"My lord, did you find anything?" Seeing Di Renjie smiling, Yang Kuo hurriedly stepped forward and said softly.

Di Renjie turned around with a smile, mysteriously raised a finger, shook it in front of Yang Kuo, and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. After a while, you'll understand. ”

Seeing this, Yang Kuo didn't ask anything, so he could only nod.

Di Renjie continued, "Okay, Yang Kuo, you have to be careful about the medicinal materials tomorrow. Try not to let those people in the Longwei Dart Bureau find out. ”

Yang Kuo bowed and responded in a deep voice, "Yes!" ”

Di Renjie nodded, "Well, let's rest early." ”

"Forget it, your subordinates are still guarding you. What do you want to do, not to mention that General Li will not let go of his subordinates, and the subjects of the whole world will not let go of his subordinates. Yang Kuo looked at the place where the flying knife stabbed next to him, and said with a solemn face.

Di Renjie shook his head helplessly, knowing that it was impossible for him to be moved, "Okay, let's just go to bed in this room for one night." ”

Yang Kuo smiled and helped Di Renjie to go in the direction of the sleeping couch.

......

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Kuo went out early and secretly purchased medicinal materials everywhere. And Di Renjie also got up when Yang Kuo left, went to the street, went to the early shop, and asked for some news.

Today's morning shop is more lively than usual, and when Di Renjie arrived at this morning shop, it was already full of people.

After seeing Di Renjie come in, the owner of the shop smiled gently, stepped forward quickly, and invited Di Renjie in.

"What do you want to eat, old man?" Earlier, the boss said with a flattering smile.

Di Renjie nodded in response, "Some soy milk, and then some fritters." ”

"A bowl of soy milk, two fritters!" Earlier, the boss shouted and notified the back kitchen.

Di Renjie turned his face sideways, looked at the full shop, and said with a smile, "Boss, good business." ”

The boss had a smug smile on his face, "Yes, today is our Yide Town, the annual Prayer Festival." The whole town will come out to celebrate this festival to pray that God will have good weather and no worries about food and clothing in the coming year. ”

Di Renjie nodded, looking at the people in the other seats, talking and laughing one by one, as if they were happy. But what was a little different from usual was that on the dining table, everyone had a strange mask. Di Renjie looked surprised, pointed at it, and asked lightly, "Boss, what are these masks for?" ”

The boss sat down in front of Di Renjie and said, "This mask is unique to our Yide Town, and it is unique to us in Datang... Phew, look at my broken mouth, it's our big week, and it's the only thing. ”

The boss smiled lightly at his chubby face, and said with a flattering smile.

Di Renjie smiled, but he didn't care, and then asked, "Does this mask have any special significance?" ”

"Of course, that has a special meaning. Later, under the leadership of Mr. Qin, who is highly respected in the town, all the people in the town will wear masks and go to Qingyun Mountain, which is more than ten miles away from the town, to carry out memorial activities. ”

Di Renjie nodded. Then he frowned slightly, and then asked, "When did this masked prayer festival start, and what does this festival have to do with wearing a mask?" ”

The boss smiled mysteriously, then put his head in front of Di Renjie and said, "This prayer festival has been handed down from ancient times to the present, but wearing a mask to participate has only started recently this year. It's just that in that place of Qingyun Mountain, in recent years, a kind of assembly has been held on the Prayer Festival. It's a rich man's paradise. There's nothing you can't see, only what you can't think of. ”

When Di Renjie heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with Dao essence.

"It seems that some things about the Water Sect still need to get some information through this assembly." Thinking of this, Di Renjie raised his eyebrows, looked at the shopkeeper with interest, and asked, "Boss, you must know a lot about this assembly, right?" ”

"Of course, I've been in this town for more than a decade." The shopkeeper looked like a stinky fart.

Di Renjie then asked, "Then do you know that at this rally, there is a place for news to sell?"

The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously and whispered, "This is true." But this place involves some underground organizations, so it is much more mysterious. And that place needs to be led by someone to enter. ”

Seeing the shopkeeper at this moment, Di Renjie smiled a little obscenely, took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms, and quietly stuffed it into the shopkeeper's arms.

"Then please." Di Renjie said softly with a smiling face.

"Well said, well said!" The shopkeeper patted the silver ingot in his arms and nodded in satisfaction.

The shopkeeper turned his face sideways, looked around, and saw that the people around him didn't mean to look at him, so he tried to lower his voice, put his head in front of Di Renjie, and said softly, "Old man, when I look at you, you are the kind of businessman who relies on news to make big deals." That place, indeed, is good. I've referred quite a few people there. And nine times out of ten, they have made a fortune. ”

Di Renjie smiled, quietly raised his hand, arched his hand, and said, "Then it depends on you." ”

The shopkeeper nodded. "Well said, well said. But you go to that place, there is one thing, you have to pay attention! ”

Di Renjie stared straight at the shopkeeper with his eyes, quietly waiting for him to continue.

The shopkeeper continued, "Before you go to that place, you first have to change your clothes, and you can't show your wealth. If you reveal too much, you may be killed. After all, that place is an underground organization, specializing in some shady things. However, the information they provided so far has not gone wrong. ”

Di Renjie nodded.

"Another thing, that is, there is a special mask for the place where you go to the meeting. I'll bring it to you later. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he quickly got up and went to the back hall to mask Di Renjie.

Di Renjie watched the shopkeeper go to give him the mask, and thought secretly in his heart, "I heard the shopkeeper say that this wearing a mask to participate in the prayer festival has only risen in recent years. The reason for its rise is because of this assembly. ”

"The reason for this is worth speculating."

"The purpose of wearing masks to such gatherings is to keep people from discovering their identity. It can be said that such a gathering is a ceremony in which a blatant underground organization comes to the surface. For so many years, the government ignored it, and even more, the imperial court was completely unaware of the existence of this assembly. This is puzzling. ”

"And the emperor's treasury silver was lost here, does it have anything to do with the organizer of this rally?"

"It seems that the matter of the Water Sect can't be asked openly, so you can only listen to it from the side."

Di Renjie thought secretly in his heart.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie slowly got up, came to the window, and looked aimlessly at the street.

At this moment, there are more and more pedestrians on the street. Skipping the crowd, Di Renjie's eyes were staring straight at a ragged beggar at the corner of the archway not far away!
