Chapter Eight hundred and forty-four: Concealing the sky and crossing the sea
But later on, Liu Han realized that something was wrong.
After Liu Han's careful observation, he found that General Tseng was most likely not in Lang Son.
Not in Lang Son!
Thinking of this possibility, Liu Han was sweating profusely.
If it weren't for Lang San, that would be fine, but why did Tseng Ce Mansion release smoke bombs and why did it deliberately hide its whereabouts? There is only one explanation. They must have a plan to hide the truth from the world.
As Ma Yu's confidant, Liu Han is certainly not an incompetent person. He immediately began to guess where Hao Fenglou was going, whether he was going to Guangdong?
No, it cannot be Guangdong. If you go to Guangdong to supervise the war, there is really no need to hide it, then... where else can you go?
Liu Han thought of a possibility, and he immediately called someone. The man was named Chen Shuang and worked as an updater near Tiance Mansion. He was usually elusive and a man of 40 years old and had a simple face. Who would have thought that this man was also a captain of the Jinyiwei?
Chen Shuang is on duty at night and sleeps during the day. Today, Liu Han invites him to come. He has not been asleep for a night and is already dizzy and is coming over with sleepy eyes.
Both of them sat down, both sighing.
In fact, the situation here is very miserable, because the organization of the Lang Son Army is extremely strict, and the military intelligence department has repeatedly inspected and carefully, the Jinyiwei lurking here is like a leek, cutting one after another.
1,w▽, on the one hand, it is usually cautious, but cautious means that many intelligence distortions are very easy to be misled by Lang Son's smoke bombs. On the other hand, they have not entered the core of Lang Son, such as Liu Han and Chen Shuang, one is doing small business and the other is an updater. Of course, no one will doubt them. However, once they enter the army or the core of the royal palace, they are very likely to be investigated by the Military Intelligence Department. If you are not careful, you will be exposed.
The titles of these two people are not low among the Jinyiwei. One is the name of a thousand households, and the other is a hundred households. If he is in the capital, it will be considered as five or six people. He lives a leisurely and happy life. He is born here, staring at him with big eyes and sighing. This life is not easy. He is usually worried and afraid, but he still lives like a dog.
"Chen Baihu, a few days ago, a fleet of ships was released from Haifang Port. Is there anything wrong with this?"
"There are a large number of fleets entering and leaving every day in Haifang Port, probably nothing is wrong. In the past two years, I don't know how many soldiers have transported ships of military horses to Guangdong..."
"No, I mean, did they go to Guangdong or elsewhere."
"Where can I go if I don't go to Guangdong?"
"The problem is here. A month ago, a fleet went to sea. There were hundreds of large and small soldiers, including big and lucky ships, warships, and grain ships. This fleet alone had a number of people and horses. Our analysis in the past was that they had gone to Guangdong. But now, it may not be."
“Mr. Qianhu means…”
Liu Han narrowed his eyes and finally squeezed out words from his mouth: "I see, the thief Hao Fenglou left with the ships."
"What... no, it's impossible. I heard that Hao Fenglou goes to Tiance Mansion to do business every day. You read that newspaper..."
"I'll ask you, who has ever seen Hao Fenglou's true body?"
Chen Shuang stopped talking.
Liu Han continued: "Hao Fenglou has always been a stunning person. Although he has guards when traveling, he always travels, but every time he travels, he is protected so tightly that he cannot even get close to ordinary people within a hundred steps. Isn't this a strange thing? Moreover, although Hao Fenglou's whereabouts were reported in the newspapers, most of these whereabouts were reported by Lang Sang newspapers. This Lang Sang newspaper is the Hao family's own newspaper. Most of the other newspapers reprinted the information, but why did other newspapers not find out at all? At first, I didn't care, but after thinking about it these days, I compared many newspapers and found a problem. I think Hao Fenglou really went out to sea."
Chen Shuang frowned and said, "Sir, what are you doing when Hao Fenglou goes out to sea for no reason?"
"The problem is here. He went out for no reason and was also concealed by the truth. Of course, it is impossible to just go to Guangdong. If he just goes to Guangdong, why should he hide the news? So I think there must be a plot here, maybe he wants to attack..."
Chen Shuang couldn't help but feel shocked and interrupted Liu Han and said, "Sir, are you talking about the southeast coast!"
"Yes, the imperial court set up heavy troops at the Songjiang Port. Could it be that where to attack?"
Chen Shuang shook his head and said, "There are 100,000 Japanese soldiers and tens of thousands of imperial horses there. It is solid. In fact, a fleet must be equipped with supplies and transport so many people. The full amount of battle is only more than 20,000. Even this little man dares to touch the stone with eggs?"
When Liu Han heard this, he felt it was quite reasonable. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "That's even more strange. The thief's movements are unknown. If there is any abnormality, it will be a monster. You must find out this matter. You should try your best to inquire in Tiance Mansion and confirm the whereabouts of Hao Fenglou. As for my official..." Liu Han sighed and continued, "It seems that he must immediately report to the court. No matter what, he should have a warning. Let's see how Lord Ma dealt with it."
Chen Shuang smiled bitterly in her heart and said that, if Hao Fenglou really had any conspiracy, he had moved more than a month ago, and now the warning is probably too late. However, he also understood Liu Han's thoughts. If there was anything wrong with this matter, the Jinyiwei here would not be able to explain it at all. No matter when the news was sent, at least it would be less likely to be relieved.
Speaking of this, Chen Shuang couldn't help but say, "Sir, some words are not said or not. We call them spy here, but they are actually useless things. What's the use of sending us here? The thief army is as quiet as a virgin and moving as if they are out of the rabbit. Once they move, we will report the letter, and it's too late. I really don't know when we can go back to Beijing and stay here. I'm worried and afraid day and night. A few months ago, General Zhou was arrested. Going forward, a few brothers were executed directly. Fortunately, I'm cautious and tried to contact them as little as possible. Don't contact them directly. Otherwise, we would have been uprooted by the Military Intelligence Department. I hope that when will the commander remind us of the sufferings of our brothers here and be kind..."
Liu Han was even more helpless and shook his head and said, "It's useless to say that these things are useless. Let's do your part. Life and death are just fate. What's hateful is that Zeng Jian and others have already fled to Lang San, but now these old Shangguans are all working in the military intelligence department of the thief army. They know us well and the bottom of it is our biggest concern."
