Chapter 311 Joints
"What should the vice captain do with that Mao San... After speaking, Shen Kuo scratched his throat with his hand, and asked Chen Zheng if he wanted to kill his mouth, Chen Zheng shook his hand, "Shut it up first, dare to steal things from our heads, and let him taste the bitterness and increase his memory, no one will let him steal it casually." ”
"Okay, I know, vice captain, I'll go down and rest, you should rest early."
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Chen Zheng and the others got up early and began to investigate the stolen person's house. After several turnarounds, I inquired about the surrounding streets and alleys, but I didn't know much news.
I just know that the man who lived here before was a man named Liu Wenjie, according to his own communication with the neighbors, he was a bookkeeper of the Lian Chamber of Commerce.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Zheng also deliberately contacted Tian Bu to ask if there was really a bookkeeper named Liu Wenjie in the Lian Chamber of Commerce, and soon Tian Bu came with news that there was no such person in the Lian Sunburn Association, and it was obvious that this was the person's fake identity.
It is very likely that this person is not called Liu Wenjie, and he is definitely not engaged in accounting work, but according to the surrounding neighbors, Liu Wenjie's time and rest during this period of time are very regular, giving people the same feeling as normal work, so Chen Zheng is sure that this person must still have his own job in Dingbei City, but it has not been exposed for a while. From the fact that he concealed his true identity and real work, it can be seen that this person is cautious and decisive, and chose to escape as soon as he found out that his house was stolen, and he also destroyed some things at the scene, there is no fluke mentality, and he does not leave any clues for others.
The reason for such a panic, Chen Zheng also guessed a few points, those two pieces of dog's head gold will not make such characters frightened, I think it should be the bone brand, which is very important to Liu Wenjie and can already be said to affect his personal safety, and now that Liu Wenjie is leaving, he will definitely find a way to find this brand.
And now Mao San fell into the hands of Chen Zheng and others because of greed, and this brand became a young child, and then, Chen Zheng instructed everyone to scatter and pay more attention to whether there is anyone outside who inquires about the bone brand, and the possibility of this person being Liu Wenjie is very high. Everyone should pay more attention and pay attention to similar targets when they find them.
At this time, in a private house in the south of Dingbei City, Liu Wenjie, or Wan Yanliang, was sitting in the private house at this time, with a depressed face, there were still many broken bottles and cans on the ground, and there were still a lot of drinks flowing everywhere, even so, Wan Yanliang still muttered to himself while drinking, and when he was excited, he had to drop the wine bottle and then take a new bottle over, the depression on his face and the look of regret made people feel a little distressed when they saw it.
Just last night, Wan Yanliang returned to the house where he lived temporarily at the usual time, or it can be said that it was the foothold arranged by the people above, and suddenly found that the house was messy, it should be a thief, and after a simple search, he found that he just lost two pieces of dog's head gold.
But soon Wan Yan Liang was very happy and sad, and he suddenly found that the lone wolf token that he had originally placed in a hidden box was gone!
After several searches, Yan Liang still wondered if he had misplaced it, but soon found a very sad fact that his lone wolf token should have really been stolen, although this person did not erase the traces of his theft, but obviously he is also a veteran, there is no thing left that can prove his identity, and there is no monitoring of this kind of thing on the Yuanwu Continent, and it is extremely difficult to find the lost property again, even if it is transferred by the government to catch and help, it is a drop in the bucket in a city with such a large flow of people.
What's more, there are a lot of various cases that happen every day in Dingbei City, and things like losing property are trivial, and fights and even injuries and murders are very common. Many arresters and city guards are mainly focused on murder and wounding cases, where did they get so much energy to manage your theft, not to mention, this thing that Wan Yan Liang lost is really not suitable for being discovered by the people of the Beiyan Mansion.
It really doesn't matter if the two pieces of dog's head gold are lost, although they are the funds brought by Wan Yanliang himself, but this kind of funding gap can be withdrawn from the rear people at any time, and the grassland people have also invested a lot of money in order to support the development of these spies. But that lone wolf token must not be lost.
First of all, it is a gift from Wan Yanliang's father, or a chance. In the grassland, there are also places similar to Beiyan's Guozijian and Taixue to cultivate excellent clansmen, one is the Wu Yuan Association of wizards, and the other is the Heavenly Wolf Tent of the grassland warriors, all of which are famous big forces on the grassland, and every once in a while they will issue a large number of tokens, and the people who get these tokens are all proud sons of the grassland who are qualified to go to these two places to participate in the selection, and it can also be said to be a key to enhance their strength. Nowadays, many famous people in the grassland have come from these two places.
This lone wolf token represents the qualifications of the wolf tent, it is a token to go to the wolf tent, all small tribes may only be able to meet such a one for decades, even if it is a big tribe like Wan Yan's family, the number of tokens in his hand is not much, this is still Wan Yan Liang's father spent a great price to get it, Wan Yan Liang usually carries it closely, but after entering Beiyan, in order to avoid being discovered by the people of the Beiyan official mansion, he did not hide it on his body, but put it in a secret box, But what I didn't expect was that the thief who didn't know where he came from found it and took it with his hands, and when he thought that he had lost the token of the wolf tent, when he returned to the tribe, he would not only accept the ridicule of his fellow tribesmen, but also attract the beating of his father. Thinking of the fist that was harder than steel, and the eyes full of evil energy, Wan Yanliang was desperate at this time, and his heart was like ashes.
Wan Yan Liang hurriedly left the room before he was afraid of being recognized by the role of the token and then being approached to arrest him, don't look at the grassland people and the Beiyan people at this time are in normal trade, it seems that there is no smell of gunpowder, but as one of the executive members of the plan, Wan Yanliang knows that this is just the calm before the storm, plus the news from above before, the Beiyan people set up a military intelligence department, and began to clean up and arrest grassland spies like Wan Yanliang, Wan Yanliang knew what kind of life would await him in the future if he was really caught.
But he lost the lone wolf token and ran back in the dust, and his father and the brothers who competed with him would never let him go, if he couldn't find the token back, it would mean that the accumulation of Wanyan Liang's family over the years had been lost in vain.
Therefore, Wan Yan Liang must find a way to find a lone wolf token, otherwise his life is likely to come to an end, even if he is not dead, his status after that will plummet, from an excellent seed that is favored, to a despised waste, and even the situation may be even more difficult, no matter what, Wan Yan Liang must find a way to retrieve the token.
This city man's house was purchased by Wan Yan Liang before, and it was originally intended to be used as his hiding place, how to say that he was sent over to take over some intelligence matters, and she had heard the story of the cunning rabbit three caves of the Central Plains people. This place is hidden enough, and there are also some blades that may be used, and there are some prepared gold and silver that can provide material support for Wan Yanliang to have a relationship with the Northern Yan people.
At this time, Wan Yanliang regretted that it was useless, the top priority was to find a way to find out the thief, and this person's status should not be too low, and he must have his own power in his hands, and he could not let the official people interfere, either he didn't know his grassland identity, or some people secretly controlled by the grassland people.
After thinking about it for a while, the wine on the ground was almost dry, Wan Yanliang was still a little embarrassed, he always felt that there was no suitable candidate, the forest was big, there were all kinds of birds, and he was afraid that others would accidentally suddenly reveal the true content of the token, and he would be in danger at that time.
But suddenly, Wan Yanliang's eyes lit up, hahaha There was a candidate, Lin, hahaha, almost forgot about Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng is a native of Beiyan, his uncle is the commander of the city guard army in Dingbei City, and he is also a member of the personal guard of the city guard mansion, and the disciples of some gangs in Dingbei City are not shallow, plus he personally took care of Lin Cheng at the beginning, under his own hard work, Lin Chengcai threw himself into the arms of the grassland people, he knows his identity and details, and he is not afraid that he will expose his identity, if he spits out and asks him for help, he will definitely be able to recover the lone wolf token, thinking of this, Wan Yanliang is in a good mood, In the end, the bitter wine feels mellow and delicious at this time. Quickly cleaned up the wreckage on the ground, washed up quickly, changed into clean and tidy clothes, with good incense, and tidied up his hair, at first glance, he was a polite young scholar, and he couldn't see a little bit of the roughness of the grassland people, no wonder he was sent over as a spy.
After confirming that his clothes were neat, Wan Yanliang looked at the time, and counted the days, today is the day of rest, Lin Cheng should not be on duty today, if he is not at home at this time, he will probably go to the Shanshui attic.
Wan Yanliang came to Lin Cheng's house first, and sure enough, the door was closed, and the servants in his house also told him that Lin Cheng went to the Shanshui Loft today, and he was not at this time, if he wanted to find him, he could wait at home or go to the Shanshui Loft.
At this time, the matter of the lone wolf token was a little angry, and it was naturally impossible for Wan Yanliang to wait at Lin Cheng's house, so he simply went to the Shanshui Attic.
Soon Wan Yan Liang came to an antique pavilion with a huge plaque with four big characters written on it. The doorman at the door saw that Yan Liang was coming, and hurriedly walked up and said, "Mr. Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, please come in, please come in."
Wan Yanliang smiled and nodded, and then entered the door unhurriedly.
This landscape pavilion is a gathering place of literati and scholars, many of them are the magnates in Dingbei City who come to relax, many of them chant poetry or listen to music and painting here, and some are chatting, drinking tea and playing chess, it is a good place to make friends with big people, in order to be able to develop their own contacts, Wan Yan Liang has not sent money to this place, even if it is a literati boss, how can he not get along with business? The more Wanyan Liang consumed, the happier he became, and over time he became a distinguished guest.
In the hall in the pavilion, you can see many men and women chatting with people who are brightly dressed and look like high-grade silk, and you can hear the sound of silk and bamboo inside some private rooms.
As an old frequent visitor here, Wan Yanliang naturally knew where to find Lin Cheng, and Lin Kuai crossed this hall to the third private room on the right hand side of the second hall.
As soon as I entered, I saw two men playing chess, and there was freshly brewed tea next to them. With a light fragrance.
Wan Yanliang's sudden intrusion immediately attracted the attention of two men, one of whom looked at it fixedly, greeted him with a smile and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Liu, you haven't seen you as a chess master for a while, do you want to help me, Mr. Lin's chess skills are much higher than mine, and I can't resist it here."
Wan Yanliang refused with a smile: "Watching chess is silent, true gentleman." After speaking, he sat very calmly and watched the chess game. And that Mr. Lin also glanced at Yan Liang and nodded politely.
Then the two flag bearers had a hearty fight, no one was polite, the man may have exaggerated a little, his chess skills are indeed worse, but it is not at all not Mr. Lin's opponent, which is staggered, a small chess game is like a battlefield.
Time passed quickly, and the game was over quickly. The man who spoke said goodbye and left very interestingly, and after Yan Liang and the man surnamed Lin glanced at each other, they made a gesture of invitation to each other, and then they both sat down again. Naturally, a maidservant girl came in and served new tea, and then pushed the door and left.
Mr. Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, or a hint of anger, but he still took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Wanyan, what is the matter with you coming to me this time, I finally took a break, and there are not many leisure days." This person is Lin Cheng. However, at this time, Lin Cheng was puzzled, the above clearly informed him to be cautious recently, everyone disconnected from contact and lurked first, why did Yan Liang take the initiative to come to him again, dare to ignore the orders from above so unscrupulously, is there something wrong? I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Jianghu Otherworldly", " ", talk about life, find a confidant~
