The strongest nine thousand years old

Chapter 142 Recruiting Talent

"Commander Chen, please don't make such a joke."

Accompanied by a charming voice, Hua Feidie walked in.

A fragrant breeze swept over, and Chen Dong's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The scent of Shopkeeper Hua is truly enchanting." Chen Dong looked at Hua Feidie with a smile and reached out to touch her chin, but she dodged it deftly.

"If you like, I will give it to you." Hua Feidie paused, then continued, "As for the matter of Prince Jing, please do not speculate. Tianbao Pavilion has nothing to do with Prince Jing."

"Then tell me, who is the master behind you." Chen Dong narrowed his eyes and put his right hand behind his back, ready to whip at any time.

Hua Feidie said: "My boss is a Hu merchant who came to Yanjing to do business. There are more than 20 of them."

"Yanjing is a big city and housing is hard to come by, so the bosses can only find other ways to supplement their household income."

Chen Dong was still smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile.

"You're very frank. But I don't like the answer."

Hua Feidie said helplessly: "This is the truth."

"Then tell the boss behind you that I will host a banquet for them at Cuihonglou tomorrow night. Anyone who dares not come can't blame the knives in the hands of the Jinyiwei!" Chen Dong said coldly.

Hua Feidie was very upset, and she clenched and unclenched her fists many times. She wanted to kill Chen Dong, but she didn't dare.

Chen Dong represents the Yan court. She does not have the ability or courage to confront the court.

"I will definitely convey the commander's words." Hua Feidie said gritting her teeth.

Yan Shiqi swung the knife, cutting a corner of Hua Feidie's sleeve, and a piece of red gauze fell to the ground.

"If you dare to play tricks, this piece of red cloth will be your fate!" Yan Shiqi had a ferocious look on his face and murderous eyes.

Hua Feidie was angry but dared not say anything, her face turned pale.

"Let's go!" Chen Dong glanced at Old Jiang and smiled coldly.

Old Jiang trembled all over, his scalp tingled, and he felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

After Chen Dong and Yan Shiqi left Tianbao Pavilion, he immediately asked Hua Feidie for leave, "Manager Hua, I suddenly remembered that something happened at home, so I'll leave today."

Hua Feidie said: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry. The Jinyiwei will not arrest anyone at will."

Old Jiang smiled awkwardly, bowed to Hua Feidie, and quickly left Tianbao Pavilion.

He took a shortcut, took a detour, and hurriedly left the ghost market.

Moreover, the entrance chosen was not the well-known ghost market entrance.

Even so, as soon as he came out of the ghost market, he saw a familiar figure.

Chen Dong!

Old Jiang's pupils shrank, and he turned and ran away with a look of horror on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.

However, a man and a sword appeared behind him.

Of course he was familiar with the sword, as it had just been placed on his neck.

Yan Seventeen!

"Old man, we've been waiting for you for half an hour." Yan Shiqi said impatiently.

"You...how did you think of blocking me here?" Old Jiang asked unwillingly.

"Of course it's the commander who's in charge of all the strategic plans." Yan Shiqi flattered him.

Chen Dong said calmly: "I see that you are a smart person. Smart people certainly know not to stand under a dangerous wall. If you encounter danger, you will definitely run away. You are worried that we will block you at the entrance of the ghost market, so you chose this remote path."

"Unfortunately, the person behind you is a frequent visitor to the Ghost Market and knows all the entrances and exits of the Ghost Market very well."

Yan Shiqi snorted, pressed on step by step, his face grim, "Come with us!"

I am the fish on the chopping board, and Mr. Jiang can only sigh heavily.

Return to the Jinyiwei Mansion.

Chen Dong asked Yan Shiqi to go and have a rest, while he interrogated Mr. Jiang in the office.

"Say now what you were not comfortable saying in Tianbao Pavilion just now." Chen Dong poured a cup of tea for Old Jiang.

Elder Jiang held the teacup in his hand and sighed, "Commander! Sir! You are an incredible hero! Why do you have to keep staring at an old man like me?"

Chen Dong sat on the chair, his feet on the table, staring at Jiang Lao with a half-smile, "It's just that you know too much."

Mr. Jiang was speechless.

"If I tell it, I will definitely die. Please be merciful and let me go." Old Jiang said with a wry smile.

"An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure." Chen Dong pointed at Old Jiang, "It's impossible for him to let him go. I will allow you to join the Jinyiwei and be responsible for intelligence processing. Your position will be second only to mine!"

"Your family members and friends can also join the Jinyiwei, and the inheritance will last forever. After your death, there will be a place for you in the Martyrs Cemetery, and you will be worshipped by Dayan forever!"

"Gudu"

Old Jiang swallowed his saliva, and a hint of intention flashed in his eyes.

Chen Dong said while the iron was hot: "I have sent the Jinyiwei to investigate the situation of the Northern Barbarians. Dayan is determined to conquer the North, which is an unprecedented achievement in expanding the territory. If you can join them and make contributions, it will be no problem to give your wife and children a title!"

"puff"

Elder Jiang knelt on his knees and said sincerely, "Thank you for the opportunity, Commander. I am willing to join the Jinyiwei and serve you at my utmost!"

Chen Dong was overjoyed and helped Jiang Lao up personally. "With Jiang Lao's help, the Jinyiwei will surely reach a higher level!"

As the Jinyiwei expanded, Chen Dong was in urgent need of professional talents. Jiang Lao's head was not only filled with intelligence of all sizes, but he was also a capable person in processing and analyzing intelligence. Moreover, he had his own intelligence network behind him, which saved Chen Dong a lot of effort.

Chen Dong called Wei Liang and introduced the two parties. From now on, Mr. Jiang would be the head of the Jinyiwei Southern Factory, and Wei Liang would be the commander, assisting Mr. Jiang in his work.

Although he felt the title of "factory manager" was strange, the power was real, so Mr. Jiang gladly accepted it.

Chen Dong also learned the source of Jiang Lao's information - a street beggar.

The little beggar himself does not attract much attention, so he is the perfect person to ask for information.

When Chen Dong was listening to music in the brothel, he saw a beggar wandering outside, but he did not investigate further.

I guess that beggar was collecting information for Mr. Jiang.

Thinking of this, Chen Dong suddenly had an idea and took out the portraits of Xiao Cui and Mr. Xie.

"Mr. Jiang, do you know these two people?" Chen Dong asked expectantly.

"This woman used to be a member of Cuihonglou. This old man planned the palace coup on a rainy night and was the mastermind behind the aristocratic family."

"Moreover, this woman goes by the pseudonym Qingshuang. She once performed on the stage of Tinghualan and has a scar on her face."

Elder Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "The commander asked me to take the portrait and ask them. As long as these two are still in Yanjing City, they will definitely reveal their true colors."

Chen Dong asked Yan Shiqi to take a few people to protect Mr. Jiang closely and make sure to bring the two wanted criminals to justice!

Before leaving, Old Jiang whispered something to Chen Dong.

This was also what Chen Dong had asked Old Jiang before - did Prince Jing have any rebellious intentions, and was he the behind-the-scenes owner of Tianbao Pavilion?

"I have a cooperative relationship with Tianbao Pavilion, and I usually deal with Shopkeeper Hua. One day, I saw Shopkeeper Hua welcoming someone. I was curious, so I asked someone to follow that person. Unexpectedly, that person finally returned to Prince Jing's Mansion."

"He's wearing a ghost mask, and judging by his height and build, he should be a man. If the commander wants to investigate, he can have someone keep an eye on Prince Jing's mansion."

Chen Dong nodded to show that he understood.

After Old Jiang, Yan Shiqi and others left, Chen Dong immediately went to Prince Jing's Mansion.
