After handing over the military talisman with Zhizhou, Chu Qing wanted to leave, but failed because people sent by the Secret Investigation Department arrived. There were three people. It seems that there are not many people in the Secret Investigation Department, Chu Qing thought.

These three people are similar to Zhang Mingyu. They are all of medium height and look very thin. However, the aura they exude is very different from Zhang Mingyu.

Zhang Mingyu gave people the impression that he was a quiet farmer. But among these three people, Chu Qing always felt a faint sense of murderous intent. It seemed that these were not three people, but three sharp blades, which could attack without thinking at any time.

The three people showed their waistbands to Song Tingshan. Their waistbands seemed to be made of iron, black, non-reflective, with the word "secret" on one side and an unknown pattern on the other. They didn't express anything to Zhang Mingyu, in other words

In other words, these three people seemed to be arrogant. Except for showing basic respect for Song Tingshan, they ignored everything else. They only showed their waistbands, did not state their names, and then handed over a letter.

The content of the letter is the Secret Investigation Department's investigation report against Cao Wang.

Cao Wang was stationed in Daxuan from the Dong Lun Kingdom twenty years ago. At that time, he forged his identity and sneaked into the military camp. He was promoted by Hong Liang because of his bravery and strategy. And because of the turmoil before the death of the late emperor, Cao Wang followed Hong Liang.

He removed obstacles for the current emperor, quelled the civil strife in a short period of time, gained the emperor's attention, and was subsequently promoted.

Although the civil strife subsided, the harassment from the Donglun and Vos Kingdoms did not stop. Therefore, the emperor appointed him as the deputy commander-in-chief and accompanied Hong Liang to guard the border.

The exposure of his identity forced Cao Wang to launch a military coup in advance, aiming to split the garrison and cause rebellion. He wanted to cooperate with internal and external forces in the Donglun Kingdom and attack the capital. After twenty years of accumulation in the army, Cao Wang had already won over 30% of the troops.

Many officers obeyed his orders. Now if you can get the soldier talisman, you can control most of the army.

Bai Hua and Zhang Mingyu are members of the Intelligence Agency. Different from their intelligence spy duties, today these three are members of the Operations Agency of the Secret Investigation Department. Their main duties are assassination and sabotage.

A characteristic of the Secret Reconnaissance Division is that each department is pretentious. This is because each department believes that it is the most important link in a mission. They don't like each other. The commander of the Secret Reconnaissance Division feels this way.

He is quite satisfied. He believes that only through competition can he be motivated, make progress, and complete tasks better.

Chu Qing doesn't know all this, and she doesn't want to know. What she feels now is that these three people are not easy to get along with. Since you all work for the Secret Investigation Department, and you are so arrogant, how can you cooperate when the mission comes? Since they are not self-confident

When he told me his name, Chu Qing gave him a nickname out of spite.

In fact, the appearance of these three people is really unremarkable, and it is really difficult to distinguish them among the crowd. But Chu Qing can still distinguish them.

Look at the one who handed over letters to Song Tingshan. He should be the leader among them. His chin was slightly pointier, so Chu Qing named him "Brother Zhuizi". The one in the middle was a little shorter than the other two, so Chu Qing named him "Brother Zhuizi".

"Brother Almost". The third person remained silent and motionless from beginning to end. He didn't even blink. Chu Qing named him "Brother Mu Mu". Who told you to be so stubborn? If you don't sign up, then you will be treated as unworthy.

Has a name!

Song Tingshan invited everyone to sit down, and a servant served tea. The tea was hot but not hot, just right in the mouth. Chu Qing took a sip, and then refilled the tea for herself. Then she discovered that Song Tingshan only held the tea cup to moisten his lips, while the others, including Zhang Mingyu

, no one drank. This...

Chu Qing felt that she was not cautious enough.

"Does the Secret Investigation Department have a plan?" Song Tingshan asked.

"Not at all." Brother Zhuizi replied. The superiors just asked them to cooperate. The rescue of Hong Liang was not something that the Secret Reconnaissance Department could fully implement. That would involve confronting the army.

"I have obtained the military talisman." Song Tingshan began to explain the plan.

"I will immediately deploy troops to besiege the General Military Mansion. You guys need to enter in advance to protect Mr. Hong and his family."

"My lord, have you decided which troops to call?" Brother Zhuizi reminded.

"Just transfer troops directly from the Second Battalion. They are the closest." Song Tingshan replied.

"Since it has been so recently, I am afraid that the second battalion has been controlled by Cao Wang." Brother Zhuizi objected.

The Secret Reconnaissance Department attached great importance to this rescue operation. There was no other reason. After the new emperor ascended the throne, in order to eliminate civil unrest, it was Hong Liang who suggested that the emperor establish the Secret Reconnaissance Department.

The emperor needed an internal intelligence organization that was directly responsible for him. Hu Hengqiu, commander of the Secret Investigation Department, was very grateful to Hong Liang.

At that time, Hu Hengqiu was just a lieutenant in the Ministry of Punishment, responsible for some old cases, especially those before and after the death of the former emperor. Hu Hengqiu was very good at collecting and analyzing evidence in cases. He was summoned by the new emperor by chance and gave him a report.

The emperor left a very good impression.

Because Hong Liang's proposal was accepted, the new emperor established the Secret Investigation Department and put it in charge of Hu Hengqiu. Hu Hengqiu was suddenly promoted from a fifth-rank minister to a fourth-rank doctor. This was a qualitative leap, not to mention being promoted to the first rank.

It takes at least three years to pass the assessment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs; just saying that this is two consecutive promotions, and it is directly under the emperor's management, no need to look at the faces of ministers, ministers and others. This alone is enough to make him feel grateful.

.

What's more, it's not that easy to get promoted. Even if he has reached the age and qualifications, he can't get into the sight of the Ministry of Personnel Examiners without a strong backing or introducer. And he is basically a powerless landowner family. He can reach this level.

The position of Minister of Medicine has already been burnt with high incense and good luck has come.

It is said that opportunities always come to those who are prepared, and Hu Hengqiu was prepared, but how could an opportunity come so easily? Hong Liang's proposal was a big opportunity! Therefore, Hu Hengqiu's gratitude to Hong Liang was like a torrent. And because of this

, Hu Hengqiu’s request for Hong Liang’s rescue operation this time is: cooperate fully to rescue Mr. Hong.

Therefore, no matter how high-minded Brother Zhuizi is, he must consider everything carefully.

"This..." Song Tingshan hesitated, this was indeed a problem.

"Sir, General Ma Shen of Kushui Town is Lord Hong's nephew. The two of them have a very good relationship." Brother Zhuizi is worthy of being from the Secret Investigation Department. No one would know that General Ma Shen is Lord Hong's nephew unless he mentions it.

"Oh? It's feasible! Kushui Town is less than 40 miles away. If we march in a hurry, we'll be there in an hour." Song Tingshan made the decision.

After setting the time for action, Song Tingshan arranged for everyone to rest in the back hall, and then he personally took the military symbols and followers and rushed to Kushui Town.

The guards took them to a place to rest. Chu Qing was only familiar with Zhang Mingyu, so he followed Zhang Mingyu all the time. The three of them stayed together and ignored Chu and Qing. When it was lunch time, they didn't even eat together. Chu Qing

I’m very confused, are these people from the same department? I’ve never seen such a relationship between colleagues!

Chu Qing didn't pay attention to these strange people. For the convenience of movement, the five of them rested in the door room.

Chu Qing leaned against the wall and lay on the bench, closing his eyes and sleeping, as if he was taking the train without buying a ticket. Zhang Mingyu reminded him that it was not the case, and it was not the case if he did not remind him. The three people glanced sideways here, and each

Sit on a bench and rest.

Chu Qing kept Xiaobao in mind and closed her eyes for a while before falling asleep. She felt like she hadn't slept for a while when she heard movement in the house. When she opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside, it was almost three o'clock. The three people were changing clothes.

Everyone took out a set of black clothes from their respective robes and put them on.

The legendary night clothes? Is it necessary? The agreed time is after dinner, which is about six o'clock now. At that time, it is not completely dark and the lights on the street are lit. If you wear such dark clothes, don't you think it's better?

garish?

But those three people, especially Brother Zhuizi, glanced at Chu Qing and Zhang Mingyu with great contempt. Their expressions on their originally expressionless faces were now very expressive, that is: Are you from the Secret Investigation Department? Unprofessional.

!

The two of them did not prepare any other clothes. They only wore what they were wearing. Chu Qing lowered his head and looked at himself and felt that it was necessary to dress up. After all, he had been to the General Military Mansion in the morning.

So Chu Qing untied her hair, pulled it all over her head with her hands, tied it into a bun, and inserted a wooden hairpin into her hair to fix it. In this way, she seemed to be almost like a man, just with less buns.

Wrapped in a small square handkerchief.

Then Chu Qing took off his coat, turned the wrong side over and put it on again. After the clothes got old, the color on the front faded and became lighter, but the inside was dark. Look, now the clothes are dark gray.

Moreover, there are no inner pockets sewn into the arms of this dress, so you won’t be able to tell that it is worn inside out unless you look carefully.

Zhang Mingyu was stunned. First he was surprised by how Chu Qing, a woman, could take off her clothes in public, and then he found that Chu Qing's method of transformation was effective! So Zhang Mingyu followed suit and also turned his clothes inside out.

The three were also fascinated. At first, they disdained being with women, and they couldn't stand the fact that the Intelligence Agency actually brought in a woman. Later, they found out that Chu Qing actually slept against the wall in public. This was simply unseemly and ridiculous.
