Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 558

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Duke Qing frowned.

You have to know that the several large ships full of things that Cheng Yunshan took away were most of the assets of his Yan family.

"Did something unexpected happen?"

"That shouldn't be the case! Ever since the Yuhang Cao Gang was wiped out by the local pacification department, this route has been under our firm control."

"Plus, the people escorting us this time are all elite members of the Iron Palm Sect. It will be difficult for any force along the way to be able to compete with us."

"According to the information we've received so far, the Pacification Office and the Navy are strictly inspecting all shipping routes to prevent the infiltration of Japanese pirates."

"Manager Cheng, he must be afraid of being questioned, so he delayed it."

After Gao Teng finished speaking, Yan Peng nodded heavily and said, "Well, just in case, send someone to investigate further."

"understand!"

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Just as Gao Teng finished speaking, the sound of harsh and hurried footsteps came from far away.

"Father, I just received news..."

"There's a civil uprising in Taicang. The local garrison is busy suppressing it and definitely won't be able to get through tonight."

"Civil uprising?"

"Yes! It's still the famine. Plus, a sect called the Dark Moon Cult has emerged in the area. Their leader is called Tianxue or something. It's said he has immense magical powers."

"The rituals were performed, which deceived a group of unruly people. They attacked local grain merchants and warehouses."

Hearing this, Yan Peng said viciously: "Jia Tianxiang, that bastard, deserves to be killed by the Jinyiwei."

"Taicang is still the home of his old Jia family, and they have a virtual monopoly on grain. The price of grain has soared to 200 wen per dou."

"It ruined my plan."

"What about Zhangjiagang?"

"We will definitely arrive tonight."

"That's enough. Once the garrison at Zhangjiagang arrives, immediately blockade Qionglong Mountain."

"Don't let even a fly go."

"Yes!"

……

When Yan Peng was mobilizing his troops and returning to his base, each department also summarized the latest intelligence to Xu Shan.

"Sir, there was a civil uprising in Taicang, and the garrison was forced to stay behind to quell the rebellion."

After hearing Wu Jieyu's report, Xu Shan smiled calmly and said, "Sometimes, you have to admire the strength of Tianshi Luo Xianzi."

"The Dark Moon Sect, the Heavenly Blood. The Divine Machine Hub, the Heavenly Title Kuixing!"

"It's a bit of an overkill!"

"Sir, do you have a heart for talent?" Wang Qinian asked when the opportunity arose.

"Look at what you said. He is one of our brothers. We were ordered to suppress the rebellion and incorporate the Dark Moon Sect into the Inspection Department. We established the Dark Moon Pavilion. Tianxue, Xuanyueyu, and Yelin each took charge of a pavilion."

"understand!"

Pluck feathers from a passing goose!

I'll give you Suzhou Prefecture, but you have to keep these top talents in your pocket!

These brothers are the foundation of Xu Shan's future life.

"What about Zhangjiagang?"

"The garrison assembled this morning and is on the way."

"The officers and soldiers of Yingtian Prefecture stationed in Wuxi have already prepared a hole and are waiting for them."

"As long as the adults don't agree, they will never be able to enter Suzhou City in their lifetime."

After hearing this, Xu Shan nodded heavily.

"Where's Zhou Long?"

As Xu Shan finished his question, Wu Jieyu, who had received the confirmed information, excitedly said, "With the cooperation of the Ghost Pavilion and the Yuhang Pacification Office, Zhou Long and his subordinates successfully intercepted the fleeing Yongchang Trading Company's head treasury manager, Cheng Yunshan."

"Eight ships full of gold, silver and jewels. It is said that the brothers were dazzled by what they saw."

After he finished speaking, Xu Shan asked, "How many ships?"

"Ah? Eight ships."

"Sir, Wu Jieyu was mistaken. These are five large ships." Wang Qinian immediately responded.

"Is that right? Who would risk their lives for a few taels of monthly salary? The Inspection Office is so big, how can it operate without funding?"

"We can't always ask the Ministry of Revenue for everything, right? They won't give us anything either."

"Your Excellency is righteous!"

When Wang Qinian finished speaking, Zhang Liansong, who had realized it belatedly, suddenly said, "Sir, I have realized something."

"When you let Gao Teng go, you said something like, 'If God wants to destroy someone, he must first make him crazy.'"

"It's about forcing them to transfer their property. So they can have a backup plan and intercept them halfway?"

Hearing this, Wang Qinian patted Zhang Liansong on the shoulder and said, "We're just getting started."

"Tonight, the whole Suzhou belongs to us."

After Wang Qinian finished his domineering remarks, Xu Shan smiled and said, "Tell the officers and soldiers of Yingtian Prefecture to defeat the garrison at Zhangjiagang, then immediately rush to Suzhou to take over the city defense there."
