At this time, one of his subordinates brought the steward up. The steward was so frightened that he could not straighten up. He confused Li Ye and Yang Jian, thinking that they were in the same group. Yang Jian's men were very cruel, and Zhuang Ding was killed by them. Nearly twenty people were arrested, which frightened the manager.

"Spare your life!"

"I can spare your life, but you have to tell me where Wu Ying fled to and how to find him?"

"I really don't know where Wu Ying escaped to, but I have a clue."

"you say!"

"Wu Ying asked me to prepare a fake fish charm for him. I bought him a fake one. His name is Mao Ping, the chief registrar of Fuping County. This person is real. He used to be the chief registrar of Fuping County, but three years ago He died of illness, I don’t know anything else, he refused to say anything.”

Li Ye nodded, pointed at the blazing fire and said: "The people who set the fire are Yang Guozhong's men and are not with us. If they can't catch Wu Ying, they will definitely kill you to vent their anger. You should run away quickly!"

The steward's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly saluted, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

He turned around and ran away in panic.

Li Ye got on his horse and shouted: "Let's go!"

Zhang Ping said quickly: "Should we wait for news?"

"They can't catch them, they're a bunch of idiots!"

Li Ye cursed and walked away on horseback. Zhang Ping quickly led his men to follow Li Ye and left Fuping County.

Everyone on the way back to Chang'an from Fuping County was very silent. The reason for this failure was indeed unexpected, but it was reasonable. People like Yang Jian were still incompetent. He didn't expect that the other party would have a secret whistle, break in recklessly, and do bad things. Something big happened.

Li Ye was worried. How could he not be worried? He missed the best opportunity. It would be difficult to find Wu Ying next time. Li Ye was worried that Wu Ying was hiding and would come out to do evil again after he left Chang'an. By then, I'm afraid my father will be in extreme danger.

We still have to find a way to find Wu Ying. The only clue now is that Wu Ying changed his name to Mao Ping and pretended to be the chief registrar of Fuping County. In addition, Wu Ying didn't have much money. He only got a dozen taels of silver from the manor, plus From the previous fifty taels of silver, he only had more than sixty taels of silver. For ordinary people, he could live for a few years, but for Wu Ying, who had been pampered since childhood, he could not hold on to these dozens of taels of silver for long.

It is unlikely that he will come back to ask for money from his sister, but Wu Ying is good at martial arts, so he may use his martial arts to steal money.

How to use these clues to find Wu Ying again, Li Ye was silent for a while.

Back in Chang'an, it was still dusk, and Li Ye said to Zhang Ping: "Please find two smart men to monitor Wu Ying's sister. I will subsidize each of them with the same amount of money every day."

Zhang Ping shook his head, "Don't ask for money. We have special surveillance experts who are responsible for surveillance and their income is very high. I will arrange for two unobtrusive people to set up a small stall to cover you. You don't have to worry about me. "

Zhang Ping thought of another thing and said to Li Ye: "Wu Ying's sister told us something last night. Wu Ying also has a name, Nie Ying, double-eared Nie, the eagle of the eagle. He is basically everywhere. Use this name."

"I see!"

Li Ye nodded and asked: "Are there any bounty hunters in Chang'an?"

"Of course there are, there are dozens of masters, and my adoptive father is very familiar with them. What, you want to catch him with the help of a bounty hunter?"

Li Ye sighed, "Not only do we need to catch him, we also need to find him first and then finally kill him. Now we can only use various means to achieve our goals."

"OK!"

Zhang Ping said happily: "When my adoptive father summons the bounty hunters, I will inform you."

After breaking up with Zhang Ping, Li Ye immediately came to Yanshoufang and found a medium-sized mansion. He stepped forward and patted the door knocker. Someone behind him smiled and said, "Is that General Li?"

When Li Ye turned around, he saw a middle-aged man behind him. It was the proprietor of Gaosheng Inn, Mr. Xie, who he was looking for. At the birthday banquet of old lady Dugu, Mr. Xie and his wife were sitting next to him.

Li Ye quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, proprietor, long time no see."

"It's been several days. General Li has something to do with me?"

"I have a little favor to ask the proprietor for."

Boss Xie nodded, "We'll talk after we go in!"

The two of them entered the guest room and sat down respectively. Li Ye asked, "If I want to track down a person staying in the hotel, can I track him down?"

Boss Xie smiled slightly and said: "If there is a name that can be checked, at least Gaosheng Inn can do it. I will send the name to more than 300 Gaosheng Inns in various places in advance. If this person comes to stay, the shopkeeper will immediately notify me by pigeon letter. , we often assist the court in catching wanted criminals.”

Li Ye wrote a name and handed it to Boss Xie. Boss Xie took it, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Isn't Fuping County Chief Secretary Mao Ping dead?"

"The person I'm checking may have a fake name. He won't use his real name."

Boss Xie nodded and asked, "Is there any other name?"

Li Ye wrote the word Nie Ying again, and Boss Xie smiled and said: "I will handle this matter early tomorrow morning. Don't worry, General Li. As long as these two names appear, shopkeepers from all over the country will notify me immediately!"

“Thank you to the proprietor, I will bear all the money and materials needed!”

Boss Xie smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a little effort. From now on, I will go to Suiye to open a shop. Please take care of me, General!"

Li Ye nodded and smiled: "As long as the proprietor comes to open a store, I will give him a piece of official land covering an area of ​​three acres in Suiye City."

Li Ye returned to Taipingfang Mansion and met his father's carriage at the door. Under Li Ye's persuasion, Li Dai no longer rode a horse, but rode a carriage to the court. The carriage was an official carriage, very strong and strong, and could defend against crossbows. According to regulations, both Jingzhao Yin and Jingzhao Shaoyin can be equipped with carriages. Of course Jingzhao Mansion has this condition.

In addition, there were four guards with swords, riding horses and following on both sides of the carriage. This was the treatment given to high-ranking officials by Jingzhao Mansion. Li Dai did not want it at first, but after repeated persuasion from his wife and children, he accepted it. Personal safety was important.

As the deputy minister of Jingzhao Prefecture, Li Dai is very busy, but he is not too busy. Jingzhao Prefecture has twenty-two counties under its jurisdiction, and each county has its own county magistrate. If anything happens, it will naturally happen. It is the county magistrate who gets busy first. Only when something big happens, the Jingzhao Mansion will be notified, and Jingzhao Shaoyin or Jingzhao Yin will rush to deal with it.

Jingzhao Shaoyin is actually more responsible for handling various reports sent from various counties, various assessments of county officials, etc. After all, major events do not happen every day, and many things are nothing at all. For example, when the Shenlong Party was Chang'an does evil and harms the people. At most, the county will come out to persuade them, but in the end it is often left alone, and it does not affect Jingzhao Mansion at all.

But the assassination of a powerful family member is a big deal. The key is to look at the person.

"Ye'er, how are you today?" Li Dai asked his son.

Li Ye shook his head and said: "I was stabbed by the Qingshan Tower of the Yang family. He ran away and was not caught."

"Then wait for the next opportunity. Don't be too anxious. But you just mentioned Qingshan Tower. There is something I want to discuss with you."

The father and son returned to the inner hall and sat down. The maid came in and served them tea.

Li Dai then said: "You know Qingshan Tower! It can be regarded as the private army of the Yang family and can be equipped with armor and heavy weapons."

Li Ye nodded, "I know, the world has specially approved it, what's wrong?"

"The problem is this armor and heavy weapons. The emperor only approved 300 armored warriors, but the Yang family actually purchased a thousand sets. Today, Wannian County Government intercepted 500 sets. Feng Min reported to me immediately.

I visited Qingshan House this afternoon. The manager admitted that they had purchased a thousand units, but he said the extra units were for spares. They actually only have three hundred people, but the problem is that there are nearly a thousand villagers in the Yang family manor. Although they are not equipped with armor or heavy weapons for the time being, once the Yang family is in need, these villagers will immediately transform into an army, which will be far more than 300 people. How do you think this matter should be handled? "
