.”
Silence is not a person who is overestimating his ability. He knows what he is good at and what he is not good at, but he is not good at many things, such as leading troops to fight wars, defending the city and defending the enemy, which is something he cannot do.
But he still took on the important task of defending the city because he knew very well that the civil servants and generals in Xuanfu City would live and die with the city. They had experienced wars all year round and had a very tacit understanding of each other. There was no need for anyone to point fingers at them. What they needed was a shameful person who could take responsibility. To put it nicely, it was a nominal leader.
Silently knowing about war, without having to point fingers on his own, the officers and soldiers of Xuanfu can do a good job in a city that can be mobilized to reach 80,000. In addition, Xuanfu City is high and deep, and it is sufficient for food and fodder. He really can't see how the Mongols have a mere 20,000 cavalry. In this cold winter when water turns into ice, what is the chance of attacking Xuanfu?
Throughout the century of history, the Mongols were hit by blood under this city. The corpses left were even equivalent to those killed in other places. In recent decades, when the words "Xuanfu City" were heard, the Mongols looked sad and could not raise the courage to attack. They even walked around every time they robbed.
However, this time, they made a big move without a doubt. If it weren't for the water in their brains, it would have been a different plan. Combined with the results from Nian Yongkang, it was obvious that the possibility was much greater.
What Chen Si is best at is all kinds of conspiracies and plots, and of course he is good at dealing with the other party's various schemes, so he wisely focused his work on dealing with possible enemy plots, and handing over all wars such as city defense and supplies to Xie Yu and Chen Futai to fully be responsible for Xuanfu City, which is their home, and everything they have to do. Chen Si is not afraid of them being passive and lazy.
If the right people do the right things, things will be much simpler. There are many people who understand this principle, but those who are in high positions are often a small group...
Silently summoned the civil and military officials of Xuanfu City and announced to them that they would be responsible for the battle to defend the city. They issued two orders. First, they sent all cavalry to warn the people outside the city, and ordered them to hide quickly and live in such a prosperous environment for generations, and they knew how to do it without teaching. Second, they were asked Xie Yu and Chen Futai and Chen Rui to be responsible for military and logistics respectively, and they would negotiate with each other if they had any problems. After they could not negotiate, they would come to find themselves. Then they would let them do what they should do.
The officials in Xuanfucheng were also relieved. Being able to take responsibility without slapping hands is simply the dream of the people below. How could there be any dissatisfaction?
So everyone performed their own duties, and Xuanfu City was like a war machine that was not precise but was unimpeded. It began to prepare to face the enemy in an orderly manner. He was a fraud and knew that fortresses were the easiest to break from the inside, especially when they were not broken from the outside, and it became almost the only choice. Of course, because of the differences in races, it was really difficult for the Mongols to make trouble in the city, so they depended on their Bansheng White Lotus Sect and became the best executor.
After the bold guess, the following is to verify it carefully. Chen Si once again came to the secret base of the Xuan Daqian Manufacturing Institute of Jinyiwei to listen to Nian Yongkang's interrogation results.
"Sir, those demons from the White Lotus Sect have already been called. They are here to deliver the message." Nian Yongkang reported: "These guys are fascinated by the cult. If they were not for torture day and night, it would be difficult to pry open their mouths."
"Oh, did you send me some letter?" asked silently.
"No letters." Nian Yongkang said: "They were going to write a string of symbols in a few places in the city." He said, and handed a piece of paper to Shimo and said: "I asked them to write down the truth, and everyone is not bad at all, so there should be no problem."
After taking the paper silently, I saw five patterns on it. The first two are two moons, the third one is a sun, the fourth one is a dog, and the fifth one is a personal face, with a wide open mouth, all of which are the simplest patterns. If I saw it on the street wall, I would only think it was a child’s nonsense graffiti, who would have thought it was an amazing code?
"What does this mean?" Chen Silent frowned and said, "What do those people say?"
"They don't know either." Nian Yongkang said: "It is said that this is the "White Lotus Secret Word" founded by Xiao Qin, only his close disciples and secretly lurking people. Those who run errands and pass on the orders are only living in the mountains. They don't know the meaning."
"White Lotus Secret Words?" Silently groped his chin and said, "What do you think of this thing?"
"I can't see it." Nian Yongkang scratched his head and said, "What are the moon, the sun, the dog, the human being, except for the people who set it up, only ghosts know."
Chen Shu sighed and said, "It would be great if that Yan Hao was not dead, and he could ask them out of the question." Unfortunately, in order to make Chen Lian's case die without evidence, Yang Shun had already killed people and poisoned Yan Hao and Yang Yinpeng to death in prison.
The two of them thought about the paper for a long time, and Chen Si suddenly asked, "Is the first time those people in the prison passed the order?"
No." Nian Yongkang said: "They are just doing this and they have been running errands to the White Lotus Sect for many years."
"It's all this kind of thing?" Chen Jing said that Xiao Qin was so powerful. He could speak independently.
This wasn't asked Nian Yong Chen Shi: "I'll go and ask now."
"Go together" Chen Si stood up and smiled, "I'm suddenly interested in them." When he arrived in the torture room, Chen Si realized that the so-called "totors day and night" did not mean to use torture day and night to continuously, but to make a wooden cage with nails on all sides, with nails pointed inward and penetrated the wooden strips. Those White Lotus scholars were locked up in the middle and must keep their posture at the moment, like puppets, and they can't doze off, because their body moved slightly, and the tip of the nail pierced into the flesh, which was unbearable. Just looking at it, I felt creepy.
When he saw Nian Yongkang and a young senior official coming in, several White Lotus Cultists in the cage begged: "Let us go, I really can't stand it."
"They have been locked in there for two days." Nian Yongkang reported in a low voice: "Everything is overwhelmed, and you will say whatever you ask." Chen Ji probably was inside and couldn't hold on for a long time. He curled his lips and expressed his surprise.
Then he heard Nian Yongkang say to the White Lotus scholars in a deep voice: "My adult comes to ask, your opportunity is here. If anyone's answer is good and accurate, he can be transferred to an ordinary cell. After the proof is indeed useful, he will receive a special amnesty from the adult."
The four White Lotus Sect immediately focused their eyes on Chen Si, and nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, not only is it a special amnesty, but I will also arrange for him to go to Jiangnan to give him a brand new identity and let him start again in the sky on earth."
In this era when "it is better to be a Yangtze River dog than a Yellow River people, the promise of silence is undoubtedly irresistible to anyone, let alone these White Lotus scholars who have already apostate.
Nian Yongkang brought a chair and asked Chen Si to sit down. Chen Si asked him to come up with a blackboard, wrote down A, B, C and D, and said to the four people: "You guys are from left to right, A, B, C and D in order, remember your codename." Then he pointed to the blackboard and said: "I started to ask again, first, a must-answer, and then a quick answer. Whoever answered it would add one point. Those who added the words could also add points. But those who dared to fool me, said, and said, "Wipe off your codename and lock them in the cage until they die!"
A, B, C and D quickly promised that they would answer happily.
"Please listen to the question." said silently: "The first question is, how long have you been in the church?"
The four people answered one by one, ranging from five to seven years.
Seeing the silence, Nian Yongkang nodded. Under each person's code name, he drew a stroke.
"How many years have you been working on this messenger?" asked again.
The four people answered one after another, and within one to three years, they got another vertical line.... Silent asked three simple questions and gave them a "全," word. In fact, it means that no one has added points, but the four people were very encouraged after reading it, as if they could continue to work hard and defeat their opponents.
"There is a quick-response session." He said silently: "This is a key opportunity to widen the gap. You must seize it!" The four of them held their breath and focused, none of them spoke, for fear that a word would be missed.
"Who do you know what the White Lotus Secret Word is going on?" said silently.
The four people were silent for a while, and then No. B said first: "It's King Xiao Tian"...oh no. A secret code created by Xiao Qin is used to convey some secret signals."
"Does there be many pills in this way?" Chen Mo asked again.
Still, it is said that "it is rarely used, it is only used when it is most important."
"Very good." Chen Si nodded in approval and said, "Give him two points!"
The man grinned, but the three people around him were sucking, so he made up his mind that he would never hesitate next time, and he would definitely say whatever he wanted.
"Have you ever passed on similar code words before?" asked Silently.
The four people said, "Transferred!" One more point!
"How many times?" The silent eyes gradually became solemn, and the most were given five times, and the least was the second time.
Silence slowly said: "Write a piece of code that was originally passed on and you will get one point."
Immediately, four jailmen stepped forward and asked them to write with paper and pen. The four of them used their strength to think about it, then carefully stretched out their hands from the holes in handing over the meal, and began to draw them crookedly. They did it once, so remember to write it down without any effort.
After taking the paper transferred by Yongkang during the New Year, he saw in silence that there were four patterns on it, namely "human feet, horses, cranes and doves, and sparrows. He was still confused. He asked Na Ding, "When was this happening? What is the background?"
"That was the last two days." Ding Hao whispered: "I went to Bao'anzhou to pass the order."
"The exact day." said silently.
“On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
"The thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month?" Chen Mo said, "I know why it's for it! From that afternoon, a large number of suspicious people rushed to Xuanfu from the neighboring prefectures and counties, many of them were suspicious of cults." He said with a hint of embarrassment: "I didn't inform the government because of Mr. Chen, but I was always paying attention to them on the 16th day of the 16th day of the year. These people appeared on the crossroads and kept inciting the people to attack the court. If it weren't for the sophomore two years old, I would probably have caused a disaster." At this time, the other one was finished writing. Chen Mo took it over and saw that there was the same code word on it. He asked and learned that the man went to Huailai County to pass the orders on the 13th lunar month of the 19th lunar month; when the remaining two were written, there was also this code word on the paper, but the location was different, but they were all nearby prefectures and counties.
"It seems" Nian Yongkang said softly: "This is a convening order to gather believers from all over the country to come to Xuanfu for trouble.
"Yeah, nodded silently in agreement. He said, "If you want to clearly express an order, in the most simple case, you must also have three elements: time, place, and action." He said, pointing to the four patterns and said, "So I dare to say that each pattern corresponds to not a single word, but a few words.
Nian Yongkang nodded and said, "This will not be too complicated. At most one or two hundred patterns can express his meaning clearly. Of course, the premise is that the other party knows the meaning of all the secrets."
"Black words!" Chen Si said in a deep voice: "This is a symbolic bandit slander." The slang in the world, also known as incisions, also called spring dots and lip dots. Many gangs and businesses have a complex incision system, and Chen Si will say most of the incisions of the Cao Gang.
Let the silence deconstruct. In Nian Yongkang's heart, Xiao Tianwang, who was very mysterious in his heart, immediately became a gangster and couldn't help but smile and said, "That's true." So the two looked at the pieces of paper carefully, and after deducting the duplication, there were six code words in total. Through the inquiry, they learned that these commands were distributed in the past three years, and each had at most six or seven patterns, which were different.
Looking at these various small patterns, Nian Yongkang was dazzled and said worriedly: "How can you guess this?" If you can easily see it, it would be no slander.
Silent but focused on interrogating the four people, asking them to answer the background of each code word. Especially time, which day must be accurate!
"This is the last question!" Silently said to the four people: "Answer one plus two points." The laggards suddenly raised all their energy, and the leader became nervous, fearing that they would be taken to the opportunity to rebel.
Otherwise, good competition can create miracles. After a quarter of an hour, the four people actually recalled all six times!
Silently shook the paper that remembered time and handed it to Nian Yongkang, "Check the information immediately and see what happened in these times and in the next few days!"
"Yes!" Nian Yongkang responded and hurried to do it.
I was silent and knew that I would stay again. Apart from sucking a stomach of turbid air, it would be useless, so I would leave.
"Sir, who did we win?" Number A and Number C asked in unison.
I looked at the blackboard silently. Both of them had two straight characters, one horizontal line, more than the other two. Then I said to the prison guard: "Turn them both." The two were so excited that they forgot where they were, and they danced and ended up being thrust into blood."
Several families were happy and some were sad, while the other two were as sad as a test, and she was shaking, but she heard silently: "The remaining two of them are willing to help me with something, and they can come out. If you don't want to, stay here." The two of them suddenly became energetic and shouted: "I am willing to do anything."
Nian Yongkang was as careful as he classified the files very carefully. In less than half an hour, he found out what he wanted.
After silent, he first read the general approximations of the six events. In addition to killing officials, he was also fleeing the entire village, which was all famous works by Xiao Qin. He no longer had any questions about the connection between these events and code words. After verifying this, he no longer cared about the events themselves, and just copied the six times "not copying the year, but only copied the month and date.
Using these six today dates and the six code words patterns, it is still difficult to understand. Think about it, he also cut the month away, leaving only the date. Because he felt that the symbols of each code word were limited, if he wanted to express the month and day, there would be too few symbols that could be used to convey the main information. Moreover, there is a maximum interval between the orders of the White Lotus Sect and the execution of the action. There may be no need to emphasize the month."
So there are only six numbers left.
Silence covered the second half of the six code words again. Only the first two symbols of each were left, and finally his eyes lit up and he said with a relaxed sigh: "It's probably what's going on!"
Nian Yongkang, who had been waiting quietly behind him, then asked, "Sir, have you understood all these symbols?"
"I don't have that ability." I took a sip of tea silently and smiled proudly: "I just understand a little."
"Ah?" Nian Yongkang said strangely: "But I see that the adults are already full of confidence."
"Yeah." Silently smiled, "Because there is no need to understand everything, just understand it a little." As he said that, he put down the teacup, made a look of riding on the stage, and said in a long voice: "Look at the black hole in front, it must be the thief's nest. When I rushed forward, I killed him cleanly."
