The wind in Chang'an City suddenly became tighter, which made many foreign traders and newly settled people in a state of nervousness.

As the current leader of the bad guys, Nail has always been in charge of intelligence issues, and now she has arranged for someone to quietly spread the news of the murder of a servant in the princess's mansion, in order to startle the snake and try to fish in troubled waters to find some clues.

Disguised as a down-and-out man, his face was painted a little black with nails, like a farmer who had been exposed to the sun all year round, with unkempt hair, wandering through the streets, and at the same time came to an alley corner.

There were all kinds of waste piled up around the corner of the alley, and there was an uncomfortable smell coming from the two deep ditches, but Nail didn't mind, but went straight to a dog hole, and climbed in without any contrast, and saw several thugs wandering in the market.

These thugs were sitting on the wall, and were fighting crickets, and after realizing it, they saw a stranger coming in, and one of the thugs led by scolded a few times in a bad tone, and then asked normally, "Who are you?" ”

After the thug finished shouting, he felt that something was wrong, and the one who could crawl out of the dog hole must be an acquaintance of the boss, and looking at the other party's appearance, he also looked like a 'kind', so he didn't care whether the other party replied or not, glanced at it and fought crickets with his companions around him, and continued his happy time.

Nail glanced at the group of thugs with cold eyes, and he didn't plan to respond, but he just commented in his heart that the security situation here was getting worse day by day, and there was at least one dark spot when he came last time, and now he can't even see the dark spot, so careless.

Walking into the courtyard of the house familiarly, I soon came to a relatively tall wooden house, but this house was built behind the wall, except for the dog hole, there was almost no place to pass, this seemed to be a snail dwelling built in a small area of the wall.

When I knocked on the door, the nails smelled a smell of alcohol, and with a little brain, I knew that they must have been drinking all night and living an irregular life.

After a long time, the door opened, and out came a sleepy-eyed man, with a rough rosacea and a red rash, apparently the strength of the wine had not subsided.

"Hiccup! You are..."

The nail didn't care about him, pushed the door directly, the strong smell of wine rushed to his nose, pinched his nose and opened the doors and windows, and saw several market scoundrels lying on the ground, and the slightly cold corners of his eyes did not flicker any changes.

"Mouse, how is the thing I gave you?"

Hearing this cold female voice, the big man who opened the door suddenly became excited, and he was a little at a loss, the person who came was none other than the bad guy who led the nails, and the wandering woman who seemed to be a bully who was very familiar with them before.

"Haha... That," the rat stepped forward to wake up several of his subordinates one by one, and then sat down on the table to wake up, "Tell this commander what you have found!" ”

Several of the marketmen heard what the boss said, looked at each other, and then told their news.

After listening to this, the rats will also add some news, including that they have seen the whereabouts of suspected Tubo people in those streets, and those people often haunt the territory of Jingjiao.

After hearing this, the nail took out a bag of copper coins and threw them to them, and told them to continue to keep an eye on the street, and if there was any news, they would send it directly to the stronghold of the bad people in Da'an Fang, and then walk towards the door, ready to leave here.

"Well, Commander, there's one more thing, I think it's necessary to mention, it's strange that a family selling Hu Biscuits hasn't shown up for a few days in the neighborhood of Anle Fang, after all, we collect their rent on time every month!"

Hearing this, the nail did not respond, directly turned over to the roof, climbed over the towering fang wall from an inconspicuous corner, and walked in the direction of Anle Fang, according to what they said, similar to the place where the Tubo people appeared is also there, I heard that there is also a reception point of the Hu brigade of Jingjiao, if it is mixed in, it is very possible.

All the way to the road, the nail from the door into the Anle Fang, here the houses are lined up, the street can be heard everywhere the sound of selling, now the transaction does not need a location, as long as the registration confirmation of the municipal office, pay a certain amount of taxes and fees regularly, you can operate at will.

Get out of the flow of people, turn a corner, through a small alley, come to the house where Jingjiao is, when the nail is sure that no one around is looking at him, he sneaks into Jingjiao's house, just entered, he saw several portraits of Emperor Gaozu Taizong, but these portraits are already worn, and there are white spider webs hanging in the corners of the portraits.

The incense burner was already dusty, and the nails were searched everywhere, and it was finally determined that there was no one living in it and no one was moving around it.

After doing this, she wandered around the streets again, occasionally seeing some of her own kind who were just as downtrodden as herself, but she didn't go up to huddle together to comfort each other's souls.

After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to go and see the family that the mouse was talking about, a merchant who made a living by selling cakes, and it was indeed unusual for him not to open for several days.

Nail then recalled the place where the family set up the stall, that is, where their house was, and walked towards the location of the door of the workshop, and came to the more familiar place in her memory, where she and the mouse had come to collect rent, and the memory was just two small people who operated and survived here.

Seeing the closed stall door, the nail sat close to the door by the steps, and then pulled up the weeds growing in the gap between the steps with her hands, her eyes were always looking around, she also wanted to find the mouse at the door of the shop What they said looked like a Tibetan guy, and when the sun slowly fell halfway up the sky, she lightly used a small hook to activate the wooden lattice window bolt, and directly turned over and went in.

Coming to the room, the nail looked around vigilantly, and soon she found an abnormality, the smell of rat feces and urine was very strong, and after checking around the room, it was a relatively simple storage room, and when she went inside, the smell of dead rats became stronger and stronger.

The nail couldn't help covering his mouth, resisted the urge to retch, passed through the small lobby, in which he also saw a bunch of bamboo steamers for making cakes, and entered a small yard full of vegetables, the nails looked around, here is very narrow, there is only one main house, three side houses, one of the side houses is still a kitchen, the latrine and the open pigsty are connected together, and the pigsty is in the east corner of the yard.

Walking into the vegetable garden, the nail smelled a peculiar smell that it shouldn't have, it stinked, and she couldn't help but wonder if the family had been killed.

Walking around the garden, she saw a dead pig, half-hidden in the rape field, and the nail frowned, and after staring at the dead pig for a long time, she had to go to the kitchen to find a hoe, and dig out the whole dead pig, and at the same time dig up a half-rotten human hand.

At this point, a creepy sensation bubbled up from the nails.
