Chapter 22: Smelling the Fragrance

In the Tufu Inn in Dengzhou City, Lu Chuanzong, who was pretending to be a fur merchant, was seriously looking at a brief map on the table, and there were four people sitting in the room, Zhang Dahui, Nie Hong, Zhou Shifa, Wang Yong, and Song Wenxian were not directly involved in this matter, and they did not meet for the time being after entering the city separately, and the direct command of this operation was Lu Chuanzong.

Wang Yong is also an old pirate, and he is a fierce man at first glance, but he is a familiar face, and his actions are inconvenient, so Lu Chuanzong asked him to mainly inquire about the news, and today is the second time that several people have met.

"Han Bin lives in Gulou Street in Xicheng, most of the time he goes out in the afternoon, generally goes to the Hongyun Gambling House near Guanyin Hall to gamble money, and the time of departure is uncertain, and then drinks and eats in Huixiang Restaurant, sometimes goes home at night, and sometimes spends the night in Mianchun Building." Wang Yong pointed to the part of the map in the west of Dengzhou, which was drawn on Song Wenxian Road and marked several major landmarks.

A cold light flashed in Lu Donkey's eyes, he had experienced many times since he followed Chen Xin, and he was completely different from the slender man a few months ago. "Brother Wang, who is in Han Bin's family?"

Wang Yong glanced at Lu Chuanzong, shook his head and said: "Brother Lu had better not do it at his house, his house is very close to the Dengzhou Mansion, there are many people during the day, and there are fast guards at night, and several of his fellow villagers also live in the same alley, Han Bin's people are all living out of many years of slashing and killing, it's really right, we don't necessarily want to please." ”

Nie Hong interjected coldly next to him: "Go over the wall at night and go in and kill it directly." ”

Lu Chuanzong shook his head: "It sometimes snows at night these days, leaving footprints, in case it alarms his fellow villagers or people from the government, it is not easy to escape, and besides, we live in an inn, so it is inconvenient to enter and exit at night." ”

Wang Yong had been to Japan with Chen Xin, admired Chen Xin, and asked Lu Chuanzong: "What did Lord Chen say?" ”

Lu Donkey said expressionlessly: "Lord Chen only asks for a single blow to be hit, clean hands and feet, he asked me to find out the law of Han Bin's activities first, and the action is divided into three stages: approaching, assassinating, and disengaged. ”

Wang Yong sighed, a little surprised that Chen Xin let go so much.

Zhang Dahui suddenly asked on the side: "Is Mianchun Building a green building?" ”

Wang Yong looked at the half-grown child and said, "It's a green building, which is better in Dengzhou." ”

Zhang Dahui pondered for a moment, and said to Lu Donkey: "Brother Lu, there are only four places where Han Bin is active, at home, in the gambling house, in the restaurant, in the Qinglou, and on the road between the three places, the home is too close to the government office and fellow villagers, so you can't choose, the gambling house and restaurant have his fellow villagers, it's best not to choose, in terms of time, it is inconvenient to enter and exit at night, only during the day." Then what we can choose is the Qinglou and the way to and from the Qinglou. ”

Wang Yong was a little surprised by Zhang Dahui's orderliness, Zhou Shifa was originally half a wanderer, and he was very familiar with these places where dirt and dirt were hidden, so he also came to express it at this time: "There are green hands in the Qinglou who watch the scene, if they are not clean, it is easy to be entangled by these people, and it is difficult to get out." ”

Wang Yong also agreed, "There are three or five rows in Mianchun Building every day,"

Lu Donkey looked at the map intently and asked Wang Yong: "Then when did he usually come out of Mianchun Tower?" ”

Wang Yong said: "There is a curfew at night, and he usually stays in it for the night. Came back early in the morning. ”

Zhou Shifa interjected again: "There are few people in the morning, and it is easy for him to notice." ”

Nie Hong said coldly: "If you notice what you're afraid of, you'll be killed with a knife anyway." ”

Lu Donkey looked at Nie Hong twice, and felt that although this person was reckless, he was very courageous, and turned his head and asked Wang Yong again: "Then did his subordinates follow him when he went to Mianchun Tower?" ”

"His subordinates have been together since they went out, until they came out of the Xiang Restaurant, and when he won money, he took these people to Mianchun Mansion together, and went alone when he didn't win money."

"How many roads are there between this restaurant and the green building? Which path is he used to taking? ”

Wang Yong recalled: "Three, but the last section has to go through the south gate of the school to the street corner of Mianchun Building. ”

Lu Donkey's fingers moved, pointed to the map, and said, "How many roads are there to get out of the city from Mianchun Tower?" ”

Wang Yong also stood up and pointed to the location of Mian Chun Lou on the map: "Mian Chun Lou is not far from Sheung Shui Gate, and you can go out of the city from Sheung Shui Gate." Or go west from Ying'en Gate, to the north and east you must first cross the stone bridge near the drum tower of West Street, from the west of the city to the east gate and the north gate must cross from this stone bridge. ”

"Watergate can also go out of the city?"

"Yes, in addition to the water gate, there are two side doors for people to pass."

The muscles on Lu Chuanzong's cheeks moved a few times, "Then let's temporarily set to do it on his way to Mianchun Tower, and immediately go out of the city from Shangshui Gate after he succeeds, Brother Wang, you will take us to see the surroundings of Mianchun Tower today, as well as the route to Shangshui Gate, everyone should remember the location of the alley when you look at it, and each alley will have to go once to determine whether it is passable." He paused and said, "I will follow him the day after tomorrow, and if there is a chance, I can also adapt to it." ”

Several of them nodded in agreement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three days later, the Gulou Street in the northwest of the Drum Tower is crowded, the prefect of Dengzhou Mansion Yamen is nearby, at this time the Spring Festival is approaching, there are many more people entering the city to buy New Year's goods than usual, the teahouse restaurant business next to the street is booming, Zhang Da and Lu Donkey are wearing felt hats, sitting at a table in a teahouse, pretending to listen to the commentary, and the corner of their eyes has been paying attention to an alley opposite. Today is the second time they ambushed, yesterday followed the afternoon, in the end, Han Bin did not go to the Qinglou, went home directly, the three subordinates have been by their side, and they did not find a chance to do it.

About a moment later, four people came out of the alley, all four of them had fierce faces, the leader was stout, although the hair and beard were gray, but the action was strong and powerful, the steps were steady, the hair was open, and the head was bigger than others.

Zhang Dahui turned his head to look at Lu Donkey, Lu Donkey's right hand slightly pressed down the brim of his hat, Zhang Dahui threw down a copper plate and got up to leave, carrying a basket in his hand, pretending to be a person who came to buy New Year's goods and followed behind Han Bin.

After Zhang Dahui left, Lu Donkey also paid to go out, he wore shabby clothes, and carried a basket in his hand, pretending to be a seller of small sugar cakes, and the knife under the basket, Nie Hong and the two people in the noodle shop saw him and followed out. The three of them were the ones who were determined to be directly assassinated, and the three of them were divided into two groups, twenty steps behind Zhang Dawei. Wang Yong was still ten steps behind them, wearing a felt hat and carrying a bamboo basket behind his back, no different from ordinary people who go to the city to buy New Year's goods.

Zhang Dahui followed Han Bin more than a dozen steps behind the four people, Han Bin walked in front alone, and the three subordinates behind him laughed and laughed behind, stopping at the street stalls from time to time, looking at the New Year's goods, Zhang Dahui had followed Yang Weiyuan in Beijing, Chen Xin taught him some skills to see on the Internet in the past, covering with some pedestrians all the way, wearing hats from time to time, changing some characteristics, Han Bin and others stopped when he stopped and pretended to ask the price, if he stayed a little longer, he also really bought some New Year's goods, the basket has been filled with some glutinous rice candy, sugar cakes, rice cakes and other things.

Zhang Dahui has walked this road three times, knowing that there is Guanyin Hall not far ahead, and the Hongyun Gambling House is there, his task is to follow into the gambling house, observe Han Bin's wins and losses, and prevent Han Bin from getting out of surveillance.

After approaching Guanyin Hall, Zhang Dahui found that the three people behind Han Bin were no longer giggling, and turned around many times to observe behind him and on both sides, Zhang Dahui suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and when he looked back at his back, Lu Chuanzong and his wife were twenty steps away, and they should not be exposed by the flow of people on the street. Why Han Bin and several people are all different from the beginning.

At this time, he just arrived at Guanyin Hall, but Han Bin did not go to the opposite Hongyun Gambling House, and after standing up, he looked back a few times, Zhang Dahui saw him stop, and flashed behind a Danlang in front, and when he probed again, Han Bin had already taken two people in, leaving a subordinate at the door. I didn't even go to the Fortune Casino.

After Zhang Dacheng turned around and gave Lu Chuanzong a look, he came to an incense and candle stall next to him, pretending to be pilgrims to buy incense, Han Bin's subordinates were all people from the fortune boat, and knew Lu Chuanzong, Lu Chuanzong lowered the brim of his hat and came to Zhang Dahui's side, picking up paper money and incense candles, Zhang Dahui didn't turn his face, but said in a low voice: "I went into Guanyin Hall, I don't know if it's burning incense, and there is a subordinate at the gate, Han Bin should come out of the gate." ”

"You go in and follow Han Bin, see what he's doing, and we'll follow his men outside."

"Okay."

After Zhang Dahui agreed, he paid for incense and candles, carried a basket and mixed with the pilgrims and entered the Guanyin Hall, and it was very natural when he passed by Han Bin's subordinates, he begged for many years, and followed Chen Xinkeng to abduct and deceive many times, and he had already practiced a good heart, and Han Bin's subordinates really didn't know it.

After entering the Guanyin Hall, first take a look in the courtyard, the courtyard is very wide, many pilgrims burn paper money, incense and candles in the courtyard, fireworks are permeated, there is a stage on the left side is singing, there are heads everywhere, fortunately, Han Bin's gray hair is very distinctive, Zhang Dahui found the target after a while, slightly fixed his mind, and walked over there.

Lu Chuanzong, who was outside the gate, watched Zhang Dahui enter, and turned to a crowded place to secretly observe his subordinates, Wang Yong came up at this time and said: "The situation is not right, this Han Bin never enters the temple, is it possible that he knows that someone is going to deal with him." ”

Lu Chuanzong remained silent: "It is impossible for anyone to know about this matter, only I know who Han Bin is when the adults arrange this matter, and the other three people only know their names after they arrive in Dengzhou." ”

Wang Yong was a little annoyed and said, "This Han Bin is really weird." ”

"Brother Wang doesn't have to worry, maybe he really went to worship Guanyin."

"He kills people like hemp, and with that virtue, he doesn't want to see him when he goes to Guanyin."

Lu Donkey observed the subordinate out of the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "That's right, don't talk about Guanyin, I see that he is also annoying." ”

About a quarter of an hour after the two separated, Lu Chuanzong saw Han Bin's white head popping up again, and when they came out, they didn't look around, and entered the Hongyun Gambling House opposite with a relaxed expression. Lu Chuanzong gave Zhou Shifa a dozen looks, and Zhou Shifa immediately followed.

Zhang Dahui also came out after a while, and he saw that Han Bin and the others were not there, so he came to Lu Chuanzong's side.

Lu Chuanzong asked, "What is he doing inside?" ”

Zhang Dahui said: "Han Bin was talking to a person under the stage, and the two subordinates were blocking outside, I pretended to squeeze to watch the play, and when I passed by him, I only heard a few words. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"The man said that he was a pioneer, and there was a little shopkeeper."

Lu Chuanzong and Nie Hong whispered at the same time: "Smell the incense sect!" ”
