Volume 1 From the Academy Chapter 37 The Beggar Gang Spy House
Overnight, the news of the young gang leader of the Chu family's Dasheng Giant Tiger Gang spread overwhelmingly in Luochuan City.
For a while, the little marquis Chu Yi moved Luochuan.
But the real man of the year is not him, but Wen Tingkai.
Wen Tingkai became a poem in eight steps, named "Wen Babu", and his name spread far and wide, becoming the object of reading and worship.
The song "Jin Se" has become the first choice for women in the boudoir to be married.
In particular, the four sentences of "there are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking; this situation can be recalled, but it was already lost at that time", which made them secretly promise and look forward to it in their hearts.
At the same time, in the streets, a song about Wen Tingkai was circulating: I am ugly, but I am very gentle. The day is bleak, the night is immortal, that's me. (Zhao Chuan, "I'm Ugly, But I'm Gentle")
His ugliness, in the eyes of readers, has become a golden signboard.
His ugliness, among the boudoir show girls, has become the most affectionate.
In the entire Luochuan City, it has reached the realm of "no one knows Wen eight steps, even if you read, it is in vain".
But what puzzled everyone was that after that night, Wen Tingkai was not seen. So much so that many scholars ran to the door of the Chu Mansion to gather and asked Chu Yi to release Wen Tingkai.
At this time, Chu Yi was at the old lady's place.
"Where did you hide Wen Tingkai?" the old lady asked.
Although the old lady stayed at home, she was still aware of the big events that were happening outside.
When he learned about his grandson's performance at Jasper Place, the smile never closed. On the contrary, Wei's brow is furrowed.
The bigger Chu Yi's fame, the greater the threat to her.
But her husband is coming back, and now is not a good time to do it, so she can only endure it.
Han Qingya's death, she suspected that Chu Yi did it secretly, but because there was no evidence, she could only assume that he did it.
Therefore, this resentment made her hate Chu Yi even more.
Chu Yi said disapprenously: "These scholars are not good at studying, and they have nothing to do." Let them go. ”
The old lady frowned, and said coldly: "Your father will be in Luochuan in four days." It's not that you don't know that your father has a lot of respect for readers. If he sees today's scene, your good days will come to an end. ”
When Chu Yi heard that the old father he had never met was coming back, he was extremely unhappy.
"Grandma, Wen Tingkai is my sworn brother, I can still harm him. Chu Yi said frankly.
When the old lady heard this, her expression softened, and she said softly: "Since he is your sworn brother, he is a person from our Chu Mansion, and you must treat others well." Such a genius, if one day he ascends to the branch and enters the court, it will also be of great benefit to our Chu family. ”
Chu Yi nodded and said, "Grandma, you have to keep this matter secret for your grandson, I don't want people to know about it for the time being." However, don't worry, your grandson is measured. ”
"Measured, measured, you still tear your face with the Giant Tiger Gang. The old lady complained.
Chu Yi explained: "I was bullied to the door of the house, how could my grandson not fight back? Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost my father's face." Besides, I am willing to gamble and lose, it is justified, his giant tiger gang is more resistant than the emperor Lao Tzu, and he can't turn his face with me. ”
When the old lady saw that he was sharp-toothed, she was relieved and worried. After all, young people are prone to impulsiveness and recklessness in doing things.
"The Giant Tiger Gang has a great influence in Yunzhou officialdom. This time, you just dug a treasure from Qin Huai's mouth, how could Qin Huai give up. If you don't handle it well, the magistrate will give your father a few copies of the crime of teaching his son and bullying the place, and he will be passive when the time comes. Therefore, this matter is still waiting for your father to come back and deal with it. ”
Chu Yi didn't want to take the initiative to break the contract for his father in order to balance his relationship with Yunzhou officialdom.
"Grandma, don't worry, this matter is a big matter, and my grandson knows what is at stake. Chu Yi verbally agreed.
Coming out of the old lady, Chu Yi went straight to Ling Yan's residence.
It can be learned from Qingwen that Ling Yan has not seen anyone in the past few days. As for the specific reason, Qingwen is also unknown.
However, Chu Yi knew in his heart that Ling Yan should be practicing in retreat, and he had reached a certain critical point.
In desperation, Chu Yi boarded the carriage from the back door.
Tong Ming asked, "Childe, where are you going?"
"Go to the academy. ”
Since the academy has not yet been listed, outsiders do not know that this will soon become a academy.
Chu Yi and Tong Ming walked in, and the nursing home hurriedly informed Liu Decai, who hurriedly came out to greet him.
"My subordinates have seen Childe. ”
Chu Yi nodded and said, "Find a place where you can talk." ”
Liu Decai led him to a seemingly ordinary, but really dark house.
"It's very secretive, it's good. ”
Walking into the dark room, Chu Yi looked around, and everything was complete.
"Uncle Liu, there is something I want to discuss with you, I don't know if it is feasible?" Chu Yi was a little undecided.
Liu Decai said: "Son, please speak." ”
"The beggar gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and its disciples are all over the Southern Tang Dynasty. I recognize your ability to find out the news. Therefore, I would like to ask you, do the beggars have a very strict spy system? That is, the kind that specializes in finding out information. ”
Liu Decai pondered for a moment and said, "Gongzi, the beggar gang does have such an institution. However, his subordinates were not qualified enough to have contact with him. But..."
"But what?"
Liu Decai took out a black token from his arms, handed it over and said, "Childe, this is what Elder Xiao asked me to pass on to you." ”
The token is as black as ink, like jade but not jade, like wood and not wood, I don't know what material it is made of, it feels very heavy in my hand, and the weight is very heavy.
The front of the token is engraved with four seal characters of "begging the world", and the back is engraved with two seal characters of "spy house".
"What is this?"
"Childe, our beggar gang is divided into two factions: clean clothes and black clothes. The Wuyi faction follows the ancient precept and begs for a living, which is my faction. The Purifying Clothes Sect went deep into the official and business worlds, and no one knew their identities except for the gang leader and the Dharma Protector Elder. As far as his subordinates know, in addition to the two factions of Wujing, there is also the theory of a spy house. Elder Xiao passed the spy token to Gongzi, firstly to prove that Elder Xiao was in charge of the beggar spy house, and secondly, in the future, the spy mansion would be in charge of Gongzi. ”
Chu Yi held the black token, thinking about the picture when Xiaoyaozi left, and said secretly: "Old Xiao, you really know how to play." ”
It stands to reason that Lao Xiao should have given him directly that night for such an important thing, so why let Liu Decai hand it over?
How did Chu Yi know that this token was purely a toy in Xiaoyaozi's eyes, and it was a treasure.
"Uncle Liu, why did you only take it out now?" Chu Yi couldn't figure it out.
Liu Decai hurriedly explained: "Childe doesn't know. The Elder has an account, and this token can only be handed over if you mention it. The subordinates just complied with it, and hoped that the son would forgive his sins. ”
Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "Uncle Liu, this matter has nothing to do with you, I just can't figure it out." ”
Liu Decai continued: "Childe, the elder has also confessed, when the token is handed over to you, I will notify one person to come to see you. ”
"Who?"
Liu Decai speculated: "The elder didn't say it. But my guess is that it has something to do with the espionage. ”
Chu Yi nodded and said, "Okay." Then let him come over now. ”
Liu Decai took the order and left.
Chu Yi sat in the dark room, holding the black token and was speechless. Although he didn't know why Xiaoyaozi did this, it was clear that he had arranged everything before leaving.
The beggar gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, and it is unbelievable that he can sit in the position of an elder so easily.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a purple shirt followed Liu Decai into the dark room.
When he saw the black token in Chu Yi's hand, he immediately knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "Subordinate, Yunzhou 'Gen Si Envoy' Cai Hua, see Elder." ”
Chu Yi nodded, didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
