The best fake eunuch.

Chapter 256 The Power of Money

The situation was urgent, Meng Long and his men did not dare to delay at all, they stopped at a post station for a short rest, changed horses and continued on their way day and night, and had already rushed to Xi'an City in one day and one night.

Xi'an is far more prosperous than Didao, with many people coming in and out.There were heavy soldiers guarding the city gate, in order to avoid some troubles, Meng Long and the others dispersed their horses, entered the city separately, and joined each other for a round.

"Brother Meng, let's go, let's go in." Meeting a medicine shop, Bai Yuhu stopped and watched for a while, and went in together with Meng Long, Meng Jiao and others.

"Gentlemen, do you want to get medicine or see a doctor?"

Meng Long and the others didn't speak, Bai Yuhu walked forward and said, "Grasp the medicine, but the medicine I caught is a little strange, agarwood and unicorn blood, do you have these two medicines?"

"Coincidentally, these two kinds of medicines are available in small shops. But they are rare medicinal materials and expensive, so I don't put them here. Please move to the back."

The clerk in the shop smiled and invited everyone to the back. As soon as he arrived at the room, the clerk immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinate, Li Yu, pay my respects to your lord."

Meng Long and Meng Jiao already knew about it, so they didn't find it strange, they found their own seats and sat down, even they felt exhausted after traveling all day and night.

Bai Yuhu took out his token and handed it to Li Yu. After verifying it, Li Yu said, "It turns out that it's the third rank. I don't know why the lord is looking for his subordinates?"

"I'm here on the order of Lord Governor, and you can contact the personnel to investigate Lei Chong and General Lei's situation, including his address, hobbies, followers, and family situation. Give it to me before nightfall."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

In all parts of the Central Plains, in order to better monitor local officials, Dongchang has spies.Li Yu is the spy placed here by Dongchang. There is an obvious sign in the dark of the drugstore where everyone in Dongchang can recognize it.

Not long after Li Yu left, the men and horses brought by Meng Long gathered together one after another.Everyone traveled a long distance for a day and a night, and they were exhausted.While Li Yu was inquiring about the news, take the time to rest.

On weekdays, Li Yu and others are responsible for monitoring Lei Chong, and they already have some information on this person.After Bai Yuhu gave the order, Li Yu came back in the afternoon.

According to the information, Lei Chong, as the commander-in-chief of a province, is heavily guarded in the general's mansion, and there are as many as 300 personal soldiers alone.Meng Long's previous plan needs to be changed. Originally, they planned to control Lei Chong's family before meeting him. If he refused, they could force him to submit, but now it seems that it can't.

Meng Long looked at the information in his hands repeatedly, and as they had expected, Lei Chong was a member of Gao Gong's school.He served as the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi for a long time. He married ten concubines and gave birth to a son.

Now things are a bit tricky, although Lei Chong is lustful, he usually doesn't go to brothels, as long as the women he likes are brought into the general's mansion, he must go back to the mansion every night to enjoy himself.And traveling with a large number of guards, it is impossible to start with him.

In the end, Meng Long set his sights on Lei Chong's son. Lei Chong, as the commander-in-chief of one side, his son was mostly domineering and flamboyant, which might be a breakthrough.

"Li Yu, let me ask you, Lei Hongji's son, Lei Hongji, what kind of character is he, and what are his hobbies?"

"Responding to my lord, Lei Hongji, relying on Lei Chong's power, is a little overlord here, and no one dares to provoke him. Like Lei Chong, he likes women. He bought a house in the city and robbed all the women he liked. Go, besides making troubles on the street every day, I just go back to his golden house to be happy."

"How about the guards around Lei Hongji? Are there any masters?"

"My lord, Lei Chong is the commander-in-chief of a party, and no one dares to provoke his son, so Mr. Lei is surrounded by some of his cronies. There are no masters in the street."

"Okay, go down and send someone to follow Mr. Lei, and notify us as soon as he returns to the mansion."

Li Yu ordered him to go down, and Bai Yuhu asked, "It seems that Brother Meng wants to attack Lei Hongji."

"At present, this is the only way to go. In the evening, you and I will accompany Wang Zhizhou to the General's Mansion. Fourth brother, you will take someone to meet Mr. Lei at night."

Wang Yisheng didn't close his eyes all night, and was tired all the way. Now he has already slept beside him like a pig, and the snoring has never stopped.Meng Long glanced at Wang Yisheng with a smile, and said, "Everyone, take the time to rest and act at night."

As night fell, Meng Long and the others quietly went out through the back door of the pharmacy.Meng Long and Bai Yuhu took Wang Yisheng to the General's Mansion, and Meng Jiao took the rest to Mr. Lei's residence.

"My lords, what do you want to say when you leave for a while?" Wang Yisheng has changed into that wretched look since he was slapped by the house.Although the official position was above Bai Yuhu, he didn't dare to show any airs in front of the two of them, so he asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty Zhizhou is too polite, how dare Meng Mou call you a master in front of you. When you meet Mr. Lei, you just need to tell Mr. Lei the truth about Di Daozhou's situation, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Yes... yes, I must do it."

"By the way, Mr. Wang, how can you say that you are also Didao Zhizhou, I hope you will look like Zhizhou soon. If you look like this, no one will believe it."

The General's Mansion arrived soon, and there were two mighty guards standing on both sides of the tall gatehouse.As soon as the three of Meng Long arrived, they were stopped.

"Stop, who are you?"

The three of Meng Long were dressed in extraordinary clothes and had extraordinary auras. Although the guards stopped them, they were considered polite and did not directly send them away.Meng Long and Bai Yuhu didn't speak on the left and the other on the right, Wang Yisheng stepped forward and said, "I'm the prefect of Di Dao, I have some important matters to discuss with the general, please let me know."

At this moment, Wang Yisheng finally took out his official position, and the guard didn't dare to be too negligent when he heard that he was the Zhizhou, so he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, wait a moment, this subordinate will go and report."

Waiting outside, Meng Long frowned. After waiting for such a long time, he still hasn't come out. It won't take such a long time to make an announcement.

It took a while for the guard to come out.

"Master Zhizhou, I'm really sorry, the general is not at the house, you should go back."

Wang Yisheng didn't know what to do for a while, and looked back at Meng Long for help.Meng Long knew in his heart that Lei Chong was definitely at the mansion, otherwise the guards would not have been in for so long. It seemed that Lei Chong didn't want to meet them.

Meng Long stepped forward, walked to the doorman, took out 100 taels of silver, pushed it into the man's hand, and said with a smile: "You two have worked hard, I will give these to you to drink."

That's why money can turn ghosts around. When the two guards saw the silver, their zombie faces immediately turned into peachy faces. One of them looked around and saw no one. He put the silver into his arms and whispered: " You three, I think you also know that the general is at the mansion, but the general doesn't want to see you, so there is nothing we can do about it."

Although the two took things, they didn't intend to do anything.Meng Long was not angry either, he picked up a small box in his hand, opened it, and there were gold bars neatly packed inside, and the two guards looked straight at it.

Gently closing the box, Meng Long said: "To be honest, Di Dao has been occupied by rebels, and my lord escaped with great difficulty. He came to meet General Lei for no other reason than to hope that General Lei would guide him. A way to survive, what I have in my hand is to honor General Lei."

"This? The general has already said that we won't see you, so it's not easy for us to do it." The two guards hesitated, their eyes fixed on the box in Meng Long's hand.

How could Meng Long not know what the two of them were thinking, so he took out another 50 taels of silver, and said, "I would like to ask you two to report again, and these will be yours after the matter is completed. Besides, if you delay the general's chance to make a fortune, you will be rewarded in the future." At that time, the general will punish you, and the two of you will not be able to bear the crime."

As soon as the money came out, the smiles on the faces of the two became wider, and they said: "Okay, I will report it again, whether it can be done or not depends on your luck."
