Xia Qingqing met Li Xian's gaze and said softly, "This is information I just got recently. It is said that this information has been completely spread among the people."
Li Xian narrowed his eyes, "There is a shady hand behind this, and it has seized one of Anyang's current weaknesses. Someone, call Wu Peng over."
Wu Peng, who drove for Liu Leigang and Yin Hairui and later lured the "volunteers" in the artillery test, has now become an underground investigator in Anyang. It's just that he has never been officially appointed.
Wu Peng arrived soon after. Li Xian had already packed up and was talking to Cheng Jiming.
Seeing Wu Peng coming, Li Xian asked directly: "Wu Peng, what rumors are there in Anyang recently?"
"Reporting to the young master, there are many. Some say that the princess is secretly colluding with the eldest prince, some say that Xu Ren and Yan Ze'an are fighting to the death, and some say that the young master... is planning a rebellion. And..."
"Okay, no need to say more." Li Xian stopped him. "Wu Peng, now I grant you the position of director of the Anyang County Security Bureau. This is the first department I set up in Anyang. Your position is the same as the current general positions of various legions, and you are directly responsible to me. If I am not here, communicate directly with Xu Ren. If Xu Ren is not here either, you can consult with Yan Ze'an, Beichen Yuqing, Fang Shijing and others. Your duties are counter-espionage and counter-infiltration. All secret conspiracies against Anyang are your job tasks. The staff establishment is temporarily set at 1,000 people. You can recruit the people yourself, they can be retired soldiers, street vendors, even brothel girls, or gangsters, etc. You decide and control it yourself. Please note that your duties are only to the outside world, and you should not ask about officials at all levels in Anyang. Understand?"
Wu Peng's heart trembled, and he immediately replied: "I understand."
"Very good. Your first task is to find out the source of all the rumors. Be careful not to alert the enemy, just find out. You can ask Xu Ren or Yan Ze'an for specific solutions. Or you can wait until I come back. For the time being, I will give you three thousand taels of gold."
Wu Peng was excited but also cautious. Needless to say, he was excited, because he was going to be promoted; but Li Xian's warning was also very clear - do it externally, not internally.
After dealing with this matter, Li Xian no longer cared about it. Li Xian never took rumors to heart - these things could not be eliminated at all. If you took them too seriously, you would fall into the enemy's trap.
However, this rumor reminded Li Xian of something - newspapers! He had been so busy laying the foundation and dealing with various matters that he had forgotten some basic things. Newspapers, printing, and papermaking, I'll talk about them when I come back. In fact, because of the assistance of magic, the woodblock printing in this fairyland is also very powerful.
Compared to rumors, newspapers, etc., Li Xian paid more attention to computers. Now that he knew there was a formation master named "Xiao Yuquan", even if the hope was slim, Li Xian still wanted to give it a try! If he didn't try, there would be no chance at all!
Cheng Jiming personally piloted the aircraft and first sent Li Xian and Xia Qingqing to Dingshan Prefecture to meet Yan Zean.
