With the light, the old man stretched out his thin, thin hand covered with age spots and took the letter and silver notes handed over by Ye Qing. He just took a simple and rough look, then put it in his arms, turned around without making a sound and walked inside.

"Take the door up and drive away the carriage at the door." The old man's hoarse voice sounded in the rustling drizzle.

"The head..." Pop Li San was shocked. They were the only ones here tonight. If he drove away the carriage, wouldn't it be left to Ye Qing to follow the old man into the room? If something unexpected happened...

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong, wait for me at the entrance of the alley." Ye Qing patted Pi Li San's shoulder, then held a lantern in one hand and closed the wooden door with the other. After listening to the sound of Pi Li San's car leaving, he turned around and walked towards the old man waiting at the door.

The furnishings in the room are extremely simple. After a bed, a wardrobe, a table in front of the window, and a set of tea sets on it, there is nothing else.

"Imperial City Department? Or the palace?" the old man asked, sitting down at the head of the bed, then pointed to the only chair in front of the table and signaled Ye Qing to sit down.

Looking at the greasy appearance on the chair over time, Ye Qing didn't dislike it at all. He gently pulled the chair over to the old man and saluted: "Ye Qing, deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, have seen the old man."

"Imperial City? I haven't heard this name for a long time, it's like a thing in my previous life. But now it still sounds a little kind." The old man took out the letter and silver notes in his arms, and this time he watched it carefully, using the oil lamp in the room and the lantern in Ye Qing's hand.

Ye Qing didn't say anything, and quietly looked at the old man with silver hair, as if he was carefully thinking about every word of the letter, or wanted to recite the letter with his memory that he could not be old anymore.

"Is this thousand taels of silver bill yours?" the old man slowly put down the letter, picked up the silver bill and asked.

"I dare not, it was the noble man from Wang Lunzhong in the palace who asked me to bring it to you." Ye Qing said, looking at the turbid eyes.

"No matter who you and Wang Lun are from, I thank you." After the old man finished speaking, he reached out and took out a thick stack of paper from under the pillow, and slowly handed it to Ye Qing and said, "This is what Wang Lun wants, please put it away by himself."

"Thank you, Mr. I haven't asked you about your name Gao." Ye Qing had been guessing who the old man in front of him as soon as he entered the door, but judging from the information Wang Lun gave him, he would not guess even if he had guessed it.

"The name of Gao?" The old man was stunned, and then smiled disdainfully, saying, "Now this Imperial City Department is no longer the Imperial City Department of the past. When did the Imperial City Department be as high-profile as you? At that time, the Imperial City Department of the Imperial City Department of the time were even more mysterious than the Imperial Palace. Whether it was the people or officials in the court, they might find out which concubine the emperor favored last night, but they couldn't find out who the Imperial City Department commanded it."

"I keep what the sir said in mind. In the future, I will follow the traditions of that year and restore the mystery and cruelty of the Imperial City Department to the past." Ye Qing's easy-going smile did not disappear, and he nodded at the old man and said.

"But it is because the Imperial City Department is becoming more and more mysterious, so mysterious that in the eyes of the Imperial City Department, there is only a mysterious commander, but no royal family or saint, so the Imperial City Department gradually surfaced and gradually suffocated to death, so there is the so-called Imperial City Department. So... No one knows how the Imperial City Department should exist. It's just that, young and promising young people should not be as lonely as me when they get old." A bright light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he looked at Ye Qing and said as if he was a warning.

"Thank you, Mr., for your reminder. I hope one day I will not be like the old man." Ye Qing looked at the room with his bare walls, his expression and attitude did not change at all.

"Once the emperor and the ministers, I can only remind you of these. However, if you can hide nearly a thousand banned soldiers in Yangzhou without being discovered by others, it means that the current Imperial City Department is still worthy of the trust of the Supreme Emperor, or you are quite trusted by the Supreme Emperor."

"The old man has been awarded too much. If he had real skills, he would not have been discovered by the teacher. He has concealed it from the Yangzhou officialdom, hasn't he been concealed from the old man, you are not?"

"That's because I am more familiar with the every move of the Imperial City Department than you, and know more about how the Imperial City Department has installed in Yangzhou, Jiankang and other various government offices. "The old man smiled proudly, and then continued, "You are in their list, and it will be the kid Wang Lun from now on. I introduced him to the palace back then, and now he will take charge of these people, which is also fulfilling my wish."

"I thanked the old man for the first time for the noble man in China." Ye Qing saw that the old man had never answered his name, so he stopped asking.

However, what the old man said was that the spies from the Imperial City Division had hidden in various places, and Ye Qing was not surprised at all.

After all, from the time he went north to Sizhou, passed Yangzhou, and then to the time he met with Yu Yunwen in Yangzhou, we can see that Zhao Gou was either stupid and simple in dealing with the Yangzhou officialdom issue or was extremely cunning and profound.

Now it seems that Zhao Gou has already begun to plan Huainan East Road, and he is just a chess piece of his, a half-hidden chess piece.

Yu Yunwen was like a chess piece, and he was half hidden. The old man in front of him was obviously the secret chess piece. Zhao Gou was commanding the three like an arm and finger to plan the balance of Huainan East Road for him.

Otherwise, it would be okay to just send himself, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department who had just taken office, to help him solve the problem of Zhao Gou's family in the Zhao Song Dynasty in Sizhou. If he wanted to do an errand in the officialdom, he would seem a little weak. Even if he was alone Yu Yunwen and the others came to do the job, he would still be a little weak.

But if it were the old Royal City Spy who had been placed in various capitals by Zhao Gou for many years, it would be a different matter.

So Ye Qing quietly waited for the old man to continue talking, or gave him some things about the Yangzhou officialdom. After all, Wang Lun asked him to find this old man, and the old man boasted about himself and the old Imperial City. So should I take out some real things now?

He smiled without saying a word and said to the old man with a messy white hair in front of him, and looked at each other for a long time, and finally the old man couldn't laugh anymore. He raised his hand like a dead branch and gave Ye Qing a thumbs up: "Boy, I can't tell that he has a high understanding. It seems that the Imperial City Department regained his majesty back then, and it's not just a simple word for you boy."

After the old man finished speaking, he took out a thick stack of paper from under his pillow that looked like a treasure pot and handed it to Ye Qing again: "This is evidence of the greed of ink since the Jin emperor Wanyan Liang retreated, and the governors of Yangzhou and the comforting envoys. Speaking of which, it is also the ambition of Zhao Shi's ambition and ruthlessness. A person's greed for ink is more than his predecessors combined."

"Thank you, Mr. I didn't bring any wine, otherwise I would definitely invite you to drink a few drinks." Ye Qing looked at the old man... No, he should be said to be an old eunuch. After all, the old man said just now that Wang Lun was brought into the palace by him. So obviously, this old man was also a eunuch back then, in charge of the Imperial City Department, or the eunuch who assisted in the Imperial City Department.

"Boy, since you can guess that the Yangzhou officialdom is not enough, you and Yu Yunwen, then you should know that even if you have these sufficient evidence, you can't say that you are sure to win, right?" The old man directly ignored Ye Qing's polite words.

"That's natural, so please give me some advice." Ye Qing stood up from the chair and bowed.

If it was expected that even if he returned to Lin'an and took the position of commander of the Imperial City Division, Wang Lun would be equivalent to this old eunuch, and he would still be in charge of the list of spies from various government offices.

And what I can inherit is still the family background of the Imperial City Si Ming!

But it doesn't matter. It's an intelligence network. It's not difficult, but difficult. It's not impossible to say that in three to five years, I will become the largest intelligence network leader in the entire Song Dynasty, even Dali, Xixia, Jin, Mongolia, and even the Western Liao, and the entire Great China territory.

"Be careful of Zhao Shixiong. This person is cruel. Although he has never colluded with the Jin people in person, Shen Fa from Sizhou and Jin people have close contacts, including some merchants who traveled to Sizhou and Lin'an, who are actually serving them, and even serving for the Jin people. However, these are not my responsibilities, but the responsibilities of you, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department. I won't say much. But... Zhao Shixiong has a daughter, so you should be careful. Compared to Zhao Shixiong, his daughter kills people without blinking. She is even more ruthless than his son, but she is still a beauty. It depends on whether you can pass the beauty's hindrance at that time." The old man's turbid eyes were full of warning, and he could not even notice the meaning of joking.

"You must be careful, and Yu Yunwen should be careful. I am just a fight. Zhao Shixiong's attention should be on Yu Yunwen or the person who wants to replace him." Ye Qing shrugged and said relaxedly.

"Oh, so... in the officialdom, there are still people who want to replace him? Has anyone started to compete for the position of the prefect and the comforting envoy?" A look of shock flashed in the old man's eyes.

But this flash of shock made Ye Qing confused. Since the old man was also an Imperial City Office and an official in the Supervision Bureau, did he not even understand these things?

It didn't look like the look on the face of the old man who deliberately confused him, Ye Qing was a little confused about what the so-called spies placed in the Imperial City Department back then, and don't they understand the matters above the officialdom?

"Does the old man know if Li Xizhi of the Maritime Bureau?" Ye Qing put two stacks of documents in his hand on the table. He did not mean to leave after getting the things, but started chatting with the old man.

The old man also did not expect that the young man in front of him would have the patience to talk to an old eunuch who was completely useless. This made the old eunuch feel a sense of respect in his heart, and also a little more inexplicably moved.
