Chapter 50: Exploration

In the guest room on the third floor of Tongji Building, Liu Ji and others have been staying here for three days, and for three days, except for the mysterious owner who has only shown one side, the rest will come and go every day, including himself.

Nominally, they are looking for a suitable place to live, but in fact they are looking for all kinds of news, and all kinds of news will be sent back every day, which is summarized here by Liu Ji, and the strange thing is that he wants to know everything, and he doesn't know where the focus is.

"Lee Sang-kook was infected last month, and he was buried recently."

"Ping Hong Fang has recently reopened, and the business in the workshop is better than before."

"There are a few houses nearby that want to be sold, but the main family heard that it is Li Xiang's family, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get along."

"Our Zhongcheng is the city that entered at the beginning of the month, I heard that the movement was very great, and the city was talking about this matter everywhere, the Tubo people were placed in the Fanfang in the west of the city, there were hundreds of people, this is something that has never been done before, and the people of Honglu Temple are all very busy."

"Zhongcheng temporarily lives in Gaokai Mansion, do we want to contact each other secretly?"

"No, don't take the initiative to contact for the time being, he will send someone to Wugong County, everything is up to his arrangement."

Liu Ji wrote down the things one by one, turned his head and asked.

"Is there any news about the target?"

The target was an allusion, and the sergeants replied knowingly, "How can it be, if there is something going on in this city, eight out of ten things will have something to do with her." ”

"A few months ago, the Yang family traveled with five gates, and was blocked by the princess's car, and the Hao slaves of the Yang Mansion were beaten with whips, and even the horses suffered losses, and guess what, the princess sued the Son of Heaven before driving, in addition to the house slaves who did it were killed by the rod, and the horses also lost their errands, and they couldn't take advantage of it at all, and now who doesn't know, the Yang family can't be provoked."

"Hmph." Liu Ji sneered unexpectedly, the Yang family danced too happily, even if there was no Anshi Rebellion, once the new emperor ascended the throne, the end can be imagined, this is completely the way to die, there is a kind of getting by, no matter what happens behind him.

"Quchifang's annex, how is the survey?"

"Chen Jin is staring at people, there is no useful news, Mrs. Qiu Guo has only come back once in three days, accompanied by her brother Yang Guozhong, the courtyard is heavily guarded, the patrol density is extremely high, they dare not act rashly, they can only go around the periphery at present, and no trace of Mr. Yan has been found."

"In terms of purchasing, there is no harvest either?"

"The people who are responsible for the purchase every day are the stewards of the house, and they have to dispatch three carts at a time, and the things purchased are enough to support a hundred people, and they can't tell what is abnormal, but they found out that they will buy the whole sheep every day, which is indeed the food that the northerners love."

Liu Ji's expression perked up: "There is one every day, is it the same for three days?" ”

"It's been three days, they're going to record it every day, and you can't be wrong with that."

"How big is the whole thing, and how many people can feed it?"

"Five or six people, any more is not enough to eat."

Liu Ji knew in his heart, if Mr. Yan still had guards by his side, it was very likely that he would be in a group of five, and if he was in Mrs. Qiu's courtyard, such a security force would be enough, because with the Yang family's current moxibustion hands, who would dare to look for their business?

"Has the news gotten out?"

"It was dispersed on the same day, our people are in a number of wine shops, Goolan Fence, Qinglou, and Secret Doors, and they will be replaced with different people every day, without any suspicion of deliberateness, plus the momentum created that day, these days there have been a lot of people secretly inquiring about our news, and they have blocked back to the shopkeeper."

"It's a good job, since the response is very good, don't deliberately spread the news anymore, continue to inquire about the news in the city, both the government and the opposition, especially about this peace talks, what is the attitude of the court, why has it been so long, and there is no definite result?"

This is also Liu Ji's doubts, it stands to reason that on the day of the prisoner's sacrifice, that is, when the edict was announced to the world, the Tubo people came to surrender the country, and how to deal with their people and places, there should be a clear statement, but they were so many days late, and the prisoner sacrifice ceremony had passed for many days, and there was no news.

"The subordinates understand, so let's do it."

"No, you stay and do my business, I'll do it myself."

Liu Ji couldn't help but hold him down, his subordinates need to be tempered, he also has to train himself, and before his subordinates grow up, the main thing has to be done by himself.

Jinchangfang is located in the southeast of the city, separated by two square cities from their target, the purpose of choosing this place is neither too close, in case of suspicion after the accident, nor too far, Chang'an City has a night ban, and the action at night should take into account the reaction speed of the patrol, especially the patrol law and strength near the target location, which he urgently needs to know.

Because three days have passed, Mr. Yan will definitely be suspicious when the news does not arrive for a long time, and they must take action immediately.

But to do things in a strange place, the first thing is to be familiar with the geography, plan the route, do a good job, and not blindly mess around, Liu Ji is not stupid enough to think that he can handle the capital of the Tang Dynasty alone, and he is unscathed.

Walking in this dream city, Liu Ji is like a world away, those oncoming crowds of people in ancient costumes are as lifelike as a group performance in Hengdian, but unfortunately there is no camera placed anywhere, and no one suddenly shouts "cut", this is real life, not acting.

Along the road in the workshop, Liu Ji all the way to the target location, both sides are tall square gates, the shape is the same, about half a meter wide, about three meters high, built of bluestone, the top is the cornice, there are stone cracks between the walls, there is no powder mud, it is not difficult to climb.

In a corner outside Quchifang, he saw at a glance that Chen Jin, who was sitting on a stone step as a merchant, was originally from Guanzhong, and even had no flaws in his accent, and he was also tall and handsome.

This guy is very smart, he didn't stay directly near the courtyard, but on a way to go, he pretended to walk over casually, and picked up a comb on the shelf.

"Has the target purchaser returned?"

"It's back, just like yesterday."

Liu Ji put down the comb and walked forward, the same as yesterday, it means that the owner did not come back, otherwise there should be changes, the quantity and quality will be different, it is about to be the time of the night fast, the pedestrians in the street are gradually decreasing, he walked to the back door of a house, dodged and hid behind a big tree, and slowly waited for it to get dark under the cover of the tree.
