A group of people went inside, only to find that there were two courtyards open, a lot of rooms, and a small garden.

Xu Xinsu said to Chen Xin: "We'll stay here until dawn, and then change places." ”

Chen Xin listened to what he meant, and wanted to let himself join him, and immediately agreed, after all, this is his food and clothing parents, Xu Xinsu seems to be prepared, and even Nanjing has many residences. Two courtyards of this size are at most three hundred taels, which is not worth mentioning at all to a sea merchant like Xu Xinsu.

Now most of the people who have combat effectiveness are Chen Xin's people, he personally arranged the defense, arranged the secret sentry in several positions, and let the stupid monk live next door to Xu Xinsu, Xinyouweimen bandaged it slightly, followed Xu Xinsu into the room, and stayed inside.

Pu Zhuang picked a room by himself, and after a while of entering, he snored, and one of Xu Xinsu's remaining guards interrogated Tang Yan and others in a room, and after a while, a woman's moaning sounded, and the stupid monk licked his mouth, and also wanted to go over, Liu Min had two slaps and slapped him back.

There is usually no one living here, there is not even water, Liu Min has a dry mouth, and he does not dare to go to the river outside to fetch water, he has palpitations after the bloody battle, and he has no sleepiness at all, fortunately, Song Wenxian is similar, although this old rascal is bad, but in fact, it is also the first time to kill people with his own hands, he has no head and no brains to talk to Liu Min in a low voice, it is estimated that even he himself does not know what he is talking about.

They had been together all night, and before dawn the next day, the two guards rocked the boat downstream and lit a fire, and when the group left the courtyard at daybreak, they tied up the women and left them inside. Chen Xin estimated that Xu Xinsu was already merciful. If they weren't here, I'm afraid they would have burned these women together.

Chen Xin personally escorted along the way, making sure that there was no follow-up, Xu Xinsu led them to a three-entry mansion by the Huitong Bridge, where there were several maids and servants, which was another nest of Xu Xinsu, but the conditions were much better than last night. This house is next to the Yamen of Yingtianfu. After Xu Xinsu encountered this danger, he acted more carefully, in addition to doing things. Everyone is restricted from going out, and even going out to buy vegetables is Chen Xin's people, because these northern soldiers are the least likely to have anything to do with Zheng Yiguan.

Xu Xinsu knew that the painting boat would soon be discovered. As soon as he settled down, he sent someone to Yumian Building to warn Li Lihua, only to let her say that she didn't know where the guest came from, and told her the address where Tang Yan and the others were being held, and asked her to take them back by herself. Then a few guards were brought to the new residence, and the people who passed through Guò confirmed that the person who had not followed him yesterday was a fine work and had already run away. Xu Xinsu immediately sent his men back to Fujian, and asked them to kill the family members of the fine work, and it was up to them to see which of them arrived first.

After Xu Xinsu arranged. said to Chen Xin: "This courtyard was just bought, and even Zhan Yi and the others don't know it, so they are not in danger for a while." Zheng Yiguan's people suffered heavy losses last night, and they should not be able to launch it again. ”

Chen Xin agrees with his inference that this kind of assassination is all about hitting with all his might. If there is still strength, they will come together last night, and they will not wait for the next time, so Zheng Yiguan's strength is the same as last night's manpower. However, according to the leader's shout, if they fail to complete the task, their families will be in danger. After last night's assassination failed, it is possible to try again desperately, so that there is still a danger.

Chen Xin's eyes rolled and said to Xu Xinsu: "Brother Xu, if that subordinate is really meticulous, what else does he know?" ”

Xu Xinsu looked at Chen Xin and said with a sneer: "Brother Chen is saying that he will wait for the rabbit there." ”

"Exactly! If they don't give up, the first thing they have to do is find our place. I went to the inn first to pick up a few other subordinates, and they talked to Brother Zuo about the southern goods first. As for the killers, leave it to us fresh faces. ”――

In the private room on the second floor of a restaurant on Cunyi Street, Chen Xin was wearing a blue straight body, and his turban was replaced by a hat, which was completely different from yesterday's dress, although he was fighting with the assassins when he was attacked yesterday, but the light was dim, and both sides of the war were nervous, and now if he changed his appearance slightly, he would definitely not recognize him, so he decided to take command in person.

Xu Xinsu's original residence was on Cunyi Street, next to Jiacheng Street, and then Zhongzheng Street, where Chen Xin first went was not far away.

In addition to a few guards in the private room, there were also three wanderers, all of whom were Nanjing ruffians sent by Zuo Changhao, Chen Xin put three ingots and ten taels of silver on the table, and several wanderers swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"This is tea money for the three of them, as long as anyone finds out the clue...... Chen Xin paused, and the three of them couldn't help but raise their heads a little, "I will award one hundred taels, and Brother Zuo has another expression." ”

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he gently pushed the silver, and the three of them quickly took a spindle and put it in their arms, all of them smiling. Chen Xin only told sù that they were looking for a few enemies from Fujian, but did not say the reason, these wanderers were all mixed with the rivers and lakes, knew the rules, and did not inquire.

One of the guards sent by Xu Xinsu said: "Later, I will go to the courtyard, and then come out of it, you have to see if anyone follows me, and then you keep an eye on him and find where they live." This matter was explained by Zuo Changhao, if you dare to take the money and not do anything, you know what the result will be. ”

The three green skins didn't even dare to say it, Chen Xin instructed them: "You should pay attention to the fact that the people over there may also find people from Nanjing to investigate, so in addition to looking like Fujianese, the locals should also pay attention, these people are also veterans, you must be cautious, you are all old rivers and lakes, and other brothers will not be verbose." ”

A dignified-looking green skin nodded and said: "What Brother Chen ordered, the villain must be done, as long as there is a suspicious person showing his head, he can't escape the eyes of his brother, and our brother will take the one hundred taels." ”

Chen Xin smiled and nodded, Xu Xinsu's guards and a few green skins stood up and left, Chen Xin was at the window on the second floor, watching them disappear into the bustling flow of people, and went in the direction of the courtyard in the middle of the street.

Pu Zhuang was a little uneasy and said: "My lord, these green skins are not reliable, I feel that I don't have my own brother at ease." ”

Chen Xin smiled and said, "You are too murderous, but it is easy to attract attention in the crowd." Besides, you may not be better than them in this matter of finding out the news. ”

Pu Zhuang had to say no more, but he was an anxious man, and after waiting for a while and there was no news, he walked around the house, Chen Xin turned his head and saw that he had called him and said: "Pu Zhuang, those who are soldiers must be patient, especially officers." ”

Pu Zhuang said with a smile: "I'm not an officer yet, I'm just a non-commissioned officer of the pro-guard team." ”

"Just go back this time, I want to build a new team, you will lead it, the quota is fifty people, and I will allow you to select soldiers in the whole army."

Pu Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "Then I want to choose the excellent soldiers this time." ”

Chen Xin shook his head and said: "Don't choose all the veterans, this team is not for killing the enemy in battle formations, you have to choose some people with special skills, I want you to train them to become the strongest soldiers in the world, your training plan is all formulated by me, and Li Donghua supervises." When Pu Zhuang heard Li Donghua's name, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he had suffered a lot from this training officer, but Chen Xin's strongest soldier made him full of expectations.

At this time, Chen Xin suddenly stretched out his hand to Pu Zhuang, signaling him to stop, while Chen Xin looked at the street below through the window, when the guard of the bait was passing by, he didn't look upstairs at all, and suddenly accelerated downstairs, and his expression passed as usual.

One of the people behind also began to speed up, Chen Xin immediately noticed this person, he was wearing a white short suit, wearing a straw hat, and some oranges in his back basket, looking like a hawker, and then Chen Xin saw two wanderers in the back, they were chatting leisurely, and they didn't seem to pay attention to the vendor in front of him.

Chen Xin smiled slightly, these three wanderers were really inquiring about it, and they were very good at tracking, and they even left one person outside the house over there.

Pu Zhuang said: "It's a pity that I didn't see my face." My lord, what should we do next? ”

Chen Xin calmly walked to the door, and said, "You stay here, and the sea dog will follow me." He took the fur dog out into the street and followed the two wanderers.

The guard just came to be a bait, and didn't go far, so he bought some food on the side of the street, and then turned around and went back to the original yard.

The two wanderers separated, one entered a shop on the side of the road, and the other continued to go ahead, Chen Xin knew that they were set up at both ends to facilitate tracking.

Chen Xin observed the others further back, to see if there was anyone covering the hawker, but nothing was found, it seems that these killers are indeed understaffed, and it is estimated that there are other people at the gate of the house.

After the guard turned around, the vendor unexpectedly did not follow, but after looking left and right, he continued to walk in the direction he had just been, and turned west out of the street entrance to the direction of Kasung Street.

Chen Xin looked at the wanderer, followed by the hawker one after the other, the hawker was slow and leisurely, not in a hurry, he kept going all the way, and went farther and farther, and after passing the entrance of Jiacheng Street, he walked in the direction of Zhongzheng Street.

Chen Xin was strange in his heart, and suddenly his heart moved at the intersection of Jiacheng Street, and he turned north into Jiacheng Street with the sea dog, without continuing to follow, and the sea dog did not ask the reason, after walking into the street for dozens of steps, he followed Chen Xin to sit in front of a wonton stall.

The two asked for wontons, and the sea dog asked in a low voice, "My lord, why don't we follow?" ”

"There is also a hawker wearing a hat at the corner of the street, it is already afternoon, his pick is still full, it may be to cover the person in front, I guess their hiding place is in this Jiacheng Street, according to Xu Xinsu, the insider is the person who got the news to inform Zheng Yiguan, then they must not be far from Cunyi Street, otherwise they will not rush to the Qinhuai River so quickly."

The fur dog scratched his head, he couldn't understand it anyway, and when the wonton came up, he ate it regardless of it, wiped his mouth after eating, looked up at the street, and just saw the vendor wearing a straw hat just now returning and walking straight into Jiacheng Street.
