The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 417 The Black Ice Platform is in Action
Seeing that the new year is approaching, most of the projects in Pengcheng have stopped. Most people choose to stay at home to keep warm. In the era of poor material life, the annual energy saving can be avoided, but most of them hang up their house numbers. Some mascots are engraved on it, and there is more or less a hint of the New Year's atmosphere.

As the capital of Li Mi, Pengcheng is a relatively prosperous city, where big businessmen from south to north gather here, and they are not troubled by war.

There is a restaurant called Sifang Restaurant in the city. It is located in the east city of Pengcheng. This area is adjacent to the Wei Palace and is the most prosperous commercial place in Pengcheng.Wine shops, brothels, and inns are densely covered, and there are more than [-] large and small wine shops.

Among the many wine shops, Sifang Restaurant can only be regarded as a medium-sized restaurant. It covers an area of ​​about three acres and has a three-story building. It is facing the gate of Beishi. The market entrance is good, but the wine it sells mainly comes from Bashu and Jiangnan. , so the business has been tepid.

However, food in the war years was a precious thing. In addition to this year's severe drought, Li Mi also issued a ban on alcohol, strictly prohibiting folk wine making. After losing the competition from local wine, Sifang Restaurant's business is booming.Every day, there are more customers and the business is booming.

For a simple restaurant, the booming business will definitely make the shopkeeper and the boss happy, but for the Sifang Restaurant, which is the intelligence center of the Sui Dynasty, the booming business is not a good thing.Since the business became popular, other restaurants have been jealous, and all kinds of right and wrong have followed. This is extremely detrimental to their own safety. Once the dignitaries of the Wei state intervene, it is very easy to be taken away. Therefore, as early as the prohibition order was issued At the moment, the intelligence personnel with a keen sense of smell shifted the center to other industries, so that Sifang Restaurant only served as a branch of intelligence collection.

The important information place of Sifang Restaurant is located between the third floor and the mezzanine on the roof. Since the roof is built high and covered by overhanging eaves, no one will notice the existence of the mezzanine if you don't pay attention.The passage can only go up the wall behind the restaurant, which is what the intelligence personnel added in the name of decoration after they took over the restaurant.

In the afternoon, a man went directly to the mezzanine from the secret passage, and he brought back some collected information.

The spy went upstairs and pushed open a door. Behind the door was a narrow corridor. In the corridor was a big man sitting on a horsesaw and waving a dagger, simulating the number of ways to fight the enemy. His main task was to To prevent people from entering at will, and to give the people above time to burn the confidential documents in anticipation of emergencies, there is such a person on each of the first to third floors.

Seeing the spies coming, the big man smiled and said, "Come back from Donghai County?"

The spy sighed: "Well, I rushed all the way and just came back."

The big man wondered: "Why don't you use Yingxin?"

"Eagle letter can't tell." The spy walked quickly through the corridor and came to a door.

He knocked on the small door and said softly: "Chief, it's me! Three Eight."

"Come in!" A low voice came from the room immediately.

Detective No. 38 opened the door and entered. The light in the room came in from the cracks in the tiles. Although it was a bit dim, it wasn't too bad, and the floor was higher, but it didn't feel oppressive.

There is only one couch, one table and one Maza in the whole room, and the table is full of confidential documents. A man in his thirties is writing something at his desk?
The man is tall and has a very ordinary appearance. He is the kind of person who can't be found when thrown into the crowd. He is Shi Hao, the intelligence leader of the Black Ice Platform in Pengcheng.

Spy No. 38 walked into the room and bowed, "See the leader!"

Shi Haozhong put down his pen, stood up and asked, "Tell me, what's going on in the East China Sea?"

He received an important message from the East China Sea, saying that many villages near the sea in Donghai County were massacred by unidentified water bandits, and those water bandits were like wild beasts, burning, killing, looting and raping were all kinds of crimes, and the lost villages were almost deserted. , where there are corpses everywhere, the elderly and children will not be spared, and even cannibalism, the cruel method is even worse than that of the cannibal maniac Niu Can.

Shi Hao knew that Li Mi, Dou Jiande, and Du Fuwei in the south would not be able to do such a heinous thing, so he ordered a thorough investigation so that the court could be fully prepared.

"Boss, I made many inquiries in Huairen County, East China Sea. Later, I got confirmation from the people around Huairen County. They all said that the water bandits acted extremely viciously, just like a group of inhuman beasts. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes." Spy A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he had a strong hatred for the robbers who caused the miserable scene he saw, "Later, I went to check the villages in person. .”

"As an intelligence officer, you shouldn't have such emotions, calm down!" Shi Hao said coldly,

"Hizhi really can't calm down." The spy took a deep breath, and then let out a long breath of foul air. After recovering, he continued: "Hizhi asked thirty surviving civilians. Judging from the description of the image of the water bandits, ninety-nine percent of these water bandits are Japanese."

As he said that, he took out an ugly sketch from his arms, with an ugly image drawn on it, "This is what the humble official drew based on the descriptions of the common people."

"This is indeed the clothing and hair style of the Japanese people."

Shi Hao's face was solemn, and after a long while, he sneered: "Damn Japanese people, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, sneaked here to fish in the muddy water."

"Leader, what should I do for a humble official?"

"I will report this matter. You return to Donghai immediately, pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese, and take this matter as a top priority."

"Here."

The spies retreated, Shi Hao immediately took a note and wrote down the information.

Shi Hao also used eagles to deliver information, but they did not dare to release eagles in the city, but instead released eagles in a farm ten miles east of the city.

After the information was dry, Shi Hao carefully folded it together with the sketch, and stuffed it into a letter box.

At this time, a store clerk hurried in and said in a concentrated voice: "Boss, there is a heavenly secret order from Ye City."

Shi Hao took the sealed letter box and saw that there was indeed a small word "sky" drawn on it, and his face immediately became positive. The Black Ice Platform has four types of tasks, from high to low, namely sky, earth, and people. , and ordinary, he has been in charge of Pengcheng intelligence for more than two years, but this is the first time he has received a heaven-level secret order.

After carefully reading the content of the secret order, he handed the information he wrote just now to the assistant, and ordered: "Send it to Yecheng immediately, and at the same time divide the flying point into two and transfer it to No. [-] and No. [-]."

"Boss, are we exposed?" the man asked in a deep voice.

"No!" Shi Hao's eyes showed a cold edge, and he said with high spirits: "The higher-ups asked us to do something big enough to hurt Li Mi, and Li Mi will definitely investigate thoroughly when the time comes. For safety, contact Starting today, the point and release point will be divided into two and moved to No. [-] and No. [-] respectively."

While talking, Shi Hao put the secret letters on the table into two small wooden boxes, and confessed: "Send them to No. [-] and No. [-] respectively, and all the belongings are also transferred."

"Here." The man took the box and left quickly.

. . . . . . . .

About half an hour later, Shi Hao discussed matters with ten key members in a secret room.

"Heaven-level secret order from above!" Facing everyone, Shi Hao introduced: "It is said that Pei Shiqing has the royal blood in his hands. He is going to use the royal blood to blackmail the Holy Majesty and Da Sui, so as to obtain the benefits he wants."

"What?" Everyone's complexion changed, and they suddenly looked a little ugly.

The fact that Mrs. Pei forced Pei Qinghua to marry was exactly what everyone had heard, but what they never expected was that apart from Princess Yan who successfully went north, Mrs. Pei also held more important royal blood in her hands.And they don't even know it, this is their dereliction of duty and incompetence.

Shi Hao said with a solemn expression: "The Holy Majesty didn't mean to blame us, but the Holy Majesty's magnanimity made me feel ashamed and ashamed to face the Holy Majesty's kindness and trust."

The deputy leader Zhou Ming said to the ashamed crowd: "The leader is very right. This is our deepest shame. It is a manifestation of our incompetence. I feel a burning pain on my face."

"Boss, presumably our task is to rescue the royal blood, but I don't know what the characteristics of the royal blood are." One person asked, clasping his hands.

"The royal bloodline is a girl, about four years old, named Yang Xifang, or Pei Xifang." Shi Hao turned his gaze to a middle-aged man and asked, "Sixth, you are in charge of the Pei family. impression?"

"There is such a female doll!" The definite answer given by the sixth child reassured everyone a lot.

The sixth child thought about it seriously, and then said firmly: "They all call this girl Xifang, or Fang'er, and they didn't call her by her surname. She used to live in Pei Yin's house, and she rarely went out, and was only occasionally taken to the mansion by the princess. Let's play around. In terms of address and age, this girl is the only girl in the Pei family who is eligible."

Shi Hao nodded and said: "It seems that the noble lady mentioned above is this girl. We must find a way to bring this noble lady to Yecheng. Sixth, can you complete this task?"

The sixth child said with a wry smile, "It's a bit difficult."

"Tell me about your difficulty."

"It's a long way from here to Yecheng, and this noble lady is too young to be mesmerized by drugs for a long time. I'm afraid she will cry on the way. Can you take the maid who serves her away?"

Shi Hao woke up and said: "It's absolutely impossible."

Old Six wondered, "Why not?"

Shi Hao broke out in a cold sweat and said: "The two maids who went north with the princess are actually dead soldiers of the Pei family. Your Majesty was almost plotted by them."

When everyone heard this, their faces were ashen and dripping with cold sweat.

Although it has nothing to do with them who the princess brings, but as the intelligence personnel here, they don't know the origins of the people around the princess. This is their fault.However, Emperor Shengwu didn't blame everyone after being plotted against.

Shi Hao said indifferently: "Your Majesty didn't blame you, but the Taibao and Ling Shangshu were already angry. This is our mission to make up for what we have done. If there is even the slightest mistake, let alone the blame from above, even I will punish you all, and then commit suicide to apologize. .I hope you all remember it well.”

"Here!" Everyone respectfully obeyed.

"You must not take the maid with you. As for how to send your lady to Yecheng safely, that is a difficulty you must overcome. We still have another big task to do. You should act now! When you arrive in Yecheng, replace me Plead guilty to the superior, I am willing to accept any punishment." After Shi Hao finished speaking, he confessed to Lao Liu

After listening to the sixth child, he bowed his hands to everyone, and led a few guys out of the back door of Sifangshalou.
