Mei Shuyu didn't use Mei Shuyan to wait another two days, and on that night, he brought one hundred thousand soldiers to Zhaoyuan County.
He did not rashly lead troops into Zhaoyuan County, but entrusted Duke Zhu to take care of them in the mountains outside the city. county seat.
After he entered the city, he ordered the hidden guards to inquire about the news.
Not long after, the secret guard came back from an inquiry and reported that a caravan had entered the county magistrate's office, and the leader of the caravan was an unmarried woman. During the thorough investigation, Mrs. Mei damaged the delicate cloth of the family. He went to the county magistrate's office, and he went to the post station to avoid suspicion.
Mei Shuyu was immediately happy when he heard that, his eldest brother is naturally smart, don't look at him with a deceptive face, but his mind is not sweet potatoes, there are indeed some calculations and things in his stomach.
Such a method of dragging and blocking people is really something he can do in a serious manner.
"Go, go to the station to find him." Mei Shuyu said, and went to the station.
Mei Shuyan was busy all day, thinking about the worst plan, the window opened silently, a gust of wind came in, he immediately drew out his sword, and when he saw it was Mei Shuyu, he immediately put away the sword, surprised , "Second brother, why are you here?"
If it weren't for Mei Shuyu's foolish look, the look in his eyes was something he was used to seeing since he was a child, and he really suspected that he was fake.
"Brother is really vigilant." Mei Shuyu came up to Mei Shuyan, looked him up and down, and made fun of him, "Brother, you can do it, this way of dragging people is really special."
Mei Shuyan glared at him, "Isn't there anything I can do?" After saying that, he frowned, "Why are you here? You can leave Jingzhong."
"Okay, An Shuli asked me to come. He said that Ye Lanying was smart and cunning. He was afraid that even if someone else came to catch her, she would try to escape on the way to Beijing. Keep an eye on her. Let her spread her wings and escape."
Mei Shuyan nodded, since An Shuli asked Mei Shuyu to come, naturally he is the most suitable.
So, he hurriedly told Mei Shuyu about Ye Lanying's customs clearance today, and he still doubts that those cloths are really cloths, the twenty carts are all cloths, and there is no crossbow arrows wrapped in cloths as His Royal Highness said.
"Could it be that the news was leaked and she replaced it before she came to Zhaoyuan County?" Mei Shuyan guessed.
Mei Shuyu also found it strange. He thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. He said to Mei Shuyan, "The news about the prince's cousin is true, and it is impossible to make mistakes. You have been cautious. It shouldn't be you who leaked the news. Presumably Ye Lan Ying is cunning, such a smart and cunning person must know that as long as you are in Zhaoyuan County for one day, you will strictly investigate the caravan for one day. Don't forget, why Lingnan Palace sent people to kill you earlier, it was not because of you After checking the caravan and files, they found out that even though it was hidden, the Lingnan Palace found out. Now, Ye Lanying must have thought of a way to avoid your sight."
Mei Shuyan nodded, "I really can't think of what she thought of. That's why I can't catch her."
Mei Shuyu immediately said, "The so-called catching thieves and filth, no matter what method she uses, just send someone to watch closely."
"Keep an eye on her for fear of being noticed by her. This woman has martial arts, and it doesn't seem too bad." Mei Shuyan said, "No wonder she dares to walk alone in the rivers and lakes."
Mei Shuyu narrowed her eyes, and suddenly came up with a plan, and said to Mei Shuyan, "Brother, is the next city leading to Lingnan a hundred miles away from here?"
"Exactly, it's called Luwan City." Mei Shuyan looked at Mei Shuyu, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Mei Shuyu said, "I led the soldiers to Luwan City, and then intercepted her at the gate of Luwan City. If I expected it to be correct, she probably used some method to build plank roads from Zhaoyuan County, and to secretly hide Chencang, so that those Crossbow arrows smuggled across Zhaoyuan County, but this method of smuggling cannot be used all the time. After all, it is troublesome to call twenty cars. Otherwise, there are so many checkpoints along the way, can it be used? I think she is only using it in Zhaoyuan County. Because you are the one who sits in Zhaoyuan County, even if you don’t have the order of the prince’s cousin, you will still investigate strictly, and she is not afraid of other places.”
"Well, that's a good idea." Mei Shuyan didn't have any other good ideas, "You're right, if you don't catch her to make and smuggle weapons, it's the crime of beheading the nine clans." , Just relying on a false identity is not enough to deal with her, and naturally it cannot involve the filth of the Lingnan Palace, so it is not enough to stand up."
"Okay, if you agree, I'll go right away. With the badge of the prince's cousin, the county guard of Luwan City dare not give me face or cooperate, otherwise I will treat him as an accomplice and take him down." Mei Shuyan There are 100,000 soldiers and horses, and when Lu Zhiling returned to Beijing, he was in charge of a million soldiers, so he spoke with confidence and momentum.
This imposing manner and murderous aura were obtained from experience on the real battlefield, which Mei Shuyan didn't have.
Only now did Mei Shuyan feel that his younger brother had grown up and was extraordinary. He nodded, "Okay, you go ahead and be careful. I won't do anything here, as long as I let her go in two days, she must be relaxed, thinking that she has fooled me, and everything will be fine. The city is waiting for her."
"That's exactly the reason." Mei Shuyu was gearing up, looking forward to fighting Ye Lanying. In his opinion, he didn't treat this woman as a woman, but as an opponent.
At that moment, the two brothers decided on a plan, Mei Shuyu went out of the city, and discussed with Zhu Gong, Zhu Gong also felt that Mei Shuyu's plan was feasible, so the two went to Luwan City in advance with 100,000 troops Sitting on the sidelines.
Mei Shuyan's heart was finally at ease, and she had a peaceful sleep.
Two days later, Ye Lanying took people to eat, drink and sleep in the county magistrate's office. Every day, besides finishing her official duties, Ye Lanying stared at her cloth valuation and compensation seriously. While she was speechless, I also feel that this man also has thousands of shapes, and this Mei Shuyan, is he a bookworm who is stupid in reading
won't work around
She suspected earlier that he knew something, but now she saw that he was a muscle.
So, two days later, when the valuation and compensation for the damage to the twenty carts of cloth were calculated, Mei Shuyan simply handed over the money to Ye Lanying, "Miss, it's a good journey, and I think it's safe."
Ye Lanying looked at him and smiled, "Your Excellency, you must train your subordinates well, and don't be too rude when you do a thorough investigation. Next time I will pass through Zhaoyuan County, I don't want to bother your lord by living for nothing. "
"Don't worry, girl, I will train you well." Mei Shuyan cupped her hands.
Ye Lanying lowered the curtain of the car, ordered to set off, and twenty carts of cloth and soup left Zhaoyuan County.
Mei Shuyan watched Ye Lanying's motorcade leave, turned around and went back to the government office, pretending nothing happened, and continued to deal with official business.
After half an hour, the master saw that Mei Shuyan was busy, and quietly left the study.
As soon as he left and closed the door of the study, Mei Shuyan's face sank. It turned out that the inner ghost was really him, the very trustworthy person brought out from home and made him his master.
This man is the son of Mei Mansion, the whole family sold themselves to Mei Mansion, he is quite talented, when he was eleven years old, his grandfather transferred him to his side. He has been studying with him all the time, and later he came to Zhaoyuan County to take up a post, and he followed him as a teacher.
All the documents and files have to go through his hands, how much he trusts him, I really didn't expect it
Hidden really deep.
In order to find out the ghost, he didn't even dare to trust his own guard to let him deliver the letter easily.
Mei Shuyan took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the door, opened the door silently, looked out, and saw that the master was whispering something to a servant, and then the servant turned and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Mei Shuyan softly called out to her hidden guard, "Mo Zhu."
"My lord." Mo Zhu appeared in response.
"Follow that boy named Huizi and see what he's going to do." Mei Shuyan ordered in a low voice, "If there is a wire connected to him, follow along the wire, be careful, so that no one will notice. "
"Yes." Mo Zhu went in response.
Mo Zhu is the secret guard chosen by Mr. Mei to be by his side since childhood. Last time he went back to Beijing for the funeral, he was afraid that the dossier would be tampered with, so he didn't bring him back to Beijing, but left him in Zhaoyuan County to look after the dossier. He wouldn't let him almost lose his life.
Now that the inner ghost is found out to be the master, he can naturally use him with confidence.
Mo Zhu followed the young man all the way out of the county magistrate's office, and went to the door of a family in an unremarkable alley. The young man looked around, but found no one following him, so he knocked on the door with confidence.
An old woman opened the door from the inside and looked at the boy, "You are"
"The villain is here to pass on a message to tell your master that your lord has no suspicions. After she left, he went back to his room to handle business. Just let your master rest assured."
The old woman nodded, said "Thank you", and closed the courtyard door.
When Mo Zhu saw the young man returning to the county magistrate's office, he quietly jumped into the courtyard.
