Chapter 1 Confusion and darkness
"Say where is the secret letter"
There was a man tied to the rusty cell door, and he had confessed before he had been tortured
"I don't know, but I can find it for you," Bi Cong'an looked up from the rope, he stared at the person in front of him like a child, "There is one more condition"
"Say"
He glanced at the dead accomplice on the side before pouting and speaking:
"I'll help you find a secret letter, you have to keep me safe"
In April, the capital was bustling with activity, Bi Cong'an crossed the East Street and entered an inconspicuous alley, he knew that he only had five days, and in five days, the Shengshang would return from Xunzhou, and when he passed by the South Street, the people of Anmin Society would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to present the evidence of the adultery of the Six Gates to the Shengshang
"Yo, this master, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel~" He chewed the pastry and stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary inn, attracting the attention of the shopkeeper, the man smiled as if he was courteous, and Bi Cong'an just waved his hand, he lowered his head and spared his ears, raised his eyes and said, "I'm looking for the girl"
"Ouch, sir, this is an inn, not a green building~ If you want to find a girl, just turn left and walk all the way out of this alley~" The shopkeeper smiled and pointed to the direction, Bi Cong'an just glanced at it, he took out the osmanthus cake from his pocket and took a bite, and then he shook his shoulders and stared at the shopkeeper and smiled: "Don't be poor, I know that you have a store and she gave me a handkerchief a few days ago, look at this thing"
Saying that, Bi Cong'an pulled out the handkerchief in his clothes and raised the shopkeeper, and then nodded reassuringly: "Yes, this master, please come with me, that girl has been waiting for you for a long time."
When he walked up the rough stairs and stood outside the door of the wing room, Bi Cong'an hesitated, the shopkeeper had already gone down, he stayed there alone, and finally changed his expression and pushed the door in
"Cong'an"
The person sitting in the house was sleepless, Bi Cong'an's childhood sweetheart, the plague was rampant, and the two of them scattered to the end of the world, but they didn't expect to meet An Minshe again in the capital two years ago, or she recommended her
"Something happened, Qin Gang is a traitor," Bi Cong'an closed the doors and windows tightly, he sat opposite Wumian with a serious expression, "After he was arrested, Brother Yue was found in the six doors, and now Yue Menchang may be dead, and the next one to be arrested may be me."
"Qin Gang's betrayal, this news is sure that there is no error" Wumian seemed to have a look of disbelief, Bi Cong'an lowered his head after hearing this, took a deep breath, he licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes began to turn a little overwhelmed, and when he looked up again, his eyes were already full of bloodshots, and his clenched fist slammed towards the table:
"Qin Gang was arrested, Yue Menchang's life and death are unknown, the third of us is a brother who serves the Anmin Society, and the next one may be me, do you know, I may ...... will die"
"Cong'an, don't get excited, you have to analyze this matter carefully," Wumian rubbed the corners of her eyes, she was very confused now, Qin Gang was her introducer, she didn't believe it...... This faithful master would be a traitor
And she didn't know that Qin Gang died for the secret letter, and Yue Menchang was betrayed by Bi Cong'an
"The three of us are like brothers, especially Menchang, Sleepless, the matter has happened, Qin Gang was arrested, Yue Menchang had an accident, you believe it will be a coincidence"
He gritted his teeth, breathing very rapidly, and his bloodshot eyes were actually moist, and tears slid down his cheeks, making Sleepless think again
"Cong'an, I will report this matter to Brother Song, you transfer ...... first" Sleepless sighed weakly, she got up and walked in front of Bi Cong'an, hugged him squarely, "You have to be careful yourself"
"What are you talking about, sleepless, I'm a little bad here, so you know" Bi Cong'an looked up, he pointed to his ears, and the look was as simple as a child
"I'll tell you to be careful"
She smiled bitterly and raised her voice
"Oh good"
Bi Cong'an nodded thoughtfully, he saw that Sleepless walked out of the wing, and only then did he sniff and take out the osmanthus cake wrapped in paper from his pocket, this thing Sleepless never eats, but he likes it very much
Qin Gang died in front of his eyes, Yue Menchang was arrested again, but he would definitely not choose to rebel, it was also a dead end, and Song Qiao, the fifth director of the Anmin Society, would definitely suspect him Bi Cong'an's head
You have to think about it
He's going to have to think about it...... How to survive
"This relationship can only last if it is broken"
The most lively place in the capital, except for the Qinglou, is the theater
As soon as Bi Cong'an came out of the inn, he went to the Red Garden to listen to the play, he sat in the corner drinking weak tea, seemingly leisurely, but thinking about many questions
In whose hands was the secret letter, the first person he thought of was Song Qiao'an, and the brothers of the Minshe in the capital were in his charge, so the task of submitting the secret letter to the saint would of course fall on him
It's just who Song Qiao will send to carry it out
Bi Congrao followed him from behind his ear, staring at the tea, and just thought of something, but was interrupted by an unfamiliar voice
"Mr. Bi, you are Mr. Bi," a middle-aged man walked over, he was dressed in black, and he was facing Bi Cong'an, Bi Cong'an also left his seat and made a regular salute when he saw this, and his puzzled eyes showed his embarrassment, "Forgive me for my bad memory, may I ask if you are ......?"
"Oh, look at me, I'm Bao's father, he has been in private school since he entered the private school, and after listening to Mr.'s class, those words that he doesn't recognize are now recognized~ This is all thanks to Mr.'s teaching"
"No, it's not that you teach your son well," Bi Cong'an lowered his head and smiled, and he made a gesture of please, "Come and sit"
"Sir, it's polite, but you don't need to sit down, I'll leave first if I have something to do," the middle-aged man smiled slightly, slowly took a few steps back, and then turned to leave, watching the man walk out of the gate of the Red Garden, Bi Cong'an smiled coldly
He shook his thighs, looked around, drank a cup of tea, and then inertly brewed a cup and drank it one by one, looking a little uneasy in the long play, and finally he dropped the copper plate and walked out of the red garden while the crowd was crowded
A few steps before turning into an alley, he was obviously walking in a hurry, but he suddenly stopped at the next corner, Bi Cong'an pouted, slapped his waist, took out a knife, hid it in his sleeve, and waited for the man to walk into the trap
Sure enough, the middle-aged man who had just said goodbye to him followed in a panic, and Bi Cong'an leaned against the stone wall, and the man turned a corner and was caught by him with a knife
"Who sent you to follow me?"
This question made the man's mind blank, and he took out the token tremblingly, and replied, "Six, the people of the six doors ......"
Bi Cong'an, who got this answer from the six doors, breathed a sigh of relief, he withdrew the knife, and smiled softly at the middle-aged man, "What are the people from the six doors looking for me to do?"
