For Yan Zipei, Qinghe's prosperity is incomprehensible.
Yes, he used the word unreasonable.
After all, Qinghe was not a resource-rich new city developed by a country in the wilderness on its border, but a place with hundreds of years of history that was considered to be "carefully governed" by the Chen Dynasty.
It is impossible that every county magistrate sent to Qinghe by the Chen Dynasty in the past few hundred years was an idiot. If this place could really become so prosperous and powerful, there is no reason why no one could do it.
Then, abnormality is a demon.
As the leader of the Eagle Control Guard, Yan Zipei needs to go to Qinghe in person to find this monster, and either bring it back to Zhongdu to let His Majesty see if it can be used, or simply destroy it.
Of course, it would be good to see Lin Hai's true intentions. If Lin Hai is truly loyal as he claimed in his memorial, and is simply being ostracized and forced to protect himself, then it's not impossible to give him a chance to serve his country, as long as he is willing to hand over Qinghe.
If he was really a traitor as rumored in the court, and he brought dozens of Eagle Control Guards masters with him, it would only take half a cup of tea to eliminate him for the country.
After all, although His Majesty reluctantly gave Lin Hai the title of Earl, he knew that if it were not wartime, if the empire did not really need Qinghe's output, then the best outcome for such a warlord who only obeyed orders and even had semi-independent tendencies would be to have his neck twisted by the Eagle Control Guard master who sneaked into the bedroom.
The next day it had to be announced that he died of illness.
This is the kindest thing to do.
Of course, Lin Hai didn't think so. In general, Lin Hai still felt that it was better for people to be alive, especially himself and the people around him.
To achieve this goal, the moment Yan Zipei entered Jinguan City, the entire Jinguan City Intelligence Station began to work around Yan Zipei, and even Gao Bin felt left out.
As for being monitored and even possibly assassinated, Yan Zipei had anticipated this. After all, everyone in the industry knew how the county magistrate who took office in Qinghe died. He even felt that the so-called intelligence department of Qinghe was too rough in its work. How could they just kill him directly?
It is not difficult to get rid of a troublesome official, whether it is to sideline him directly after taking office, make his presence known as if he had not come, or find an opportunity to make him catch a cold, and then let the illness develop from a minor one to a major one, and finally declare that no medicine can cure him, these are all milder approaches that everyone agrees with.
"A bunch of rookies who just entered the industry and are nothing." This is how Chief Yan evaluated Wang Zuo and his subordinates.
"Qinghe is a place that adheres to the rule of law, and Yan Zipei is also an official of the empire. As long as he does not violate the laws of Qinghe, we cannot take direct action against him. As for the empire, everything should focus on maintaining stability." This is Lin Hai's guidance on how to deal with Yan Zipei.
Of course, Wang Zuo really wanted to have a fight with this great leader Yan.
After all, as an intelligence agency of a big country like Daliang, the Eagle Control Guard has strength. Whether it is against infiltration, lurking, sabotage and assassination of enemy countries, or monitoring of internal officials, the Eagle Control Guard is well-known. Although it cannot firmly suppress the Jinyiwei of the Chen Dynasty, the two sides have fought for hundreds of years without a clear winner, which shows the strength of the Eagle Control Guard.
Such a behemoth of the underground battlefield turned its sights to Qinghe. Its leader, the uncrowned king of the entire northern darkness, personally brought his elite subordinates into his sphere of influence, just a few hundred miles away from him, and was even moving closer to him.
Just thinking about these things made Wang Zuo so excited that he couldn't sleep, and he even lost the interest to go and watch the "Palace Maids Tour Group".
Of course, as Qinghe's intelligence chief, it was normal for Wang Zuo to be unable to sleep. After all, Lin Hai had told him very seriously that Qinghe seemed powerful and was actually very powerful, but it was far from being powerful enough to be fearless and scare everyone, so Qinghe still needed to be protected.
Especially at this critical juncture, any small damage will cause huge losses to Qinghe's future. At least last night, the intelligence department's agents caught a person who tried to set fire to the stored grain outside the granary.
To say they caught him wouldn't be entirely accurate. Although the agents had tracked down the suspect based on clues and caught him red-handed when he tried to enter the granary through the back wall, the suspect's timely suicide ultimately left Wang Zuo with nothing.
However, Wang Zuo still made full use of it. Today, just as Chief Yan was about to enter Qinghe territory, the leading scouts found the body of this spy on a big tree by the roadside.
Yan Zipei was not angry about this. Instead, he ordered someone to take the body to the Qinghe Public Security Office to report the case, saying that a body had been found and a suspected homicide had occurred in Qinghe. He hoped that the Qinghe officials would investigate and solve the case and give justice to the deceased.
"Look, this is a waste of time." Lin Hai said sarcastically, "You wanted to disgust Yan Zipei, but he turned out to be even more disgusting than you. Since this is a battle between masters, don't use inferior methods.
However, since Yan Zipei came to Qinghe under the pretext of recuperation and in a private capacity, there is no need to worry about it officially. If he doesn't speak up, I will pretend I don't know and leave the rest to you."
Soon, the day after Yan Zipei rented an elegant courtyard, an intelligence officer dressed in a security uniform arrived to report the case's progress. They said it had been solved: two bandits from out of town had robbed and killed the man at night. However, these bandits were so skilled and ferocious that the security officers couldn't hold back during their arrests. They had no choice but to shoot them all with crossbows, avenging the victim.
