Chapter 137: Him First
Yan Hao, who led people all the way back from Wolf's Cave Mountain, didn't know that in Xinyang City, his baby son Yan Yaorui made Wang Mang beat him with a blue nose and swollen face.
And Wang Mang didn't know that he was just a dumb kid, and he actually brought out a real bandit like Yan Hao, Wang Mang was sitting in the painting boat listening to the information from Sister Hua.
"Two sons, the person you are looking for has already been found, he entered the city early this morning, and he hid as soon as he entered the city, if it weren't for our people all over Xinyang City, plus that person had a foreign accent and showed his face, we really wouldn't have been able to find him. Sister Hua looked at Wang Mang with a smile.
"Where are the people?" said Wang Mang.
"Before the half-pillar incense, people were in a small courtyard that is currently uninhabited, this person is very alert and experienced, and the terrain of this courtyard is very good, but if there is a little bit of wind and grass, the people in the yard can know immediately. Sister Hua said apologetically: "Originally, we planned to arrest people and give them directly to the two sons, but in the current situation, we are powerless, this person is not easy to catch, after all, we are a force hidden in the dark, if we jump to the surface, I'm afraid Xinyang Ling will not be the first to spare us." β
"It's okay, we'll catch this person ourselves. Wang Mang smiled: "Sister Hua can help me find out so much news, we are very grateful." β
"Without further ado, Sister Hua, please send someone to take us to that courtyard, and we'll go and catch people ourselves." Lu Yao said.
Sister Hua nodded happily, waved her hand to beckon a young man who was probing her brain, and ordered, "Xiao Li, take the two sons to that courtyard." β
Xiao Li nodded silently, glanced at Wang Mang and Lu Yao, and took the lead to walk out, Sister Hua said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Li has this temper, but he is still very reliable in doing things, and the two sons are more responsible." β
"It's okay, doing intelligence work, silence is a good quality. Wang Mang smiled and took Lu Yao to quickly follow Xiao Li.
For Wang Mang and the two who were following him, Xiao Li didn't say a word, he was just like a dumb person, and finally Lu Yao couldn't help but say curiously: "Xiao Li, what's your name?"
Xiao Li glanced at Lu Yao, then looked at Wang Mang with some vigilance, and said after a moment of silence: "My surname is Li, I don't have a name, people who know me call me Xiao Li, and my name is Xiao Li." β
Then no matter how Lu Yao asked, Xiao Li never said a word, and Lu Yao kept talking to Xiao Li with perseverance, and finally Wang Mang was a little impatient.
The two followed Xiao Li through a lively neighborhood, and finally stopped in front of a quiet alley, Xiao Li pointed to a courtyard with some weeds at the door of the alley and said, "The person you are looking for is inside." β
"I thought you were dumb?" Lu Yao snorted coldly: "When others beg me, I may not say a word to him, you are good, I beg you to speak." β
Xiao Li didn't pay attention to Lu Yao, but looked at Wang Mang and said: " The current owner of this yard is a businessman, since he went out three months ago, he never came back, the original owner of this yard was a robber wanted by the imperial court, he was in order to prevent the government from tracking, the yard was renovated, although the location of the yard is inconspicuous, but it is indeed accessible in all directions, you can reach the downtown area from any place at the nearest distance, and then escape from Xinyang City at the nearest distance, which is also later discovered by the government to track it down, the yard originally built a tunnel, and then was filled by the governmentγ β
"How do you know so clearly?" Wang Mang asked as he looked at Xiao Li.
"It's just a note I need to inform. Xiao Li said expressionlessly: "What should be said has been said, two sons, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first." β
"Yes. Wang Mang nodded and let Xiao Li leave.
Lu Yao said hurriedly: "You just let him go, I haven't played enough." β
"What are you playing, let's get down to business first. Wang Mang glanced at Lu Yao, and Lu Yao thought of Wang Mang's silent killing methods, and immediately stopped talking.
The two of them wrote down the address of this courtyard, and then walked around the courtyard for a long time, and it was indeed a good place with a good location in all directions.
In the end, the two of them stood at the mouth of the alley again, Wang Mang frowned and said: "With my strength, I can break in as soon as possible, but now we don't know what the situation is in the small courtyard, if there is an accident, with Niu San's cunning, it will be difficult to catch him again." β
"What then?" Lu Yao said.
"No matter what the situation is, let's get him first, startle the snake, and see the situation. Wang Mang frowned and said: "The problem is that you and I, Niu San know each other, and it is not suitable to go to the grass to startle the snake." β
"Then find someone to do it. Lu Yao said nonchalantly.
"Where can I find someone?" Wang Mang frowned.
Lu Yao looked around, his eyes lit up, and said, "You wait for me." β
Then Wang Mang saw Lu Yao walking towards the downtown area, where several officials were on routine patrols, and saw that Lu Yao first showed an object to the officials, and then the officials immediately followed Lu Yao with a kind attitude.
"???" Wang Mang cast a puzzled look at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao said with a smile: "These elder brothers received reports from enthusiastic people, saying that there were people here who set up private casinos, so they came to inspect them. β
Wang Mang continued to have a question mark on his face, although he was the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, he was still relatively confident in the quality of the officials of the Great Qin, but to say that any official was so enthusiastic, he didn't believe it at all, but now he can't dismantle his own platform.
Lu Yao and Wang Mang walked to the side and summed it up, and finally Wang Mang said: "Once the grass startles the snake, Niu San may run away at any time, these officials go up and knock on the door directly, and the two of us are guarding the corner of this courtyard, once they hear the knocking sound, they immediately jump on the wall, Niu San was born as a bandit, and he is most afraid of the people of the government, he will definitely not go to the main gate and face the people of the government, and then Niu San will definitely escape from the yard from other directions, we will wait for the rabbit, as long as Niu San is still in this courtyard, he will never be able to escape." β
"You're so confident in my strength. Lu Yao sneered.
"I'm really confident. Wang Mang smiled and said, "I have been in touch with the officials of Xinyang City quietly, so it is difficult for me not to be confident in you." β
"Hehe, if you want to get in touch with the officials, I'll teach you!" Lu Yao smiled.
"Believe it or not, if I really want to get in touch, I can do so at any time. Wang Mang smiled.
"Letter. Lu Yao nodded without hesitation and said, "I have long seen that you are not an ordinary person, why did you follow you when I wanted to see who your true face was." β
"Then you've got to wait. Wang Mang laughed, and together with Lu Yao, he arranged the arrangement of the two of them with the officials, and dispersed, waiting for the time to come, and waited for Niu San to be caught.
