Peerless Pirates

Chapter 345 Jiang Kui, the Commander-in-Chief

The palace city of Daqi was not built on the site of the Forbidden City of the Six Dynasties, but on the south side of the Qinhuai River (txt download of the King of Heaven's Way). The main reason was to leave a certain strategic buffer zone between the Yangtze River and Jiangning City.

.In fact, the palace city in the Six Dynasties era had already been reduced to ashes when the Sui Dynasty destroyed Nanchen.

Jiangning City has never been destroyed by war since the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it has developed extremely prosperously. After Pang Dalai arrived in Jiangning, he did not build a formal palace city. Instead, he built a large courtyard on the east side of Yuhuatai.

.Until the time of Taizong, Da Qi Dynasty recovered from the pressure of foreign enemies.

Feeling angry, he began to build a formal palace city on the south bank of the Qinhuai River. It took more than ten years to build a three-story palace city based on the appearance of the old palace in the Southern Dynasties. The center of gravity of the entire Jiangning City began to move southward.

Subsequently, new city walls began to be built to standardize the entire Jiangning City.

Today's Jiangning City is very different from that in history. For example, on its north and west sides, tall city walls were built along Purple Mountain, Yuhuatai, Jiangjun Mountain, and Niushou Mountain, which were completely considered from the perspective of defense.

Instead of pursuing a square shape, the meandering Qinhuai River became a river running through the center of the capital. The former palace sites of the Six Dynasties have been excluded from Jiangning City. The famous Xuanwu Lake in later generations was dredged into part of the moat.

This is mainly because Pang Dalai did not have much education. Although Taizong was better, his education level was not very high. The two men had led troops and fought in wars all their lives, and they also considered this direction when building the capital. Therefore, the entire capital

We have also built a city that is either round or square, or square.

However, the palace city of Daqi is an orthodox rectangular shape, almost entirely built according to the model of the palace city of the Six Dynasties. It has three floors inside and outside, and is majestic. After all, the Daqi Dynasty is an orthodox dynasty, and the emperor's sleeping and working place should be used no matter what.

Something like that.

The Qinhuai River is winding, and there is a small "several" character in the palace city. The palace city took the Qinhuai River as its side, and dug new river channels to form the moat of the palace city. Of course, the Qinhuai River is a famous and prosperous city.

Qi Taizong did not want to monopolize the land, the place where the fireworks were, but only occupied the Qinhuai River.

In the word "ji", those boats and boats are still walking in other parts of the Qinhuai River (the latest chapter of the Evil Dragon God). The entire Qinhuai River has also become a river that passes through the center of Jiangning City, with many bridges, large and small. The river

Communication between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is extremely convenient, almost as if it were on land.

On the north bank of the Qinhuai River not far from the palace city, there is a large house. The owner of the house is surnamed Jiang Mingyuan, and he is a well-known benevolent man. Jiang Dashanren owns dozens of shops along the streets and has a huge fortune. He is also a charitable person.

Build good relationships, every day

They donate hundreds of taels of silver every year to an orphanage in Jiangning, which has an excellent reputation. However, no one thought that the big house of the Jiang family was an important gathering place for the Imperial City's foreign affairs department. No one knew that Jiang Yuan

He is the brother of Jiang Kui, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department.

The Imperial City Division among ordinary people is responsible for guarding the palace and is the Imperial City's forbidden army. In fact, it is just an internal division of the Imperial City Division. The external divisions of the Imperial City Division are located all over the country and are responsible for collecting information from officials in various places.

, exploring intelligence. There is almost no connection between the external department and the internal department.

The Foreign Division of the Imperial City Division has two deputy commanders. Jiang Kui is in charge of the south of the Yangtze River, and Duan Ren is in charge of the north of the Yangtze River. Jiang Kui is based in Jiangning, and Jiang Yuan is here where he comes most often, even

The meeting with his superiors was also arranged here. Jiang Yuan set aside nearly one-third of the area in the north of the house for Jiang Kui's use. Of course, without Jiang Kui, Jiang Yuan would not be able to maintain Nuo Da's family business.

On the night when Ming'er and others arrived in Jiangning, Li Hongniang entered the house through the side door again. The night was dark, and Li Hongniang, dressed in black, walked lightly through the dark path and came to a house.

In the main hall, an old man with a dark face and a burly body was sitting on a chair. His eyes were closed tightly, and the fingers of his left hand were tapping slowly on the back of his right hand, as if he was thinking about something.——

It was Jiang Kui.

"Sir, Commander Li would like to see you."

"Let her in!" Jiang Kui didn't open his eyes and spoke slowly.

Immediately, Li Hongniang entered the hall and knelt down on one knee, "Li Hongniang pays homage to the Vice-President."

"Yes!" Jiang Kui responded, "Do you have any news about Song Xiaolang?"

Li Hongniang clicked her teeth and said helplessly, "The Jiangning secretaries did not find Song Xiaolang's whereabouts (Latest chapter of The Great Sword Master). According to the secretaries sent across the river, Shandong Road Wuju and his party were divided into two teams, the front team

with Shandong

General Guan Xin Qiji, led by Xin Qiji, entered Jiangning two days ago. The rear team, led by a hundred households, also arrived in Jiangning this afternoon with another batch of martial arts. However, there was no Song Xiaolang among these two teams.

silhouette."

"Huh?" Jiang Kui seemed a little surprised, "Then isn't Song Xiaolang coming to Jiangning with the martial arts team? Why is there no one there?"

"Then Song Xiaolang separated from the team from Fuli Town in Suzhou and went south alone. It seems that he was tracked by some people and was forced to leave early." Li Hongniang raised her head and stared at Jiang Kui, trying to get something out of him.

I saw some clues.

"Who can track him? Huh! Could it be that Song Xiaolang was afraid of our family and deliberately left the team to delay his return?" Jiang Kui opened his eyes, but stared at his hands, as if he was admiring a piece of art.

"According to my subordinates' understanding, Song Xiaolang is very smart and very measured in his actions. He would never do such a thing!" Li Hongniang defended.

Jiang Kui shook his head gently, "I know that he was once your subordinate. But don't forget that he disappeared for a year. Who knows what he did? As soon as he returned to Licheng, he committed a crime

You are extremely daring to cause trouble! Although the Shandong Road side is not under my jurisdiction, when Song Xiaolang arrives in Jiangning this time, he will be placed under the Imperial City Division here. I still have to ask about some things."

Li Hongniang's expression tightened. Before coming to Jiang's house, she had just gone to the Song Mansion and met Ming'er. Naturally, Ming'er didn't know how Song Zheng escaped from Dajin, but the experience of returning to Licheng and even going south from Song Zheng

, Ming

Ming'er knew very well. According to Ming'er's estimate, it was the deputy capital commander in front of him who sent another person to deal with Song Zheng. Looking at the scene in front of him, even if Song Zheng came to Jiangning, he would still encounter difficulties and even murder from Jiang Kui.

Of course, Jiang Kui may be acting, maybe Song Zheng has fallen into Jiang Kui's hands, and now he is just pretending to deal with himself. Thinking of this, Li Hongniang said, "This Song Xiaolang has made great achievements.

He is highly valued by the prince. Now that his life or death is uncertain, we must check it out (Latest Chapter on the Road Home)!"

"Is he valued by the prince?" Jiang Kui sneered, "The prince is in Jiangning now. How come I haven't heard him speak once? Li Hongniang, do you want to use the prince's name to beat me?"

Li Hongniang quickly lowered her head, "I don't dare!"

"I asked you to check Song Zheng's whereabouts, but I just asked you to bring him and receive a lecture. It's better for you. Not only did you not find the boy, you also wanted to intercede and cover him. What's the point?" Jiang Kui

He squinted his eyes with cold light and stared at the woman in the audience.

"I am guilty!" Li Hongniang said coldly without raising her head.

Jiang Kui snorted again and didn't say anything for a while.

Li Hongniang asked tentatively, "Do we need to send some extra manpower to Chuzhou in Jiangbei and other places to investigate along the official road from Suzhou to Jiangning?"

"Jiangbei? Why does a mere Song Xiaolang need to mobilize so much troops? Our Waisi family has a big business, and Jiangning's affairs are not enough for you? There is no need to spend so much energy on Song Xiaolang. Isn't that Ming'er from the Imperial City Division?

?You just need to tell her that Song Xiaolang will report to you as soon as he arrives in Jiangning. I don’t believe that Song Xiaolang will not go home after he comes to Jiangning!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

Jiang Kui softened his tone and said, "The prince personally ordered that you be transferred from Shandong Road to Jiangning and placed under my subordinates. We must all serve the prince wholeheartedly. At the moment, the situation in Jiangning is becoming more and more complicated. We

You must serve the prince wholeheartedly. Even if Song Xiaolang has made some achievements on Shandong Road, he is just an ordinary secret soldier. I asked you to pay attention to one or two things, but it is just a routine review."

Jiang Kui also knew that the fact that Li Hongniang in front of him could be transferred to Jiangning, a place in the capital, showed that Pang Hui valued her, so he did not dare to criticize her harshly. Instead, he explained a few words: "You should know,

My nephew Jiang

Lin, had a conflict with Song Xiaolang in Licheng, and was injured by Song Xiaolang and became a cripple. Regardless of whether he brought it upon himself or not, everything will be handled by Deputy Duan, and I will not care about it (Interstellar Hero). I will not do anything to him because of this.

one

The little team leader of the Imperial City Division took action. However, Song Xiaolang had been separated for many years, and there was no news between them. As a rule, he was no longer a member of the Imperial City Division. Although for some unknown reason, Deputy Duan did not take back Song Zheng's identity.

, also informed

I will transfer Song Zheng and others to Jiangning Imperial City Division. Since they are going to Jiangning, I have to ask. Just like when you came to Jiangning last year, I didn’t ask the subordinates you brought with you.

Did you also review it yourself?"

"My subordinates know! But now that Song Xiaolang has disappeared, we always have to search for him? What's more, your Excellency also said that Song Zheng has now been assigned to Jiangning Imperial City Division, and he is from here. He is missing, are we?

Should we also send people to search as usual?"

Li Hongniang's tone was calm, but the meaning of her rhetorical question was obvious.

Jiang Kui didn't expect Li Hongniang to use his words to trap him, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed. However, he quickly asked, "Didn't you also say that? That Song Xiaolang is very resourceful and acts in a measured way. Now he is far away from the martial arts competition."

Compared to the day, which is only half a month away, Song Xiaolang will always be back before then!"

Li Hongniang frowned and said nothing. Jiang Kui's meaning was obvious. No matter what happened to Song Zheng, just let him come to Jiangning on his own. The Imperial City Department could not send people to search.

"Okay, let's just deal with Song Xiaolang's matter. Don't talk about him anymore. Last time, I asked you to investigate the matter of Mr. Zhongguangui keeping a private house outside. How did you go with the investigation?"

Li Hongniang hurriedly cheered up, "Sir, that man does have a house outside. It is on Hucui Street, west of the palace city. However, that is not an outside house, but the man who entrusted someone to give his sister's money to someone else.

Xiaoying got it back from Yunnan and bought a few more maids to provide food and accommodation."

"Yunnan?" Jiang Kui thought for a moment, "Send someone to watch over there. Pay attention to your whereabouts and report to me in time!"

Li Hongniang nodded.

Then, Jiang Kui asked about other matters of the Imperial City Division, and seemed to have completely forgotten about Song Zheng.
