Chapter 229, Zhennanguan (6)
Xia Yufeng, whose courtesy name is Chonglan. The Empire was born in Liaoyang Prefecture, Youyan Province, in 977. He entered the Jiangshan Higher College of the 6th Army of the Imperial Capital at the age of 15. After graduation at the age of 18, he entered the Imperial Capital Law Enforcement Supervision Team until 999 of the Imperial Era, and was promoted to the captain of the law enforcement team of the Imperial Capital with the rank of major.
Xia Yufeng is introverted, agile, persevering in character, and fair law enforcement. She seems gentle on the surface, but her methods are extremely cruel, and she is good at tracking and interrogating.
Since the first time I saw Xia Yufeng at Ximen in the imperial capital, Lei Dongfeng has been very eye-catching. At first glance, his personality looks like Meng Zhan, but in fact he is more restrained, and he has a deep impression on the empire major.
The second time in the inn, Zhang Guangbei's second son Zhang Xicang led people to cause trouble. Xia Yufeng took action and captured these evil young men in the imperial capital. Lei Dongfeng even developed a favorable impression on him.
Until he learned that Xia Yufeng was a British marquis and later helped Lei Dongfeng and others escape from the dragon and tiger den of the imperial capital, Lei Dongfeng had already regarded Xia Yufeng as a friend he could make.
Later, Xia Yufeng took the initiative to surrender, and Lei Dongfeng was even more happy and arranged for him to be the staff officer of the army and be in charge of information with Roland. Today, the old Taoist mentioned these words again, but Lei Dongfeng was a little scheming in his heart.
In the courtyard, facing Xia Yufeng with a gentle face, Li Conglong had a ghost expression, and was like a chicken eating rice, constantly saying something.
After a moment, Xia Yufeng nodded with satisfaction and said something to Li Conglong. Li Conglong's tense body relaxed and his face became much better.
"Lei Legion, I understand. This kid is from Jiang Kaishan. He joined the vanguard army five years ago. He was assigned to Zhang Zhen's old army as personal soldiers three years ago. On the surface, he had conflicts with Jiang Kaishan, but in fact he was a nail sent by Jiang Kaishan. However, according to him, he also obeyed a mysterious organization. As for the leader of the organization, he didn't know who it was, but he had to shoulder the responsibility of monitoring the connection between Jiang Kaishan and Zhang Zhen. He did apply something to the brother who was looking for someone just now. It was something that the organization gave him specifically to give orders. The smell in the organization can smell it dozens of meters away. Different smells represent different meanings and characters. The smell just now means that things are urgent and Wang Ma needs to be eliminated. Wang Ma was killed by another spy in Zhang's legion's mansion. He also explained the contact method with Jiang Kaishan." Xia Yufeng reported.
"Who is the other person?" Zhang Yu hurriedly said.
"He doesn't know this either. They are all in a single line. He only knows that there are at least two other suspicious lines in this mansion or organizational arrangements, and he is directly managed by Jiang Kaishan on the surface." Xia Yufeng bowed and said hurriedly.
"Jiang Kaishan, it's too much!" Zhang Yu's clenched his fist and violently hit the cases in front of him, and the cases were broken into two halves with a loud bang.
"Don't get angry first, Yaowu, now you should believe what the Lei Legion said, right?" Chen Ren comforted.
"Well, Jiang Kaishan is indeed a wolf's ambition. The ancestor of the family promoted him from an ordinary soldier to the position of the army, but he was not satisfied. He also poisoned my ancestor of the family. I am incompatible with him!" Zhang Yu growled.
"There is a kind of ambition in this world that is innate and expands with the increase of status. Lord Zhang, do you know who introduced this dead Wang Ma? I think you suspected her first time, so you should know her better, right?" Li Ruoxi suddenly asked.
"Well, this girl is right. I do know her because I personally found her to help the family's ancestors." Zhang Yu nodded and admired Li Ruoxi's detailed observation.
"Well, please give Lord Zhang a detailed introduction to the situation of this king. You will deal with it like this later. Since that person has just taken action, he should not know that he has been exposed. Please block the inner courtyard immediately. Don't let the matter here be exposed. Master Lin is good at disguise. You can find one in later..." Li Ruoxi whispered.
"Okay, just do what you said!" Zhang Yu nodded.
~~~~~~~~
On July 4, 999, the southwestern provincial capital of the Empire, Zhennan Pass, an important border town in Zhennan.
In the west of Zhennanguan City, Jiang Kaishan's mansion next to the temporary camp of the vanguard army.
"So, has Chen Ren gone to see Zhang Yu?" Jiang Kaishan asked a soldier below.
Under the dim tincture lamp, Jiang Kaishan's eyebrows and eyes looked a little blurred, but his not-strong body felt particularly oppressive, which made the soldier standing beside him feel uneasy.
"Well, Zhang Ren first met Jiang Kaishan in the living room, and then took Zhang Ren to the back hall to meet the sleeping old Zhang army. Then a few ordinary-dressed people came and followed them into the back hall. At present, there was no news from the brothers in the back hall." The soldier said respectfully.
"Very good, go and get fifty gold coins. Then go back immediately and don't arouse others' suspicion." Jiang Kaishan said.
"Thank you." The man hurriedly thanked.
"I'm not a legion yet, don't call me like that." Jiang Kaishan smiled all over his face, but he was as easy-going as a rich man.
But the soldier followed Jiang Kaishan for many years. He knew that there was too much hidden behind this smile, but he did not dare to act rashly and immediately retreated.
"Zhang Family, do you really think you don't dare to touch you? Chen Ren, you don't have any news now, so why do you have the courage to support Zhang Yu's son? But Li Conglong and the others have not yet heard of the news. Has things changed?" Jiang Kaishan's smile slowly faded, looking at the corner in the darkness, and began to ponder.
"Sir, please visit this address to see if there are any suspicious people around you." Jiang Kaishan said to a figure behind him.
"Okay." The figure turned around and left.
And that address is the location of the residence of Wang Ma's house, who was hosted by Zhang Yu's mansion.
~~~~~~~~
On July 6, 999, Zhennan Pass ushered in a new day. It has been three days since Lei Dongfeng and others entered the city.
In the past three days, the city has been calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging in the dark, and many people will surely die in the future.
"Sir, Boss Zhang, who is a virtuous residence in the city, said that the wine and food you ordered are already complete." A guard walked into Jiang Kaishan's house and said...
"I understand. You go down." Jiang Kaishan shouted.
Three days ago, he had discovered that there was nothing abnormal around the house of Wang Ma, who was holding Zhang Zhen. During this period, Li Conglong also made several news, but said that the back hall of the Forward Marquis' Mansion had been blocked, and even their confidant guards were not allowed to enter.
Jiang Kaishan was getting more suspicious, and the constant urging from Annan at this moment also made him anxious.
Therefore, when Jiang Kaishan received such a secret message at this time, he immediately prepared to leave.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Kaishan and several personal guards quietly walked out of the back door of the mansion and walked towards the Juxianju Restaurant located in the northwest of Zhennanguan.
Several people arrived at the restaurant. They still entered through the back door of the back street. The staff in the restaurant seemed to ignore the people. When Jiang Kaishan arrived upstairs, one of them nodded. Then Jiang Kaishan walked into a private room, and several subordinates entered the rooms on both sides and the opposite side, vaguely protecting the room in the middle.
There were no guests in the room, just a table full of wine and food. Jiang Kaishan walked to the wall facing the door and said to himself to the wall.
"Sir, the situation is urgent, and the younger ones have to report it." A hoarse voice came from the wall.
"If you have something to say, what's wrong these days?" Jiang Kaishan said angrily.
"Sir, Zhang Zhen is awake." The voice said in a little panic.
"What? Impossible" Jiang Kaishan couldn't believe it.
"Well, I understand, you go back first, I will deal with this matter." After a moment, Jiang Kaishan might have felt that he was too wrong, and he coughed. At this moment, he had no intention of asking anything else. The news about Zhang Zhen's awakening had completely disrupted his thoughts and made him lose his mind.
"The villain took his leave." The man on the other side of the wall turned around and left.
"Sir, it's Li Conglong, no one follows him." After a moment, a guard from Jiang Kaishan came in.
"Okay, let's go back." Jiang Kaishan's face remained unchanged, but his heart was already surging.
For so many years, doctors in Zhennan Pass have been helpless about Zhang Zhen's condition. When Jiang Kaishan got the poison, the other party also told him that the drug was studied and was unknown to others. Therefore, there was no antidote, and the doctors could not notice it. But how could they find a solution today?
"Is it the mysterious people who went to Zhang's mansion?" Jiang Kaishan thought to himself.
But no matter what, since Zhang Zhen has awakened, no matter whether he is awake or not, the pattern of Zhennan Pass will change as a result. As long as he can clearly state that he is a rebellion, then at least half of his men may turn to the past. More than ten years of hard planning may turn into nothing because of a person's awakening, and the situation under control will also be reversed. All of this forces Jiang Kaishan to take action as soon as possible.
At the same time, in a courtyard next to Juxianju Restaurant, there was the Wang** house. Zhang Yu said angrily: "This thief Jiang Kaishan poisoned the ancestor of the family, and I will kill him! Come here, kill all the thieves who conveyed the message first!"
It turned out that on the day when Li Conglong seized Li Conglong, Lei Dongfeng and others controlled all the living creatures in the yard with lightning speed, and then used Li Conglong's identity to convey false information to confuse Jiang Kaishan. He also took advantage of Li Conglong's opportunity to send messages from the inner hall to attract several other spies. Except for the soldier in the outer courtyard who began to convey messages to Jiang Kaishan, the rest were controlled.
As for the soldier who said slightest words and only taught the message on weekdays, he didn't know anything. It was okay for the overall situation. Lei Dongfeng and the others kept him and continued to convey false information to confuse Jiang Kaishan.
"Since it has been confirmed that it was the poison at the foot of Jiang Kaishan, it seems that Zhuge Ting and others had already begun to plan to seize the military power of the vanguard army three years ago at the latest, and then infer that the Western coalition had already colluded with them three years ago." Lei Dongfeng pondered.
