Kou Ji looked at Cao Tong and said calmly: "Rebellion? They dare not for the time being, but they want to make the officials feel the pain, so naturally they have to choose a word and make a move."
Cao Tong asked, "What do they want to do with Yizijiaozipu?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Don't ask, and I won't say. Anyway, you can just watch it. When things happen, you will naturally know."
Cao Yu was anxious, "But as the person in charge of Yizijiaozipu, how can I be indifferent when I see Yizijiaozipu want to move."
Kou Ji glanced at Cao Tong and said, "As the official owner of Yizijiaozipu, he can watch others toss Yizijiaozipu. You are just a shopkeeper. What anxious."
Cao Tong opened his mouth unwillingly.
But nothing was said.
As Kou Ji said, Yizijiaozipu is Zhao Zhen's property, and Zhao Zhen is not in a hurry, he is anxious.
Zhao Zhen watched as others tossed the word Jiao Zi Pu, even if he broke his head in a hurry, it was useless.
Seeing Cao Tong's preoccupied appearance, Kou Ji reminded: "Don't worry too much. Since the officials and I have received the news in advance, we will naturally make some preparations.
Yizijiaozipu will not lose much. "
Cao Yu let out a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "I've just been bored in Yizijiaozipu for a few months. Why do I feel like years have passed outside? I don't understand."
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "If you don't understand, watch it slowly. There is always time to understand."
Cao Yu nodded helplessly, and this can only be the case now.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen were unwilling to tell him the truth, obviously they were unwilling to let him intervene, and it would be useless for him to ask further.
Cao Yu accompanied Kou Ji and chatted for a long time in Kou's Mansion. It was not until night fell that he quietly left the Kou's Mansion and went back to Cao's Mansion.
After Cao Tong returned to the mansion, he found Cao Wei and his father, and handed over the family affairs of Cao Mansion on the grounds of assuming the position of Yizijiaozipu.
Cao Wei and his father knew the weight of Yizijiaozipu, and naturally agreed to Cao Tong's request.
Cao Yu bid farewell to Cao Wei and his father. After returning to his room, he cut off his sleeves and sent someone to Pan Su overnight.
Pan House.
Pan Su, Shi Yuansun and others were seated separately, plotting something, just when they were talking about a critical juncture.
A servant hurriedly appeared beside Pan Su with a broken sleeve, said a few words in a low voice, and delivered the broken sleeve to Pan Su's hand.
After Pan Su got the broken sleeve, his heart was mixed.
Under the gaze of Shi Yuansun and others, Pan Su threw the broken sleeve in his hand on the table in front of a few people, and sighed, "Cao Wei sent it here."
Shi Yuansun gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Tong is cutting off his robe with you?"
Pan Su sighed and said, "We shouldn't count Cao Yu. If we tell him, Cao Yu will probably help us. Now that Cao Yu knows that we are calculating him, it has been completely separated from us.
We would like to ask Cao Tong for help in the future, but it will be difficult. "
"Humph!"
Shi Yuansun snorted coldly, and said, "Cao Yi and Kou Ji have a nest of snakes and rats. The officials have dealt with us cruelly this time, and they must have been making bad ideas behind their backs.
If we can have today, it is very likely that there will be Cao Tu's credit in it.
We are calculating Cao Tong, and 80% of Cao Tong is also calculating us.
Cao Yu had spent several months at Yizijiaozipu, collecting so many evidences of our crimes, but he didn't show any signs of it.
Now that the officials wanted to deal with Wuxun, he came out again.
The official must have sent him out to listen to the news from our mouths.
We didn't give him any news, but wanted to calculate him.
He knew that it was not our opponent, so he retreated when he faced difficulties.
As the leader of our martial arts, the Cao family refused to stand up to help when our martial arts were in distress. This is ironclad evidence.
The Cao family must have taken refuge in the official family secretly and obtained the promise of the official family. That's why they refused to help us, but even harmed us. "
Pan Su frowned and said: "This is just your guess, and there is no evidence. Cao Tu's decision does not represent the Cao family. The Cao family is a great help to us, so we can't give up the Cao family."
Shi Yuansun said coldly: "Then you go to visit the person in charge of the Cao family tomorrow to see if he will see you. If he sees you and promises to help us, it means that the Cao family is still with us.
If he refuses to help us, it means that my guess is not wrong. "
Pan Su stared at Shi Yuansun and said, "Will you say that is too extreme?"
Shi Yuansun said angrily: "The Gao family has fallen. Although the court granted the Gao family the title again afterwards, all members of the Gao family in the court and in the army have been eliminated.
Today's Gao family has nothing but a bunch of empty heads and a bunch of useless money.
Those names and money can be given to the Gao family at will, and he can take them back at will.
Gao Jia, now is the fish on the pallet, he can do whatever he wants.
Isn't the Gao family's fate enough to alert you
He made many excuses and played many tricks, just to get rid of us martial arts.
He just wanted to put all of us to death with that hypocritical face.
If we don't resist, if we don't resist fiercely, there will only be a dead end. "
Pan Su frowned and said: "We didn't say we didn't resist, aren't we thinking about countermeasures? It's just that we haven't reached the worst situation yet, so we shouldn't be too excited.
What we are plotting now involves the lives of all of us, and we must be cautious, and then cautious. "
Shi Yuansun sneered: "Thinking about it? Be cautious? Is it useful? Gao Chu Gong was just like you at the time, and finally ended up in death."
When Pan Su heard this, his brow furrowed even tighter.
Shi Yuansun said coldly: "I have written to the people in the Shi family who are hiding in various places, and they will do it soon. If he wants to dig our meat, we will drink his blood first."
Pan Su stared at Shi Yuansun, "Wait..."
Shi Yuansun gritted his teeth and said: "I can't wait any longer."
Pan Su said solemnly: "Once this matter is done, we have no retreat. At that time, we can only fight him to the end. You have been reminding us with the Gao family, so have you ever thought about the Fu family
It was because the Fu family did not withstand the pressure from Emperor Taizong that they rebelled, and finally the clan was destroyed.
Are we going to follow in the footsteps of the Fu family
Although the power of the Gao family was gone, Gao Chu Gong died, but the others in the Gao family were still alive. "
As soon as Pan Su said this, other people spoke out, expressing their agreement with Pan Su's idea.
If you don't have a last resort, you must not take the initiative to jump out to oppose the court.
Under the advice of Pan Su and others, Shi Yuansun reluctantly said: "For three days, I can wait three more days at most. We in Shifu can only wait three days."
Pan Su sighed and didn't say much.
In fact.
They can't wait for three days.
Because that night, Zhang Zhibai, who was responsible for investigating and punishing the previous years of military pay, handed a batch of lists to Zhao Zhen.
After Zhao Zhen transcribed some of the names into another document, he checked out their names, and then gave the document Zhang Zhibai handed over to Chen Lin, asked Chen Lin to send it to Kou Ji, and asked Kou Ji to follow the list. people.
Chen Lin left the palace overnight and sent the list to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji strode into Bianjing early in the morning and arrived at the Privy Council.
He wrote down several documents and sent them to the military camp outside the city, the Kaifeng Mansion, and the Criminal Department.
Subsequently.
The three parties cooperated with Japanese soldiers, officials from the Kaifeng government, and officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to start arresting people.
They rushed into the mansion of some Wuxun, and took all the old and young of those Wuxun's families to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
That night.
Pan Su and several people got together again.
Pan Su said solemnly: "Three Wuxun who were attached to my Pan Mansion were arrested."
Shi Yuansun gritted his teeth and said: "There are six under my Shifumen, and one of them is from my Shi family."
"There are three under my sect..."
"Five..."
"One… "
"..."
After they had finished speaking, Shi Yuansun stared at Pan Su angrily, "Did you see? He didn't care about our face when he arrested us, and he didn't even call us into the palace to appease one or two."
Speaking of catching, catching, catching is still a government.
I sent someone to the Criminal Ministry to ask someone.
Do you know what the Criminal Ministry told me
The Ministry of Criminal Justice told me that Zhang Zhibai, the undead man, had already investigated and dealt with evidence of their embezzlement of military wages from the accounts of the past years.
They have one calculation and one, all with conclusive evidence.
They will be cut off by Qiuhou, and their families will be exiled by the whole family. "
Pan Su and the others frowned tightly, without speaking.
Shi Yuansun continued to roar: "How much are they greedy? They are less than one percent or one thousandth of ours. They will be beheaded and their families will be exiled. If we are caught, then they will be the Yi tribe. .
Chai Zongqing was only greedy for two to four hundred thousand pens.
We took more than Chai Zongqing. "
Pan Su and others still did not speak.
Shi Yuansun said angrily: "If we don't resist, he will catch us."
Pan Su closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Then let the people below move."
Shi Yuansun put away his anger and snorted coldly: "It should have been this way. If we did it early, our people would not be arrested. Now they are not only arrested, but also questioned. cut.
Nowadays, people in Bianjing City have begun to talk, saying that we can't keep our people. "
Pan Su opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The civil servants in the courtroom have been impeaching us recently. I am afraid that he has also got his advice. We should be careful to avoid overturning the boat in the gutter."
"..."
No words for a night.
The next day.
In the early morning, several riders left Bianjing quietly.
All the men straddling on their horses were all powerful soldiers, one by one with superb riding skills. After leaving the Bianjing City, they quickly disappeared in front of the people with a ride on Juechen.
Upstairs in the outer city gate.
Kou Ji watched Qi Juechen leave, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and whispered, "The official invited me to see the scenery. Is this Qi Juechen what I saw?"
Zhao Zhen sat opposite Kou Ji, smiled and nodded, and said, "What do you think of the scenery I asked you to see?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "It's amazing..."
Zhao Zhen laughed.
Kou Ji smiled and asked, "Are they going to do it?"
Zhao Zhen suppressed the smile on his face, and said, "Yes, they are going to do it. They are really good. If you don't do it, they will pierce into my heart when they do it."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "No matter how ruthless they are, they can't compare with the official methods."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "What means do I have... I just spent a lot of money to train a group of people to help me to listen to news."
Kou Ji continued to smile and said: "How long has Wu Desi been established, he has cultivated so many secret agents, and can accurately help officials detect any information they want. I am afraid that the price the officials will spend on them is not small."
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "I just gave out some money. Chen Lin and Wu Desi's officials picked the people together, and they were trained by them. The equipment supervisor has now been merged into the Wu Desi Division, and there are also some in the Imperial City Division. The few people were transferred to Wu Desi."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, but said nothing.
Zhao Zhen's words are simple, but Kou Ji has heard many secrets.
Zhao Zhen re-established the Wu Desi, and dispatched all the elites from the Equipment Supervisor and the Imperial City Division to the Wu Desi. Some of the people who were secretly cultivated, the number of Wu Desi's secret agents, I am afraid that has long surpassed the previous Imperial City Division. The news they can detect and hear is probably more accurate than the previous Imperial City Division. Wu Desi has become the first secret agent of the Song Dynasty.
The current Wu Desi is only helping Zhao Zhen to listen to some useful news.
In the future, Wu Desi, I am afraid that he can do much to help Zhao Zhen.
Kou Ji didn't want to discuss Wu Desi's problem with Zhao Zhen. He smiled at Zhao Zhen and said: "Since they have already made moves, then our monarchs and ministers must be prepared to deal with it.
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly.
The monarch and the minister did not stay in the city gate for long, and each hid their whereabouts and left the city gate.
After Kou Ji returned to the house, he immediately got into the study and wrote down a few long letters.
After sealing the letter, I was going to send someone out quickly, but after thinking about it, he burned the letter, and then sent someone to call in his personal guard.
After the personal guards arrived, Kou Ji summoned each of them individually and gave a few words in a low voice.
Then several people left Kou Ji's study, but did not leave the Kou Mansion Courtyard.
After Kou Ji finished ordering the personal guards, he sat alone in the study and let out a long sigh.
Zhao Zhen's speed in developing spy agents is a bit outrageous.
It has only been a short period of one and a half years since Wu Desi was founded.
Bianjing City has no secrets about Zhao Zhen.
After a few more years of development, I am afraid that there will be few things under the hood that Zhao Zhen can hide.
Zhao Zhen has now passed the spy and has repeatedly obtained some important information, and now he has tasted the sweetness of spying information.
Kou Ji can be sure that Zhao Zhen will never stop expanding the spy.
Because few people who have tasted the sweetness of spying on intelligence can stop them.
Kou Ji did not intend to prevent this.
Because before Wu Desi was restored to power, Da Song Intelligence Network could be said to have been in a state of paralysis.
The Imperial City Secretary is called a spy agency, but he didn't do many things that the spy agency should do.
Most of the time, the Imperial City Division was helping the emperor with some chores, dirty work, and spying on intelligence, which turned out to be less important tasks.
This also led to the fact that after many things happened, the imperial court only realized it later.
For example, the Liao people appeared in the northwest before.
If the Song Dynasty had a complete intelligence network, it would definitely not be possible for the Liao people to learn after they touched Linzhou City.
If Da Song had a complete intelligence network, I am afraid that when the Liao people appeared in Xixia, Da Song would already know all the news.
Due to the imperfect intelligence network, Da Song did not suffer less.
For example, during the reign of the first emperor, the Zongge monk Li Lizun led an invasion of 30,000 Tubo coalition forces.
At that time, there were only a few thousand people in the hands of Cao Wei who was stationed on the border of Tubo.
Cao Wei wrote to the court for help.
The first emperor did not believe Cao Wei's words, thinking that Cao Wei was afraid, so he ridiculed Cao Wei a few words.
Not only did the first emperor not send reinforcements, he also wanted to change Cao Wei's posture.
Finally, I was persuaded.
Cao Wei did not ask for reinforcements, and in the end he could only fight against the Tubo 30,000 coalition forces with a few thousand troops.
Fortunately, Cao Wei won the battle, not only defeating the strong with the weak, but also chasing the enemy for thousands of miles and seizing a large number of cattle and sheep.
This battle is one of Cao Wei's fame battles, the Battle of Sandu Valley.
See the big in the small.
From this small experience of Cao Wei, it is not difficult to see how terrible Da Song's intelligence network is.
If the Song Dynasty had a complete intelligence network, I am afraid that before Zongge Seng Li Lizun led his troops to Sandu Valley, the Song Dynasty court had already received the news that Zongge Seng Li Lizun had dispatched troops and intended to commit a crime.
Before Cao Wei asked for help, I'm afraid the soldiers and horses who went to support were already on the way.
Cao Wei won in Sandu Valley, so the terrible nature of the lack of intelligence is not seen.
What if Cao Wei loses
The enemy is still not fucking
I am afraid that only after the three or two states have been taken, the court will be able to respond in a realistic manner.
Therefore, it is necessary for Da Song to have a complete intelligence network.
Kou Ji does not oppose Zhao Zhen's spying agency.
It's just that Zhao Zhen currently uses most of the spies on Manchu civil and military bodies, which Kou Ji thinks shouldn't be.
However, considering that he and Zhao Zhen would innovate in the future, they mainly aimed at the Manchu civil and military, and needed the information spied by spies, so Kou Ji did not point out Zhao Zhen's mistakes.
Secret agents can be engaged, but they cannot rely too much on them or rely too much on them.
It is easy for the court to develop into a morbid aspect.
What Kou Ji had to do now was to wipe out some inappropriate things that he still left in Song Dynasty while Zhao Zhen's spy had not spread all over the world.
If Zhao Zhen's spy had developed to Leizhou, he would know what he did in Leizhou, and he would know that Cao was still alive.
When the monarch and the minister met again, it became extremely embarrassing.
When the time comes, whether the monarch and the minister can get along happily, it's hard to say.
Kou Ji wanted to write a letter to explain the matter, but considering that the letter might leave evidence, he chose to let the personal guards take a trip in person to pass the order on his behalf.
Kou Ji's personal guards are all people who have followed Kou Ji through life and death, and they are also the trilogy of Kou Mansion.
If they couldn't believe it, no one could believe it that day.
Several personal guards ordered by Kou Ji stayed in the mansion for several days.
With the excuse of protecting the caravan from the Kou Mansion, they rushed in all directions and left the city of Bianjing.
The place they are going may not be the direction they took when they left the city, but they will eventually reach the place they want to go through a different path.
Kou Ji did this very secretly, and no one found out.
Because the Kou Mansion controls the production of most fabrics in the world, caravans leave every day, and caravans come back every day. Three or two people are mixed in incognito. It is difficult to find their faults without catching them. Place.
And so far, no one in Kou's caravan dared to stop.
Just after Kou Ji's personal guard left Bianjing City.
Several horses entered Bianjing City one after another, sending bad news one after another into Bianjing City.
The bad news has just entered the palace.
Zhao Zhen sent people to summon Kou Ji, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng into the palace.
Zhang Zhibai was still investigating where his military payments went, so he was not disturbed.
The three of Kou Ji entered the palace, and when they arrived at the Shishitang, they saw Zhao Zhen's gloomy face.
After the three people gave the salute, Zhao Zhen instructed Chen Lin: "Hand over the papers that I sent in just now to the three Aiqings."
Chen Lin took the paperwork and sent it to Lu Yijian's trio.
The three of them had taken the paperwork, and after reading them carefully, the expressions on their faces were different.
While Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng looked solemn, they showed such expressions as expected.
Kou Ji was angry.
Seeing Kou Ji's expression of anger, Lv Yijian said indifferently: "Private Kou seems surprised?"
Kou Ji said angrily: "Damn the thief, he's crazy."
Wang Zeng curled his lips and said, "You shouldn't be surprised..."
The implication was to tell Kou Ji not to act anymore.
It is you and the officials who are provoking the incident, and you will encounter resistance, and you two will not know it.
The official family is playing, we can't dismantle it.
But you kid is acting here, who is it for
Kou Ji still looked angry as if he hadn't heard Wang Zeng's words.
After the three of Lu Yijian finished reading the documents, Zhao Zhen said angrily: "South of Jiangning Mansion, including Jiangning Mansion, the eight Yizijiaozi shops were looted and the shops were burned. It was really frantic.
Yizijiaozipu, that is my property, the property of the court.
Jiangning Mansion and other places are rich and prosperous. The local people have little wealth. The annual savings of the eight Jiaozi shops is almost comparable to that of the two Jiaozi shops in Bianjing.
Now that the culprits are burned and robbed of money, the local people will inevitably panic.
If this causes a popular uprising, I am afraid it will be difficult to end.
These thieves are stealing money, and they are clearly messing up my country.
If I am troubled by Song Jiangshan, I should go through a thousand cuts. "
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng hesitated for a while after Zhao Zhen roared.
Wang Zeng groaned: "I'm afraid there is something hidden behind this matter. The officials need to send someone to verify it."
The implication is that the robbery of the word Jiaozipu is not a simple robbery of the word Jiaozipu, but more of a demonstration.
Yizijiaozipu was guarded by soldiers and horses, and they robbed eight Yizijiaozipu in one breath, which is not something ordinary people can do.
