Since the assassination of King Yong in the imperial capital one after another, there have been many more people quietly inquiring about the news in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital.

Some of them are the secret agents of Emperor Yu, some are the dark lines of the Yongwang Mansion itself, and some are the eyes and ears of other kings, in addition, the major princes and families who live in the imperial capital have also sent their own capable people to secretly investigate.

But any relevant wind and grass will be meticulously conveyed to the ears of all forces, and finally gathered into a detailed information for the bigwigs of all parties to refer to.

And among this group of people, there is a mysterious person, he dressed up as a passing merchant and went to Yongfu Building, one of the largest taverns in the eastern city of the imperial capital.

"Come on, serve the food. The man chose a window seat upstairs and shouted loudly.

"It's coming. Xiao Er hurriedly came to receive him and asked diligently, "What does the guest officer want?"

"One pound of beef in sauce, four steamed buns. Hurry up!"

"Well. Wait a minute. ”

Xiao Er neatly wiped the table again, but saw that the young man dressed as a merchant had already taken out the money bag and was about to pay the bill.

Xiao Er's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly flattered: "Guest officer, you don't need to rush to pay the money, you can use it to pay the bill after the meal." ”

I saw that the guest officer said impatiently: "Lao Tzu will have something to do later, but I don't have time to wait for you to settle the bill." This grain of five taels of silver will be given to you, and you can go, and give me the change when the food is served. ”

"Great!"

Xiao Er has been doing this for several years, and there are many guests like this, so it's not strange at the moment.

After a while, when Xiao Er came to serve the food, Xiao Er also paid off the change to the guest by the way.

After Xiao Er left, the man dressed as a merchant immediately devoured it, and glanced at the silk shop opposite downstairs without a trace.

"King Wei's eyeliner is in that silk village, how can I get in touch with the other party? Damn, this thing has to be done with bitter meat! I have to ask Master Li to give me a reward when I go back, otherwise I won't do it in the future." ”

This old man ate the steamed bun and the beef in sauce quickly, humming and chirping in his mouth, and muttered alone in a voice that he could only hear.

After eating, Lao Wu's eyes turned slyly, and then he pretended to be a fool of himself and ate the overlord's meal, and secretly jumped from the window on the side.

Hearing only the sound of "oops", Lao Wu clenched his buttocks with pain, got up from the ground with difficulty, and then ignored the surprised eyes of others, and limped to the silk village across the street alone.

"Go away, go away!" the old man shouted as he walked into the silk village.

As soon as they entered the silk village, the boss and his men hurriedly ran over to stop them, for fear that they were coming to make trouble.

Lao Wu saw that the people in the silk village stopped him from entering, and hurriedly whispered to the owner of the shop: "Boss, you let me in and leave through the back door, and I will be thanked when I turn back." ”

"Eh, who are you, did you drill into someone else's store like that?" a guy scolded.

Lao Wu glanced back vigilantly, and saw that the people in Yongfu Building did not "chase" out, so he pretended to be relieved, and continued to hurry: "I'll go out from the back door and ask for a shortcut to Jing'an Fang, it's not in your way." ”

"Yes, of course. The shop in our silk village is also the front door, what if anyone like you comes in without saying hello and scares away our customers?

When Lao Wu heard this, his face turned red with anger, and he scolded: "Ya, I said do you know where I am? Lao Tzu is a person from Yongwangfu, you want to offend me, and you will not have to do business when you turn around." ”

Just when Lao Wu rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight, the boss who had been silent next to him didn't know what he heard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, so he hurriedly shouted at his guy and said: "Don't quarrel, this merchant will let him pass if he wants to pass, just once, it's not a big deal." The old man taught you, isn't it to be angry and make money?"

"Count you as acquaintances!" said Lao Wu with a nod.

The boss stepped forward, with a kind smile on his face, and said flatteringly: "Xiaodian didn't know that you were an adult from Yongwangfu, so it was abrupt." ”

"It's good to know. Lao Wu had a somewhat arrogant smile on his face.

"When an adult enters our store, it really makes the small shop shine. Why don't you go to the back hall to rest first and let the shop entertain you with a cup of tea?" the boss couldn't help but take his hand and said with a smile.

Lao Wu was happy in his heart, but he pretended to look back at it with a weak heart, and then hesitated: "Isn't this okay?"

"Don't worry, if someone chases you, I'll say that the adults are gone, and make sure that no one bothers you. The boss seemed to know the other party's worries and continued.

"Okay then, but first of all, I still have urgent matters, so I'll leave after a while!"

"Don't worry, just have a cup of tea. The boss couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Lao Wu finally agreed to stay, and at the same time welcomed Lao Wu into the back hall of the store with great anticipation, and gave a look to a guy, who understood, and secretly ran to the backyard.

In the back hall, the boss of the silk village and Lao Wu were talking and laughing while drinking the top hair tips, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

At this time, the boss of the silk village began to introduce himself: "Contemptible Zhuang Xin, I am the boss of this silk village, I don't know what to call the adult?"

"I'm just a dozen miscellaneous people in King Yong's mansion, just call me Brother Wu. Lao Wu said casually.

Zhuang Xin's eyes twitched a few times when he heard this. Isn't this miscellaneous person in King Yong's mansion just a servant, and he is still ashamed to take advantage of himself, and he can't help but feel contempt in his heart. I thought that I was also a small housekeeper in the Wei Wangfu back then, but today I called a servant to be an adult called Brother Wu, and I was really aggrieved to think about it.

"Brother Wu has a good background, it's really enviable. Zhuang Xinyan praised insincerely.

Lao Wu showed a vain look on his face, but he pretended to say casually: "Boss Zhuang doesn't know, there are many rights and wrongs these years." Especially these princely inner gardens, they are the most peaceful!"

"It's not peaceful, I heard that King Yong had an accident a few days ago. Zhuang Xin answered intentionally or unintentionally.

"Isn't it? At that time, people were in a hurry, and the entire Yongwang Mansion was in chaos, which made us suffer. Lao Wu sighed.

"And then? I heard it's okay now?"

"Yes, the king of the county was able to walk and jump the day before yesterday. However, King Yong no longer went out, and spent the past two days recuperating in the mansion. ”

"Did the Yongwang Mansion find out who was the murderer? If this person is caught, he can't be cut with a thousand knives?" Zhuang Xin looked indignant for him, and said indignantly.

Lao Wu smiled bitterly: "Boss Zhuang doesn't know. This case is one by one, but the water is very deep. In a contest of the rank of King Yong, then his opponents must all be at the king level. ”
