high level of cultivation. Duan Tieniu is such a person.

Do you want it from the Special Investigation Office?
As soon as Wang Miao heard that there was such a good thing, he gave him a second-rank Wu Zongbai, of course he wanted it.

However, the appointment of a school lieutenant must be approved by the governor.

"Duan Tieniu, Yan Fang, do you have any impression of this person?" Zhuo Chunfeng opened his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his long and narrow eyes.

"I have some memories of my humble job. This Duan Tieniu is the chef of the first chef of Zhenwu Academy's restaurant. , although he is the lowest rank of general in our Great Zhou, but he also has the qualifications to be specially recruited into Nanya." Yan Fang said, "However, he has a good relationship with Luo Xiaoqi."

"Oh?" Zhuo Chunfeng was slightly surprised. He never paid attention to these trivial matters, so naturally he didn't know.

He is now busy with the southeast war in the spring of next year, personally deploying elite generals to do intelligence work for the upcoming war.

This battle must be won, this is the order given to him by Emperor Yongxi.

"What do you think?"

"Luo Xiaoqi may influence him, but he doesn't yet have the ability to make him obey orders." Yan Fangdao, "This Duan Tieniu's cooking skills in the restaurant of Zhenwu Academy are also first-class, otherwise he will not become a first-class chef. The head chef of the chef, he is fair and has a good relationship with his subordinates, but the relationship with his superiors is not good, probably because he is not smooth enough and too upright, blocking the interests of many people."

"This kind of person must be there, otherwise, the whole yamen will be filled with smog." Zhuo Chunfeng said, "Who specially recruited him?"

"Master Yao from the Jing'an Division, it is said that Ye Hou greeted him."

"Let Ye Hou come forward to say hello, it seems that this section of Tieniu is impossible to become our person." Zhuo Chunfeng said, "The Special Investigation Office is investigating the internal problems of Nanya, so we need such a person. Since Wang If Miao wants him, then give it to him."

Since the Special Investigation Department is the knife in his hand, the knife must be "right" first. If the knife is not straight, it is easy to accidentally injure himself.

For now, what he needs is a "right" knife, as for the future, that will be a matter of the future.

He's the one holding the knife.

"The humble job has been approved and agreed." Yan Fang bowed his head.

"Song Yi is back?"

"Yes, I have already met him." Yan Fang nodded.

"After so many days, what did he find out?" Zhuo Chunfeng asked.

"Yangzhou Navy, Jiangdu Army, Yangzhou Guard, and militia groups have all been infiltrated by Southern Chu. Many of their generals have secretly defected to Southern Chu. Smuggled the family to Nanchu before the war broke out!"

"Who are these collaborators and traitors?"

"Yangzhou Governor's Office sentenced Yuan Rui, Cang Cao Zhou Yong, Yangzhou left guard Cao Jixiang joined the army, and general Qi Hongtao..." Yan Fang reported a list.

"Song Yi infiltrated Yangzhou to find out these, because these people were basically reused by Southern Chu. Among them, Yuan Rui, the former governor of the Yangzhou Governor's Office, was named Yangzhou Shepherd by Southern Chu, and Cangcao Zhouyong was appointed as the chief historian."

"These collaborators and traitors deserve to die!" Zhuo Chun slapped the table in a grand manner.

"Governor, Song Yi also found out that these collaborators and traitors are all closely related to one person."

"Who?"

"Yangzhou Salt Transport Envoy Shen An." Yan Fang said.

Zhuo Chunfeng remained calm. In fact, he had known for a long time that the defeat of Yangzhou was very unusual, and the Shen family of Cheng Guogong was involved in the case.

As for why the Shen family did this, they have to ask Cheng Guogong Shen Zhuang, maybe there is some ulterior purpose.

"Where's Shen An?"

"Shen An has disappeared, but according to legend, he has already entered Southern Chu. After all, there is another branch of the Shen family in Southern Chu. In the past ten years, they have been in closer contact, and the smuggling business of the Shen family in Yangzhou is basically carried out through the Shen family in Nanchu, and the two sides have made an unknown amount of money."

Zhuo Chunfeng is more aware that in the past ten years, the three southeastern states have been heavily taxed. As a result, the tax has been reduced every year, especially the tax on the salt and iron monopoly has dropped sharply, and the smuggling of salt has reached an extremely crazy level.

Although Southern Chu also produces salt and iron, their technology and output cannot keep up, especially the quality of iron ore is not as good as that of Dazhou, so the cost remains high. Salt and iron flooded the Nanchu market, so Nanchu's smelting and salt-making industries would not be able to develop, forming a dependence on Dazhou.

Once the supply is cut off in the Great Zhou Dynasty, prices in Southern Chu will skyrocket and people's livelihood will decline.

Therefore, in recent years, Dazhou strictly controlled the salt and iron that flowed into Nanchu every year, so as to maintain the low price of salt and iron in Nanchu.

Of course, this also has the consideration of cutting production capacity for Dazhou. After all, I can't use up what I produce, and if I don't sell it for money, I will lose money.

Without entering the industrial technological revolution, the consumption of salt and iron is actually limited.

But this policy led to the proliferation of smuggling, which gave Nanchu the convenience of hoarding salt and iron at low prices.

Nan Chu was not afraid of Da Zhou's neck getting stuck, so he had the confidence to take the initiative to use force with Da Zhou.

Moreover, once Nanchu seized the salt fields in the three southeastern states, there would be no shortage of salt anymore. If he took over the iron mines in Qingzhou and Jizhou, Da Zhou would have broken one of his wings in an instant, so the southeast There is no room for loss in the three states.

Keep the three southeastern states at all costs.

"What is Song Yi doing now?"

"He was tracking down a nobleman named Yumei who came to Luojing from Yangzhou, and he found that this Yumei had a special identity. He was with Liu Ming who was killed by the Phantom of the Puppet Shadow Hall a while ago, and this Liu Ming was actually called Ding Obviously, he is a disciple of the Shen residence." Yan Fang said.

"I know this Ding Xian, who previously worked in Yangzhou, served as the Deputy Envoy of the Yangzhou Regiment. His Royal Highness Princess Liuli is responsible for the investigation of him." Zhuo Chunfeng said, "This case has been closed, and there is no evidence."

"I don't dare to talk about the justice of Princess Liuli's investigation, but this Ding Xian secretly returned to Luojing after Yangzhou City was destroyed, and was changed by Cheng Guogong to hide in Liu Qian's mansion. There must be something ulterior. Now that he is dead, many secrets are unknown." Yan Fangdao, "Ding Xian hid in the Liu Mansion after he returned to Luojing and seldom went out, but he followed a Qing from Yangzhou. The shepherd knows each other and has met several times secretly, isn't this a strange thing."

"Maybe it's love?"

"Anyway, as far as I know, His Highness also found out about this Yumei girl, and she even went to No. 15 Hualiu Lane in disguise. Yumei collected Ding Xian's body, which was also arranged by His Highness, but is there any secret in it, but no one I know." Yan Fang said, "Now that His Highness and General Qingyi are out, the one who knows the secret is..."

"That Luo Xiaoqi?" Zhuo Chunfeng said it directly.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Yan Fang raised his head slightly, and found that Zhuo Chunfeng did not continue to speak. Could it be that the governor didn't care about this case? He personally arranged and investigated it.

The captain of the special investigation department must have Song Yi's position.

"You meet Luo Xiaoqi alone, and ask him to act as the liaison between you and Song Yi. If you have anything to do, convey it through Luo Xiaoqi."

"Does the governor want to test Luo Xiaoqi?" Yan Fang asked in surprise. He knew that Luo Xiaoqi had been to Shen's residence a few days ago, and it seemed to be related to Liu Zhimei's illness. That Mrs. Liu's relationship is also extraordinary, which has to trigger his association.

"Since Ding Xian has no problem, why did His Highness go there afterwards?"

"Yeah, it's a bit strange to be humble."

"You never thought that this is His Royal Highness deliberately collecting Yumei's body for convenience. This is a desperate tactic to gain her trust first. I guess Luo Xiaoqi must still be secretly paying attention to this Yumei and even Song Yi's return. He knows it all."

"Then why didn't he report it?"

"Song Yi is carrying out a secret mission. His whereabouts and identity are kept secret. If it is reported to the public, once the news is leaked and the top-secret mission is destroyed, whoever is responsible will act as if they don't know. This is the best protection for Song Yi." Zhuo Chunfeng explained. .

"How could he think of such and such at such a young age?"

"The one who came from the secret camp is the future of my Nanya. You can't underestimate it just because you are young." Zhuo Chunfeng said, "I asked you to read his resume, but is there any special situation?"

"Back to the governor, according to the rules of the secret camp, every person who comes out of the secret camp must arrange a period of adaptation before entering the Nanya office, some three months, some as long as half a year. After more than ten years of training, Luo Xiaoqi was too out of touch with the outside world. According to the original plan, Luo Xiaoqi arranged for him to go to Shuozhou to study and live with a family named Luo for about half a year, and then returned to Luojing to work as a tofu shop owner. His identity is lurking in Tonggu Lane, and his main task is to observe and monitor Shang Chen, the deputy envoy of the Western Army Mission."

"Who arranged this task?"

"Jing'an Sifengbu Lang Jiang Nanshan Qiao."

"The reason for the mission?"

"Shang Chen is resident in Luojing, and his main purpose is to recruit talents from our Great Zhou Dynasty to serve Xirong and collect information. His whereabouts are particularly important. We need to know what he has met with those people, what he has done, and what he has said, so that we can analyze and judge His purpose is also to provide the court with a basis for decision-making." Yan Fang explained.

"How is the mission accomplished?"

"Mediocre."

"In that position, there really isn't much room for development." Zhuo Chunfeng nodded, "What do you think about his miraculous medical skills?"

"There are rumors that it was taught by a god in a dream, but this is absurd and unbelievable at all. There was also a time when he met a nobleman in Shuozhou, but this matter should be his secret. If he doesn't say it, no one will." I know, anyway, when he was in Luo Jing and the secret camp, his social relationship was very clear, and it was completely impossible to tell who he studied medicine with." Yan Fang said.

"Have you ever asked Manager Meng about this matter?"

"No, Director Meng has a very close relationship with His Majesty, no less than Chief Jiang of Zhenwu Academy. If it wasn't for what happened back then, Chief Meng might be..." Yan Fang quickly stopped talking.

"I'm afraid he is the best candidate to succeed Ye Hou?" Zhuo Chunfeng chuckled, "Director Meng is lazy, even if His Majesty trusts him, he will not hand over Nanya to him. Old Yan, there is no need between you and me." How good it is to be so cautious and talk like before."

"Yes, the humble job is too shallow."

"Get in touch with this Luo Xiaoqi, even if you don't use it for me, don't become our enemy for the time being." Zhuo Chunfeng ordered.

"Where is Suhou?"

"We are working for His Majesty, not Marquis Su, Lao Yan, don't be too cautious, don't be afraid." Zhuo Chunfeng said.
