Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 756 It really is a big fish
Ye Chen frowned and asked: "If there is an authentic one, how can I find it?"

"The owner of Zhang Bo's family discovered that the soil was dug more than a month ago, that is to say, it was leased or bought within the past two months. It is not too far away from Pingli's shop. I put the range within a hundred steps. Send spies who are familiar with Xiangyangmen to inquire, and they should be able to find out tomorrow."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Send someone to take Zhang Bo home first, and keep an eye on him in secret, so as not to be discovered by the other party and escape early. Well, I won't talk about how to do it. If you need to mobilize the army to block the nearby intersection , Go directly to the Military Hub, and I will let Xin Shi pass on my oral order to Yang Jiye later. In short, tomorrow I will know that the clown has been arrested."

Hu Sanguang respectfully said yes.Ye Chen said to Li Junhao and Han Xizai again: "Han Xianggong handled it rightly today. It's about the ministers of the DPRK and China. Han Xianggong should have informed the superintendent."

...

...

"Within [-] paces of Pingli shops, there are [-] shops that have been leased or traded recently." Feng Zhiyuan, the intelligence department officer of the Ministry of Security, spread out the map and pointed to Hu Sanguang. Zheng Bao.

"Five of them are couples who run small businesses. Their business locations are in the city market. They have children and parents living together. The most important thing is that they have lived in Xiazhou for more than three years, which can basically be ruled out. The other one is a restaurant. There are too many people, it is not suitable for digging tunnels, and there are four large courtyards, all of which are merchants from all over the country. Although one is a merchant from the Jingzhao Mansion of the Song Dynasty, it can be found that there are purchases and large transactions in the trading company. No. The remaining two households are the most suspect, because there are few people coming in and out on weekdays..."

Hu Sanguang nodded while listening, Feng Zhiyuan also spoke very seriously, Zheng Bao intervened and asked: "There is only one person living in the Song State second-hand bookstall at night, do you want to stay this time? In the future, Song State will have a new one." If people come over, they can find out through this old bookstall, so that our security department can have more opportunities to make meritorious service."

Hu Sanguang thought for a while, then shook his head, and said, "No, we can't make a mistake this time. If the shop has a back door or a tunnel, and we inform the clown after we escape, we will lose more than we gain. We will arrest people at night, and the entrance of the tunnel is narrow. It will not be in places like the garden, it must be in the room of the most important person. If the clown lives in another place, then the most important person in the Pingli store must know the place, otherwise they will not be able to contact them. We are in those few houses Wait in the room and catch him at the exit. After catching this man, Meng Yiren will torture him personally, and he must ask the clown's hiding place before dawn, and surround the clown's hiding place before opening the city gate."

"I have already coordinated a battalion of the City Defense Army with the Military Central Department to assist us in encircling the designated area. Well...someone in the army recently proposed to establish a military intelligence department, and wanted to get a piece from the security department. His Majesty has not agreed for the time being. This time What was caught was a big fish, and high officials from the court and central government were involved, and the military people were also watching, so everyone cheered up and acted quickly and quietly, so as not to embarrass the Ministry of Security."

Several people nodded at the same time, all gearing up.Meng Yiren said coldly: "When the clown is caught, he must be subjected to the two tortures I have recently researched. I guarantee that he will not be able to survive or die. He will obediently tell everything he knows."

Hu Sanguang clapped his palms, and said to several people: "Okay, let's assign tasks. This officer is responsible for controlling the surrounding area of ​​Xiangyangmen Street and coordinating with the troops sent by the military department to assist."

"Feng Zhiyuan's operation tonight will be carried out at several places at the same time. The few people in Zhang Bo's mansion will be in charge of the action team. You will be responsible for directly attacking Pingli shops, second-hand bookstores and several suspicious places at the exit of the tunnel."

Feng Zhiyuan solemnly said yes.

Hu Sanguang turned to look at Zheng Bao, and said: "Zheng Bao is in charge of arresting the clown himself, leading the experts of the operation department to stand by on the two wings of Xiangyang Gate. According to my deduction, the place where the clown is located will not be too far from Xiangyang Gate. It is inconvenient to send letters, and it is impossible to know in time whether the Pingli store is safe."

Zheng Bao pointed to the sketch, and said in a deep thought: "The plan is to dispatch the first, second and third teams of the Operation Department to attack the Pingli store. After the operation begins, a battalion of the city defense army will control the roads around Xiangyangmen Street, and everyone is strictly prohibited. Go out and walk around. Although those two houses are the most suspected exit of the tunnel, the other houses should also send people to guard them. If they fail, they will enter the other houses. Our people must be at every intersection, and we should blow the whistle in case of emergency."

Hu Sanguang interrupted and asked: "When approaching at night, it is easy to disturb the dogs in the households. How did you arrange it, and how did you send a signal to let everyone do it together?"

"The subordinates arranged it like this..."

...

...

Under the night, Xiazhou was silent, and a battalion of city defense troops had blocked all the intersections and passages within a hundred steps of the Pingli store.

A watchman happened to pass by, and he hid on the side of the road, let the Kaicheng defense army, and began to watch the watch rhythmically. With the sound of the watchman, more than 30 black figures sprang out from the back street, causing the barking of dogs to be heard on the street. The yelling and response didn't seem harsh.

They listened quietly for a while, fished over the wall with a rope, and threw pork soaked in poison. After waiting for a while, they leaned against the wall with a short cloth-wrapped ladder, and slipped quietly into the wall one by one.

This location is the place where there are no wing rooms in the three entrances. There is a main hall, a main room and four wing rooms in total. At this moment, it is pitch black. The masters of the Operation Department who have seen the courtyard map are divided into groups and arrive at the door of the target house. , and some people entered the secondary and primary.

Zheng Bao, dressed in black, squatted in the courtyard to observe. There was no window in the main room, but only one door, which looked very strange. The most suspicious part was the strange place. Zheng Bao reckoned that the tunnel should be there.After everyone was seated, Zheng Bao squeaked like a mouse, and then one person retreated from the fence. He came to the street and waved the fire rope in his hand at the watchman.

The watchman looked at the street in a blink of an eye. Several black shadows had already reached the door of the second-hand bookstore and shook the matchlock in his hand. Then the watchman waved the lantern in his hand towards the bell tower in the distance. Xiangyang Gate, you can see the signal of the lantern.

"Dang!" The bell of the third watch rang, and the clear bell sound spread throughout the city, and could be heard clearly even outside the city.The action teams waiting in various places were launched at the same time, and a new team also appeared in the direction of Yangmen.

In the backyard of Pingli Shop, there was a sound of breaking the door, and the master of the operations department quickly broke open the door, several people rushed into the house in groups, and there were several screams from the three wing rooms, which were then cut off.A strong man at the main entrance slammed into the gate violently, and the door bolt broke with a click, and the team members behind rushed in. Only then did the second bell ring.

Zheng Bao followed at the end of the team, only to hear angrily yelling inside. It turned out that there was an extra wall built inside, and the door was very strong. Some of the first-class masters are mobilizing their true energy to break through the door with a heavy knife in their hands.

There was the sound of overturning furniture behind the door, and the door leaves were shattered piece by piece under the full blow of the team leader, and the team leader then slashed out with a knife, causing the pieces of wood to fall one after another, and the bookshelves and wardrobes piled up inside were also shaken In pieces, the nine bells had just rung when they rushed in.

When Zheng Bao walked into the room, two subordinates had already opened two wooden boards under the bed and found the entrance of the cave. One of them jumped in with a short knife and a torch, and then the two of them jumped in again. Leopard stopped the others, and jumped down to take a look. The cave was very narrow, but he could walk upright. The torch light in the cave was flickering. Zheng Bao judged the direction, and it was going to the southwest.

Zheng Bao couldn't help but sneer.The direction of the escaped person was the most suspected house. His subordinates were already waiting there, and everything was under his control.

Because the matter involved Zhang Bo, who is valued by His Majesty the Emperor, the Ministry of Security tried its best to capture the clown, a big fish, with the spirit of a tiger fighting a rabbit, but there was no suspense. That night, including the clown, there were a total of five hiding places in the secret base of Songwei Mansion. At the same time, a total of seven people were all captured and interrogated overnight. Including the clown whose strength reached the level of a first-class master, no one could persist for more than half a stick of incense under the two tortures invented by Meng Yiren's new research, and finally pass everything they knew Said it all.

The identity of the clown did not disappoint Hu Sanguang either. He was the number two person in the Xiangfu State branch of Song Weifu. He knew most of the secret bases of Xiangfu State in Xiangfu State. The Ministry of Security gained a lot from him. Hu Sanguang Sanguang made a decisive decision and sent thousands of people overnight to all parts of the country to carry out a massive arrest campaign together with the stronghold of the local Ministry of Security.

However, the No. [-] person in the Song Wei Mansion in Xiangfu Kingdom did not know from the clown. When asked this question, the clown committed suicide directly.And the others didn't even know who the envoy of the Song Wei Mansion's sub-mansion in Xiangfu Kingdom was.

As for Zhang Bo, the testimony of the clown and others confirmed that what Zhang Bo said before was true. Although there were treasonous acts, in view of the fact that the information revealed did not cause substantial losses to Xiangfu Kingdom, and there was a reason for the incident, Ye Chen and Han Xizai , Ma Wentao, Yang Jiye, Li Junhao, Hu Sanguang and others discussed and finally decided to demote Zhang Bo.

The newly established seven counties based on the newly reclaimed more than 200 million mu of fertile land in the Hetao Plain and the Hengshan Wasteland have recently undergone a lot of things such as city construction, household establishment, land division, and management, especially for the Han people who immigrated to the past. There were several conflicts among local party members.Kou Zhun is still young and inexperienced. He is currently in charge of one county, but the big situation in seven counties cannot be resolved. Ye Chen has never had a suitable candidate to coordinate and handle this matter. Now that Zhang Bo has been demoted, Just being able to do this thing can be regarded as a kind of distribution in disguise.

Of course, after this incident, Li Yu, who was in Kaifeng in Song Dynasty, could no longer live.In fact, Ye Chen had asked Bai Canghai to send a gold-medal killer from the special brigade to Kaifeng in Song Dynasty. He believed that Li Yu would really die soon.
