Chapter 106: Resume

"Does Xiling think there is no one in my east?" Tan Xiaopei hugged Tan Weixin's head lovingly and said a little angrily: "I want Xiling to know that this method...hehe, this method will make me angry."

Among the kings of the four Central Plains, Tan Xiaopei is the only one who rarely calls himself "I", but every time he calls himself "I" means that he is really angry.

When he received a report from Nie Rui, the imperial guards had temporarily taken over the defense from the city guards and closed the four doors.

Since the troops in other areas of Dongping have not been arranged in place on the front line of Xunshan Pass, a large number of troops are still stranded there. Currently, the imperial guards who are left in Danyang are only more than 40,000. According to the rules of the imperial guards, one-third is always on duty, one-third staying in camp for training, and one-third resting on holidays.

Tan Xiaopei sent all the imperial guards who stayed in the camp to join the city to investigate suspicious people. The imperial guards who were out for holidays were recalled, and the necessary guards to guard the camp after reassembling, and the rest of the soldiers will be sent to perform their mission immediately.

As for the city guards, half of them climbed the city to defend against accidents, while the other half was organized into several search teams to start searching the areas around Danyang.

But what is more effective is that the family where the officers of the Blood Qi Army were located launched meticulous searches on all aspects of Danyang almost at the same time. When they learned that in the plan that the Xiling Ancient Spy had almost succeeded, Chi Yun, who was with Ye Tao, Tan Weixin and others, was almost affected, Chi Xianping was furious. In the process of organizing clan soldiers to rescue the Blood Qi Army, all major families had already realized the role of the Blood Qi Army in uniting the various major families in the government and the opposition, and what the continuous achievements of the Blood Qi Army meant to each family. Everyone reached an agreement in private to fully support the Blood Qi Army. This threat made everyone a little angry.

The City Guards and the Imperial Guards may not have the ability to help almost all restaurants and hostels in Danyang. All brothels, all people of all walks of life and all walks of life are willing to help, but the great families have such energy when they unite. A large number of well-informed people provide various details, and only the servants of various families, clan soldiers and martial arts masters with good relations with various families can gather so much manpower and material resources to check one by one.

Lao Feng had no chance to leave Danyang at all. As the foreman responsible for the construction of the top floor, he was very suspicious and the investigation of him was underway from the beginning. Two hours later, Lao Feng, who had nowhere to hide, was arrested.

There are also a large number of Xilingdi Assassins and Death Soldiers who have been arrested one after another. To maintain such a group of people, they must keep their emotions relatively "normal" at any time. After all, except for a small number of paranoids, most people still cherish their lives very much. To keep these people in normal moods, they spend a lot of money on daily expenses, entertainment, food, and drinking. All these expenses, all these strange-minded people, are the easiest to track down by infiltrating all walks of life and all aspects.

Before dinner time was yet, in the prison of the Imperial Guard Command Post, the name Sun Xiaofan surfaced under the torture of some experts with unique hobbies in Da'an.

"Sun Xiaofan?" Why is the name so familiar? As he silently recited this name, Zeng Man's impression appeared in his heart. Yes, he was a little old. It is impossible for him to know every report they are qualified to read, and every name that appears in it, just like those newly emerging young people in the field of intelligence. He raised his eyes and looked at the assistants around him, and soon the assistant found a thin page from the vast amount of information.

That was the situation collected by FedEx in Xiling when it was conducting a high-risk smuggling and delivery business. The content was roughly a young man named Sun Xiaofan. He learned in Suoshi Town that a wealthy family bullied the villagers and saw injustice. He rushed into the home of the rich family at night, wiped out the rich family and scattered all the valuable things from the rich family on the street. Although the local government was chasing him, it was basically confirmed that Sun Xiaofan did it, and sent a large number of people to control Sun.

Xiaofan surrounded the arrests, and finally, Sun Xiaofan was imprisoned without resisting. However, the situation later changed. Sun Xiaofan was actually a disciple of the Sect Master of Daoming, who was traveling around the world to train. Daomingzong had a high status in Xiling. The power of Daomingzong was in the Xiling dynasty and the countryside had a great influence on Xiling. This matter was left unresolved. Two months later, Sun Xiaofan transformed into a small official of the Ministry of Personnel.

It should be this person. Judging from his name, resume, and the qualifications of Xiling's dark spy who were in charge of Danyang, there would probably be no second Sun Xiaofan. So Zeng Man reported this situation.

"Daomingzong..." Tan Xiaopei sighed. The world was changing too quickly. Back then, when he was fighting at the border, he also met a master of Daomingzong. After a bloody battle, his subordinates almost died and killed that guy. From then on, Daomingzong left a deep impression on him. Times have changed, and now he is the lord of a country, but Daomingzong has become a force that can almost dominate the government of Xiling. In the Xiling court, two ministers openly claimed that they were members of Daomingzong and secretly turned to Daomingzong. Some regulations involving the people's livelihood have not been implemented at all if they had no great influence among the people of Xiling, and had extremely high credibility and appeal.

If such a scene happened in Dongping, Tan Xiaopei would have to sleep and eat, and would have to come up with ways to weaken Daomingzong, control Daomingzong, or simply get rid of Daomingzong. However, the king of Xiling controlled the world's most powerful country, but he relied on Daomingzong to solve his problems. Those ministers who saw the trouble were either suppressed and unable to express their intentions directly, or simply excluded Xiling's power center.

If Emperor Daomingzong's ambition was only to control the Xiling Dynasty, then Tan Xiaopei would not care. The more chaotic Xiling was, the more it would meet the expectations of his wise ruler with great ambitions for the unification of the world. But Emperor Daomingzong was an expansionary organization with strong erosion and expansion, and the tentacles of the Daomingzong had quietly explored into Dongping, and it had caused considerable damage.

"Call Cha Ziming, and let Zeng Man and Dou Anqi come too. Let Chunnan envoy Tao Ze meet immediately." Tan Xiaopei did not avoid it and was gathering together to comfort Tan Weixin. After discovering that Tan Weixin was in a good mood, a series of orders were issued.

Now, the first family in Dongping has actually been completely captured by Ye Tao's sugar-coated cannonballs. Even the ritual vessels used for royal sacrifices are now supervised by the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites, and are under construction by Ye's Workshop. In addition to the throne of the king that has been passed down for hundreds of years and the set of tables and chairs in the imperial study, almost all the furniture of all levels of the Ye's Workshop is produced by Ye's Workshop. Even the pen holders, document boxes, classified file cabinets, pen boxes, etc. used in normal use are all produced by Ye's Workshop.

Two months ago, the new windproof lamp produced by Ye's Workshop made a comprehensive list of palace lighting. The Inner Mansion Construction Department is discussing with Ye's Workshop on improving the comprehensive project of daylight and night lighting in the Political Consultative Hall. Ye Tao is afraid that the responsibility is too great and he is not very brave to take over. However, in terms of integrated lighting, in this era, the one who can make such a large space light up in an economically reasonable way is probably no one except him.

As for the boiler and bathing equipment that is in full swing in Danyang, how could the palace fall behind those big families? A total of six sets of the highest-end boiler equipment are installed in the entire palace. The coal burning consumption per day exceeds 2,000 kilograms.

Let's not mention these projects that you don't think too much if you don't think about them. Just look at the tabletop games of the first family in Dongping, you can see how deep the "invasion" of Ye's workshop is. Prince Tan Weiming and Prince Tan Weiran are both marching chess, especially those who are masters of grand strategy gameplay. Now, even Queen Zhuo Xiu is fascinated by the game called chess.

The chess in Ye’s workshop is not a replica of Chinese chess, but a local version of chess. It is not because Ye Tao has any prejudice against Chinese chess, but just because Ye Tao thinks that the production of Chinese chess pieces is boring, and it is not as good as the revision of chess versions that allow him to "show off his skills". It has to be admitted that the chess pieces carved from ivory and black crystal are so loveable. The chess board is built with obsidian and white marble. The chess bell that has installed the first generation of earthquake resistance system will be placed.

The space of the chess piece and board is integrated. The exquisite and concise chess tables are so cute. Even the two "game soft chairs" specially made by Ye Tao that can make him feel comfortable when he puts them on, they become an indispensable part of Dongping's first family's daily life. Tan Xiaopei is not dissatisfied with the ability to make the family live happily, but when he thinks that all these are from Ye Tao, they are all made by Ye Tao, and he feels upset.

Finally, the few people that Tan Xiaopei summoned came. He ordered: "Let Tao Ze go to Fengxian Palace. I will arrive."

Tao Ze was the second permanent envoy to replace Luo Pingdi Chunnan in Dongping. Now, the relationship between the state is still at a very simple level. In addition to those who temporarily dispatched full-minded envoys to handle important affairs, such permanent envoys are already very advanced diplomatic means. As for the division into different levels, it is probably not known how many years will be seen.

Unlike Luo Ping, Tao Ze's family background is much deeper, without being enterprising or deliberately making achievements as a promotion rank. When Tao Ze deals with many court officials in Dongping, he is much more likable than Luo Ping before. He is more like a playboy from Chunnan who lives in Danyang, playing whatever he should play. Occasionally complains that Danyang's food, drink and entertainment are far away from Yuhang, and even goes from Yuhang to summon cooks from home, making indelible contributions to the exchanges between the catering industries of the two countries...

When the atmosphere in Danyang was quite tense, he was suddenly summoned by Tan Xiaopei, and Tao Ze did not understand what it was for. After greeting Tan Xiaopei, he became silent and respectfully waited for Tan Xiaopei's orders.

Tan Xiaopei smiled faintly and said, "I came to you for a few things. First of all, it is a good thing. Concubine Lian is already pregnant with my child, you should have known this, right?"

Tao Ze hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty. This is a good thing for both of us." While sending out a bunch of flattery according to the convention, Tao Ze became even more confused. He knew that Tan Xiaopei would never be able to call him for this matter at this critical moment.

"Yes. This is of course a great thing. When Concubine Lian was born, both men and women, they will be granted according to my Dongping practice. But... there is one thing that needs to be informed to Chunnan."

"Please give me instructions," Tao Ze bowed.

"In order to ensure that the child in Concubine Lian's womb can be born safely, I will replace the female servant of Concubine Lian's side, Mrs. Han Qi and Han." Tan Xiaopei said lightly.

"Mrs. Han has been widowed for many years, has a dignified character and a gentle and virtuous personality. But is there anything he disobeying Your Majesty?" Tao Ze was a little hesitant. From Princess Bailian married Tan Xiaopei to become Concubine Lian, Tan Xiaopei has always been very generous in the arrangements for the people around Concubine Lian. Even if there are any arrangements for transfer, Chunnan will know in advance. In fact, even if he wants to replace him, he can be considered as Concubine Lian's closest female official, and Mrs. Han, there is no need to let anyone know in advance.

Tan Xiaopei shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you don't know yet. Mrs. Han is now a detailed work by Emperor Daomingzong?"

At the moment of shock, Tan Xiaopei ordered: "Cha Ziming, commander of the Xuan Imperial Army, Dou Anqi, Minister of Rites, and Zeng Man, deacon of the inner palace."

After the three of them came in to meet, Tan Xiaopei said, "Zeng Man, tell me what's going on. Let everyone understand."

"Yes." Then, Zeng Man began to talk about a series of things that have been recently investigated. In this battle against Xilingdi, due to the obvious leak of intelligence, Zeng Man was led by Zeng Man to investigate a series of possible situations. During the investigation, a very strange situation was discovered: a deputy general of the Imperial Army who knew the specific situation had an affair with Mrs. Han. Zeng Man investigated the deputy general, and even asked the Ministry of War to transfer the deputy general away from the Imperial Army commander Cha Ziming's vision, and then secretly interrogated the deputy general, and the deputy general confessed to the leak of intelligence. Although this kind of incident of being blown by the pillow wind was not intentional, it was also indecent. What made Zeng Man even more curious was that Mrs. Han, who was only a little bit old in his thirties, actually had a elusive arrangement of time and place when he had an affair with the deputy general, and did not let anyone know about it.

.This is not something that ordinary people can do. As for how Mrs. Han sent out information and why she had an affair with Xiling, it is another question that is puzzled. Zeng Man sent people to conduct a background investigation on Mrs. Han's situation in Chunnan Kingdom, and sent experienced subordinates to monitor and control Mrs. Han. Finally, a breakthrough was made. A secret spy discovered that Mrs. Han burned incense and chanted Buddha twice in the morning and evening, and it was obvious from reading her lips.

Mrs. Han chanted silently not Buddhist scriptures or any related prayers, but a prayer of Emperor Daoming. Then, the secret spy sneaked into Mrs. Han's residence again while Mrs. Han was doing work during the day, opened the Guanyin statue on the wall, and found the statue of the Daoming Sect Master on the wall behind the Guanyin statue. She also found a command from Emperor Daoming hidden in the interlayer of the jewelry box from Emperor Daoming, which was written in secret documents by the district supervisor.

Having controlled Mrs. Han, Zeng Man had the intention of fishing big fish for a long line. Originally, Tan Xiaopei also agreed with Zeng Man's opinion. But the sudden "Skyscraper Blasting Case" forced him to reconsider this matter. Although Sun Xiaofan and Mrs. Han belonged to different people, they both belonged to Emperor Daoming. Now Emperor Daoming has taken actual actions to destroy and kill the land of Dongping. Control Mrs. Han, but in any case, Mrs. Han would not threaten the children in Lianfei's belly in no time. This was too much beyond the ability of any secret spy. At this time, Tan Xiaopei felt that it was more important to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and use thorough pursuit to comprehensively attack Emperor Daoming's power in Dongping. It is important to eliminate those operating personnel, but it is also urgent to make the lurking people collecting intelligence clear.

"Your Majesty, I am in prison." Cha Ziming immediately knelt down on the ground. His deputy generals leaked the information, causing the first batch of reinforcements sent out to be wiped out, causing the entire battle situation to fall into a passive position. This crime is absolutely a big deal.

"Get up! I'll be investigated if I want to pursue you." Tan Xiaopei didn't take this matter too seriously.

Tao Ze also understood why Mrs. Han, the female servant who replaced Lian Fei, had to communicate with him first. Tan Xiaopei was not just about replacing Mrs. Han, but also had to interrogate her and torture her later, and to lead a series of people from Daomingzong. Mrs. Han was just a widow with no background in Chunnan, otherwise she would not have been sent to be this female servant who was almost hopeless to return to China and was destined to die of old age in a foreign land. But Dongping came to deal with Mrs. Han, after all, was involved in the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Tao Ze pondered for a moment and said firmly: "Your Majesty, you must follow the power of the matter. Mrs. Han should be handed over to Your Majesty for handling. The matters in this matter will naturally be clarified to the Lord, but the question of this evidence is vague."

Tan Xiaopei said with satisfaction: "Of course, Zeng Man will hand over the previous investigation documents to you, and then you can send someone to follow Mrs. Han and her residence in the search. But you will also be bound by you in the Jingu Garden."

Tan Xiaopei looked at Dou Anqi standing beside him and said, "Mr. Dou, I'll call you today, do you understand why?"

Dou Anqi touched his beard and bowed, "Your Majesty, I would like to go to Yuhang in person to tell the Lord of Chunnan."

"Well, I originally wanted you to send someone, but it would be better for you to run away in person. Thank you for your hard work." Tan Xiaopei nodded and said, "But not only that. It would be great if the Lord of Chunnan was able to keep in line with our country in the investigation of Daomingzong's issue."
