De'an County is a small county under Jiujiang Prefecture. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with Poyang Lake in the southeast. Most of the territory is low hills and hills. There is not much land to cultivate, so it is not very rich here. The low county walls have almost no defense.

There were no famous figures in De'an even in history. Although Yang Shiqi was famous, his ancestral home was Ji'an, so strictly speaking, it was not from De'an. However, in later generations, De'an produced a famous figure, that is, Mr. Yuan Longping, who was known as the "father of hybrid rice".

He Qiong disguised himself as a fortune teller, carrying a "iron-mouthed" banner in his hand, and stepped into De'an County. He was the chief banner of the Jinyiwei, but this time he was sent to De'an to investigate the situation.

Of course, He Qiong could not act alone. In fact, in these few days, the group of people under his command also put on makeup and became people from all walks of life, and sneaked into the city without knowing it.

He Qiong carried his own banner and walked around the streets and alleys of De'an for a few times. Elementary Uniform Guards like him already have a lot of experience in putting on makeup. For example, a fortune teller wandering around is not easy to attract other people's attention.

Finally, He Qiong came to the city god temple in the county town. When talking about the city god temple, we have to mention Emperor Taizu. It is said that Emperor Taizu highly praised the city god, so after ascending the throne, he was enthroned by the city god. Each city has its own city god, and the city god is also divided into grades. For example, the city god in the county town is lower than the city god in the prefecture, and the city god is the highest in the capital city god.

In addition, when officials took office, they had to go to the local city god to worship first. It is said that the city god supervised local officials so that they would not commit crimes. Some officials were even subjected to skinning by Lao Zhu when they were corrupt. They would also put human skins in the City God Temple to shock the young people.

It is precisely because of the City God Temple that the City God Temple in every city is well built. Generally, there is an open space in front of the City God Temple, which attracts many vendors. Over time, some places even formed the City God Temple Fair, and it continued until later generations.

He Qiong came to the city god temple with a banner, then found an open space to set up the banner, took out a small stool from his backpack, spread a white cloth and placed it in front of him. This is considered to be open. If someone wants to tell fortunes, he will naturally come forward to ask. As for whether he can fool the other party, it depends on the fortune teller's eloquence.

Although He Qiong's fortune teller is pretending, he is always away and is very familiar with all kinds of people. He has also mastered a good eloquence. So when a customer comes to the door, he can also fool the other party. After one or two hours, he actually earned several new treasures.

It was almost noon, another customer dressed as a businessman came to He Qiong to tell fortunes, but in fact, He Qiong had long recognized that the other party was his subordinate Xiaoqi Shigui. The other party entered the city two days earlier than him in order to find out the news in the city.

"How is it? Did you find any abnormality?" He Qiong took Shi Gui's hand and pretended to look at the palm, but asked in a low voice.

"It's indeed something unusual, especially near Yang Shiqi's home, there were many people secretly surveillance!" Shi Gui replied in a low voice.

"Someone monitored!" He Qiong was also shocked when he heard this. Their visit to De'an this time was mainly to investigate matters related to Yang Shiqi, especially at Yang Shiqi's home, but he didn't expect that he had found such a news just after he came to De'an City.

"Can you find out who the people who are surveillance are?" He Qiong asked again after being surprised. Although the superior did not give him the exact task requirements, he wanted to investigate the matter as clearly as possible. After all, this matter was personally ordered by the prince consort. If it is done, his position may be able to move in the future.

"It's hard to check. Those people are very secretive. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to find it. And some of them pretend to be around and are very familiar with the situation around them. They probably have been monitoring the Yang family for a long time." Shi Gui replied again.

"Damn it, the temple is so beautiful that it is so beautiful. There is actually someone who specializes in monitoring a family in De'an County!" He Qiong couldn't help but curse in a low voice when he heard this.

"Boss, there are also our people in the county town. Why don't you ask them directly? They must know more than us outsiders, right?" Shi Gui suddenly asked again.

"The superiors can no longer trust these local people. Even after this incident, no matter whether they are involved or not, they will probably have to be replaced!" Shi Gui replied immediately.

Jinyi's minions are spread all over the country. Even a small county like De'an will have a base for Jinyiwei, and they are all open. Generally, if Jinyiwei wants to investigate the situation in a certain place, they will contact the local Jinyiwei and ask them to provide information.

But this time the Jinyiwei sent He Qiong and the others to De'an. Even before He Qiong came, his boss specifically told him not to contact the local Jinyiwei, so He Qiong immediately guessed that the local Jinyiwei might no longer trust him.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. The Jinyiwei was responsible for supervising the world, but the Jinyiwei of De'an knew nothing about what was under his nose.

Especially Yang Shiqi is one of the people who are the Jinyiwei who are paying attention to, so his family must also be paid attention to by Jinyiwei. However, the local Jinyiwei did not notice that someone was monitoring Yang Shiqi's family. There are only two possible situations. The first is that the local Jinyiwei was bribed, so he turned a blind eye to those who were surveillance. The other is that the local Jinyiwei was seriously dereliction of duty.

In either case, the local Jinyiwei in De'an will be punished according to the crime in the future, so He Qiong had long ordered his subordinates to strictly prohibit them from contacting the local Jinyiwei. Everything needs to be done secretly. Even his general flag must be made up and fortune teller before entering the city.

"Boss, what should we do now? Those who monitor the Yang family have mysterious origins and are very strict in their organization. We dare not be too close to the Yang family. In this case, it is probably difficult to find out the origins of these people than to reach the sky!" Shi Gui said again.

He Qiong also showed a thoughtful look when he heard this. After a while, he spoke: "It is better to monitor the situation for a few more days to see the situation. If the identities of those monitors can be found, there is no way to find out if they can't find out. Then I will report to the superiors. After all, this matter has exceeded our ability, so it is better to let the superiors handle it!"

"Boss wise, I think so too!" Shi Gui immediately agreed and gave He Qiong a flattery. After all, those who do their jobs are clear. In some cases, you must not act recklessly. You must speak up when you need help, otherwise you will suffer.
