Chapter 52: Layout and Networking

Zhu Youjian probably guessed a few points, otherwise it would not be so coincidental. Shi Fuxing would have been with the Jurchens, and it happened that the Jurchens had a cannon again, but he still said, "If you want to make this million tael, you can't guess it, you need to have tangible evidence."

Dou Xiao said proudly: "Although I stayed on the mountain last night and didn't follow me, I arranged for Hu Bao and Liu Yishou to follow me, hahahaha... In this way, there were only nine million taels left."

Zhu Youjian said dissatisfiedly when he saw Dou Xiao's appearance: "Gang Master Dou actually dares to tease me, aren't you afraid that I will take you money?"

"Um", Dou Xiao immediately stopped smiling and bowed to Zhu Youjian to beg for mercy, "Mr. Zhu is a lot of people, don't be as good as villains. I dare not tease you, but I just didn't have time to say it."

Zhu Youjian thought that he had been tricked by others all day long, but someone had been tricked by others. "Oh, it turns out that the clay pot is broken by the well, and the general will inevitably die in the formation."

After sighing, Zhu Youjian turned his head and asked Dou Xiao, "Where is Hu Bao and Liu Yishouren?"

Dou Xiao said, "The body was buried last night and it was almost Yin time. After the treatment was done, I went straight to Mr. Zhu to report the news. I don't know how Hu Bao and Liu Yishou and others were following him. If it goes well, it should have returned to the gambling house at this time."

Zhu Youjian said: "Then you go back and wait first, and when you see them, let them come to me immediately."

"Then the villain will say goodbye first." Since he had the benefit of saving one million taels of debt, Dou Xiao naturally said goodbye and left with satisfaction.

After noon, the concierge came in and reported that there were two people outside asking for a meeting, claiming to be Hu Bao and Liu Yishou.

Zhu Youjian hurriedly asked the concierge to take it in.

In the study, Zhu Youjian greeted Hu Bao, Liu Yishou and the others sat down and asked, "What are the trends in the Jurchen people you are following?"

Hu Bao replied: "Reporting to the young master, we followed the group of Jurchens all the way, and it took us nearly an hour to leave Dongshan. These Jurchens were very alert. We were afraid of being discovered and dared not follow too close. It was not until dawn that the group of Jurchens entered a folk alley outside the city. When they entered a house, I dared to approach. There were far more than a few people in the house. But after hearing it for a while, I couldn't tell how many people there were. Because there were many families nearby, we were afraid of alarming each other, so we found a hidden place to monitor them from a distance. However, we didn't see anyone entering and leaving until Chen Shi, and then we came back. It seemed that these Jurchens would not leave there for a while."

After hearing Hu Bao's words, Zhu Youjian stood up and said, "You two will go out with me."

Hu Bao and Liu Yishou followed Zhu Youjian out of the mansion, and a man hurried from behind.

"Young Master, your son, let's stay for a while."

The three of them turned around. Hu Bao and Liu Yishou were also familiar with each other. It was the fighting martial artist No. 11 of the original Rooster Gang, whose original name was Yu Dachuan. After the corpses of No. 11 Yu Dachuan and No. 14 were sent to Zhu's mansion by the Rooster Gang, Zhu Youjian first arranged for someone to bury No. 14. Yu Dachuan was unconscious for a day before he woke up. He knew that his brothers could rest in peace. Zhu Youjian had visited him twice after he woke up.

If Zhu Youjian had not rescued Yu Dachuan, he would have probably had already confessed his life. With the grace of saving his life and the love of burying his brothers, Yu Dachuan was in no way unable to repay him. He just barely supported himself and kowtowed a few times. Although he didn't say anything, he made a decision in his heart and could only repay him with his life for the rest of his life.

Zhu Youjian and the other two stopped. After Yu Dachuan walked in, Zhu Youjian asked, "Your health is just a little bit, why don't you have a good rest?"

Yu Dachuan asked respectfully: "Young Master, I heard from the people in the mansion that there is news about the Jurchens today. Is it because of the Jurchens going here?"

Zhu Youjian said: "I have heard some news, but the specific situation is still unknown."

Yu Dachuan bowed and asked, "Young Master, please take me with you. I want to avenge my brother. Don't worry, Dachuan will never drag you down."

Zhu Youjian reached out and helped Yu Dachuan up and said, "I went here to track the Jurchens' journey. Their trip is not simple, and they don't have to hurry to take revenge. If you are not in good condition now, how can you take revenge? Besides, this time, the Jurchens are not only the last time. Don't be reckless but you will lose your life in vain. You go back to recuperate first. After you get well, I will take you with you in a few days. I will give you a chance to kill your enemy."

Yu Dachuan was still trying to fight for it, and Zhu Youjian waved his hand at him and said, "Go back, this time it is important. You can only be able to take revenge if you recover earlier. If the time comes, your injury has not healed yet, wouldn't you have to miss the opportunity again?" After that, Zhu Youjian said to the doorman, "Help Dachuan back to recuperate."

After saying that, he turned around and led Hu Bao and the others away. When someone had prepared the "Qingshuang" and the three of them got on the horse and headed straight for Beizhen Prefecture.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Beizhen Prefecture Office. After getting off the horse, Zhu Youjian stepped forward and said to the guard at the door: "Go and pass it quickly, Zhu Youjian will visit."

At this time, after hearing Zhu Youjian's name, Hu Bao and Liu Yishou realized the true identity of the person in front of him. He couldn't help thinking, "The leader of the gang really dares to offend anyone, but fortunately, this man just shaved a layer of skin from the Rooster Gang. If it's a big deal, he is afraid that everyone in the Rooster Gang will not end up well."

The guard at the door heard Zhu Youjian's words and knelt down and bowed: "See Your Highness, Your Highness, and your Highness, and you will go and spread it here." After that, he immediately turned around and ran to the yamen.

Soon Zhu Youjian saw Luo Sigong and the previous guards come out one by one.

"Your Highness the Prince is here, and I am in a position to welcome you. I will forgive you for your crimes." Luo Sigong came to Zhu Youjian and said loudly, then gave in slightly, reached out and led him in and said, "Criminal, please come in and please."

Zhu Youjian was not polite, and walked in with Luo Sigong.

Zhu Youjian said as he walked: "How many of the thirteenth Ghost Gate are in the capital now?"

Luo Sigong replied: "Except for money in Suzhou and Song Jing in Shandong, everyone else is in the capital. Does Your Highness need to do anything?"

Zhu Youjian said: "There is something that matters, and I will tell you in detail when you find a safe place."

After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Luo Sigong led Zhu Youjian, Hu Bao, Liu Yishou and the other three to a duty room, and then waved to the two Jinyiwei not far away, and the two trotted over.

"See the Governor."

"You two are here to guard, no one is allowed to get close to you."

"yes."

After giving the order, Luo Sigong led the three of them into the room and closed the door.

Luo Sigong reached out and pointed it out, "Your Highness, please sit down." He did not greet the other two people. In his opinion, these two people did not look like Zhu Youjian's entourage, and there were not many people in this capital who needed Luo Sigong to greet him personally, let alone these two people were not even entourages.

Zhu Youjian said politely: "Please, Lord Luo."

As gang members, Hu Bao and Liu Yishou were most afraid of the Beizhenfu Division of the Jinyiwei, which was the first to be in the Beizhenfu Division. This was the first time they entered the Beizhenfu Division. Although it was not an imperial prison, it made the two of them very restrained. Hu Bao and Liu Yishou and others stood in the lower heads and didn't even know where to place their hands.

After Zhu Youjian and the other two sat down, he took the lead and said, "Do you know that next month will be the martial arts performance evaluation in Beijing?"

Luo Sigong said: "This subordinate naturally heard about it. The Beijing Camp has been strengthened a lot today. I wonder if your highness mentioned the Beijing Camp. Is this related to the Beijing Camp?"

Zhu Youjian said: "It's a bit of a relationship, but the main thing is that it comes from a group of Jurchens. I suspect someone in the Beijing camp has stolen firearms."

Luo Sigong said: "Not only the Beijing camp, but also the Military Weapon Bureau are selling military weapons privately. However, this matter involves a lot, and even the emperor knows a little, but in the end it is gone."

Zhu Youjian was a little surprised after hearing Luo Sigong's words. Even the old emperor knew about it but didn't care. How could the army have good weapons to fight in the long run?

"The situation this time is a little different. The things sold by the Beijing camp colluded with outsiders this time were probably heavy artillery, and the sales were still from the Jurchens."

"What? Someone in the Beijing camp actually sold heavy artillery secretly? And it was sold to the Jurchens?"

Zhu Youjian said: "Yes, I learned this news by chance. What's more serious is that two heavy artillery bought by the Jurchens had hidden in Dongshan overnight. They probably had already received the news of the martial arts evaluation next month. What they were trying to do was gather at the Shenji Camp shooting range next month. They shot a few shots from Dongshan to the shooting range. At that time, the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty would be dumped by others. In this way, Liaodong would not even have to fight again."

After hearing this, Luo Sigong immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, I will take people to Dongshan to search. Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find the two heavy artillery and the Jurchens."

"Sir Luo, please be calm, sit down first, I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhu Youjian reached out and pressed his hand to signal Luo Sigong to sit down and said, "In addition to these two people, there are many people hiding outside the city. We should not alarm the snake at this time."

Luo Sigong said: "Since this is the case, I will arrange for someone to monitor first."

Zhu Youjian said: "That's right, you just need to send someone to take turns to guard the Jurchens on the East Mountain. They won't act rashly until time is time, but the Jurchens outside the city will send a few people who are good at hiding and tracking to monitor them. I think they will take action in the near future, especially if they meet someone."

Luo Sigong sat back on his chair and said, "But what if they bombard the Beijing camp in advance?"

Zhu Youjian said: "They bought artillery and transported it to Dongshan after such a great effort. They would never kill just for two guns. So I said that they should not make a big move. Just send two masters to monitor their every move. As long as they are not exposed and they are not forced to jump into the wall, they will not be in a hurry to take action. If they search the mountain on a large scale, they will probably be hard to say if they have no way out."

Luo Sigong said: "Then let Zhang Cang and Wang Benliang go to Dongshan to watch them. The Jurchens outside the city will let Qiu Fei, Xiao Yao, Meng Hui and Fan Qiong go to monitor them, and then send two small flags to hide in the nearby houses."

Zhu Youjian said: "Let Duan Yan go out of the city together to see if he can find out the people who collude with the Jurchens in the Beijing camp. It is best to collect enough evidence."

"I'll make arrangements now." After saying that, Luo Sigong got up and left the duty room.
