Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 939: The Secret Service’s “Arrogant Enemy”

In the dead of night, it is the time when all things are cultivated.

But in a government office in Dai County, the lights were still bright, and many figures were walking back and forth, showing a busy look.

This is the secret espionage department that the entire Dai County is now faintly afraid of. In the foreseeable future, as Chen Zhi takes control of Youzhou, this mysterious but almost domineering organization will inevitably spread its tentacles throughout the entire state and county, making the entire Youzhou people are afraid.

However, Su Liao, who was in charge of this secretive office at the moment, was looking at the new pieces of information in front of him, frowning and chanting short sentences one after another, while there were eight people around him sitting in front of several tables, constantly talking. Recorded.

"At Mao Shi, Liu Changshu of the Liu family met a merchant and wanted to investigate;"

"At Chenshi, Zhang Shujie of the Zhang family met Luo Gan of the Luo family. The two had a detailed discussion in the secret room. They wanted to cut off contact with Shi Le and join the general."

"At Chen time, Zhang Zigong of the Zhang family killed a scholar of the Shang family in Zhoujiazhuang outside the city and buried him at the foot of the mountain outside;"

"Sishi..."

"Noon..."

……

These incidents, one after another, mainly revolve around people from all the major families in Dai County. They are mainly concentrated on a few big families in Dai County.

Almost every one of these things can be said to be a secret, rarely known by people, because the information that cannot be sealed will naturally be transmitted to the government through various channels, and then lead to the criminal law canon, so as to eliminate evil Protecting good is what the government does on the surface.

At least in the area of ​​Dai County, after more than half a year of Chen Zhi's politics, the government behavior of several counties has taken on a completely new look. Although bad habits are still inevitable due to the interference of aristocratic families and the hereditary inheritance of officials and subordinates that have not been eradicated, in general, they have gradually shown the governance style. Public attitude.

However, beneath the surface of the government is the operation of the Secret Service.

The more secret information is passed to the Secret Intelligence Service through spies. After identifying the truth and falsehood, it will be classified and collected. There is a lot of black material in it. Although it is mainly from aristocratic families, some celebrities from poor families, businessmen, and even Slightly more powerful gangs and estates have records.

Generally speaking, these records will be in the hands of the Secret Intelligence Service. Even the yamen that openly resolve the case will not disclose them easily. Unless Chen Zhi personally allows it, they will be shelved and used as a basis for deterrence and analysis. .

For this reason, the county magistrates complained several times in private, of course.These complaints were also gathered up and stored in the Secret Service's treasury. As for the location of this treasury, it was even more secretive, and even few people inside the Secret Service knew about it.

As the head of the Secret Intelligence Department, Su Liao was well aware of the heavy responsibilities, so he worked early and late every day to personally handle a lot of information, especially the information from Dai County, and focused on the families that were considered hidden dangers to Chen Zhi. And characters, right now he is personally filtering today's summary.

Suddenly, when he read a sentence, Su Liao stopped, raised his head and asked, "Did Huan Yi go to see Zao Song today?"

"Exactly," a staff member immediately responded to the inquiry, "I've been waiting for you to analyze this matter. The results have been obtained and have been reported to you, Shangguan. It's probably behind this piece of information." "Oh?" Su Liao Ye no longer looked through it, but asked directly: "Tell me how you analyzed it." There was a sense of majesty in these words.

The staff member didn't hesitate and said: "This morning, Wu Jie was found to have hung himself from a beam. Later, Zao Song took the initiative to provoke and confront Hu Shang at the joint. Hu Shang was originally sent here by the Zhuge family to make good friends. , he took care of several important officials in the general's palace. In order to support his reputation, this businessman usually acted in a very flamboyant way. When the two of them met, they each got what they wanted, so they made a big fuss, including Zhang Jingsheng and Wang next to him. Kuai, Lu Jian, Luo Yang, and Gu En met and had some discussions. Their conversations were also included in the documents at the back for Shangguan to check. After the Hu Shang returned, there was no movement, and Zaosong entered the house. , I had a conversation with two confidants, the content of which was not clear yet, but generally I still felt about what happened to Wu Jie, and immediately after that Huan Yi came to visit."

This person spoke sentence by sentence, without looking at any records at all, but clearly explained the connections between all parties involved in the matter.

In fact, he is not the only one, every one of the eight people present has such ability, because they are here to assist Su Liao in recording many events. They are selected from everyone, and their memory is far superior to others. They have Only with such skills can one stay.

Compared with them, Su Liao was at a disadvantage in this aspect, but no matter what talent he had, nothing could compare to Chen Zhi's trust, so Su Liao was truly indispensable to the Secret Service.

"Where's the content?" After hearing the report, Su Liao didn't ask anything else and only focused on this one thing.

"It hasn't been found out yet," another staff member answered this time. This person seemed to be mainly responsible for spying on document records. "But we are already investigating, and we know some general information. It seems to be related to the King of Jin in the court. .”

But this answer made Su Liao very dissatisfied. He frowned and said: "On both sides, one is Wang Jun's subordinate, and the other is the advance guard of King Jiangdu. Their conversation must involve the general's interests. This content, We have to figure it out!" When he said this, his tone was already a bit harsh.

However, everyone else present understood Su Liao's thoughts.

You know, before this, it has been proven that the general who conquered the north had another independent intelligence system in addition to the secret espionage department. Even this system did not originate from the Chen family and the Yang family. The family made many people speculate about its origins, so they became more and more awed and kept secrets.

This is also considered to be one of the means to restrict the Secret Intelligence Department, so the people in the Secret Intelligence Department are under greater pressure. Before this, Su Liao had experienced many times that the master had not yet received the news. I know the taste, but it's embarrassing.

In the beginning, when the Secret Service was first established, it was not perfect yet and could be used for self-comfort. However, it is different now. Every time it falls behind another "secret agency", everyone from Su Liao to other subordinates will be disappointed. Deeply ashamed.

It was the same this time. Su Liao really didn't want to wait until he went to see Chen Zhi. When reporting the matter, he wanted to know the details from his lord's mouth.

"Time is of the essence. Since the Jin Prince of the imperial court is involved, the news must be delivered no later than tomorrow morning. If there is not an accurate letter by then, our Secret Service will be embarrassed again!"

Su Liao's tone was stern, and the faces of the others were stern. Knowing that it was another sleepless night, he quickly mobilized his staff to conduct various investigations, and finally found a more accurate answer through layers of investigation.

When Su Liao held the piece of paper and looked at what was said on it, his expression suddenly changed and became extremely gloomy.

"These people are so brave. At this moment, they still don't know how powerful our lord is?"

With a sneer, he went directly to meet Chen Zhi with the information.
