In addition, with the assistance of the officials of the commander-in-chief, Bai Yijie reorganized the Jinghu anti-espionage system, included Shi Wenhu and other local patriotic heroes, and reorganized the confidentiality system of each army.

The Mongolian spy leader Hulang, who was ambushing the Jinghu area, once said in his report to the Khan: "Since April, the searches of the Southern Dynasties have suddenly turned to meticulous. We have been arrested by the Southern Dynasties one after another, and we can hardly carry out effective actions. The reason should be that the Deputy Chief of the Jing-English Department has reformed the method of detailed investigation and detailed operations, and there must be powerful figures in the process of operating the whole thing."

Although April and May of the Jing-E Dutong Department were busy, they were not lacking in joy. On May 2, the Chief Executive Officer Bai Yijie and Wei Zugui, the eldest daughter of Wei Zugui, who was named the commander of the Poche militia, achieved a wedding.

All the generals and staff of the Jing-E General Office were present to congratulate him, and even the commander Zhao Kui sent someone to send gifts. On the one hand, Zhao Kui took care of Zheng Dutong's face, and on the other hand, he deliberately accepted Wei Zugui, a famous general in the north. From the standpoint of the commander office, his enthusiasm for using the loyal and righteous army and horses in the north has never diminished.

The wedding was very lively, and the only thing that seemed a little uninteresting was Zheng Yunming, the deputy governor of Jinge. When Bai Yijie was dragged by a group of young people to persuade people to drink, Zheng Yunming just drank glass after glass, as if these happiness were far away, so far that even if he was on the spot, he would not be able to integrate into it.

Bai Yijie took all this into consideration.

After three rounds of wine and everyone was a little drunk, Bai Yijie quietly pulled Zheng Yunming to an inconspicuous corner at the banquet.

"Today is a great day for Mr. Bai to pass the imperial examination. Why is the governor unhappy?"

Zheng Yunming was also drunk at this time. He patted Bai Yijie on the shoulder and said, "What does the military advisor say? It is really a beautiful thing that can achieve this marriage with the Wei family. When I was in the capital, the teacher told us many stories about giving a country with a family. At that time, I argued that having a country with a family is just a joke by the emperor. A real man must understand the mission of protecting the family and then understand the meaning of defending the country. If the eight policies we discussed in the thatched cottage before was nothing but scholarly spirits and talked in vain, then after today, for the Wei family and your future descendants, you must do your best to turn the eight policies into a certain measure. To defend this country, not for me, nor for the emperor, but for the happiness of your sons and grandsons, and your descendants thousands of years later."

Bai Yijie was moved, but he would not be the one who expressed his feelings on the spot. He just said lightly: "Even so, I hope our governor can start a family and start a business as soon as possible, so that he can keep peace of mind when guarding Xiangyang."

Zheng Yunming glared and shook his head, saying, "I can't do it if you do that."

"It's too late." Bai Yijie said with a stern face: "The family affairs of the governor are related to the command of the entire Jing and E army. I have had a meeting with Lu, Ge, Deputy General Wang, Yang, and General Ma and Senator Liu. In order to calm your heart, I must use this method to deal with the affairs of the governor of Chengdu and the Lai family."

He whispered in Zheng Yunming's ear: "At this time, Lai Wengong is probably already in prison. If the governor quickly goes to Changsha Prefecture for rescue, it would be too late. If he delays the road for a little time, he is afraid that Lai Gong's life will be lost."

Zheng Yunming stood up with a whistle, stamped his feet and cursed: "Public assistant mislead me! Public assistant mislead me!" He said that, and rushed out of the court in a hurry.

Only a group of inexplicably surprised guests and Bai Yijie who was smiling with a white feather fan were left.

Lai Wengong, a famous hero on Jinghu South Road, the famous Hemingzhuang East Lord, was sitting upright in the dark and humid prison in Changsha Prefecture. After April, the climate in Jingnan had turned hot. Mosquitoes and flies flies flying around in the dirty prison, and rats appeared. Lai Wengong did not feel anything unbearable. The conditions here were many times better than when he was drinking wind and dew in Dengzhou, Tangzhou and Xinyang, and when he leaned on his head to sleep on his enemy's body.

The bulky wooden door creaked and pushed open, and the guard of the cell held a dim oil lamp to lead a man who looked like an official down the steps.

This is the Changsha Tongshen. Since Lai Wengong was arrested, the Tongshen has been personally tried. It is no wonder that with Lai Wengong's reputation on Jingnan Road, if he is confirmed that he really colluded with the north, there will be huge shocks in the entire Jingnan. The masters of the Mansion who have had contact with Lai Wengong on weekdays are afraid of being involved. In order to keep the black veil above the masters, they have to hold everything in this case firmly in their hands.

The judge ordered the guard to open the prison and brought Lai Wengong out.

"Now that people and physical evidence are present, the three parties of the Ministry, the Constitutional Taiwan and the Pacification Envoy Department will be held to hear the case. Are you still unwilling to admit it?"

Lai Wengong raised his eyelids, and his power was still there in his messy hair and beard. He said coldly: "What have you ever done before, admit something!"

The judge frowned and shouted, "Don't think that the prefect's yamen has no way to deal with you just because you are Lai Wengong. Even if you are Lai Weng, the yamen can still use a great punishment!"

Lai Wengong sneered: "When I was digging four holes in Siping Bridge by the Jinzhe with an iron cone gun, I never thought of surrendering. Just a few sets of torture instruments were like making Lai bow his head, which would have made some tricks."

The judge's face darkened, but he did not dare to really order Lai Wengong to punish Lai Wengong. What Jingnan knew was that Lai Wengong had an extraordinary relationship with some of the big figures in Lin'an. He offended him at this time, and he didn't know who would disturb the nerves in the capital in the future.

He snorted, turned around and left the cell.

When the magistrate left, an elderly guard quietly said to Lai Wengong: "Who in Jingnan doesn't know that Mr. Lai was wronged. What letters do you want to send to Lin'an? Everyone is willing to help deliver them."

Lai Wengong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Even if Lai wants to lose his head this time, he will not mess with Lin'an's boyfriend."

As he said that, he slowly closed his eyes again.

It was already dusk, and the pedestrians on the official road west of Changsha City were already very sparse. The soldiers at the Changsha Post Station outside the city were yawning lazily, and began to clean up the flag-top tables and stools outside the post. At this moment, a small smoke suddenly rose from the distance. After a moment, everyone could see clearly that more than ten fast horses were riding towards Changsha City.

The small team of knights came to the front of the post station, scattered stirrups and took off their horses. The soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. In the dark sky, they saw clearly that the leader of the visitor was a scholar with a casual sword, but then they also saw the soldiers who were serving the scholar who respected him. How could such a person be looked down upon? He immediately led the way and gave everyone to the hall to rest.

When he brought the list to everyone to register, he realized that it was Zheng Yunming, the young general of Jinghu who had become famous recently.

"Can the prefect of Changsha be in the county?" Zheng Yunming asked, "I need to meet the palace immediately if I have something to do."

The official secretary said in embarrassment: "At this time, the Lord of the Mansion has long stopped handling official business..."

Liu Jin, who stood behind Zheng Yunming, brows raised and shouted, "Does the governor have to make a special time when they come to visit the palace?" He was an anxious temper developed by the border. Because the generals in the border often had to deal with emergency military affairs, they would meet the generals and military soldiers who came to report even in the middle of the night. But this is the mainland, and the habits of bureaucrats are completely different from those in the border. Here, they handle official duties in accordance with the rules and live a peaceful life is the most important matter.

Zheng Yunming waved his hand to stop Liu Ji's attack and said to the Yicheng: "I will go to visit the prefect tomorrow."

The postmaster wiped the sweat from his head and hurriedly called on the soldiers to treat these arrogant soldiers from the front.

After eating and drinking, all the personal soldiers were sleeping soundly in their room. Zheng Yunming felt uneasy when he had something to do, so he slowly walked out of the room and walked along the corridor to the front hall.

At this time, the upper hall had been closed, and only the side hall where the lower officials and officials were still lit, and a group of people were sitting around in front of the lights and talking casually.

Zheng Yunming quietly walked to the crowd under the darkening night, found a bench and sat down, and listened carefully. Everyone was talking about nothing else, but Lai Wengong, who had been in a turbulent situation in Jingnan recently, committed the crime.

While soaking his feet in a hot water basin, a soldier was enthusiastically telling the whole story of the case.

Ten days ago, the Imperial Army Weapons sent someone to send a secret recipe to the Changsha Prefecture military Weapons. It is said that it is the recipe for refined gunpowder from the emperor presented by Zheng Yunming, a new general in Jinghu. According to this new gunpowder production method, granular black gunpowder with dozens of times more powerful than the old powder gunpowder can be prepared. It is called the most confidential weapon information of the Song Dynasty. With the gunpowder formula, four armed envoys from the Imperial Army, they strictly monitored the gunpowder formula. Except for the necessary few craftsmen who could see the recipe and manufacturing method, even the prefect could not approach this recipe casually.

Usually, the recipe is strictly kept in an iron box, which has a self-destructing mechanism. Once someone wants to force the box to open the box, the recipe and book will be destroyed. To open the box, four keys are required, each with two envoys, the prefect of Changsha and the leader of the local craftsman. Only after all the four keys are all equipped can the iron box be opened and taken out the recipe and bookmaking, and then start to make gunpowder according to the steps.

Logically speaking, such a method of alert can be said to be foolproof.

But five days ago, when everyone opened the iron box again, they found that the secret gunpowder formula of Tianzi No. 1 disappeared!
