On the surface, Wang Faxiang did not change in the slightest, he continued to walk in the direction of the restaurant, observing with the corner of his eye as he walked, except for the personnel of the action team who had been slowly moving with him, Wang Faxiang found that there were obviously several people who were also constantly looking at him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The face is handsome, tall, and about thirty years old, which is already very consistent with the record of Wang Faxiang on the Houjin side, but the other party did not act, it is obvious that their intelligence source is very single, most of them are the traces left by He Yusheng in the past few operations were detected by him, and before they were determined, these details did not choose to do it.

Wang Faxiang walked to the door of the restaurant and did not choose to enter, but stood beside Li Hongyang, his lips moved slightly, and he made a whispered conversation.

Li Hongyang knew what he meant, and his eyes couldn't help but show a worried look, but he still cooperated very well to make a secret expression on his face.

This kind of conversation doesn't actually prove anything, and it is impossible for the information transfer with Yusheng to be in such a primitive and easily exposed form, but in the eyes of those post-Jin Xizuo, the traces here are more obvious, which can help them make up their minds.

Wang Faxiang stood for a while and then chose to leave, he saw a vendor in front of him who picked up wontons and nodded slightly to him, and made an affirmative hand gesture, Wang Faxiang felt relieved, knowing that the other party followed.

Not far ahead is the entrance of the lamp market, which is one of the most prosperous areas of the Ming Jingshi, there are many shops, dense crowds, there are many people who come out to shop at night, at least before the change is very lively, especially the weather is warm recently, there are a lot of people who come out to hang out at night, if the Houjin side does not do it here, it will be difficult to continue this action.

Wang Faxiang is to gamble with the other party to see if the other party can give up decisively, and then look for opportunities.

The downtown is in front, people come and go, there are a lot of people carrying lanterns to do errands or hanging out, all kinds of vendors with snacks and snacks are selling along the street, it seems that there is no difference at all The prelude to the night of the Beijing division has been opened, the restaurant behind is brightly lit, the guests are coming, this restaurant is the intelligence distribution center that has been discovered early, only the Jinyiwei and Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty are unconscious, and the Jin Fang has long found out that there are many thrilling secret battles here, but Wang Faxiang never expected, One day, he will become the protagonist of a dark war.

……

"I've seen Cao's husband."

Li Guobin and Liu Ji came out together, Cao Huachun was waiting in the small living room of the store, and the middle-aged eunuch was not sitting, but was watching the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back.

As soon as the two came in, they saluted, Cao Huachun waved his hand, turned around and smiled at the two: "It is the shopkeeper Liu who has a short beard, and the beautiful beard is Li Xianggong, isn't it?" ”

Li Guobin has a fake fame, and the people in Beijing know a lot, but no one will expose him without interest, after all, Wei Zhongxian's mansion can often enter, and he has some friendship with various princes, and in the broker family of the Jingshi generation, even if he does not have Yusheng Li Guobin, he also has some identities, not to mention that there is still a bonus with Yusheng.

Liu Ji smiled and nodded, Li Guobin took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to get to know Cao's husband, but I have never had a chance, after all, the Xinwang Mansion is a pro-domain mansion, and I will not be ordered to have a chance to enter." ”

Cao Huachun smiled when he heard this: "I have long heard that Li Xianggong can speak well, and today I saw that it was so." ”

This can be regarded as making fun of Li Guobin, Li Guobin hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and smiles appeared on the faces of the three of them.

Li Guobin saw that Cao Huachun was still looking at a plaque under the wall, and said busily: "This is the plaque that the proprietor of my family just inscribed for Hutchison Qianzhuang, and it is not yet time to hang it." ”

Cao Huachun said with interest: "The proprietor of your shop is indeed the descendant of Feng Pangong, and as a military minister and a businessman, the handwriting is not bad. ”

Li Guobin said with a smile: "The proprietor of my family actually rarely writes, and this time he is only asking for help." ”

Generally speaking, the plaques with the Yusheng branch are written by some famous calligraphers, Li Guobin and others also want to get closer to Zhang Han, after all, the water here in Beijing is too deep, Zhang Han is not suitable for personal arrival, it is difficult for the two sides to meet if there is no opportunity, and to find some personal contact with Zhang Han from the beginning is also to strengthen the contact between the two sides, there are some personal friendships, this is also some of Li Guobin's experience in dealing with outside all the year round, if it is another number, Zhang Han will go to patrol once in a while, there is no need to do such a thing.

"No, no," Cao Huachun said: "Your proprietor's words are simple and atmospheric, and there is a sense of killing in his strokes, and he is indeed a high-ranking military minister with a very high status." ”

In fact, Cao Huachun feels that Zhang Han's words are wide open and closed, quite magnanimous, of course, the frame strokes are just average, and serious calligraphy is incomparable, Zhang Han is only a child after all, the words are actually very general, but the mind and temperament of these things can also be reflected in the font.

Li Guobin bowed his hand and said: "Husband Cao is really from the inner study hall, I heard that he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, and he is really extraordinary when I see it today." ”

Cao Huachun waved his hand and said: "Forget it, what's the use of learning, in the future, I will follow the country of His Royal Highness the King, that is, the identity of taking care of the money village shop or the official village and the acres." ”

When the other party mentioned this, it was time to get down to business, and Li Guobin and Liu Ji were silent.

Cao Huachun continued: "Recently, the king of letters is in a hurry to use silver because of some things, and your store is a big store that can release tens of thousands of silver, and the stewards and eunuchs of the palace and our family are all thinking, it is better to find a powerful one if you ask for ten families who are not responsible, if you can lend five thousand silver to Yusheng and make a long-term contract, His Royal Highness will return the kingdom of the king in the future, and he will definitely return it with interest." ”

Although Cao Huachun is quite generous, there is no eunuch who is not greedy for money, after all, in the future, he will have to find a way to inherit his son's heir, and he will have to buy acres of land and mansions, and he will also return to the clan...... At that time, people did not resent the habit of resenting the family because they castrated themselves when they were young, after all, if they were not castrated, they might have starved to death, if they were sold to others as slaves, it was not better than being a eunuch, they might be beaten and scolded and tortured, and they had to starve, and the slaves of large families at that time or the men of the trading houses were not easy to come up at the moment, how many people were forced to give up halfway, if they fell into the hands of professional beggars, children who folded their legs, feet and arms and became disabled abounded, it was better to be castrated at an early age, and not only did they have no worries about food and clothing after entering the palace, There is also a chance to soar and give back to the family, so in several large mansions near Beijing in the north, not only do poor people send their sons to the palace for castration all year round, but there are also many adult men who castrate themselves because of poverty in order to enter the palace, Wei Zhongxian and Li Lianying of the Qing Dynasty in later generations are the same.

Cao Huachun, who had 5,000 silver, planned to give 3,000 to King Xin, 1,000 to the palace eunuchs, keep 800 for himself, and take 200 out to share the profits with other stewards and eunuchs, so that everyone had nothing to say.

Knowing the intention, Li Guobin and Liu Ji glanced at each other and said in unison: "Husband Cao, please stay here for a while, and the two of us will go out to discuss." ”

Cao Huachun said quite understandingly: "This is not a trivial matter, please feel free to do so." ”

……

Ixan is pretending to be a porter, and he has nothing to do at night to hang out at will, the weather is already a little hot, he is still wearing a thick short jacket, which is also a habit that has been in Liaodong for a long time, after all, Liaodong is not better than Jingshi, even if it is this month, it is still very cold at night, but here in Daming Jingshi, the wind blows on the body at night is just a burst of people to feel comfortable and warm, the people of Jingshi enjoy this kind of time very much, people wear light robes or short robes, walking in the bustling and lively street market, There is a calmness and casualness on his face, and there is a little bit of arrogance inherent in the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven...... Ixan was very unaccustomed to these things, especially since he had never experienced such prosperity from Hetuara to Liaoyang and Shenyang, and saw so many tall buildings and so many people enjoying wealth and peace.

In Ixan's memories of nearly forty years, there were only wars and killings, and the icy chill that could not be dissolved in his bones in the winter cowered in the winter in the den.

As a serious Jianzhou Jurchen, Ixan's father and grandparents were all working in the horse market, and learned a serious Chinese early on, Ixan also dealt with the Han people since he was a child, learned Chinese, a few years ago he was transferred to Li Yongfang to use, in addition to the conquest of southern Liaoning, more time is to learn how to be a good work, he was once sent to Liaoyang, when the city caught fire, he and his partners and a group of Mongols conspired together to mutiny, drove away the frightened Ming army defending the city, opened the city gate, after the battle, The old Khan personally summoned a group of fine workers and praised them.

Houjin is extremely meticulous, Shenyang, Liaoyang, and even Guangning and many other wars, meticulous and internal should help at least half of Houjin, there are a few wars, if there is no internal response and meticulous work, it is impossible to win.

This time, Ixan and several other partners, plus the original rest of the people in the capital, were all sent by Li Yongfang, and what they wanted to assassinate was a mysterious force in the capital, and until now, the Jin side has not found out which side it belongs to. Whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei are excluded, in the past few years, the Houjin side has suffered heavy losses here, and it is also called Ixan and others have an inexplicable sense of horror about this trip to Beijing, they don't want to come over, but Li Yongfang is responsible for the spy work, lest the intelligence network on the Jingshi side be eradicated by the opponent, and under the opponent's aggressive offensive, there must also be a fierce counterattack.

The handsome man with a tall face not far in front of him was the target of this operation, Ixan and the others could not be sure until the other party talked to the owner of the restaurant, this restaurant has been determined by Houjin to be an enemy intelligence collection point, many operations have been launched here, since the other party has exposed their whereabouts, Yixan and others can only choose to do it.
