After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 17: Stalking (revised)
Haitang didn't know what charter the group of people had discussed.

Haijiao seems to be very excited and actively goes out every day, leaving early and coming back late.This time Hai Xiya and Xie Wenzai didn't stop him. When Ma complained, they would defend Hai Xiya.However, they didn't trust Hai Jiao to go on an adventure alone, so he was accompanied by someone every day. Sometimes it was his second uncle Hai Chang'an, and sometimes it was Cui Bo's son Cui Dazhuang. They were always young and strong men with some martial arts skills. It can protect the reefs one or two.

Every day Hai Jiao pretends to help his family inquire about the prices of goods from the Western Regions, as if Hai Xiya intends to return to his hometown and plans to sell the goods he brought from Guazhou to make ends meet.He also chatted with people he knew when he was a child from time to time, asking them to help inquire about the market, which made it even more serious.The Guazhou businessman was not suspicious at all. He only regretted that he could not lure the child with the lowest price. He was afraid that someone else would take advantage of the deal, so he joined in every day and continued to coax the child with a slightly higher price.Hai Jiao seemed to be indifferent to him, so he became even less suspicious.

This Guazhou businessman is probably a genuine businessman. He just works part-time as a spy, but his business is still doing well.Unlike the businessman surnamed Sun, espionage is his main business. Although he is called a businessman, he has never done any serious business at all.

The latter originally wanted to discuss things with the former, but he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that he only thought about doing business and making money all day long, but instead gave him the most difficult task.However, this is a task assigned by the third prince. If he does not do it well, my daughter may not have a good life in front of the third prince.The businessman surnamed Sun had no choice but to curse his accomplices fiercely while thinking of ways to carry out the tasks assigned by the third prince. All his grievances against his accomplices were pinned on the hope that he would complain to the third prince after the incident was completed.

So the businessman surnamed Sun began to think of ways to get close to the wells used by the garrison in the city.

Haitang originally didn't know what Hai Jiao was busy with outside every day, but after two days, he came home a little earlier. When he got home, he still had some free time, so she took the opportunity to pester him, avoiding others to ask for information.

Hai Jiao had no intention of hiding anything in front of his little sister.He even told his little sister about such a strange thing as rebirth, let alone anything else?Moreover, he had discussed the matter of catching spies with his little sister.I didn't mention it before, but it was just because it was already very late when he got home every day, and his little sister had been urged to go to bed by his grandmother Ma, so it was not easy for him to go to the main room and talk to his little sister about such topics in front of her grandparents.

Therefore, whenever Haitang came to the east chamber to inquire, he would close the door and tell her the truth.

They had already secured the Guazhou merchant and found out where he came from, the origins of the people in the caravan, who he was close to on weekdays, and who he often interacted with in Suzhou City. deal with.General Gu had already found a few suspicious people among these people. He suspected that they were all secretly placed spies or spies by the Hu people, and he quickly sent people to keep an eye on them.

In addition, they also discovered that there was some discord between the Guazhou businessman and his accomplice, the businessman surnamed Sun. Although the two seemed to be working for the third prince of the Hu people, they were not actually of the same mind.The former seems to be closer to the third prince's wife. He is only responsible for passing the news and has no intention of getting involved in the action. He is also happy to see the latter fail; and the latter, as the father of the third prince's concubine, knows that Suzhou Wei is very careful about the water source. If you want to take action, the possibility of failure is very high, so you dare not take action, hoping that the former can cooperate with the action.The latter looks down on the former, and the former thinks the latter is unwilling to contribute and is afraid of taking risks.The two men each had their own agenda, so the mission progressed slowly.

On the day when the city of Suzhou was broken in a previous life, there was still no trace of the Hu army, making one wonder if they were still waiting for news from the spies.

Hai Jiao looked like he was relieved: "If this continues, as long as the Suzhou guards are tight and no spies can take advantage of it, maybe the Hu army will never appear!"

Haitang was not as optimistic as he was: "Then the third prince is still waiting to make great achievements so that he can compete with the younger prince for the throne? The old king of the Hu people is about to die, how long can the third prince wait? Even if he is in the city The spies have been unable to succeed, and he may not give up the idea of ​​attacking the city."

Hearing this, Hai Jiao suddenly became serious: "My little sister is right this time. If he gives up the idea of ​​attacking Suzhou and instead attacks other cities, it will also be a huge loss for Da Chu. I would rather He continues to attack Suzhou. At least the Suzhou guards have been prepared for it, and they will definitely make it impossible for him to come back!" Another day later, Liu Keren came to bring the latest news.

A suspicious person was caught at the military camp. He seemed to want to do something to the well, but he was caught.The man bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot without confessing anything. However, the reason why he was able to get close to the well was because he had gone through the path of the soldier who was responsible for guarding the well.After the soldier was arrested, he claimed that he was coerced by General Sun Yonglu's confidants to do so, and pointed directly at the businessman named Sun.

Just when General Wednesday, General Gu and others ordered the businessman surnamed Sun to be arrested and brought to justice, the people responsible for tracking discovered that the other party had used his servants to act as stand-ins to hide the truth from others. In fact, he had been following the servants of the Sun family and Sun. The opera troupe invited by the family went to Guancheng together, saying that they were sending opera wine to General Sun Yonglu to celebrate General Sun's birthday.

Liu Keren was very anxious about this.He said to Hai Xiya, Xie Wenzai, Cao and Lu: "Could it be that our people exposed their whereabouts, and the businessman found out that someone was watching him, and took the opportunity to escape? If he really escapes, what will happen next?" Is the barbarian army about to attack the city?" He stomped his feet excitedly, "I don't know which kid exposed his secret when he was watching, and actually made him be on guard, damn it!"

Xie Wenzai quickly comforted him: "Brother Liu, don't worry, the matter may not be so serious. Maybe the businessman surnamed Sun will not think that his identity as a spy has been exposed, but will suspect that the generals are secretly monitoring him. He wants to find an excuse for Sun Yonglu!"

Liu Keren was startled, then calmed down: "You're right. Sun Yonglu keeps an eye on others. If this businessman named Sun comes to him and complains, he will definitely feel that we are using the same method to deal with him. . It just so happens that the businessman used his name to bribe soldiers. If he doesn't know the inside story, he will feel more and more that we are setting up a trap."

Sun Yonglu was in Guancheng, but he left a few confidants and businessmen named Sun in Suzhou City to keep an eye on "Hu spies", and at the same time continued to keep an eye on the generals and officials such as Liu Keren.The person who was tracked to Haijia's door two days ago is the best example.General Wednesday and the others are now focusing on the businessman named Sun, saying that the latter is a spy. In Sun Yonglu's view, it is really possible that General Wednesday is taking revenge on him.

If the generals took the opportunity to fight Sun Yonglu again, they might be able to lure him back from Guancheng, so that he would not continue to be in the way.

Although Jiayuguan Guancheng has a special stage and theater troupes are invited to perform several times every year, they are basically during fixed major festivals.On the birthday of a temporary guard general, this was the first time that a theater troupe was specially invited to celebrate his birthday!

Liu Keren thought in his heart and thought of several reasons that could be used to write a copy of Sun Yonglu.When the identity of the businessman named Sun is revealed, Sun Yonglu will be charged with another crime.He didn't believe that this guy would still be shameless enough to stay at the border!

Liu Keren made up his mind and stood up to leave: "I will go and discuss with General Gu and others, and send people to Guancheng to inquire and see what the spy told Sun Yonglu. If Sun Yonglu loses his head, let the spy At your mercy, I will make it difficult for him to stand up again this time!"

　I always felt that there was something wrong with the rhythm of this article, so I discussed it with the editor and planned to change it from scratch.It will continue to be updated during the revision period, but the updated chapters will probably be revised again later...
