The sunset in Jiangning is heavy with a heavy breath, like an old man, exuding the last ray. However, the glow on the horizon, in the bleak cold, makes some people mistakenly think that it is the rising sun in the early morning, and everything is still beautiful.

Zhen Feng has speculated on Xu You's words many times, and Xu You also has a warning: Boy, the old man, as the prime minister, feels that this matter is dangerous, so don't get involved, stay where it is cool.

The question of whether or not to venture out is a question. For Zhen Feng, the darkness at sunset and the appearance of demons and monsters from all walks of life are inevitable in the Tang Kingdom in recent years, but just owing Xu You a favor for his life makes his heart a little uncomfortable. At the moment, it is all a risk for Xu You, which shows that the harm involved in private salt and the situation of the Tang Dynasty is what Xu You cares about, since this is the case, then do your best, otherwise the favor will not be repaid.

He called Martin and asked him more about his visit to the dock black market that day. According to what Martin said, it was inquired that the illicit salt came from the Weisoft and was a local snake called "Boss Jia" through the Caoyun Wharf. However, Martin has been working at the docks all these years, and he has often dealt with Boss Jia, so the relationship is relatively close, and Boss Jia said it when he inadvertently bragged, and then he didn't say much about the Wei Ruan. In fact, the Wei Nguyen is engaged in wholesale and freight transportation of northern land goods, and often travels back and forth between the north and the south.

Therefore, the source of information about the smuggling and selling of illicit salt in large quantities through Caoyun is Boss Jia. The clue that can be found so far is this, Zhen Feng immediately asked Martin to take a jar of "drunk life and dream death" out to find Boss Jia.

It was night again, and Zhen Feng followed Martin to a single-family house not far from Caoyun Wharf, although it was a private house, but the scale was not small. This is Boss Jia's home. knocked on the door, and it took a long time for an old servant to open the door, but he was told that Boss Jia had not returned home yet, and he had not heard of a party.

Martin said suspiciously: "No, there is no special work and entertainment, Boss Jia should go home for dinner at this hour." ”

"Could it be that the work on the docks is not over yet, so you haven't returned home yet?"

"No, it's dark and it's not going to work, it's easy to have problems. Let's go to the dock and ask the guy on duty. ”

When he arrived at the docks, Martin found a guy who was drinking, and the guy also said that he hadn't been back to the docks since Boss Jia was called away at noon.

"It's strange, I left at noon and didn't come back, and I didn't say hello to my family, something must have happened."

"Martin, let's go, go to the Wei Ruan."

The two hurried to the city, and the Weisoft was located in a prosperous area, surrounded by the homes of many princes and ministers. As soon as they arrived on the street at the gate of the Wei Nguyen, they saw a group of guards escorting two four-person palanquins out of the gate of the Wei Nguyen and walking towards them. Zhen Feng signaled to hide first, and when the sedan chair team passed, the two secretly followed.

I followed all the way to the gate of Wangjiang Tower, entered the land of fireworks on the Qinhuai River, and came to the side door of the Flower Building. The people in the sedan chair did not get out of the sedan chair, but went in directly after the door was knocked on.

Zhen Feng asked Martin puzzled, "What's the situation?" ”

"Some dignitaries don't want to be seen in the place of fireworks, so the flower room building deliberately left a side door, which allows guests to take a sedan chair directly into the private room. Generally, the more distinguished guests are, the private rooms they set are all private courtyards. ”

"Is there a way to blend in, if only we could know who they are at the party and hear what they're talking about."

"It's a bit harder. First of all, you need to know which private room they are in. But, hehe, blessed are you who met me Martin, the shopkeeper, I know a way to find out. ”

Martin took Zhen Feng and climbed over the wall from a tree near the side door, but when he went down, Martin showed his ability to crow and steal, and Zhen Feng was embarrassed, and he was almost hugged by Martin. The two of them came to a miscellaneous lot, where there were a few ordinary bungalows, and it was almost impossible to imagine that this was in the Flower Building. The bungalow was dimly lit, and Martin handed the jar he was holding in his arms to Zhen Feng, asking Zhen Feng to hide first, and he wanted to go in and ask.

After a while, Martin came out, and Zhen Feng jumped out of the darkness and asked, "So fast?" Asked out? ”

"Shopkeeper, you scared me. Walk, talk as you go. ”

Martin took him to shuttle in the backyard of the Flower Building, and said as he walked: "Shopkeeper, just now I asked the guy I knew when I was a helper before, he is responsible for guarding this private room, and after a little questioning, I know that Wei Ruan has chartered the Yanyu Pavilion tonight, and the Yanyu Pavilion is the best courtyard in the Huajian Building, where you can feast guests, enjoy singing and dancing, and there are a few rooms where guests can stay overnight." ”

"Is there any place in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion where I can eavesdrop?"

Martin shook his head and said, "I've been there, to be honest, it must be heavily guarded, the banquet room is on the second floor, and there are sentry positions all around, unless we fly to the roof, it is impossible to peek and eavesdrop." ”

Zhen Feng saw the smile on the corner of Martin's mouth, relaxed a little, and said, "Don't sell it, what else can you say quickly." ”

"Haha, I can't hide it from you. Each yard has a place for the coachman and the sedan chair driver to rest and wait, we can go to see first, although I did all the chores before, but I have also entered a lot of rich and noble mansions, some of the car and horse signs are still recognized, some people may be familiar. Also, there is a door in that place that allows you to enter the backyard of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, which can avoid many sentry positions. ”

The two came to a courtyard outside the wall, which was a two-story attic, with lights and the faint sound of silk and bamboo. They walked around the stone path at the base of the wall to the back door of the backyard. Martin took Zhen Feng into the back door, hid behind a tree, and pointed to the layout of the backyard, the location of the carriage and horses, the rest area, the location of the connecting door, and so on.

It's just that it's too dark, the lights of the bungalows are too weak, and there are a lot of carriages and sedan chairs with unloaded horses in the open space, which are densely packed and can't be seen clearly in the night. Martin put the wine on the ground and said softly, "Shopkeeper, you wait for me here, I'll take a look at it closely." Don't make a sound. ”

As soon as Martin went to the open space, the back door was pushed open with a "squeak", and two lanterns led the way in front.

Zhen Feng's heart beat faster with a "bang", and a little cold sweat broke out in his palms. If Martin is bumped into, how can he be good, who is attending the banquet at the moment, and what is going on inside, he hasn't had time to find out, what did the seventh aunt do when he ran here at night? Zhen Feng had a hunch that Boss Jia's disappearance might be related to the Wei Ruan. Is tonight's investigation going to be ruined? Buddha, Tianzun, God, join hands to bless, don't have any accidents!
