Chapter 484 Captured
"Is there any measure for the Pu family?" Li Gu was the first-class smart man after all. After all, he was thinking about it and didn't care about where he was talking. He asked in a low voice: "What are the plans of Lord Pu Dong?"
"The Pu family is not there." The visitor also whispered: "Mr. Li and the big men in Fuzhou know that the Pu family's fleet still have more than a hundred ships, and they have thousands of private soldiers to guard the fleet. These people are similar to pirates, and they are not as brave as pirates. If they really bring Fuzhou, they are definitely not the opponent of the Zhongshan Prefecture Army..."
"Then is Pu Xingfeng?"
"The Grand Chief of the Three Buddhas Qi is the backbone of our Pu family." The Pu family looked proud. Although he is half of the Han ancestry, he grew up in the Pu family since he was a child and received complete Tianfang education. He also knew that the Pu family was also the first-class aristocratic family in Tianfang. He was considered a low-class illegitimate son like him. Even so, the Pu family felt that he was superior to the Wei people, and he felt that he was superior.
When talking about Pu Xingfeng, the man looked proud. Looking at the shocked Li Gu, the people from the Pu family continued: "Before, the dead ghost Yan Qi was sent by our Grand Chief Manager. This person was useless and died. However, eliminating the power of the Zhongshan King and abolishing his naval army is the purpose of the Grand Chief Manager. Although the Three Buddhas and Lan Fang countries have not been destroyed, the Grand Chief Manager still plans to gather 100,000 troops and more than 1,000 ships, and prepare to arrive at Fujian Road in early next summer to destroy the Dongfan and Penghu Jiye of the Zhongshan King's Mansion, destroy his navy, and defeat Zhangzhou and Fuzhou. Even if Xu Zixian can escape his life by chance, his foundation will definitely not be preserved."
Li Gu couldn't help looking around. At this time, he and the Pu family had already walked into the nearby alley. The rise of the villages in Fuzhou was still in the late Jin Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties. The city structure for hundreds of years had not changed much. Many alleys were like long streets. At this time, many people gathered in the Wenrufang area. The alleys were not the main road. At night, there were very few pedestrians, and there were only a few vendors who probably sold out all meat dumplings, soup cakes, oil cakes and other food. At this time, they were carrying poles and other items, walking slowly at the entrance of the alley, without hiding their bodies. There were also a sound of talking and laughing.
As a result, Li Gu's tense thoughts were relaxed, and he whispered to the Pu family: "This is an important matter. Once the news leaks, you will lose your head. Brother must be careful in your words and actions!"
The people of the Pu family curled their lips. It would be ordinary if he had said something ruthless a few years ago. Pu Xingfeng could take him out of prison with a few money. Now it is different from the usual. The Pu family left Fuzhou not only to give up the large mansion in Fuzhou, but also to give up the century-long operation of several generations in Fuzhou.
Before this, although the Pu family was a custom of Seminary people, they spoke Fuzhou Mandarin well and used the etiquette of Wei people when dealing with people. They only changed into the white robe of the heavenly square when they closed the door, performed the etiquette of the heavenly square, and lived in accordance with the regulations of the heavenly square doctrine.
The Pu family members were living in Fuzhou outside and had a very light color. For many years, the officials and soldiers and civilians of the Great Wei Dynasty also regarded the Pu family as their own people. They had been living in a hundred years, wealthy for a hundred years, and were also a big businessman who kept doing good deeds from time to time, although they were Semi people, they were already regarded as part of Fuzhou.
When the bandits invaded the territory, the Pu family members should escape first. If they abandoned the military and civilians of Fuzhou, such a big business has a background of sex. The people of Fuzhou feel alienated and indifferent to it. Without years of business, they will not be able to restore their past reputation.
In addition to the hostile relationship between the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion and the Pu family, if they commit a taboo at this time, they will be arrested, and they will be engaged in accordance with the law, or even be punished with severe punishment.
"Mr. Li quickly clean up." The Pu family urged: "I'll take a break at my husband's mansion tonight. As soon as the city gate is opened tomorrow morning, we will go from the mountain road to Quanzhou, not going to Qizhou Port into the sea."
Originally, the family must have been taking a small boat from the Minjiang River, exiting the Minjiang River mouth and entering the sea, and then going from the sea to Quanzhou.
OK, you don’t have to take a boat, and you can bring more furniture and things, but Li Gu knows that you should be careful when you walk from the Minjiang River to prevent the Navy from Zhongshan Prefecture Army from blocking and investigating. Recently, the guards of the Minjiang River have been extremely strict, which is ten times stricter than the Yangtze River defense camp of the Xiang Army. It is difficult for a slut to escape from the Navy's investigation. Li Gu's identity is special. Once he is exposed, he will be arrested immediately.
At that moment, Li Gu nodded slightly, and said nothing more. He went to his house and knocked on the door. This mansion was secretly bought by Li Gu. No one except the servants he handled knew that he was hiding here. After moving his family out, he hid here. It was impossible for the people in the Zhao royal palace to investigate.
Pu Shougao now needs a counselor like Li Gu to give advice on the Pu family, and Li Gu also needs powerful and powerful forces to accommodate him to avoid being harmed by King Zhao. The two sides hit it off. Therefore, although Li Gu is careful of others, he is particularly at ease with the Pu family.
But when he knocked on the door, he felt that the door had opened. Li Gu's heart tightened. When he pushed the door, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
After pushing open the door, Li Gu and the Pu family changed their faces. More than ten people stood in the courtyard. Li Gu's family was tied to the main hall, and there were still gags in their mouths, so they couldn't scream. Seeing Li Gu, everyone twisted their bodies, but couldn't move, and they just stammered and couldn't scream.
Li Gu sighed and heard the footsteps behind him. The hawker who was originally carrying a burden and joking in the distance had already arrived quickly. The two who sold flat food and meat dumplings were extremely agile. In a few steps, they reached behind Li Gu and Pu's family. Each of them pressed against their backs with a short knife. Both hawkers whispered: "You two need to be honest, don't lose your life."
"Can I still survive?" After being pushed into the hospital, Li Gu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness King Zhao will not spare me, but I want to see Your Highness and have some difficulties and secret matters to report. With this matter, I want to ask your Highness to spare your family's lives."
Li Gu had a wife and two concubines, and gave birth to two daughters and one son. At this time, they were tied up in the hall. When everyone heard Li Gu's words, they all looked very sad.
Although Li Gu looked up at the sky and looked upright, he couldn't help but burst into tears, tears wet his mind.
"What are you doing like this?" A young man walked into the yard and lit candles one after another. The young man, who looked like a big horse, sat down under the eaves of the corridor, glanced at the Pu family with his arms twisted, and said, "We are not from the Zhao royal palace. Li Gu, you claim to be a wise man, and you actually make such a joke. Are you still lucky?"
Li Gu's face was as white as paper. Although he had roughly guessed the identities of the people in front of him, he still didn't want to believe it. However, if he still pretended to be stupid, he would look down on the people in front of him and belittle himself.
He smiled bitterly and Li Gu said, "It seems that Zunjia and others are sent by His Highness Zhongshan King?"
"That's right." Of course, Jin Jian said, nodding proudly at the moment, and then said: "I was ordered by the king to spy on the investigation and conduct detailed spies. You, Li Gu, colluded with Li Kaiming and caused such a huge disaster with the Pu family. How could you tell you to leave so easily?"
"But I don't know how to post it?" Li Gu's face was bleak. It would probably end up tragically when he fell into the hands of King Zhao, but he could still try it out with the old incense. For King Zhongshan, Li Gu has always been the confidant of King Zhao. I don't know how many ideas it has come up with, and it will be so miserable when it falls into the hands of the people in the King of Zhongshan Palace.
At that moment, Li Gu reluctantly said: "A lot of things are done by the orders of His Highness Zhao, and I will bear it all my heart. I also beg you not to harm your family and put it on the road of life."
Jin Jian said disapprovingly: "We have laws and regulations on our actions, so how can we kill our whole family? It's not easy for your family to show up for the time being, we'll send it to you.
Go to live on Dongfan Island. Don't worry, our king has always been open-minded and promised a thousand gold, and never harmed his family. Li Gu, you have been with King Zhao for a long time, and you can be said to be a judge of a gentleman by the heart of a villain. In contrast, if we were sent by King Zhao today, your family will not survive, and you will know it yourself?"
This is also indisputable. Li Gu smiled bitterly and said, "Since that's the case, the love is so great that he admires it... If His Highness Zhongshan King wants to cooperate, he will serve him wholeheartedly and dare not say anything else."
"It's better to know at least." Jin Jian nodded slightly. He didn't say much, but the people in the Military Intelligence Department were not good men and women. In fact, the Zhongshan King was not easy to do and it was inconvenient to do secret activities. Jin Jian led the group of people in front of him to do it. In addition to open and upright affairs, there were also some shameful acts, such as controlling Li Gu in front of him and fighting against King Zhao and his son at a critical moment. This kind of old man is mostly a tough guy. Just by torture and forced him to surrender for a while. Once external forces intervene, he is likely to bite him and immediately turn his confession.
In the case of King Zhao, Xu Zi first planned to make an iron case in the future and would never act carelessly. Therefore, he repeatedly told Jin Jian to do this. As for investigating Li Gu's lower place, tracing the traces, and determining where this person is hiding, it may be clueless for King Zhao. For Jin Jian and the Military Information Department, that is too simple.
The Military Information Department attaches most importance to several intelligence points, the first is Fuzhou, the first is to be close to each other, and the second is to be early and easy to arrange manpower.
It is easy to buy small officials, the doors of various mansions, the followers, the slaughtermen and maids and servants. Then there are monks, Taoists and women, etc. These are all well-informed, and you can easily get information from the government level to the internal information from major mansions.
In addition, the military personnel in the market kept collecting intelligence, and the intelligence team was also divided into several types such as listening, recording, sitting, and exploring. It was an important figure like Li Gu. The intelligence team had special personnel using various methods to analyze his whereabouts, including buying a mansion. For Li Gu, it was a secret action for Li Gu. For military personnel, it was simply parading with torches in the dark night. If you pay a little attention, you could sort out Li Gu's traces clearly.
Li Gu would not understand at this point that he was not fighting against the group of people in front of him, but a huge organization. From organizational structure to methods of conduct and talent training, a complete set of structures have been formed, far exceeding the intelligence agencies of this era, and it is definitely not something like him who can compete with it!
Li Gu's face was gray. Although his family had nothing to do, Li Gu himself was waiting to die. He had become the fish on the cutting board, waiting for the chef to choose the time to take the knife.
When Jin Jian asked someone to send Li Gu's family away, both parties looked at each other with tears in their eyes when they said goodbye, and both knew that although it was a separation of life, it was also a separation of death.
However, no one was moved to hide. Someone even sarcastically said, "Li Gu, for your own selfishness, you provoked Li Kaiming to disrupt Jianzhou. You were afraid that tens of thousands of people would die. If you don't die, your whole family is because our king acted in the laws and regulations of the country. The Great Wei dealt with criminals. Even if the crime was extremely serious, he would be exiled at most. How could he kill the nine clans? That was the story of the previous dynasty. If we say that with our hearts, your whole family seemed pitiful, but you killed them.
Those families, who are not old and young, will they die pitifully? They should strangle your family to death in front of you, and then kill you. This is the best way of heaven, and retribution is unhappy. Unfortunately, the king is unwilling to do this, and we dare not act without authorization, for fear of dirtying the reputation of the king. Don’t pretend to be a good person anymore. If you wait for death, your family should also serve on the island and atone for you!"
