Gongsun Jian exhaled deeply, it turned out that General Yu had long expected that he would come to the capital one day, so he asked Ma Miao to be a dark line, secretly searching for news and attracting people, coupled with the promotion of the criminal department, this shop has become a place where dignitaries and dignitaries must come, coupled with good quality and low price, many people will also sit here from time to time, so Ma Miao took this tavern as the center and established a huge information network in the capital.

On this list, there are both military and political parties, and there are even many evil deeds of high-ranking officials, as well as the armed forces in the city that belong to the generals.

Gongsun Jian probed and asked, "Who else knows about this thing?" ”

"Outside the capital, there is only my uncle, and in the capital, there are only you and me."

"And ...... of your men?"

Ma Miao shook his head, "I don't know, they are only responsible for collecting, and I personally investigate the matter, and now many adults in the city have a lot of friendship with me, and they can visit from time to time and check secretly." ”

Gongsun Jian stood up and put the roster into his arms, "I may need it in the next few days, you must hide the secret, don't let anyone know that I have this thing in my hand." ”

Ma Miao nodded and said: "Don't worry, if there is a place where Brother Gongsun needs it at that time, even if he speaks, this time is different from the past, Ma is also prosperous, and he can help you." ”

Gongsun Jian was very moved and patted him on the shoulder, "Since you have soared into the sky, there is no need to put it on the bright side anymore, you honestly find a few henchmen and let them do things for you, and you can be your rich man with peace of mind." ”

"Uncle Yu's order does not dare to disobey, now if I pull others to the table, I don't feel at ease."

Gongsun Jian smiled, "If there is no one you trust, I can give you a few." ”

Ma Miao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother Gongsun doesn't have to test me, my Ma Miao's life was taken back by the two, and I can reach this level thanks to the blessing of my uncle, Uncle Yu said that he was doing things for him, but in fact, he gave me another opportunity, so Ma also thought that one day he could repay the two." ”

Gongsun Jian waved his hand, "I don't have time to intrigue, what I said is the truth, there is no temptation, Brother Ma, you don't need it, just forget it, it just so happens that I will save a few helpers." ”

"I'm telling the truth, and I'm telling the truth."

Gongsun Jian trembled twice, and said jokingly: "So what are you doing with meat, I know it, then I will take this roster, and if something happens in the future, I will definitely trouble you, I will not be polite to you." ”

Ma Miao laughed, "I can't ask for it." ”

Gongsun Jian put down two pieces of broken silver, and Ma Miao was about to refuse, only to hear him say again: "The accounts that should be settled must still be settled, and the accounts that should be settled must also be calculated. ”

After saying that, Gongsun Jian walked out, he greeted Song Qingming, looked up again, and muttered, "Tianming Tavern? It's a good name, but ...... What to do when it's dark. ”

Song Qingming asked, "Don't trust him?" ”

"Believe, how can you not believe."

"I look at your expression, and I am clearly a little displeased."

Gongsun Jian shook his head and didn't speak, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly grabbed a pedestrian and asked, "This brother, do you know where the Tianming Tavern is?" ”

"That's where you came from, you didn't meet it?"

"I met it, but I didn't dare to go in, there was no one inside."

"How is it possible, the Tianming Tavern is full of people every day, even during the break between the fields, there are a lot of runners, why don't I take you to have a look?"

"No need, it's troublesome brother."

"No hindrance, no hindrance."

Gongsun Jian thanked him again, turned his head to look at Song Qingming, "Where did you go to the hall?" ”

Ma Miao put the silver in his hand and looked at the old man for a long time, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked an arc upward, which was completely different from his previous honest state, "It seems that Yu Youjun still thinks too much, I thought that I would change a lot in the mud of this capital, but I didn't expect you to have only been here for a few days, and I have seen everything that has happened since you entered the city, you have become more, and you have completely become two people!" ”

At this time, a large number of runners dressed in scumbags walked down from the second floor, and there were even cooks in the back kitchen, but they all had a characteristic, that is, their faces were full of fierce and vicious faces, and they still held all kinds of blades in their hands.

After Gongsun Jian and Song Qingming stepped into the tavern, these people retreated silently, and retreated very naturally, so that when Gongsun Jian was talking to Ma Miao, he didn't notice that there were only the two of them left in the entire tavern, until he left the tavern and looked back at the plaque.

Ma Miao sat back in his chair, poured a cup of tea, and threw the broken silver in his hand, "How is it outside?" ”

From the large number of runners stood out a person who looked extremely sloppy, with extremely long hair and beard, even knotted, but the whole body was very clean and neat, which made people look very contradictory.

"Back to the director, there are a total of three different batches of eyeliner outside, from the other three forces."

"In other words, there are at least three big clans outside staring at Gongsun Jian?"

"Not bad."

Ma Miao bowed slightly, "Didn't let them find anything unusual in the tavern?" ”

"No, the moment Gongsun Jian stepped in, the brothers of the Eagle Dog Division all went out to talk to them to attract attention."

"That's good."

Ma Miao looked out of the door, holding the teacup in his hand to his mouth, and didn't speak for a long time.

The sloppy man walked down from the stairs, "Do you want to go according to the plan now......"

Ma Miao nodded, "Bring a few more people, and let the brothers in the dog house not be idle, otherwise you will not be his opponent." ”

"My subordinates understand, but my subordinates don't know anything."

"Say."

"The subordinates don't know what the benefits will be to the director after they are killed, you can now be said to have secretly controlled the spy network of the entire capital, but once you implement this plan, everything here is likely to be burned."

Ma Miao squinted his eyebrows, "Don't ask this nonsense and concentrate on doing things." ”

"Subordinates know their mistakes."

"Let's go down."

Ma Miao rubbed his eyebrows, remembering the young man's words to test him, he suddenly smiled again, and then his expression became cold, and he snorted: "If I don't do it, it will be burned." ”

……

……

"You've asked so many people, and the answers you've gotten are all different, and you want to keep asking?"

Song Qingming looked at Gongsun Jian coldly on the side, this young man had asked no less than twenty passers-by about the situation of the Tianming Tavern, and the answer was the same, this Tianming Tavern opened from the early morning to the night closed, every hour was full of people, and the people were in an endless stream, and there was absolutely no scene like the one just now.

Gongsun Jian shook his head, "Don't ask, I probably know it in my heart." ”

"Clear?"

Gongsun Jian smiled mysteriously, his eyes slanted slightly, and whispered: "Talking about those two scoundrels in the corner, the peddler who sells rock sugar gourds, the girl in green clothes, and the aunt who is selling vegetables in front of us." ”

"What's wrong with them?"

"They're all stalking us."

After hearing this, Song Qingming subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but Gongsun Jian suddenly hugged his shoulder and pushed the sword back.

Gongsun Jian pretended to smile and said: "Normal, go forward, don't be seen by them, I don't know which force these people are from, I just seemed to be rude to ask, but in fact, I was secretly finding them out and writing them down." But this question also asks a question, we must also have the eyeliner of Tianming Tavern around us, since we entered the street of Tianming Tavern, there are fewer and fewer people, and it is completely different from what others say. ”

"So what? I feel that they are nothing more than ordinary people, who can easily defeat the enemy with just one move. ”

Gongsun Jian rolled his eyes, "Sometimes the battle that can be won does not necessarily have to be forced, but also to observe carefully, it is the best policy to be bloodless, let's see who will be the first to lose my breath tonight." ”

"Who do you think it will be?"

Gongsun Jian frowned, his face was a little embarrassed, "No one should be the Tianming Tavern, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do that." ”

"But isn't the shopkeeper of the Tianming Tavern very kind to you, and he will kill you too?"

"Kindness can also be pretended, people's hearts are unpredictable, why does a really kind person still stare at me in the dark."

Gongsun Jian sighed, he shook his head, if it was really Tianming Tavern, then General Yu's hard work would really be in vain, he really couldn't bear to see an old friend from the past, and he would meet him for the sake of profit.

Song Qingming shook his head, "Sometimes there is eyeliner and it is not all conspiracy. ”

Gongsun Jian glanced at him matter-of-factly, Song Qingming was taller Gongsun Jian, he bowed his head slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I feel like you're talking a lot today."

"I'm tired of hearing it, I don't have to say it."

Song Qingming thought that Gongsun Jian was blaming himself because of his words, so he snorted coldly, "Where to go next, I won't talk anymore." ”

Gongsun Jian laughed twice, "I didn't mean that, or I was a little curious, aren't you cold?" How has it changed now? ”

Song Qingming asked rhetorically: "Then when you saw me for the first time, didn't you give me a good face?" How has it changed now? ”

"Still holding grudges? If it weren't for your cold face that others owe me hundreds of taels of silver, I wouldn't have that attitude. ”

"What do I hold grudges against? Didn't you mention that? ”

Gongsun Jian rolled his eyes, this Song Qingming was ten years older than him, but this character was like a child of a family who did not open his mind, he was very cold and stubborn, and he had a headache when he thought of his previous secret cooperation with this person, and he didn't know if he could be reliable.

Gongsun Jian said: "Please eat some good wine and good food at noon, and then go back to the palace after lunch." ”

"Do you want to wait for the prince to leave before going back, otherwise the two of you will definitely target each other when you meet."

"If you don't see it through, you're still a good friend."

"I think the little county lord is a good person, he is good-looking, and talented, and he must have more with you."

Gongsun Jian was stunned, "You also know?" ”

"This matter has spread throughout the capital."

"So fast!"

Gongsun Jian was shocked, this kind of thing can't be spread randomly, in case it reaches Zhongzhou, even if he doesn't have that idea, I'm afraid it will be easier to explain.

"The palace's ability to communicate is still very powerful."

Gongsun Jian was full of black lines, and he thought that he was in the mood to invite Song Qingming to eat fragrant and spicy food, so he found a small restaurant casually and ate a tasteless sloppy meal.

Song Qingming didn't feel anything, in his opinion, just have a bite to eat, he is not a picky eater, most of the cold tofu in the Tianming Tavern for twenty people is eaten by him alone, which also makes Gongsun Jian have another layer of sense for him - foodie!

After the meal, out of the restaurant, Song Qingming still held a sheep bag in his hand, which contained the after-dinner drinks given by the restaurant, which was slightly salty, and generally speaking, it was okay.

He saw that Gongsun Jian, who had eaten and drank a pound of spirits, was still depressed, and he sighed, "I really don't know what you young people are thinking now, the little county lord can be said to be the most perfect person in the world, speaking of power, her father is the prince, talking about talent, she is famous in the capital, saying beauty, she can fight with the harem concubines at the age of seventeen this year, what else are you not satisfied with, you don't agree like this." ”

Gongsun Jian shook his head, "What do you know, no matter how good others are, they are no better than the lady in front of me and the fierce wife in the back." ”

"Poof".

Song Qingming, who was drinking salty soup, turned his head and spit it out after hearing this, "You, married?" ”

Gongsun Jian calmly wiped the soup on his face, "Married." ”
