Chapter 95 Bai Jiuchi(1/2)
Author: It’s so hard to get an ID
Prince Cheng's Mansion.
Bai Jiuchi hasn't slept since nightfall. Now, instead of showing any signs of sleepiness on his face, he is full of energy.
There is a saying that makes sense: work is the best reward for workaholics.
In fact, this sentence doesn't make sense. Are the overtime work of a social worker and the overtime work of a father the same thing?
But no matter what, Bai Jiuchi is now addicted. He has the refreshing feeling of a scholar who never leaves the room and has the world under his control.
Starting from last night, the spies who had been arranged had passed information to Bai Jiuchi like snow flakes. Through these few words, Bai Jiuchi seemed to have witnessed the brutal fighting between all parties with his own eyes.
Bai Jiuchi's small trial plan in Hangzhou City was successfully completed. It can be said to be an extremely successful completion. The information from the sea has not had time to return, but it is not expected to be too bad.
The only thing that made Bai Jiuchi feel a little unexpected was that it was the former crown prince Huang Xiaoshi who had met Prince Cheng yesterday and was left behind in the world.
This Huang Xiaoshi is actually a martial arts master.
To be honest, there was a huge variable in yesterday's plan, and this variable was Huang Xiaoshi.
After receiving the information from Hangzhou City, Bai Jiuchi was going back to his room to force himself to sleep. He lay down and got up in the room, got up and lay down again, thinking about it, but he still couldn't fall asleep.
At this time, Bai Jiuchi heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened the door, he found that it was already bright outside.
Bai Jiuchi has a quirk. His room is airtight and he needs to light a lamp during the day. There is no distinction between black and white.
In fact, this is not a quirk, it's because Bai Jiuchi has been in the secret room for a long time and cannot see the light.
He needed to get used to the sunshine for a while, so in order to make himself more comfortable, he directly made his bedroom the same as a secret room, hiding from the sun.
"What's the matter?" Bai Jiuchi couldn't help but yawned and asked the housekeeper.
It's strange to say that Bai Jiuchi didn't feel sleepy without seeing the sun. Once he saw the sun, Bai Jiuchi felt a little sleepy.
"Mr. Bai, there is a scholar who wants to see you." The steward said carefully to Bai Jiuchi.
Scholar?
Could it be that those scholars are sending articles with famous postcards again?
Bai Jiuchi asked casually: "What's the scholar's name?"
The steward replied: "Let's call him Scholar."
When Bai Jiuchi heard this, he immediately became energetic and said quickly: "Please come in quickly!"
The scholar and Danqing were waiting anxiously outside the door. They still didn't know whether the concierge could pass the message to Mr. Bai based on his own words.
There is an old saying that "there are seven officials in front of the prime minister's door", and the gatekeeper of the palace is probably only high but not low.
The scholar and Danqing were dressed simply, and there was no extravagance. After listening to their stories, the concierge politely replied "Wait a moment" and closed the door. Who knows whether he went to report or went to sleep.
.
At this moment, the door creaked open, and a middle-aged man in white stepped out of the door and said to the scholar and Danqing: "Please come inside, Mr. Bai is waiting for you."
It actually worked.
The people all call King Cheng a wise king, and King Cheng is a wise man who does not deceive others.
…
The scholar and Bai Jiuchi have had a close relationship several times.
Bai Jiuchi also had a conversation with the scholar. We are both people who have read poetry and books. Although we took different paths in the end, we can still regard each other as close friends.
Bai Jiuchi particularly admired the scholar's calligraphy. His calligraphy was both ancient and lively, and simple yet also conveyed a sense of freedom and ease. Just by virtue of his good calligraphy, the scholar was enough to be called a great master.
What makes Bai Jiuchi appreciate even more is that the scholar is not only good at calligraphy, but also a real reader of poetry and books, with a wealth of knowledge.
Although the scholar seems to be out of shape all day long, Bai Jiuchi actually understands the scholar's inner depression very well: the more he reads, the more he feels that what he has learned is of no use.
To take the exam to gain fame?
Pooh!
Bai Jiuchi, who also failed in many examinations and could not even pass the examination as a scholar, detested the examination system.
Therefore, a truly knowledgeable person will either follow the path Bai Jiuchi is currently on, or he will follow the refined path of a scholar who travels through the mountains and rivers.
The scholar and Danqing were taken into a small living room filled with charcoal. After they entered the room, the steward exited the guest room and closed the door.
Seeing that there was no fourth person here, the scholar hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hands to Bai Jiuchi and said, "Mr. Bai, something big happened last night!"
When Bai Jiuchi heard this, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He quickly asked the two of them to sit down and pointed to the pastries and tea that had been prepared on the seats.
After working all night and driving dozens of miles, the scholar felt extremely thirsty. He picked up a cup of tea, blew it on, and took a sip. The tea was just warm enough. So the scholar drank the tea in one gulp, and slowly
After taking a breath, he said to Bai Jiuchi.
"Sir, your calculations are so clever that you can calculate every step accurately." The scholar opened his fan and fanned himself quickly.
After a while, the scholar put away the fan in his hand and said with a sad expression: "We are so ashamed of Mr. Bai. General Qi, General Qi was killed."
When the scholar said this, there was an uncontrollable choking in his tone.
After a month of running around, trying so hard to contact people in the world, and fighting desperately in the middle of the night, all the efforts failed.
The opponent used a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain and attack in the east, draining the martial arts manpower in Hangzhou City. Then he arranged a killing move and went directly to the prison to assassinate General Qi.
The scholar claimed to be rich in knowledge, but only Yu Liang could make plans. However, he found that when it came to actually doing things, he was actually an armchair person.
They won this battle against the Japanese pirates, but their core mission failed.
The scholar was both sad and guilty. With a choked voice, he briefly told Bai Jiuchi what happened last night. When General Dao Qi was poisoned to death by the thieves, he broke down in tears.
Bai Jiuchi sighed and said: "Do your best to ensure the destiny of God. How can everything in the world be calculated by humans?"
Seeing that the scholar's mood was a little out of control, Danqing raised his hands to the scholar and said, "I am Danqing, and I am a close friend of the scholar. Today there is chaos in Hangzhou City, and the leader of the Beggar Clan, Li Hao, has been kidnapped by the government. Mr. Bai must find a way to capture him."
Please help me."
Li Hao was arrested by the government?
When Bai Jiuchi heard this, he frowned.
Although Li Hao had not met Bai Jiuchi directly, he also knew that the information on the Japanese actions came from someone in the palace.
Although the prince looked down upon these beggars, Bai Jiuchi keenly discovered that as spies, beggars were the best.
The first advantage of beggars is that they are everywhere in the street. Every beggar has a pair of eyes, and they can see everything in the city.
The second advantage of being a beggar is that he is humble. The advantage of being humble is that he is not noticeable. As long as he does not go into some places where beggars should not go, most people will not pay much attention to beggars.
Another benefit of being cheap is saving money. It’s funny to say that Bai Jiuchi only gave Li Hao a pension of ten taels of silver, but he actually recruited hundreds of desperadoes to intercept the Japanese. If he replaced them with other thugs, he would probably be recruited.
Less than ten people.
The third advantage of being a beggar is that he is uneducated.
Many people may not agree. As a spy, you don't know what's good about it, and you can't understand any confidential information you get.
It's good to be here, Bai Jiuchi just wants the spies to not be able to understand the information.
The more a spy knows, the more he will know. The more a spy knows, the greater the risk of leaking secrets.
This is a problem that has no solution since ancient times, but it was solved by Bai Jiuchi.
According to Bai Jiuchi's request, each spy is responsible for different things, and spies on different matters cannot talk nonsense with each other, otherwise they will be dealt with severely.
So, a spy reported: "This is a pillar."
The spy reported: "This is a wall."
The spy reported: "This is a big python."
Another spy reported back: "This is a big cattail leaf fan."
With all this information gathered in Bai Jiuchi's mind, Bai Jiuchi knew that they had discovered an elephant.
The predecessors used the blind man to touch the elephant to ridicule others. As a result, Bai Jiuchi learned how to split and summarize the intelligence network. For this reason, Bai Jiuchi was known as King Cheng's first adviser.
The first experimental subject of Bai Jiuchi's intelligence method was the Beggar Gang. Now that Li Hao, the leader of the Hangzhou Beggar Gang, was arrested by the government, Bai Jiuchi naturally had to rescue him.
To put it mildly, it is really hard to find a Erque beggar leader like Li Hao who does not care about money and puts loyalty first. He is a rare talent that can only be found.
Upon hearing that Li Hao had been arrested, Bai Jiuchi's mind began to spin rapidly.
The latest piece of information is that the governor of Hangzhou issued a wanted document to arrest three "outlaw thieves", one is a beggar, one is a monk, and the other is a bloody scholar.
Now Bai Jiuchi knows why Huang Xiaoshi is considered a scholar. It turns out that he is wearing scholar's clothes.
Two beggars, Li Hao, were caught. Naturally, Bai Jiuchi had to quickly judge whether to fish them out or shut them up forever.
In short, Li Hao and Xiao Yao must not be interrogated, otherwise some things will be difficult to deal with.
Bai Jiuchi circled around the house.
…
The governor of Hangzhou really wants to find someone to cry to, and this matter has nothing to do with him in the first place.
The criminals who were beyond the jurisdiction of the governor were killed in the prison last night. Not only that, but Eunuch Zhang of Dongchang also died here.
