Professor Wan also brought the news that Zhang Jingyao had returned to Changsha and immediately met with the "people sent by the president". He said: "Although our intelligence network has just been established and has not yet been perfected, it has already played a role, and our surveillance personnel hidden in the shadows have not only carefully seen Zhang Jingyao's appearance when he returned to Hunan and hugged him, but also how Lu Daya brought people to pick him up, and how those guests flattered Zhang Jingyao. ”

"How?" He Yuan asked in surprise: "Zhang Jingyao's mansion, have we also entered the house?" ”

"It also happens that Zhang's mansion wants to hire a handyman, so we took the opportunity to send a brother who has just lost his job, with a shop guarantor, and entered his mansion to do handymanship." Professor Wan said with a smile: "This thing was done by Lao Zhuang, Zhuang Xianming is a very clever person, as soon as he sees an opportunity, he will start immediately." What I didn't expect was that as soon as I got in, it played a role and sent out intelligence. ”

"Well," He Yuan lit a pot of cigarettes with satisfaction, Professor Wan was also addicted to smoking, took out a paper cigarette and lit it, and said to He Yuan: "You, an intellectual, prefer to hold a cigarette pouch and pot, and don't need to disguise, just like an old farmer." ”

"You're right," He Yuan said, "I like to think of myself as a farmer." As a matter of fact, if we mobilize the people now, we should also include the peasants, and if we are as comfortable in the village as we are in the city, our activities will be more effective. ”

Professor Wan shook his head, "It's hard. By the way, there is a strange thing, in the past two days, in and outside the city, there have suddenly been a lot of beggars, before, I would not care about these, these two days according to your arrangement, in the past two days, our intelligence officers have been installed everywhere, and suddenly found that there are called flowers everywhere, just like a beggars' festival. ”

"Really? I heard that the beggars do have a grand party, did they come to Changsha to gather? He Yuan raised his head and thought about it for a moment, "It just so happens that I will also go to the city tomorrow, and by the way, I will see what is going on." ”

The next day, He Yuan called the stone lock and walked into the city, and along the way, he saw beggars in twos and threes, begging all the way. Originally, there were more and more beggars in this year, but they generally acted alone, and it was rare to see groups of beggars begging together. When they walked into the city, the two of them had already seen several groups of ragged people called Hanako gathered together, some in groups of three, some in groups of two, and all with different accents. Shi Suo said: "It's a bit evil, what are these Huazi doing in Changsha?" ”

The two of them ran around the city, meeting with more than a dozen students, clerks and workers, arranging the information and contact network in the city, and were busy for most of the day, until it was getting late, and then came to the Jade King antique shop. In the corner of the wall not far from the store, I saw two beggars, cowering under the wall and probing their brains, Shi Suo said suspiciously: "Why are these two people like thieves?" ”

"Ignore them."

At this time, there were no customers in the antique shop, only Hu Xuan was sitting on a stool to rest, He Yuan and Shi Suo walked in and said with a smile: "Master Hu, how is the business?" ”

Hu Xuan laughed, "Business is booming, and now the business in various industries is generally depressed, but this antique shop doesn't seem to have been affected." ”

"This is not surprising," He Yuan said: "The more turbulent the years, the more warlords and politicians from all walks of life desperately tried to seize and plunder, just like in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the country was in turmoil, digging graves and robbing tombs was the most prosperous period." ”

The three of them all sat down, briefly summarized the situation in various places today, and were discussing, Shi Suo glanced out of the door twice, and whispered: "Those two are called Hanako, something is wrong." ”

His name was Hanako, and the two he saw in the corner before entering the door looked around the store for a while, and then walked away. He Yuan glanced out twice, and said suspiciously: "The thief stepped on the plate, it was not so blatant, they seemed to have something wrong." Shi Suo, let's go out, maybe they're looking for something in the store. ”

The two men walked out of the store, pretending not to care, walked out for a while, turned the corner and looked back, and sure enough, they saw two beggars looking around for a while, and then walked into the store.

Hu Xuan has been paying attention to the outside, beggars into the antique shop, it is not rare, I saw that these two people are thin and withered, covered with mud, they are indeed real beggars, he greeted warmly like an ordinary guest, "Two, please." ”

The two of them didn't look at the dazzling array of antiques in the store, but looked around for a while, seeing that there was no one else in the store, and one of them came up bald and said with a smile: "Master Hu, we are famous." ”

"Oh? Okay, what's the insight? ”

The bald man smiled, "Master, our brothers, I want to ask for one thing, you are an archaeological expert, may I ask, have you ever dug up an ancient tomb?" ”

"I've dug it," Hu Xuan felt a little ridiculous, "how can anyone who engages in archaeology not dig ancient tombs." ”

"Hehe, yes, I guess so, then, if you want to dig a tunnel through the ancient tomb, how to dig the fastest and best?"

Hu Xuan smiled, "You want to dig up the ancient tomb, I'm sorry, I can't teach you this, this is the rule of the industry, and it is illegal to dig casually." ”

"No, no, no," the bald man shook his head repeatedly, "we are definitely not digging graves, but we have something, really, Master Hu, you only need to give us a point or two, and you can solve the big problem for us." The bald man said, took out a white porcelain plate from his arms, and handed it to Hu Xuan, "Look, this is an antiquity, and we don't know whether it's worth it or not, so we'll give it to you, you can help and teach us two tricks, so that the flowers are grateful." ”

Hu Xuan didn't squeak, took the white porcelain plate, looked at it carefully, took a magnifying glass to inspect it inside and out, and said: "This plate is a private cellar in the Qing Dynasty, and it is not very valuable, but I will not ask for it if it is worth much." Take it back. He handed the plate back to the bald man.

The two beggars looked at each other, both a little disappointed, and the bald man said, "Master, we don't want to buy you with a plate, but Hanako is poor and can't get anything better." ”

"It's not that I don't think things are bad, don't get me wrong." Hu Xuan laughed.

"You just need to help, we promise, it's not a grave digging or robbing, we're just ...... If you want to save people, you have mercy on us. Later, the two beggars habitually took a begging tone.

Hu just shook his head. At this time, it was already dusk, the light in the house was dimming, and the antique shop closed earlier than the others. ”

The two beggars looked disappointed and still begged, and at this time, He Yuan walked in from outside. He winked at Hu Xuan, and said to the two beggars: "What is the matter with you, tell me, if you tell the truth, don't lie, I will give you a few kind words, and Master Hu may promise you." ”

The two beggars looked at He Yuan, a little strange, they didn't know where this stranger came from, He Yuan said with a serious face: "I heard it outside the door just now, if you are willing to tell the truth, I can find a way for you." ”

"That's right." Hu Shuan followed his words.

As soon as they heard that "Master Hu" was relieved, the two beggars looked at the door, and saw Shi Suo standing outside, He Yuan said: "He is my buddy, you can say it." It's okay. ”

The bald man whispered, "Master, we don't want to do anything bad, we just want to save Gai's head." ”

"Cover the head?"

"It's our helmsman, the head of the house, two days ago, he let the government arrest him and lock him up in the police station. We are all called Hanako, and we don't have money to ransom him, so we want to dig a tunnel and rescue him. ”

When He Yuan and Hu Xuan heard this, they both felt a little ridiculous, but if they thought about it carefully, their plan was not impossible.

"However," the bald man continued, "although we have a lot of people, we are not good at digging tunnels, and the important thing is that we must do it within one night, otherwise we will not only not be able to save people, but there will also be troubles. ”

After he finished speaking, the two beggars looked at the faces of Hu Xuan and He Yuan. And he looked out of the door twice, and it seemed that he was ready to escape.

"Have you broken the law? Why do the police grab the cover handle? ”

"Where," the bald man said with an aggrieved face, "Gai is a man who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and two days ago, he stood up for others and fought unevenly, but he was framed...... This is a long story, let's not talk about it first, since Gai Tou became our leader, we called Hanako Although he was poor, he never stole or rob, and everyone listened to Gai Tou's words, and he wanted to live on food, and he didn't do bad things. ”

"That's right," He Yuan nodded, "In the past few years, although there have been more and more Huazi, there are no evil deeds. By the way, today, I saw a lot of Hanako gathering in the city, so they must all be here to save the boss? ”

"Yes," the bald man nodded, "Even if we fight for our lives, we have to save him, originally, we didn't dare to trouble Master Hu, but everyone discussed and discussed, but we were really not sure, and we worked hard all night to dig up the police station." Therefore, I had to bite the bullet and wait for the dark shop to be less crowded, and then ask Master Hu for advice. ”

"I promise you." Hu Shuan said.
