Chapter 41: Searching for the Yin-Yang Family
As long as I keep a straight face, no one can guess what I'm thinking!
Jin Yao was well versed in the Mobian school's style, and looked at the Six-Fingered Black Knight coldly with an indifferent expression.
"Ahem~ Just a joke!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight felt a little chilly when he was looked at. They were very clear about the specific situation and just wanted to tease the boy. Who knew that the boy was so cold.
"Is it funny?" Jin Yao asked coldly.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight felt even more embarrassed and turned to look at the sky. It was indeed not good.
"Have you found any trace of Xinghun and others from the Yin-Yang family?" Jin Yao asked.
"We roughly know the scope, but since it is the capital of Zhao State, it is not convenient for the Mohists to conduct a large-scale search!" replied the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
"Let the commanders and disciples get ready and take action tonight!" Jin Yao said, then turned and left the Mohist stronghold.
"What does he mean?" The six-fingered black hero looked at the various commanders beside him blankly, and then said, "Who is the great master of the Mohist school?"
The commanders all held back their laughter. You didn't say anything when the person was here, so what's the point of saying anything now that he's gone?
"Does he have a way to find the Yin-Yang School?" Yang Lou asked doubtfully. As the great commander of the Mohist State of Zhao, he couldn't even search the capital for the Yin-Yang School. How could Jin Yao find it when he just arrived in Zhao State?
"Let's wait and see. This new Lord of Mobian should be able to give us a surprise!" said the Six-Fingered Black Knight after pondering for a moment.
Jin Yao left the Mohist stronghold and headed straight for the General's Mansion.
"Mo Jia, the Prime Minister of Zhao State, Jin Yao requests to see General Lian Po!" Outside the general's mansion, Jin Yao handed the Prime Minister's order given to him by Zhao State to the doorman.
The gatehouse guards took a look at the Shangqing token. They had seen this token many times before and knew at a glance whether it was real or fake. After all, Shangqing Lin Xiangru often visited the mansion in the past. So they did not take the token, but directly opened the door and invited Jin Yao in.
"Please in, Sir!" The doorman sent someone to invite Jin Yao into the mansion, and then ordered someone to notify Lian Po.
Lian Po was also surprised that Jin Yao came to see him on the first day, and decisively asked someone to invite Jin Yao into the study.
"I came to see the general to ask for a favor!" Jin Yao said directly without waiting for Lian Po to speak.
Lian Po frowned and asked in confusion, "Did you get into trouble?"
In Lian Po's opinion, Jin Yao, who had just arrived in Zhao capital and was appointed as Shangqing, could not possibly ask him for anything, unless he had gotten into trouble and wanted protection.
"That's something that will happen in a few days!" Jin Yao shook his head.
"..." Lian Po was silent. You are so confident that you are so sure that you will get into trouble in a few days!
"Tell me, what's the matter!" Lian Po asked.
"Please borrow the General's Capital Guard to help me find someone!" Jin Yao said.
To find out the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang family, who better than the capital guards who are in charge of the defense and safety of the entire Handan? As the capital of Zhao, Lian Po and King Xiaocheng of Zhao could find out what shit the owner of a house had on any given day as long as they wanted.
"Who are you looking for?" Lian Po asked in surprise and confusion.
"Yin-Yang School!" Jin Yao did not hide it.
Lian Po's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he thought about the actions of the Mohist School in the past two days, then he changed his posture, sat up straight and asked, "Is Tongfang so important to your Mohist School? Or are you deliberately using this as an excuse to avenge your teacher?"
Lian Po may not care about the Mohists attacking the Yin-Yang School, but he also needs to know the situation.
"Both!" Jin Yao replied.
"Okay!" Lian Po nodded, then shouted, "Diao Xun, come in!"
The guard standing outside the study door pushed the door open, glanced at Jin Yao, and then saluted Lian Po.
"On behalf of this general, you will take Shangqing to meet the commander of the city guards, Zhao Lan, and ask Zhao Lan to assist Shangqing!" Lian Po gave the order directly.
King Xiaocheng of Zhao was already on guard against the officers coming from Dai County, so although the city guards were under the command of Lian Po, they were also managed by members .
Therefore, Lian Po did not order Zhao Lan to obey, but asked his personal guards to ask Zhao Lan for help in his own name.
As for Lian Po's face, since he is his superior and it does not threaten the safety of King Zhao, Zhao Lan will definitely give him this face.
"Thank you, General!" Jin Yao bowed to express his gratitude, then followed the guard Diao Xun straight to the city guard station.
Zhao Lan looked at Jin Yao, then at Diao Xun, and then readily called the Municipal Supervisor.
"No need to mobilize the city guards?" Diao Xun asked with a frown.
"When it comes to news about Handan, no one can escape the eyes and ears of the city supervisor!" Zhao Lan explained, fearing that Diao Xun would go back and tell Lian Po that he did not take it seriously, which would not be a good thing for him.
"The Market Supervisor is in charge of the market transactions in the capital. They are very clear about any new faces." Zhao Lan saw that Jin Yao and Diao Xun were puzzled, so he explained again.
Jin Yao understood. The so-called market supervisor was not a high-ranking official, equivalent to the urban management in later generations, but he was in charge of the transactions and caravan trade in the entire capital, so he knew very well where newcomers and strangers came from, and whether they were the local tyrants in the capital.
Sure enough, after the municipal supervisor arrived and heard the request of his chief Zhao Lan, he looked at Diao Xun again. As a local tyrant in Handan, it was impossible for him not to know the guards and confidants of those dignitaries. Finally, he looked at Jin Yao, who was the newly appointed Shangqing. So the entire municipal supervisor quickly started to operate.
Less than half an hour later, the city supervisor returned and saluted to everyone, saying, "We have checked. Recently, a beggar came to Dongcheng and hid in the Dragon Mother Temple. He should be the Yin Yang family star soul that Shangqing is looking for. There is also a caravan composed of masters who are temporarily staying at the Liyang Inn. A clerk of the city supervisor heard their conversation and heard that they spoke with a Chu accent!"
"Thank you!" Jin Yao got the answer he wanted, bowed, then looked at Zhao Lan and the city supervisor and said again, "I will speak well of you to the king and the general."
"We dare not trouble Lord Shangqing!" Zhao Lan and the Municipal Supervisor were flattered, but they smiled in their hearts. Lord Shangqing is young, but he knows the ins and outs of the court very well. He can handle it!
So, after Jin Yao and Diao Xun left, Zhao Lan gave another order, "Dispatch a team of city guards to keep an eye on those people. Kill them if necessary!"
The Municipal Supervisor also nodded and sent people to secretly keep an eye on the Yin-Yang family and report to Jin Yao at any time.
Jin Yao returned to the Mohist residence and told the Six-Fingered Black Knight the information he got from the Municipal Supervisor.
"Dongjing?" The six-fingered black hero stroked his beard. No wonder the Mohist school couldn't find it. Dongjing was close to the palace, and the Mohist disciples didn't dare to get close to it. They searched around randomly, but they still couldn't find it.
"Everyone, get ready. We'll take action tonight!" Six-Fingered Black Knight gave the order directly.
"Yang Lou, go and notify the capital guards and tell them that the Mohist School will take action tonight. Let them know." said the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
This is also the custom of the Mohists. When there are actions in various cities, they will notify the local government offices in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
"No need, I've already greeted Zhao Lan!" Jin Yao spoke up to stop Yang Lou who was about to leave.
"That's good!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight and the leaders of the Mohist School were all surprised that Jin Yao knew Zhao Lan as soon as he arrived, but they did not ask any more questions.
