"Where are the father and son now?"

"The last time we met, we were in Guangzhou. Then we disappeared." Liu Zheng said, "This Gou Xunli has now changed into a monk's attire, and his name is Walrus. However, since you asked all monks and Taoists to register, he probably does not dare to use this identity. He is active. However, he must still be in Guangdong."

"Are you so sure?"

"When he arrived in the capital, he was of no use at all, so he naturally had to stay in Guangdong. He was deeply involved in the affairs of the Huidao Sect."

"Where's Gou Chengxuan?"

"I don't know the whereabouts of this man." Liu Wei spread his hands, "Mr. Wang resigned from Guangdong and he disappeared. I don't know whether he stayed in Guangdong or went somewhere else."

"Does Monk Walrus have an ultimatum?"

"There is no monk in the Ming Dynasty who has an ultimatum," Liu Zheng said, "it would be strange. But he did burn the scar."

In the early Ming Dynasty, the management of monks and Taoists in temples was extremely strict, and the procedures for becoming a monk were cumbersome.The result of such strict management was that by the middle of the dynasty, monks and Taoists generally did not pay ultimatums.The exact number of monks there is is unclear.

Liu Zheng's information, apart from showing that the Gou family and his son are still alive, actually has no great significance.And according to his description, compared with the "simulation portraits" he saw in the archives in the past, the appearance of the two people has changed significantly.

"Taoist Master, your news is very important. The Senate has indeed wanted to get rid of the Gou family father and son for a long time, but the appearance of these two people is very different from the past." Xu Xu was slightly disappointed. "I'm afraid if he stands in front of me now, I won't recognize them."

"I do have another piece of news that can help you capture Gou Xunli."

"Oh?"

"Although the specific reason why this person was in Guangdong is unclear, the last place he went was Xiangshan County. It seems that he is planning to do something there."

This is extremely important news.Xu Xu asked with great interest: "Does the riot planned by Mr. Liang have to wait for the imperial army to be launched?"

"I don't even know about this." Liu Wei shook his head and said, "Mr. Le strongly disagrees with Mr. Liang's riot. He said that it has no other purpose than letting many loyal and brave people lose their lives in vain."

"Where is Mr. Wang?"

"He is incompetent." Liu Zheng said, "Anyway, it was Liang Cunhou's men who lost."

"So, Shi Weng has no intention of getting involved in this matter."

"Exactly." Liu Wei said, "Shi Weng doesn't have many people, so we can't waste them on this. What Mr. Le means is that all people in Guangdong must hide. The team does not need to be large, let alone setting up a stronghold. When taking action, Gather together. Give the Kun thieves a try: kill a few fake Kuns, set fire to the Kun thieves' properties, tie up the tickets of the Kun merchants, and attack the ships carrying goods along the way..."

"Invasion." Xu Xu thought that Zhou Lezhi was really crazy this week. He was planning to become a guerrilla!
"Mr. Le of yours is truly a genius!"

"Who says it's not the case? Even Pindao admires him very much."

"I want to catch Mr. Le now, do you have any ideas?" Xu Xu said with a smile.

"Pindao said that he acted alone, and Pindao doesn't know his whereabouts..."

"The capital is so big, I don't think he would run around everywhere. There are always some places he often goes to."

Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Le used to live in a mansion, and Pindao has been there. But Mr. Le no longer lives there."

"where is it?"

"It's at Wang Gong Factory."

"Wang Gongchang?" This name was very familiar to all the elders. After all, the "Apocalypse Explosion" as an "unbelievable thing" had already grown in their ears.

"Wasn't that place bombed?"

"After the bombing, people will naturally come to live there. How can there be vacant places in the capital, where the land is so valuable? It's just that the market has not yet returned to what it was before."

"Where exactly?"

Liu Zheng did not hide anything, and immediately told the location and appearance of the mansion.

"Is anyone still living in there?"

"Mr. Zhou has two concubines and two children."

"Child? He has a child?!" Xu Xu seemed to have heard big news, "What's his name?"

"The eldest is a girl, named Zhou Juli, and the younger is a boy, named Zhou Newton."

These two names are quite awesome.Needless to say, Zhou Lezhi must be a science and engineering man.My wife has also married two, she is awesome.

"It will be easier if he has a family." Xu smiled.Liu Xing gave him a strange look, and then Xu Xu realized that he had made a mistake.

"This disciple doesn't want to visit Master's wife either?"

"Mr. Le said that it would be safer not to see them. With Mr. Wang taking care of them, they will not be wronged."

"Are there any letters, notes or anything like that left in the mansion?"

"No more, everything was taken away by Mr. Le. There were three large carts of stuff in total."

"Where did it go?"

"It's probably Mr. Wang's house. I don't know the specific whereabouts."

Although Liu Zheng was very sure, and he had no need to deceive himself, Zhou Lezhi probably still had some important documents hidden in the mansion.Just like the letters Liu Ming hid in his study.

A lonely visitor from another time and space must have a strong desire to talk, and nine times out of ten, he would not be willing to let his adventure disappear.It is very possible that he secretly left written materials.

As for his wives, concubines, and children, it would be prudent to keep them under control.Although the children were young, the wives and concubines were all adults. It was difficult to say what Zhou Lezhi said to them or what they saw.

"So, Mr. Zhou had a lot of things in the mansion at that time?"

"Not just a lot, but several rooms worth of items."

"What are they?" Xuancheng became interested immediately.

"Most of them are Australian goods." Liu Zhen said that whether Zhou Lezhi accompanied Wang Yehao to Guangdong to take office or stayed in the capital, he would send people to secretly purchase all kinds of Australian goods and some Australian books.Most of these Australian products are unpopular Australian scientific instruments and experimental equipment.

"... He has a special study room with custom-made tables and cabinets filled with these Australian craftsmanship. He will spend three to five days in it. He also asked Wang Zhi and his apprentice to go around to collect all kinds of strange things. Sometimes it makes me look disgraced..."

Having said this, Liu Zheng couldn't help but laugh, probably remembering some funny scene.

"Did he ever make utensils?"

"I have made many drawings and made hand-made samples. The craftsmen made them are very exquisite, but most of them are strange and ingenious things. He is good at talking about weapons, and he speaks clearly and clearly, and even the drawings on paper are Countless sharp weapons. He really wanted to make them, but he couldn't do this or that one. Mr. Wang asked him to imitate the gunpowder of the Nanyang rifle, but he refused. He asked him to make cannons, but he said he was not good at casting. But he had made them at Dongyang Farm. A waterwheel was said to be used to blow air into a small blast furnace to make steel, but in the end the steel was not made. That waterwheel is very useful for pounding rice and grinding flour."

When Liu Zheng said this, his face was full of teasing.Li Quan felt a sense of desolation.

Put yourself in your shoes. You are alone, among people who don't understand you at all. Although you have many resources, you are unable to turn the ideas in your mind into reality.Even though he had a background in science and engineering, he knew astronomy, geography, and the gunpowder glass soap recipe... But when he really started to do it, he realized that there were too many prerequisites and process details missing.

There is no one around him who can help him, and may not even understand what he is saying.

This terrible feeling of loneliness and helplessness... Quan Quan thought to himself, thanks to the Senate!

"Are there any books too?"

"There are many, all Australian books. I don't know who you are printing these things to sell to, but about 99 out of a hundred can't understand them..."

"Has he written any books or notes himself? Except for the Book of Heaven."

"According to Wang Zhi: He writes every night, and after he writes, he teaches his disciples, and he talks until late at night."

Although Liu Zheng didn't know what was written in the manuscript, Xu Xu could probably guess that it was mostly books on various science and technology and military matters, and maybe it also contained content similar to "Hai Guo Tu Zhi".In essence, it is not much different from the various books published by the Senate.

……

The interrogation of Liu Wei yielded a lot of valuable information, and basically figured out the trump card of Shi Weng Group.Especially the information about "Mr. Le" is groundbreaking.

The most valuable information is to figure out the masterminds behind the series of cases that have occurred in Guangzhou since the liberation of Guangzhou and the network between them.

Generally speaking, Liang Cunhou was not deeply involved in the witchcraft case, and even the counterfeit currency case had nothing to do with him.But judging from the information provided by Liu Zhen, he was determined to "do big things."Once he does it, the consequences will be disastrous.

At present, the "remnants" from various places have gradually merged together after several years of turmoil, forming a group that is loose but closely connected.

However, their integration may not be a bad thing, Xu Xu thought, at least it would give the Senate a chance to catch them all.Liang Cunhou, in particular, has been holding back and accepting everything, so that the Political Security Bureau has never been able to find anything to do with him.If there is no solid evidence to bring him to justice, public opinion will inevitably arouse the discussion of "burning bridges across the river".This is also the reason why the Political Security Bureau has only been monitoring and never taking action over the years.

As for those Jin gentry who were like moths throwing themselves into the fire, they should be given a thorough cleansing.Although the remaining large gentry households were not necessarily loyal to the Senate, at least they were no longer a potential threat to Ji Tu to cause rebellion.

After this sweep of blood and fire, the situation in Guangdong was completely stabilized.

In contrast, knowing that Shi Weng was Wang Yehao was not an important matter.After all, Mr. Wang doesn't have much money, and he relies entirely on "Mr. Le" who comes from nowhere.As long as Mr. Le is removed, the Shi Weng Group will be defeated.
The next priority is to catch Zhou Lezhi.Whether he traveled through time, took possession of his body, or was a disciple, it would be obvious if he was caught.
