[Chapter 653 Seems to be but not another battle of wits]

Chapter 653 Seemingly But Not Fighting Wisdom Again

When Hu Liang tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep, there were also a group of people on the bank of the canal who were very uneasy.

After they got on the boat from Huliang, they started to follow along the way. They walked by land and along the river. quick.

But the people they follow are riding horses. People can go without food for a long time, or eat and drink on horseback. If the riding skills are good enough, sleeping on horseback is not a problem.

But as horses, they couldn’t bear it. Sleeping standing up and rushing on the road were two different things. After running with the boat for a day, the horses only rested for more than half an hour.

At night, the horses obviously couldn’t bear it anymore. The small team of seven people appeared to be merchants, with horses and carriages. What was on the carriage was difficult for outsiders to see, and was covered with cloth.

When half a moon climbed high, finally a horse couldn’t take it anymore. Not very fast, but without much rest, it fell down with foam at the mouth. After a ‘bang’, it couldn’t get up again. Come.

“No way, we can’t continue to follow, otherwise the horse will be exhausted, so let’s not think about it.” A man who was riding on the horse just now was lying on the ground at this time. It is already warmer than the capital. Many, not only the weeds sprouted two inches on the river bank, but the nearby trees also sprouted.

The speaker just happened to be lying on the grass, pressing the grass a lot, panting, not knowing whether he was tired from riding, or was just thrown.

“Third brother, it’s sunny today, it’s better for you to get up quickly so as not to catch a cold. The eighth brother is also true. After getting on the boat, he will find a way to inquire about the news, and then pass it on to us. So far, I see him on the boat. Playing with others on the deck, but no news came back, I really don’t know what he thought.”

Another person said to the person lying on the grass.

The lying man propped up his upper body with his arms, glanced at the fleet of brightly lit fleets that were still speeding downstream, and said, “Fifth brother, I think it’s because the eighth brother has his own difficulties. Have we said it?

If he can’t pass the news, it means that he is in a bad situation. Let’s be careful, be careful, be careful. It’s better if the people who follow can take turns, and don’t be stared at. At the same time, don’t send telegrams, just wait and see if the eighth brother will send us a message tomorrow, if so, it means that the eighth brother is very dangerous.”

“Wait,

wait, I also want to wait when I get there. , the question is whether the person who sent us can still be willing to wait, when our task is not completed, we should be punished when we go back.”

The person who was called the fifth brother by the person lying before was not very happy, seeing that he couldn’t chase after him. When I got up, I had to grit my teeth and squeeze the words out of my mouth word by word.

Another person also followed his words and said: “The fifth brother said that the eighth brother is not smart enough to do things well, maybe he really forgot, we should send the news back as soon as possible.

Sometimes, the more I think it’s dangerous, but it’s actually safer. If you don’t spread the news and delay things, you and I can’t bear the guilt. I agree with sending telegrams.”

“What about the others?” A silent person glanced at the remaining six people. asked.

“I agree, I disagree, and I agree…” The other six said unevenly.

At the last look, there were three for Telegram, three against Telegram, and it all fell back to the questioner.

The man paused and said, “Well, since that’s the case, I also agree with sending telegrams. The eighth brother is timid, saying that the telegrams we send are easy for people to intercept. People will inevitably strengthen the prevention and censorship of every telegram.

In the current situation, there is a big possibility that we will be violent, but I think it is impossible. The obvious words, but the price of local products such as various grains and meat is specially conveyed to other places.

Can the person in charge of the review still have to make a judgment that we are behind the scenes against the prices we send out every time?

”

I agree with Big Brother’s proposal. Sending a report is better than not being able to keep up with the other party’s speed now. No matter if the eighth brother encounters a problem or he forgot to contact us, we must report the matter truthfully.”

The

fifth one who spoke just now voiced his support. The

third one looked at the second brother and saw that the second brother was indistinguishable. He sighed and said, “Four votes to three votes, if that’s the case, then find a place to send it.” Report it.

The

second child, who didn’t speak, made a sound at this moment, and suggested: “If we send a telegram, we should go to buy more goods first, so that people can see that we are real businessmen, not spies.”

”

With the decision, the seven people also paid attention to the fact that they were still walking along the road in the middle of the night, knocking on the roadside people’s family names, especially in places like small shops. I bought the planted things, which enriched the goods in the convoy.

Then, before dawn, I immediately found a place where I could send a telegram. Usually, the place where I could send a telegram would not rest for twelve hours, unless there were special circumstances. , otherwise, if others have urgent matters, they may not be able to deliver the news

in time. When the telegraph sounded, the seven people could no longer see the fleet of Xiaobei and others heading south along the canal.

Those seven people did not rest, Instead, he sent a telegram, which prevented Zhang Xiaobao from having a good rest.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Zhang Xiaobao, who was sleeping soundly with Wang Juan in his arms, was woken up by the movement outside the cabin, so he casually put on some clothes and closed the cabin door. When

I opened it, I saw people in the inner courtyard waiting at the door, looking a little anxious.

“Young Master, Hu Liang’s accomplices have been found. They sent a dish to Jiangzhou just half an hour ago this evening. price quotation, you can see.

“The

inner courtyard was talking and handed the information to Zhang Xiaobao.

When he took it over, Zhang Xiaobao showed a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded to the people in the inner courtyard, and said, “Keep staring, you dare to play this trick with us, you really underestimate us, wait until they continue to generate electricity. Report, you collect it, compare it several times, and try to decipher the key algorithm.” The

hospital agreed, turned around and trotted away.

“Xiaobao, what’s the matter? They used secret electricity?” Wang Juan also woke up and asked, rubbing his eyes.

“I’ve used it. It’s a good idea to report the price of vegetables to other places, but it’s rather stupid. You said that the rice in any place can be sold for seven cents a pound. This is obviously a set of high-number corresponding codes.

That’s good, If the people in Jiangzhou keep up, don’t even try to run away, even if we can’t crack it, we can still follow the vine and find the other party’s secret telegram copy.”

Zhang Xiaobao shook the telegram in his hand twice and said to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan listened and lay down again, muttering: “Don’t worry, Jiangzhou will not be able to send an order for one price to the other party tonight, there are still a few hours to arrange time, even if the other party finds out from the telegram The situation is not right, there is no chance to run away, go to sleep.”

Xiaobei naturally got the information, and after listening to the analysis of the person in charge of the matter in the inner court, Xiaobei took the information and slept well.

When it was dawn the next day, when Hu Liang was planning to wash up again and go to eat, the inner courtyard that led the way came up with the information paper in his hand and said to Hu Liang: “Master Hu, yesterday we In

the evening, I received a telegram message from someone else, oh, it was interception.

The content was a quotation for vegetables, fruits, and grains, etc. We didn’t notice it at first, but seven cents a pound of rice is too expensive. , the price of rice was more than three times the normal price.

Some of us joked that the person who sent the telegram had a brain problem. How could he find such expensive rice within a thousand miles of the river? If you don’t believe it, take a look. Isn’t it very interesting?”

While speaking, the inner court handed over the telegram.

Hu Liang didn’t wait to read the contents of the telegram, but only listened to the words of the inner courtyard. For a moment, it was as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue.

He took the telegram blankly and looked at the contents above. Hu Liang exhaled softly and slowly closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them again and asked, “How did you find out?”

“We have A special group of people is responsible for pondering encryption and decryption. The means you use are too simple. We will not be as laborious as you to deliver the message. We will directly deliver a group of numbers or letters, and then restore it.

Tell me, what is the content of the telegrams sent by the five of them? I believe you know that in Jiangzhou, no matter who receives the telegram, they will not be able to escape our surveillance. I will give you a chance to make meritorious service. We are satisfied, you can still I saw your family.”

Neiyuan explained a little, looked at Hu Liang’s expression, and asked.

Hu Liang nodded in frustration and asked, “You promise to let me go? Let me live a normal life?”

“As long as your answer is useful to us, nothing is impossible.” The inner court made an uncertain decision. guarantee.

“Okay, I said, what was written above is that they found out that my actions failed, and told the people in Jiangzhou not to act rashly, it is best to hold back for a while, and don’t make any reaction when Xiaobei passes by. , Hide in the dark, don’t be violent.

But I estimate that the people in Jiangzhou may not completely listen to the five of them, and will still send dead men to assassinate Xiaobei, instead of leaving no trace, the rest of me I can’t guess, unless you can come up with new information, I can help analyze it.”

Hu Liang looked like he had lost his fighting spirit. The gap, stunned.

The inner court nodded and said to it, “Okay, I will report it truthfully. As long as you sincerely repent, you will still have a new life.”

After speaking, the inner court left, and several other people were responsible for ‘protecting’ Hu Liang. , do not let it appear any ‘danger’.

The inner court who got the information found Xiao Bei and others again, shook his head and said, “He still didn’t tell the truth. I said that they had five accomplices, and he followed my words. It seems that the management of this organization is very strict. Even if they found the recipients of the other party’s intelligence in Jiangzhou, they could not find out their roots.

Also, I judged that they did not know that we were going to Jiangzhou. If there was an ambush, it was probably in Hangzhou, otherwise Hu Liang will not emphasize the assassination of Jiangzhou, he got the information from the maids in our inner courtyard yesterday and the night before.”

Xiaobei’s nine children looked at each other, and nodded at the same time very tacitly, Xiaobei said: “It’s fun, it seems that Hu Liang is not an ordinary person. Tell my brother and sister, let’s speed up and not give each other too much time to react.”

After this incident, the speed of Xiaobei’s fleet suddenly accelerated , Hu Liang could no longer hear any useful news from the words of the maid next door. As a result, on the third night of his arrival on the ship, he lost sleep again.

The three days passed quickly and slowly with the wind blowing and the clouds moving.

As expected in Jiangzhou, the person who received the information did not immediately contact other people. It was a fù person, to be precise, an old woman.

She owns two houses and a small courtyard where the seeds have just been sown. The recipient of the telegram was her, and she added a sentence for her to pass it on to her son.

Of course, the intelligence officers of the Zhang and Wang families were unable to find out her true identity, let alone her son. The only record was the household registration in the local government, and her surname was also Hu.

She has three sons, Hu Da, Hu Er and Hu San, but the household registration does not record anything in her family, so it is difficult to figure out whether her son exists or not.

For three days, the old woman surnamed Hu has been living a very regular life every day. In the morning, when the sun is shining, she will get up and shake a bucket of water from the well to wash herself, and then go to the soup cake restaurant outside to eat a bowl of noodles, UU to read a book. www.

sonicmtl.com Then I walked slowly by a small local river.

At noon, go to another restaurant to eat a bowl of wontons, continue walking by the river in the afternoon, and at night, find a food stall on the street, buy two steamed buns, and make her own when she gets home. Eat pickles.

In this way, there is no change in the slightest. The people who are watching have never seen anyone visit her, and she never talks to others. The only time she can hear her talk a lot is when she is walking by the river, tired of walking, Sitting there leaning against a big tree, muttering at the inaudible words spoken by the flowing river.

The news quickly reached Zhang Xiaobao’s boat.

After Li Longji read it, Mí was confused and asked, “Xiaobao, did you stare at the wrong person?”

Zhang Xiaobao chuckled and replied: “If she is not like this, then it is possible to stare at the wrong person, she is too It’s regular, but it’s not normal, Cuckoo, are you familiar with it?”

“Familiar.” Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao’s question, nodded and said, “Order, send someone to watch that tree for me, and go quietly at night. Take a look, but don’t make a fuss, and let me watch all the houses around.” @.
