Ling Pu was also among the invited guests.
This actually does not mean that there is any connection between him and Fuluguo Chong, but when Yinreng thought of Fuluguo Chong's greasy face, he felt that he would not bypass Ling Pu and monopolize the benefits.
Otherwise, with Ling Pu's temper, he would have made a huge fuss long ago.
He came from the capital to inspect, but Ling Pu didn't dare to come out to see him. This alone was enough to make Yinreng suspicious.
After all, he is Ling Puming's biggest backer.
As for whether he had secretly switched allegiance to someone else, Yinreng had no idea.
After reading the information recorded above, Yinreng fell into deep thought.
The grain purchased by the government was all used for the laborers. Two carts of grain were simply a drop in the bucket for such a large port.
The secret letter pointed out that the weight of the grain cart was wrong, and Yinreng could probably guess what was inside the cart.
It's nothing more than gold and silver.
Moreover, the timing of sending the money was extremely accurate by the Zhou family.
It must be that Fuluguo Chong sent the note to the county magistrate, and then the Zhou family sent the silver to the county government office.
It seems that the county magistrate here should have a deep connection with the Zhou Mansion.
Thinking that there might be a large number of people hidden in the Zhou Mansion, Yinreng's eyebrows jumped.
Could this Zhou Mansion be a den of thieves?
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.
Yinreng took a deep breath, made a decision secretly, turned around and asked,
"Is there any news about Dachun?"
"Your Highness, after making a detour on the way back to the capital, the master disguised himself and returned to the village on the outskirts of the city, less than ten miles away from the county seat."
It turned out that he was also planning to do something hidden under the lamp. Yinreng nodded.
"What about Yinzhen?"
"From the information Sun Jin conveyed last night, the Fourth Master should be safe."
"should?"
Yinreng was a little dissatisfied.
"I haven't received any news from today yet."
Yinreng frowned and thought for a moment, then made his decision.
"Send a letter to Dachun overnight, asking him to bring the brothers left outside the city and enter the city tonight. Also... where will the troops that Zhan Ming has mobilized be stationed?"
"According to your wishes, we will secretly station troops south of Ji County."
"It's not too late now. Tell Zhan Ming to hurry up and surround this county town overnight. I'll wipe him out tonight!"
When he left the capital, he brought about 500 people with him, and only about 100 elite soldiers stayed with him. Except for the 30 who entered the port, the rest were wandering outside the city.
While the dinner is still going on, ask Chen Fei to take his warrant to see the city defense commander, and Dachun and others will be able to enter the city easily.
This is also thanks to Forgo Chong's sudden impulse to hold a dinner party at home today. Otherwise, he would not have taken such a risk.
If he alerted Fuluguo Chong and the county magistrate in advance and they destroyed the evidence, how would he find the person behind it?
Yinreng originally didn't want to take such a risk, but there was no way. That little bastard Yinzhen ran to the port in a fit of anger. Although he was safe for the moment, who knew what the situation would be like tomorrow?
If he didn't speed up, he would not be able to get over the psychological pressure if something happened to Yinzhen.
At Yinreng's command, hundreds of skilled fighters in the city took action.
Dou Guangren went outside the city to inform Dachun.
Chen Fei took a few people to the city gate to clear the way for Dachun and others in advance.
The rest of the people also quickly rushed to the residences of Fuerguo Chong, the county magistrate, Ling Pu, and the commander-in-chief of the port garrison.
If these people made any unusual movements before the siege, they could respond quickly.
Inside the city wall gate tower, the garrison captain, Haledun, was drinking with his captains, and he was not very happy.
He was born into the Nata clan of the Bordered White Banner and did not hold a high position in the banner, but he had good luck in his early years and was able to curry favor with Fucha Yilibu. With Yilibu's help, he got a position as a captain (sixth rank) under the current commander-in-chief.
Originally, he was the most trusted commander among the thousand commanders, and was promoted to garrison commander (fifth rank) two years ago. Unfortunately, Yilibu fell into trouble, and as a result, he became increasingly unpopular with the commander.
Haledun could only lament his bad luck.
Why didn't Yilibu wait until he was promoted before being kicked out of the personal army camp?
Today his immediate superior went to a banquet, and all the other colleagues of the same rank as him were taken away, leaving him alone to defend the city.
Haredun felt resentful, but he did not dare to disobey the commander's order directly. He could only drink some wine to relieve his boredom while on duty.
When he heard someone wanted to see him, Haredun's face, which was already a little drunk, was filled with impatience.
"Who dares to ask to see me? Tell him to get out!"
"Sir, the person who came said he was the prince's personal guard."
"What do you mean by personal guard or not... Wait, whose personal guard are you saying he is?"
The person who came to report repeated it again.
"The Prince's personal guard!"
Haredun was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and the smell of alcohol on his body was mostly gone.
Why did the prince's personal guard come to see him?
Haredun's mind raced with thoughts, and then he urgently ordered one of his captains,
"Quick, send someone to notify the commander!"
His future depends on the commander. If he reports the matter in time, the commander might be able to avoid losing his head, and he can also use this opportunity to get close to the commander.
From then on, he rose to prominence!
My head is still a little confused,
"Why do we need to notify..."
Before he could finish his words, several men in traveling robes came in from the gatehouse. The leader asked loudly,
"Who is the commander going to notify?"
When Haledun saw Chen Fei, he thought to himself that he was in trouble. He saluted Chen Fei with a wry smile, but behind his back he was frantically making gestures to his subordinates.
