After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 251 Ye Wuwei Arrives in South City

Nancheng

When Ye Wuwei arrived in Nancheng, it was the rainy season in Nancheng.

Although Ye Wuwei has a strong ability to adapt, he still feels depressed in such weather.

After leaving Chamdo City, Ye Wuwei parted ways with Yao Guangzhi and his men. Ye Wuwei arranged for Yao Guangzhi to lead 500 soldiers from the Qi'an tribe south ten days later.

Ye Wuwei met up with Lei Dahong who was waiting halfway and came to South City.

Last time, I mentioned to Chen Shusheng about letting Lei Dahong join the Qi'an Department. After returning, Chen Shusheng asked Lei Dahong for his opinion. Seeing that he was going to work with Ye Wuwei, Lei Dahong agreed.

Most of the Qi'an tribe's visible personnel were selected from the Imperial Guards. In order to prevent anyone from knowing that Ye Wuwei had come to Nancheng, Ye Wuwei only brought Lei Dahong, who had rarely appeared in Chamdo.

After entering South City, Ye Wuwei arranged for Lei Dahong to go to the streets to inquire about the news, while he went to "Lin Yi Pavilion" alone.

"Lin Yi Ge" and "Wang's Silk" were both the headquarters of Qi Wushuang's agents in various places. However, "Wang's Silk" was mostly located in the north, while "Lin Yi Ge" was mostly located in the south.

Previously, only Qi Wushuang, Chu Fuchi, Liu Mingshao and a few others knew about the existence of "Lin Yi Pavilion" and "Wang's Silk". After the establishment of Qi'an Department, Chu Fuchi handed over all the intelligence resources to Ye Wuwei.

But even Fang Datong, the deputy commander of the Qi'an tribe, did not know the existence of "Lin Yige" and "Wang's Silk".

As soon as Ye Wuwei stepped into the "Lin Yi Pavilion", a waiter came up to him and asked, "What would you like, sir?"

After breaking up with Yao Guangzhi and the others, Ye Wuwei has never appeared in his original appearance, and it is still the same now.

"Lin Yige" is even more refined and luxurious than the "Wang's Silk" shop in the north that Ye Wuwei had visited. It is engaged in high-end custom clothing business.

Ye Wuwei looked around and saw that apart from a few waiters, he did not see the shopkeeper, so he said:

"I have a big business deal to discuss with your boss. I wonder if he's available?"

The waiter looked Ye Wuyi up and down and asked, "What business would you like to discuss, sir?"

Ye Wuwei poured a large bag of gold onto the counter, "This is just a deposit."

Seeing so much gold, the waiter said, "Sir, please wait a moment."

After a while, the waiter came over with a man in his forties.

This man looked 70% like the portrait in the file. Ye Wuwei guessed that this man should be Ye Dacheng, the owner of Nancheng Linyi Pavilion.

He is also the chief spies in South City.

"Can we talk in the inner room?"

Ye Dacheng looked at Ye Wuwei and said, "Sir, please follow me."

After entering the inner room, Ye Wuwei took out the "King Qi" badge given to him by Qi Wushuang and placed it on the table.

Ye Dacheng picked up the badge and looked at it carefully for a while, then closed all the doors and windows and asked:

"Where are you from, sir?"

"I'm from Wang Silk."

"What's your name, sir?"

"Silk King."

At this point, Ye Dacheng bowed respectfully and asked, "What instructions does the special envoy have?"

Anyone who can hold the Qi Wang badge is not only a close confidant of His Majesty, but also an absolutely heavyweight figure.

No wonder he knew the existence of "Lin Yi Pavilion".

"I want to ask something."

"Please say."

"The intelligence you sent to Qi'an's tribe previously stated that nearly 30,000 people, primarily young and able-bodied laborers, had disappeared in Nancheng Prefecture and several nearby prefectures in recent years. I wonder how you collected this information?"

Seeing that the person in front of him even knew the latest intelligence, Ye Dacheng was even more certain that Ye Wuwei's identity was not simple, but he still didn't dare to guess it was Ye Wuwei.

After all, in Ye Dacheng's understanding, Ye Wuwei, as the third-rank commander of the Qi'an tribe, could not have come to Nancheng alone.

"We first noticed a number of people were missing a year ago.

On that occasion, a major tsunami hit the southern part of Nancheng, and the governor of Nancheng announced that more than 5,000 people had died.

We didn't take it seriously at first, because it wasn't surprising that more than 5,000 people died in a tsunami.

But then we heard that only 2,000 bodies were found out of more than 5,000 people, so we felt something was wrong and investigated.

After checking, we found that people had actually been missing four years ago, but the number of missing people was not as large as that of the tsunami disaster, and each disappearance was related to disasters such as heavy rain, mountain floods, and tornadoes.

Next, we inquired about the surrounding states and found that there were also cases of missing people, and each disappearance was related to disasters such as heavy rain, mountain torrents, and fire.

As for the number of missing persons, we estimate it based on the official death toll and the number of bodies recovered."

"Since you knew so many people were missing long ago, why didn't you report it in time?"

“We only became aware of the missing persons issue a year ago, but we didn’t have any evidence then, and it was only four months ago that we were able to identify missing persons in other states.

Can……"

Ye Dacheng didn't continue, but Ye Wuwei understood.

Four months ago, when Chu Fuchi handed the intelligence personnel to him, Ye Dacheng and the others must have been watching.

Ye Wuwei did not blame Ye Dacheng, but fell into deep thought:

The disappearances of people in Nancheng and Fengdu are definitely related to officials in those two places, but I wonder if the disappearances of people in other states are related to local officials?

The governor of Huishui was a member of the Qi clan. What role did he play in it?

If we encounter danger, is it safe to borrow troops from the Huishui Governor?

Thinking of this, Ye Wuwei said:

"Could you send someone reliable to Huishui? Could you please investigate for me whether the recent disappearances in Huishui are related to the Huishui Governor?

If not, who does it concern?

But this needs to happen quickly, and I must get the results within ten days."

Ye Dacheng knew that this was a good opportunity for him to make a contribution, so he said, "I will go to Huishui in person under the pretext of discussing business."
