Chapter 220 Tracked (1)
Zhen Qian's official body is a very good protective umbrella, but it is also a shackle that binds himself, if he wanders around in the territory of Datang, his official body can bring a lot of convenience to Zhen Qian, and he will not even be carefully examined.
However, if he wants to leave Datang, his official body will make Zhen Qian's mobility inconvenient, especially with the sensitive Tang envoys, there will be a bit of an official flavor in it, which will have to be approved by the Ministry of Rites, the question is is that is possible?
Zhen Shi knew that at this level, it was absolutely impossible for Zhen Qian to join the fleet of sending Tang envoys back to China in an official capacity, and this time the Tang envoys were also a little unhappy with Li Longji, and rejected Li Longji's request to send Taoist priests to the Japanese country, which was undoubtedly a loss of face for Li Longji, who was so happy, so this time he sent the Tang envoy back to China without even a Tang envoy to send a welcome envoy, which shows the anger in Li Longji's heart.
"Zhen Lang rest assured, there are many maritime merchants in Yangzhou who go to the Japanese Kingdom, and I will arrange this matter privately?"
This matter is that Fujiwara Shuxiong doesn't say it, Zhen Qian won't do it himself, and the maritime merchants in Yangzhou won't give themselves face and take the risk to vouch for themselves. On the contrary, these maritime merchants asked for help from the Tang envoys, and were more willing to help the Tang envoys.
Wang Tianxing lowered his head and ate the food in front of him, and suddenly kicked Zhen Qian under the table, Zhen Qian was stunned for a moment, looked up at Wang Tianxing, looked in the direction he was looking at, and said with a look at Wang Tianxing: "After eating, go back and rest early!" ”
The group returned to the inn, Zhen Qian and Fujiwara Shuxiong walked into their room after breaking up, and nodded to Wang Tianxing behind him, Wang Tianxing turned around and left, and after a while, he quietly led in a person dressed as a farmer.
"Sit!"
Zhen Qian didn't say a word anymore, his eyes kept staring at the young man who looked like a farmer.
"This is a letter and token that someone dragged me to Lang Jun!"
Zhen Qian looked at a thick letter placed in front of him and the half of the jade on it, and took out a half jade of the same appearance from his arms, the two jade pieces were right together, just tightly, and then checked the seal of the letter, then nodded slightly and said: "Fortunately for you, you and Tianxing will go back first, there will be something to bring back tomorrow morning, and the reward will be indispensable for you."
The young man who looked like a farmer bowed down and exited the room, and only after the person left, Zhen Qian opened the letter in his hand, his eyes quickly glanced at the paper, and saw that what was said on the paper was some polite words, so he relieved himself and took out a book from the suitcase next to him, holding the letter in one hand and rummaging in the book with the other, and after a long time, he tore the letter in his hand and threw it into the brazier.
Watching the letters slowly disappear in the brazier, a smile appeared on Zhen Qian's face.
After a long time, Wang Tianxing pushed the door and walked in, and saw Zhen Qiandao, who was leaning on the table: "Da Lang, the people who are following outside haven't left yet, these people are really annoying plasters, it's better to ......", Wang Tianxing's pupils flashed with a touch of killing intent, and his hand swiped under his neck.
"These people have been following us from Luquan County to Yanzhou, if you really do it, I'm afraid we will be wandering the world early tomorrow morning!"
"What then? What is the origin of these people, and if we find out that we are leaving Datang, will they come forward to stop us! ”
Zhen Qian also had a headache to death, and somehow he was targeted, the identities of these people are mysterious, and it is not easy to start, so they can only respond to all changes with the same, and take one step at a time, if they can't leave Datang in Yangzhou, I'm afraid they will really be in trouble.
Fujiwara Shuxiong didn't know about this matter, it shouldn't have been for the Tang envoy, so are these people from An Lushan, or other forces, and what do they want from themselves?
Before he figured things out, Zhen Qian didn't want to alarm the people who were following him, so as not to startle the snake.
"I don't think they know what we're doing yet, you guys have to be careful when you go out, check every half an hour, and stare these people to death for me!"
Zhen Qian rubbed his sour forehead and said: "The matter over there in Bohai has been arranged, this is the last time we will contact Zhen Jiu and them, I suspect that the person who came just now has been followed by the other party, you use the second plan to get in touch with Zhen Jiu, let him be careful!" ”
"The man just now?"
"It's business as usual, I'll write him a letter casually, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other party!"
Soon, Zhen Qian wrote a letter, the content of which was also some words such as exchanging peace greetings, which looked no different from ordinary letters.
Before dawn the next day, the group packed up early and drove the carriage out of Yanzhou to the south.
Not long after Zhen Qian left Yanzhou, the young man who looked like a farmer also left Yanzhou with Zhen Qian in his arms and walked in the direction of Penglai. Not long after the young man walked out of the city, several men dressed in black on the side of the road stopped the young man in his way, "Take out the things?" ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, his face turned blue with fright, and he was terrified, and he just wanted to shout for help, but he saw the man in black outflanking him from both sides and punching the young man in the face. When the young man awoke again, he found himself in a dilapidated room, and his hands and feet were firmly trapped and unable to move.
A man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks carefully searched the young man's body, took out all the things on the young man's body, and respectfully handed it to a stout and powerful man behind him, and said with a respectful and humble expression: "Boss, everything on this kid's body is here, there should be no mistake!" ”
The stout and powerful man wrinkled his eyebrows together, and looked at the pile of things in front of him: a bag of dry food, a few belongings, a copper coin as usual, a passing place, a letter and half a jade, and nothing else.
"That's it? Has his identity been clarified? ”
"This kid's surname is Yang, others call him Black Dog, an authentic Penglai person, usually idle and has no major bad deeds, it shouldn't have anything to do with the people we investigated?"
"You interrogate first, remember not to reveal our identities", the man at the head waved his hand, picked up the jade bi with one hand, picked up the letter with the other, saw that there was a seal on it, reached out and took out a sharp knife from his arms, and carefully opened the seal along the seal.
The man at the head quickly swept the contents of the letter, waved his hand to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, copied the contents of the letter, and put the original letter back into the envelope, so that he could not see that it had been opened.
