Seventy-six, espionage

At the beginning of the lanterns, Wende slowly walked into Yichun Courtyard under the leadership of Wende Yingke.

Under the triple effect of modern makeup, bone shrinking and source force adjustment to the body, Wende's appearance now looks about twenty-four or five, like a man of this era, with his head tied and bearded, his height is about three or four centimeters taller than normal, but his weight has lost more than thirty pounds at once.

From a distance, it looks like a thin bamboo pole, with heavy dark circles and bags under the eyes, needless to say, it is an image of an overindulgent and hungry ghost.

There is no resemblance to him normally, that is, familiar people see him without knowing it, and they will never recognize who he is.

Wende used this image to investigate the Changle Gang and find a breakthrough.

The identity claimed to the outside world is: the son of a wealthy merchant who transported coal to Chang'an to sell, surnamed Mei Shiren.

In view of the hot sale of honeycomb coal stoves in Chang'an City, the price of coal has risen quite a bit in recent times. Therefore, around the time of the Chinese New Year, there are still an endless stream of businessmen rushing to Chang'an to transport coal.

He was inconspicuous in it, not to mention that he deliberately used his ability to make a batch of coal and sell it into the coal yard, and the contract procedures were all available, leaving absolutely no flaws.

In recent times, he has also become a bit famous in the land of wind and snow and casinos. After being slaughtered by the casino as a fat sheep for more than 100 taels of silver, many low-level gangsters of the Changle Gang recognized Wende.

There were also a few bold and black-hearted people who came to Wende to fight the autumn wind, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they were dozens of taels of silver, and they were directly thrown out by Wende's "companion".

Then the people of the Changle Gang came to make amends, and gave more than 20 as gifts without pain.

Wende accepted it unceremoniously, and then before the day passed, he lost back at the casino in Changle Fang.

It was a joke for a while, and at the same time, it also fulfilled Zhang Long's name of loyalty.

"Zhang Long" and "Zhao Hu" are also Chu Yunhe's old department, and they are two of them with very strong abilities, especially good at spying and transmitting intelligence.

This fight has always been the old business of the two of them since they were in the army.

So when he returned to Chang'an this time, considering that the future was uncertain and he didn't know anything about Chang'an, Chu Yunxiu asked the two of them to take the first step on behalf of Wen De.

is not only an outpost, but also as an undercover agent, and collects intelligence with the Sky Pavilion.

In recent months, they have also done quite well, and with Wende providing sufficient funds, they have even developed into a small organization of more than ten people, and they also have a lot of eyes and informants.

Wende's disguise and even the art of clavicle were all taught by Zhang Long.

And starting from the casino is also Zhang Long's suggestion.

The reason is that through some secret investigations, Zhang Long found that several casinos under the Changle Gang have the habit of slaughtering fat sheep from other places - this is not uncommon for casinos - but the Changle Gang relies on the Chang family and acts more unscrupulously.

Generally, casinos and brothels deal with foreign visitors, and at the same time, they will also leave a margin - leaving some entanglement for those people who can barely return to their hometowns, so as not to cause trouble if there is really an accident.

But the Changle Gang doesn't even have this scruples.

It was Zhang Long who came to Chang'an, and when Wende and the others hadn't arrived yet, the casino of the Changle Gang caused a lawsuit because of this.

A scholar lost all his money because of gambling, went home shamelessly and hanged himself in the inn, and his scholar begged all the way back to his hometown, provoking the scholar's father to come to ask for justice.

It is said that in the end, it was the casino that lost money and paid for it.

But after knowing that the Chang family had bad intentions towards Yunxiao Pavilion, Zhang Long habitually dug deep into this matter, and was stunned to find that the scholar's father left Chang'an after the incident, and no one knew when and how he left Chang'an!

It's not so much that he's gone, it's that he's missing.

On the scholar's hometown, Wende sent someone to confirm the news, but he has not yet obtained conclusive evidence.

Zhang Long thinks that this matter is not quite an isolated case, and if he investigates carefully, he may be able to find out more.

There's the thing about Wende's disguise.

He pretended to be a fat sheep just to lure the Changle Gang to attack him, and at the same time, he also made special friends with several people with similar identities and cast a wide net.

At the moment, it seems that it is half the success, and the autumn wind that day is a kind of temptation in Zhang Long's view.

Given that Zhang Long is an expert in this area, Wende trusts his judgment.

So after the fight, Wende and Zhang Long's disagreement became obvious at once - so as to give Changle a chance to help.

Seeing Wen De approaching Yichun Courtyard, Zhang Long pleaded bitterly according to the agreement, "Young master, it is now over fifteen, and the lord and wife of the family are still waiting for you to go back!" ”

Wende waved his sleeves, "Father handed over the business to me to handle, and now the business bank still has a little coal pile, so can you leave easily?" Strode inside, and when he saw that Zhang Long was still about to follow, he glared again, "Go out, don't disturb my young master's Yaxing!" ”

Zhang Long "hesitated" for a moment, and stopped him while welcoming the guest.

On the other side, there was also an old bustard who greeted Wende, "Mei Gongzi came this time, I don't know which girl I want to find?" ”

Winder threw a corner of broken silver to her, and asked, "Is Miss Ruyan free?" ”

The old bustard was embarrassed and said: "Ruyan's body is a little uncomfortable today." ”

With Zhang Long's help to make up for evil, as well as the actual operation in the recent period, Wende finally barely figured out the process and rules of the ancient "Great Sword".

Knowing that the bustard was taking the opportunity to ask for the price, he took the ingot of silver and threw it in his hand, "If that's the case, forget it." ”

The old bustard really changed his tone, "Ruyan knows how happy the son is to come to see her." "Said that there was a need to touch up the makeup first, and asked Wende to sit in the corner of the hall.

Winder didn't care, and when he was busy over there, he was thinking about things related to Ruyan.

Ruyan's full name is Liu Ruyan, he is less than 20 years old, his appearance is acceptable, but his talent is not outstanding, and he is not a clear person. There is a little fame in the entire Yichun Courtyard, but it can only be said that it is more than enough than the top, and it is barely better than simply lying still.

Such a **, there must be hundreds of similar people in the entire Chang'an City.

Wen Deyuan didn't notice it either, until he pretended to be a fat sheep and made friends with people, in the process of drinking flower wine, someone unintentionally sighed and said: That Liu Ruyan looked like the young daughter of the Yang family on his side.

It is also the intention of the speaker, but the intention of the listener.

Afterwards, Wende asked Zhang Long to secretly investigate.

As a result, I learned that the Yang family in that person was originally a big family in their area.

It turned out to be a martial arts heirloom, and it was quite famous, but after more than ten years, a fire suddenly failed, and the yard burned all night, but after the fire was extinguished, no one in the Yang family could escape!
