After seeing Taiyuan City from a distance, Zhao Junchen's team hid in a place where passers-by were sparsely populated, except for Bao Wenjie and a few Jinyi guards who still maintained the disguise of the victims, the rest of the people changed into the clothes of ordinary people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, under Zhao Junchen's order, the brocade guards dressed as ordinary people entered Taiyuan City in batches, responsible for investigating the situation in Taiyuan City and finding a suitable residence base for Zhao Junchen.

Zhao Junchen did not enter the city directly, but under the leadership of Ma Jia, the official of Lu'an Prefecture, he walked towards the west of Taiyuan City with Bao Wenjie and others.

Although Li Xun, the governor of Shanxi, was arresting the victims everywhere, he naturally would not detain the victims in Taiyuan City.

Ten miles west of Taiyuan City, there was a crude camp dedicated to detaining the people who had fled the famine sent by the Shanxi state capitals.

According to Zhao Junchen's plan, Bao Wenjie and others wanted to disguise themselves as victims to infiltrate this camp, take the opportunity to find out the news, collect evidence, and then wait until Zhao Junchen questioned Li Xun, the governor of Shanxi, Li Xun would have no room for defense.

After approaching the camp, seeing the detailed environment in the camp, Zhao Junchen couldn't help frowning.

This camp is too simple, just a piece of land enclosed with a wooden fence, the area is less than 100 acres, but inside is a large group of disaster victims, roughly estimated at least more than 2,000 people, it seems very crowded, there are no houses in the camp, just sporadically set up some simple and dilapidated tents, there are many victims can only live in the open air, there are many soldiers outside the camp, the victims can only enter and not go out, eating, drinking and Lazar are all solved in the small camp, so that this camp is not only extremely dirty, And there is also a pungent stench in the air.

At the same time, Bao Wenjie was angry and said: "The governor of Shanxi let the victims live here? Even the pigsty carriage is cleaner and more spacious than here, right? If someone is infected with an epidemic, won't all thousands of people suffer? ”

After hearing Bao Wenjie's angry reprimand, Ma Jia, the official of the Lu'an Mansion, said with a smile: "This lord, don't look at the environment here, but most of the victims are reluctant to leave, because they can still drink at least two bowls of porridge a day here, but it is much easier than the days of escaping." ”

Bao Wenjie snorted coldly, but did not answer.

At this time, Bao Wenjie was wearing a shabby coarse cloth shirt and pants, and he was deliberately smeared with some dust, just looking at the costume, it was not much different from ordinary victims.

Originally, Bao Wenjie was still full of confidence in his mission, but after he saw the dirty environment of the camp, he had some intention of retreating.

After Zhao Junchen glanced at the change in Bao Wenjie's expression, he slowly spoke: "Lord Bao, whether we can catch the crimes of the Northwest Provinces this time and find out the truth about their arrest of the victims everywhere depends on you!" Otherwise, once Shanxi Governor Li Xun flatly denies it, and we don't have tangible evidence in our hands, there is nothing we can do about him...... It's just that the environment of this camp is too bad, although it is for the people, but it is really wronged by Lord Bao. ”

Zhao Junchen's words were very timely, which stimulated the clear wind in Bao Wenjie's heart and dispelled Bao Wenjie's retreat.

I saw Bao Wenjie nodding with a serious expression and said: "Don't worry, Lord Zhao, after the lower officials enter the camp, they will definitely collect detailed information and find tangible evidence as soon as possible, which will definitely make Li Xun indisputable." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded lightly, and said: "In addition, if you can't ask for news from the victims, after another hour, you can let the Jinyi guards directly reveal their identities, control the officials guarding the camp, and force them to ask for news, maybe you can collect more information, and I will also leave a group of people outside the camp to answer you...... But don't startle the snake in advance, I don't want Li Xun to be on guard in advance. ”

Bao Wenjie's consciousness is very high, but the brocade guards behind him, who are also pretending to be disaster victims, have bitter faces.

Just like Bao Wenjie said, the environment of this camp is not as good as the pigsty stable, and the brocade guards who have always been pampered are really reluctant to step into it, but this is Zhao Junchen's order, and they do not have the courage to disobey.

While speaking, the team had already arrived outside the gate of the disaster camp.

A Taiyuan official guarding the camp greeted him, but after seeing Ma Jia, his expression was stunned, and he asked, "Why are you Ma Jia?" Is it the victims sent by Lu'an Mansion again? I remember that your Lu'an Mansion just sent a batch yesterday? ”

Ma Jia hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zhang Bantou, didn't I catch another batch, although the number is not much, but I happened to go to the governor's yamen to present the official document, so I sent them here by the way." ”

That Zhang Bantou turned his head to look at the group of "disaster victims" behind Ma Jia.

At this time, there are only more than ten Jinyi guards who are still pretending to be disaster victims, these people are relatively thin and small, and their acting skills are also the most outstanding

However, Zhang Bantou still had some doubts in his heart and asked, "What's the matter?" Most of the people who fled the famine were old and weak, women and children, so why are all these victims adult men? ”

Because of Zhao Junchen's advance advice, Ma Jia was also prepared, put on a casual appearance, and replied: "Who knows what's going on?" I didn't ask in detail, as if before they fled to Lu'an Mansion, the old and weak women and children in the family had been arrested by local governments one after another, and only these adult men escaped arrest...... But what does it matter to them, I'm just responsible for escorting them here, what the hell are you doing...... Wang Bantou, I will return to Lu'an Mansion tomorrow, I have time tonight, let's go have a drink? I'm in for a treat! ”

Hearing Ma Jia's statement, Wang Bantou pondered in his heart and found that Ma Jia was reasonable, he was just responsible for taking care of the camp and preventing the victims from escaping, so why bother with the identities of these victims?

In addition, Ma Jia's proposal to treat him to a drink also diverted Wang Bantou's attention.

So, Wang Bantou waved at his subordinates and said: "Send these disaster victims into the camp, take the time to find someone to count the number of people in the camp, if it reaches 3,000 people, tell me, and I will report to the governor!" ”

After Bao Wenjie and the others entered the camp one after another, Wang Bantou turned his head to Ma Jia and smiled: "I will return to the city today, you wait in the city for a while, I will look for you then!" ”

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you in the city! ”

After speaking, Ma Jia turned around and walked towards Taiyuan City.

After Zhao Junchen took a deep look at the camp full of victims, he also followed behind Ma Jia.

After Zhao Junchen entered Taiyuan City, the Jinyi guards who entered Taiyuan City first had already set up an inn and were looking around for news.

After Zhao Junchen stepped into the most spacious room in the inn, as the door closed, Mao Jiadong led a group of Jinyi Guard officers to salute Zhao Junchen in unison, waiting for Zhao Junchen's further instructions.

Zhao Junchen casually found a chair to sit down, and then asked Mao Jiadong: "The brothers didn't reveal their whereabouts when they sneaked into Taiyuan City, right?" ”

Mao Jiadong replied in a deep voice: "Back to Lord Zhao's words, the brothers did not reveal their whereabouts. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded slightly, and then turned to Ma Jia and asked, "You often come to Taiyuan Mansion to present official documents, do you know who is the most trusted staff of Shanxi Governor Li Xun?" ”

Ma Jia hurriedly replied: "As far as the villain knows, Governor Li's most trusted staff is his brother Li Qian. ”

Zhao Junchen asked again: "Li Qian lives in Li Xun's mansion?" ”

Ma Jia shook his head and said, "No, Li Qian has another house of his own." ”

Zhao Junchen asked again: "Very good, do you know where Li Qian's house is?" ”

Ma Jia nodded again and said, "Master Sun once sent me to give a gift to Master Li, so I went to his house. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded again, his expression gradually became solemn, his eyes turned to Mao Jiadong, and he ordered: "After evening, I will send some reliable Jinyi guards to Li Qian's house, control Li Qian and Li Qian's relatives, and ask Li Qian for news, and be sure to pry out from his mouth the real reason why Shanxi Governor Li Xun arrested the fleeing victims everywhere!" …… But don't make too much noise, be secretive, and don't startle the snake! ”

Jin Yiwei is familiar with this kind of thing, so Mao Jiadong immediately responded in a deep voice: "Obey orders!" ”

Zhao Junchen turned his attention to several other Jinyi Guard officers, and issued orders one after another.

"Send someone to the vicinity of the Jin King's Mansion to inquire and collect the Jin King's recent dynamics......"

"Collect the price changes, army movements, and folk rumors in Taiyuan City in the recent period ......"

"Send a team of Jinyi guards to leave Taiyuan City, go to the vicinity of the Taiyuan Military Town camp to wait, and wait until the Taiyuan City Gate is closed, and then identify themselves to the generals in the military camp, and announce the order to them as the messenger of the Qin, let them come to Taiyuan City in person tomorrow morning to meet me, but no one is allowed to lead troops, and the soldiers and horses in the Taiyuan Military Town camp are not allowed to be transferred at will without my order...... Mao Jiadong, you will do this personally......"

"Monitor the dynamics of Wang An, the prefect of Taiyuan, and all the Jin merchants in Taiyuan City, and report to me immediately if there is anything abnormal......"

"Arrange for a team of men to lurk near the governor's yamen, and when I enter the governor's yamen in person tomorrow morning, I will immediately control the situation near the governor's yamen......"

As Zhao Junchen issued one order after another, the officers of the Jinyi Guard received orders one after another and left the room one after another.

On this night, the situation in Taiyuan Province is not destined to be calm.

But because Zhao Junchen's actions were hidden, the forces of Taiyuan Mansion still did not notice any abnormality.

*

By the early morning of the next day, Zhao Junchen's orders had already borne fruit.

In the inn room, when Zhao Junchen carefully reviewed all the information collected by the Jinyi guards overnight, his face was expressionless, but there was a faint anger in his eyes.

In particular, the information that the Jinyi guards forced from Li Qian's mouth completely confirmed some conjectures in Zhao Junchen's heart.

Before that, Zhao Junchen had always hoped that his conjecture was wrong.

Then, Zhao Junchen slowly issued a new order again: "Everyone change into the clothes of Jinyiwei and go with me to the Yamen of Shanxi Governor to see Li Xun!" ”

……

Well, the first and second shifts will be late, so let's see it tomorrow morning.

In addition, on the issue of corn taste, native corn is indeed very hard, thick skin and jerky, a lot of starch, insects have eaten a few times when they were young, it is by no means a pleasure, and now the popular sweet corn, waxy corn, tender corn and the like are all products of genetic improvement, the skin is thin and juicy, and the taste is naturally excellent, but it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have these types.
