King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 84 We Can't Bet

"Don't worry, wait for new news, and then decide not too late!"

Chen Yuntai is a small banner officer, and he is in charge of nine school lieutenants. He can rely on these people to do his work, so he must appease his subordinates.

So he went on to say: "Since we have set such a long line, we have to catch a big fish to make our brothers go to the next level. Don't panic at this time!"

"The bigger the case, the bigger the credit, the more rewards, maybe some of you will be promoted!"

Leaders all have common skills, the first one is painting cakes, and Chen Yuntai is already proficient in it.

"By the way, Zongqi Liu just ordered us to dig up a few Japanese cases, and three cases will be found within ten days. You should think of a way to do this!"

That's right, Chen Yuntai reported one more, in order to put pressure on his subordinates.

"My lord, ten days... I'm afraid it's too late!" The captain hesitated.

Sitting on the chair, Chen Yuntai picked up the teacup, and said slowly: "Ying Tian Mansion is so big, with so many teachings and streams, are you afraid that Japanese thieves won't be found?"

"This... this subordinate understands!"

After some explanations, the captain immediately went to arrange things, and Chen Yuntai sat back on the chair.

As a small banner officer, Chen Yuntai had more than nine school lieutenants under his command, because each school lieutenant also had a few "servants" with him, who were idlers in the market.

Even though the number of manpower available to him has exceeded No. 30, Chen Yuntai still feels that there are not enough people, and everything is due to backward communication methods.

The news is transmitted entirely by manpower, and the fastest means of transportation is only horses, and sometimes even legs.

Flipping through the "information" stacked on the table, Chen Yuntai quickly entered the working state.

As a small flag officer, he doesn't need to go out and run. His main task is to analyze the intelligence he has found and extract useful clues to report.

This kind of work is actually very boring, and the time is passing quickly at this moment.

About half an hour later, there were hurried footsteps outside the duty room, and a school captain pushed the door open and entered.

"My lord, there is a situation..."

"What's the situation?" Chen Yuntai put down his pen and asked.

"My lord, those people who went out from Liujiazhuang joined another group of people in Dahuai Town. The latter seems to have brought some guys with them!"

"What? With guys? How many of them are there now?"

The captain replied: "Dahuai Town should be the place they agreed upon. There are more than 30 people gathered in a small mountain depression!"

The core believers of the White Lotus Sect gathered more than 30 people, and they also brought weapons...

What are they going to do?Chen Yuntai couldn't figure it out.

"Is there any military rations escorted recently? Transit Yingtian?"

"Dozens of ships were sent a few days ago, but there seems to be none today!"

Nodding his head, Chen Yuntai said slowly: "Yesterday, the lieutenant of Yingtian Mansion reported that a new batch of military rations would arrive in three days, and three hundred soldiers were sent to escort them by guarding thousands of households. These rebels would not be staring at them three days later. Bar?"

The captain calmly analyzed: "My lord, let alone 30 of these rebels, even if there are [-] people, I'm afraid they can't beat the escort sergeant!"

In fact, in addition to the military guarding the Qianhusuo, when the military rations pass through the counties, they will also send fast young and strong arresters, with more than 300 escorts.

"Then what do they want to do?" Chen Yuntai frowned.

Although there are many Bailian believers, there are not many diehard believers. There are probably only a few hundred people in Jinling.

"Detour for dozens of miles, running from south to north, and then north is the Yangtze River. Even if they want to rob the army, they don't have a boat..." The captain muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Chen Yuntai seemed to grasp the point.

"Subordinates say they don't have a boat..."

"The previous sentence!"

"Further north is the Yangtze River"

"Yes, north, they are heading north!" Chen Yuntai got up from his chair, and had a bold guess in his heart.

"My lord, what about going north?"

Chen Yuntai said in a deep voice: "Today, Lord Thirteen, he took his guards in micro-clothes on a tour!"

The captain reacted quickly, and immediately said: "My lord, what you mean is that these rebels from the White Lotus Sect are targeting the Thirteenth Lord!"

"No wonder they dispatched so many people, no wonder they carried weapons, this..."

The more he talked, the more excited Chen Yuntai became. He saw hope in it, the hope of reaching the sky in one step.

"My lord, this matter should be reported immediately. If something happens to the Thirteenth Master, we will have no good fruit to eat!" The captain's voice trembled.

Zhu Jinghong really has a good or bad thing, the official must die, even the whole family.

I am afraid that the following minions will also end up in exile. The character of the current emperor can really do such a thing.

"That's right, it must be reported immediately, it must be reported immediately!"

After saying that, Chen Yuntai turned around and rushed out of the guard room, and rushed to the depths of the Qianhu Office.

"Yuntai, what's the fuss?" The person who asked the question was Baihu, but it wasn't Chen Yuntai's direct superior.

"My lord, there is an urgent matter in the humble position, please report it to Lord Qianhu!"

"Report to Master Qianhu? You are a small banner official, what important matter is worth such a haste?"

On the small banner is the general banner, then the hundred households, then the deputy thousand households and the thousand households.

Even if he reported to Deputy Qianhu, Chen Yuntai would report through three levels in a row, which is a big taboo in the officialdom.

"My lord, the matter is urgent, I don't care too much about the humble job!"

After saying that, Chen Yuntai continued to rush in, causing all the families behind him to show cold expressions.

"Climb up with all my heart, I simply don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!"

However, no matter what the hundred households said, Chen Yuntai had made up his mind to pass the news to Li Wenzhao himself.

If it is reported normally, the credit will be divided level by level, what else can he have in his turn?
At the moment, in the depths of the Thousand Households Office, Li Wenzhao was discussing matters with Chizhou Taiping Hundred Households in the side hall, strictly ordering the two of them to stay within the jurisdiction to prevent bandits from harassing the food delivery team.

Two hundred households were analyzing the situation when suddenly there was a loud noise from outside, which made Li Wenzhao look outside with a frown.

"What's going on?" Li Wenzhao asked in a deep voice.

After a few breaths, a school lieutenant rushed in and reported: "Lord Qianhu, bring Chen Yuntai, the small flag officer of the Hundred Households Office, to report something important!"

"Chen Yuntai?"

Obviously, Li Wenzhao was not very familiar with this name, because there were hundreds of small banner officials in the Qianhu Office of Jinling, and there were thirty people under the direct control of the Qianhu Office alone.

On weekdays, Li Wenzhao often communicated with hundreds of households, and even the general banner rarely received him, let alone the small banner officials.

"Call him in!"

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Li Wenzhao intends to listen to what the other party has to say, and if he makes exaggerated remarks, he will severely punish him.

After a while, Chen Yuntai walked into the side hall, and then knelt on one knee to salute Li Wenzhao.

"Subordinates see Master Qianhu!"

"Tell me, what's the matter!" Li Wenzhao picked up the teacup.

"Master Qianhu, my subordinates have found out that the White Lotus Sect rebels want to harm the Thirteenth Lord!"

For a moment, Li Wenzhao almost lost his teacup, got up and asked, "How did you know?"

Not to mention Li Wenzhao, the two hundred households on the left and right also widened their eyes at this moment, and the shock was beyond words.

"Before half a month, Chade..."

After recounting the previous situation, Chen Yuntai finally analyzed: "Dozens of Bailian sect diehards went north with their weapons. The humble officer learned that the Thirteenth Master was in disguise today, and he also went north with his guards!"

"To the north of Yingtian, there is no military rations or weapons to escort today. The humble official thinks..."

"Do you think these people are going after Lord Thirteen?" Li Wenzhao said with a livid face.

"Exactly!"

"What do you think?" Li Wenzhao asked the two hundred households.

One of the hundred households tremblingly said: "My lord, whether it is true or not, we cannot afford to gamble!"
