However, how could Duan Xuan follow what Zheng Zhilong said, and return in vain without achieving anything?

Zheng Zhilong also underestimated the people in the Intelligence Department.

It was already late at night, and the wait in Duan Xuan's room was still on, but Duan Xuan was no longer here, but in another room.

"Puff puff ......"

There was a sudden knocking sound on the window lattice.

"It's coming, why don't you come down quickly?"

In the house, Duan Xuan said lightly.

As soon as the window opened, a figure fell from the eaves, jumped straight into the room, and knelt down on one knee, "Subordinate Zhang Shu participates in the department!" ”

"Get up, Zhang Shu, you know the purpose of my coming to Fuzhou this time, right?"

Duan Xuan said slowly.

Zhang Shu is the person in charge of the Ministry of Intelligence in Fuzhou, and he is also the right-hand man that Gao Jie placed in Fuzhou, responsible for intelligence collection above the government and the opposition in the entire Fujian.

Zhang Shu said in a low voice: "Lord Ministry, your subordinates naturally know why you came, if you don't know, then Fujian's intelligence department has no value in existing, and the arms are here for the arms case!" ”

Duan Xuan nodded and asked, "Tell me, what useful information do you have?" ”

Zhang Shu replied: "Some information, maybe useful, maybe not very useful, first, on the fourth day after the robbery of the arms at sea, a fleet came from the southeast of Mawei Military Port, this fleet is Zheng Zhilong's strength overseas, it does not belong to the imperial court's sailors, there are almost six or seven hundred people, from the point of view of time, they overlap with the time of the sea robbery, and in terms of troops, it is enough to form a combat advantage for our caravan; Second, on the day of the arrival of the fleet, our brother heard Zheng Zhilong's roar from the Admiral's Palace, if this matter was really done by his subordinates to hide it from him, he had reason to be furious, no one wanted to get into such a big trouble at this time, he Zheng Zhilong was also unwilling, what so many arms meant to the imperial court, he knew very well, this was a hot yam! ”

Duan Xuan said in a deep voice: "These two are useless, they are all guesses, I want useful dry goods!" ”

"Thirdly,"

Zhang Shu continued: "Towards the evening of the same day, Zheng Zhibao and a young man returned to the fleet, slaughtered hundreds of people on board at that time, and did not leave a single one alive, and the battleship sailed towards the sea and never came back......

Duan Xuan's heart jumped, and he said in a low voice: "Is your source true?" ”

Zhang Shu hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Lord Qiyu, it's true, the Admiral's Mansion, the Admiral's Yamen and the Mawei Military Port are the key places controlled by our Intelligence Department, and there are at least five of our capable personnel watching each place, and there are still a lot of eyeliner on the periphery, this matter must not be wrong!" ”

"So, they're killing people......"

Duan Xuan said slowly, two rays of light shot out of his eyes, this Zheng Zhilong is really ruthless enough, hundreds of people, all slaughtered! However, this is not enough, if it is just the work of his subordinates, he only needs to give up the car to protect the commander, call out the arms, hand over the first offender to the court, and the clouds will disperse, the emperor will definitely not be punished for this, Zheng Zhilong should not understand this truth, and he is willing to risk such a big deal and make such an angry atrocity!

Zhang Shu continued: "Also, my lord, when our brother was delivering food to the people on the fleet, he had no intention of saving a seriously injured and dying foreigner from the ship, and he felt that things were a little strange, so he saved the person, perhaps, this person has some information and asked the best doctor in Fuzhou to treat him, but this person has been in a coma for six or seven consecutive days, and even the most famous doctor in Fuzhou does not dare to guarantee that it will survive......

Foreigner?

Duan Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does that foreigner look like?" ”

Zhang Shu smiled bitterly: "My lord, almost all the red-haired devils look the same, where can the subordinates describe it?" Oh, by the way, I had someone draw an image and bring it to you, but the brothers are not very good at their craft, so I don't know how similar they can be......"

"Portrait, bring it!"

Zhang Shu hurriedly took out a portrait from his arms and gently placed it on the table, while turning on the lamps and candles on the table.

Indeed, the painting is too bad? I could barely see the outline of the person, and the person was covered in injuries, so it was even more difficult to see clearly, but Duan Xuan still felt a little familiar, but he couldn't say it.

"Ke Tong!"

Duan Xuan shouted.

Ke Tong outside hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice, "My lord, what are you ordering?" ”

Duan Xuan said in a deep voice: "You are the earliest old man in the Ministry of Intelligence, and you are more familiar with many situations than me, look at this portrait, what's so special?" ”

Ke Tong hurriedly and carefully identified it, and said suddenly: "My lord, look at this person's cheeks and neck, this ink spot is obviously deliberately pointed, it should be an obvious mole!" “

Zhang Shu hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, Master Ke, it is indeed a mole, not so much a mole, but a birthmark, the size of a right thumb nail......"

"That's right!"

Ke Tong looked a little excited, and said urgently: "Lord Ministry, you have been in Manchuria before, and you don't know much about the appearance and characteristics of the lords in the court, and when you took office in the Ministry of Intelligence, some important ministers in the court have left Nanjing, among which Lord Tang Ruowang is one of them, he was originally in charge of Yingtian Academy and Qintianjian as a squire of the Ministry of Works, and the emperor was sent to Fujian and Nanyang on a business trip not long after he ascended the throne, and General Xu Peiming was responsible for trade affairs with foreign warships, artillery and other materials, and the caravan was robbed this time, Lord John Tong did not escape because he was patrolling the artillery on the big ship, and was captured by pirates, and this Lord John Tang has this mole slightly smaller than a copper coin on his jaw! If his subordinates didn't guess wrong, this foreigner must be Lord John Tang! ”

John Soup!

Duan Xuan almost jumped up, although this person is a foreigner, but he is the emperor's right-hand man, he is deeply valued by the emperor, if it is really him, then the matter is not far away!

"Ke Tong, immediately return to the stronghold with Zhang Shu, go to see Tang Ruowang in person, if it is true, then it will be implemented, be sure to save Tang Ruowang's life, and secretly send it back to Nanjing, remember, this is the only clue we have in our hands, and there must be no omission!"

Ke Tong hurriedly agreed, walked out of the room with Zhang Shu, flew directly to the room, and walked away, Duan Xuan took a deep breath, hehe, Tang Ruowang, Zheng Zhilong, as long as Lao Tzu gets the real evidence, your good days will come to an end, and the emperor will clean you up sooner or later!
