Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 166 Wala Spy Organization
On this day, just as Jia Qiong was about to leave her job and go home, she saw Wei Wentong walking in excitedly.

As soon as he saw Jia Qiong, he said excitedly: "There's something happening with Mannia!"

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Brother Wei is so happy, it seems that the harvest is not small. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

Wei Wentong nodded, sat down and said, "It's all thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have discovered it.

Mannia is very honest these days. She only goes out to buy some rice and vegetables on weekdays and rarely has contact with people.

A few days ago, she bought some needlework from a street vendor. Our people remembered that this vendor had been to Qunfang Pavilion earlier.

Didn't you say that there might be problems with the two brothels, Hong Xiuzhao and Qunfang Pavilion, and asked my people to pay more attention to them.

I sent someone to keep an eye on him, and sure enough I made a discovery.

He went out last night and went to the house of a Hu Shang. This Hu Shang was extraordinary. His name was Sun Dexia, and he was a naturalized Hu.

The business is huge, with properties in both the east and west cities, selling rare things from the Western Regions and overseas.

This man is good at dancing and has many friends. He often holds cocktail parties under various names.

He had friendships with many of the children of powerful people in the court, especially those of border army generals. "

Jia Qiong nodded and said: "It's basically the same as what I thought. I guess this group of people is either Oara or Tubo, and Jurchens are also possible.

You can conduct an in-depth investigation within ten days to see if you can find any other clues. If not, you can take action.

We have to be careful, we have caught a big fish this time, don't let them find out in advance and escape. "

Wei Wentong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Jia, if he gets into our Jinyiwei's network, he will never get out again.

Sun Dexia Mansion and Qunfang Pavilion are not like the Golden Tiger Gang, they don't have much force.

At most, there are only a few servants guarding the courtyard, and it is easy to catch them. "

On June 22, only half a month had passed since Emperor Longqing asked Jia Qiong to solve the case within a time limit, Chang'an County Government and Beizhen Fusi suddenly launched a joint operation.

At the same time, all properties under the names of Qunfang Pavilion and Sun Dexia were searched, and Sun Dexia and others from Qunfang Pavilion were successfully arrested.

In a villa of Sun Dexia in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, a large amount of pig iron and table salt were seized, which Sun Dexia apparently planned to smuggle into the grassland.

At the same time, a large amount of intelligence and some letters were also found in the secret room.

A secret room was also found in Qunfang Pavilion, from which a small amount of information was also discovered.

This information covers all aspects, from economic to military, from official promotion to military mobilization, it is very comprehensive.

After interrogation, the structure of the spy organization also emerged.

Jia Qiong saw a familiar name in Sun Dexia's confession - Yun Guang.

Yun Guang is the commander of the Dusi of Shenjing's left-behind division. He is a second-rank official. His position is similar to that of the general soldier. He is generally called Jiedushi by the people.

The Chang'an Jiedushi was in charge of the defense of the surrounding areas of Chang'an and had considerable powers. The four fortresses in Guanzhong were all under his jurisdiction.

This Yun Guang is Jia Dai Shan Jiubu. In the original work, this person only appeared once.

When Wang Xifeng took power at the Tiejian Temple, Yunguang just received a letter written by Wang Xifeng in the name of Jia Lian and helped her get the matter settled.

There was no excuse at all, and no favors were asked for.

It can be seen that Yun Guang is still relatively loyal to the Jia family and can be regarded as a confidant.

In Sun Dexia's confession, he got acquainted with the guard general of Xiaoguan through Yunguang's nephew and paid to bribe him so that his goods could pass through the customs unimpeded.

Regardless of whether Yun Guang knew about this or not, it would be difficult for him to get away with this confession.

Yunguang's position is very important and he is loyal to the Jia family. Jia Qiong should give him a hand.

Based on his friendship with Wei Wentong, it is not difficult to do this.

However, Jia Qiong did not do this, and had no intention of even giving a message to Yun Guang.

With so many officials in contact with foreign spy organizations, Jia Qiong had a premonition that a big storm was coming.

How many people had Sun Dexia come into contact with, and who was involved with Qunfang Pavilion? These Jia Qiong did not investigate in depth, but entered the palace immediately.

Emperor Longqing had already issued a special decree that Jia Qiong could go directly to the palace to report this case, so he directly handed the sign to him.

In the south study room, Emperor Longqing was reviewing the memorial. A young eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Jia Qiong, the magistrate of Chang'an County, requests an audience."

Upon hearing Jia Qiong's request to see him, Emperor Longqing thought that there might be progress in the case.

"Herald him to come in." Jia Qiong hurriedly entered, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Qiong, is here to see your Majesty. My Majesty bows down to you."

"Ping Sheng, but has there been any progress in the case?"

"Back to the emperor, the case has been investigated. This is a secret spy organization planted by the Walas in Chang'an City.

The Golden Tiger Gang is responsible for providing funds for this organization and at the same time training thugs who can be used as a surprise force in extraordinary times.

A small number of the women sold out by the Golden Tiger Gang are spies carefully trained by the Wala people, and most of these people have entered Qunfang Pavilion.

They would collect information from the princes, grandsons, and officials' sons, record it, and send it to Hu Shang Sun Dexia.

Sun Dexia is mainly responsible for delivering intelligence and supplies to Wala.

He always deliberately made friends with many officials' children, especially the children of Bianjiang.

He was very generous, often holding cocktail parties, giving rare treasures to the officials' children, and getting to know the officials through them.

Through various forms, he bribed and wooed the generals so that he could smoothly transport prohibited materials to the grasslands.

Sun Dexia also has evidence that many officials accepted bribes to help him transport prohibited items.

At critical moments, he can use this as a threat to control some generals.

The Wala people are so deliberate that they actually planted spies in Chang'an seven or eight years ago, which shows that they have a big plan.

This organization has a tight layout and is difficult to detect. Fortunately, it was discovered in time.

Otherwise, once Wala launches a war against our country, the consequences will be disastrous. "

The more Emperor Longqing heard about it, the more frightened he became. The Wala people were so deliberate in their intentions. They obviously wanted to conquer Chu and regain control of the Central Plains.

If Jia Qiong hadn't found out about the Golden Tiger Gang by chance, and then found out the core of this organization, over time, he doesn't know how much harm he would have caused to the imperial court.

He frowned and asked, "Which officials are colluding with them? Have you found out?"

Jia Qiong took out a stack of documents from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, this is the confession from Sun Dexia's preliminary interrogation and the letters of communication between him and some officials.

The minister was anxious to report to the palace, but he had not yet interrogated Sun Dexia in detail. He did not know if there were others. "

Emperor Longqing took the letter, read it carefully, and after pondering for a while, he said: "You have done a good job. Please don't interfere with the rest of the matter. I will leave it to the Jin Yiwei to handle it."

Jia Qiong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was eager to get rid of this job.

"Yes, I obey the order."

Emperor Longqing smiled and said: "You have done great service this time and eliminated a big hidden danger for the court, so you deserve a heavy reward.

But you, the Chang'an County Magistrate, have only been on the job for less than two months, so it seems inappropriate to transfer him so soon.

What would you like me to reward you with? "

Jia Qiong thought: Could it be that the emperor wants to default on his debt again? I have made so many contributions, but he still doesn’t want to promote me?

He was complaining crazily in his heart, but he said respectfully on his face: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. No matter how the emperor rewards his ministers, he will always be deeply grateful."

Emperor Longqing praised him highly and said: "Good, good! He is worthy of being a world-famous talent, the literary star of our great state of Chu.

Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, good integrity and good character! "

Jia Qiong felt as if he was being tricked by Emperor Long Qing. The praise was quite harsh, but it was not practical.

He could only be polite and said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary, I really can't bear it."

Emperor Longqing smiled and said: "I know what you mean. You should go back first. I have to think carefully about what to reward you."

"No, the minister will leave."

After taking two steps, Jia Qiong stopped again, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I have a request."

Emperor Longqing asked in confusion: "What request?"

"In order to investigate this case, I have been investigating this case day and night, and I feel a little unwell.

It happens to be my wife's birthday in two days. I would like to take a few days off and rest at home for a few days. "

Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said, "You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing. Just arrange the official affairs of the county yourself."

"Yes, I retire."
