Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1606 Untitled 2
After hearing Huang Daqiang's story, Yang Tao and Wang Yu looked at each other, and then Yang Tao continued to ask:
"Do you know where this Huang Yong lives?"

"I don't know the details, but I happened to hear him say that he seemed to live in De Hutong in the south city of Yijing!"

Because Yang Tao himself lived in South City, he was quite familiar with the situation in South City. He thought quickly in his mind and asked:
"Is it Sande Hutong? Or Wude Hutong?"

"I really don't know about that, Mr. Captain! I just remember it was something like De Hutong, and I happened to hear him mention it, but he seemed to have lived there for several years, at least three years!"

"Do you know what Huang Yong does specifically?"

"Huang Yong collects mountain products and other things in the countryside and sells them in the city, and then buys needles and thread and other items from the city and sells them in the countryside!"

"According to you, Huang Yong is just a peddler walking around the streets?"

"That's what the detective said!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Tao looked at Huang Daqiang with some doubt, but seeing Huang Daqiang's face full of hatred and resentment, he did not ask more questions on this issue. After asking some other questions, he asked Wang Yu to take Huang Daqiang back to the cell.

At this time, Huang Daqiang took the initiative to speak:
"Master Constable, I didn't do anything! You have to make the decision for me! Yang Yong told me that spreading the rumor that the wooden dragon was causing trouble was a good thing. How can you arrest me for this?"

Yang Tao snorted coldly and said:
"You are spreading rumors and causing trouble! According to my Daqian laws, you must serve at least one year of hard labor. If your crime is serious, you will be beheaded, so just go back to your cell and stay there..."

Huang Daqiang became anxious when he heard Yang Tao say this. However, before he could say anything else, another constable, Wang Yu, directly escorted him out of the interrogation room.

After finishing the interrogation, Yang Tao immediately rushed to South City with two constables. After achieving his life goal of becoming the chief constable, Yang Tao felt that he had no regrets in his life, so he originally wanted to lie down. However, after the incident of Mu Long's mischief came to light, it also attracted the attention of the prefect Bai Changjiu!

Bai Changjiu summoned hundreds of detectives under the Yijing government office and asked them to thoroughly investigate the matter and find the mastermind behind it. Bai Changjiu said that whoever made a contribution in this matter would be rewarded heavily by the government office, but whoever was slack in this incident would be severely punished by the government office!

Yang Tao secretly felt unlucky that he had just become the chief constable and encountered such an emergency only a few days ago, but he had no choice but to investigate it with all his might!

Therefore, after catching the old monk who spread the rumor that the wooden dragon was causing trouble last night, Yang Tao immediately began to interrogate him as soon as he arrived at the yamen today.

The result of the interrogation was not surprising to Yang Tao. In his opinion, this old man was just a small fry who worked there. It was difficult for him to know too much. What he had to do was to unravel the mystery and find his superior first, and then see if he could get more valuable information from him...
Therefore, Yang Tao was already very satisfied to learn about Huang Yong's existence and his approximate address from Huang Daqiang.

Yang Tao was a native of Yijing and also a constable in the Yijing government office. He could be said to be a local tyrant in Yijing. So even though there were hundreds of alleys of all sizes in Yijing, Yang Tao knew without even looking that there were nine alleys with the word "De" in their names, namely Yide Hutong, Erde Hutong, and so on from one to nine.

Among these nine alleys, only Sande Hutong and Wude Hutong are located in the south city. Although it is not known where Huang Yong lives exactly, these two alleys are not too big. Yang Tao believes that as long as he looks carefully, he will be able to find Huang Yong soon!

Yang Tao first came to Sande Hutong. While chatting with the uncles and aunts in the alley, Yang Tao learned that there was a family with the surname Huang in this alley, but the head of the household was not named Huang Yong, but Huang Guoqing. Huang Guoqing was not a peddler who walked the streets, but a blacksmith at the Yijing Third Steel Plant.

After learning the news, Yang Tao also came to Wude Hutong. During the chat with the uncles and aunts, Yang Tao learned that there was indeed a peddler named Huang Yong living in a large courtyard west of Wude Hutong, but Huang Yong had not returned for some time!

When Yang Tao heard the news, he immediately had a bad feeling, but still, under the guidance of an old lady, he walked into the compound where Huang Yong lived.

This is a typical Yijing compound, with three families living in the courtyard. When a man in police uniform walked into the yard, a woman who was washing clothes with her son in the yard also looked very nervous...

Yang Tao walked up to the woman and asked:

"I'm Yang Tao, the head of the Yijing Prefecture. I'm here to look for Huang Yong. Do you know where Huang Yong is?"

The woman shook her head and said:
"Master Constable, I don't know where Huang Yong has gone. He hasn't been back for several days. Look, his door is locked!"

After saying that, the woman pointed to the east wing of the courtyard. Seeing this, Yang Tao also came to the door of the east wing. Looking at the lock on the door, Yang Tao did not hesitate at all. He immediately drew out the sword at his waist, cut off the lock with one knife, and then pushed open the door.

Yang Tao walked into the room and observed the situation inside. There was only a bed, a chair, a cabinet, and not even a table. There were also some peanuts, melon seeds, mushrooms, wild vegetables and other things on the floor.

The whole house looked very simple, but it was consistent with Huang Yong's identity as a peddler who walked the streets.

Yang Tao looked around the room and started searching on the bed. However, to his disappointment, there was nothing valuable on the bed except a slightly yellowed quilt.

Seeing this, Yang Tao was not discouraged and directly ordered the two followers behind him:

"You two, look around the house too!"

"Yes!"

After searching for about a cup of tea, Yang Tao accidentally found something in the pile of dried mushrooms on the ground. He walked over and picked up the thing. It turned out to be a jade pendant. The workmanship of the jade pendant was very delicate, but it looked a little different from the jade pendants worn by normal people...
After a careful inspection, Yang Tao seemed to realize something, and a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes when he looked at the jade pendant.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then under Yang Tao's gaze, several capable men in plain clothes walked into the room.

The leader of these people was a bald man who looked to be about 30 years old. He looked at Yang Tao and others who were searching the room with a very surprised look on his face, but he spoke in a stern voice:

"Who are you?"

Hearing that these people dared to ask him questions after seeing him in the uniform of a government constable, Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, but he soon reacted and looked at these men in plain clothes with some hostility and said, "You are blind! Can't you see the clothes on the master!"

Yang Tao had a bad temper, and the bald man opposite him had an even worse temper. He waved his hand and ordered:

"Take them down!"

As the bald man finished speaking, several strong men behind him rushed towards Yang Tao and the other two constables. Seeing this, Yang Tao was even more confused. The public security in Yijing has always been very good in recent years. Although there are still some gangsters and petty thieves, when they see the constables, they run away like mice seeing cats, and dare not confront the constables at all!
Yang Tao hasn't encountered a situation like this in many years where the police wanted to arrest the police instead of running away!
Although he was surprised at how daring they were, Yang Tao reacted quickly when facing the strong men rushing over. He knocked them to the ground in two or three moves. Seeing this, the bald man suddenly changed his mind and tried to run, but he was knocked to the ground by Yang Tao's punch just after he took a step...

After dealing with these people, Yang Tao clapped his hands with some pride. Although these people were arrogant, their martial arts skills were poor. They all fell down as soon as he exerted force.

Just when Yang Tao was feeling proud, he discovered that the bald man, although he was knocked down by him, was still not afraid at all. Instead, he glared at him angrily. Seeing this, Yang Tao slapped him without hesitation and asked:
"Who are you?"

Although he was slapped by Yang Tao again, the bald man still looked down on Yang Tao and said:

"Kill me if you dare, you bastard!"

After saying that, the bald man spat at Yang Tao provocatively. Seeing him so arrogant, the two followers Yang Tao brought with him immediately wanted to show their loyalty in front of Yang Tao, the chief constable who had just taken over. They started cursing and not only wanted to curse but also planned to take action!
But at this moment, seeing the bald man so arrogant, Yang Tao seemed to realize something, and immediately started to check the bald man. Soon he found a token on the bald man's body.

Looking at the words "Coordination Office" on the token, Yang Tao and the two detectives were all stunned. Then Yang Tao looked at the bald man with some confusion and said:
"Since you are from the Coordination Office, why did you attack us?"

In response to Yang Tao's question, the bald man said nothing, but the smile on his face became more disdainful and arrogant.

If he had seen him like this just now, Yang Tao swore that he would punch this bastard in the face, but now he had to remain restrained and calm...

Erlunqin Grassland Luobi Royal Court

Dariyachi, Gao Shen, Urgenbayar, Xun Ke, Jirigel and others were gathered together for a meeting.

The atmosphere at the party was a little dull at first, but soon Jirigel broke the silence. He looked at Dana who was standing behind Daryachi and asked:

"Danna, you are in charge of the scouts, how did you find the Cumans?"

Jirigel's question also attracted the attention of everyone present to Dana.

Facing everyone's gaze, Dana also felt a huge pressure, and after a moment of hesitation, he began to speak:
"According to our latest information, Habib seems to have led his troops back to the city of Lesa!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room showed surprised expressions, but only Dariyachi's expression did not change at all, as if he had known the news a long time ago. Xun Ke looked at Gao Shen and asked:

"General Dana, are you serious?"

Dana smiled bitterly and nodded:
"This news was sent back by our spies in Lesa. We are currently verifying the accuracy of this news from many aspects!"

Jirigel said with some ease after hearing this:
"So the Cumans are withdrawing their troops?"

Dana hesitated for a moment and said:
“That’s what it looks like at the moment!”

After seeing Dana give a confirmed answer, Gao Shen and Xun Ke, the only two Daqian people present, looked at each other, and Gao Shen said:
"So this war is over..."

Before Gao Shen could finish his words, Dariyachi interrupted him impatiently:
"I don't agree with that! This war is far from over!"

Dariyachi's words also drew everyone's attention to him. Gao Shen frowned and asked:
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"Master Gao, my point is very simple. Why can the Cumans fight when they want to and not fight when they want to? They started this war, but they should not have the final say on how to end it!"

"Then I wonder what you are going to do, Your Highness?"

Facing Gao Shen's question, Dariyachi met Gao Shen's gaze without any concealment and said with a very firm expression:
"I want to conquer the Golden Horde!"

Dariyachi's words were powerful, and the people in the room who heard him had different expressions. Gao Shen and Xun Ke exchanged glances again, and then Xun Ke said:

"Your Highness, the order His Majesty gave me was to help you repel the Golden Horde, not to help you conquer the Golden Horde!"

Upon hearing this, Dariyachi turned to look at Xun Ke and said:

"General Xun, we all know that the Cumans will not give up. The reason they are retreating now is because of your arrival. Habib's idea is to drag you away, and then he will attack us!"

"So the situation now is very simple. We have to knock Khabib down. Only in this way will he not dare to go beyond the line!"

“Your Highness! The order given to me by His Majesty the Emperor does not include conquering the Golden Horde. I’m sorry that the soldiers of Daqian and I cannot overstep our authority…”
