Chapter One Hundred and Eight. Wise old man

Every time he came here, Chu Yunfei would feel like he was a different person, and this time was even more so. The mask on his face reminds him that he doesn't have to care about his status as a wanted person by the imperial court, because no one here is curious about your identity, asks about your past, and doesn't ask where your money comes from. Chu Yunfei had seen the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee here, and he had also seen wanted criminals, and occasionally he would find one or two fugitives who had committed a lot of crimes from here. It was precisely because of entering and leaving here that it was possible for him to discover the whereabouts of those people, and finally let those people receive the punishment they deserved. But coming here is a test for anyone, because the drunken life is very addictive, and if you are not careful, you can lose yourself.

Ye Huan knew how to take it very well, and after putting on that mask, he quickly quieted down. After asking in a low voice about the precautions here, he asked for three hundred taels of silver from Chu Yunfei's body and participated in the lively gambling game by himself. And what Chu Yunfei has to do is just to see the mysterious old man who claims to hide everything in the world from his eyes, he claims to know everything in the world, but the rule is that the news heard from him must not be leaked.

Wandering around, he was taken to a secluded door, and the familiar voice soon sounded inside: "It's you again, this time you have something important to ask?" But I wasn't necessarily able to help this time. Actually, if you don't come here, I know that you are in big trouble, and it is not a big trouble that ordinary people can handle. You know my rules, fifty taels of silver for a question, and no credit will be given. ”

As usual, the sound of wheels running, and then a small crack opened in the door, and a small tray one foot square protruded from the door. Chu Yunfei knew that this mysterious old man was a master of designing mechanisms, and this small tray that could be easily controlled from a distance was his masterpiece. Put fifty taels of silver, and the tray that senses the weight of the two will automatically retract. But this time it was different, the tray stopped in front of Chu Yunfei.

"As I said, it may not be able to solve the doubts in your heart, so you ask the question first, if you can't say that you are ugly, you will naturally not be able to accept your money. I have a rule, you know, don't answer any questions about the current Shengshang and Baihualou, and you can ask the rest. The old man's voice sounded again.

Chu Yunfei touched his nose, this was a situation he had never encountered before, if he encountered a tricky problem in the past, the old man on the other side could give him guidance. He thought about it for a long time before he sighed leisurely: "The theft of the palace, you have probably heard of it, can you tell me why the Liao Kingdom attaches so much importance to this night pearl?" ”

The person on the other side was obviously relieved, "Did Young Master Chu deliberately use this question to send me silver?" In fact, you know that the Liao State has coveted the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, but although they are strong soldiers, their national strength is far inferior to that of the Great Song Dynasty. In this peace talks, it was my Great Song Dynasty who had the upper hand, but in order to show the majesty of our Celestial Empire, the emperor surrendered his identity and gave them a lot of gifts. This night pearl is a holy relic, and even represents the destiny of heaven. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Liao has been coveted for a long time, and she is bound to win. Gongzi probably also heard that in order to welcome this pearl of the night, the Liao State even sent a guard of honor that only the emperor could use to wait on the border between the two countries. Childe is a smart man, so he naturally knows that this Night Pearl is already related to peace between the two countries, and if the news of the theft of the Night Pearl spreads, it may cause another war. Whether the war can be extinguished invisibly can only depend on the ability of the childe. ”

"So who is the one who stole the Night Pearl this time? As far as I know, it seems impossible for the famous thieves inside and outside the capital to be interested in the Night Pearl. Even the famous thief Ah Fei would only be interested in the other treasures of the inner garden. Chu Yunfei said slowly. He was far from the answer, so he had to be careful to interrogate, so as not to accidentally say the wrong thing, and then he would lose the whole game.

"If I know the answer, why am I still sitting here to solve my son's doubts? You should know the rules, I will only say the facts that are of interest to everyone, and some key questions, especially those involving the palace, will never be answered. "The person on the other side was clearly a little frustrated.

This is indeed difficult for strong people, and the old man on the other side rarely answers such a question, unless he is completely sure. Chu Yunfei smiled, "Then it's better to put it another way, is there a way in the world that can turn one person into another." I mean, being able to impersonate another person completely without arousing suspicion. ”

"There are no two people in the world who are exactly the same, just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, even if they are twins, there will be some differences, as long as people who are familiar with them can make judgments. It's not difficult to impersonate a person, as long as the body size and height are about the same, a little disguise can make unfamiliar people admit their mistakes. Not to mention the legendary transfiguration. I heard that Childe has a friend who is a master of disguise. The voice inside became a little flat, and seemed a little careless.

Chu Yunfei wanted to ask more about whether this incident was related to Baihualou, but he knew that it was not in line with the rules of the old man, although he didn't know why. He took out fifty taels of silver from his bosom and said lightly: "Hearing you say this, I have gained some inspiration, and now I have no doubts, I just want to know...... What do you know about Baihualou? ”

There was silence inside, and after about half a pillar of incense, there was a gentle cough inside: "Actually, I don't know much, I only know that Baihualou is a mysterious organization, they are arranged according to the seventy-two constellations, and it is impossible to guess whether the owner of the building is male or female, but it is definitely a powerful character, because no matter what they do, they will not leave any clues, and those characters who are targeted by them will be made into an unexpected illusion after death." Whether it is the government or the people on the road, it is rare to see the flaws. But in the past few years, the momentum of Baihualou has become stronger and stronger, and proud people will inevitably be complacent, and sooner or later they will show flaws, so I want to ...... Oops, fire! ……”

When he reacted, he only saw a figure inside for a moment, and soon disappeared, he wanted to rush over to see what was going on, but the flames that came out of it caught him off guard, so he had to flee the scene in a hurry.
