Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1558 Untitled!

As the bell for work rang at the nearby Jiaming Textile Factory, an ordinary horse-drawn carriage appeared in the sight of this well-mannered man!

A strange look also emerged in the man's eyes, but he remained calm. Soon the carriage passed by the man. The man looked inside the carriage through the window with the corner of his eye, and saw a graceful young woman sitting in the carriage!

Seeing this, the man's mouth curled up into a happy arc. As the carriage drove away, the man casually threw out a few copper coins for breakfast, left the snack stand, walked through several crowded and narrow alleys, and then walked into a hotel with ordinary decoration.

The man wanted to go back to his house on the second floor, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Liu Dazhi stopped him and said:
"Sir, are you Wang Lei?"

After hearing the shopkeeper call out his name, Wang Lei narrowed his eyes and said calmly:
"What's the matter, Manager Liu?"

Shopkeeper Liu seemed to sense the guest's vigilance and immediately explained:

"Sir, I just received a package. The note on it is your house number, and it says it's for Wang Lei, so I want to ask if you are Wang Lei. If you are Wang Lei, I will give you this package!"

Wang Lei was a little surprised to hear that there was a package for him, but after a moment's silence he admitted:
"I am Wang Lei! The package is here!" -
"The package is here at the counter!"

After saying that, Liu Dazhi took out a package from the counter and handed it to Wang Lei. Looking at the square wooden box, Wang Lei was a little curious and wanted to see what was in the box. Thinking of this, he thanked the shopkeeper and prepared to return to his room...

However, as soon as Wang Lei turned around, he heard the voice of the shopkeeper Liu Dazhi again.

"Sir, your room fee will expire the day after tomorrow! Do you want to renew it?"

At this time, Wang Lei was already a little impatient. He glanced coldly at the shopkeeper Liu Dazhi and spoke in a deep voice:
"No more! I'll leave the day after tomorrow!"

After saying that, Wang Lei no longer paid attention to Liu Dazhi and went straight to his room. After returning to the room, Wang Lei did not relax his vigilance, but carefully observed the layout of the room. After realizing that nothing had changed in the room, Wang Lei relaxed his vigilance, closed the doors and windows, and put the wooden box he had just taken from Liu Dazhi on the table.

After carefully opening the wooden box, Wang Lei found three things in it: a stack of silver bills, an iron badge, and a letter at the bottom of the box.

Wang Lei hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to the stack of banknotes first. Although he still had some silver in his hand, it was not much, otherwise he would not have stayed in this small hotel that cost ten copper coins a day, so if he could get some unexpected money, he would be very happy!

And this stack of silver bills did not disappoint Wang Lei. Although the face value of a single silver bill was only five taels of silver, there were fifteen silver bills in this stack, so the total value was seventy-five taels of silver. With so much silver in the countryside, he could already become a small landlord. Even in a big city like Yijing, he could live comfortably for a while...

The only drawback is that this silver note is not from the Dadongsheng Bank, but from the Rishengchang Bank. Although the Dadongsheng Bank had been split up before, which had affected the reputation of the Dadongsheng brand to a certain extent, as the actual G-number of the Daqian court, the Dadongsheng Bank still has a very high reputation among the people!

Silver notes issued by Dadongsheng Bank can be used directly as cash as long as they are within the territory of Daqian.

Although Rishengchang Banknote House has a good reputation, its business is mainly concentrated in Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Shandong regions, and it is highly recognized by the public in these two regions. However, in Yijing, the recognition of Rishengchang Banknote House is not that high!
Although Rishengchang Bank also has a branch in Yijing, if you want to exchange it for cash in the branch, first you need to pay a certain handling fee, and secondly you need to wait for a while. Therefore, some high-end restaurants and teahouses in Yijing only accept silver bills from Dadongsheng Bank and are not willing to accept silver bills from Rishengchang!

However, it is already very good for Wang Lei to get silver bills at the moment. The silver bills from Dadongsheng are the best, but the silver bills from Rishengchang are also good!
After putting the banknotes safely in his arms, Wang Lei picked up the token. As soon as he turned over the token, he was attracted by the huge words "Tongdiao" on it.

After studying the token carefully for a while, Wang Lei discovered that it was a token of a hundred households of the Tongdiao Office. On the back of the token was his name, Wang Lei. The token was well made and very delicate, but the only pity was that it was a fake...

Although it was a fake centurion token of the Office of Coordination, he was already very satisfied with it. After all, the Office of Coordination was very famous outside. If they met ordinary people, they just needed to show the token and the other party would not dare to check the authenticity of the token carefully.

Such a token of the General Coordination Office will be of great benefit to his next plan, and may even affect his life and death!
After playing with the token carefully for a while, Wang Lei looked at the letter at the bottom of the wooden box. To him, these banknotes and the token of the Coordination Office were undoubtedly a valuable gift, so he was now looking forward to the contents of the letter even more!
Without hesitation, Wang Lei immediately opened the letter, took out the letter paper and read it. After reading the contents of the letter carefully, a look of disdain appeared on Wang Lei's face. He whispered with contempt:

"Jin Dao, you spineless bastard! Mr. Ye gave you a few bones, and you just stand here begging for mercy! You are truly a slave to three families! You are so shameless!

After spitting on the person who wrote the letter to him, Wang Lei simply lit a match and destroyed the letter in his hand.

After finishing all this, Wang Lei decided to take a nap as it was still early. He had not slept well this morning in order to wait for the carriage to appear. And he had to do something big tonight, so naturally he had to conserve his energy...
He slept until 15:00 in the afternoon. After waking up, Wang Lei ate something simple and then hurried to the alley where he had eaten fried dough sticks in the morning. Wang Lei sat in a secluded corner, looking at the intersection with great anticipation.

As time passed, there was no sign of the carriage at the intersection. Wang Lei began to get anxious and began to doubt his own judgment. He had been observing for half a month. In the past, this carriage left every day at 1:57 am and came back at 2:30 pm. Why was it different today?

Just as Wang Lei's frustration was gradually spreading, the carriage finally appeared in the distance at the intersection. Seeing this, a kind of joy of regaining what was lost also surged in Wang Lei's heart. He tried hard to calm his inner joy and kept his eyes on the carriage!

After half a cup of tea, the carriage drove in front of Wang Lei again from a distance. This time, Wang Lei did not hesitate and went straight to the wheel of the carriage. He wanted to possess the carriage to enter the heavily guarded place!

Wang Lei was very fast and his Qinggong was very good. He came to the side of the carriage in one step. Just when he was about to get under the carriage quietly, Wang Lei heard a sound of breaking air. Wang Lei had no time to think and just turned his head instinctively. A moment later, Wang Lei felt a burning pain on his face. The movement of his hands stopped immediately, and then Wang Lei fell to the ground...

Wang Lei, lying on the ground, looked at the carriage driving away with an expression full of disbelief. After a few seconds, he instinctively touched his cheek, then looked down and saw his hands were covered in bright red blood. Looking at the blood on his hands, Wang Lei's expression became a little dull.

Just when Wang Lei was still confused about what had happened, an old woman carrying a basket of vegetables passed by and saw Wang Lei lying on the ground with blood all over his face. She couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Young man! What happened to you? Did you fall?"

Wang Lei came back to his senses from his shock after hearing this, and waved to the old woman to indicate that he was fine. He then began to search the ground to see what had hurt him. Soon he found a silver needle on the ground not far from him!
In daily life, when a silver needle falls to the ground, nine times out of ten it will lie horizontally on the ground, but this time the silver needle was pierced into the ground. When Wang Lei saw this scene, he grabbed down, and a strong wind immediately hit the silver needle, but it was pierced into the ground and did not move at all.

Wang Lei had no choice but to squat down and pull out the silver needle with his hand. Only then did he realize that the silver needle had penetrated the ground more than half an inch. Wang Lei's heart was suddenly filled with astonishing waves. What kind of person could have such terrifying internal strength?

As Wang Lei thought about it, he felt relieved. He really didn't expect that the mistress named Ye actually had such a master by his side. Fortunately, he instinctively turned his head, otherwise the silver needle would have pierced his head and he would have died on the spot!
Although the carriage had disappeared without a trace on the road at this time, Wang Lei's expression changed as he looked at the direction where the carriage disappeared, but he finally turned around and left. Although in his opinion, this carriage was the best way to enter the Daqian Palace, he had already spent nearly half a month's time and energy on it!

But thinking back to the life-and-death moment just now, Wang Lei realized that he no longer had the courage to approach the carriage...

Erlunqin grassland, Daman grassland

Jirigel, with a very happy face, had just led his troops into the camp gate when he heard the voice of a guard.

"General! The old general wants to see you!"

Hearing that his father wanted to see him, Jirigel's expression was moved, and he immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, but at the moment he had no better way, so he could only follow the guards to the tent of his father Urgenbayar.

Although he had some bad premonitions, as soon as Jirigel entered the tent, he found that except for his father Urigen Bayar who was sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face, there was no one else in the tent. Seeing this, Jirigel's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and pat his chest to greet:
"Jizhigelu pays homage to his father!"

Hearing his son's voice, Urigen Bayar asked in a gloomy voice:

'Why did it take you seven days to reach Musan?'

Seeing his father ask this question, Jirigel immediately realized that his affairs might have been exposed, but at this moment he still held on to a glimmer of hope and said:
"I encountered a rainstorm on the road with my troops. Makhachev also led his troops to harass and block us on the road. It was very difficult for me to move forward..."

Before Jirigel finished speaking, Urigenbayar, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly jumped up, drew the scimitar from his waist, and put it on his son's neck and said sternly:

"Jizhigrad, you are lying to me! Makhachev doesn't have 30,000 troops, he only has a few thousand!"

Feeling the anger and kindness in his father's eyes, Jirigel was filled with fear, but he could only bite the bullet and say:

"Dad! I don't know who told you what, but my scouts reported that Makhachev has 30,000 troops!"

Wuzhigen Bayar continued coldly:
"Sekirahu violated Chasuna and beat up little Batu. I have no problem with you wanting to retaliate against him, but you shouldn't have interfered with this matter!"

"You will ruin the entire Luobi by doing this!"

"Dad, I don't know what you are talking about!"

Seeing that his son was still stubborn, Urigen Bayar directly ordered:
"Send it in!"

Following an order from Urigen Bayar, a wounded scholar in a long gown was escorted into the tent. Seeing the appearance of this scholar in a long gown, Jirigel's expression became very surprised. At the same time, Urigen Bayar said coldly:

"The last thing you should do is to join forces with Daqian to harm me, Luo Bei!"

Seeing that his father knew everything he had done, Jirigele simply stopped hiding it and said with his neck stiff:

"Dad, Ibugele can rely on Daqian to ascend to power, so why can't you? You have fought for Ibugele for decades, and your body is covered with scars, but what are you in the eyes of Ibugele and Dariyachi?"

"You are just an old dog, why don't we change all this! Live for ourselves..."
