Volume 5 Chapter 14 Eavesdropping
Ji Fa followed the surnamed Cen out of the tavern, and walked east along the street for about half a day, when he saw a mansion in front of him.
Seeing that the building is quite magnificent, there are a few people who look like guards standing there at the door, Ji Fa thinks that this is likely to be Fei Zhongfu, looking at the posture of the surname Cen in front, it is very likely that he will enter the mansion, and he can't keep up, if so, there is no way to find out what news.
Along the way, Ji Fa has been looking for opportunities, but first, it is not suitable to do it on the street, and secondly, he has not completely controlled the other party without being discovered, and in the absence of any clues, he does not want to cause unpredictable things to happen because of his reckless actions.
Unexpectedly, Cen Yu did not enter the mansion, but only passed in front of the mansion, and then kept walking forward without stopping, seeing this scene, Ji Fa couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and his footsteps accelerated slightly to follow.
After walking for a while, I came to the front of another relatively quiet teahouse, and saw two or three people walking out of the teahouse from a distance, and greeted the one surnamed Cen. Ji Fa was worried that they would find out, so he stood quietly next to a stall selling snacks in the distance, turned sideways, but at the same time kept his ears open to listen to the conversation of several people.
I heard one of them say: "I've met Lord Cen Yu, these two brothers and I have been looking forward to you for a long time."
It turned out that this person's name was Cen Yu, Ji Fa remembered this name, slightly tilted his head and glanced over there, and saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man, who looked like a wealthy businessman, dressed luxuriously but slightly tacky, with a splayed beard on his face that was extremely conspicuous, with a lovely smile when he spoke, and he was extremely enthusiastic about Cen Yu.
The other two people standing next to him were dressed similarly to Cen Yu, and they also looked like guards, but they were extremely respectful to Cen Yu, and there was a sense of awe in their words and demeanor.
Cen Yu nodded slightly indifferently to the two guards, and then said softly to the person who spoke before: "Well, there is something delayed just now, and Brother Lao Baiqing has been waiting here for a long time."
The middle-aged man who was called Bai Qing laughed heartily when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Where is it, Lord Cen is polite, come and come, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the teahouse and talk about it", after speaking, he asked Cen Yu to go to the teahouse first, and then followed in with the other two.
Ji Fa saw a few people enter the teahouse, looked at the terrain of the teahouse, and saw that the teahouse was very quiet, and there was an alley behind it, so he looked left and right and no one noticed, so he walked in from the mouth of the alley, and then quietly climbed up from a tree with a branch sticking out of the alley, and then slid down the low wall.
The wall is not very high, and the action of climbing a tree, which is almost integrated into Ji Fa's bones, naturally can't make much movement, so quietly Ji Fa dodged to the back of the teahouse, and slowly approached the teahouse while listening to the sounds in the teahouse.
Sure enough, Ji Fa's estimate was right, and when he was close to a certain location in the teahouse, he heard the voice of the previous Bai Qing.
Ji Fa squatted down and got closer, just listened to what you said in the room, but there was nothing meaningful, Ji Fa couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but there was no other way to think for a while, so he had to quietly change to a more comfortable posture, and then listen patiently, hoping to find some clues related to Daji.
After a few people in the room chatted for a while, then they heard an unfamiliar voice slightly suppressed their throats and said: "The adult is recently Zhang Luo to give incense to Nuwa Niangniang, there is a little shortage of manpower, the Taoist priest invited from Zhongnan Mountain knows to eat, drink and have fun, the adult is very angry, do you know about this matter?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Ji Fa suddenly perked up and sat up straight quietly.
I listened to Cen Yu's voice and said: "Yes, there is such a thing, the adults have been in a bad mood for the past two days, so they deliberately arranged for me to go down to Zhang Luo."
Another unfamiliar voice then laughed and said: "The boss has worked hard in the past two days, if there is anything that can be handed over to his subordinates, just leave it to my brothers."
Listening to this conversation, it seemed that it was the two guards who greeted Cen Yu earlier.
At this time, I listened to Cen Yudao: "This matter has to be handled carefully, if the matter is not done well, I am afraid that it will make the king angry, and it will not be easy to explain in front of the adults at that time."
Another guard said: "I can't do these things like incense, but the Taoist priests invited are insufficient, so where can I find so many Taoist priests, no wonder the leader doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
The other person continued: "That's true, I said Lord Cen, since you are a Taoist, it's not Zhongnanshan's line, but there are a lot of Taoist priests in our song, can you also catch some to make up the numbers at that time, after all, it is a genuine Taoist priest, it's better than your subordinates who go up to help, hehe", listening to this voice is the rich businessman.
"It's a good idea, but if things go wrong, if the king finds out, he will be killed." , Cen Yu listened to the voice as if he was interested, but there was a slight worry in his words.
At this time, he listened to the voice of the rich merchant before and smiled and said, "Anyway, it is some Youfang Taoist priests, and there is no problem with giving a warning in advance." This matter can be done in this way, as long as it is not publicized, who knows, and besides, it is always a Taoist priest, and it is not someone to pretend to be, I think this thing is feasible"
"Bai Ye Gao, let's see if that's it? If we're going to look for it," said one of the guards.
The voice paused for a moment, as if Cen Yu was thinking, and after a while, he heard Cen Yu say: "Cheng, this is how to do this, you two will go back first and arrange this matter."
"Yes"
"However, soon after the incense, it will be the enthronement celebration, and it may be useful for these people to keep it, so the more the better, you two should be careful."
"Yes", the two of them responded in unison.
When he was talking, Ji Fa stuck his head motionless behind the teahouse, for fear of making a little noise and being discovered by the people inside, so he heard the sound of footsteps, and the two of them went out from the front.
After the two of them left, they heard Cen Yu and Bai Qing in the house continue to chat, and Bai Qing's voice said: "Please ask your adult to help you say a few good words in front of Lord Fei for the things needed for this enthronement celebration, and the most important thing is whether you can take a chance to arrange an introduction to the next one, and there will be a thank you afterwards." ”
"This is natural, I will arrange an introduction for you, and there will be results tomorrow." , There are no outsiders at this time, and Cen Yu seems to be speaking a lot more casually.
"Thank you so much, come on, come on, drink tea," Bai Qing greeted warmly.
After a while, after taking a few sips of tea, Bai Qing said again: "There is nothing special about this year's Nuwa Niangniang's incense, why do you want to make a big splash this year?" Of course, this is naturally a good thing for us who do business, but I don't know if Lord Cen has any inside information that is convenient to reveal? ”
