Although there are [-] guard battalions accompanying him for protection, no one in Daqin would dare to make a move.

For safety reasons, it is necessary to find out whether there is an ambush ahead.

Ming Tao's task is to protect the safety, so as long as it is about the young master's safety, he will never be half-sloppy.

The team will not move on until there is no ambush within twenty miles of patrolling from the sky!

Qin Xuan just watched quietly ten meters away and didn't speak.

Qin takes his own safety very seriously!

When a guard came to search him, he found a dagger and a photo to prove his identity.

The person who came looked at the tightly guarded direction and said in a loud voice: "General, the villain came from Kuaiji County and has important news to report!"

Chapter 655 Hidden Traces

Qin Xuan was ten meters away, vaguely heard the word 'Huaiji', and his eyes could not help but focus.

Shen Sheng said: "Let him come over!"

The visitor let go of the blocked road after being searched in detail.

Cautiously approached and saluted respectfully: "The villain greets the general!"

Qin Xuan nodded slightly, sitting on the horseback and looking down at the skinny man below.

Shen Sheng said: "What's the specific situation?"

The man's expression froze, and he immediately said respectfully: "General, the villain is a spy under Dianke Qing Dunwei, who was ordered to carry out a secret investigation mission in Kuaiji!

According to Shangfeng's account, the general ordered this mission personally, and the villain dared not slack off, so he secretly checked and visited every day... "

He talked a lot eloquently, and the beginning of the story was basically flattering!

Qin Xuan listened patiently, with a calm expression and no urging.

After watching one hundred and eighty spy war dramas, I also know a truth. For intelligence investigation, the main thing is to be patient.

Many times, important clues are found on some innocuous issues in the report!

Qin Xuan listened carefully, and found that...the foreshadowing in the early stage was really just flattery, and he wanted to express how diligent the person in charge is....

The man lowered his head and continued: "The villain was ordered to hide his identity for investigation in Kuaiji County, so his public identity is the owner of a rice shop.

After lurking and secretly investigating for three months, nothing was found, nor the three uncles and nephews you ordered to look for.

However, a few days ago, it was discovered that the number of people buying food from one family increased dramatically! "

Qin Xuan frowned and asked, "How much has it increased?"

The man thought for a while and said hastily: "Back to the general, this family originally purchased food for a dozen people, but the amount suddenly increased to 50 people the day before yesterday!

Daqin has strict household registration management, and the villain has never heard of any big family moving here.

And now that His Majesty is recruiting servants, it is reasonable to say that basically it will only reduce the consumption of rations. How could it suddenly increase so much?

The villain felt suspicious, so he visited the other two rice shops.

It was found that their situation was the same, and the number of dozens of people suddenly increased!

And just like the villain's rice store, it was a sudden large purchase by one family!

The villain believes that this matter is by no means simple! "

Qin Xuan nodded slightly, with a look of approval on his face.

The food consumption of a family will basically not fluctuate much.

As this person analyzed, the emperor is now preparing to use troops against Baiyue, and has recruited many servants to help the army transport food.

It stands to reason that if someone in the family is recruited, the consumption of rations should be reduced.

Why did it suddenly increase?

The economic level of Daqin was far less prosperous than that of later generations.

Even for ordinary people, it is quite normal for casually stockpile hundreds of catties of rice for emergency.

But the people of Daqin had just gone through the chaos of war, and they didn't have much food left.

The sudden increase now seems a bit unusual!

Moreover, several shops in the city have encountered the same situation. There are people who buy a lot of rice and noodles, and I always feel that there is something to cover up!

If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that nearly [-] unidentified people suddenly increased in the county?

Qin Xuan frowned, and said lightly: "Continue talking!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The man responded respectfully, and hurriedly continued to report: "The villain felt that this matter was a bit strange, so he went to those families to investigate at night!

But the villain didn't dare to get close, so he could only hide on a big tree and observe from a distance.

Although I didn't see if anyone was really there, but from the analysis of three burly men fetching water by the well, there must be dozens of people hidden in the house!

Because if it's just one family, a tank of water is enough.
