?? In the early morning, Yuwen Wen fulfilled his promise to his wife Yuchi Chifan: to wake up with you in the morning. Although the two of them were lingering all night, they woke up at the same time in the morning. Yuwen Wen developed a habit because of military life, while Yuchi Chifan was thinking about his son.

The two spent the night at Wuweizhai, and the new environment naturally had good interest, but they still had to be busy with things they should be busy with. As soon as they finished breakfast, Yuwen Wen had to deal with it.

"It's not them?" Yuwen Wen was a little surprised. The leader of the guard Zhang Dingfa nodded. He said that he was going to Wuweizhai last night to be in charge of the person who wanted to do something wrong, which was unexpected, and it was not the expected "Ye Xiao".

Yuwen Wen went to Wuweizhai to talk about things and stayed overnight yesterday, for both business and private matters, not only for the sake of deepening the relationship between the wife, but also for the purpose of attracting the snake out of the hole.

The snake was caught when it came, but it was not someone from his father-in-law Yang Jian. According to Zhang Dingfa's overnight interrogation, the two assassins came from Jiangnan, and their purpose was very direct: to kill Yuwen Wen.

The reason is very simple. Yuwen Wen made the land of Chen State in Yingzhou in Jiangnan "drunk" and the Chen State who had been defeated continuously and could not do anything to him. The young and energetic general of Chen Army could not bear this tone and spent money to hire people to assassinate "this beast" in Xiyang.

"Since that's the case, keep watching the matter of 'Ye Xiao'." Yuwen Wen was unhappy, with more and more enemies, and he thought that more and more assassins would be going to attack in the future, but what he cared about the most was the 'Ye Xiao' on Yang Jian's side.

Zhang Dingfa nodded. He set up a big net last night but failed to catch the main owner. However, it was good to get rid of a big problem. It was because of the record last night that proved that his suspicious defense measures were indeed necessary.

As a former boss of the bandit, Zhang Dingfa has experienced many things, so in his opinion, ordinary people seem to be full of dangers in their peaceful life. Sometimes it is not that some people don’t want to do it, but you are not qualified to do it.

However, a small mechanism used by the assassin last night made Yuwen Wen quite interested. The other party used some methods to achieve the effect of the flash bomb. The thing is gone, and it cannot be studied. However, Yuwen Wen guessed that it might be the original fire medicine and some "material".

Similar to those magical poisons in history, Yu Wenwen judged that it was a common "highly toxic" reagent in later chemical laboratories. Not to mention anything else, just taking "three acids and two alkalis" is astonishing as the oral effect.

The various reagents and compounds produced by ancient alchemy and alchemy should be the prototypes of magical medicines and poisons, but there is no systematic theory, and it is inevitable to be divided by the master and apprentice's passing on from generation to generation, so Yuwen Wen did not intend to study this kind of "flash bomb".

However, from this incident, we can see how old Zhang Dingfa was. The assassin's "flash bullet" shattered the guards' eyes. Thanks to Zhang Dingfa's knowledgeable and used an eye mask to solve the problem of blinding eyes.

In the Age of Discovery in Later Age, the classic image of the pirate captain was the one-eyed dragon, but not everyone was blind. It is said that wearing an eye mask can ensure vision in both environments.

When the enemy and us were fighting fiercely, they switched to the dim cabin on the bright deck. The human eyes had brief blindness because they had to adapt to the change of light and dark environment. When they rushed to the dim cabin, they lifted up their eye masks, and the covered eye could immediately adapt to the dim environment.

The moment of hesitation between close forces will lose his life. Whether it is the pirate captain or the horse bandit leader, in order to survive in the life of licking blood from the knife, all kinds of fantasy ideas emerge one after another.

"Prepare the car and go home." Yuwen Wen ordered the servants to prepare the carriage. As for the snake that did not come out of the hole, he asked Zhang Dingfa to continue to "follow up".

His cheap father-in-law Yang Jian sent several groups of people to Xiyang. The first few batches have been removed. Later, they should be masters among the masters. There are signs that they are lurking in Xiyang City, but they can't find them no matter how they look for them.

I originally thought of hiring the snake out of the hole and catching it all in one go, but I didn't expect that the one I caught was not a cobra but a bamboo leaf green. The movement last night seemed to be alarming the snake, and the lurking "Ye Xiao" would probably be more cautious.

Or if he waited for a certain time to attack before he was ripe, Yuwen Wen probably should have waited for the Sui army to attack the states in Shannan. When the troops were at the city, the group of people secretly supported him. The primary goal was to kill him and keep Yang Lihua's safety.<>

Yuwen Wen doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. Yang Lihua is already his woman, so no one can get rid of it. But what's interesting is that he discovered a situation: the cheap father-in-law and the cheap mother-in-law seem to be hiding the "truth" between each other.

Both of them knew that Yang Lihua was by his side, but they were all acting separately. I think they were worried about each other's "tears falling" after they knew the truth. If they sent troops to attack Shannan, they would be furious if they rushed him to the wall and fled south.

Yuwen Wen did not want to become an official and wandered in Jiangnan. Besides, Chen's Chen family was not a good man. In history, this man, who was still interested in order to entrust the general's wife to enter the palace to "stay overnight" when the Sui army was at the city. He was really the master who loved beauty but not the country.

All his wives and concubines are beautiful in the country. As long as he lives under someone else's roof, he will not be able to save any of them. Men from ancient times, today, both in China and abroad are similar, and they are tireless in their pursuit of power and beauty, so he will never let this happen.

......

In the residence of Xiyang County Duke, Yu Wen Wen was listening to the report in the study. As soon as he returned to the mansion, Yu Chi Chifan left him to find his son. Yu Wen Wen was disappointed and had nothing to do after long.

"Mr. Lang, this is the list of price fluctuations last month." The butler Li Sanjiu handed a roll of paper to Yuwen Wen. In addition to the "Butler", he was also responsible for other tasks. First, he supervised the words and deeds of the people in and outside the courts of the government, and secondly, he managed the eyes and ears of the Xiyang County Duke's Mansion.

"Is there anything unusual?" Yuwen Wen asked, Li Sanjiu shook his head and said no. The rumors about Wuweizhai are gradually no longer paying attention to them. At least no one believes that Wuweizhai is rumored to take babies to cook.

However, rumors spreading rumors about Yuwen Wen likes to eat human flesh and is extremely lustful, and rumors such as forcing the robbery of the people into the mansion are still rampant. According to analysis, these are the results of Chen Jun, a Jiangnan who deliberately spread it.

"How many detailed works have you caught?" Yu Wen Wen rubbed the sun helplessly, saying that he was lustful, but he was too lazy to use the rumor template "forced robbery of a private girl into the mansion".

For him, this forced robbery of a woman is a slander. All wives and concubines in the family are as beautiful as immortals, so there is no need to force robbery of a woman. <>

"There are 18 people in total, and three people have been captured this month." Li Sanjiu replied. He hated this kind of detail that smeared his reputation as a man.

"Is there enough manpower? If it really doesn't work, it will be a few more, but they have to teach them to read, otherwise it will be too tiring to rely on you to write summary." Yu Wen Wen is still very willing to devote himself to intelligence, and this thing is as important as human eyes and eyes.

Li Sanjiu said that the current situation is OK, but if the scope of inquiry increases, the number of people required to increase. The left-behind personnel in Anlu are also responsible for the task of "market investigation". The results are not obvious yet, but it is much more convenient for Manager Wang to negotiate and bargain with merchants in Anlu.

After listening to the summary, Yuwen Wen explained to Li Sanjiu some things. After he took his leave, he looked at the rolls of paper on the desk and was dazed, thinking about the issue of establishing an intelligence agency in the future.

Collecting intelligence is a necessary ability for any group or force. The military strategy says: know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Therefore, intelligence work is essential, and you must be strong both externally and internally.

First of all, you must know your own situation well. The most direct example is the problem of military shortages. For example, the army with 10,000 people on the books is actually only 3,000 people, and then only 1,000 people can fight. If the commander does not notice that the army will carry out tasks that require 10,000 troops, then it will be a matter of time before the collapse occurs.

Secondly, all kinds of internal concealment of superiors and subordinates also need to be wary of. For example, the state government ordered that three liters of rent per acre of land be rented first, and the people had complaints, but the clerks all reported that the people had no objection. As a result, it caused civil unrest and he, the governor, took the blame.

No matter how difficult it is, the intelligence agency must be put on the shelves. The reason why Yuwen Wen organized a few people to inquire about various news was based on this consideration. After training, he had a backbone first, and then slowly led the newcomers to increase their workload, and the situation would gradually open up.

Market Research Department, this is the name set by Yuwen Wen. As the name implies, it is to investigate the market. The original intention is of course to grasp the prices of various places, to facilitate buying and selling at low prices when doing business, or to grasp the needs of various places to facilitate transfer of goods to make the difference.

If you inquire around, you will naturally hear all kinds of rumors and rumors, so it is also important to sort out useful things from these messages. As the saying goes, "If you don't know, don't do it unless you do it yourself." All kinds of clues can be combined, and all kinds of words and deeds can be found.

Therefore, the task of the market research department is gradually expanding, and all the rumors in Xiyang City can be recorded and summarized. Yuwen Wen should try his best to discover trends that are unfavorable to him from this information.

The complaints of officials from all walks of life in the prefecture, the complaints of shopkeepers and shopkeepers in various stores, the strange words of the state soldiers and their families, and the owner's movements revealed by the servants of various wealthy households. These information is complicated and complicated, and it seems useless, but those who are attentive can analyze different information from it.

The speaker is unintentionally listened to it. Many things are leaked out inadvertently. Typically, it is leaked by military families: If a woman who goes to the market to buy vegetables one day complains that her husband who is a soldier wants to leave home, then the military dynamics can be guessed.

Details determine success or failure, but the details are also very complicated. The person in charge is naturally the "fake Mayi Shen Xiang" Zheng Tong, but Yuwen Wen needs this person to calm the cunning clerks. It is too wasteful to use it for market research.

People who are responsible for such things must be active, but people who are active may not be able to grasp it, so the minimum loyalty must be.

Li Sanjiu was often bullied as a young eunuch in the palace. In order to protect himself, he could only keep observing his words and expressions, keep paying attention to details and avoid being troubled. In addition, he was calm and calm down, so he was suitable for this kind of work.

For example, in the past few months, Li Sanjiu and his men performed well. They followed the clues and found the root cause from various rumors, and then asked Zhang Dingfa to make a plan to arrest him. Anyway, Chen Jun's more careful work is better, and it just happened to give his people a hand-practice experience value.

The other is to monitor Chen's prisoners. This work has been done. Over the past few months, the whistleblowers in Chen's prisoners have exposed several conspiracies. Several large-scale riots have been strangled in the chain stage. The total number of masterminds who were "evaporated from the world" by Yuwen Wen has exceeded 100.

So he also observed the people who performed well when guarding prisoners, laying the foundation for the future development of intelligence agencies. He had thought of the name of the agency, which was very high-end, elegant and upscale:

The entire Russia's purge of counter-revolution and slacking off work is extremely... No, the entire Bazhou Prefecture's purge of counter-official court and slacking off work is referred to as the Consolidation Office.
