The Han army's intelligence center in Jianye was originally in Xishi Tavern. Because the Xishi Tavern performed outstandingly when Liu Jing visited Jiangdong, it aroused suspicion in Jiangdong. The Han army's intelligence center quickly gave up Xishi Tavern and moved to the Wu Tavern near the east gate. The Wu Tavern was originally opened by a Wujun merchant. Because of the bad location and the light business, it was bought by the Han army and continued to maintain a light business.

The shopkeeper of the tavern is Liang, and he is the deputy leader of the Han army's intelligence center in Jiangdong. Qu Aren from Jiangdong. He is about forty years old. He looks honest and a little dull. But this is just the surface. In fact, this person is extremely smart and meticulous. It is him who suggested that Zhong Xue stay in Qianli Hostel. Even if Da Qiao accidentally leaks it, it will not have any impact.

Zhong Xue went up to open the door, and Manager Liang bowed and said, "Just just now, there were thousands of soldiers from Jiangdong surrounded Qianli Hostel."

Zhong Xue nodded. She had just heard from Da Qiao that Da Qiao had asked his maid to go to Qianli Hostel to deliver a letter to him before. It was not surprising that Jiang Dongjun finally knew Qianli Hostel. Thanks to Manager Liang's smartness, he did not let himself live in Wu's Tavern, otherwise something big would happen.

Manager Liang said again: "I guess Jiangdong Army can't find anyone in Qianli Hostel, so they will investigate the city and will soon arrive at us. We have a private house. Why not Miss Zhong and her wife go to the private house to hide."

"Don't they live in private?"

"It shouldn't be. I believe they don't want to cause a stir. Moreover, there is no time left. The city gate will be opened in another hour. Besides, the local family lives in the house I mentioned. They are all our hidden threads. I believe they will deal with it."

"Then can we leave the city by boat tomorrow?" Da Qiao asked.

Manager Liang secretly glanced at her and saw that Da Qiao, who was famous all over the world, turned into a crude wife. He was very disappointed. He replied respectfully: "Reply to the words of his wife, if they have found out that you are rowing to leave Qiao's mansion tonight, then the strictest investigation tomorrow is Water Gate. Even if you put on makeup, I may not be able to go out. I suggest waiting a few more days, and when the limelight is slightly calmed down, I will find a way to send you out of the city. The safest place now is to hide in the private house."

Zhong Xue and Da Qiao no longer insisted. They knew that this shopkeeper Liang was extremely smart and understood the situation. His arrangement must be the safest way.

At this moment, a knock on the door came faintly downstairs, and the hearts became nervous. Soon, a friend rushed up to report, "Shopkeeper, the officers and soldiers are here to investigate."

At this time, Manager Liang had already packed the room in a hurry. He didn't expect that the Jiangdong soldiers would come so quickly. He felt extremely nervous and blew out the lights and said to the clerk: "You can quickly take them away from the back door and go to the fifth master's house in the opposite alley to avoid it."

"Shopkeeper Liang, will there be soldiers hiding in ambush at the back door?" Zhong Xue reminded.

Manager Liang smiled and said, "There is a dead end outside the back door, and the soldiers cannot enter, but we can enter the Temple of the Society and leave from there. The Temple of the Society of the Society is also ours. I know it in my mind, and there will be no problem."

After saying that, Manager Liang hurried downstairs and heard his voice faintly, "Here's here, who is it?"

Zhong Xue and Da Qiao followed the guy down from another staircase, walked through the backyard of the tavern, and left through the back door.

Dozens of soldiers had already entered the front hall of the tavern, led by a garrison commander. The soldiers held torches and illuminated the lobby. Manager Liang was so scared that he waved his hand and said, "Dear soldiers, the shop is full of wood, don't burn it."

The governor ignored him and asked viciously: "There are women in the store."

Manager Liang was stunned for a moment and whispered: "I am over 40 years old and have a weak look. The villain is willing to give some money to honor the official."

The governor didn't explain, waved his hand and said, "Give it to me."

The soldiers rushed into the tavern, and only the chief of the treasury and shopkeeper Liang were left in the lobby. The chief of the treasury looked at him with a smile. Shopkeeper Liang then pretended to be enlightened, took out a small cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it to the chief of the treasury, "This is Han gold coins, and it is sought after by the army."

The Tun Chief took the small cloth bag without hesitation, took out a few and looked at it. It was indeed the new money from the Han Kingdom, and it was popular in Jiangdong. The official stipulated that ten gold coins could be exchanged for one pound of red gold, but on the black market, eight gold coins could be exchanged for one pound of red gold. He weighed the weight and estimated that there were forty. The Tun Chief immediately smiled and shouted: "Come back all."

After a moment, the soldiers came back one after another, and the governor shouted to them: "There are no assassins here, let's hurry up and go to the next house."

He led the soldiers out of the tavern, and when he left, the shopkeeper Liang closed the door, he breathed a little relieved. In fact, he knew that the Jiangdong army had gradually become increasingly serious in the past two years, especially the middle and lower-level officers, who seized every opportunity to get some fuel and water. They like to investigate the situation the most and could take the opportunity to blackmail. As long as there are bribes, most of them will not take the task seriously. This has been many times.

But Manager Liang didn't dare to take risks. If he came in, he was a serious officer or Wang Ning personally inspected it, it would be troublesome, so he was cautious and sent them away.

...........

It was already dawn, and the hour of Mao was almost here. In the living room of Jianye Palace, Sun Quan had a dark face and listened to Wang Ning's report. Finally, he couldn't help but feel anger in his heart and slapped the table hard, "Bastard, how did you do it?"

Wang Ning was so scared that he knelt down and lowered his head and explained: "I followed the instructions of Wu Hou and did not make a big deal. So he didn't dare to do it directly at that time. He waited until the fourth update to start, but he didn't expect it."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Quan sneered, "It's my responsibility to say so, right?"

"There is no such intention," Wang Ning said with a stuttering lips: "They thought it carefully. If the woman in black did not appear, there would never be any accidents. The woman suspected that she was either sent by Wujun or a Han army probe."

"Stop talking," Sun Quan interrupted him impatiently, walked a few steps behind his hands, and said with a dark face: "No matter what, you must find someone. You must not open the city gate. Check the whole county, go door to door, and also hang a lot of money to arrest the woman in black. You must catch them today."

"But what excuse is better for Beizheng to use? If Mrs. Qiao is involved, I am afraid there will be any discussion, which will be detrimental to Wuhou."

Sun Quan raised his head and thought for a while, then said coldly: "Just say that the assassin was found in Jianye Palace last night, and an assassin wanted to be unfavorable to me."

"I understand."

Sun Quan took out another gold medal and handed it to him, "Transfer five thousand troops and check the whole city for me. The city gate can be opened, but it is only allowed to enter and not exit."

Wang Ning took the gold medal and hurriedly retreated. Sun Quan walked to the window with his hands behind his back, staring out the window with a gloomy look, his fists slowly clenched. No one could snatch the woman he wanted.

At this time, Sun Quan's favorite concubine Bu Yan walked into the room with a bowl of tweed ears and bird's nest soup. Bu Yan was the daughter of Bu Yan, the nickname trainer. She has been following Sun Quan for many years and was not valued by Sun Quan before. However, in the past two years, Sun Quan suffered heavy blows. Mrs. Xie was not considerate enough and had many troubles in the palace, which made Sun Quan even more upset. But Bu Yan was understanding and comforted Sun Quan in time. He gradually gained Sun Quan's favor and showed signs of replacing Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Bu put the jade bowl on the table, walked slowly to Sun Quan, and asked with a soft smile: "Wu Hou seems a little worried."

Sun Quan sighed and said, "There are national affairs outside and family affairs inside, how can I not be upset?"

"The family affairs are uneasy." Mrs. Bu was slightly stunned. She asked tentatively: "Does Wu Hou refer to Wujun?"

"It has nothing to do with Wujun, don't ask."

Mrs. Bu was silent for a moment, she bit her lip gently and whispered: "There is a rumor in the palace recently. I wonder if Mr. Wu has heard of it."

"What news?" Sun Quan asked back.

"It's about Mrs. Joe."

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, stared at Mrs. Bu with a sharp gaze, and asked coldly: "Tell me specifically, what kind of news is it?"

Mrs. Bu lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at Sun Quan. Two years ago, news came out in the palace that Mrs. Bu wanted to marry the Qiao sisters. Mrs. Bu was not convinced at first, but later she found out that the news was from Mrs. Xie, so she believed it a little. Marrying Xiao Qiao was not a big problem, but marrying Da Qiao would be criticized. Although Da Qiao was not a proper wife, she had the status of an uncle and sister-in-law after all, and if it was spread, it would be despised by the gentry.

But this is just a rumor and has not become a reality, so Mrs. Bu did not mention this matter. However, since Mrs. Wu passed away, Mrs. Wu closed the Changgan Palace and asked Da Qiao to move to Jianye Palace to live. Da Qiao was not Wu Hou's wife and concubine, so how could he live in Jianye Palace? He should have found another house to settle down. Mrs. Bu guessed Wu Hou's thoughts.

She had been trying to find an opportunity to persuade her husband until the maid came to report just now. Wang Ning came to find Sun Quan secretly in the morning. Mrs. Bu felt that the unique delicate intuition of women might have something to do with Da Qiao. She could no longer help but want to persuade her husband not to make mistakes again and again.

Mrs. Bu whispered: "The rumor in the palace that Mr. Wu wants Da Qiao to enter the palace, so he has other intentions."

"Nonsense"

Sun Quan suddenly became furious. He was like a monkey with his tail stomped on his tail. He shaking his wife's shoulder desperately, shouting and glaring, "Who is it, who said it, who dares to talk nonsense, tell me, I want to cut him into pieces."

Mrs. Bu looked at her husband quietly. Her husband's abnormal behavior just confirmed his guilt. If he had no intention, how could he be so nervous and panicked? Mrs. Bu sighed, "Although it is just a rumor, but people's words are terrifying. Mrs. Wu just need to clarify the rumors, and the rumors will stop."

Sun Quan also realized that he had lost his composure. He let go of Mrs. Bu, turned around and looked out the window with his hands. After a while, he said coldly: "Go out."

Mrs. Bu wanted to say something else, Sun Quan turned around and stared at her, and a sentence burst out from his teeth, "Get out of here."
