Chapter 336： Preparation

A group of people lined up for about half an hour, and finally the people in front of them had successfully entered the city.

Facing the guarding officers and soldiers looking up and down, with unclear meaning, Chang'an took advantage of paying the team's entry fee, and stuffed two small bank notes for the leading grassroots officers.

Grabbing two thin sheets of paper in his hands, the leading grassroots officer winked at his brothers.

Those people received the eye signal from their boss, and they didn't deliberately find fault when they checked it. The goods brought by Ye Anlan and the others successfully avoided the tragic fate of being scratched in their pockets or pushed to the ground.

When everyone in the team marched into the city, Yang Xiaotao whispered to the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the city gates, "After paying the money, they didn't bother to check, and they weren't afraid that we would bring something that shouldn't be brought with us. "

Ye Anlan whispered back, "The decay of a dynasty will always be reflected in all aspects."

As far as she knew, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had not only been in arrears with their military salaries for several years, but even a batch of military supplies were either good or bad, or none at all.

In this case, if those officials do not allow the grassroots soldiers to find their own way of making money, then there will be countless deserters waiting for them.

What they deserve is deducted layer by layer, and even in this "layer" there are empress dowagers who blatantly embezzle military pay to hold birthday banquets, repair palaces, and build pagodas for themselves.

The little emperor on the dragon chair was still at the age of wearing open crotch pants when he ascended the throne. The queen mother who has been listening to politics all these years is the real ruler of this country.

The real power holders of the country are all virtuous, and they work from top to bottom. How many good other officials can there be? Well, can he continue to be an official in such a big dye vat in peace?

Everyone does not follow the rules and puts their hands into the public funds, thus forming a cruel food chain where the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat shrimp.

The bottom of this chain are ordinary people who can only be exploited by lower-level officials.

Now, Ye Anlan and the others are playing the role of an ordinary businessman with no backing.

As ordinary and rich people, who is exploited if they are not exploited?

A group of people were talking, and they rented an inn in a low-key manner surrounded by other people.

This inn is small in size and out of the way, but it is cheap, clean and hygienic.

After Ye Anlan and the others moved in, the shrewd and capable Ye family guards immediately went to the tooth shop to rent a house.

Those who went out with them were other Ye family guards who wandered in the streets together. These people went out in small groups under the banner of watching something new, but in fact they went out to contact the rest of the Ye family guards who were dressed in disguise. into the team.

Before setting off from the northern border, Ye Anlan got the home addresses and tokens of nearly 60 generals of the Dingbei Army from Bai Qingzhi.

These people all live in Gyeonggi, and the situation of their family members may become more difficult.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, of course, Bai Qingzhi couldn't leave the family members of other comrades behind when his own family members might be saved.

Before Ye Anlan and the others set off, he called all the generals whose families were in Gyeonggi, and asked them to write down their addresses and give tokens so that Ye Anlan and the others could look for opportunities to save people.

These people, according to their respective home addresses, Ye Anlan divided their families into three groups that needed to adopt different strategies to rescue.

The first group are those grassroots generals who are not valued by the Great Zhou court. Because these people's official positions are too low, even if their families are in the counties of Gyeonggi, the Great Zhou court will not send people to watch them.

The family members of these people are the best to transfer and have the highest safety factor, so they can be contacted at the end.

More dangerous and troublesome than them are those generals of the Dingbei Army who are qualified to establish a mansion in the capital. Their families are themselves hostages held by the imperial court in the capital. Although the family members of these people are not as eye-catching as Bai Qingzhi's family members, they Around the mansion in the capital, there must be various eyeliners responsible for monitoring them.

The most dangerous and troublesome ones are the family members of Bai Qingzhi, commander of the Dingbei Army.

Ye Anlan didn't need to check, just the Bai Qingzhi family knew the eyeliner, there were no less than 20 in the Bai family.

Those vests are still on their bodies, and I don’t know how many more.

Aiming at these three groups of people, Ye Anlan adopted three completely different countermeasures.

The group with the lowest risk factor, after matching the token, just pick up the person directly.

For the group with a higher degree of danger, first of all, she has to send someone to check which eyeliners are around them.

Only when all the nails are pulled out, their actions will not be stillborn.

As for Bai Qingzhi's family, this family's goal is really big, Ye Anlan dare not let them disappear out of thin air rashly.

In order to buy time for Ye's personal guards who are responsible for escorting these old and weak women and children, Ye Anlan decided to let the Bai family who had left the capital continue to "exist" in the capital for a period of time.

It just so happens that she also needs a suitable identity to make a fuss. Ahem, revenge, resentment, and incidentally, a windfall.

After a rough plan was drawn up, Ye Anlan began to infiltrate the capital step by step.

Because Li Jing, who knew the capital well enough, gave advice from the side, Ye Anlan's infiltration plan was carried out very smoothly.

The Ye family's personal guards under her command, who used to inquire about information as a side job, quickly infiltrated into every corner of the capital like fish in water.

Because their targets this time are all officials and royal families, Ye Anlan mainly concentrated their manpower on restaurants, teahouses, brothels, jewelry shops, clothing shops and other places where the target people frequented in the infiltration work this time.

Of course, she didn't just abandon the traffickers, beggars and hooligans in the market.

Although these people can't get in touch with Ye Anlan's target person, and can't become Ye Anlan's source of news, they can stroll through most of the places in the capital without any sense of disobedience. It's just passing news and disguising best candidate.

While doing business in the skin of a businessman, they spread their hands to the target people quickly and accurately, and kept collecting various information while ensuring their safety.

After being busy like this for about ten days, Ye Anlan caught a chance to enter Weipinghou's mansion and get in touch with Bai Qingzhi's family up close.

Three days ago, she was hired by the shopkeeper to work as a waiter in the biggest jewelry store in Beijing because of her good looks, articulate, and literacy. She was also with her because she was "a little short-sighted, but very skilled." , Zheng Fengshou, who was tricked by the shopkeeper to come in as a guard.

The shopkeeper is very shrewd in business and loyal to the owner. The only shortcoming is that he loves petty gains.

Zheng Fengshou had originally deliberately followed suit, so he pretended to be a fool who didn't understand the market conditions.
