Chapter 17: Covert Observation

As soon as Song Nian said this, Chu He also frowned.

Truly.

He was very dissatisfied with the choice of the heir of the Wang family.

"Well, this matter, I'm afraid it's also a little strange, let's go and investigate." As soon as Chu He said this, Song Nian nodded and said, "Well, it just so happens that I am also going to the fish market to inquire about the matter, so let's split up in a while." ”

"Okay, Black Bull, turn to the fish market." Chu He said.

"No, I'll get off here, Lord Chu, you go and inquire about the Wang family's buying and selling of opium. Using forbidden objects to control officials, I think the Holy One will not spare him! Song Niangang wanted to stand up, but the carriage bumped and collided directly with Chu He.

"It hurts!" Song Nian covered his head: "You dead man, why are you so close to me!" ”

Chu He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly sat up straight.

The two of them discussed the plot, habitually approached and whispered, and accidentally bumped into each other.

No wonder her words shook my ears just now.

Song Nian rubbed his head: "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." ”

Then he jumped out of the carriage, called out to Zhang Heiniu, and went directly to the fish market.

"Zhao Da! Go, call someone, change into civilian clothes, go to the city to ask for news. ”

After Chu He's instructions, Zhao Da drove the carriage back to the inn quickly, and after a while, more than a dozen people dressed in civilian clothes blended into the lively flow of people in Jiuyuan Mansion.

Chu He was dressed in civilian clothes and walked around the street at will.

Although he was wearing civilian clothes, there were still many people who looked at him in surprise.

Chu He walked for a while, always feeling that something was wrong, and frowned and looked at Zhao Da beside him: "Is my clothes inappropriate?" ”

Zhao Da looked at it: "No problem, my lord." ”

Chu He still felt that something was wrong. The two walked for a while, and there were more people looking at him, and there were many girls, and when they saw Chu He, they smiled shyly and covered their faces with handkerchiefs or fans.

Zhao Da seemed to understand a little, glanced back at Chu He, and said in a low voice: "My lord, your clothes are fine, but your face is ...... That's a big problem. ”

"What's wrong with my face?" Chu He frowned.

"My lord, your face is so beautiful, look, those women, they are all looking at you." Zhao Da said with a smile.

"...... What's so nice about this! Chu He frowned.

He never thought he was good-looking, and since he took charge of the Black Armor Army, he has had a lot of lives on his hands, including many women, but no one has ever been moved by his appearance.

"My lord, you usually wear either the robe of our black armor army, or the three-grade purple robe, who dares to look at you." Zhao Dale said hehehe: "Now that you are wearing civilian clothes, you are tall and tall, which naturally attracts the attention of these women." ”

Chu He frowned, unexpectedly, this face had become a problem.

"Let's go!" He walked a few steps quickly, and saw a hat hanging from the shop on one side, so he walked in, grabbed a black gauze hat, put it on his head, put down the black gauze to cover his face, and asked Zhao Da: "What now?" ”

Zhao Da was even happier: "My lord, you are dressed like this, everyone knows that you are sneaky, and you will definitely not do good things." ”

Chu He frowned, suddenly turned around, and asked the shopkeeper to buy a shabby pu head and an old clothes, Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went up to help Chu He change clothes.

After changing his clothes, Chu He took Zhao Da and went straight to the middle of nowhere.

Wearing old clothes, there are really a lot less eyes looking at him.

However, although people rely on clothes, Chu He is tall and still very conspicuous.

"Hmm...... Face...... Still can't do it......" Chu He gritted his teeth.

"Knives!"

Zhao Da was stunned: "My lord! ”

"Less nonsense, knives!" Chu He stretched out his hand.

Zhao Da was helpless, took out a short knife from his sleeve, and handed it to Chu He: "My lord, this, there is still a way for subordinates to disguise, there is really no need to probe ......"

"What are you talking about?" Chu He took out the knife, pointed it at himself with the snowy blade, and looked at it.

"It's too white." He grabbed the dirt from the ground, wiped it on his face, and slapped it again, so that he just looked tall, and his facial features were upright at best.

"Whew, I'm scared to death." Zhao Da breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, what do you think I'm doing with a knife?" Chu He faced the knife, and finally sorted out the "shape", but he always felt that something was wrong, glanced at the crowd in the distance, and reached out to make his hair messy and dusty.

"My lord, I thought you were going to use a knife to disfigure, but my subordinates just felt that they were just investigating the case, and they couldn't ...... it," Zhao Da hurriedly said.

"Am I that stupid?" Chu He threw the knife to Zhao Da.

Zhao Da hurriedly took the knife and nodded: "Naturally, my lord won't." ”

The two reintegrated into the crowd, and this time, only occasionally someone glanced at Chu He, surprised by the height of this person, and then looked away.

In this era, there is no shortage of people like Chu He, who are yellow-skinned and dusty.

The two wandered around the streets for a while, looking for someone to ask about the situation.

Soon, a lot of gossip was harvested.

For example, the Wang family used to have a large number of people, and they feasted guests at every turn, and many beggars liked to go to the Wang family to eat, but the result was ...... In the past few years, the Wang family has become very indifferent, there are fewer customers, and there are no banquets, but these beggars are starved, and they can no longer eat free meat.

For example, in the past, many servants of the Wang family were sent to other places by the Wang family for unknown reasons, and it is said that they were all given travel expenses and were not allowed to return to Jiuyuan City.

For another example, the Wang family used to be arrogant and domineering in the city, and later even liked to gallop horses in the city, and even beat the people at will......

In short, the Wang family has always been messy over the years, and the most important thing is ...... A gambler told the two that the Wang family used to gamble everywhere, and over the years, there have been fewer and fewer Wang family members who have gone out to gamble.

Therefore, the gambling stalls in Jiuyuan Mansion have been closed for four or five, and the business is not good.

Zhao Da asked in a low voice, "My lord, is this...... What does the Wang family want to do? ”

Chu He said lightly: "The Wang family ...... There is a change of blood inside, and there are many things, and I don't want people to know, so I dismissed the doorman and the former servants. ”

"Then the gambling money is ......" Zhao Da was still puzzled.

"Don't let the children of the Wang family come out to gamble, I'm just afraid...... It's to gather all the money so that we can do great things......"

Chu He felt more and more that the Wang family had made a big move.

"Let's go, go to the crude medicine shop to inquire and see if the Wang family has any opioid business......

……

The pharmacy of the Wang family in Jiuyuan Mansion burned one last night.

However, along the way, Chu He asked that the Wang family was in Jiuyuan Mansion, but there were four crude medicine shops.

The one that caught fire last night was the largest, and it was also the main crude medicine store warehouse of the Wang family.

However, the other three crude drug shops were not affected and were open for business.

Zhao Da and Chu He infiltrated one of the crude medicine shops, pretending to look inside.
