Chapter One Hundred and Three. Rats have rat paths (below).

After learning that Xiao Mo was looking for him to meet early in the morning, Xiao Ran was quite happy, however, when he came to Xiao Mo's room, before he could say hello, he saw the two lists that Xiao Mo had placed in front of him. 【Reading.com】

"Brother Mo, how do you have their fame?

Xiao Ran didn't know much about reading, but after taking a few glances, he also knew that there were some of his friends' names on it, so he looked up at Xiao Mo in amazement and asked.

Xiao Mo said lightly: "The list in your left hand, the people recorded on it, you don't want to associate with them in the future, the reason why they will associate with you is because they are uneasy and kind, and they want to get my news from you."

Xiao Ran heard Xiao Mo's explanation, his body shook, he looked down at the list in his hand carefully, and then looked up at Xiao Mo, with a look of disbelief in his expression.

Xiao Mo shook his head, didn't explain, pointed to another list, and said, "As for the people in this list, they are some people who have special skills in my opinion, what is your relationship with them?"

Xiao Ran said hesitantly: "Fei Qiang, he is not bad, he fits my temper very well, he has been with me these days, and the relationship is very good." As for other people, like Wang Qiang and Wang Meng, I have only had a few drinks with them, and Li Liming has only chatted with him occasionally, and the relationship is just average. As for this Fan Xiang who met by chance a year ago, he is very interesting, and I often talk to him for drinks and chats, but it doesn't have anything to do with it......

After Xiao Ran explained the relationship between him and the people on the list to Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo nodded and asked, "Do you think they can be trusted?"

Xiao Ran subconsciously wanted to nod, but when he saw another list, he finally shook his head and said, "I...... I don't know. ”

Xiao Mo nodded with a smile and asked again, "Do you think these people will be willing to go to the capital with me in the future?" ”

Xiao Ran was slightly stunned, and then seemed to think of something, and asked incredulously: "Brother Mo, do you want to send them to the current people in the mansion?"

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "No, they are not the material of the current people. You also know that in a short time, I will enter the capital, and it is inevitable that I will become an official after the palace examination, but I don't know anything about the affairs in the capital, so I want to find some people to find out the news in the capital for me in the future. ”

Xiao Ran was stunned and said, "Can't you go to the capital to find someone?"

Xiao Mo said lightly: "I don't have a trustworthy person there, and even if I can find people there, I'm not sure if they will be spies of other forces."

Xiao Ran is not a stupid person, after hearing Xiao Mo's words, he nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Brother Mo'er, what do you mean, let them find out the news for you, but you can't let others know, right?" ”

"Yes, even I don't have much hope for them, as long as I can stop me from being in the capital and my eyes will be black."

Xiao Mo nodded and said.

Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "Except for Fei Qiang, I'm not sure about anyone else, I'll try my best!"

Xiao Mo nodded and smiled: "It's troublesome Brother Seven, remember to contact them separately, don't let them know about the existence of others." ”

Xiao Ran nodded, and after being told a few more words by Xiao Mo, he said goodbye and left with a strange face.

With today's knowledge, he still can't understand the purpose of what Xiao Mo is doing now.

Looking at the back of Xiao Ran's departure, Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to Deng Shangquan and said, "Shangquan, you go with Seventh Brother, I'm afraid Seventh Brother can't handle these things."

Deng Shangquan nodded, and also left the room, chasing Xiao Ran.

When Xiao Mo was the only one left in the study, Xiao Mo sighed slightly, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a wry smile.

"There are still too few people."

The reason why he wanted to establish his own intelligence network this time was also because he wanted to get rid of his own dependence on Songshan Academy as much as possible, and now Xiao Mo's sources were all from Songshan Academy, although it was timely and reliable, it was not what Xiao Mo wanted.

However, at the very beginning, Xiao Mo found that he still needed the help of Songshan Academy, at least, when it was inconvenient for him to show up, he couldn't do without Di Shang Quanzhou's assistance before and after, and many things mattered, and now Xiao Ran couldn't do it alone.

At the same time, even if he could really accept those people for his own use, Xiao Mo had no way of knowing what role these people would play in the future.

Bi Jing, although Xiao Mo has heard this thing many times, it is the first time he has set it up by himself, crossing the river by feeling the stones, and he doesn't know what to do, so he can only take one step at a time, and implement what he thinks of first.

Thinking about the origins of these people, from gangsters to gang thugs, from down-and-out businessmen to charlatans, even Xiao Mo himself does not have much confidence.

It's just that there are some things that must be tried, even if they may fail.

"In any case, let's just think of it as an attempt, anyway, even if it fails, there is nothing to lose."

After a long time, Xiao Mo only sighed.

said that Xiao Ran and Deng Shangquan, after sending the Xiao Mansion away, began to run around for Xiao Mo's orders.

In the beginning, things went smoothly.

When that Fei Qiang learned of Xiao Ran's intention, he agreed without much hesitation, and the only request was that he could take his sister into Beijing together.

Wang Qiang and Wang Meng, brothers, were originally thugs of a small gang in Changzhi City, and after hearing about Deng Shangquan's salary for them, they agreed very happily.

After that, according to the first list of the 0m text version collected by Deng Shangjin, Xiao Ran and Deng Shangquan visited one by one, and after agreeing to their various requests, and telling them not to pass it on, they were all negotiated.

In the end, there were only two people left on the list, namely the charlatan Fan Xiang and the down-and-out businessman Li Liming.

For Li Liming, Xiao Mo had another purpose, and didn't want to use him as a spy, but just invited him to go to Xiao Mansion the next day to talk to Gong Mo, Li Liming obviously didn't expect the famous Wenqu star Xiao Mo to find him, although he didn't know what was going on, he still nodded and agreed.

The only exception was when he came into contact with the charlatan Fan Xiang.

When Xiao Ran said his intention, he saw that Fan Xiang's face actually showed a look of smiling rather than smiling, looked at Xiao Ran, and asked, "These are all the meanings of Xiao everyone?"

Deng Shangquan was just about to say something, but Xiao Ran was already waving his hand and said impatiently: "If it wasn't Brother Mo'er's idea, why did I come here to find you?" Old man, do you promise to say a pleasant word?

The look on Fan Xiang's face that seemed to be smiling became more and more serious, and he was faintly disdainful, shaking his head and saying, "I can't agree."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "Old man Fan, you have to think about it, it's just to let you stay in the capital for two years, and find out some news by the way, just like you usually do, and there is no risk, the only requirement is just to let you not reveal your identity, but you have a consistent income every month, which you don't want to?" ”

Fan Xiang shook his head and said: "There is indeed a lot of money every month, but I don't want to go to the capital to be played as a fool for the sake of this consistent money."

Xiao Ran's eyes widened, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by Deng Shangquan.

"What do you mean by that?

Fan Xiang sighed, slowly stood up, and said to Xiao Ran and Deng Shangquan: "It won't work at all for you to send people to the capital to find out the news. Forget it, I won't invite you, take me to meet Xiao everyone, I have heard the name of Wenqu Xing for a long time, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet him. β€œ

Xiao Ran's nose was about to be angry, but Deng Shangquan had already bowed down and said, "In that case, sir, please." ”

When Xiao Ran and Deng Shangquan returned to Xiao's mansion, it was already evening.

After hearing Xiao Ran tell him about the things before and after, Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, judging from this Fan Xiang's reaction, it seemed to be a bit of a master, but it also caused Xiao Mo's good temple.

"Young Master, do you want to meet that Fan Xiang?

Just as Xiao Mo was thinking about it, Deng Shangquan asked.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Mo nodded and said, "Okay, bring him to the study."

Then, Xiao Mo turned his head to Na Xiao Ran and said, "Seventh brother, you have been busy for a day, now go and take a rest, I will inform you if there is anything." ”

"Brother Mo, you don't have to be polite to that old liar, I can't be more familiar with that old man, almost everyone has been deceived by him, I guess he is coming to cheat again this time.

After Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, he finally nodded and left, and before leaving, he told Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

However, because of Xiao Ran's words, Xiao Mo became more and more curious about that Fan Xiang.

can deceive everyone around him, at least it proves that this Fan Guan is a smart person.

Only a smart person can become a liar who abstains from martial arts

It didn't take long for an old man to slowly enter the study under the leadership of Deng Shangquan.

The old man was ordinary-looking, thin, and not conspicuous.

Xiao Mo also noticed that the old man's right leg seemed to have been severely injured, and it was quite inconvenient to walk.

Sitting behind the desk, Xiao Mo didn't get up to greet him, but asked slowly, "The senior is Fan Xiang?" ”

Fan Xiang was unceremonious, sat directly on the wide chair next to him, and did not answer Xiao Mo's question, but looked at Xiao Mo with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "Listen to Xiao Ran's kid, Xiao everyone wants to form a newspaper network in the capital?"
