Just as Song Jia was hurriedly starting preparations, Zheng Sancai had already assigned tasks.

The coordinates are Hengguang Kang University Study Room. Zheng Sancai first called Lu Da and Lu Er, a pair of Fuzhou locals, into the door from Yiqian's subordinates waiting outside the door. Then he took out two bags of 50 taels of broken silver.

Put it in front of the two brothers: "This little silver is not a reward, it is reserved for you to use on the road. If you encounter soldiers and horses patrolling the city, or soldiers on the city gate tower, you can use the broken silver to send it."

The Lu brothers responded in unison.

"You are geography geeks, you are familiar with the road." Zheng Sancai said this, walked around from behind the table to the brothers, stretched out a slap: "500 taels. Just bring the news to the boss, I have 500 taels here."

You will be rewarded with silver, but how much the master will reward you is another matter."

Seeing the excitement of the two brothers, Zheng Sancai couldn't help but tell him again: "You two will go separately later, Lu Da will go to the south gate, and Lu Er will go to the Jinglou Gate. Don't worry, he will be the one who arrives later, and he will be rewarded with silver."

Every penny counts, so don’t be greedy for merit on the road and be careful.”

"Here!" the two brothers responded with their hands crossed.

"Go ahead."

After watching the two brothers walk out of the study, Zheng San let out a sigh of relief, then turned to Zheng Huairen who was sitting beside him and said: "The great master you have made will know about it tonight, and your benefits will definitely be indispensable in the future. As for now, you are still

It's best to leave early. By the way, sister, you still have to work hard, don't be lazy."

Hearing this, Zheng Huairen stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first, and Ming Dynasty will send a man to find out the result."

Zheng Sancai, who followed Zheng Huairen out of the study, looked at the dozen or so subordinates gathered in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. After thinking for a moment, he beckoned a thin young man over.

Leading the young man to the corridor, Zheng Sancai said in a low voice: "The south gate is the key point, Bai Yu'er. Just follow Lu Da without making any noise. After he leaves the city safely, come back and let me know."

The young man nodded, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Zheng Sancai then said loudly to the others: "Keep an eye on both the front and back doors. Anyone with news will be brought to me. If you have nothing to do, go and have a rest. Please sleep with your clothes on."

After sending everyone away, Zheng Sancai took out an earthen basin from the house and threw it in the courtyard, and began to make the last preparation: burning letters.

The malice shown by the government today made Zheng Sancai shudder. Even under the best circumstances, if Zheng Zhilong escapes the catastrophe this time, there will inevitably be continuous battles in the future to achieve a result.

He couldn't tell how the government would treat Heng Guangkang. After all, after tonight, the two sides were completely at odds.

That's why Zheng San started burning letters.

The shape of Fuzhou City in the Ming Dynasty was basically a perfect circle. Dezhengfang, where Heng Guangkang was located, was located on the lower right side of the city. In other words, the time when the two Lu Dalu brothers sent out to report the news arrived at their respective city gates.

, which is almost the same.

The South Gate where Lu Da goes is the most critical location: Zheng Zhilong is just across the wall from the South Gate Guan Pier. If everything goes well, Lu Da will be able to complete the task soon.

As for the Jingloumen that Lu Er went to, the route was completely different: Jingloumen is in the north of Fuzhou City, in the upper right corner, and outside the gate is the Minjiang Shipyard with numerous large and small shipyards.

The reason for arranging Lu Er's insurance is because there is a hidden line from the Zheng family in the Minjiang Shipyard area. Even if something happens at the south gate, Lu Er can use the private boat released by the Minjiang Shipyard to bring the news to the south port of the city.

The basic layout of Fuzhou Station is as follows: Xue Haiyuan, who is closest to the Jinglou Gate in the north, is responsible for intercepting Lu Er.

When Xue Haiyuan first came to Fuzhou, the main purpose was actually to buy ships. At that time, the Danyuan Shipyard was newly built and lacked the construction capacity of ships above 100 tons, so Xue Haiyuan built a business store near Jingloumen to facilitate his purchase of ships and goods.

Unexpectedly, today he hit the spot: Xue Haiyuan now has plenty of time, so he can arrange things in advance in front of the Jinglou gate and just wait and see.

Song Jia was a little nervous.

The Yamen Bridge where Carrefour is located was later called the Macau Bridge area, and its location is roughly parallel to the Hengguangkang Silk and Satin Factory.

In other words, the distance between the two sides from the south gate is almost the same, which is two points of the triangle. So Song Jia is now sitting on the road: Lu Da set off before him, and he must use faster speed to catch up with the target.

However, Lu Da also thought so.

Lu Da, who was stimulated by the high amount of silver reward, wanted to have two wings at this moment. He informed the big boss outside the city early, and then his two brothers could reach the top of their lives overnight. He knew that the silver reward was not false.

The sea lords have a huge amount of money.

In addition, he is responsible for the safekeeping of the identification flags sold by Hengguangkang every month. He knows very well how much silver is in the silver cellar in Hengguangkang's backyard.

Lu Da, who was hurriedly walking in the night, relied on his familiarity to cross the streets and alleys, dodge the patrolmen, and rely on the bright moonlight above his head and the brilliant starlight of the Milky Way in the distance. It only took him half an hour to get there.

Heng Guangkang rushed to the south gate of Fuzhou City.

Of course, Lu Da, who was so excited, didn't notice the little tail behind him.

Looking at the dark south gate not far ahead, Lu Da walked slowly over. The city gate was definitely hopeless. He didn't have the ability to ask the doormen to open the south gate of Fuzhou for him in the middle of the night: even if it was peacetime now

, without the presence of a big shot at the prefect level, the city gate cannot be opened.

Lu Da's goal is the hanging basket on the tower.

The hanging basket is a very useful thing. During war, the hanging basket can lower lobbyists, messengers, negotiators, and other characters from the city wall to communicate with the enemy.

In peacetime, in a big city like Fuzhou, almost every few days, someone would have to leave the city urgently. There were emergencies, people seeking medical treatment, and the master would go to look for the second young master on the West Lake Boat Boat and go back to mourn in all kinds of strange ways.

, to name a few.

So when Lu Da hurried forward a few steps and came to the bottom of the city cave, saw the dim lantern above his head, and heard the lazy voice: "Who is coming?", he was not at all worried.

Not to worry about.

Two city men wearing old uniforms and holding spears were leaning crookedly on the city wall, opening their hazy sleepy eyes and looking at Lu Da.

The Ming Dynasty has been at peace for more than 250 years. Except for the Japanese pirates in Jiajing, who were frightened three times a night for several years, the citizens of Fuzhou City have always been lazy. These two are the ones on night shift.

Most of the troops were sleeping in the wing room at the entrance of the door.

After Lu Da heard this, he immediately stood under the lantern and said in an urgent voice: "I am out of the city. My master is ill and I want to ask Li Yizhen from Guanxiang in the south of the city to see a doctor."

"Oh, you doctor, have you brought your travel money?" When the two servants heard that they were leaving the city, they immediately came over holding spears: According to the rules, they can get some travel money for this kind of thing.

, so the two of them immediately became active.

"Take it, take it." Lu Da hurriedly reached into his arms, took out a handful of copper coins, and placed them in an old, dark, chapped hand that had been stretched out in front of him.

After the doorman retracted his hand, using the dim light of the lantern above his head, he realized that his hand was filled with fine Jiajing gold coins. He suddenly smiled and his attitude became much kinder: "Go up, you are on duty tonight."

It’s Boss Ding, don’t neglect him.”

"Thank you, thank you." Lu Da didn't dare to delay anymore. He left behind the two doormen who were trying to share the money, turned around and ran to the right in large strides. Anyone who has traveled to the city gate tower knows that you have to go up to the gate tower.

Just go up the horse path next to it, either left or right.

Lu Da quickly climbed up the gate tower.

In addition to two more lanterns hanging and a few more soldiers on duty, the gate tower was also lifeless. Lu Da knew that he would see the real owner next: the gatekeeper.

The city gate guards in the Taipei period did not have high official positions. The one who is on duty today is General Ding Hu.

When several subordinates surrounded Lu Da and entered the city gate tower, the short and stocky General Ding, who was wearing an old official robe and a full beard, was holding a Yan Fei Dao and sitting on the high chair at the top.

He was closing his eyes to meditate. When he heard someone's voice, he opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Da: "Master Ding, my surname is Ma, my master."

When Mr. Ding heard Lu Da say his last name, he knew that this person had a lot of money. So he quickly squeezed out a smile on his face: "This housekeeper also has to pay for it when he goes out of the city.

.”

"Easy to say, easy to say." Lu Da reached into his arms again, and this time he took out a handful of broken silver worth about ten taels.

He reached down and grabbed the broken silver from Lu Da's hand, picked out a piece and took a bite in his mouth. After discovering that it was indeed fine snow-silk silver, Mr. Ding laughed and jumped up from his chair:

"Young men, Butler Ma has given you enough reward. Please send the good people out of the city carefully. Don't neglect it!"

Several city officials suddenly beamed with joy, and together with Mr. Ding, they surrounded Lu Da and went out.

In any industry, there are insiders, and the so-called backer eats the mountain. If outsiders who don’t know the insider want to get better services, there is only one way: spend more money.

The hanging basket system on the city tower is actually a large windlass water lift, which is not much different from the windlass beside the well in ordinary people's homes. Since Lu Da paid more money today, he received extra care: the city servants first let him

He sat in the hanging basket and then rolled it with the windlass. After the hanging basket was pulled up beyond the height of the crenel, someone pushed the boom again, and Lu Da was moved flatly outside the city wall.

The next step is very simple. As long as the windlass turns, Lu Da will be lowered into the city, and the whole process will be safe and sound. As for those who are reluctant to spend more money and bargain, the city guards are usually too lazy to serve: the hanging basket is hanging outside the wall. Think about it.

The city climbed over the crenels and climbed into the hanging basket. In the dark and blinding fire, people fell to death and maimed from the city wall every year.

You get what you pay for.

Therefore, Mr. Ding, who is very professional and ethical, is still holding his hands on his hips and leaning on his knife, and he is telling the man who is shaking the windlass: "Slow down, Mr. Ma is a noble person and must not be able to bear the shaking!"

At the moment when Lu Da, the client of the city gate tower, was slowly sinking, three figures suddenly sprinted up the road.

These three people were positioned two in front and one behind. When they rushed over, one of them jumped forward while running and threw himself onto the windlass. Then, the windlass got stuck.

The other one rushed over and gave someone a flying kick, kicking Ding, the only one with weapons in the field, into a rolling gourd. The others had long thrown aside their broken spears in order to serve customers.

The last one was a pig spirit: the monster was dressed in black skin, wearing an iron helmet, with a thick and long black nose on its face, and half of its face was covered.

Before the stunned wastes on the tower could react, the pig spirit ran to the crenel in two steps, leaned out half of his body, held an iron tool in both hands and pointed it at the hanging basket.

The next moment, with a low "bang bang" sound, Lu Da in the hanging basket was immediately beaten into a sieve, and blood began to drip down the hanging basket towards the city.
