Chapter 743
: Successive mishaps
Qi Tianyou's confidant who was searching near the first ray of heaven couldn't find anything, so he entered the city. After some inquiries, he naturally found the brothel. He accidentally heard that someone had asked him two days ago. He was shocked and immediately sent the news back. At the same time, he rushed to Yangzhou immediately.
Qi Tianyou had just left the court and returned to the mansion with a cold face. The officials in the court still praised him, but he was always uneasy.
"Your Majesty, there is news."
One of his subordinates presented the secret letter.
The secret letter read: Someone had already inquired about the bribery of the silver two days ago. This person went to Yangzhou that day, and the slave was intercepting him.
"A bunch of waste!"
Qi Tianyou was furious and rolled the secret letters into pieces, and his chest was fluctuating violently.
He was taken first by someone again. It’s really better to succeed than to lose things!
After walking back and forth for a long time, Qi Tianyou ordered: "Send people to chase and kill immediately, and they must not be allowed to step into the capital!"
"yes!"
The subordinates immediately brought a large number of people to go there.
From Yangzhou to Beijing, you can take both water and land routes, and there is not only one road to go.
The left handle gathered all the subordinates who were investigating the bribery in the vicinity. After an open and secret investigation, he finally confirmed that someone brought the youngest son of Cheng's family who was most dissatisfied with the Yangzhou prefect for levying heavy taxes. With the help of the Yangzhou prefect, he confirmed that the other party left by boat.
He immediately divided his troops into two groups, one by one, one by one, and one by one, one by one, and one by one, one by one, and one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, chasing him.
The first way is to set up ambush first, and the next way is to follow and ensure that the group of people are under his surveillance.
With such a thorough arrangement, there will never be any mistakes again, right?
The left handle brought the man to disguise himself as a porter carrying goods on the dock. He watched the ships passing by while moving goods. After two days of guarding, he was black all over and there was no one.
"Boss, our ship has arrived!"
His subordinates pointed in surprise at the merchant ship that was gradually docking.
The left handle dropped the rice bag on his shoulder and rushed to the edge of the dock. While walking, his clothes were wet and stuck to his body. He really looked like a porter: "Where are they?"
The merchant ship had not stopped yet, and the subordinates above said tremblingly: "They were still within our sight, but there was a river convergence ahead, and the river channel was narrow. Many ships lined up. They mixed into the ship and disappeared soon."
"Go back and look for it now!"
The left handle jumped onto the merchant ship that had just been anchored, and the other subordinates rushed forward. He was sure that the group of people had not passed by here, which means that they had changed lanes at the intersection, and it might be too late to chase after them now.
The merchant ship was rushing in the turbulent river, and in just two hours, he found a large ship docked on the side of the road. The left handle was uneasy and led people to search. Sure enough, the other party had disappeared.
"What should I do?"
The subordinates were sweating coldly. They had already made mistakes one after another. How could they explain to King Cheng when they went back?
The left handle became even more frightened and fell a lot of things on the boat before writing a sealed letter to send them back.
"Are you lost?"
Qi Tianyou was not uncomfortable at all when he heard this news. He seemed to be able to accept his subordinates' incompetence. He raised his hand and put a cold order, "Retract everyone who searched the silver bribes, and let Zuo Bian catch all the others who came to the family back!"
If someone really reported it, he would send his men to search for the bribery of the silver. He would be the most powerful evidence to convict him. If he took the person back and pretended to be nothing, there would be room for trouble.
