Water Margin: Spit on Lin Chong at the beginning!

Dong Chao said, “Do you still need me to say?” Now there are secrets to speak of. The Lord of the Zhixian County on the front foot approved the invitation, and someone on the back foot spread the news. If you don’t say it, you can’t find out. ”

Wu Song opened his mouth wide and was angry: “How dare they?” And what is the difference between this and fornication with enemy countries? ”

Dong Chao smiled and said, “Eating and drinking on weekdays feeds you, isn’t it just for this day?” The above came to check, and inadvertently said that there was a leak of the mouth? It is to blame down, but it is an unintentional mistake. It was the same a thousand years ago and a thousand years later, and brothers should not be so surprised. ”

Wu Song was extremely confused: “Then if I really want to check him, what will happen?” ”

Dong Chao counted his fingers one by one: “High-pressure supervision by superiors; Off-site callers; sudden raids; Temporary replacement of targets; Webcast live – this doesn’t count. So much for that, in short, not what we can do now. ”

Wu Song seemed to understand: “Since we can’t do it, what else can we investigate?” ”

Dong Chao stretched out his finger again and gestured: “First, check his hundred secrets and one omission.” Many clues actually came from his own ledgers, documents, logs, and records. Because there are so many bad things done, even if you know in advance, you may not be able to touch them clean. Following the clues, small clues may be able to identify big problems. This often requires professionals, just those brothers under us, unless it is a big luck, blind cat meets a dead rat. ”

“The second is to check his internal discord. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, Ximen Qing is so arrogant and domineering, which subordinate remembers hatred on weekdays, hiding some evidence of his greed and lawlessness, and it is unknown when someone comes to investigate. ”

“The third is to check his uncontrollable hand. Logically speaking, there are murderers and arsons, but there are no people who commit crimes against the wind. People come here to check, and there always have to converge. But there are always people in this world who are stupid, stupid, and people who can’t help themselves. Under heavy pressure, as long as he moves, there will always be a trace to follow. ”

“Other than that, the rest is just a show. I completed my task and left on a mission; You are still here to live your beautiful life, do not forget to honor in time. ”

This time, Wu Song understood: “That Ximen Qing should be the third item, and he can’t help himself.” So I told him in advance, and we can still find out the problem? ”

Dong Chao was not so optimistic. The most direct problem was that he really couldn’t think of any urgent task that the Liao Kingdom could have in such a year, which needed to be completed by a spy from Shandong.

It is now the fifth year of Zhenghe, which is 1115 AD.

In his impression, from now until the demise of the Liao State ten years later, the energy of the Khitan people has been on the northern front, and it is absolutely impossible to make any moves against the Great Song Dynasty after being tossed by the Jurchens.

In that case, what is Ximen Qing in a hurry to do?

It is still necessary to carefully examine before you have an idea. The biggest feature of Ximen Qing is the medicine merchants in the four provinces, if there is anything that others can’t do, they can only start from here.

Dong Chao rubbed his head and began to arrange: “Brother, from tomorrow, you will bring thirty people to inspect the county seat of Yanggu and the nine townships and three towns under it; I took a dozen or so delicate ones, and checked them one by one on the Ximen family’s business. If you find anything embarrassing, let’s keep the news at any time. ”

Wu Song was a little strange: “Brother doesn’t cover up at all, just focus on Ximen Qing with such fanfare?” ”

Dong Chao replied: “Today there is the appearance of the lion upstairs, everyone knows that I can’t deal with Ximen Qing. Now I want to declare a personal vendetta and use the inspection as an excuse to trouble him, even Ximen Qing himself will feel reasonable. ”

“The county official is better than the current management, although he climbed to Cai Taishi, but Tokyo is too far away after all, and Qian Zhixian is biased towards me.” As long as he wanted to continue to make a living in Yanggu County, unless he tried to transfer the head of Pontus, he had to endure this breath. ”

Wu Songzhen was still a little worried: “I heard that Ximen Qing has a lot of doors in Tokyo. My brother targeted him like this, if he found it all the way, it would really be a lot of trouble. ”

Dong Chao smiled and said, “Don’t worry about this. Brother, do you think that although it is a small capital, it can be withdrawn if you say that you can withdraw? With the protection of the Lord of Zhi County, the state capital may not move us. Even if he goes to Cai Jing, it will take time to fabricate charges. It is also necessary to investigate and verify and solicit the wishes of state and county officials. Lord Qian delayed for some time, plus the back and forth, and it was impossible to achieve anything in three or four months. ”

Wu Song learned a lot of things again, and nodded: “Since my brother has already calculated it, then Wu Song will act according to his brother’s arrangement.” ”

Two said yes. From the second day, Wu Song led thirty pawns from the county seat of Yanggu, one town, ten miles and eight towns.

Dong Chao took a dozen fine and capable soldiers and went straight to Anle Town, the capital of Yanggu County.

Anle Town is the base camp of Ximenqing medicinal materials, and countless raw medicinal materials come in every day, are coarsely processed, then divided and boxed, and sent to all parts of the country.

Walking on the middle avenue of Anle Town, the air is filled with the unique medicinal aroma of Chinese medicinal herbs. While curiously looking at the buildings on both sides like modern factory buildings, Dong Chao listened to the introduction of Liu Qing, who was called by the chief manager next to him:

“There are five pharmacies in Anle Town: Jia Fang is responsible for the receipt, inspection and distribution of raw medicinal materials; B Fang is responsible for the processing of medium and low quality medicinal materials; C Fang is responsible for the development of top medicinal materials; Ding Fang is responsible for the packaging and delivery of finished medicinal materials; Pengfang is a general warehouse for raw and cooked medicinal materials to be disposed of. I don’t know what to see first? ”

Dong Chao found himself in the blind spot of knowledge, and if he wanted to talk about the functional medicinal properties of certain medicinal materials, he could also say some. But for the process flow of this pharmaceutical, it is a proper layman.

It doesn’t hurt, I don’t want to become an expert in Chinese medicine. Dong Chao asked first, “What about the Ximen official of your family?” And that Yan Si didn’t come either? ”

Liu Qing replied: “The big official said that he had provoked everyone’s eyes, so he didn’t come to scold; Butler Yan was busy all day, and the villain rarely saw him. ”

“Don’t worry, the big official has asked the villain to fully cooperate with Dutou. When this place was first built three years ago, it was presided over by villains, and it was the same to find villains for anything. ”

Dong Chao smiled: “Ximen Qing just randomly found any reason, and it was just that he couldn’t come.” So straightforward not to see Pontus. Could it be that he was really wronged? It’s a lot of anger! ”

Liu Qing’s eyes looked at the nose, nose, mouth, and mouth, and did not answer a word.

Dong Chao waved his hand: “That’s it, these things have nothing to do with you.” The pharmacy is not in a hurry to go, first go to your place to sit for a while, and take a look at the account books of the past few years, the records of the medicine and the medicine. ”

Liu Qing said and led Dong Chao and his party to a small courtyard in the middle. First hurriedly arranged the tea seats for these ten or so people, and then led people out for a long time, seeing that it was already noon, he actually carried twelve or three large boxes over.

Dong Chao looked at the box and looked at Liu Qing: “Is this a problem for Pontus?” ”

Liu Qing threw up his hand: “The villain will never dare!” Although the pharmacy has only been built for three years, there are too many business transactions, and they dare not deceive the adults, so they have to take all the books and records. ”

Dong Chao frowned, looked at the sun, and patted Liu Qing’s shoulder: “General Manager Liu is really competent, no wonder the Ximen official is so relieved.” I said to Ximen Qing that day on the Lion Tower, and I was not responsible for the past. ”

“Let’s eat something indiscriminately to fill your hunger first, you only take a look at the selection of the past month, and go through the motions.”

He said that he was eating something indiscriminately, and Liu Qing naturally did not dare to snub. Good wine and meat were entertained for a round, and a box was carried over with full wine and food.

Dong Chao waved his big hand, came out two servants, put a seal on it, and carried it back.

Just this one box, the county office specially invited two old account office gentlemen, and after reading it, it took two days of hard work and did not find any loopholes.

This was also expected, Dong Chao was not discouraged, so he began to inspect the various industries under Ximen Qing’s name one by one.

Ximen Qing was also breathless, and Ren Dongchao tossed and tossed and never showed up again. Even the one named Yan Si has never seen anyone again.

Where did Ximen Qing go?

In fact, in Yanggu County, every day in the mansion, listening to various shops report Dong Chao’s movements; In the evening, I went to the small courtyard in the northeast.

The maps of Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi and Gyeonggi have not yet been completed, and since they are ready to be submitted, they must hurry up and do some finishing work.

Ximen Qing has always been amorous, and it is common for him not to go home at night, and no one looks for him.

Half a month passed, and Dong Chao only had the last pharmacy shop left unchecked; The map of Ximenqing was also basically completed.

He was done, and the opposite side found nothing. Ximen Qing was a little proud, humming a little ditty in the small room while thinking; In the past few days, I have really been wronged, and tomorrow I have to find a place to spread fire.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air outside the window, and then it seemed that someone fell to the ground.

There should be no third person in this courtyard other than himself and Zeng Kui. Ximen Qingdeng became nervous, casually extinguished the candle lamp, leaned against the door with a knife, and quietly listened to the movement outside.

A familiar voice outside the door: “Is the official available?” I’m Yan Si, I’m back! ”

Ximen Qing relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief, lit the candle, and casually opened the door.

To Ximen Qing’s surprise, not only Zeng Kui flashed in, but also one more person behind him.

Fang Cai Ximen Qing clearly only heard Zeng Kui’s movement, and this person who came over the wall and landed quietly and silently!

The person who came was dressed in black and masked, and Ximen Qing couldn’t look carefully under the candlelight. I had to nod my head in greeting, and looked at Zeng Kui suspiciously: Which one is this in the house?

Zeng Kui’s words showed respect: “This is the family teacher, Shi Zhengwengong.” The official should have heard his old man’s name. ”

Ximen Qing’s eyes widened, and there was some trepidation in his eyes.

This is the apprehension of a person who practices martial arts and sees a generation of grandmasters.
