Chapter 184: Three Spies
Chapter 1,84 Three Spy
This is indeed a problem that bothered the two. If they were replaced again, they would naturally be very guarded and would not have any effect. However, the maids and others inside were all from the Leng Concubine's country, and they had no way to contact them or bribe them. Therefore, there was only one way, and then bribe the only Han people among them, the translator!
But this translator never expected that he would suddenly become a person that all three parties would win over, and this party was actually Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Regarding Jiang Lang's candidate, Jiang Chengzhi pondered for a moment and asked, "Is this person reliable?"
In fact, Jiang Lang had only had a few contacts with the translator. He was really unsure of whether this person was reliable or not. After thinking about it, he said: "It's better to do this. Send someone to investigate his background first. He is from our Ming Dynasty, so it should be easy to investigate!"
Jiang Chengzhi nodded. This is indeed a solution. Of course, people with problems cannot use it, otherwise it will attract suspicion!
Now I arranged someone to investigate some basic situations of this translation.
The translator is also from the capital, so it is not too difficult to master his information. Two days later, a piece of information about the translation was sent to Jiang Lang and Jiang Chengzhi. Through the information, we also learned about the real situation of the translation. His original name was Hu Yuanshan, a native of the capital. He is now thirty years old. His family was originally doing business and ran the sea route between the Ming Dynasty and India. However, his family fell into decline and a good family declined. Because he had been in contact with Indians for a long time and was familiar with their language, he was selected as a translator after Concubine Leng entered the palace. Now he has a wife and child who is about ten years old and is studying in a private school.
From this point of view, this translation, or Hu Yuanshan's background, is quite simple, and his home is in Beijing and his wife and children are very easy to control and are also suitable for being bribed!
So Jiang Lang confirmed that this person was the informant of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei. As for Jiang Chengzhi, after seeing Hu Yuanshan's conditions, he also felt it was very suitable, so he also notified the guards in the palace to inform Hu Yuanshan.
But Hu Yuanshan didn't know that it was already very late and was about to leave Lengyue Palace, but when he reached the door, someone suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Hu Yuanshan!"
Hu Yuanshan was stunned and looked in the voice. He called him a guard standing at the door. He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Are you calling me?"
The guard nodded, then quickly handed over a piece of paper and whispered: "Do as you said above!"
After saying that, he stopped talking.
Hu Yuanshan also felt something stuffed in his hand, so he grabbed it tightly, then walked out quietly. After leaving the palace, he found a place with lights with an address on it!
Looking at this address, it was an inn. Although the words "Speed" were written on it, I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could it be that someone was waiting for me so late?
However, the adults also said before that if there was something, he would send someone to contact him, that is, the one who was waiting for him was actually from Dongchang. If he was from Dongchang, it would not work if he didn't go there.
After thinking about it, Hu Yuanshan decided to go there. No matter whether there are anyone waiting for him or not, he would just take a few more steps when he came. Anyway, it would be too late to go back by himself, and he didn't care if he was a little later!
So I put the note in my pocket, identified the direction, and walked towards the place above the note.
Soon, I arrived at the place on the note. This was a small shop. Although it was a little late, it was not closed yet!
Hu Yuanshan was not sure if this person was still waiting for him, so he walked to the shopkeeper and asked, "Are there any guests in the No. 3 room above?"
The shopkeeper looked up at Hu Yuanshan and then said, "I'm still here, please come here!"
After saying that, he called the waiter and took Hu Yuanshan to walk upwards. After arriving at the door, the waiter knocked on the door gently and said, "Callant, you are here!"
Hu Yuanshan couldn't help but be surprised. The waiter in the shop knew that he was waiting for him inside?
In fact, he didn't know that this was just a stronghold of the Dongchang. To monitor the entire capital, it was not only relying on those open people, but also on those secret people. They might be a vendor, an inn, or an honest farmer. No one would know their identity without revealing their identity. The restaurant was from the Dongchang. From the shopkeeper to the waiter, the only difference is that the waiter here has a salary of more ordinary waiters!
"Come in!"
The person inside shouted at this time. Hu Yuanshan suddenly felt that the sound was extremely familiar. When he went in, he found that the person waiting inside was the head of the Dongchang Factory, the factory supervisor Wang, and there was another person. Although he didn't know each other, the two of them were drinking each other, and he could tell that his status was definitely not low!
The foot couldn't help but feel soft, and he quickly knelt down to the ground and said, "Caomin, please see Lord Wang!"
To be honest, I thought that the person who was looking for him might be an ordinary official from the East Factory, but I never expected that the person who was looking for him was the headmaster of the East Factory. This surprised him and couldn't help but wonder what was actually asking him to come to meet him in person?
"Get up!"
Jiang Lang said lightly, then said, "Your name is Hu Yuanshan, right?"
Hu Yuanshan was stunned, then nodded immediately and said, "Caomin is!"
Others are the manager of Dongchang. How easy is it to find out about your own name?
Jiang Lang also continued: "Your home lives in the capital, and both parents die. There is also a wife and a ten-year-old son in this home. This son is now in a private school."
Hu Yuanshan was shocked and felt that things were a little simple. They even found out what their family members were doing. What was the purpose of? Could it be that they called themselves just because of this?
It would never be so simple. If it were simple, there would be no need for him to take action personally. He is the head of the Dongchang Factory, and he is just a cannibal. This status relationship is more than a thousand times different? So what exactly did he look for himself? Hu Yuanshan was full of doubts about this.
Jiang Lang turned his head and looked at Hu Yuanshan with a puzzled look on his face, then said, "Don't be nervous. I came to you today. There is something to do. If it is done well, I will naturally give you a great reward. If it is done poorly, I will not make things difficult for you, but you must strictly keep all the secrets!"
Hu Yuanshan was already a little nervous now and immediately said, "Sir, please say, I will do my best to do my best!"
What they want to do is definitely not a simple thing. If it is a simple thing, he will naturally not take action himself. Moreover, he just mentioned his family, that is, everything about him is in their control. In other words, they have actually controlled themselves, just like Nehru.
Sta was like controlling Concubine Leng. If she was accidentally in danger, it would be not only her who was in danger, but also her own wife and son. In fact, she sometimes felt quite sympathetic to Concubine Leng because she was Nehru.
Sta's control and does nothing, but now he is the same, but who is sympathetic to him? Although they don't say what they want to do.
Regarding Hu Yuanshan's agreement, Jiang Lang nodded slightly and said, "What I want you to do is actually not complicated. It's very simple. Just report the incident in their Lengyue Palace to the Dongchang or Jinyiwei. Of course, we will not forget you. A considerable amount of money will be sent to your home every month, which is enough to allow you to live a good life!"
Hu Yuanshan now understood that what they wanted to do on their own was actually monitoring Leng Yue Palace, and actually monitoring Leng Concubine and Nehru.
Sta, and this is not only the East Factory, but also the Jinyiwei, the two major forces in the capital, joined forces to interfere in this matter. It can be seen that things are definitely not simple.
Hu Yuanshan knew that he could not refuse at all, or that he could not refuse. The factory supervisor of Dongchang who spoke, another person who did not speak was probably the Jinyiwei. After thinking about it carefully, he actually understood that in the entire Lengyue Palace, except himself, the rest were brought by Leng Concubine and the others. In other words, the outside was monitored by the court, but it could not be monitored by the here, so he had to rely on himself.
There is no way to shirk this, so Hu Yuanshan nodded quickly and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Wang, I will do my best!"
"very good!"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back. Every two days I will send someone to contact you. You have to remember what happened here clearly and don't miss it!"
"Yes, yes, sure!"
Hu Yuanshan quickly agreed and then left the house. He was relieved. At some point, he had become such a hot character. Concubine Leng wanted to monitor Nehru by herself.
Sta, and Nehru.
Sta wants to monitor Concubine Leng himself again. Now the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei have to monitor their two people at the same time. Is there any secret between these two people? Need the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei, the two largest forces in the capital, monitor them?
Thinking of this, Hu Yuanshan found that he seemed to be in a particularly dangerous situation, because neither side could expose himself. Once it was exposed, that side would be very dangerous!
These things seem to make people feel breathless!
But there is no way, no matter what, I have to do this myself!
When he walked downstairs and was about to go out, suddenly, the shopkeeper shouted: "Please go slowly if objectively!"
Hu Yuanshan stopped and looked at the shopkeeper with some confusion, wondering what he wanted to do?
The shopkeeper took out a paper-wrapped thing from under the counter, handed it over, and said, "This is what the guest above asked me to hand it over to you, please keep it!"
Hu Yuanshan took the thing strangely and was very heavy to get it. He didn't open it at the moment, but left the door of the inn!
As soon as he went out, Hu Yuanshan suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him all the time. His back felt a chill, so he couldn't help but speed up and rushed towards his home!
Soon, he returned home. This was just a very ordinary courtyard in the capital. There were three rooms here, one where his children slept, and the other was the couple's bedroom. After returning in a hurry, his wife couldn't help but ask strangely: "Why did you come back so late?"
Hu Yuanshan quickly lied: "Concubine Leng suddenly had something to do, so she stayed there for a while and Xiao'er was asleep?"
His wife nodded and said, "I've slept and had some food, why don't I get some for you?"
Hu Yuanshan shook his head and looked at his wife. He suddenly felt very guilty about her. He thought that when she married her, she was somewhat glorious, but he didn't expect that the family would fall into trouble. Now that she has reached this stage, she has also endured hardships with her. Now she has become the target of surveillance by Dongchang and Jinyiwei. This is all she is sorry for her!
At that moment, my heart couldn't help but soften and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
His wife was stunned. His husband actually said such words. He smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "It's all old husband and wife, why are you talking about these things? By the way, what are you holding!"
Hu Yuanshan then realized that he put the thing in his hand on the table, and with a thud, he thought about it even more!
Curiously, I peeled off the paper outside, but revealed a golden light inside, and a dazzling light flashed under some not-so-bright lights indoors.
"gold?"
Hu Yuanshan couldn't help but be stunned. He never expected that there were several golden gold ingots in it, a total of three, each of which was a total of hundreds of taels. This sum was more than three hundred taels!
Now he also realized that these things must have been given by that adult. He never expected that his move would be so generous. This move would be worth three hundred taels of gold! For himself now, it was a huge amount of wealth.
His wife was also stunned. When his husband came back, he was a little flustered. Could it be that he stolen it, so he wrapped it in paper and then ran back in a panic?
He also asked, "My husband, where is your gold?"
When Hu Yuanshan heard this, he turned his head to look at it, and saw that his wife's face was full of suspicious eyes. It seemed that he had misunderstood himself, and then said, "You misunderstood. This thing was given by someone else, and I don't know what it is?"
He said this in his wife's eyes, and then he said strangely: "Have you never seen what others gave you?"
Hu Yuanshan shook his head. He had never seen it before. He ran out in a panic and went there to see what it was. Now he found that it was gold inside and it was huge.
"Who gave you that? This move is so generous?"
His wife asked again!
Hu Yuanshan really couldn't speak. Could it be that it was given by Mr. Wang, the factory manager of the East Factory? She certainly didn't believe it when she said it. The factory manager of the East Factory was not something that ordinary people could see. If she said it out, she was just a small translator. What's more, this factory manager is not a god of wealth. You will be gold as soon as you meet?
On the other hand, Lord Wang is determined not to say anything he wants to do, and he will naturally become even more nervous when he says it. In that case, he probably won’t be able to complete the task. If he can’t complete it, wouldn’t they be in danger?
So Hu Yuanshan immediately said, "Yes... it is Nehru Sta, the general manager of Concubine Leng. He gave me it and said that I have done a good job during this period, so I gave me some rewards. I didn't expect that it would be gold inside!"
But this statement obviously made people disbelief. The chief officer was so generous that he could get more than 300 taels of gold at one move. Seeing his wife's eyes that still didn't believe it, Hu Yuanshan suddenly became a little anxious and immediately said: "Don't worry, this gold is definitely the right way. If I don't steal it or rob it, you will feel at ease!"
After saying that, he hurriedly wrapped the gold and put it in the cabinet. He took off his shoes and socks and lay on the bed without washing his feet. At this time, he could only speak the darker the more he said. Not to mention him, even if he was from her perspective, he would not believe that someone would suddenly give him hundreds of taels of gold. In addition, he was in the palace, so it was easy to think that the gold was stolen from the palace, although it was not something stolen.
In fact, I couldn't help but complain to Jiang Lang. It was bad for anything to give, and I had to give gold. Now, I was misunderstood by my wife to be a thief!
Her wife did misunderstand. She never expected that her husband would steal gold from the palace and come back. You should know that her husband was a literati and well-educated person. When did he actually do this?
Looking at her husband who was lying on the bed, she sighed slightly and lay beside her, but looked at the roof above her head and said, "Mr., I know that this family is burdened with you and you are very tired, but I always believe that life will be better. Through our own efforts, rather than using other methods. Since you don't want to say more, I will ask, you can return these things from where you come from. The family is not rich, but we cannot use these money of unknown origin!"
