Chapter 448: Putting the Long Line Forward
On the first day of the ninth month of the twenty-first year of Yongzhi, as the sun set, the night slowly fell.
Hing Wo Street is not bustling, so when night falls, shops along the street close one after another, waiting for them to open again the next day.
There is a big locust tree at the end of Xinghe Street, and the people who set up stalls under the tree have long since left, leaving only some shelters to protect from the wind and rain.
As the night deepened, the entire Xinghe Street became extremely quiet, and it was difficult to see people on the street.
It was silent, but in a restaurant dozens of meters away from the end of the street, although the lights were out, there were many people.
Under the cover of night, Chen Xiaoting sat in the box, looking at the situation at the end of the street through the window.
Although there are no people here on the surface, in fact, there are people from Jinyi Guard on the left and right streets, and it can be said that the big locust tree has been monitored at 360 degrees without dead ends.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the silence in the box was finally broken, only to hear Zhang Cheng say on the side: "My lord, could it be that the other party noticed that something had changed, and then he didn't come?" ”
Zhang Cheng's words were also to ease the atmosphere, and he was the only one who was qualified to talk to Chen Xiaoting at this time.
Sure enough, Chen Xiaoting's face was not very good-looking at this time, but he still said: "It's okay, it's okay to wait!" ”
"I want to see what tricks this White Lotus Sect thief has!"
In fact, Zhang Cheng's worries are not unreasonable.
The person who transmitted the information from the White Lotus Sect was arrested, and it is very likely that there will be some action within him, and maybe tonight's joint will be canceled.
"Zhang Cheng, you said that it would be too radical to let our people pretend to be connectors?" Chen Xiaoting asked.
In fact, this matter had been discussed before, so Zhang Cheng replied: "My lord, if the other party comes and finds that there is no one, maybe they will cancel their plan, so it's right for us to do this!" ”
"If we want to hide it, maybe we can use Liu Dong as a nail and break into the White Lotus Sect!"
Chen Xiaoting nodded, these were all his previous ideas, and then the plans made by his subordinates after perfecting them.
At this moment, a lieutenant came in and reported: "My lord, someone is already sneaking closer!" ”
Hearing someone coming, Chen Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief, and then used his eyes to look under the big locust tree at the end of Xinghe Street.
At this moment, a thin figure in black walked under the corridor on the side of the street, with a face covered and a scarf.
In fact, this kind of clothing is very dangerous in the city, and if it is seen, it will attract city patrol officials.
Xinghe Street is deserted, this person dares to wear it like this, but it also shows that its secrecy ceremony is strong.
When the man came to the big locust tree, he hid in the vendor's shed and looked around.
This scene was all seen by Liu Dong, and after confirming that no one from the White Lotus Sect would come, he would pretend to be someone from the White Lotus Sect to connect.
The errand was asked for by Liu Dong himself, and now that he has left an impression on Chen Xiaoting, he has to take the initiative to take the job in order to go further.
Just as Liu Dong was thinking about this, a slight secret sound came from behind him, which meant that Chen Baihu asked him to go over to connect.
Although Liu Dong had been prepared for this, he was still a little nervous in the face of the unknown after all.
Fortunately, he was surrounded by his own people, so there was nothing to worry about in terms of safety, and Liu Dong only hoped that he could do his errand well.
According to the previous discussion, after he appeared, he had to wait for the other party to speak first, and then he would show his stuff.
Walked over quietly, and at this time he also learned to cover his face from the other party, and was not discovered until he was a foot away from the other party.
Liu Dong's sudden appearance startled the man in black, and then the man in black said, "You're late!" ”
This cold voice surprised Liu Dong, because this was a woman's voice, which was extremely rare.
Liu Dong said "um" and didn't say anything else.
After a few seconds of silence between the two, the woman in black said, "Have you agreed to the plan on our side?" ”
We? Who is this "we"? Isn't the person on the other side from the White Lotus Sect?
Liu Dong didn't have time to think about it, only heard him lower his voice and said, "Agreed!" ”
The woman opposite was obviously relieved, and then said, "It's good to agree!" ”
There was silence between the two for a while, and finally the woman said: "What I mean from above, we meet here on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, so let's do it today!" ”
Then the woman in black turned around and left, really coming and going in a hurry, which made Liu Dong a little uncomfortable.
Originally, he expected various situations and ways to deal with them, but who knew that the two only had such a brief exchange, and then the meeting came to an abrupt end.
"We meet here on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, and it seems that the hundred households have always needed me!" Liu Dong smiled under his scarf.
Because since he has been made a connector, it has become a logical thing to let him come over every time in the future.
The hundred households want to put a long line to catch big fish, and he Liu Dong is the line in his hand.
On the other side, the people in charge of tracking today were all the people under Ban Zhengkai, so after arranging it, he came to the upstairs where Chen Xiaoting was.
After coming to Chen Xiaoting, Ban Zhengkai said, "My lord, I have caught up!" ”
Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then he waited here for the result, thinking that it shouldn't take much time, after all, Fucheng is not very big.
Half a moment later, Liu Dong, who had been connected in the past, rushed back, and now he had the qualifications to meet Chen Xiaoting directly.
"See Lord Hyakho!" Liu Dong knelt down on one knee and said.
At this time, the lights had been lit in the room, and Chen Xiaoting didn't call out, but asked, "What did you say just now?" ”
Liu Dong originally came to report his qualifications, so he recounted the situation.
After hearing this, several people present were a little surprised, and no one expected that it would be a woman who came to connect.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting sighed: "What a good means, it is precisely because we can't think of it that they are safer!" ”
In fact, Liu Dong threw out his own opinion again: "My lord, my subordinates feel that the people who came to connect, as well as the forces behind them, are not all the way to the White Lotus Sect!" ”
Then Liu Dong made a specific analysis, and it was easy to convince Chen Xiaoting and a few others.
"Since it's not the White Lotus Sect's internal joint, then who will they be?" Ban Zheng couldn't help but say.
No one could answer this question for the time being, so Chen Xiaoting said: "So, our purpose is to dig them out!" ”
"Captain Liu, I've worked hard for you tonight, get up!" Chen Xiaoting said with a hint of approval.
Liu Dong did a really good job tonight, and his subordinates discovered talents again, which made Chen Xiaoting very satisfied.
So the four of them sat in the room, drank tea slowly, and waited for the final follow-up results.
After waiting for about half an hour, the captain finally returned excitedly.
But no matter how excited he was, the number of etiquette should not be messed up, so after the captain was introduced into the room, he still bowed to Chen Xiaoting first.
After Chen Xiaoting asked, the lieutenant replied: "My lord, the thief's den has been found, and it is in a wine shop next to the Qiyuan Bridge!" ”
In a wine shop? The wine shop is full of fish and dragons, and it is indeed a good place for Tibetans.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting stood up and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Cheng, the class is ...... open."
The two people who were called immediately bowed down, and then said, "Humble duty!" ”
"Give you two days to find out the news of this thief, did you hear clearly?" Chen Xiaoting asked.
Zhang Cheng and the others immediately said: "Hear clearly, don't worry!"
