Suddenly receiving an urgent order from Fan Wencheng, Kang Tai was a little at a loss. Such a situation had never happened before. No matter what happened, Fan Wencheng did not issue such an order in person. After being at a loss, Kang Tai calmed down knew the importance of responsibility and knew that the task must be completed, otherwise his fate would be very tragic.

Kang Tai was a Han Chinese from Liaodong. It should be said that before Su Tiancheng served as the governor of Ji Liao, the Han Chinese in Liao were very excluded and even directly classified as traitors. Not to mention that in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, even in Liaodong, it was difficult to have a foothold. The status and situation of the Han people in Liaodong were very embarrassing. On the one hand, the Manchus looked down on them and regarded them as slaves and inferior people. On the other hand, officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty did not accept them, believing that they were born to work for the Later Jin Tartars. It was in this case that in order to survive, many Han people in Liaodong defected to the Later Jin Tartars and became an important part of the Later Jin intelligence network. As Kang Tai knew, many Han people in Liaodong provided intelligence directly or indirectly for the Later Jin.

Under such a position, the Liaodong Han people should have been sad, but the oppression of the environment has changed the view of many people. Surviving has become the greatest wish of many people. They are engaged in intelligence spying, and gradually they go from being forced to taking the initiative to willingness. Anyway, they can obtain gold, silver and treasures. In addition, the discrimination of the Ming officials has made many Liaodong Han people feel no sense of dependence, and it is also safe to spying on intelligence.

After receiving the order, Kang Tai thought and planned carefully. The relationship between him and Tang Haitai was indeed very good, but Tang Haitai's greed and uncontrollable also made Kang Tai a little annoyed. Several times Kang Tai thought of reminding people not to be too high-profile, so-called wealth is not exposed. Always like this, it will cause others to doubt, but Tang Haitai doesn't care. The reason for investing in the store is still a waste of money.

Kang Tai was not completely worried about Tang Haitai. He was mainly considering himself. Tang Haitai was so high-profile, and if he was exposed, he would be completely finished. It was not necessary to think about what the consequences would be if he was caught by the government. It was precisely because of this consideration that Kang Tai reported to Fan Wencheng. After getting permission, he warned Tang Haitai without hesitation and warned Tang Haitai. Pay attention when spending money and don’t be noticed by outsiders. Especially his colleagues in the Governor’s Office, although he said that there was an excuse, Tang Haitai agreed on the surface, but his approach did not change much, which made Kang Tai very angry. He originally wanted to teach Tang Haitai a lesson. Unexpectedly, Fan Wencheng’s order came, changed his previous decision, and his meaning was very clear, allowing Tang Haitai to do things.

This time, Fan Wencheng arranged personnel to bring 5,000 taels of gold. All of these golds were used to spy on intelligence, mainly Tang Haitai. Fan Wencheng ordered people to send so much gold, so he must have thought about spying on important intelligence.

Kang Tai also knew about the news that the Ming Dynasty prepared to launch a attack on the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the information was provided by Tang Haitai. After a long time, Tang Haitai became much casual in front of him. When drinking, eating, or even shopping in brothels, some words were unknowingly said. It was precisely because of this situation that Kang Tai became increasingly worried that the intelligence work was very hidden and he should pay attention to it at all times. It was sooner or later that Tang Haitai, a playboy-like character, was exposed.

Kang Tai is not a fool when he has been working in Ningyuan City for a long time and is engaged in intelligence spying. He vaguely feels a possibility, that is, Fan Wencheng's attitude has changed. What he needs is intelligence, not people. Once Fan Wencheng obtains the needed information, he and Tang Haitai are likely to be finished.

The above orders are not dared to be violated, but Kang Tai will not sit still and wait for death. He first hid three thousand taels of gold and the remaining two thousand taels of gold to squander Tang Haitai. At the same time, he must pay close attention to the situation. Once something unexpected happens, he will immediately escape from Ningyuan City and save his life.

Tang Haitai entered the shop and went straight to the backyard.

Kang Tai was waiting, with one hundred taels of gold placed on the table.

Seeing the 100 taels of gold on the table, Tang Haitai smiled on his face. Since joining the intelligence network of Houjin, Tang Haitai's life has been much nourished. The initial self-blame and worry slowly disappeared without a trace. The enjoyment of fine wine and food, and the flowers, snow and moon can destroy everything.

Tang Haitai was not polite and reached out to get the gold on the table.

Kang Tai stretched out his hand and pinched Tang Haitai's arm.

"Wait, I have something to say."

"What's there to say? Isn't it just that I need information? As long as I provide all the affairs of the governor's office, what else can I do? Don't talk about other information, but I also want me to inquire. I don't have that ability."

The contempt expression on Kang Tai's face flashed.

"Tang Haitai, you also know that the Ming Dynasty is about to launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict has been so long, but the attack has not been launched for a long time. What is the specific situation? The above needs to know that I still have a lot of gold here. As long as you can provide information on this, it will all belong to you."

A smile appeared on Tang Haitai's face.

"Okay, how much gold is there."

"Don't ask about this, anyway, there are a lot of them. The key is whether the information can be obtained."

"How do I know? Anyway, I provide all the things that the governor's yamen has. As for whether there is any information you need, I don't know. At worst, I can pay more attention during this period."

Kang Tai was a little angry. In fact, if you analyze such a big thing a little, you will know that as an outsider, you can have a certain analysis. Tang Haitai, as an official in the governor's yamen, did not have a simple analysis. He is really a playboy.

"Tang Haitai, you will know this situation after a little analysis. Think about it, if the Ming army wants to launch an attack, it must have been from Liaodong. The dispatch of a large army in Liaodong is directly responsible for the Governor's yamen. It is not a very difficult thing to know about this information. As long as the officials in the Governor's yamen are busy and there are too many orders to convey, it means there is a problem."

Tang Haitai restrained his smile and looked at Kang Tai.

"You don't need to remind me of these situations. I naturally know them. No matter what changes occur, I will provide information truthfully. Analysis is your business and it has nothing to do with me. But after you talk about this, I also have requirements. Since I need to know such important information, my price will be different."

"Tell me, how much money do you need."

"At least 10,000 taels of silver are needed. If the court really fights with the Later Jin Dynasty, I have to find a way to avoid it. This official cannot be done, at least I need to leave Liaodong..."

What Tang Haitai said later? Kang Tai was unintentionally listening. Tang Haitai was thinking of retreating and preparing to return, so he would not report to the superiors. This involves his own interests. If he reported honestly, Fan Wencheng would probably send more people to Ningyuan immediately to monitor Tang Haitai and his every move. At that time, he would think about escaping, and there was no possibility.

After Tang Haitai finished his request, Kangtai spoke without hesitation.

"There is no problem with the money. If you dig out all your expenses, I can give you 10,000 taels of silver. But you also need to know that this is something I worked hard to fight for from the higher authorities. Maybe the shop will pay the money. If you cannot obtain information on this, no matter where you go, we will find you."

Tang Haitai went to find Kangtai and had been closely monitored. In order to be able to grasp all aspects of the situation well, Qu Qingze specially arranged personnel and opened a grocery store opposite Kangtai's fur shop. The owner of the grocery store was the secret line arranged by Qu Qingze, and his relationship with Kangtai was very good.

Qu Qingze naturally issued an order, requiring the secret line to closely monitor Kang Tai and Tang Haitai's every move, and not let go of the details. No matter what happens, they must report it. Of course, Liaodong is far away from Dengzhou, so it is impossible to report these situations directly to Qu Qingze, mainly to Liaodong Governor Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng's greatest contribution is that he successfully installed a guy in Kangtai's store. This guy looks very honest and honest. Although this guy has never participated in Kangtai's core affairs, all matters of big and small are highly paid attention to, including the time, number of times, etc. of Tang Haitai's visit to the store, etc., which are all very clear.

With two arrangements, all the whereabouts of Kangtai and Tang Haitai were investigated clearly.

Two days ago, Lu Xiangsheng got information. A large amount of gold was suddenly added to Kangtai's store, which is said to be used to purchase grain and leather. In the autumn harvest season, the store participates in purchasing grain and earns some money. This is normal, but Lu Xiangsheng thinks that this is not normal. Kangtai's fur shop has never purchased grain and has no time and energy to purchase grain. Leather is sent by a special person. The main purpose of the leather shop is to collect information and how can it be done in any business? Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng sensitively noticed that it was probably the Later Jin side, and he was a little anxious and needed to obtain information.

Lu Xiangsheng quickly made arrangements to increase surveillance of Tang Haitai and Kangtai.

Of course, all these things did not require much energy to be spent by Lu Xiangsheng. He focused on the conquest. According to Su Tiancheng's arrangement, Qu Qingze had secretly arrived in Ningyuan, focusing on the matter of confusing the Later Jin Tartars. Qu Qingze stayed in the backyard of the governor's yamen, and Lu Xiangsheng set out a separate yard that no one could get close to.
