Rebirth of a Female General

Chapter 156
The government has also settled the case and died accidentally.

Xu Siqian is a widow. One person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, so he has no self-motivation. He just works as a cleaner in the government office, just to fill his stomach.

With Xu Siqian's status, he had no access to the border inspection route.

So Xu Siqian was not on the list Yan Qing got, and he didn't notice this person when he first checked.

During the second screening, if it wasn't for one of the informants, I accidentally heard that before Xu Siqian died, he had invited a few small officials who had a good relationship with him to drink in the biggest tavern in the city. After coming up, I'm afraid I still can't notice this fringe figure.

And Xu Siqian's method of getting in touch with the border inspection route was also simple. Taking advantage of his job as a sweeper, he slipped into the Zongzheng room where the files were kept.

Confidential places like Zongzhengfang are usually cleaned and tidied up by a special person. Xu Siqian, a marginal figure hired outside, should not have access to these confidential places at all.

However, something happened to the person who cleaned the Zongzheng's house that day, and he was anxious to go back, but he had to deduct money when he returned home during work, and he was reluctant, so Xu Siqian just came up with him and said he would help him.

The man thought that Xu Siqian was illiterate and couldn't understand those things, and he was only going back for a quarter of an hour at most, so nothing happened, so he agreed.

Afterwards, fearing that money would be deducted and held accountable, and that Xu Siqian was also dead, that person didn't dare to speak out about it.

The people in Anbu checked Xu Siqian's background, and he was indeed illiterate, but before he became a petty official, because of his quick legs, he used to be a scout when he was serving in the garrison.

In non-wartime, even on the border, there will not be too many standing troops.

But it can't be done without manpower, so there is a saying of serving in the garrison.

All middle school boys, when they reach a certain age, have to go to the border to serve for one to two months, and they can go home after the service period is over.

Those who don't want to serve, and those who are too far away to keep up, can pay to be exempted from service, which is often called paying taxes.

These serving militiamen will undergo basic training after arriving at the border, and then be responsible for some less important patrols and some chores in the army.

Xu Siqian was considered to have an outstanding ability, so he was spotted by the military instructor, and he was retained as a scout.

It's just that Xu Siqian didn't work as a scout for long before he injured his leg and had to retire. In the end, he worked as a small official in the government office and barely survived.

Scouts may not be able to read and write, but they will definitely learn how to draw terrain and military information.

Therefore, it is true that Xu Siqian does not know a few big characters, but it does not affect his ability to read and draw pictures, especially topographic maps.

Coupled with the fact that Xu Siqian, who had always been struggling, suddenly got a windfall that could go to the biggest tavern in the city, it was almost obvious that there was something wrong with this person.

But when Anbu wanted to continue to follow Xu Siqian's line, the line was broken.

The person who contacted Xu Siqian in a single line, after giving Xu Siqian a sum of money, was found dead in his room the next day.

The cause of death was that while sleeping at night, a brazier was lit in the house, and the windows that were left open for ventilation were blown tightly by the wind, resulting in charcoal fire poisoning.

This is a very common situation during winter and spring in the Northland.

It also didn't arouse anyone's suspicion.

After meeting Xu Siqian, this person never contacted anyone again until his death.

At least, no one saw him contact anyone else.

"Master, the other party is likely to be a dead man."

After Yan Qi informed all the situation, she came to a conclusion.

The cultivation of a dark guard requires a lot of financial and material resources, and it needs to be cultivated from an early age in order to have the ability to appear and disappear.

However, Anbu is responsible for the intelligence downline, but not everyone has such skills.

Even the informants at the end are likely to be people from the Jianghu, all kinds of people.

This leads to a lot of information that needs to go through multiple rounds of screening before getting the final and more accurate information.

It is almost impossible to cultivate an intelligence organization that completely prohibits orders and is like an army.

But if it is just to achieve a certain purpose, the temporary chess pieces are discarded after use, but Anbu does not need such a large investment.

All it takes is a dead man, fooling a fool, and switching hands a few times. After the goal is achieved, everyone will be wiped out without leaving any traces.

What Yan Qing is facing right now is such a situation where it is completely impossible to touch the person behind.

In other words, from the beginning to the end, this person used this kind of play.

With a few dead soldiers, he exchanged the key pieces that prevented him from winning, and obtained the greatest benefits quietly with the smallest sacrifice.

Use a hammer to the east and a hammer to the west to confuse the opponent, just for the ultimate winning blow!
If the opponent uses a slayer, then if you want to follow the lines that have already been shot to catch the person behind it, you will only be fooled by the opponent.

Yan Qing looked at the sand table that simulated the terrain of the Northland, twirled the small flag in his hand, and planted it on the mountain where Yan Zhongqi met in his previous life. Qing Leng Leng said: "Let people guard the place where they enter the mountain, and watch Everyone who enters the mountain, especially those who enter the mountain at the end of March. If necessary, they can be killed."

Yan Qi was taken aback, and confirmed again: "Regardless of identity?"

"Regardless of status."

Yan Qing met Shang Yan Qi's astonished eyes in a blink of an eye, and his black eyes were as deep as water, "If the other party is a dead man, if he is hunted down, he will definitely kill him. If you hesitate for a moment, you are killing yourself."

Yan Qi opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Regardless of the identity of the killer, it means that innocent people may be killed by mistake.

This is not like an order that Yan Qing would give, but it is the best decision if you consider it on your own side.

If they cared about the possibility of killing innocent people by mistake and were soft-handed, they would almost surely die when they met the hidden dead man.

Closing his eyes, Yan Qi didn't ask any questions, but replied in a low voice: "Yes." Then he disappeared into the tent.

Seeing Yan Qi leave, Yan Qing's eyes fell on the evidence he had left over the past few days, and he said in a deep voice to the door: "Hong Zhuang, find General Yan Zhongqi and tell him that I have something to discuss with him, please come here one trip."

Hong Zhuang responded and left.

Not long after, Yan Zhongqi arrived at Yan Qing's tent, with Xu Mengcheng behind him.

As soon as Yan Zhongqi entered the tent, he saw the sand table in the middle of the tent, and Yan Qing, who was standing in front of the sand table with gloomy eyes, immediately frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yan Qing didn't answer, but his eyes fell on Xu Mengcheng who was behind him.

During this period of getting along, Xu Mengcheng often followed Yan Qing for advice on marksmanship, and Yan Qing was very patient.

Although he always has a pale face, compared to their generals, he can already be said to be very gentle.

This was the first time Xu Mengcheng looked at Shang Yanqing with such a cold look, which made him stop immediately as he was walking into the tent.
