    One hundred and eighty-one successful

    Meng Ju¡¯s hand trembled and he almost spilled the wine.  With just the right amount of surprise, he asked: "Qin Xuan, why do you think so? I'm a native of Luojing!"

    "Yes, Chief Meng, you are indeed from Luojing. However, I think you are very special - ever since you rescued me, I have felt that you are very different from other Dongling Guard officers."

    "What's the difference? I still collect money and do the same private work - I do everything the other mausoleum guards do, right?"

    Qin Xuan thought for a while, then he smiled and said, "Maybe, Chief Meng, you do the same thing as them, but I just think you are different - you are a good person."

    Meng Ju spit out all the wine in his mouth.  He smiled bitterly and clasped his hands together: "Please, Mr. Qin, next time you say such disgusting words, please give me a warning - just because I am a good person, do you think I am the Eagle Marquis of the Southern Dynasties?"

    The young man didn¡¯t answer. He smiled enigmatically, with an expression that said, ¡°I¡¯ve already seen through your heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.¡± That dark look in his eyes made Meng Ju¡¯s heart tremble.

    "Young Master Qin, let's get back to the business: Can your Black Mountain Army take over the task of killing Han Qifeng?"

    "Sir Meng, Han Qifeng and his concubine are in the hands of Dongling Guards. Such important people must be closely guarded. It is very difficult and dangerous to get rid of them. It is much harder than killing a few court officials. This  It will put us in a direct conflict with the Dongling Guards, which is very dangerous - we will not accept such a mission without a very necessary reason."

    Meng Ju said calmly: "There is a reason - if Han Qifeng and the others don't die, I will die."

    Qin Xuan was stunned. He looked at Meng Ju without saying anything. He lowered his head and stared at the table intently, as if a flower suddenly bloomed on the table.

    Meng Ju drank and ate one cup after another without looking at Qin Xuan, but the anxiety in his heart was burning like a raging fire.

    After a long time, as if he had made a lot of determination, Qin Xuan said slowly and calmly: "Sir Meng, I need their detention location, the number of guards - all relevant information, the more detailed the better!"

    Meng Ju felt relieved and said, "That's no problem. I can give it to you tonight. Where can I find you?"

    As soon as the words left his mouth, Meng Ju realized his rashness. Qin Xuan was also stunned, but his answer was without hesitation: "No. 35, Confucius Street, you can find me there. I have been there these two days.  Then, he called the waiter to settle the bill and said clearly: "Sir Meng, your business is urgent, so I won't delay you. I'll wait for your news tonight."

    After saying that, the young man stood up and left neatly.  Watching the young man's slender back disappear at the door of the tavern, and recalling the meeting just now, Meng Ju sat in his chair and froze for a while.

    At that time, Qin Xuan was saved by an accidental act of kindness. To Meng Ju, this small incident was like a grass passing by the roadside, passing by in a blink of an eye, and he was not at all relieved.  Qin Xuan left without saying goodbye, and Meng Ju could only think that he would never see him again in this life - he never imagined that this strong and intelligent young man would meet him again in this way, and that he would become his  Savior!

    It may be difficult for others to find out the information that imprisoned Han Qifeng, but for Governor Meng, this is not a problem at all.  When he returned home, Li Minghua, director of the Internal Affairs Division, was already waiting for him at home.

    Inspector Li has been waiting for Meng Ju to come back for a full hour.  Because no one knew where Meng Ju was going, let alone when Governor Meng would come back, Li Minghua did not dare to leave. He could only sit in the reception room and wait helplessly, and had to endure the glares of the two girls - holding a grudge.  Jiang Leilei, who was so concerned, didn't even offer him a cup of tea.

    Therefore, when Inspector Li saw Meng Ju coming back, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart: "Chief Meng, you are finally back!"

    "I'm going to do some official business - Inspector Li is still up so late? Do you want to see me for something?"

    Li Minghua secretly cursed, it was clearly Meng Ju who asked him to report the progress of the case every day, otherwise he would be stupid and stay here without sleeping in the middle of the night?  However, he did not dare to complain because he was a senior official. Instead, he showed a heartfelt smile of admiration: "Sir Meng, you have worked hard for your official duties. I'm sorry to bother you. I want to report to you the progress of today's case."

    Meng Ju looked confused: "The case? What case - oh, you're talking about the Yinghou incident in the Southern Tang Dynasty, right?"

    He looked impatient at being interrupted and said, "Tell me, Inspector Li, what new tricks have you come up with over there?"

    Seeing Governor Meng's impatient attitude, Li Minghua did not dare to make a long speech, and simply reported: Han Qifeng has not yet begun to confess, but the mausoleum guards left him alone for two days, and his attitude has obviously softened, and he began to talk to the interrogating officers.  During the conversation, he wanted to know the policies of the Wei Dynasty and asked:If he is willing to cooperate with Dongling Guards to confess, will the Northern Wei court grant him an official position?  If an officer is awarded, what level of officer will it be awarded?

    "Lord Governor, we can't make the decision in this matter. We can only ask for your instructions."

    Meng Ju was noncommittal: "How were things like this handled in the past? I remember that anyone who became an Eagle Marquis had to be executed by his whole family, right? How can he still be an official?"

    "Your Majesty, Lord Governor! If the people in the North are rebelling against thieves, the imperial court will order them to kill their entire family. This is not negotiable. However, if the officials of the Southern Dynasties abandon the secrets and defect to our country, the imperial court will sometimes grant them a license."  Official - this kind of thing has not happened before. My lord, I feel that in order to win this case, we agreed to appease Mr. Han, and it seems to be okay"

    Meng Ju sneered, and shouted loudly: "The Yinghou Dog Thief named Han actually wants to be an official of our Wei Dynasty. What a wishful thinking! Tell him, stop dreaming, tell the truth, and we Dongling Guards can give it to him  Keep a whole body, don't say anything, huh, I will kill him immediately!

    Inspector Li, as an officer of the Dongling Guards, you must take a clear stance!  You must not have the slightest sympathy or mercy for this traitor of the Southern Dynasty, otherwise - hum, even if we are colleagues, the national law is ruthless, and I will not be able to protect you!  Just take care of yourself.  "

    "Yes, I know it, I know it, I don't dare!"

    Li Minghua was in trouble and couldn't explain: It was obviously a strategy to induce Han Qifeng to speak, but how could he end up sympathizing with the Eagle Marquis of the Southern Dynasties?  It was really speechless to meet such a layman and rigid governor.

    He quickly changed the topic and talked about Han Qifeng's concubine Qingqing.

    "My lord, Qingqing said that our Dongling Guard promised her a bonus, but she asked to cash it in, otherwise she would not continue to cooperate."

    Meng Ju said with a straight face: "Inspector Li, I have just taken over the provincial department. I am nervous everywhere, so how can I give this bonus to the Yinghou Madam? This bonus was promised by your Internal Affairs Department, so you can pay it yourself from your funds!"

    Li Minghua did not expect to get money from Meng Ju, he just used this to explain his hard work.  He said aggrievedly: "Our Internal Affairs Department is already short of funds Alas, in order to solve this big case, we have to lose money again!"

    "Okay, okay, Inspector Li, stop being so nagging - who did that little bitch confess to?"

    Li Minghua took out a piece of paper and handed it to Meng Ju, with several names and addresses written on it: "This is the Eagle Marquis of the Southern Tang Dynasty that Qingqing confessed. Chief Meng, do you think we should take immediate action against them?"

    Meng Ju took the list, glanced at it, and put it into his sleeve.  He said: "You can decide this matter yourself - are there any very important people here?"

    ¡°That¡¯s not the case, it¡¯s just an ordinary Little Eagle Marquis.¡±

    "Hmph! Han Qifeng hasn't spoken yet, but his side of the intelligence is the boss. You moved these few soldiers and generals first, what should you do if you alert the enemy?"

    Li Minghua suddenly understood. He patted his head and said, "Ah, if it weren't for Chief Meng's wisdom, we almost made a big mistake! Chief Meng, what other instructions do you have for us?"

    Meng Ju yawned: "Instructions? There are no instructions. You just need to keep this felon in custody and keep it secret from the outside world. If you put him in a dark cell, he may collude with other prisoners to confess and pass on information!"

    Li Minghua quickly patted his chest and assured that they had already considered this issue.  To prevent leaks, Han Qifeng and his young wife were not locked up in a black cell, but were held separately in a special prison of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

    The special prison is located in the backyard of the Mausoleum Department's Internal Affairs Office. Each shift is guarded by five soldiers. The shifts change three times a day. The shift times are in the early morning, evening and midnight. The guards on duty are equipped with light crossbows and are not far away from the guard posts of the Mausoleum Department outside.  Two hundred steps away, with just a shout, reinforcements will come at any time, so safety and defense is absolutely foolproof.

    After listening to the report, Meng Ju sent Li Minghua away with a few perfunctory words. He felt at ease: The arrangements of the Internal Affairs Office were indeed very thorough, but in any case, it was easier to drill holes than build walls.  Knowing the details of the other party, Meng Ju couldn't believe that he couldn't find a loophole.

    About half an hour later, Meng Ju put on his clothes and quietly went out again.

    The night was deep, the sky was full of stars, and the night breeze was cold. The two guards on duty at the gate of the courtyard were dozing off. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they woke up immediately.  Seeing that it was Meng Ju, they immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Master Governor! Do you want to go out?"

    "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go out on patrol at night."

    The two guards secretly smacked their tongues, thinking that Governor Meng was too perverted. He came out to patrol the field in the middle of the night. Which sentry on duty was taken off duty tonight??You'll be in trouble if you get caught.  They all asked: "Lord Governor, do you need me to accompany you in this humble position?"

    Meng Ju declined the sentry¡¯s kindness and pretended to patrol around the mausoleum office compound alone to check the duty status of each sentry post. On the way, he also encountered a patrolling sentry team.  Seeing Governor Meng personally patrolling the night alone, the officers and soldiers in the sentry team stood at attention and saluted. They praised the Governor for being serious and responsible, but secretly cursed him for being perverted and mean - a dignified Governor came to catch such trivial matters.  Will the man named Meng let everyone live?

    The courtyard of the Provincial Department is very large, and it took Meng Ju roughly half an hour to walk around it.  When he patrolled near the official headquarters of the Internal Affairs Department, Meng Ju looked at it very carefully and carefully. He clearly checked the nearby terrain and sentry posts, and secretly remembered them in his heart.

    After getting familiar with the environment around the Internal Affairs Office, Meng Jucai leisurely walked out of the back door of the provincial office.

    It¡¯s late at night, the streets are empty and dark.  Under the faint moonlight in the sky, Meng Ju finally found No. 35 Confucius Street. He knocked on the door loudly.

    After a while, Qin Xuan came over to open the door. His face was full of sleep and he yawned loudly: "Sir Meng, so fast?"

    "Let's talk after we go in."

    In the house, Meng Ju drew a map for Qin Xuan with an oil lamp, detailed the terrain and security situation around the intelligence office, and told Qin Xuan the name and address of the exposed Yinghou. After that, he  Asked Qin Xuan: "Young Master Qin, can you remember? How about I say it again?"

    "Remember, remember!" Qin Xuan yawned repeatedly and said, "No problem, I remember it very clearly, there is no need to say it again."

    Looking at Qin Xuan's sleepy face, Meng Ju was very suspicious.  He had no other choice, so he took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and handed it over: "Young Master Qin, I don't know how much the reward will be for this task. Is one thousand taels of silver enough?"

    Qin Xuan took the money and yawned again: "Let's make do with the expenses. Chief Meng, we didn't take this task for money in the first place."

    Meng Ju originally wanted to say a few more words to Qin Xuan to express his gratitude, but seeing the sleepiness on the young man's face, as if he wished Meng Ju would disappear immediately so that he could sleep, Meng Ju finally had to say: "Please, please hurry up.  point."

    "I know, I know, Chief Meng, you are always so verbose!"

    As soon as Meng Ju stepped out, the door slammed shut behind him.  Looking at the eastern sky that was turning fish belly white, he smiled silently and bitterly.

    After returning home, it was already dawn. Meng Ju was tired and sleepy. He didn't even go to the Yamen. He changed his clothes and went to bed. This is the advantage of being a top officer. If he didn't go to the Yamen, none of his subordinates would dare to rush him.  he.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of sleep, Meng Ju slept in darkness until someone woke him up: "Lord Governor, it's not good! Wake up, wake up!"

    "Uh, uh?" Meng Ju was very unhappy when he was woken up from a sound sleep.  He tried to open his eyelids and saw that the person in front of him was Inspector Ouyang Hui of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. He said angrily: "Inspector Ouyang, what's the big deal - but how did you get into my bedroom?"

    Ouyang Hui's face was full of anxiety, and he said eagerly: "Sir, it's bad! Something happened to the Intelligence Agency! The important criminal in their custody was killed, Li Minghua was making trouble to commit suicide, and no one else could stop him - in short,  Lord Governor, please get up and take a look. Several people have died over there at the Intelligence Department, and it¡¯s now a mess!"

    Meng Ju jumped up, and all the sleepiness disappeared from his body.  Unable to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, he shouted: "Okay!"
