The streets of Chang'an City are full of people, and pedestrians coming and going are busy with their own affairs.

People have completely shaken off the panic of last year's rebellion of King Jin, and everyone's faces are filled with relaxed and happy expressions. The drum tower that was burned down on the day of the night fire in Chang'an has also been rebuilt, although it has not had time to be decorated as luxurious and magnificent as in the past, at least its majestic momentum has reappeared in its former style.

In the midst of the bustling crowd walked a young figure. This man was not tall, his appearance was not good, and he was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, and he looked like a young man from some unknown hotel, and no one would look at such a person. However, the actual identity of this young man is Wu Sicheng, the palace director of the official residence Wupin.

Wu Sicheng is twenty-five years old this year, one year younger than the current emperor Liu Yan, but he is already an official of Wupin. As a person with no background, no backstage, and not from the imperial examination, this is simply a fantasy. But this Wu Sicheng, with the identity of the prince's companion, provided accurate information for Liu Yan, who was still the crown prince at that time, before the current emperor Liu Yan ascended the throne, and at the same time made outstanding contributions to the prince's smooth accession to the throne, plus he has been by Liu Yan's side for the past eight years, and his relationship with Liu Yan is close.

Wu Sicheng, who appeared on Chang'an Avenue at this time, was ordered by Emperor Liu Yan to contact an official belonging to the neutral faction. This matter must be carried out quietly from the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother, and Wu Sicheng, who is proficient in intelligence reconnaissance, has become the undisputed candidate. After the matter was successfully completed, Wu Sicheng took advantage of the time to take a stroll around Chang'an City - the eyes and ears he had arranged for so many years would always have some valuable information to report.

Wu Sicheng first went to a small restaurant called Fengle Lou. There's one of his eyeliners there. From his mouth, he learned that in the past month, the second housekeeper of Han Kemin's family had come to this restaurant four times to meet with a man. The two of them spoke very attentively, not knowing what they had instructed the man.

Wu Sicheng was not very satisfied with this. After all, there is nothing valuable about this message, and it is not surprising that Han Kemin has any actions, not to mention that this restaurant is a place where the second housekeeper often comes, and it is impossible to deduce any valuable information from this bit of information alone. After asking the man in detail about his appearance, Wu Sicheng left Fengle Building.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Sicheng went to three or four places to meet with eyeliner, but there was no decent information. The frustrated Wu Sicheng came to Jiuqiaofang, where he had an eyeliner, but Wu Sicheng didn't look for him to get any information, purely because the identity of this eyeliner was a vendor selling omnivorous snacks. And the scallion roasted rabbit meat and golden silk belly he made are very delicious, this person was originally nicknamed Liu Baldzi, because his rabbit meat is delicious, others jokingly call him "six rabbits".

"Six rabbits, let's have a plate of scallion roasted rabbit meat, plus a plate of golden silk belly." Wu Sicheng said as he sat down on the bench.

"Yo, you're here, wait a minute. Just a little bit. Liu Bald said with a smile.

In a short time, two plates of snacks were served. Wu Sicheng saw that Liu Bald's eyes seemed to have something to say, and he looked at the pedestrians on the left and right, and said, "Six rabbits." Why does your rabbit meat look different from usual today, is it not fresh? ”

"Yo, look at what you said. How dare I do that, wouldn't that ruin my own job? Today's plate of rabbit meat is a new recipe I have come up with, you can taste it if it suits your taste. Liu Bald took the opportunity to reply.

Wu Sicheng understood. I picked it up with chopsticks and tasted it, and said, "It's really different, come on, come on, tell me how to make this rabbit meat." ”

Liu Bald wiped the oil on his hands on his apron, sat down, and said, "You really know the goods, I'll tell you about it." ”

After sitting down, Liu Bald lowered his voice and said, "My lord, I have had some situations here recently. ”

Wu Sicheng said quietly: "Say." ”

"A few days ago, a few scoundrels ate at my place, and because they drank too much, they began to talk about what the servants looked up to him, and begged them for something."

Wu Sicheng's eyebrows moved: "Lord Servant? Which servant is it? ”

"The villain didn't know it, but he heard that their eldest brother had a friendship with the servant-sama, and now the servant-sama was going to send them to do something big. Originally, the words of this group of drunks were not cared for by the villain. But at this moment a few other people came, and they reprimanded the gang of punks, and then hurried away. The villain felt that something was not quite right. ”

Wu Sicheng's eyebrows tightened: What does Lord Servant need to let the scoundrels do to do? The so-called servant shooting adults are nothing more than Han Kemin and Yan Ming, Yan Ming is upright, so the possibility is much lower, if it is Han Kemin, it is consistent with the previous information. However, there are still too many links missing in the middle, which need to be further verified.

"What a fragrant rabbit meat, please let me eat some." A voice interrupted Wu Sicheng's thoughts.

Wu Sicheng looked up and was startled. It turned out that the person who came was none other than Yang Tao, the swordsman who rescued him on the night of the night fire in Chang'an. Wu Sicheng hurriedly got up and gave up his seat, and Liu Bald saw that someone was coming, so he retreated and went to work himself.

Wu Sicheng smiled and said to Yang Tao: "Today is really strange, how can I meet you here." ”

Yang Tao smiled and said: "Some things are too tired to eat too much, just come out and change the taste." Besides, I haven't thanked you yet. ”

"Thank you?"

Yang Tao picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth, then leaned closer, and said while chewing: "Thank you for instructing the imperial dining room to add some portions to the emperor's dishes every day." ”

Wu Sicheng blushed when he heard this. Because he knew that Yang Tao went to the imperial dining room every day to steal something to eat, he ordered the portion of each dish to be increased, so that the emperor would not feel that the portion of the dish had become smaller.

Yang Tao smiled: "Actually, I think the emperor only eats one bite or two of each dish, where can he finish it, and it is a waste for you to increase the portion." ”

Wu Sicheng smiled and said softly: "I didn't expect you to be a glutton, you are also a glutton, you are tired of eating in the palace and you are eating outside." ”

Yang Tao seemed to be very happy, reached out and patted Wu Sicheng's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you for my sake, and I'll help you." ”

Wu Sicheng was stunned: Help me? What does this mean?

Yang Tao saw that Wu Sicheng's face was different, so he said softly: "Haven't you noticed it?" You've been followed since you left the palace. ”

Wu Sicheng was taken aback when he heard this, he has always been cautious, how could someone follow him but not know the truth at all?

Yang Tao continued: "They have divided into several groups of people, each of whom has followed you for a while, and then replaced by someone else, so that you will not notice that your whereabouts for this day have been mastered by others. It seems that they have understood that you are the source of intelligence, and cutting off your source of intelligence is an important move. ”

Wu Sicheng figured it all out in an instant, it turned out that Han Kemin contacted the market splashes in order to weave a huge net, and this net was actually himself! Indeed, if all of his eyeliner had been removed, he would never have been able to gather so much information. Wu Sicheng's mind quickly recalled the places he had been to today, the eyeliner that he had faced, and then said: "Sheep hero, there is a reluctant invitation below." ”

Yang Tao glanced at him and said, "Help you notify those eyeliners that they are in danger, right?" No, I don't have the time to run one by one. Those pimples have already been taken care of by me, you have to go back and check up and down, after all, it is a homicide case. ”

"Cooked? All! Wu Sicheng's eyes widened - how many lives did this take.

"Yes, I knew that you would definitely ask me to deal with it, and it would be easier to kill people than to let me run from house to house." Yang Tao quickly swept away the whole plate of rabbit meat, and then began to eliminate the golden silk belly, and said while eating: "You better go back quickly, and in addition, give me ten more plates of rabbit meat, ten plates of golden silk belly, well, it's really delicious."
