Jinghong Tower

Chapter 343 Searching
The secret order issued by Liu Shanhe was intercepted by Jinghong Tower on its way to the north.

Jinghong Tower did not stop him. He released the secret order and quickly notified the capital.

Liu Shanhe was second only to He Ran in the list of most powerful people in the world.

His every move will be watched by thousands of people.

The content of the secret order was sent by Li Jinxiu and Lu Chang.

He Ran was a little surprised to see her grandfather and grandson coming together hand in hand. Since Lu Chang officially took over Jinghong Tower, Li Jinxiu had let go. Unless He Ran came to see her, she would not interfere with the affairs of Jinghong Tower.

Why are you here with Lu Chang today?
Lu Chang sent the secret order in his hand to He Ran. He Ran was startled after seeing it. He looked at Li Jinxiu and then at Lu Chang: "Is this why you invited your grandmother to come with you?"

As the chief shopkeeper of Jinghong Tower in the capital, Lu Chang wanted to collect and sort out the information sent from various places before sending it to He Ran. Therefore, when she saw the secret order, she was as stunned as He Ran.

She even thought that this secret order was not issued by Liu Shanhe himself, but that it might have been issued by his subordinates after trying to figure out Liu Shanhe's thoughts.

They are both secret orders, and the importance is completely different between Liu Shanhe's personal orders and those of his subordinates.

Therefore, before Lu Chang came to see He Ran, he first went to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and picked up his grandmother.

Jinghong Tower has a discipline of confidentiality, so until now, Li Jinxiu, the former head shopkeeper, still didn't know why his precious granddaughter wanted her to come with him.

He Ran handed the information to Li Jinxiu and asked with a smile: "It seems that the person he is looking for is He Pan, but when Xiaokui adopted He Pan, He Pan was still a baby, even if Liu Shanhe had seen her at that time, But she is just a newborn baby. How can Liu Shanhe be sure that more than ten years later, this child will look exactly like him? Could it be that all his children followed him and not their mother? "

Li Jinxiu let out a laugh and glanced at Lu Chang: "Yes, Xiao Chang'er is mistaken. I really don't know about the children of the Liu family. However, in my life, I have never seen anyone who can be sure of being born. The children only follow themselves, not their mothers.”

Even though He Ran originally doubted He Pan's life experience, and even though He Pan looked exactly like Liu Shanhe, He Ran didn't think much about it. Since he was an abandoned child, he might be the romantic debt of a libertine from the Liu family.

But now that He Ran saw this secret order, he became interested.

She said to Lu Chang: "Go and check. The woman who escaped from the Liu family eighteen years ago may not be as simple as running away from a concubine."

Liu Shanhe was the new emperor's most powerful arm, and He Ran was interested in everything about him.

Not long after, information was sent to the capital from various Jinghong Towers in the north. The information all had the same content. Someone was looking for a woman, and a portrait of the woman was even attached.

Li Jinxiu was drinking tea. When she saw the portrait, she puffed out and the tea in her mouth almost sprayed onto the portrait.

"Where did you find the painter? Isn't it too easy? You just changed Liu Shanhe's face, put on a bun, painted earrings, and then brought it out to find someone?"

He Ran also smiled: "He Pan is much more beautiful than the person in this portrait."

Liu Shanhe is a talented person who attaches great importance to appearance. Even though he is old, he is still a handsome man.

He Pan's facial features were as bright and pretty as Liu Shanhe's, otherwise the Tang family would not have chosen her among the maids.

Although Liu Shanhe and He Pan have similarities, they each have their own beauty, unlike the person in this portrait, who looks like a man disguised as a woman.

He Ran smiled and shook her head: "It's difficult to find someone based on this portrait."

Li Jinxiu said: "Xiao Chang'er's skill is still not enough. It's been several days and she hasn't found out. It seems I have to take action myself."

He Ran, don't be in a hurry, let them check it out.

He Pan knew nothing about this.

Before He Pan came to Beijing, He Ran wanted her to stay in Jinghong Tower in the capital.

This has always been the rule of Jinghong Tower.

The tasks are divided into five levels. For each nail, after completing the task of level two or above, no other tasks will be arranged for at least half a year.

He Pan transforms into Bitao and goes undercover in the palace, which is a first-level mission.

Therefore, in the next six months, she will stay in Jinghong Tower to rest and wait for new tasks according to the rules.

But she is so similar to Liu Shanhe.

Liu Shanhe once served as an official in the capital. Even though the capital has been moved now, there are still many people in the capital who have seen Liu Shanhe. If He Pan's face is left in Jinghong Tower, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble for her. .

Therefore, it was a fluke that she was not discovered while undercover in the palace for nearly a year.

He Pan was taken home by Li Jinxiu. His grandchildren were not in the house anyway, and even Lu Chang lived in Jinghong Building most of the time. Li Jinxiu liked He Pan quite a lot, so he asked He Pan to keep him company.

He Pan was confused. She knew the rules. Shouldn't she go to Jinghong Tower at this time?

Ten days later, He Xiulong, who was training troops in Sanhe, suddenly heard something.

Someone was in the women's barracks asking who came from He Xiaokui in Shunde Prefecture.

Among He Xiulong's generals, there were indeed two girls adopted by Xiaokui.

This is not a secret, so He Xiulong did not pay attention at first.

Of these two female generals, one is twenty-three years old, and the other, named He Xiang, is eighteen years old this year.

He Xiang had a handkerchief with Li Lang, the wife of a general in the army. Li Lang also served in the army. The two were married to Jin Lan. He Xiang even regarded the couple as his sister and brother-in-law. When everyone was joking together, He Xiang once said that she would let her sister and brother-in-law make the final decision for her.

During this period, He Xiulong's army went to Sanhe for training. Li Lang did not live in the military camp because he was pregnant, but rented alone in the county town.

Unexpectedly, just three days ago, a matchmaker came to propose marriage to He Xiang.

The man was from Sanhe. He took the official examination two years ago, and now he is working in Yudi. His family has been arranging marriage arrangements for him. When he learned that a female general from the Ran Army was temporarily staying in Sanhe, he came to propose marriage.

Although Li Lang was careless, he had been on the battlefield and experienced big scenes after all.

The matchmaker's words were very exciting. Later, the matchmaker tried to trick her into telling her what her birth date was, and Li Lang became suspicious.

As soon as the matchmaker left, Li Lang went to find out that the man was indeed a real person, and his family was indeed planning a marriage for him. Moreover, the man had written a letter to his family, saying that he wanted to find a female official, so that the couple could work together in the future. Take care of, share connections.

Unfortunately, it was so difficult to find female officials. The parents had already prepared to write a letter asking their son to ask colleagues for help. However, the matchmaker suddenly came to the door and told the story that Li Lang was raising a baby in Sanhe. She also told the man's mother that Li Lang was raising a baby in Sanhe. Although Lang is married, she has a god-sister who is not yet married, and she is also a high-class female official. The man's mother was overjoyed when she heard this. Although she did not want to marry a female general as her daughter-in-law, after learning what the female general's surname was, she still recognized that this was a good match and entrusted a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

Therefore, the matchmaker is real, the man is real, and the marriage proposal is also real.

But Li Lang still found it strange. How could anyone ask for birth date and birth date when proposing marriage for the first time? Could it be that he wants to use his birth date to do bad things?

Li Lang came to the military camp with a pregnant belly and reported the incident to He Xiulong.

He Xiulong combined the two things and immediately felt that something was wrong.

That night, He Xiulong sent someone to catch the matchmaker without anyone noticing.

The sword flashed, and the matchmaker was frightened to death. She admitted on the spot that someone had given her ten taels of silver to come to propose marriage. As long as she got He Xiang's birth date, the other party would give her another ten taels of silver.

The man was masked, and the matchmaker did not see the man's face.

At first, He Xiulong, like Li Lang, suspected that someone was trying to use the birth date to cause harm, but then she remembered that someone had asked about the orphan adopted by Xiaokui a while ago, and she felt that this matter might be related to He Xiang's life experience.

He thought, eighteen years ago, he was abandoned in the alley where Xiaokui lived.

He Xiulong called He Xiang over and asked: "Xiao Xiang, I know you are an orphan. Grandma Xiaokui should have told you about what happened when she adopted you, such as when you were a baby and so on."

He Xiang already knew about the matchmaker. The girl was confused. She wanted to find a master to find out if she was having a bad time. Otherwise, how could such a thing happen to her.

"When I left Shunde, Grandma Kui told me that it was still summer when I was picked up. Let alone a baby, I didn't even have a strip of cloth on my body. I was naked and had several big mosquito bites."

"Then did your family look for you later?" He Xiulong asked.

"Looking for me? It's too shameful for them! They threw me away, and they still have the nerve to look for me? Damn!"

As soon as the words came out, He Xiang suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not her little sister, but General Xiulong!
He Xiang quickly sat down and said: "Report to the general, they haven't come to see me."

He Xiulong checked for a few more days, and although he found a few suspicious characters, he asked the matchmaker to identify them, and none of them looked like the masked man that night.

He Xiang felt strange herself, so she bought some fruit to visit Li Lang.

"Sister, why do you think that bad guy is targeting me? Do you really want to use my birth date to do bad things? But it's so strange. In General, what happened when I was adopted by Grandma Kui when I was a child? I don't Be careful, just say I was naked when I was picked up, oh, how embarrassing.”

Li Lang smiled: "You should change your habit of speaking openly. This is General Xiulong. If one day you talk like this in front of the boss, it will be troublesome."

He Xiang stuck out his tongue: "When I go to see the boss, I must have someone write down what I want to say to the boss in advance. I know it by heart. It would be great if Panpan were here. My homework when I was a child is all She helped me write it, and I don’t know where Panpan went.”

Li Lang: "Who is Panpan?"

He Xiang: "They are the little sisters who lived at Grandma Kui's place. We were adopted by Grandma Kui around the same time. My name is Xiang Xiang, her name is Pan Pan. In our group, there are also Nian Nian and others. But they belong to Pan Pan Hope was the most promising, but she was picked out when she was eleven years old. Since then, I have never seen her again. "

At the end of the sentence, He Xiang pouted, not knowing what happened to the little sisters back then.

There are no clues in this matter, and it is about to go unsolved. He Xiulong is very busy and has no time to pay attention to this matter.

He Xiang had a straightforward personality and told the matter himself.

Worried that others don't understand the importance of this matter, why would you want to add: "Those bad people are deliberately trying to mess with me. They want the bad Taoist priests to use my birthday and horoscope to cause harm and make me injured in the battle. Do you think this person is bad?" "

Therefore, the incident quickly spread throughout the military camp.

At this moment, a female soldier came to He Xiang and said with some embarrassment: "Sir He, I really didn't know that I couldn't tell others my birth date before. I really didn't mean it."

He Xiang stared: "Have you told others my birth date?"

The female soldier knelt on the ground with a thud: "It's just your birthday. I, I told you your birthday."

He Xiang was an abandoned baby, and her birthday was actually the day Xiaokui adopted her.

Xiaokui said that that day was the birth of these children, so the children in her place, as long as they did not know their birthdays, all regarded the day when they picked her up as their birthdays.

He thought that was the case.

This year she was promoted, and her birthday happened to be coming again. When she was happy, she invited many people to celebrate with her.

The female soldier was not included in the invitation, but she knew what to expect.

"It's my fellow countryman. He asked me about you, Sir He. I, I, in order to appear close to you, I just said, I went to your birthday too. I really didn't mean it!"

A knife was placed across her neck, and He Xiang shouted angrily: "Who is that fellow countryman of yours? Tell me!"

The fellow's name was Lu Sanxiang, and he was a flagman in the male barracks. That day, he suddenly found a female soldier. When the female soldier learned that he was an officer, she was afraid of being looked down upon by him, so she said that although she was still an ordinary soldier, she She was highly regarded by her superiors, who even took her to attend He Xiang's birthday party.

In fact, her superiors may not even remember her name.

He Xiang found Lu Sanxiang. When Lu Sanxiang saw He Xiang, he turned around and ran away. He Xiang caught him and twisted him in front of He Xiulong.

Lu Sanxiang summoned him and was given twenty taels of silver to ask him to find out He Xiang's birthday and birth date. He was also told that he would be given another twenty taels after the matter was completed.

He Xiulong was very happy: "That's right. Your reward is double that of the matchmaker. Didn't Ran Jun pay you? Just for this little money, you deliberately betrayed your colleagues?"

He Xiulong had an air of coercion about him, and Lu Sanxiang was too frightened to raise his head. Suddenly, he thought of something, as if he wanted to grasp the last straw: "Report to the general, I will report Wang Hong and Zhang Xianlin of the third battalion. They , they are the same as me, and by the way, I also reported that the person who asked me to inquire about the information sounded very much like Yu Tao from the Fifth Battalion. "

This time, He Xiulong arrested a bunch of people.

Not only Lu Sanxiang and the three people he reported, but also other people confessed by these three people.

A total of eleven people were arrested.

At night, He Xiulong tossed and turned. She couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and slapped He Ran on the crime.

A spy was discovered in her army, and this spy had already instigated ten people to rebel.
