I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1054 Surprise Discovery

This guy originally wanted to make up fake news to fool Li Tian, ​​but he didn't realize that Li Tian actually knew much more than him, so he didn't fall for it at all.

Seeing that Li Tian couldn't be fooled by this rhetoric, the guy rolled his eyes several times, and finally decided to tell Li Tian some reliable news.

"Hey, my lord, forgive me, but the news in my stomach is still valuable. I wanted to shop around and make a small fortune, but I didn't expect that my lord is so insightful. If the villain doesn't If you come up with some real news, I will be too sorry for you, my lord."

After speaking, he secretly took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.

Open it carefully, and then handed what looked like a secret letter to Li Tian.

and solemnly said,
"Young Master, this is what my brother bought with his wealth and life. The villain is alone, and anyone who has a stutter is fine, but that brother still has a family to support. See if you can..."

Li Tian naturally knew what this meant, he just wanted more money.

Li Tian doesn't care about a mere meal of food and drink, which is enough for ordinary people to spend tens of taels of silver a year. What he cares about is whether the guy in front of him has real ingredients in his belly.

Li Tian was not in a hurry to promise him anything, but gently opened the secret letter and glanced at it casually.

But with just these two eyes, Li Tian's expression was slightly shocked, and he was completely attracted by the content of the letter.

Although this letter is called a secret letter, the content inside is not very secret. It can even be said that it seems to be a very ordinary letter.

However, that's only true in the eyes of those who don't know the inside story.

If it is seen by someone who knows something about the state of Nanjing at this time, this letter will become a priceless secret letter.

The content of the letter is actually very simple.

He simply said in an orderly tone, let a certain head of a certain gang lead his subordinates to station in a certain village. During this period, he must not reveal his identity, closely monitor the passing pedestrians, and report immediately if there is any disturbance.

If this letter fell into the hands of an ordinary person in the world, its value would be very limited. After all, judging from the current environment of Nanjing City and its surroundings.

I don't know how many things like this kind of transfer of personnel from a small sect will happen every day.

It's really nothing to be concerned about.

But if someone who has some knowledge of the distribution of garrisons around Nanjing will find out after reading this secret letter.

The small mountain village mentioned in the letter has a very special location, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one man is in charge of everything.

On the other side of the small mountain village is a military camp with thousands of people stationed, and on the other side is a passage leading directly to the city of Nanjing.

This position is occupied by people. If something happens in Nanjing, only one or two hundred people are needed to guard against death. At least these thousands of people can be held back for a day or two.

If the worst scenario is calculated, what really happened in Nanjing City, the army of thousands of people is completely useless, and they can't use any strength.

Originally, officers and soldiers were stationed at such an important pass all year round, just to prevent such a situation from happening.

But as these years, the corruption of Nanjing's officialdom has become more and more serious. In order to cut expenses, the officers and soldiers who were originally stationed here have long been abolished.

However, the houses that were originally left by the garrison when they were stationed have now become a temporary place for a group of homeless people to settle down.

Originally, Li Tian didn't know much about these situations, but during the time on the ship, he was bored, and through various means, he got a lot of garrison maps around Nanjing to watch.

Had an eye on this place.

This is the only way to see the hidden information in this secret letter at first glance.

But he knew something about the garrisons around Nanjing, and it made sense, but why did this sloppy guy in front of him know, which made Li Tian very curious.

He hid the shock in his heart and said to the guy pretending that he didn't see anything,

"This thing seems to be nothing special!"

That guy was full of confidence at first, but when he heard Li Tian's words, he became anxious immediately.

Quickly received the secret letter, pointed to the name of the village in it and said to Li Tian,

"My lord, can't you see that this group of people occupied this place, obviously targeting the officers and soldiers stationed not far away.

Those of us who have traveled the rivers and lakes all year round have a basic common sense. Unless it is absolutely necessary and when our lives are at stake, we will never take the initiative to provoke officers, soldiers and court personnel.

But these people, knowing that there are thousands of officers and soldiers of the imperial court stationed there, still want to go to this place, and there are hundreds of people when they go.

If it is still necessary to say that they have evil intentions, the villain can't think of what they are doing. "

Li Tian shook his head and smiled lightly,
"Maybe they just found a place to stay temporarily because they had nowhere to go!"

The man smiled wryly and said,

"If that's all, then why did they kill all the people who knew the contents of this letter? Poor my brother, who is quite skilled, but he was still besieged by a group of them and died a miserable death The ending on the spot."

At this time, Li Tian finally understood.

It turned out that it was not the guy in front of him who really saw that the secret letter was not simple, but the dead brother he said.

This thing is very valuable, and it is probably what the man told him before he died.

It's just that this guy doesn't know many people. This thing was placed in his hands before, but it hasn't shown any value.

If it wasn't because Li Tian treated him to a big meal, he probably wouldn't have taken this thing out as a thank you gift.

To be honest, this letter is of no use to the vast majority of people in the world.

That is to say, only when meeting someone like Li Tian who knows about the defenses around Nanjing can he see the value of this letter.

I don't know how many people this guy in front of me has shown this letter before Li Tian. Judging from the current state of distress of this family, he has never succeeded once.

Although this thing is very valuable, let Li Tian know a little bit about the initial plan of Monk Pu Xian and others, and it is very worthwhile for Li Tian to spend dozens of taels of silver to buy such an information.

However, Li Tian didn't plan to just give the money so simply.

So Li Tian said to that guy,
"The letter is of some value to me, but it's worth my son's purchase of dozens of taels of silver.

How about this, if you can get one or two more letters with the same content as this one, I will accept each letter at the price of ten taels of silver. How much do you have, and how much I want. "
