"Master Governor is really good at predicting things. He actually ambush people early, which makes his subordinates admire him!" An old man in rich clothes stood and complimented another chubby officer with a round face. He was smiling broadly.

The wrinkles on his face were all tangled, and it was obvious that the round-faced old man had an unusual identity.

"Haha, it's just a mistake, it's just a mistake." The fat man's chubby face had a smile on his face, and he kept being humble, but judging from his expression, it was obviously quite useful.

"Haha, even if it is a coincidence, if it happens to the Governor, it will be a great blessing for the Governor!" The old man in rich clothes was still patting the horse.

"Long live the Lord's blessing, Long live the Lord's blessing!"

Seeing this, many people guessed that this chubby old man was none other than Wei Zhongxian, who traveled south with Luo Sigong. But what was strange was that he and Luo Sigong completely separated and came here - Qingjiangpu.

Qingjiangpu is the thoroughfare of nine provinces and a prosperous place in the world. It is the transshipment port of the canal and the storage place for grain. Every year, four to five million tons of grain go north, making this place rich. Likewise, it is also where the largest number of people gather.

The dock workers were called Caobang in later generations.

This time, almost all the state capitals in South Zhili rebelled, which was a disaster for the court. At least this year's grain supplies were gone. But for some others, this was a God-given opportunity.

For example...the White Lotus Sect.

Wei Zhongxian originally went south with Luo Sigong. He was not there to help, but to see if there were any omissions in the Jinyiwei so that he could take advantage. However, he was an eunuch after all, and he was not in very good health, so he could not compete.

Luo Sigong, who was in his prime, fell ill just after entering the territory of Huai'an Prefecture.

In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Qingjiangpu to recuperate. At that time, the area was prosperous, there were many doctors, and the cost of food and clothing was world-famous. It was a good time to go and experience it.

As an eunuch and a factory owner, Wei Zhongxian lost the power of arrest and only had the power of supervision to spy on intelligence. However, there were policies from above and countermeasures from below. This hidden secret immediately made him discover something.

The source of wealth is those gang members.

In modern terms, it is a dynamic social organization. They are at the bottom of society and engage in illegal and disciplinary activities. In the past, the dignified East Factory Superintendent would not hesitate to deal with them, but there is no choice but to do anything.

The phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken, the authority of the East Factory and the rights of the eunuchs have been completely deprived. Eunuch Wei, who has no source of gray income, really focuses on such a thing.

Moreover, these people are at the bottom of society, and any troubles cannot be hidden from them. They are very well-informed, which is very beneficial to the establishment of Dongchang intelligence network. Eunuch Wei used it confidently and boldly. Later, he revealed himself several times

The method of gathering intelligence was given to His Majesty, and His Majesty only gave him a few words of warning.

"You have to distinguish priorities. Your duty is to collect intelligence, not to make money by playing gangster. If one day you are confused, be careful about your head." The emperor's stern words are still vivid in his mind, although Wei Zhongxian is frightened.

But it also made him let go of his worries.

Banzai Ye will not object to his own methods, he just has to do his job well, not reveal his identity, and be deeply involved. In other words, it is okay to extort money, but not excessively, and not interfere with local government affairs.

It is precisely in this way that Wei Zhongxian gradually built his own intelligence network by using the contacts of the eunuchs gathered from various places, recruited desperadoes, controlled the gangs, and began his legendary career as an underground godfather.

In Qingjiangpu, there is also Dongchang's intelligence point. The more prosperous the place is, the deeper the Dongchang's tentacles are. Successive garrison eunuchs have laid a rich foundation here, and now Wei Zhongxian has taken over them one by one.

However, before Wei Zhongxian recovered from his illness and continued his journey south, his subordinate, the old man from Washington, came over to report that he had discovered traces of the White Lotus Sect, and that there were many of them. They almost came from Shandong blatantly, hiding their whereabouts at all.

It doesn't even mean anything.

As soon as he heard about the emergence of the White Lotus Sect, Wei Zhongxian became interested and buried a few nails directly through the local society, preparing to arrest him and perform meritorious deeds after he recovered from his illness.

However, within a few days after he buried the nail, the entire South Zhili rebelled. The big landowners and large business supporters who held land in various places went crazy, entangled a group of tenants, and relied on their connections in the prefectures and counties.

, directly imprisoned the county magistrate, and became the master of his own country.

The banner of unification was to overthrow the false emperor and welcome the emperor's fifth son to the throne.

Under this countercurrent, Qingjiangpu was also affected, but the people who rebelled were not tenants, but coolie workers. Logically speaking, if no one took the lead, those coolie men would not have the courage to rise up and cause trouble.

But just a few days ago, the White Lotus Sect happened to appear, and the result was completely different.

The White Lotus Sect itself has spread widely among the poor people, and the same is true here in Qingjiangpu. The various sects of the White Lotus Sect have a great influence here. Some people have joined forces to instigate it, and the ignorant coolies suddenly became restless, and directly raised the flag of rebellion and responded.

Nanjing’s call.

What surprised and delighted Wei Zhongxian was that he had planted a few nails, and because he was relatively brave and was a Lianjiazi, he actually managed to get into the core leadership level. Although he was still at the bottom, it was really impossible to pry out the information.

The question is, in this way, the rebels here have almost opened the door to Wei Zhongxian and become a transparent existence. Under this situation, how could he leave here.

"Then Sir, what should we do? Now the whole of South Zhili is rebelling. We can't do much with just a few people!" After taking pictures of the horses, the old man in colorful clothes asked doubtfully. Who can get to this level?

There are no fools among eunuchs, but under the current circumstances, there are no plots and plots, and there are only dozens of people available. He really can't figure out why he is still here.

"I have a clever plan, just prepare the manpower." Looking at the chaotic camp of the White Lotus Sect in the distance, Wei Zhongxian's chubby face showed an unpredictable smile.

Zhu Youxiao has never been shy about teaching those around him, especially Luo Sigong and Wei Zhongxian. For the two organizations Jinyiwei and Dongchang, his expectations are not limited to the domestic ones, but hope that they can go abroad and compete internationally.

To gain a foothold. In this case, carefully trained agents become very important.

The emperor talked a lot, and Wei Zhongxian also memorized it with his good talent, and also did some training and experiments. This time to deal with the White Lotus Sect, it was his experiment. So far, the results are good. These methods can be expanded in the future.
