Chapter 360 Double Agent

After Tong Guonai heard Tong Tuchang talk, he didn't expect Tong Tuchang to know much, nor did he believe that Tong Tuchang, a small businessman, could know much. If Tong Tuchang came up and talked about it, he would be suspicious.

Tong Guonai looked at Tong Tuchang and had a plan in his mind.

I have no choice but to deal with Li Chengdong now. This guy is just a turtle with a head-shrinking. No matter what, he is, he has no control to kill him. It just so happens that his tribe is from Guangdong, so why not let him set up a trap for Li Chengdong and let Li Chengdong believe that Tong Tuchang was sent by Emperor Shenwu to persuade him anyway. At that time, he has evidence that Li Chengdong wants to rebel and can kill him directly without the consent of General Zhengnan. Isn’t his 50,000 army his own?

Thinking of this, Tong Guonai thought that this plan was good. Of course, he didn't care about Tong Tuchang's life and death at all. He died and he would not lose any loss. If this guy was alive and didn't die, he would give him a small official.

After making a poisonous plan, Tong Guonai said, "Uncle, since you have accepted your marriage, don't go back to Guangdong. Let's be a seventh-rank senator first!"

Tong Tuchang cursed in his heart, "Seventh-grade? Uncle, I am the fifth-grade in Guangdong." When the Emperor Shenwu started, he was given a sixth-grade real shortage. He is much better than your seventh-grade senator.

However, Tong Tuchang didn't dare to show it in his face. He pretended to be overjoyed and quickly got up to salute and greeted the governor.

Tong Guonai nodded and continued, "Look, you, a white dick, were named the seventh rank as soon as you came. Many people in the yamen will definitely not accept it. However, I have an errand here. If you do this successfully, I can recommend you to be the fifth rank magistrate!"

Fifth rank? That's not the same as myself? I don't know what the errand was, Tong Tuchang quickly asked carefully: "I dare to ask what the errand is, villain, no, the subordinate will do his best to complete it!"

"Actually it's very simple. Do you know that Li Chengdong is also in Fuzhou City? I asked you to go to his place to be a spy and encourage him to rebel. If you want to do this successfully, it will be a great achievement!"

Tong Tuchang's first reaction after hearing this was that his identity was exposed, and this guy was testing himself. However, after observing that there was no movement around him. Logically speaking, he should have rushed out and cut himself into meat sauce at this time.

Tong Tuchang asked boldly: "Sir, how can Li Chengdong trust me?"

"Simple, just say you were sent by Emperor Shenwu of Guangdong and convinced him to rebel. It happened that the clan uncle lived in Guangdong for four years and was very familiar with the environment there, and was not afraid of any mistakes!"

"But Li Chengdong just killed Emperor Shenwu's wife. Can I agree to persuade him to surrender?"

Tong Guonai twisted his beard with his hands and said, "Of course it's a bit difficult. It's just that the uncle of the clan can convince the public. I'll send you to be the magistrate at that time!"

Tong Tuchang held back his joy and lowered his head and pretended to think for a while, looked up and asked, "Sir, I can go, but I want to ask you to guarantee something!"

After hearing Tong Tuchang agree to die, Tong Guonai was overjoyed and quickly asked what was going on!

"Sir, I go to Li Chengdong's mansion to be a spy. It is inevitable that I will say some bad things against my Qing Dynasty and the governor. Please don't take it to my heart!"

Tong Guonai shook his hand very much and said, "This is natural. I will notify the spies in Li Chengdong's family to fully cooperate with you!"

Damn, I didn’t expect that Tong Guonai had a spy in Li Chengdong’s mansion. Fortunately, he met this fellow villager, so he wouldn’t know how to die if he had gone to find Li Chengdong!

After thinking about it, Tong Tuchang continued, "Then the villain will agree to the adults and ask the adults to wait for my good news!"

Tong Guonai was overjoyed and said, "Okay, my uncle just came to Fuzhou and originally wanted to invite my uncle to have a meal, but now I have to offend him for a big deal. After the matter is completed, I will definitely ask for merit for my uncle!"

"Please rest assured, the officials must do this!"

"There are also clan uncles waiting for a while! Come and get a thousand taels of silver notes!"

After a while, the guards brought 1,000 taels of silver notes. Tong Guonai said, "I know it is difficult to get into Li Chengdong's mansion. These silver notes are used as activity funds and they will not come to get them again! There is also a bare card that can order the spies in Li Chengdong's mansion. They all have to obey the orders of the clan uncle!"

Unexpectedly, Tong Guonai was very generous and got a thousand taels before he could finish his work. Tong Tuchang, a wealthy fan, was overjoyed. After taking the silver note and waist card, he patted his chest and guaranteed to complete the errand work of the governor.

Tong Tuchang left the door and felt very strange. He didn't expect that he had become a double-faced spy. After thinking about it, Tong Guonai was not good to him, or he could stay here, but this idea was thrown out of his mind by Tong Tuchang. He knew very well what Zhu Hongsan in Guangdong looked like. He had his wife and children in Guangzhou. If he was trampling on his own, his wife would be taken to the Jiaofangsi to pick up customers. That bastard emperor Zhu Hongsan is very likely to be the first shot. Thinking of Zhu Hongsan's methods, Tong Tuchang was so scared that he shook his body. It was better to do the right way to deal with Zhu Hongsan's fault.

After a long talk at the Governor's Office, it was already dark and the city gates were closed. However, this was not a problem for Tong Tuchang now. The Han army flag soldiers guarding the gate immediately released their waist sign when they saw that it was the Governor's Office's waist sign.

It was already dark when he returned to the Hou family farm. Wang Xian and others were waiting anxiously at home. They lost Tong Tuchang on the first day, and Lord Qian really couldn't explain it. Just when Wang Xian and others were anxious, the person outside the door informed Lord Tong that he had returned.

Wang Xian and others quickly welcomed Tong Tuchang into the house and asked, "Sir, the city gate is closed now, how did you get out of the city?"

Tong Tuchang didn't say anything, took out his waist card and put it on the table.

Hou Zhen was shocked when he saw this waist card and said, "This is the waist card of the Governor's Office! How did you get it, Lord Tong?"

Tong Tuchang looked at the strange gazes of Wang Xian and others, and told everything he saw and heard this day without hiding it at all.

After hearing this, Wang Xian and others' expressions changed a lot. Who knew if this guy would turn against him and betray him all.

Tong Tuchang is also a person who has been around the world for a long time. When he saw Wang Xian and the others' expressions, he knew that they suspected themselves. He quickly said, "Don't worry, everyone, my wife and children are in Guangdong. I don't think about others, but also for my son. Can I still want my own son?"

Wang Xian felt relieved as soon as he said this, and that his wife and children were in Guangdong.

Wang Xian asked: "Why did you take this waist card!"

Tong Tuchang laughed and said, "The Qing governor wanted to kill Li Chengdong in order to fight for power and profit. Isn't this our opportunity? We can use it both sides and coerce Li Chengdong anyway!"

Wang Xian didn't expect that Tong Tuchang would be able to make friends with the governor of the Qing Dynasty, so that Li Chengdong's affairs would have a great success rate. Perhaps he would not have to kill his brothers and attack Li Chengdong's mansion.

Wang Xian made up his mind and was about to help Tong Tuchang first before talking. After Wang Xian decided, he asked, "Sir Tong, what are you going to do?"

"The next step is to enter Li Chengdong's mansion. I want to contact Princess Yuyang first. Lord Hou, how are you preparing there?"

Hou Zhen said: "Our people in Li's mansion are on duty the day after tomorrow and can bring the adults into the mansion at that time, but our people are just ordinary family members and cannot enter the back house. After entering, Lord Tong will take action by himself!"

Tong Tuchang said, "Okay, I will go to Li Chengdong's place in three days and get in touch with Princess Yuyang first, and then we will talk about the situation!"

Everyone discussed the details and then rested.

Three days later, Tong Tuchang got up early and rushed to the city with Hou Zhen. This time, they paid the city entrance fee again. The governor's yamen's waist card was very useful.

When he arrived at the Li Mansion in Zhuangyuan Lane in Dongcheng, the family member who was in contact came over and brought Tong Tuchang to the back of Zhuangyuan Lane, the corner gate on the back of the Li Mansion, here are some places to buy, transport grain, and enter and exit the family. Two guards guarding the gate stood outside the gate. Seeing someone coming, they asked, "Old Li, come and pull the water again? Who is this person?"

Lao Li said: "Two, my son is sick today. This is my brother. Come and help me today!"

The two guards seemed to be very familiar with Lao Li. After collecting Lao Li's two taels of silver, Tong Tuchang and the others were allowed to enter.

Entering the corner gate, this is the backyard kitchen. Old Li whispered: "There is only one hour. You will come back when the time comes, otherwise the guards will doubt it!"

Tong Tuchang nodded and asked, "Where is the back house?"

Old Li pointed to the moon gate on the east side with his hand and said, "Since you ask, turn left, and pass by the two yards, Li Chengdong is not at home today, so he goes to the military camp outside the city. There are very few guards in the mansion, so you should pay attention!"

Tong Tuchang nodded, looked at no one around, pushed open the moon gate and walked in.

Li Chengdong was a yard of a wealthy businessman, which was quite luxurious, but the size of the yard was not as large as that of Emperor Longwu’s palace. Tong Tuchang followed the way Lao Li pointed to quickly come to the back house.

Tong Tuchang lay on the window on the yard wall and looked inside. Near the wall was a bamboo forest. There was no one. Tong Tuchang jumped in with the window and was falling into the bamboo forest. Tong Tuchang didn't dare to move. He waited in the bamboo forest for a while and saw that no one was about to come out. He happened to meet a few people coming from the small path outside the bamboo forest.

Through the bamboo forest, Tong Tuchang saw two maids in front, followed by two people, and the one in the middle was Zhu Yuyang Princess Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu was robbed for more than half a year and had been married to Li Yuanyin for half a year. Zhu Yu was very satisfied with Li Yuanyin. Of course, Li Yuanyin was tall and brave, and had been knowledgeable about the theory, and had experienced baptism on the battlefield. It was comparable to those young teenagers in Guangdong. However, Zhu Yu was satisfied with his marriage, because he knew that Li Chengdong attacked Guangzhou and killed Ma Xiaofang. Zhu Yu knew his father's feelings for the queen. Ma Xiaofang's death made Li Chengdong and his father have no chance to ease, and he could only stay in Fujian forever and never see his mother and father again.
